As soon as she walked out a few steps, Wanxiang suddenly realized that Xiao Huaijin was a little aggrieved when she just spoke, so she turned around and stood on tiptoe and said in Xiao Huaijin's ear: "I'll come back soon and cook fish and meat soup for the prince." ”

The person in front of him smiled, and said for the broken hair of Wanxiang's sideburns: "Go ahead." ”

Then I watched her leave step by step.

……

The deep corridor in the outer courtyard of East Street stretches like years, the chic pavilion is accompanied by lush old trees, and the singing of women lingers leisurely in the pavilion.

The person with a sad face leaned on the railing and sang softly to the slow flowing water below, the words in the song were her own words, and the people in the song were also people in this courtyard.

It was so quiet here, with a Wei Rui lying inside, and a maid who had been given to her by the incense was standing next to her. Wanxiang looked around, but she didn't see where the little prince of the Suiguo Mansion was.

As soon as she walked into the pavilion, Wei Rui immediately looked back at her, wiped her reddened eyes seemingly unintentionally, and forced a far-fetched smile to look at Wanxiang: "You're here." ”

"See him?"

"yes."

"It looks like you're not happy with each other."

"His mother died in prison because of me, how can we be happy together?"

"Even without you, Princess Yongsheng must die." Wanxiang told her with a firm expression: "Because she knows too much, but she can't control her mouth." ”

Wei Rui nodded, her smiling face immediately became a little bitter, she looked at the groups of swimming fish in the water stupidly, sprinkled a few grains into it, and the originally orderly and quiet swimming fish came together and fought for a head to break the bloodstream.

She sighed: "Your yard is really good, the scenery is pleasant, I don't want to leave if I live here." ”

"There is no shortage of this courtyard in the palace, and it is empty if it is empty, if you like it, you will live here in the future." It was rare for Wanxiang to lower her tone to outsiders, and she wanted to do her best to make Wei Rui feel better.

But Wei Rui lowered the corners of her mouth: "But what I like is not only this courtyard, but also your husband, the rare lover in the world." ”

Before the words fell, the corners of Wanxiang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, but the words came to her mouth, but she couldn't speak. Seeing her panic for a moment, Wei Rui turned her head and mocked mercilessly: "Look at you, you're scared, it's just a joke."

I just envy you for loving the right person. People are not afraid of infatuation, but only afraid of wrong payment. If that person is right, what if he holds a red heart? ”

Wanxiang casually put the blue-glazed porcelain bowls on the desk to her nose and sniffed, smelling the medicinal smell inside, and asked Wei Rui with a frown: "Where did it come from?" ”

"He brought it."

Wanxiang hurriedly asked, "You drank it?!" ”

"I'm a mother, and no matter how much I do, I can't let others kill my own children."

"And that's how he stopped?"

"The people in your yard have to use it, and they will be driven out."

This will make Wei Rui look very indifferent, so indifferent that people can't feel how sad she is.

"You've been in Qingyuefang for so long, don't you know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and men's hearts are the most fickle?" Wanxiang sat on the mat, asked the maid on the side to take down the blue-glazed porcelain bowl, and then said to Wei Rui: "No matter who you are, whether it is the king of the world, whether it is a woman like you and me, you and I should not take your relationship between men and women too seriously. ”

"That'...... What's left? ”

"After all, there are many mountains and rivers in this world that you have never seen, and many things that you have never experienced. What about you? Just live in this courtyard and do something right.

Clothing, gold, silver and jade ornaments, makeup powder and rouge, no one can understand these better than you. Saying that, Wanxiang held Wei Rui's hand, and never comforted a person so softly: "Give birth to the child, and take him to the mountains and rivers when he earns money."

If a boy grows up, he will go to learn martial arts with Liang Cuo and go to the battlefield like Fuyu. If it is a girl, you can teach her to read, read, and recite poems, teach her to play the piano and sing music, grow up freely, and then find a good family when she grows up.

If you don't want to stay in the Imperial City, go to a place where no one knows you and start over, and I'll bring you a plate to set up a courtyard. The world is so big, can't you still tolerate a little you?

When someone asks about the father of the child, you say...... He's dead. ”

"Dead?"

Wanxiang nodded seriously: "Yes!" Just as if he were dead. You have children as companions, playing the piano, embroidering, doing some small business, and you are very busy, as long as your heart is full, you will not think about anything else.

If the people of the Suiguo Mansion still don't let you go, I want to make them take care of themselves. At worst, poison a few restless ones, and they will be completely honest. ”

Wanxiang said lightly, as if killing someone was as simple as crushing an ant.

Wei Rui thought carefully about Wanxiang's words, looked at the green in front of her, and looked at Wanxiang with some doubts: "If this empty heart is really so easy to fill, why would those girls rather spend thousands of dollars to redeem themselves than go with a poor scholar?"

In the final analysis, it's still to be with the person you admire, and to have a stable rest of your life. ”

She looked at Wanxiang expectantly, waiting for her to say something more, but Wanxiang didn't disappoint her in the end: "This is probably because everyone has their own ambitions."

You can't talk about your suffering, do they really have no suffering at all? Guarding the courtyard of the Quartet to live, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, pretending to be generous and virtuous.

If the husband has some skills, add one or two new people, and beware of those concubines, who have to fight with them from time to time for the same man.

In the matter of love, men don't have to follow the rules, at most they have to be nagged by others, and they have a reputation of being 'amorous'.

