The water in the bath bucket is deep and warm, and there are fragrant petals floating on the water surface.

But how can you be so sleepy? She tried to lift her spirits, but she was still defeated by exhaustion, and fell asleep in the tub with her head held high.

In the confused dream, why is it still Shen Muchi?

On the East Street at the beginning of the lanterns, she stood in the crowd and looked at his back in a daze......

I can't tell the difference between inside and outside the dream, but today's events are more like a dream.

Suddenly, she felt like she was sinking to the bottom of the water, she tried to slap the water, trying to breathe, but she choked on the pain in her chest, and when she felt that her life was in danger, she was lifted by a powerful force, and she woke up from the nightmare when she broke out of the water.

She choked deeply, someone was patting her on the back, and the temperature of the person's palm came from the skin on her back, she hurriedly lowered her head, panicked and realized that she was unsightly, and quickly sank into the water, revealing only one head.

"Now I know it's embarrassing. I've never seen such a stupid one, and you can fall asleep in the bath! "Don't hide the blame.

There was no maid to wait for him in the bath, and if he hadn't arrived in time, she would have drowned in his bathtub instead of being killed by the knife today.

"I'm sorry!" Cai Ling felt that her face was very hot, maybe she had been soaking for too long, so she hurriedly wanted to send him away, "I'll get up now." ”

He didn't leave, Cai Ling mustered up the courage to stare at him, but he smiled, "I've seen everything I should see, your figure is just like this, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

Cai Ling was so angry that he was about to splash him when he made a splash, so he withdrew from the room. In this way, the embarrassment of each other has eased a lot.

She changed into a blue shirt and trousers, and the neckline showed off the winter plum of Turui, she couldn't help but touch it, I don't know if it was the clothes of the personal maid next to him, and the taste was good.

He lay on the spacious bed of pear blossom wood, looking at her half-squinted. She restrained her doubts and only asked, "Where do I sleep?" ”

He pointed to the small couch on the side of the bed, which seemed to be the sleeping place of the maid who served him to sleep on weekdays. She hesitated, not that she felt uncomfortable, but suddenly thought of Wei Wei. Manyun's introduction echoed in my ears: This is the reed girl next to the prince......

It turned out that the people who took care of him could not only share him day and night, but also sleep together in the same room. She hadn't thought about it before, but now she didn't know where the sourness came from.

If you say that it is so difficult to let go, is it really that hard?

She touched the dense winter plum under the neckline again, this dress is also Miss Wei's. In front of him, he couldn't help but see Wei Wei moving out of Hanzhang Courtyard with a small baggage, there was no anger in his eyes but he was full of loneliness, what he liked should be such a woman, innocent and graceful.

"What's the hell you are thinking about!" Seeing her stunned in place, he turned in, and after a while, he said, "The clothes are new, and no one has worn them." If you don't go to sleep again, do you want to sleep with this king? ”

She hurriedly jumped on the couch, wrapped in a warm and silky quilt, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.

It turned out that Shen Muchi didn't even make a sound when he slept, and when she passed by the rooms of her fathers and brothers, she could always faintly hear their snoring, so she thought that men would make strange noises when they slept, but Shen Muchi couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. Even though the first snow of the winter had fallen outside the house, but the room was as warm as spring, she walked to his bedside on tiptoes, and squatted down by the faint candlelight to look at him carefully, and made sure that he was breathing evenly and was asleep, and she helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, and then quietly returned to the couch. Thinking about it carefully, he completely began to perform the duties of his personal maid, whether this little couch was cast a spell, thinking about this, he actually laughed.

The next day, when the sun was shining in the room, Cai Ling gradually opened her sleepy eyes, squinted for a while, and suddenly jumped up, "It's broken."

"Something is broken." Shen Muchi wrote outside the house.

"Wake up too late." She replied as she dressed and put on her shoes in chagrin.

"Your nephew has already taken the medicine. Today's state is good. He slipped a letter into an envelope and handed it to his subordinates before entering the back room.

"Didn't that kid mention me?" She was combing her hair, with long dark brown hair slightly curled, fluttering around her waist, like a fairy in a painting, he knew she was beautiful, but he was still attracted by this pale green figure, and he didn't hear what she said.

"Your Highness?" She looked away from the bronze mirror, turned her head and asked again, "Did Yuan'er mention me?" ”

"Not really. I only read a few words of 'mother, aunt', this child is not close to you. He said it very bluntly.

