"I didn't expect the eldest sister to have such a good relationship with the fourth prince, it's really rare."

Xicheng Plum Garden, Cheng Yulou looked at the small pavilion in the distance, the fourth prince Li Mian stepped on the rockery, selected branches for the big sister under the tree, cut plum branches, and couldn't help sighing.

This sigh, as if with envy, and as if with inexplicable expectation, seems to say that they are close now, and when the relationship fades in the future, the current closeness has become a joke.

The fifth prince Li Ke listened to Cheng Yulou's words, but he didn't understand the deep meaning of Cheng Yulou's words, and only Cheng Yulou envied the closeness of the two.

The two of them were on the small terrace at the bottom of the hill.

This plum garden has a mountain view, which is not high, and with sparse plum trees, it is more worthy of viewing than two or three dry plum branches at home.

At this time, the five princes Li Ke and Cheng Yulou were on the terrace at the bottom of the mountain, which was where the literati cooked wine papers in the past.

And the small pavilion where Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian are located is a real pavilion for appreciating snow and plums.

At this moment, the two people on the terrace at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the halfway slope through the sparse plum trees. The expressions of both are very intriguing.

Suddenly, the fifth prince withdrew his gaze from afar and looked at Cheng Yulou beside him.

"I've always heard you say that your big sister has always loved business, not scenery. Now it seems that there is something wrong. It seems that you don't know your big sister very well. ”

The words of the fifth prince were full of anger, and they seemed to be talking to Cheng Yulou, but in fact, their tone was full of guidance. seems to want to lure out Cheng Yulou to say more about Cheng Yuguan's preferences.

If it was in the past, Cheng Yulou was nervous about the Fifth Prince Li Ke from the bottom of his heart, and he would naturally be drawn to his heart with his words and deeds, and say what the Fifth Prince Li Ke wanted to hear.

But now, Cheng Yulou was told by his mother not to try to talk about feelings with men, but to use reason to induce men to achieve his own goals.

At this time, Cheng Yulou's mind calmed down, and in the face of the five princes, he couldn't help but understand his words from his words.

Cheng Yulou listened to Li Ke's words, his face was still nervous and respectful, but his heart was filled with different thoughts.

Cheng Yulou only felt that her jealousy a few days ago seemed to be too arbitrary.

The fifth prince Li Ke does not really like Cheng Yuguan, but is mixed with utilitarianism, and seems to want to prove that he is stronger than the fourth prince in Cheng Yuguan. wanted to insert a thorn between the four princes and Cheng Yuguan to make the four princes uncomfortable.

As for why he thinks so, because Cheng Yulou has been sincere for a short time.

Although the fire that had just been lit was extinguished by the cold water that my mother had twice and three times.

But Cheng Yulou still knows that if a person really likes another person, he will only secretly observe carefully, observe the preferences of the person he loves, guess her thoughts, and cater to her heart.

This kind of secret poke and poke intentions, and surprises, is what loves a person.

But the fifth prince Li Mian is like this, and he inquires about the preferences of the eldest sister.

Let's not mention that as we all know, the big sister has never been close to her.

In the final analysis, the five princes are not attentive, but eager for quick success.

He seems to want to use such a quick way to get to know the big sister, so as to cater to the big sister. Achieve his strength in front of the fourth prince Li Mian.

That's right, for political affairs, the fifth prince Li Ke was left behind by the fourth prince I don't know how far.

But for the wind and snow and the moon, teasing women's hearts, the fifth prince Li Ke is afraid that he is confident, and his ability is also a few streets away from the fourth prince.

He lost in the competition for the deputy chief exam, and seemed to want to make the fourth prince Li Mian disgusted by the eldest sister.

In a flash of thought, Cheng Yulou sensed the true meaning of the words of the five princes.

For some reason, Cheng Yulou suddenly felt a little excited.

If the five princes are really empathetic and don't fall in love, although Cheng Yuguan is sad in his heart, he is only unwilling for himself, and he still loves the five princes as always.

But now, it is obvious that the five princes have ulterior motives for Cheng Yuguan.

Even the competition for women has to be careful, which makes Cheng Yulou feel a sense of contempt in his heart, for some reason, for the five princes who are still the same jade tree in front of him and gentle and elegant.

This kind of contempt has nothing to do with identity, only from the heart.

It's like a moral role model who is seen spitting, and while it may be harmless, it's really shocking and disgusting.

Cheng Yulou naturally would not show the slightest disdain he had risen.

Facing the inquiry of the five princes, Cheng Yulou's thoughts fluctuated in his mind, and finally smiled gently.

"The eldest sister is pure and innocent, whoever has a temper with her, she is a maid, and she is also classified as a sister. If anyone is contrary to her thoughts, even her own sisters are also regarded as strangers. ”

Cheng Yulou laughed at himself at first, and then looked at the five princes, and came up with an inducing idea.

