Since he knew that Xiyan had come back, Yun Heng ran to the Rui Wang's Mansion every once in a while, and every time he came, he brought some fun little things as usual. Xiyan is actually a little changed compared to five years ago, she only knew naughty before, but now she loves to read, so Yun Heng sometimes buys some books for her to read. With so many new things brought to her in a variety of ways, Xiyan's life was really not boring at all.

According to Li Xuan's meaning, Ning Ruo should have slightly reminded Xi Yan not to get too close to Yun Heng, but after a few side knocks and temptations, Ning Ruo felt that Xi Yan seemed to be just a brother and sister to Yun Heng, and the words of consolation were difficult to say.

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of King Su. King Rui's Mansion and King Su's Mansion have always been good friends, so naturally they want to go to celebrate their birthday. It's just that since the old prince went, the old Fujin also lived in a simple place, so his son and daughter-in-law took Xiyan to celebrate his birthday. Because he thought of a deeper level, Lao Fujin specially sent Mama Hai next to him to help Xiyan dress up.

Xiyan usually doesn't pay attention to these things, even if he is plain faced, it is common, but now he has to sit there motionless and let others smear his face, which is naturally very uncomfortable. I don't know how long it took, she only felt that her whole body was stiff, and Mama Hai was finally done.

Xiyan opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, which was a little strange. In fact, her facial features were already very good, and now under the careful dress of Mama Hai, she has brought her advantages to the extreme.

Even Mama Hai praised sincerely: "It's really like coming out of a painting!" ”

"Of course!" Xia Shuang said proudly beside her, "I used to ...... in our Lingshui County."

Chunxue pinched hard behind her, and Xia Shuang also knew that it was a mistake, so she was busy talking.

Mama Hai knew Xia Shuang's childish nature, so she just smiled and said, "Gege is indeed naturally beautiful. ”

Xu is rare to see her dressed so formally, and when Xiyan appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up. Even Li Xuan glanced at her twice. Lao Fujin even praised her for being like her deceased mother, and Ning Ruo pulled her happily and praised her well. Xiyan gratefully accepted everyone's praise, but secretly thought in her heart: If you really want to say that you are beautiful, who is more beautiful than Ning Ruo?

In fact, because she has been compared with Ning Ruo since she was a child, Xiyan has some inferiority complex in her heart. She hides this inferiority complex very well, or maybe she doesn't even know about it. Ning Ruo is more beautiful than her, weaker than her, more well-behaved than her, more talented than her, and more ...... than her She unconsciously agreed with this point of view: as long as it is Ning Ruo, it must be better than her. But if she can look at herself objectively, she will find that her appearance and Ning Ruo's appearance are actually indistinguishable. If Ning Ruo is a gorgeous and luxurious peony, she is a fresh and refined orchid. It's nothing more than each flower into its own eyes, who can say that the orchid must be inferior to the peony? The reason why few people praised her appearance in the past is that her naughtiness is more impressive than her appearance.

At this time, the time was almost up, everyone packed up, and got into the carriage and went to King Su's mansion.

When they arrived at King Su's Mansion, it was still early, and everyone was not in a hurry to take their seats. Fortunately, the palace has thought about it thoroughly, and it is the season of peony blossoms at this time, so it has prepared hundreds of pots of peonies for the guests on the lakeside path for everyone to enjoy. Xiyan has never liked flowers and plants since he was a young boy, and at first he looked at Li Xuanning Ruo behind him, and occasionally reluctantly agreed with him, but later he also felt that he was in the way, so he simply distanced himself from them. She is bored, but she is attracted by the conversation between the two girls.

"Look, that's Lord Rui......" A girl in a goose yellow dress said with admiration in her tone.

"Next to it is Rui Wang Fujin, right?" A girl dressed in red beside her said, "I have long heard that King Rui has a soft spot for Fujin, and it is true. ”

When Xiyan heard this, he also looked at them.

I saw that Li Xuan didn't know what to say in Ning Ruo's ear, Ning Ruo's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were affectionate, she smiled at him, and then gently straightened the corners of his clothes, Li Xuan just didn't move, looking at her gently.

"May I win the hearts of ...... people," the girl in goose yellow clothes looked at in amazement.

