Seeing Wei Qi close the door, the princess blushed like a ripe apple. She and I stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
"Uh...Princess, I'd better go and call him back. We'll talk about other things when we get back. You sit down first."
"Well, you go." She straightened her clothes and sat down.
I opened the door and saw that kid Wei Qi was standing at the door, winking at me with an evil smile on his face.
"This is the end for you?! It's too soon, I really didn't expect you to have such an interest!"
"I, I, Wei Qi, things are not what you see, don't think about them."
"Xi Ran, explaining is a cover-up in disguise. Alright, let's talk. The man inside is the young man you saved before, no wonder he looks so familiar, please introduce me."
I first ordered Xiao Er to bring tea and pastries, and then asked him to enter the wing room together.
After the three of them were seated, I was the first to speak:
"Come on, Wei Qi, let me introduce you. This is Gong...Mr. Mu, when we rescued him last time, he was still in a coma. You still remember, right. Mr. Mu, this is Wei Qi, I A good brother from childhood to adulthood, the relationship between our two families is very good, last time I saved you together with him."
I almost leaked Mu Zhen's real identity, but luckily I reacted quickly and hurried past.
"So this is Mr. Wei. I often hear Xiran mentioning you. I saw you today, and you are indeed the number one scholar. Brother Wei also saved me. Mu is very grateful. I will replace wine with tea today. Thank you brother Wei for saving my life. "
The princess' complexion had returned to normal at this moment, she picked up the teacup in front of her and drank a cup with Wei Qi. Fortunately, the princess responded very quickly, otherwise... I couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, it was so dangerous.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Mu is serious. It's a trivial matter. I also want to thank Mr. Mu for taking such good care of Xiran. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to his mother when I go back."
"Mother..."
When I heard Wei Qi mentioning my mother, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. I didn't send a letter back for such a long time. I was really unfilial.
"Wei Qi, you must help me to greet my mother when you go back this time. It's been more than half a year, and I don't know how she is doing. Also, I only know now that you have been admitted to the top prize. My brother It's too unreliable, I will celebrate you when you come back, how about it?"
"Xiran, don't worry, I will definitely greet my godmother when I go back this time, she must miss you very much. I will be back soon, and I will call Mr. Mu together when the time comes, and the three of us will get together again. I don’t blame you, haha…”
After that, the three of us chatted some gossip again, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed and cheerful. We chatted until it was getting late, because Wei Qi was leaving for his hometown tomorrow, so he took his leave first and left.
After a while, the princess and I saw that it was getting late, so we prepared to go back to the palace.
When I went out, Xuan'er wasn't there, I only exchanged a few words with those guys, and then left Juxiang Pavilion.
At this time, the night market is already open, and thousands of households on the street light up the lights in front of their doors. The whole street is brightly lit and very lively.
In the night market where people come and go, there are not only children frolicking, but also men and women who are in love with each other, and there are also many people of all shapes and sizes. Cars and horses are noisy, creating a bustling scene. There are shops on the street to attract customers, as well as hand-carried hawkers, some selling jade pendants, rouge and gouache, safety ornaments, and various snacks... There are also Town God's Temple, Yuelaotai, Marriage, etc. on the street. Tree.
"Look, how wonderful it is to have peace in this world." The princess and I said to me as we walked around.
"That's right, this is the day when the sage respects morality and wisdom so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Princess, look at them..." I looked at a pair of men and women walking by holding hands or arms, and they looked very loving. , I was very envious.
When she followed my gaze, I stepped forward and took the opportunity to hold her hand. She froze for a moment and didn't resist, but seemed to be thinking.
After all, this is on the street, she might be embarrassed, then I let her go in embarrassment, and walked forward slowly. But within two steps, I felt a hand holding me. She came to me and slowly interlocked my fingers. We looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
At this moment, we are no longer afraid of anyone's eyes. In our eyes, we can only see each other, and only each other.
I led her for a walk in the street, we came to a stall selling snacks, I told her to wait for me here first, don't run around. I have something to do, I'll be back soon. She didn't ask me what's the matter, she just asked me to come back soon after finishing.
In fact, I remembered that there was an old shop selling all kinds of jewelry in front of me. Thinking about it, I didn't give her any token of love, so I had to make it up.
