"Ah Xiu."

Xie Fu called out at the entrance.

Yesterday, I knew that Xie Fu would come back to visit today, so Ge Xiu had already made preparations and arranged everything properly, and when she saw Xie Fu coming in, she hurriedly got up from her seat, came up and grabbed Xie Fu's arm, and smiled.

"You're here, this night is like waiting for a lifetime."

Even if he pounced on the good pearl powder, the slight red marks on the eye circles could not be hidden, Xie Fu could see at a glance that Ge Xiu must not have had a good time last night.

She snuggled up to Ge Xiu and followed her into the house.

Ge Xiu turned around and said to Steward Chen, who was waiting outside: "Steward Chen has worked hard, and there is still a shortage of people to serve my father, so please go back as soon as possible." ”

Steward Chen, who had a goatee, hurriedly bowed down and glanced at Ge Xiu hesitantly, obviously still a little unable to put his mind at ease.

But after thinking about it carefully, he finally said: "That young lady has something to remember to call the old slave." ”

Ge Xiu nodded and watched Steward Chen leave.

In Ge's mansion, everyone knows that Ge Xiu is Ge Shouli's pearl, but when she was young, she was often accompanied by this Chen housekeeper, in a sense, this is a character who is more intimate than her father.

Ge Xiu saw that Steward Chen was gone, and the original decent smile on his face collapsed suddenly.

She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, walked back, sat opposite Xie Fu, and the whole person was stunned: "Fu'er, do you say this is retribution?" ”

"Ah Xiu, don't you know what's going on?"

Xie Fu wrinkled his eyebrows, looking at Ge Xiu's appearance, it didn't look like he was willing at all.

She was a little worried about her, otherwise she wouldn't have come today.

What I'm most afraid of is that this kind of heart is depressed, and what I get is different from what I want, God knows what the outcome will be in the future?

Ge Xiu didn't even have the strength to laugh, and the blush couldn't hide the paleness that came out of his bones.

There was a kind of haste and helplessness in her eyes, like a clumsy child who made a mistake and couldn't do anything right.

There was a cry in his voice, and he trembled.

"How do I know what's going on? Originally, when I went back to the house, I thought that all the qiē was over, but I thought that the palace would come and make me a beauty. Fu'er, this is not what I want......"

Beauty......

Under the concubine position, there are concubines, Jieyu, and Zhaoyi.

When she first entered the palace, she was just a small beauty.

It stands to reason that many people enter the palace every year, and the daughter of a court member is only named a "beauty".

In the whole capital, there are only those who are afraid to watch jokes, and there are those who sigh.

At the palace banquet, many people went to the prince, but who would have thought that Ge Xiu would be unlucky to be picked by the emperor?

I'm afraid that after this time, no one will dare to yearn for the palace lightly.

Come to think of it, is this a dismount?

The one who did this was the queen.

This dynasty has always been taboo about the affairs of foreign relatives, most of the concubines in the palace are from ordinary good families, and now it has been many years since the founding of the country......

Thinking about it from a different place, if Xie Fu is the queen, he is not very happy, right?

These are all speculations, though.

In the face of such a frightened Ge Xiu, Xie Fu couldn't say these words, for Ge Xiu, these were too cruel.

The words of comfort also seem weak.

She could only hold down Ge Xiu's hand hard, and said over and over again, "It's going to be fine." ”

Ge Xiu blinked, and his eyes were empty.

She turned her head slowly, and Xie Fu's figure was reflected in her dark eyes, and she looked at it with such a fixed gaze, repeatedly seeing something through Xie Fu.

"Fu'er, have you heard......"

"What?"

“…… I heard that I entered the palace because of the palace flower I chose. You say, is it because of the one I picked myself, or the one you gave me? ”

Ge Xiu looked at Xie Fu, his voice almost ethereal.

At that moment, Xie Fu felt a chill in his body for no reason.

It was like the cold air in the deep winter in the capital, and the wind carried snowflakes and hit her heart, suffocating and cold.

The hand that pressed on the back of Ge Xiu's hand didn't feel the slightest temperature, just like touching a piece of ice.

But in a blink of an eye, Xie Fu felt that he was touching a piece of coal.

Slowly, she withdrew her palm, without the slightest trembling.

Perhaps, if the heart trembles to the extreme, the appearance will be unusually calm, right?

After being silent for a long time, Xie Fu glanced at Ge Xiu deeply.

Then, she got up, didn't say a word, walked straight out the door, and didn't look back.

