The stars shift, the sun and the moon alternate.

The roses in the white marble courtyard bloom and then gradually wither, and then bloom again after withering. The red rose petals are sometimes swept by the breeze and scattered all over the place, and sometimes they are coated with a layer of light and soft veil by the light gold fragmented light, and the rich fragrance always lingers in the palace courtyard, the only constant ---

It is the starry river flowing with a little bit of clear light and broken shadows.

There were more than seven days, but in just a week, Xu Shen felt that he had waited for nearly seven years, or half a century. He watched the sleeping beauty on the bed lose weight and weaken bit by bit, and although her fairy jade face was the same as before, her complexion no longer showed a healthy color like light cherry pink.

Until today, when he heard the clerk hurriedly running to report ---that Miss Nan had woken up, Xu Shen did not hesitate for a moment and left behind the mountains of government affairs in front of him.

Feige Liudan, when the eaves of the palace were close in front of him, Xu Shencai slowly stopped running in an embarrassed posture, and after he hurriedly tidied up his appearance, he walked leisurely and calmly and gradually met Nan Zuisheng's eyes. The beauty stands slim in the middle of the rose courtyard, and a smile can easily touch his heartstrings.

The palace was filled with the faint clouds that gathered and lingered from the pearls, Xu Shen stared at Nan Zuisheng who was reclining on the red sandalwood brocade couch, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said such a sentence: "In the few days that the eldest lady has been asleep, your brother Nan Fusheng has come to the palace of the Sakura Kingdom by plane to visit. ”

Xiu's narrow and slender jade fingers slowly curled up together, and Nan Zuisheng secretly sighed in her heart when she heard this, and finally waited for Xu Shen's words, but she still showed a look of surprise and joy on her face: "What did you say?" My brother came to visit me in the Sakura Imperial Palace during my sleep? ”

Before the words fell, Nan Zuisheng stood up suddenly, the moon-white cherry blossom palace skirt dragged the gorgeous skirt, and followed her steps on the snow-colored fox skin: "What about my brother?" Now that I've woken up, why haven't I seen my brother yet? Could it be that you haven't informed him of my awakening? ”

The bright starry eyes dimmed instantly, Xu Shen stared at Nan Zuisheng's undisguised look of surprise and joy, and the vitality that suddenly erupted when he heard the news that Nan Fu had come to visit him, and the appearance of anxious questioning, only to feel a subtle dull pain in his heart suddenly, as if he had been gently hit by something heavy in the softest depths of his heart.

The delicate and gorgeous eyebrows were slightly lowered, Xu Shen lowered his eyes to look at the snow-colored fox skin under his feet, and between his slender fingers was the glittering marigold: "...... Don't worry, I won't forget to send people to inform Nan Fusheng. Now he is living in a hotel outside the palace, and the daily necessities of daily life are taken care of by the Sakura royal family, and there will be no slack or slack, which Miss Nanda can rest assured. ”

"Outside the palace?" Although he had already known the reason why Nan Fusheng lived outside the palace, and Xia Wan had also carefully explained to Nan Zuisheng, but now in front of Xu Shen, Nan Zuisheng still showed a puzzled look, and his long eyebrows like smoke in the distant mountains frowned slightly, as if he was very worried that Nan Fusheng would be neglected.

The lilac layered gorgeous palace skirt hung down at her feet, and Xia Wan stood on the side of the door of the inner hall with her eyebrows bowed, and she didn't feel the slightest surprise or doubt about the scene that happened in front of her.

The most important thing in the Sakura Kingdom Palace is smart people, but the only one who can really pretend to be confused is probably the only one in front of her.

