Taishi

"A chance encounter at Peach Blossom Temple, a temptation after drinking... Didn't Yuan Jin ask you to do all of this?"

Hua Xiangxiang closed her eyes and cold tears rolled down her delicate chin: "No, these are the orders of His Highness the Third Highness." Wiping Hua Xiangxiang with a handkerchief, she continued to say sadly, "The time at Peach Blossom Temple was worried by the Third Highness. The grand master's safety asked me to follow to protect the grand master, and when the grand master was drunk, I asked who the grand master most wanted to sit in that position, and the third prince asked me to ask..."

"That time at Peach Blossom Temple was because Princess Xianbei liked me, so His Highness was worried that someone would harm me, so it is understandable to ask Miss Hua to protect me, but why did His Highness ask you to ask me that question after being drunk?"

After hearing this, Hua Xiangxiang's tears just stopped gushing out again, and it was the broken bean: "The Third Highness said that he wants to know your thoughts."

Knowing that I must have said something I shouldn't have said that day: "What did I... say that day?"

"You said that you think it would be better for His Highness the Second Highness to sit in that position."

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, fortunately, he didn't say anything outrageous.

Hua Xiangxiang's tears could not stop flowing and turned into a rushing river: "At first, the third highness wanted to fight for that position, but after learning about your thoughts, he got drunk and never wanted to take that position again." , Your Highness thinks that if it is not what you wish, then what is the point of success?"

Yuan Ying has already valued me so much?

She wanted to comfort Hua Xiangxiang, but she didn't mean to stop: "You know that His Highness doesn't need to go to Xianbei, His Majesty asked the Second Highness to go, but I don't know why His Highness's attitude was so firm that time. Can't live."

"I was still wondering why the Third Highness was so determined. It wasn't until later that I found out that the Third Highness heard the rumor that the Grand Master might be in Xianbei, so he was determined to go to Xianbei. If you don't go to Xianbei... everything Nothing will happen..." At the end, she was sobbing and became a tearful person.

Something slipped down my cheek, I raised my hand to wipe it off, it was... my own tears, I didn't know when I had already burst into tears.

For his untimely death, for his selflessness, and even more for his lingering affection...

Yuan Ying, how stupid you are. Is it worth it to lose your life for a person who doesn't have you in his heart?Is it worth it...

It turns out that you have been silently watching and protecting me, but I don't know anything about it.

Because you are a beautiful woman, good stories have been passed down from ancient times to the present, you are that gentleman, but it is a pity that I have never been your beautiful woman...

After returning to the house, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I tortured myself while drinking cold wine under the lingering wind and cold moon.

I took out an object in my sleeve, and my eyes became hot again. It was a painting.

In the painting, jade snow is flying, the branches are cold, and a young man smiles gently.

I always thought that Yuan Ying's painting skills were not very good, but now it seems that I underestimated him. The eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting are clearly my appearance, and the similarity is nine points.

It's no wonder that the empress specially announced me to enter the palace to inquire about this matter. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the empress would have guessed Yuan Ying's thoughts on me then.

Hua Xiangxiang told me that Yuanying gave the painting to her for safekeeping when she left Beijing, as if she knew she would not be able to come back this time.

Yuan Ying, you are so stupid, really...so stupid...

After winter, the sky became colder and colder, and there was only one heater in the house that didn't work at all.

A hand stove, a cup of tea, and a book can sit in the room for a whole day.

In the afternoon, Hua Xiangxiang brought some silver taels and cloth to the house, and Ah Qi happily went to make tea.

"The flower girl is here."

Hua Xiangxiang nodded slightly as a greeting, she sat down at the table and looked calmly: "Teacher, I will leave in a while, and I want to hand over Xiangxiang Building to the people in Taishi's residence. "

The hand holding the book paused, and I looked at her puzzled: "Why?"

Hua Xiangxiang sneered, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and there was a strong sadness in her pupils: "I was picked up by the Third Highness, and now that the Third Highness is gone, what's the point of staying here?"

With a long sigh, I tried to explain her: "The Third Highness would not like to see you like this."

