At this time, in the Taiye Pavilion on Penglai Island, the crown prince Li Xian looked at Xue Shao, "The palace ban has been locked, you can go back to the East Palace with me for the time being, it just so happens that I still have some questions to ask you." ”

Xue Shao waved his hand and responded to Li Xian's second half of the sentence, "Don't dare, don't dare!" How can I ask for advice? He added, "I'll accompany Ling Yue for a ride first." ”

As soon as he heard this, he was the happiest Princess Taiping, Xue Shao's active care was unexpected, but he couldn't ask for it. Since the prime minister Li Dan first proposed to leave the table, she has been thinking in her heart, how to be tactful, solemn and reasonable to ask Xue Shao to send her back to the palace, but she didn't expect that it would take no effort to come at this time.

Seeing Taiping's appearance of being happy, King Li Xian thought about it, and was about to speak, when Li Xian spoke again, and said very casually and plainly, "Wan'er, let's go." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sixth brother, we are all men, there is no reason to let the little girl send it, right?" ”

Li Xian still responded lightly, "I didn't ask her to send it." Wan'er's place of residence is not far from the East Palace, and I happened to drop her off, if she met someone, she would be easier to explain. ”

It's really a statement that can't be faulted, but Li Xian was aggrieved in his heart, so he had to say, "You are all in pairs, and I'm the only one left, it's really-" The tail note was very long.

Taiping said with a smile, she liked the "pairs" said by the seventh brother Li Xian very much, and she was in a good mood, but she denied it in her mouth, "Are you messing around again?" Don't think you used to make enough jokes? Besides, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would not leave you alone, you see, Brother Xian has called all the people who pulled the rin - do you want to sit down? ”

What Taiping said was half true, half false, Bu Yuan had indeed been waiting nearby, but it was the prince's guard of honor, and it was the concern that Li Xian would never be able to ride, but it was also true that Li Xian would not leave Li Xian alone.

Sure enough, Li Xian smiled and said: "This chariot is just a general regulation, there is no special meaning, of course the seventh brother can sit, I just blow the cold wind to wake up." ”

Li Xian smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I have to blow the wind too, otherwise the wine will be sad, and it will be bad!" ”

Wan'er didn't say a word during the whole process, her thoughts were complicated, both embarrassed and a little joyful, inexplicably a little distressed Li Xian, who looked very lonely, but when she thought that she was about to accompany Li Xian, she couldn't care about the joys and sorrows of others.

Li Xian still specifically pointed out the two to send Li Xian, but Li Xian refused on the grounds that he had brought a domestic servant, or Xue Shao said in the middle: "But if you have it, it is also yours, the prince is nothing more than a heart, so that when the servant comes back, the prince will also know that you will return home safely." ”

Li Xian was no longer angry and happily accepted Li Xian's arrangement.

The night was as cold as water, but Wan'er's face was always dyed with a layer of red, she and Li Xian were one after the other, and the other attendants followed at a relative distance. At first, no one spoke, so quiet that there was only the sound of footsteps stepping on the fallen leaves, and suddenly a gust of wind came to her face, Wan'er only felt that her nose was itchy, and "Ah Nao" sneezed.

"Got a cold?" Li Xian stayed where he was, turned around and asked.

Wan'er said embarrassedly: "No." ”

Li Xian reached out to untie the cloak on his body, but was stopped and said, "Your Highness, watch your body. ”

"I just think this cloak is too cumbersome and gets in my way." After that, he threw the cloak into Wan'er's hand, with a serious face, "You take it for me." ”

Wan'er had no choice but to hold Li Xian's cloak and follow him step by step. His steps were so great and fast that Wan'er was already trotting before she knew it.

"Isn't the water in the well cold in the winter of the garden? Like ice. Coldly, he suddenly stopped and asked such a sentence.

Wan'er couldn't stop and almost hit Li Xian's back, thinking about his question, stabilizing people and saying: "It's strange to think about it, I didn't think it was at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is really the same as what His Highness said." ”

"I don't think you'll ever think about going back there again." He turned.

"If one day I am allowed to return to the court, I must have committed a great sin...... It's a merciful thing to commit that sin and only let me go back and forth from where I came. ”

"She's always been so kind in your eyes." Li Xian said slowly, obviously not complimenting.

Wan'er lowered her head and plucked up the courage to say, "Your Highness, can you tell Wan'er about her background." ”

"If you ask today, it means that sooner or later you will know. But I remind you that it is better to know less than to know more, and it is much better not to know than to know less. ”

"But I just want to know about myself, nothing else." Wan'er retorted in a low voice.

Li Xian smiled coldly, "It's not so pure and simple in this palace, if I pick something only related to you to tell you, then I can't talk about it." Wan'er, in the whole incident, you are just the most inconspicuous link, understand? ”

Wan'er raised her eyes and looked at him, "Really make His Highness so embarrassed?" ”

Li Xian asked, "Why don't you ask others?" You know in your heart that the King of England and the King of Peace and the Peace, they all know it. Your personal relationship with any of them is far superior to mine. ”

"But I only believe what you say, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Wan'er blurted out that it was too late to regret it.