The sweet spring water in the marigold was clear and transparent, and Xu Shen's gorgeous and graceful eyebrows were clearly reflected on the water surface, he stared at Nan Zuisheng's nervous expression worried about Nan Fusheng, and after a moment of silence, he finally hooked his lips and smiled sarcastically: "That's right, Nan Fusheng now lives in the hotel outside the Sakura Kingdom Palace." ”

The calm and traceless water suddenly rippled with real microwaves, Xu Shen casually shook the marigold in his hand, and his voice was as low and gorgeous as a violin in the dark night: "But don't worry, Nan Fusheng is a well-known business emperor in Xuan, and he is also the godfather of the underworld that everyone knows. ”

Mo Yu's long hair flowed with a little bit of clear light and broken shadows poured on the waist of the palace skirt, and when Nan Zuisheng heard this, he slowly stretched out his frowning eyebrows, and the pure ink pupils reflected the luxurious young man sitting and holding the lamp. Her white fingertips tapped lightly on the rosewood brocade couch, and she thoughtfully lowered her butterfly wings.

100% sincerity.

What is 100% sincerity?

But Xu Shen, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, has clearly announced himself in his words that he will not slack off Nan Fusheng no matter what, but when he hears it, he always feels that there are some places that cannot be said to be weird and subtle, as if Xu Shen's words have another deep meaning, but Nan Zuisheng himself did not realize the deep meaning contained in it.

The intricately carved jade cherry blossom bonsai shines brightly, the golden peacock placed in the corner of the west side of the inner hall is staggered, and the emerald gems inlaid on the finch are both luxurious and cold, like the blue and gloomy eyes of a poisonous snake.

Xu Shen followed Nan Zuisheng's gaze and looked at the golden peacock with miscolored wisps in the sky, the dazzling golden peacock captured the sky, but no matter how gorgeous the object was, it would gradually fade with the passage of time, not to mention the golden peacock ---in front of him, which His Majesty the Emperor of the Sakura Kingdom specially ordered someone to create for the princess of the imperial concubine?

That's right, the princess of the imperial concubine.

Xu Shenke has never recognized Her Royal Highness the half-princess...... It's his sister.

"If you like this golden peacock, I will return to my father and leave this golden peacock as a new gift." He put down the marigold he was playing with, and slowly withdrew his gaze to look at Nan Zuisheng who was reclining on the red sandalwood brocade couch.

The sparkling ink eyes clearly reflected the flashy and dazzling gemstone fragments of the golden peacock, Nan Zuisheng stared at the blue gems on the finch, and his voice was as low as the microwave of the blue lake, without a trace in an instant: "I just think that the blue gem set on the finch, like the eyes of a poisonous snake, as for liking this golden peacock...... I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried. This golden peacock is ingenious and exquisite, but it is not mine. ”

The golden peacock symbolizes the honor and status of Her Royal Highness, and is a rare treasure that His Majesty the Emperor of Sakura Country will present as a finale gift at Her Royal Highness's birthday banquet. This treasure can be said to have condensed the sweat and hard work of all the craftsmen in the palace to produce such a brilliant and exquisite existence.

The peacock is gorgeous and gorgeous, a male peacock has fifty or sixty finch, or even more finch, and the golden peacock placed in the hall has created sixty-six finch, no matter how light and delicate the pure golden finchite is clustered together, it will be extremely heavy.

The turquoise gems inlaid at the end of the tail of the finch are bright and shiny, and the past is carefully examined, the inside of the gem is clear and crystalline, without a trace of impurities, which is a rare and rare top grade. Not to mention the carving process of the intricate gold wisps used in the whole golden peacock, as well as the delicate finches and the gorgeous feathers at the head of the finch.

The blue gems reflect the dazzling brilliance, blending and intertwining with the rest of the precious and gorgeous furnishings in the hall, diffusing the light but graceful and elegant clouds.

"Like the eyes of a poisonous snake? The eldest lady's description is really vivid, these blue gems look from afar, isn't it the gloomy and cold blue eyes of the poisonous snake? "It's more like the femme fatale of the harem concubines. Xu Shen smiled with thin lips, he lowered his eyes to look at himself reflected in the marigold, and a sharp dark light was fleeting in his eyes.

"yes, Viper's Eyes." Nan Zuisheng retracted his gaze thoughtfully, and lowered his eyes to look at the moon-white cherry blossom palace dress he was wearing.

