Suichiku-in

Today is the third day that Xia Chan has come to Wenfu, and in these three days, she has only seen Wen Zhongnan once on the first day. She hasn't seen him since. I only found out after listening to the discussion of the little people in the house today. The reason why he didn't show up in the house for the past two days. It was because he accompanied the queen mother to Qiu Ming Mountain.

Qiu Ming Mountain is a famous mountain near the capital city. It is rumored that the master of the sky on the hill is proficient in astronomical hexagrams. After the eldest prince was canonized as the crown prince by the emperor. The prince's wedding was put on the agenda. It took the queen and the emperor nearly a month to choose a satisfactory marriage for the prince.

Zhao Lianxin, the princess of the protector of the country. The Queen's niece. It is the crown princess that the prince is about to marry.

This marriage can be described as a good match. A match made in heaven. The queen was overjoyed. The body that has not healed for many years has also been getting better in recent days. The prince's marriage has been decided. The next step is to choose an auspicious day for the wedding.

The queen mother had a relationship with Master Kong in the early years, and a few days ago I heard the Duchess of the Protector talk about Master Kong. I had the idea of going to Qiu Ming Mountain.

Xia Cicada held a broom, but her heart was mixed. It's time to wait for this day. In the past, she always felt that even if that day came, she should only be a little sad. In the end, I will accept it. But today she found out that her original oath was true. Now it seems like it's just a joke.

However, the matter has come to this day, and I regret it and say that I am reluctant. What's the point.

Chaeyoung walked over with a broom from the other side and saw that Xia Chan was still in the same position she had just left. There is no shortage of leaves around me. A look of doubt flashed across his face. Then he walked briskly forward.

"Erya, what's wrong with you. Is it sick. ”

Xia Chan retracted her thoughts and shook her head with a wry smile. "No, I'm fine. It was the sand that blew into my eyes. It's much better now. Is your place cleaned? Then you can go back to breakfast first. I'll get it done quickly. ”

After Xia Cicada finished speaking, he walked forward quickly with a broom, and then began to sweep the floor in style. The crown prince got married this time. In addition to the concubine who has already been decided. There will also be two candidates for side concubines. On the same day as the concubine, he stayed in the prince's mansion.

He was finally one man above ten thousand people. He still remembers her. I still remember the beginning. In the face of the painful heartache again and again, the forgetting of the good has not weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, it is becoming clearer and clearer.

After the morning cleaning, there is not much work in the afternoon. Caiying ran over with an embroidered handkerchief to teach Xia Cicada embroidery. Xia Chan looked absent-minded. I was not good at learning art, but now I still have a worried face. Within a few stitches, he was pricked several times on his hand. The tiny eye of the needle is barely visible to the naked eye, but the pain is clear to the bone marrow.

"Erya. What's wrong with you today. It feels like you're on your mind. Are you homesick? Actually, the year I was sold, I also missed my dad. But as I grew up, I gradually understood that they had left us. But their love for us never changes. Therefore, for their sake, we must also live happily every day. You say yes or no. ”

Xia Chan turned her head and smiled at Chaeyoung. Remembering Xia Tian. Remembering Lan's. The sadness in my heart slowly weakened a little.

"You're right. Nothing is as important as being alive. You can rest assured. I won't be sad anymore. I've figured it out, and now that I've let it pass. Then I won't bother with it anymore. And in the future, I like to be a little happier. Be a little less sad. ”

"Definitely. Erya, you are so smart. Will definitely solve all problems. ”

"I think so too."

Another day passed, Wen Zhongnan still didn't come back today, and Xia Chan returned to his room after a day's work. Pound your sore shoulder. Walked over to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. After a few sips, I plan to clean up my bed and take a hot shower. You can sleep peacefully at night.

As soon as Xia Cicada stood up, there was a sudden sound of shallow footsteps on the beam. Xia Chan raised his head and a hint of nervousness flashed on his face, and then quickly took out the dagger between his cuffs. Quickly ducked into the corner of the wall, staring straight at the beams.

"I haven't seen you in a few days. The reflexes are a lot sharper. It seems that you will be able to take care of yourself without my protection in the future. ”

The familiar voice came to mind in the room, and Xia Chan looked at Murong Ye who was close at hand with a surprised expression. I have mixed feelings. Surprised, surprised. It's more of a sense of intimacy in finding a loved one. After a day of suppressed love, this will finally find someone to confide in. Xia Chan was just about to speak. I suddenly remembered the assassination that day. The joy in his eyes slowly faded, and then he was replaced by a touch of alienation.

