Chapter 5

"Liu'er, look, it's beautiful here!" It's been a month since I came to Prince Yi's mansion, and Liu'er has never visited the mansion, and she just stays quietly in the house every day, waiting for King Yi to come back from court.Today, however, he was forcefully dragged out by Li Ren, who said he wanted to show him something, which turned out to be a landscape.An elegant and unique gazebo, surrounded by water, only has a lotus-shaped stone platform for people to step on. The lotus in the water is just in bloom, and the light pink is dotted among the lush lotus leaves, gracefully curling up.

"You are bored in the house every day, how boring, you finally got out of that cage, why did you lock yourself up again and look at the scenery..." Li Ren was gesticulating, when he suddenly saw a person in the gazebo, shaking a fan , smiling at them.Liu'er also saw it, it was Xiao Ye who had met once, he almost forgot about this person, Liu'er smiled politely back, and when he wanted to leave, Xiao Ye waved his hand, but beckoned him to go.

Liu'er stepped onto the lotus stone platform and walked into the pavilion, Li Ren also followed, Xiao Ye looked at Li Ren who was following Liu'er, and said lightly, "Liu'er and I want to have a good chat, you go Bring some fruit over here!" It can be seen that he deliberately pushed Li Ren away, Li Ren looked at Liu Er, Liu Er nodded, and Li Ren had no choice but to walk back along the stone platform.

"Well, Mr. Xiao, what do you want to do with Liu'er?" Although Xiao Ye was born in a family of officials, he has no status at all. After thinking about it, Liu'er still calls him a son.Hearing Liu'er's polite address, Xiao Ye frowned, "You are not a corrupt old man in the officialdom, why do you still speak so carefully." "Then what should I call it?" After Liu'er asked, Xiao Ye frowned Face took it for granted, "I'm older than you, of course you want to call me Brother Xiao." Liu'er laughed all of a sudden, "You are obviously in second place, why do you call me Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Ye waved his hand, "Don't count my elder brother in, he is not the same person as us, he is a prince, how can we call him brothers and sisters!" Liu Er couldn't help laughing out loud, pointing at Xiao Ye while laughing and said , "Calling big brother, and saying that you can't be called brothers, and you are obviously the prince's younger brother, you..." Liu Er didn't know what to say, so she just smiled, Xiao Ye didn't answer, looked at Liu Er and smiled, After Liu'er had laughed enough, he asked seriously, "Do you want to call me Brother Xiao?"

Seeing his sincerity, Liu'er couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only call softly, "Brother Xiao." "Well, well, since you recognize me as your big brother, you have to listen to me if you have something to say." I don't know Why did the relaxed atmosphere suddenly become tense? Liu'er looked at Xiao Ye in bewilderment.Xiao Ye shook the fan in his hand a few times, "Liu Er, do you really like my elder brother?"

Liu'er was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he would suddenly ask this question, thinking of Xiao Yun, Liu'er showed a slight smile.Seeing the tenderness and happiness on Liu'er's face, Xiao Ye knew the answer, sighed and said, "You should know, he is the prince, the most beloved minister of the Holy One, and he was born destined to be honored all his life." Said Finished, glanced at Liu Er, Liu Er didn't wait for him to say anything, and then continued, "I was born as a beggar on the street, and sold myself in a brothel, we are totally different, I don't deserve to be with him at all. Together. Brother Xiao, is this what you want to say?" Liu'er knew all of this a long time ago, but Xiao Yun's gentleness made him forget about it, and he would like to thank Xiao Ye for reminding him.

"Yes!" Although Liu'er told the truth himself, he still felt a little heartbroken when he heard Xiao Ye's answer without hesitation. This fate was destined, no matter how he wanted to, and why, all these crimes should be counted. on his head.

"I said this not to humiliate you, nor to warn you, but as a big brother, I want to remind you that the environment you have lived in is very different, your personality is different, and your behavior and things are very different. Now he spoils you, but in the blink of an eye He will pamper others." Xiao Ye paused, looked at Liu Er, saw that he was listening to what he said carefully, and continued, "Liu Er, you can't be the only one in your life, you can't have everything. Life is for him."

