Chu Lingye stood in front of the window of the study, carefully holding the ink painting in his hand, looking at the smiling girl inside, his heart finally calmed down.

In the past nine years, I have become accustomed to looking at Ruru's portrait and recalling the past when I am upset, so that no matter how chaotic my mind is, I can quickly calm down.

As soon as he came out of An Xin's room, he was inexplicably upset.

Just as he was about to put down the ink painting, a figure suddenly drifted into his sight.

It was the woman, his princess......

She was dressed in white, walking cautiously in the snow-covered courtyard, lonely and quiet, Chu Lingye looked at her, and lost her mind for a moment, and suddenly seemed to see her figure flying over in the distance, completely overlapping with the figure of the girl in the nearby portrait.

She is somewhat similar to his Ruru!

"Click!"

The ink painting in his hand fell on the desk, Chu Lingye hurriedly withdrew his gaze from a distance, picked it up carefully, and carefully put it into the wooden box.

"Brother Ling Ye, when I grow up and have money, I will ask a painter to paint a lot of our portraits, and fill this wooden box with it."

There seemed to be the sound of the spring water tinkling in his ears again, Chu Lingye stroked the wooden box that exuded an ancient fragrance, and there was a layer of melancholy in his beautiful eyes.

This wooden box was a gift from Ruru on the day of their separation, and later, he had become famous, had a status and a lot of money, but he never had the opportunity to ask a painter to paint a picture of Ruru.

……

The palace is located on the outskirts of the imperial city, there is a large poplar forest outside the courtyard, the courtyard is full of trees and all kinds of flowers and plants, the air is fresh and clean, although it is a little cold outside, but the air here makes An Xin feel a little more comfortable in her lungs.

"You've lost something."

A clear voice came from behind her, An Xin turned her head and saw the tall man standing behind her, and was slightly stunned: "Are you calling me?" ”

"It's yours, right?"

The man slowly walked forward, spread out his right hand, and a ring-shaped jade pendant appeared in his palm.

"Ahh

An Xin exclaimed, slowly grabbed the jade pendant in the man's hand, and held it tightly in his hand.

This jade pendant was found in the pocket of her wedding dress the day after she and Chu Lingye got married, and she thought that since An Xin in her previous life had taken it close to her even on the day of her wedding, it must be very important.

The man hooked his lips and laughed silently.

Only then did she realize her gaffe, and An Xin looked up at the man apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little rude." ”

"Is it so important to you? Sent by a lover? ”

The man's eyes narrowed, and his voice remained faint.

"I guess so."

An Xin also smiled, looking at the man's face and suddenly lost his mind.

The man in front of him was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress and a straw hat, if you look at it from a distance, most of his face is covered by a straw hat, and there is nothing special at all, but now An Xin can see his whole face clearly from the bottom up:

Thick black sword eyebrows, regular slender eyelashes like a fan, eyes as bright as black gems, high nose bridge, slightly pointed chin......

This man is handsome like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

"Important things must be guarded, otherwise you will regret it for life if you lose it."

Finding that An Xin's eyes were strange, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his clear tone was like a faint breeze.

"Oh, thank you."

She didn't actually mean anything else, just an appreciation of beautiful things, but when she met his gaze, An Xin still withdrew her gaze in embarrassment.

"You're welcome, Princess......"

He raised his eyebrows meaningfully, turned and left.

The moment he walked by, An Xin smelled a smell similar to the morning breeze in the bamboo forest, fragrant and good, she felt that this smell was very familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had smelled it.

~ Chu Lingye in this life actually had a past with An Xin, and the ...... will be slowly unraveled later~
