The pale pink natural crystal is like condensing the tears of the merman, the crystal crystal reflects the wisps of soft and beautiful clear light, and the broken shadows flow on the black velvet under the crystal cherry blossom hairpin, like a very quietly shining galaxy, surrounded by the night that cannot be dissolved by ancient ink.

The tassels that hang down are the style of cherry blossom petals, and the finely carved cherry blossom petals are scattered with fine light and shadow, and Xu Shen stares at the cherry blossom hairpin resting in the velvet gem box, and the originally bright star eyes are dull at this moment. He looked at the crystal cherry blossom in front of him, which was not very luxurious, but ingenious, and it contained his unspeakable affection for Nan Zuisheng.

That's right, unspeakable.

From the moment he cooperated with Dong Mengsheng, when the bullet was shot deep into Nan Zuisheng's flesh and blood, Xu Shen forever lost the qualification to chase and love Nan Zuisheng.

The flower language of cherry blossoms is life, waiting for you to come back.

It symbolizes romance, hope, and purity.

There was a faint mockery between the gorgeous eyebrows, Xu Shen picked up the cherry blossom and shook it, hooking up the pale red lips and smiling bitterly: "Pure ......" Nan Zuisheng's miserable face because of the pain of the gunshot wound involuntarily appeared in his mind, he raised his hand and put it in his heart, only to feel the slightest wisp of indescribable pain in his heart.

He has long fallen into the abyss of sin and filth for the sake of the interests of the country and the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Pure --- is an existence that Xu Shen has long abandoned.

It's a beauty he doesn't deserve.

"Her Royal Highness the Prince, Her Royal Highness the Queen has summoned you to go and talk about it." The purple-clothed maid lifted the beaded curtain of the inner hall, and her voice was soft and tactful.

"Hmm." Xu Shen heard the words and collected thousands of thoughts in his heart, he carefully put the cherry blossoms between his fingers back into the velvet jewel rosewood box, when he raised his eyes, he was still the noble and elegant crown prince of the cherry country, and there was no trace of sadness and compassion on his gorgeous face, some were just cold and alienated.

This should have been the real aristocratic demeanor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Noble, but cold and indifferent, like a lotus flower blooming alone on an iceberg in the snow ridge.

The palace road paved with white marble was scattered with pieces of roses and red, Xu Shen stepped over these petals expressionlessly, and the red flower juice was crushed on the white marble masonry. The gorgeous layered costumes in the palace were too cumbersome, and he still wore the pure white suit dress, and the cuffs were embroidered with the dragon flowing clouds that showed the status of the royal prince.

The purple-clothed maid --- the summer evening and quietly followed behind Xu Shen.

Because of the recurrence of the old illness on his body, he returned to his residence to recuperate and rest, so he was only left on duty today in the summer evening.

The lilac silk satin palace dress embroidered with petal magnolia flowers is elegant and exquisite, which is enough to show the extraordinary rank status of the summer evening, she followed behind Xu Shen with her eyebrows, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally raised her head with determination, and looked at Xu Shen's slender and clear back: "His Royal Highness the Prince, slave maid...... The slave wants to ask you a question. ”

As for what the question was, Xia Wan didn't say much.

Because she needed an answer first.

A reply that allowed her to ask.

"Say it." Xu Shen's footsteps did not stop.

"The slave wants to ask you...... What happened to Miss Nanda's injuries? Did the surgery go well? Xia Wan carefully asked Xu Shen carefully with her words, in fact, she had a lot of questions in her heart that she wanted to ask, but because of the noble status of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Xu Shen, she didn't dare to say more, so as not to offend and encroach on the class gap between them.

A rose petal was trampled under Xu Shen's feet, and the crushed saffron juice was soaked in the white marble masonry, like the remains of a rhododendron crying blood.

The slender and clear figure suddenly froze on the road of the white marble palace, Xu Shen raised his eyes to look at the pale white sky, the cloud veins and the sky lingered together, and he couldn't tell whether it was a cloud in the sky or a cloudless sky.

"You're worried about her?" The low and soft voice quietly flowed in the silent atmosphere, and Xu Shen did not directly reply to Xia Wan's inquiry, but asked such a somewhat clueless sentence.

"Well, the slave is very worried about Miss Nanda." Xia Wan replied very frankly, without the slightest hesitation.

Xu Shen turned around, his starry eyes clearly reflected the beautiful and delicate face of Xia Wan, his gaze was tightly locked on Xia Wan's beautiful and clear eyes, where he did not find any flickering traces of dodge.

The purple-clothed maid in front of her was still so sincerely worried about Nan Zuisheng, and he Xu Shengui was the crown prince of a country, but he shamelessly took advantage of Nan Zuisheng and made a private deal with the girl's already weak body.

It was only at this moment that Xu Shen really felt the meaning of the word 'unworthy'.

He doesn't deserve it.

With a cold and sarcastic smile on his pale red lips, Xu Shen slowly withdrew his sharp and probing gaze and looked at the rose petals on the white marble masonry that were ruthlessly crushed by himself: "Why worry about her?" Miss Nanda has a noble status, and she is very different from you. She is the eldest lady of the hundred-year-old family, and you are just a maid in the decaying palace. ”

Xia Wan is a smart person, and she sensitively captures Xu Shen's words.

