"Next!" Jiang Xiaoran threw a bag of wine.

Ye Siming caught it neatly.

He opened it and drank it.

The afterglow of the setting sun burned the sky into a deep blue after dark.

It also made the young man's silhouette more handsome and profound.

For the convenience of work, Ye Siming tied his hair in a jade crown.

Dressed in brocade clothes and stained with some dust, it was difficult to conceal the tall and tall figure of the young man.

The front of the shirt is half-open, and the smooth lines of the collarbone are vaguely visible.

Jiang Xiaoran helped lift the soil and said, "You have a good night's sleep after drinking the wine. Tomorrow, the emperor will hold a flower banquet in the palace and invite the noble sons of noble families from all over the capital to attend."

Ye Siming's expression was indifferent, a little careless: "Why are you participating?"

Jiang Xiaoran stood up straight: "For the princess."

Ye Siming's hand holding the wine bag was startled, and he frowned immediately: "What's going on?"

Jiang Xiaoran guessed that this would be his reaction.

"In order to motivate you to come out, the emperor organized this flower banquet and invited the young masters of the famous nobles to attend."

"It has been rumored both inside and outside the court that the emperor will secretly choose a concubine for the princess. As far as I know, there are quite a few people there."

With that said, Jiang Xiaoran took down a bamboo basket hanging from Xiao Hei's body.

"Here is a clean dress I prepared for you, a guard dress."

"If you want to go, you can only enter the palace in the name of my bodyguard tomorrow. I have also given you a mask. You can't show your face, otherwise the emperor will definitely think that you can't stand the test."

"Fortunately, I had a guard before. He had an injury on his face and was wearing a mask all the time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fool him this time."

After Jiang Xiaoran finished speaking, he found that Ye Siming didn't answer for a long time.

He looked intently, only to see Ye Siming's thin lips pursed tightly, the corners of his lips pressed down slightly, his face was cold and white, and his pupils were even more faintly burning like a strange fire.

Jiang Xiaoran could feel it through the aura gradually exuding from Ye Siming's body.

He was angry.

It is understandable to think about it. He likes the princess so much, but he has to watch others attend the Huachao Banquet, and he can't go by himself.

Jiang Xiaoran stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Whether you want to go, see you, if you want to go, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain tomorrow."

Ye Siming was silent for a long time, until he didn't know if he had figured it out, and began to lower his head to pick up the ground stakes again.

Seeing him say nothing, Jiang Xiaoran seemed to feel the same way.

"Brother, I'm here, listen to me, when it's time to fight, you must fight for it, don't care who obstructs it, when you really miss it, it's really too late." Jiang Xiaoran said with a sigh.

Ye Siming turned his eyes to the side, his general outline was shrouded in shadows, his brows and eyes were even darker, and his nose was straight.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you here? What, have you thought about it?"

Jiang Xiaoran paused and nodded: "Yesterday, I saw Yinxiang and that Young Master Pang."

"I found that as long as she was happy, I didn't seem to be so unacceptable in my heart. It's just that I didn't try my best to save her when I recalled the first time I could win, and I regret it a bit."

"If only I had been braver back then, I would definitely not miss it with her, but it's already like this, and I accept it calmly."

"But, Siming, you are my good brother. I hope you... don't leave any regrets."

The two looked at each other, and the mountain breeze passed between the two teenagers, which also deepened the different thoughts in their eyes.

the next day.

Jiang Xiaoran's carriage waited for Ye Siming at the foot of the mountain for half an hour.

He didn't show up.

Until the groom reminded that it was time to enter the palace.

Jiang Xiaoran sighed: "Let's go."
