CHAPTER XXXVIII

Halfway through the feast, everyone laughed with each other. Women have always been keen to gossip.

What is the new rouge shop in the capital, which jewelry store has newly entered the delicate and rare pearl hairpin, who is going to marry whom......

The chatter kept talking, and the garden was full of laughter.

Ye An'an listened to the gossip with relish, and suddenly saw Xu Tongjiao accidentally knock over the cup on the table, and the water in the cup spilled on Xu Manjiao's skirt.

Xu Manjiao exclaimed, attracting a small amount of attention from the surroundings. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Xu Tongjiao frowned and taunted her: "This is outside, what kind of fuss is it." ”

Princess Pingcheng didn't smile: "Why is the girl so careless, go and change your clothes." ”

Every household will prepare a coat to change just in case, and the same is true for the Pingcheng Palace.

"Yes."

Xu Manjiao responded in a low voice, and followed a maid to walk out.

Ye Anan couldn't help but smile at the corner of Xu Tongjiao's mouth, and had a bad premonition.

She got up and walked outside, following behind them, seeing the maid taking Xu Manjiao in the direction of the East Garden instead of the West Garden changing room, Xu Manjiao didn't know it.

Ye Anan frowned, the male guests were all in Dongyuan, maybe someone was hanging around here.

That maid is the person of Princess Pingcheng, if something happens to Xu Manjiao alone, she can't tell it even if she is covered in mouth.

Then if she jumps into a pool and commits suicide or something, doesn't it just give the heroine a chance to go online?

Ye Anan thought of this, and continued to follow them to see what kind of crooked ideas they were fighting. Unexpectedly, the rockery in front of her was staggered with leaves, and she couldn't see them when she was a little slower.

Ye An was anxious in peace of mind, this Xu Manjiao was afraid that she was stupid. Even if it is the first time to come to the Yasukuni Mansion and are not familiar with the terrain, they should always be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, so why do they let people go to Dongyuan.

Just as he was thinking about looking around for a figure, Ye Anan heard a clear and surprised voice behind him: "Ah Wan?"

Ye An'an was stunned, and when he turned to look, he saw a warm and handsome face.

"Cousin."

Sima Changping walked up to her quickly and saluted: "Your Highness Jin An." ”

"Cousin excuses."

Sima Changping stood up and said with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

Ye Anan smiled slightly: "It's already good, thank you cousin for your concern." ”

"I wanted to see you before, but I was afraid of delaying your recovery, so I kept dragging it out. Now that I see that you look good, I am relieved. Sima Changping smiled in his eyes, "I have a friend who brought back some novel gadgets from overseas, and I will send them to the palace tomorrow to relieve your boredom." ”

"Thank you, cousin."

Ye An'an thought about Xu Manjiao's situation, and paid attention for a while, and there was a sudden silence in the air.

"If my cousin is fine, this palace will leave first."

Seeing that Ye An'an hurriedly turned around to leave, Sima Changping hurriedly said anxiously: "Ah Wan, wait a minute." ”

"Cousin is still something?"

Sima Changping hesitated for a moment, and took out a delicate small bag from his arms with a red face: "I went to the temple to ask for a peace charm before, which was opened by a high monk, you can accept it to keep you safe." ”

Ye An paused, looking at the bag in his hand with mixed thoughts.

It is easy to ask for peace charms in the temple, but if you want to be consecrated by a high-ranking monk, you not only have to fill in a lot of sesame oil money, but also need the person who prays to fast in the temple for half a month, clean the temple, and copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times.

Ye Anan clenched the handkerchief in his hand, sighed after struggling for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, you tell me the truth." I've always been cold to you, and we haven't seen each other much over the years, so why do you like me?"

If he said that he was for his identity as a princess, Ye Anan would not believe it. But she really didn't understand, she had stayed away from Sima Changping a lot over the years, why didn't she let go?

Sima Changping didn't seem to expect her to ask so directly, his face became more and more red, and he stammered: "This, although I don't know why you haven't been as close to me as you used to over the years, I know that you have always been a good girl." When I was a child, I made up my mind not to marry you, and my heart is pleasing to you, so why is there any reason. ”

"But what if I'm not the same as I was when I was a kid? People change, maybe I'm not as good as you think. ”

"Ah Wan is the best girl." Sima Changping looked at her with deep eyes, as if recalling the past, "I always remember that on the day my mother died, you held my hand and accompanied me to cry in the snow for a night, and the next day I contracted a cold and had a high fever. From that moment on, I told myself that I must protect you and not make you sad again. ”

So that's it......

It was because of that high fever that Ye Anan crossed into this world and became Princess Yong'an.

Ye An'an was a little bitter in his heart, and he still thought a little bit before, if Sima Changping really liked her, and when everything was decided, he was still willing to marry her, and she was also willing to marry him.

But what he likes is not Ye An'an, but Princess Yong'an.

It is impossible for her to marry a husband who has someone else in his heart.

It was not her intention to come to this world, but she had no choice but to take it step by step.

But she doesn't want to be a stand-in for other people's feelings.

Even if marrying Sima Changping is the best destination, even if it is a lie that will never be exposed, she is unwilling.

Perhaps only a sincere person like Li Nian'er can really let him let go of the past and start a real relationship again.

Ye Anan took a step back, his face flat: "But I have forgotten everything that day." Cousin, I never had you in my heart, so why should you force it. ”

For a moment, Sima Chang's face turned pale, and he smiled reluctantly: "Didn't I do anything bad?" If you don't like it, I'll change it. ”

"You're good anywhere, but what I like is someone who is handsome and extraordinary in martial arts, has a manly spirit, and can protect me. You're not, you won't be in your life. ”

Ye An'an was ruthless, and continued, "This palace is the father's favorite daughter, and she is the eldest princess of Dayuan!" Naturally, I want to marry a big hero, not a weak and incompetent scholar like you. I can't force anything, I don't want to marry you even if I become a nun, you die of this heart!"

After that, he resolutely turned around and left, no longer stopping at all.

The footsteps faded away, leaving only silence in the courtyard.

The leaves rustle in the wind, as if comforting the wounded.

Sima Changping stood there with his head down, like a statue, and did not move for a long time.

He looked at the peace charm in his hand for a long time. Then carefully, tuck the bag back into the chest placket.
