very princess

Chapter 5

?Chapter 5

She must make it clear to Dongfang Wei!
It's a pity that no amount of firm determination can help her overcome this wall. Xinchen slid down the wall again, looking at the wall and sighing.

Now Dongfang Wei is playing the piano and flute with several princesses in the garden inside this wall, but she is isolated from the outside by the eunuchs and maids guarding the gate.

It doesn't matter, if the door is blocked, there will be walls to climb.I just didn't expect that it doesn't look very high, but it is extremely difficult to get up!

Failed again, Xinchen let out a small cry of pain and rubbed his bruised knee.Fortunately, Dongfang Wei likes to be quiet, and there are not many guards here, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago.Alas, if only there were ladders.He raised his eyes and looked around, and his gaze was fixed on a big tree near the wall—inside the wall, there was a song, and the sound of silk and bamboo stopped for a while.

"Okay, Princess Pingqi's xiao is definitely top-notch, and it really lives up to its reputation." Dongfang Wei applauded.Alas, I didn't flash fast enough today, I was blocked by them.

Princess Pingqi covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled, "Teacher Dongfang praised it absurdly. How could Pingqi's skills catch the ears of Taifu? I heard that Taifu Dongfang has excellent piano skills. Can you play a song for us?"

Dongfang Wei was about to push back, when a slight painful cry from outside the wall entered his ears, he froze, what was she doing?
"Okay, okay, let Taifu Dongfang play a song for us, so that everyone can see what an elegant voice is." The other princesses echoed.

Dongfang Wei listened intently to the voice outside the wall, while cupping his hands to decline, "How dare I show my shame in front of the princesses with this little skill? Didn't Princess Pingle say that she made a new song? How about letting Princess Pingle do it?" Play us a song."

Princess Pingle readily agreed, ordered someone to play the piano, and began to stroke the strings with her slender fingers.

Dongfang Wei was smiling, but stared at the big tree on the wall from the corner of his eyes. At this time, the branches and leaves of that tree were moving without wind.Damn, what the hell is that stupid woman doing?
It turns out that climbing trees is so difficult!Xinchen gritted her teeth and continued to work hard, but she didn't believe that she would not be able to climb that branch with her nimble hands!Aunt Yuyan said, she dances as lightly as a swallow, how could a swallow not be able to climb a tree?
Again!ah!It worked!Climbing a tree is easier than climbing a wall.OK, take a break.Xinchen carefully sat down on the branch, took out a handkerchief to wipe off sweat, fanned the wind, straightened her dress, and then looked at the scenery from above, without even realizing that her actions made Dongfang Wei's forehead tingle with blue veins!
That idiot!You don’t have to climb so high to see the scenery, right?Dongfang Wei almost jumped over and pulled her down.

The day before yesterday when he was offering incense, he suddenly found out her true identity, and he left angrily. He has avoided seeing her for the past two days, but he didn't expect that she would come to do such a dangerous thing to provoke him!
It's useless for you to do this, and I'm not going to forgive you yet!Dongfang Wei turned his head away from her and tried to concentrate on listening to Princess Pingle's piano, but his sensitive ears could still hear her crawling on the branches clearly.

Xinchen slowly climbed along the branches to the top of the wall. It was not difficult, but sometimes the annoying branches would catch her hair and clothes, causing her to stop and untie them from time to time.

Finally, she climbed to the top of the wall!Xinchen sat up carefully, placed both feet on the wall, and sat with her knees hugged.

Hidden under the dense shade of trees, Xinchen looked into the garden and saw Dongfang Wei and several gorgeously dressed princesses playing the piano and having fun.He was smiling and seemed happy.

She sighed, Dongfang Wei is a very good person, she has already regarded him as a confidant after not being together for a long time.Except for concealing her identity, she never concealed her true self when getting along, so if she explained it clearly to him, he should forgive her.

In the deep palace, she finally met someone she could talk to, and he was her only friend in the past 17 years. She didn't want to lose him!

However, seeing him having a good time with the princesses, why don't you disturb him at this time?What's more, with the princesses around, she didn't have a chance to have a good talk with him.Well, it's better to wait a while before going down to find him.

Xin Chen looked at her feet, it wasn't very high, but it was very difficult to get down.Why don't she just sit here and wait for him, and after the princesses leave, call him over and explain to him, and then she can go back the same way.

