At the beginning of summer, the summer heat inadvertently rises and falls at night, people are not very active, and they feel sweaty after walking two more steps, and the people in the palace have already put on tulle clothes early, and locked the silk silk at the bottom of the box.

Chenxiang was drenched in the rain, and she had just drunk a bowl of hot ginger soup, she was already sweating, and sat by the window to enjoy the coolness.

When Bao Xi entered the door, she saw that she was drying herself by the window to blow the wind, and she couldn't help but be anxious, so she took a thin silk cloak and draped it over her.

Chenxiang was too hot, so she tore off her cloak and said with a smile: "I was already sweating yesterday, and my body is much lighter." ”

Bao Xi flattened her mouth and said, "The fever only subsided yesterday, so the princess still has to be careful." Beware of being stirred by the wind, and the night will be uncomfortable. ”

"Not so squeamish. Chen Xiang pointed to the half-short bamboo stool in front of him and said, "Don't be busy, sit down, this princess has something to ask you." ”

Bao Xi nodded and sat down: "What does the princess want to ask?"

Chen Xiang glanced at her: "Yesterday I asked you to go to Zichen Palace to intercede, but the queen didn't ask you to come back?"

Bao Xi nodded: "The slave maid originally wanted to send a letter to the princess, but the queen asked Ling'er to pull the slave and maid and not let her go." What else do you say, two people who are in the same trouble can go for a long time. ”

"Gone for a long time?" Chen Xiang's eyes widened: "The queen is saying that this princess and Wei Chengyong can still have a future?"

"The slave doesn't know this. Bao Xi shook her head and looked at Chen Xiang innocently: "But the slave maid listens to the queen's meaning, she still wants to marry the princess to the eldest young master." In fact, the slave also knew that the princess couldn't let go of the eldest young master in her heart, even if he broke the princess's heart, the princess still liked him. ”

"What's the matter? He doesn't look down on me, what he likes in his heart is Lanyu. Even if I like him no matter how much I like him, I can't stick it up without face or skin?" Chen Xiang's fingertips played between a plate of hazelnuts for a while: "He can't even pass the fame test now because of me." If I let others know, won't I say that I have hurt him?"

In fact, Bao Xi didn't know whether this helped her or hurt her. She just felt that Princess Chenxiang liked the eldest young master, so she tried her best to match, hoping that one day, the eldest young master would also like the princess. But the old cow doesn't drink water, how can he force his head? Cheng Yong's mind is uncertain, and it is not something that Bao Xi can control.

"The princess didn't harm the eldest young master, but the eldest young master himself couldn't figure it out. Bao Xi said, sighing.

"Have you seen Miss Lanyu?" asked Chen Xiang as she picked up a hazelnut and pinched it on her fingertips.

Bao Xi shook her head: "The slave maid entered the mansion late, and I haven't seen Miss Lanyu." I just heard Sister Ling'er say that Miss Lan was born beautiful, has a gentle temperament, and likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is very compatible with the eldest young master. ”

"Then they should often be together, talking about poetry and writing under the moon, right?" Chen Xiang stared blankly at a corner, and didn't even notice that the hazelnut on her fingertips had landed: "Their relationship is so good, but they were ruined by Shengsheng and me." Yesterday in the rain, I told him all the things I had to say, and this was the first and last time I had ever said this to him. ”

"Actually......" Bao Xi stopped talking.

"Actually, what?" asked Miyaka indifferently.

"Actually, the eldest young master and Miss Lan Yu didn't spend the moon and talk about poetry. Listening to Sister Ling'er, the two of them have always gathered less and left more, and they can't say a few words. What's more, they don't see each other once a year. At that time, the relationship between the Lan family and the Wei Mansion was very tense, and Miss Lan only occasionally asked the second lady to bring some things to the eldest young master. In terms of the number of times they meet, they don't see as much as the princess and the eldest young master. ”

Chen Xiang sighed, even if Cheng Yong couldn't see Lan Yu, his heart was still full of Lan Yu, even if he could see Cheng Yong every day, he still wouldn't love himself more.

Sometimes, Chen Xiang sympathizes with Zhao Kezhen. What is the difference between Zhao Kezhen's situation and herself? Watching the man she loves deeply and another person fall in love with another person every day, her situation may be more painful than herself, but in order not to let herself suffer, she chose to hurt the person who made her suffer. And he would rather be drowned in this pain little by little, than hurt Wei Chengyong for half a point.

In fact, she is more pitiful than Zhao Kezhen and more painful than Zhao Kezhen. Zhao Kezhen didn't go against the grain, she resisted, although she couldn't do it, but she at least made the person who caused her pain pay the price. She at least became the wife of the person she loved, and although the person she loved never touched her until she died, she at least had a name.

Zhao Kezhen took revenge on the emperor and got nothing in the end. I was obedient and waited silently for Cheng Yong, but in the end, I didn't get anything. In fact, she, like Zhao Kezhen, are two poor women. Zhao Kezhen once insulted Wei Chengyong in front of her as a despicable villain, probably in Zhao Kezhen's heart, the emperor and Wei Chengyong are both despicable villains. They ignore a woman's love and never give them a chance to express their love.

