The day to return to Beijing has arrived, and the day is clear and cloudless, and although it is cold, the air is fresh and refreshing.

On the official ferry of Jianye City, the honor guard of King Langya has been prepared, and three big ships have put down the gangplank, one carrying King Langya, Murong Jia, etc., and the other two are Wang Qing and King Langya's personal soldiers, waiting for the order to be opened.

On the wharf, the officials of Yangzhou Mansion saw off King Langya under the leadership of Wang Dao, and Xie Cheng and the Xie clan also came to Guandu early.

Everyone said goodbye to King Langya one by one and said beautiful words.

Xie Kun and Xie Bao brothers also said goodbye to their uncles and elders respectively, and Xie Cheng instructed his nephew.

This return trip through the waterway to the land, the official ship honor guard, naturally has the majesty of the prince, all the way to the mountains and rivers, the beautiful scenery and customs on both sides of the strait are also in full view.

Naturally, everyone on the boat is also indispensable for piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry, and occasionally rests on the shore, and Cha Yong sends people to supply from time to time along the way.

The boat is getting closer and closer to Luoyang City, the river is beginning to freeze, and it is about to turn to land, and Yi Xue's mood is getting heavier and heavier, and she has an even more difficult road to go next.......

Mu Yixue stood alone on the bow deck, staring at the tumbling water splash motionlessly, as if thoughtful, although her eyes were cold, her face was still peachy, and under the illumination of the slanting sun, she was flushed, and this silhouette was really beautiful.

Sima Jingwen silently looked at Yi Xue infatuatedly.

"Yun'er has always been respectful and polite to me, and she always has a sense of rustiness, is there really no place for me in her heart?"

Thinking of this, Sima Jingwen was full of taste........

At this time, Zhou Rong saw that Yi Xue was facing the wind, a pale cyan cloak, looking a little thin, so she persuaded: "Girl, the wind is strong on the bow of this boat, let's go back." ”

Yi Xue nodded.

Seeing that Yi Xue was about to return to the cabin, Sima Jingwen stepped forward.

Zhou Rong saw King Langya coming over, gave Sima Jingwen a salute and quietly retreated.

Sima Jingwen untied the big coat on his body, draped it on Yi Xue's body, and said with concern: "Yun'er, the wind is strong on the bow of the boat, and now that it is the weather of the moon, beware of the wind and cold!" ”

Mu Yixue bowed slightly, gave Sima Jingwen a salute, and smiled shallowly at the corner of her mouth: "Lord Xie, Yi Xue is also a martial arts practitioner, and this bit of wind really doesn't matter." ”

Seeing Yi Xue's politeness, Sima Jingwen looked uncomfortable: "Yun'er, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, you have always been respectful to me, and deliberately kept a distance, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, why do you have to be so?" ”

"The prince is precious, the bow of the ship is windy, it's not good to catch a cold, let's go back and rest early!" Yi Xue didn't want to continue the topic with Sima Jingwen, so she said that she was going to return the big to Sima Jingwen.

"You've been in my heart all these years, don't you really know my heart?" Sima Jingwen eagerly stopped Yi Xue's movements.

In March in Jiangnan, they were busy with the Huaiyin grain case, and now that they are free, Sima Jingwen must say what is in his heart.

I saw that the corners of Yi Xue's mouth were slightly raised, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, she deliberately avoided Sima Jingwen's fiery gaze, and said lightly: "Yi Xue is grateful to King Langya for his love, but Yi Xue can't stand the friendship of the prince." ”

"Yun'er, you and I originally had a marriage contract, but I just made people, since I was a child, I have been devoted to you, and I have never changed, you have always been in the most important position in my heart."

Sima Jingwen said, beating his chest with his hand.

Mu Yixue heard Sima Jingwen express his emotions so bluntly, frowned slightly, didn't speak again, and moved his eyes to the distance, weeds and trees were reflected on the river surface on both banks, and a remnant sun spread on the river surface with red light.

