Yun'er always watched silently from the side, until the prince left for a long time, and the picture of his careful and cautious bandaging his wife's wounds kept repeatedly appearing in his mind.

She exhaled slowly, walked to Jiang Yan's side, and interrupted her distraction, "Madame is worried about Childe?" ”

Jiang Yan shook her head instead, "There's nothing to worry about, with his skills, even if he has something, he can handle it." ”

Yun'er was dumbfounded, she knew how powerful Xiao Gongzi was, but did Mrs. ever think that if there was really a case, Xiao Gongzi could escape, what about her?

"Madame......"

There was a knock on the door, Yun'er hid her worries and turned to open the door.

Outside the door stood a young girl in her early teens, "Is Sister Tilting there?" The little girl's voice was crisp, and there was a smile on her immature face.

Yun'er looked at her suspiciously.

"Isn't it there?" The little girl was in a hurry, and her sister before the meeting did not respond, but asked in a crisp voice.

Tilt was walking to the door, "Yes, I am, are you looking for me?" ”

The little girl grinned and handed over the crimson embroidered cloak and a pair of shoes in her hand, "Sister Dongxue asked me to bring these two things to you, sister." Regardless of whether the other party took it or not, she pushed the things in her hand into her arms, turned around and ran away.

Dongxue, the first-class girl next to the prince.

I couldn't scream, so I looked down.

The cloak fabric is superb, smooth to the touch, so light that you hardly feel too much weight, and the embroidery on the fabric is delicate and lifelike. This cloak is much better than what they usually use, and it is worthy of the first-class maid ring around the prince.

"Madam, the cloak on the slave's maid is only wet from the snow at the hem, and it will dry after a while of roasting." She put her cloak and shoes on the cabinet, and Jiang Yanyuan just used her as an excuse, which is really unnecessary now.

Jiang Yan looked at the exquisitely made clothes, her eyes were a little wandering, "Yes...... Winter snow is kind, you can just put it on. I remember that Zizhuyuan has a very good view, you can see the whole capital, since you have come, you will go with me. ”

Yun'er should be, stepped forward to help Jiang Yan. He hesitated for a moment before putting on his cloak and shoes.

A few people went down the corridor outside the gate, and after the half-moon arch was a garden, Jiang Yan didn't stop long, and went straight along the path to the east, bypassing a pool on the outside of the garden, and came to an open place.

The wide ground is neatly paved with square bricks, and the outermost edge is made of jade fences. The mountains in the distance are continuous, a scene of clouds and mist, and the southwest is the direction of the capital, from here it looks neat and tidy like a chessboard.

It was the first time for him to stand on such a high place, looking at the qiē in front of him, and his heart was stirring.

"No wonder people like to stand on high places." Jiang Yan sighed, "Everything in the world seems to be under control." ”

Looking at the mountains in the distance, I don't know why she sighed. The clouds seemed to be within reach, and her vision was wide, and she only felt that her troubles were swept away, and there was a kind of joy that she could fly freely like a bird.

"You see, that piece of red is the Listening Wind Pavilion, and the Listening Wind Pavilion in winter is always very beautiful." Jiang Yan raised her hand and pointed, "But the beautiful scenery is always short, and after a while, this flower will be grateful, and then it will be another scene." ”

Tilting and disagreeing, the flowers bloom for a while, although the fall is pitiful, but sooner or later it will reopen, "It will bloom again next winter, and it will be ...... then" What about that time, they may not see it again, she changed her words and said: "The slave maid thinks that the flowers in Wenlan Yuan bloom better." ”

Jiang Yan smiled and shook her head, "You still don't understand, in fact, this flower is like a woman, if you miss the season, who knows what it will be like in the coming year." ”

Leaning over her beautiful silhouette, she fell silent.

Jiang Yan still looked at the magnificent mountain scenery in front of her, but suddenly asked, "In your opinion, the prince is a good person?" ”

A gust of wind blew up from the bottom of the mountain, rolling up the corners of her crimson clothes, blowing her sideburns and broken hair, she opened her mouth slightly, only to feel that Jiang Yan's words were blown by the wind, and she couldn't hear it clearly.

