Ambergris slowly flowed out of the slender mouth of the chisel gold green luan incense burner, and the residual rain sparsely beat the plantain outside the window, and the room where the dark fragrance was surging was full of spring.

The girl was dressed in a Tianxiangluo shirt decorated with the tears of the mermaids of the East China Sea, and sat in front of the glass mirror of the Western Regions to pay tribute. She is twenty-eight years old, the flower and the moon, the skin is like snow, and there are mother's skillful hands, the long hair like a cloud is curled into a fashionable fallen horse bun, decorated with red gold silk wrapped in eight treasures Ruyi step shake, colorful gems as auspicious cloud pattern around the Ruyi hairpin bite the eight treasures of Buddhism strung into the step shake, the breeze blows, Yingluo strikes, emitting a pleasant crisp sound, the treasure is smooth over the girl's smooth forehead, more and more lined with phoenix eyes, can not be square.

"The princess is really beautiful. ”

Mama couldn't help but sigh, her eyes signaled, and immediately someone from the palace sent emerald gold earrings from a small country in the Western Regions. This earring is hollowed out, the upper end is a thumb-sized emerald sealed in the gold wire, and there are several strings of small emeralds strung into tassels below, fingers flick, the emerald in the gold wire cage rolls, and the emerald tassel below will also sway, exquisite and gorgeous, unparalleled in the world.

However, when Mama was about to put on these priceless earrings for the princess, the princess looked at herself in the glasses and said tiredly: "Night Yin said that only barbarians wear earrings. He doesn't like it, so I don't wear it. ”

"But wearing earrings is the custom of our Xianbei people for generations, how can the princess be that Nanban-"

Mama whispered to comfort, but unexpectedly, the tip of her tongue spit out slander, and Princess Chen Guo, who was still smiling quietly, suddenly changed her complexion, and said: "Ye Yin is the future husband of this palace, you are the daughter of a slave rider, and you dare to speak disrespectfully!"

"Your Highness...... The old slave is just ......"

Mama knelt on the ground and argued again and again, but Princess Chen Guo was too lazy to look at her again, Tie Qing motioned left and right to drag the old woman out of the palace immediately, and reprimanded the female officials standing beside her: "You have all remembered it for the palace, whoever dares to say that he is not in front of the palace, you have to be careful of your head!"

After that, he pulled off the excessively ostentatious red gold silk wrapped in eight treasures and shook it in a wishful manner, threw it on the dresser casually, took off the gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes decorated with mermaids' tears, changed into the narrow-sleeved skirt of ordinary palace people, took the decoction that the palace maids had prepared for a long time, and walked towards the Yu Nuan Hall where Li Yeyin, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, temporarily lived.

......

......

The rain on the tiles dripped lifelessly, hitting the surface of the lake, causing ripples, and Tuoba Jing lowered his head and carefully blew away the fine petals mixed in the black hair.

In another half a month, this man will become her husband, although he still does not know the way, the little palace maid who takes care of him every day is the princess of Chen Guo who is about to marry him. Thinking of the upcoming marriage, she was happy and uneasy, she didn't dare to tell her identity, she was afraid that the moment he knew the truth, he would never show her a smile as bright as the moon lighting up the night sky.

Long before the army went south, she had heard the name of Li Yeyin, he was the most amazing and brilliant figure in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was the bright moon in the hearts of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He is peerless in terms of appearance and intelligence, although he is a son of a family, he has many supporters inside and outside the palace, he is tired of talent, and has lived under house arrest and surveillance since he was a child, but he is not stained with dust, and he is as perfect as a fairy.

At that time, she looked at his legend and was dismissive: how could there really be such a perfect character in the world.

Yet, when she actually saw him—even if he was a stinking death row inmate locked in a dungeon—she was stunned, and she suddenly realized that no legend could describe his perfection in a ten-thousandth place. He only looked up at her, and she went mad, and her heart betrayed her body. She wanted him, she begged her father to give him to her, and in order to persuade her father to marry, she even took out her private house to bribe the courtiers, so that they could take turns to read the book and talk about the benefits of the marriage between Princess Chen Guo and the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

She disguised herself as a palace maid, surrounded him every day, boiled medicine and fed him, combed his hair and washed his face, and stayed awake all night. She personally squeezed out the pus from his wound, changed the powder, and even scrubbed his body shamelessly.

She loved him so madly that she was choked by someone's throat, and every day she couldn't see him, she would die of heartache.

She watched him day after day, watching him wash away the dirt and reveal his true face as bright as the moon, and watching the palace maids blush and heartbeat because of his casual gaze. She bumped into her cousin and cousin who were "lost" and passed by Yu Nuandian more than once, and they made no secret of their coveting him, and she also did not shy away from announcing that Li Yeyin was the man of her princess Tuoba Jing, the princess of Chen Kingdom!

The man who wants to rob me?

"What is Jing'er thinking again?"

The soft voice like a spring breeze slid over her earlobe, and she quickly lowered her head and looked at him obsessively.