"Princess...... What are you thinking?" Bao Xi stared at Chenxiang, she has always been like this lately, looking at a corner alone, lost and depressed, people are distressed and scared.

"Actually, when you love someone, you don't need her to do anything, she just needs to smile at you, and you will be satisfied. A heart is heavy, full of her. But when you don't love someone, no matter what she does for you, even if it's going up and down, it's just a cutscene. Lanyu is his heart, and I am just his cutscene. Chen Xiang slowly raised her head and looked at Bao Xi: "Actually, you can all see it, but because of my identity, no one will tell me, right?"

Bao Xi nodded, and then quickly shook his head.

"Actually, you already knew. He said that he gave me an inkstone, you actually guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?" Chen Xiang said, tears sliding down her cheeks like beads with broken threads: "He has long said that there is no circle (fate) between me and him." It's just that I'm stupid, I'm wishful thinking, I think that if I treat him well, I can make him like me. But actually, when I was working for him, he never looked at me once. He didn't care about me, and he didn't care what I did. ”

Bao Xi pulled out the handkerchief from her sleeve and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, Chen Xiang was her first master and a lovely little sister in her heart. Seeing that she was sad and sad for Cheng Yong, Bao Xi also felt that her nose was sour. I wanted to comfort her a few words, but I felt that at this time, it was in vain to say anything.

What else can you say? Comfort her, things are not as bad as she imagined? In fact, what Cheng Yong thinks in his heart may be worse than what Chen Xiang sees.

Bao Xi pursed her lips and held back her tears and comforted: "Princess, don't be sad. The princess is young and beautiful, and the princes who want to pursue the princess can line up from the Cheng'an Palace to the moat. The princess will definitely meet someone she likes even more. ”

"Will it?" Chen Xiang sniffled: "Actually, I wish that person was Cheng Yong." You know what? He's a god in me, and he's standing there, not saying anything, not having to do anything, smiling at me, and my heart is crazy about him. But as he stood there, he would only look at me with hatred, as if I were his enemy. It was as if he was going to kill me and avenge his beloved Lan Yu. ”

"Yes, there will definitely be someone better than the eldest young master to love the princess, just wait slowly. Bao Xi said, patting her hand lightly: "Princess, the summer heat has receded, it is not dark at this time, it is the time to be comfortable and cool." Why don't you take a walk in the palace with the princess?"

Chen Xiang wiped away her tears, slowly stood up, and said, "I heard that the sixth brother is preparing for a marriage?"

Bao Xi nodded: "Yes, even the emperor has no problem with him." These six masters are too stubborn, and the queen mother can't say anything about this marriage, he just refuses to give up. ”

Chen Xiang sighed, in fact, the three of them are all long-term and bitter people. They are all the same affection, the same persistence, but unfortunately, the same illness is not the same fate, except for Rong Zhan, none of the three brothers and sisters got their wish.

The car drove to the street corner of Prince Bao's mansion, and a few hundred meters away, you could see the busy work of the people in the mansion. One by one, they carried large baskets and small baskets in their hands, pushed boxes and drove the cars, and transported things to the house in large quantities.

Seeing that Chenxiang's car arrived, the people inside and outside the gate of the house knelt on the ground.

Chenxiang jumped out of the carriage and waved at them: "Come on, don't kneel, this princess has come to see the sixth brother, you are busy with you." ”

Chen Xiang said, and walked in with Bao Xi, this Bao Prince's Mansion is full of lights, red silk paintings, all of which should be new. All kinds of flowers are also transported from the south with a warm pavilion, placed in the flower room, and they are all flower bones, ready to welcome relatives, just in bloom.

Chen Xiang strolled into Rong Run's study, Rong Run was pinching a book and looking at it, holding a small teapot in one hand, almost poking the spout in the face. Miyaka sneered and laughed.

Rong Run heard someone laughing, and looked up: "Chenxiang is here, these slaves are getting more and more ignorant, so they let the princess walk in like this." And I didn't report it. ”

"What's the matter, Sixth Brother doesn't welcome me here?"

Rong Run smiled slightly: "Where is it, I knew that my sister was coming, and the sixth brother was covered with red silk to welcome the royal sister on the three streets as early as possible." ”

"Come on, Sixth Brother, I'm not your bride, what kind of red silk do you lay?" Chen Xiang looked aimlessly in his study: "What kind of book did Sixth Brother read just now?"

Chen Xiang said, reaching out to take it and seeing, it was a small folded book, only the size of a palm, and it was full of hand-painted flowers.

"Oh, is it embroidery?" Chen Xiang turned her head and smiled: "The sixth brother is a man who stands up to the sky, how do you look like a woman's embroidery?

"Sister is joking with me?" Rong Run took the embroidery book and put it aside: "Why did my sister suddenly come to the sixth brother?"
