In the evening of the Butterfly Palace, the wind blows gently, Xi Yan and Xiyu Shizi sit in the pavilion by the lotus pond to read, the evening breeze blows the water surface and flows, everything is quiet and peaceful.

After a long time, Xiyu sighed and broke the silence, put down the book, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, as if he had something on his mind and looked into the distance.

Xi Yan was invited by Princess Lingji to accompany him, and he didn't plan to come, but he thought that the prince of Xiyu was going back to the fiefdom, so he still came to take a look.

Lingji went to the young lady of the Chi family for a while, and she hasn't come over yet.

Hearing Xiyu's sigh, Xi Yan asked, "Does the prince have something on his mind?" ”

Xiyu went to Yunmengguo with Xi Yan these days, and slowly became familiar with him, so she said, "Well, Zuo Overseer, do you have a favorite woman?" ”

Xi Yan nodded, looking at him a little weirdly, why did he ask this?

Yuyu Shizi said again: "Then how does she treat you?" ”

Xi Yan heard him ask about this, his heart was bitter, he had never confessed to Lingji at all, what could she do to herself, everything was just her own wishful thinking!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiyu asked again: "Zuo Overseer, do you know what it feels like to love someone, and you will be happy, lost, and painful for her one look and a word!" ”

In the past, he looked at him as a little abnormal today, and guessed that he must have happened to Lingji.

He said to him with some self-deprecation: "Shizi, how to say it, the person I like doesn't like me, that's just wishful thinking, and I probably don't even have the qualifications to be lost." ”

"Oh, who is there in this world who doesn't like the Left Overseer?" Xiyu looked at him, and suddenly seemed to forget his sorrow, compared to Xi Yan, he was much better.

Xi Yan didn't know how to talk about his troubles with this rival in love, and he couldn't tell him, at least he wasn't even a rival in love, as a rival in love, at least the other party knew his existence, but only he knew his intentions, such as some sad!

I don't know what happened to Xiyu Shizi and her, so he asked: "Originally, it was Shizi who came to talk to me, why did he say that my head was up, and I didn't need to say anything about my death, what is Shizi for?" ”

Yuyu's face was as warm as jade, and he stood up and paced a few steps in the pavilion, stopping before replying, "Alas, the Overseer knows about my marriage to Lingji, but now I don't know Lingji's mind!" As soon as I mentioned the marriage, she shirked it and said that it was too early, and although he was my fiancée, I felt that I didn't know her well anymore! You know how anxious my heart is! ”

It turned out to be for this matter, he didn't know what was going on between them, why Lingji would shirk it, did her heart not like Xiyu Shizi?

Will Lingji refuse the marriage?

Isn't he happy, so how can he let her go, and why should he give in!

He asked, "Shizi, did you mention this matter to him?" ”

"Yes, but the answer makes me uneasy."

……

In the distance, Princess Lingji and the young lady of the Chi family came over, and heard what the two of them were talking about from a distance, and the young lady who approached the Chi family asked, "Shizi, overseer, what are you talking about?" ”

Xi Yan pointed to the lotus in the water and said, "We are saying that the lotus in this water is about to wither." ”

Xiyu nodded and asked, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

Lingji said: "Not long after, some things were arranged by the way. “

Soon more than a dozen maidservants came to this pavilion with lanterns, and Xiyu said curiously: "Why do you carry so many lanterns?" ”

Lingji said: "It's time to eat soon, I'll eat here today, I called all the maidservants to take charge of the lamp." ”

The sky slowly darkened, the pavilion was full of lights, the wind at night was even cooler, and the water in the lotus pond was clearly swaying under the light.

After a few people finished eating, Lingji and the young lady of the Chi family played chess, and Xi Yan and Xiyu were sitting next to them watching the battle between the two!

Miss Chi saw that her game of chess was about to enter a dead end, so she put down her chess pieces and said: "There are so many military advisors today, Xiyu Shizi, Zuo Overseer, you two should talk about it, what can she do, can this game be saved?" ”

Xiyu said: "If I win this game, will there be a reward?"

Miss Chi said: "The prince also asked me for a reward, what does the prince want, it seems that I have to think about what reward to give to the prince." Miss Chi covered her mouth and chuckled.

"In this case, I have something to say to the princess, if I win for you, I will take her with me, how about it."

Chi Lian, the young lady of the Chi family, has always been friends with Ling Ji, and now when she heard the request made by the prince of Xiyu, she looked at Ling Ji with some apprehension.

When she came today, Lingji also told her that the prince of Xiyu proposed to Emperor Squid about getting married, and she didn't want to get married.

Lingji saw Chi Lian looking at her and smiled silently.

Chi Lianxin said: "Shizi, it's not easy for you to make an appointment with Princess Lingji, so I will promise you if you win this game of chess, presumably Princess Lingji will also sell me this face, if you lose, you can't make an appointment with her alone tonight, I am willing to lose the bet!" ”

Ling Ji smiled when she heard this, and said, "If you are willing to gamble and lose, then I will promise you." Come on, it's hard for me to win this game anyway. ”

This game of chess was played for an hour, and finally won under Yuyu's step-by-step victory.

