Nie Peixiao clearly remembered the first few times he set foot in Lixinhou's Mansion, once when he came to congratulate Yun Ci on his wedding, and once when he came to worship after Yun Ci died of illness......

Both times were for Yun Ci, but how could he have thought that one day he would fall in love with Yun Ci's woman! An existence that haunted him, he had twice missed her in this place.

I haven't seen him for eight months, and this time Nie Peixiao specially begged King Mu to come over. Due to Ye Guifei's persuasion, King Mu no longer insisted on stopping his thoughts, but had some intention of going with the flow. So, Nie Peixiao took advantage of this opportunity to set up the archway and said that King Mu let him be the messenger, just to see the right side.

Originally, he didn't like Yunfu, but felt that this gorgeous and empty mansion was lifeless and lifeless, and he regarded himself as an old citizen of the Daxi Dynasty, empty of fame and copper stench everywhere, and enjoyed wealth and glory in the old place. But now because of his appearance, he actually feels that every corner of the Yun Mansion reveals tranquility and loneliness, which is so consistent with the temperament of the hostess in this mansion.

August is the season of golden cinnamon fragrance, there are not many osmanthus trees in Yunfu, but this elegant and distant fragrance has diffused the entire mansion, floating in the autumn slaughter, no reason to refresh people's hearts.

Nie Peixiao smelled the faint aroma, and suddenly felt that Xiu was like an osmanthus, and the fragrance was far away, and there was a fragrance that made people think about it, but there was no trace of Yiren. Why light turquoise crimson? She doesn't apply powder, she is already a gorgeous crown, the first class of flowers.

With a group of attendants from Yingyuan Palace, he waited in the hall for a while. Nie Peixiao's mind was full of Xiu, and she was in a trance, but she listened to the housekeeper Yun Zhong's report. He looked out of the hall with great expectations, but the person who came was not from Xiu, but Mrs. Xie who had met several times.

Suddenly, disappointment crossed her eyes, and Nie Peixiao's heart was lost for a while, but in the end, she still smiled and greeted according to etiquette: "Mrs. Xie is well." ”

"King Chengjun is not far away, and the old body is not far away, so I hope that there is no strange." Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed, as if she could understand people's hearts, and said with a smile: "People can't accept old age, their bodies are inconvenient, and they walk very slowly, so you have to wait for a long time." ”

"Where." Nie Peixiao's smile remained unchanged, read out the will, and asked casually, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Xiu?" Reasoning that she is the head of the house, she should take this will, how can you come out in person? ”

Mrs. Tai waved her hand and sighed: "Speaking of which, the old body will still accuse you." Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law has not been in good health recently, and she has a severe headache when the wind blows, and now she doesn't know what to say about it for half a step. ”

Sick? Nie Peixiao's heart tightened, and there was a bit of worry on her face. After thinking about it, he felt that this was just an excuse for Chuxiu to refuse to see him, so he said: "In this case, this king will not bother much." I still have some official business in Yanlan City this time, and this king will stay here for a few days, and come back to visit you another day. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't leave any guests, and sent Nie Peixiao out of the main gate of Yunfu all the way, seeing that he was about to get on the horse and leave, she suddenly asked with a smile: "How is the concubine?" ”

Nie Peixiao was stunned before she reacted, and replied with a smile: "Everything is fine with the concubine, Mrs. Lao remembers." ”

"When people get old, they always remember their old people recently." Mrs. Tai seemed to mean something, and said cryptically: "It's not as good as His Royal Highness, who is in his prime and full of spirit, and only sees newcomers on a smooth road." ”

Nie Peixiao looked at Mrs. Tai, and saw that her eyes were flashing with an indiscernible luster, and her mind sank, and she replied solemnly and jokingly: "Actually, this king misses the old. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't say anything more, and sent off the guests with a smile.

*****

Nie Peixiao stayed in Yanlan City for a few days and has been temporarily living in King Mu's Mansion. Now it is almost vacant: King Mu is regent, and the princess is with him in Jingzhou; Concubine Luan "died of illness", and her face was not there; And several of King Mu's closest henchmen were also with him...... Looking at it, this Mu Wangfu is even more lifeless than the previous Yun Mansion.

Nie Peixiao came this time, and the task was not easy. King Mu, the seventh brother, gave him a few important things to do, and kept him busy for a few days. But as long as there is a little space to idle, the kind of lovesickness is extremely tormenting, the garden full of cinnamon, flowing springs, the clouds in the sky, the wind is clear, all like that woman, standing in front of him with a smile. A clear autumn water, a smile is extremely clear.

If in the past, others were in Jingzhou, and they couldn't see each other from each other, then that's it...... But now that others have arrived in Yanlan City, and they can't meet in the same place, this feeling is really heart-wrenching.

Nie Peixiao paced back and forth under the eaves, always thinking about how to see Xiu and comfort the lovesickness of the past eight months. After thinking about it, he was entangled, but the guard Feng Fei came up with a plan and attached his ear to him......

……

In fact, Mrs. Xie did not deceive Nie Peixiao, she was indeed unwell in the past few days, and her forehead hurt for a while, and the doctor came to take a look, only saying that she was overthinking and not resting enough. Therefore, in the past few days, there have been no visitors, and some general affairs have been delayed.

didn't want to see Nie Peixiao, but it was true, it was nothing to take two steps and take a decree, she deliberately avoided seeing it, for fear of embarrassment.

After resting for four or five days in Zhiyanxuan, I felt relieved, and I heard the report that the four archways were about to start, and I felt more down-to-earth in my heart. Since it was Nie Peixiao who came to deliver the message, does that mean that he has compromised and accepted the facts?

