Yinghui was soon slapped in the face.

Since Xue Chen moved into the princess's mansion, the rumors outside have become more and more powerful, and he seems to be completely unaware of his old self.

Entering and leaving the princess's mansion every day, going to court on time, and doing things as usual, even if the rumors from the outside world are monstrous, he has no intention of moving out.

Yinghui still wanted to find a house for him at first, but she said it twice, and every time Xue Chen was, "The princess doesn't want to take it in?" "," The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, is it possible that the princess is still afraid of these rumors? ”。

Seeing what he said, Yinghui simply went with him, anyway, she thought that she was innocent with Xue Chen, there was nothing invisible, so she regarded it as a friend who lived in the house in distress for a few days, and it was difficult to have a piece of meat.

But later, Xue Chen moved from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and from only walking around outside the princess's mansion at first, to being able to enter and leave her study freely later, and even Yingcheng herself didn't notice that she hadn't seen those people in the backyard for a long time.

Get up early every day, go to the court, and the two of them go the same way, and Xue Chen always has various reasons to look for her.

When Yinghui realized that something was wrong, or at dinner that day, Yun Zhi accidentally said, "Lord Xue hasn't come back yet, but the princess has to wait for him to dine together?" ”

Yinghui bowed to wash her hands and was stunned: "Why are you waiting for him?" ”

Yun Zhi subconsciously replied: "The princess has been with Lord Xue all this time, you also told the slave maid Lord Xue yesterday that the taste is light, let the kitchen prepare some light meals......"

Ying's expression changed.

"Yun Zhi, how long has Xue Chen been in the mansion?"

"It's been almost two months."

"How long has it been since Hongu went to the backyard?"

Yun Zhi was stunned, vaguely seeing that his princess's face was wrong, and lowered his voice a little: "After Lord Xue came, you haven't been there." ”

"Ah Yue, they didn't look for this palace?"

Ah Yue was Yingji's favorite son before, with a delicate appearance, a well-behaved temperament, a good hand and understanding.

Yun Zhi said in a low voice: "I've been here twice, but I met the princess and Lord Xue together......"

In the backyard of the princess's mansion, the people next to him didn't know what was going on, but Yun Zhi was clear.

Except for the few people who stayed in the backyard to protect the princess in the name of the face, the other men were not so much princess faces, but rather princesses who looked at their poor backgrounds and picked them up to give them a place to stay.

For example, the moon prince who almost entered the men's hall in the middle of the family road, and then the princess rescued An Gongzi from the bandits......

The princess will give them a place to live, and they are all willing to serve the princess, the princess was indeed fortunate before, but that is just the game world through them to appease the heart of the palace, and in order to keep themselves from the weakness of the things left by the ancestors, but there are not many true feelings.

The princess took care of the people in the backyard and gave them what they wanted.

Those sons in the backyard also know their identities and are not noisy or noisy.

After Lord Xue entered the mansion, the princess spent most of her time with him, and the two of them either chatted about political affairs or gossip, and sometimes they were alone in the middle of the night.

Those sons in the backyard have not seen the princess for a long time, and they have indeed come to ask a few times, but almost every time they bump into the princess and Lord Xue together.

Everyone tacitly thought that the princess would take care of Lord Xue, and after a long time, they didn't ask anymore, and only continued to live their lives in the backyard.

Ying Ji's heart sank a little when she listened to Yun Zhi's words, thinking about the recent events, and vaguely realized that something was wrong.

……

The reform of the DPRK and China in the matter of land has touched the interests of many people.

Xue Chen's busy feet did not touch the ground, and occasionally he had to deal with those difficult lords and dignitaries, and by the time he realized that Yinghui was estranged from him, it was already several days later.

He didn't see Yinghui when he returned home for three days in a row, and even above the court, the two rarely met.

"Ana, where is the princess?"

Xue Chen entered the study, but he didn't see Yingji, and asked the maid beside Yingji.

