Liu Xuan looked at her when she heard this, looked straight into her apologetic eyes, smiled and nodded.

Cao Ying seemed relieved when she saw this, she smiled bitterly and said: "Half a year ago, I thought I would live very well, and I could marry someone I have admired for a long time as I wished, this is my biggest wish since I was in Jilu, but after more than half a year, I realized that I was outrageously wrong, and a woman's greatest happiness is to find someone who knows her, understands her, and treats her sincerely." ”

Liu Xuan didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to listen silently.

Cao Ying said again: "I know that my sister and His Highness have some misunderstandings, if I had never said this before, but in the past half a year, I have seen better than anyone else, Your Highness has only you in his heart." ”

Speaking of this, her face was bitter again: "If it's because of me, you don't have to mind, I ...... Although I have become a relative to His Highness, it is no different from before, Your Highness has you in his heart, and he has never looked at me more than I have tried my best, and the other women in the courtyard are the same. ”

Liu Xuan knew that Cao Ying, who was arrogant, said this, and she must have experienced a lot in the past six months, and she was completely dead.

She lowered her eyes and whispered: "Now it's unintentional to say this, My Highness and I are just two strangers, sister must not mention it again." ”

Cao Ying sighed when she heard this: "If I didn't know that the prince really loves you, I would have apologized for the rest of my life, and now I also understand that this is the consequence of my willful and reckless behavior, and no matter how difficult the road I choose, I will have to finish it." ”

"That's what I want to say, too." Liu Xuan smiled at her: "In this world, there will always be many unsatisfactory places. But the road is chosen by yourself, and there is no room for regret. ”

Cao Ying looked at her deeply when she heard this, as if she wanted to explore the truth of her words, and sighed after half a sound: "If I could have half of my sister's open-mindedness, I wouldn't have come to this point." ”

Liu Xuan didn't answer her words, she just silently picked up the teacup and took a sip, it wasn't that she didn't want to ask about Cao Ying's past in the past half a year, but she didn't dare to ask, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to be like now after she knew, and her heart was like water.

"Look at me. It's rare to see you say something unpleasant. Cao Ying put away the bitterness on her face. raised a smile: "I heard that my sister has made meritorious contributions at the border pass, I wonder if you can tell me about it?" I've been stuck in the backyard all day, and I can't imagine what you're thinking of when you let the generals come back. When the court plays, please ask Your Highness to reward you. ”

Liu Xuan was slightly stunned. She never thought there would be such a play. She smiled and shook her head: "This is the generals who promoted me, I just thought of a method, and this method never came in handy in the end." ”

She was modest, but Cao Ying was interested. pestered her to ask her to come and listen, just at this time Princess Xue Jun also arrived, Liu Xuan simply greeted Princess Xue Jun first, and then talked about the plank road with the two of them.

After listening, Princess Xue Jun and Cao Ying both admired and admired each other, and Princess Xue Jun even praised: "I always thought that my sister was a good businessman, but I never thought that I would go to the border pass, and in that man's world, I could still fight for a face for our women." ”

Cao Ying also nodded on the side: "My sister doesn't let me shave my eyebrows, which really makes me admire." ”

Liu Xuan naturally didn't dare to praise them, but said that she was born in Shudi, but it was just a coincidence.

The three of them chatted some more gossip, and when it was close to noon, Princess Xue suddenly spoke: "Have you ever gone to Yipinxiang to see after my sister came back?" ”

Liu Xuan's heart was tense when she heard this, she knew that she was now being attacked by the students, and this Pinxiang's business would definitely not be as good as before, but when she heard Princess Xuejun's words, it seemed that she was not just as she thought, and said at the moment: "My sister also knows about this situation, how can Yipinxiang ask my sister to inform me now." ”

Princess Xue Jun sighed: "Your subordinates didn't tell you, they must be afraid that you would worry, but I talked too much." You originally set up an elegant hall on the second floor of Yipinxiang for poor students, and many poor students have been appreciated because of the elegant hall. Now you are being crusaded, and the sentient and righteous who have received your favor cannot help but speak for you, but they have come to the wrath of the people, and yesterday a few men spoke for you, but they were beaten, and if it were not for your good money management, I am afraid that blood would have been splashed on the spot, and in spite of all those men were still wounded. ”

Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this: "Is the injury serious?" Have you ever called the doctor to see it? ”

