"I've seen the Fourth Highness."

Chu Zhixia raised his eyes and looked at Bai Ziche carefully, only to feel that his eyebrows and eyes were indeed very much like the emperor, moist and calm. Bai Ziche was dressed like a scholar, and most of his shoulders were wet in order to hold the painting in his arms.

"Miss Chu, is this going out of the palace?" Bai Ziche said, "This rain is getting heavier and heavier, if Miss Chu doesn't dislike it, she can go to the painting academy to sit down." ”

Out of the palace, it is nothing more than to go to Yulinwei or return to the Akiba Mountain Residence. Chu Zhixia remembered the past in his dream, and thought of his lake-like eyes, and his heart was full of thoughts, so he had the idea of escaping.

"Then bother the Fourth Highness."

The messy painting courtyard was hastily cleaned up, and the little eunuchs and painters who served saw Chu Zhixia were all related and didn't dare to say more.

Bai Ziche grew up with a beating, and it was easy to take care of himself and others. He properly cleaned up the water stains on his body, and served Chu Shixia a cup of ginger tea. Bai Ziche's fingertips have unwashed pigments, which are colorful.

"The Fourth Highness has tormented the ministers." Chu Zhixia took the hot ginger tea and said in a low voice.

"Miss Chu doesn't have to be so polite, I'm different from other princes. Miss Chu saved me once, but I had nothing to thank, I was ashamed. Bai Ziche spoke with humility, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Chu Zhixia has always known what is good and bad, knows how to advance and retreat, and those who know this kind of thing can be taken seriously, but those who listen to it can never get an inch, so he said, "Your Highness is serious." ”

The white walls of the painting courtyard are covered with moss, and there are creepers hanging on the walls, which is full of greenery.

Chu Zhixia warmed his hands with hot ginger tea, and sat under the eaves to watch the rain dripping on the ground. In the painting courtyard behind her, the eunuchs were reluctantly sorting out and counting the destroyed scrolls, and Bai Ziche even condescended to help.

There are many treasures in the painting academy, and the three princes smashed it, and it was not only the works of the painters who were damaged, but also many famous works.

"It's over," the young and casual little eunuch sat on the ground, weeping and wiping tears, "I ruined so many paintings, how many lives are enough to pay for?" ”

This sentence spoke everyone's heart, and all the painters were silent, and their eyes looked at Bai Ziche intentionally or unintentionally with resentment.

"If it weren't for the Fourth Highness you painted that picture, which made the Third Highness unhappy, there would be no disaster today."

Many people think so in their hearts.

But they didn't dare to say it. No matter how down-and-out Bai Ziche is, he is also a prince, the three princes can be beaten and scolded, and the children of powerful families in the court can also be contemptuous, but painters and eunuchs who are subordinates cannot.

"What exactly is that painting painted by His Royal Highness?" Chu Zhixia suddenly interjected and asked, "I see, there is a person on it." ”

"I don't know who that person is." Bai Ziche shook his head, "I only know that it's a beauty." There are many portraits of her in the collection pavilion of the art academy, but my father said that it is difficult to simulate the charm of people. I pondered the old work and painted that picture, so I was rewarded by my father. ”

Chu Zhixia said confusedly, "But I see that His Royal Highness is dressed plainly, and he doesn't look like he has been rewarded." ”

Bai Ziche hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have given my father's reward to the painters and miscellaneous servants of the academy." I can't get out of the palace, and I don't have anyone to reward, so it's useless to keep it. ”

The painters turned their heads uneasily when they heard this, as if they wanted to avoid Chu Zhixia's gaze.

Chu Zhixia laughed, "I looked at the big guy's expression, and I thought that the benefits were promised to His Highness alone, but everyone had to bear the burden of causing trouble!" ”

These words are tricky and mean, and the people who are so ashamed that they still have face are weak.

The older painter patted the little eunuch on the head, hating that iron is not made of steel, "Can you cry these paintings if you cry?" Don't hurry up and get to work! ”

——

This rain has been falling for a long time, and Chu Zhixia has a cup of hot ginger tea, and actually sat in a chair and fell asleep groggyly. In her sleep, she noticed someone approaching, and with a gust of wind, she alertly grabbed the man's wrist.

"Who?!"

"It's me." Bai Ziche unhurriedly let go of his fingers and covered her with a thin blanket.

"I'm sorry, the minister is sleepy, there are many overpasses." Chu Zhixia said apologetically.

"No problem." Bai Ziche sat down beside her, "It's raining heavily, do you want to send someone out of the palace to report the news and call Miss Chu's family to pick you up?" ”

"Just wait for the rain to stop." Chu Zhixia happened to be clean, and he didn't care, "What does His Highness plan to do with those paintings?" ”

"Some are remedy, some are ...... I can't help it. Bai Ziche shook his head and said, "It's okay to go back and ask my father for guilt." ”

"The painting academy smashed by the Third Highness, why do you want the Fourth Highness to ask for your guilt?" Chu Zhixia blurted out, only to realize that this recklessness was made.

"Although I am a prince, I have known since I was a child that I am different from other brothers and sisters." Bai Ziche smiled, his smile was free and easy, "Even if I sue the Third Emperor Brother, it won't help, but make him hate me." But if I don't accept this crime, I will suffer as a painter and miscellaneous servant in the art academy. ”

Bai Ziche blinked and said with a smile, "If you are punished, you will be punished, you can't really kill me." ”

Chu Zhixia didn't answer this time, just smiled.

"Fourth Highness, there is something I want to remind you." Chu Zhixia said casually, "I'm afraid that the Third Highness will be persevering in making trouble for you in the future." ”

Bai Ziche was stunned.

