Stigma

Duanli tied back to the palace and said nothing along the way.

Duan Ruwang followed behind her, after thinking about it, she was still a little worried.

"Fence beam."

The corners of Duanwei's eyes are reddish: "Huh?"

Duan Ruwang said: "Do you really like him?"

Duan Lishu smiled reluctantly: "No, I don't like it now."

She straightened her hair and said, "Go back quickly. It will be no good if it is discovered by the emperor."

The voice hadn't died yet, and there was a majestic voice from the side.

"It's not good if I know what?"

Duanwei was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw that the emperor was coming from the imperial garden surrounded by a group of people. Behind him were several brightly dressed concubines who seemed to be enjoying the lights in the imperial garden.

Duan Ruwang saluted lightly: "Father is well."

Duan Li Shu also blessed his body and said, "Father."

The emperor did not look at Duan Ru Wang, and waved at Duan Hu.

Duan Li Shu walked over with his eyes down.

"Why are you dressed up today, where did you come back?"

Duan Lian Shu probably knew that he couldn't keep it secret, and whispered: "Brother Erhuang took me out of Tianshui Lane to see the lanterns."

The emperor furrowed his brows and glanced indifferently.

Duan Li Shu hurriedly said: "It's nothing about Brother Erhuang, I've been arguing with him to take me there. If my father wants to punish me, he will punish me."

The emperor was too embarrassed in front of so many people, and said coldly: "Get up."

Duan Ruwang just got up, and stood aside slightly sideways without changing his face.

The emperor didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at the end fence with some dissatisfaction, and said: "The princess actually ran to that kind of place of right and wrong. What if she is in danger? There will be another time, I will never Light penalty."

The implication is that the matter will not be pursued.

Duan Lishu smiled, and said, "Thank you, my father, for his kindness. Before going back to Lishu next time, you must bring a lot of troops and horses, and you will definitely not let you get close."

The emperor loved the little princess so much, he was not very angry at first, and was amused by her words: "You, you, don't look like a girl."

Duan Li Shu pursed his lips and smiled.

The emperor was about to say something more, he caught a glimpse of the reddish eye rims in Duan Li Shu, and frowned, "Why are my eyes red? Are you really bullied?"

Duanweishu shook his head: "No, probably because my eyes were blown by the wind, it will be fine in a while."

The emperor seemed to be unbelieving, and he only shook his head when he asked Duan Liao Shu. The emperor thought she was lying and guarding Duan Ru Wang, and it was hard to ask any more, but the look in Duan Ru Wang's eyes became colder and colder.

The emperor patted the back of Duan Lei Shu's hand lightly, and said, "If nothing happens, please accompany me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to sit for a while. The family banquet is not over yet, and I also let someone keep your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. ."

Duan Li Shu obediently nodded: "Okay, thank you Father."

Everyone walked toward the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a mighty manner. Duan Ruwang wanted to leave quietly, but Duan Lian Shu secretly gave him a look. He sighed helplessly and had to follow behind.

The queen looked at Duan Li Shu's uncharacteristic and non-chittering clever appearance, sighed softly, and said: "Li Shu has really grown up, and I was still talking to your Majesty about your marriage just now."

Duan Li Shu became stiff, raised his head and raised a smile, and said in a low voice: "Li Shu is still small, I don't want to leave my father, queen and mother so early."

The concubines on the side covered their lips and smiled, admiring the little princess for her filial piety.

The emperor said: "You are not young anymore, it's time to think more."

The queen also agreed: "Yes, I heard that Li Shu seemed to have a good impression of Sui Anhou, and I was still thinking about whether to ask your Majesty to fulfill it and make you a long-cherished wish."

As soon as the voice fell, Duan Lishu's face suddenly turned pale.

If she had heard this before today, she would have jumped up happily, but the blame would be good luck.

Duan Lianshu pretended to be calm, and said: "Mother...just kidding, Liao Shu just thinks that Brother Wanggui is more interesting than ordinary people. If I really let me marry him, Liao Shu would not want to."

