My lord, your plan is too obvious

At the end of the first month, Ruohua passed his own birthday, although he didn’t feel much about this so-called birthday, because in his last life, his birthday was in June for more than 20 years, and his birthday was not so much for himself. Birthday celebration, it is better to say that it is just a big fight to show the world.

But on the 27th day of the first month, Lin Lang stopped Ruohua when he got off the court, and insisted on celebrating him.In the evening, Lin Lang took Ruohua to Hezhiju, which was also one of the properties that Lin Lang's uncle handed over to Lin's father.

Both of them seemed to avoid the topic of Si Nian on purpose, and neither of them mentioned what they said on the first seven days.

And that night when Ruohua returned home, he received a letter from Si Nian.

"Qi Xiang Ruohua" is obviously a few words that are very common, but it relieves Ruohua's nervousness and anxiety these days.

There were not many words written in the letter, just wishing him a happy birthday.Not a word was said about the fighting on the frontier.At the end of the letter, a poem was written in small characters:

"There is no one to return to on the Cangfeng Mountains of thousands of miles, but to the stars of the Baizhang River, I hope you will come."

Ruohua rubbed the two lines of words with her fingers, feeling a little hot in her heart.He could almost imagine Si Nian's appearance under the galaxy in the high mountains.And the words "Xiang Ruohua" on the envelope reminded him of the note in the hidden compartment of Si Nian's study that wrote his name and selected poems.

Lying on the bed, Ruohua read the letter several times.Finally, he pressed it under the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he seemed to see a person standing on the edge of the Gaoling cliff, with the hem of his clothes and hairband fluttering in the wind, holding a long sword, and the galaxy behind him.As he stepped forward, the man suddenly turned around and hugged him into his arms, then jumped off the edge of the cliff, taking him into the vastness of the galaxy.

Looking up, it turned out to be that familiar face, and the stars were reflected on the side of Si Nian's face.

Si Nian smiled, he had his original face in his eyes - Xia Qing's face.

Ruohua woke up suddenly, only to find that her heart was beating violently, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

Is this a dream or a nightmare?

------

It has been more than a month since Si Nian led his troops out of customs, and the weather in the capital is gradually warming up.

At the end of February, Ruohua received a letter from Xiang Zhao, which mentioned that Xiang Zhenzhen wanted to go to the capital to celebrate the Huayuan Festival on the days of Xiang Zhenzhen's birthday.

The Huayuan Festival is held on the third day of March every year. Although it is not an orthodox festival, I don’t know when it started. Every year on this day, young girls will meet to enjoy flowers and go outing together.And the flower viewing party in the capital city is the most lively. Every year, many people flock here from other places just to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the street in the garden.

Ruohua also inquired about it before. This year's Huayuan Festival in the capital city will be held in a peach blossom forest outside the city. Although it is not too far from the capital city, if it is a day trip, the time is not too long. plenty.

So Ruohuatuo Linlang booked two upper rooms in the inn next to the peach blossom forest.Thinking that those two days were also holidays, when Zhenzhen came, I could stay there with her for one night.

--------

On the first day of March, Ruohua went to the gate of the capital to welcome Zhenzhen after leaving the imperial court.

"Brother," Xiang Zhenzhen saw Ruohua waiting for him at the entrance of the city, and ordered the driver to stop the carriage, "I thought you hadn't come to court yet."

"You come to the capital, even if I haven't come to court, I have to ask for leave to pick you up." Ruohua took a step forward and got off the carriage with Xiang Zhenzhen.

"Brother, do you want to go back to father's house in the capital with me?" Xiang Zhenzhen remembered that his brother had been living in Yanwang's mansion.

"Of course I will go back with you." Ruohua, the Xiang family's mansion in the capital, has actually been there a few times, but there are fewer servants left there, and it is far away from the palace. I don't know where Si Nian and Xiang Zhao are. What he said made Xiang Zhao not seem to feel that there was anything wrong even though he had been living in Prince Yan's mansion.

But this time Xiang Zhenzhen came to the capital, as an elder brother, he naturally wanted to be with her.

