Hua Yan didn't know when she fell asleep, she only knew that Yun Chi fell asleep faster than her, he breathed evenly and long, and it took her a long time to exclude it from her eardrum and fall asleep, and when she woke up, there was no one around.

It was still raining outside, and the rain was so loud that it crackled on the roofs, the bluestone bricks on the ground, and the window lattices.

She lifted the curtain and looked out the window, the sky and the earth were covered by the rain curtain, and she was so drowsy that she could not see the hour, she turned to the hourglass in the room, and saw that it was past noon.

She pushed away the quilt and saw a neatly folded clean dress at the head of the bed, she was stunned for a moment, picked it up and dressed it properly, and got out of bed.

It seemed that her movement was heard, and Qiu Yue's voice sounded outside, "Miss, are you awake?" ”

Hua Yan said "um" and glanced at the room, it was indeed Yun Chi's residence, she said, "Come in." ”

Qiu Yue opened the curtain, walked into the house, and after carefully looking at the flowers up and down, she said with a strange expression, "Miss, the slave remembers that you originally slept with the Seventh Princess in the West Garden last night, but why did you sleep in the East Garden?" If it weren't for the little loyal son beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this morning to send a message to the slave and maid to come here and wait for you, the slave and maid would not know. You're confused. ”

Hua Yan thought about what she did when she took the Seventh Princess out last night, but she didn't know her, so she naturally didn't know. She was brought back by Yun Chi last night, forgetting that the seventh princess was still in Chunhongqi, she looked at Qiuyue and asked, "Is the seventh princess back?" ”

Qiu Yue was puzzled, "Miss, the seventh princess has been asleep in the room." ”

Hua Yan thought that it was back, so it would be fine. Seeing that Qiu Yue was puzzled, she rinsed her mouth while cleaning her hands and face, and briefly said what she had done yesterday.

After listening to this, Qiu Yue opened her mouth and stammered, and after a while, she said speechlessly, "Miss, you are really ......"

She really didn't say anything, but Hua Yan knew what she meant, and she was so able to toss.

She thought that she was tossing like this, and she couldn't pry the determination to shake Yun Chi, both a little discouraged and a little frustrated. She couldn't tell if she understood this emotion, but she just felt that she and Yun Chi probably wouldn't stop fighting to the death.

Seeing that her face was ugly, Qiu Yue stepped forward, handed her the handkerchief, and whispered, "Even if you toss like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been angry with you, Miss, in my opinion, you have fulfilled His Royal Highness the Prince's experience." In this world, the slave maid feels that she will never be able to find a person who can tolerate you like His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Hua Yan wiped her face, threw the handkerchief on Qiu Yue's face, and said viciously, "You are my person, don't be a lobbyist for him." If I marry into the East Palace, you have to marry with me, and if you enter the palace in the future, you will be trapped in the palace with me for the rest of your life. In your life, don't miss my brother. ”

Qiu Yue's face flushed, she tore off the handkerchief on her face and stomped her feet, "Miss doesn't know what to do!" ”

Hua Yan snorted, stretched out her hand to pat Qiu Yue's head, and looked at her with a very evil smile, "I'm not joking with you, let me tell you, if you ruin this marriage, I will immediately let you go and give it to him, if the marriage can't be ruined, you have to tie up with me, I'm not happy, don't think about it." ”

Qiu Yue glared, "How could I follow a master like you?" When the words fell, he jumped to his feet angrily, "You didn't break the fishing net and broke the game with His Royal Highness the Prince, and when you were angry, you took the slave and the maid to be angry and bullied the slave and the maid, it is really as the son said, but women and villains are difficult to raise." ”

Huayan was happy, and reached out to pat her face again, "My brother said this ten years ago, when I was six years old, and one of his favorite birds was peeled and roasted by me. He didn't know it at the time, but I gave him a bird's leg, and he ate it very well. I told him when he finished eating. It was that day that he hated me so much that he spit out this sentence. ”

When Qiu Yue heard this, she couldn't help but be happy, "Miss is the worst, she has bullied her son since she was a child." ”

Hua Yan nodded, "I have indeed bullied him since I was a child." Then he asked, "Do you know why I had to roast that bird?" ”

Qiu Yue thought about it, she really didn't know about it, and shook her head.

