"Mama Li, I don't want to see the Queen Mother, I don't think she likes me." The one who spoke was a little girl about eleven or twelve years old, the little girl had white and tender skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of eyes that were extremely beautiful, but the cowardice in her eyes ruined this beauty.

Mama Li lowered her body and said softly: "The Queen Mother is the grandmother of the county lord, how can she not like the county lord." ”

It turned out that the little girl was Ning Xi, who was ten years old.

"But, grandmother, she rarely summons me."

"That's because the Queen Mother is too busy, and the county lord should also be considerate of the Queen Mother, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, the county lord should not make trouble for the Queen Mother, okay?"

Ning Xi nodded and continued to walk towards Yanshou Palace. Mama Li sighed in a low voice while Ning Xi was not paying attention, remembering that when the eldest princess was there, the queen mother still loved the little master, and now that the eldest princess is gone, the queen mother is angry with the little master, and it is rare to see the little master once a year, seeing that her little master's personality is becoming more and more introverted, and she is becoming more and more sensitive, she is distressed.

Just walked a few steps, Ning Xi couldn't help sneezing, although it was spring, but there was still some coldness in the air, Mama Li saw this, and secretly scolded herself, because she was in a hurry and forgot her cloak on the carriage, the county lord was already weak, and then it was blown by the cold wind, and I don't know how much suffering I had to suffer after I went back.

"County Lord, the old slave went back to the carriage to get you a cloak, can you stay here alone and wait for the old slave?"

It's not that Mama Li ruthlessly threw Ning Xi down, it's just that Ning Xi is weak, and there is already a thin layer of sweat on her forehead when she walks here from the palace gate, she really can't bear Ning Xi tossing back and forth, she only blames her for leaving the four maids outside the palace, otherwise there is no need to leave the county lord alone now.

Ning Xi carefully looked at the surrounding environment, now she was on a quiet palace road, there were some flowers and plants on both sides of the road, and there was a small pavilion not far away where she could rest, although Ning Xi was still a little scared to stay alone, but she still nodded obediently.

Mama Li didn't dare to continue to delay, and walked to the palace gate after telling Ning Xi not to run around.

Ning Xi stared at her toes and stood on her toes for a while, her eyes turned a little unbearably lonely, Ning Xi had very little time to enter the palace, and for her, everything in the palace was strange and novel.

Suddenly, seeing a peach tree standing with a little pink on its branches, Ning Xi got closer, his eyes showed joy, and sure enough, a few branches of the tree had bloomed, and the appearance of budding was not pitiful.

Ning Xi bit her lip, and after making sure that there was no one around, she stood on tiptoe and reached out to reach the peach blossom as much as she could, but she was short and couldn't reach it after trying several times, so she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, twisted her delicate eyebrows, and stomped her feet.

Suddenly, a hand crossed the top of Ning Xi's head and picked the peach blossom that Ning Xi was thinking about.

"Do you want this peach blossom?"

Ning Xi, who didn't expect someone to appear suddenly, was taken aback, and turned around to see that the person who spoke was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, handsome, but his unsmiling appearance made Ning Xi a little scared.

The young man stretched out the peach blossom in front of Ning Xi and raised it: "Don't you want this peach blossom?" ”

The young man had actually been standing behind Ning Xi for a while, and seeing this little man trying to stand on tiptoe to reach the branches, but he couldn't reach it, he didn't know why he actually pleased him, especially the appearance of her not picking the peach blossoms and stomping her feet, which made him laugh, although he didn't see the little girl's look, but he felt that this girl should be very annoyed now. In the end, he actually stepped forward to help her pick flowers for the first time, but he had never been used to showing his feelings, so in Ning Xi's opinion, the young man was a stern appearance.

Ning Xi looked at the peach blossoms in front of her, with a look of longing in her eyes, but she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, but subconsciously shrank her body, she was really not good at contacting strangers.

Shu Heng frowned, thinking that it wasn't his own look that scared her, so he put the peach blossoms on the ground and turned to leave.

Ning Xi looked at the peach blossoms that were quietly placed on the ground, and then at the back of the young man leaving, pursed his lips, picked up the peach blossoms and ran towards the young man.

The young man who had already walked away felt that someone pulled his sleeve, and subconsciously turned his head, but saw that the girl just now was holding a peach blossom in her left hand, grabbing his sleeve with her right hand, and staring at him with her head up.

"What's the matter?" The boy raised an eyebrow and asked.

Ning Xi panicked, she came to thank her, but in the face of the stranger in front of her, she didn't know what to say, she was in a hurry, and her eyes were red.