"It's not serious." Princess Xue Jun said: "At that time, the money manager looked for a doctor, and it was good to raise it for a few days, but in this way, there were rumors outside that you were reincarnated as a fox and had charming skills, but everyone who saw you fell for you." ”

"Ridiculous!" Hearing such words, Liu Xuan was inevitably angry even if she had a good temper, and she said angrily: "They spread it like this, do they have to kill themselves?" It's a shame that it's still a student, and he actually said such ghostly and flattering words, and read the book of sages in vain! ”

Princess Xue Jun also sighed, and Cao Ying on the side frowned and said, "Sister, don't let them talk like this nonsense anymore, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!" ”

If something like this happens, if she doesn't pay attention to it anymore, the situation will definitely get out of control, Liu Xuan frowned and nodded: "As my sister said, I can't sit still anymore." ”

Princess Xue Jun and Cao Ying saw that she seemed to have a plan, so they relaxed slightly.

It was already noon, Princess Xue Jun and Cao Ying got up to say goodbye, Liu Xuan wanted to keep the two of them for dinner, both of them smiled and refused, Liu Xuan didn't stay at the moment, so he personally sent the two out of Liu's mansion.

After sending off Princess Xue Jun and Cao Ying, Liu Xuan immediately went back to the study, she instructed Dongmei to grind for her, but she hesitated when she picked up the pen and wrote it, and a drop of ink splashed on the snow-white rice paper, and instantly smudged on the rice paper.

Seeing this, Dongmei, who was grinding ink on the side, couldn't help but call out: "Miss......"

Liu Xuan came back to her senses, saw the ink stains on the rice paper, was silent for a moment, and slowly put down the pen in her hand.

Now what qualifications does she have, what identity does she have, and what face does she have to bother him again?

That's it, there is always a cause and effect in things in the world, maybe this is her retribution......

If it weren't for her, dozens of people in Liu Zhai would not have died. If it weren't for her, the man like the god mansion would still be decisive and impeccable, if it weren't for her, Deng Yu would still be free and easy, if it weren't for her, the Liu family would not be criticized.

Maybe this is really retribution......

Dongmei on the side didn't know why Liu Xuan picked up the pen and put it away, she looked at Liu Xuan's depressed face, and suddenly felt a little distressed: "Miss is sad because of the rumors outside?" It's really not good to let the prince send it away, anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won't be bad. ”

She said something frustrating, Liu Xuan sighed and said, "It's enough for me to be infamous." And why bother others? ”

Dongmei is tempted to say that this is not a confluence. The prince and the prince would never think that this was a burden, but she looked at Liu Xuan's dejected appearance, but she couldn't say this, so she had to bow her head silently. I secretly thought about discussing with Qiu Ju in my heart. Whatever it takes. We can't let things go on like this.

Liu Xuan put down the pen and stopped mentioning the matter, rested for a while after lunch, and took a nap as usual.

She had just woken up after a nap. I saw Qiu Ju and Dongmei walking in with the washing water, with an excited face, the two put the water aside, and came to Liu Xuan's side happily to wait for her to get up.

Liu Xuan looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "What is it that makes the two of you so happy?" ”

Qiu Ju and Dongmei glanced at each other, and said with a smile on their faces while waiting for Liu Xuan to get up: "Miss guess? ”

Liu Xuan let them wait and put on her coat, straightened her neckline and shook her head lightly: "I can't guess." ”

"Miss Guess can't guess either." Qiu Ju smiled and her face was quite proud, she led Liu Xuan to the basin, took a handkerchief and handed it to her, and then said, "Miss, do you feel that there is a lot less singing outside?" ”

Liu Xuan didn't care much about it, but when she heard Qiu Ju say this, she suddenly found that the sound of singing outside was indeed much smaller, even if she closed the door in the past, she could still hear the singing, but now she couldn't hear it clearly when she opened the door, and she frowned and wondered: "What happened?" ”

Dongmei stepped forward and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids will not sell Guanzi, after the next dynasty today, His Royal Highness the Prince deliberately went to the Ning Wangfu, and then went to a fragrant meal with the prince, when he came to the second floor, the prince and the prince debated with those students who were talking nonsense, and they were embarrassed by the red ears and red ears of those people, so after the afternoon, the singing voice suddenly became much smaller. ”

Liu Xuan listened stunned, half-lowered her eyes couldn't see clearly, and she asked in a leisurely and faint voice, "What did he say?" ”