The queen hesitated: "This..."

Duan Lishu put his hand on the emperor's arm, shook it coquettishly, and said softly: "Father, Li Shu don't marry Sui Yan. I heard that he has a bad reputation in this capital, and he always likes to make fun of people. I don’t want to marry a man I don’t like."

Ever since the empress talked about Sui Yan, the emperor hadn't spoken, his eyes were looking deep at Duan Liao Shu, not knowing what he wanted to see.

At this time, being restrained and acting like a baby, he chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, naturally I want to marry the best man in the world. This is not in a hurry. Wait for a while."

Duan Li Shu Yixi: "Thank you Father!"

Duan Ruwang watched indifferently.

The palace banquet was full of joy, and it finally dissipated in a quarter of a century.

Duan Li Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She put on a cloak with a dark purple begonia pattern, and as soon as she walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she saw Duanwei who seemed to be waiting for a long time.

Duan Lishu stepped forward in doubt, and said, "Brother Erhuang, why haven't you returned to the sleeping hall?"

Duan Ruwang leaned against the red wall with his arms around his arms, and a faint beam of light from a lamp above his head made his eyes deeper and farther away.

"Fence beam." Duan Ruwang whispered, "You are going to die and forget to return."

Duan Hu was shocked, and said in amazement: "What are you talking nonsense, why would I want to harm him?"

Duan Ruwang walked out from under the lamp, gently touched Duan Liao Shu's head, sighed, and said, "Today do you really think that the queen just casually talked about your marriage with Wanggui?"

Duan Lian Shu was a little dazed, and his eyes were full of panic: "Isn't it...Isn't it? Before, I admired Wanggui brother, the people in the palace almost knew it in private, and it's understandable that the mother had this idea..."

Duan Ruwang looked at her inexperienced in the world and felt even more distressed: "Your prince and Wanggui are so close, don't you think the father has noticed anything?"

Duan Lianshu was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly reacted. She took a breath and looked at Duan Ruwang with some horror.

"Father is only testing." Duan Ruwang saw the tears in her eyes that were scared, and gently embraced her in his arms.

His posture was so gentle, but what he said made the little princess like an ice cellar.

"He is testing whether you have any admiration for Wanggui, and he is also giving Wanggui a chance to survive." He felt the fence trembling in his arms, "If you are interested in him, then forget it. It's yours; if you don't want to marry him, then..."

Duan Li Shu trembling voice said: "Father will not allow the prince to be with a man..."

When the emperor was reluctant to move the prince, Yan had a dead end at that year.

Duan Lian Shu was silent for a long time, and then pushed away Duan Ru Wang, muttering: "I'm going to explain clearly to the emperor..."

She staggered and wanted to leave, but was held back by Duan Ruwang.

Duan Lei's tears fell, and she seemed to have some reaction, she murmured: "But...forgetting to love Brother Mingchong, if you marry me, he..."

She knelt down, spread her clothes on the ground, and started crying softly in a piece of ice and snow.

"He married me, how uncomfortable it would be..."

Duanru looked down at her without saying a word.

Neither is it to marry, nor is it not to marry.

Duan Li Shu murmured: "I...become a villain."

Duan Ruwang just said that she killed Sui Yan. At this time, seeing Duan Lishu blame himself like this, it was rare to feel a little unbearable.

He persuaded softly: "You are not, they are the fault."

Duanweishu shook his head desperately.

Duan Ruwang gently helped her up and whispered: "It would be a mistake for them to be together. Even without you, the emperor will not let go."

Duan Li Shu choked up and said: "I'm going to ask the emperor, he...he will definitely be kind."

Duan Ruwang said: "This kind of scandal is anxious for him to wipe out all the people he knows. Why would you take it to the face and speak uprightly?"

Duan Lei looked at him dimly with tears: "But..."

Duan Ruwang said: "There is nothing, you just treat it as if it didn't happen. This is what they have to experience. When they decide to be together, they have thought about the consequences, and others can't interfere."

End fence beam: "No..."

