The summer breeze came slowly, Gong Yu only felt that the sleep was extremely comfortable.

When she woke up in a daze, her eyes were bright and the bead curtain was shaking slightly. Gong Yu sat up, only to realize that she was still in the water pavilion.

The sun rose slightly, and the sun set obliquely in the pavilion. It was not hot at this time, but quite cool.

Dai Ruyan sat on a low desk beside her, holding a pen as if she was writing something, as if aware of Gong Yu's exploration, she tilted her head and smiled slightly: "It's almost lunch time, if you don't wake up, I won't wake up You are dying."

Gong Yu got up in embarrassment, straightened her robes and said, "It's not my fault, it's all because of Ayan's coolness here, suitable for sleeping."

"By the way, did I tell Ayan about the second sister's son-in-law last night?"

Dai Ruyan paused slightly and said, "What's the matter with Song Consort?"

Gong Yu clumsily fastened the belt with great difficulty, put on her robe, approached and said: "Last night I happened to meet that son-in-law of the Song Dynasty and hug her, it was very intimate."

"It's just this?" Dai Ruyan frowned slightly, and said disapprovingly: "According to the law of the palace, concubines can also take concubines, are you so curious?"

Er..., I am ignorant.

Gong Yuduan sat at the side, reached out and picked up the handkerchief at the side to wipe his face and said, "Could it be that Ayan wants to share the person she likes with others?"

Dai Ruyan raised her head slightly and responded: "Being a woman of the Dai family and love is just a fantasy, why bother."

"I don't care, I don't like it anyway." Gong Yu stepped barefoot on the floor covered with mats, and after a brief wash, she sat lazily aside.

The water droplets flowing down the cheeks wet the broken hair and the collar of the outer robe. Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with bright eyes, and said with a cute smile:

"Hey Ayan, tell me what kind do you like?"

"What do you want to do?" Dai Ruyan lowered his head slightly, looking at Gong Yu who was lying beside him regardless of his image, with a smile in his eyes, thinking that it really looked like a kitten.

Gong Yu blinked, rubbed her head slightly against Dai Ruyan's leg, looked up at Dai Ruyan and said, "I just want to listen, nothing else."

Dai Ruyan seemed to be lost in thought, and even forgot to put down the pen in his hand, the half-open curtain shook slightly, and even the hair on Dai Ruyan's cheeks fluttered along with it.

After waiting for a long time, Gong Yu didn't hear Dai Ruyan's answer, but saw that Dai Ruyan seemed to be in a daze, and when he happened to call her, he heard Dai Ruyan staring at Gong Yu seriously and said in a low voice:

"I never thought about it, so I don't know."

Gong Yu's cheeks became hot when she was watched, and she responded slightly in a daze: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry now."

Dai Ruyan put down her pen and lowered her head, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"It's normal for a woman to get married at fourteen, but if she hasn't betrothed at sixteen, someone will criticize her."

"It's other people's business to be reminded by others. Could it be that Ayan is also anxious to get married?" Gong Yu asked with blinking eyes.

"Of course I'm not in a hurry." Dai Ruyan took a close-fitting handkerchief and wiped away the still dripping water stains for Gong Yu and replied, "But I still have to wait for Xiaojiu or two years, maybe I'll be old by then." to be despised."

Gong Yu smiled and said cooperatingly: "A Yanmei's beauty is so beautiful, not to mention 26, even [-] is also beautiful."

Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's small face with his knuckles and raised the corners of his mouth, "Slick tongue, don't fool other little girls indiscriminately in the future, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan with cunning eyebrows.

"Then I'll divorce you." Dai Ruyan withdrew his hand, helped Gong Yu up, straightened Gong Yu's messy robe and said with a smile.

Gong Yu laughed out loud, never taking his eyes off Dai Ruyan's face for a moment, and replied clingingly: "Ayan, you are so fierce."

Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu helplessly and said in a low voice: "The war is probably coming to an end soon."

"Then this battle has been won?" Gong Yu stopped the joke just now and asked sitting upright.

Dai Ruyan shook his head and said: "Foreigners are good at fighting, especially good at sneak attacks. In the past half a year, the detours have caused the palace country to consume more than half of its national power. The emperor was shot by an arrow in the battlefield yesterday, and he is in danger."

Hearing this, Gong Yu probably knew why Dai Ruyan said that the battle was coming to an end.

The emperor was seriously ill and the battle could not be delayed, and a little carelessness might cause chaos in the seizure of power.

Gong Yu said calmly, "Then this war is probably about to be negotiated."

"En." Dai Ruyan took a sip of tea and said, "The news of the end of the war should be heard soon."

"But the peace talks are just a matter of paying money, doesn't it mean that the war for more than half a year has been in vain?"

"War is like this. The royal family will definitely let the foreign race withdraw from the territory for the sake of fame. The foreign race wants nothing more than real money."

Gong Yu drank the bitter tea sullenly, her eyes stopped on Dai Ruyan's expression when she said this, as if she was discussing the irrelevant tea taste.

It seems that the gentle Dai Ruyan and this cold and cruel Dai Ruyan are not the same person.

Traveling to Mangzhong, victories in distant wars were reported frequently, and the capital was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and everyone was smiling.

However, Gong Yu stayed in the mansion and never went out, her daily schedule was full of homework, and as she grew taller, she changed out of her clothes one by one.

The housekeeper was full of joy watching his little Highness's growth, but he didn't know that his favorite sweet food, yoghurt, hadn't tasted much recently.

