At night, lightning and thunder roared, and the sky was like a torn brocade, full of devastation. I sat on the kang, staring at the stained glass window, and refused to speak for a long time. Ah Xing obediently sat at the small table to eat late, although she was young, she could also feel the unusual atmosphere. After eating the egg noodle soup and cleaning his face, Ah Xing took a white lotus and presented it to me, and said with a smile: "Eniang, is it good-looking?" ”

As if I didn't hear it, I just looked out the window. The rain was pouring down, and the water on the eaves was pouring in, and my mind was pulled far, far away, thinking of the dead Igge, thinking of Wu Gege who lived in the outer house, and the side Fujin in the side courtyard, and Ailian, I bumped into Fourteen to this day, and it is still inevitable that he married for the sake of politics.

If we talk about marriage, even if it is my marriage with him, it cannot be said that there is not the slightest political factor.

Ah Xing shook my arm, I suddenly came back to my senses, and she said, "Eniang, is the lotus flower picked by Ah Xing good-looking?" Ah, it's raining so hard, Ama has to be drenched when he comes back" I tried hard to restrain my emotions, and said calmly: "You have to go to class tomorrow, rest early" Ah Xing shook his head, and said in a childish voice: "I'm going to wait for Ama to come back, yesterday Ama said that he would teach me to do arithmetic problems tonight." ”

I said coldly: "Ama has something, he won't come at night, go and rest." ”

Seeing that my face was not good, Ah Xing was afraid, and said stupidly: "Okay." "Minqiu asked Mama to take Ah Xing, and I still sat in a daze for a while before I got up and went back to the bedroom to rest. I chased Fourteen away because I didn't know what to do with him. But I'm not worried at all that he's going to go to the side Fujin house, and if he doesn't care about my emotions, then he's not my fourteenth either.

The rain became heavier and heavier, crackling, like firecrackers. I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, the weather was clear, the morning sun was scattered all over the courtyard, Minqiu stared at the minions sweeping the flowers and flowing water, I dressed early, looked at the pillars, and the heavy melancholy enveloped me, making me depressed and uncomfortable. Fourteen was somehow still at home, and he walked across the courtyard with his hands behind his back. As soon as I saw him, I instinctively wanted to avoid it, so I turned around and entered the flower hall. Fourteen's smile froze, and then he entered, pretending to be relaxed: "I went to the palace to rush back, my stomach is really hungry, have you eaten breakfast?" ”

Anger is anger, but it can't make him hungry.

Minqiu set a table for meals, and he didn't move anything else, just a bowl of beef noodles, a few chopsticks and chutney pickles, and happily ate two bowls of soup. Men and women are really different, I haven't even drunk a sip of water from last night to today, he is good, he eats deliciously, and almost swallows the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing that I was making a pestle, Fourteen scooped a spoonful of red japonica rice porridge and handed it to my mouth, saying, "I'm not worried about the side, I'm afraid that you won't eat or sleep." If you want to beat and scold, you have to eat and sleep well to have strength. I tilted my face and said coldly, "I'm not hungry." ”

Fourteen called: "Vivi"

I didn't look at him, his eyes drifted into the distance, and he begged in a good voice: "Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will try my best to pick it off for you, but this time, can you do it from me once?" I snorted coldly and said, "From you? Do I have a choice? If you want to get married, you can get married, is it possible, I still want to congratulate you happily? After a pause, he said: "Tell you, Yinzhen, you want me to live in harmony with them, never in this life!" Not! Can! Yes! At the end, he said cruelly: "Either you will marry the young lady of the Tong family and don't think about being happy with me for the rest of your life, or you will push off this marriage and forget about it." I don't believe it, you have to marry to stabilize your position in the court, can you not use such a dirty and indiscriminate trick? ”

I was so carried away by the anger that I didn't leave the slightest room to speak, and I was stunned when I spoke. But what I say is the water that is spilled, and besides, this is what I really think in my heart. I held my face high and said, "You should also think about why I am angry." Fourteen threw the porridge spoon in his hand and shouted: "If you don't eat it, forget it, don't take an inch!" Look at it, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the eighth brother, the ninth brother, who doesn't have a few qualifications? What's more, it's the Emperor's Ama's edict, you are embarrassing me! ”

He was a little impatient, so he persuaded me twice, and he became impatient.

His hairy boy's temperament came out again, and I said angrily: "Okay, good, you can do whatever you like, anyway, I can't control you, you are the prince, you are Baylor, my net worth, life, honor, favor and kindness are all tied to you alone, yes, I shouldn't embarrass you, I admit it, I obey, okay, you leave now, I don't want to see you again!" ”

Fourteen raised his eyebrows, his voice suddenly weakened, and muttered: "This is my mansion, why should you tell me to leave?" ”

To deal with this kind of hairy boy, you must completely suppress him in arrogance.

