The weeping willows in the backyard are floating in the soft wind, the wind shuttles between the willows, the purple water lotus has gradually bloomed, the lilac petals are slightly curled, and the fragrance has long been dissipated, leaving the loneliness in the branches.

This is also like Shangguan's clear state of mind, the sound of the guqin under his finger is distant and desolate, when she is by his side, he thinks that time is still long, and it is not too late to show his heart to her when the right time comes, but in his hesitation, he waited for Lin Yunmo to take her away, he often had nothing to do to ring the bell, but she never appeared at the door again.

Meeting is fate, but once some people miss it, fate will be broken!

He learned from his subordinates that Qianshan Twilight had been sick since he had returned from outside the city, so he planned to go over and take a look, and put away the little brush and her little cloth bag.

Shangguan Ruwan often runs to Shu Lanxuan, and when she learned that Shangguan Qingqing was going to Duanwang's Mansion to see Qianshan Twilight today, she pestered him softly and hard to go with him.

Shangguan Qingqing was pestered helplessly, so he had no choice but to agree. Although Shangguan Ruwan was young, she was thoughtful, and immediately ordered someone to go to her lotus pond and break a few grown lotus flowers, and she wanted to take them to Qianshan Dusk.

The wind blew into the room through the half-opened window, the books on the table were blown by the wind, the sky was bright outside, but Qianshan Twilight had a splitting headache, she had almost never slept all night, her face was haggard, and she lifted the corner of the bed curtain, the candles on the candlestick had long been burned out, and the wax was spread layer after layer, as if she could not let go of the sorrow in her heart!

There was a knock on the door, and a maid at the door asked in a low voice, "If the thousand girls wake up, the princess is in the pavilion in the backyard, she wants to see you!"

She hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, let me clean up first, and I'll go over right away!"

Bai Xiyu was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard, with a guzheng on the stone table, her fingers were lightly raised, and the gentle music lingered in the treetops of the forest in the backyard with the gentle breeze.

I haven't been out of the house for a few days, and Qianshan Twilight only feels lightheaded, and slowly walks to the gazebo, not daring to make a noise to disturb, listening to it and falling into a trance!

At the end of the song, Qianshan Twilight stepped forward to salute, "When did you come, girl, why didn't you call me earlier?" Bai Xiyu took Qianshan Dui's hand, looked at her pale and haggard face, and said with pity.

"The princess played it well, and the slave maid was fascinated by it!" Qianshan Twilight smiled faintly.

Bai Xiyu said with concern: "Girl, don't have any restraints in front of me, okay? Let's just talk about family life, you have been stuffy in the house these days, and you don't eat much water and rice, and you are so thin, you can know how distressed Mo'er is!"

Qianshan Twilight smiled shallowly, but did not speak, Bai Xiyu pushed the dim sum on the stone table to her closer, and said with a smile: "This dim sum is delicious, you can taste it!"

Qianshan Twilight pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, it melted in her mouth, and the sweetness was moderate, "It's really delicious, thank you Princess!" she nodded.

Bai Xiyu looked at her lovingly, "If you like to eat, eat more", hesitated for a moment before saying: "Girl, Mo'er told me today that she wants to marry you!" Qianshan Dusk listened, and was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue, although she and Lin Yunmo have known each other for a long time, but there is always an inexplicable feeling that there is an invisible resistance between them, so that she does not dare to seriously think about this matter.

Bai Xiyu sighed helplessly: "Girl, you should know that Mo'er is the prince, and the prince's lifelong affairs have always been his own decisions, he once promised you a couple for the rest of your life, but do you know that the person who can be his wife, family, background, and character are all indispensable, so that he will not be criticized!"

"Yes. Qianshan replied faintly, Bai Xiyu's words were like a blow to the head, and she was completely awakened, yes, this kind of marriage among nobles, how important is the door, and she is just an orphan girl in a lonely mountain village, and it is extremely sad and ridiculous to expect a prince to love her for a lifetime.

