The fifth day of May in the 27th year of Jiasheng
Dragon Boat Festival.
Prince Huai's Mansion.
Prince Huai's Mansion, which has been deserted for the past two years, suddenly became lively during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. Not only did the officials who used to follow the East Palace come to visit at this time, but there were also many new faces, but Prince Huai Lu Zhiyue had been hiding in the study. It is inevitable that people who come to visit with enthusiasm will be disappointed.
"Your Majesty," Princess Wei opened the curtain and came in, carefully carrying some Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup and placed it on the desk, "Your Majesty, it's hot today, please cool down."
"Leave it alone." Lu Zhiyue looked at the book without raising his head, but his tone was kind.
Since the death of the empress, Lu Zhiyue has treated the Wei family much better than before. Although he is not very friendly, he is no longer as cold and cold as before.
In the past two years, I have experienced too many things.
First, his compatriot brother wanted to kill him, but instead he died unexpectedly. Then he was deposed, and then the queen died. Now, Long Live Lord has made him a prince, and he is about to promote the Xu family again. Seeing that his palace was bustling again, it was just that his mood was no longer the same as before.
He couldn't guess his father's thoughts before, and he still can't guess now, and he really doesn't want to guess anymore. After guessing for so many years, he is really tired. He just wants to live well, no matter whether it is the noble Prince of the East Palace , or Prince Huai who lives in seclusion now. He just wants to live well and his family is safe. He doesn't want to think about anything else.
"Your Majesty," Mrs. Wei sat on the soft couch, looking like she was about to say something. She had encountered too many things in the past two years. The Wei family had collapsed, died, and been demoted. How could she not be sad? She was beautiful in the past. She has a good face, but she is aging early at this time. No matter how thick the powder is, it can't cover the dense lines at the corners of her eyes. She hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, there have been many officials visiting the house in the past two days. You haven't seen any of them. I'm afraid... …Are you going to offend someone?”
"Then offend me," Lu Zhiyue said slowly, "It's better than me pricking my father's eye again."
Mrs. Wei sighed softly, said nothing, and sat on the soft couch for a while. It wasn't until a swallow fluttered and landed outside the window that she came back to her senses and said to Lu Zhiyue: "By the way, Your Majesty." , Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to prepare a gift to send to Prince Ning’s mansion? Prince Ning must be the eldest son of the emperor, and Prince Ning and Princess Ning are still helpful to the prince. "
Lu Zhiyue's hand froze suddenly, and he paused before turning the page. He slowly shook his head: "No need."
"Yes, I will take my leave first." Wei bowed and left.
Amidst the gentle sound of the bead curtain, Lu Zhiyue slowly put down the book in his hand. He is only thirty years old this year, but his temples are already gray. Everyone knows that Prince Huai has suffered many misfortunes, which is really pitiful, but only he knows that, For whom did he grow old overnight
To this day, he still can't forget that spring hunt in the 25th year of Jiasheng, he can't forget the startled look that the girl looked at him, and he can't forget the scarlet blood...
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see those clear eyes and hear the sarcasm from his heart -
Lu Zhiyue, don’t you like her the most
Then why would you disregard her life
…
He was really speechless and ashamed.
At that time, he suddenly realized that he had always been so selfish and despicable.
