Chapter 8: I don't know where the love begins

In the autumn pavilion of the palace, Xiao Wei gave Su Liruo makeup, looking at the delicate and lovely face reflected in the bronze mirror, Xiao Wei exclaimed: "The princess's appearance is unparalleled in the world, I don't know who can have this blessing?" The princess has been favored for the rest of her life. ”

Su Liruo glanced at Xiao Wei, the maid who had accompanied her since she was a child, ten years ago, her sister was sent to Guangling Temple by her father. At the same age as her, her little Yui was sent to accompany her when she was a little younger. She loves the lively and clever little Wei, and she has always regarded Xiao Wei as her closest relative.

It is rumored that Princess Yuguo Liruo's face is captivating to the country and the city, and her dancing posture is unparalleled in the world, but few people really witness her appearance and dancing posture, so she can only imagine it in her heart.

Xiao Wei has praised the intimate princess a lot, and she is not stingy with all the words of praise.

Su Liruo poked Xiao Wei's forehead with her fingertips in disgust and said: "You girl, Hugh is talking nonsense, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and besides, you and I have been locked in the palace since childhood, and I know that there are many talents in the world." ”

With that, she moved to the window, staring out the window with her eyes faintly, the cold wind was whining, and the leaves were withered and yellow, falling scattered. She sighed lightly and said: "The beauty of the face can't withstand the prosperity and fall, the spring, summer, autumn and winter, like my mother, although my father has been in love for a lifetime, but it is also a thin life, leaving no resentment." I envy the daughters of ordinary people, unfettered, free and leisurely, ordinary and indifferent, this life is enough! ”

Xiao Wei looked at the princess's slender and graceful figure sullenly, and wondered why the princess was always depressed recently? There seems to be endless melancholy. She approached Su Liruo's side and asked, "Why did the princess say this?" Could it be that a lifetime of glory and wealth is not worth the freedom and ordinary? ”

Su Liruo smiled bitterly and said: "Nine clouds are idle, and I have no choice but to fall into the dust!" ”

Xiao Wei was not surprised, the princess was infinitely sad, and she was even more puzzled why the princess, who had always been squeamish and carefree, was so concerned?

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind him: "Ruo'er should take back his heart, and don't covet the illusion of the people." ”

When the two of them heard this, they turned around and looked back, only to see Grandma Xi's face was dark, and they didn't know when they entered the house.

Xiao Wei lowered her head in fright, not daring to look at her, she had always been afraid of her grandmother who did not smile.

Su Liruo smiled and said coquettishly to Grandma Xi: "Grandma, if Ruo'er has the illusion of nostalgia for the world? Where Grandma is, Ruo'er's heart is there. ”

Grandma Xi looked at the simple little person in front of her lovingly, although she was cold and stern, she was helpless against Su Liruo alone, and she couldn't be severe. That charming appearance always gave her the illusion of a cold reincarnation. She shook her head and sighed helplessly: "The old body doesn't dare to ask for the princess's heart, I just hope that the princess will be safe and worry-free all her life, and live up to the trust of Ni Han!" ”

Su Liruo snuggled in Grandma Xi's arms, winked playfully and said, "How can Grandma preach again?" If you are obedient, it is! ”

Grandma Xi stroked her shoulder and said, "Okay, just now Chang Gonggong passed the word, Your Majesty asked you to go over to have breakfast with him." ”

Su Liruo raised his head and smiled: "Why is my father so pestering? During this period of time, Ruo'er has been accompanied by Ruo'er under various excuses, I don't know what tricks he will make today? ”

Grandma Xi's expression was heavy, and she said slowly: "If you go, there is no need to guess." ”

Su Liruo nodded, and went out briskly with Xiao Wei's steps.

Grandma Xi looked at her departing back, and couldn't help sighing, quite helpless.