Liu'er shook her head slightly, and said helplessly but firmly, "Liu'er has always been helpless, trapped in that kind of place, even living is a pain, now I can live for King Yi, even if I end up in a tragic end , Liu'er has no complaints or regrets."

Seeing Liu'er being so determined, Xiao Ye sighed deeply, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, "I was wrong, people's hearts are really hard to understand."

"Okay, it's my fault to talk about these things that upset you, Liu Er, just remember one thing, no matter what happens, I will help you." Lian Ye returned to the shore, Liu'er opened her mouth wide and looked at Xiao Ye who was drifting away, she always thought that this person was just an idle playboy, but she didn't expect to have such a good lightness kung fu.Li Ren, who was standing on the bank with a fruit plate, was also stunned for a while, and then ran up to the gazebo angrily, "Obviously he asked me to get the fruit, but I brought it, and he left again. I'm playing!" Liu'er rubbed his head, "Don't be so angry, we are in other people's territory."

"It's not his, it's King Yi's!" Li Ren argued, and when King Yi was mentioned, Liu'er remembered Xiao Ye's words again, and she didn't know the fate of being a male favorite, who can die in peace .The words just now were spoken to Xiao Ye, and also to himself. These years of life have made him understand one thing. To be a human being, you must first know your own duty, and don't expect impossible things.

As for Xiao Ye's last words, Liu'er didn't take them seriously, even though she called Brother Xiao, even though Xiao Ye was only born of a concubine, she was still beyond her reach.

"Liu'er, what are you thinking? He won't eat it, we will eat it ourselves!" Li Ren picked up a crystal grape and coaxed Liu'er to eat it.The sweet and sour taste washed away some of the bitterness in her heart, and Liu'er smiled faintly. Being able to have such a beautiful moment is also a blessing that has been cultivated for a hundred years.

"Liu'er, what did the Second Young Master tell you just now?" Li Ren asked casually, but his ears were perked up, waiting for Liu'er's answer.

"Second Young Master? So that's what you call him." Liu'er is always bored in the room alone, but Li Ren often goes out to hang out with other servants in the palace, so Li Ren knows a lot of things that Liu'er doesn't .

Seeing that Li Ren was still waiting for his own answer, he didn't want to lie to him, but he didn't want to say anything that worried him, so he tapped Li Ren's head with his hand, "You're a big kid, you can take care of everything, we just chat casually, That's why you care so much."

"I care about everything about Liu'er." Li Ren avoided Liu'er's finger in dissatisfaction, "It's fine if you don't say anything, I'm just afraid that the second son will say something bad to you, there are not many people in this mansion Know what he is doing, mysterious, you see what he showed just now, it is definitely not a simple person."

Liu'er narrowed her eyes slightly, and scolded reproachfully, "How come I have learned to gossip about people?"

Although it was reproach, it was still gentle. Of course Li Ren was not afraid, but he still kept his mouth shut.

"Okay, let's go back." Liu'er looked fondly at Li Ren who was pouting, "I'll draw you a picture later, okay?"

"Really, Liu'er is the best!" Li Ren happily picked up the leftover fruit, bounced back to the shore, watching Liu'er sweating for him.

"Liu'er draw quickly, draw quickly!" As soon as he returned to the room, Li Ren prepared the paper and ink.Liu'er doesn't paint often, but Li Ren knows that Liu'er is a very good painter, and he once gave him a "Willow Shore Picture". Naturally, Li Ren had no place to hang it, but he kept it carefully, and often took it out to look at glance.

"What's the hurry, I promised you, so I won't go back on my word." Liu'er just picked up the pen when footsteps came from outside the door, and he smiled apologetically at Li Ren.Li Ren had a bitter face, and didn't dare to say anything, and stood beside him obediently.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yun just came back from court, because he had nothing to do, so he came back earlier.Seeing that the paper and ink have been set up on the table, I don't know whether to write or draw.

"Because I was idle, I wanted to draw a picture. As soon as I picked up the pen, the prince came back. It's so early today." Liu'er skillfully helped Xiao Yun change into the casual clothes at home.

