Liu Yan entered the door of Lu Yi's house for the first time.

She passed by the door several times, and she was also curious about what the place where Lu Yi lived was like, but she never came in.

This house is only two entrances, which is not big, but it is enough for one person to live.

There are few people in Lu Yi's house, as far as Liu Yan knows, in addition to himself, there are two small servants and an old couple. Do some work like gatekeeping, washing, cleaning, etc.

The yard is not big but it is very neatly cleaned, and as soon as Liu Yan enters the courtyard gate, he smells a faint fragrance of flowers.

It should be osmanthus.

That's right, it's osmanthus.

Liu Yan saw at a glance the osmanthus tree planted next to the door, with thick green leaves and dotted with silver fine flowers.

A little guy in gray came forward, saluted first and then greeted, and the smile on his face was very flattering.

Liu Yan remembers him, mainly because there are only a few people around Lu Yi, and the name is easy to obtain, so he remembers it very well.

This southeast round eyes, round face, very good at talking, he often runs errands, inquires about news, sends messages and sends things, Liu Yan sees him the most times.

"This osmanthus was originally there, or was it transplanted later?"

Southeast smiled and said: "This osmanthus is the same age as this house, we have this flower when we adults move in, although no one carefully cares, but this flower blooms well every year." ”

Lu Yi hurriedly went out and walked down the steps, and when he saw Liu Yan, his pace slowed down.

The sun was blazing, Liu Yan lifted the drape of the hat with one hand, tilted his head slightly, and squinted at the osmanthus tree.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Liu Yan turned his head and smiled at him.

Until many years later, Lu Yi can still clearly remember this smile this afternoon.

Every detail is meticulous, and he has always cherished it in his heart.

"Princess ......"

"I'm coming to see you." Liu Yan glanced at the cloak on the crook of his arm: "Want to go out?" ”

"I have an errand and want to go to the Ruiguo Mansion."

Liu Yan was not surprised at all when he heard this.

Lu Yi explained softly: "Rui Guogong died by eating poison by mistake, and it is best to find out this matter as soon as possible." ”

"I know."

Liu Yan knows how many things Lu Yi has done in the past two years that others are unwilling to do and dare not do.

Yilan Hall was poisoned, the second prince was framed to kill Oiran, and earlier, Zhu was poisoned and died violently, any of these things are big troubles, and others are afraid of avoiding them.

But Lu Yi always jumps into such a fire. These things are not necessarily credited, once something goes wrong, the future is ruined, and once the troubles and entanglements are contaminated, there will be endless troubles.

Lu Yi is obviously a smart person, and he knows the doorway better than Liu Yan.

Why would such a person who is free by nature be willing to stay in the capital and deal with these things all day long?

Liu Yan hadn't thought much about it before.

But now it's different.

She already understood.

He was willing to work like this, more or less, because of her.

If he was still a rebellious son who was despised by everyone, a man who lived uninhibitedly, his father would not have agreed to him becoming a colt.

When did he start trying to get close to her?

Liu Yan's silence made Lu Yi misunderstood, he turned his head to look at the osmanthus of this tree, and then fell in love with the one that bloomed best in his opinion.

Lu Yi stretched out his arm and broke off the osmanthus flower, held it in his palm and handed it to Liu Yan.

"This silver cinnamon is called Li Rui, and the fragrance is rich. The princess came by chance, and the flowers were at their peak. If you come two days early, I'm afraid there won't be so many flowers. If you come two days late, the flowers may be all let the autumn rain fall. ”

Liu Yan took the osmanthus from him.

This flower is really blooming well, and Lu Yi is very discerning. The flowers are tight, and the fragrance of a small cluster of flowers hits people.

When you are far away, you can only smell the sweet fragrance of flowers. But when you get closer, it's easy to tell that this sweet fragrance is mixed with a hint of astringency.

This astringency does not make people feel annoying, but neutralizes the sweetness of the floral fragrance, making people feel refreshing.

"I'm here to see you, and I have nothing to do." Liu Yan said: "Are you going to the Ruiguo Mansion?" I'm going back to the palace too, so we're on the same road. ”

She didn't go into the house, she didn't sit down, she didn't take a sip of tea.

This doesn't look like a serious visit, it's not a visitor.

But Lu Yi understood.

He knew what she was here for, and as she said, she wanted to come and see him, so she came. Now that she's seen it, she's satisfied.

"Thank you for the osmanthus."

Lu Yi's eyes were shining, and he looked at Liu Yan intently, his gaze could almost be called greedy.

She had a freckle or two on her nose and cheeks, and her eyebrows were not overtrimmed like other girls, and were a little too thick for the time of the day. His lips were full and rosy, and he could see even the slightest hairiness on her face.

She is like a pomegranate that is beginning to ripen at this time, fiery and hot, sweet and sweet.

Lu Yi's heart was beating fast.

"I'll send the princess back to the palace first."

Liu Yan asked, "Is it too late?" Will it be a mistake? ”

"Just in time."

He sent Liu Yan to the car, and then followed on horseback.

This time, as if it had been the same as the previous times, he followed the Zhu Gai car, and even the distance did not change.

But this time it's different.

The sun is so blazing, the sky is so high, so blue. The wind blowing on the face carries the fragrance of flowers, sweet and clear.

There were no people on this stretch of the road, and the wheels made a regular noise, and there was the crisp sound of horses' hooves.

Liu Yan played with the osmanthus in his hand.

The small white flowers have not been picked for a long time, and the flowers are still energetic, and the aroma has not faded at all.

She didn't know when this person approached her, and even closer to her heart.

The number of people on the road gradually increased.

The Ruiguo Mansion is located on this street.

White flags were hung outside the door of the house, but the gate was closed, and the door was even more deserted, no one came to pay tribute, and even pedestrians would unconsciously speed up the pace before passing by the door, for fear that if they walked slowly, they would be contaminated with trouble and bad luck.

Liu Yan glanced at the closed door of the Ruiguo Mansion.

The last time I passed by, the paint on this door was still fresh and bright.

It didn't take long for the two doors to look very bleak now, and even the copper nails on the doors seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.

Zhu Gai's car stopped, and Liu Yan lifted the curtain and beckoned to Lu Yi, signaling him to come closer.

"You don't have to send me back to the palace, you can go and get down to business." Liu Yan thought for a while, and then said, "If you go to Liyang after doing this, you must take care of yourself on the way." ”

Lu Yi nodded: "I made a note of it, I will come back early." ”

"Well," Liu Yan said, "I'll wait for you." ”
