The luncheon was not over yet, but after this series of events, no one on the field was in the mood to continue eating.

Meng Xian Yafu saluted and wanted to go back to change her clothes, but the eldest grandson nodded and waved her down.

The luncheon of the chrysanthemum banquet was over, and today's banquet was about to end, everyone stood up and said goodbye, Xia Mengning stood up and walked out with the flow of people, and just walked to the door of the hall, but was pulled by a hand by the sleeve.

turned around, and just fell into the dark eyes of the eldest grandson Yun, "Follow me!" ”

Xia Mengning bit her lip and thought about it, and said to Jiu'er beside her: "You go over and wait for me first, and I'll come in a while." ”

Jiu'er nodded and walked down, and Xia Mengning followed Changsun Yun to the bamboo forest next to him.

"Here's for you!" Eldest Sun Yun said, took out the coral bracelet from his sleeve, the delicate and transparent pearl and jade sparkled in the sun, Xia Mengning stretched out his hand to take it, she was very happy in her heart, and smiled: "It's for me?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun looked at her deeply, "At the banquet, I think you seem to like it very much." ”

Xia Mengning hurriedly shook her head, "I don't like it very much, it was very dangerous just now, and you don't have to take risks for this." ”

The eldest grandson Yun smiled, his face as white as jade was like the purest spring water in the world, clear and transparent.

There was a warm touch on her hand, Xia Mengning didn't pay attention, the bracelet was put on her wrist, Xia Mengning raised her hand slightly to see, the crystal agate jade reflected the white skin, and it was beautiful to complement each other.

"You still don't like it?" Changsun Yun looked at her shallow smile, his heart was soft, and he smiled lowly.

Xia Mengning came back to his senses, his eyes turned unnaturally, and he stopped at his feet and said, "You don't have to take risks for this, even if you don't, I won't be unhappy." ”

Eldest Sun Yun sighed and didn't speak, Xia Mengning was about to raise his head, but he was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, the tip of his nose was full of breath on his body, Xia Mengning was stunned, and heard Eldest Sun Yun's voice whispering in his ear, "Even if you don't like it, I am willing to give you all the good things in this world, you know, in my heart, you are the best in this world, and you deserve the best thing in this world." ”

The hot air exhaled slightly hovered at the root of his ears, Xia Mengning's face flushed, looking at the face of the person in front of him, he only felt as if he was suddenly hit by happiness, so beautiful that it made people dizzy.

"The prince ......" At this moment, the voice of the family came from the distance, and Xia Mengning quickly broke free from the arms of the eldest grandson Yun and jumped to the side to arrange her dress.

Eldest Sun Yun's fair face was dyed a little red, Xia Mengning looked at it, and couldn't help but bend his lips and laugh a few times, Eldest Sun Yun immediately pretended to be stern and put his hand to his lips and coughed low twice, Xia Mengning blinked, "Don't go yet." ”

Eldest Sun Yun no longer pretended to be stern, smiled, turned around and walked away.

Xia Mengning looked at the back of the eldest grandson Yun who was gradually moving away, and her heart was overflowing with happiness.

was about to raise his feet to leave, but a familiar voice came from behind him, "Miss Xia!" ”

Xia Mengning turned around, only to see Yu Ziran coming from behind, seeing her, but with a smile on her face, Xia Mengning saw the hatred in the smile, and had a bottom in her heart, and said softly: "I've seen the county lord!" ”

Yu Ziran walked over, her willow-green dress swaying, "Why should Miss Xia be polite, I can't afford to be polite, besides, we will eventually be a family in the future, what do we share with each other?" ”

Xia Mengning raised her head and looked at Yu Ziran, "I don't know what the county lord means?" ”

When Yu Ziran heard this, he elegantly took the embroidered handkerchief and put it to his lips and smiled, "Miss Xia is so pleasing to the prince, isn't it just to marry into the prince's mansion, we are sisters sooner or later, what's the difference between now and in the future?" ”

Xia Mengning heard this and smiled, "It's really strange that the county lord of Ziran said this, even if I can marry into the prince's mansion, why does the county lord of Ziran have this confidence?" ”

There is simply no one around, so Xia Mengning doesn't plan to interact with the woman in front of her.

Yu Ziran's face turned white, two clouds of anger accumulated in his eyes with watery eyes, and he shook the veil and said, "Hmph, does Miss Xia think that she can marry in so smoothly, the prince will never agree." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, undeniable, "So what?" ”

Yu Ziran looked at the proud face of the woman in front of her, remembering the words she had just said to her when she saw Shizi hugging her and saying to her, she only felt hatred in her heart, why, why could this woman easily capture the heart of Shizi, why can't she be in terms of talent, appearance, and background, and what point she loses to her.