It's 'you', not 'you'.

It seems that the matter between her and the clerk has always been in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The pearl earrings hanging on the side of the face have long been a little old, and although the yellowed pearls have lost their white and lustrous Huaze, they still set off the classical beauty of the summer evening: "The slave knows that compared with Miss Nanda, it is just a firefly chasing the moonlight." But the eldest lady treats people sincerely and kindly, not like the arrogance and arrogance of ordinary daughters, and her eyes are empty. ”

At this point, Xia Wan smiled slightly, and countless fragments of warm time seemed to pass in front of her, playing scene after scene like a movie replay: "The slave and maid can't say what it feels like, but in the days when she gets along with Miss Nanda, the slave and maid feel very relieved." ”

Peace of mind is a simple word.

But it is difficult to really do it.

Peace of mind needs to be built on the basis of trust, without trust to get along, people will always walk on thin ice and watch out for each other.

Although there were some things that Xia Wan did not say explicitly, Xu Shen understood.

"You're right, it's really reassuring to be with her...... It's also very warm. The gorgeous eyebrows were shrouded in the glimmer of day, Xu Shen blinked his starry eyes lightly, and the crushed red rose juice under his feet for a moment, when it passed by in front of his eyes, it was like Nan Zuishen's soft and delicate lips.

Myself...... I'm afraid it's not enchanted.

Xu Shen laughed at himself and mocked himself.

"Let's go." He looked at the light and shadow of the queen's palace not far away, the construction style of the Sakura Imperial Palace was retro, but it revealed the gorgeous mystery of the European-style court. Although there is no ingenious Feige Liudan, Biwa Zhuyong, but the pure white gilt palace from a distance, it is enough to bring people a shocking vision.

In the future, she will not come back.

Xu Shen said silently in his heart, and said the same words lightly with thin lips: "In the future, she will not come back." Before the words fell, he reverted to the graceful and luxurious, but noble and alienated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the past, and since he and Nan Zuisheng had severed the possibility of developing a relationship, then he would become a qualified monarch in the future.

Lonely, but powerful.

In the summer evening, he followed Xu Shen behind him and walked through the prosperous and long white marble palace road, the rose bushes on both sides of the palace road were enchanting and gorgeous, and the red petals exuded a rich fragrance. She raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Xu Shen's lonely and clear back, and secretly sighed in her heart.

Some people miss it and never look back.

The Queen's Palace continues the magnificence that the Imperial Palace of the Sakura Kingdom has always admired, compared with the peony agarwood in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, the bead curtain is green, and the furnishings in the Queen's Palace are more dignified and elegant. Peony is the first of a hundred flowers, but Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sakura Country does not like peonies, she likes the hibiscus that breaks the water in the lotus pond.

Depicting the pine branch rockery, the side of the flowing water bridge, the beauty sits alone in the painting-style porcelain jar planted with a few slim hibiscus, the end of July and the beginning of August is the season when the hibiscus is in full bloom, the blue lotus leaves are not in the center of the arch supporting the pink and white cascading petals of the hibiscus, the pale yellow at the stamen reveals the seven orifices of the lotus root, the fragrance of the fragrant and elegant hibiscus flowers is soaked in the palace, and the smell is reassuring.

Xu Shen walked into the inner hall of Her Royal Highness the Empress, and her nose lingered with the Qingfen of Hibiscus: "Queen Mother." He knelt down on one knee in a graceful posture and stood in front of Her Royal Highness the Queen.

"What are you doing standing silly, come on, and look at these wonderful hibiscus in full bloom." The queen smiled lightly, she raised her arm and called Xu Shen softly, and the golden hairpin in the bun was also a half-open style of hibiscus. The end of the tassel that hangs from the ear is embellished with rubies, and the intricately carved rubies are in the style of the swimming carp, and the tail is vividly swinging on the queen's ears.

The few hibiscus flowers in the porcelain jar are lotus flowers, but Her Royal Highness has never called them 'lotus', she only likes to call them 'hibiscus', or 'Hanlian'.

Xu Shen once asked, why don't you call it 'lotus'?

But Her Royal Highness did not reply, but only smiled softly at the corners of her lips.

Although the pink and white petals are not as beautiful as roses, when the whole hibiscus blooms among the green lotus leaves, the unearthly beauty is enough to shock people's hearts. The world always loves those otherworldly temperaments, and Fleur has such an innate unearthly temperament.

Xu Shen lowered his eyes and stared at the porcelain jar placed on the brick and stone, and there was the light and shadow of the red carp flicking its tail swimming in the clear water: "Queen Mother, why do you only like to call it hibiscus?" As far as I know, the lotus flower is its long-standing name, and it is also familiar to the world. He crouched down and touched the water with his fingertips, and the teasing koi swam over and pecked hard.

The ripples rippled on the water, and the hibiscus in full bloom also trembled slightly, and a few drops of dew still condensed in the stamens, slowly flowing in the water with the tail flicking of the koi fish.