Having made up her mind, Xinchen changed to a more comfortable sitting position, then straightened her clothes, and then touched her hair, feeling a little messy, so she took out a small comb from her pocket to comb it again.

Oops, I was so embarrassed by the branches just now, seeing how rude Dongfang Wei is, of course I have to tidy it up!

What is she doing again?After not hearing the sound for a long time, Dongfang Wei couldn't help but look back and almost fell off the stool!She, she, she, she doesn't have to show off on his wall if she wants to dress up, right?
This disturbing stupid woman!Really can't see it anymore, Dongfang Wei gritted his teeth, okay, he surrendered!
At this time, Princess Pingle's zither sound stopped, and all the princesses praised in unison.Princess Pingle smiled, but seeing that Dongfang Wei didn't respond, she couldn't help but suppress her smile: "Teacher Dongfang, do you think I can't play well?"

"No, no," Dongfang Wei came back to his senses, and hurried to save himself from being absent-minded, "Princess Pingle's piano sound is really wonderful, I just lost my mind when I heard it, forgive me."

Princess Pingle's brows were beaming with joy, her pretty face feigned anger: "Pingle's piano skills are just mediocre, why is Taifu Dongfang praising him so much, it's clearly insincere!"

Dongfang Wei smiled and stood up, "Princess Pingle... Oh!" His face turned pale suddenly, his body swayed, his palms covered his forehead, and he sat back on the stool.If you don't try to send these princesses away, that woman will probably embroider flowers on the wall!
"Teacher Dongfang!" The princesses were shocked, "What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Dongfang Wei shook his head weakly, "It's not a problem, it's just an old problem. I will recover after a rest."

Princess Pingqi supported him and said: "Then why don't we go back first and let Taifu Dongfang rest for a while."

Dongfang Wei smiled weakly, "Princess Pingqi is really kind, but it's rare that all the princesses are interested, how dare I let my servant down the fun?"

Princess Pingqi, who received the praise, smiled from ear to ear, "Where is that, Mr. Dongfang is too polite, if you are not feeling well, go and rest, we will meet again some other day."

"That's right." The other princesses showed their kindness and kindness, not to be outdone, "It's because we disturbed him for too long and affected the rest of the master, so let's go."

Dongfang Wei smiled with satisfaction, "Then I will send all the princesses out."

"No need, no need, let's go by ourselves, Taifu can rest well." All the princesses said in unison.

Xinchen couldn't see it very clearly from a distance, she only knew that the princesses were leaving, while Dongfang Wei stayed where she was.Fearing that he would also leave, Xinchen raised her hand just as she was about to say hello——

"Come down!" Dongfang Wei said coldly, already under her in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" So he knew she was hiding here?Xinchen withdrew her hand and shook her head, "I'll just sit here." It's so troublesome to go down and wait a while to come up again.

The anger that Dongfang Wei had just lowered was aroused by her again, and he said word by word: "You come down."

Well?He seemed very displeased, Xinchen decided to listen to him, so he began to look around to find a way to get better.

She is still looking at the scenery?Dongfang Wei was so angry that she turned around and left, not wanting to see her anymore!
"Huh?" How did he leave?Xin Chen raised her voice and greeted: "Teacher Dongfang, Taifu Dongfang, I have something to tell you! Wait a minute!" Seeing that he didn't turn his head back, he leaned forward anxiously: "Dongfang——ah! Ah!" It fell unsteadily, and almost fell back when it hurriedly fell back.Then--

"Wow!" Suddenly Dongfang Wei hugged her around the waist and jumped down to the ground with her.

After standing still, Dongfang Wei immediately let go of her and stepped back to a distant distance.

"Well, thank you." Xin Chen murmured his thanks, peeking at his livid face.He seems to be very angry, I wonder if he will listen to her explanation?

Anyway, she wanted to try it out, but she finally met him!So Xin Chen stepped forward cautiously, and said softly, "Teacher Dongfang, are you... still angry with me?"

Dongfang Wei snorted coldly, walked into the next pavilion and sat down.

