The Grand Princess

Chapter 23: Old dream

After Li Rong finished speaking, she raised her hand to fill Pei Wenxuan with water. Pei Wenxuan almost choked her to death, struggling to push the cup away, and said anxiously: "What are you doing!"

"Energetic?"

Li Rong smiled and got up, and said humanely next to her: "Help up and go."

Having said that, Li Rong got into the carriage first, and someone else helped Pei Wenxuan onto the carriage, and then retreated.

The carriage set off, and Da Da left. Li Rong sat on the seat, wearing the dress of a dancer, and wearing Pei Wenxuan's clothes. His posture was calm and graceful, and there was an indescribable charm in his gestures.

Pei Wenxuan got into the carriage, seeing Li Rong's appearance, his expression was fixed, then he looked away, pretending that he didn't see anything, went to the opposite of Li Rong, closed his eyes and lay down before lying down.

"Don't ask where I want to take you?"

Seeing Pei Wenxuan pretending to be dead, Li Rong asked with a smile. Pei Wenxuan didn't open his eyes and said indifferently: "I won't be dragged to death anyway."

"So confident?"

Li Rong chuckled: "You believe me very much now."

"You can kill me now, and then go and kiss me tomorrow. Maybe you can wear this Persian dancer's clothes for a long time."

When Li Rong heard that Pei Wenxuan disliked the dress so much, she couldn't help but swept down herself, and then said: "I think this dress is pretty, why do you have so many opinions?"

When Pei Wenxuan was about to speak, Li Rong immediately reminded him: "Don't talk about vulgarity with me. I remember when you were young when you wore this dress you told me that it suits me well, and it has a special flavor."

This sentence blocked Pei Wenxuan speechless, all the words couldn't be vomited out for a while, and he couldn't swallow them. After holding back for a long time, he said: "I don't think it can do it now."

Li Rong sneered: "Pei Wenxuan, when you were young, you were considered a romantic boy, and now you are almost like those bad old men."

When they were young, Pei Wenxuan was not like a well-known gentleman like Su Rongqing. The outside world said that he was a little reticent, dull, and even staid.

But in fact, he would also accompany her to visit the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, watching her having fun, dressing up as these Persian dancers, and joining the crowd dancing together under a veil. At this time, he can still smile and praise her, saying that no one is better than her. Better looking. After the jump, when the cold wind blows, he will quietly put his hand on her shoulder and use his wide sleeves to keep her out of the cold.

Then she blinked and asked him, "Aren't you angry?"

Pei Wenxuan then squinted at the person in his arms with a smile: "Seeing the peony blooming in Huajing, I am too happy, so why am I angry?"

Li Rong raised his eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan knew it was a warning, and he was not allowed to make fun of her, so he straightened up and said mildly, "I was a little bit upset in my heart, but seeing you happy, I didn't feel upset anymore. Moreover, to be reasonable," Pei Wenxuan said in a serious tone, "His Royal Highness belongs to all of your Highness. I shouldn't put my beak on it, as long as I accompany it."

This made people happy, and Li Rong simply said, "Everything about me is mine, what about you?"

Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong’s eyebrows with joy flying, he turned his fan and embraced the girl, walking on the bustling streets of Huajing, blocking people around him for Li Rong, and smiled: "Except for morality, family, and old friends, Pei Wenxuan’s Everything belongs to Your Highness."

"Dorality, family, old friends," Li Rong read, a little unhappy, "Except for these, what are you left with?"

"If these are not removed," Pei Wenxuan helplessly, "I have only your Highness in my life. Isn't it an unfaithful, unfilial person? Does Your Highness like such a person?"

When Li Rong thought about it, she didn't like it, and she knew from the bottom of her heart that she would not be able to afford it if she had such affection.

She was talking funny, but Pei Wenxuan was used to speaking seriously, so she stopped asking questions, just stopped.

Seeing her stop, Pei Wenxuan turned to look at her. Li Rong opened her hands and raised her chin lightly: "Forget it, since you can give me so much from yourself, I'm reluctant to treat you better."

With that, she looked at Pei Wenxuan's coat and said, "Put me the coat on."

Pei Wenxuan paused when he heard these words. He stared at Li Rong blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing him blankly, Li Rong couldn't help but urge him: "Hurry up."