Su Liruo came to the imperial dining room, and saw that Emperor Heng had been waiting for a long time, Chang Gonggong stood aside, and saw Su Liruo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the little princess is here!" ”

Emperor Heng raised his head, looked at his daughter and smiled: "Oh, my Ruo'er is finally here!" ”

Su Liruo pursed her lips, sat down slowly, her bright eyes were rolling, and she deliberately said with a slight annoyance: "Is my father a three-year-old child?" Why is it so difficult for Ruo'er to practice dancing every day, what is the father going to do today? ”

Emperor Heng's eyes were full of doting, and he smiled warmly: "Ah! Ruo'er is annoyed? ”

Su Liruo frowned slightly and said: "Father is really so unreasonable, pestering Ruo'er every day to say something inconsequential, causing Ruo'er's dancing skills to become unfamiliar." ”

Emperor Heng caught a glimpse of his daughter's unhappy expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, it turns out that what Ruo'er said to me a few days ago were all inconsequential, so Ruo'er will tell me something important today!" ”

Su Liruo stomped her feet in annoyance and said, "If your father is playing with Ruo'er, Ruo'er won't play with your father." ”

Emperor Heng smiled without saying a word, took a piece of pastry for his daughter, put it on the plate and said, "Come, Ruo'er try the osmanthus cake." ”

Su Liruo didn't move the pastry, but tilted his head and leaned on his father's shoulder and said, "What does my father want to listen to today?" That's it! ”

Emperor Heng waved his hand slightly, Chang Gonggong and Xiao Wei glanced at each other, and hurriedly removed a large plate of osmanthus cake.

It turned out that Su Liruo didn't like pastries since she was a child, especially osmanthus cakes. So whenever Emperor Heng asked her to eat pastries, she knew that her father had to achieve her goal, and she could only compromise and retreat.

Emperor Heng hugged his daughter's shoulders and listened to her tell her how to get on the wrong boat and meet the owner of Yueyi......

Su Liruo, who was questioned by her father to the end, wittily concealed the details of her love that she never forgot.

Even so, her girl's first thoughts still couldn't escape Emperor Heng's gaze.

Su Liruo made it clear, and the father and daughter also finished breakfast, waiting for their daughter to leave. Emperor Heng turned around and instructed Chang Gong to be fair: "Investigate the owner of Yueyi, who is it?" Where does it come from? ”

Chang Gonggong bowed down and said: "Yes, the slave will let people check." ”

Emperor Heng slowly got up and left with his hands in his hands.

On the way back to Qiu Yige, Su Liruo asked Xiao Wei uneasily: "What Fang Cai said will not arouse the suspicion of my father!" ”

Xiao Wei said: "Why did the princess hide that time in the bamboo forest? ”

Su Liruo said with a faint look in his eyes: "My father is holding on so much, I can't make trouble for him." ”

Xiao Wei said: "The slave doesn't understand!" ”

Su Liruo glared angrily and said, "What? Are you just pretending to be a fool of this princess? ”

Xiao Wei slave said: "Now that the princess is so thoughtful, how can the slave and maid figure it out?" ”

Su Liruo said with a gloomy expression: "Even if you have a yearning heart, it is difficult to move an inch in the palace. ”

Xiao Wei was shocked and said, "Isn't it that the princess is still worried about the owner of the Yueyi Village?" ”

Su Liruo's eyes were lonely, and he smiled faintly: "I still owe him a dance?" ”

Xiao Wei hurriedly stopped the way and said: "The princess must not have this thought, she must not leave the palace again!" ”

Su Liruo looked at Xiao Wei in a daze, how could she not understand that she might not have a chance to leave the palace again, and she sighed lightly: "You don't have to panic, you should leave a thought for this princess!" After speaking, move forward.

Xiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, so she was relieved to keep up, but she felt distressed by the princess's lonely eyes.

The master and servant only walked a few steps, but Su Liruo caught a glimpse of Yan Jingnan walking towards her from afar, she was stunned for a moment, Yan Jingnan had already walked in front of her, Junyan was pleasantly surprised, and shouted: "Liruo..."

Su Liruo took a step back and said with a smile: "Brother Jingnan..."

Yan Jingnan saw her retreat, and her face gradually darkened: "Why is Li Ruo so unfamiliar with me?" Could it be that Jing Nan did something to annoy you? ”

Yan Jingnan's thoughts, if she had been before, she would not have understood, but it was the love between brother and sister. However, after leaving the palace, her mind was not as simple as before, at least she knew that the love between men and women was unusual. This is also what she realized from the moment she met the owner of Yueyi, not to mention that she is now full of love and never forgets to be with him bit by bit, how can she not understand the strong love in Yan Jingnan's eyes?

