Chapter 9: Self-defeating

The brother and sister walked all the way, and the man on the city wall looked at each other from afar, and there was a little melancholy in the cold winter, and the girl's figure gradually disappeared into a little bit.

"Childe has a bad complexion? It won't be long before the saint will dispel the idea of giving marriage" Ji Qun was helpless, although Cai You had already achieved the desired result, it was self-defeating, and even Xie Hou Ye intervened sideways to find out what was going on sooner or later.

"Alas! Miss Xie, I'm afraid I don't want to see you again in the future," Ji Qun muttered quietly.

Cai You's face darkened inch by inch, and the cold air was shining, and there was a knife light in his eyes: "Will you die if you don't speak?" ”

In fact, the moment he stepped into the palace gate, he regretted it a little, but he was selfish but hoped that even if he was rumored to be looking for flowers and asking willows, he was unruly, and the other party in the rumor was her Xie Fanfan, who would have thought that Xie Yi would die and come out to stir up.

The reason why Cai You asked Xie Fanfan to dance on stage for Master Li was also because he thought that there would be today, and today's relief for Master Li can be regarded as a return of favor, which is expected. In any case, he would not really ignore Xie Fanfan.

It's not fake to be sad, and it's not fake to be deceived. It's just that for Xie Fanfan, he originally thought that he would not see Xie Yi again for a long time, and he made such a big fuss, and he couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of the first month, and it was so embarrassing to meet again.

"Let's go home" Xie Yi didn't reprimand, seeing that she was depressed and didn't say much, Xie Fanfan stood there like a log and couldn't hear it.

"Fanfan, obedient!" Xie Yi frowned, covered his mouth and coughed, he had always been in good health, and he had never been so haggard as he was today.

"What's wrong with you" choked up voice still revealed that she was spineless, even if she was embarrassed and stiff again, she still couldn't resist ignoring the person she liked.

Xie Yi smiled indifferently, pretending to be relaxed, "It's okay", and his words were almost unstable.

He Ming stepped forward and hurriedly helped, "After the county lord left, Lord Hou was kind every day, for fear that you would encounter danger outside."

Seeing Xie Fanfan's disdainful look, he hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the Hou Ye to carry the punishment for the county lord, you would have died by now."

"Okay" Xie Yi glared at him, and Xie Fanfan's expressionless face was moved.

After returning home, Xie Fanfan specially asked Xie Yi's little follower in private, who was also a playmate since childhood, only from He Ming to know why he was so seriously injured at the beginning was only on the outside of the skin, and did not hurt the inside.

She hated him for being unkind, but more often she was distressed, she didn't understand why her brother was doing this to her, and she didn't understand what he was hiding.

"If it weren't for the Hou Ye deliberately whispering in front of the Jiang family, you are afraid that you will not be able to escape the torture of the Jiang family, what kind of situation was our Hou Mansion in the past, and how much the Hou Ye endured in order to protect you You don't know anything, and blame the Hou Ye for being ruthless and unjust" Xie Fanfan saw that his tone was full of disgust, and most of the resentment in his heart disappeared.

Thinking that Xie Yi had just lost his love and had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, his heart was in a mess.

One night not long after, she gently buckled the door of the study, and her long and tall figure was reflected on the window paper, Xie Fanfan called "brother" softly through the door, which was the first time she had called him like this in so many days since she left that day, and the door was quickly opened from the inside.

The two looked at each other, Xie Fanfan finally couldn't help sobbing, in fact, after leaving, she encountered many things that caught her off guard, she was caught off guard and got into his arms, like a wronged child with tears in her eyes, Xie Yi was stunned at first, like when she was a child, she was used to stroking her hair tightly, soothing, "Don't hate me?" Xie Fanfan pretended to be unconvinced and puffed out his cheeks, "Hate!" I hate you for making your own decisions, I hate you for thinking that you hurt me and don't say a word."

She paused, tears still rolling in her eyes, "But, but you are my brother, where can I hate it......" Xie Fanfan's voice became smaller and smaller, as small as a mosquito and a fly.

