For a long time after that, they rarely met, and when they did, they simply said hello. Her playmate wasn't him, and he didn't have any more thoughts about a little girl.

Until winter, Wen Zhiluo collided with Zhao Yurou's reliance, and was poured into his clothes with ice and snow.

Zhao Yurou is Zhao Zhen's imperial sister, and her domineering temperament is well-known in the palace, and she often beats and scolds her subordinates, so it is not surprising to do such things.

To Zhao Zhen's surprise, Wen Zhiluo actually offended her.

He heard the news and immediately went to the place where the accident had happened. When he arrived, Zhao Yurou had already left, and Zhao Yan pursed his lips and knelt in the snow with a blue face, trembling all over.

Wen Zhiluo stood next to him with an umbrella, and her other hand kept wiping her tears.

He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yan glanced at him, lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhiluo replied: "It's all my fault, I just collided with the princess, and the princess wanted the Fifth Highness to kneel here for two hours before he was willing to spare me, and the Fifth Highness was ......."

The little girl blamed herself, and her two eyes were red when she cried.

Zhao Zhen was taken aback. He didn't expect that the fifth brother, who had always been taciturn, would be willing to kneel in the snow for two hours in order to save Wen Zhiluo.

It's a little bit unlike him.

At this time, Zhao Yan spoke: "Trouble the third brother to take her to change her clothes, her clothes are wet." ”

"I'm not going, I'm here with you." The little girl shook her head.

Zhao Zhen had a place in his heart, and suddenly he was a little uncomfortable.

Can't tell.

"In this way," he proposed, "let Jiu'er give the fifth brother an umbrella, and you go with me to change clothes, otherwise your father and mother will be worried if you get sick." ”

Jiu'er was a small eunuch who followed him.

The little girl thought about it, reluctantly said yes, handed the umbrella to Jiu'er and walked with him.

turned back three times all the way, and never forgot Zhao Yan who was kneeling in the snow.

Wen Zhiluo didn't leave any clothes in the palace, Zhao Zhen took her back to Cuiyun Hall and gave her the clothes of the palace maid. Afraid that he would be cold, he lit the little charcoal fire he had saved, and then he went out and left the house to her.

The little girl opened the door after changing her clothes, "Thank you, Third Highness, I'm leaving." ”

Zhao Zhen grabbed her hand and raised her eyebrows: "So you left?" ”

The little girl looked at him puzzled.

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Come in and warm up, it's not too late to go later." Could it be that the umbrella is not as good as yours for a long time? ”

Not really. The little girl pursed her lips, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

He pulled her in.

The two sat down around the charcoal stove, their hands on top of the charcoal stove, and the little girl was still a little trembling. He took her hand into his palm and held it. Her hands were cold, but soft, and he happened to have one in one hand.

The little girl blinked and looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed by her, coughed and said, "Help you cover your hands, what, don't you want to?" ”

The little girl smiled, her voice was mixed with the coolness of ice and snow, cool and sweet: "No, I think Your Highness, you are really gentle." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

For the first time, some people said he was gentle.

He has always felt that his nerves are relatively thick, he likes to dance with knives and guns, and he is not interested in those crepe things, and he doesn't know how to comfort his mother when he is seriously ill, but feels a little annoyed.

She went so far as to say that he was gentle.

Zhao Zhen moved his lips and didn't speak.

Wen Zhiluo smiled a little suspiciously: "When His Highness didn't come just now, I felt that I was really miserable, it was cold, and my body was wet, and there were so many palace people who came and went, and none of them were willing to help us." The people in this palace are really cool. But," the little girl turned, "when I was most saddened, His Highness appeared. ”

Zhao Zhen listened to her quietly, and unconsciously covered her hands tighter.

Don't want to let go.

"Your Highness is here for me, isn't it?" The little girl's eyes were bright and she looked at him expectantly.

He looked at her, nodded slowly, and gave an embarrassed "um".

In fact, this kind of thing is the safest not to mix, but it has something to do with her, and he goes out as soon as his brain is hot.

He didn't know what was going on with him, anyway, something wasn't quite right.

He was not gentle at all, because no one in this palace said that he was gentle, they all said that he was cold and not easy to get along with.

Zhiluo's eyes bent into two crescents, smiled sweetly, and assured him: "Your Highness, you helped me, and I will definitely help you once in the future." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said okay, but in fact, he didn't take her words seriously at all.

A little girl, the daughter of the nurse, and he is the third prince in this palace. What did she do to help him?

However, he soon learned that Wen Zhiluo was not joking.

She thinks it's true.

That day, he passed by the back garden and saw Wen Zhiluo and Zhao Yan with their heads together, and the two of them were sitting on the ground playing some game. Curious, he stepped forward to take a look.

As a result, I saw a picture of the court situation drawn on the ground.

It's just about the ministry, from the official department to the smallest official in the ministry, she wrote it on the ground with a branch, while explaining to Zhao Yan the background, personality, and whether it can be used by them.

