"If speaking is not more valuable than silence, I don't like to talk."

When Pei Yuanzhen heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "You mean, what I said is all nonsense?!"

Liu Qinghan glanced at her and shook his head lightly: "No, the common man just said that he doesn't want to talk now."

After saying that, his face showed heavy weariness, he bowed to Pei Yuanzhen and said: "Eldest Princess, please help yourself, the common people will leave first." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the garden gate of the backyard.<

/p>

I held the garden gate and forgot to leave for a moment. I just stood there stupidly until he came over and bumped into me head-on. I was stunned for a moment.

When the two people saw each other, their breathing seemed to be messed up.

I looked at his increasingly clear outline in the night, as well as the glistening cold dew between his eyebrows, and felt that the heat in my chest was as if it was going to burn me.

"Light..."

Her lips moved, and she was about to call his name, but before she could speak, she saw him straighten his back.

Suddenly, the cold dew dripped down from the center of my eyebrows, taking away the last bit of light.

His eyes almost blended into the night, so dark that no fluctuation could be seen. He bowed towards me and bowed politely: "Master Yue."

The word "cold" stuck in my throat.

I was speechless and looked at him stupidly, like a statue without life or even warmth. He seemed to look at me again, but he was no longer in the mood to speak anymore. He nodded slightly.

With the cold water vapor all over his body and his heavy breathing, he walked past me so cleanly.

A gust of wind blew up and cooled my chest.

I seemed to have been hit hard by something, and I staggered a little. I turned my head subconsciously——

"Light——"

In the night, his back was tall but cold. He didn't look back. He strode away without waiting for me to say anything.

I stood there, as if I were standing in a world of ice and snow, so cold that I forgot all consciousness.

I don’t know how long it took, but I turned around blankly and looked into the bamboo forest.

Pei Yuanzhen was still standing there, as if she was lost in thought. After a while, she reached out her hand and caught the last drop of crystal dew. It was reflected by the moonlight like a clear crystal. Holding it in her hand, she seemed to have something.

Thinking.

The next morning, Pei Yuanhao ordered to set off back to the palace.

When Nian Shen came to me happily, he was startled by my red eyes and gloomy face. I just smiled and took him out.

At the entrance of the annex, the convoy returning to the palace had been prepared for a long time, and I looked around. The number of guards seemed to have increased a lot, and each of them looked solemn and looked around with alert eyes, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

Thinking back to those two teams last night, I felt silent in my heart.

Pei Yuanzhen was also standing at the door, looking at the guards, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly he heard a noise here, turned around and saw us, showed a faint smile, and ran over with deep thoughts: "Huang Gu!"

Pei Yuanzhen picked him up and said, "Oh, my lord, your highness has become so fat that the emperor can no longer hold him."

Nian Shen giggled in her arms.

I was a little surprised when I saw this scene.

I thought Pei Yuanzhen was cold to the people in the harem, but I didn't expect her to be so affectionate with Nian Shen. I walked over and gave her a gentle blessing: "Meet the eldest princess."

"Master Yue." Pei Yuanzhen looked at me and said with a smile: "So you are here too."

"I'm sorry."

"Master Yue is really very popular. He is either helping the queen in Jingren Palace or traveling with the emperor. It seems that you are indispensable everywhere."

"..."

I usually just listen to these words when I hear them, but today for some reason, they were a bit harsh and I looked up at her.

Pei Yuanzhen was also startled when he met my gaze.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming from behind. The guards had already knelt down and said, "Meet the Emperor."

It was Pei Yuanhao. He and Liu Li walked out together. I swallowed the words in my throat and knelt down with Pei Yuanzhen and Nian Shen.

Pei Yuanhao glanced at us and just waved. At that moment, Liu Qinghan came over from the west wing supporting Fu Badai.

When the two masters and apprentices came out, Fu Badai seemed to have been talking to him. Liu Qinghan only nodded silently and listened without saying a word. But at a glance, I saw his sad face and his eyes were a little black.

shadow.

He didn't seem to sleep well either.

When they got closer, I faintly heard Fu Badai say: "Every drink and peck are decided in advance. You should make plans in the morning."

Liu Qinghan didn't speak, but pursed his lips slightly.

