"I originally said that I was going to visit my sister in Anle Palace, but I didn't want to meet here, how can I still get used to it in the palace recently?" The second prince's voice was low and soft, and he asked me about my situation with concern, and I was immediately a little flattered by the gentle familiarity of the man I met for the first time, and buried my head in a low voice and did not speak.

The tears just now are still rolling in my eyes, I don't know how to hide my current embarrassed appearance, but he doesn't seem to dislike it at all, there is something in his eyes that I have never seen, the real brother's doting and protection of his sister.

Su Zheng saw that I didn't speak, took two steps towards me, raised one hand and patted my head, and asked gently, "Look, the circles under your eyes are red, have you been wronged?" ”

I looked at him in a daze, and the tears all fell down, this is the first time someone has really treated me with the mentality of a brother, this is the first time I have been taken care of by my brother, and the first time I have been protected by my brother.

Su Zheng saw me crying, he was a little flustered, and he didn't know where he provoked me, so he could only keep comforting me: "What's wrong?" So sad? It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry, there's a second brother here, support you, don't be sad. ”

My nose was sore, and my tears were even more fierce. If I can speak now, and I can still sue, I will definitely say all the words of the prince just now, because I don't know why I want this kind of person to support me and protect me so much at this moment...... Maybe it's because of grievances, maybe I'm really strong and tired, and I want someone who really looks like an older brother to be my "elder brother".

Maybe he's the only one of these princes who is willing to pay attention to me now...... In fact, what he said just now was clearly said to Prince Hui, and he should have seen it in his eyes when I slapped Prince Hui back just now.

Prince Hui looked at the two of us, the expression on his face became even more weird, he seemed to be very unbelievable about the proximity of the second prince and me, but the hand he still covered his face, the second prince just didn't see it.

"Second prince, you come to judge! In this palace, there is a princess who beats people casually! "The wicked prince of Hui sued first, and he looked righteous, I really wanted to slap him twice!

"Oh?" The second prince looked at Prince Hui in surprise, "I didn't see this, but dare to ask the prince, why did my sister hit you?" In my opinion, my sister's interest today is low, and she shouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble......"

"Because, because ......" Prince Hui stammered, unable to find a suitable excuse for a while, "no matter what the reason is, the beating is too deceitful!" ”

King Yu looked at Prince Hui's dodging expression, and did not expose him, but just said to him lightly: "Prince, did my sister beat you just now, I really didn't see it, why did my sister beat you, I didn't hear or see, what happened before, Su Zheng can pretend not to know, but if Prince Hui must let Su Zheng see something and know something, then Su Zheng can really think about it, but I can't comment on this, Qingyi has suffered such a big grievance today, I can take you to my father's place now to judge the reasoning. ”

As soon as he heard about the emperor, the arrogance of Prince Hui immediately decreased, he couldn't say anything for a long time, and finally left a sentence "I don't care about women anymore" and led his little followers away.

This time, the prince doesn't know what his nature is, he doesn't have the demeanor and cultivation of a prince up and down, inside and out, left and right, but like a ruffian hooligan who oppresses the people all day long, why did the king of Hui send him to Chang'an, I really can't figure it out.

When he scolded and walked away, only the second prince Su Zheng, who had just met today, was left here, and I couldn't stop being sad and still in tears.

"Come, Qingyi." Su Zheng walked up to me and stretched out his fingers to wipe the tears from my face, his fingers touching my skin lightly, a cold touch.

"It's not good for the second brother today, the prince of Hui is also a distinguished guest in the palace now, and now it is during the Great Dynasty Meeting, the second brother can't do anything to him, and he can't be angry with you...... Qingyi stopped crying, ah, good. He still coaxed me softly, his tone was full of self-blame and apologies, it seemed that his little sister was bullied by the boy next door, but he was powerless to protect the guilt.

I shook my head as I struggled as I choked up and wiped my tears, how could I blame him! It was completely my conflict with the Hui Prince, I had a suspicion with the Hui Prince before, and today he vented all kinds of insults to me through the topic, and it was his timely arrival that prevented me from continuing to be criticized by him.

"Don't cry, follow me." The second prince whispered, he patted me on the shoulder with his right hand, and asked me to go with him, and I choked up and followed him.

