When the news of Xin Guiren's pregnancy came from the palace, I was eating the lychee sent by my brother, which was a good thing, and I heard Aya say that it had to be transported from a long distance, first by water and then by land, and someone had to take care of it along the way, in short, it was precious.

"Princess, someone from Ling Ji said that the carriage was not usable today, it seems that the horse didn't know what to eat, and vomited and diarrhea."

Ling Ji is the big guard next to me, and he usually takes care of me when I travel, and when Aya tells me that the carriage can't be used, I already have the packed lychees and prepare to go to the palace to see my sister-in-law.

Looking at the long street of Lingshui Street, I seriously thought about whether it would be okay if I walked to the palace.

"Princess."

Just when I was struggling, Ling Ji came over with another carriage, and there were two bells hanging around the horse's neck, and when I shook my neck, the bell would ring, and I couldn't help but step forward and touch the horse's head.

"Ling Ji, where are you looking for a horse, so good." When I said this, the horse was rubbing my hand with his head down, the two little bells looked really small, in fact, I have loved bells since I was a child, especially the silver ones, I often think that if I hang the bell around my waist, my daughter's house walks softly, it is a long way away, and you can also let people know that it is you who are coming, then the person who is waiting can look forward to you with a kind of anticipation, the bell rings gently, knowing that you must come, there is joy in the heart.

But I didn't look forward to the people who were waiting for me.

Because of this bell, I like the horses even more, so I said again: "Ling Ji, you can ask if the horses in this house can be sold to me later, and it doesn't hurt if the price is high." ”

"Princess..."Ling Ji's expression looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't say anything for a long time, he has always been cheerful, and now it makes me very confused, but before I can ask clearly, the voice from the carriage will explain it for me.

"If the princess likes it, the minister is willing to give it to the princess, why is the price high, only to take nothing."

I am most familiar with this voice, looking at the carriage, a bony hand lifted the curtain, and the white sleeves were embroidered with a few clear bamboo leaves, which was very beautiful, and Jiang Zitang was looking at me with a smile.

I didn't dare to look at the handsome young man who the entire Chang'an girl was thinking about day and night, so I had to pull Ling Ji aside, a little at a loss, and even his tone became eager: "You, why did you pull Prime Minister Jiang's carriage here, and you didn't ask me first." ”

"Princess...... The little one was about to say before, originally the little one was going out to look for a horse, but he happened to meet Prime Minister Jiang and was going to the palace, he asked the little one when he was in a hurry, and after informing him, the prime minister said that he would go together, and it would save the little one a waste of time to find a horse. ”

In fact, Ling Ji did not hesitate, but how could this person be Jiang Zitang, he should have thought of it a long time ago, the carriage was not the style of the princess's mansion at first glance, but he was attracted by the horse earlier, alas.

Ling Ji sighed when she saw me, thinking that I didn't like it, so she scratched her ears and cheeks for a long time before she asked carefully: "Princess, why don't you go and find another car?" It's just that the princess needs to wait a while. ”

It's later, it's a big deal, it's better to have dinner at my sister-in-law's than the embarrassment of riding in the same carriage, in this case, I still have to talk to Jiang Zitang first, it's always bad to brush off people's kindness for no reason.

It's just that when I stood in front of Jiang Zitang, I found that I couldn't speak.

"Princess, but there are still things to bring? It doesn't matter, the minister can wait here, when the princess is sorted out, and when the minister will set off again. ”

Jiang Zitang said this very beautifully, I thought of good excuses were blocked by him, but I was surprised when he became so patient, I looked up at him, there was no trace of impatience in those starry eyes, but a shallow smile, he asked me: "Is this good, princess?" ”

The carriage was driving on the streets of Chang'an, and the shouting of the street vendors really reminded me that I was really sitting in the same carriage with Jiang Zitang, in fact, I had a reason to refuse, and the worst thing was to say that I would not go, but maybe I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart, and it would be good to stay with him for a while.

"Princess, this is Jiangnan's new snow leaf tea, try it."

"Thank you."

"Why should the princess be so polite, you and I don't have to say this."

What is between you and me, and between you and me? It's just the relationship between the princess and the courtiers.

I wanted to say something, but my lips were very dry, so I had to sip the tea one by one, sweet and astringent, and it really hit my heart at the moment.

A plate of preserves was pushed in front of me, followed by raisins, sugar cakes, dried flowers and fruits, and small peach cakes...... I hurriedly pressed my hand against the next plate of fragrant pear cake, and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister Jiang, enough is enough." ”

Jiang Zitang heard that he had closed the small door of the secret compartment, but his eyes were slightly suspicious, and he looked at me and asked, "Princess, is it really enough?" ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, this is to go to the palace and not to the mountain village and countryside, not to mention that it is just a short journey, and I am not hungry for a few days without eating.

