a pillow in autumn

"Sister Shuyao." Siyuan yelled softly, Shuyao backed away a little and let her enter the room.

"Sister Shuyao, are you alright?" Siyuan stepped up and took her arm, "I heard from the girls that you didn't even have dinner, are you hungry? I brought you two eggs."

Shuyao forced a smile: "I'm fine."

"It's nothing, why are your eye circles red?" Siyuan's sharp eyes saw Shuyao's red and swollen eyes as soon as he got under the lamp, he hurriedly took out an egg and said, "I'll burn it for you." Then he said to himself: "It's not hot anymore, I'll get you some hot water."

Shuyao pulled her and said, "I'm really fine. It's just that I'm a little tired."

"Are you homesick?" Siyuan held Shuyao's hand, but felt it was cold, she folded her hands together, covered Shuyao's hand in hers and let out a sigh.

Shu Yao withdrew her hand, shook her head, walked to the side of the bed and sat down.Siyuan followed, and found an embroidered pier to sit next to the bed.After a while, she took Shuyao's hand and said softly: "I don't know why my sister is sad, but seeing you feel so uncomfortable, my heart feels like a big rock has fallen. About here, except Of the two masters, you and I are the closest. No, even if we return to Ruijing, we will still be the closest."

Shuyao looked at her half-raised eyebrows under the lamp, they knew each other for more than half a year, Siyuan had fully grown up, from a little girl who chattered all day long to the delicate appearance she is now.The pink face in the past has completely shrunk, and Xu Shi often reads and writes with her young lady, and even smiles with a hint of agility.She vaguely remembered that just outside the door, Siyuan was crying anxiously, and a warmth slowly fell into her heart, and the icicles that had formed overnight gradually melted away.She smiled, Siyuan looked at it, and also smiled, but Shuyao closed her smile and said with a sigh: "When I came back from Dongnuan Pavilion today, Your Highness asked me if I had a crush, and wanted to betroth me."

"What?!!!" Siyuan stood up awkwardly, still holding Shuyao's hand.Shuyao raised her head while she was leading her, and saw that Siyuan's brows were frowned into pimples, her little face was flushed, she was rushing to leave, and on the other hand she was so anxious to cry.Thinking of Siyuan's uncertain appearance when she returned to Xinuang Pavilion, Shuyao hurriedly patted her hand and said softly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry? Is it possible that the master is going to make an engagement for you too?"

Siyuan shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go find your Highness."

"What do you want Your Highness to do?" Shu Yao grabbed her.

She turned around suddenly, stared at her and said, "Then what did you say? Do you have someone in mind?"

Shu Yao opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.Siyuan burst into tears, she pushed Shuyao away, covered her mouth, stumbled and ran back to her room.

In the next few days, Shuyao always felt that Siyuan was avoiding her, and they still served the master together and did some chores together, but there was always something different.Just this afternoon, the master woke up from a nap and wanted to take a bath, she immediately jumped up to fiddle with the bathtub, and rushed to carry hot water, usually this is the work of little girls.That's right, she no longer stays alone in a room with her, and always tries her best to pass her by.

After taking a bath, Shen Xianxun sat in front of the dressing table, and Siyuan twisted her hair with a warm towel. It was the season when it was warm and cold, and she was sitting upright. Her clothes were a little thin, and she could not help He caressed his shoulders.Shuyao saw it, turned around and hugged a little silk jacket and put it on her slender shoulders, her fingertips inadvertently touched the back of Siyuan's hand. Pulling the long hair on her hand, Xian Xun frowned, Si Yuan also noticed it, and hurriedly said: "Miss, I'm sorry, I... my hand slipped."

It was nothing at all, but Xian Xun was a little surprised to hear her depressed voice.Shuyao stood aside, her hands were empty, but her face was downcast.

Xian Xun raised her eyebrows, and said: "Your Highness will be back in a while, Shu Yao will go to the small kitchen to see if there are any seasonal refreshments."

