As the Double Ninth Festival approached day by day, Wan'er finally couldn't hold back her heart, she was calm and calm, but this time it was chaotic. She strongly wanted to see the crown prince Li Xian, and this urgency made her wonder if it weren't for Princess Taiping's deliberate entrustment, she would still be secretly thinking.

Daming Palace is undoubtedly very wide, but the place where princes and generals often gather is very concentrated, but when there is a desire to meet someone, the nine-fold palace becomes a labyrinth that is difficult to find.

After a sleepless night, Wan'er made a decision, since she couldn't sit back and think about it, she would take the initiative. Wan'er thought of a lot of rhetoric, typed the draft a few times in her heart, and took advantage of the time before dinner to go to the East Palace alone.

I don't know why, Wan'er couldn't help but chant "Yi Shui Song" on the way to the East Palace - "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return", such a self-deprecation made her instantly lose a lot of mental burden, only thinking that Jing Ke knew that she was embarking on a road of no return, but she did not hesitate, and now the situation she has to deal with is much easier.

Unknowingly, he had arrived outside the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and the tiger guards saw someone coming and cheered and asked.

Wan'er explained her intentions, and the guards looked at each other, and one of them turned around and passed through the door.

If the prince refuses to see him today, he will continue tomorrow until he is curious or bored. Wan'er has the determination to break the boat, but she also has the posture of begging for nothing.

After a while, the door of the palace opened, and a servant was greeted with a respectful attitude, and he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "The prince invites the female history into the palace!" ”

Wan'er nodded slightly in thanks and followed him into the hall.

Deeply lowered his head, swept his afterglow, and bowed down to the direction of the crown prince Li Xian: "The slave Shangguan Wan'er has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Your Highness is blessed with all the blessings! She added a beautiful word, just to be courageous.

A cold voice was heard: "Get up." "But it's déjà vu.

Wan'er got up, and although she raised her head, her eyes were still fixed on the tip of her nose.

Li Xian recognized this slender and beautiful female official at a glance, and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have come to take the blame, right?" ”

This was said strangely and abruptly, Wan'er was really shocked, and responded carefully: "The slave and maid have wronged the prince somewhere, since His Royal Highness has not yet known the prophet and believes that the slave and maid will be guilty if they come today, then the slave and maid may wish to ask His Highness for guilt first." ”

"It's strange, is it because you have read too much paperwork, or maybe you want to be a legendary woman and are very forgetful about other things!" The irony in Li Xian's words could not be more obvious.

Wan'er let out an "ah", instantly realized something, raised her eyes to look at Li Xian, this look didn't matter, she forgot most of what she wanted to say.

The noble and ruthless His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him was the man who had a relationship with Wan'er in the East Palace Academy, but was mistaken for a bachelor of the Chongwen Pavilion.

This is really an unexpected embarrassment, Wan'er is a girl in the end, her face is also thin, she rubbed her hands, and bowed down again, "The slave is guilty." ”

"Those who do not know are not guilty, and you should not kneel back and forth repeatedly." Li Xian seemed a little impatient, and when he saw Wan'er kneeling on the ground, he was sincerely afraid, and he felt a trace of compassion, "I forgive you for your innocence, just get up and speak." ”

Wan'er slowly got up and tidied up her dress, but she no longer lowered her eyes, changed her gaze, and gathered on Li Xian's right shoulder.

"You came all the way to see me, what's the matter?" The prince asked, and he began to regret the moment's soft-heartedness, after all, a woman at such a young age can afford to deal with such things as government affairs, and she is by no means an idle person; Regardless of the disparity in rank and status, he crossed the palace rules and came to meet him privately, and it was by no means the fearless rashness of the ignorant. I want to meet in the academy that day, she deliberately provoked with clear eyes, and refused to take advantage of her words and demeanor, but she had a firm maintenance of the martial queen, which was really hateful and disgusting.

Wan'er nodded, but hesitated.

"Why, don't you dare to say it?" Li Xian's gaze and tone were condescending.

"Your Highness is aware that the slaves and maids are coming this time, in fact, they have something to ask for, and I hope Your Highness will fulfill it." The direction of things did not go according to Wan'er's pre-planned plan at all, as soon as the words came out, she immediately realized that what she said was wrong, how could a palace maid use such almost threatening words? What's more, in the royal matter, it is really not her turn to ask for and fulfill it.