Hua Xiangxiang met my pitiful eyes with a little envy: "You know what? Actually... I envy you very much. The Third Highness has never liked someone so much. You... are the first and also... The last one, in His Highness's heart, you are the only one, irreplaceable."

The guess in my heart was confirmed, and the chest became more and more bitter: "You like him, don't you?"

She smiled suddenly, bright and moving: "Yes, I like him, so I'm going to Jiangnan, his favorite place." She lowered her head as if remembering the loneliness in her eyes and turned to relief, "Now he can't go I'll go for him."

When Ah Qi came back with hot tea, Hua Xiangxiang had already left, with longing and reluctance for Yuan Ying...

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Eve, it suddenly snowed heavily.

Heavy snow swayed and covered the ground silvery white, and a thick layer was built in front of the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion, making creaking noises when people walked on it.

Standing quietly in the courtyard and looking out, I suddenly thought of the plum blossoms in Yuanyi Mansion. Ah Qi took a big cloak and put it on me. There were many reproaches in the words: "Master, why don't you cherish yourself so much?"

I closed the collar and smiled lightly: "This kind of weather can't hurt me."

Ah Qi grinned and said along with me, "I know, I know, nothing can hurt the master."

"That's about the same."

At night, everyone had a New Year's Eve dinner together and began to watch the New Year.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow suddenly flew into the courtyard, Ah Liuyan swiftly protected me behind me, and the rest of the people also stood up immediately.

The snowflakes fell on the ends of the man's hair, dizzying his eyes, and the man was wearing a snow-white cloak and standing silently in the courtyard.

Seeing who it was, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be the Second Highness."

Yuan Yi nodded to everyone: "I wonder if I can let this king stay in Taishi Mansion to watch the new year?"

Everyone was delighted and quickly responded: "Okay, okay!"

I slowly moved out from behind Ah Liu and wanted to turn around and go back to the house. Yuan Yi warmed his hands with a bowl of tea and said in a lukewarm voice, "Are you going to leave as soon as this king comes?"

The footsteps stopped, everyone winked and retreated, Yuan Yi raised his eyes and looked at me: "Is that why you don't want to see me?"

I still didn't know what to say and just kept silent, Yuan Yi said without any haste, "Actually, I knew that you had returned to Luo Kingdom, and I have resisted not coming to you all this time because I was afraid that you didn't want to see me." " He laughed at himself, "Today is really here, and the result is still the same, I am being too sentimental."

The night wind was cold, and when the cold wind blew goose bumps all over my body, I tightened my sleeves and pretended to be nonchalant: "Since your highness knows why you still come here? It's not your highness's style to do such a thankless thing." Said Well, I leave without looking back.

Behind him, the shadows of the trees whirled, and the cold moon and stars left behind a lonely figure.

don't come again...

After a period of time, Changwei secretly came to find me several times, and the main meaning was nothing more than saying that I don't know how to repay kindness.

I really didn't know how to refuse Changwei's enthusiasm, so every time he came, I would listen carefully and let him talk without making any rebuttals.

I thought that Chang Wei hadn't come for half a month, so I should have given up completely, but I didn't want him to come again this afternoon!

In the past, when the captain came here, his face was full of resentment, but today his expression changed, and after careful examination, it seems to be, it seems to be... worry...

Before he opened his mouth, I couldn't wait: "What happened to Prince Cheng's mansion?"

Chang Wei's anger was also much lower this time: "Tonight, Your Highness invites you to visit Cheng Wang's Mansion."

"No." I said this resolutely, like the strong man's impassioned speech before he cut off his wrist.

Thinking about it later, it seemed a little too much at the time.

The captain's eyes seemed to shoot fire, his chest heaved like a ball several times before slowly flattening down: "If you don't go today, you will regret it."

For some reason, after hearing Changwei's last sentence, I became inexplicably afraid: "What do you mean by that?"

The captain left a sentence "Don't break your promise at night", got up and left.

After struggling all morning and afternoon, I decided to go to Chengwang Mansion.

When approaching Chengwang Mansion, the sky began to snow again. At first, the snow was not so heavy, but when approaching the gate, it was already snowflakes.