"If Your Highness has a heart for your eldest sister, you might as well pester her more. Although she looks cold and stubborn when she speaks, she is soft-hearted and can't see others showing favor and entanglement. ”

"When His Royal Highness gets acquainted with the eldest sister, and then follows the eldest sister more, as time goes by, the eldest sister will naturally be close to His Highness."

Cheng Yulou's self-deprecation, Li Ke didn't seem to hear it, he was only interested in the method in Cheng Yulou's words.

"It's as simple as that?"

The fifth prince Li Ke twisted his eyebrows and didn't believe it.

As he spoke, the fifth prince Li Ke looked at Cheng Yulou.

"You've been the best at pleasing people and making friends since you were a child. If your big sister is so close, why can't you get along with her, but have been repeatedly frustrated? ”

The words of the fifth prince were like a sharp arrow, piercing Cheng Yulou's knee.

was said by someone who used to love and may still like it now, she is the best at pleasing people and making friends, Cheng Yulou only felt embarrassed by the heat on her face.

But thinking of his mother's words, Cheng Yulou still smiled reluctantly.

"The eldest sister has a natural prejudice against me and my mother because of my first wife. Therefore, no matter how hard I tried, she would not open her heart to me. ”

Cheng Yulou explained, and then looked at the five princes and said.

"Your Highness is different. His Royal Highness, as a nobleman of Tianhuang, if he is willing to put down his body and pester his eldest sister, he will naturally have unexpected effects. ”

Hearing Cheng Yulou say this, Li Ke couldn't help but nod.

In his heart, he was naturally reserved for his identity, so he subconsciously agreed with Cheng Yulou's words.

Seeing that the five princes were thoughtful, Cheng Yulou secretly reminded again.

"Your Highness, the eldest sister speaks stubbornly and chokingly, and ordinary people can't bear it, otherwise, she won't always be alone. After all, even for the sake of the face of the four princes, there are many people who want to make friends with big sisters, but you can also see that it didn't work out. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yulou looked at the five princes cautiously, and glanced at the person in front of him.

"Think again."

Cheng Yulou persuaded the five princes to think twice, but in fact, he was ready to watch the excitement in his heart.

Cheng Yulou knew that her description of her eldest sister was too official.

The big sister speaks, not to mention being stubborn and choking, it is simply vicious and mean.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make friends so far.

Because everyone who shows favor to the big sister can't bear the skill of the big sister, and consciously stays away.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yulou was a little envious of the eldest sister.

She can reject others as she wants, and this alone surpasses the freedom of nine out of nine people in Beijing.

Where does her confidence come from, Cheng Yulou doesn't know, but she wants to know it and wants to replace it.

Cheng Yulou and the five princes fell silent.

One is thinking about how to entangle Cheng Yuguan and block the four princes.

One, thinking about Cheng Yuguan's confidence, wants to replace him.

The two people on the terrace, each calculating in their hearts.

Halfway up the hill, in the small pavilion, Li Mian had already cut two twisted plum branches for Cheng Yulou and inserted them in a plain vase.

Cheng Yuguan held the plum blossom in the vase and admired it for a moment, and hugged it happily in his arms.

She looked at Li Mian with a smile in her eyes.

"Let's go, let's go back. I also smelled the plum fragrance, and I saw the plum blossoms in the snow, and now I have the plum branches, and I brought back some things, and I finally didn't come in vain! ”

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's stingy and stingy appearance, Li Mian couldn't help laughing.

He and Cheng Yuguan are together, obviously the other party is not a talkative and noisy person, but he just can't help but want to laugh, he just thinks that she is cute no matter how she looks at it, and every word and deed seems to be dancing in his heart.

Unconsciously, Li Mian stretched out his hand, originally wanted to touch the cheek of the person opposite, but after stretching out his hand, in the bright eyes of the other party, he finally changed direction, and brushed the other party's hair as before.

Cheng Yuguan thought that the broken hair on his forehead was fried, and he couldn't help but brush it.

Li Mian took the opportunity to grab Cheng Yuguan's hand and held it in his palm.

"My hands are a little cold, give me the bottle. I'll take it back for you, and I won't ignore your things. ”

Li Mian said it funny, but Cheng Yuguan really reluctantly handed the bottle to Li Mian, and said with peace of mind.

"If you like it, now that the tools are complete, the plum tree is right in front of you, and I'll cut some for you." But I like this very much, just hug it, don't take it for me. ”

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's stingy appearance, Li Mian still couldn't help laughing, causing the two people who were calculating at the bottom of the mountain to look at him inexplicably.

"Just cut a plum branch, just let the next person do the drudgery, as for being so happy, I don't know who to laugh at."

