My lord, your plan is too obvious

Since it takes two days to travel by carriage from Tingzhou to the capital, and the Ministry of Rites still needs to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony, Ruohua prepared to leave early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.Mrs. He brought him a lot of home-cooked food, and repeatedly told Ruohua to put on more clothes in front of the carriage, and remember to send letters to his family.Ruohua comforted her with a smile, saying that there is no need to worry about herself, everything is fine in the capital.

Xiang Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Brother, don't forget my birthday."

Ruohua's birthday is at the end of January, and Xiang Zhenzhen's is in mid-February. Indeed, it's not long since I'm back, and it's time for my birthday.

"I'll definitely ask someone to bring you a gift," Ruohua patted Zhenzhen's head, "Brother now has special silver, just say what you want."

Then Ruohua got into the carriage, and the food box in the carriage was filled with pastries made by Mrs. He himself. He opened the curtain and looked at the Xiangfu who was going away, feeling a little bit sad in his heart, even though Tingzhou is not far from the capital. It's far away, but I don't know when I'll be back next time.

During the few days in Xiangfu, Ruohua felt an unprecedented sense of peace and attachment in his heart.I don't know if it is the emotion inherited from this body, Xiang Ruohua felt it for the first time, it turned out that his family members felt this way.No matter how chaotic it is outside, as long as you come back here, you can put down all your armor and masks. For the first time, Ruohua wants to protect something besides this world. He wants to protect this "home", Xiang Ruohua's home.

On the way back, the speed of the carriage slowed down a lot, and it took a whole day to reach a town near the capital. If you want to enter the capital today, it will be late at night, and you have to pass through a place with relatively few people. Ruohua weighed it After a while, he simply chose to find an inn for the night.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he got up and went downstairs the next morning, he saw Si Nian sitting in the lobby of the inn.

Ruohua rubbed her eyes, thinking it was a hallucination when she was not awake.But soon, a pair of big hands caressed his head:

"Why did you come out with so little clothes on?"

The slight pressure on the top of his head told him that this was not an illusion, this was indeed Si Nian.But he is a prince, what is he doing in such a small town so early in the morning?

"Why are you here?" Ruohua turned her head slightly, trying to escape from that palm.

"I wanted to take you to a place, but it was outside the capital, so I came here." Sinian took off his cloak and put it on Ruohua's shoulders.Although it is inside the house, the brazier in the lobby has not been heated in the morning, and it is still a bit chilly.

Si Nian's hand went through Ruohua's loose hair, went around to the front, and tied a knot at the collarbone line.Looking from the sidelines, it seems that Ruohua is wrapped around his chest.

Ruohua suddenly thought of the hug before parting, and felt that this was a little too intimate, so he pushed Si Nian away, lowered his head and pretended to be serious about wearing the cloak, and said in a low voice:

"I'll just do it myself."

Si Nian was slightly stunned when he was pushed away, but he quickly recovered:

"I told your coachman that I will take you back and let him go back first. After breakfast, let's ride away."

Ruohua responded in a low voice, which was exactly what he wanted.In order not to let Xiang's family suspect the carriage he used to go back and forth, if he rode a horse, he could travel from the capital to Tingzhou in less than a day.Although it was warm in the carriage, the long-distance bumps were exhausting enough.Anyway, this is not far from the capital, and riding a horse is more convenient.

After breakfast, Ruohua left the inn, and saw that Si Nian was leading the same horse that he had ridden on the Tianqi Festival.

Seeing him coming out, Si Nian took the rein and signaled him to get on the horse.

Ruohua got on the horse, but because of the clumsy clothes he was wearing, he swayed a little unsteadily, and put one hand on his thigh:

"Be careful."

Even through the thick clothes, Ruohua still blushed a little awkwardly.Ever since that hug, he always felt that there was something different between him and Si Nian, and even this kind of physical touch made some weird feelings rise in his heart.

Seeing that Ruohua was sitting firmly, Si Nian didn't say anything more, handed the reins into his hands, and then got on another horse himself.

"Follow me." Si Nian withdrew the horse's buttocks with the whip, and galloped away.

Not to be outdone, Ruohua pinched the horse's belly and followed.

Ruohua is a little excited by the long-lost ride.Although the chilly air flew behind quickly, and there was still a slight tingling sensation on the face, but such a refreshing feeling made him feel familiar.He used to ride across mountains and rivers on horseback, looking at the world.In his last life, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, not to mention riding a horse. The hand that held the rein of the horse felt calluses all year round, but the sense of satisfaction cannot be described in words.

Although he is just riding a horse in the forest now, and there is no danger of thousands of miles of yellow sand, but this feeling makes Ruohua regain a little bit of happiness.

The two rode for about half an hour, Si Nian pulled the reins and stopped at the gate of a monastery outside the capital city.

Ruohua looked at Sinian suspiciously:

"You wouldn't be..."

Si Nian dismounted: "Come for incense."

Ruohua: "..." The royal family seems to have its own temple, right?So why does this person have to get up so early to bring himself to such a small temple!

The joy of finding it just now was wiped out in an instant.

Speaking of which, most emperors believe in the destiny, and Ruohua is no exception.However, there is still a subtle difference between the royal family's ceremonial sacrifice and blessing and the feeling of finding a temple to burn incense.

Especially when Ruohua stepped into the gate of the monastery and found that there were mostly women inside, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching...is it too late for him to go back now?

However, Si Nian went straight to get the incense as if there was no one else around, and handed three sticks to Ruohua, saying solemnly:

"come together."

From time to time, the women around cast curious glances and whispered whispers mixed with low smiles, but Ke Si Nian still had the same standard expression for thousands of years, and forced three sticks of incense into Ruohua's hands, pulling He walked to the righteous place.