The three princes are not so idle, and will pay attention to how many paintings are sent to Weiyang Palace every day, and which paintings the emperor likes to work with. He was furious, and it must have been because this matter had touched his scales - nothing more than the East Palace and the Queen.

How could a fairy in a painting offend the queen?

It must be someone who is opportunistic, and when he saw that the emperor was infatuated with the person in the painting, he went to the people to find a similar woman.

There is already a concubine Rong in the palace, and the queen has been snubbed, relying on the prestige of the Chen family to not be stepped on her head and do whatever she wants.

If there is another one, even if it is self-defeating and not favored by the emperor, it will be a very disgusting thing for the queen.

Even if Bai Ziche was unintentional, the third prince would not let him go.

What's more, the third prince is not a reasonable person at all.

——

Akiba Mountain House.

When Chu Zhixia returned home, it was already dark, and Yuzhu brought her ginger tea, but she pushed it away.

"I've drunk it in the palace." Chu Zhixia said.

Yuzhu was only careful as the servant in the palace, so she didn't think much about it, but just settled the gentleman Lan who she brought back in the room.

"My eldest lady, can you go back to sleep in the willows next time, and send someone back to let me know?" Yuzhu said sarcastically, "The people in the palace came this morning, and no one dared to accept the order. It was still Yu Linwei's Deng Mian Gongzi who came to deliver a letter, saying that you robbed the girl of Fang Manting to swim in the lake and did not return overnight. ”

"The eunuchs who came out of the palace have fine skin and tender meat, where can they ride horses?" Yuzhu looked at her reproachfully, "You won't not see that you were taken to the horse by your guards and shouted, and when you dismounted, you vomited and diarrhea, right?" ”

Chu Zhixia touched his nose weakly, trying to quibble, "I am young and ignorant, and there is always a time to use wine to drown my sorrows." ”

"If you have any worries, you can't go home!" Yuzhu raised her voice, "Is there such a free way out there?" When the second son was the most bastard, he didn't dare to rob the girl who was in someone's flower building and didn't return home at night! ”

Yuzhu said this and regretted a little, if it was in the clouds, Chu Zhixia would definitely not be able to do such a frivolous and floating thing. But Chu Zhixia just left the clouds, and these words may arouse her homesickness.

Chu Zhixia was not aroused by the pain of homesickness at all, and asked for forgiveness again and again, and immediately withdrew from the bedroom.

After the rain, the air was fresh, and Chu Zhixia slowly swayed to the pavilion by the lake, lying on the railing and looking at a pool of broken moonlight. It was quiet all around, but Chu Zhixia knew that someone had been following her.

Shen Zhou is like her shadow, the past and present lives are combined, and he has followed her for more than 20 years.

Giving up a shadow also has the pain of breaking skin and bones.

Chu Zhixia laughed in his heart at his self-righteousness, and took the sinking boat as his own as a matter of course.

"Shen Zhou, I have something to say to you."

A man walked out of the thick shadows, and Shen Zhou stood silently in front of her, separated by a distance of three feet, and could reach each other with a stretch of hand. However, Chu Shixia felt that this was a ravine that she could not cross in her life.

Shen Zhou stubbornly refused to approach Chu Zhixia, not knowing if it was because she left with her hands behind after that kiss, or because she didn't let him follow for a day and a night.

It's awkward and cute.

Chu Zhixia laughed, raised his hand and said, "You come here." ”

Shen Zhou took a step forward slowly, and was grabbed by Chu Zhixia by the collar and bowed down. Chu Zhixia dropped a dragonfly kiss on his slightly cool lips, and the breath between the two could be heard.

"Do you know what that means?" Chu Zhixia stared at Shen Zhou's eyes at such a close distance, as if he was looking at a pair of ink-colored ice crystals, and his heart involuntarily beat up.

"In this world, only people who are happy with each other can do such things, and there are things in the books that Deng Mian showed you." Chu Zhixia used up all the patience in his life to teach Shen Zhou the word love.

"The two are happy, that is, if you love someone, she also loves you. There are no secrets, no deception, and you want to live this life with her, no matter your family background, illness, or war. She can fight for you, and so can you. ”

"You will have three teas and six ceremonies, eight sedan chairs, and the Ming media is marrying and welcoming her into the door. She will be your wife, and you will live this life together. ”

Chu Zhixia racked his brains, searching for allusions to the best couples in the world, to find the best and best love model for Shen Zhou, "just like ...... "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" and "Baitou Yin", just like the loquat tree that my brother told us." ”

Shen Zhou has been reading and reading with her since he recovered his five senses, as if he was cultivated by the little son of the family, no wonder Deng Mian would say that he was Chu Zhixia's child husband.

He naturally knows that "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated", and he also knows that "there is a loquat tree in the court, and the hand planted it in the year of my wife's death is now like a cover". Shen Zhou, the poem he learned when he was young, didn't understand the depth of his feelings, and his meaning, but he felt pain between Chu Zhixia's trembling lips.

Shen Zhou listened quietly, as if he wanted to exhaust the wisdom of this life to understand every word of her, to appreciate the love of the world.

"You...... Got it? Chu Zhixia asked this sentence, but he didn't dare to look at Shen Zhou's eyes.

The pain of being unable to breathe grabbed Shen Zhou's heart, and he looked down at Chu Zhixia's trembling eyelashes, wanting to reach out and smooth them, but he didn't dare.

Why is he so timid in his life?

Don't be sad. Shen Zhou said in his heart, if you don't want me to kiss you, I will never kiss again.

You don't cry.

Chu Zhixia only noticed Shen Zhou's nodding movement.

"Don't kiss me like this in the future, and don't kiss anyone else." Every word Chu Zhixia said was like a tiny blade, Ling Chi her heart over and over again, "Otherwise, your future lady will be unhappy." ”

Whose private property will such beautiful lips be in the future?