I was thinking about it, but I heard Zhuying come and say: "King Mu secretly returned to the house two days ago, and today he brought a message from his house, and I want to ask you to come to the house." ”

Why did King Mu come back again? Isn't he regent in Gyeongju? However, King Mu has always been unpredictable, and he may not be able to let Nie Peixiao come over as a trick, but in fact, he has something to come back. After all, Fangzhou is a fiefdom that King Mu has been running for several years.

Out of Xiu did not doubt that there was him, and hurriedly changed his clothes and went to King Mu's mansion. When she got out of the car in front of King Mu's mansion, she remembered that Nie Peixiao was still here.

"King Chengjun is also in the mansion?" Izuku asked the bamboo shadow who came with him in a low voice.

Bamboo Shadow nodded: "I heard that it is also there." ”

Izumi was a little hesitant when she heard this, but thinking that she and Nie Peixiao hadn't seen each other for August, in terms of the rumored romance of the Chengjun King, maybe he had already forgotten about it. If you are still calculating, it will seem hypocritical.

Thinking like this, Chu Xiu calmly got out of the car and let the housekeeper of Muwang's Mansion greet him into the living room. Unexpectedly, King Mu didn't wait, but waited for the autumn rain first. In front of the living room, a small pond sparkled and thin, with a little ripple at the beginning of the circle, and the sound of rain on the eaves corridor was staggered, which smudged the dampness of the mansion.

Out of Xiu unconsciously closed her eyes slightly, deeply smelling the rain full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, sometimes mixed with the smell of earth, which made her suddenly have an illusion, as if the place she was in now was not a wealthy family, but a local world.

A pleasant smile inadvertently appeared on his lips, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly saw a person standing in front of him, with thin lips, sharp contours, handsome face, and a compelling extravagance. It is Nie Peixiao, the king of Chengjun who has not been seen for a long time.

Izuku was at a loss for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and smiled lightly: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness, and she has just lost her manners." ”

How can it be a loss of honor? In Nie Peixiao's opinion, the appearance of standing in front of the hall with his eyes closed, and the smoke and rain in this corridor, just like the Lingbo fairy who seemed to be far away, fell in the red dust, and also fell in his heart. August has not seen, and her demeanor is better than before, but she has added a touch of haggardness.

Nie Peixiao suddenly felt distressed, and subconsciously glanced at the back of his left hand, which had a shallow scar on it, and he couldn't find it if he didn't look closely. This is the place where he was bitten by Chuxiu eight months ago, and every time he sees this injury, he misses it very much.

A trace of strangeness passed through her heart, Nie Peixiao restrained her unbearable lovesickness, and said in a deep voice: "Madame is polite, please take a seat." ”

There were some doubts in Chuxiu's heart, and he raised his eyes to look out of the hall: "What about King Mu?" ”

Nie Peixiao's face did not change and lied: "Seventh brother has just come back, and he has some affairs in his body, so he ordered the king to come and entertain his wife first." ”

It's not easy to say much when I heard this, and I was afraid of being embarrassed by the cold scene, so I took the initiative to bring up a safe topic: "On that day, you came to the palace to announce the decree, and the concubine happened to be ill, so please bear with me if the etiquette is not good." ”

Looking at Xiu's impeccable and thoughtful smile, Nie Peixiao felt very uncomfortable. She was so polite, so distant! He wanted to care about her carefully, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he could only condensed his voice: "The Yun clan has a lot of affairs, and the lady must take care of herself while she is working." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Out of Xiu lowered his eyes and didn't look at Nie Peixiao, he looked at his nose and nose and put the tea cup in his hand, and brushed the tea lid with a match.

Nie Peixiao stared at Chu Xiu infatuately, knowing that her expression was evasive and deliberately avoided it, but he still deceived her. It was a bit clumsy, but there was nothing he could do.

The sound of rain outside the window is getting louder and louder, and there is a tendency to keep going. Chuxiu glanced at it quite worriedly, and saw that King Mu was delayed, so he couldn't help but ask again: "If King Mu can't get out, it's better for the concubine to come back to visit another day." So saying, he got up and took his leave.

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao immediately stopped: "Why is Madam avoiding me?" ”

Izumi was embarrassed for a while, but still didn't look at him, only smiled: "How come?" Your Highness was too worried. ”

"Am I going to eat people?"

"It should ...... No. ”

There was another silence, and Nie Peixiao realized that no matter what she said, there was always a way to block it back. It's as if he sharpened his knife and spear and went into battle with all his strength to kill the enemy, but the other party sent a delicate army of women, that feeling made him helpless and powerless, and he was almost about to collapse.

He admitted that he couldn't hold his breath and was not as stable as Brother Qi; I also admit that I am impetuous and always can't calm down. It took eight months to see this side, but the other party was a stranger, and it felt like he was really fed up!

Knowing that some words should not be said again, the consequences will only disturb the beauty, but Nie Peixiao can't help it: "Madame, do you still remember that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve night ......"

"The matter of Chinese New Year's Eve, the concubine body has forgotten." Izuku interrupted with a smile: "Please also ask Your Highness not to take it to heart." ”

Nie Peixiao's heart was cold when she heard this, and when she saw that Xiu's attitude was resolute and overcoming rigidity with softness, she felt even more panicked in her heart. He was afraid that he would say too many mistakes, and he was unwilling to let Xiu leave so quickly, so he asked, "Madame, don't you want to know about Shen Zifeng?" ”

Shen Yu? Sure enough, Izumi condensed her expression, and worry and nervousness leaked between her eyebrows.

After all, I can't compare to that person! Nie Peixiao smiled bitterly in her heart, but her face did not show it. Originally, he wanted to leave the letter entrusted by Shen Yu for the time being, and he also found an excuse to see Xiu again, but now, ...... He had to take out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and say, "The son has a letter, and the king will pass it on to his wife on his behalf." ”
