002 No offense
Thoughts drifted to Lingzhou a few months ago, in that fire-lit and crowded street, there was such a person who gave her a little comfort when she was panicked and helpless.
She had prayed countless times that one day she would be reciprocated, even if it was just to see him again and say thank you. It's a pity that the situation was too chaotic at that time, and her impression of him was only the pair of lonely cold eyes, the warmth in the palms, and his upright and steady posture when he hurriedly looked back.
But even if she knew what he looked like, where could she go to find him, after all, the world was big. In the end, she could only pray for his safety every day, believing that good people would be rewarded in the end.
He clenched his hands tightly, and his heart beat faster and louder as if he were out of control.
She changed her mind and begged to stay, but she relied on the help she had given to Jiang Yan, but she didn't know that the prince's face was not light. Jiang Yan can't be a lady, let alone a little girl. For this reason, she even hid outside his courtyard without knowing the height of the sky and the depth, hoping that even if she just looked at it from afar, she would settle her heart, or if she died that heart, she would forget a matter of her heart.
Now that people are really in front of her, her heart is full of hesitation and apprehension. Could it really be this person? This Seventh Prince, who is high up and has a vastly different status from her?
If so, how will she repay? If not, the time and wait for half a year will be meaningless.
Ling'er's low voice pulled her back from her contemplation, "Madam, you...... Regret it, don't you? I regret marrying the prince. ”
The mood that had been stirring up again was stirred by Ling'er's words, and she was shocked, and suddenly realized the current situation.
How much did you hear about him?
The two people in the room were still talking to themselves, unaware of the Qiē around her, her eyes quickly swept over the people, and her feet moved unconsciously.
"Wang ......" her lips only opened slightly, and before she could make a sound, she was stopped by his sudden look, and he just raised his eyes slightly, and in an instant, he received his warning.
She breathed for a moment and subconsciously pursed her lips.
Recognizing her obedience, the eyes did not hesitate to take a look away from her, as if he had merely inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dispensable ornament.
The shackles disappeared in an instant, and he was temporarily relieved, but he couldn't care about his own little concern. looked at Jiang Yan quietly, only hoping that her shallow understanding of her was accurate, and she would say something to stop Ling'er's out-of-character questioning, and end the current situation as soon as possible.
But Jiang Yan didn't say a word, and her confused and worried expression was gradually reflected on the bronze mirror.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone waited with bated breath for her answer.
He lowered his eyes little by little, and only then did he notice that the knuckles of the hand holding the porcelain vase had turned white.
With the grace of Mrs. Yan's intake in before, can she turn a blind eye and watch? After the prince's warning, can she disobey?
Tilting his heart was entangled, and his thoughts were chaotic, but he didn't know that Jiang Yan was the same.
Regret it? Jiang Yan has also secretly asked herself this sentence countless times, but she still can't give an answer to this day. She was careful to be able to marry him, but if she had known that marrying him would be such a price, and she would have been so lonely, would she still be able not to change her original intention. Or perhaps, when I made this comparison in my heart for the first time, I regretted it.
In the silence, Ling'er's voice sounded again.
"Madame, you have been frowning since you last met the old lady. Slave, slave and maid accidentally overheard your conversation with the old lady. Ling'er bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and blurted out, "The slave knows that you have always felt guilty for ruining the marriage contract back then, but everyone has their own fate, and today many things are powerless, in this case, why torture and delay yourself." As the old lady said, the relationship between the two is already like this, and if the lady is caught in the middle, if she wavers any longer, it will only make the situation worse. If that's the case, why don't you marry ...... in peace?"
There was a loud bang, and the porcelain fell to the ground and shattered.
The screeching sound overshadowed Ling'er's last words, and she turned her head in shock, only to see her standing at the end of the bed at a loss, and her feet were in a mess. Her face turned pale, and she finally realized her gaffe.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and he could clearly hear his own rapid heartbeat. Right now, the red-glazed blue and white porcelain vase with a landscape picture is shattered to the ground, losing its original appearance.
Jiang Yan closed her eyes, her voice was full of weakness, "Ling'er, pay attention to your proportions, I don't want to hear this a second time." It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, but I've made up my mind and won't change it. ”
Ling'er raised her eyes in shock, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and her eye circles gradually reddened. After a long time, she stepped aside and said no more.
Jiang Yan sighed, then slowly stood up and walked to Tilt Bang, "Tilt, why are you ......?"
"Madam, the slave maid missed for a while, how is this good?" Tilt looked down at his already empty hands and muttered.
Mrs. loves flowers, and the fragrance of plum blossoms in winter is cold, so she has the habit of smelling incense every day. The porcelain vase was originally placed on the small table next to the bed, and after she finished cleaning up the bed, she swept it over, and then picked it up and wanted to replace the plum blossoms again. As a result, this thing, which is said to have been given by the prince and cherished by his wife, died in her hand.
A "miss" may be able to deceive Jiang Yan and Ling'er, but it can't hide it from the eyes of the prince. The moment the porcelain vase fell from her hand, his knowing eyes and slightly pursed lips told her that she was in big trouble.
