Prequel. Chapter 23 Lou Yihang meets
When I returned to the mansion in the capital, it was already dark, and because it was too late, I didn't want to eat, I just wanted to have a good rest, so I went straight to my house.
"Second sister, you're finally back, I'm almost going to miss you." As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw a figure pounce on me, and she used so much force that she almost knocked me to the ground.
I gently pushed her away, "It's only been a few days, aren't there Sister Wan and them at home?" ”
Xingyi pursed her lips, "Second sister, you know, I don't have a particularly good relationship with her. ”
I sighed, "Okay, I see, aren't I coming back now?" ”
I don't know why, Xingyi has been very estranged from Sister Wan since she was a child, she always tells me that Sister Wan is not as easy-going as she seems, she just doesn't want to have too much intersection with her, and I am also very puzzled, it seems that Sister Wan has nothing to mess with her.
Our four sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not the same biological mother, except for Su Minyang, Sister Wan and I are very good and compatible, Sister Wan treats everyone very caringly and warmly, after so many years, why does Xingyi just not like her? Even compared with Su Minyang, she said that she liked Su Minyang more.
"But I'm too tired today to go out, so we'll go play tomorrow."
After I said this, I made my bed and prepared to sleep, although it is not very far from Peach Blossom Village, but after such a long carriage ride, I am still a little tired, it's just that I will not go to that sad place again in the future.
After I was busy, I was about to fetch water to wash my face, and seeing Xingyi still sitting on the chair with a sluggish face, I looked at her and thought to myself, what's wrong today, dementia?
"Xingyi, what's wrong with you?" I poked her in the head.
She came back to her senses, smirked at me, and after a moment said to me, "That's right... That one... Someone asked you out because you weren't at home, so they came to me. ”
"Who?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Tombs."
I was amazed, "Lou Yihang? What does he ask me for? ”
Xingyi also showed a puzzled look, and said, "I don't know, he asked you to go to a place with him tomorrow." ”
"Where?"
"I don't remember much, what it was called."
"He asked me to do it, just me and him? Two people? ”
"It seems so."
When asked about the situation, I replied firmly, "I'm not going." After saying that, he was about to go out, but Xingyi grabbed me, "Hey, second sister, why?" ”
"Why should I go out with him? Do I know him well? ”
"But people came to the house to look for you, he was very sincere, I promised people, I will definitely ask you out, and I also told my father, and my father agreed, if you don't go..."
After Xingyi said this, she unconsciously lowered her head, and she didn't dare to look at me anymore.
"Xingyi, it's not that you don't know, Lou Yihang and I are not compatible at all, what good thing can he do if he asks me out, you just look at outsiders like this, and you don't help your sister and me?"
She walked over slowly, grabbed my sleeve, and said coquettishly to me: "But second sister, I have already agreed, if you don't go, how can I explain?" ”
I shook my head, "You're thinking about how to explain it to him?" Then when you promised someone, you didn't think about it, how to explain it to me? ”
She continued to lie coquettishly: "Sister, you promise me, you are the best for me, I don't want to lose my trust to others." ”
This Xingyi has never been so obsessed with one thing, even if she begged me to take her out before, she didn't keep telling me with such a dead face, it seems that this little clever ghost is really interested in Lou Yihang, but in this case, why did she help Lou Yihang ask me out.
"You care so much about what he thinks of you?"
"I care."
When she said these two words, there was no hesitation, and her eyes were full of determination, "Then you still help him ask me out?" Are you happy in your heart? ”
"I think he's very good to you, since that Ling Xie Yun is no longer there, you should forget about him."
I smiled bitterly: "I forgot him, what does it have to do with Lou Yihang?" ”
"He likes you! You can try, stay with him. ”
“???”
......
There were countless questions in my mind, and I don't know where she came to the conclusion that Lou Yihang would like me, and her body trembled a little because of her fear, "How can I be with him." ”
"Second sister, you just go, he just has something to say to you, and he won't do anything to you."
I looked at her sincere look, but in the end I couldn't resist her insistence, so let's just do it this time, I will never see Lou Yihang again in the future, so I should say goodbye to my former self.
"I promise you to go tomorrow, but not because of him, but for you. But this is the only time, and you are not allowed to agree to things without my consent in the future. ”
Xingyi was so happy that she almost didn't fly, and walked up to my face, "Got it, second sister, you're the best." ”
After sending her away, she slowly washed her face and clothes and prepared to sleep.
