The heavy rain caused all the flowers in the garden to wither, but after the rain stopped, the sun came out a few days later, and many of them bloomed again. Although it is not as good as before, it is still competing for beauty and openness.

A pleasant sound of the piano wafted in the imperial garden, sometimes the hollow valley sounded, sometimes the spring water tinkling, like jade beads falling on the plate, the clear spirit beating on the listener's heart.

The song is over, Wei Yu can't help but be overjoyed, this is the best time she started to learn to play this song so far, she felt that this time the imperial sister would definitely praise her, so she asked brightly: "Imperial sister, how do you listen to me?" ”

Today, Wei Ning wore a silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, with soft eyebrows and eyes, and elegant temperament. She said gently: "I just saw that Zhiying listened attentively, why don't you ask him." ”

Zhiying was on the outer edge of the pavilion, and was stunned when she heard Wei Ning's words, and then her face turned red.

When Wei Yu saw his reaction, he laughed. "Sister Huang, you little eunuch is too interesting."

Because of listening to the piano just now, Wei Ning was in a good mood, so he ignored her.

Seeing that the imperial sister did not reprimand, Wei Yu became bold and called Zhiying into the pavilion, seeing that his thin body even looked wide on his clothes, she smiled: "You see that you are so thin, it must be that the imperial sister did not raise you well, and she only eats two dishes and one soup every morning." ”

As she was talking, her eyes rolled, and Wei Ning knew what trick she was going to play again, so she ignored her and left her alone.

Sure enough, Wei Yu said: "It's better for you to follow this princess, and pack you with fragrant food and spicy drinks every day, this princess will raise you to be white and fat, and then you will wear this dress to fit." ”

When Zhiying heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said while kowtowing: "Your Majesty is very good to the slave, and you give the slave a name, and the slave does not leave Your Majesty, and begs the princess to take back her life." ”

Wei Yu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yuzhu, pull him up, I'm joking with him, he's still serious, it's really stupid and cute." ”

Seeing this, Wei Ning smiled and said, "So, you might as well give him a piece of clothes that fit." ”

Wei Yu said: "Why don't you give it to him, obviously you are his master, Sister Huang." ”

Wei Ning said innocently: "Didn't you say that I was reluctant to spend money? ”

It was rare for Wei Ning to make a joke, and Wei Yu was blocked by her and had nothing to say, so he could only stare at his eyes and look aggrieved.

Zhiying had already stood up, as if his face was still a little rosy because of his behavior just now.

Wei Yu asked again: "Zhiying, what do you think of Princess Ben's play just now?" ”

Zhiying thought seriously for a while, and replied, "Back to the princess, it's very good." ”

Wei Yan couldn't cry or laugh. "Princess Ben knows it's good."

She said to Wei Ning: "Sister Huang, I don't want to talk to him, let's ask you." Although I gave up halfway through this song, it was still very difficult to pick it up again. It's too short, and it's good to practice to this extent. What do you think of me? ”

Wei Ning took a sip of tea and spit out four words: "Unsatisfactory." ”

Wei Yu asked, "What's unsatisfactory?" ”

"I won't talk about anything else, but I heard three wrong notes in the whole piece, and there are only two days left, so you have to practice hard."

Wei Yu couldn't help but admire: "The imperial sister's ears are so good, in fact, sister, do you think, if I don't attend the banquet, won't it be a shame for you?" ”

Wei Ning: "Just think about it, you still have to practice the piano." ”

Wei Yan showed a sad look on her face, and she spoke: "Sister Huang, you should care about your own marriage, don't always stare at me, you are older than me and haven't married yet, why do you have to ask me to marry?" ”

As soon as Wei Yu's words fell, everyone in the pavilion was shocked, no one expected Wei Yu to say such a thing.

Peiyu and Liuzhu were personally selected by the queen mother from among the palace maids and watched Wei Ning grow up. These words have often come to their minds over the years, and they always want to say them, but they don't know how to say them.

Not only because that person is the king of the country, the lord of a country, and holds the power of life and death, but more importantly, they don't know how that noble woman should find a suitable husband, how to marry, how to marry, and how to live her life like most women.

She's not an ordinary woman...

But they are worried, after this year, she will be twenty years old. For a woman, the most beautiful years are about to pass...

In an instant, the air in the gazebo stopped, and everyone seemed to hold their breath to hear what the most noble woman in the world would say.

