In the following period of time, Wen Xing kept repeating the days of running back and forth between the General's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.But less than half a year after Wen Xing practiced martial arts, another general in the court returned to the court, and Xie Lian was ordered to go to that general's place.

Wen Yu let Wen Xing continue to study with him in order to prevent his father from knowing about Wen Xing's martial arts practice.And Wen Xing gradually let go of his awe of Wen Yu, and occasionally dared to make a few jokes.

In the past few years, because of Wen Xing's deliberate alienation and Xie Yi's forced indifference, although the relationship between the two is not as stranger as in the previous life, it is still like a thick barrier.

It wasn't until five years later that a big man suddenly appeared and forcibly dug a crack.

-

In the twelfth lunar month of the 17th year of Anlong, the eldest princess Xie Wan, who had lived in Huguo Temple for a long time, suddenly decided to return to the palace.At the request of the eldest princess, Emperor Anlong agreed to go to the study to rest for a day, so that the eldest princess could maintain the relationship with the imperial brothers.

But Wen Xing, who was planning to rest at home for a day, received a decree from the palace - the eldest princess asked to summon him by name.

"The carriage is already waiting outside the mansion, Second Young Master Wen, please." It was the eunuch named Fu Lu beside Xie Yi who came to deliver the message.

Wen Xing, who has just reached the age of curly hair, has lost his youthful and childish appearance, and his stretched facial features are more delicate and handsome, but he does not have the spirit of a boy of his age, on the contrary, he is more peaceful and stable.

His brows were lightly drawn together, feeling very strange about this sudden summon.

The eldest princess had also returned to the palace in the previous life, but Wen Xing had never seen her once until she passed away, why did he suddenly summon him?

But Wen Xing did not dare to resist the order, and after a little hesitation, he followed Fu Lu into the palace.

The eldest princess has been weak and sick since she was a child. Except for the hot summer, she usually stays in the warm pavilion.At the same time, she should not have too much contact with people, including slaves.

So when Wen Xing arrived, the whole Nuan Pavilion was nothing more than Xie Wan, Xie Yi and one or two maids waiting by the door.

"My minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess."

Wen Xing glanced at Xie Yi calmly, and immediately realized that the intention this time was probably conveyed by Xie Yi - Xie Wan and Xie Yi were both born of the queen, and their relationship was very deep.Most of Xie Yi's willful and reckless temperament when he was young is the result of Xie Wan's pet.But at the same time, Xie Wan taught Xie Yi many principles of being a king and being a human being.

It can even be said that Xie Wan is the founder of all Xie Yi's code of conduct.Even after Xie Wan went to Huguo Temple, the siblings still sent letters to each other.The close relationship between the two can be imagined.

Recalling the not-too-distant relationship with Xie Yi in the past five years, Wen Xing sighed helplessly in his heart - most likely Xie Yi asked Xie Wan to file a complaint.

In the previous life, he flattered Xie Yi and ignored him, so when Xie Wan returned to the palace, Xie Yi probably didn't even remember him as a character.This life is different. In this life, Xie Yi once hinted to him that he likes him, but he dismissed it as incomprehensible.

According to the current capricious temperament of the little prince, he will definitely feel dissatisfied.

"You are Wen Xing, the young master of the Wen family?" Xie Wan's soft voice slowly entered Wen Xing's ears.

He lowered his head, knelt on the ground upright, and replied, "It's the humble minister."

"It doesn't look like a child..." Xie Wan's sigh-like words lingered in Wen Xing's ears.

He was taken aback suddenly.

For a moment, he had the feeling that the eldest princess saw through his rebirth.But soon he rejected this inexplicable idea.

From the corner of Wen Xing's eyes, he caught a glimpse of gouache appearing in his sight, and then heard a sentence from above his head: "Okay, get up."

"His Royal Highness, Princess Xie." Wen Xing replied respectfully, Shi Shiran stood up from the ground, but still lowered his head.

"Don't be afraid, raise your head." Xie Wan's gentle voice seemed to have magic power, Wen Xing couldn't help raising her head, and bumped into a pair of black eyes.

Xie Wan's face was pale because of her frail body, but her obsidian-like eyes could be set off by the skirt.There was a gentle smile in those eyes, and it seemed to be able to see through everything.

Wen Xing was startled, he hurriedly took a step back, bowed and said: "My minister is rude, I hope the princess will forgive me."

Xie Wan sat on the chair dignifiedly, and said softly: "It's okay. Yi'er, you go down first, I have something to talk to Young Master Wen about."

As soon as these words came out, both Wen Xing and Xie Yi were stunned.

But Wen Xing quickly restrained his emotions, but Xie Yi directly asked dissatisfiedly: "Why do you want me to go down? Can't I listen?"

"That's right." Xie Wan smiled, and rubbed the ends of Xie Yi's hair, "Go and play with Lian'er first. Be good."

"Okay." Xie Yi replied muffledly with his mouth puffed out, and after squinting at Wen Xing, he went out obediently.

Only the eldest princess can control him.Wen Xing sighed in his heart, and then Xie Wan asked him to sit on the other chair.

