The young marquis let go of the palace maid and threw himself on Chang 'an. The palace maid who escaped only turned around to take a look before leaving. She ran all the way. Chang' an regretted it at this moment. She had helped others, but who would help her escape?
In the midst of the tearing, it was inevitable that she would struggle free, and it was inevitable that she would kick a little harder, accidentally kicking the young duke there…That was not the result she wanted!
" That's probably what happened…After that, my daughter felt afraid. After returning to the Soliciting Moon Pavilion, the fear in her heart was much better. Young Master Weiguo-"
As soon as Chang 'an mentioned' Young Master Weiguo', the Prime Minister's wife noticed that something was wrong with her eyes. Either Chang 'an was too obvious or the Prime Minister's wife was too sensitive. She saw a glimmer of hope in Chang 'an's eyes, which was not present when she talked about anyone else.
" Young Master Weiguo..." The Prime Minister's wife interrupted Chang 'an. She did not look into Chang' an's eyes and said,""What kind of person is he?”
" Young Master Wei, he…" Chang 'an only mentioned Wei Ziye. She did not know how to continue." Why is Mother interested in him?"”
The Prime Minister's wife looked at Chang 'an and said unhurriedly,"" I just feel that when my daughter Chang 'an talks about this person, the light in her eyes is very charming..."
To the Prime Minister's wife, this was a dangerous sign. Not long ago, when she went to the temple to offer incense, the old monk's words still echoed in her ears.
"Alright! I know the cause and effect of this matter. Actually, it's not a big deal. As long as the Empress doesn't pursue the matter, there won't be much of a problem. But, the Empress really said that she wants you to marry…"
When the Prime Minister's wife said this, she hesitated. She didn't know how to deal with it if it was really like that.
" Sigh…" Chang 'an sighed." Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Young Master Weiguo will definitely not sit idly by.”
After she finished speaking in Chang 'an, her mother's gaze fell on her face." In this world, no one will treat you well for no reason. You're still inexperienced and don't understand many things. There must be some reason why he's good to you…There must be something you're unwilling to accept.”
"What did Mother say…about certain reasons?”
Chang 'an looked at her mother in confusion. She had already thought about why Wei Ziye wanted to help her. He was a prince of a country. Although he came to Qi as a hostage, judging from his usual style, he was not someone who was willing to be under others!
Then, what was his motive?
" Perhaps..." The Prime Minister's wife looked at Chang 'an carefully, her eyes filled with pity."... your beauty."”
The moonlight outside the window was getting brighter and brighter. The night was beautiful, but it was already late at night. The moon had passed the middle of the sky, and too much scenery was missed. For example, the epiphyllum that bloomed and withered alone in the back garden.
Chang 'an did not speak for a long time and looked at her mother. She knew that in this world, even if anyone could lie to her, her mother was the only one who would never lie to her. She should believe her mother's words.
"Perhaps, this so-called 'for your beauty' doesn't mean that he's lecherous, but that you should know the behavior of those in power.”
Chang 'an was silent because of her mother's words. She wondered if Wei Ziye was really helping her because he wanted to use her.
Many times, it was better not to think too much. Control your emotions. It was better not to be so smart when you should pretend to be confused.
" What Mother said is not impossible." Chang 'an looked at the sky outside. It seemed to be slightly bright." The sky is bright. I should go back first."”
Chang 'an stood up and said goodbye. The Prime Minister's wife nodded." Alright, go back and rest first." When the time comes, there will naturally be a solution. Don't think too much.”
Chang An nodded and turned around." Qiaohui-"
Qiao Hui was already exhausted. She stood there with her head lowered, as if she was asleep. Chang An smiled and walked over to Qiao Hui. He gave her a gentle push and called out to her," Qiao Hui, let's go. Why don't we go back and sleep?"”
Chang 'an's voice was extremely gentle, as if she was coaxing a child. Qiao Hui opened her eyes in a daze.
"Miss?" She rubbed her eyes and looked at Chang 'an, who was standing in front of her." Are you done with the Young Lady and Madam?”
"Yes!" Chang An nodded." Let's go."
"I don't know when I fell asleep. I fell asleep while standing there. Miss must be very sleepy, right?" Qiao Hui saw that Chang 'an didn't look very happy and was worried as if something was bothering her." Miss, why don't you look very happy?”
Chang 'an touched her face and wondered if she had been so obvious.
She looked at Qiao Hui and asked,"Is there?"”
"Why not? Miss doesn't look too good! Then, there was no expression on his face. It was obvious that he was unhappy! No matter how stupid Qiaohui was, she could tell!”
