Hongmei saw that Xia Ye'er was very embarrassed, so she said: "Little master, you don't want to treat the slave and maid as your own, but the slave and maid are all for the little master, and they just want to share the burden for the little master." The slave understands the feeling of being carried by a person, and it is very uncomfortable. ”

Xia Ye'er looked at Hongmei, very sincere, and said, "Hongmei, why are you so good to me?" ”

Hongmei lowered her head and said, "The slave is just ...... Little master, if you don't believe in slaves, then you don't need to say any more. ”

Xia Ye'er thought for a while and said, "Hongmei, I'm ...... I just ran into Ka Changzai. Jia Changzai told her mother that the fetus in her womb was not the dragon species of the King of Chu, but someone else's. ”

Hongmei was taken aback and sat down on the chair next to her in fright. She looked at Xia Ye'er with a look of disbelief.

Xia Ye'er hurriedly said: "You must not tell others, Jia Chang said to them, if I leak the news, then I ...... It's going to end badly. ”

Hongmei stood up and said, "Little master, the slave will definitely keep it a secret and will not leak it to others." But little lord, you have to be careful, don't get into trouble again! ”

At this time, they only heard a strange sound from the window, and the two of them looked towards the window at the same time, and it seemed that a figure ran over from that side. The two looked at each other, and Hongmei whispered, "It shouldn't be heard, right?" ”

Xia Ye'er shook her head, full of worry. If anyone does hear it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The next day, Xia Ye'er got up early and read poetry in front of the window, as if nothing had happened yesterday. Hongmei saw that Xia Ye'er's expression was not very different, so she brought a cup of tea and said, "Little master, I got up early today, drink a cup of tea to relieve my fatigue." ”

Xia Ye'er took a sip of tea and said, "Starting today, I decided to live with peace of mind and no longer worry about those trivial things in the palace."

Hongmei didn't speak on the surface, but she knew that the words "peace of mind" were simple, and she really wanted to sit up and talk about He Xiayi.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone outside whispering: "Xia'er! ”

Xia Ye'er turned her head suddenly, the moment she saw Pan Yu, her breath was about to stop, not surprise, not Huanyu, but anger and surprise. She stood up, walked straight up to Pan Yu, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Pan Yu didn't speak, but lowered his head, he didn't know how to explain what was happening now. It happened so that people couldn't choose, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Did you still come to the palace to join the company? Isn't it? Say something! Xia Ye'er was so angry that her head was swollen and her face was pale.

Pan Yu looked at Xia Ye'er's angry eyes and nodded.

"How did you promise me that day?" Xia Ye'er asked loudly, she had never been so angry with Pan Yu. Even before she was elected to the palace, Pan Yu gave up proposing marriage, she was not so angry. But this time, she just didn't want Pan Yu to be dragged into this abyss alive, she was afraid that in the end they would all fall into the quagmire and couldn't extricate themselves.

Hongmei gently tugged Xia Ye'er and reminded behind her back: "Little master, be quiet." ”

Xia Ye'er still looked at Pan Yu, hoping that he would say the answer he expected to hear. Even if the odds are so slim.

"I'm sorry, Xia'er, but I'm also out of helplessness. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have made such a decision. Sometimes, though, you just don't have any options. Pan Yu said that his eyes kept looking at Xia Ye'er who was wearing a goose yellow robe. That's it, he also thinks she's beautiful.

"In that case," Xia Ye'er said, looking at the gray sky outside the window, "then we won't meet again in the future." ”

Pan Yu expected Xia Ye'er to say this, he didn't know if the explanation was useful, but at this moment, he felt that he shouldn't be in a hurry to say the reason why he couldn't help himself, so he said: "Then, the minister has taken his leave, and the little lord should rest." ”

Minister? Little Lord? Xia Ye'er's heart ached like a knife, she felt that such a title separated a gap between her and Pan Yu, which was insurmountable.

After Pan Yu left, Xia Ye'er finally couldn't help crying, tears one by one, bean-sized, dripping on the poetry scroll she was reading just now. Hongmei saw Xia Ye'er's appearance and said, "Little master, why don't you ask carefully about the ins and outs of the matter?" Maybe Pan Yu also has something unspeakable. ”

Xia Ye'er shook her head, she was very stubborn, she felt that this matter was Pan Yu's fault, so Pan Yu had to say his fault first. If you say it first, then you will admit defeat.

Pan Yu walked out of Pinmeitang quickly, he didn't look back, he knew that Xia Ye'er must be very sad and disappointed now, but he also had a hard time. A few weeks ago, a man claiming to be from the palace found him at the Shengxiang Inn and asked, "Are you Pan Yu?" ”

Pan Yu was very puzzled and felt bad: "Yes, may I ask who you are?" ”

The man was dressed in black, and he spoke without any tone: "You just know that I am from the palace." Do you know that the private meeting between you and Xia has been discovered? ”

Pan Yu felt a chill in his heart and said, "That'...... What do you mean? ”

The man chuckled lightly and said, "You know that if this matter is known to the King of Chu, Xia will not be able to live in peace, right?" ”

Pan Yu didn't speak, but looked at the man, waiting for him to continue. The man said, "But you have to understand that I am not here to harm you, otherwise there would be no need for me to meet in this way." The intention of my trip is to let you enter the palace to serve. ”

Pan Yu took a deep breath and said, "Why? ”

The man laughed again and said, "Lord Song is a smart person, you still don't understand this intention?" We are people in the palace, and there are many struggles in the palace. We want you to help us, so that Xia can help us. ”

Only then did Pan Yu understand that he was a handle of the other party, and he wanted to use himself to control Xia Ye'er in order to achieve their goals. It seems that no matter how she chooses, Xia Ye'er will not have a good time. Then, it's better to listen to him, enter the palace, and take up a post, so if Xia Ye'er has any difficulties, she can bear them together if she is by her side. But in doing so, Xia Ye'er will definitely be very annoyed. Alas, everything is hard to come by.

So, Pan Yu said to the man in black: "Okay, I promise you." ”

The man laughed a few times, his voice was very harsh, and then he said goodbye to Pan Yu, saying that he would come to take him into the palace in the future, and then left the inn.

After a while, the man really sent someone to pick up Pan Yu and said that Pan Yu should go to the Imperial Academy to do a chores. After hearing this, Pan Yu thought to himself, after reading poetry and books for more than ten years, he only got a position to do chores, but he didn't have to worry too much, after all, this was only a temporary destination.
