In terms of appearance, the title pool is more like her mother, Song Rongying.

On the way to her room, Chi Qingxuan told her about the situation at home: "There are not many people in the family, you have just seen them." I heard my father say that there are more relatives in the old house in Jiangnan. When he came to Beijing, only his grandmother came with him, but she passed away when I was five years old. ”

Chi Licheng has been rising in the past few years, and he has been an official and a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but he is only the wife of the county lord of Ruize, and there is no concubine room for half of the room - except for the mother of the title, but even if her mother gave birth to her, she is still nameless.

She had heard the people of the old mansion mention this past.

When Chi Licheng entered Beijing to take the exam, he indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and met Song Rongying, who was famous in Beijing at that time, in the dance workshop. He is a scholar, and his ancestors are rich businessmen, he has a lot of knowledge, talks decently, and writes poems and paintings, and he captures the heart of the first dancer in the capital.

But he is indeed talented, even if it is so absurd, he was ranked first on the day of the list, and because of this, he had a marriage with the county lord.

At that time, Song Rongying was talented and beautiful, and it was difficult to find a thousand gold for a dance, so Chi Licheng had to give up his heart. But his father-in-law was indeed the best shortcut for him to rise to prominence, so he hid from the county lord and secretly placed Song Langying in the suburbs of Beijing.

Song Langying was coaxed by him, not knowing that he was about to marry a wife, and even embroidered a hijab on himself with joy. But month after month, she became pregnant with the title, and the month grew a little bigger, and the wedding date was not set.

Chi Licheng came less and less.

It wasn't until the county lord of Ruize, who was also pregnant with a child, came to the door that the two women discovered each other's existence. The county lord has always been unable to rub sand in his eyes, and he was angry and moved to the fetus, giving birth in less than a month, and almost died. Because of this, Chi Qingxuan was born weak.

In order to accumulate blessings for her daughter-in-law, Song Rongying and the child in her belly were accommodated, but they had no name and were sent to the old mansion in Jiangnan, and they have never met Chi Licheng since.

Chi Qingxuan led her to the most remote corner of the mansion, where there was a separate hut, and she was apologetic: "Second sister, my father said that it is not the time to recognize you coming back, so I want to wronged you to live here these days." Even at home, you don't move around much, you don't show up often, and if someone asks, you say that you are a cousin from Qingzhou. ”

The rank pool looked like he was allowed to arrange, and responded softly, without asking.

Chi Qingxuan went in with her, carefully looked at the furnishings in her room, and instructed the maid next to her, "Take two people to bring the makeup mirror in my room and ask for the rosewood one." ”

She turned her head to look at the second sister, "Before, my mother and I didn't know the second sister's preferences, and if the added things didn't suit the second sister's wishes, the second sister could tell me." ”

"That's good." The voice of the chichi was a little quieter, with just the right amount of restraint, "Mother and sister Lao are bothered. ”

Chi Qingxuan looked at her - Xu is only when she said that she could only be a cousin, she was a little more anxious, and the little girl's eyes were red, and she smiled at her.

Blame the poor man.

"My sister has suffered all these years. It's so easy to come back now......" Chi Qingxuan sighed and called Lu Qiao, who hadn't gone far, "Bring the pearl hairpin on the top layer of my makeup as well." ”

Chi Qingxuan's face seemed to be genuinely distressed.

Zhichi was stunned, and then thought to herself, if she was acting too much - but her father and mother-in-law, all of them have nine turns and eighteen turns, if she doesn't pretend to be weak and simple-minded, how can she hide from them?

How to grasp people's hearts, how to perform the most suitable appearance for the other party - these are all things they forced her to learn.

She studied very well, and there were no flaws in the East Palace for three years, let alone now.

"My sister has given me enough today......" Halfway through her words, Chi Qingxuan shook her hand and said gently: "I was also going to give it to my sister, but I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring it." ”

Seeing that the title pool was still refusing, she simply pointed to the clumsy wooden hairpin on her head, "I don't wear those on weekdays, and if I stay there, it will be dusty." ”

Chi Qingxuan stayed for half an hour, and it wasn't until she saw that she was tired that she remembered that she had bumped all the way, and she should be tired. Before the maid that her mother picked for the Rank Pool came, she made the bed for the Rank Pool with her own hands.

