Shen Ruolian was still thinking before going to bed yesterday, it would be good if this morning's breakfast was rock sugar lotus root powder, the new imperial chef is from Hangzhou, and the lotus root powder made is delicious, but I didn't expect it to be served in the East Palace this morning.

"But is the breakfast in the East Palace so early?"

She hadn't come to the East Palace so early, to be precise, if she hadn't wanted to show her sincerity to apologize to Yan Wen, she wouldn't have even gotten up so early.

Although she always heard that the prince was diligent, she didn't expect that before dawn, he had already run out of breakfast.

She clenched her hand holding the handkerchief, thinking of Yan Wen working so hard, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him in her heart.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Xiao Shunzi speak, and when I looked up and saw him standing in place and looking at the handkerchief in his hand, Shen Ruolian was slightly stunned, and then reacted that he had delayed others again.

She smiled apologetically, and was about to step forward to return the veil to him, when the door behind her was opened from the inside again.

Shen Ruolian's eyes lit up, and she turned around excitedly, but she didn't see Yan Wen, only Li Fuan was at the door.

She paused, her smile froze on her face, the light in her eyes slowly dimmed, and she couldn't help but look towards the door, "What about Your Highness?" ”

Li Fu'an saw the handkerchief in the princess's hand at the first glance when he came out, his eyelids jumped, and he turned his head and scolded Xiao Shunzi:

"If you want to run an errand, don't you want to be lazy? Why don't you go yet?! ”

After scolding, he turned his back and waved at Xiao Shunzi quietly.

Shen Ruolian felt guilty when she heard Xiao Shunzi being scolded, and hurriedly returned the handkerchief to Xiao Shunzi, "Father-in-law Li, don't blame Xiao Shunzi, I said a few more words to him and delayed his errand." ”

Li Fuan greeted the princess at this time, smiled very gently, but did not mention the matter of Xiao Shunzi again, but asked knowingly:

"The princess came to the East Palace so early, but what's the matter? Your Highness has not yet gotten up, you tell me anything important, and I will convey it to you when Your Highness gets up. ”

The implication is that it's early in the morning, so please go back if there's nothing important.

Shen Ruolian glanced at the door that had been closed again behind Li Fuan, and stood in place with a handkerchief twisted, knowing in her heart that Li Fuan could say this, probably because Yan Wen didn't want to see her.

He hadn't even eaten breakfast, so he hadn't gotten up yet.

But what happened three days ago was that she did something wrong and made him angry, and he should not see her, and this matter was too private and difficult to speak, and she couldn't really tell Li Fuan.

Shen Ruolian stood in place for a while, and still asked without giving up, "Then when will Your Highness get up?" ”

"Ouch! That old slave can't be sure! ”

Li Fuan patted his hands, and his movements were a little exaggerated:

"Last night, His Royal Highness talked with Lord Zhang and them a little late, and they didn't stop until the end of the hour, and now His Majesty has authorized His Highness not to have to go to court early, and we can't say when His Highness will be able to get up."

Shen Ruolian bit her lip, nodded, and didn't speak again, her long eyelashes lowered and fanned gently, and there was obvious loss on her delicate face.

Li Fuan was a little unbearable, and persuaded again, "Her Royal Highness the princess will go back first, in this cold day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always loved the princess, and he must have come to see you after this busy time." ”

Shen Ruolian sucked the tip of her red nose, and after a while, she squeezed out a very reluctant smile and said to Li Fuan:

"Then trouble Father-in-law Li, it's been cold in the past two days, and it's very cold, you remember to add more clothes to Your Highness, when Your Highness talks at night, the earth dragon in the house is warmer."

In fact, there is no need for Shen Ruolian to explain, she also knows that the people in Yan Wen's palace will definitely arrange his life properly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a noble person, he is a person who pays attention to everything, and he is very humble and benevolent, and treats his subordinates politely.

Thinking of Yan Wen's good treatment of her in the past, and then remembering that three days ago, he stared at her with cold eyes that he had never seen before, Shen Ruolian's heart was sour, and the tip of his nose was also sour.

He won't ignore her again......

Shen Ruolian's eyes swelled, and mist gathered under her eyes again.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that he would cry at the gate without holding back, so she hurriedly returned the salute to Li Fuan, and didn't dare to look into the house again, turned around and went down the steps.

"Princess!"

Shen Ruolian only took two steps, and was suddenly stopped by Li Fuan.

"Don't be sad, princess, the master has been entangled in government affairs recently, and he is really busy when he thinks about it."

When Li Fuan said this, Shen Ruolian's tears that forced her back almost welled up again.

She sniffed, nodded and whispered aggrievedly:

"I know, thank you father-in-law."

It wasn't until Shen Ruolian's figure completely disappeared behind the wall that Li Fuan breathed a sigh of relief, woke up outside the door, turned around and pushed the door in.

The crown prince was still sitting in the circle chair, and the posture he saw before Li Fu'an went out with the same party had hardly changed.

Hearing the knock on the door, the prince lifted his eyelids, "Go and bring Lone's bracelet." ”

He just sat in the circle chair, and heard the girl's voice outside the room clearly, and the aggrieved tone was as if he had really bullied her.

In particular, the word "Your Highness" came out of his mouth, which was exactly the same tone he heard when he was in her room that day, and in his dreams for the past two days.

It's delicate and charming, but it's innocent and tight.

Those two words fell straight into his ears through the open branch window, making his heart go straight to the fire, and the cold bath in the morning was almost soaked.

Yan Wen took the bracelet from Li Fuan's hand, took the rosewood beads in his hand and touched them, and his heart gradually calmed down again.

When he brought Shen Ruolian back nine years ago, he just looked at her pitifully and felt compassion.

