Xiaolian inquired, and she said that Zhou Mubai is now taking over the position of Mr. Yu's assistant painter in the painting hall, and is responsible for the daily painting of the ladies in the painting hall, which can be regarded as a kind of promotion. He also said that because of his excellent performance in the crown ceremony, he would paint and preserve the large banquets in the palace.

On that day, my brother arranged for me to go to the palace to say goodbye to Yun Yi, and specially emphasized to me that he wanted to hide it from Yun Wei, and he didn't know that I was going to Yudu. He said that Zhou Mubai would also go to send paintings to Yun Yi that day, so I could meet him there and say goodbye.

I asked Yun Yi, "You and Xin Kejia?" ”

Yun Yi's attitude was much more resolute than Xin Kejia: "Aru, I have thought about it, if he insists on going to the border, then I will accompany him, and I will not want anyone except him." ”

"Well done."

"Aru, you like Zhou Mubai, right?" She asked me.

I nodded slightly.

"When I was in the wind capital, I saw it." She smiled slightly, "He is waiting for you in the apse, there is no one else there, you go, if you have anything to say, just tell him!" ”

"Thank you!"

"Let's go!"

As soon as I was about to go to the apse, a servant girl hurriedly came in and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. ”

"Did he say anything?"

"It's coming soon."

"He should know that you entered the palace, wait a minute." Yun Yi said to me, and instructed the maidservant, "Tell Master Zhou that you don't have to wait any longer, and I will personally go to the painting hall to ask him another day." ”

"Whoa."

"It's here, why are you still hiding it from me." Yun Wei looked at me as soon as he came in.

"The prospective princess you picked can provoke the court to impeach the meritorious Xin family, not to mention Aru, who has a special identity now." Yun Yi said.

"Yunyi, I have something to say to Aru alone."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had better pay attention to proportion, otherwise that prospective sister-in-law will know, and even Ah Jia will be able to move, let alone Ah Ru!" Yun Yi said as she left.

When there were only the two of us in the hall, the air first stood still for a moment, and then he first said politely: "There are so many things to deal with these days, I haven't had time to see you yet." Don't be sad about General Xin, I have already played my father's throne and posthumously sealed General Xin..."

"Daddy has never been for these vain names, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

"Ajia's business, I'll hold it down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Aru, in those days, I wronged you, Feng Luohe didn't do anything to you, right?"

I bowed my head slightly: "Aru can't do it, and I don't crave His Highness's favor and love." ”

"Did he touch you?"

"It's not because of this, it's because Aru has—" I looked up at him, and finally swallowed back the phrase "I like someone else".

"Already—what's wrong?"

"Daddy arranged a family affair for me before he died, and Aru will go in a few days, and I won't worry about His Highness in the future." I knelt down before him and bowed to him.

"Where?"

"Yudu."

"As long as you are willing to stay, the position of the crown princess can still be yours, you know that I have you in my heart!" He looked down at me and said.

"Aru—I don't want to."

He looked down at me for a long time, and then asked in a tone that sounded relieved, "Who is Yudu?" ”

"The young master of the rain is Yu Muheng."

"Then will you marry him?"

"Do you want Aru to go."

"Good!" He didn't say anything more, and this deep voice was probably the last thing I said to him in my life. It's time for the joy of youth to come to an end.

After Yun Wei left, I disguised myself as Yun Yi's maid and secretly went to the painting hall, I still don't know what Zhou Mubai thinks in his heart, I have to understand what he means.

I will decide the rain, but I will decide whether to marry or not.

When I went, he was standing behind the screen giving a lecture to the ladies, and although I could only see the shadow behind the screen, I thought it was beautiful.

It wasn't until everyone had left at the end of class that I walked in and went around the screen to see him.

He was startled for a moment, then smiled at me.

I said, "Zhou Mubai, do you want to go home?" Shall I go home for you and see? ”

"Y-you're going to the rain capital?" He asked softly.

"Well, go and see the place where Zhou Mubai grew up, the capital of painting."

"Very good!"

"Do you still want to be the master of the Painting Hall now?" I whispered to him, "I want to hear the truth." ”

He looked at me and nodded, and said the word "think" solemnly.

Actually, I didn't want to hear that word, but I heard it anyway. I thought I was mentally prepared, but I didn't want my nose to be sour, so I sniffed and said, "When my father left, he said that he had arranged a family affair for me in the rain." ”

"Who?"

"Xi Xi Tang Yu Mu Heng."

He was taken aback, how could it be so wrong? I just remembered that Lu Xiangping had told me before that Zhou Mubai was actually the illegitimate son of Yu Zhanyou, the master of Xixi Hall.

"When are you leaving?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Aru!" He suddenly reached out and hugged me, I think he loves me, but more than he loves me, he wants to be a well-known painter, his dream of being the first painter in the world.

He said softly: "Aru, can you wait for me for three years, after three years, I will become the master of the painting hall, and I will return to my hometown in fine clothes, and marry you in the beautiful scenery and rain." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you at your home, the Orange Painting Garden." I smiled with tears in my eyes, "Aru will also work hard to practice painting skills, and I will miss you more every time I paint a painting in the future, and I will also become a good painter in the future." ”

"Well, if I didn't become the master of the painting hall for three years, and I didn't get rid of the identity of this proton, you would marry someone else!"

"Good!" I nodded, hot tears flowed from my closed eyes, "Zhou Mubai, I can't bear you." ”

"I'll see you back to the soul, I will."

Looking at the increasingly heavy sky, I finally sobbed and said out of nowhere: "Zhou Mubai, can you not be the first painter?" Can you not? Let's go back to the rain together, let's go back to the rain together to paint, okay? I want to be with you. There are so many things that have happened in this world, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for you. And then my whole life was like that, without color. ”

"No, believe me, believe in Zhou Mubai, Ruru. You just thought that when you learned something in the Orange Painting Garden, Zhou Mubai would come back. ”

I was eighteen years old, and I left the place where I had lived for eighteen years with the sadness of parting, and since then I have never returned, and indeed never to die. I'm going to a place called Yudu, which is said to be a sacred place for painting that everyone who loves painting dreams of. I love Zhou Mubai, so am I a person who loves painting?

Count it out! Who knows if you like someone because you love the house and Wudi like him, or because you like something that you can't love, so you love the person who brings you infinite expectations sadly?

The humility of not being able to love has taught me thoroughly in the three years in Yudu, the resentment of being truly fed to the dog, and the original "cynical" should not be a derogatory term.
