On the way back to the East Palace, Bai Muguan was sad, and Tong's words echoed in his ears over and over again. She knew what an arrogant son of heaven Yu Wenye was, and he actually knelt down for her? Tong's attitude was resolute and unturnable, and her heart hurt when she thought of this.

Xiangyun saw that her young lady was in an unusually low mood today, and she didn't dare to say much, and Bai Muguan walked in front along the way, so she buried her head in the follow. Until Bai Muguan suddenly stopped, Xiangyun raised his head and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an." ”

On the steps, Yu Wenye stood tall and jade, his two sword eyebrows were deeply frowned, his bottomless eyes were dark and dark, and his perfect thin lips were pursed and silent. The condescending posture of the person who was already noble and natural made it difficult to breathe in the surrounding atmosphere.

The two phases were silent for a while, and Bai Muguan turned his head sideways and whispered: "Xiangyun, you step back first." These words made the polite little girl feel relieved, and she fled impatiently, leaving the delicate atmosphere to the two masters alone.

staring at her thoughtfully for a long time, Yu Wenye slowly opened his mouth: "Where did you go today?" ”

"Where do I go and what does it have to do with Your Highness? Today is a good day for Tong Liangdi to enter the East Palace, shouldn't His Royal Highness accompany the bride? This is what the queen wants to see the most. Bai Muguan gritted his teeth, the grievances in his heart couldn't be held back after all, and he vomited at this moment.

"Guanguan!" Yu Wenye's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and the center of his eyebrows was almost twisted into Sichuan characters, "You know that my heart is tied to you, why do you deliberately poke my heart with these words?" ”

Bai Muguan's beautiful eyes were full of tears, full of grievances and sourness, and even her mouthpiece was sour, and she choked up if she wanted to hold on: "The queen despises and dislikes me, in her eyes, I am a bad woman who disregards secular etiquette and does not hesitate to seduce her cousin-in-law in order to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix...... How is it worthy to serve His Highness? ”

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenye suddenly looked flustered, walked down the steps quickly and grabbed her shoulder, and asked anxiously: "Is the queen mother embarrassed you?" You weren't called by Mu Rou to return to the Lan Hall today, how did you meet the queen mother? What exactly is going on, you say! ”

In the face of his deep anxiety and worry, Bai Muguan's expression was a little blank, his eyes were red, and tears fell one after another.

Yu Wenye exhaled the turbidity in his chest, took her into his arms, and gently comforted her first: "Don't worry, everything is with me, don't be afraid." ”

The girl leaned on his shoulder dependently, and after briefly describing what happened in Kunning Palace today, her grievances turned into tears, wetting his luxurious silk brocade robe.

Yu Wenye reached out and patted her vest like a knife, yes, no matter how clever and brave he was, he was still a young child after all. What's more, the person who humiliated her today was not someone else, but his mother, the most noble queen of the Middle Palace of the Cullinan Dynasty. When their mother and son confronted each other that day, the Tong clan's decision, he should know that the girl he liked was not worth mentioning in his mother's heart, and because of this, in the future, he would welcome her into the East Palace in a beautiful manner and compensate her twice.

At nightfall, Yu Wenye left Qingyun Pavilion, and tonight he should go to Tongyao's Furong Pavilion to settle down, so Bai Muguan just sent him off silently, and his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Bi Long quickly removed the hairpin ring earrings for the girl sitting in front of the bronze mirror, the girl looked directly at the candlestick in front of the table and was stunned, her apricot eyes were red and pitiful, and the crystal tears in her eyes kept rolling but always forbearance and did not allow it to drop.

Suddenly, the girl sighed: "The candle flame is flickering, tonight is the candle night of His Highness and Tong Liangdi's cave room." ”

Bi Long looked at the girl very distressed, and persuaded softly: "Miss, Your Highness only cares about Miss in her heart, and this is enough." ”

Bai Muguan shook his head lightly, as if smiling, and held Bilong's hand to signal that she didn't have to worry too much.

At this moment, Xiangyun hurriedly broke in and shouted: "Miss, Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't go to Furong Pavilion tonight, went to Mulan Pavilion!" ”

Mulan Pavilion? That was Zheng Yuan's residence. Bai Muguan subconsciously came back to his senses, and couldn't help but secretly slander Yu Wenye why he went to Mulan Pavilion? It's just tonight, the first night Tong Liangdi entered the East Palace, could it be because of ...... A thought quickly crossed her mind.

