She is the concubine of King Pingliang, and she can't be seen in social occasions at all.

It was a surprise when he saw her.

After settling Huai Jin in the Dingguang Temple Annex, he was talking to Master Shi Yuan, asking Master Shi to explain the princess more.

Behind him, there was a warbler and swallow whispering, and a group of women worshipping Buddha came in from the temple gate.

Empress Dowager Xu worships Buddha, goes up and down, and the aristocratic women of the Northern Dynasty flock to it, and they have to go to the temple every month to make incense.

He didn't look back, but the inexplicable feeling imprisoned him tightly, making him dare not look back.

He didn't dare to look back, but his eyes were sour.

What made him strange was that he didn't hear her or see her, but he was sure that Aning was behind him, in the crowd of women.

At that time, he was standing under the Bodhi tree, which blocked the harsh sunlight, but he was so hot that he panicked, and wanted to immediately rush to the well and pour cold water on himself.

As the head of the Ministry of Rites, he is familiar with the ten major rituals, how can he lose his temper and lose his manners?

So he took two steps back indifferently and made way for Master Shi Yuan, with a decent smile on his lips.

Shi Yuan folded his hands and saluted Princess Pingliang, and he also bowed, without squinting, and was upright.

He didn't have her in his eyes, but he was all about her.

He couldn't imagine what they would be like in ten or twenty years, but when he saw her, he knew that she was supposed to be like this.

His Aning is still the A-Ning in the depths of his heart.

She was indifferent and quiet, still so thin, dressed in bamboo blue clothes, so light among the flowery women, her eyes were still gentle and shy, but a little more firm and calm.

He had always loved her timid eyes, which urged him to grow up quickly, to mature quickly, to change from a boy to a man, so that she could hide behind him with peace of mind.

She just had to hide behind him.

It was the war that separated them, and it was the war that reunited them.

Ah Ning stood beside Princess Pingliang, glanced at him, and looked away again.

She recognized him too.

Princess Pingliang smiled at him, "Lord Chu, the last time I saw you was at a night banquet in the palace, I wanted to ask you if my family Min'er was okay, but I didn't expect you to socialize a lot, so I didn't talk to you." ”

Chu Nanan smiled, "I should have come to the door to explain to the princess, but I didn't want the princess to ask in person, which is really rude." The princess was fine in the Southern Dynasty, and she hit it off at first sight with Princess Herou, and asked the princess to bring Tuya and Dolan back. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an excellent temperament and appearance, please rest assured that the princess. ”

Princess Pingliang thanked her, then turned to Xiao Ning'er next to her and said, "You can rest assured." ”

Xiao Ning'er bowed her knees slightly and thanked her, "There is Princess Lao." Listen...... Lord Chu said that Princess Herou and Min'er were good friends, and the concubine wanted to meet the princess, but she didn't know if it was okay. ”

Princess Pingliang patted her hands and asked Shi Yuandao, "I heard that Princess Herou is in your temple, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Shi Yuan said apologetically, "Princess Herou is mourning and has no guests. ”

Seeing Xiao Ning'er's face full of loss and lowering her head slightly, Chu Nanan said, "The noble man misses his daughter, it is reasonable. I am familiar with the princess, and I would like to lead the way for the nobles, and the princess will not be gone. ”

Xiao Ning'er heard him say that she wanted to lead the way, her eyes were surprised, and she hesitated, she slurred, "No need...... Don't bother with adults. ”

Chu Nan'an heard her refusal, as if he hadn't heard it, made an invitation, and said to Princess Pingliang, "I'll take the nobleman there." ”

Princess Pingliang said, "There is Lord Lao." After speaking, he said to Shi Yuan, "Seeing that the Queen Mother is coming, our ladies of Pingliang Wangfu are ready to embroider a statue of Guanyin together, and we will bother the host more in the future." ”

Shi Yuan smiled heartily, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Chu Nanan walked in front, his steps were extremely small, and he walked extremely slowly, and Ah Ning followed behind him, his steps were light and inaudible.

The flowers and willows pass through the matching hall, and the corridor is silent.