As soon as I saw them coming out, I immediately felt Pei Yuanhao glance at me.

I understood what he meant. He didn't like the way I looked at Liu Qinghan. He wanted me to control myself - I bit my lower lip and lowered my eyes.

Even so, I can still see Liu Qinghan helping Fu Badai out. As soon as he saw the people at the door, he said something to Fu Badai, and the two of them came over to greet the emperor: "Meet the emperor, meet the concubines."

Madam, I have met the eldest princess."

Pei Yuanhao looked at Fu Badai with a smile: "Mr. Fu Da, are you still used to it?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious."

Pei Yuanhao took another look at Liu Qinghan's clothes and said with a half-smile, "Mr. Qinghan's clothes look familiar."

Nian Shen hurriedly walked over and said, "Go back to my father, I gave this to my senior brother."

"Oh?"

"My son was worried that my senior brother was afraid of the cold, so I asked Manager Yu to prepare clothes."

Liu Qinghan said to Nian Shen, "Your Highness, please worry."

Pei Yuanhao stood beside him and said with a smile: "It's rare for you brothers and sisters to be so harmonious when we meet for the first time. I'm jealous of you."

"...The Emperor is joking."

Pei Yuanhao smiled faintly and said nothing. He only waved his hand and turned around to get on the golden car parked in the queue. Liu Qinghan also helped Fu Badai out of the gate, passed me, and walked to where the guards were coming.

Beside the carriage.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at me.

I stood at the gate and felt that there had never been a morning so cold. It penetrated my heart. Even when Nian Shen came over to hold my hand, he could feel the coldness of my fingertips. He subconsciously looked at me: "Aunt Qing, what's wrong with you?"

?"

"..."

I was speechless and just looked at their backs as they walked to the carriage. Liu Qinghan was about to help Fu Badai get into the carriage, but the old man paused, sniffed the air, and said, "Why do you smell so much?"

The smell of ironware?"

Liu Qinghan looked around and said, "They are the emperor's guards. They all carry swords."

"Oh..." Fu Badai raised his gray eyebrows, and while holding on to the door frame and Liu Qinghan's hand, he got into the carriage. He said with a smile: "I heard the pouring rain at night, and I went to see the emperor's sword..."<

/p>

"..."

"This capital is interesting, interesting."

Liu Qinghan didn't speak. He only carefully helped him get into the carriage, and then he was about to get in. At this time, I suddenly felt Pei Yuanzhen beside me move, as if he wanted to say something, but Liu Qinghan quickly moved with great skill.

After getting on the carriage, she looked at the fallen curtain, her expression a little heavy, but she didn't say anything.

When she turned around and saw me looking at her, Pei Yuanzhen's face straightened: "Why are you looking at me?"

"..." I forced a smile: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, I hugged Nian Shen and got into the carriage. Pei Yuanzhen came here on horseback and followed the Holy Spirit on the way back. Of course, he couldn't do this, so he squeezed into a carriage with us.

It's crowded, but it's not crowded at all.

The carriage for the prince was certainly not small. It was not only spacious but also comfortable. It could accommodate three people, one large and one small, and it was big enough for little Nian Shen to crawl around and play in the carriage.

But, even though it felt crowded, I sat on one side of the carriage and looked at Pei Yuanzhen, who was always looking gloomy across from me. I felt like I was being squeezed so hard that I could even breathe. She didn’t seem to be in a good mood either, and from time to time she lifted up the girl next to her.

Looking out from the curtain, a trace of haze flashed in his eyes.

After a while, the convoy entered the bamboo forest.

The wind blew the fine dew and the fragrance of bamboo leaves into the carriage, which also lifted people's spirits. I looked at Pei Yuanzhen's side face looking out the window. His outline was very delicate, and there was a faint sense of nobility and arrogance between his eyebrows.

.

In fact, she is a very beautiful woman, not arrogant in temperament, and she was not raised in a boudoir. However, she has been staying in the boudoir all these years. Not only did no one come to propose marriage, but she herself seemed to have no one who knew her sincerely.

.

Is she really willing to stay like this?

I was still thinking about it, and Pei Yuanzhen's hair was blown by the wind. She casually reached out and stroked it, turned back to meet my eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you looking at me again?"