The cherry blossoms in full bloom are painted with fine brushwork, and a special dye that will not fade is carefully outlined on the moon-white silk brocade, and Nan Zuisheng gently touched the cherry blossoms on the palace skirt, and suddenly asked Xu Shen such a sentence: "Cherry blossoms are the national flowers of the cherry blossom country, and it is also strange that I am shallow in learning, dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what are the beautiful meanings of cherry blossoms?" ”

"Beautiful meaning?" Unexpectedly, Nan Zuisheng would suddenly ask such a question, and Xu Shen couldn't hide his astonishment and raised his eyes to look at the fairy and jade-colored girl in front of him.

Seeing that Nan Zuisheng's complexion seemed to be impregnated with a serious and solemn expression, Xu Shen frowned slightly when he saw the situation and pondered for a moment, and then replied in a low voice without hurrying: "If you talk about the beautiful meaning contained in the cherry blossoms, it is probably just romantic, pure, and love...... And the flower language of cherry blossoms is to love only you for a lifetime. ”

Before the words fell, Xu Shen raised his eyes in confusion: "Why are you suddenly asking this?" ”

"What do you say, His Royal Highness the Prince?" Nan Zuisheng stood up slowly, walked elegantly to the huge dressing mirror with pure gold flooring, and slowly took off the crystal cherry blossom hairpin in the bun with his slender jade fingers.

The delicate and lustrous petal tassel swayed and collided slightly chill on the wrist side, Nan Zuisheng slowly lifted this fresh and elegant but luxurious hairpin to Xu Shen's face, and the red lips slightly opened the words meaningful: "Xuan is different from the cherry blossom country, and it has long been not popular to wear this kind of classical jewelry, but in the palace of the cherry blossom country, the meaning of this crystal cherry blossom hairpin can be described as beautiful and romantic, if any of the royal highnesses can get this cherry blossom hairpin rewarded by His Majesty, then her status will instantly become supreme." ”

At this point, Nan Zuisheng hooked his lips and smiled lightly, but his smile was cold and sarcastic: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you give me this hairpin?" ”

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

I don't believe that you, as the crown prince of Sakura Country, will not understand this truth.

"Do you suspect that I will make enemies for you again?" Xu Shen was concise and to the point, and his words broke the thoughts in Nan Zusheng's heart.

"Isn't it?" The tied bow bun was scattered behind him, and a few strands of long black feather hair were scattered along the forehead to the side of Nan Zuisheng's face, which further set off Nan Zuisheng's goose egg face as white as jade, and the delicate and moist like a still shadow flowed with a faint glow.

The petal tassel swayed gently in mid-air, Xu Shen's chest rose and fell after hearing the words, obviously he was ruthless by Nan Zuisheng's words, only to see him take back the hairpin from Nan Zuisheng's hand, and the pale red lip flap was tightly pursed into a line: "Miss Nanda, I admit that you are very smart, but there is a good saying--- smart is mistaken by smart." Although this cherry blossom hairpin does not have the grace and luxury of pure gold, the cherry blossoms carved on it symbolize the beautiful romance advocated by the cherry blossom country, you can not like it, but you must not doubt my intentions. ”

The slender fingers were clenched together, and the slightly cool crystal touch soaked in the blood through the texture of the palm. Xu Shen suddenly felt that his intentions had become a big joke at this moment, and if people didn't appreciate it, they would forget it, and they suspected him of bad intentions, as if he had repeatedly slapped him in the face.

"Well, since Miss Nanda doesn't like it, then I'll put it back in the warehouse, if you like something next to it, let them lead you to the warehouse in the summer evening to choose it yourself." Xu Shen clenched the crystal cherry blossom hairpin in his palm, and after he put down such a slightly cold and hard sentence, he walked straight out of the hall by Nan Zuisheng's side.

The graceful and elegant prince's costume gradually drifted away on the road of the white marble palace, and the roses half-covered and half-concealed the slender and luxurious back of the young man, like a blazing firework, instantly ignited such a gorgeous and radiant existence.

A few red rose petals fall in the white marble courtyard with the wind, the pale gold light of the day generously sprinkles on all creatures in the mortal world, and the colorful phoenix tail butterflies flutter among the roses, and the rich and intoxicating fragrance is more intoxicating than the aged rose wine.

