Ling Xueji froze for a moment, then realized, "You, you are...you are..." The unstraight tongue betrayed her pretended calmness.

An Le was pinching the eight-treasure dice that Ling Xueji had just given her, her slender fingers clenched her knuckles pale, her face was extremely sad, she seemed to want to cover up her emotions, her face was tense, but Apparently she still failed.The body wrapped in white brocade clothes trembled slightly like a fragile reed pipe about to be broken by the evening wind in the midsummer night.She is a pitiful little beauty with a pitiful smile. At this moment, Ling Xueji's heart aches when she looks at her, but Qu Quan is watching coldly from the side. She has no superfluous expression or superfluous words, as if she didn't see anything. Like, or for the girl in front of her, she has always been like this.

The three of them stood silently, only the midsummer night with the cool evening wind blowing in their ears, telling the unspeakable embarrassment.

Just when Ling Xueji couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to make a sound to relieve the atmosphere, An Le moved. She moved vigorously as if breaking through some huge cocoon, but the effect that fell before people's eyes was just a step, wasn't it? Forward instead of backward.Then she retreated three steps in a row, and finally retreated to a position where she felt safe, or it could be said that she would not be injured. She tried her best to smile at Ling Xueji, raised the eight-treasure dice in her hand and shook it, " Thank you for playing with me today, and for giving me such a beautiful gift. I..." She lowered her head and bit her lips, "I still have something to do, you guys go home, I'm leaving first."

"Hey Sisi!" Ling Xueji hurriedly called her.

Shao Baisi is the name of Princess An Le, and the names of ordinary royal women are not allowed to be called at will, but Princess An Le doesn't care about this very much, she told Ling Xueji her name when she saw Ling Xueji's love interest.Before Ling Xueji could tell her what her name was, Qu Quan came over. If she had told An Le her name earlier, I am afraid things would not have come to such an embarrassing step--An Le was very concerned about Qu Quan's affairs, so naturally Know who the woman Qu Quan married is.

Ling Xueji didn't panic when she yelled, for some reason she always felt that if she followed Qu Quan and yelled "Princess" in this situation, the girl in front of her would cry.An Le turned her head in response, only to see Ling Xueji picking up the string of purple phalaenopsis kites from the ground, trotting over and handing them back to her, "This one fell."

Sensing that Qu Quan's eyes fell on the kite, An Le bit her lip, her neck turned red to the roots of her ears, she quickly took the kite from Ling Xueji's hand like hiding some stolen goods, and immediately turned her head and ran away.

Ling Xueji was like a student who was abandoned by her peers. It was two people who failed to memorize the book together, but now she was the only one left to face the black-faced gentleman.

The wind is a bit noisy tonight.

--------------

The carriage back to Shangshu’s mansion was so quiet and scary, even the driver felt something was wrong with Shangshu and his wife today, so he didn’t dare to raise his whip too high, after all, wars always broke out suddenly, in case he was frightened The trembling horsewhip threw it into the carriage and hit that or that, and he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Ling Xueji was holding the crystal ingot that Princess Anle gave her, and she didn't dare to put it away, so she could hide it in her sleeves, and it would be miserable if Qu Quan grabbed the uncovered ones in the carriage and threw them out.But Ling Xueji still felt uneasy. Qu Quan didn't speak all the way, her eyes looked at the position blocked by the car curtain, and she didn't move. You must think that Qu Quan has fallen asleep.

Although Qu Quan didn't say anything, Ling Xueji could still feel that Qu Quan was angry.

"That..." Ling Xueji said tremblingly, "How about...how about I ask someone to return the things tomorrow."

Hearing the sound, Qu Quan turned around, his sword-like eyes firmly nailed Ling Xueji's sleeve on the side where the crystal ingot was hidden, Ling Xueji's heart trembled suddenly, he stretched out his palm cowardly, and let the ingot in Jinling Show off under the colorful lights of the city.

Qu Quan glanced at it and turned back, "It's pretty, keep it if you like it." At the end she paused, and added, "It's not a big deal."

Taking advantage of Qu Quan's slightly relaxed expression, Ling Xueji boldly approached him quietly, like a small hermit crab poking its head out of its shell to test the safety of the outside world, "Are you angry?"

Qu Quan shook his head.

Ling Xueji moved closer again, "Then why are you ignoring me?"

Qu Quan: "..."

Ling Xueji observed for a while, then came to a conclusion, "So you are still angry."

Qu Quan finally turned away from the annoyance, "I'm angry, what do you do?"

"!" The little hermit crab sensed the danger and quickly retracted into its shell.