Xinchen followed up slowly, observing his expression carefully, "Don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean to lie to you. Really!" Dongfang Wei snorted again, he is not a stingy person, if she is calm for her If he apologized for deceiving him, he could still forgive her, but how could she still shirk it!
Knowing that he still didn't believe it, Xinchen sighed, "When we met for the first time and the second time, I know you mistook me for a court lady, but at that time I thought that we would never have anything to do again, so I didn't feel the need to ask You explain. Later we met in the library and we became friends. I admit that it was my fault for not explaining clearly to you at that time and causing you to misunderstand. I just felt that the identity of the princess was more sensitive at that time and I didn’t want to explain it deliberately. But I really didn't deliberately pretend to be a court lady to deceive you, because I don't look like a princess, and others can easily mistake me for a court lady."

Also said that she didn't deliberately pretend to be a court lady?Which princess can mend shoes with bare feet?What princess can't even get the book she wants to read?What princess would be so hungry?Which princess would have no attendants by her side?Do you really think Dongfang Wei is a fool?She did these things clearly to design him on purpose!
Dongfang Wei thinks he is not a person with no guts, he will not tolerate other people's harmless teasing, as long as she confesses generously and apologizes a little, he can definitely laugh it off.Having spent these days with her, I know that she is not a bad-hearted woman.What's more, he has already fallen in love with her, so he won't really be angry with her.

But she is still lying to him!Could it be that her relationship with him was deliberately designed?Her innocence is all fake?Dongfang Wei was truly heartbroken!He thought she was frank and sincere, but it turned out that her scheming was so deep!
What an idiot he is!I have always believed in her and worried about her.Worrying that her work will be very hard, worrying that she will be in danger, worrying that she will be hungry and cold.He even went out of his way to deliver food to her!Send food relief to a princess?What a joke!

"Teacher Dongfang?" Xin Chen looked at him and said a lot, but his face became more and more gloomy. He really won't forgive her?
Could it be that the two of them couldn't return to their previous harmony?Is this the end of their friendship?Xinchen's eyes were red, and she couldn't help reaching out to grab his cuff: "Dongfang Wei, don't be angry with me again, okay? I apologize to you, isn't that enough? What else can I do to calm you down? Dongfang Wei... ..." She didn't want to lose him!

Dongfang Wei turned his head and pulled back his sleeve.Who knows if she is lying to him again with her words?

Xin Chen stared blankly at her empty hands, which slowly dropped powerlessly, and tears fell down—is she irretrievable?This precious friendship is gone...

"You really won't forgive me..." Her faint voice sounded from behind, touching Dongfang Wei's heart.

After a long silence, Dongfang Wei sighed. He knew that he would surrender eventually, so he finally turned his head.Looking back, I saw her pitifully with tears streaming down her face.

No longer in the mood to put on airs, Dongfang Wei quickly wiped away her tears, "Why are you crying? Don't cry!" Because he was frustrated with his easy surrender, his tone was a bit rude.

Although he had a bad tone, he was finally willing to talk to her.Xinchen suddenly raised her head, "Are you willing to forgive me?"

Seeing her bright little face, Dongfang Wei snorted again, but didn't reply, just wiped away the remaining tear stains with all her strength.He is really useless, he was surrendered by her just like that!
"Dongfang Wei..." Xin Chen stared at him intently, is he still angry?

Dongfang Wei said: "Are you pretending to be a court lady to trick me, or to get close to me?" If it is the latter, it is understandable.

Did she pretend to be a court lady just to get close to him?Although she arranges surprisingly well every time she appears, it can be done if she has more eyes and ears.If she had gone to such lengths to get his attention, he would have been more than happy to forgive her!Who told him to fall in love with her?Being tricked by the one he loves, he can't afford to lose.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Xinchen hurriedly clarified himself, did he still think she was playing tricks on him? "I definitely didn't get close to you on purpose. We met by accident. Even I don't know how it happened by such a coincidence." How could she have such a great ability to calculate all this?
Dongfang Wei lowered her face again: "So, it was just a coincidence that you didn't want to meet me. And it just so happens that you are not used to wearing princess clothes, so I mistaken you for a court lady?" She still refused to admit it.

"Yes!" He finally understood, Xin Chen smiled, "I have never met you before, when we first met, I didn't even know you were Dongfang Wei unless you said your name. We have never met Guan Ge, of course I won’t deliberately design you!”

What is she saying?They've been involved since the beginning!Dongfang Wei said coldly: "Then why did your father marry you to me? Didn't you ask for it?"

