The room was silent, except for the occasional rustle of his flipping books. The ink ingot in her hand wandered on the inkstone, Pei Yao's originally chaotic mood slowly eased down, and for a while, she simply looked at Xiao Di's library.

On the west wall, there are Cao Buxing's dragon horses, Wang Xizhi's flying white, Gu Kaizhi's landscapes, and on the case, there are also stacks of three Cao's poetry collections, Wang Bi's "Zhou Yi Note".

A cloud of suspicion hit her heart, and this feeling was as delicate as when she saw Xiangying's hidden garden full of danfeng in Xiangfu earlier.

Xiao Di...... When did you like Wei Jin too?

It just so happened that the movements in his hands were resting for a while, and before she could think about it, she had already blurted out a sentence: "Your Highness likes Wei Jin?" ”

"I didn't like it in the past." Xiao Di said lightly, "I like it now." ”

Hearing this, she was slightly stunned and muttered, "Really...... What I didn't like in the past, I like it now......"

What I liked in the past, can I not like it at all now......

Hearing that her tone was different, he looked up, but he didn't want to accept an extremely sad and helpless look.

Where did such an injury come from for a young girl who has not been deeply involved in the world?

Somehow, recently, he has such a feeling from time to time, as if he, a princess of just young age, lives in the bottom of his heart a soul who has seen all the vicissitudes of life, which is intriguing.

Rectifying his thoughts, he happened to be tired, so he simply talked to her: "A while ago, I saw the Book of Jin on your bookcase, and I also saw your words in the right army of the king, do you like Wei Jin?" ”

Pei Yao came back to her senses and unexpectedly showed a light smile, "I like it." ”

"Don't you feel ridiculous and dark?"

She froze.

This is a question he asked himself ten years ago.

How did you answer at that time?

- 'Guy is absurd, and he loves him even more. ’

After that, he asked Xiao to return the hand and gave him the book "The New Language of the World" handed down from the Southern Dynasty.

"If there is no absurd darkness, where will the elegance come from?" She said, "Lao Tzuyun, the blessings and misfortunes are relied on, and the blessings and misfortunes are relied on, isn't this the truth?" ”

She didn't want to waste more words on herself, so she asked him instead: "It's just that I'm very curious, according to what Your Highness said, when you were young and reckless, you didn't like Wei Jin, but now you are self-denying, and you just remembered the beauty of that scene?" ”

Xiao Di lowered his eyes, thoughtfully, and said with a long pause: "I can't always get it, and I yearn for it, isn't it?" ”

Standing in her point of view, looking down at him like this, for a while, his depressed and low eyebrows made her heart move for no reason.

What do you not get?

Throne?

Still is......

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, and reached for it. Pei Yao walked curiously, but was startled by a piece of bloody gauze on his wrist.

"Your wrist ......" Exit Fang felt distracted, she hurriedly made up for it, but her eyes were fixed on his wrist, very nervous, "I mean, you're injured?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Di didn't care, didn't say much, and only carefully held the things that were enough.

"This "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast" was given to this king by Princess Rongxuan a few years ago." He looked at her with affection, but he was open-minded, and when he finished speaking, he generously handed it to her.

She took it and hugged it with a heavy face, Xiao Di thought that such a valuable gift, how could she get a word of gratitude, but she didn't want to, silent for a moment, she raised her head, but asked herself with worried eyes: "Your Highness, isn't it safe in the house?" ”

Xiao Di was slightly stunned.

"Don't worry, Fuchu is safe." He thought for a moment, reached out and pressed it on her shoulder, "You are also safe by the king's side." ”

"But ......"

The wound on your hand is obviously not good, it is not hurt by others, can it be that you yourself hurt it?

It was only at this moment that she completely understood that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not sick, but injured......

Who can have such a great ability to quietly break through this heavily guarded Chu Palace, and assassinate you?

She still had a lot to ask, but Xiao Di seemed to have become the serious prince who didn't smile again in an instant, and said to her in a solemn voice: "Okay." Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

Pei Yao came back to her senses suddenly.

He said: "You know how to observe words and colors, and you should also know how to measure and advance and retreat." ”

"Yes......"

She replied in a low voice, but her heart was full of doubts.

Since Wen Lian returned to Beijing, he has been hanging Xiao Chase. Finally, on this day, she was interested, and she wanted to order someone to prepare a carriage and horse to enter the palace, but at this time, the maid hurriedly came to report, saying that there was a palace person who came to deliver a message, and His Majesty came out of the palace with Princess Yecheng, and the conversation was coming!

Wen Lian raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart, this saved herself a trip.

"Pity my sister!"

Pei Qingtan hadn't seen her for many years, and he missed her so much that as soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about any rules and etiquette, and rushed towards her with open arms.

With a smile on her face, Wen Lian welcomed her into her arms and pinched her cheek, "How many times have you said that?" Don't call your sister! Call Auntie! I don't want to be a lifetime younger than your aunt! ”

When her voice landed, Su Xue, who accompanied Qing Tan into the door, stepped forward, smiled lightly, and saluted her: "Slave Su Xue, meet the princess!" The princess is happy! ”

Wen Lian's eyes moved slightly, and he actually stepped forward to help her up.