Anai has been by Yingji's side since she was a child, just like Yun Zhi, she just said respectfully: "The princess is in the room of the princess of Yue." ”

She glanced at the sky and said, "It's already dark now, the princess is afraid that she will rest in Fuyue Courtyard tonight, is Lord Xue looking for the princess?" ”

"If you have something important, why don't you tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will pass it on for you, or will you look for her when the princess gets up tomorrow?"

The curvature of the young man's originally smiling eyes slowly lowered, and it was obvious that there was no trace of anger, but when the pale red lips were lightly pursed, anyone could sense that he was unhappy.

"I have something important to look for the princess."

Anai stretched out his hand to block Xue Chen: "Lord Xue, it's getting late......"

"The political affairs of the DPRK and China cannot be delayed."

Xue Chen looked at Anai quietly.

Anai remembered the princess's order, and couldn't help but sigh silently: "Then Lord Xue came with the slave maid." ”

……

Princess Yongzhao's mansion is very large, and the original saint was either to show the care of the orphans of the ancestors, or to win the trust of the first emperor and the king of Yan.

Yinghui pitied the people in the backyard, and almost everyone who entered the house had their own small courtyards, and among them, the Fuyue Courtyard was personally chosen by Yinghui for Yue Gongzi.

"Yue Gongzi's family is in the southwest, and there are some foreign blood, the princess is afraid that he will not be comfortable living in the house, so she found someone to find the appearance of his hometown to change the furnishings in the Fuyue courtyard, and because Yue Gongzi likes to play the qin, saying that others are like the clear moon, he specially placed his residence next to the star picking building, and when the stars and the moon are bright, he can enter the pavilion to play the qin and enjoy the moon."

"The sign of this Fuyue Courtyard was written by the princess herself on her sixteenth birthday, and the princess's handwriting at that time was now beautiful."

When Anai led Xue Chen towards the backyard, he pointed to the two small courtyards passing by and said,

"This Qizitang and Qinglin Pavilion are the residences of Gongzi An and Gongzi Yun, one of them has a good sword and a good voice in martial arts, and the princess ......likes it the most."

Although Xue Chen has lived in the princess's mansion for two months, he has never had anything to do with those sons in her backyard, he knows that there are countless male pets in Ying's mansion, but he has never felt it as really as now.

When he arrived outside Fuyue Courtyard, he looked up at the word "Fuyue" on the plaque, and listened to the sound of silk and bamboo piano music coming from inside, and the corners of his mouth tightened.

Anai went in to pass the word, and after a while, he let Xue Chen in.

Xue Chen stepped inside, and what he saw was Yinghui with loose hair and purple cloud veil.

is not like a gorgeous red dress on weekdays, at this time her dress is slightly loose, and the gauze clothes hang obliquely on her shoulders.

As if he had drunk wine, his eyebrows and eyes were less sharp and more colorful, his cheeks seemed to be dyed rouge with a red halo, and his long black hair hung down behind him.

She leaned barefoot in the arms of a man dressed in white, cold as the moon, almost half of her body leaned against him, and the exposed half of her arm was dazzlingly white.

The black hair of the man behind Yingyu fell, the hair of the two was entangled, and the ambiguous atmosphere lingered between each other.

There were two other men in the room, both of whom were good-looking.

Seeing Xue Chen coming in, the person behind Yingcheng said, "Since Lord Xue is here to look for the princess, then let's go down first......

"What are you going down to do?"

Yinghui pulled Nanmenyue's sleeve and said lazily, "You've only listened to half of your new song in the palace, who will play the music for the palace when you leave?" You are a good piano player, but you can play better than all the musicians in the palace. ”

Nanmenyue said softly: "If the princess likes it, I will compose some new ones next time." ”

"Ah Yue is so caring, of course Bengong likes it."

Yinghui turned her head and kissed him on the corner of the mouth, sat up with a smile when the cold boy's face was dyed with a glow, and wanted to go down to the ground barefoot with the gauze that slipped off her shoulders, but was stopped by Nanmenyue: "It's a little cold, the princess puts on shoes and socks first." ”

He got up and squatted in front of Yingyu, taking shoes and socks to put on for her.