After a moment of silence, Yi Xue relaxed her expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly:

"Lord Wang, it is to make people, why bother with this. Yun'er is dead, the marriage contract has long been annulled, and the prince has accepted Princess Yu, and there is no possibility between me and the prince. Now standing in front of you is Mu Yixue. ”

"Princess Yu is the mother of Empress Jia, Mrs. Guangcheng, as a matchmaker, the environment at that time, should protect the entire Langya royal family, and the concubine is also a helpless move, I respect the princess like a guest, but there is no true feeling." Sima Jingwen grabbed Yi Xue's wrist uneasily and explained.

Yi Xue glanced at Sima Jingwen's hand that was grabbing her wrist, her eyes were dark, and she responded indifferently: "It is normal for the princess of Langya to take a concubine, and you are not sorry for anyone." ”

Yi Xue's indifference stung Sima Jingwen, he squeezed the hand that grabbed Yang Yun, and said eagerly: "But I hope that the person who has always been by my side is you?" ”

"Yang Yun is already a dead man, and even if Yang Yun doesn't die, he is a chaotic minister and thief in the eyes of the world. Today's Mu Yixue is just an orphan girl rescued by the prince, a maiden who makes a living by selling arts, even if King Langya accepts a side concubine, she must be a noble lady of the gate, and Yi Xue's identity is afraid that she will not be able to enter the Langya Palace. ”

Sima Jingwen couldn't help but put his hands on Yi Xue's shoulders, and said firmly and sincerely: "Although I can't give you the position of concubine, I don't want to wronged you, I will give you a lifetime of true love and love." ”

Hearing Sima Jingwen's naked confession, Yi Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly, staring at him and asking:

"What kind of identity is the prince, even if he pays my life's true love and favor for me? Was you raised in Yalu as an outer room without a name or a concubine in Langya's palace? Even if you can't get on the family tree, you can't enter the clan, and you can't wait for the prince's love between the prince's concubine and the side concubine, does the prince really want this? ”

Yi Xue's words were something he hadn't thought about, yes, with her character, how could she be wronged like this, and did he really want to wronged her like this?

Sima Jingwen heard a twitch in his heart when he heard this, and he was about to suffocate, he really didn't know what to say.

Then Yi Xue breathed a sigh of relief, moved her gaze to Sima Jingwen's face, her eyes were firm and calm, and her tone was soft but full of sincerity:

"The prince must remember that there is no Yang Yun now, only the folk girl Mu Yixue, Yi Xue has no relationship with King Langya, and was rescued by the prince by chance, and was taken care of by the prince because of his talent. If Yi Xue really entered the Langya Palace, he would be recognized one day, and the Langya King would invite the disaster of the clan, and Yi Xue must not let the prince risk the clan for the sake of his children's selfishness.

What's more, I have a family feud, and I don't care about personal feelings for a long time, Yi Xue misses the prince's love for me, and is grateful to the prince for protecting me, King Langya belongs to the Sima clan after all, since it is absolutely impossible, why bother? It's better to be better with each other, this is the best for Yi Xue and the prince. ”

Mu Yixue smiled slightly after speaking, saluted Sima Jingwen, and turned to leave.

"If it's impossible, why bother?"

Yi Xue's words stung Sima Jingwen deeply, leaving him standing on the bow of the boat in a daze, messy alone in the cold wind.

And Murong Jia in the cabin here caught a glimpse of everything, and his mood was as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring, and he hummed a little song proudly.

Seeing that Zhou Rong and Qinghu looked like they were happy and enemies, he suddenly asked, "Zhou Rong, why is today's scenery extremely beautiful?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Rong was so confused by this inexplicable question that she didn't know how to answer.

"That's because today's Qinghu is very handsome." Hahaha.......

"Oh!"

Zhou Rong and Qinghu looked at each other.