Shuyao got a blessing and quit the Nuan Pavilion.Xian Xun took some rhinoceros combs in the makeup box, but said in his mouth: "What's the matter with you and Shuyao?"

Siyuan took the comb in her hand and helped her comb the ends of her hair, wanting to say something but unable to.

What happened to her and Shuyao?As if nothing happened, isn't it just that His Highness wants to give Shuyao a family, isn't it that Shuyao may have a sweetheart, those are all very common things.But this heart always feels tangled up, very tired.She has grown up so much, she has never been so troubled.

Siyuan shook his head, Xianxun saw it in the bronze mirror, and said in a deep voice: "You entered the mansion at the age of seven, and you have been with me since you were eight years old. Although you and I are called masters and servants, we grew up together. What can we say?" What you want to tell her, can't you tell me?"

Siyuan twisted his body, bowed his head and said: "Sister Shuyao said that His Highness is going to marry her."

"Oh?" Xian Xun looked in the mirror, nodded and said, "Biyue is the same age as her elder brother, and Shuyao is half a year older than her. After the beginning of spring, it is considered to be two decades. In an ordinary family, children should be in pairs Alright."

"Oh..." Siyuan replied sullenly, Xianxun wondered what was wrong with this girl, and then said: "Could it be that you want to get married too? When I go back to Ruijing, I will let my parents take care of you." ?”

"Miss!!!" Siyuan pursed her lips, her face turned red quickly.

Seeing the joy and anger on her face, Xian Xun laughed again, and continued to say seriously, "Do you have someone you like? Your parents are in the suburbs of Beijing, if you want to go home, it's okay. You are no longer a member of the Shen residence, so it is not difficult for Prince Rui's residence to let someone out."

After a while, Siyuan murmured: "I don't have anyone I like, just seeing that sister Shuyao is getting married, I don't know why I feel very uncomfortable."

Xian Xun's heart skipped a beat, she grabbed her dressing hand and turned to look at her, Siyuan blinked and asked, "What do you want, Miss?"

Xian Xun let her go, asked her to sit aside, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Or I should ask, what do you want."

"Me?" Siyuan didn't know why.

"You grew up in Shen's family. You married into the palace with me last year, and you were separated from your old friend. I don't see you feeling so sentimental. Shuyao and you have only been in love for more than half a year as sisters. Why does it seem like a special affinity?"

"I don't know." Siyuan fiddled with the comb teeth in his hand, "Xu Shi has been with me every day since she came to Hezhou. She is a few years older than me, and she always lets me and protects me. I am used to her always By my side, that day when she said she was going to get married, in my heart..." Siyuan said, tears gradually overflowed from her eyes, she flattened her mouth, and the tears flowed down her cheeks and covered her face, I saw her sobbing while covering her chest Bian said, "Later I ran back to the room by myself, thinking that maybe soon, she will marry someone else, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see her in the future, woo woo woo, my heart is as uncomfortable as if my heart and liver have been taken away."

Xian Xun's heart sank, she vaguely understood what was going on, so she could only pat the back of her hand.

Siyuan wiped his face with a silk handkerchief, choked up and said, "Miss, must Shuyao and I get married? Can't we stay by your side and Your Highness, and serve you two all the time?"

Xianxun looked at her red eyes from crying, and thought of herself and Mubai, Mubai was finally ruled by a prince, so what about Shuyao and Siyuan.She sighed, and stroked Siyuan's hair, "You can't ask me about this, you can only ask yourself, and after you think it through, you can ask Shuyao."

In the early spring, when the ice and snow melted in Hezhou, a few bright yellow ducklings, led by their mother, jumped into the river one by one, fluttering their little wings to chase and fight, and the river circled the city, giving birth to vitality.

Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright, a group of servants had already arrived at Zhi'en Temple in the suburbs of the city, led by several big servants to pull the yellow curtain.A few days ago, the housekeeper of the other courtyard had informed the guest monk in the temple that today Prince Rui would accompany the concubine to come to offer incense, the temple cleared out the strangers, and cleaned a few clean rooms to prepare for rest.

The housekeeper arrived at Zhi'en Temple early, checked the time, and led a few people to wait in front of the gate. About the time when the incense burnt, several big-topped carts came from the direction of the city, followed by a row of single-horse carts, and the grooms all Wearing uniform clothes.Outside the Knowing Temple, the [-] or [-] servants who came with the car lined up to protect the left and right, and then came a few young men in Chinese clothes on horseback. The one who jumped off the horse first was Shen Yan and Shen Lan. Asked a few words by the window of the carriage in front, and then walked away from both sides.

After a while, the yellow curtains were neatly surrounded, Shuyao and Siyuan got off the second car, took the little girls who were holding them, and then walked quickly to the front of the first car, and put a few to support Zhou Mubai and Shen Xian Xun gets off the car.

The abbot greeted him from the temple, Mu Bai and Xian Xun put their hands together and walked into the temple together.The main hall of the temple is dedicated to the golden body of the Buddha, and the side halls are dedicated to the Bodhisattva and the King of Medicine. Mu Bai accompanied Xian Xun to kneel and worship all the way there.

The abbot led the young couple to stop and go, until they arrived at a side hall, the abbot said: "Please enter this hall hand in hand with the prince and princess."

Xian Xun slightly raised her head to look at Mu Bai, Mu Bai smiled, took her hand, and walked in together, but saw that the offering in the temple was Songzi Guanyin, and they blushed together again in an instant.

After the pilgrimage, the group ate some fast food at random in the temple, Zhou Mubai and the Shen brothers went to the back mountain to observe the scenery, and the Zhike monk led the female relatives to the guest house to rest.The guest house is clean and tidy, with only a bed, a table and a few high round stools, Siyuan waits on Xian Xun and leans on the bed, and sits on the edge of the bed and gently beats her legs.

Shuyao came in lightly with hot water, Siyuan heard the creak of the door, turned to look at her, Shuyao raised her chin, Siyuan nodded knowingly.Xian Xun hadn't fallen asleep, but at this moment she was next to a pillow, watching the two of them look at each other, how could there be such a flirtatious look? ~~

Xian Xun touched her forehead and sighed.Siyuan thought she was going to get up, so he hurried over to help her, but before Xianxun could speak, he heard the girl outside calling in a low voice: "Sister Shuyao."

Shuyao put down the teacup and went out, and came back after a while and said: "Master, Xiaotuanzi is here, and he said that the Deputy Dianjun asked him to deliver a letter to His Highness."

Xian Xun tilted her head and said, "Since that's the case, let a few people go to the back mountain to find His Highness, and ask Xiao Tuanzi to come in first."

When Xiao Tuanzi came in, Xian Xun was already sitting on the high stool, Shu Yao put the freshly brewed tea in front of her, I don't know where the tea was used in this temple, it smelled like pine needles.

"What happened in the mansion? The deputy Dianjun asked you to rush to find His Highness."

"Returning to the master, someone came from the palace. The deputy Dianjun said that it was the commander who came in a hurry."

"Did you come in a hurry?" Xian Xun lowered her eyebrows in thought.

A little girl's voice of greetings came from outside, but it was Mu Bai who had arrived.Xiaotuanzi knelt and kowtowed, Mubai waved his hands and said, "Get up. Someone is coming from the palace? What's the matter?"

"Master Hui, a few people came from the palace with imperial edicts, and are waiting in our mansion right now. The Deputy Dianjun listened to them when they spoke, as if His Majesty invited you back to Beijing."

"Return to Beijing? Or an urgent commander?"

"Yes."

Mu Bai and Xian Xun looked at each other, then turned their heads and told everyone, "Let them prepare and return home immediately."