"No! I've never met you, so why would I ask my father to marry you?" Besides, she couldn't get close to her father at all.

"Then why did the emperor want me to be your son-in-law?" He couldn't figure it out, since she didn't ask for it, given how popular he was among the princesses, why did the emperor only appoint this unfavored daughter?

Why do you want him to be a son-in-law? "Because you are outstanding! At that time, the emperor's birthday banquet seemed to be proposed by the queen, and then the queen mother also agreed, so the emperor ordered you to be a son-in-law." Xinchen recalled the process at that time, so ashamed. At that time, I thought the matter had nothing to do with me, and I only cared about the delicious food on the table, but I didn't understand it very well.

Where did she go?Dongfang Wei gritted his teeth and asked again: "I mean, why did the emperor point out 'you' to me?"

"Huh? Because I was the one who won the lottery." Xin Chen replied easily.

"Win?" Dongfang Wei narrowed his eyes with an ominous premonition, "Please explain."

explain what?Xinchen suddenly couldn't figure out what he meant, "I won the lottery, that is... I got a red head..."

draw... Draw lots? "Who draws lots? What lot? Tell me clearly!"

"Princesses draw lots! Father wants to recruit you to be his son-in-law, but he doesn't know who to point you to, so let us draw lots to decide." Why?He doesn't know about the lottery, does he?How can it be?

It's wonderful!His Dongfang Wei's life was decided by a lottery drawn by these women!It's... damn good!
"Dongfang... Taifu Dongfang?" His face was so scary, Xinchen called him twice cautiously.Why did he suddenly ignite the flames of anger soaring to the sky?

Dongfang Wei didn't say a word, but clenched his fists to calm down his anger.He has to be calm and not get angry, the other party is the emperor after all, if he beats him up, he will be punished, so he must not get angry, even if his life is regarded as a lottery red head—×××!He Dongfang Wei became the red head of the princesses drawing lots!
His livid face made Xinchen back away quietly, she could see that he was trying to restrain himself, not daring to disturb him, she sat quietly by the side.

For a long time, there was no sound in the garden, and suddenly Dongfang Wei's calm voice sounded: "Then you accidentally got the first lottery at that time, so you were married to me by the emperor?"

"Yes." Otherwise, Father would not have thought of her!Seeing that he had returned to normal, Xin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the rain was over and the weather was fine.

"Oh, actually you have no intention of marrying me?" Dongfang Wei seemed to be chatting.

"Yes." Not knowing the crisis hidden under Dongfang Wei's calm expression at this time, she was still trying her best to explain, "When we met, I thought it was a bit strange to tell you my identity suddenly; later, the father broke our engagement, and I even I don’t think it’s necessary to say it again. After we got acquainted, I was sensitive because of the identity of the princess. I didn’t want you to think that I was approaching you in an attempt to get you to choose me, so I didn’t say that I was Princess Pingrui. If you don’t know that I am a With the princess, we can get along more comfortably." She felt that if she suddenly told him that they had a short engagement, they would be a little embarrassed for each other.

Dongfang Wei felt that he was a big idiot!It turned out that she concealed the princess's identity because she didn't want to marry him. Fortunately, he still planned for the future of the two of them wishfully, and even planned how to divorce the emperor for her identity.It turns out that there is no need at all!
It turned out that he was hot from the beginning to the end, but she was desperately avoiding him!He was really a complete fool this time, Dongfang Wei has never been so embarrassed!
"Teacher Dongfang?" Xin Chen didn't know what he was silent about, and leaned closer to him, looking straight into his eyes.What's wrong?Why are his eyes so cold? "Teacher Dongfang, have you forgive me?" She thought he was not angry just now, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"What's wrong with you? You haven't done anything wrong, so why should I forgive you?" he replied.Where was she wrong, it was him!
"You...why do you say that?" Xinchen didn't understand what he meant, and now she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. "Are you still mad at me?"

Dongfang Wei smiled happily: "Of course not, how dare I be angry with Princess Rui?"

Xinchen felt her heart sinking, he was deliberately rejecting her, and his alienated tone made her very uncomfortable. "Can we... still be friends?" Is it really impossible to go back to the past?

He stared at her: "friend? What kind of friend?"