Yinghui stepped on his lap with her feet hanging and tossed by him, and asked Xue Chen with her face: "Xue Langzhong, you have to ask Anai to bring you over in the middle of the night, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Xue Chen's eyes were fixed on her white ankles that were being held, and he pursed his lips: "There are some things in Tuntian that I want to discuss with the princess......

"Don't."

Yinghui waved her hand, "The matter of improving the field system is an errand of the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor's uncle has already made a decision before, and handed over this matter to Chen Yin for you to assist, no matter how bad it is, there is Hu Zhiyi." ”

"If you don't know anything, you should also go to them to discuss, if the palace interferes too much, the emperor should be more careful."

Xue Chen raised his eyes to look at her.

Yinghui said with a smile: "Don't look at the palace, it's okay to look at the palace, you should understand the things in the court, there are some things in the palace that can't be touched." ”

"Although you and I have a friendship, this palace will not make an exception for you."

Xue Chen's fist tightened slightly, she didn't say that a few days ago, and she was never someone who would ignore these because the emperor was jealous.

Yinghui looked at his tense jaw, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xue Chen: "...... No. ”

Ying Yi suddenly smiled: "Then you still don't leave?" She jokingly said, "This beautiful night, don't disturb the pleasures of this palace." ”

When Xue Chen clenched his fists tightly and got up, Yingji said behind him,

"By the way, the palace has found a yard for you, and the inside is all cleaned up, that place is an alley away from the Ministry of Works, and it's not far from the palace, wait for Ming'er to let Yunzhi and them help you clean up, and move over as soon as possible."

Xue Chen turned his head suddenly: "The princess is trying to drive me away?" ”

Ying Cheng looked at him sideways: "You are Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and you are the upstart valued by Uncle Huang, if the matter of Tuntian is done well this time, Chen Yin's position as Yuanfu is stable, and your position in the Ministry of Industry can be moved up again." ”

"You can't live in the palace all the time, if you really get in the way of the future because of those rumors outside, the palace will be a sinner."

"I don't care about ......"

"But Hongu cares."

Yinghui interrupted Xue Chen's words and raised her eyes to look at him, "This palace likes beauties, but I only like to be well-behaved and harmless, and I like to stay in the back house to serve this palace, although you and I have a good relationship, but this palace has no idea about you, you can't let this palace bear the notoriety of being a courtier for you in vain?" ”

"Besides, you should understand that if you want to go up, you should cherish your own feathers, you will marry a wife and have children in the future, what is it like to live in this palace all the time, none of those little girls who are really scared when you look back dare to approach you, you will have to die alone."

"This palace doesn't do such a thing that hurts your conscience."

She smiled brightly, seemingly joking, but every sentence made Xue Chen's heart a little cold.

Yinghui said: "This palace knows that you have a high vision, if you don't want the marriage mentioned by the Xue family, there are many good girls in Beijing, and if you look back and talk to this palace, this palace will go to the palace for you to ask for a marriage, and make sure that you have a beautiful ...... for the marriage."

Xue Chen looked at the smiling woman in front of him, only to feel a sense of depression gathered in his heart, and he interrupted her in a deep voice: "No need, I am happy ......"

"Xue Chen."

Yinghui didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then raised her eyes and said, "You are a smart person, don't embarrass this palace." ”

Xue Chen's words froze instantly.

The smile in Yingji's eyes dissipated, and she looked at him indifferently: "This palace likes men, and I won't give up the grand scenery of the garden for anyone." ”

"Your future is in the court, with your ability, you will be able to enter the cabinet in the future to worship the prime minister, don't fold in the place where you shouldn't fold."

After she finished speaking, her eyes drooped slightly,

"It's getting late, go back, let Yun Zhi send you to Xue Mansion tomorrow."

Xue Chen's hand was pinched very tightly, and when his jaw was tensed, the roots of his teeth were hidden blood, and his face lost color because of Yingji's words, but no matter how long he looked at it, the person opposite only looked indifferent, as if the closeness during this time was fake.

