The spring flowers are gorgeous, and the room is full of fragrance.

The sunlight shines through the light silk veil, softly sprinkling on the slender back of the girl's neck, making the already white skin more dazzling.

The girl was half-lying on the table, her round and small toes stretched on the floor covered with a thin blanket, and her delicate nails were painted with red kodan.

The rose-red cigarette skirt hung around her waist, and a large bony hand slowly covered her back.

The green silk is like a waterfall, covering the smooth and graceful curve of her back.

Suddenly, her jaw jerked up, and the green silk slid down, and the girl looked back at him standing behind her.

Her face turned with peach cheeks and spring, and her eyes were blurry, as if people were reminded of the misty landscape paintings in the south of the Yangtze River through her misty eyes.

A few broken tears hung on her long eyelashes, reflecting a touch of red at the end of her eyes, revealing a little different fragility.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase have long been swept to the ground, and only a Boshan furnace is a little farther away.

The green smoke in the furnace, which had been straight up, was bent and scattered by the shaking air, exuding bursts of sweet and enticing aroma.

After a long time, the man finally heard the girl crying and begging for mercy, "Your Highness."

"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"

The urging sound rang in my ears all at once.

Yan Wen opened his eyes suddenly, and his heart was beating fast in his chest.

The azure silver moire curtain above his head shook slightly, and the hook hit the bed rail, making a subtle crisp sound, and quickly calmed down.

The sky is only faintly white, the interior is a cold white dark color, and the cold wind outside the window taps on the window lattice.

It's very different from the warm fragrance in Fang Cai's dream.

Yan Wen raised the back of his hand and put it on his eyelids, his Adam's apple slid up and down a few times, and a little irritability rarely appeared on his face.

It's been three days in a row, and it's such an absurd dream again.

It's like I'm under a spell.

The dream of Bisheng was still very real, and it always disturbed him.

After lying quietly for a while, Yan Wen got up, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and gently pinched his eyebrows a few times, his voice was a little hoarse, "prepare water."

Li Fu'an, the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side, let out a low "eh", hurriedly retreated and ordered Xiao Shunzi to prepare water.

Before going out, Li Fuan hesitated a little and opened a crack in the branch window outside.

The cold air diluted the smell of the room.

His Royal Highness made the crown ceremony four years ago, but the crown princess has not been decided, and His Majesty has given His Royal Highness a deadline to select the crown princess before His Royal Highness's birthday next year.

After the Lantern Festival in the palace this year, the queen mother and Her Majesty both openly and secretly sent people to His Royal Highness's room, thinking that His Royal Highness would be able to communicate with him early before the wedding.

But no matter what the girl sent over looked like and family affairs, she was prevaricated by His Royal Highness with his busy political affairs.

His Highness is now restless and seems to be ...... It started after coming out of Princess Jianing's room three days ago.

Li Fuan remembered that when the prince came out of the princess's room that day, although there was a always warm smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were extremely cold, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited.

didn't dare to think deeply, he straightened his face, waved his hand and beckoned Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting under the porch, and explained to him in a low voice.

Yan Wen listened to the deliberately lowered voice outside, only feeling impetuous, and he hadn't rested well for three days, which made his temples a little dull pain.

He leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply and quietly, the cold air pouring in from the outside window into his nostrils.

After a while, Yan Wen slowly opened his eyes, and his face returned to normal.

He picked up the handkerchief beside his pillow, wiped it casually, and got up to pour himself a cup of tea.

The cold touch of the white porcelain teacup slowly penetrated into his skin along the palm of his hand, which suppressed the last trace of residual heat in his body.

After rubbing his fingertips on the rim of the cup for a moment, he drank the herbal tea in his hand.

He turned and went into the room.

-

Li Fuan came in to clean up the prince's bedroom, saw a silk handkerchief thrown on the ground, looked at him, stepped forward to pick it up and put it away alone.

When I turned my eyes, I saw the cup on the table that was still hidden with tea stains, and my face suddenly froze.

His Royal Highness has always been very particular about his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he has to change the tea that has been brewed three times on weekdays to new tea.

However, this time, His Royal Highness didn't even pay attention to these things, which shows that he was completely confused by the dream.

Li Fuan secretly scolded himself for being stupid, why didn't he know to prepare tea in advance.

picked up the teapot and was about to go out to make tea again, but when he thought of the master he had met when he went out, his heart jumped again, and the steps he took back were retracted.

Before he could figure out how to talk to the prince, the sound of water in the room had stopped.

“……”

Li Fuan's neck stiffened, and he hurriedly stuffed the dirty clothes and the handkerchief to Xiao Shunzi.

After repeatedly telling him that he had to wash the handkerchief himself, not to let others see it, especially not to let the princess Jianing who was waiting outside the door see it, he picked up the clean clothes he had prepared and hurried into the room.

Waiting for the prince to change his clothes.

