I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

Chapter 20 Princess Shu is Here

I said, "Sister Banyan, when did you and I become so divided?" Liu Banyan smiled and said, "Where is the relationship?" chill.

"Sister Banyan has never called me 'Young Master' before." Liu Banyan got up and walked to the recliner covered with a layer of white goose down: "Time is changing, and people's hearts are also changing, so the address can naturally change. The past is the past. , now is now, how can it be the same?"

"But what did I do wrong, to offend Sister Banyan?" I froze for a moment, even though time and people's hearts were changing, it was impossible to become so strange in just a few months. "Don't say that." Liu Banyan pulled up her skirt to cover her exposed slender legs.She held her forehead with one hand, looking very lazy: "Second Master Dai, you did nothing wrong, and you didn't offend me. On the contrary, I was lukewarm to you before, and I hope you don't take it to heart."

Liu Banyan's words became more and more eccentric, and I was completely lost in my hearing.After a long silence, I had no choice but to turn around and ask about Yi'an's whereabouts: "Sister Banyan, do you have any news about my brother Yi'an?" Did Liu Banyan's expression change: "He is your brother, you don't even know, I'm Of course I don't know."

"Yi'an cares about Sister Banyan the most, he..." Liu Banyan broke out suddenly and stopped me, "You are not replacing Yi'an, how do you know who he cares about!" She looked very annoyed. "It's getting late, Second Young Master Dai should go back quickly. I'm sleepy too, I want to rest." Liu Banyan got up and walked to the soft bed behind the screen, and I said: "Excuse me, I'm sorry. Sister Banyan please pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."

Liu Banyan didn't make a sound, I left Zuixiang Tower, and walked back with the lantern.When walking back to Yifu, it was already daylight.When I turned into the courtyard where I lived, I ran into Wen Lan. He took the lantern in my hand, and immediately ordered others to boil a bucket of hot water.After soaking in a hot bath for a quarter of an hour, my body became much warmer.After eating breakfast and drinking soup, I lay on the bed thinking about Liu Banyan, Yi'an and Yichun.

Wen Lan came into the house to change the hand warmer for me a few times, and every time he would ask me how I was doing?Do you feel cold?Every time I answer: "It's okay, it's not cold." This day is finally over.At night, I dreamed again.I dreamed that I fell into an ice cave. The water inside was very cold and biting. I was so cold that I shivered and couldn't straighten up.

I heard someone calling me, like Wen Lan, also like Yi Xuan, more like Yi An.I tried to open my mouth to agree to him, but there was no sound in my throat.I smelled the familiar smell of medicine. In my dream, I kept calling Yi'an, and I cried and called him, but he never appeared.

When I woke up, Wen Lan told me that I slept for three full days.There was no strength in his body, and his mouth was bitter, "Wen Lan, what day is it today?" Wen Lan replied softly, "Today is Lantern Festival."

"Yuanxiao." I rolled my eyes a little to make myself look like a living thing, "It's a pity that I can't see the lantern festival." I still remember the scene of Yuanxiao, Yi'an, and Yichun watching the lantern festival last year. There is no news about Chun He Yi'an, as he was born as a human being, it is true that the world is impermanent.

Wen Lan said: "The Lantern Festival is held every year. It's not too late to see it next year. You don't have to regret it, Mr. Qiu." I sighed, and Wen Lan fed me two glasses of warm water.The servant brought clear porridge, and Wen Lan fed me another half bowl. "Has the snow outside melted yet?"

"Not yet." After sleeping for a few days, it was only now that Wen Lan noticed that Wen Lan seemed to be haggard a lot.It's right to think about it, with me as a sick child, Wen Lan will definitely not be able to stay idle.During the past few days of my illness, I don't know how tired he has been.At present, it seems that Yi Xuan has been away for more than half a month, and I don't know how he is doing now.

"Yi Xuan won't come back in more than ten days, right?" His body is getting worse and worse, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to wait for him to turn around this time. "If the matter in the old capital is handled smoothly, the young master should come back early." Wen Lan stood upright, although his face was haggard, he still did not lose his heroic spirit.

"Wenlan, why did Yi Xuan have gray hair when he was young?" I have been curious since the first time I saw Yi Xuan on Tongzi Street.Thinking of him as a son of a rich family, logically speaking, he should have no worries, but for some reason, he has lost his youthful hair.Wen Lan hesitated for a moment before saying: "Master, he is ashamed. He has been regretting and blaming himself for an incident many years ago. He drank his sorrows with wine all day long, sad and painful all day long, day after day, month after month, year after year. Sorrow kills the boy's head, and the boy's head turns white with bitterness."

I never thought that Yi Xuan had such a past.I have been melancholy for one thing for many years, and thinking about it, it has become a pain in Yi Xuan's heart, just like the scars on my body, which can never be wiped clean.Since it was pain and sadness that I didn't want to mention, I stopped asking and chose another topic. "Wen Lan, can I trouble you to tell me about the old capital?"