"It's just like before, a friend who can chat with each other. Of course, when you get married, don't meet often if it's inconvenient. It's fine to write letters once in a while." In short, she didn't want to cut off contact with him.

Only ghosts want to be friends like her!Dongfang Wei stood up abruptly, and directly issued the order to evict the guest: "I'm tired, princess, please go back first, forgive me for leaving!" He would lose control of himself if he continued talking!
"Dongfang..." Xinchen wanted to call out but stopped, watching him disappear into the corridor, lowered his head in disappointment, and sighed.Sure enough, the friendship between the two has come to an end.

Dejectedly, she came to the wall, looked up at the high wall, and sighed again, how could she still have the strength to climb up?
Xinchen walked around the wall, but didn't see half a suitable tree. In the end, she could only straighten her clothes, and walked out of the gate as if nothing had happened while the guard was stunned...

The question of when Princess Pingrui would enter the house troubled the two poor guards for a long time.

Taking another look at her daughter who was holding the bowl in a daze, Concubine Ning was so annoyed that she put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily.

Xin Chen was awakened by this abnormal sound, and she looked at her mother, "Mother."

"Do you still see me as a mother?" Concubine Ning said with a cold face.

"Mother, why do you say that? Did your daughter do something wrong?" Xinchen was shocked and at a loss when she had never heard her mother say such harsh words.

"Hmph, you still don't know what you did wrong?" Concubine Ning slapped the table, "I ask you, where did you go yesterday morning? Tell me the truth!" She sneaked out early in the morning and came back around noon. He has always been in such a distraught state, and he also knows that he has gone to Dongfang Wei's place.

Xinchen didn't want to lie to her mother, and honestly replied: "My daughter... went to the Dongfang Taifu's side."

"Sure enough...Xinchen, why, why didn't you listen to your mother?" Concubine Ning cried and beat her chest, "Dongfang Wei is something you can't love! It's not like you don't know how many princesses are determined to win him, you have no right How do the unpopular princesses with power compete with them? Aren’t you clearly causing trouble? Xinchen, mother, I’m telling you, as long as you live in peace, why don’t you listen?”

"No, mother, you have misunderstood. I am just friends with Taifu Dongfang, and I am not competing with other princesses." She never thought of competing with other princesses for the throne of Mrs. Dongfang.

Concubine Ning didn't believe it at all: "Friends? What kind of friends will there be between men and women? It's all a lie! Do you dare to say that you have no affection for Dongfang Wei? Do you dare to say that you are only limited to friendship?" It is not an affair between a man and a woman. Why would you still meet in the middle of the night?Sadly, my daughter has also learned to lie to her!
"We are really just friends, there is no love between us!" After retorting, she hesitated, covered her mouth and lowered her head hesitantly.That night, that tense atmosphere, that wonderful heartbeat, and... that kiss, what does it mean?Did they really not go beyond the range of friends?
"Xin Chen," Concubine Ning took a breath, "Are you really satisfied with just being his ordinary friend? Do you really have no delusions about him? No, there is only a thin line between men and women. As long as he gets along, you will demand more and become more and more dissatisfied until he gets tired of you! Xinchen, don't be the second mother!"

Xin Chen was silent, did she really think too simple?
She suddenly remembered that one day when the two were chatting, she asked him again which princess he would choose as his wife.After thinking about it, he gave her the answer: Princess Pingle.

At that time she nodded slightly: Princess Pingle is the best among princesses in terms of appearance, talent and temperament, and her mother is the most favored imperial concubine, she is indeed the best choice.

Why?At that time, she only thought it was his extremely smart choice, but thinking about it now, it made her heart ache!

Could it be because she can no longer see him as just an ordinary friend?
Suddenly, she remembered that yesterday she asked Dongfang Wei if she could continue to be friends, but he asked back, "What kind of friend?"-Could it be that he also noticed that the limit between them had exceeded the limit?

Concubine Ning put her arms around her stunned daughter, "Xinchen, listen to your mother and don't see him again. He is a dangerous person!" As a mother, she just wanted to do everything possible to protect her daughter.

Without answering, Xin Chen sorted out her thoughts in a daze.

Alas, how can it be so easy to sort out the thoughts of a girl who is just beginning to love her?As the saying goes, all kinds of melancholy, constant cutting, and chaos!
