Chapter 029 Chapter 29 (1+2+3 more)
At lunch time.
Xu Duanyi sat next to Empress Dowager Zhaoyu, on the other side was Xie Qingya, and to Xie Qingya's right was the Shao Emperor.
Compared to Xie Qingya's calmness.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhaoyu looked much uglier than when they met in the morning, the dirty young emperor couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Restless.
Of course he knew the reason for his mother's sudden change.
Although this method could alienate his mother and Cao Da, he was also worried that his cousin would be punished for it... He was terrified, but didn't know what to say.
If he spoke at this time, it would only make his mother even angrier.
I had no choice but to sit there and do it.
Naturally, he didn't dare to move until Empress Dowager Zhaoyu started eating.
I glanced to my side.
Fortunately, my cousin did not behave unruly on purpose this time, otherwise, he would be really worried that the Queen Mother would be angry.
"aunt."
Xu Duanyi spoke first, breaking the strange silence in the room.
She personally served food to Empress Dowager Zhaoyu: "Try this mutton-fat chive pancake."
Empress Dowager Zhaoyu took one look at the fragrant chive pancake and finally took her eyes off Xie Qingya.
"Did you do this too?" She asked Xu Duanyi with a frown.
Seeing Xu Duanyi nodding with a smile, Empress Dowager Zhaoyu frowned even more and said angrily, "You are not afraid of hard work."
No wonder Zhao Zhao took so long to come back just now.
It turns out that not only chicken custard but also chive pancakes were made.
Although she originally had no appetite, she was reluctant to refuse her kindness, so Empress Dowager Zhaoyu said nothing more. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chive cake and took a bite.
The crispy and delicious pastry is filled with tender lamb, cheese and seasonings.
Even though Empress Dowager Zhaoyu had a poor appetite in the past two days, after taking this bite, her appetite widened and her brows relaxed a lot.
Dan Feng, who had been taking care of her for decades, naturally understood her best. Seeing her face relaxed, she smiled and served her another bowl of sour radish and duck soup.
"You can eat it with this old duck soup. The kitchen has been stewing it all morning. It is very refreshing."
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. Empress Dowager Zhao Yu didn't say anything, but just said: "Serve Zhao Zhao a bowl too."
"You must be hungry after working all morning. Eat more. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes today."
These words were said to Xu Duanyi.
Xu Duanyi would naturally not refuse, she smiled and said yes.
However, there were still two people who hadn't started eating yet, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty and Prince, hurry up and eat too."
Without Empress Dowager Zhaoyu's words, the young emperor dared not move.
Xie Qingya glanced at Xu Duanyi.
He didn't expect that at this time, Xu Duanyi would actually be willing to speak for him.
Complex emotions.
But Xie Qingya didn't show any sign on his face. He even just glanced at Xu Duanyi and then looked away.
"Okay, you guys eat too." Empress Dowager Zhaoyu didn't want to make things difficult for Zhao Zhao, so she spoke. The emperor opposite her respectfully nodded and picked up his chopsticks.
With a quick glance, I saw Xie Qingya starting to eat the food without any hesitation.
Immediately, a surge of inexplicable anger rushed to her brain, and Empress Dowager Zhaoyu was so angry that she wanted to slam her chopsticks.
But seeing Zhao Zhao beside him...
Empress Dowager Zhaoyu suppressed her anger and turned her gaze away, trying not to see anything.
"Your Majesty, please taste this cake."
Xu Duanyi took the initiative to break the deadlock and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a chive pancake for the young emperor. Later, he picked up one for Xie Qingya next to him.
"The prince also tasted it."
Xie Qingya was eating as if nothing had happened, but when he heard this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Xu Duanyi.
She looked normal and couldn't tell anything was wrong.
Even looking into his eyes, they were gentle and smiling.
For a moment, he was somewhat confused. Did she know what he had just said?
If she didn't know, why did she leave like that?
It was as if she was avoiding meeting him.
Xie Qingya didn't understand.
He looked at Xu Duanyi with a dark brow.
Seeing him like this, Xu Duanyi thought he didn't like it. When she was about to take the chopsticks back to herself, she heard Xie Qingya's low voice coming from the side.
"Thank you very much."
As Xie Qingya spoke, he lowered his eyes and picked up the fragrant mutton-fat chive pancake with the chopsticks that Xu Duanyi extended to him.
Xu Duanyi smiled and said it was okay.
After that, she ignored them and just ate her meal, occasionally picking up a few chopsticks for Empress Dowager Zhaoyu.
Finish lunch.
The young emperor sat with them for a while, then took his leave, leaving only Xu Duanyi and his wife.
Empress Dowager Zhaoyu had the habit of taking a nap.
Xu Duanyi understood and saw that she looked tired, so he prepared to go back with Xie Qingya first.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhaoyu said nothing.
If it was an obedient and satisfied nephew-in-law, Empress Dowager Zhaoyu would have certainly given him some strict instructions, but it was this unruly guy.
She was too lazy to read or talk more.
She just told Xu Duanyi: "Take good care of yourself. If you have any grievances, just come and tell your aunt."
"Your aunt will decide for you."
This was a blatant threat in front of Xie Qingya.
Xu Duanyi's heart tightened.