He sat more and more steadily, I stomped my foot, and said, "Okay, if you don't go, then I'll go." "Really, I didn't take anything, and I don't have to pretend to pack my baggage, anyway, when I go back to Wanyan Mansion, I want what I want. I lifted the curtain and ran out, and the sewage on the ground flowed sideways, and I stepped on it deeply and shallowly, letting my shoes and socks get soaked and the hem of my skirt stained with mud. I don't know if Fourteen chased it out, but I felt that my blood was surging, my brain was blank, my heart was full of heat, and I rushed forward with all my strength, almost burning myself. I went straight to the stable, thinking that I was going to ride a horse, and get out of here as soon as possible, and I didn't know where I was going, so I wanted to run away, go away, and run away. I had never been to the stable, and when the servants saw me, they told me that they had done something wrong and were half bluffed to death.

I only knew Anan, so I commanded her, "Bring me a horse!" ”

Anan was stunned and said, "Fujin, where are you going?" It's better to let the minions prepare a carriage to send it."

I completely lost my mind and said, "Tell you to lead the horse, you just lead the horse?" What are you doing with so much nonsense? Anan hesitated for a moment, and Fang said solemnly: "Yes." "But after a while, Anan brought the horse, and I was going to ride out of the house, and I was about to turn over, when Fourteen's reprimand came, and said, "Have you forgotten that you almost broke your leg in the paddock last time?" Anan, take the horses away! ”

Anan didn't know what was going on, but she obeyed the Fourteen Words and was about to snatch the reins from my hand. I refused, held it tightly, and said to the fourteenth: "If the leg is broken, it will be broken, and it will hurt me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

He strode forward and hugged me to the ground, and Anan took advantage of my distraction and snatched the reins. I hurriedly said: "I want to go back to Yan Mansion, don't stop me!" Fourteen took me in his arms and said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission." I snorted and said, "You're wrong, you can go wherever I want, you don't need anyone's permission." ”

I was busy arguing with Fourteen in the open space in front of the stable, and I didn't know that one of the horses in the fence was frightened, and ran out like crazy, and when we came back to our senses, the fierce horse was close in front of me, and I didn't have time to scream, and Fourteen carried me to the side and hid, and I was fine, but Fourteen's back was whipped by the horse's tail, and the two of them stood unsteadily, and rolled on the ground together.

There were screams all around, Anan rushed forward, knelt directly on the ground and cried: "Master, are you okay?" Fourteen was originally pressed against me, and he stood up quickly and said with concern: "Weiwei, do you hurt?" Hurt your back? "My back did hurt, but it wasn't because I twisted it, but I was lying on the stones, and it hurt.

I said, "How are you?" Did the horse's hooves kick you? ”

Fourteen helped me up and said, "I was flicked on the back by the horse's tail, and it was fine." He sighed again: "It's okay if you're okay." Anan was already crying profusely, Fourteen glanced at her, and couldn't help laughing: "How do you look like a girl?" Anan wiped away his tears with his hands and sobbed: "The slave has lost his honor, please forgive the master." I got mud on my body, and Fourteen patted the dust for me, stroked my shirt, and said, "Let's go back to the house and have a good conversation, okay?" ”

At this time, I was half angry, but I still refused to step down, and said, "If I can't get along, I still have to leave." ”

Fourteen took my hand, and I didn't shake it off, and slowly paced back to the courtyard. Due to the overnight rain, the branches and flowers were covered with rolling water droplets. The sun is bright but not strong, the white thorns shine on the earth, the wind blows, and the petals fly all over the sky. It is rare for us to encounter a rain of petals, and our mood gradually becomes gentle and peaceful. Fourteen: "How long has it been since we walked hand in hand?" I said, "You're so busy, how can you have time to spend with me?" After a pause, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really, really want to be the crown prince?" ”

If there is a chance, I still want to advise him to give up, not only because he is not the opponent of the fourth master, but also because I don't want to compete with a lot of show girls for her husband in the future. I wish he belonged to me alone.

Fourteen was so frank that I didn't know how to answer for a while.

He didn't answer, and I was silent.

Ah Xing left school at noon, and on the road he bumped into me and Fourteen holding hands and going back to the house, and broke free from my grandmother from a distance, stretched out my calves and pounced. I opened my arms to catch her, but she threw herself into Fourteen's arms and said coquettishly, "Amma, what did you do yesterday?" No one taught me arithmetic, and the old master said he would punish me. Fourteen Tian said shamelessly: "E-niang doesn't like Ama anymore, and won't let Ama go back to the yard." Ah Xing glanced at me and said, "It's okay, and Ah Xing likes Amma." ”

Dare to love is the meaning of no mother, life without pressure.

After entering the house, Fourteen sat on the kang to teach Ah Xing to do arithmetic, and had dinner, coaxed Ah Xing to take a nap, and the two of us had a chance to speak. I asked, "Do you really want to be the crown prince?" Fourteen was inspecting Ah Xing's crooked and tadpole-like homework, and said casually: "Whether I want to or not, the current situation is like this." After a pause, he added, "No one doesn't want to." ”

Although I knew the answer for a long time, I was still taken aback to hear him say it with my own ears.