Wen Xing walked over obediently, but before he could sit still, he was so frightened by Xie Wan's words that he almost jumped up.

"You don't like clothes, do you?"

He didn't know much about Xie Wan, so he wasn't sure what she meant, and after a moment of consideration, he said cautiously: "His Royal Highness is a noble person, and it's not something a small person like a humble minister can climb up to."

Xie Wan took a sip of the tea, with a smile on her lips, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. You should know the reason why the emperor called you to be a reading companion, right?"

If the previous question Wen Xing could still be regarded as Xie Yi's complaint, this time it's really not that simple.He remained silent and didn't speak, fearing that what he said would make too many mistakes.

Fortunately, Xie Wan didn't intend to ask him to answer, and continued: "However, anyone who cares about the emperor's intentions can probably see it. I am just surprised that you are so young and have a lot of eyes."

Wen Xing remained silent.

Xie Wan didn't dwell on this topic anymore, instead she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Yi'er always complains to Bengong that you like Lian'er more than him."

Wen Xing pretended to be surprised, and said: "I just feel that I have more common hobbies with His Highness the Second Prince, so they get along better. I didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding by His Royal Highness. It's because of my negligence."

Xie Wan was noncommittal to Wen Xing's statement, and sighed faintly. "Actually, it's not easy for Yi'er. What he longs for the most is just one or two true friends. It's a pity that he was born in the emperor's family, so he can't even realize this little wish."

Wen Xing heard Xie Wan's subtext, but still pretended not to understand, and asked, "Isn't there often children from aristocratic families who come to look for His Highness the Crown Prince? How come there are no friends?"

"If I were to believe that you were ignorant when we first met," Xie Wan smiled lightly and shook her head, "You are so mature and stable at such an age, you must not be ignorant of the reason. Don't pretend, Ben Since Gong has removed the clothes on purpose, he will not do anything against you."

The words have been pointed out to this point, Wen Xing can't continue to pretend, shut up and don't speak.

"I'm not going to play tricks on you anymore," Xie Wan stood up, and walked slowly in front of Wen Xing, "I have a deal, I wonder if you're willing to do it?"

Wen Xing raised his head, looked directly at Xie Wan, and replied, "I would like to hear more about it."

Although Xie Wan is weak, she is the eldest princess after all, just standing dignifiedly in front of Wen Xing will give him a sense of oppression.But now that the mask had been torn off, Wen Xing was not to be outdone, and looked back at her calmly, with peace in his eyes.

Xie Wan smiled slightly, and said: "You make friends with Yi'er—whether it's true or not, and I will help you to be released smoothly in the future."

Repatriation means that after the prince left the teacher, his accompanying students returned home, and half a year later he resumed his post with his ability to show a neutral position.

Wen Xing raised his eyebrows lightly, obviously he didn't really believe in Xie Wan's so-called "deal".

As long as he pretends to be friendly with Xie Yi, he will be able to achieve the release he dreamed of in the future, and he dare not believe such a thing like a pie in the sky.

Xie Wan saw his doubts, turned around and walked to a pot of azaleas in full bloom on the other side, plucking the leaves of the azaleas with one hand, and said: "The clothes are still small now, and I don't know how many people in the court are staring at him. Every move. He has expressed his appreciation for you in letters several times, but he can't take the initiative to show kindness. And I think that as a sister, I can only help him here before I die."

Xie Wan said the last sentence very flatly, as if the person who was about to die was not her.

Xie Wan passed away probably a few months later in his previous life. Wen Xing didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only continue the topic just now: "Although His Royal Highness is young, he is not stupid. He cannot be deceived by false feelings. Your Highness, do you have any questions?" It’s better to speak straight.”

Xie Wan pinched her two fingers, and the delicate green leaf immediately bent her waist.She smiled lightly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. Indeed, Yi'er looks small, but he also looks like a mirror in his heart. A large part of the reason why he admires you is that you are of high value to him. After all, he is Once the crown prince, if he is alone and helpless, let alone inherit the great rule in the future, it will be difficult for him to live to the crown."

"And you," Xie Wan suddenly turned to Wen Xing, "as a companion, you are the most suitable to develop into a part of his power. As long as you are willing to assist him to become a teacher, I can give you a letter written by myself , to help you be released in the future—I think releasing is a good way to change your position, isn’t it?”

I have to say, compared to risking disrespect to the prince to seek release now, the idea proposed by Xie Wan moved Wen Xing even more.

But he still maintained his due vigilance and said: "The fact that I and His Highness the Crown Prince are indifferent to each other must be known to those who really want to. And I suddenly showed my favor to His Highness the Crown Prince, isn't that too abrupt? "

"Don't worry." Xie Wan said with a smile, "You don't have to do this now. As long as you appear by Yi'er's side on the day I die, then everything that follows will not be abrupt."

Wen Xing lowered his eyes to cover the slight struggle in his eyes, after a moment of silence, he finally let out a long breath, raised his head to look at Xie Wan firmly, and said, "Okay."

It's just using each other for more than ten years, which is the best choice for him.