And women, if they are careless, they will be blamed, and they will be sent back to their parents' homes without a head or face, or they will be tortured to death. It's got to this point, you might as well see it through. ”

"Be more transparent...... Wei Rui muttered to herself, leaning comfortably on the cushion and asking Wanxiang, "What about you?" Can you see through? ”

"Me?"

"What if your prince wants to kill your children with his own hands?"

Without thinking about it, she replied firmly: "He won't." ”

Wei Rui asked, "Why not?" ”

"It just won't."

"The human heart is unpredictable, and the man's heart is the most fickle. But you said that. Wei Rui asked, and when she saw that Wanxiang couldn't answer for a while, she hid her face and laughed: "You see, you have never been able to heal yourself."

Put it on yourself, and those principles will not be used at all. Do you believe he won't, or is it because if he did, you wouldn't know what to do with it? So you don't dare to think about it at all? ”

She broke through Wanxiang's mind so easily, and forced Wanxiang to be speechless.

In the end, Wei Rui still gave her a peace of mind: "If you swim in the river, you can analyze it in the middle of the world." The love between men and women in this world still exists.

Your prince stands up to the sky, and the two of you support each other to this day, he knows how to cherish and is willing to hold up a world for you.

And my little son-in-law is timid to even say a word to his mother. I understand and understand all those words and truths. But I just can't restrain myself, I can't cut off the threads of love.

I also knew that it would be difficult for me to get to him, but it was because I was lucky with this feeling......"

She couldn't go any longer, her eyes were moist, and she turned her head to look at the sky beyond the pavilion, and when she saw a pair of birds flying over and perching on the branches, she showed a look of admiration.

The pain that happened to her, Wanxiang didn't dare to think about it. It's like I haven't dared to think about it all the time: what if one day even Xiao Huaijin betrays him.

If you don't dare to think about it, you don't think about it, and if it doesn't happen anyway, you keep avoiding this problem, which is probably what Wei Rui said, 'being lucky with feelings'.

"People naturally want to live freely." Wei Rui stretched out her white fingers to wipe the wet corners of her eyes: "If you can't get it, you shouldn't force it." Wanxiang, you dare to love and hate, and you must love your prince more than yourself.

Although I hope that you will spend 100 days, I have to ask you to leave a few more points for yourself. ”

Saying that, Wei Rui no longer looked at Wanxiang, stretched out her hand and was helped up by the maid on the side, and looked at her who was about to walk with her, but was stopped by her: "Okay, you go back quickly, your prince is still waiting for you." I want to be on my own for a while. ”

The green silk on her head hung down, outlining a soft side face but not the disappointment in her eyes.

Wanxiang thought that Wei Rui was just like those girls who had lost their good looks in the Zangxiang Pavilion, and after a few days of depression, she could walk back into the light by relying on the light she was holding in her hand.

But she didn't know that the light in Wei Rui's hand had already disappeared when the little boy handed over the bowl of soup.

Wei Rui's sparkling heart hides three points of innocence, just that few points of innocence are enough to make her mistakenly believe that she can get rid of everything and walk to the person in her dreams.

Even if she knew that Xiao Huaiyue was using herself, she knew that Princess Yongsheng's one look was enough to make her doomed, and she knew that if she was not careful, she would drag the entire Pingnan Mansion into the water.

But she did it anyway, but it turned out to be nothing more than a delusion.

That night, she poured the flower oil she used to comb her hair on her shoulders and borrowed a little spark to set the whole room on fire.

The fish soup was put in front of Xiao Huaijin, and Liang Cuozheng and Fu Yu were enjoying the moon and drinking.

From a distance, the people of Pingnan Wangfu saw billowing smoke rising in the direction of Dongjie, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky, just like the dragon lantern at the Lantern Festival.

Fu Yu pointed in the direction of the fire: "It's on fire!" ”

Liang Cuo looked back and found that there seemed to be a house in that direction that belonged to the palace, so he put down the wine cup and turned around to go out with his sword, and met Qiu Di who came to deliver fish soup at the door of the Fuyu courtyard, and Liang Cuo grabbed her shoulder: "Is the prince in the east courtyard?" ”

Qiu Di was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Here, I'm having dinner with the princess." The princess cooked the fish soup with her own hands, and asked me to bring you some. ”

Liang Cuo didn't say any more, threw down Qiu Di and ran towards the east courtyard. By the time he arrived at the East Courtyard, Juanxiang had already noticed that there was a fire in the direction of East Street.

But it was too late, too late to make up for it.

Seeing Wei Rui's beams of the house smashing down the roof and couching down, the firelight burned the cheeks of the red incense, and the eyes were choked with tears from the smoke.

Wei Rui...... Wei Rui! Wanxiang desperately wanted to rush in, delusionally thinking that she could save two lives from this fire, delusionally thinking that there would be a twist and turn at this moment, and she would not call the ending so cruel.

Xiao Huaijin pulled Wanxiang back and hugged her tightly in her arms: "She can't live." ”

"She's still in there, and she still has a baby!" Wanxiang turned around and looked at Xiao Huaijin with pleading eyes: "Lord Wang, she's still inside......"

"The whole house burned down."

Wanxiang seemed to be frightened and didn't want to believe it, looking at Xiao Huaijin blankly, and unconsciously burst into tears. She finally came to her senses, and she finally understood that with such a big fire, no one would come out of it alive at all.

Xiao Huaijin almost never saw her cry, and hugged her tightly into her arms to prevent her from seeing the fire: "Don't be afraid. ”
