Xia Zhi returned to the mansion after finishing his work in the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Xiu immediately went up to report to him when he saw it, saying that Jiu Yuan came to look for him today, and went back when he saw that he was not in the mansion.

Xia Zhi paused when he heard the footsteps, and said to Zhang Xiu in silence for a while, "I see!" and continued to walk into the house.

There was a pile of unread memorials on the desk in the study room, Xia Zhi walked to the table and sat down, picked up the memorials and looked through them, others envied Duan Wang for being favored by the emperor, but they didn't know that in this His hard work and heavy responsibilities under his grace.

Xia Zhi was giving instructions on the memorial when he heard someone's voice outside, after a while someone came in to report that Concubine Wan Fang had come.

Xia Zhi waited until he had finished writing the last word on the booklet, gently placed the pen on the sapphire grid, raised his head and said to the servant: "Let her in!"

After getting the order, the servant immediately withdrew to deliver the report. Wan Yingjiao waited outside for a long time. Seeing the servant come out, she hurriedly went up to ask Xia Zhi if she would like to see her. After getting a positive answer, she showed a relaxed smile and tidied up With the clothes on his body, he turned around and took the tray from the servant girl, and carried the soup cup into the room.

Seeing Xia Zhi bowing profusely, she said: "My concubine has met the lord, and the lord is well!" After speaking, she looked at Xia Zhi, she was already beautiful and charming, but now she had a coquettish smile on her face, shy and timid, even more so. She looks more charming than a flower.

Xia Zhi looked at her without moving, and said calmly, "Get up!"

Wan Yingjiao stood up happily after hearing this, she was not unhappy because of his cold attitude, she seemed to have gotten used to his cold personality, she stepped forward and said, "Try it, my lord, this is something I specially boiled for you." Ginseng soup!"

After speaking, he put the porcelain cup on the tray in front of Xia Zhi, opened the lid, and immediately a scent of fragrance came to his nostrils.

Xia Zhi looked at the ginseng soup in front of him, frowned imperceptibly, picked up the spoon, took a small spoonful, took a sip, and said: "Not bad! Yingjiao's hand very good!"

After listening to his praise, Wan Yingjiao smiled even more, and said modestly, "Thank you for your compliment, as long as you don't dislike it!"

Xia Zhi looked at her smiling face and asked, "I wonder what Yingjiao has been up to lately?"

Wan Yingjiao heard that he cared about her, she couldn't help but she couldn't help but complained softly: "What else can I do! I just play the piano and compose lyrics every day, but the prince doesn't come, even if I play well, no one appreciates it!" Years later, the prince seldom came to his Qinghe Zhai, even if he came, he would sit for a while and leave, not only his own, but the whole backyard, the prince came less!
Xia Zhi listened and explained: "Recently I have been busy with official duties, but I have been negligent!"

Wan Yingjiao scolded and said: "It's good that the prince knows!" After speaking, she looked at him affectionately from the corner of her eyes.

Xia Zhi continued to change the subject quietly, until Wan Yingjiao left the room with a smile on her face, she didn't notice that Xia Zhi didn't touch the ginseng soup except for the first sip!
Duanfangzhai.

There is a book of [Qingxin Mantra] on the desk, next to it is a paperweight of rice paper, one plain hand is holding a lake pen to write on the rice paper, and the other plain hand will occasionally turn the pages of the book.

If it's not Jiuyuan, which one is it!Since she came back from Bowenzhai, she has been copying the Buddhist scriptures [Qingxin Mantra]. She remembers that her father said when she was a child that writing can not only cultivate sentiment, but also calm the mind. , the habit of writing with a pen to calm the mind.

At this time, Cha Xiang hurried in to report that Xia Zhi had come to Duan Fang Zhai, and he had already passed Quqiao and would arrive soon.

Jiu Yuan's writing hand stopped, his head was lowered and he didn't know what to think, the ink on the tip of the pen gradually condensed into beads, and then unable to bear its own weight, it dripped onto the paper and slowly smeared on the paper Come.