Hearing him ask me like this, I nodded hurriedly, for fear that Jiang Zitang would take out something more, in fact, I was really curious about the dark grid on the carriage, at first I thought it was a book or other cups of tea that Jiang Zitang wanted to read on weekdays, but I didn't expect that there were so many snacks.

"It's enough," Jiang Zitang smiled gently, picked up a piece of sugar crisp cake and handed it to me, "Chen Ke still remembers that the princess used to be very good at eating." ”

Two slender fingers pinched a piece of pastry and handed it to me like that, with a smile on his lips, and even his eyes seemed to have a smile, I have only seen Jiang Zitang once.

I took the pastry he handed me and took a bite, it was very sweet and sweet, but my heart was very bitter, I put down the pastry in my hand, I lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, so that I could take advantage of the wind to dispel some depression.

"The princess doesn't like that? There is still ...... here."

"No need, Prime Minister Jiang," I looked at Jiang Zitang and looked directly at him for the first time, not only my lips were astringent, but also my eyes were astringent, "Prime Minister Jiang, just because I loved to eat in the past doesn't mean that I love to eat now, besides, there are too many of them, and it will be wasted if I can't finish eating." ”

Jiang Zitang's hand holding the pastry trembled slightly, I don't know if he didn't hold it steady or what, the pastry fell on the table and rolled down several times, I hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but before I lowered my head, the outstretched hand was grabbed by Jiang Zitang with a snap.

I now regret that I did not refuse Jiang Zitang's kindness to ride in the carriage because of my own careful thinking, and at this moment his hand grabbed my wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that I would run away, and I also looked up and was surprised by his actions, but I was startled by his appearance.

In my eyes, Jiang Zitang has always been a humble gentleman who is calm and calm, I have never seen him full of panic, and even spoke with a cautious look, as if he asked me at this moment: "You say, what you loved to eat in the past does not mean that you love to eat now, so will the person who liked it in the past still like it now?" ”

It turned out that what he wanted to ask was this, presumably he was really entangled and scared by me, and he was still afraid of being the prime minister for a while, too, I am now the princess of Changle who Emperor Jingde put on the tip of his heart, and I am no longer the comfortable little pitiful who can't even eat a full meal, he must be afraid that I will still pester him now, and because my identity is not good, I refuse at will, so I have this question.

That's right, who made me always a person who doesn't talk much.

When Jiang Zitang stood around the corner and said coldly to me that I gave him something that he couldn't avoid in time, I really heard that something broke in my heart, just like I was pushed into the pond by the eldest princess in the cold winter of the moon, no, it was colder than that, at least I didn't shed tears at that time.

"I know, Brother Jiang, I, I won't send you anything in the future, don't be upset."

Jiang Zitang nodded lightly, Xu I was crying really ugly, he sighed and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to me, and said to me: "Princess, don't cry, don't be like this in the future." ”

The handkerchief handed over seemed to still carry his body temperature, and the corners of the handkerchief were embroidered with a few green bamboo leaves, how sad I was at his refusal a moment ago, how happy I was with his gift at this moment, such a beautiful handkerchief, I was reluctant to wipe my tears and get wet, and I was reluctant to return him.

Of course, Jiang Zitang didn't give me a chance to pay it back, as if he had thrown a few pieces of silver to me on the street before, and now he also gave me a handkerchief and turned his head away, but my heart seems to be full of stars, and it is extremely brilliant.

The handkerchief was neatly folded by me and placed under the pillow, so that the possibility of dreaming of Jiang Zitang every night was a little bigger.

I didn't keep my promise, I couldn't hide my joy for him, I still wanted to tell him about it when I heard it and saw something delicious, and I wanted to give it to him, and since I couldn't give it away, I would talk more.

"Today, I heard from the little palace maid who swept the floor outside that the eldest princess had a very big dog, but this dog bit the buttocks of the third prince, and it took several days to lie down before she could get up."

"But the coward of the third prince didn't even dare to say a big word, so he knew that he was fierce at me, hum."

"Also, I heard that the second princess has been very close to the prince of Qiyang recently, the prince of Qiyang is not a good person, I have seen him many times holding the little palace maid in the palace, yes, just behind the rockery, the two of them are sticky, and I don't know what they are doing, but the little palace maid seems to be reluctant......"

"Princess!"

"Aang." I poked my head out slightly from behind the pillar and answered, Jiang Zitang on the front porch frowned again, Oops, but I was too loud just now?

