"Tsk, it's so ugly!"

"Humph!"

When he clearly revealed to Xia Taishi that he wanted to marry Xia Meng as his wife, Xia Taishi took him to the study in the backyard.

He stood outside the window and saw for the first time what the third brother was like when he got along with her.

The third brother is different from the previous gentle appearance or defensive heart, he stood next to Xia Meng and watched her paint, saying disgust, but his eyes were full of joy. That's the naked/naked joy of the heart.

Xia Meng didn't get angry when she heard him laugh at herself, but just threw a pen to him: "Can you draw one for me!" ”

The third brother turned his pen and said that he was still unforgiving: "What, if you want the master to paint you a picture, just say it, and beat around the bush!" ”

Xia Meng laughed, put the pen in his hand aside, sat directly on the chair, reached out and picked up the pastries on the table and sent them to his mouth: "Hmph, then I won't draw anymore, you asked me to paint today, I guess you want Miss Ben to write!" He squinted at him, his eyes full of ridicule and pride.

Whatever they say, it will not enter his ears.

Just looking at it like that, he felt isolated from them.

For example, he has never seen such a third brother and such a her.

He didn't know why, but he knew it must be something he didn't like.

He left in silence, not taking the initiative to talk to them for the first time, and he felt he needed to be quiet.

Sometimes he also thinks, what is the difference between Xia Meng and others, in addition to her identity and appearance, maybe her outstanding personality is not unique.

Since it is not unique, then it can be similar.

However, he had seen the daughters of the emperor's capital, not without a frank personality or a stunning appearance, and even they would be shy and moved by his words, surprised, or afraid. But it's not her, it's not the girl who kicked her shoes to his chest and asked him to pick them up when the sun was shining in the spring, when the peach petals were flying all over the sky.

He threw his heart on the girl who was as bright as the morning sun in that flowering season, and spent five years irrigating it to let it grow until he could not give it up.

He really didn't want to make the third brother sad, and he really didn't want her to be embarrassed.

However, no matter how indifferent he is, he will still be sad.

In the years that followed, he no longer took the initiative to approach the girl, no longer went to see what she did every day, and no longer wanted to give it to her every time he saw something beautiful. He thought that life might be destined to leave regrets. Heaven gave him a quarter of an hour of amazement, five years of missing, and the rest of the time to cherish this memory.

Time is the most gentle, and it is precisely the most ruthless, it polishes everyone differently than before.

He put more attention on government affairs, and when the ministers of the court mentioned him, they all praised him for having the demeanor of his father, his father valued him, and his mother cared about him, and the second brother gave up the idea of competing for the throne after so many years, and the fourth brother grew up to be tall and devoted himself to the army.

He heard that the third brother had a close relationship with the eldest lady of the Xia family, and it was rumored that the two would definitely get married.

Even he felt the same way.

He himself didn't understand what he was doing, when his father appreciated Xia Meng, she put all the credit on the third brother, she let the third brother walk in front of his father, but when the third brother showed his demeanor, he was thinking, will the third brother be good to her? Didn't he approach her to take advantage?

He thinks that Xia Meng is so stupid, how can she be such a smart girl who can't understand anything?

Later, I felt that maybe it was himself who was stupid, because he had been letting it develop and hadn't even done anything.

When the queen mother was furious because of this, he remained indifferent.

He watched the always dignified queen mother smash the cup on the ground, pointing at him and scolding his unfilial son, and felt very tired.

"Smack!"

The queen gave him a heavy slap in the face and reprimanded him: "You are so incompetent! Are you just watching Nan Linglang's evil seed climb on your head and make a fortune! Do you know what's being said out there right now? said that the third prince has been suppressed by his son-in-law and mother-in-law, so he will hide it until now! The image of the prince you have accumulated for so many years is so ruined! He's the white-eyed wolf you've cultivated with your own hands! ”

He just kept repeating the phrase: "I believe in him." ”

Yes, he always believed that the third brother who would purse his lips and smile at him when he was young, and would pull his sleeve and whisper to him as his eldest brother, was a brother who treated him sincerely.

He has been silent, silently watching his father praise Xia Meng for his demeanor and blessings, watching Xia Meng push his third brother up again and again, and watching his once friendly brothers meet but take a detour.

He thought that his heart was numb, but when his father decreed the marriage of his third brother, he broke the work.

"The eldest daughter of the Hou Yan of Henan is unparalleled in virtue and virtue, both virtue and art, and she is specially married to my third son......"

He looked at the third brother who responded to the ministers with a smile on his face in a daze, and felt strange and terrible for the first time.

He thought that at least the third brother was sincere to Xia Meng.

But he did this to the woman who had been helping him, he was going to take a wife, but it was not her. So, how sad must she be......

However, there is still such a despicable joy in his heart, does this mean that he can marry her?

Under the teasing of his father, he went to the Taishi's Mansion to see her in person with the holy decree of marriage.

The spring was just right, the huge courtyard was full of pink peach blossoms, and she stood under the tree, the fluttering petals falling on her shoulders, and her beautiful face was almost drowned in his memories.

"Brother Prince, Tianmeng can't respond to you."

"The third brother has lost me, and I would rather never marry."

"Brother Prince, you deserve someone better, I don't deserve to be with you."

He is such a free and indifferent person, and his heart is hurting for the first time: "It's okay, it's okay......" He was unwilling to be rejected like this, but he couldn't bear to see her frowning in embarrassment.

Her eyes were full of tears, and she asked him sadly: "Brother Prince, if you had been attracted to me at the beginning, we would not have ended up like this......"

He listened to her in a daze, and she had also been pleased with herself, on that bright spring afternoon.

It's just that after a long time, seeing that he will always be so gentle, I feel that I am not special, and gradually give up.

He wanted to catch her and tell her that he liked her from the beginning to the present, he wanted to say that his heart was the same as always, and he wanted to tell her all the affection he had had for five years.

But he understood that these words no longer made sense.

A wise woman like her, when she said these words, it meant that she had let go.

It turned out that before he knew it, the woman he loved had given up on him.

I feel sorry for the prince!