The love between men and women is just a consolation for him, a kind of icing on the cake, he has his own ambitions, and the woman who can help him achieve great things is what he needs most! After all, there is still an insurmountable gap between her and him!

"The slave and maid understand, thank you for the teachings of the princess!" she stood up and bowed deeply.

Looking at the desolate back of Qianshan Twilight, Bai Xiyu regretted what she said just now, "Should I not say this? This girl has just lost her mother, didn't my words stab a knife in her heart!"

Xiaoqu on the side shook his head and said: "The princess is also thinking about a thousand girls, while the love of the Third Highness is not deep, it is better to say it early than later!"

"But..."Bai Xiyu frowned: "Seeing that girl so sad, why can't I bear it so much!"

Qianshan Twilight slowly passed through the full moon gate, her heart was faintly aching, her legs were as heavy as lead, her ears were piercing screams, and she suddenly felt panicked, and she slowly squatted down holding on to the flower wall, and across the flower wall, two maids whispered quietly into her ears, "I heard that the emperor gave the marriage of the Hou Mansion to the Third Highness." A high-pitched maid said, and another voice said with a slight mockery: "It won't be the one who is rude and willful, the fat one, right? Can the Third Highness be willing?" The shrill voice replied: "The emperor gave the marriage, how dare the Third Highness resist the decree and disrespect, the Hou Mansion has already begun to prepare, saying that the wedding date is scheduled for next month!"

She listened silently, but her whole body was cold, no wonder he would suddenly mention the matter of marrying a wife to Princess Duan, but he was scheming like him, but he didn't say it directly, but borrowed someone else's mouth to completely annihilate all her hopes. He knew early on that it was impossible to be with her, and he made a promise with rhetoric, and he was convinced.

"Lin Yunmo, count you ruthless!" she bit the back of her hand hard, desperately suppressing the tearing pain in her heart, and suddenly felt a coldness on her cheeks, and when she touched it, it was actually tears.

Probably yes, but there is no love, where does hatred come from?

She slowly stood up against the wall, survived the darkness in front of her, and staggered forward.

Under the dazzling sunlight, Shangguan Qingqing on the other side of the path led Shangguan Ruwan over slowly, Shangguan Ruwan's eyes were sharp, and she saw Qianshan Twilight from afar, she ran over happily, shook the lotus pod in her hand, and said in a playful voice: "Sister Dusk, is your illness better? Ruwan brought you a lotus pod, it's delicious!"

Qianshan Twilight forced back the tears in her eyes, and she put on a smile: "Thank you, I love to eat lotus pods." As he spoke, Shangguan Qingqing walked closer, looked at her with concern, and there was reluctance and heartache in his eyes, "The face is so ugly, go back to the house and rest" Shangguan Qingqing said.

"Thank you for your concern," Qianshan Twilight smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a long time, are you okay?"

Before Shangguan Qingqing could answer, Shangguan Ruwan interjected: "After Sister Dusk left, my eldest brother was like losing his soul", "Nonsense!" Shangguan Qingqing covered up quite uncomfortably, Shangguan Ruwan said puzzledly: "It was originally true,"

Qianshan Twilight smiled faintly, and when she saw Shangguan Qingqing holding her small cloth bag in her hand, she asked, "Can you show that to the slave?"

Shangguan Qingqing handed it over as he said, Qianshan Twilight opened it, saw that there was paper and pen in it, and when his mind moved, he took it out, picked up the pen and wrote a few words crookedly, and handed it to Shangguan Qingqing with a solemn face, "What did Sister Twilight write?" Shangguan Ruwan asked strangely.

"Scribbled, the slave maid will help the young lady peel the lotus canopy!" she smiled weakly and took the lotus pod in Shangguan Ruwan's hand.

Shangguan Qingqing looked at the handwriting on the paper, hesitated for a long time, and just when Qianshan Twilight thought he would refuse, he nodded and said, "Okay!"

Qianshan Twilight smiled softly, she was leaving, she didn't want to be trapped here!