"That's it, it has nothing to do with us where Your Highness stays, I'm a little sleepy after a tiring day, you all retreat." As soon as the words fell, Bai Muguan got up and walked towards the inner room alone.

Bi Long and Xiangyun glanced at each other, and retreated in unison. Until he heard the sound of the door closing, Bai Muguanfu walked out of the inner room again, looking at the moonlight outside the hall through the delicately carved pear blossom wood frame screen. It's the fifteenth day of the month, and the moon will be extraordinarily round on the fifteenth day of every month. As the saying goes, thousands of miles are together, but she always feels that the moon in the capital is not as complete as the moon in Mobei.

……

At the same time, Suzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, is also full moon, although it is far away, it still enjoys a bright moon for thousands of miles.

The night in early spring is as cool as water, and the warm and rainy Jiangnan is no exception. The sky above Suzhou is full of stars, quiet and harmonious. The moon is clear and the sky is full of brilliance.

The moonlight is so soft that it reflects the ingenious pavilions and rockery paintings, the shadows of the trees shroud the sultry night, and a slender shadow is still in front of the pavilion. Sometimes he looked up at the starry sky, sometimes he looked down and sighed, and the air was filled with a sense of endless loneliness. Letting the night wind infect his body and the chill rise, the man didn't know how long he had been standing.

He seemed to be waiting for something, until someone hurriedly trotted over, handed over a bamboo tube with both hands, and said respectfully: "Childe, this is a letter from the capital, please take a look." ”

He hurriedly opened the bamboo tube, glanced at ten lines, and exhaled deeply after reading it, his lips were slightly curved upward, and the just right curvature was amazing.

Suddenly, he raised his head, turned his face as delicate as jade, and said inadvertently: "Huiyao, it's time for you to go to the capital to help her, Xiaoguan is in crisis in the capital, and she is not doing well." ”

The young man known as Hui Yao lowered his eyes and sighed silently when he heard this, and said a little helplessly: "Gongzi worries about Miss Bai every day, but there is no need to do it. Miss Bai is now favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital, and her maternal grandfather's Rongguo Mansion is taking care of her, so there will be no mistakes left and right. ”

"Nonsense!" He raised his eyebrows and reprimanded, and then smiled bitterly, "The crown prince is the prince of a country, and all he considers is the overall situation, how can I entrust Xiaoguan's safety to him?" ”

As for the Rongguo Mansion, don't mention it!

Hui Yao disagreed, and retorted: "Gongzi completely remembers Miss Bai in his heart, don't you think about yourself and the Zhu family at all?" ”

Although Hui Yao knows the mystery of his son-in-law's life experience, and he is also very clear about the true relationship between his son-in-law and Miss Bai, he understands his son-in-law's current situation and identity better.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Closing the curvature of the corners of his lips, his eyes as he looked at Hui Yao were full of trust.

"In order to secretly protect Miss Bai, you have repeatedly exposed the power of the Zhu family, and you did not hesitate to fold three Zhuangzi. Miss Bai is far away in the capital and has no idea! Over the years, they only know that the family is rich and the world, and they are unfathomable in terms of power, so they are very in awe. The lord treats you as a parent and son, and lets you take over the Zhu family, not for you to accidentally ruin the Zhu family in the future. Hui Yao's words were fierce, especially when he finished the last sentence, he regretted his words, and hurriedly asked for the guilt, "If your subordinates commit crimes, please also ask your son to punish them." ”

He stared at Hui Yao's pupils, and said seriously: "You are not wrong, the Zhu family treats me like a mountain, but life is selfish, if anyone dares to hurt Xiaoguan in this world, even if I lose the entire Zhu family, I will be broken with it." ”

For him, nothing is more important than his Xiaoguan.

Hui Yao nodded: "Miss Bai saved Childe's life, and she can be regarded as a great favor to Childe." ”

"I'd like to be alone for a while."

"The night is dewy and the sky is cold, the son is careful of his body, and his subordinates will retire." Seeing Hui Yao turn around and walk away, he took out a jade pendant from his wide sleeve, which was a high-grade chicken blood plum blossom jade pendant, a rare and superb in the world. No one knew that this jade pendant was originally two pieces, one was held in his palm at the moment, and the other was tied around Bai Muguan's waist every day.