"You're too skinny."

Xiao Ning'er was walking with her head down, and thunder suddenly sounded in her ears, she raised her head and stopped, seeing that he also stopped and turned to look at her, she hurriedly took a few steps back, her lips moved, she didn't say anything, and lowered her head slightly.

Chu Nanan said again, "You are too thin." ”

"Thank you...... Adults care. ”

Chu Nanan sighed and did not intend to continue walking.

For a long time, he chuckled, "A-Ning, why are you still so cowardly, you don't dare to look up at me." ”

Xiao Ning'er listened to him make fun of her, the nerves that had been tense relaxed slightly, and finally raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on the pillar behind him, "Yu Li...... Disagreement. ”

Chu Nanan smiled, "How many times has the old prince said that you should be upright and calm when talking to people." If you ignore me like this, it is not in accordance with the courtesy. ”

Xiao Ning'er immediately said, "I know! I ......"

Chu Nanan looked at her playfully, "What are you?" ”

Xiao Ning'er didn't speak again, and lowered her head again.

She is still the timid and shy little girl in her temperament, but the royal etiquette tells her to be generous, and she has always done a good job, only in front of him, and only in front of him, she ...... I don't know how to put my hands and feet.

From the moment she entered the temple gate, she saw the familiar and unfamiliar figure, and her eyes never left him, until he gave way to Master Shi Yuan, and her eyes left him.

He was still as thin as he had been when he was a teenager, only he had become deep and restrained, mature and steady. The once refreshing young man now holds a lot of power, and she responds to every call, which makes her afraid to approach.

She can't keep up with him, she'll always be so humble.

When she first got married, she felt painful and relieved. In this way, she will no longer have to follow his pace, and she will no longer be angry with herself because she can't catch up with him.

Hearing her mention the old prince, her throat began to ache, and tears filled her eyes.

Chu Nanan stared at her, "Do you want to go back to the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Ning'er raised her head in surprise, but did not speak.

Her eyes were full of sadness, tears flowed down her cheeks, and the emotions that had been suppressed finally collapsed at this moment.

Chu Nan stretched out her hand in pain, wanting to help her wipe away her tears, but Xiao Ning'er took a few steps back abruptly.

Chu Nan'an paused, looked at his fingertips, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

He said, "I can't keep up with you." ”

Xiao Ning'er said over and over again in her heart, I can't catch up with you.

Chu Nanan turned around and continued to walk forward, "The old prince's body is still healthy, but his legs and feet are a little unstable. I go to see him every month and he's doing well. Princess Pingliang went to the Southern Dynasty, and I picked it up. Let her marry the crown prince, which I also proposed. The deep palace is like the sea, and the saint favors Concubine Xie, not a lover. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle, meticulous and considerate, reads and never forgets, and is very good at arching and shooting. The eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar, I don't know if you still remember that Song Chenbei, he was in the household department in the early years, and in the seventeenth year of Emperor Gao, we went to the Lantern Festival and met him, you said that he was handsome, and it was the first time you praised a man. I was still angry with you, and I was jealous for a while. ”

"Song Chenbei's house," Chu Nanan shook his head, "You can see a face." I can't watch it now, I worry too much, my face is wrinkled, and the old Mr. of your bookkeeper can call him grandpa. ”

She was originally sad, but when she heard him complain about Song Chenbei, she couldn't help but laugh.

She couldn't help but retort, "Mr. Zhu in the account room is less white-headed, and he is already old. ”

Chu Nanan nodded, "Yes, Song Chenbei is older than him." Don't you think he's handsome? ”

Xiao Ning'er glared at him, "Poor." ”

Chu Nan'an saw that she was finally amused, and she laughed herself, and continued, "The old prince and the princess are very good. ”

Xiao Ning'er bent her knees deeply, "Thank you." ”

Chu Nanan looked down at her, "You are still polite to me." Is there still a cold incense pill? ”

Xiao Ning'er said, "Thank you, you sent a lot last time." ”

Speaking of the courtyard, Chu Nanan stopped again, "Do you want to go back to the Southern Dynasty?" ”
