April 211 BC

On the day Changxi left Afang, it rained lightly in Xianyang. The spring rain has always been gentle, falling on the ground with a splash of dust. The rain soaked my hair and clothes, but I didn't realize it, just stood quietly in front of the gate of the palace of Xianyang Palace, waiting for the carriage to return.

Luo Ying and Xiangzi stood beside me, holding two delicate wine bottles and a pot of osmanthus wine that I had brewed a few years ago when I was still in Xianle Fang. Back then, Xiao Xu and I brewed this osmanthus wine in order to drink it during the solar term or when a happy event occurred, but it turned out that people are not counted as heaven, but I didn't expect that today it is used to give away.

The reunion wine finally turned into a parting wine.

"Sister Cher. Luo Ying snorted and said a little sadly: "Changxi son, he really wants to leave?"

I was silent, squeezed out a smile, and said, "yes, he's going back to where he should be." ”

"Sister, are you willing to give him up?" Xiangzi, who has always been calm, couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you let Gongzi take you with you?"

"What will you do if I'm gone?" I smiled wryly and sighed, "I have something with him that I can't let go." He can't let go of his great ambitions, and I can't let go of my relatives, friends and subordinates. There are so many worries, but it is more painful to be together. In that case, why not get together and disperse?"

"It's a good gathering and a good dispersion, the Snow Girl is really good-minded. ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind me, and I turned my head to see Gao Xiran riding a horse from outside the palace.

"Gao Gongzi. I blessed my body and said politely: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Gao Gongzi's complexion is getting better and better." ”

"Girl, is this sarcasm?" Gao Xiran smiled bitterly, dismounted beside me, and said helplessly: "In the past few days, I have been running back and forth, and everyone has said that I am getting thinner and more tired, but you say that I look good." ”

"The ancients said that people are in good spirits when they are happy. There is something good happening today, how can Gao Gongzi's complexion be bad. I smiled and said, "No matter how tired my face is, my heart is always refreshed." ”

I didn't expect the Snow Girl to look supple and speak so smartly, so that Gao was speechless. Gao Xiran shook his head, looked at the empty Afang Palace, and suddenly stopped talking.

"Gao Gongzi might as well say it directly. ”

Gao Xiran paused, then sighed, turned his head and asked me, "Miss Tilting Snow really doesn't want to go with His Highness?"

"Where are you going?" I said with a wry smile, "He has so many things to do, where can he take care of me, I am just a burden to him." Besides, he's already engaged, what will that girl think of me? ”

"Is the girl worried about Miss Liuwu?" Gao Xiran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he smiled: "The marriage between His Royal Highness and Miss Liuwu was decided by His Royal Highness Shu Yan, although the two are baby relatives, they rarely see each other, and they have no feelings. But His Royal Highness's affection for the girl is different, and your Highness's joy and anger, you account for half of it. ”

"His Royal Highness Shu Yan ......"

"Her Royal Highness Shu Yan is the mother of His Highness. Gao Xiran explained: "His Royal Highness is extremely filial, so he has never objected to His Royal Highness Shu Yan's arrangement. But the girl doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness Shu Yan is also from a humble background, and he will not dislike you. ”

I smiled and didn't answer, just glanced at Luo Ying and motioned for her to pour wine for Gao Xiran.

Gao Xiran is not an idiot, he saw that I didn't want to answer, and he knew that I would not go with them. He let out a long sigh, as if he was a little annoyed, drank all the wine handed by Luo Ying in one gulp, and said with a wry smile: "Good wine." ”

"It's coming. Xiangzi whispered.

I looked up, and sure enough, the outline of the carriage became clearer, and then it got closer and closer to us.

The person driving the car was Qin Yuqi, he was dressed in a black short fight, with a dagger and a sword pinned to his waist, his hair was tied up high, and the slaughter on his face was unobstructed. After Xiao Xu left, his face lost its tenderness. Always eyebrows and eyes, sharp edge.