"What does Mr. Yiqiu want to hear?" Wen Lan just seemed to smile. "Just talk about it casually." I have spent my whole life wandering around Wanzhou City, and I have never been to other places.Or the lingering of the gentle water town, or the magnificence of the sea in the east, or the majesty of the desert in the west.I wanted to go, and Yi'an promised to go with me, but my body didn't suit me.

"Then let me talk about the general situation of the old capital first. The old capital is not called the imperial city, it is the residence of the emperor. The city is prosperous, and most of the officials and merchants live in the imperial court. Most of the important officials in the court live in the Wenchang area; wealthy businessmen and gentry occupy the Shunzhou area; Yiyong area It is the residence of princes and grandchildren."

"Because the trade is prosperous, connecting the north and the south, and reaching the east and west, so you can often meet many foreigners in the old capital. These foreigners speak not-so-fluent Chinese, sell the goods brought in, and then buy tea from the ancient capital. , silk, treasures, medicinal materials and other things back to their own tribe."

Wen Lan spoke patiently, and I listened carefully, asking a few questions from time to time.No matter how vivid Wen Lan's words are, I can't imagine the prosperity of the old capital.

When the time came, the servant brought ginseng soup, and after I drank it, I asked Wen Lan to go down to rest.Lying on the bed, hugging the hand warmer, I was thinking of Yi An and Yi Xuan, and my heart could never be at peace.

I really can't stand the ravages of the cold as a sick person, as soon as I go out, my body feels as if I've fallen into icy water, shivering from the cold.My body couldn't bear the cold, so I had to lie on the bed.Only when Wen Lan enters the house and opens the window for me to breathe, can I see the scenery outside the house.Every time the window is opened, the snow outside the window will decrease, the tiles on the roof will show their original colors, and the vegetation will straighten up.

I broke my trust with Yi Xuan last time, and this time Yi Xuan broke his trust with me, so we are even.Three days after three days, three days after three days.Waiting for the warm spring breeze, waiting for the new shoots of willow branches, but still not waiting for the person I was looking forward to.

At night, I fell into a drowsy sleep, and vaguely felt a warmth spread from my waist and abdomen, slowly wrapping my body.A touch of sandalwood lingers on the tip of my nose, and the most provocative thing is the snort in my ears.Time seemed to stand still for a second, and I suddenly woke up, and all the drowsiness disappeared instantly.

I turned my face away, and my eyes dimly watched.Yi Xuan said: "Yiqiu, I'm sorry, I'm late." I turned over and plunged into Yi Xuan's arms: "It's not too late, it's not yet dawn." Finally, I caught the familiar warmth.

Yi Xuan pinched my long hair on the forehead, "The snow outside the house has already melted." I hummed: "Wait next year." Yi Xuan hugged me tightly and murmured a few words.I slept very peacefully that night.

The winter is gone, and the spring breeze blows, and the peanuts in the yard give birth to many flower buds.I also gradually took off those thick jackets and put on spring clothes.The day was warm and sunny, sunny and windy, Yi Xuan brought a kite and led me out of the city.Yi Xuan chose a good place outside the city, where the grass is green and the trees are green, and the Yueqing River meanders by.The kite slowly lifted into the sky, I took the kite, Yi Xuan's palm pressed against the back of my hand, pulling and loosening, the kite flew farther and farther.I saw Wen Lan sitting in the carriage, he seemed to be looking at us and smiling.

Facing the rising sun, returning with the sunset.Yi Xuan helped me out of the carriage, and just as I walked to the gate of the mansion, a servant looked distressed, and Shi Li called out: "My lord, Princess Shu is here."

Princess Shu, princess?When I was suspicious, Yi Xuan turned his face and said softly to me: "Yiqiu, go back and rest first." His expression probably changed a little, and I suddenly understood something.Yi Xuan intentionally pushed me away, so I followed his will and detoured through the side corridor.Wen Lan followed me slowly, and before I had taken a few steps, I heard a shrill female voice: "My lord, when did you change this surname? If the emperor finds out, I'm afraid they will be arrested again." Let me talk to you."

I seem to have heard this voice somewhere.An invisible force held me back, making me unable to move my legs for a long time.That Princess Shu said in a sharp voice again: "Wen Lan, although you obey the lord, I am your master after all. Haven't seen you for a while, have you even forgotten the basic rules?!"

This Concubine Shu's voice is gentle, but the imposing manner in and out of the words is very captivating, I feel faintly bad in my heart.Wen Lan turned around, gave a salute, and said respectfully: "Wen Lan is rude, please forgive me, princess." The footsteps approached: "Hey, who is this? Dressed in plain and elegant, looking down Like a person!"

"Xia Nianzhen, enough is enough." In just seven words, deterrence and anger were applied at the same time, and the gentleness of the past disappeared.For a moment, I felt that Yi Xuan had changed.I turned around, and when that Princess Shu saw my face, her charming face instantly lost color, her brows and eyes were filled with astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost, yes, my face is no different from a ghost.