The two came to Xiang's mansion in a carriage. Xiang Zhenzhen stood at the gate of Xiang's mansion, thinking of the past.

"It's been a long time since I came back." Xiang Zhenzhen said with some emotion.

"If you like this place, it's okay to stay in the capital." Ruohua saw that Zhenzhen seemed to have deep feelings for this place in his eyes.

"I don't want it," Xiang Zhenzhen said with a smile, "My father and mother are in Tingzhou, it would be too boring for me to stay here alone."

"Isn't there still my brother?"

"Then I don't want to stay in the capital." Xiang Zhenzhen ran away a few steps, "Elder brother can't take care of his own affairs. If I stay alone and want to find you to accompany me, I will probably have to wait for you." Disgusted."

"How dare I despise you," Ruohua said with a smile, "When you come to the capital this time, my mother sent me a letter full of warnings. I told you, lest I treat you badly."

"Brother, I still remember that when I was young, my father asked you to recite books. I was playing in the yard with the window open. I saw you reciting and listened under the window. Later, when your father tested you, you couldn't remember a sentence. I whispered outside the window."

Xiang Zhenzhen walked into the courtyard, saw the familiar scene in front of her, and thought of the past.She knew from her father that her brother couldn't remember many things in the past, but it didn't matter, as long as she remembered.

"What happened after that?" Ruohua was a little curious about how this body got along with its family members before.

"After that..." Xiang Zhenzhen really couldn't remember seeing Ruohua, blinked his eyes and said, pretending to be angry, "After that, my brother said he would buy me zongzi candy, but I haven't had any until now. .”

Ruohua saw that Xiang Zhenzhen pursed her lips slightly, and quickly said with a smile, "I'll just buy it for you now. Why do you hold grudges for so long, girl?"

"Of course I will remember what my brother promised."

"Okay, okay," Ruohua patted Zhenzhen's head, "You must be tired from the bumpy journey, don't choke on me, take a rest, and wait for brother to take you to eat well."

"Brother will keep his word this time."

"Sure." Ruohua sent Xiang Zhenzhen back to the room, then sent someone to reserve a seat at Xiantang Pavilion, planning to take Zhenzhen with him for dinner.

Looking at Ruohua's leaving back, Xiang Zhenzhen couldn't help thinking about that incident when she was a child.I was originally born in a concubine, and my biological mother was not very favored.And Xiang Ruohua was born a month earlier than him, so he was not taken seriously when he was born.

The mansion never treated her harshly, but after all, she was just a concubine's daughter, and her father seldom asked about her affairs.

The follow-up to that incident when I was a child was actually that I deliberately said something wrong and told my brother, just wanting to see my brother be reprimanded.

Sure enough, the father scolded his brother for not being serious about the endorsement and punished him for copying the book three times.I hid under the window and laughed.

After two days, my elder brother found me.I thought that my brother would scold me or simply report myself to my father.But unexpectedly, the elder brother just took the book he memorized that day, told himself that he had made a mistake that day, and carefully explained the meaning of the article to himself.

And after that, the elder brother also begged his father to teach him how to read and write.

It was after that that his father gradually drew closer to him, and Mrs. He was also a gentle and kind person. After his biological mother passed away, Mrs. He treated him like his own daughter.

I learned to read and write very quickly, and even gradually surpassed my brother.Many people say that the young lady of the Xiang family is well educated and talented, while the son of the Xiang family is slightly inferior.

But in Xiang Zhenzhen's heart, the elder brother will always be the gentle and excellent person who patiently explains the article to himself.

Although I saw my brother again during the Chinese New Year, I felt that he had changed a lot.The elder brother seems to have ambitions, and seems a little at a loss when getting along with them, but he can still feel that he still has them in his heart.The so-called family, that's it.It doesn't matter if you don't have a mother, as long as you have something in your heart, you are a close relative.

------

In the evening, Ruohua took Xiang Zhenzhen to Xiantang Pavilion.

"Many of the dishes here are not available in Tingzhou, just tell me what you want to eat."