"Why are you here?"

A flash of disappointment flashed on Murong Ye's face, and he slowly walked to the table and sat down. glanced up at Xia Cicada.

"How's it going? Wen Zhongnan has not been in the house for the past few days. There is no one to bully you. And also. Are you used to living here? ”

A few questions in a row. Xia Cicada didn't know which question to start answering. But this Murong Ye is the Murong Ye he is familiar with. Sometimes proud and cynical, sometimes shrewd and introverted, his life was supposed to be like this. Now is the life he should live. Without her involvement. He'll be better.

Xia Chan raised her head, and a wry smile flashed on her face. Then he walked over to the table and sat down again.

"You didn't come here today to catch up with me. Say, I'm ready. ”

If Murong Ye was unwilling to let her stay in the Wen family, then with Murong Ye's temperament, he would show up and take her away when she stayed in the Wen family on the first night. But he didn't. Now a few days have passed. He appeared in Wenfu in such a way at this time. It should be to hide people's eyes. In that case, there must be something to say to her.

Maybe it would be the old thing she already knew.

"Do you know where Wen Zhongnan has been these days? Have you been to other courtyards in addition to this courtyard in the past few days? Erya, I didn't have anything else to do today. Just wanted to remind you. The purpose of your visit to Beijing this time. The reason why I didn't refuse you to enter the Wen house in the first place. It's about knowing what's going on in your heart. But Erya, I have to warn you. Wen Zhongnan was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface. Don't trust him. ”

Xia Chan's eyes widened with a look of surprise. But it was only for a moment, and then the calm just now was restored. He looked up and nodded at Murong Ye.

"Don't worry. I know exactly what I'm doing. But. Thank you very much for today's reminder. Otherwise...... maybe she'll start believing him. How terrible, every time it was when she wanted to let go of all her defenses and trust someone. Suddenly, a voice would jump out and tell her that the person could not be trusted.

And the truth is sometimes exactly the same as the truth. Hurt others and hurt yourself. Actually, don't think that anyone can quit halfway. Don't think anyone is invulnerable. That's all appearances. Who can see the holes hidden in his heart.

Murong Ye saw the loss and disappointment in Xia Chan's eyes clearly. Hearing that Zhongnan did everything in Qingyang County, Murong Ye knew it. Including the incident in Qinglou a few days ago. He understood the loss and struggle in Xia Chan's eyes. But now the times are turbulent. Everyone can't help themselves.

"Erya, don't be too sad...... Murong Ye wanted to comfort Xia Chan. As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Xia Chan. Xia Cicada casually fiddled with the teacup in her hand. A sneer with a nonchalant sneer

"Murong Ye. You can rest assured. As early as when he first appeared in Qingyang County, Zhao Qi told me. His purpose. So, I'm pretty clear about what I'm doing now. It's just that he was betrayed by his trusted friend again. If I say I'm not sad at all. That must be a lie. It's not a big deal, though. Believe when I want to. Doubt when I should be skeptical. Very good. ”

"If only you could figure it out. Also, be careful to smell Zhong Yuan. ”

Wen Zhongyuan. Wen Zhongnan's eldest brother. The eldest son and grandson of Wenfu. On the first day she first entered Wen's house, Wen Zhongnan told her about Wen Zhongyuan. He was reminded of the same thing. But a few days passed, and Xia Cicada occasionally went to the front yard. I have never met this rumored young master.

"I heard that Wen Zhongyuan is insidious and cunning in addition to his name. Best at conspiracy theories. Is this true? "Aren't the gentlemen in the TV series all unlearned? How come it is in real life, all of them have unique skills, which should not be underestimated.