Because I was afraid of being seen by others, I chose to leave the door in the middle of the night. When I arrived, the whole backyard was extremely quiet, and I didn’t even see a patrolling guard. I guess it was because the captain had already ordered it.

There were not many lanterns in the yard and it was dark, and I searched around but couldn't find Yuanyi.

Could it be that the captain deliberately came to tease me?

Just as he was thinking about going back to his house, a suppressed flute sound swayed silently in the air, following the direction of the flute sound, he found Yuanyi within a short while.

Yuan Yi held the flute with both hands and played it very intently. He looked slightly drunk and looked like he had drunk too much.

I slowly walked behind him and stopped. Yuan Yi was obviously very involved this time, even though I stood so close, he still didn't notice.

At the end of the song, he took the flagon to drink, and then he found me behind him. His eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he immediately walked towards me.Before I could make a move, he had already stepped forward, Yuan Yi grabbed my arm and pulled me into his arms: "You are finally here..."

In my impression, Yuanyi has always been cautious in his words and deeds. Even if he has something to say, he seldom shows it on his face, and he doesn't drink too much. This time his behavior is a bit abnormal and I don't want to overreact. In other words... his embrace is very generous……

The arm placed on the shoulder was retracted, and Yuan Yi rested his chin on my neck and rubbed it repeatedly, causing me to tremble: "Father knows that you are back, so I can hardly protect you. The only one right now The way is that we don't meet again, but...but I can't..."

As expected, Emperor Yuanhua's eyeliner is all over the capital. If Yuanyi knows it, he must know it too. Now it seems that he is putting pressure on Yuanyi...

Seeing him in such a difficult situation felt very uncomfortable, so I reached out and patted his shoulder: "If that's the case, let it go, Your Highness."

He suddenly raised his head and grabbed my hand with one hand, with unbearable suffering in his eyes: "But I don't want to let go."

I don't want to either, but we are destined to have no results, so why drag each other down.

Slowly parted his hand and separated a distance from Yuan Yi to calm down the beating old heart: "Your Highness, the future of Luo Kingdom cannot be without you."

His expression slowly returned to his usual indifference: "Sometimes I really envy your reason."

I made a little ritual and wanted to leave on my own, Yuan Yi stood in the snow and mist with disheveled black hair: "But I don't want you to be so rational."

At that moment, the misty sea of ​​snow and the cold wind swept across the entire plum grove and destroyed each other's willpower. Yuan Yi flew into his arms and embraced me. This time, he directly covered his lips without hesitation.

His lips were soft and cold, as if only the boundless spring water could melt his cold and lonely heart at that moment.

At first, I wanted to resist. After all, if I really crossed this level, there would be no turning back, but Yuanyi's offensive was too fierce this time, and I surrendered in a short while.

His hand has a thick layer of calluses from years of sword practice, and the rough touch of his fingertips passing across his chest is extremely sensitive. I quickly held his restless hand and asked with blurred eyes: "Your Highness... Are you sure?"

Yuan Yi's eyes were equally blurred but with an unquestionable determination: "I'm sure, I've always been sure." He gasped and repeated again, "I won't let you go this time, no meeting……"

The palm of my hand passed over his shoulder, and there were layers of scars on it. My hand was stagnant and I felt distressed: "Are these the injuries you have suffered over the years?"

Yuan Yi didn't seem to hear me, his breathing was hot and his neck was flushed unnaturally, his voice was a little more depressed: "Don't you regret staying with me?"

At that moment, my head suddenly came to my senses. If I really did that kind of thing with Yuan Yi, Emperor Yuanhua would definitely not spare Yuan Yi lightly, no!

Thinking of this, I made a gesture to stand up. Seeing that I was about to leave, Yuan Yi grabbed the corner of my clothes suddenly, only to hear a thud, the clothes were torn in two from the middle, and my body suddenly felt cold. I stretched out my hands to cover it, and got down For a moment, a figure threw me directly onto the bed.

The author has something to say:

I didn't expect you to be such a mighty Yuanyi, haha! !