Chi Chi stopped it, but she didn't stop it, Chi Qingxuan didn't let her do it herself, so she stood aside and watched.

Chi Qingxuan's body is not as tall as her, and she is very thin, such a figure makes the original fair complexion a little sickly, as if a gust of wind can blow it away.

Looking at her busy back, and the Buddha beads faintly exposed on her left wrist, she remembered that when she was in the East Palace, she had heard the palace people mention that the amulet asked for by the Huguo Temple to eliminate illness and pain and protect Kangning is the most effective.

At the moment, she has nothing to return the gift, so it is better to go to Huguo Temple in two days and ask for one for Chi Qingxuan, which is also considered to be dedicated.

In fact, in her previous life, she went to Huguo Temple once. After listening to the words of the palace people, she begged for one for her mother under the guise of asking for a talisman for Ning Xun.

Ning Xun never believed this, she thought he wouldn't ask at that time, so she only asked for one. But on the night he returned to the East Palace, he rarely came to her and said that he wanted her to accompany him for dinner. After the meal, she thought he would go back to the study as usual, but he not only stayed, but also brought all the unfinished affairs to her room.

He came suddenly, and the posture was not like a temporary idea, as if he was deliberately waiting for her to come back, but if he didn't take the initiative to say it, she naturally wouldn't ask.

So he sharpened the ink for him all night.

After all, he won't stay overnight at night, and he should leave after a while - the prince is not close to women as rumored, although she was left in the East Palace, there is even a side hall, and there are palace people to serve, but in terms of reputation, she can only be regarded as a dancing girl raised in the East Palace, a dancing girl who is favored by the prince.

She grinded the ink so that she had no distractions, Ning Xun glanced up at her when she looked at the things in her hand, and she didn't notice it.

Only occasionally did the two of them look at each other, and her eyes showed two points of admiration at the right time, and she was familiar with the road.

Zhichi knew that he was quiet when he watched government affairs, so he didn't say a word to him and chatted with him. For a moment, the room was eerily quiet, except for the faint sound of a pen dipping in ink.

Ning Xun glanced at her again - it was more difficult to wait for her to open her mouth than to ascend to the sky.

Zhichi rubbed his sore wrist, and just stretched it, he listened to him chatter and said lightly: "I heard the palace people say, you went to Huguo Temple these days and asked for a talisman?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and even suppressed the already flourishing Buddha several times, and he was like fire and water, so he shouldn't like to worship Buddha.

If you don't go, you won't go.

So she didn't think about it, she raised her hand and swore from Shanruliu, "I won't go in the future." ”

Ning Xun pondered for a while, and seemed to sigh, but he didn't listen to the truth, and the next moment he put down his pen and looked up at the pool, "What about the talisman?" ”

Rank Chi frowned, the amulet was on her, of course. If she really gave it to him, she was afraid that she would be burned by him—and she didn't ask for it for him.

I knew she would have asked for more.

Ning Xun was pulling the hand she had raised and swearing, and rubbed her wrist for her with her eyes down. After pondering for a moment, his eyes widened as if he had just remembered something, and he muttered to himself, "Didn't I give it to Your Highness?" ”

She withdrew her hand from Ning Xun's hand, pretended to grope around her body, and called the palace maids to ask one by one - naturally no one had seen it.

"I'm afraid I accidentally fell on the road when I came back." She looked at him with a sincere expression, with a look of annoyance that she should have when she suddenly couldn't find something that had been carefully prepared.

Ning Xun looked at her fixedly, then looked away, only faintly "um", picked up the pen and continued to look at the government affairs in his hand, but the intensity of the next pen annotation was two points heavier.

When he spoke again, he was a little nasal, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "I knelt for a long time to ask for it, how could I be so careless...... I'll look for it tomorrow. ”

"If you lose it, you lose it." Ning Xun paused, but still got up and wiped away her tears with a silk silk, but no longer looked at her sparkling eyes because she had cried and was reflecting the candlelight.