Sure enough, Li Xian sneered, and the jade wrench on his thumb knocked on the case, making a crisp sound, "Your name is Shangguan Wan'er, right?" Who gave you the name? Is it a father or a grandfather? ”

Wan'er was caught off guard by this question, so she had to answer: "The slave and maid only have mothers, and they have never seen their fathers, let alone heard of their grandfathers." ”

Li Xian's heart sank suddenly, what she said didn't seem to be a lie, it seemed that she didn't know her life experience, and she wasn't defending a person who destroyed her whole family. Knowing this, he decided to be more lenient with her, "Oh, I see. Whatever you want, I'll hear you. ”

Wan'er couldn't think of why Li Xian's attitude changed so quickly, but when he was as moody as rumored, his heart was horizontal, and he explained his intentions in 1510.

Li Xian was determined not to expect that the purpose of Wan'er's trip was such a proposition, he hated others speculating on his thoughts, and he was even more disgusted with the self-righteousness of people who didn't know the height of the sky. If he was in the court at this time, facing those cunning and sophisticated politicians, Li Xian would definitely be-for-tat and not leave the slightest affection for the other party, but now he is in the East Palace, and he is not facing a courtier with an ivory wat board, a seemingly pitiful woman, a fairly sincere rhetoric, and an old story hidden behind it, all of which caught Li Xian a little off guard.

Wan'er looked at Li Xian's gloomy face and said nothing, thinking that this time she had touched the scales, but unfortunately the matter had come to this point, there was no room for turnaround, so she simply broke the kettle and poured out all the words she wanted to say in her heart: "The slave doesn't want to use the reason of being a minister and a son of man to admonish the prince, the slave and the maid don't have this qualification, and they don't have such a realm, but they feel sorry for the princess, your majesty, and your two siblings, the slave and the maid are humble and not worth mentioning, they shouldn't have said such things, just a cheap maid, they actually feel sorry for your lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be contemptuous of Wan'er in his heart, but what you don't know, Wan'er is willing to tell you one by one...... Did you know? How happy the princess was on her birthday, but the sadness on her face was like mist when she heard the news that you could not come in person...... She stood in the midst of a noisy and frolicking crowd, and neither the bright music nor the joyous dancers could make her smile again...... The gift you gave is indeed very precious, and the princess loves it, but the regret you bring to the princess is also unforgettable...... The princess told the slave more than once that you are her brother, but please forgive the slave and the maid for being reckless, the slave and the maid do not think that you love the princess so much, and you love yourself the most...... Did you know? Your father's wind disease is getting worse and worse, and often when he is sick, he will think of your Royal Highness, saying that you are the blessing of the society, saying that you shoulder heavy responsibilities, saying that you are his pride, but the slave still disagrees, so majestic and tall, you can't even do your duty to serve the sick before your father's sickbed, can the people of the world rely on you...... You must not know how your two younger brothers, His Royal Highness the King and His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, have carefully and laboriously defended you in front of the Queen, and how many reproaches and misunderstandings you have endured, you could have made them easy and calm, and they should have been easy and calm, but because of your evasion, you put them in such an awkward and tangled situation......" The long words were extremely smooth, and the corners of his eyes moistened.

Li Xian was not originally a hard-hearted and cold-mouthed person, but he was numb for too long, and regarded indifference as a habit and a weapon. Listening to Wan'er's heartfelt words, she admired her courage and secretly felt guilty, but on the surface, she didn't move at all, he was the appearance of a standard sword eyebrow star, so it became more and more inadmissible.

"If you offend your prestige, you can order the slave to be beaten to death on the spot, and the slave will never complain." Wan'er bowed her head and bowed, already in tears.

"That's it, huh? Go back first. Li Xian walked towards the window, saw that the sun was setting little by little, and said softly, "I missed dinner, and I didn't prepare for this East Palace." ”

Wan'er looked at him suspiciously, it seemed that it was impossible to get a clear answer, and she replied regardless of the sound of sobbing voices, "The slave and maid are retired." ”

Wan'er got up and retreated, until she reached the door, and slowly turned to leave.

"You come out." Li Xian looked at Wan'er's figure from the half-open window and spoke.

Zhao Daosheng flashed out from behind the wooden screen, revealing an inappropriate smile.

Li Xian glanced at him: "You heartless thing." ”

"Your Highness has taught you a great lesson." Zhao Daosheng was still laughing.

Li Xian asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"His Royal Highness Little Xiao was tricked by a little lady." Zhao Daosheng pointed out unceremoniously, and added, "The people Your Highness has inquired about are really different." ”

"But her words really touched me." Li Xian let out a long sigh and stared at the sunset for a long time.