"What's going on?" The bead curtain was opened, and a deep voice came in, and the sound of the jade beads constantly colliding smashed into people's hearts. Tilting and Ling'er stood stiffly and didn't dare to raise their heads, Jiang Yan was slightly surprised, but when she turned around, her face was as usual.
Just let go like this, and the tilt was directly exposed in front of Jun Ruojin without concealment, she bit her lower lip tightly, sensing the seeming gaze in front of her, her shoulders subconsciously tightened, and her head lowered more and more.
Jiang Yan took a few steps to salute, Jun Ruojin reached out in time to hold her elbow, his eyes skimmed up and down on her, and his voice softened a little, "It's not hurt, right?" ”
She steadied herself, her gaze naturally falling on his face.
I have always known that he has a good looks, inheriting the delicate eyebrows and eyes of Concubine Ying and the handsome elegance of the emperor, young fashion only thinks he is very beautiful, more than ten years have passed, and he has added fortitude, calmness and restraint. Back then, she was attracted by his appearance and bearing, and perhaps, he didn't take her seriously.
Sighing in my heart, the girls always think that they are different, and regard the boy's ignorance as a cover to cover their inner shyness, only to realize later that it is just self-deception.
"Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine." She withdrew her arm without a trace, leaning slightly to the side, and then she noticed the pale face, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly put away the broken porcelain on the ground." ”
She casually let the dump retreat, not worried that Jun Ruojin would be blamed, he had never put anyone in his eyes, let alone a humble subordinate.
She smelled the fresh smell with a faint vapor, which made her a little dazed, and she couldn't believe that the distant thought had become so close at hand. Jiang Yan's words made her hesitate for a moment, and she subconsciously waited for his words, but maybe after all, she lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he didn't say anything.
Tilting quickly picked up the fragments and put them into the tray handed by Ling'er, and when he stood up, his feet were slightly unstable, but Ling'er helped him from the side, and didn't let the things in his hand fall back to the ground.
"If there's anything that doesn't work well, just tell Mama Wang and let her change it to you." Tilting his footsteps, he silently withdrew Fang Cai's words in his heart.
Jiang Yan glanced in the direction of the tilt without a trace, "Don't bother Mama Wang." Her voice was faint, imperceptibly cold.
"There are some things that can be used well and can be helpful, and if you don't use them well, you will only cause trouble for yourself." Perhaps because of her unthinking refusal, his voice sank slightly.
Stuff? Exploit? Such cold words made my heart chill, and for the first time, I felt that people were like floating clouds, and I was the difference between ants.
Is it really that person?
He asked himself, only to feel that the hope he had ignited was extinguished little by little.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling melancholy, but also inexplicably relieved.
Jiang Yan looked at Jun Ruojin for a long time, but he didn't answer again, and he looked back silently, so this long sigh seemed so abrupt and inappropriate.
Ling'er's hand on her leaning arm stiffened, trying to knock her brain open to see what she was thinking. After receiving Jiang Yan's handover look, Ling'er put a force on her hand, and no longer dared to delay her and walked out.
Tilting was unguarded and pushed, only to hear a series of noises, and the broken porcelain pieces on the tray finally fell back to the ground. The sound of gasps drifted in front of my ears, and then, the right shoulder hit something.
The smell of agarwood lingered on the tip of her nose, and her arms were warm, and she felt that she was being pushed up and stood up.
"Reckless, bold, even if you are reluctant to leave it, it is time for someone to teach the rules well." Jun Ruojin coldly withdrew the right hand she was holding, and met her eyes raised in disbelief.
……
That day's breakfast was set up in the flower hall, and the sunlight reflected in the glass on all sides, illuminating the room warmly. It is Mrs. Yan's favorite place, and when she was in a good mood in the past, she also asked Yun'er to set a pot of hot tea, take a good book, and stay with the fragrance of tea and flowers for most of the day. It's the first time I've eaten.
The prince specially asked someone to prepare his wife's favorite food, but unexpectedly did not stay to eat with his wife, and left soon, and he did not set foot in Wenlan Yuan for a period of time after that. I heard that he was mostly busy with official business, and when he had a little spare time, he only went to stay with Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Min for a few nights.
For a while, it was rumored that the prince's favorite was really the two ladies, and as for Mrs. Yan, it was probably only a temporary adjustment at most.
However, some people say that Mrs. Yan is actually very wronged, I heard that the prince was in a hurry that day because he was disturbed by a girl who didn't know the severity, and Mrs. Yan was actually affected. finally got such an opportunity to get close to the prince, but it was destroyed by the recklessness of the subordinates, and Mrs. Yan's annoyance and anger can be imagined, so she handed over the girl ring to the prince to dispose of. Fortunately, the prince was generous, and only sent Mama Wang, who was in charge of internal affairs, to teach the rules.
However, one is a teaching, and the two are also teaching, so he simply taught all the subordinates of Wenlan Yuan.
When he heard the rumor told by Feiyan, he was silent for a while, and he thought about it again in his heart, and when he first heard it, he basically felt that something was wrong. Lying on the bed exhausted, lamenting, she not only offended the prince, but even offended the people of Lan Yuan.
You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity.