The young man looked at the woman in front of him with some amusement, obviously his eyes were full of cowardice, but his hand grabbed his sleeve tightly, for fear that he would run away. Somehow, the girl's appearance made his heart soften a little, and he bent down to face the girl face to face, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, say it, what's the matter." ”

The young man's gentle voice swept through Ning Xi's heart lake like a spring breeze, Ning Xi didn't feel as flustered as before, she pulled the corners of her mouth hard, and showed a smile: "Thank you." ”

Seeing the girl's slightly uneasy but beautiful smile, the boy unconsciously smiled.

The young man had already turned to leave, but Ning Xi's mind still had the smile he had just seen, and it turned out that his smile was so warm.

"Oh, my county lord, why did you get here?"

Hearing Mama Li's voice, Ning Xi came back to her senses, and saw Mama holding a cloak in her hand, her face flushed, obviously rushing over, and said apologetically: "I just ran into one." Ning Xi was stunned before she realized that she didn't even know the person's name. Seeing Mama Li staring at herself nervously, Ning Xi shook her head: "It's nothing, Mama, let's go quickly, it's not good if it's late." ”

It was a long time later that Ning Xi learned that the young man he met that day was named Shu Heng.

Suddenly, Ning Xi opened his eyes and sat up, only to find that the night was already deep, and Erui outside heard the voice and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Ning Xi patted his forehead with his hand and replied, "It's okay, I'll get up and drink a glass of water, you can sleep first." ”

When Ning Xi was about to get out of bed, Erui had already handed in a glass of water, Ning Xi took it and thanked her, and then urged Erui to go back to rest, and after Erui left, Ning Xi dared to show a melancholy look.

She didn't know why she dreamed of the things of her youth in the previous life, maybe she was frightened by what Shu Heng said today. At that time, she could indeed be said to have fled, because she was more afraid of her own mind than Shu Heng's words, she had to admit that when she heard Shu Heng's words, her heart beat violently, and she found that she still couldn't treat Shu Heng in this life, she was very scared, afraid that she would be tempted by Shu Heng again, but she knew better than anyone that Shu Heng was poisonous, and it would only hurt if she touched it.

Ning Xi held the teacup and secretly became distracted, Shu Heng, you obviously don't like me, why do you want to provoke me? How am I going to face you now?

And Ning Xi is not the only one who is destined to be sleepless tonight, and the study room of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, which is a few streets away from the British Mansion, is also uninterrupted.

Shu Heng sat in the study, staring at the picture scroll on the table, which showed a little girl wearing a red embroidered skirt and plucking peach blossoms from the branches.

He had painted this painting many years ago, and when he returned home, he always remembered the scene he had seen during the day, and painted it on a whim.

It's just that he didn't expect that the little girl back then would become the cinnabar mole in his heart.

When he received the news today, he didn't think about it, and he would replace Mengxian with himself, so that he would have enough reasons to come to the door to propose, but he was reluctant, reluctant to damage Ning Xi's reputation, reluctant to be criticized by others because of his selfishness, and most importantly, he was afraid that Ning Xi would blame him, he could not care about anyone's opinion, but he couldn't face Ning Xi's blaming eyes, he was even more afraid of doing this, he couldn't save Ning Xi's heart in this life.

He was a little anxious to say those words today, but as long as he thought that someone was actively playing with her before Ning Xi could finish it, his heart was furious, from the moment he opened his eyes, he never thought that Ning Xi would marry someone other than him, in his heart, Ning Xi was a person who belonged to him.

Thinking of this, Shu Heng suddenly reached out and gently stroked the scroll, and muttered: "Xiaoxi, in this life, I won't let you suffer any more harm, so don't run away again." After speaking, he suddenly showed a sly smile, "It's okay, even if you escape farther, I will find you back, in this life and this life, we are destined to be together." ”

The next day, Ning Xi unexpectedly got up with another panda eye, looking at the slightly haggard face in the bronze mirror, Ning Xi said to Ming Mei: "Give me some more haggard." ”

Ming Mei was stunned for a moment, and was a little puzzled: "What does Miss want to do." ”

Ning Xi raised his eyebrows and showed a playful smile: "This county is mainly complaining." ”

Although Ning Xi has no feelings for the Da Qin clan, he also respects her as an elder, but he doesn't want the Da Qin clan to calculate her upside down, although he guessed that the Da Qin clan was instigated by the Yu clan, but if the Da Qin clan didn't have any other thoughts about himself in his heart, he wouldn't be instigated by the Yu clan, since he had calculated her, then don't blame her for not being a filial granddaughter.
