Shen Ruolian's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and the pain throbbed violently, and the blood froze in an instant.

It seemed to him that she was making trouble, and he called her by name and surname, and he was completely impatient with her.

He didn't even want to look at her again, she must have disappointed him......

Shen Ruolian's eyes were red, and the tears that had been hidden in her eyes could no longer be held back, and she lowered her head and silently shed tears.

Yan Wen: ......

Again.

The green tendons on the side of his neck jumped, his eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, and his eyes fell on the little girl beside him.

The little girl cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, the tip of her little nose was red, and a crystal teardrop hung on it, swaying and falling.

She didn't dare to make a sound, her two thin little shoulders twitched back and forth, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted back and forth, as if she was trying to endure it.

She has been like this since she was a child, crying one bag, and she doesn't know where so many tears came from.

Yan Wen looked at her aggrieved look, and the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant, why should he be a big man and worry about an ignorant little girl.

In the end, it is a little girl who has been pampered by himself for many years, and she is nearly ten years younger than him.

He only said that she was still young, young and ignorant, and couldn't tell the difference between liking and dependence for a while.

He also thought about it last night, and he actually blamed himself for this matter, and he didn't ask her to raise her grandmother in time and teach her some things about the boudoir.

Second, he thought about it for a while, the frequent unbearable dreams in the past few nights were not all because of her actions that day, but also because he went to the Qinglou to investigate the case the day before.

After drying her for four days, she knew that she was wrong.

She is his sister, a princess of gold and jade, others can't give her half of the grievances, and he, as a brother, can't ignore her for the rest of his life.

Shen Ruolian cried silently for a long time, and then heard a soft sigh from the man on the side, "Come to Lone." ”

Shen Ruolian lowered her head and continued to sob, but she didn't respond, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

The coldness on Yan Wen's face faded, and he was obviously a little more helpless, and softened his voice, "Jianing, come here." ”

The little girl reacted this time, but she turned her face away and twitched even more.

Yan Wen: ......

He has been set up as a prince since he was a child, engraved the self-denial and revenge in his bones, and has always been upright and dignified in his work, but when he cried in the face of the little girl, he lost his principles.

Yan Wen pinched his eyebrows and compromised, "Jiaojiao, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

She is now lost, and he guides her well.

In the previous year, he deliberately distanced himself from her, but he didn't make it clear, which caused her to do something wrong a few days ago, and it seems that this time, he must tell her clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl suddenly threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, rubbed her face into his chest, and whimpered quietly.

It seems that I have been greatly wronged.

Yan Wen: ......

"Get up and speak."

His eyes turned cold and he patted her.

Shen Ruolian nodded in his arms and let out a sullen "um".

She hadn't hugged him like this for more than a year, and since he "kicked out" him from the East Palace, he wouldn't let her get close to him anymore.

She knew she should sit up from his arms at this moment, but his firm and wide embrace made her reluctant.

Although she answered, she still rubbed in his arms with a shy face.

His voice came from above his head, a little cold, "Sit down, listen to Gu Hao, tell you, now you are mistaken-"

The carriage happened to be at the gate of the palace at this moment, and Yan Wen heard Xiao Shunzi checking the waist card with the gatekeeper.

His gaze shifted downward, and he slammed on the white back of her neck, which was exposed by the bowing of her head, and stopped in the middle of his words.

Shen Ruolian stopped moving halfway through listening to him, thinking that he was angry with himself again, so he hurriedly got up from his arms, sat up straight, and looked like he was obediently waiting to listen to the training.

As she moved, a faint sweet orange fragrance emanated from her body.

Yan Wen quietly opened a corner of the car curtain on the side, and continued as usual:

"Now that you're young, it's understandable that something has gone wrong, but I hope you know that you will see a wider world in the future."

Pause:

"I'll see more good men, too."

Shen Ruolian had already stopped crying, and when she heard this, she raised her head to look at him, her eyes were as red as rabbits, she twitched the tip of her nose pitifully, and her voice was soft and glutinous with a nasal voice, "But I just want to be with Your Highness." ”

Yan Wen: "You should call Brother Lonely." ”

Shen Ruo called softly: "Brother Prince." ”

Yan Wen: "......"

Forget it, let it be.

He took the handkerchief in Shen Ruolian's hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

Shen Ruolian lifted her eyelids slightly and looked into his eyes carefully.

The action of wiping her tears for her was clear and gentle, but there was only a trace of imperceptible alienation in those deep inky eyes.

Just like him, he always gives her the illusion of warmth and softness, and after sprinkling a handful of moonlight into her heart, he makes her soberly see that the bright moon is still hanging high in the unreachable sky.

And she could only embrace the cold moonlight in the long silent night.

Yan Wen's voice sounded again:

"The imperial brother can only be your imperial brother, and it will also be your lifelong relatives and dependents. In half a year, you will be in time, Lone has already seen a few sons for you with his mother, how about Jianing to choose by himself? ”

Shen Ruolian lowered her head and didn't speak again.

Yan Wen's fingertips touched a little clammy cold on the handkerchief, and the cold touch spread along the lines on the fingertips to the entire palm.