Xiang Zhenzhen ordered a few dishes, and then joked with a smile: "Brother, is he always so forthright? I don't know if he has brought other girls here."

"You are the first girl brought by brother." Ruohua also responded with a smile.

"Brother, did you come here with Brother Lin?" Xiang Zhenzhen remembered that Lin Lang seemed to be the only one in the capital who had a good personal relationship with them.

"No, I have been here with the prince several times before."

Xiang Zhenzhen was slightly surprised, she didn't expect King Yan to come here to eat with her brother, and from his tone, it seemed that she had come here many times.Is the personal relationship between the two of them so good?

So Xiang Zhenzhen tentatively asked, "Your lord has a good personal relationship with your brother, too?"

Ruohua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It should be considered okay."

"It seems that it is not true that the rumors that Yan Wang is ruthless are not true." Xiang Zhenzhen took a sip of tea and said, "Father rarely talked about Yan Wang at home, I thought Yan Wang was really that cold Scary."

"However, since my elder brother can make friends with King Yan, I think King Yan Xu is a patient person."

"You girl, what do you mean by being friendly with me is a patient person." Ruohua said helplessly.

"Because my brother is actually very careful with his surroundings, isn't he?" Xiang Zhenzhen smiled slightly, "My brother seems to be extra cautious and sensitive after he can't remember many things clearly, even when he goes home during the Chinese New Year, he is cautious."

"I think my brother must have been even more flustered when he just woke up from the palace. Especially since the prince is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the pressure on my brother must not be small. I don't think my brother will take the initiative to take the step of interacting with others."

"But even so, my brother has been able to have a very good personal relationship with the prince these days. I think the prince must be a patient person. He said that his temper is good, but I think it is not easy to be truly trusted by him. I am afraid that even now Elder brother Lin, the elder brothers are not so trustworthy."

Ruohua couldn't help thinking about Xiang Zhenzhen's words. It seemed that since he came to this dynasty, Si Nian had been with him the most, and because only he knew his secret, he had less scruples.

As an emperor in the previous life, it is a big taboo to trust too much. Ruohua is used to being cautious, and has never revealed her sincerity to others.

As for He Sinian, Ruohua felt that the two had never confided and chatted with each other like confidants.But it seems that there is nothing unspeakable between the two.Does this count as trust?

Seeing that Ruohua hadn't spoken for a while, Xiang Zhenzhen asked, "What are you thinking, brother?"

Ruohua hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Xiang Zhenzhen saw Ruohua's hesitation, although she didn't know why, but she could vaguely feel that Ruohua's attitude towards getting along with Yan Wang seemed to be very vague.

She didn't know about her brother's affairs in the capital and the government, so she didn't ask any further.Instead, he smiled and said:

"There is not much reason to talk about getting along with people. If you feel that you are willing to make friends with others, then you can accept it calmly. Why worry too much. As for the result, it is all determined by fate, and you can't resist it." Must it be?"

Now...?

Ruohua has been avoiding things about Si Nian ever since she realized that Si Nian seemed to be too tolerant and caring for herself.But what Zhen Zhen said made him feel that he was too awkward.

He admitted that the longer he spent with him, the more he admired Si Nian.Loyalty, filial piety but not stupidity, writing can be strategized, and martial arts can be used as soldiers. Although it seems serious and rigid, it is also somewhat elegant.Such a person, how can people not want to have a deep friendship.

It's just that Ruohua himself has never tried the taste of drinking and talking with others. He is used to living a cautious and step-by-step life. Before interacting with people, he always thinks about whether it is available, but ignores other things.

Ruohua suddenly realized that he was actually living the life he had imagined in his previous life. He was born healthy, with a loving mother at home and two or three friends.But I deliberately resisted these.Should I try to accept it?

Ruohua looked up at Xiang Zhenzhen, who was sitting opposite her and was eating a pastry, showing some joy, and couldn't help but smile.Maybe I am lucky, I can meet these people in my rebirth.Although he is still unwilling, and still wants to change the world to Xia, but now, it seems that he should really try to accept and trust these people.