But the question was still turning in his mind, Xingyi said, Lou Yihang likes me, how can he like me? Didn't he hate me all the time? I remember before, Bai Lixuan also said that Lou Yihang likes me, whether he is true or not, even if it is true, it is absolutely impossible for me to be with him.
Lou Yihang, how can a person like him be my good match, he is the prince and the son-in-law, he is expected to inherit the throne, the emperor of the Ninety-Five, there are countless concubines, I don't want to live like that, guarding a room, waiting for him every day, I don't know when he will come to see me, and I have to bear the intrigue of the harem every day.
If it weren't for him, it would be King Ji, and King Ji would succeed him in the future, he would be King Ji's only brother, and his identity would be more valuable than other princes, and the identity of the Murong family in Nanyue was also extremely prominent, how could I marry such a man-in-the-fold person.
Thinking that he was misunderstood by his father and drank with Ouyang Junyu that day, he was so angry, if the object was Lou Yihang at that time, I am afraid that he would be eager to lock me up for the rest of my life, I think even if I like it one day, my father and mother must not agree.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sour in my heart, my family background is not good, and my family background is too prominent, what kind of person should I meet in the future, so that it will be as everyone wants. My father and mother are very reasonable in everything, but when it comes to making friends, they are so dead-eyed.
Sleep Wake Wake Up, Wake Up Wake Up Sleep Sleep...
I used to have so many dreams gone, but now I can't sleep because I think too much, and I always wake up unnaturally when I fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Xingyi rushed to my house and reminded me of the promise I had made to her yesterday, as if I had broken the contract.
After breakfast, I changed my clothes and walked out of the door, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a carriage parked, and there was a person next to him, dressed as a guard, I have some impression of this person, it is the person next to Lou Yihang.
"Miss Su, Your Highness asked me to pick you up."
I got into the carriage, closed my eyes all the way, thinking about what he was looking for me this time, I was still thinking about going back to Beijing to rest for a while, but I didn't think that as soon as I came back, I was sold to someone else by Xingyi, a girl.
After a short time, the carriage stopped, and the guard lifted the curtain and said to me, "Miss Su, Your Highness has gone to the palace of the queen mother in the morning, you should go to the palace and wait for a while." ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head, knowing that he wouldn't be well-intentioned, but I had come and gone, and I could only follow him.
This Lingwang Mansion is very quiet now, I can't hear any sound when I walk in, I don't pay attention to the decoration of his mansion at all, I don't have that thought, I don't know when he will come back, I just feel extremely bored.
"Take me to his study."
The man didn't say anything, but led me straight over, and when he was there, he stepped back.
His study is not very big, but there is a big bookshelf in it, there are no calligraphy and paintings, no books, and it is full of antiquities, which is very strange, and I really don't know what kind of person this Lou Yihang is.
I walked to the table, picked up a long painting that I was flipping through, and when I picked it up, my hands trembled with fright. The woman in the painting wears a light blue dress, a jade bracelet on her hand, her hair is gently pulled up, and she wears a hairpin studded with blue gemstones, but there are no other ornaments on her body.
Isn't this the outfit when Bai Lixuan and I went to the Ice Lake Garden that day? That hairpin was given to me by Bai Lixuan, did Lou Yihang see me in the capital that day?
How could he, put my portrait in his study, how could he, paint my portrait...
"Su Yi'er, I will marry you."
What he said that day suddenly wandered in his ears, and his brain suddenly couldn't react, this Lou Yihang, what does he mean, does he like me? Bai Lixuan didn't say that he and Murong Ling... How could he have a strange mind for me?
This is not good, I was targeted like that by the fifth princess at the beginning, isn't it that she thinks there is something between me and Lou Yihang,
No, no, how could he have such thoughts about me, it must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Su Yi'er, calm. ”
After saying this, there was a rush of footsteps in my ears, and I hurriedly looked out and saw Lou Yihang standing at the door with a confused face, staring at the painting.
Feeling that the air was filled with embarrassment, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to stand motionless in place, and he didn't move in front of him.
I slowly put the painting on the table, and after a few moments he came over and carefully put it away.
"Did you draw it yourself?"
I had a bunch of questions in my head, and I didn't know why I asked this sentence, as if I was deliberately wondering if he was painting me, I was very curious, but even I felt that this was too straightforward.
"If I didn't draw it, who else would it be?" He looked at me with a smirk.
"Su Yi'er, do you think it's strange that I painted your portrait?"
"I like you, don't you know?"
......
......
"I just entered the palace and saw my mother, and she said she wanted to see you."