Duanruwang frowned: "Fence beam!"

Duan Li Shu murmured: "I'm going to find the prince brother, he will be able to protect the forgetful brother."

She said that she wanted to leave, she looked like she was taken aback, and immediately followed.

"Li Shu, it is not good for you to do this. The prince may still blame you for your mistakes, so the gains outweigh the losses."

Duanwei said: "I know."

Duan Ruwang said: "Then you still have to..."

Duanhoushu took a deep breath, wiped away the tears on his face with the back of his hand, and said softly: "I do or not do it is one thing, and it's another thing if he doesn't listen. If it really hurts because of this At the end of the year, Yan will die, and I am afraid that this life will be uneasy."

Duan Ruwang was stunned.

"I don't do it for them, I just ask for peace of mind for myself."

Duan Lian Shu doesn't understand the disputes in the palace. She is simple and loves to cry, but unexpectedly clearly distinguishes right from wrong.

After she finished speaking, she didn't look as good as she could, and ran towards the East Palace.

Southwestern suburbs.

Duan Mingchong helped Sui Yan get out of the carriage and walked across a wooden plank road full of lanterns, and came to a misty lake.

There are several hot springs in this place, and grass sprouts even in winter, and there is only an inch of spring in the ice and snow.

Sui Yan happily placed the lamp in his hand in the gurgling lake water and watched a little light follow the waves. It seemed that he had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and his eyes were bent.

Duan Mingchong also learned from him to set the lanterns. Later, after thinking about it, it seemed that only women would like to set the lanterns. He looked at Yan Yan's Sui Yan, and after thinking about it, he didn't want to kill the scenery, and swallowed the words back.

The two stood by the lake for a while, Sui Yan suddenly said "Ah".

Duan Mingchong was watching him and said hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

Sui Yan pointed to the lantern in the middle of the lake and said, "It seems to be sinking."

Duan Ming Chong squinted his eyes and looked at it, as if it was really out of light, so he comforted him: "The lanterns are all like this, they will sink after a while."

Sui Yan said "Oh" and believed him.

The two of them walked side by side to the hot spring courtyard.

It was too late, and after the two entered, they were taken to the backyard by the people who had been waiting for a long time.

Sui Yan had been in Beijing for so many years. She was the first time she came back to soak in the hot springs. He looked at the white misty hot springs behind the wing in amazement.

Duan Mingchong took him to eat something first, so that he won't be soaked in it.

Sui Yan ate half full, sat comfortably on the soft couch by the hot spring and undressed, and asked casually, "Does Your Highness come here often?"

Duan Mingchong sat aside, tied Sui Yan's loose hair with a hosta, and said lightly: "Very few."

As soon as he put his hands down, he saw Sui Yan take off his shirt and exposed his back. A strand of untied hair hung on his neck, making his back appear pale.

Duan Mingchong was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked away, not daring to look again.

Sui Yan didn't notice his gaze. After taking off his clothes, he slid into the **** next to the hot spring and sat down.

He first probed in the water with his feet, and felt that it was not too hot, and then disappeared his entire calf.

Sui Yan played in the water for a while before adapting to the temperature. He sank a little bit and sighed comfortably for a long time.

Sui Yan drew the water and saw that Duan Mingchong hadn't come down yet, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, how are you?"

Duan Mingchong leaned on his side and untied his belt - he untied it and fastened it back quickly, back and forth several times without taking off a piece of clothing.

When Sui Yan made a sound, he shook his hand and said hurriedly: "Okay, it will be done soon."

Sui Yan smiled and said, "If it's not okay, give me the Fuju from the small case for a few chants."

Duan Mingchong breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the Fuju on the side: "Throw it directly?"

Sui Yan: "Yeah."

Duan Mingchong didn't say a word, and threw it out, hitting Yan's forehead.

Sui Yan was smashed and almost planted directly into the hot spring.

Duan Mingchong walked over hurriedly and touched his head shortly: "Is it all right?"

Sui Yan shook his head: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."