He couldn't help but snort and smiled distressedly, and the bright smile hugged the little glutinous rice dumplings in his arms even closer.

In order to keep this incomparably precious peace in front of him, Xie Yi knows that the past is to let it pass, everything that happened not long ago is best buried in the dust for the rest of his life, never let her know, forever, forever!.

Familiar people are by his side, this long-lost sense of security makes Xie Fanfan dreamy and sweet, and there is no old thing to mention between each other, as if not pursuing it is like a child's discord, which is not worth mentioning.

The people inside slept peacefully, and the figure outside the room shook off the residual snow on his body, and went straight back to the writing desk in the library.

"The young master can be regarded as putting his heart back in his stomach, and the county lord will be good when he comes back" The young man carefully put down the teacup and fiddled with the wick.

"He Ming, do you think I'm too strict with her" Xie Yi frowned, quite remorseful.

"The eldest lady was raised by her son since she was a child, like a father and a brother. All the affairs in this house are taken care of by the son, and it is common for the young lady to be dependent. As the head of the family, Childe does have no choice, and it is not right or wrong. ”

"But Fan'er, sheβ€”" Xie Yi sighed.

"Childe doesn't have to work hard, the subordinates think that Miss Childe may not be a man and a woman, but she is ignorant and understands the child's heart, and she will distinguish it clearly in the future."

"You are a young man and an old man, and when you talk like an adult who has gone through vicissitudes" Xie Yi suddenly felt a little funny, the girl's mind that he hadn't even figured out was not as thorough as this young man.

He Ming and Xie Fanfan are also childhood sweethearts, they have a good impression of her and are easy to be shy, and when Xie Yi said this, her ears were burned and burned, and she stumbled when she spoke, and she looked very embarrassed.

Xie Yi stopped joking and sat alone in the room, the light and moonlight floating on the side of his face made the man more handsome, warm and soft.

Emperor Fuyi let Xie Fanfan go for Xie Yi's sake, but this does not mean that she has dispelled her doubts.

"After breakfast, follow me into the palace" Xie Fanfan listlessly pretended to be a lotus crisp in the bowl that was tortured to the point of disfigurement, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Xie Yi knew that she was reluctant in her heart, so she didn't take the initiative to show her heart and retreat three points, but Zhao Xian's temperament was willing to give up.

Yun Guiyuan was generously gifted, and after several words, Xie Fanfan was dizzy and summarized the cause and effect of the previous offending Cai You, emphasizing that he and he were actually in the same situation.

"Senior brother sees outside, but it's just a misunderstanding, bother the senior brother to take a trip, in the end, it should be the palace, it's the wrong sister" Zhao Xian really listened to these words, and said softly to the two of them, pulling Xie Fanfan to ask for warmth.

Zhao Xian instantly felt that she really didn't need to be angry with her, after all, she was a princess on top, and she had what she wanted.

Talking and laughing, the waiter came to report, and the yellow door held a heavy box: Cai Xiangzhi knew that the princess was macro today, and he did not condemn his son, so he specially presented a treasure to thank the princess for her great kindness.

"Take it away, there is no way to teach the son, if it weren't for his good son, this palace would almost have wronged his sisters and made a joke" Zhao Xian pretended to be annoyed, since she liked Cai You so much, she could die regardless of her identity and dignity, it can be seen that this highness's reproach is nothing more than acting in front of people.

Xie Yi understood, and hurriedly handed over the steps, "It's a misunderstanding, and I hope that His Royal Highness will be angry, how can Weichen make the two of them have a mustard because of his own fault" Xie Yi was respectful, glanced at Xie Fanfan, and she hurriedly responded.

"Then open it and take a look," Zhao Xian said.

What catches your eye is dozens of emerald feather rings and gilded hairpins, two splendid emerald crowns, and a picture scroll of a hundred birds towards the phoenix, slowly unfolding, shining brightly.

"It's still a good etiquette, the east and west palaces accept it, and you tell him not to take it as an example."

"If Cai You is so knowledgeable and interesting, this palace will not care about him" Zhao Xian sighed for a long time, admiring herself, but didn't notice Xie Yi's reaction.