"I'm thinking, what should I do after the prince and the princess get married? Princess Chen Guo is the pearl of His Majesty's palm, she ...... Domineering and jealous, I will not be able to tolerate this lowly slave and maid. ”

Hearing this, Li Yeyin stretched out his hand and stroked her earlobe, and a crescent-like smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Men and women love, if they are reluctant, but no one can help it. Princess Chen Guo can force me to marry her, but she can't force me to love her. I thank her for freeing me from the dungeon, but I will never be grateful to her for this, let go of the hatred of the country and family, and marry her. Even, I'll thank her for freeing me from the dungeon, and it's all because of you. I thank her for letting me meet you. ”

The warmth and affection touched Tuoba's heart to soften, she blushed and said in a panic: "However, I am also the ...... you hate the most"

"You're not the same as them. ”

Half-propped up, her black hair falling like night, her vast and far-reaching eyes staring straight at her, silky fingers sliding over her cheeks and pinching her chin.

"I grew up in the court, and I was used to seeing beautiful and ugly women, and for me, a woman's beauty had nothing to do with her status, her appearance, or even her ethnicity. You appeared when I was at my most desperate and gloomy, took care of me, and pulled me back from before the ghost gate closed again and again. I...... I can't imagine what I would be like without you......! They have replaced my deceased relatives and become the most special beings in my life. ”

The amorous words condensed the sincerity of heartbreak, and the tumbling anticipation in his eyes made Tuoba Jing wonder: If he refused, would both hearts be shattered together?

“...... I...... I ......"

Tuoba choked up. At the moment when she finally got the promise of his love, she had mixed feelings and was in pain.

"So, leave the palace with me, I'...... will give you a superior life that you don't lose to the princess, you just need to hold my hand, believe me, follow me, and that's it. ”

Sweet love words lingered in her ears, but they also shattered her heart. She finally understood what it meant to ride a tiger, at the moment when she got the love she had always dreamed of.

She wanted to tell him the truth, she was Tuoba Jing, and she was also the princess of Chen Guo. But she was afraid that he would get hurt, and even a look full of disappointment would make her want to cut herself with a thousand knives.

“...... I...... I...... Never walked out of the palace, I ...... Afraid...... I...... The world outside ......"

After a few struggles, Tuoba Jing, who had an unspeakable secret, finally collapsed, she pulled up her dress, ran to the railing, and whimpered in a low voice.

Li Yeyin's face was suddenly covered with a layer of sadness, he walked behind her, hugged her gently, and bit her ear: "Jing'er, I know that you are afraid, but we who stay here are destined to have no future." Do you want me to watch Princess Chen Guo shout at you? Do you want you to never see the light of day for the rest of your life? This is not the life I want, I ...... I'd rather die than let you suffer such a grievance!"

“...... But...... I...... I am...... She has always loved you, she loves your heart, and she doesn't ...... at all No less than me. ”

She wept bitterly, unspeakable secrets tormenting her soul.

"The person I love is you, not her. ”

Words as soft as water slipped over the earlobes, but they were more desperate than a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Tuoba Jing raised his head, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word, "What if I were her?"

"Jing'er, what are you playing-"

Before the words fell, Li Yeyin's smile froze, his gentle eyes were full of consternation, he grabbed Tuoba Jing's shoulders with both hands, and shook it vigorously: "No, this is definitely not true!

"But that's the truth, I ...... I fell in love with you when I saw you in the dungeon, and for your sake, I condescended to disguise myself as a court maid. The gentler you are with me, the more I will ...... The more I don't know how to tell the truth, I'm afraid of losing you! But if I don't say it again, I'll really ...... I love you!"

Tuoba Jing, who bravely told the truth, didn't even wait for Li Yeyin to answer, so he pushed him away and ran out of the Moon Pavilion crying.

Li Yeyin didn't chase, he watched her go away, bent down, picked up a fallen flower, put it at the corner of his lips, and kissed it low.

"Tuoba Jing, you are really a spoiled child, you actually think that you can hide your identity by changing your clothes. Although Qi Guo admires luxury, the only woman who can use a drop of golden rose fragrance dew as hair oil is the most favored and arrogant Princess Chen Guo. I want to pretend that I don't know who you are, but it's hard. ”

"But seeing Shizi so naturally love her, I almost suspected that Shizi was sincere. ”

At the covered bridge, a young eunuch with ** painted on his face walked slowly with his waist hunched.

Li Yeyin turned around, looked at the eunuch, and laughed at himself: "Gonggong Qu, I am now in complete ruins and in prison, what is precious except for a face? ”

"The prince is humble. It's just that in this way, I'm a little sorry for Miss Lingyun. ”

"Qu Lang, even if you become a eunuch, you still have the same pity for the jade. With a chuckle, Li Yeyin casually threw the falling flowers in his palm into the pool of liquid, and his words were cold: "Fortunately, Lingyun has long had the consciousness of death. ”

"Shizi!" Qu Lang's voice suddenly rose to the top, he looked at Li Yeyin in shock, his fingertips trembled, "Could it be ...... Is it ......?"

"This is Lingyun's own request, she would rather die than see me take other women into her arms. ”

Smiling coldly, Li Yeyin turned his face sideways, looked at the falling flowers floating and sinking in the blue water, and muttered, "It's a pity that I only have one heart." No matter how deep and painful their love is, they are destined to get nothing. ”