"I am fortunate to have you take care of her all these years, I have worked hard for you!"

Su Xue shook her head, "Where is the princess, if it weren't for you, the slave and maid would not have this blessing, and they would be able to serve the princess and grow up." ”

Seeing this, Qing Tan's heart was bitter and warm, thinking that it was rare to see Wen Lian, and it should be a happy time, so he hurriedly came over to liven up the atmosphere, pulling her to be coquettish, "Aunt Pity, my uncle said that you have been back for a few days, why didn't you say that you came to the palace to see me?" Don't you want to be clear? Qingtan misses you! ”

Wen Lian rubbed her head dotingly, "I want to think about it, but who called my family Qingtan pitiful, trapped by the smoky miasma of the realm on that side, which good person is willing to mix in?" As she spoke, her gaze fell on Xiao Zhu, who followed, and in an instant, she carried a sneer, "Your Majesty the Emperor, did you say it?" ”

Xiao Yi came in normal clothes and micro-clothes, and mocked Wen Lian, but he was already used to it and didn't care about her.

"Qingtan," he looked at gently, slapped a folding fan in his palm, and said to his niece: "Don't be unruly, have you ever said hello to Aunt Pian?" ”

Qing Tan reluctantly let go of Wen Lian, took a step back, knelt on the ground, and bowed with his arms.

She sincerely prayed with her poor aunt, wishing her a long and happy life.

Wen Lian helped her up with a smile, touched her little face, and looked kind that was rare in a hundred years: "Good." ”

At this time, Sun Zhifang approached at the right time, only to say that His Majesty and the princess have not seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot of old words to talk about, the princess was still reading the begonias in the palace of King Qi a few days ago, why don't you ask the girl to lead the way and take the princess to see?

Wen Lian looked at the backs of Duyu and Qingtan and the others leaving, and said in her heart, it seems that the begonias in the Qiwang Mansion are really remembered by many people.

The main hall stopped being noisy, and in a blink of an eye, it was empty again.

Wen Lianjing sat down on the main seat, carried the teacup, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, isn't it also waiting to see my rules?" ”

With such an attitude, Xiao Zhu still didn't think it was angry, and calmly sat down.

"Are you still used to living these days?"

Wen Lian immediately sneered.

"I'm not used to it!" She sighed faintly: "Look at this Qi Wang's mansion, people don't know where to go, how heartless do I have to be in order to live comfortably in the old mansion where I have been in love with my husband?" ”

Xiao Chai frowned slightly, and did not speak for a long time.

Wen Lian suddenly smiled.

"Xiao Cha! Why should you? ”

She said: "I know that if you come to me, you will inevitably bring humiliation on yourself, you are now the Ninety-Five, why do you have to rush to my anger?" I'm not happy to make myself uncomfortable......"

"But you're back."

His tone was steady, and his gaze was heavy.

"Pity, I've always needed you, you'll show up." He said, "No matter how much you hate me in your heart, you and I are brothers and sisters for life, and we can't do anything about it." ”

Wen Pian laughed at herself.

Yes, it's true that you can't cut it, but why was it because of the love of cousins?

When I was young, you were ambitious, I was proud of my talents, one was dedicated to the throne of Wang Ding, and the other was single-minded, just wanting to prove that I was unique. hit it off with each other, and in the final analysis, it's just a matter of taking what you need.

What really makes you and me inseparable is the innocent lives of those who are born because of you and created by my own hands.

"What did you need was me? It's just an ever-bright sword in my hand. ”

"Uncle Ji's attainments are a hundred times better than mine, you have him by your side, do you need others?" Her eyes were full of ridicule, "Now that the Changming Sword is no longer in my hands, I am still valuable to you?" ”

The fingers clasped on the fan bone tightened, and he only said: "You can live in the dust with peace of mind, Changming Sword, I will definitely get it back for you." ”

"Get it back for me?" She laughed, "If I say that I won't use the Changming Four Formations for you again, then even if this Changming Sword is recovered, will you still return it to me?" ”

Xiao Chai stared at her for a moment, and sighed helplessly, "Pity, why are you so aggressive? You know better than anyone that I've come to this point, and I can't go back. ”

"I'm not going back."

Pei Qingtan stayed under the begonia tree until he was bored, and suddenly heard someone over there calling out, 'Princess!' In an instant, her whole body was in good spirits.

"Poor aunt!" She ran to Wen Lian's side in three or two steps, looked around, but didn't see Xiao Zhu, and couldn't help but wonder: "Eh, didn't my uncle come with you?" ”

Before Wen Lian could speak, she asked again, "What are you two talking about after talking for so long?" ”

"Don't mention him." Wen Lian pulled her to the side and sat down, and tied her slightly loose sideburns, "Tell me, how have you been in the past few years, have you been unhappy in the palace, has anyone bullied you?" ”