Yu Ziran's pretty face was almost distorted, and he looked at Xia Mengning's indifferent face and said: "You are very proud, aren't you, but if you know that Shizi used to have a childhood sweetheart, can you still be proud?" ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I know!" ”

Yu Ziran laughed, "You know? Then why don't you wonder why the prince of the world has taken a fancy to you alone, there are countless women in the capital who admire the prince, why is it your turn alone? In terms of family and physiognomy, which one of you is different? ”

Xia Mengning was asked, for the first time after being reborn, she felt confused, yes, she was just a concubine who was not favored, only thirteen years old, even if she was beautiful, why could the prince fall in love with her so quickly, Xia Mengning felt a little chill all over her body, and for some reason, she had an ominous premonition.

"Shut up!" At this moment, the voice of Changsun Yun came from behind him, Xia Mengning hurriedly turned his head and saw Changsun Yun, who had just left, standing in front of him.

Yu Ziran saw that the eldest grandson Yun was coming, but he was standing beside Xia Mengning, with a protective gesture, Yu Ziran's heart was full of strong hatred, "Why didn't the prince let me say it, are you afraid that I will make her sad if I say it?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun frowned, "You'd better be clear about what to say and what not to say." ”

Yu Ziran laughed a few times and walked up to the two step by step, "I don't know? I know better than anyone else," he said, looking at Xia Mengning's eyes and saying word by word: "I know better than anyone how the prince loved You Ruoxin at that time, and I know better than anyone how the prince always thought about You Ruoxin in his heart, and I know better than anyone that the prince chose Xia Mengning because her appearance is five points similar to You Ruoxin." ”

After saying this, Yu Ziran looked at Xia Mengning with a gesture of pity as if relieved: "Miss Xia, do you think you are happier than me and better than me, you got the heart of the prince, just because you are just a stand-in for that You Ruoxin." ”

Eldest Sun Yun couldn't hide his anger, "That's enough! ”

Yu Ziran laughed twice, "It's enough, let Miss Xia know the truth, that's enough." ”

Xia Mengning, who had not spoken, turned her head, looked at Changsun Yun, and asked softly, "Is what she said true, you liked me at the beginning because I looked similar to that person?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun tried her best to control her thoughts, but she completely collapsed when she saw Xia Mengning's somewhat panicked eyes, in her memory, she always looked unfazed, why did she become like this now, was she too much?

"Tell me, don't you?" Xia Mengning raised her face, her eyes full of expectation.

Eldest Sun Yun paused, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, but Xia Mengning shook her head, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time in her eyes slipped down suddenly, "What she said is true, isn't it, I'm just a stand-in, right?" ”

Saying this sentence almost word by word, Xia Mengning only felt as if her chest cavity had been hollowed out, and the cold wind poured into her body one after another, making her almost paralyzed and unable to feel the existence of her body.

Obviously, he has relived a life, he has long since broken off his seven emotions and six desires, he no longer believes that there are real feelings in this world, and he has already cultivated a calm heart, but why, he is so sad now, it was originally a scam, isn't it, in order to survive, for the sake of the future, he took the initiative to attract Changsun Yun, how can he be clean, and he who crawled out of hell didn't he take advantage of Changsun Yun, Xia Mengning thought in a daze, and slowly removed the coral bracelet from his hand.

"What are you doing here?" The eldest grandson Yun looked at her condescendingly, and reached out to block Xia Mengning's hand.

While the two were struggling, the bracelet was broken, and the crystal jade beads fell from their wrists, Xia Mengning was stunned, and then shook off Changsun Yun's hand, took off the jade wrench on his thumb, and put it into Changsun Yun's palm.

"I am not their owner, and now they are their rightful owners."

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she turned around and walked forward step by step, every step was like stepping on a sharp knife, making herself drenched in blood.

"The girl is fine, although it is good to die, it is still a little more tragic."

"Miss Xia only brought four guards, I'm afraid it's not safe for the group to go back, I just happened to stop by, it's better to escort Miss Xia for a ride."

"Listen, Xia Mengning, it's not a good thing to be my princess, do you know that my mansion is a thousand times more troublesome than the people in the prime minister's mansion, I can't protect you at all times, you have to learn to protect yourself."

"I've never seen a woman like you, so strange, but cute, since I gave this finger to you, you have to keep it well, and when I go to ask the emperor for this family business, I will use the marriage post to exchange it with you, okay?"

"If you like it, I'll just laugh at you in the future."