Hua Yan smiled at her and said, "Because, although that bird is very beautiful, it is a canary that has been kept in a cage all day." It talks with his brother every day, relieves boredom, is funny, and almost becomes one with his brother. But after all, it's a canary in a cage. I'm afraid that after a long time, my brother's state of mind will gradually be infected by it, and he will no longer yearn for the outside world. ”

Qiu Yue suddenly understood, "So, Miss roasted the bird, ate the only thing that relieved Childe's boredom trapped in a room, and then took the place of the bird, and often talked to him about things outside." Just want to stimulate Childe's fighting spirit and will, and one day get out of the cage that imprisoned him? ”

Hua Yan smiled and nodded, "That's right." When the words fell, she suddenly became proud, "It turns out that what I did was right, didn't I?" Three years ago, my brother walked out of that room by himself, and only then did he realize that the world is so big, and I also know that there are many birds, and there is not only one bird in the world that I roasted and eaten. ”

Qiu Yue nodded admittedly, and said seriously and affirmatively, "Miss is right, the master said that he is the most determined person he has ever met." If it weren't for that, ten years of day and night treatment would not have been able to survive. ”

Hua Yan bowed his head and said with a smile, "Therefore, no matter how high the mast is, when people stand on it, they are not necessarily afraid of the wind and waves, but their own dependence." After the words fell, she looked at Qiu Yue and said, "Stupid Ah Yue, you are the closest person to me, if you persuade me in my ear every day and turn against each other, then, I may not be able to get out of this one-room prison, do you understand?" ”

Qiu Yue's heart suddenly froze, and she nodded heavily, "What Miss said, the slave and maid understand, it is the slave and the maid who are ignorant." ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly and gently, "You, your heart is too kind, just like when I used a bitter trick in a small way, you left the sky with me without hesitation." Now, when I saw that someone was kind to me, he persuaded me to dig out my heart and lungs. But you must know that most of the time things in this world cannot be seen with your eyes, and you can feel them with your heart, and sometimes you can make mistakes. Only after tearing it up and dismantling it, peeling the skin and cramping and blurring the flesh, can you see it clearly. ”

Qiu Yue's face changed slightly, and her whole body suddenly became cold, "Miss, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you seriously?" ”

Hua Yan smiled faintly, "It's true that he wants to marry me, but he is a dignified prince, the prince of a country, and the master of this Southern Chu country in the future." How much do you think he can pretend to be in love? Take ten points to dismantle, and what he has now is only that point. Nine points are for the country. Perhaps, there is that point, but it is also very illusory. You can't be fooled by him, and neither can I. ”..

Qiu Yue felt that the rain outside seemed to be falling into the house, and whispered, "Isn't it serious?" ”

Hua Yan shook her head, "It's not serious." What I have learned since I was a child, you should know everything. The art of the emperor is very vast. After the words fell, she walked to the window and looked out of the window, "He is to me, just like the hut where my brother was trapped back then, it is nothing more than a big cage for the world, and I am to him, just like the bird that my brother raised back then, it is nothing more than that he has not learned to behave and beg." His path to the emperor is too high and lonely, and he wants to pull me to accompany him, but I can't tolerate what he wants, and I can't break through the cage by myself, either turning into a flying eagle and soaring into the sky, or dying and dying. In short, there is no such thing as having it both ways. ”

Qiu Yue's body trembled, took a step forward, and hugged Hua Yan, "Miss, it's the slave who is wrong, the slave thinks you lived here last night, and your mind must have changed, so you ...... The slave will never persuade the young lady again. As long as the young lady is good and the son is good, the slave and maid will never give up. ”

Hua Yan smiled, looked back and patted her head, "Look at what scared you, you have been with me for so long, and sometimes you are still so kind and timid." But I just like you like this, if I hadn't followed you all these years, my kindness and soft-heartedness would have been lost long ago. ”

Qiu Yue was indeed frightened by the look of Hua Yan just now and her words, and she couldn't ease up for a while.

Hua Yan sighed, "You must have heard that the Seventh Princess said that Su Zi was inhumane, so you were so shocked that you didn't want me to have anything to do with him anymore, and compared him with Yun Chi, you actually felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very good." But Qiuyue, you must know that even if he is so good, this identity alone can be erased. There are disadvantages to Su Zi's beheading, but he doesn't have this identity, if I want to be righteous, I won't care if he can be humane. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yue said timidly, "Miss, even if you don't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can't you change someone else to like it?" There are more than these two people in this world, there are also Lu Shizi, Shuli Gongzi, and many others. ”

Hua Yan laughed and stretched out her hand to nod her eyebrows, "Lu Zhiling, he is very filial, and he is too loyal to Jing Guogong, he himself can't escape the cage of Jing Guogong's mansion, let alone with me?" An Shuli, since he saw him in Qingshui Temple, he wisely went away to avoid trouble, she was a flood beast when I was a beast, Princess Anyang was not bad, but it was a pity that she gave birth to such a gentleman's son. The rest of the people can't reach the gate of this East Palace. Do I have a choice, you say? ”

Qiu Yue's face fell, "Miss is too hard." ”

Hua Yan laughed and stretched out her hand to push her away, "Everyone says that my life is good, and you can see this hard life." When the words fell, he said to her, "I'm starving, go and get someone to eat." ”

Qiu Yue asked cautiously, "Miss, do you want to eat here or go back to Xiyuan to eat?" ”

Hua Yan said indifferently, "It's right here!" Go back after eating. ”

Qiu Yue nodded and went immediately.