When I entered the store, I immediately fell in love with a small-leaf rosewood comb on the cabinet.
Seeing a customer coming, the shopkeeper in the shop approached me very obsequiously and said:
"Young master, you have a good eye. You want to buy it as a gift for your sweetheart. This is the best small-leaf red sandalwood in our shop. It is made by the best craftsmen in the capital. It is not a small shop selling itself and boasting. After searching the entire capital and even the entire palace, you will never find another such good rosewood comb."
"Oh, really? It's something you can't even find in the palace. I didn't expect my eyesight to be so good. Then, boss, can you do me a favor? I'll pay the deposit first and pick it up in three days, how about it?" I put the The boss called over and whispered something to him.
The boss said that the item could not be found in the palace is exaggerated, but it may not become a unique item in this world, from now on it will only belong to one person, that is Mu Zhen.
Afterwards, I told the boss my thoughts, and he readily agreed that I would pick it up in three days after I paid the deposit.
"Xi Ran, where have you been? Why have you been gone for so long?" The princess came back after seeing me and looked at me anxiously.
"Ah?! Princess, this person has three urgencies. You know things you can't control. By the way, I'm afraid the palace gate will be closed later. Let's go back soon." I made up a random reason He prevaricated and dragged her away.
But what I didn't notice at the moment was that a person was watching us closely behind us, observing our every move.
Then he entered an inn room. A man in a black narrow-sleeved python robe with gold thread auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a red and white jade belt around his waist, and a white jade waist pendant was sitting at the table, enjoying a cup of tea. .
He stepped forward to report to the man:
"Young master, they have returned to the palace. Everything is as the young master expected. The relationship between Song Xiran and the princess is indeed unusual."
"Very well, everything is under control, and now we are waiting for them to sink deeper and deeper, Mo Chi, keep an eye on them for me."
"Yes, young master." After the man went out.
The man in black clothes walked to the window with a teacup in his hand, looked in the direction of the palace, and said to himself: "Xi Ran, it seems that I brought you here is right, I'm sorry." Then he took a sip of the tea in his hand An imperceptible smile appeared on his face, but that smile was fleeting, replaced by bursts of coldness and ambition seeping out of his eyes.
I went back to Yihua Palace with the princess, and Yuan'er saw us back, so she hurried over.
"Princess, it's so late, why did you come back, I'm dying of slaves."
"You little girl, I'm such an adult, can I still get lost, not to mention I'm still with Xi... Mr. Song, what can happen."
"Princess, it's good that you come back, this servant is going to bathe and change clothes for you."
"Wait, come back in half an hour, don't allow anyone to disturb me, I have something to say to Mr. Song." After finishing speaking, she dragged me into the bedroom.
"Isn't it bad for the princess to be like this? What if they misunderstand me?" I was a little worried that she would bring me into the bedroom at such a late hour, which would cause criticism in the palace.
"Never mind them, I only have one question for you, and you must answer truthfully." She was very casual.
"Princess, please tell me, no matter what the question is, Xiran will definitely answer it seriously."
"You said today that you like... me, but is it true?"
"Of course it's true. When I first saw you, I felt a faint feeling. It's just that we are both women. At that time, I couldn't be sure. I didn't know your intentions, so I had to get along with you slowly. Later, I learned that you and I It's the same, and I felt ecstasy in my heart, and I knew from that time that I really like you."
"Na Xiran, you can promise me that you will never lie to me or betray me in this life."
I held her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said to her affectionately and seriously:
"I, Song Xiran, will never lie to Mu Zhen in this life. If I violate this oath, I will..."
"Xi Ran, it's good that you have this kind of heart, you don't need to swear, I believe in you. In the future, when there is no one else, just call me Zhen'er."
She stopped me, came over and wrapped her arms around my waist gently, resting her head on my shoulder. I looked down at the person in my arms, enjoying this comfortable moment that only belonged to us, and felt very at ease. The moonlight outside the window was so beautiful and bright, I just hope that time can stop at this point forever.
Zhen'er, who has a life-and-death agreement, talks with Zicheng. Hold your hand and grow old with you. I will keep my promise, don't worry.