Xia Mengning silently shed tears and walked in the opposite direction, she remembered the first time she met with her eldest grandson, painting, wrenching her fingers, and the pond under the moon, it turned out that all of this was fake, and she was kept in the dark, thinking that it was God's favor, but she didn't know that she was just a stand-in for someone else.

God, should I thank you for giving me this look, so that I can attract the eldest grandson Yun and not live too embarrassingly, but I really hate you, why do you give me this skin, let me fall into the whirlpool of feelings, and be played with between applause like a fool.

"Ning'er!" There was the voice of Changsun Yun behind him, Xia Mengning ignored it, at this moment, a sword was horizontal in front of him, Xia Mengning looked up, it was Leng Xiao beside Changsun Yun, seeing Xia Mengning raising his head, Leng Xiao said expressionlessly: "The prince told you to go back." ”

Xia Mengning smiled bitterly twice, turned around and saw Changsun Yun standing behind him, a strong force burst out of his chest, his sleeves flew up, his two fingers tightly clamped Leng Xiao's sword, and said with a smile: "You also want to stop me?" ”

Leng Xiao only felt that the sword in his hand seemed to be covered by a powerful force, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it back.

This Xia Mengning actually has such a deep internal force?

Leng Xiao was still thinking about countermeasures, Xia Mengning used his fingertips hard, and only heard a 'sonorous' sound, and the sword in Leng Xiao's hand was split in two.

Xia Mengning turned around and looked at the eldest grandson Yun in front of him, "Have you seen it, I'm not the weak Xia Mengning who needs your protection, I will protect myself, without you, I will protect myself." ”

Leng Xiao's face turned angry, and he stretched out his palm to stop Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning took two steps back, gathered all the internal force in his hand, and carried it between the palms of his hands, Leng Xiao saw this, and he was busy and unambiguously gathered inside to meet this palm.

A powerful air flow came towards him, Leng Xiao felt a sense of fear in his heart for the first time, only to feel as if his internal organs had been moved, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, and with a 'wow' sound, blood spurted out of his mouth.

Xia Mengning closed her palm, there was a different expression on her face, Changsun Yun looked at her, there was deep distress in her eyes, "Ning'er ......"

Xia Mengning turned his head and walked forward slowly, Changsun Yun was still behind him, Xia Mengning could feel the gaze from his back, Changsun Yun, things are already like this, why do you still look at me with this kind of eyes.

The corner of the skirt was scraped open by the branches on both sides of the road, Xia Mengning didn't care, raised the cuffs indiscriminately, and wiped the tears on her face.

"Because I don't want you to be left alone with them."

"Even if you don't like it, I'm willing to give you all the good things in this world, you know, in my heart, you are the best in this world, and you deserve the best things in this world."

……

It seemed that the words he had just said were still in his ears, Xia Mengning closed his eyes, and opened them again, his eyes were already clear, as early as that night in the bamboo forest, his expression when he talked about the woman, he should know that the living can never fight the dead, and his heart is only that person.

Walking to the gate, Jiu'er had been waiting there for a long time, but now when she saw Xia Mengning coming over, she looked tired, and hurriedly walked over and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay, let's go." ”

Jiu'er didn't ask any more sensible, took a cloak and put it on Xia Mengning's body, Xia Mengning raised her head, looked at Jiu'er's concerned eyes, and suddenly burst into tears.

Although Leng Xiao was seriously injured, he didn't dare to complain, Changsun Yun stood in place and said lightly: "Next time, without my order, you are not allowed to act without permission, go and get a hundred boards." ”

Leng Xiao's eyes darkened, knowing that his skills were not as good as others, not only did he not stop Xia Mengning, but he was also injured, and he was ashamed in his heart, nodded and retreated.

Changsun Yun stood in place, squatted down and picked up the beads scattered on the ground one by one, he remembered the way she looked in front of him just now, trying to control his tears from falling, Changsun Yun only felt like he had been punched hard in his heart, and the pain started from his chest, covering his whole body.

At first, I was indeed attracted by her similar appearance to Ruoxin, but after so long, I would think about her day and night, and when I saw her happy, I would be happy, and when I saw someone bullying her, I would want to break that person into pieces, and I was also very uncomfortable when I saw her heartbroken in front of me, this feeling was something I had never had with Ruoxin.

Changsun Yun slowly rubbed the wrench in his hand, remembering the moonlight that night, he put it on for her with his own hands, remembering the shallow smile in her eyes, remembering the deep pear vortex on her cheeks when she bent her lips, and remembering her sitting on the bed, looking at her blushing face.

Eldest Sun Yun stood up, are you really empathetic and don't fall in love, Xia Mengning, am I really in love with you?