"In the end, it's closer to Mingyue." Cai Ling smiled with relief.

……

When Biluo came, Cai Ling was asking him for medical advice in Jiang Taichang's house, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile when they talked about the wonders. Suddenly, I heard the noise outside the courtyard, and I heard the little master say that Miss Biluo was asking to see her outside the courtyard, and asked the guards to stop her.

Cai Ling didn't want to go through this troubled water, but the girl who had no choice but to take care of Yuan'er came to spread the word, saying that the little boy woke up and was crying and looking for his aunt.

Cai Ling's face sank, "My life is almost lost, and I still have the heart to find my aunt." This child is used to crying, crying, who is afraid of him! ”

"This is not the time to discipline children. How to recuperate from restlessness? Jiang Taichang frowned, and got up to check it out as he spoke.

Cai Ling hurriedly followed, but she had to cross the courtyard to go to the West Chamber from Jiang Taichang's house, and she was already walking fast, but she still collided with Shen Muchi. When they looked at each other, a soft voice with a crying voice sounded outside the Zhu Gate, "Your Highness, the concubine is very worried about you." ”

Cai Ling pointed to the door with her head, and Shen Muchi paced over. No matter how Biluo begged for it, Shen Muchi only comforted him, his tone was gentle, but his face was cold, and he never let the guards open the door of the half-silk room.

Cai Ling came out of Yuan'er's room, and happened to meet this pair of 'hard-working mandarin ducks'.

Cai Ling retreated into the house again, Jiang Taichang was telling the little master how to dispense medicine, without raising his head, and said to Cai Ling, "Turbidity hurts the body, since the child has settled down, don't keep running into this house." ”

She said a few "yes" before making sure there was no sound outside the house before going out again.

"Little four." Unexpectedly, Shen Muchi was still standing in the courtyard.

In the scorching cold wind, although he was wearing a big coat, he was still thin, a little snowflake fell on his black hair, and the crown of white jade hair was moistened by the snow, so he stood tall and called her softly.

She had just come out of the warm pavilion, and she was going to run back to Jiang Taichang's house, so she didn't even have a cloak, but now she didn't feel cold, she just looked at him with her head up, and suddenly felt that she should strike first, "It's really sorry to let you two separate." But Master Jiang said that we only need to stay here for a month. Seeing that his face sank like water, the rest of his words were so low that he couldn't hear them, "Two months at most." ”

"Little four, come here." Shen Muchi beckoned to her.

She suppressed her uneasiness, and as soon as she walked up to him, he unfolded one side of the big and wrapped her in the big with his body heat, and she exclaimed, and he just looked at her with his head down and a little ruffian, and by the way pulled her closer to his chest.

It is in this affectionate vein that is like a dream, as if waiting for the perfect moment of thousands of years, Cai Ling's mind is hot and angry! She was naturally not a calm child when she was a child, but later followed a group of treacherous and cunning people to do business, Lao Cai taught her to meet her intentions, Song Shicong taught her to meet the source, Yuan Jie told her to accumulate thick and thin, and even He Yue hinted that she endured humiliation and burden, and she has been reborn over the years and gradually learned to protect herself.

But that slap was really loud, the courtyard was empty, and he hit it, even if he made five finger prints on King Qin's face, it was just a slap in the face by him. But the girl in the prince's house was astute, so she rushed out of the house and saw her hand still standing in mid-air.

Shen Muchi pushed her out, she tripped over the big horn, and the person almost flew out and fell into the thin snow. Shen Muchi's smile had already changed to a cold face, but he didn't say anything or leave, staring down at her, waiting for an explanation.

Cai Ling has nothing to explain, she didn't mean to fight King Qin, now that she is in trouble, she is grateful to be rescued by him, and she has never thought of being disrespectful to him. But she was so angry that he was still entangled with the concubine one moment ago, and the next moment he came to her to show his charm.

In the moment he gave, she desperately wanted to pile up a smile, and then said, "The little hand slipped, accidentally grabbed the prince, please punish His Royal Highness", but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't force her face to laugh, and she couldn't say it. In the cold wind of hunting, her eyes suddenly ached, and two lines of tears slipped out.

What a weakness! She secretly scolded that this windy tears came at an inopportune time, it is better to admit her mistake ridiculously, even if you kneel and kowtow, it is better than crying. She hurriedly wiped it, and when she looked up again, the chill in Shen Muchi's eyes had disappeared.

