Yaqi didn't know when she figured it out.

Maybe it's... Every time she longed for him to come to her, and every time he would bring medicine to treat the wounds on her face. Rao was covered with powder, but he could still see it at a glance.

In fact, the traces are already very faint, just a little, if you don't stare at her face carefully, you won't notice it.

Although Yaqi has never been a person who cares a lot about her appearance. But she is always beautiful, there is a boy who secretly picked fruit for her when she was a child, and there is also a child who wrote sour poems.

But she liked him.

Liu Gongzi... When I was young, I was actually a shy boy. Sometimes she's not so gregarious, but always sneaks into her and laughs.

Their childhood sweethearts started in the evening.

The sunset that night was fiery red, and the houses in the distance were red. She accidentally fell on the edge of a dirt pit, and he was taken back by her.

They were about the same age, and boys and girls were about the same size when they were younger.

He had to carry a girl who weighed about the same weight as himself, and it was still difficult in the end. But in a moment, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Xiao Liu..."

Naturally, Yaqi noticed the beads of sweat on his forehead. Remembering that the other children were calling him like that, Yaqi followed suit.

"You don't have to carry me. Actually, it's the same if you hold me, so you won't be so tired. ”

She was reluctant, but she was able to walk.

"It's different."

Liu Gongzi's eyes flashed with a hint of perseverance, and he said seriously: "I am a boy, I should protect you." I'm different from those who only know how to pick fruit and write things for you. ”

Yaqi was silent at that time, and a different kind of warmth flashed in her heart.

Some of the boys next to her were good to her, and she actually knew it. But... She didn't actually feel anything. After all... We're just playmates with each other.

It's just that... Today's words made her feel a little different.

Yaqi thought about it again and again, and said, "Xiao Liu, it's the first time I've heard you say so much." Well... You're going to have to play with everyone more in the future. ”

"It's okay, I'll take you with me."

Yaqi knows.

Xiao Liu Si is literate, sometimes he is not bold enough, so he just stays silently aside. But it doesn't matter, he'll have her in the future.

…

Yaqi recalled the past, and somehow she always felt a vague memory in the past, but now it became clear again.

But she couldn't fully remember when she started to expect him so strongly. The future she imagined could be without him.

Maybe... It's from the disappointment after disappointment.

Yin Zhen looked at Yaqi who was kneeling silently on the ground seriously and looked at it for a long time.

"Whatever your choice, I will respect your choice. You're her best friend, and I won't keep you bound because of the rules. ”

Yin Zhen thought for a while and said, "But." In my opinion, as you say, he is not your beloved. A few days ago, I also saw the list of children in the capital who tried to show talents. ”

"I know that he won the show, and I specially found someone to adjust the article to read it, and it is also stable."

"Hmm."

Yaqi replied gently. She actually knew about it.

She... I once asked Xiaoshunzi privately to inquire. Rao has already made a decision in his heart, but he still can't help but want to know what choice he will make.

"He's at the door of the house right now."

Yin Zhen looked at the somewhat silent look, and said, "If you want to see him, now..."

"The slave knows." Yaqi raised her head, looked at Yinzhen with a straight face, and said, "It's just... Since you have decided to give up, you will not be so entangled. ”

"But there are some things that the slave still has to make clear with him."

Somehow... Don't go to the door of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion like this in the future. There was no light on his own face, and it even ruined the reputation of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion.

"Well, there you go."

After Yinzhen finished instructing, he asked Su Peisheng to go out with Yaqi, and called Xiao Shunzi by himself, and asked him to go to the dining room to prepare dinner.

Su Peisheng felt bitter in his heart.

Why is it that every time this kind of thing happens, he is the one who suffers?

At the gate of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, Liu Gongzi still refused to leave. He first begged the two guards at the door to help him pass the word, but then saw that the guards refused, so he simply didn't leave.

A pair... To shout at the door of the fourth elder brother's mansion.

It's a pity that before he could open his mouth to shout, he was directly subdued by the two guards guarding the door and fell to the ground.

"This is the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, and you can't be presumptuous."

The guard held down Liu Gongzi and said, "If you know each other, leave quickly." ”

They chatted with Liu Gongzi on this day, although it was quite speculative. But to be honest, they still know what to do in advance.

The meaning of the fourth elder brother is very clear, and he will not marry Miss Yaqi to him. I don't know why this person is still stalking.

Could it be that he thinks that the fourth elder brother has a good temper? Or do you think that in front of the Emperor's Mansion, you can also play casually?

"Hmm... Hmmm! ”

Liu Gongzi still wanted to struggle to speak. It's a pity that he was pressed to the ground, and his mouth was full of dust.

Yaqi and Su Peisheng came out at this time.

"Let him go." Su Peisheng said lightly, and the two guards let go of their hands slightly when they heard it.

Yaqi walked down the stairs slowly, and when she came to Liu Gongzi, she looked at him seriously and said, "You go back." We... Call it a day. ”

Liu Gongzi, who originally got up and was patting the dirt on his body, was stunned. She stared at Yaqi blankly, barely believing her ears.

"That's it?"

Liu Gongzi muttered to himself, thought seriously for a long time about what he meant by this, and then reached out to grab Yaqi's arm and asked, "Is it that the fourth elder brother disagrees?" ”

"It's a matter between us, why is he so stopping? Yaqi, if you are persecuted, I..."

"What are you?"

Yaqi asked rhetorically, "Can you still go to Yingtianfu to report to the official?" The palace maid must stay in the palace until she is twenty-five years old before she can leave the palace, this is also a palace rule, what can you say? ”

"Besides, this time, it's not that the fourth elder brother won't allow it. It's myself... I don't want to be entangled with you anymore. Actually, your mother doesn't approve of the matter between me and you, doesn't she? ”

"No, no."

Liu Gongzi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I only came here after I persuaded her." You know, my mother, she has always liked you! ”

Yaqi silently lowered her head, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Nope. When I came home on the New Year's Day, I heard it all. ”