In the waterside pavilion, Gong Yu is picking up a pen and practicing calligraphy, and papers are scattered on the mat. The sparkling light makes the pavilion very bright and quiet.

Gong Yu, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the low table with bare feet, didn't know that someone was approaching quietly, but felt a little itchy on her neck and stretched out her hands to scratch it, but she couldn't relieve it.

"If you catch it again, it will turn red."

Gong Yu looked sideways at the approaching Dai Ruyan and asked, "Why are you here?"

Dai Ruyan sat beside her, with a slender figure, and her light-colored blue sleeves complemented her fair complexion.

"Xiao Jiu doesn't like it?" Dai Ruyan returned with tea in his hand.

"No." Gong Yu looked at the scorching sun outside, and explained: "It's so hot outside, it may be inconvenient to come out, what's the matter, Ayan?"

Dai Ruyan put down the tea, took out a porcelain bottle of ointment and said, "I heard that you have been shutting yourself out for the past few months, only practicing riding and archery, busy with your homework, and don't go to my place often, so I have to come here to find you."

Gong Yu sat cross-legged in embarrassment and asked, "What is this?"

"Anti-itch ointment."

"Is it for me?" Gong Yu said, already quite self-consciously pulling up her sleeves and coming closer.

Dai Ruyan responded with a slight smile, slightly stained with ointment on his fingertips: "You are quite self-conscious."

Gong Yu only felt that the ointment was slightly cool, which was very comfortable, and she bent her eyebrows and said, "Although this water pavilion is cool, there are too many mosquitoes."

"Then you still nest in this water pavilion all day long." Dai Ruyan moved her fingertips, and Gong Yu felt so comfortable that she didn't want to move, so she fell to the side.

"No way, the weather is hot, I can't wait to cut my robes short, so as not to get bored."

"Don't, although the weather is hot, it's still a little cold at night, just bear with it."

After the arm was smeared, Gong Yu lay down comfortably and didn't want to move, only to see Dai Ruyan gently pulling Gong Yu's collar with fingertips and whispering: "Let me see where you scratched just now."

Gong Yu tilted her head slightly, revealing half of her neck, only to see Dai Ruyan's expression was full of seriousness, she stretched out her hand to touch it gently and said, "It's very red and swollen, you must have scratched it for a long time."

"It itches so badly that I can't see it."

It was really comfortable to apply the ointment, Gong Yu bent the corner of her mouth and called out: "Ayan..."

"Ok?"

"You said that if people see us like this, will they be misunderstood?"

Confusion flashed in Dai Ruyan's eyes, and he looked down at Gong Yu, whose clothes were half untied, his bright eyes were shining like stars, he hesitated slightly and retracted his hand, carefully pulling Gong Yu's collar back and said:

"If someone sees this, that person will die."

Gong Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking that Dai Ruyan's words were definitely not just jokes.

I saw Dai Ruyan looking straight at the scattered papers with his back, stretched out his hand to pick up the nearest paper, looked at it carefully and said: "Although the handwriting is a bit scribbled, it is much better than before."

"I've worked hard on this."

"The emperor will return to the imperial court in a few days, and it coincides with the Zhongyuan Festival. The sacrifices are very complicated. You must pay more attention to not make any mistakes." Dai Ruyan said, and asked after a slight pause: "It's scary for you to be alone in this mansion. ?”

Naturally, Gong Yu didn't pay much attention to the matter of ghosts, but Dai Ruyan asked so carefully, which made her a little touched.

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm very familiar with this mansion."

"I went to the temple to ask for it yesterday." Dai Ruyan took out something like a talisman bag from his sleeve pocket, and tied it on the palace jade belt.

Gong Yu lowered her head and smelled the fragrance of Dai Ruyan's body, which was very similar to the fragrance of pear blossoms. She saw that thin white fingertips tied with the thin belt, and her eyes were very gentle.

Gong Yu's heart was beating so fast, Gong Yu turned his head and looked away, holding the scattered corners of his clothes nervously with his fingertips and said: "The weather is so hot, it takes more than half a day to go to the temple, it's so troublesome Ah Yan."

"No problem, please rest assured."

The sound of birds chirping in the water pavilion resounded, together with Gong Yu's eyes that had nowhere to rest, she carefully moved to Dai Ruyan's side, Gong Yu touched the talisman bag with her fingertips and asked in a low voice: "Why are you doing this to me?" good?"

Dai Ruyan seemed to think of something sad, silent for a long time, Gong Yu hurriedly said: "I just asked casually."

"I had a little sister when I was young. She was weak since she was a child, and she passed away later."

The words were very soft, and Dai Ruyan's expression was natural, but his eyes were filled with grief.

Gong Yu sat aside at a loss and said softly, "Don't be sad, I didn't mean it."

"It's nothing, it was a long time ago, even my mother didn't remember it."

Dai Ruyan restrained her emotions naturally, drinking her tea quietly, as if what happened just now had never happened.

The sky is getting late, and at dusk, the sunset clouds cover the sky, and the air also smells like scorched earth.

Occasionally there was a breeze but it was still warm and uncomfortable, Gong Yu picked up the folding fan at the side and fanned the wind lightly, staying quietly beside Dai Ruyan.

For the first time, Gong Yu felt that she didn't know how to laugh with Dai Ruyan, because the sadness in Dai Ruyan's eyes made her heart ache.
