Sunlight slipped in through the cracks in the carved windows, and playfully jumped onto the table and onto the bed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Ruqian stretched comfortably and opened her eyes. After rolling a few times on the soft bed, I finally came to my senses.

"Clouds." Xia Ruqian called lazily and motioned for the clouds to come in and wait for freshening.

Yun Duo came in happily and leaned over to greet Xia Ruqian: "Congratulations to the princess." ”

Congratulations?! I've been very unlucky lately! There are unwarranted disasters everywhere! Where's the congratulations?!

Xia Ruqian looked at the bandage on his right hand, touched his cheek, which was still slightly red, and asked, "Congratulations on what?" The aftermath of the catastrophe? ”

"Bah, what did the princess say! How unlucky! What Yun Duo said was, last night~~" Yun Duo squeezed his eyebrows.

"Last night?"

"Well, last night, the princess received the favor of the prince!" The clouds looked happy.

Grace?!

What grace?!

Yun Duo is afraid that he doesn't know how difficult his situation is, and he still thinks that he is like a fish in water!

Anyway, such a bad thing doesn't need one more person to worry about.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruqian remembered her own description last night, and her face was suddenly full of black lines, and she suddenly remembered last night's gaffe, which was really ashamed.

She beat her head with her hand and scolded in her heart: Xia Ruqian, you stupid! It's really enough, how can anyone cry until he collapses in the man's room who runs in the middle of the night?! Are you a pig's head?!

was secretly annoyed, and remembered that he hadn't said anything important yet, so he hurriedly asked Yunduo: "Where is the prince?" ”

"The prince has already gone to the court." Yun Duo brought the water over, and asked with bad intentions: "The princess misses the prince now?" ”

"Yunduo, I don't see enough to feed the horses in the stable, why don't you go and help for a few days?" Xia Ruqian's face straightened when he heard the words, played with his nails for a while, and then put the gap between his lips and blew it gently, as if he said casually.

"The princess has a bodhisattva-like heart, how can she be willing to send the clouds out, and the clouds are reluctant to give up the princess!" As soon as Yun Duo heard this, he immediately ran over, pinching his shoulders and beating his legs, until Xia Ruqian laughed out loud and stopped: "Princess, don't tease the clouds, the clouds are timid." ”

"Whoever told you to talk gibberish, be careful that I sold you." After Xia Ruqian finished dressing, she took a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Things haven't been going well lately, and it's very sad!

No, I'm going to go out for a walk and change my mood. Otherwise, if you continue like this, you will have to be depressed.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've been going to the 'Banquet Quartet', let's go, this princess will take you to open the meat."

Since she knew that someone was secretly spying on her, Xia Ruqian no longer secretly went to the 'banquet Quartet', she instructed the housekeeper and swaggered to her restaurant with clouds and bamboo incense.

Yan Xi saw her at a glance and hurriedly greeted her: "Sister Qianqian, you are here." ”

said and opened his hand and turned around: "Sister, look, Uncle Liu said, let me also serve the food, and send me monthly money!" ”

"Well, Yan Xi is awesome. What about your brother? Xia Ruqian touched Yan Xi's head and asked.

"There is a distinguished guest today, Uncle Liu asked my brother to serve inside, is my sister also here to eat? I'll take you to the third floor. Yan Xi said as she pulled Xia Ruqian inside.

Xia Ruqian followed Yan Xi up to the third floor, turned a corner, and was about to enter the door when he heard someone calling behind him.

"Shallow?"

The voice was soft and soft, and Xia Ruqian was almost sure if someone had really called him.

She turned slowly, and a man stood there. Dressed in a moon-white robe and an ancient sandalwood folding fan, he is gentle and elegant.

Elegant, calm, as if a character came out of an ancient poem.

Seeing that it was really Xia Ruqian, the corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled slowly.

That smile was like a ray of sunshine in the cold winter, melting the entire iceberg. He walked into Xia Ruqian and looked at her fixedly, his dark eyes were full of her, and at that moment Xia Ruqian was almost sure that he was in love with her.

"I'm back."

A gentle voice and a smile sounded in his ears, Xia Ruqian came to his senses, scratched his head embarrassedly, and just wanted to say something, but the man's laughter suddenly disappeared, lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, but he was a little bitter when he spoke again: "Perhaps, I should call you princess." ”

Xia Ruqian was a little nervous in her heart.

This damn memory? I don't have it at all!

Who is he? What is the relationship with me?

He just called me shallow, he should know me very well, right?

But what did he mean when he said he was back?

How should I answer him? What would you like to talk to him about?

Xia Ruqian was very anxious, but she didn't know what to say, so she just looked at him fixedly.

"Does Sister Qianqian know this brother? Let's go inside, this is the hallway. Yan Xi pushed open the door of the room as he spoke, pulled Xia Ruqian in, and when he sat down, Yan Xi secretly said in Xia Ruqian's ear: "This is the distinguished guest that my brother is serving." ”

Yun Duo skillfully brewed the tea, brought it to the two of them, and quickly retreated.

The hot smoke curls, rising and rising, and the fragrance of tea also comes out.

Embarrassed to come in at an inopportune time, and refused to leave.

The man opposite, as if caught in some kind of memory, clinged to the teacup, staring at a corner of the table, and did not move for a long time.

Xia Ruqian didn't know how to speak, holding the fragrant tea and tasting it carefully, but she couldn't drink anything.

After another moment, Xia Ruqian broke the silence.

"I...

"I" said, but there was no follow-up.

The man seemed to have been electrocuted, and quickly raised his head to look at her: "You don't have to explain, I also know that the Son of Heaven has a golden mouth, how can you and I be able to compete, but, shallow, are you willing?!" Are you going to accept your fate?! ”

Although he didn't know what this person meant, Xia Ruqian was still shocked by the last two sentences.

The feeling of struggle that she can't do but yearns for, she doesn't know.

The kind of frustration that is a foregone conclusion but unwilling to be unwilling, she doesn't know it.

Xia Ruqian remembered that she came here inexplicably, and was inexplicably involved in this dispute, not that she didn't want to struggle, didn't want to resist, but she knew too well that this was not a place where she could do anything at will, in this place where there was no fairness to talk about and power was supreme, she could only bow her head, break her wings, and be at peace with what she encountered.

Xia Ruqian tried hard to restrain herself from crying, she raised her eyes, and looked back straight without avoiding it: "I just want to live." ”

The man seemed to have been hit hard, first staring at Xia Ruqian with wide eyes and incredulity, and then lowering his head as if he had lost.

"Alive, alive." He stood up and walked unhurriedly to the door, and before pushing the door out, he left a sentence: "But I'd rather die." ”