"If you dare to speak wildly to the king's side concubine, it won't be this slap that can be ended." He threw it down and walked away.

Cai Ling didn't know why, and it wasn't until a few maids came to help, all of them covered up the disgust just now and changed to a look of pity, that she understood what Shen Muchi meant by what he said. These girls all thought that the prince had beaten the four girls for the side concubine. In this way, her little life is saved, the ancestral etiquette will not be mentioned first, if this matter reaches the ears of the queen mother, she is afraid that she will suffer how many boards!

The dead duck has a hard mouth, and in the end he can't grind his identity, power and kindness this time, and at dinner, Cai Ling still took the initiative to apologize.

He was eating a spoonful of tofu and didn't want to look at her, but she sandwiched a duck leg for him, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered softly, "Today's shot is too heavy, Your Highness forgives you." ”

"Forgiveness?" He returned the duck leg clip to her and asked, "This is the first time since he was born that this king has been beaten in the face!" Why should I spare you? ”

"What an unintentional mistake!" Cai Ling hurriedly defended, "I have been self-reflecting for a long time in the afternoon, and now I sincerely apologize." This time, Yuan'er was ill, and my aunt and nephew will never forget the kindness of His Royal Highness, and they will repay it if they have the opportunity. ”

"Go on." He was in a good mood.

"But His Highness is also at fault." Cai Ling trembled.

"This king is also at fault?" His eyes were like torches, and his face was as calm as water.

"Hmm." Cai Ling plucked up the courage and said, "It is not a secret that His Royal Highness was my intended person, but His Highness treated me very indifferently at the beginning, including my jealousy of Biluo and made many ridiculous things, His Highness must be clear." At that time, I was so trapped in it that I was in pain, and I was not treated well by you. Later, Jiang Men was implicated in the accident of the abolished prince, and I suddenly woke up, and from then on, I left all the troubles of not being able to ask, not letting go, and resenting for a long time, and people lived a little arbitrarily, I am very satisfied with the current state, isn't the prince? ”

"Nonsense!" He suddenly put his chopsticks aside, and after a moment asked, "Are you really like that?" ”

Cai Ling smiled with her eyebrows, some things were explained to each other thoroughly, and there was no need to twist them from now on, she really couldn't ask for it, and nodded: "I boldly guess that His Royal Highness is doing this to Cai Ling now, probably because of guilt, and the guilt is shallow." The prince wanted to make up for it, anyway, there was not much more than one person around, and there was no less person, so he wanted my wish for many years and gave a lot of care. But Your Highness, it really doesn't have to be like this. I've long since put it down. ”

"Don't want to be Princess Qin again?" He asked to the point.

Cai Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is my biggest crux." They all said that they couldn't ask for it, and they would let them leave if they couldn't let it go, and what would they do if they talked about 'Princess Qin'? She lowered her voice a few points, "In today's situation, the 'Princess Qin' is the future 'Crown Princess', not to mention the six palaces Fandai, even the deep palace walls make me very afraid, where is there a laugh in the east city and the west of the city, riding a horse and whipping a whip in the suburbs of Beijing, and being happy?" Your Highness and I have known each other since we were young, and we know my character. ”

He didn't speak for a long time, his brows frowned slightly, and she broke the silence, "So from now on, Your Highness doesn't have to treat me differently, in the past, I did a lot of outrageous things, and now I am annoyed, if Your Highness doesn't investigate, I will be so moved that I don't dare to hope for His Highness's kindness." ”

"Little four......" he suddenly spoke, "You can really let it go so easily?" Biluo she ......"

This must be an illusion, at that moment, she actually saw the unconcealable loss in his eyes, how could he be lost, he is the pride of the sky, the choice of the prince, his beloved is Biluo, Biluo is pregnant with his flesh and blood. She hurriedly interrupted, "I will not trouble Biluo in the future." will also avoid the reed girl. She didn't know why she mentioned Wei Wei, and she didn't have time to be annoyed, "I just ask Your Highness to let me go when he is in power." ”

He finally listened sadly, and did not say anything, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "This king has been waiting for many years for your words. ”

After a while, Cai Ling smiled and said, "If it was the first time we met, I didn't have any thoughts about His Highness, it would be excellent!" ”

He glanced at her, but didn't answer.

At this time, a maid hurriedly came and spread the word that Yuan'er was critically ill. Cai Ling had to stand up, and before she had time to say a word, she hurriedly ran to the west wing.