Yuwang Palace.

"Come on." King Yu walked in front, still smiling at me and inviting me, his face and words can make people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

I followed him all the way to the inner hall, the corridor went around a few times, and finally we stopped in front of the door of a side hall, the environment of the side hall is quite quiet, the left side is connected to the backyard of the living water, rippling blue waves, there are a few lotus leaves floating on it, presumably in the middle of summer, there will be a few clear lotus flowers here. The outside of the hall is not as luxurious and tidy as other side halls, and there are some bamboo, orchids and other plants and trees around it, which looks quiet and elegant, and at first glance, people feel that there must be a beautiful woman living in the hollow valley.

I followed behind the second prince, he gently pushed the door open, and the scenery in front of me completely stunned me!

This is not a dwelling for people in an empty valley, nor is it a quiet dwelling for enjoying the scenery, but a huge Tibetan painting studio! There are no utensils in the tall palace, and all of them are filled with all kinds of paintings on the shelves, including indulgent ink-splashing landscapes, carefully sketched handmaidens, beasts and birds that are about to come out, and dusty morning flowers and plants...... The big one is as long as a whole wall, and the fine and dense paintings are the different charms of the mountains and rivers under different climates, and the small ones are only the size of small palms, and they are painted with a smart kingfisher...... In the entire side hall, there are at least a thousand paintings!

Oh, my God! I was completely blown away by the huge amount of paintings! Moreover, the composition of each painting is only exquisite, and the brushstrokes are capable, which is definitely from the hands of one of the best painters in the world!

I followed him forward, my eyes scanning the scrolls, only to find that each of them was stamped with the same seal, and on the seal there were two vermilion characters: Mo Leng. Ink cold? Is this a stage name for a painter? Are all so many paintings by one person? How could they all be collected in the palace of the second prince?

"How? Is the second brother's clumsiness still in the past? Su Zheng turned his head and asked me with a chuckle.

What the? He painted all of this? My mouth was wide open enough to swallow an egg. Su Zheng looked at my stupidity, smiled, and led me out of the middle of the easel.

Walking past here is the viewing platform, next to his table and brush, next to the shelf is a long roll of rice paper, it seems that painting is the daily life of the second prince! What an eye-opener for me! I walked over and lay with him on the railing at the edge of the pavilion.

His expression was still soft, but there was more compassion, "Qingyi, do you know why I brought you here today?" This is my own painting room, since I lived in this palace of Yuwang, I have it, but I have never mentioned it to outsiders, even my father has only come in once. ”

I shook my head, it turns out that the second prince's first-class calligraphy and painting skills have been hidden! No wonder I haven't heard rumors about him for so long, and I haven't seen him much in the palace.

"Today, I heard everything that Prince Hui said." He whispered: "I know that these words hit you very hard, so big that I have no way to comfort you, and if you hit him today, I know that this thorn will remain in your heart for a long, long time and will not dissipate." ”

He looked into my eyes, his expression was melancholy and sad, and when he mentioned the prince of Hui, a strong hatred swelled up in my heart again, why did he say this about me, why did he insult me so much......

"Hate it, don't you? It's very entangled inside, isn't it? Why do they do this to you when you don't fight for anything? This is the case in this palace, if you don't fight with others, others will come back to fight with you, and I have all these feelings you have now. King Yu's face was calm and he said in a low voice.

I listened quietly as he continued.

"You must already know, my mother is Concubine De, when I was one year old, my mother passed away, at that time I cried all night to my mother, no one cared about me, no one pitied me, only my nurse accompanied me silently tears. And my father was also immersed in the grief of losing his mother, and he had no time to take care of me. At that time, the nurse told me every day that my mother was actually killed by someone, and she died unjustly...... She may think that I am still too young to understand what she is saying, and maybe she can only say to a one-year-old child in this deep palace. ”

"However, I actually understood everything, I understood everything, and I still remember the nurse's indifferent eyes and pathetic emotions, but when I grew up and sensible, I asked her about the old man, but she didn't want to mention it to me."

"When I grow up, my status in the palace will be the same as you are now, or even inferior to you. Without the protection of his mother, he enjoyed the same amount of love as the other princes. At that time, I thought about my mother every day, her death every day, and what my nurse used to say......"
