a pillow in autumn

The old maid brought new tea to the two of them with a copper pot, and set the charcoal basin a little more vigorously, and when they exited, they closed the flower-facing door where the magpies climbed the top, and the room became a bit warmer.

Shen Xianxun held the teacup close to her lips and blew off the foam, and took a sip.

Peng Yun looked into her dazed eyes, and said apologetically, "The tea here is rough, it's really not as good as before."

Shen Xianxun put down the teacup, tilted her head and "looked" at her, "You know I never care about these things."

"Then you should also know that what I said is all the truth." Peng Yun's tone was calm, people who are not familiar with her would think that she is probably an indifferent person, but Shen Xianyi understands that she has taken everything lightly .

"It's true that my father lost his job and Tai Shiling's family was left in the cold. It's also true that the baby in my womb is a medicine that can save your eyes."

"Ayun." Shen Xianxun groped to put the teacup on the edge of the table, and sat down at the table.She tried her best to identify Peng Yun's direction, and wanted to turn her head to talk to her, but she was still a bit off, so Peng Yun only saw her slightly profiled face, which was inexplicably pretty, but after a long time, she felt sad for no reason.

She stepped forward and sat beside Xian Xun.It was too cold, she held the teacup in both hands, stretched out her hand, and touched her slender and slightly cool fingertips.

Xianqian's eyes were dull and hollow, but her voice was soft and clear, "Ayun," she said, "Don't say that I only hurt my eyes today, even if it hurt my life, I wouldn't take anyone's money." life in exchange. What's more, it's your unborn child."

"I know. It's just that this child is the son of a criminal minister," Peng Yun's voice was low and bitter: "It's fine if it's a daughter, but if it's a boy, I really don't want him to spend time in confinement like the little princess of Prince Min's mansion." lifetime."

"You mean..." Xian Xun was startled, "Your Majesty..."

Peng Yun cut off her words: "If he saves your eyes and survives your life, the royal family may be lenient. After all, both you and Prince Rui have made great contributions."

Xian Xun bit her lip and shook her head: "I don't know much about the affairs of Chaoli, but every time Mubai comes back from the palace, he is always depressed, I'm afraid I still agree with that sentence...Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

Peng Yun covered her lips.She stopped talking, and after a long while took her hand again and said: "There will always be a way. You can raise it with peace of mind, and give birth to it well, but...you must never compete with his invulnerability." Anyone who says that it is a crime to conceive a jade, you have to be careful."

"...um..." Peng Yun responded in a low voice, then looked at Xian Xun after a pause and asked, "When will you return to the palace?"

"You drove me away?" Xian Xun feigned anger.

Peng Yun glanced at her, as if he had returned to the mischievous days when he was young and studied under the master of dance together. "You clearly want to go back, why should I rush?"

"you!"

"Ah Xun." Peng Yun sighed and said: "Just now I saw that Prince Rui's description is haggard and thin. Although he looks like a jade tree, he still has a little sickness. You hurt your eyes, she is afraid, it hurts your heart."

"..." Shen Xianxun lowered her head and remained silent.

"If you really don't want to go back, I don't have to persuade you. It's just that you have to think clearly. You have to separate from her. In the end, there are two endings. Either she can't let you go, and she will be so emaciated all her life, or she let go You, finally, be with the woman next to you, spend the night together, and sleep together. Do all the things you did with her before." Peng Yun's words were light, and continued like poplar flowers in March Sasha, "Ah Xun, no matter which one of these, do you take it seriously, are you willing?"

Are you serious? Are you willing?

Shen Xianxun closed her eyes, "I don't want to. But what should I do? I can never see her happy or unhappy, and I can't help her. I know she is worried about me, but she always Avoid talking about it, just because I am sad. She is in such a dilemma, but it makes me even more at a loss. I can't help her, I can't give her anything," she said incoherently, and big drops of tears flowed from her beautiful Drips dripped from her big eyes, like round pearls, "She deserves to be a better person, a better future, and everything better. Ayun, I don't want to drag her down."

Peng Yun patted the back of her hand, thinking of the Peng family and the little child in her womb, she couldn't help but have red eyes.

After a while, Shen Xianxun stopped crying, and Peng Yun looked at her weeping little face, and suddenly said: "Ah Xun, have you ever thought that maybe she doesn't want anything more at all?" Good person, all she wants is you. You are the best future, you are her best, everything."

In Prince Rui's residence, Shen Youtang was obsessed with a book in the side hall, and did not read it, his brows were deeply frowned, showing a bit of a young and mature look.Hearing that the little girl came to report that Prince Rui had returned, he put down the book and walked towards the front hall.

Zhou Mubai just walked through the courtyard, and was about to walk to the back (court).Shen Lan had been accompanying him all the time, Shen Youtang saw it, and stepped up to meet him, and was taken aback when he saw Mu Bai's pale face.

"Your Highness."

Mu Bai's footsteps stopped, "There's nothing wrong with the house, you two go back first. You've worked hard for taking care of me these few days."

Shen Lan blinked, took a step back, and looked at Shen Youtang.