After she cried this experience, she was afraid of disturbing him, so she was silent for a long time.

But with a stick of incense, he finished reading the government affairs, got up and walked away from her.

The talisman she left behind took a lot of trouble to hand over to the Chi family who connected with her, and instructed her to bring it to her mother—now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid that the talisman will not have a chance to reach her mother's hand at all.

He lowered his eyes and hid the emotions in his eyes.

Chi Qingxuan made the bed, didn't stay any longer, just told her to have a good rest, and walked out.

After Chi Qingxuan left, the room finally fell silent.

The pond exhaled a heavy breath.

It was rare to have a chance to be alone, and she felt a little unreal at this time. In four years, the cold lake water on the wedding night was like a big dream.

She couldn't help but pinch herself, reminding herself with a dull pain in her arm that she was really alive.

Song Zhichi didn't ask for much, she didn't ask for Chi Qingyi's name, she didn't ask for the lintel of the Zhenguo Mansion, all she asked for was to live well with her mother.

As for what kind of love and love, she has watched her mother for so many years, can she still save half of her fantasy?

But she asked for the little bit, but she couldn't ask for it.

The scenes before his death are still in front of me, and if I think about it carefully, I feel exhausted.

The head was aching faintly, and he played with a hosta sent by Fang Cai Chi Qingxuan in his hand, and pressed his eyebrows with the hairpin for a while.

The things in her previous life were like a ball of hemp rope, and she couldn't even find the end of the hemp rope, let alone untie the rope and sort it out.

The hairpin head of the hosta goes from the center of the eyebrows all the way down the bridge of the nose and against the lips.

The only thing she knows is that her mother's death is inseparable from the Chi family. When he was in Jiangnan, Lang Zhong also said that half of his mother's illness was a heart knot, and the other half was slowly saved up by practicing dance in the early years, but it was not an emergency.

She was willing to send herself to the East Palace willingly, just because her father promised her that she would take good care of her mother.

But whose mind was the arrow that was shot at her?

She pondered for a long time, and the hairpin of the hosta poked her chin down, still clueless.

But fortunately, she returned to the time when she first entered Beijing, and she was not in a hurry.

You can only take one step at a time.

The pond put down the hosta and glanced at the bed - the bunks were all laid out, and it seemed unreasonable not to lie down for a while. She had been on the road for a day, and she was thinking too much, and she was really tired, so she just put her head on the porcelain pillow and fell asleep.

Her mind was too heavy, she couldn't sleep for a while, and maybe she just remembered Ning Xun, and not long after closing her eyes, she actually dreamed of him.

Ning Xun sat in the main hall of the East Palace, dressed in a golden python robe, holding the scroll with one hand, looking intently with his eyes down.

She hesitated outside the hall to go in, silently raised her foot, and withdrew it, and so on several times, and finally made up her mind—just raised her foot and had not crossed the threshold, the man in the hall raised his eyes and looked over, and his voice was lazy, but with the habit of being in the top position for a long time.

He seemed to ask casually: "Are you willing to come back?" ”

Lengchi was taken aback and stepped on the air.

With this step, he fell back to the bottom of the lake that night.

The arrow flashed in front of his eyes with a cold chill.

He woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, and woke up for a long time only to find that he was standing in front of the bed.

The man was about ten years old, and when he saw her wake up, he bowed politely, "The slave Mingyue is the personal maid that the lady personally picked for her cousin." ”

The author has something to say:

Shen Che: Since the male protagonist still only lives in dreams, you can actually consider me...

Ning Xun: She has me in her dreams, and she has me in her heart

Rank: ?

Chapter 4

◎ If you can dance a song in front of the prince, you won't worry about him leaving no one. ◎

Zhichi frowned slightly.

This bright moon, she has some impressions - she said that it was a maid for her, but in fact, she just put a pair of eyes by her side. Although Mingyue also called her a cousin, she was one of the few people who knew her background - which shows how much the county lord trusted her.

With Mingyue here, what she did that day, who she saw, what she said, and even what time she slept at night, the county lord of Ruize was clear.