After Pei Wenxuan got this, he came back to his senses. He took off his shirt and put it on Li Rong. The moment he pulled his clothes to Li Rong, the fireworks of the Lantern Festival were in full bloom. The crowds, men and women, came and went on the street. All look to the sky together. Li Rong was no exception. She raised her head anxiously, and then saw the fireworks falling in her eyes. At this time, Pei Wenxuan silently held her hand, and bowed his head to kiss the moment everyone looked up at the fireworks. On her lips.

The kiss was fleeting and dissipated in an instant like fireworks, but Li Rong was shocked to stand in place and did not return for a long time. After all, Pei Wenxuan was used to being a cautious and somewhat rigid person, doing this in front of others, she was Never dare to think about it.

However, the other party is still calmly, holding her hand, smiling and saying: "Your Highness, go."

Li Rong didn't speak, she was pulled by him, he walked in front, she stepped on his footsteps. After a long time, she whispered: "So many people, why are you kissing me?"

Pei Wenxuan walked in front. She couldn't see his flushed face. She only listened to his always elegant and upright voice, dyed a bit unspeakably charming, and said softly and softly: "Rongrong, I am very happy."

He didn't explain too much, just said one thing, he was very happy.

As for what he was happy about, what he was happy about, why there was a momentary gaffe, even he himself couldn't tell.

Reminiscing about Pei Wenxuan at that time, Li Rong looked at the man with his eyes closed and corpse now. He couldn't help sighing, and said, "Times make people grow old."

"Speak as if you are not old."

Pei Wenxuan turned sideways in annoyance when she thought about the past, and muttered, "Old lady."

Li Rong let out a soft "heh": "Bad old man."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He didn't know if he had been drinking too much. Hearing what Li Rong said, he felt uncomfortable.

If you don't mention how beautiful the past is, you won't realize how embarrassed you are now.

When Li Rong reminded him, he remembered that he hadn't had the same mood as when he was a teenager for many, many years, such a calm, gentle, calm, hopeful and fearless mood.

He remembers that when he was young, he also had many preferences. He knew how to paint and write poetry. When he was interested, he could play the piano and dance the sword. He was an unqualified young man.

He would walk up the mountain in fine weather, or indulge in the mountains and rivers by boat. At that time, he felt that everyone in this world was very good, and everything was beautiful, especially Li Rong. Every time she bent her eyes and smiled At the time, he felt that there would never be winter in this world.

But he didn’t know what was going on. Li Rong quarreled with him, separated, his mother passed away, Li Rong and Su Rongqing were together, Qin Zhenzhen died in the harem, Li Chuan’s temperament changed drastically, the greater his power, the greater his position. Higher, everything becomes stranger.

He feels tired every day and tired of everything. After finishing his official duties every day, his greatest wish is to find a place, quietly, without anyone, let him close the door and stay alone. He is afraid of meeting people around him, because the people he sees every day are either to quarrel, to please cautiously, or to remain vigilant. Even if it was Li Rong, when they met, it was endless ridicule and abuse.

Day and night, year after year, repeated this, the more tired the more irritable, the more irritable the more tired, after the cycle, he lived like a sleepy beast, bumping around every day, until now he turned his head and found that he had already He smashed his head and broke his blood.

He listened to Li Rong talking about such a beautiful past, and couldn't sleep anymore. He just stared at the swaying car wall with his eyes open and said nothing.

Li Rong sipped his tea. Seeing that he seemed to be asleep, she took the account book and looked through it. After a while, she suddenly heard Pei Wen preach: "I hate it, don't you?"

Li Rong paused, and after a while, she said slowly, "Aren't I also annoying?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong looked down and turned the pages of the book, and said flatly: "I always quarrel with you and always say you are not. Everyone is the same, you don't need to be inferior."

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan was speechless for a moment. Li Rong knew what he might be thinking of, but his mind was uncomfortable, so he persuaded: "You drank alcohol and your brain is not good. Don't think too much. Go to sleep. Tomorrow we will go to Jiulu Mountain to find Qin Lin. According to the time, the news of the Yang family's siege will come to the front line soon. At that time, the Yang family on the front line will definitely have to make trouble. Chuan'er is afraid that it will be over soon. Before, we had to persuade Qin Lin to accompany Chuan'er to the front line."

Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong calmly discussing the situation with him. He almost habitually listened to Li Rong’s words and said, “I know Qin Lin, and the one who is most afraid is actually Cui Qinghe... Wait for tomorrow, Jiulu Mountain. Look at the situation, don’t worry."