Youtang said: "Your Highness, I have just returned to Shen's residence. My father just came back from the palace and said that yesterday, the great protector, Fan Shaoqin, made a note to tell his old age and return to his hometown... Your Majesty, it has been approved. He was summoned to the imperial study before, and I heard that it was because he wanted to read a book for you..."

"En." Zhou Mubai responded lightly, and his eyes fell on a clump of blue-purple iris in the courtyard.

There were no such flowers in the palace, but I don’t remember which year Shangshan Kingdom paid tribute to many flowers and trees. Shen Xianxun happened to see these flowers blooming proudly in the imperial garden in the garden, just like dancing butterfly.

At that time Zhou Lin was still around, and Zheng Xuan loved them very much. Hearing that Princess Rui preferred this flower, she stood in front of the flower and stopped to enjoy it for a long time. The next day, someone sent more than ten plants over.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." Seeing her distracted, Shen Youtang had to raise his voice.

"Huh?" Zhou Mubai came back to his senses, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Prince An has returned from Qiongzhou. I heard..."

"Youtang." With a tired look on Mubai's face, she rubbed her forehead and said, "In the past...before she married into the palace, where did Xianyi like to go? For recreation, or to play."

Shen Youtang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "My wife is invited at home, my grandfather supervises me very closely, and my sister-in-law rarely goes out. It's just that she has been taught by a master dancer since she was a child, and there will always be a few days in each month when the servants and maids will escort the master dancer. Qinshe, learning the piano with the daughter of the Peng family."

Zhou Mubai thought for a while, then raised his voice to call the steward and said: "Tomorrow, send two boys to take the lonely king's post to Master Wu's residence, saying that Xiao Wang has admired his name for a long time and wants to pay a visit in person."

The butler took orders.Shen Youtang waited for her to finish speaking, and wanted to continue to report the matter just now, but Zhou Mubai glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "Youtang, the lonely king is tired. From now on, except for the news of the princess, there is no need to worry about other matters. Report it to the lonely king."

"Your Highness, these are important affairs of the court..."

"For Prince Yu, apart from the matter of the concubine, there are no other major issues in this world." After Mu Bai finished speaking lightly, his face was calm and indifferent.

Shen Youtang and Shen Lan looked at each other.

Zhou Mubai didn't look at them any more, "The lonely king has gone back to his bedroom to rest. There is no need to bring dinner, you can either go back to your residence, or leave after eating, it's up to you."

"Your Highness..." Zhou Mubai had already lifted his foot and left, Shen Youtang took a step after him, this time, it was Shen Lan who held him back.

"Things are not going well in Taishiling's mansion today. Your Highness is probably really tired. Brother Youtang, don't force her."

The sky was getting dark, Shen Youtang and Shen Lan stood in the courtyard, seeing Mu Bai's thin back slowly disappearing among the vine-wrapped flowers and trees, as if swallowed by sadness.

This night I slept soundly, in the dream there were many people and things, like shooting stars, coming and going in Zhou Mubai's mind.She searched in the vast crowd, what she was looking for, she knew in her heart, but she didn't know.Just keep looking.

She didn't remember crying, but when she woke up, the warmth of tears remained on her pillow.

The little girl serving outside heard a noise in the room, asking His Highness to get up, and they all came in with the things for the morning.One by one, file to serve.

After changing the clothes and combing the bun, a clever maid came into the room carrying the breakfast, Zhou Mubai glanced at it indifferently, and told them to leave. The maid asked, "But it doesn't suit His Highness's taste?"

Mu Bai shook his head, "I'm not in the mood. Take it and use it."

The servant girl thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "In the past, when His Royal Highness went out for a long time and didn't return for a long time, the princess often didn't have the heart to eat. I think she was worried about His Highness in her heart, just like His Highness is now."

"You also served the princess?" Zhou Mubai raised his head.

"The servant girl and the sisters are all serving in this bedroom. They often accompany Shuyao's sister, Siyuan, and sister to accompany the princess. His Highness is rarely in the mansion, so he is not familiar with it." The servant girl said as she took the breakfast in the food box. Open it up and put it on the table.

"Then..." Mubai looked at the colorful snacks in front of him, and asked in a slightly expectant voice: "If the princess is not in the mood to eat, what will she do?"

"I will go to the Tashui Pavilion to play the piano." The servant girl smiled with her eyes bent: "The princess said that if Qingfeng is willing, he will be able to send the sound of the piano to His Highness, and let His Highness know how much she hopes that His Highness can return safely as soon as possible."

Tashui Pavilion was built on the lotus pond at the back (court) of Prince Rui's Mansion, with dark patterned and carved curtains hanging on all sides, people in it are like being in a fairyland with rippling blue waves.At this moment, the curtains of the Water Pavilion had already been opened, and a lyre was placed on the qin platform in the middle, and a graceful figure was sitting behind the lyre, with his fingers resting on the strings, fluttering like butterflies.

Zhou Mubai walked through a piece of beautiful flowers and trees, and heard the familiar zither sound faintly coming.She felt that she really missed her too much, so the sound of the piano was so real that it seemed to echo in her ears.