He pressed the blessed orange in the water under the water and watched it float up again. After pressing it several times, he whispered: "His Royal Highness has been slow to come down. Is it because of shyness?"

Duan Ming Chong was taken aback.

Sui Yan was a little embarrassed, so she kept pressing Fu Ju and watched it float from the bottom to divert her attention.

He tilted his head and did not look at Duan Mingchong. After a while, he felt the waves move slightly, as if Duan Mingchong got into the water.

Only then did Sui Yan turn his head, and the hot spring felt a hazy white mist.

"His Royal Highness?"

There was a voice not far away: "Yeah."

Sui Yan: "..."

Sui Yan Xindao is so far away, afraid that I will eat you?

He threw Fuju back onto the bank, and after thinking about it, he rubbed it a short distance away.

The hot spring is very big, and there is steaming white mist everywhere.

Before Sui Yan took a few steps, Duan Mingchong was a little nervous and said: "You...you are there, don't move."

Sui Yan didn't listen to him and continued to rub past.

Soon, he saw Duan Mingchong who almost buried his head in the water.

Sui Yan said in his heart: "Hey, it's so **** **** painful."

Thinking like this, he yanked and rushed forward directly.

Duan Mingchong was taken aback by him, but he was afraid that he would be submerged without a support in the water, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.

The two were close to each other, and Duan Mingchong only felt hot. If it weren't for his reason, he almost threw Sui Yan out.

Sui Yan gently pressed Duan Mingchong's chin, leaned forward and kissed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't you know... how to do it?"

Duan Mingchong was taken aback for a moment, and then his entire face was blushing with blood.

He weakly broke Sui Yan's forearm, and said with difficulty: "Ayan, you just got sick, don't... don't make trouble..."

Sui Yan leaned forward and pecked his lips lightly, and said casually: "Don't move, I'll teach you. Don't worry, I won't be tired."

Duan Mingchong: "..."

Although Duan Mingchong hadn't gone through this incident, the people in the palace didn't know how to do it. He took a deep breath and looked at Sui Yan with composure, and said dumbly: "What are you teaching me?"

Sui Yan's hand gently moved down Duan Mingchong's back and landed on his lean waist.

"Teach you..." Sui Yan forced himself to avoid stage fright, coughing dryly, and then said, "How..."

He leaned to Duan Mingchong's ear and said a word, which seemed to be too shameful, and Duan Mingchong's face turned red.

Sui Yan looked at him like this, and liked it more and more, and was about to go further, but noticed that Duan Mingchong pulled his paws off.

Sui Yan was startled and looked at him in a little astonishment.

Duan Mingchong's face turned red, and there was some mist in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness?"

Duan Mingchong gently stretched out his hand to hug his waist, took him a few steps aside, and then pressed his shoulder to apply force. Sui Yan was caught off guard and was pressed directly on the jade **** by the hot spring.

He was lying on it half of his body, only his legs were not in the water.

The lying position was too passive, Sui Yan quickly wanted to get up, but Duan Mingchong grabbed his left calf and deceived him.

Sui Yan: "..."

Sui Yan's hair almost exploded. After he realized something was wrong, he looked at Duan Mingchong in a panic, and said, "I, I haven't...not soaked well."

Duan Mingchong leaned forward gently, hanging his eyelashes to cover the panic in his eyes, and he whispered, "Hey, you will be uncomfortable in the water."

Sui Yan: "..."

Sui Yan hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, but I am very comfortable. Soaking in the hot springs is particularly comfortable. I still want to..."

Duan Mingchong interrupted him: "Don't you want to teach me?"

Sui Yan was dumb and wanted to cry without tears. What he wanted to teach was not such a teaching method.

"I, I...I just happened to be sick..." Sui Yan hurriedly said, "I have to take medicine when I go back tomorrow, yes, take medicine, cough..."

Duan Mingchong gently kissed the blush at the end of his eyes, learning the tone of Sui Yan Fang, and said softly: "Don't move."

Sui Yan: "..."

For the first time in his life, he realized what it is to shoot himself in the foot.