"Yeah." Li Rong got these words and said, "Go to sleep. I'll call you when I get to the princess mansion later."

Seeing that Li Rong didn't want to go on, Pei Wenxuan didn't say much. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, he didn't know what happened. He dreamed of his three years of filial piety in Luzhou. At that time, although he had no official position, he was also chic. He brought a jug of wine and a flute with him in the warm weather. , I went down by boat, looking for a cool place, and slept on the lake for an afternoon. When I came back, I picked some lotus seeds. I met children on the road and gave them to them. If the lotus is in full bloom, you will also bring a lotus to give to the little girl you meet on the road that day.

He couldn't help laughing in his dream, and then listened to the fireworks blooming in his dream, and then eighteen-year-old Li Rong, dressed in the costume of a Persian dancer with a veil, mixed in the crowd, and learned from those people.着动.

She has a slender waist and is as agile as a snake. When she moves, the sequins hanging on her waist sway gently, outlining a kind of sultry, if there is nothing, her eyes are bright, looking at him from the crowd, even if it is half hidden. She opened her face, but she could see the cat's proud and smart smile.

He looked at the girl far away from the crowd, and couldn't help laughing.

The girl didn't know what was wrong, so she walked up to him, her clothes draped over her, and she looked at him with a smile.

"Pei Wenxuan." She called him by his name, but she didn't say anything, she just looked at him quietly.

Then there appeared a young man next to her, who had a gentle expression, and stood quietly with her, who had the same eyebrows as Pei Wenxuan, but had a completely different temperament.

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong laughed, "I'm leaving."

With that, Li Ronghe held hands and his body slowly melted away. Pei Wenxuan vaguely heard someone calling him: "Master Pei? Young Master Pei? Pei Wenxuan? Pei Dog!"

Pei Wenxuan slowly opened his eyes during the call, and saw Li Rong looking down at him, patted his face and said, "Are you dizzy or asleep? Get up quickly and go."

Pei Wenxuan regained his senses, he nodded pretendingly and got up slowly.

Li Rong looked at him for a moment, and saw that he was awake, and said: "I'll go down first, you slowly."

With that, Li Rong got out of the carriage, and Pei Wenxuan took a moment to get up and got out of the carriage.

Then the two raised their heads and saw the plaque of Princess Mansion.

This is the place where they have lived for many years, and the two of them are familiar with each other, but after returning from life and death, standing in front of the door, they have a sense of vicissitudes that is difficult to cultivate.

The two looked at each other, and Li Rong smiled: "I'm back."

Pei Wenxuan also smiled. He lowered his head and said gently: "Go in."

Li Rong rarely visited the princess mansion. When she came, the whole princess mansion immediately turned on the lights and became noisy.

Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan went to the backyard together. Pei Wenxuan was assigned to another room. Pei Wenxuan looked at this familiar and unfamiliar place, and listened to Li Rong's skillful instructions: "Plant a peach blossom tree here, over there Red Maple moved to the East Garden, and the incense in the room was replaced with Luo family's freesia wood, and the vase..."

There are a lot of places Li Rong intends to change. Walking all the way to the door of the backyard, the attendant and Pei Wen preached, "Master, please."

Pei Wenxuan nodded, and he said goodbye to Li Rong: "His Royal Highness, the minister first go to rest."

"Okay," Li Rong nodded casually, then turned to talk to the housekeeper, "and the rose over there..."

Hearing Li Rong’s words, Pei Wenxuan walked back on the promenade. He looked at the moonlight falling on the promenade and listened to Li Rong’s chattering voice. After walking for a few steps, he stopped. He turned his head and saw Li Rong. She was still wearing the clothes of a dancer and draped in his robe, but she was very powerful and instructed.

That appearance is so different from when she was young, and it doesn't seem to be any different.

Pei Wenxuan looked at it quietly for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

He suddenly said: "Your Highness!"

Li Rong turned around and saw Pei Wenxuan standing in the corridor.

He looked at her and suddenly said, "In fact, your outfit is also pretty."

When Li Rong heard this, she was stunned, and she saw Pei Wenxuan put her hands in front of her, bowed a salute, and said gently: "Your Highness sleeps well."

At that moment, Li Rong was in a daze. She seemed to see Pei Wenxuan, who was 20 years old, but she didn't.

She couldn't help but patted her face lightly.

"I have to go to bed early."

She murmured.