Yan Wen stood in front of a one-person-high bronze mirror, with a golden crown and a high bundle, dressed in a bright yellow four-clawed python robe, and a leather belt of the same color around his waist restrained his long and straight figure, which made him more noble and dignified, gentle and elegant.

At this moment, Yan Wen raised his chin slightly, and Li Fuan carefully looked at his expression while arranging his neckline for him.

After being looked at with such hesitant gaze a few times, Yan Wen's thin eyelids were gently pressed down, and his thin lips were upturned with an upturned arc, and Wen Sheng asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

The voice is clear and gentle, like warm jade.

Li Fu'an made a movement in his hand, smoothed the folds of the prince's waist, and then took two steps back as much as possible, "When the old slave just went out, ......"

He paused, peeked at the prince's expression again, and saw that there was no impatience on his face, but looked at himself with a gentle face, quietly waiting for the following.

There was a warm smile in his eyes as if he was encouraging.

Li Fuxin relieved slightly, and re-spoke, "When the old slave just went out, he saw Princess Jianing waiting at the door, and said that he would compens......ate His Royal Highness."

"Nope."

Two cold and crisp words.

With a hint of impatience.

Li Fuan: ......

-

The sky gradually brightened, and there were some noises around one after another, and the palace people began to busy their own affairs lightly.

The early spring morning was already cold, and it rained overnight last night, and although the rain stopped at dawn, the air was mixed with a damp chill.

Shen Ruolian stomped her feet, shrunk her little face under the cloak, and sucked the tip of her red nose, revealing only a pair of apricot round eyes that were dripping back and forth.

Her curled eyelashes were still stained with fine droplets of shiny water, fanning gently as her eyes rolled.

As soon as he looked away from the eunuch who was standing under the porch and picking up the palace lamp, the door in front of him opened.

What came out was Xiao Shunzi holding a stack of clothes.

She stepped forward and greeted him with a smile, her voice crisp and pleasant, "Father-in-law Shun is early." ”

If it was in normal times, Xiao Shunzi would definitely greet her with a smile and say, "Princess, morning." ”

Who expected him to be very abnormal today.

Shen Ruolian saw that he was obviously flustered when he heard his voice, and his eyes didn't dare to look at her, so he lowered his head and hurriedly greeted her and wanted to leave.

She thought that she had annoyed Yan Wen that day, and she didn't even want to pay attention to her with Xiao Shunzi, and she was a little disappointed in her heart.

Remembering that Yan Wen had not said a word to her for three days, Shen Ruolian wanted to be close to Xiao Shunzi, so she stopped him before he walked past him, pointed to the clothes in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Is Father-in-law Shun going to send clothes to the Huanyi Bureau for His Royal Highness?"

Although she was named Princess Jianing a while ago, she is still used to calling His Royal Highness Yan Wen.

Xiao Shunzi tugged at the corners of her lips and said:

"Yes, yes...... After the clothes are delivered, the slave has other errands to do, which will not disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

After saying that, I have to raise my feet again.

Shen Ruopian looked at him like this, and became more and more sure in her heart that it was Yan Wen who would not let them talk to her again.

But she was kind-hearted, and when she heard him say this, she didn't want to embarrass him, she just waved her hand at him, and her tone sounded a little lost, "Then go to Father-in-law Shun, it's not good to delay the errand." ”

Shen Ruolian loves to laugh very much on weekdays, and when she laughs, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, revealing two small tiger teeth, especially the two small dimples next to her cheeks look particularly cute.

In the past, Xiao Shunzi liked to talk to this master a few more words, and always felt that when she laughed, the wind was sweet.

But today, he received the master's instructions, and he never dared to go wrong, and only wanted to find a place where no one was there to wash the veil as soon as possible.

After getting Princess Jianing's words, Xiao Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief, saluted her again, and hurriedly walked down the steps again.

Just took two steps, the princess's voice suddenly sounded behind him again:

"Huh? Father-in-law Shun, His Royal Highness's handkerchief fell ......"

Xiaoshunzi: ......

Xiao Shunzi stumbled under his feet and almost rolled down the steps.

It was only when the chill that suddenly rushed to his scalp gradually subsided that he stiffened and slowly turned around.

Princess Jianing, who was wearing a lotus pink skirt and a pink cloak, was standing on the steps at the moment, and the morning breeze gently blew the hem of her skirt and hair.

The princess's white fingers pinched the handkerchief, and her fingertips, which were a little red from the wind, twisted the things on the handkerchief, and her eyes were full of curiosity, "What is this?" ”

Before Xiao Shunzi could speak, she muttered again:

"Your Highness, this is ......"

Her clear tail note dragged on for a long time, Xiao Shunzi's back became more and more stiff, and her heart was at the extreme, and she heard the soft and clear voice with doubts:

"Did you drink rock sugar lotus root powder this morning?"
