When Su Wenmei heard this, her smile instantly froze on her face: "Boss, you can't talk nonsense, I'm not his wife." ”

"That's it." Cheng Ye looked at Su Wenmei and smiled: "This little boss doesn't know. I bought this lantern for how much silver. ”

After buying the lantern, the three of them went to the Tianjing Tea House for dinner. Sitting on the second floor of the Tianjing Tea House, you can see the traffic outside at a glance.

Su Wenmei saw the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop not far away, and because it was already dark at this time, the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop was closed. She looked there and couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of the past in the Gu family. General Gu, who is very good to her, the kind old lady Gu, and the eldest sister of the Gu family, who has always been hardworking and capable.

It's just that she was assassinated by the people of the harem last time, and it is difficult to guarantee that the eldest sister of the Gu family did not participate in it. Otherwise, how can you explain the token? It's just that in the past, she was kind to her family, and now, she doesn't want to embarrass the people who take care of her family. It's just that if there is a next time, it will be different.

Su Wenmei thought, Cheng Ye picked up the chopsticks and waved them in front of her eyes: "What do you think?" Now that the dishes are ready, let's eat quickly. Chang'an at night is very beautiful, let's continue to walk after eating. ”

Su Wenmei came back to her senses, only to realize that the dishes had been served unconsciously. The food in Tianjing Tea House is one of the best, and it is a place that many dignitaries like to come to. At this moment, the food in front of Su Wenmei's eyes seemed to exude an extremely attractive aroma.

Su Wenmei smiled: "Bing'er, there are no outsiders here, you can also sit down and eat together." ”

"!" Bing'er replied: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the slave and maid don't want to break the rules." But Niangniang, it's getting late, Niangniang don't forget the rules, after eating, go back early. Save the gossip of everyone in the palace. ”

Su Wenmei was stunned: "What I'm afraid of has never been the gossip of people in the palace." "It's that person who is afraid, his snubbing, his ignorance, his incomprehension.

Su Wenmei's lonely expression was only for a moment, but it fell into Cheng Ye's eyes without a trace.

Cheng Ye's brain moved, so he stood up and pressed Bing'er to the side of the stool and sat down: "Now there are no outsiders here, and there are not many rules. ”

"Besides." Cheng Ye's eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, he looked at Bing'er and asked, "The concubine Niangniang's exit from the palace, but is it real?" ”

Bing'er was stunned for a moment, and nodded inexplicably: "It's true." ”

"Then on this token, can there be a rule for when to return?"

Bing'er shook her head: "No." ”

"That's not it." Cheng Ye smiled: "Today I had a very happy conversation with Miss Su, and I didn't violate the palace rules or etiquette. And for a moment's pleasure, why not? Not to mention ......"

He smiled brightly: "The dishes of Tianjinglou are a must in Xiling." It would be a pity if you did not open your mouth to eat today! With that, he sat back in his seat and picked up his chopsticks to feast.

When Su Wenmei saw it, she also picked up chopsticks and ate like Cheng Ye. During the banquet, three or two glasses of low-alcohol fruit wine were used to dispel sorrows.

After having a full dinner at the Tianjing Teahouse, the three of them came out and walked along the moat. Today, compared with the past, Xiling City seems to be more lively. a girl with lanterns and a teenager with firecrackers; Even not far away, there are opera troupes performing on the bustling streets, and the sound of gongs and drums is not lively.

She saw the prosperous scene of putting lanterns and Kong Ming lanterns by the river, listening to the cheers and laughter of the boys and girls around her, and unconsciously had the idea of playing, bought a tube of fireworks, lit it and prepared to set it off. Today's Xiling City is not lively. The winter evening breeze blew Su Wenmei's hair up.

"Do you know why it's so busy tonight?" Cheng Ye looked at her with a smile: "Tomorrow night is the folk Long Solstice Festival, people sing and dance, praying for good luck at the end of this year, and everything will go well in the coming year." ”

Su Wenmei smiled, and the fireworks that were held high bloomed in the air, so lively. Su Wenmei didn't want to go back to the cold Mingyang Palace, so she had fun with Cheng Ye and the others.

They walked along the moat until the third pole of the moon, when the night market was gradually reduced and the road became quieter, and they walked all the way back.

They talked and laughed all the way, and suddenly, Cheng Ye seemed to remember something: "Miss Su, what about the lantern you held at the beginning?" ”

Su Wenmei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the beautiful lantern. She turned her head to look at Bing'er, and the lantern she had just bought had always been held by Bing'er.

Bing'er patted his head: "Ahhh The slave is so careless! It was about the time when the dinner was just now, and the slave maid was placed in the Tianjing Teahouse! Bing'er blamed herself: "Tianjing Teahouse is not far away, Miss, please wait, the slave will run back and bring back the lanterns." The slave and maid drove the carriage placed in the Tianjing Teahouse by the way, and the young lady didn't have to walk back! ”

After Bing'er finished speaking, without waiting for Su Wenmei to answer, she ran away by herself.