The lilac palace skirt embroidered with petal magnolia flowers swayed slightly, and Xia Wan raised her eyes to stare at Xu Shen's back that completely disappeared on the white marble palace road, and then she retracted her gaze and looked at Nan Zuisheng, and asked cautiously: "Miss, why did you suddenly ......?"

"You may think I'm suspicious when I say it, do you remember when the imperial concubine and I met and talked in the pavilion seven days ago?" Nan Zuisheng looked at the gorgeous and delicate outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the arc, and only felt that although these roses were in full bloom and enchanting and warm, the bloom in the deep palace was bleak and lonely after all.

The pearl earrings swayed slightly on both sides of the beautiful face, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows and thought carefully for a moment, nodded firmly and replied: "The slave remembers it, but the imperial concubine didn't mention anything about the cherry blossom hairpin, why did the eldest lady suddenly have this question?" ”

She stared at the delicate roses blooming outside the window, and said softly: "Although the imperial concubine did not say a word about the cherry blossom hairpin on my head that day, she stayed on the hairpin...... It's really like a rose blooming in the garden. ”

Like a blazing rose, although the fragrance is still fragrant and intoxicating, there are countless sharp spikes climbing on the quenching blue branches.

Those spikes stabbed into Nan Zuisheng's face as if they were hooked, but in an instant, the imperial concubine regained her noble and elegant smile and whisper, and the speed was so fast that Nan Zuisheng almost thought that she had hallucinated that day.

"This ...... Miss, the slave maid thinks that you may really misunderstand His Royal Highness the Prince. Xia Wan slowly frowned when she heard this, and while she carefully observed Nan Zuisheng's expression and demeanor, she quickly considered the words in her mind.

"Misunderstanding?" The corners of Nan Zuisheng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he gently glanced at the purple-clothed maid Xia Wan beside him.

Xia Wan helped Nan Zuisheng to sit in front of the red sandalwood brocade couch, and took a soft pillow stuffed with flower petals to cushion it under Nan Zuisheng's elbow, and then stood on one side with his eyebrows bowed, and explained softly in an orderly manner: "This cherry blossom hairpin was specially selected and given to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the treasury, and there is really no other malice." Although His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine had asked His Majesty for this hairpin, His Majesty was not willing to reward her, and after hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted it, His Majesty let the treasury select it. ”

At this point, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and after a pause for a few seconds, she continued: "In addition, although the slave maid does not know what happened between you and His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid has never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so attentive to the daughter of whose family, Miss Nanda, you are still the first." ”

Nan Zuisheng sniffed the fragrance of flowers lingering around his nose, and was silent for a long time before nodding lightly: "...... Well, hopefully I misunderstood him. ”

Xia Wan bent down to sort out the paper and pen that was resting on the golden silk nanmu low table, and then picked up the agarwood tray: "Misunderstanding or not, it doesn't matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a narrow-minded person, I guess I won't be angry until the evening, and the eldest lady doesn't have to worry." Before the words fell, she Shi Shiran stood up and walked to the outer hall, ready to put the pen and paper in her hand back on the bookshelf.

Nan Zuisheng: ......

Am I showing signs of concern?

Not really.

The bead curtain dotted under the door of the tunic skirt collided with the sound of Qingyue with Nan Zuisheng's movements, she raised her eyes to look at the beautiful and graceful figure of the summer evening, and her soft voice rose slightly: "Wait a minute, those paper and pens are still here, there are some things I haven't figured out yet, I need someone to think about it carefully, you go out and wait first, and I'll call you when something is told." ”

"The slave obeys." Hearing this, Xia Wan turned around and put the paper and pen in the agarwood tray back on the golden silk nanmu low table, she bowed to the south drunken sheng and retreated, and then stood on the inside of the outer hall with her eyebrows bowed, beside her was a half-open glazed palace lamp.

The rich aroma of agarwood spreads throughout the palace, and the word iris is written on the white paper, which is obviously a simple nickname for kites, but it always makes Nan Zuisheng feel that it contains a profound and extraordinary --- important clue.
