He didn't talk about the princess in the east hall.

Zhuang Siyan's words seemed to pull Ling Tiancheng into his memories all of a sudden.

His face was not very good, or very bad, his lips were tightly pursed, although he still held Zhuang Siyan in his arms, but his arms gradually became cold.

Zhuang Siyan is sensible, and he can't wait until people are completely cold and freeze her out before reacting, so he said in advance: "The emperor has been busy outside for a day, and he is tired of coming, let's go back, I think it's almost time for dinner." ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't say anything more, and took her out of the door of the east hall together.

The night was slightly cold, and a crescent moon climbed to the corner of the palace wall at some point, revealing half of its silver face.

The moonlight sprinkled all over the ground, like silver frost.

Zhuang Siyan looked at the elongated figure under the moon, and felt inexplicably strange.

It's not that she hasn't seen Ling Tiancheng sad, and when the two of them got along in the past, his temper wasn't necessarily very good.

It's just that he's better at disguise than others.

But tonight, like this moonlight, although he covered it up for a while, he finally showed all his face, and hung lonely and cold above the night sky.

When Zhuang Siyan raised his head, he also glanced up, and then said to himself, "The moonlight is good tonight." ”

Isn't it good? Zhuang Siyan felt a little cold?

But the cold is that the season has cooled down, and there is a cold snap in the air, and it has nothing to do with the moonlight, so she nodded: "It's good." ”

Ling Tiancheng said again, "Let's sit in the courtyard for a while." ”

When he said this, he didn't seem to ask Zhuang Siyan's opinion, turned his head and called Li Fu, moved the tables and chairs in the room, and added hot tea.

The weather at this time of year is really not very good, it is too cold in the morning and evening, and it is very hot as soon as the sun comes out at noon.

Zhuang Siyan came over at noon, and at that time, in order to facilitate her movement, she was wearing very thin.

At this time, he followed Ling Tiancheng out of the east hall, and he had already caught the wind, and after standing under the moon for a while, his hands were almost frozen into ice.

If she really sat in Dari to admire the moon, she dared to guarantee that she would be able to freeze and shiver in a while.

However, Li Fu went and returned, in addition to bringing tables and chairs, hot tea, and two palace maids, who were holding Zhuang Siyan's clothes in their hands.

Zhuang Siyan didn't talk nonsense, first put on his clothes and warmed himself up, before turning back to look at Ling Tiancheng: "Your Majesty, you are also thinly dressed, why don't you add a piece of clothing?" ”

Ling Tiancheng shook his head, and had already asked Li Fu and the others to retreat.

He personally poured hot tea, put it in front of Zhuang Siyan and said, "It's cold, right?" Drink some hot water first. ”

Zhuang Siyan looked up at him again.

It was obvious that he was in a bad mood, no matter what it was, anyway, how he looked at it at this moment, how wrong it was.

But even when he is in a bad mood, he can still remember to take care of himself, which is really unattainable.

As far as Zhuang Siyan herself is concerned, once she is in a bad mood, no one is in her eyes, as if the whole world is her enemy.

She silently drank the tea.

Seeing that Ling Tiancheng was still sitting there, he even hung his head slightly.

Leaned a little closer to him, let himself stick to his arm, and after a while, Zhuang Siyan whispered: "But what happened before, those are all in the past, Your Majesty, you have me now, and Ling Tiantian, we are also a family." ”

This seemed to touch the heart of the man beside him, he paused for a moment, and finally raised his hand to stroke Zhuang Siyan's head, and then slowly moved his hand to the side of her face along the hair.

Ling Tiancheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he grows up, he doesn't dare to slack off for the sake of the throne, so there are also thin calluses between his palms.

His fingers are slender, and his palms are warm,

When the thin cocoon really reaches Zhuang Siyan's skin, there will be an itchy feeling.

She tilted her head and leaned against him.

The two of them just sat there.

Sit under the moonlight, in the cold palace.

In the eyes of those who don't know, the palace has always been magnificent, and the people who live here represent power and glory.

At the same time, it also represents loneliness and deep sadness.

A person who is high above has never had a friend, because he has chosen a path that no one else can take, and there is only him on that road, no matter how difficult it is, he must move forward step by step.

When Ling Tiancheng was young, he did not covet the throne.

He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he saw the deceit inside, saw you dead and alive, and saw a lot of miserable flesh and blood.

His relatives died tragically in these battles, and the departure of each one of them would make him extremely painful.

So when the dealer took him out to raise him, he was actually very willing.

At that time, he thought how good it would be if he stayed away from the palace, away from the royal family, away from everything here, and became an ordinary person, cutting wood and cultivating every day, and having no quarrel with the world.

But he is a prince, even if he is an unfavored prince, he is still a prince.

Even if he can't exist as a prince, he is still the object of use by others, and a thorn in the side of some people.

So his fate is never in his own hands, where he can go and what he can do, it is up to others to decide.

Later, he also thought about it, and the encounter with Zhuang Siyan at the beginning must have been Zhuang Changyuan's conspiracy.

He had already planned to use his daughter to seduce Ling Tiancheng, maybe he had other thoughts at that time, but the world was changeable, and the situation in the DPRK and China would not always be satisfactory.

