After Li Rong finished speaking, she raised her hand to fill Pei Wenxuan with water. Pei Wenxuan almost choked to death on her. She struggled to push the cup away and said anxiously, "What are you doing!"

"Are you in the spirit?"

Li Rong got up with a smile, and said to the people next to her, "Help up and go."

After saying that, Li Rong got into the carriage first, while others helped Pei Wenxuan into the carriage, and then backed out.

The carriage set off, Da Da left, Li Rong sat on the seat, wearing a dancer's dress and Pei Wenxuan's clothes, her posture was calm and elegant, her gestures and gestures, invisibly brought an indescribable charm and moving.

Pei Wenxuan got into the carriage, and when he saw Li Rong's appearance, his expression settled down, then he looked away, pretending that he didn't see anything, went to the opposite side of Li Rong, closed his eyes and fell down as soon as he lay down.

"Don't ask me where I'm taking you?"

Seeing Pei Wenxuan pretending to be dead, Li Rong asked with a smile. Pei Wenxuan didn't open his eyes and said lightly, "Anyway, he won't drag me to death."

"So confident?"

Li Rong laughed lightly: "You believe me a lot now."

"You can kill me now, and then go have a kiss tomorrow. Maybe you can wear this Persian dancer's dress for a long time."

Hearing that Pei Wenxuan disliked this dress so much, Li Rong couldn't help but swipe it down, and then said, "I think this dress is pretty, why do you have so many opinions?"

When Pei Wenxuan was about to speak, Li Rong immediately reminded him, "Don't talk to me about being vulgar. I remember that when you were young wearing this dress, you told me that it was very suitable for me, and it was unique."

This sentence made Pei Wenxuan speechless. All the words could not be spit out or swallowed for a while. After holding it for a long time, he said, "I don't think so now."

Li Rong sneered: "Pei Wenxuan, you were a romantic boy when you were young, but now you're almost like those bad old men."

When they were young, Pei Wenxuan was not like Su Rongqing, a well-known gentleman, and the outside world said he was taciturn, dull, and even old-fashioned.

But in fact, he would also accompany her to visit the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, watch her play and dress up as these Persian dancers, and join the crowd to dance with a veil. better looking. After the dance is over, when the cold wind blows, he will quietly put his hand on her shoulder and use his wide sleeves to keep her warm.

Then she blinked and asked him, "Aren't you angry?"

Pei Wenxuan squinted at the person in his arms with a half-smile, "Seeing Peony flourishing in Huajing, I'm too late to be happy, why am I angry?"

Li Rong raised his eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan knew that this was a warning, and he was not allowed to make fun of her, so he turned his face and said gently: "I was a little unhappy in my heart, but seeing you happy, I am not unhappy at all. Moreover, to be reasonable," Pei Wenxuan said in a serious tone, "His Royal Highness belongs to His Highness, I shouldn't be arrogant, as long as I accompany him."

Hearing this made people happy, Li Rong said, "My everything is mine, what about you?"

Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong's eyes were bright with joy, he turned his fan, hugged the girl, walked on the bustling streets of Huajing, blocked the people around for Li Rong, and smiled: "Except for morality, family, old friends, Pei Wenxuan's Everything belongs to His Highness."

"Morality, family, old friends," Li Rong read, rather unhappy, "Apart from these, what do you have left?"

"If these are not removed," Pei Wenxuan said helplessly, "I only have His Royal Highness in my life, isn't it a disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous person? Does His Highness like such a person?"

Li Rong thought about it, but she didn't like it, and she knew from the bottom of her heart that if she really had such affection, she wouldn't be able to afford it.

She was talking for fun, but Pei Wenxuan was used to speaking seriously, so she stopped asking questions and just stopped.

Seeing her stop, Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her, Li Rong opened her hands and raised her chin lightly: "Forget it, since you can give me so much of yourself, I will reluctantly treat you better."

As she said that, she looked at Pei Wenxuan's coat and said, "Put the coat on for me."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan paused. He stared blankly at Li Rong, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing him blankly, Li Rong couldn't help urging him: "Come on."

Pei Wenxuan came back to his senses after hearing this. He took off his clothes and put them on Li Rong. The moment he pulled the clothes in front of Li Rong, the fireworks of the Lantern Festival were in full bloom. They all looked at the sky together. Li Rong was no exception. She raised her head in a hurry, and then saw the fireworks fall into her eyes. It was at this moment that Pei Wenxuan held her hand silently, and at the moment when everyone looked up at the fireworks, he bowed his head and kissed her. on her lips.