His eyes were clear and calm, without a trace of waves, and he said:

"Pei Ci'an, the youngest son of Pei Shangshu's family, it's good to look at alone, his character is valuable, his family background is illustrious, if there is a chance, he will arrange for you to meet in advance."

"You are Lone's sister, whoever you marry in the future, Lone will not let anyone bully you."

Shen Ruolian lowered her head and remained silent.

She didn't speak, Yan Wen didn't say either, as a brother, it was inconvenient for him to say more.

He thought that if he made it clear to her like this, she would understand, and even if it was difficult to accept it at the moment, she would slowly figure it out later.

When he returned to the palace, he asked the queen mother to talk to her.

In the second half of this year, her concubine is decided, and his crown princess is also decided, and everything will naturally return to the right track.

Yan Wen's gaze turned around Shen Ruolian and landed on the small shelf on the couch.

On that shelf, there are several classics and statecraft neatly stacked, word by word, all of which are established rules.

He will not fall in love with any girl in his life, and his marriage is a means for the purpose of interests and involving the family.

The crown princess he selected not only needs to be dignified and stable, and can take care of the harem for him, but also needs to have the heart and insight of the mother.

In short, it can never be Shen Ruolian, who he has always regarded as his own sister.

Thinking like this, Yan Wen's gaze fell back on Shen Ruolian, seeing that she lowered her head and didn't make a sound, gently rubbing her fingertips, his Adam's apple rolled down, and said lightly:

"How did you hurt your finger?"

Shen Ruolian made a move, and a sense of depression surged up in her heart, and she said in her heart, just pretend.

She hid her hands and shook her head, "I accidentally pricked it when embroidering the purse, and it didn't get in the way." ”

Yan Wen subconsciously touched the purse on his waist, which was a little old, and the touch became softer and softer.

He was silent for a while, and then said slowly:

"Lonely's purse is still usable, you don't have to rush for a while, be careful not to get hurt again."

Shen Ruolian didn't speak.

He thought she had been embroidering a purse for him recently.

She learned to make a purse from her, and she made his purse for him every year, but in fact, she had no plans to make a purse for him this year.

After a long time, Shen Ruolian bit her lip, and suddenly plucked up the courage to look up at him, "I want to move back to the East Palace." ”

Not surprisingly, she saw the man's brows on the other side twist slightly, and his voice was colder than Fang Cai, "Jianing, you are about to get married." ”

"The East Palace will also have its due hostess."

After Yan Wen said these words, Shen Ruolian stopped talking, and the air fell silent again for a while.

After another quarter of an hour, in order not to mobilize the people, the carriage stopped at the back gate of Bai Mansion on a detour, and Bai Yuewei was already waiting at the door.

The prince gave her a routine explanation, and then let her go.

Shen Ruolian got out of the carriage and was a little absent-minded.

"What do you think?"

Bai Yuewei bumped her elbow into her, "I'll get everything ready, and we'll sneak out when the prince's cousin's carriage is far away!" ”

Shen Ruolian looked back and saw that her face was full of obvious excitement, and a little uncertainty suddenly arose in her heart, and Yan Wen's words lingered in her ears for a long time.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered:

"Otherwise, forget it."

She was so scared that he would ignore her again.

He was in the carriage, and though he was as distant from her as he was from the rest of the year, he was at least willing to coax her.

As soon as he coaxed her, her brain was confused.

She knew that it was like drinking to quench her thirst, but after a few days of avoiding her, she now felt that as long as he was willing to coax her, it was actually good to be a brother and sister.

"The little son of the Pei family ......"

Shen Ruolian looked at Bai Yuewei, her eyes darkened slightly, "Have you seen what he looks like?" ”

Bai Yuewei: ......

"It's only been a day, and you've changed your mind?"

She looked at Shen Ruolian's gloomy and lost look, and was so angry that she fanned her face with her hand, and said angrily:

"Everyone else can be the crown princess, why can't you have a relationship with the prince's cousin for nearly ten years? The little son of the Pei family? I heard that the face is like black charcoal, the top of the head has sores, the soles of the feet are pus, and the mouth is yellow when he opens his mouth to speak, which is extremely ugly! Are you sure you want to live with such a person for the rest of your life? ”

Shen Ruolian's eyes widened as Bai Yuewei's words widened, revealing fear in her eyes.

Bai Yuewei was satisfied to see that her face was slightly pale, so she took her hand and continued to persuade:

"Let's go! Anyway, we're ready, let's go check it out! Besides, you've only tried it once, maybe the prince's cousin has some ideas for you, you do it again, won't it! ”

Seeing that she shouldn't, Bai Yuewei said again:

"Isn't the worst outcome still being married to someone else?"

Shen Ruolian was already a soft ear, after thinking about it, she felt that what she said seemed to make sense, now it is the worst result, how bad can it be, why not fight again.

And when she thought of the appearance of the little son of the Pei family that she said just now, Shen Ruolian couldn't help but feel excited, this kind of person can't say that he is married, even if he sees it on the road, he can be scared to death by him.

Thinking about it like this, coupled with Bai Yuewei fanning the flames on the side, Shen Ruolian thought about it and finally made up her mind.

"That'...... Let's go. ”