There was a pain in his throat, and Yun Zhi couldn't bear to step forward and whispered, "Lord Xue, the slave will send you out." ”

Xue Chen turned around and left.

……

"Princess, Lord Xue seems to be very sad."

"It's just sad for a while, but it'll be fine in two days."

"Lord Kexue......"

"What do you mention him for? This palace has no intention of treating him, so why mislead others and himself. ”

Xue Chen could vaguely hear the sound of Yinghui and Na Yue Gongzi talking behind him, and standing in the courtyard, he could see the light of the lights and candles in the house falling on the doors and windows.

Behind the window lattice, Yingcheng climbed the handsome man and kissed it, when the two figures overlapped, Yingcheng was like a waterfall, and her dress fell slightly, and she was picked up by the man for a moment, and the other two men closed the doors and windows and retreated.

"Lord Xue..."

Xue Chen bit blood from his lips and looked at the back of the window sash.

No matter what Yun Zhi said, he refused to leave, and Nanmen Yue in the house hugged Yinghui to the couch, and originally wanted to get up.

Yinghui stretched out her hand and hooked his neck: "Where are you going?" ”

Nanmen Yue said in a low voice: "Lord Xue has already gone out." ”

"He went out of his, what did he do in this palace?"

She pulled the handsome man and leaned over, and directly greeted her with red lips, turned over and pressed the person under her, "Don't you still want to play music for this palace?" ”

"Then I'll go get the piano ......"

"Take whatever the piano is, just play it like this."

"Princess ......"

A faint voice poured out in the room, and the ambiguous words flowing between his lips and teeth came out for a moment, and a man's suppressed voice came out, and Yun Zhi just looked at Xue Chen beside him standing there motionless like a stone pillar, and the blood on his face faded clean.

……

Although Yinghui deliberately meant to show Xue Chen, she would not wronged herself, she really enjoyed the night, and the next few days were even more fortunate every night, and there was never a shortage of people around her.

She didn't want Xue Chen to put his mind on her, and she also wanted to look at Wen Ya with Xue Chen's temperament, but she was arrogant, and she was not the kind of person who would compromise in her bones.

Previously, he had only heard of her deeds occasionally, and had never seen her "infamous" side with his own eyes, but now that he was afraid that the idea could be cleared, and maybe he would be disgusted with her.

But who would have thought that a few days later, although Xue Chen had never seen her, he still stayed in the princess's mansion.

asked Yun Zhi, and Yun Zhi said, "Lord Xue refuses to go." ”

Yinghui frowned.

"Lord Xue doesn't want the house you gave him, and no one is allowed to enter his residence, and the slave said twice that he didn't pay attention to it." Yun Zhi paused, "Princess, do you want the slave maid to take someone to send Lord Xue out of the mansion?" ”

Yinghui didn't expect that Xue Chen would not leave when she got to this point, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "Move for him and get people out!" ”

"Yes."

Yun Zhi took the order and walked out, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Yingji.

"Wait, come back!"

Yinghui couldn't help but be annoyed on her face, her eyes were also stained with anger, and she scolded in a rare low voice: "This bastard!" ”

This Xue Ting'an is sure that she can't bear his face, isn't it?

At present, the Ministry of Industry is doing the restructuring of Tuntian, and Xue Chen has made countless enemies, and has offended a large number of noble families in order to implement the new policy.

That Chen Yin has the support of the Chen family, and Hu Zhiyi has the emperor behind, but Xue Chen has nothing, if he didn't still live in her mansion, the people in the Manchu Dynasty would know that their relationship was ambiguous and they also knew that she didn't dare to do anything, Xue Chen was afraid that he would have been covered with a sack and sunk into the river.

said earlier that Xue Chen was messing with her, and although there were a lot of gossips outside, she didn't dare to do anything about her, but if she really asked someone to "kick" Xue Chen out of the house at this time.