When Jiuyuan came back to his senses, he saw that there was already a large stain on the good rice paper. He sighed lightly, as if everything he had done just now was for nothing. He put the pen in his hand on the grid, and took out the stained rice paper , due to the long time, the rice paper on the bottom has been stained with ink and cannot be used anymore.

Jiu Yuan threw away the few pieces of soiled rice paper, and went to the main hall with the fragrance of tea. When she arrived at the main hall, Xia Zhi had just arrived, and at this moment the servants brought the tea and slowly retreated.

Jiu Yuan came in and saluted him slightly, saying hello, Xia Zhi sat on the main seat, and when he saw him, he immediately asked her to excuse him, pointed to the seat next to her and told her to sit down.

After she sat down, she asked: "After I returned home, I heard from Zhang Xiu that you came to see me, but what's the matter?"

Jiuyuan didn't stop when he heard the movement of serving tea in his hand, but continued to bring it to his mouth, blew it lightly and took a sip before saying: "It's nothing serious, it's just that it's the end of the month again, thinking about it I'm afraid the prince's expenses are not enough, so I will tell the prince to go to the cashier to get the money, I have already told you!"

After speaking, he put the teacup on the table casually, and looked at the sky outside with a distant gaze. At this time, the sky was gradually slanting, and the clouds covered with gold were piled up, and the rays of light were shining from the gaps.

After hearing this, Xia Zhi stopped holding tea and turned his head to look at her, with a faint joy on his face, he said: "Marry a wife and a virtuous person, that's how it was at that time!"

This reduction in cost is okay for a short time, but it is indeed a headache for a long time. After all, he still has a large group of people behind him, and he restores everything to the way it was before. He is his king, and I am my business girl. , although they are in the same house but have no contact with each other, it is very good.

After hearing this, Jiu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the outside, glanced at him, bowed his head and smiled slightly: "Your Highness is over-reputed, this is what Jiu Yuan should do, how can you let His Highness struggle with money outside!"

Xia Zhi looked into her eyes with a smile, and said politely: "My Jiu Yuan is the most understanding!"

Jiu Yuan just laughed and said nothing, shook the hands hidden in his sleeves lightly and then let go, only to hear Xia Zhi continue to ask: "I heard about the tea party held by Wan Ping a few days ago, you will also go! "He didn't know this until Wan Yingjiao mentioned it.

Jiu Yuan looked at him sideways, as if he didn't expect him to know, then nodded and said: "Yes! It happens that I'm fine, so I'll join in the fun!"

Xia Zhi calmly agreed, "En! It's good to go out for a walk more!"

Unless it is necessary, she rarely goes to the banquets of the nobles in the capital. It is said that she has transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix, and she has taken on the airs of a princess. Send her an invitation.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiu Yuan said to Xia Zhi: "My lord! It's getting late, it's too inconvenient, I won't keep you any longer!"

Xia Zhi raised his eyes and looked at her deeply after hearing this, Jiu Yuan just lowered his head and didn't look at him, even the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

From the moment Jiuyuan entered the door, he felt that there was no difference, now he knows!It's attitude!It was her attitude towards him that returned to the original point, as if the harmonious relationship during this period was just a dream he had, and when he woke up from the dream, everything was still the same!
Xia Zhi looked at her fiercely and said, "Shang Jiuyuan! Hello! You are very good!" After speaking, he walked away!

After a long time, Jiu Yuan slowly raised his head, stood up and walked to the door, looked up at the direction where Xia Zhi was leaving for a long time, but there was no sign of Xia Zhi there, finally sighed, turned and walked to the table Sit down, pick up the cold tea on the table, and drink it in one gulp.

Prince Duan!When I first met him, I was young and ignorant of love, so I fell in love with him, and then I got a blow in the head. Would I still stumble on him again in a few years?
