Rui Wangfu study.

When Yu fell in, he saw that Shen Li did not practice calligraphy as usual, but sat there as if he had fallen into some kind of inexplicable thought. Because he rarely saw the appearance of the prince, he coughed softly with great interest, and when he saw Shen Li looking up at him, he said respectfully: "Master, the people sent to pick up the princess have all been sent back by the seventh prince." ”

Shen Li frowned slightly, and pinched his eyebrows a little irritably. After a while, he sighed softly, revealing countless helplessness.

"My seventh brother has been stubborn since he was a child, and he will not give up easily when he recognizes something. His father once said that there are pros and cons to his temperament. The advantage is to know how to persevere. The downside is that it's too insistent. However, he was born blessed, and from childhood to adulthood, there was always someone to protect him. Of course, that includes me. If you're not afraid of your jokes, if he takes a fancy to me and other concubines today, I'll give it to him without saying a word. But...... Mu Yan can't do it!"

Yuluo has been by Shen Li's side for more than ten years, and he dares to say a word, which can be regarded as Shen Li's only confidant. As Shen Li's personal guard, he takes protecting his life as his first mission. But who is the third prince of Shen San, who is a general? He is smart and calm, and his strategy is profound, and it is difficult for people to calculate. So over the years, Yu Luo has been more than dancing knives and guns, but often running errands for Shen Li, inquiring about news and listening to him talk about his thoughts.

For Mu Yan, he is clear. Shen Li's first two marriages were forced to obey his fate. Although he is pure-hearted and has few desires, he doesn't care who he marries, but everything has a degree. The so-called thing is only three, and with the identity of the Mu family, Mu Yan can only be said to be a bitter life, and he hit the muzzle.

Judging from Shen Li's performance of marrying a concubine and humiliating her on the wedding night, he knew that his master hated this girl very much. He thought that Mu Yan's fate in the future would be to spend the rest of his life in another courtyard. But who would have thought that the world would make people, the girl who has always been delicate and willful, tricky and unreasonable, has changed her personality greatly. Not to mention the witty and indifferent temperament, it is also quite eye-catching.

He was sent to monitor Mu Yan and report to Shen Li every day. At first, he was calm and casually responded, but as the days went by, he obviously saw different colors in the eyes of his master. This state of affairs lasted until the appearance of the Seven Princes.

Although the seventh prince and the third prince are brothers, their temperament is very different. One is cold and withdrawn, and the other is chic and hearty. One is silent and convergent, and the other dares to love and hate. Therefore, the seventh prince fell in love with Mu Yan, but anyone with a clear eye can know it at a glance. Originally, as long as he wanted, the three princes would give it to him. However, only Mu Yan can't.

He, the secret guard, knew the reason, but in addition to that reason, he seemed to see another layer of reason.

"Master, when I came back, I saw the Seventh Prince going out with the princess. Today is the Lantern Festival, so I think they should go out to enjoy the lanterns. There are many people on the street, and it is not difficult to invite the princess back. ”

Interrupting his thoughts, Feather fell in return. As a subordinate, he has no right to ask about his master's affairs. For whatever reason, he just had to do what he was told. The master said that Mu Yan couldn't let it, so he couldn't let it. With just one command, he can bring people back.

Shen Li pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up. I saw him walking out with his hands in his hands, and Yuluo just wanted to follow, but he stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to follow. ”

"Yes!"

The most prosperous street in the capital, when Mu Yan and Shen Yan went there, they were already crowded, shouting, selling, and noisy. Except for the hawkers who took the opportunity to sell some gadgets to make money, the rest of the people on the street were wearing masks, and for a while, no one recognized anyone.

Speaking of which, Mu Yan has never been out since he came here. At this time, when I saw the lively scene, I was immediately overjoyed. After all, the girl's house is the girl's house, and she is calm and calm on weekdays, and she always has a curiosity.

"Xiao Qi, accompany me to buy masks!"

Mu Yan tugged at Shen Yan's sleeve, and under his puzzled eyes, he explained in a low voice: "Stupid! There are so many people here, wouldn't calling your name reveal your identity? Aren't you the seventh in line, let's call you Xiaoqi now." ”

When Shen Yan heard this explanation, he immediately burst into laughter. Thinking that Mu Yan called his name all day long, instead of the Seventh Prince, this made him very happy, but now he changed his words to Xiao Qi, and instantly seemed to be a little closer again. Just thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more I think the title "Little Seven" is really good!

"Okay, you can call me Xiaoqi in the future. I'm not going to call you by name anymore, huh...... I'll just call you wood!"

Mu Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself that according to normal thinking, shouldn't she call Yan'er or Ah Yan? Why is this Shen Shao's thinking so different from ordinary people?

But thinking about it, she is in a good mood now, and if Shen Yan really calls her Yan'er, this relationship may be even more complicated. "Wood" or not, anyway, her surname is Mu, and this nickname is appropriate.

"Well, wood is wood. ”

Mu Yan nodded, and took Shen Yan to the vendor on the side to choose a new mask. In order to be afraid that Shen Yan would see what the mask looked like, she also deliberately asked Shen Yan to turn her back to her, and she muttered to the vendor for a long time.

Shen Yan is in a good mood and depends on her in everything. In his opinion, although Mu Yan did not explicitly accept him, the relationship between the two was obviously close. He thought, the third brother doesn't care about it first, if Mu Yan agreed to him before the third brother came to pick him up in person, then even if he made trouble on his father's side, even if he lost everything, he wouldn't let go!

Thinking that he could be with his beloved woman in the future, Shen Yan grinned stupidly. The mask-selling vendor reached out and patted him on the back from behind, and when he saw his stupid appearance, he couldn't help but say kindly: "This boy, are you still smiling? ”

"Huh?"

Shen Yan was stunned, and looked in the direction pointed by the vendor, and sure enough, the man in white had already run away. He screamed, and was about to take a step to chase after him, but was stopped by the peddler.

"Childe, I haven't paid for the mask yet. ”

“......”

Shen Yan was very anxious, and casually threw a gold ingot over. Unexpectedly, the hawker still tugged at his sleeve. This time he was so anxious that he immediately glared at him. But the hawker was not angry or annoyed, but smiled and said, "This son, don't worry. The girl asked me to send you a message, and she said that if you can find her tonight and take off her mask, she will promise you. The ends of the earth, no matter where they are, will go with you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan's mind went blank for a moment. But soon he came to his senses, and threw another ingot of gold to the peddler. couldn't stop the smile on the corner of his mouth, and chased after the white figure that was about to disappear.