"Is that right, I disturbed your interest." Xiao Yun hadn't seen Liu'er's painting yet, so he was a little curious, "I'll draw one for this king when I have time. I've seen your writing, but I haven't seen your painting yet. painting."

"Yes, my lord, it's just that Liu'er's writing skills are shallow and can't be elegant." Liu'er didn't dare to refuse, and she was afraid that her paintings would not be able to make it to the stage.

"You just paint!"

Now that the prince has given the order, Liu'er no longer shirks, and returns to the front of the paper and ink laid out.Just draw, what should be drawn, Liu'er picked up the pen, pondered for a while in her mind, and when she came up with an idea, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.Immediately dipped in ink and sketched on rice paper.

Liu'er leaned forward slightly, holding the body of the pen with her white fingers, her slender wrist was exposed outside the cuff, and she held the sleeve with the other hand so as not to touch the paper. Her delicate face was concentrating on the painting.

Xiao Yun was attracted by this picture of "a painting by a beauty", and sat quietly by the side, sipping tea and admiring the scenery in front of him.Liu'er's every movement is so inadvertent, but it seems to be deliberately manipulated to attract people's hearts.For such a person, being stuck in the Misty Rain Building really wronged him.

Shapes gradually appeared on the rice paper, Xiao Yun walked behind Liu'er and looked at the paper.There is only one person and one horse on the paper, that person is full of heroism, exuding the demeanor of a king, and that horse is proud, and also has the bearing of the king of horses.This is obviously the way Liu Er saw King Yi going on tour in the Yanyu Tower that day. Xiao Yun didn't know that there was a pair of admiring eyes staring at him closely that day, and saw Liu Er could draw himself and Ta Yun. Such an image can't help but be amazed.

After finishing the last stroke, Liu'er straightened up and looked at the painting just completed, her ability was indeed not enough, the real King Yi was much more handsome than this painting.Liu Er frowned, wanting to tear up the painting and redo it, she raised her hand to caress the face of King Yi in the painting, but she was reluctant to give up.He was completely immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't realize that King Yi in this painting was standing behind him.

Xiao Yun waved his hand to Li Ren, Li Ren immediately understood, bowed down and saluted, and then left the room.Xiao Yun pressed against Liu'er's body, wrapped his hands around his waist, leaned his chin on Liu'er's shoulder, and said softly, "The painting is really good!"

Liu'er woke up suddenly, and saw that she was hugged by Xiao Yun, her face blushing, "My lord praised me absurdly, this painting is not as good as my lord's demeanor."

"Haha, what a ridiculous compliment, this painting has both form and spirit, what else do you want, you should be punished if you don't mean what you say, you should be punished!" Saying that you should be punished, but in a gentle tone, Xiao Yun gently kissed Liu'er's neck, Sliding behind the ear, he took the small and delicate earlobe in his mouth and teased it.

Liu'er felt numb all over, and a groan came out of her mouth, the blush on her face deepened, and her eyes became blurred.

Liu'er felt that his soul was being drawn away with this movement. He didn't want to think about what was before and what would happen in the future, even if he was going to fall into hell in the future, forever, as long as there was this moment, he would contented.

Xiao Yun's movements intensified, with a few violent strokes, Liu'er felt her heart warm up, her body couldn't help but tremble, and she hugged Xiao Yun tightly with both hands.The throbbing disappeared, Liu'er's body softened, and she lost all strength. She opened her hazy eyes, looked at Xiao Yun's handsome face, and showed a satisfied smile.

Xiao Yun put a few affectionate kisses on his face, then got up and carried Liu Er to take a bath. "Physical strength is so weak, I will give you more supplements in the future." Liu'er leaned weakly in Xiao Yun's arms, her face blushed, she didn't know what to reply, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Such a day, even if it is only this day, is probably enough for him to remember it for a lifetime.However, he still vaguely looks forward to more tomorrows in his heart, has he still not learned to be content, or because of Xiao Yun's doting, he has also begun to forget his duty and yearn for more?Liu'er slept next to Xiao Yun with some uneasiness. How long will this extraordinary man stay here? Will he wake up from the dream before the bustling end...
