Mo Lengxuan has been in Zhao Sitian's palace for several days, and Zhao Sitian doesn't see him much, she still only does her own things every day.

Her father was worried about her marriage, and only when her father mentioned the marriage, she would think of the person who saved her in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she just thought that she didn't find the person she liked when she replied to her father, so wait.

She waited until her seventeenth birthday.

On Zhao Sitian's seventeenth birthday, Emperor Xuanfeng held a dinner in the palace, and the officials of the family and the royal family all entered the palace to congratulate, so it was not lively.

She drank some wine and went back to the dormitory early.

Yan Su walked behind her, her cheeks were slightly red from the smell of wine, and her eyes were a little misty, making people think she was drunk, but her steps were very firm.

When she walked to the gate of Chaoyang Palace, Mo Lengxuan was waiting for her.

Mo Lengxuan saluted her and said, "Princess Wan'an." ”

She said: "Let's be flat, today is the princess's birthday, there is no need to be so polite." ”

He straightened up, his head still bowed.

She hooked her lips and smiled, with a noble momentum, and said, "Mo Xiaowei also has a gift for this princess?" ”

He bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

She walked forward: "Then what are you still standing here, come in." ”

The moonlight in the courtyard was thick, and the courtyard was like stagnant water and empty, Zhao Sitian sat on the stone table and selected the congratulatory gifts sent by the officials and emperors, and said to Mo Lengxuan, who had been standing aside for a long time: "What about the gift that Mo Xiaowei said?" Why didn't you talk when you came in? ”

Mo Lengxuan hesitated for a long time, approached her, and placed a fan on the stone table.

Zhao Sitian looked at the fan, it was the one she held when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then she had an accident, and no one picked up the fan and brought it back to the palace, but she didn't expect it to be taken by Mo Lengxuan.

She smiled and asked him, "Is the gift you gave to Princess Ben her own fan?" ”

He said, "More than that. ”

Zhao Sitian turned his head and instructed Yan Su behind him: "Go and bring the clothes in my room, the wind is a little cold." ”

"Yes."

Yan Su bowed his head, and Zhao Sitian said again: "Okay, you can take it out now." ”

Mo Lengxuan hesitated for a while, took out a wooden hairpin from his sleeve, and handed it to her.

Zhao Sitian narrowed his eyes and reached out to take it.

The hairpin is carved with a peony flower, and the wood is ordinary wood, but it is carved in great detail.

She asked him, "Did you carve it?" ”

He replied, "Yes." ”

Then she smiled sarcastically: "It's unbearable." ”

When she saw him in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, she thought that he was some kind of elegant and refined person, and she never thought that he was just a profit-soaked person who loved vanity. Also, since he is excellent in martial arts, how can his heart be noble, I'm afraid he hasn't even read much books.

She was immediately disappointed in him.

But when he heard it, he only asked, "Why vulgar?" ”

She didn't want to look at him more, so she just asked, "Peony, not bad?" ”

He asked, "Does peony have to be vulgar?" ”

She said: "A person with a pure heart and few desires will love this graceful and luxurious peony? ”

He said: "But I think Peony is very worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Zhao Si became more and more dissatisfied in his heart: "Worthy of me? Do you know who I am, so you say that Peony is worthy of me? Just because I'm a princess, can I only be so flashy? ”

He asked, "Why is the peony so flashy?" ”

She said, "Then where do you tell me about the peony?"

He was silent for a while, and said: "The flowers are crowned with flowers, and the ink pen painting is alluring." ”

Zhao Si was stunned.

Mo Lengxuan chuckled lightly, and his voice was soft: "Because of the country and the city, because of the quality of the world, I think the peony is worthy of you." ”

Zhao Sitian's face flushed.

Not only because of what he said, but also because he laughed and made the stars colorless.

Fortunately, she drank wine, and her different blush would not let Mo Lengxuan find out. She didn't refute anything, she seemed to accept his statement, and after a long time, she said, "I took this wooden hairpin." ”

Then she got up and walked to the dormitory, and Mo Lengxuan asked behind her, "Does the eldest princess know what it means to send hairpins?" ”

Zhao Sitian paused.

The man gave the woman a hairpin, intending to tie it up.

She didn't say anything, because Yan Su came. Yan Su came over and put her in a robe and asked, "Is the princess going back?" ”

She grabbed the wooden hairpin in her sleeve tightly, suddenly let go, and nodded.

After that night, they didn't speak alone. Zhao Sitian continued to be her princess, and Mo Lengxuan continued to be his guard.

It's just that when they meet by chance, Mo Lengxuan salutes her, and she will nod to him.

He gave her a wooden hairpin in exchange for a slight change in her.

This quiet day ended in the spring of the following year.

That afternoon, she was writing in her room, and when she heard a mess outside, she called Yan Su in and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Su hesitated for a moment and replied, "Back to the princess, the slave maid heard about it...... It was Mo Xiaowei who assassinated the emperor in the imperial garden, the emperor's dragon body was unharmed, and Mo Xiaowei had been escorted to the dungeon of the criminal department. ”

Zhao Sitian threw away the pen, and the ink stained the entire rice paper.

Emperor Xuanfeng ordered a thorough investigation of Mo Lengxuan, and the prince took the initiative to ask for help. However, on the fifth day, an old case was revealed.

Ten years ago, the Marquis of Wu'an rebelled, and the whole clan was executed.

And Mo Lengxuan is the son of the Marquis of Wu'an.

Today's prime minister and Wu Anhou have a very personal relationship, ten years ago he proved that he had nothing to do with Wu Anhou, but he saved Mo Lengxuan and raised him.

Ten years ago, Wu'anhou was killed for rebellion, and anyone who got it would be fishy, and ten years later, Wu'anhou became the left Xiaowei in the palace and assassinated the emperor again.

Emperor Xuanfeng was furious and investigated and punished the prime minister, and Mo Lengxuan was strictly guarded and beheaded three days later.

The prime minister shouted on the way to the dungeon: "The Marquis of Wu'an was full of loyal martyrs who rebelled, and my Yao family's loyalty ended up like this!" The girder is going to die, the girder is dying! ”

Emperor Xuanfeng ordered someone to cut off the prime minister's tongue.

Zhao Sitian sat in his dormitory for a day, from morning to dusk, without saying anything or eating anything. Yan Su was so worried that she persuaded her for a long time, but she didn't listen.

When the sun was about to set, Zhao Sitian finally moved.

She asked Yan Su to help her put on the eldest princess's dress and go to the Chengde Palace.

She knelt in front of the Chengde Palace, and the moonlight reflected by the golden threads on her dress was exactly the same as on the day of her birthday. She knelt straight, her noble temperament was innate, and her delicate makeup was suffocating.

She shouted to the Chengde Palace: "Erchen already has a heart, in this life, he will not marry." ”

Her voice was firm, and every word sounded like she was drinking blood.

She already has a heart, and he will not marry in this life.

Ten miles of red makeup, the country is married.

When Zhao Sitian sat on the sedan chair, he was still thinking about what Emperor Xuanfeng had said to her that night.

She used herself to threaten Emperor Xuanfeng to save his life, and her attitude was resolute: "In this life, he will not marry." If he can't get married, then the day he dies will be the time when my soul returns to the earth. ”