Zhao Zhen, who saw this scene, was undoubtedly shocked.

Wen Zhiluo was very different from what he imagined.

She was more interesting than he had originally thought.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Wen Zhiluo hurriedly messed up the words written on the ground, looked at him vigilantly, and the moment she saw that it was him, the vigilance in her eyes dissipated a lot.

She pursed her lips, thinking about how to explain it to him.

In the end, she decided not to explain, patted her skirt and stood up and smiled at him: "The Third Highness is also here." ”

Zhao Zhen felt unspeakably uncomfortable in her heart, because she had just looked at his eyes, because she had a smile on her face that was in the nature of sending and coping, in fact, the most important thing was that she decided to help Zhao Yan fight for the throne.

Zhao Zhen didn't know why she chose Zhao Yan, just because of Grandma Zhou's relationship? Or does she think Zhao Yan has more potential to be an emperor than him?

In any case, this proves one thing.

In her heart, Zhao Yan is far closer than him.

Zhao Zhen breathed a little hard, he knew that there was no way, the person who accompanied him day and night must be closer than the person who had seen him for a long time, it was reasonable for her to make such a choice, if she chose him, it would be abnormal.

But why should we be so cautious about him?

Do you have to deal with him carefully as a fierce rival?

Zhao Zhen looked at her silently for a while, then walked away without speaking.

He knew this was the beginning of her estrangement with him.

*

Everything was as he expected, and from then on they did become strange and polite, and her smile on him changed to the politeness and politeness of everyone she treated, perfect, but without warmth.

He didn't like it very much.

And she and Zhao Yan have also become much more cautious, and they have never made that mistake again, the two of them always spend a lot of time in the house, and rarely come out to play.

Zhao Zhen had fewer chances to see her.

He sometimes thinks that he is stupid, two people who are not familiar with each other at all, what is he expecting, what is he looking forward to?

Under Wen Zhiluo's planning, Zhao Yan soon entered his father's field of vision.

The emperor's favorite son is undoubtedly the eldest son Zhao Shen, who likes to discuss state affairs with Zhao Shen, and always calls him at banquets. I don't know when Zhao Yan also frequently appeared at court banquets.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be surprised by Wen Zhiluo's ability to do things, it only took her one year to push Zhao Yan, who originally had no sense of existence in the palace, to the status of the most dazzling group of princes.

He inquired secretly and found that during this period of time, Zhao Yan was particularly good at pleasing the emperor, either he could speak to the emperor's heart, or he could do things according to the emperor's wishes, and even the dishes, Zhao Yan could do what he liked.

To put it simply, Zhao Yan has become a person who can help with fun.

It seems to have become a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, knowing everything the emperor thinks.

This is simple and simple, but difficult to say, after all, there are so many concubines in the palace, and studying the emperor every day is not as good as Zhao Yan. According to Zhao Zhen's understanding of Zhao Yan, he is not a person who is interested in catering to others, so there is only one possibility-

Wen Zhiluo.

This little girl is really amazing.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be a little lucky, glad that Wen Zhiluo was helping Zhao Yan compete for favor, not herself, otherwise with her appearance and means, it would be effortless to favor the harem.

Zhao Yan won the favor of the emperor, and soon moved out of his original residence and lived in a gorgeous palace.

After that, every time Zhao Zhen saw Wen Zhiluo, she stood beside Zhao Yan and said something to Zhao Yan with a smile. Zhao Yan's gaze at her was extremely gentle, and sometimes he would even hold her hand.

Wen Zhiluo has grown taller, her figure is slender and moving, the baby fat on her cheeks is gradually fading, her face is small and delicate, and her curved peach blossom eyes contain a smile at any time.

She's beautiful.

It was so beautiful that when Zhao Zhen saw her, his heart would ache faintly.

He stood in the distance and watched her and Zhao Yan,

Then he stood in place for a long time, as if a hole had been opened in his heart, and an endless long wind poured in.

Her days were vivid, and the corners of the palace where he continued to stay were covered with dust.

Some people are not born buried.

Like her.

*

When everyone was snatched away by Zhao Yan, the girl beside Zhao Yan also received a lot of attention.

They seem to be inseparable, and from Zhao Yan's eyes, it can be easily seen that he has a love for the girl. And these two people are exceptionally compatible in appearance, and when they stand together, they seem to be glowing.

So someone soon found out that this girl was the daughter of Granny Zhou, named Wen Zhiluo, and Zhao Yan's childhood sweetheart.

Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.

The youthful and innocent love suddenly poked the hearts of many people. So rumors began to circulate in the palace that the two were a couple, and Zhao Yan would marry Wen Zhiluo soon.

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he only felt desperate in his heart.

She has become a master, and she is no longer the little girl waiting for him to rescue her in the wind and snow, now what qualifications does he have to stand by her side?

He was even ashamed of what he thought of her.

He wished she had forgotten about him, at least that way, he would still have a little dignity.