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, no one knew what she remembered at that moment, but she heard her sweet and clear voice, as if with some kind of magic power, tearing at the hearts of those present. "The matter that my father gave to the imperial sister has not been completed, and the imperial sister can't do anything else now."

Wei Yu didn't stop, and asked tightly, "Then when can you finish it?" ”

Wei Ning smiled lightly, a slightly powdered face showed an expression of unknown meaning, she was sitting there obviously so close to them, but it made people feel far away.

Wei Ning stopped Peiyu from making tea again, slowly drank the cup of tea that had cooled down, and said gently as usual: "I'm a little tired, go back first." ”

Along the way, Peiyu and Liuzhu silently followed behind Wei Ning, both feeling a little depressed, and they didn't dare to say a word, just lowered their heads and walked forward.

Until Wei Ning spoke: "Peiyu, I suddenly want to eat stewed bird's nest, you take the two of them back, and send them to the Council Hall when they are ready." ”

Peiyu, Liuzhu, and Zhiying bowed and retired.

As soon as the three of them left, Wei Ning called Ah Zhao out.

Ah Zhao appeared behind her, he also saw the scene just now, after listening to those words, he really admired the little princess, before this, I am afraid that no one had ever mentioned the word 'marriage' in front of his master.

Wei Ning didn't look back, just walked forward slowly, the skirt dragging on the ground slowly moving with her cloth. Ah Zhao heard her say, "Ah Zhao, have you ever been very tired?" ”

Zhao: "Yes. ”

"You don't understand what I mean..."She exhaled softly, paused for a while, and then she spoke again: "Eleven years, Ah Zhao, eleven years of inseparability, these years, without you, I can't hold on at all." ”

"It seems like I haven't done my own thing since a long time ago." She laughed again, like a lotus blooming in the pool, and people could only look at it from afar.

"Maybe it's only when I can't see the glazed tile roof in the palace, I can't smell the rich smell of ambergris, and I don't hear the vague words of my father before leaving. Lying in that cold wood, buried in the damp and cold soil..."Wei Ning suddenly stopped, stood in the corridor and looked up at the sky in the distance, the pavilions and pavilions overlapped, as if they were endless.

"Maybe only then can I not worry about the sound of the door opening at the fourth watch every day, I don't have to think about anything, and I can sleep quietly..."

Ah Zhao listened and listened, and finally couldn't help but say: "The princess will live for a hundred years." ”

Wei Ning turned to look at him, his eyes rippling, mixed with many things that Ah Zhao couldn't understand. "Ah Zhao, the world is unpredictable, what is absolute?"

Without waiting for him to answer, Wei Ning continued: "Let's go, Ji Yan should have arrived." ”

The words that Ah Zhao wanted to say swallowed instantly.

——————

Ji Yan sat in the hall with one movement, I don't know how long he waited, his eyes were straight in one place, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and a beam of light shone in through the door from outside the hall, just falling on the ground three feet away from him.

The tea on the table was already cold, and the palace maid Tingting came in to change the tea for him, and there was no sound during the whole process. And he didn't move as if he hadn't noticed.

Until there was a sound outside, and the footsteps came from far and near, and after a while, the toes of the shoes embroidered with begonias and the white skirt just stopped in the light.

He looked at it for a while, moved his gaze upward, and unexpectedly it was still the face that was as bright as spring and as beautiful as the autumn moon, but the face was calm, and it was difficult for people to guess their thoughts. Before she got married, she wore green silk in a bun, obviously she was still a girl, but once she saw her peach blossom eyes, she fell into it and couldn't come out again...

When he saw her, he habitually put on a vague smile.

Wei Ning glanced at it and immediately looked away, she dragged her long skirt to the top position, and after sitting down, she said, "Ji Yan, can you put away the expression on your face?" ”

Ji Yan still said calmly: "If this is His Majesty's order, Weichen will not dare to disobey." ”

Wei Ning smiled clearly, but his face was full of ridicule: "I know that the Ji family has been protecting the Wei family for generations, and has always been loyal to the Wei family, so naturally listen to me, after all, my surname is 'Wei'..."

Ji Yan frowned slightly, not knowing what he remembered, and said in a complicated tone: "Your Majesty..."

Wei Ning interrupted him and said, "It's good for Ji Xiang to remember who I am, don't hide it, do you think only you Ji Yan knows everything?" Do you think you can really hide anything from me? ”

Ji Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