Ge Xiu sat on the embroidery pier, his shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he laughed mockingly.

No one knew what she was laughing at, and no one knew why Xie Fu had left again not long after she had come to sit.

The capital is still lively.

Xie Fu came out, stood at the mouth of the alley, looked back at the high door of Gefu, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

She blinked, stopped looking, and turned to see the full moon with a worried face.

From beginning to end, Full Moon didn't speak, only clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Xie Fu took the full moon's hand and said, "Let's go and pick up the star tower." ”

The capital is prosperous, but the chessboard street has not yet reached the time of excitement.

In the palace, it is also solemn.

At the gate of Yuqing Palace, Li Jingxiu, who was dressed in a navy blue robe, ran over panting, his eyes were bright, and when he came in, he bumped into Feng Bao, who was standing outside watching the weather.

"Yo, Li Gongzi, you can't catch your breath, but what's the happy thing?"

Li Jingxiu hurriedly stopped, stood at the foot of the steps and bowed his hand to Feng Bao, and said with a smile: "It's not a happy event, it's just that there is a lot of excitement in Beijing, and I have to tell the prince to go immediately." ”

"The prince is waiting for you inside."

Feng Bao's eyes flashed, and he stepped out of the way with a smile.

Li Jingxiu hurriedly thanked him and hurriedly entered.

Zhu Yijun sat behind the bookcase, a book spread out in front of him, a pen on his right hand, and a book stacked high on his left hand side, on which was a dagger from Tartar that he once carried with him.

The silver sheath of the dagger is spotless, and the light from the window shines through, shining on the various colored gemstones, which has a strange magnificence.

Li Jingxiu's gaze only stayed on the dagger for a moment, and then moved out, not noticing what it meant for the dagger to return to Zhu Yijun's side.

He saluted: "The minister greets the prince!" ”

Hearing this rising voice, Zhu Yijun raised his head, raised his eyebrows, the smile on his lips was not shallow, and said: "Originally, I wanted to discuss yesterday's homework with you, but when I saw you so excited, I became curious, what happened outside?" ”

"It's a big deal!"

Li Jingxiu hurriedly approached Zhu Yijun: "Do you remember the Fayuan Temple Lantern Festival not long ago?" ”

For Zhu Yijun, the lantern festival of Fayuan Temple has extraordinary significance.

He remained silent, straightened the cuffs turned out, turned the obscure dragon pattern back inside, and asked lightly: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"Since you remember, you must also remember that riddle." Li Jingxiu didn't sell it either, "I heard that the couplet was made by Miss Xie Er, but no one has been able to solve it." At that time, it had been spreading wildly in the capital for a while, and it had only stopped recently. Unexpectedly, I heard that a master came to Fayuan Temple this morning, and he actually directly faced this couplet. ”

"Oh?"

This is quite unusual.

Zhu Yijun became interested: "What's right?" ”

"Oolong on the wall, wearing 10,000 points of gold." Li Jingxiu remembers clearly, "But it doesn't matter. ”

"Yes, it's a rare absolute ......," Zhu Yijun pondered, "Is there another celebrity in Beijing?" ”

"Whew, what's what? He was a big celebrity! ”

Li Jingxiu shook his head and sighed, "Guess who?" When I heard about it, I was shocked, it turned out to be Mr. Xu, who had been out for a long time, and that Mr. Zhang Lizhu, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang! ”

“……”

For a long time, Zhu Yijun didn't speak.

He stood up and paced.

Zhang Lizhu's husband doesn't have anything interesting, the important thing is the relationship between Xie Fu and Zhang Lizhu, will there be any change because of this?

But none of this has anything to do with him.

Li Jingxiu was puzzled again: "Prince, why don't you speak?" ”

"It's just a lantern riddle, what's there to be surprised about?" Zhu Yijun turned his head, looked at him and smiled, "You can tell me this news like a treasure, it seems that you don't know anything about it." ”

"What?"

Li Jingxiu was confused.

Zhu Yijun squinted, put his hands behind his back, and gently stroked the tiger's mouth of his right hand with the thumb of his left hand, with a kind of gratuitous leisure.

"I heard from Otomo that after this morning's morning, Lord Motosuke once spoke to Master Li alone, as if asking if you are already married......"

“…… Ahem, ahem! ”

At that moment, Li Jingxiu was almost frightened by the news and fell to the ground, and somehow coughed suddenly, looking horrified.
