I pulled the small cork, and the cold of the first snow mixed with the strong aroma of plum blossoms, lingering on the tip of my nose.

Boiling the flower dew and removing the cold air,

Leng Cui incense is the best tea picked from the far away Tong Mountain, with warm water to remove the floating ash and then brewed with fragrant dew, dripping a drop of nectar to cover the slight bitterness in the tea, close to smell, the fragrance flows wantonly.

The quaint blue and white porcelain tea cup was covered with a tea lid, and it took about a while to bring it to Beiyu Liangyi.

He put down the book and tasted it as if unintentionally, smiled lightly, and said, "This tea is not the same as what I usually drink." ”

I counted the books on the table and put them away, and the heat of the stove gradually filled. "I remember, you don't like tea. I think it's also because of the bitterness in the tea, if the incense is completely covered with bitterness, you should feel better. ”

"You're a delicate mind, you know everything. However, the reason why I don't like tea is not because of its taste. He was half-lying on a wicker chair, with a velvet blanket covering his legs, with a lazy tone.

"So, am I being clever?" I laughed and sat casually and listened to him continue.

He shook his head, a slight smile on his lips. "When I was a child, I wasn't the most favored prince, but you also know that in harem battles, as long as a small threat is a big enemy for those women. As a candidate for the throne, when she was nine years old, she got a cup of tea from Zhaoyi Niangniang, she is beautiful, she is very gentle no matter what she does, and she is good to me, in the entire harem, except for the mother concubine, I like her the most. It's just that that cup of tea is poisonous. He smiled to himself. Ten steps through the intestines, as if lime water poured into the internal organs. I'm now a rumored sick seedling, and it's probably because of this. ”

I looked at him, and his gaze fell on the flickering light of the stove.

"There weren't many people who were kind to me when I was a child, so if you saved me, I can remember it for the rest of my life." He turned around, his fingers brushing my cheeks, and the slight cooling of his fingers made a ripple in circles. "Later, I thought that if you keep doing this, you won't be able to protect the people you want to protect, and not only that, but you will become a burden to them, a burden to you. Therefore, I worked hard and spent everything to sit in this position, even if now, the real power is not in my hands, at least, it will not drag others down. ”

The more relaxed and meaningless he said, the more sad and guilty I became. I am not fit to be a wicked person, but I have to do it, just like he is not fit to be an emperor, but I want to, I have to do it.

Place your head on his knees, close your eyes, and listen to a moment of tranquility.

His fingers ran through my hair, and the hairpin slid down.

My heart was startled, and I raised my head slightly, and he just leaned down.

Instinctively trying to resist, his fingers clenched but released, and then obediently closed his eyes.

The warm breath brushed against my ears, and the corners of his lips pressed against my ear, causing a tingling of fear.

For a long time, he didn't make the next move.

"Rest early." He said, and I opened my eyes in a daze, just in time to meet his gentle gray eyes, glowing with water. "I sleep in the outer hall."

"Why?" I knew how silly it would be to ask at this moment, but I couldn't help but blurt it out.

He was still smiling, and he was a little similar to Beiyu Jinchen. "Unless you forget him completely, unless I can really get into your heart. Until then, I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. Go to sleep, don't think about it. ”

He stepped outside, a curtain obscuring his vision.

Xia Xiying came in and lit a soothing incense, and the smoke spread in the room.

I lay in bed, and it was another night that I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

I have lived for 17 years, and in these 17 years, have I ever been truly happy? Now life is not as good as when I was bullied in Liufu, at least at that time I was easily satisfied, a full meal, a new clothes, can make me happy for a long time.

But now, I don't even know what satisfaction is and what happiness is.

Beiyu Jinchen saved me again and again, and pushed me into the fire pit again and again, should I hate him or be grateful to him. Scold...... How can you hate, there is love to hate, only I don't hate him, is the best ending.

No sorrow, no joy, no anger.

Thinking wildly, I spent the night in a groggy state, and was awake when it was dawn.

Xia Xiying brought the toiletries and said that Bei Yuliang had already left and was ready to go to court.

I rubbed my drowsy head and staggered to my feet to wash.

"Niangniang, are you going to the rich lady today?" She asked.

Money-earners? I thought about it for a long time before I reacted, and not long ago, I said that I should start with Qian Guiren.

"No, we have more important things to do today."

She looked at me in amazement, unsure of her origins.

"Let's go out of the palace today to see the house that the emperor gave me." I said it casually, but I was thinking about how to go to Ningxianglou to find out the situation.

"Slave and maid, go and command."

"Wait!" I quickly drank her, "Don't make a noise, let's go out from the side door, just the two of us." ”

She nodded as if she understood whether she understood or not, and obediently didn't ask anything, and quickly picked up two clothes of ordinary colors and styles.

Out of the main hall, I happened to see the dashing back of King Ling Ran, who seemed to be walking towards the Longcheng Palace, and I suddenly remembered like snow.

"The Ruxue girl of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has a whereabouts."

Xia Xiying shook her head and said, "No, I haven't heard from me for a long time, and many people say that it may be dead." ”

"Good manner, how can there be such rumors!" I was a little angry in my heart, and I couldn't help but harden my tone.