Li Ke couldn't help but complain, and Cheng Yulou looked over, and he also looked puzzled and pouted.

Halfway up the slope, Li Mian finally took the plum bottle from Cheng Yuguan's hand and handed the scissors to Cheng Yuguan.

"Go ahead, didn't you say you wouldn't give me a plum bottle? Then cut two for me, and I'll take it back and insert the bottle. ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, took the scissors, stepped on the railing of the small pavilion, and grabbed the plum branch.

She turned her head and asked Li Mian, "Which branch do you like, tell me, I'll cut it for you." ”

After speaking, Cheng Yuguan turned his head, looked at it himself, found the one that had been sparsely budding, turned his head and asked Li Mian.

"How's this one?"

Li Mian's smiling eyes seemed to carry thousands of friendships. He has always had a cold face, but at this moment, his eyes are smiling, almost making Cheng Yuguan embarrassed to avoid this gaze.

Before Cheng Yuguan avoided his gaze, Li Mian nodded with a smile, "That's it." ”

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to cut it, and complained in his heart while cutting it, "You didn't even look at the branch I chose, so you nodded and agreed." I don't like it when I look back, but no one changes it for you. ”

In this way, Cheng Yuguan carefully chose two, and Li Mian also nodded his head.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Yuguan pruned the branches, and without waiting for Li Mian to reach out to pick it up, he jumped off the railing, walked to Li Mian with the branches, and said.

It's really a bandit who takes something and leaves.

Li Mian nodded when he heard this, but he was still worried.

"Cheng Lang, they don't know where they went, let's say goodbye to him and leave."

Cheng Yuguan heard this and waved his hand.

"My third brother loves to be in the limelight, and likes poetry, at this moment must be on the Meixin Pavilion at the gate of the Plum Garden, and look at the readers who came to enjoy the plum poems to make a pair. He is happy with himself, and he has no control over me. I'll ask Liuyun to inform the third brother. ”

As he spoke, the two walked outside the plum garden.

When passing by Meixin Pavilion, I saw Cheng Lang mixed in a group of scholars in green clothes and lanthanum shirts, applauding a scholar's poems.

Liuyun passed, whispered two words in Cheng Lang's ear, Cheng Lang turned his head, looked at Cheng Yuguan and Li Mian, and bowed.

Sure enough, as Cheng Yuguan guessed, he had no time to take care of them.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan looked at Li Mian proudly, Li Mian smiled, reached out and took Cheng Yuguan's hand, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

As a result, the two walked to the gate of the plum garden and were untying the rope at the horse stake.

Cheng Yulou and the fifth prince Li Ke appeared out of nowhere and came to the two.

"It's just right, fourth brother, we're also leaving, just together. Fourth brother doesn't mind, give us a ride. ”

The carriage of the four princes is wide, like a moving bronze house, low-key, it is two horses driving side by side, but the horses are handsome and tall, and they are very eye-catching from a distance.

Right now, in the carriage, the fourth prince Li Mian sits on the main seat, and Cheng Yu is on Li Mian's left hand.

On the opposite side is Cheng Yulou, who has a gentle and respectful face, and next to him, is the smiling Fifth Prince Li Ke.

The four of them were in the same carriage, and even though the carriage was spacious, it was very awkward.

What's even more awkward is that from the moment he got into the carriage, the five princes were very attentive and kept talking to Cheng Yuguan.

"Miss Yuguan's plum bottle is well inserted, the plum blossoms are sparse, and this bottle is also well chosen, simple and elegant. No, Miss Yuguan has always said that she is not good at poetry and articles, but she has a natural elegance in her bones. This nature is stronger than how many pretentious piles up, and there are not many people who claim to be talented and beautiful. ”

The five princes spoke, giving Cheng Yuguan goosebumps.

The fourth prince, Li Mian, also had a strange expression.

Cheng Yulou even felt that he was hit by an arrow in his knee, as if he was being ridiculed by the five princes.

Only the fifth prince didn't seem to notice the expressions of the other people in the carriage, and said intently.

"Miss Yuguan has such a talent, it shouldn't be wasted. If I don't have time to study poetry and books on weekdays, I can take Miss Yuguan with me at the next literati gathering. There is no need to study hard, and Miss Yuguan can also be edified. As the so-called familiar reading of 300 articles, you can't compose poems and chant. How's that, Miss Yuguan? ”

If there is a folding fan, the superiority of the fifth prince Li Ke will emanate from the shaking of the folding fan.

But at this moment, Li Ke's remarks, the sense of superiority is also revealed from every word.

Before Cheng Yuguan could speak, Cheng Yulou couldn't help but cover his face.

She didn't know that she used to see the five princes with halos everywhere, but now that the halo has faded, he is so clumsy!