The carriage stopped in front of me, and Qin Yuqi jumped out of the carriage and said to me, "Girl, get in the carriage, Your Highness has something to say to you." ”

I looked at Luo Ying and Xiangzi, who looked at Gao Xiran and those with red cheeks, and lifted their skirts and got into the carriage.

In the carriage was a mahogany table, on which was a delicate rosewood inlaid jade box. And Changxi was sitting cross-legged on the side of the small table at the moment, with a gentle smile on his face.

He was wearing a dark brocade robe today, and on his head was a delicate and ornate jade inlaid gold crown. Long, uncombed hair poured down his shoulders and was scattered on the floor of the wagon covered with tiger skins. He was already born extremely beautiful, and with today's gorgeous outfit, it seems even more that his face is like a crown of jade, not like a man in the world.

My heart trembled slightly, and I lowered my eyes full of astonishment, and sat down with my head bowed and across from him.

"Brother Changxi, what do you want to tell me?" I didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Finish it earlier, let's hurry early." ”

"Cher, you should have known that I am not Korean. Changxi said quietly: "I am the son of Dan, the prince of Yanguo, surnamed Ji, Yan, and named Changxi. ”

My hanging hand couldn't help but clench slightly, but my voice was still cold: "I know." ”

"My father died a miserable death, the country was in ruins, and as his son, I had to do something for the thousands of people in Yan Kingdom. His voice fell.

"So you disguised yourself as a musician and entered the room, deliberately approaching the ladies of the palace to get information?" I laughed, "It's a good idea, after all, you're so smart." ”

"My intentions are true, but I am not approaching you for such a shallow purpose. His hand crossed over to me and grabbed me, his voice full of tenderness: "I really want to be with you." ”

He spoke so carefully, as if he was afraid that I would leave suddenly. Feeling the temperature of his palms, I couldn't help but think of the scene last summer, when I accidentally contracted the wind cold.

At that time, I was in confusion due to fever, and he held my hand as gently as he did now, and whispered in my ear, "Xue'er is not afraid, you still have me." ”

I clenched those hands, and in a trance I really thought that this warmth would always belong to me.

"It's not early. I withdrew my hand lightly and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chief, you should go." ”

Changxi's hand that was about to reach over stiffened, but he finally took it back.

"Cher, why don't you understand?" he seemed to ask me, and he seemed to ask himself. In the end, probably unable to think of an answer, he let out a long sigh.

"I have something for you. He pushed the rosewood box in front of me and said softly, "This is my gift to you, you must accept it." ”

I hesitated for a moment, but reached out and opened the wooden box.

It is a white jade pendant, and the center of the jade pendant is a hollow pattern, looking at the shape of a tiger or leopard.

The tiger and leopard symbolize the royal family, and what he gave me was a royal thing.

"I can't ask for it!" I closed the box and returned it to him, frowning, "How can I accept something so valuable!"

"If you accept something from me, I will naturally want a gift in return. "He suddenly leaned over, put one hand on the back of my head, and the other gently pinched my jaw, and then kissed me gently.

His lips were slightly cool, soft as goose fluff, and gently printed my lips, which made me feel hot.

After a while, he let go of me and whispered in my ear: "Although the son said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, I am greedy by nature and don't want to let go. Xue'er, I'm not an abusive person, since I have identified you, it will be a lifetime. ”

His hair slipped over my shoulders and hung down at the sides of my cheeks like a curtain, covering my now flushed face.

The hair that was originally curled up suddenly spread out, and it was the purple hosta that Changxi took away from my hair.

"Cher," he smiled a little slyly, "I accepted this love token." ”

My heart was beating like a drum, and I looked at the alluring man in front of me, but I didn't know that he also had such a cunning face.

When I walked out of the carriage with my hair scattered, the people were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at it clearly. My face was red, and I asked Luoying to come to the wine bottle, handed a bottle of osmanthus wine to Changxi, who lifted the curtain, and whispered: "This kind of opportunity is rare again, please drink all the wine in the cup." ”

Changxi's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, he took the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Wine and beauty, this is okay, Xue'er, wait for me." ”