Murong Ye frowned slightly, and then nodded at Xia Chan. "Wen Zhongyuan is a different one. Extremely fickle. If you can not provoke him in Wenfu in the future, don't provoke him. Actually, it's not that he can't afford to provoke. Rather, it's because he's a nuisance. Although he understands conspiracy theories, he is not a man who knows people well. There was no one around him who was so talented. His biggest backer is the Three Princes. If you offend him, you are equivalent to offending the three princes. This is also the real reason why everyone does not dare to touch him lightly. ”

I see. The corners of Xia Cicada's eyebrows frowned slightly. Then a question suddenly came to mind. He asked suddenly

"Murong Ye, where has Wen Zhongnan been in the past few days. I don't believe the rumors out there. I don't think he really followed the queen to Qiu Ming Mountain. ”

Murong Ye glanced up at Xia Chan suddenly, and a strange look flashed on his face. "How did you guess?"

When Xia Chan heard Murong Ye say this, she knew that her guess was true. In fact, when she first heard everyone's discussions, Xia Chan really thought that Wen Zhongnan had indeed followed the queen mother to Qiu Ming Mountain. But just now, when Murong Ye reminded her to be careful when she heard Zhong Nan, the unresolved mess in her heart finally found the answer.

The last time Wen Zhongnan appeared in front of him that day, he was wearing a white robe. It's the clothes he usually wears when he goes out to meet guests. At that time, Wen Zhongnan told him that he was going to leave for a few days. Later, after Wen Zhongnan left her, he went directly out of Wenfu. I didn't go back to change my clothes in between.

And the royal incense is a solemn and solemn thing, which requires the princes and ministers to pay homage to it. On that alone, she didn't feel justified.

In fact, at that time, she also thought about whether it would be Wen Zhongnan who changed her clothes afterwards. That's what happened. But today, when Caiying held Wen Zhongnan's cleaned court clothes and put them in the wardrobe. Xia Chan's last reason is gone.

It's just that since Wen Zhongnan didn't go to the queen to worship incense, why did he sue everyone like this. He also let people deliberately spread such rumors among his subordinates.

"At noon today, I saw Wen Zhongnan's court clothes in his room. In addition, I found that the few sets of clothes that Wen Zhongnan usually wore were missing. So make a bold guess. ”

"You woman, how can you turn a man's clothes so casually."

"Murong Ye, what are you crazy about. Don't forget, I'm now a maid in Wenfu, and that's what a maid does. If you don't let me turn it, how can I be a maid? ”

"You're just a strong word. Young Master Ben is not without maids. Why don't you know that the maid is used to turn over the master's clothes. Also, don't turn over his clothes in the future. If you want to turn over the book, the young master has clothes for you to flip. ”

"Murong Ye, what are you crazy about. I've said it's a job, a job. I'm fine, what are you doing with your clothes," Xia Chan was a little troubled by Murong Ye's sudden nervousness. Put down the teacup in your hand, get up and run to the window. Ignore him no more.

This stinky man, did he come here at night just to anger her? I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all. Hmph, she won't pay attention to him again.

"Erya, there is one more thing, you should also know. Ten days later, the crown prince will marry the eldest daughter of the protector of the country, Lord Lianxin. At the same time, he will marry two more side concubines. Enter the Prince's Mansion with the Crown Princess. ”

What should have come is still coming. The corners of Xia Cicada's mouth raised a wry smile. He looked back at Murong Ye.

"I see. Say congratulations to him for me. I won't go the day I get married. Bless them for me. ”

"You're sure it's a blessing. Not a curse. Murong Ye looked incredulous. When did this woman become so pot-bellied.

Xia Chan raised her head and glared at Murong Ye with a displeased expression. "When did I become so vicious. Besides, it is a happy event for him to get married. I should bless him. ”

"But......" Murong Ye still wanted to say something. Xia Chan didn't want to hear it anymore. Turn around and walk back to the table. Glancing down at the teacup on the table. The corners of his mouth slowly raised a sneer.

Is this the feeling that people take tea cool? Obviously sad to die, but he still has to pretend to be generous and pretend not to care. However, Murong Ye seems to be right. Does she have to think about whether she should grab a kiss or something when that day comes? It should be good too.

"Erya, if you really can't bear him, go find him to make it clear. If he really gets married, I'm afraid the two of you really won't have a chance. ”

Xia Chan raised his head and smiled at Murong Ye, but his eyes drifted into the distance. "There is no longer a chance, the day he becomes the Grand Prince. On the day I forced him to leave. On the day he now becomes the crown prince. We're already getting farther and farther away. What's more, he still hates me now. We can't go back to the way we were. (To be continued.) )
