3. Those eyes
Seeing that he was leaving, Mei Pan hurriedly shouted, "His Royal Highness! β
Yuan Ziqing turned around and looked at him with a faint expression, "What's the matter, is there anything else?" β
The eyebrows were stunned. In fact, she just saw that Yuan Ziqing was leaving, and subconsciously opened her mouth, but she really didn't have anything to say.
But she couldn't say that, so she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The road in the palace is complicated, and I don't know how to walk back." β
Yuan Ziqing's gaze stopped on her, and she didn't know if she believed it. He thought for a moment and said, "My name is ...... No, I'm just going out for a walk, so I'll drop you off. β
He pursed his lips at the edge of his eyebrows, trying to suppress the joy in his heart, not letting him find out, and nodded heavily, "His Royal Highness Lao Shizi." β
"Let's go." Yuan Ziqing glanced at her, turned around and walked in front, and hurriedly followed with her skirt on her eyebrows.
Sure enough, he has the softest heart, and when someone asks for help, he is always willing to help. In the previous life, he didn't send Meiban back to the banquet place, but later when Meibian came to Fuwang's Mansion again, he broke his foot again, and happened to meet him, it was he who helped, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself. That's when Meibian began to pay attention to him. And the more I cared, the more I felt distressed about what happened to him, and gradually put my mind at ease.
She walked behind Yuan Ziqing, thought about it, and introduced herself, "My surname is Guan, and my name is Guan Meipan." β
Yuan Ziqing let out an "um" and silently recited the name in his heart before asking, "Guan...... Who are you? β
"That's my second uncle." He said in his heart, although he lived in seclusion due to illness, he knew a lot about the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he could immediately think of the official position of the second uncle, which was really rare. Such a person, if it is not a physical drag, I don't know what kind of achievements will he have?
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel angry for him.
She later inquired that his body was not born so sick and weak, but because he was assassinated by the enemy and poisoned in the battle for succession when he was a child. And that poisonous snack, he ate on behalf of the current saints...... King Fu's Mansion has today's scenery, of course, because King Fu and the emperor have a deep brotherhood, but it is not without the intention of compensating him.
But what about the scenery? In the end, he could only live in the bamboo forest in the corner of the garden, isolated from the world, accompanied by poetry and books. How lonely those days must be.
However, Mei Pan secretly encouraged himself in his heart, now that he has himself, he will not let him be so lonely again, from now on, everything he has encountered will be shared with him, and no one will leave.
Thinking like this, his face finally felt a little relieved.
At this time, I heard Yuan Ziqing ask, "So, Ling Zun is Guan Mianwen, the governor of Xijing?" I heard that he won the Tanhua in the big competition that year, became famous in Beijing, and married the daughter of the Marquis of Ganyang as his wife, I don't know how many young talents in Beijing I envy. β
"Yes." On the side of his eyebrows, he might as well mention this matter, his expression was complicated for a while, and he replied lightly, "Father and mother have always had a deep love for flounder. β
Her voice was a little unsteady, Yuan Ziqing turned her head sensitively to look at her, and asked, "I don't know if the boss is good?" β
Eyebrows finally couldn't help it, tried to lower his head, and his voice was a little choked, "My father and mother have passed away, I ...... I am now living in my second uncle's house. β
She raised her eyes and glanced at Yuan Ziqing, her eyes already filled with water. Meibian was not such a weak character, but when Yuan Ziqing asked about it, she couldn't help but feel layer after layer of grievances in her heart, so that she couldn't hide it at all.
Yuan Ziqing only felt as if he had been hit by something in his heart, he stopped, stood in front of his eyebrows at a loss, wanted to comfort but didn't know how to speak, and finally could only sigh.
Those eyes, those beautiful eyes, should be smiling all the time, not so miserable.
But he couldn't force a girl who had lost her parents not to cry. Yuan Ziqing has always felt that his life has been bitter enough, and he has suffered unjustified disasters for no reason, so that he is riddled with diseases, he can't do anything, and he has to worry about his parents and relatives. But when I heard the words on my eyebrows at this moment, I realized that there were people in this world who were more pitiful than myself.
No matter what, his parents and family are there, and he shush himself for warmth, for fear of any negligence. She is a teenage girl, who has lost her parents and lives in a relative's house, I don't know what kind of situation she is in?
At this time, Yuan Ziqing realized that the outfit on his eyebrows was too plain. Although she is very suitable for herself, who among young girls does not like brightness? It can be seen that she must also have many hardships.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that my relationship with her seemed to be a lot closer. At least, they're all pathetic. Thinking like this, he said, "Your father and mother are in heaven, and they must also wish you well." β
He didn't really want to cry on his eyebrows, he had already taken back his tears at this time, and when he heard Yuan Ziqing's words, he raised his head and smiled, "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is very true. β
Yuan Ziqing felt at a loss when she was crying just now, but when she smiled, he suddenly felt distressed.
