I don't know if it was Lin Ruhai's order, Cuizhu and Xueyan didn't come in, Daiyu was alone in the room, frowning for a long time, still feeling a mess.Rarely, she had the thought of escaping - she shook her head irritably, intending to put all these disturbing thoughts aside and sleep first before talking.

So she really fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, my heart was still confused, but fortunately Lin Ruhai didn't press her to ask, so she didn't mention it.

The father and daughter were still getting along as usual, as if there had never been that serious and consequential conversation.Lin Ruhai's original intention was to inform Daiyu, not to force her to make a choice, but there was some meaning to it, and he was not willing to push the precious girl too hastily.Of course, if there is any difference, it would be that these two days Daiyu always finds excuses not to go to the main room for dinner, it's just that she didn't know about the engagement before, but now that she knows, she always feels embarrassed to see Liu Yixuan again.

It's impossible for Lin Ruhai not to know about her care, so he didn't call her to eat, but ordered the kitchen to cook some more good dishes and send them to his room.

Although Daiyu deliberately avoids it, meeting is always inevitable. On the day of returning to Beijing, the two inevitably met at the ferry.

"Sister Daiyu." Liu Yixuan spoke first, calling to stop Daiyu who was about to board the boat with her head bowed.

"Your Majesty." Daiyu could only turn around and called softly.

For some reason, her heart was beating a little fiercely, and her face was also a little hot.She is not an ignorant child, she thought she could calm down, but the fact is that she was wrong.She didn't feel that she had avoided meeting him before, but everything felt different after meeting him. It seemed that overnight, there was some kind of inexplicable connection between herself and him, which made her a little at a loss. I don't know how to face him.

She is a delicate and observant person. The moment she raised her eyes and saw him, she knew that his mood and attitude were very different from before. It was a kind of joy from the inside out, just It's like the feeling that Sheng Yu gave when she got her favorite toy when she was a child, the difference is that she has a little more shyness that is rare.Although this kind of change is almost undetectable, anyone would say that Liu Yixuan has an expressionless face, but for some reason, she can see his slight change.

He must know he already knew about it, she thought.

Liu Yixuan pursed his lips, and let out a soft "um" sound from his throat.

Daiyu guessed right, even though he appeared to be calm and reserved on the surface, his inner tension was several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times stronger than hers.He was afraid, afraid of Daiyu's overreaction, the past few days she had been hiding had made his heart jump.This process of not knowing what the outcome will be is more tormenting than directly imposing the death penalty. Of course, if it is the death penalty, he would rather suffer.Before this, he never imagined that one day he would be so cowardly as a mouse, surrendering to such a thing that he used to think was ridiculous, and surrendering willingly.

Her attitude made him feel relieved, as long as she didn't sentence him to death as soon as she opened her mouth, it would be a good sign.

While he was thinking wildly, Daiyu had already boarded the boat holding Cuizhu's hand, he stared at her back and disappeared into the bow, and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.After savoring this comfortable feeling for a while, he slowly stepped onto the boat.

He wanted to be with Daiyu, but he couldn't.

Before the matter was made clear, he could still comfort himself to take care of her as an elder brother, but once it was made clear, he lost even this benefit and dared not go beyond the rules in the slightest.One is that he respects Daiyu from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't want to be abrupt or misunderstood by her; the other is that his father is right in front of him, so how dare he do anything wrong, and he finally won the elder's approval. It's not good to waste all previous efforts, and regret that there is no place to buy medicine.

The building boat of the imperial envoy is very powerful and majestic. It is divided into upper, middle and lower floors.The room where Daiyu lives is luxuriously decorated, and because the cabin is spacious, it is very stable, and she moves as if walking on flat ground.

There is also a special study room in the ship, which is complete with books and chess boards.

This day Daiyu wanted to go to the study to find some books to read when she had nothing to do, but she just opened the curtain and went in when she froze in her footsteps.It turned out that Liu Yixuan was sitting on the ground in front of a very short desk, writing something with a brush.At this moment, she had already stepped in, and when she was about to exit, on the one hand, she was embarrassed, and on the other hand, it was not good for him to see even if it was just a back view.At the moment she was hesitating, Liu Yixuan just raised his head, so he naturally saw her.

Daiyu thought to herself: This is great. If he sees it, he will have to go in even if he doesn't.

Cuizhu and Xueyan looked at each other, and quietly retreated in tacit understanding.

But Liu Yixuan was stunned for some reason, and stared blankly at Daiyu slowly approaching.He was still holding the pen in his hand, and the ink that was fully dipped in the pen tip merged into a drop of ink, which was about to fall off the pen and drip on the rice paper. He didn't even realize it, so Daiyu had to remind: "Be careful, ink It's about to drop!"

Only then did he realize that he hastily turned his pen away, pulled the corner of his mouth towards Daiyu, and barely smiled gratefully.

Daiyu looked at the case, and he wrote the words "swallowing mountains and rivers with anger".A person speaks words like a person, these four words are unusually sharp, majestic and decent, and the meaning is also grand and grand, which suits him very well.

"My sister is here...?" He stood up while talking, and accidentally rubbed against the desk, but he didn't care, and walked towards Daiyu.

"Uh... I'm here to find a book to read." Daiyu pointed to the bookshelf beside her.

"What book does my sister read?" He asked with a smile.

"I don't know, just look at what you find." She said as she walked towards the bookshelf, passing by a case, she couldn't help being attracted by the chessboard on the case.Liu Yixuan said with a smile: "Your sister also likes to play chess? Then she must be good at chess."

Daiyu said humbly: "It's just superficial knowledge. Who played this game of chess? It's exquisite."