"I'm not unhappy. Don't think too much about it…"
Chang An patted Qiao Hui's shoulder and shook his head." A lot of things can't be explained in a few words.”
Not only because he couldn't explain it, but also because he didn't want to say it.
"..." Qiao Hui naturally did not know how anxious Chang 'an was, but she could see that Miss was unhappy. However, since Miss did not want to say, she did not ask.
"Go to sleep."
Chang 'an walked to the bed without even removing her makeup or undoing her hair. She was really too tired...
On the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, King Qi Yong was already sitting on the throne in the imperial court. Today, he announced something, which was the competition to select the first beauty of Qi State.
All the women of the right age in the families of the ministers had to come out to participate in the competition. The Prime Minister sighed in his heart. Chang 'an really could not escape this time.
"Miss-Miss-get up!”
" Qiaohui..." Chang 'an opened her eyes in a daze. Qiaohui hurriedly woke her up." Miss, someone from the palace has come to bring Miss into the palace."”
" Oh..." Chang 'an answered in a daze." Ah-"
But after a while, she realized that she was no longer the same as before. She still had to go to the palace to see Wei Ziye every day!
"Coming right up-"
When Chang 'an rushed to the Moon Pavilion, Wei Ziye was playing the zither in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. He was elegant and elegant.
With a flick of his fingertip, the last note echoed in the pavilion. It was all over, but Chang 'an was still immersed in the melody. When Chang' an came back to her senses, she found Wei Ziye looking at her with interest. There was a smile in his eyes, but it was not a kind smile. It was a kind of smile unique to Wei Ziye.
He looked like a playboy.
Chang An turned his head and looked at Wei Ziye's unruly appearance. He did not make any comments and just said,"This song of yours is really good, but-"
Chang An's gaze inadvertently fell on Wei Ziye's damaged fingers. She could not imagine how Wei Ziye played such a perfect song, but it was undeniable that Wei Ziye's piano skills were indeed good.
Wei Ziye noticed where Chang 'an's gaze passed and stopped at his fingertips for a moment, but it was only a short moment... but he still stopped and thought about it.
Wei Ziye looked into Chang 'an's eyes and suddenly smiled. He stood up and walked to Chang' an's side. He whispered into her ear,""However, isn't it strange that such a perfect piece of music can be played with such a broken finger?”
"..." Chang An avoided Wei Ziye's intimacy and nodded.
" Hmph…" Wei Ziye snorted lightly. He did not have any obvious reaction, but perhaps only he knew that there was a hint of sadness and loss in his deep eyes.
"A lot of things are just because you're familiar with them.”
He was too skilled. Even if he had to close his eyes, he could still play it. There was nothing amazing about it. You think it's amazing because you're not familiar with it.
It was like being familiar with being a person in power and then asking you to obey, but you no longer knew how to write the word 'obey'.
"…I see." Chang An looked down at Wei Ziye's hands. They were broad and broad, unlike the delicate hands of the men of Qi State. It was as if they had been burdened by too much.
Wei Ziye put his hands behind his back. Chang An then reacted and turned his head to the side. Looking at the fish in the water, Chang An asked Wei Ziye,"Why are all these fish gathered in one place?”
Wei Ziye glanced at where Chang 'an's gaze landed." I just fed him."”
"Can I row a boat?"
×——×——×
"How does it feel to be in the middle of the lake?"
Chang 'an looked at Wei Ziye excitedly, like a child who had finally eaten candy. She was so happy that she did not know what to do. Chang' an did not know what she was thinking, but she raised her hands to her mouth and made a trumpet sign. She shouted,
"Wei Ziye-"
Wei Ziye quickly turned to look at Chang 'an. He did not expect Chang' an to call out to him without caring about her image."…"
Chang An turned around and smiled at Wei Ziye.
"So you're quite thin-skinned!”
Chang 'an smiled, somewhat gloating. Wei Ziye saw the smile on Chang 'an's face and felt unhappy. It was as if he had been inexplicably schemed against. He grabbed a handful of water and sprinkled it on Chang' an.
" Aiya!" Chang 'an did not expect Wei Ziye to spray her with water, so she did not stand on ceremony." Wei Ziye, you're really something!"”
Chang An did not say anything and splashed a handful of water on Wei Ziye's chest.
“……”
Wei Ziye didn't say anything, but the smile on his face grew wider.
On this small lake, Wei Ziye and Chang 'an were playing. Although they didn't communicate much, the intimate contact between their hearts was far closer than the communication of words.
The more he interacted with Lin Chang 'an, the clearer Wei Ziye felt that this girl was like something beautiful but poisonous. The closer he got to her, the more attracted he was to her, until he could no longer leave her…