Those who pointed to Xue Chen and said that he was holding her pomegranate skirt and climbing up, had to fall into the well and bury him alive.

"Princess?" Yun Zhi hesitated, "Lord Xue's ...... over there"

"Leave him alone, he will stay as long as he likes!"

Yun Zhi looked at his master's eyes annoyed and angry, and he didn't want to hurt Xue Chen, and hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but say, "Actually, the princess cares a lot about Lord Xue. ”

She has followed the princess for many years, and since the princess chose the first man when she was fifteen years old, there have never been fewer people in the backyard of Yongzhao Mansion.

The princess is the same considerate to all the sons in the backyard, but this kind of thoughtfulness is different from her attitude towards Xue Chen.

After Xue Chen entered the mansion, the princess allowed him to enter and exit the study at will, and allowed him to walk around the mansion at will.

She is willing to discuss the affairs of the court with Xue Chen, and even the things she only said to An Guogong and Yan Wangye before would occasionally be mentioned to Xue Chen, the two can play against each other for a night, can enjoy tea and enjoy the scenery, and even the princess can think about bringing one to Xue Chen when she sees a good-looking hairpin when she goes out.

Xue Chen has lived in the mansion for the past two months, and everyone can see that the princess treats him differently, and the reason why they "avoid suspicion" is because the princess treats Xue Chen specially, and this special may not even be noticed by the princess herself.

Yingji's face was a little unsightly.

Yun Zhi said cautiously: "The princess has a little bit of a liking for Lord Xue......

Yinghui glanced at her.

Yun Zhi hurriedly shut up.

Yinghui walked under the swing frame, pulled the swing rope and swung for a while, and after the anger in her heart dissipated, she said as if answering Yun Zhi's previous question:

"Xue Chen is good-looking, has a good temperament, has the ability, and is also outstanding, he grows up almost everywhere in the palace's favorite points, and it is normal for the palace to have a good impression of him."

She sat on the swing and tapped her feet on the ground, and the swing stopped.

"If this palace is just an ordinary woman, she must be with him crying and stalking, but this palace is not."

When the emperor's grandfather gave her a choice before she went, and also gave her the opportunity to live the life of an ordinary noblewoman, it was she who gave up to be a princess who was taken care of everywhere and chose today's path.

She has come to this day with thorns, and there are too many people behind her, and she will never give up everything and live this life like an ordinary woman.

Yinghui remembered what her father said to her before he died of his father's sudden death and his grandfather's injury.

She pulled the knot of the swing and said,

"It is impossible for this palace to give up everything now to marry him as a wife, and it is impossible for him to give up his career in the court and enter the back house of this palace."

Xue Chen's liking for her is mostly because she is different from ordinary women, but also because he has never seen a woman like her, if she is also the same as other women, wearing a skirt and staying in the back house, worrying about those trivial things every day, how long can his liking last?

In the same way, what Yinghui likes is Xue Ting'an, who stands in the court, is cold and noble, proud and confident.

If he really entered the backyard of the princess's mansion, like those men, he only circled around a woman, even if this woman was her, she would not like it.

Yun Zhi couldn't help but say after listening to Yingji's words: "There's no need to get married, it's a big deal to just get ...... like this."

"People's desires are endless, when they are not together, they only want to be together, and when they are together, they want to be exclusive and forever. This palace can't give it to him, so why delay him? ”

"But you didn't ask Lord Xue......

Yinghui glanced at Yun Zhi: "You have a lot of words today. ”

Yun Zhi was not afraid of her, and only muttered in a low voice: "The slave just thinks that Lord Xue is quite pitiful." ”

Yinghui stepped on the ground on her toes and kicked hard, and the swing shook.

"What's so pitiful."

She is a person without a conscience.

There are thousands of women in this world, and no matter how strong the liking is, there will always be a time when it subsides.

After waiting for a long time, he has seen too much of her wanton male appearance, and he will always know that they are inappropriate.

When the time comes, he will be his Lord Xue, find a girl from a good family, and become his own son to live his stable life, why bother to get involved with her.