"Bing'er......" Before Su Wenmei finished speaking, Bing'er had already run away. Su Wenmei wanted to chase after her, but Cheng Ye grabbed her wrist: "Tianjing Teahouse is not far away, you just let her go." We'll go shopping again, and she'll be back. ”

Su Wenmei paused, turned to look at Cheng Ye holding her hand. Cheng Ye was looked at by her, reacted, and quickly let go of Su Wenmei's hand as if it had been numbed by electricity.

Ben Er didn't run far when he stepped on a bamboo knot in the dark and slipped.

"Ah......h

Bing'er opened her eyes and saw the person under the moonlight: "It's you?" ”

It's Zhao Xunzhi. In the past, before Su Wenmei entered the palace, she was assassinated in Gu's mansion, and he rescued her. So Penang and he also knew each other.

Zhao Xunzhi let go of her: "Why don't you follow the concubine Niangniang, what are you doing running out?" ”

"I ...... I lost my mother's lantern and came out to look for it. Besides, I'm going to drive the carriage that my mother bought. Bing'er asked, "Where is Lord Zhao going?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Xunzhi just saved Bing'er in a hurry, but at this moment he couldn't find a good reason to pass. Can't tell Bing'er that the emperor was afraid that Concubine Wen would flee again, so he sent him to see Su Wenmei, right?

"I wasn't on duty today, so I went out for a walk."

Bing'er didn't know that Zhao Xunzhi was specially sent by the emperor to protect Su Wenmei, thinking that Concubine Wen was with the Seventh Prince at this moment, and it was inevitable that it would be bad to be bumped into by Zhao Xunzhi, so she took it into account: "Then, Lord Zhao, it's just that you're fine, just come with me." It just so happens that I'm not very good at driving a carriage, can you ask Lord Zhao for a favor? ”

Zhao Xunzhi stood still, and Bing'er said, "My lord? ”

"Oh...... Good. Zhao Xun followed them all the way, and naturally knew that Su Wenmei followed Cheng Ye out of the palace today, and Concubine Wen also knew how to make three moves and two styles, and now she left for a while and a half, and she couldn't go wrong.

He couldn't find a reasonable reason to refuse Bing'er for a while, so he followed Bing'er to Tianjing Teahouse.

Su Wenmei and Cheng Ye walked on the quiet long street, walking to the corner of the street where they used to fight, and couldn't help but recall the past.

"In the past, I was too reckless." Cheng Ye pointed to the intersection and said: "When I saw you for the first time, I had an argument with you, thinking about it at that time, I was really stubborn." ”

Su Wenmei glanced at him: "In the past, I was also at fault, I shouldn't just say it, just ......" Su Wenmei was embarrassed and embarrassed to continue.

"Miss Su, do you still blame me?" Cheng Ye looked at her and finally asked the questions that had been backlogged for many days. On that day, he took the twelve guards of the palace to capture her, tied her behind her back, and put her on a horse, and traveled several miles. Later, the child in her womb was gone, and he blamed himself for a while, always feeling that he had done something wrong.

In the past, he always felt that he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he did not allow others to encroach on his identity. But when he learned that her child was gone, he was also very uncomfortable.

Since then, Su Wenmei's appearance of beating herself and kneeling and crying in front of the Qianzheng Hall has always lingered in her mind.

He originally thought it was just sympathy and pity, but as time went on, as he saw her more and more, he ...... He couldn't help but fall in love with this girl.

Although he also knew that if such a thought was known to the people in the court, he might not recover.

"Speaking of which, it's not you who I really blame." Su Wenmei smiled bitterly, bowing her head and looking a little sad: "Do you know why I fled that day?" ”

Su Wenmei didn't wait for him to answer, and then said to herself: "In the past, I always thought that I was special, and I always thought that he had mine in his heart, so I entered the palace. But later I found out that none of the women in the palace were special. ”

The bitterness at the corner of her mouth, through the moonlight, faintly fell in Cheng Ye's eyes: "But now, it seems that I am destined to be unable to escape my fate, perhaps, I will be locked in the boxy palace wall for the rest of my life." It's just that I'm just the leftovers of the emperor's interest now. ”

She noticed Cheng Ye's gaze, came back to her senses, raised her head to look at him, and smiled faintly: "Thanks to the prince for not remembering the past, I am very happy today, thank you." ”

Cheng Ye looked at her, and the discomfort was eating away at his reason little by little: "You are open." But Miss Su, in your heart, what do you really want? Is it glory and wealth, or does someone hurt and someone understands? ”

Su Wenmei raised her head and looked at him with watery eyes, and the moonlight sprinkled on her face and her watery eyes, adding a bit of tenderness to her. Cheng Ye's heart moved, and the beast in his heart roared, driving him to hug Su Wenmei and push him against the wall. Su Wenmei was shocked, stretched out her hand to push him, and lowered her voice: "Are you crazy?" ”

"In my heart, a heart can only love one person and be good to one person. The royal brother has three thousand beauties in the harem, are you really not a little sad? Cheng Ye barricaded her against the wall and said.

These words pierced Su Wenmei's heart, she thought about the appearance of Cheng Qian and Zhuang Xianren, and Cheng Qian's disgusted tone when he talked about her, she panicked.
