Chapter 20: The Two Highnesses

These two people, Wen Yukou knows. One is the third prince Xiahou Shenxiao, whom I saw only a few days ago, and the other is the fourth prince Xiahou Yubai, who had a lot of relationship with her in her previous life. I think it was the princes who went out of the palace to participate in the Daughter's Day in private, and Cheng Ying, as the son of an official, was of the same age, so he naturally wanted to accompany him.

The two princes heard Wen Chengying calling "Sister", and they all looked at it together, only to see a thirteen or four-year-old girl in front of them, holding her sleeves with both hands, wearing a red jade drop bead crested golden step on her head, with a phoenix feather Zhai phoenix purple gold pendant hanging down her forehead, wearing a fiery red robe, revealing a little snow-white neck, Ying Ying stood in the courtyard. is obviously dressed up so intensely and gorgeously, but it can't withstand the cold and calm eyes under Jin Buyan, as if the fire is wrapped in ice, and it seems that the ice is pressing the fire, strange and novel.

Xiahou Yubai was gentle and polite, and although Xiahou Shenxiao always smiled, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, Wen Yukou's outfit, as well as her eyes, made him appreciate it greatly.

Wen Yukou has always been sensitive to the gaze of others, and she forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart and didn't know it, and after performing the regular salute, she stood quietly in place.

"This is ......," Xiahou Yubai asked first.

Wen Chengying hurriedly walked to the middle, stretched out his left and right hands, and said: "This is the sister, the maiden name is Yukou, sister, this is the third prince, and this is the fourth prince." ”

"I've seen the three princes and the four princes." Wen Yukou saluted respectfully again, her voice was quiet, neither humble nor arrogant, not in a hurry: "The people are clumsy and don't recognize Your Highness, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Oh, didn't recognize? Xiahou Shenxiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly, hooking up a smile. The two of them clearly met a few days ago, but she said that she didn't know each other, such a smart person, is he going to pretend to have amnesia?

"He who does not know is not guilty, get up." Xiahou Shenxiao took two steps closer, his eyes were dark, faintly revealing purple qi, staring at her.

As if feeling the compelling momentum of the Dao, although Wen Yukou was not afraid in her heart, she took two steps back and made an embarrassed appearance.

Xiahou Yubai Zhilu said that his third brother has always been amorous, but when he provoked Wen Yukou, he hurriedly relieved the siege, and said with a smile: "Chengying, usually come to Wenfu, the common young ladies are Yulan and Yushang, although I heard that there is an eldest sister, but I rarely see it, and now it is very different from the appearance of a few years ago, worthy of the posture of ice and snow, delicate and refined." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wen Yukou gently, his eyes were elegant and clear, and people could not detect a trace of reproach.

Wen Yukou raised her eyes slightly, and saw Xiahou Yu wearing an ivory-colored silver silk robe, embroidered with a flowing water-like delicate silver cloud bird, looking at the mountains and rivers, and his extravagance was hidden. The black hair is like ink, and the eyebrows are a little cinnabar red, and the end is as warm as jade, which makes people very comfortable.

But Wen Yukou's heart sank.

Such a gentle prince, just because he is a little more benevolent than other princes, quite a "virtuous king" style, so the emperor does not like it, the prince is jealous, and finally ends up with a "fornication minister's wife, intending to rebel", shocking the government and the opposition, the emperor issued a decree to ban him, and he will not be allowed to enter the ten miles of Kyoto for the rest of his life. It's a pity that no matter how benevolent a person is, he will eventually not be able to escape the whirlpool of imperial power struggle, that is, if he is born as a prince, he is destined to spend his life in calculations and conspiracy.

"The Fourth Highness praised it falsely. Because the folk girl has been weak since she was a child, it is inconvenient for her to see guests, so she has been raised in the courtyard and rarely travels......"

Xiahou Yubai listened to her voice in a gentle and rare way, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but when the two looked at each other, his heart suddenly jumped. Why did the maiden look at it with a deep sorrow in her eyes, as if she were looking at a very poor man, and the deep river washed away the black dust, and rolled to the sky, and when the dust had settled, the ground was full of pale bones, withered grass and crows......

Was she pitying him?

Ming Ming is so young, but his eyes are full of compassion, as if he penetrated his heart at once and reached the deepest part. Xiahou Yubai's breathing suddenly stopped briefly, and he didn't know what to say. He is the prince of Da Sui, but he was looked at by a little girl with pitiful eyes, it was really ...... It's very interesting.

The two looked at each other like this, but Xiahou Shenxiao on the side narrowed his eyes slightly, and the purple qi became more and more dense, like mist. I don't know what's going on, although we have only met twice, he can't tolerate Wen Yukou showing this kind of look to others. He shook his body, blocking between the two, blocking their eye contact, and his tone was cold: "I've only been talking for a long time, and I still don't know why Miss Wen is here?" ”

As soon as Xiahou Shen Xiao moved, Wen Yukou had already collected the light in his eyes and returned to calm. Xiahou Yubai also felt that it was actually very rude for him to look at Wen Yukou for so long, so he coughed lightly and walked aside.

"It's not a big deal, I'm afraid that Cheng Ying will lose everything when he goes out, so I'm going to take a look. Now that it's ready, I'm relieved. Wen Yukou's tone was flat. In fact, when she came, she did have something important to tell Cheng Ying, but since the two princes were here, it was time to find another opportunity.

Wen Chengying looked at the distance, many people were busy coming and going, and they were already about to go out: "Sister, you treat me too much as a child." Hua Yue, hurry up and go to Shan'an Courtyard with Sister A, it's already time to go out, it's late, the old lady should be unhappy. ”

Hua Yue hurriedly answered, turned her head to call the light sedan chair, helped Wen Yukou up, and the four sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair. Wen Chengying approached, holding the sedan chair in his hand, looked left and right, and then looked up and said: "Sister, I will accompany the two highnesses on horseback today, if there is anything wrong with you, send someone to tell me, I will come immediately." ”

Wen Yukou looked at Wen Chengying's serious face, her heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "You ride a horse carefully, your leg injury is not healed, you carefully exert too much muscles, and cry, I don't care." ”

"Knife mouth tofu heart, I remember."

The words of the sisters and brothers did not avoid people, and when Xiahou Yubai listened, he already noticed that there must be a deep relationship between the two sisters and brothers. Although he is a prince, he has never tasted the affection between brothers and sisters, and some are only intrigues. At this time, I saw it with my own eyes, and I felt that it was a bit worthwhile.

After Wen Yukou finished talking with his younger brother, he smiled at Xiahou Yubai, who also nodded in greeting, his eyebrows were full of kindness. The sedan chair was raised high, and when he walked past Xiahou Shenxiao, his purple eyes had returned to normal, but the smile on his lips had not diminished at all, or even deepened. Wen Yukou pondered secretly, after the sedan chair passed, she only felt that those purple eyes were still rippling in her mind. It is not clear whether this third prince is friend or foe, but it is certain that he has no good impression of him at all.