The kiss was fleeting and dissipated in an instant like fireworks, but Li Rong stood there in shock and did not return to her senses for a long time. After all, Pei Wenxuan was used to being a cautious and somewhat old-fashioned person. When she did this in front of people, she was Never dared to think.

However, the other party was still calm, holding her hand, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, go."

Li Rong didn't speak, she was pulled by him, he walked in front, and she stepped in his footsteps. After a long time, she whispered: "So many people, why are you kissing me?"

Pei Wenxuan walked in front, she couldn't see his blushing face, she only heard his usual elegant and upright voice, dyed a bit unspeakably charming, and whispered softly: "Rongrong, I'm very happy."

He didn't explain much, just said something, and he was very happy.

As for what he was happy about, what he was happy about, and why there was a momentary gaffe, even he himself couldn't tell.

Recalling Pei Wenxuan at that time, Li Rong looked at the person who was now standing with his eyes closed.

"Say as if you're not old."

When Pei Wenxuan heard her thinking about the past, he turned to the side in annoyance and muttered, "Old woman."

Li Rong gave a soft "ha", "Damn old man."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He didn't know if he drank too much. Hearing Li Rong say this, he felt uncomfortable.

If you don't mention how beautiful the past was, you won't realize how embarrassed you are now.

When Li Rong reminded him, he remembered that he had not had the same mood as when he was a teenager for many years, such a calm, gentle, calm, hopeful and fearless mood.

He remembered that when he was young, he also had many hobbies. He could draw and write poetry. When the mood came, he could play the qin and dance the sword. He was a qualified son of a noble family.

He would go up the mountain in sunny weather, or take a boat to indulge in the mountains and rivers. At that time, he felt that everyone in this world was very good and everything was beautiful, especially Li Rong, every time she bent her eyes and smiled At that time, he felt that in this world, it seemed that there would never be winter again.

But he himself didn't know what was wrong. Li Rong quarreled with him, separated, his mother died, Li Rong and Su Rongqing were together, Qin Zhenzhen died in the harem, Li Chuan's temperament changed greatly, the greater the power in his hand, the better his position. The higher the height, the weirder everything becomes.

He felt tired every day, tired from everything, and after finishing his official business every day, his greatest wish was to find a place, quiet, without anyone, let him close the door and be alone. He is afraid of seeing the people around him, because the people he sees every day are either to quarrel, to be careful to please, or to be vigilant. Even Li Rong, when they met, was endless ridicule and abuse.

Days and nights, year after year, repeating this, the more tiring, the more irritable, the more irritable, the more irritable, the more irritable, the more irritable, the more irritable, after the cycle, he lived like a trapped beast, bumping around every day, until now when he turned back, he realized that he had already He hit his head with blood, and was beyond recognition.

He listened to Li Rong talking about such a beautiful past, he couldn't fall asleep again, he just stared at the swaying wall of the car without saying a word.

Li Rong sipped her tea and saw that he seemed to be asleep, so she took the account book from the side and looked at it. After a while, she suddenly heard Pei Wenxuan say, "I hate it, don't I?"

Li Rong paused, and after a while, she said slowly, "Don't I hate it too?"

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong turned her eyes down and turned the page, and said calmly, "I always quarrel with you, I always say that you are not. Everyone is the same, and you don't have to feel inferior."

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan was speechless for a while, Li Rong knew what he might be thinking, and his mind was uneasy, so he persuaded: "You have been drinking and your brain is not working well, don't think about it, go to sleep. Tomorrow we will go to Jiulu Mountain to find Qin Lin. According to the time, the news that the Yang family is besieged will soon reach the front line, and the Yang family on the front line will definitely cause some trouble. Chuaner is afraid that he will have to pass soon. Before, we had to convince Qin Lin to accompany Chuan'er to the front line."

Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong calmly discussing the situation with him, he almost habitually finished listening to Li Rong's words, and responded, "I have a lot of Qin Lin, but the one I'm most afraid of is Cui Qinghe... I'll see you tomorrow at Jiulu Mountain. It depends on the situation, don't worry."