She blinked until Jiang Yan turned to face her, making sure she had heard correctly.

Yun'er didn't know when she had fallen far behind, this place was high and wide, and the movement in the surroundings could be seen at a glance. Therefore, the view is fake, and the lady has something to tell her that it is true.

Also, there are things to say.

"The slave and maid don't dare to talk about the prince," she thought for a while, and then continued: "But in the eyes of the slave and maid, the prince cares about his wife and is a person who can be relied on. ”

"I'm not talking about me, I want to ask, what do you think of the prince?"

Seeing her stunned and speechless, Jiang Yan said in a deep voice: "You are a smart person, I won't ask directly without beating around the bush, and you can be as straightforward as possible." I was able to keep you in the palace until today, it's not that there is no room for people, Ling'er doesn't have that blessing, but you don't necessarily have that. ”

I have thought a lot about Jiang Yan's guilt, protection and protection of Xiao Yu, the dilemma of love and hate for the prince, and her acceptance and suspicion, but I never thought that she would be asked such a question. Jiang Yan's thoughts almost made her dumbfounded, "Madame, but do you think that the slave maid thinks differently about the prince?" ”

"I've been wondering what made you suddenly change your mind since you planned to stay with me, until I found out that you often wandered outside Yu Lanyuan, and I made up my mind." Her words surprised her again.

When he first arrived in the capital, he didn't know much about the palace, but he simply wanted to confirm the conjecture in his heart. Gradually, after being in the palace for a long time, I saw and heard more, and I realized that it was really a very important thing to spy on the prince, and then I didn't dare to act arbitrarily. I didn't expect Mrs. to know, but she just didn't ask.

If the lady knows, then the prince ...... That's why I think she has ulterior motives.

"Since Madame has been pretending not to know, why is she suddenly mentioning it now?"

Jiang Yan slowly turned her head away, trying her best to hide the sourness in her heart, "When you are a subordinate, you look at the master's face and guess the meaning of the master's words, so that you can not disobey the master." In fact, we are the same, our words and deeds are not to guess what the prince thinks. You should know about Ling'er, she has always been concerned about the prince, but after so many years by my side, the prince is afraid that he may not even know her appearance and name. Do you think that I have known the prince for ten years, and I will not know that the prince treats you differently. ”

Different? Dumping recalled meeting the prince several times, and I don't know how the lady guessed that she, the person concerned, didn't know. No matter what happened to the two of them before, the prince has always been gentle to his wife, but the lady doesn't seem to know how indifferent the prince is to others, such as himself.

In the end, it was because of his previous behavior, words and deeds that aroused his wife's suspicions.

"Lord Wang," her hand touched the jade fence, and she closed her eyes, "I once saved the life of the slave maid." ”

I didn't want to sue anyone, but now the situation is out of her control.

Jiang Yan looked at her in disbelief.

"The slave's hometown is in Lingzhou, at the beginning of this year, the slave was chased by people for escaping marriage, and when she was in danger, she escaped because of the prince, and then left Lingzhou and came to the capital. The slave maid actually has a family still alive, and the reason for going to the capital is already known, and the lady is looking for her lost sister. She smiled, smiling helplessly and confused, "The slave maid is looking for people's hearts, so she refused Madame's help at first, and later offered to stay, Madame is right, it is because of the prince." The slave knew that some of the previous actions had caused the lady to be suspicious, but the slave and maid had no other meaning, and just wanted to repay the small amount. ”

At the beginning of the year, the prince was indeed absent from the house for a while, and Jiang Yan didn't know where he went, so she believed what she said, but, "If this is your hope, I can help you." ”

Listening to Jiang Yan's calm voice, a sense of depression overflowed into my heart. She immediately comforted that some things were useless to rely on only one or two sentences of explanation, and Madame still didn't trust her to keep Xiao Yu's secret, so she would make an exchange for it.

