Yue Yichuan is like a clear water, anyone can see clearly what is in his heart.
The vague admiration of a young man, accumulated for many years, finally turned into an obsession that cannot be turned back.
Every time he looked at her, his eyes betrayed his feelings.
It's a pity that Zhu Weizhen doesn't need his deep love, only his loyalty.
"Since eldest sister knows everything, don't make it difficult for him."
Zhu Xuxing sighed softly: "After all, leaving Wan'er to him is definitely not the best idea."
Zhu Weizhen also said: "We regard Wan'er as one of our own, and we can only hand it over to our own people. Otherwise, her life will never be easy. Her background and her inherent problems are the biggest problems in the eyes of others." unlucky."
Zhu Xuxing fell into deep thought after hearing this.
What the eldest sister said is not unreasonable.
After walking out of the palace, Yue Yichuan came towards me. Seeing Zhu Xuxing's serious expression, he asked worriedly: "Do you have any orders from your highness?"
Zhu Xuxing looked at him deeply: "Everything is fine, eldest sister, and she mentioned you."
Yue Yichuan's eyes were bright, and his stern face was filled with joy.
Zhu Xuxing's heart sank and he said calmly: "Let's go back to the study."
The sedan chair stopped outside the door. Zhu Xuxing did not sit on it, but only waved his hand to let them go back first.
"Yichuan, let's take a walk."
Yue Yichuan was startled when he heard this, and then quickly followed.
When they arrived at the clean place, Zhu Xuxing slowly said, "I won't be quarrelsome with you anymore. If I want to leave it to you alone, are you willing?"
"Hand it over?"
Yue Yichuan frowned, knowing that things were not simple.
"Eldest sister has been worrying about Wan'er's marriage. Her status is a bit special, and... you know, she has some unspeakable illnesses."
When Yue Yichuan heard this, he understood everything in his heart.
"Your Highness, I have no plans to get married. Concubine Yue Gui had kindly arranged it before. As a result... I wasted no time, and I was also in trouble. I have no prejudice against Princess Wan, she is a pitiful person. , if it’s because I miss a life-long event again, wouldn’t it be my fault?”
He said this very sincerely.
Zhu Xuxing smiled lightly: "I don't want to force others to do anything, and I don't want to hurt you or Wan'er. This is what the eldest sister means. I know that you may not listen to me, but you will definitely listen to the eldest sister. .”
Yue Yichuan's expression was stiff and his eyes were panicked.
"I don't mean to blame you, I just want to remind you that you must think clearly. The eldest sister has no love in her heart. No matter how infatuated you are, she will never look back."
When Yue Yichuan saw that the prince spoke so straightforwardly, he was startled for a moment, and then felt a chill in his back.
"Your Highness, how dare I expect to be favored by the eldest princess? I have never had any wishful thinking. I... devote myself wholeheartedly only to Your Highness and to the imperial court."
Zhu Suxing's eyes narrowed slightly, as if sighing but not sighing: "Sometimes, I really hope that you have had delusions about eldest sister, then maybe everything will be different today."
After hearing this, Yue Yichuan's face turned pale, not because of fear, but because of shame.
His true feelings are worthless.
His cowardice is well known to everyone.
"Your Highness, if I had known that the eldest princess would suffer so many grievances, I would have tried my best, no, I would have risked my life to stop it. Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now, and I will achieve nothing in the end."
"Don't say discouraging words."
Zhu Xuxing didn't want to embarrass him, so he just said: "You should calm down. Otherwise, you will have wasted time. You are the eldest son of the family. You not only carry the imperial family's wealth, but also the hopes of the Yue family."
Yue Yichuan still shook his head: "Your Highness, the love between children is just a mirror to Weichen. After more than ten years of waiting, it is still in vain. This is not anyone's fault. It is because I am obsessed with it. It is because I have no spine to fight. I missed the best opportunity."
Zhu Xuxing looked at his dejected face and said with relief: "Maybe you still have a chance, but not now."
Yue Yichuan was silent for a long time and then said: "Your Highness, I have given up."
Zhu Xuxing took a long breath and asked again: "Yichuan, we only talk about some things in private. I have never asked you, when did you fall in love with eldest sister?"
Yue Yichuan was in a trance and smiled sadly: "Your Highness, stop asking, I am not worthy."
He couldn't say it out loud. Those were the most secret past events in his heart, and they were also the most precious.
On that hot summer day, he was forced to squat in the courtyard, leaving him dizzy, exhausted and haggard due to the sun.
Under the scorching sun, I couldn't move, and I endured it as painfully as if I was being tortured.
Sweat mixed with tears blurred his eyes. He suddenly felt homesick and wanted to go back to his brothers and sisters...
Just when he was thinking wildly, a touch of coldness touched his forehead, followed by an anxious and gentle voice: "How old is he? Can he withstand such a punishment?"
"Come here, prepare ice and tea."
Yue Yichuan raised his eyes and couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, but he could smell the faint fragrance of gardenia on her body.
The girl's sweet fragrance hits her nostrils, enough to eclipse everything around her.
Zhu Weizhen ordered someone to help him go to a cool place to apply ice, his dark eyes full of concern.
The coolness of this moment made him feel like he was reborn. However, when he came back to his senses, he was full of tears.
Zhu Weizhen sighed, squatted down, and looked at him a little closer: "Whose child is crying? If the coaches see it later, they will make you stand on the stakes again."
Yue Yichuan sniffed sharply and almost cried.
Zhu Weizhen stroked his head tenderly, wiped his face and sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Are you homesick? Tomorrow I will ask your mother to let you go home and stay for a few days, so that you can reunite with your family." good?"
Yue Yichuan didn't dare to say yes and lowered his head in shame.
As a result, tears fell down.
Therefore, Zhu Weizhen stretched out his hand, opened his palm to catch his tears, and teased him: "My sister has collected your tears. When you grow up, my sister will return them to you. Wow, so many tears, so many The little pearl is all mine."
Yue Yichuan stopped crying after hearing this and looked up blankly.
No matter how embarrassed he was, she was beautiful, too beautiful to be ordinary.
Zhu Weizhen's smile was as bright as a flower, his eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a peach color at the end of his eyes.
"Chuan'er, don't cry."
She called him by his baby name, her voice as sweet as honey.
Growing up, no one except his mother called him that.
The grievance and fatigue that filled his stomach instantly turned into an unknown shyness, and heat rushed up to his face.
"My face is so red, don't be suffering from heat stroke."
Zhu Weizhen took some ice cubes, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and gently applied a cold compress to him.
Her movements were cautious, as if he were a porcelain doll that would break at the touch of a touch.
The warm fingertips traced across his sweaty face, arousing a thousand waves in his heart.