Liu Yixuan said: "I just played around with nothing to do."

"You play against yourself?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, she knew it already, "Your chess skills are much better than mine."

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan said: "Sister is too modest, a smart person like my sister must be a hundred times stronger than me. Otherwise, how about we have a competition? Let's play with this game of chess."

Daiyu didn't want to agree at first, but he tempted her with this broken chess game, and she was moved.When you like something, sometimes it is easy to get itchy, especially when you have not met an opponent for a long time, and suddenly encounter someone who may be evenly matched, it is hard to bear.She simply went all out, anyway, it's not the first time with him, just get along with him as before.

What she thought, Liu Yixuan had no way of knowing.But he was still happy with her reaction.Like her, he is very good at chess and loves to play games. In fact, he has heard that Daiyu's chess skills are superb, but the man and woman are different, and he secretly hates that there is no chance to compete. Today is also a coincidence.So the two fought back and forth on the chessboard. Overall, they were evenly matched. This time I had the advantage, and the next time you had the advantage, so the more they got more and more interested, the more they got involved, and in the end there was no winner. , Seeing that it was getting late, both of them couldn't help laughing, shaking hands and making peace.

Next, Liu Yixuan helped Daiyu find books, and after finding several books, Daiyu was not satisfied. Finally, she chose one by herself, and opened it to see that it was full of annotations, all in small block letters, neatly written. , It can be seen that the person who wrote the book is serious.

Liu Yixuan smiled embarrassedly: "I annotated these, I like this book very much, I annotated a little too much. If I know that my sister also reads it, I will write the annotations elsewhere."

Daiyu flipped through the pages, and said, "You annotated it very well, and I like this book too. With your annotations, it's easier for me to read."

"Really?" Liu Yixuan was a little surprised.

He thought that with her quiet nature, she wouldn't like such books, she could always surprise him.

Daiyu nodded solemnly, she was not lying.

After a while, Daiyu got up to say goodbye, she had to go back and change her clothes.

After sending Daiyu out, Liu Yixuan lowered his head and couldn't help being surprised, it turned out that the front of his robe was smeared with ink.Judging from the dryness of the ink, it must have been stained for some time, and he thought it should have been stained when Daiyu rubbed on the desk when she first arrived.Then... Daiyu must have seen that, just like herself, she felt a little awkward when the two of them were alone.She had already reminded herself once, so she was embarrassed to remind her a second time, and as for herself, she was only interested in circling with her and finding topics, but she didn't notice such conspicuous ink stains. This is so unlike him!

From then on, Daiyu and Liu Yixuan had more interactions that others could not understand.

It is rare to have a confidant in life. After experiencing the events of that day, both of them have a new understanding of each other, and both have a feeling of sympathy for each other.Lin Ruhai clearly felt that his daughter's attitude towards Liu Yixuan had changed. This marriage is probably a success, he thought.He told the fifth prince about his thoughts, the fifth prince was naturally very happy, and clamored to celebrate, but it was Lin Ruhai who said not to make trouble, the child's face is low, so don't embarrass them both, he just let it go.

The winter in the north was cold, and the canals were frozen, making it impossible for boats to pass, so they had to switch from water to land.Hurry up slowly, and finally rushed back to the capital before the Chinese New Year.Sheng Yu and the two concubine sons of Prince Ying's mansion came to greet them outside the city gate early in the morning. Everyone had seen that the Fifth Prince, Liu Yixuan and Lin Ruhai did not go home but went to the palace to return to the Holy Majesty. Dai Yu and Sheng Yu went back to the mansion together.

Jia Min had already met Daiyu outside the second gate, and when she saw Daiyu, she hugged her in her arms and began to cry.When she cried, Daiyu's eyes became hot, and she also shed tears.

"You child, you are so worried about me!" she said while crying, Daiyu couldn't stop comforting her, and the maids also tried to persuade her, and it took a long time before she stopped.Daiyu asked people to take out the gadgets she had brought back from Jiangnan, and showed them to her mother and younger brother one by one. After a while, the sad atmosphere before was replaced by cheerful words.Jia Min smiled and said: "It's thanks to you this time, otherwise the master would not know what to do."

Daiyu said: "This is what a daughter should do. How is mother doing recently? Can Sheng'er improve her homework?"

Jia Min said: "Okay, everything's fine, I know you're okay, so I'm fine too. Sheng'er is also obedient and willing to work hard. The master praised him for doing his homework well."

Daiyu patted her younger brother's head and said, "Be humble, you can't get arrogant after a few compliments."

Shengyu smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I know all about it. I even left something good for my sister." He smiled innocently and brilliantly.

"What good thing?" Daiyu was aroused by him.

Jia Min said: "Isn't it just that Sheng'er entered the palace the other day, and His Majesty bestowed a white marble stone potted plant, as well as some tribute fruits. The potted plant Sheng'er said he would keep it for you, no, I heard you want it When I came back, I didn’t even eat the fruit, and said I would leave it for my sister.”

Daiyu was moved when she heard this, but she still smiled and said, "After two days, I won't eat it if it becomes wilted."

"Why is it listless? I'll let someone keep it well." Sheng Yu said with a puffy face.

Daiyu pulled him with a smile: "I'm joking, do you take it seriously?"

Saying that the girls had already brought out the washed fruit, Sheng Yu picked out one and handed it to her sister, saying: "Sister, try this, it's the best."

Daiyu took it unceremoniously, picked out the same fruit and handed it to Shengyu, asking him to eat too, Shengyu opened her mouth and took a big bite, staring at Daiyu with a smile.