Li Xian came closer, seemed to look at her carefully for a while, and said resolutely: "Don't trust anyone for no reason, you are alive and living well, this is enough." You're always the only one who can protect you – and of course, this applies to all of us. ”

Wan'er knew that this conversation could not continue, but she was not depressed by such an outcome. As she said, she believed in Lee Hyun; As Li Xian said, she believed him for no reason.

And Xue Shao was on the way to send Princess Taiping back to the palace, the princess suddenly became gentle and reserved, which made Xue Shao very uncomfortable for a while, so he had to protest: "Ling Yue, am I making you uncomfortable?" If it is, it doesn't have to be like this, I am still the same Xue Shao, Xue Shao who grew up frolicking with you since childhood. ”

"It's just that I'm frolicking, Brother Xue, you let me every time." Taiping showed a somewhat shy expression.

This made Xue Shao more and more overwhelmed, he was not a person who did not understand the amorous feelings, on the contrary, he was very informed, but Li Lingyue was no one else, he had always treated her as his own sister all these years, and he did not have the slightest idea of overstepping.

"I'm your brother, isn't it natural for my brother to let my sister?" Xue Shao emphasized.

Taiping disguised stubbornness as impatience, "I've said it hundreds of times, my brother's surname is Li, and there is no brother surnamed Xue." ”

"Don't treat your cousin as a brother, you're still so willful." Xue Shao smiled and teased her, "You don't recognize me as an elder brother, why do you still call me 'Brother Xue'?" ”

Not to be outdone, Taiping rushed out: "You have traveled around and have seen a lot, you must know that the folk female lover is also called 'brother'......"

Xue Shao blushed: "Ling Yue, the more you talk about it, the more formless it becomes, it's time to find a mother-in-law and restrain you." ”

Taiping's words came to his mouth and swallowed back, changing his cold expression, "You're right, but it's a pity that who dares to marry me in the whole world?" ”

Xue Shao pretended to think for a moment and replied: "That's right!" ”

Taiping had to smile and say: "If I insist on marrying someone I don't like, I'd rather be a female Taoist priest again, anyway, the Taiping Temple that the palace has cultivated for me has always been there." ”

Taiping is the name of the princess when she became a monk and prayed for the blessing of her late grandmother Mrs. Rongguo, and it was also that year that Xue Shao insisted on marrying a little-known woman as his wife.

"There are so many good people in the world, I believe that Ling Yue you will definitely meet the best person for you." Xue Shao said with deep feelings.

"Just like a cousin is to a cousin?" There was a slight provocation in Taiping's words, "It has nothing to do with identity, status, family background, and even the length of time we have known each other!" He took a deep breath and said, "Don't tell me, this is the love you've always admired." ”

"I believe in love at first sight, and I also believe in staying together for a lifetime, sometimes a glance is a lifetime, and it is also sweet across the mountains and seas." Xue Shaozhen has words.

Taiping was suddenly moved, and burst into tears for a while, "Is it that I appeared too early in your life, is it that I have always been too close to you, or just because I am Li Lingyue, you naturally turned me away - what a noble person you are, you don't want people to think that you are obsessed with your career and climb the dragon and phoenix, you don't want people to think that you have betrayed yourself to seek honor...... Are you living for someone else? Can't you live for me for a day, even for a moment? ”

Xue Shao let out a long sigh and reached out to wipe the tears on Taiping's face, but she flashed her face and avoided it. His hands froze there, and his words froze.

Taiping sobbed for a while, then looked at Xue Shao again, and said bitterly: "I take back what I just said, I don't want you to live for me, even if not for a moment." I want you to willingly worship me as a supreme treasure one day. The pearl at the top of the pagoda, you can only see it from a distance to know how dazzling it is, far better than the pearl you pick up from the sand. ”

Xue Shao knew that this was said harshly, but she was in a hurry and didn't think about it, so she didn't fight with her, nor did she quarrel with her, but coaxed her: "What kind of pearl are you, your name is Ling Yue, and you are the moon in the sky." People in the world can only look at flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, how can they have a chance to see the style! ”

Taiping didn't reply, pecked Xue Shao on the face, and still looked at him with hatred.

Xue Shao was really surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It was Taiping who regained his proud look, "Brother Xue, you still don't want to go back to the East Palace?" I have maidservants waiting for me, so I have nothing to worry about. ”

Xue Shao felt that he needed to calm down, nodded, instructed the palace maids a few times, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Only Taiping was still standing in place, I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt a little moist in the corners of my eyes, and thought: I obviously didn't cry anymore, where did these tears come from? When I looked up, I saw a drizzle in the air.