"Yeah." Li Rong got this, flipped through the ledger and said, "Go to sleep. I'll call you later when I get to the Princess Palace."

Seeing that Li Rong didn't want to talk anymore, Pei Wenxuan didn't say any more. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, he didn't know what to do, but he dreamed that he was in Luzhou during the three years of filial piety. At that time, although he did not have an official position, he was handsome. During the warm days, he brought a pot of wine and a flute with him. , go down by boat, find a shady place, sleep on the lake for an afternoon, and when you come back, take some lotus seeds, and give them to children when you meet them on the way. If the lotus flower is in full bloom, I will bring a lotus flower and give it to the little girl I met on the road that day.

He couldn't help laughing in the dream, and then he heard the fireworks blooming in the dream, and then the eighteen-year-old Li Rong, dressed in the costume of a Persian dancer, with a veil, mixed in the crowd, and followed those people to learn move.

She has a slender waist and is as agile as a snake. When she moves, the sequins hanging around her waist sway gently, sketching out a kind of seductive seductiveness. Her eyes are bright, and she looks at him through the crowd, even if it is half-covered. He opened his face, but he could also see the cat-like proud and smart smile.

He looked at the girl from a distance across the crowd, and couldn't help laughing.

The girl didn't know what to do, so she walked up to him. She was wearing his clothes and looked at him with a smile.

"Pei Wenxuan." She called his name, and when she finished, she didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Then a young man appeared beside her. The man had a gentle expression and stood quietly with her. He had the same eyebrows and eyes as Pei Wenxuan, but a completely different temperament.

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong laughed, "I'm leaving."

Saying that, Li Ronghe held hands, his figure slowly melted away, and Pei Wenxuan vaguely heard someone calling him: "Master Pei? Young Master Pei? Pei Wenxuan? Pei Dog!"

Pei Wenxuan slowly opened his eyes in this call, saw Li Rong looking down at him, patted his face and said, "Are you dizzy or asleep? Hurry up and go."

Pei Wenxuan was in a trance, he nodded calmly, and got up slowly.

Li Rong looked at him and saw that he was awake, and said, "I'll go down first, you slow down."

After saying that, Li Rong got out of the carriage, and Pei Wenxuan paused for a while, then got up and got off the carriage.

Then the two raised their heads and saw the plaque of the Princess Mansion.

This is the place where they have lived for many years, and both of them are familiar with each other, but after returning from life and death, and standing in front of the door again, they have a sense of vicissitudes that are difficult to support.

The two looked at each other, and Li Rong smiled: "I'm back."

Pei Wenxuan also smiled. He lowered his head and said gently, "Go in."

Li Rong rarely came to the Princess Mansion. When she came, the entire Princess Mansion immediately turned on the lights and became noisy.

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan went to the backyard together, and Pei Wenxuan was assigned to another room. Pei Wenxuan looked at this familiar and unfamiliar place, and listened to Li Rong's skillful instructions: "Plant a peach tree here, and the one over there. The red maple was moved to the East Garden, and the incense in the house was replaced with the freesia wood of the Luo family, and the vase…”

Li Rong planned to change a lot of places. She walked all the way to the door of the backyard, and the attendant said to Pei Wenxuan, "Young master, please."

Pei Wenxuan nodded, and he said goodbye to Li Rong: "His Royal Highness, Wei Chen goes to rest first."

"Okay," Li Rong nodded casually, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "And that rose over there..."

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan turned back and walked on the corridor. He looked at the moonlight falling on the corridor, and listened to Li Rong's chattering voice. He took a few steps and then stopped. He turned around and saw Li Rong. He was still wearing the dancer's clothes and his robe, but he was very imposing instructing people.

That look is a lot different from when she was young, and it doesn't seem to be any different.

Pei Wenxuan watched quietly for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh.

He suddenly said, "Your Highness!"

Li Rong turned around and saw Pei Wenxuan standing in the corridor.

He looked at her and suddenly said, "Actually, your outfit is pretty good too."

Li Rong was stunned for a while after hearing this, and saw Pei Wenxuan put his hands in front of him, bowed, and said gently, "Your Highness, sleep well."

At that moment, Li Rong was in a trance for a moment, feeling as if she saw Pei Wenxuan, who was 20 years old, but she didn't.

She couldn't help but patted her face lightly.

"I have to go to bed early."

She murmured.