He didn't know if she would show such a vulnerable appearance to others, but seeing her smile forcefully made his heart extremely uncomfortable. If he could, he would rather hug her into his arms, and tell her that he would feel sorry for her.
But he couldn't.
He could only clench his fists hard, pretending not to care, "Let's go." β
When he was about to walk to the water pavilion, he finally recovered his eyebrows, and thanked Yuan Ziqing with a smile. Yuan Ziqing waved his hand, since he had come here, he planned to meet Princess Fu and say hello to her old man.
He usually stayed at home, so when Princess Fu heard that she was coming, she was overjoyed, and immediately left the guests in the flower hall and turned back to the inner room.
"Why did Qing'er come out today, is she okay?" Seeing Yuan Ziqing, she hurriedly asked.
Yuanzi Qingdao said, "It's all good." Lao Niang's personal memory. I had nothing to do today, so I wanted to come out for a walk, and when I got to the front, I saw that it was very lively, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so I came to ask my mother to say goodbye, and went back. β
"Did you come from the garden and see the girls?" Princess Fu listened to his words and suddenly asked.
A pair of smiling eyes flashed in Yuan Ziqing's mind, and he shook his head slightly, "No." When the son saw that they were all in the water pavilion, he made a detour. β
Princess Fu said sarcastically, "Why don't you go over and take a look?" Today's people are all famous ladies in Beijing, all of whom are talented and beautiful. β
Yuan Ziqing said with a smile, "Mother's words are bad. The son heard that his mother plans to show his younger brother how many of these ladies are there? If this is the case, how can the son be abrupt at will? β
Princess Fu frowned, "You can't say that. In fact, my mother also wanted to pick two people to put next to you, but I was afraid that you didn't like it in my heart, so I didn't mention it. If you fancy it yourself, just sue sΓΉ mother, no matter which lady it is, your mother will ask for it for you! β
Hearing this, Yuan Ziqing was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that he would have his own business. However, he knew his body, and the joy in his heart had just risen, and it was suppressed by the continuous bitterness. Yuan Ziqing only felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something, his eyes were black for a while, his body was weak, and he leaned on the back of the chair.
Princess Fu was startled when she saw that his face suddenly turned pale, obviously a sign of illness, and hurriedly rushed over and hugged him, "My son, what's wrong?" Come on, come on! Go and ask the Imperial Doctor! β
"Mother......" Yuan Ziqing just didn't ease up for a while, and soon opened his eyes, and when he heard Princess Fu's words, he hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Don't ask the imperial doctor ......"
It's easy to say anything, and finally let Princess Fu agree not to invite the imperial doctor, and after a good life, she didn't dare to say anything like marrying a wife, so she sent him back.
Back in his Qingzhu courtyard, Yuan Ziqing did not rest, and went directly into the study, not even letting Qingyun serve beside him.
The courtyard was a little too quiet, and only the rustle of the wind could be heard as it blew through the bamboo forest. Yuan Ziqing stared at the bookshelves on the wall for a while, and raised his voice to call Qingyun, "Didn't the former mother say that she sent some flowers?" Let people put it in the yard...... That's it, no need. Go down. β
Although Qingyun felt that it was a little strange for his family to come back from a trip, he didn't dare to ask more, so he agreed to retreat.
Yuan Ziqing sighed softly, he really couldn't read the book, so he simply spread out the paper and picked up the pen to make a painting.
The ghost made the god worse, and the smiling eyes appeared in his mind again, and Yuan Ziqing's movements were paused, and then the pen fell. When he finished a painting, he put down his pen and realized that he had drawn a woman in a long skirt, with her hair in a half-bun and a delicate silver comb inserted. The cheeks are plump and the eyebrows are smiling.
Yuan Ziqing stared at those eyes, looked at them for a long time, and then slowly closed his eyes, reached out and copied the piece of paper in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and at the same time pressed the sourness on the tip of his nose hard.
He was tempted. Moved by a woman who met for the first time, and moved by a woman who might become his brother's wife......
Yuan Ziqing grabbed the arm of the chair tightly with one hand, and pinched the crumpled ball of paper with the other, and it took a long time to gently let go of his hand and let it fall to the ground.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a calm in his eyes.
And the smiling eyes in my mind finally gradually blurred until they disappeared.
So be it. There should be no involvement between them.