Su Liruo smiled and said, "Why did Brother Jingnan say this? ”

Yan Jingnan was a little distressed and said, "This has to ask why Li Ruo has been avoiding me and refusing to see me?" ”

Su Liruo said with a straight face: "Brother Jingnan, you and I have grown up, and we are no longer unguessed, so we should abide by etiquette and avoid misunderstanding by others." ”

Yan Jingnan's face became more and more ugly, and he said unhappily: "If Li Ruo is so vigilant, he should only have a trip out of the palace!" Now that I know that you and I are no longer like when we were children, Li Ruo doesn't need to call Jing Nan a brother, my heart for Li Ruo is not a brother and sister in the first place..."

Su Liruo hurriedly interrupted Yan Jingnan and said, "Liruo has always respected Brother Jingnan in his heart, how can he be so rude and not called?" ”

After that, she blessed her body and said: "Brother Jingnan is in such a hurry, there must be something to meet his father, if you don't delay Brother Jingnan, Brother Jingnan, please!" ”

She glanced at Xiao Wei, and Xiao Wei hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Liruo and said, "Princess, Grandma Xi still has something to discuss with the princess?" ”

Su Liruo said: "So Liruo is one step ahead!" "Instantly, move your feet and leave.

Yan Jingnan couldn't speak, and watched her leave, her heart swelled with unspeakable loss, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and stride into the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Heng was waving a heroic pen, turning into an ink treasure in one go, looking at his masterpiece, he nodded with satisfaction, then put down the ink pen in his hand, and turned back to Chang Gong and said: "Let him come in!" ”

It turned out that Chang Gonggong informed Yan Jingnan to ask for a meeting, and Emperor Heng, who was writing and brewing, did not raise his eyes and said: "Let him report something to the court tomorrow morning!" ”

Father-in-law Chang replied: "Your Majesty, General Yan said that it was a private matter, and it was inconvenient for him to say it clearly in the court. ”

Since Yan Xingchen was named the prime minister of Yuguo, his only son Yan Jingnan was honored as the general of Yuguo who held military power. Although the son inherits his father's business, Yan Jingnan is in the right age, and he must have something outstanding to win this honor, which also shows that Emperor Heng attaches great importance to the father and son of the Yan family.

After listening to Chang Gonggong's confession, Emperor Heng didn't say a word, but still concentrated on immersing himself in the pen and ink, and waited for the pen and ink to see the true chapter, so he invited Yan Jingnan.

Although Gonggong Chang was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, that Yan Jingnan was a general, and Emperor Heng had always liked him very much, but why did His Majesty snub him today? Hearing Emperor Heng's order, Chang Gonggong hurriedly went out to lead Yan Jingnan.

Yan Jingnan leaned over and saluted: "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty!" Disturb Your Majesty Yaxing, and hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins! ”

Emperor Heng said with a pleasant face: "It's okay! Come, look at my ink pen. ”

Yan Jingnan, who was in a bad mood just now, waited at the door in the cold by Emperor Heng, and he was much calmer at this time. He followed the guidance of Emperor Heng, and looked at a painting of pen and ink on the imperial table, the dragon flew scribbly, vigorous and powerful, and four big characters: quiet to self-cultivation.

Yan Jingnan gradually understood something, and he was ashamed: "Your Majesty is wise! "If you don't calm down outside the door, I'm afraid that your words will anger Emperor Heng.

Emperor Heng smiled slightly and said, "What happened to Jingnan today?" ”

Yan Jingnan lowered his head and said softly: "Minister, please ask Your Majesty for permission to fulfill Jingnan's wishes!" ”

Emperor Heng's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a long time and said: "If there is anything difficult about Jingnan, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Yan Jingnan's expression was solemn, and he leaned down and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is aware that the minister is only willing to devote himself to Liruo alone in this life, and he must not accommodate anyone else." ”

Emperor Heng frowned deeply, and then smiled indifferently: "Jingnan! Don't be impatient, if you don't want to be like a child, I will never be reluctant. However, if you have been spoiled by me since childhood, I'm afraid you will have to be a little patient! ”

Yan Jingnan was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his head and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, even if there are many things that are wrong, Jingnan is willing to endure all kinds of bad things from her." What's more, she is flawless in her courtier's heart, and there is no woman in the world who can compare with her. ”

Emperor Heng's mood became heavier, he asked Yan Jingnan to get up, and calmed his emotions, and then asked Chang Gonggong to send him away.