Over the years, he felt that he had to treat her well since he brought people back, and he had given her all his patience and softness, and had always treated her as his sister.

never thought that she would have such thoughts about herself.

Last year, he discussed with his father and queen mother to make her Princess Jianing, and he also noticed her thoughts, thinking that he could completely cut off her thoughts.

And she did settle down for a while, who would have thought that three days ago, in her room, she would actually ......

The prince's eyebrows jumped, and he didn't think about it anymore, but brought the bracelet back to his wrist, got up and walked out, and instructed Li Fuan:

"Inform the Ministry of Households, this year's draft will be restarted, and before the end of the year, the Lone Club will personally determine the candidate for the crown princess, and urge the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Jianing's entry into the jade as soon as possible."

Li Fuan bent down slightly behind the prince, paused imperceptibly when he heard the words, and said "yes".

When Princess Jianing entered the jade, she was going to change her surname to Yan, and she was completely regarded as the sister of Her Royal Highness.

As soon as the prince stepped out of the threshold, the steps of the person in front of him suddenly paused, Li Fuan hurriedly stopped, looked up, and saw that the prince was looking back at the bookcase in the room.

The light shone in from outside the door, hitting his jade-like side face, and there was an inscrutable emotion flowing in those deep dark eyes.

Before Li Fuan had time to study the emotion in the prince's eyes, he saw his finger hanging by his side point, groaned slightly, and suddenly ordered, "Change this book case again." ”

Li Fuan: ......

The East Palace was only renovated a few years ago.

Although the prince has always been exquisite, he is not a person of luxury, and the furnishings in this house are all brand new that were replaced years ago.

Li Fuan was puzzled in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he only lowered his eyebrows and replied "yes".

"And the carpet."

“…… Be. ”

-

Shen Ruolian came back from the East Palace, locked herself in the house alone, sat by the brazier with her knees crossed, and sneezed a few times before she was relieved.

I didn't expect the early spring morning to be so cold, but she wore her thin shirt that he praised in order to be more beautiful in front of him today, who would have thought that people would not want to come out to see her at all.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and she was so sad in her heart.

Yan Wen actually knew his mind for a long time, so he turned his head and named her a princess.

During that time, although he was still as gentle and warm to her as before, she still saw a little alienation in the depths of his eyes.

She also thought about it, forget it, he brought her back and gave her the best life in the world, how could she have such unbearable thoughts about him.

But a few days ago, she didn't understand a word in her schoolwork, and she wanted to ask him, but she unexpectedly heard him say to the queen that after she would wait for her for a few months, he would give her a family affair.

Shen Ruolian was blindsided at that time.

It wasn't until the moment she heard that she was going to marry her that she suddenly realized that she was also going to marry in the future, that she would leave the palace, that she would not be able to see him again for a long time, and that she would have to live with another strange man.

She didn't want to leave him, let alone another man, so she had the ridiculous thing she did impulsively three days ago.

Shen Ruolian thought about how she hooked up that day, and she no longer had the courage of that day, only embarrassment.

She buried her face in the crook of her elbows, her toes curled up in her embroidered shoes, and her mind became a mess, thinking that he had avoided her from that day on, and did not know what to do.

Suddenly, Shen Ruolian raised her head sharply and remembered something.

She didn't think much about it, ran to the bedside cabinet and rummaged through, picked up the two purses she found, and didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, so she got dressed and hurried out of the door.

If you have something serious to do with him, he will definitely meet her.

Shen Ruolian held her purse tightly and hurriedly walked all the way towards the Xihua Gate that Yan Wen had to pass through.

She knew that his crown princess must be dignified and virtuous, and it was best to be of good use to him.

She was too late to be dignified and virtuous, Shen Ruopian tightened the purse in her hand, and suddenly thought with some joy that she could still do it if it helped him.

As she thought so, her figure had already passed through the door of the hanging flowers.

In front is the Imperial Garden, and after the Imperial Garden, you will arrive at the Xihua Gate.

Shen Ruolian wasn't sure if he had gone to the court this morning, so he could only speed up his pace, planning to go there and guard.

She secretly warned herself in her heart that this time she saw Yan Wen to be more reserved, she couldn't do stupid things anymore, and it was better to be more dignified and steady.

Thinking like this, Shen Ruolian inadvertently raised her head, paused suddenly, and the two purses in her hand fell to the ground.

Shen Ruolian stared at a certain place in the Imperial Garden in a daze, and his cheeks, which were originally slightly red from the rapid walking, faded in an instant.

In the midst of a crowd of flowers and plants, she saw her prince's brother and Miss Sun hugging each other.

Miss Sun's arms were wrapped around his waist, his face was pressed against his chest, and his hands were on Miss Sun's shoulders.

The two of them were a little far away from her, and Shen Ruolian couldn't really see their expressions, but from a distance, they did look like a pair of talented and beautiful couples.

Sun Jingchu is the granddaughter of the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yan Wen's real childhood sweetheart, even as early as when she was just brought back by him, Miss Sun had studied with him in the study for several years.

She remembered that when she was first taken to the study by Yan Wen, she was timid and cowardly, but Miss Sun took her hand and said with a smile to several other princes and princes:

"This is the sister brought back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is, my sister, you can take care of it more in the future."

And the older princes and sons seem to have already acquiesced to what is between Sun Jingchu and His Royal Highness the Prince, and laughed and ridiculed Sun Jingchu for "obeying the orders of his sister-in-law".

Sun Jingchu's cheeks were slightly red, holding her handkerchief and scolding, even if she pretended to be angry, she maintained everyone's beautiful demeanor.

And she stood there with her fingers pulled at her, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, and she was very out of place with them.