"If you like Lord Rui so much," the girl in red quipped, "just give him a side blessing." As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a chuckle from several other girls around them.

"No more nonsense, be careful I tear your mouth apart!" The girl in yellow was ashamed and angry, and threatened to beat her.

"My sister spared me, my sister knows it's wrong." The girl hid while laughing.

"Let's be honest, I admire the prince, not only because he is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade, but also because of his sincerity to Fujin." The girl in yellow sneered, "What kind of side fortune, I'm not uncommon." ”

The girls were still talking about something, but she was in a trance.

Warm as jade?

Xiyan reminisced about it repeatedly, trying to recall, but no matter how she thought about it, she had the impression that Li Xuan had never seemed to have anything to do with Wen Runruyu. (Well, once or twice.) After all...... He was quite gentle when he gave her a handkerchief. But he was still young! ）

Maybe that's what others think of him. He's kind to Ning Ruo, isn't he? Always so soft, so elegant, when she looks back, give her a smile full of love; Give her a firm and warm hug when she needs it. As for herself, Xiyan shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, what she got was always a white eye of "stay honest and don't get into trouble". If not, how could she always be making trouble to get his attention? If it weren't for that, how could she be so envious of Ning Ruo, so envious that she always wanted to do some pranks to fix her? If not...... How could she have broken into that catastrophe that even she couldn't forgive herself......

Now she had to admit what she didn't want to admit when she was younger—she was jealous of Ning Ruo, madly jealous. Jealous that she will be treated gently by Li Xuan, jealous that she will always be so weak and innocent and lovable. Therefore, only she deserves to stand by Li Xuan's side and be admired and loved, just like now.

Xiyan glanced back again, yes, at this moment, even she couldn't help but praise in her heart: What a beautiful pair.

"Sunset!" Xi Yan was thinking listlessly about her thoughts, and was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice, and when she looked back, Yun Heng was walking towards her.

"I shouldn't call you a few times, what do you think?" Yun Heng walked quickly to her side. His voice was a little wheezing, and fine beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead. It's warm now, but it's not hot enough yet, right?

"Why is it hot like this?" Xi Yan took out a handkerchief and was about to wipe his sweat. Originally, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and this action was not hypocritical at all, but if it was seen by someone with a heart, it would be a different matter.

So Chunxue quietly tugged at her sleeve behind Xiyan. Xiyan's movements were stagnant, and he was a little unclear. Chunxue didn't want to say it clearly, so she stared at the handkerchief in her hand. Xiyan suddenly understood, although she didn't think so, she still stuffed the handkerchief into Yun Heng's hand. "Well, wipe your sweat."

Yun Heng kept looking at Xi Yan, originally seeing that she was going to wipe his sweat for him personally, he was full of joy, but now he just gave him a handkerchief, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he hurriedly took it and wiped it himself. The faint fragrance wafted from the tip of her nose, and it was the fragrance that emanated from her body when she was close to her that day, Yun Heng felt confused for a while, and just wanted to hug her into his arms. Seeing that Xiyan didn't care, he secretly stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve.

"You're so beautiful today, better than flowers!"

"Thank you, Lord Belle, for the compliment." She smiled mischievously.

"Why didn't you go with Li Xuan and them?"

Xiyan replied lightly, "People enjoy the flowers, what is the matter with me?" ”

"Xiyan, you...... Do you still like Li Xuan? These words have not only circled in his heart a hundred times and thousands of times, but he can't ask, he is afraid of hurting Xiyan and himself. But now seeing her lonely look, I couldn't help but blurt out.

Xiyan was stunned.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Heng was secretly annoyed, but he heard Xi Yan say softly, "Yes, I like it." What I like is the warmth he gave me when I first entered the palace; What I like is the obsession that I have been asking for for many years; Even, what I like is the time we spent together when we were kids. But no matter what, I must like him. You say, how could I not like it? She seemed to be asking him, and she was asking herself.

It's an obsession that has been unbelievable for many years...... Yun Heng's heart moved.

"Xiyan, do you mean that," he felt his breathing a little short, "if...... If you become a relative in the future, your heart will also be ...... Set aside some space for your ...... Give your future husband ......" he stumbled over this passage, and he thought that he must be very stupid at this time.