She didn't say who he was, but Qiu Ju and Dongmei immediately knew that he was referring to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Dongmei was still excited, and immediately heard everything she had heard: "His Royal Highness the Prince's majesty, how can it be that such a student who is full of nonsense can bear it, His Royal Highness just glanced at them, and the original students who were full of nonsense were frightened one by one. ”

She naturally knew his majesty, Liu Xuan silently listened to Dongmei's unconcealed admiration, and asked, "Then what?" ”

Then His Royal Highness raised his eyebrows and asked: 'As a student, knowledge is the most important thing, and the so-called knowledge is to see and hear the meaning, understand what ordinary people don't understand, and what ordinary people don't know. But all people of insight are not people who are also people, you are sitting here to eat Xuan'er's half-given food, using Xuan'er's free gifts, even if the point in your heart is to reach the heavens to listen to the wish, it is also based on Xuan'er's built, you are not only not grateful, but do not know the truth and do not listen to reason, in your eyes alone is the mediocre business? ! ”

Dongmei is good at imitating, and she actually learned Li Che's majestic tone seven or eight points, after speaking, she looked at Liu Xuan, and said excitedly: "Miss doesn't know, those students heard His Royal Highness's words, and they were all ashamed to go to the first floor from the crack in the ground, not only that, His Royal Highness the Prince also pulled the prince to explain to Miss?" ”

Liu Xuan's eyes were half-drooping, hiding most of the look in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice, "How did they excuse me?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince confirmed three things in front of everyone." Dongmei raised a finger and said: "The first is that Miss is not the person who is good at flattery, Miss went to the border pass under the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and if you go to the border pass and do not return, it is not that you eloped with the prince, but that Your Highness allowed you to return to your hometown to visit relatives." ”

As she spoke, she raised her second finger: "Second, the prince and you are innocent, and there is no skin-to-skin relationship. ”

"Third." Dongmei raised the third finger and said: "The matter of withdrawing from the marriage is a matter of rights and interests, the unstable prince in the court has married two new concubines, among which Concubine Wu is about to give birth, His Royal Highness the prince has no intention of getting married, but he does not want to delay the young lady, so he will withdraw from the marriage first." ”

Dongmei withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness finally said a sentence: 'Lone and Shizi have been friends for many years, how can they be discordant because of a woman, it's really a joke!'" Lone only said this once, and if Lone heard such nonsense in the future, he would definitely be to blame! ’”

After she finished speaking, she winked at Liu Xuan, with a look of admiration: "Miss, you said that Your Highness is very powerful!" ”

Liu Xuan nodded blankly and did not speak, Dongmei saw her like this, only then did she notice her strangeness, the original excitement on her face suddenly faded, she asked a little cautiously, "Miss don't like it?" ”

Liu Xuan came back to her senses when she heard this, and smiled with too many eyes: "Happy, how can you not like it." In this way, the annoying sound of singing will dissipate in a few days, which is a cause for rejoicing. ”

When Dongmei and Qiu Ju heard her say this, they both smiled and nodded.

Liu Xuan came to the dresser and sat down, letting Qiu Ju brush her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror, and felt bitter for a while, he could always think about what she thought, and knew what she didn't say. I also wanted to ask him and Deng Yu to go to Yipinxiang to excuse herself, although she didn't mention the pen in the end, but he still did what she thought.

How could she be treated like this?

After finishing her hair, Liu Xuan sent Qiu Ju Dongmei away, and went to the study to read by herself, but the book was spread out for a long time but not a word was in her eyes, she had been sitting quietly, and her heart was at a loss.

When he left Beijing, he once said that as long as she wanted to, as long as she spoke, he would do it for her, how much she wanted him to promise that she would be the only one by her side in the future.

But she still didn't open her mouth in the end, because she knew how difficult it was to be like him, and she didn't want to embarrass him, and she didn't dare to open such a mouth.

At the end of the day, it's a lack of trust.

Now that everything was clear, she dared to believe it, but she couldn't.

As the sun sets, the sunset covers the study with a layer of gold through the window, Liu Xuan raised her eyes to look out the window, the autumn wind is bleak and the yellow leaves are falling, for a moment she seems to feel that she is the yellow leaves, since she has made a choice to get out of the tree to seek a new life, then she can only flutter with the wind, and the yellow leaves in the autumn wind have no way to choose to return to the tree. (To be continued......)