Lingji stood up and picked up the lantern from the handmaiden's hand, and said, "Brother Yu, you won, if you have anything to say to me, let's go." ”

Yuyu stood up and took a lantern from a servant and followed her.

The night was silent, except for the sound of the two of them stepping on the bluestone slab.

Walking to this side of the lotus pond, Lingji stopped and looked at the pavilion in the distance, she couldn't see the past Yan and Chi Lian in the pavilion clearly, and said to her: "Brother Yu, if you have something to say, just say it here." ”

After a short silence, Xiyu said: "Lingji, I don't know what you think about our family affairs, I hope you can tell me frankly." ”

He wanted to ask her what she thought, Lingji was a little stunned, should I make it clear with him?

Xiyu saw that she was silent, and said: "Lingji, I want you to tell me my true thoughts, I think I don't know you more and more, you should know how much I care about you, you tell me, I can also return to the fiefdom with peace of mind." ”

"What do you want me to tell, Brother Yu, you should know my heart, you are my cousin, you want me to be your husband, I can't do it, I only have brother and sister affection for you, you are satisfied." Lingji said coldly, her temperament was already cold, and now when Xiyu asked this question, she was also angry in her heart, why did he want to hold her fiercely in the name of love.

Xiyu was a little incredulous when she saw Lingji's angry tone, Lingji said that she only had brother and sister affection for him, and his heart hurt so much.

Ling Ji looked at his somewhat pale face, and said with a soft tone: "I have no other way to choose, and I won't deceive you, my parents' orders and matchmakers' words, I accept it, maybe one day I will accept you, but now I can't do it."

So that's the case, his Lingji has always treated him as an older brother, but he doesn't want to be his older brother.

Xiyu has always been as gentle as jade, but at this time, she grabbed her hand abnormally and said, "I don't care what you think, I want you to know that I am your husband, and you have to remember my identity." ”

Lingji said coldly in displeasure: "Xiyu, it hurts, what are you doing, you calm down." ”

Xiyu heard her shout, let go of her hand, and was a little decadent: "Lingji, I'm sorry!" ”

Lingji sighed helplessly: "Forget it, if you have anything else to say, it's not too early." ”

Xiyu still wanted to say something, but she also felt that it was pale and powerless to say anything.

Xi Yan sat in the pavilion and chatted with Chi Lian, the young lady of the Chi family.

Xi Yan looked at the two lanterns in the distance, uncertain, and didn't know what they were talking about.

Chi Lian looked at Xi Yan thoughtfully.

Xi Yan looked at her and asked, "Miss Chi, what do you mean by looking at this Overseer like this?" ”

Chi Lian smiled back: "I heard Lingji say that you studied art together when you were young, and you spent half a year. ”

"Oh, what did she say?" Xi Yan didn't expect Lingji to mention him.

Chi Lian seemed to think of something far ago, and said: "I remember that she told me many times, probably that you didn't like kung fu when you were a child, and you were lazy all day long, but you easily defeated her when you were always competing, and once you were attacked by a fierce beast in the mountains, you saved her." And you came back from a strange injury, and she laughed at you for days, but then she cried for days when she learned that you were injured to avenge her......"

Unconsciously, he had so many memories in Lingji's mind, and the past words were a little unbelievable.

Seeing that he seemed to remember a long memory, Chi Lian smiled and said, "Overseer, what are you thinking, do you know what the prince is looking for Princess Lingji this time?" ”

"It's nothing more than that the son of Yuyu is reluctant to leave before parting." The past is a little bitter.

Chi Lian nodded and shook her head, and said to her, "That's right, it's not right." ”

"What do you know?" Xi Yan asked.

Chi Lian picked up the tea, saw that Xiyu's teacup was empty, helped him refill a cup, and said quietly: "The princess looks cold and is not swayed by some mundane things, but I understand her heart, today she told me that she doesn't like the son, and has always treated him as an elder brother, and she doesn't have that idea, but the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, she is helpless, and today the prince of the world went to Emperor Squid to ask for the marriage." ”

It turns out that Lingji is not as good as he imagined, and suddenly he feels a little sorry for Lingji, he has been running away from his own mind, and has always thought that his concession is the best ending, but Lingji is not happy!

He secretly decided that he must fight for himself, since the person Ling Ji loved was not Yu Shizi, then he must not give up Ling Ji.

"What is your purpose in telling me this?" Xi Yan asked Chi Lian.

"For Lingji's freedom, she should find someone he likes, this life is not long, I hope she can be happy, her life should not be grounded under her mother's life!" Chi Lian looked at the two lights in the distance, thoughtful.

"What can I do?" Xi Yan looked at her.

Chi Lian said: "I know, you can do it, just like you can risk your own life for her, I know you like her, you can't fool me!" There was a fool like you, who protected me like this! I know what that means, Lingji is a fan of the authorities. ”

Seeing that the two lamps in the distance have gradually come this way, the heart moxibustion of the past is as hot as fire!
