I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it." I've never said anything to death, and I always like to leave a step.Yi Xuan held my hand, looking melancholy, "Yiqiu, do you still remember that old friend I mentioned when we first met?"

"I remember. You said that the qin in my hand is very similar to his qin, and that "Guan Qiu Ci" was also written by him." I paused for a while, and then said: "Is he Ling Dan?"

Yi Xuan nodded, feeling very helpless. "Ling Dan is the third son of the great general Ling Qianxi. Because he was born on the same day as me, the emperor called him into the palace to be my playmate and go to school with me. Ling Dan is very smart. He is good at phonology, and loves playing the qin the most. The Taifu often praises him and asks me to learn more from him, but I am really not interested in those poems and books. When we were 12 years old, The Ling family committed crimes and was slaughtered by the entire family. Only Ling Dan survived. Since Ling Dan's family was beheaded, he has become taciturn, often shut himself in the room, and was despised by my other brothers when he went to school. Gradually, he stopped going to school."

Hearing half of the story was extremely uncomfortable, and I couldn't help asking, "What about later?" Yi Xuan squeezed my hand tightly, "He left eight years later, without leaving a word, only took a Zhang Changqin." Tears welled up in Yi Xuan's eyes: "I searched all the places he might go, but I didn't find any trace of him."

"Maybe he has some difficulties. He can't let go of the 20-year relationship so easily." What Wen Lan said earlier should refer to this matter.Yi Xuan just murmured: "It's my fault, it's all my fault." He didn't continue to talk, and seeing him so sad, I didn't continue to ask.Because of Ling Dan's young age and gray hair, Yi Xuan can see Ling Dan's position in Yi Xuan's heart.

After hearing about Ling Dan, I couldn't sleep more at night.In the middle of the night, it began to rain, pattering, and the sound was particularly melancholy.In the second half of the night, half dreaming and half awake, after tossing and turning for a long time, I finally stayed up until dawn.Just after washing, the little girl who cried and pleaded with Yi Xuan for Xia Nianzhen that day bowed to me at the door: "My lord, I am the princess' dowry girl Qian Luo."

When I reached the door, Qian Luo said: "Master Dai, the princess invites you to have breakfast together." I was startled in my heart, thinking it was not a good thing.When I was about to say no, Qian Luo's mouth twitched into a faint smile: "Mr. Dai, the concubine's love has already been opened. If you don't go, it will be bad news, right? People in the know know that you are shy. I don’t want to see my princess, if I were someone who didn’t know, I’m afraid I’m going to say what my princess has done to you.” Qian Luo’s voice was gentle, and the smile on his face was also very bright: “Besides, if the prince takes you back to the old capital , from now on we still have to live under the same roof as our princess."

The girl next to the concubine is different, she has such a good mouth, she presses me down and belittles me every sentence.After saying such a big deal, Qian Luo didn't see the slightest panting, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became more colorful, and there was a knife hidden in the smile, which was probably just like her.I thought about it for a moment, stepped out, and tried to raise my voice, "Please ask Miss Qianluo to lead the way."

There was a wave on Qianluo's face that didn't match her smile. She led the way, and I followed closely.The rain kept falling, and the raindrops fell from the house feathers in a continuous line. The trees shook in the wind and rain, and the branches and leaves fell to the ground.Inadvertently, I am just like the fallen leaves all over the ground.

After passing through four long corridors and turning seven or eight corners, Qian Luo led me to the central hall.Xia Nian is really in the top position, Zhu Cui and Jin Chang make her more charming.Her posture was a little arrogant, she squinted at me, and the four little girls stood behind Xia Nianzhen with their heads slightly lowered.Xia Nianzhen said: "A few days ago I spoke more bluntly, and I thought Mr. Dai would not give me face today."

I saluted Xia Nianzhen: "Princess Shu is worrying too much." Xia Nianzhen's eyes showed a trace of disgust and disgust, and she waved her sleeves: "Sit down." A girl moved a stool to the table, and I Go to the table and sit carefully.

The table is full of vegetables and food, porridge, vegetables, pastries, fruits and other items are all available. Usually, when eating with Yi Xuan, I feel that the food is too extravagant. This time, this table is three times better than Yi Xuan.The little girl put a bowl of porridge lightly in front of me, Xia Nianzhen said: "Master Dai, don't be so cautious, you follow Ziyi, we will have more time to eat at the same table like this in the future."

I felt flustered and very uncomfortable when I heard that.Xia Nianzhen saw that I took the chopsticks for a long time, and said again: "Young Master Dai thinks I'm ugly, it's so disgusting that you lose your appetite to eat?"

"Don't dare." I suppressed the unhappiness in my heart and tried my best to put on a relaxed appearance.These self-deprecating remarks are all aimed at me, Xia Nianzhen is so eloquent, no wonder Qian Luo speaks so well.

I picked up a spoon to scoop up some porridge and brought it to my mouth, Xia Nianzhen didn't move her chopsticks, just sat and looked at me.I didn't care what she was planning, I just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly.It was only after I took the third bite that I saw worms wriggling in the white rice porridge.The white worms were big and small, and their writhing bodies in the porridge made me sick for a while, and spit out the porridge that I didn't have time to swallow.