Tilt shook his head dryly, "No, there's no need." ”

"There are not a few people who have been trying to get close to the prince, and it is normal for him not to believe you."

Tilt understood the meaning of her words, "It's not that the prince doesn't remember me. Looking up at the clear sky, I couldn't help but yearn for it.

Jiang Yan blink an eye, the vast mountains and rivers in front of them are freedom and hope in the eyes of the Tilt, but in their own eyes, they are only the scenery outside the window, maybe they have nothing to do with themselves in this life. Jiang Yan pursed her lips and looked at her quietly, with an indescribable taste in her heart.

"A great favor to the slave and maid, but to the prince, it is just a gesture of effort, meaningless. In the final analysis, the so-called repayment of gratitude is just the wishful thinking of slaves and maids, and it is not really needed for the prince, and it is even a burden. It's not that the slave and maid have not expressed their thoughts, but since they understand what the prince means, the slave and maid should obey, but staying in the palace has become meaningless for the slave and maid. Therefore, the slave and maid have been thinking about whether they should leave the palace recently, this is not a place for the slave to stay for a long time. ”

Jiang Yan didn't answer, and her expression didn't ease because of her words.

"Madame didn't trust the slave before, and now she doesn't believe it, doesn't she?" From Jiang Yan's sudden appearance today, she knew this. Madame wasn't a person who liked to move around, and not so much so now.

"Indeed, as you said, since the prince is kind to you, how can you help us hide it from the prince?" Jiang Yan said frankly.

"The slave is very envious of the lady."

Jiang Yan's words surprised Jiang Yan, and then she smiled dumbly, not knowing that she would be envied by others now.

"Madam, the slave maid can't deny that she has the idea of informing the prince, but since she chose to throw away the jade pendant, she has already made a choice. Whether the lady believes it or not, the slave maid's statement that the prince is worthy of the lady's trust is not a lie, but the other reason is because of Xiao Gongzi. ”

Jiang Yan listened quietly.

"The slave has had a favorite person since he was a child, and he liked him for so many years, but it wasn't until he grew up that he knew that he actually liked someone else. Seeing Xiao Gongzi is like seeing herself, the slave and maid can't compare to Xiao Gongzi, and can't do it for five years, but this does not prevent the slave from admiring Xiao Gongzi. The slave has always been an outsider, but I always thought that maybe it would be the best result for the prince, the lady, and even Xiao Gongzi to get through this matter safely. ”

Jiang Yan's expression was moved for a moment, and the figure standing in front of her seemed to suddenly transform into another person in her eyes, "Have you ever thought that maybe that person is not worthy of you at all." ”

With this sentence, she knew that she was talking about herself, and she was also Xiao Yu.

"There's nothing worth it, but it's just a matter of please, isn't it the same with Madame? Madam, I know what other people are talking about," she paused slightly, and retreated to Jiang Yan's side, "To say something disrespectful, there are not many times when Madame is happy after being by Madame's side for so long. The prince and his wife's childhood sweethearts are still like this, what are the slaves and maids to the prince? I have that self-knowledge, and I always have the expectation that one day I will live as simple and happy as my father and mother. ”

She hinted at Ling'er several times with similar words, but Ling'er still doesn't understand, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her was still young and so transparent. Jiang Yan's chest ached, if she could have this self-knowledge at the beginning, would she be much happier today.

"Ma'am." Yun'er hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Jiang Yan's ear.

"Got it." Jiang Yan took a deep breath, and then raised her eyes to regain her former demeanor, "I always knew that you had an idea, but you were still too naïve." Let me ask you, what do you think would happen if something you thought was unfounded, but everyone assumed it was true? ”

A meaningful smile swayed on his lips, "Since ancient times, there has been a training that women follow their fathers at home and marry their husbands, heh, but if women can really obey willingly, there will be no disputes between wives and concubines. You'll soon understand. Also, what I said earlier is still counting, and you can reply to me. ”

Seeing her figure in the distance, a sense of powerlessness finally gradually arose in her heart.

As for what she said later, she always felt that she meant something.