And when Ling Tiancheng lived in Zhuangfu, he really didn't show how ambitious and ambitious he was, and his only thought was that little woman.

Thinking of this, Ling Tiancheng hugged the person in his arms tighter again.

She's the same as herself.

It's all arranged by others, and fate is never in her own hands, and it's not up to her to decide who she loves and who she wants to be with.

Now that they can be together, even Ling Tiancheng himself feels lucky.

If at that time, he did not get the throne, if at that time, Zhuang Siyan married Jia Mingyuan a day earlier, before he succeeded to the throne.

Then they may not have a fate in this life.

Everyone noticed the strength on his body, Zhuang Siyan looked up at him, and asked softly, "What do you think of again?" ”

Ling Tiancheng smiled at her, the corners of his mouth curved upward, like a distant crescent moon on the horizon, obviously bright, but also with a lonely cold.

"Nothing, just some past."

After a pause, he asked again, "You want to know how Jing Ning died?" ”

Jing Ning is the second princess of the Dasheng Dynasty and Ling Tiancheng's own sister.

When he asked this, his tone was calm, as if he were talking about someone else's business.

But Zhuang Siyan knew that in such an indifferent place as the palace, it was his relatives, and he died for him, he must feel uncomfortable.

Although she really wanted to know, and she only appeared here today for this matter, she was still very distressed when she saw Ling Tiancheng's appearance at this time.

And he said against his will, "If you don't want to mention it, I won't ask." ”

Ling Tiancheng just smiled.

This time he laughed a little strangely, and laughed out loud.

At first, Zhuang Siyan thought that he didn't care, but he didn't expect that the laughter would become bitter in the end.

After a while, he said: "You're right, it's all in the past, hiding it in your heart, it's not much different from taking it out." ”

Is that really the case?

Zhuang Siyan didn't know, although she also had secrets, but compared to Ling Tiancheng, her secrets were really not called anything, at most they were just the thoughts of a little daughter's family, so she didn't answer this.

Ling Tiancheng poured her another cup of hot water, helped her body and said, "Sit down, drink the hot tea first, warm your hands, and I'll tell you slowly." ”

Zhuang Siyan was unusually obedient, sat down obediently, drank water obediently, and looked at him obediently.

Ling Tiancheng looked at her again and smiled.

Jing Ning's story is very short, pinch the head and go to the end, just one sentence.

Someone framed him back then, but his sister, who was a few years younger than him, took the charge for him and was killed.

But this is strictly speaking, another big conspiracy.

Who is going to murder the prince? Who turned the black hand to the princess? How did they kill the princess? Why is the news that he is sick and dead?

It's just a little girl of four or five years old, oh, she doesn't know anything, what makes her willing to die for her brother?

When Ling Tiancheng was seven or eight years old, his IQ and EQ were already quite high, and he was a leader among the princes, and he had the support of the dealer behind him, so he became the biggest threat to the princes.

Although the old emperor did not have the heart to pass on the throne to him at that time, it was precisely because of this that those who wanted to get the throne in the first place looked at him even more unpleasantly.

Not to mention that he grew up according to the trend of the year, he will inevitably compete for the position when he grows up.

Even if he doesn't fight and becomes the king of one side in the future, it will become the biggest threat to the superiors.

The princes are still young, even if they can't see the situation clearly, but behind each prince, there is a mother concubine first, and then a group of corresponding ministers to support them, but they see this situation clearly.

No one wanted to have an extra roadblock in front of them, so they wanted to move Ling Tiancheng away.

But if you want to move Ling Tiancheng anywhere, you must know that Zhuang Changyuan also went to the throne back then.

He has such a good card in his hand, how can he allow others to move when he says it.

So this situation of fighting in the dark has been stalemate for a long time, and the snobbery of all parties is competing in court and private every day.

Ling Tiancheng, as the head of all the princes, was usually cautious when he even went out.

But no matter how careful you are, you can't stop the ubiquitous calculations of others.

At the palace flower banquet one year, he was calculated.

The routine is very old, but the person who can't stop the move is vicious.

At that time, Ling Tiancheng went to the flower banquet with his sister, along with their mother and concubine, and of course it was the same in other palaces.

The adults are together, smiling on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are all calculating.

Although the children also have a problem in their hearts, they are all children after all, so when it comes to really playing, they put this matter aside.

Ling Tian came with his sister with him, and later a little girl from a courtier's family came to him and wanted to play with them.

He didn't know the girl at the time, but later learned that she was the daughter of a minister who supported another prince.

A little girl, smart and clever, came to play with them, there was no threat on the surface, and there were no adults on the side, so Ling Tiancheng and his sister did not refuse.

But no one expected that after the three of them were together for only a moment, the little girl suddenly fell to the ground.

They were still children at the time, after all, and had no idea what was going on.

Ling Tiancheng's instinct was to go over and see if she was sick.

But as soon as he walked over, someone from the palace immediately appeared, exclaiming that he had killed someone.

Ling Tiancheng was a little stunned at that time, he hadn't even met that girl yet, how could the other party know that he had killed someone?