Ruohua was dragged by the wrist and staggered along, wishing he could find a place to sneak in at this moment.It's really... so embarrassing.Si Nian can still keep his face unchanged, how much he wants to worship Buddha.It's so pious, why didn't I find it before.

Ruohua was somewhat reluctantly pulled in front of the main statue, which was a statue of a Bodhisattva. Ruohua looked carefully, but still did not recognize which Bodhisattva it was.Si Nian on the side had already entered the incense, knelt on the cattail mat, closed his eyes, and seemed to be praying.Ruohua also entered the incense, but he didn't think about what kind of wish he should ask.

Looking around, most of the women are wives and women. I think the people who come to this temple are asking for something related to family affairs.Ruohua thought for a while, then knelt down too, folded his hands together, and said silently in his heart: May the people in Xiang's family be safe and happy.

After reading it silently for the third time, somehow the details of being in Prince Yan's Mansion came into mind.The way Si Nian stood with his hands behind his back in the garden every morning, can't be lingered no matter what.Thinking of this, Ruohua secretly opened his eyes and glanced to the side. Si Nian next to him was still in the same position and did not open his eyes.

Even when Si Nian was kneeling, his back was straight.From this angle, the already handsome face is even more sharp-edged. At first glance, it looks like a cold and stern person, which makes people afraid to approach him.But after getting in touch with him, I found that this person is actually more like a somewhat elegant martial artist, adhering to his own rules, but in fact he is a gentle person.A stroke of a sword will not be aggressive.

Ruohua thought about her days in Yanwang Mansion, somehow, she closed her eyes and prayed again in her heart:

"May the year of Chu Si be safe in thousands of years."

Then Ruohua knocked his forehead on the ground and bowed three times.

When he stood up, he found that Si Nian was already standing behind him, his lips pursed slightly.Looking back against the light, it seems that his whole body has been gathered into the light. Ruohua suddenly had an idea in his heart, this person should be shining, even if the dark knot is twisted in the mud and deep, the only one among thousands He shines.

When the two left the main hall, Ruohua felt a little apprehensive when he saw more and more women:

"I don't want to worship every hall..."

Si Nian saw his expression of embarrassment, and pulled him to a corner:

"Then wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

There are not many people in this corner, Ruohua sat on the stone bench and nodded at Sinian.

When Si Nian came back, Ruohua got impatient and was kicking stones.From a distance, he looks like a child who doesn't know much about the world.

"You're back." Ruohua just kicked a stone into the crack of the stone floor, and smiled when he saw Si Nian come back.

"Well," Si Nian looked at the boy's smiling face, and clenched the things in his hands tighter, "Come here."

Ruohua walked up to Si Nian, tilted his head:

"what happened?"

"Turn around."

Ruohua was a little curious, but turned around obediently.

After a while, he felt a pair of hands passing through his hair, spreading out his bundled hair, and then those warm hands gently wrapped around his hair, and the fingertips rubbed against his scalp. Sometimes it made him feel a little numb, but it was surprisingly comfortable.

Si Nian's movements were very light and would not hurt him at all.And that soft palm brushed along his hairline and sideburns, seeming to have an indescribable entanglement.Si Nian was so close to him, he could feel the exhaled mist spreading around his ears, making it a little damp and hot.

His hair was tied up again, and the person behind him was holding his hair with one hand, and wrapped it with a headband with the other hand, and finally tied a knot carefully.

Putting his hands on Ruohua's shoulders, Si Nian leaned down and whispered into his ear, "It's done."

Ruohua touched her hair, and found that the headband had been changed, but she was still a little unclear.So he looked at Si Nian suspiciously.

"Keep safe," Si Nian said lightly, and then walked towards the gate of the temple, "Let's go, go back."

Ruohua touched the hairband again, but she didn't feel anything wrong, and after running two steps, she followed Si Nian.

On the way back home, Ruohua thought that Si Nian would come to such a place to offer incense, so he couldn't help but want to tease him, so he rode side by side with Si Nian, and asked with a smile:

"Did you come to this monastery with many girls on purpose?"

Si Nian glanced at him: "No."

Si Nian's somewhat indifferent reaction made Ruohua feel bored, and changed the question: "Then what wish did you make?"

"What wish did you make?" Si Nian asked rhetorically seeing the young man's reluctance.

"Me," Ruohua didn't hide anything, "I hope that Xiang Jia will be happy, and..."

Si Nian was a little surprised, and was about to say something, but Ruohua's next sentence made him forget all the language in an instant——Ruohua:

"...I hope you are safe."

The young man galloped forward, his hair raised back, and the red headband that he had just tied with his own hands was particularly conspicuous.Behind the young man is a winter landscape, bare and bare, but Si Nian has indeed seen all the mountains and rivers. The young man is wearing a white robe, and a pair of slender hands are holding the rein forcefully. With a little smile, the clear voice would not be concealed even if it was mixed with the sound of horseshoes, the boy said, hoping he was safe.

It was obviously the simplest prayer, but it made Si Nian's heart feel as if it had been crushed by a stone, but it was also wrapped in layers of cotton that had been exposed to the sun, tight and soft.

Ruohua saw that Si Nian hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked:

"You haven't said your wish yet."

Si Nian turned his head and whipped his horsewhip: "I'll tell you later."

Ruohua felt that he had been deceived, so he quickly speeded up to catch up with Sinian, clamoring behind him to listen now.

Hearing the boy's angry voice, Si Nian could not restrain the corners of his mouth from curling up, his eyes were full of tenderness——

I would like to tie a red belt buckle to tie the knot, this love will never be understood for a lifetime.

One day, you will know.