It was not until Shangshu Mansion that Qu Quan dug the hermit crab out of its shell and threw it into the room to lock it up.Ling Xueji sat on the bed very anxiously, watching Qu Quan waving back the highlights and thrush that his lord was in a bad mood to ask about, and then skillfully locked the door, swallowing quickly.Then the person came in front of him.

Qu Quan straightened his clothes and sat in front of the desk, his gaze stayed on Ling Xueji who was on the bed, and the Master Shangshu who had been silent for a long time finally opened his mouth, "Say what do you want to ask?"

Ling Xueji opened her eyes wide and observed people up and down three times to confirm that Qu Quan was just in a bad mood and not angry with herself, and finally braved up to start exploring the esoteric questions she wanted to know 800 years ago.

"That's right, that silk...Princess An Anle, what's going on?" Ling Xueji was speechless, "She's still your student? I heard she called your teacher."

"I taught her for a year, and then I stopped teaching her." Qu Quan summed it up in one word.

Ling Xueji waited for a while, and found that there was really no more to say. This feeling was like spending a lot of money to buy a good seat. After all the tea, fruit and snacks were served, I waited for the gong to start on the stage. In the end, the host came out to show his face. The curtain is drawn.

"Is this over?"

Qu Quan glanced at her and shook his head slowly.Then he took a book from the nearby bookshelf and flipped through a few pages. At first, Ling Xueji thought that she was so caring, and even wrote down everything about getting along with Princess Anle in the book. After a while, she realized that, It seems that Qu Quan took the book just to make herself more at ease, as if she took the book to look directly at the past that she didn't want to recall.

"When I was 14 years old, my family was in decline, and I planned to go back to Jinling City in two years. I won the first prize in one fell swoop because of three articles criticizing the current malpractice, and started my official career."

She summed up her darkest period in a few words, without mentioning any bitterness and bitterness, as if she was not talking about her own past, but just a few figures recorded on a bamboo slip in the vast history.

Her eyes couldn't find the focus on the page in her hand, she spoke word by word, and Ling Xueji sat on the bed and listened to each word.

"Generally speaking, if you win the first prize, you can get a half-official position, but I was given a leisurely job in the palace to teach the princesses. To this day, I still don't understand the holy will at that time, as if...he saw me It’s the same as deliberately suppressing me. At that time, my old enemy was not clear, and I didn’t even officially step into the officialdom. I didn’t have any resources and contacts. My life was messed up, but I still had to be patient every day to teach those things. The golden branches and jade leaves who have no intention of studying at all are really miserable when they study in class."

The words "unspeakable misery" seemed to open a floodgate, and thoughts rushed down like a torrent.

"That day, I was worrying about my personal affairs, and I didn't have the heart to manage the play of the princesses in the classroom. Princess Anle, who was recovering from a serious illness, was led by the nanny to the classroom and saw me."

After several days of rain, it was sunny and cloudy.The little princess in a milky yellow dress came before her eyes like this.

Princess An Le is completely different from other princesses, she doesn't seem to be born with those pride problems.During class, she sat obediently with a brush in her hand, and after class, she caught up with Qu Quan, who was leaving quickly, with a book in her arms. She raised the immature cheeks of a 14-year-old girl, and pointed to the red circle on the book. Ask Qu Quan for a few words, pull Qu Quan to sit together on the corridor in the palace, and tell her one after another about the grievances and hatreds that happened hundreds of years ago, and the general trend of the world.

How can a little girl understand those things, but Qu Quan is rarely patient, because when telling those stories, it is rare for her to let go of the heavy burden on her shoulders for a while, forget the uninterrupted nightmares of the past two years, and be herself with ease .

I thought that such a comfortable time could last for a while, but I didn't expect this weak wish to be shattered after only three months.

"You, you received the kite from Princess Anle?" Ling Xueji was surprised by the content of Qu Quan's words, and quickly thought of the Phalaenopsis kite that Princess Anle held in her arms, which was more important than the most precious treasure in the world.

"That's right." Qu Quan closed her eyes and covered the book on the table, just like she did at that time.She pressed the string of purple kites under her hand, the smallest kite was ironed by the temperature of her palm, but it was the one hanging on the top.The shape is not good-looking, but the handwriting on it is shocking——

Tonight evening, see this good man.

Thinking without seeing, thinking like crazy.

"So, that's why you resigned from your position and stopped teaching?" Ling Xueji asked closely.

Qu Quan's eyes flickered and he regained his composure, "No, I have taught for a full year. It's just that in the next nine months, I never spoke a single word to her again."

She will never forget the appearance of the little girl holding a kite and crying and chasing her behind her. She only looked back and knew that she could no longer soften her heart.She wasn't afraid that she would be tempted, but that she was worried that if she gave a little response, it would ruin the girl's lifelong happiness.

So passionate, why bother to be born in the emperor's house.