The night wind blew his sideburns black hair, the cold was pressing, he suddenly found that there was an extra cloak on his shoulders, and then a familiar and gentle voice sounded behind him: "Brother is sick and so careless, I don't know how to wear more clothes when I come out to admire the moon at night, Yu'er is about to enter Beijing to be selected, and I can't accompany my brother every day in the future, brother must remember to take care of himself." ”

He showed a shallow smile, looked back at the beautiful girl in front of him, and asked with concern: "It's late at night, why hasn't Yu'er slept yet?" ”

Zhu Linyu lowered his head and sighed: "Thinking that the departure day is approaching, I really can't sleep." ”

His slender fingers caressed the green silk that she was scattered behind her head, and smiled gently: "If according to the ancestral system of the Tianxi Dynasty, the daughter of Shang Jia would not be eligible to participate in His Majesty's draft, and this year, the Empress Niang Kai allowed the imperial merchant woman to participate in the election, which is considered a great grace." Even in order to show the benevolence of heaven, His Majesty will select a few daughters of imperial merchants to enter the palace. Yu'er, you are outstanding in appearance and talent, you will not be defeated in the future, so you don't need to worry too much. ”

Zhu Linyu was born in the first imperial merchant family of the Tianxi Dynasty, and the eldest lady of the Zhu family, who is rich enough to rival the country, has been pampered since she was a child. She will not covet the so-called royal glory, on the contrary, she wishes that she would lose the election, if it were not for the Zhu family, only one of her daughters must run, she would not go.

Thinking of this, she took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around him, and whispered: "Brother doesn't understand my thoughts, I just want to accompany my brother for the rest of my life, and bear the knees of my father." ”

He habitually rubbed Zhu Linyu's long soft and untied hair, and said in a relaxed tone: "Silly girl, even if there is no draft, you should be planning to marry someone at the age of seventeen, how can you stay at home for the rest of your life?" Although your father can afford to support you for a lifetime, you can't be laughed at as an old girl. ”

"Brother......" has a slightly coquettish tone, a sweet voice is soft and glutinous, Zhu Linyu buried his little face deep in his arms, and quietly burst into tears.

Since she accidentally learned two years ago that he was not her brother-in-law, and that there was no blood relationship between them, her feelings for him had changed. I remember that she was surprised and delighted at the time. The surprise is that this secret has been hidden from the world, no one inside and outside the family knows except for his father and mother, and even her Zhu Linyu has been hidden for more than ten years. The joy is that she has the right to like him, they are not brother and sister, although everyone thinks they are brothers and sisters of the same mother. And he is Zhu Yanqing, the young master of the Zhu family who is extremely intelligent in the eyes of outsiders.

patting her fragrant shoulder, Zhu Yanqing let go of the girl in his arms who had been called his sister for seventeen years, and said softly with a complicated and vague smile: "Okay, okay, what a girl she is, and she still looks like a child." ”

Zhu Linyu reluctantly spread his hand, and smiled with a smile: "Brother, if I am elected to the palace, can you still protect me?" ”

He lowered his eyes to meet her hopeful gaze, nodded and promised: "Of course, Yu'er, you are the pearl in the palm of my father and mother. Being a brother will definitely not let you be bullied and wronged, and the swords, mountains and fires are bound to protect you. ”

After listening to his answer, Zhu Linyu smiled with great satisfaction: "I know that my brother treats me best, and with my brother here, Yu'er will never be afraid." ”

He has treated her very well since she was a child, not only fulfilling the responsibility of being an eldest brother, but also doting on her extraordinarily, so that Zhu Linyu never suspected that he was not his own brother before. Of course, Zhu Yanqing would not let her discover that his gaze on her would always be extremely complicated, hiding mysteries that she would never understand.

The person who should have been carefully cared for by him should be his Xiaoguan, not Zhu Linyu in front of him. It's ridiculous that now he can only watch his Xiaoguan face the unknown wind and waves alone in the capital, and his daughter's family bears the rise and fall of the family alone...... Although all this has nothing to do with the fault of the Zhu family, on the contrary, the second elder of the Zhu family treats him as his own, but unfortunately he will never forget that it is the blood of the Bai family's sons and daughters flowing in his body......