"Nope." Xiyan shook her head.

Yun Heng's heart was cold.

I saw Xiyan raise his head and say seriously: "If there is a day, I will naturally ...... The whole heart is his. "She doesn't want much, just a home, a home of her own.

"Sunset!" Hearing him say this, Yun Heng almost forgot that there were so many pairs of eyes around, and couldn't help but hold her hand, "I'm ......" He realized his gaffe, hurriedly let go, and his face turned a little red, "I mean, he must be worthy of your sincerity." ”

"Yes. I believe it too. Xi Yan smiled sweetly. She regarded Yun Heng as an elder brother, and she didn't think that there was any shame in revealing her heart in front of him, but she was moved by such a sincere blessing.

"Lord Belle, you're here!" A maid hurriedly walked over and hurriedly saluted them, "The prince is looking for you everywhere." ”

Yun Heng frowned, why is it so urgent? So he said softly to Xiyan, "I'll look for you again when I'm free today, if you can't leave, I'll go to Ruiwang's Mansion to see you tomorrow." ”

"Go ahead."

Seeing that Yun Heng had gone far, Chun Xue stepped forward and said with a little hesitation, "Gege, Yun Heng Baylor seems to be ...... I like you, right? ”

Xi Yan glanced at her, "I've been with Xia Shuang for a long time, and you're more and more fond of talking nonsense." ”

The birthday banquet of King Su's Mansion was very lively, in addition to eating and drinking, he also set up a stage to sing. Xiyan sat with a few girls of the same age, but she could also talk a few words, she was cheerful by nature, easy-going, and she would not feel bored wherever she went. During this time, she would always meet Yun Heng's gaze inadvertently, and she didn't take it to heart, always smiling back. Inexplicably, she felt Su Wang Fujin's cold glance, which made her feel frightened. She hadn't seen Su Wang Fujin a few times in total, and that was when she was a child. The last time we met, I just came back, and I met when I entered the palace, how could I be hostile to her? I can't think about things, Xiyan has always been too lazy to think about it, if she wasn't so open-minded, I don't know how difficult it would be for so many years to live under the fence.

When I returned to the palace after the birthday banquet, it was already late. Xia Shuang's little girl has been waiting in the Chenxi Pavilion. When I saw them go back, I immediately gathered around like a little sparrow and asked questions. It's so fun, you can enjoy flowers and watch plays, but Gege doesn't take her there, it's really eccentric. Listening to Chunxue say a few words without a match, Xia Shuang came to ask Xiyan again: "Gege, it must be very lively today, right?" ”

"Well, it's hilarious." Xiyan deliberately teased her. "I can't bear to come back."

"Then you can live if you marry Yunheng Baylor!" Xia Shuangxin said how easy it is to do this, seeing Yunheng Baylor running here every day, it must be interesting to Gege. If the two of them become successful, there will be a troupe singing in the palace in the future, and she can also watch it.

"You girl is so crazy, even I dare to joke!" Xiyan said and went to itch her.

"Hahahaha...... The slave didn't dare anymore...... Hahaha......"

The small morning and evening pavilion was full of the laughter of young girls.

On this day, I was dressed up and went to a banquet, and Xiyan was sleepy and tired, and I fell asleep not long after lying down. On the contrary, Chunxue tossed and turned on the bed, and she was more awake than during the day. The impact on her today was too great for her to digest. It turns out that Gege likes the prince in his heart...... But usually when they meet, they don't even say a word...... If she said she liked it, she thought Gege preferred Yunheng Baylor. Since entering the palace, Gege has become a different person, talking less and quieter. Only in front of Yunheng Baylor can she be unrestrained and free, and sometimes watching her talk to Baylor makes people laugh. Although the prince has nothing bad about Gege, he is only faint, and he usually doesn't even look at her. But this is not to blame him, there is such a beautiful Fujin by his side, how can the prince still like other people? Chunxue shook her head. Gege really still likes Yunheng Baylor better. Yunheng Baylor's intentions can even be seen by Xia Shuang, but why is Gege always not enlightened? Hey, it would be nice if Lord Belle came to propose marriage quickly...... I don't know how long I thought about it, but Chunxue finally fell asleep in a daze before dawn.