Jiang Zitang looked at me, put away the book in his hand helplessly, and asked me, "Princess, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm telling you interesting things, and the books say that you need to talk to your sweetheart more so that you can ......"

My next words were directly frightened back by Jiang Zitang's cold eyes, I should talk to my sweetheart more, so that I can cultivate feelings.

"Princess, it's better to read less of the book."

"But it was all bought for me by the imperial brother with great difficulty, saying that it could relieve my boredom."

Jiang Zitang rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly, and suddenly said something to me, I blinked my eyes and couldn't believe that it was Jiang Zitang talking to me.

"Come here." He repeated it again, this time clearly impatient.

If I had grown as tall as my brother, I would have been only a few steps away from the pillar to the edge of the porch at this moment, but I hated that my not so long legs had even run several steps, which was so far away, and now I was at my side.

It's just that when a book was placed in my hand, I really couldn't figure out what was going on, "Brother Jiang, "Three Hundred Poems"? ”

"Yes, you will watch this in the future, don't listen to any little palace maids again, and don't go to the rockery again, just watch this every day."

"Then if there is something I don't understand, can I ask Brother Jiang?"

"Princess, I came to the palace to be a companion, there are a lot of things to do every day, I hope the princess can learn by herself, okay?"

Compared with the previous cold eyes and blunt rejection, this sentence really makes me very happy, although I don't know most of the book, but this is the book Jiang Zitang gave me, he wants me to learn, then I naturally have to learn.

The annoying troubles that I didn't understand when I was young, Jiang Zitang could read a book quietly by the Taiye Pool Corridor every morning, but I just had to bother me without knowing how to bother, and I talked to him about interesting things with me self-righteously, but I didn't know how boring it was in the eyes of others.

And Jiang Zitang will never know, in order to realize the hope in his mouth as soon as possible, reading at night has become a must-do for me every day, and when I encounter illiterate words, I go to my brother, and even my brother is surprised at how I have changed my personality and don't read the script, in fact, I just pretend to be familiar with the poems in the book by the pillar every morning.

But I forgot, this is just what you used to send me, and with this book, I won't talk to you about some of the things that I don't have, and I won't stare at you all the time, and sometimes I don't even know when you're gone, let alone how I haunt you.

Chen Ruyi, Chen Ruwish, look at what you have done, so that even if you become the prime minister, you are still afraid that you will not pester him.

In the carriage that was not very spacious, I brushed away Jiang Zitang and grabbed my hand, trying to make my voice sound calm, and trying not to let tears run out of my eyes, "Prime Minister Jiang, don't worry, that is already in the past, I didn't know much at that time, and now I won't." ”

"I don't know!" Jiang Zitang's voice suddenly increased by several points, and I don't know if it was my illusion, his tail was trembling, the corners of his eyes were scarlet, and his words were aggressive: "Just ignorant?" If you don't know anything, you haunt me every day? If you don't know anything, you shout and rejoice in me every day? ”

The voices of Aya and Ling Ji sounded outside the carriage, I was a little overwhelmed, so I had to keep apologizing to Jiang Zitang, originally according to my current identity, I would definitely not be so low-voiced, but who let the person I liked first be me?

Tears fell uncontrollably, the corners of my clothes were wet, and I suddenly heard a commotion with my head down, as if the person opposite was looking for something, and a small fragment rolled over at my feet, I was puzzled and wanted to raise my eyes, but my eyes were covered with a handkerchief, and a faint warmth came.

"Princess, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry." Jiang Zitang's voice regained his usual calmness, and his fingertips walked over my face little by little with a handkerchief, I didn't dare to move even when I blinked, and even my breathing seemed to be a little slower.

"I, I'll do it myself."

The handkerchief in my hand seemed to still carry the temperature of Jiang Zitang, I didn't dare to look at him with a sideways face, and I only saw a fragment of the ground out of the corner of my eye, and it was a little red, did I accidentally break the teacup and cut my hand, and the words of concern were about to pop out of my throat, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed them back.

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and it took a long time for me to hear Jiang Zitang's soft sigh, which sounded quite tired: "Princess, you don't have to say sorry to the ministers in the future, you don't have to say it, don't say it." ”

In fact, I don't know what's wrong with me, obviously I used to have a lot of things to say to Jiang Zitang, but now I am relatively sitting and watching, but I can't say a word.

"Princess, it's here." Ayan's voice came from outside the carriage, and I got up to get out of the carriage after answering the sentence, but along the way, I'm afraid I'm wrong again.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the red palace wall came into view, and the guards wearing swords were majestically guarding the palace gate, and he was still sitting there in the carriage.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go."

I turned my head and walked into the palace, presumably without my extra care, you would have taken care of your injuries.