Qian Luo said: "Master Dai, you really don't take Princess Shu seriously by doing this! The princess is kind-hearted, and she specially made the porridge prepared for you, how can you spit it out halfway through eating it!" Qian Luo said. Luo Na's eyeballs were especially wide open, and I was really afraid that the eyeballs would fall out in the middle of her speech.

I tried my best to calm down, but when I saw the wriggling worms in the bowl, I felt nauseous. Thinking that I might have accidentally swallowed some, I retched again.Xia Nianzhen calmed down and straightened his temples: "Forget it, Mr. Dai, if you don't want to eat, just withdraw it, and I will do it when I feel like it."

Qian Luo winked, and the little girl standing behind me stepped forward and took the bowl of porridge away.Xia Nianzhen looked at me: "I heard that Mr. Dai also has an older brother who is a doctor and a younger brother who is an idiot. After living in the mansion for a few days, I haven't seen them at all. Could it be that after Mr. Dai gained power, his six relatives were disowned?"

I wiped the remaining stains from the corners of my mouth, feeling resentful.Just belittle me, why scold Yichun again!He is just a little bit stupid, how could he put the word "scumbag" on his head.I was so angry that my heart was stuffy, and I said bluntly: "Princess Shu is so free to care about my family affairs, why not think about how to win Yi Xuan's favor."

Qian Luo immediately pointed at my nose and scolded: "Dai Yiqiu, are you tired of working?! How dare you interfere in the matter of the prince and princess!" Xia Nianzhen's face changed, but he did not explode like Qian Luo.I looked at the corners of Qian Luo's mouth, and felt that she was as disgusting as that bug just now.

Xia Nianzhen said: "Young Master Dai is wrong. Others are wives who try their best to please their husbands, but I am exactly the opposite with him. In the court hall, the emperor gave my father three points, but in this room, Li Ziyi has to respect you." I get three points."

I don't know anything about the imperial court; I don't know anything about Yi Xuan and her.Now that I have torn my face, I don't need to deal with Xia Nianzhen anymore, it doesn't matter if she wants to punish me or harm me, it's just a loss of life.I got up and said: "Thank you, Princess Shu, for the meal. I'm full, so I'll take my leave first."

As soon as I turned around and took a step, Xia Nianzhen said again: "It will be Qingming in two days, Mr. Dai is not planning to go back to sweep the tomb, pay homage to the ancestors or something?" Her words became more and more strange.

I replied, "You don't need to worry about the princess, I will bring paper wax to pay respects to the ancestors at the tomb." This is really for the sake of face, I don't even know where the tombs of my parents are. , Yi An went back to his hometown to visit the grave alone, and Yi Chun and I stayed at the pharmacy.

Xia Nianzhen seemed to sneer: "I'm afraid Mr. Dai is too busy alone? Even if you don't count your own pile, there are still two hundred and eight piles of graves there~"

Suddenly, I felt a bolt from the blue hit me, I was stunned, and my body froze for a moment.Something in the depths of my memory began to stir, and my thoughts were confused for a moment.Xia Nianzhen's short sentence pushed me into an abyss filled with clouds and mist.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Yi Xuan and Wen Lan appeared at the door.Yi Xuan looked anxious, looked at me, then glared at Xia Nianzhen who was behind me.Xia Nianzhen said in a playful voice: "I just invited Mr. Dai to come over for breakfast. I have no other thoughts. You don't have to stare at me like this."

Yi Xuan pulled me back and asked, "Yiqiu, did she do anything to you?"

Considering the overall situation, I shook my head and said, "No, Princess Shu just asked me to come over for dinner."

"It's just that Mr. Dai is very shy. Seeing that you are not here, he refuses to eat." Xia Nianzhen flicked his sleeves, looking a little unhappy, and his tone was a bit strange: "My lord, since you are here, let's sit down and eat together. It's not too late to go."

"You can eat by yourself." Yi Xuan left such a sentence, and led me out of the middle hall.Wen Lan followed quickly, and within a few steps I heard the sound of dishes breaking from the hall.I deliberately glanced at Yi Xuan, his indifferent face seemed to be a little angry, I stopped, and Yi Xuan turned his face away: "What's wrong?"

Yi Xuan saw that my expression was wrong, and I didn't speak for a long time, so he asked: "Did Xia Nianzhen tell you something?" Looking at it at this moment, Yi Xuan's gentle eyes were full of suspicion and hatred.

I hesitated for a moment, shook my head and said, "I didn't say anything." Yi Xuan frowned, obviously, he didn't believe what I said.I saluted Yi Xuan and went back to Liuwen Pavilion on my own, but Yi Xuan didn't follow.Later, I heard from the servant who brought me tea that Yi Xuan lost his temper in the middle hall and quarreled with Xia Nianzhen again. The word "Ling Dan" and the two hundred and eight piles of graves in Xia Nianzhen's mouth can't get rid of in my mind. If Yi Xuan makes such a fuss again, I believe more and more that everything in it is not simple.

After I had lunch alone in the room, Yi Xuan came.His complexion is still not good. From the look on his face, I can probably guess how big his temper was this morning.Yi Xuan forced a smile on his face and exchanged a few words with me, and I answered him without saying a word.He sat in my room for about an hour, probably because I didn't say much, the atmosphere in the room was terribly weird, so Yi Xuan left with an excuse.