She instinctively wanted to see Xie Qingya's reaction at this moment, but she suppressed her desire, lowered her eyes, and responded softly.
"Dan Feng, send Zhao Zhao out."
Empress Dowager Zhaoyu told Danfeng that she was indeed a little sleepy, and she yawned with her hands covering her lips.
Obviously he is running out of energy.
Dan Feng should be.
After Xu Duanyi stood up, he bowed to Empress Dowager Zhaoyu again and told her to have a good rest and eat well. After Empress Dowager Zhaoyu agreed to everything, he walked out with Xie Qingya.
After leaving the gate of Shoukang Palace, Xu Duanyi politely declined Aunt Danfeng's offer to continue seeing her off.
"Aunt, please go back first."
"This……"
Dan Feng looked hesitant.
She came out on orders.
"My aunt can't be without someone by her side, and I'm familiar with this road. You should go and accompany her," Xu Duanyi said to her with a smile.
Seeing her say this, Dan Feng no longer hesitated.
She bowed to Xu Duanyi again and said, "Goodbye." As for Xie Qingya, she just bowed and said nothing else, then turned around and went back.
Watch her leave.
Xu Duanyi then said to Xie Qingya, "Prince, let's go back too."
Xie Qingya hummed lightly.
Bixi followed behind the two of them.
Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya walked in front.
It was the same route they had taken, and the two of them remained silent until they saw a familiar place. Xu Duanyi suddenly spoke, "I remember the first time I met the prince, it was there."
The brain almost jumped out of place quickly.
Xie Qingya looked over and saw that it was indeed that.
Not knowing why Xu Duanyi suddenly brought this up, Xie Qingya looked at the familiar place in silence.
Xu Duanyi didn't care whether he spoke or not.
Instead, she continued to talk to herself, "I had just entered the palace and was not familiar with the place. The palace maid took me to look for my cousin, but I lost my handkerchief on the way, so I turned back to look for him."
"I was standing there alone, feeling awkward."
“That’s when the prince appeared.”
Xie Qingya looked over there and recalled what happened at that time.
Xu Duanyi was so pitiful at that time, just like a kitten that was abandoned when it was born.
Although I didn't cry.
His pair of bright black eyes were wide open, and his eyes were filled with tears, which looked pitiful.
She was trembling with fear towards everything around her, as if any loud noise would scare her.
At that time, he just thought that the man looked unfamiliar.
I didn't know that she was the younger sister of the Xu family who lost her mother at a young age.
He is not actually a nosy person.
Besides, the Japanese man was in a bad mood when he came here, but perhaps because Xu Duanyi looked so pitiful, he still went over and talked to her.
"Um."
Thinking of what happened at that time, he suddenly hummed.
Xu Duanyi didn't expect him to come back.
Xu Duanyi was somewhat surprised. She looked up at Xie Qingya and asked, "Does the prince still remember?"
Xie Qingya heard the surprise in her tone, but hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything. His hands were clenched on his thighs. He didn't know what to say.
He also didn't know what Xu Duanyi wanted to do by mentioning this.
I can only continue to remain silent.
Although she didn't hear his answer, Xu Duanyi didn't feel sad.
Xie Qingya's "hmm" was enough to represent everything. In fact, even if he forgot, Xu Duanyi would not think anything of it.
She originally mentioned this not for Xie Qingya to remember.
It's not for reminiscing about the past.
Xu Duanyi lowered her eyes naturally, looking at the familiar place. She continued to speak softly, "I was timid at that time, and I didn't know who you were, so I didn't dare to talk to you."
In fact, it wasn't because I felt Xie Qingya was a stranger that I didn't dare to talk to him.
But Xie Qingya looked really fierce at that time.
It was only later that she found out that Xie Qingya was forced by his family to come to the palace to be the Crown Prince's study companion.
He was a person who couldn't stay still, and wanted to follow his father and brother to the battlefield, but he was forced by the eldest princess to come to the palace to learn etiquette and rules, so he was naturally very resentful.
I heard that every time he entered the palace, he would cause chaos and no one could do anything about him.
If he hadn't lost the bet with the Crown Prince and had to stay in the palace, he would have run away long ago.
Therefore, when Xu Duanyi saw Xie Qingya for the first time, he felt that this man was a troublemaker who was not easy to deal with. Since he didn't know his identity, he naturally didn't dare to pay attention to him.
At that time, Xie Qingya saw that she ignored him and was about to leave.
But I don't know why, I stayed.
But he didn't talk to her.
He squatted on a stone, minding his own business, without any manners at all.
At that time, Xu Duanyi didn't know why Xie Qingya stayed here. He just felt that this man was not someone he could easily mess with, so he secretly moved aside, thinking that the farther away from him the better.
Until the palace maid found the handkerchief and came back to look for her, he suddenly patted his butt and left without even saying a word. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team for you. She realized it belatedly at that time, and Xie Qingya might have stayed for her.
每每想到這些從前的事情時，徐端宜的心髒總是最柔軟的。
就連眉眼間也滿是溫柔的笑容。
她從小就知道，謝清崖這副桀骜不馴的外表下，藏着一顆十分柔軟的心。
即便如今。
她也深信不疑。
她深信，他骨子裏，依舊是從前那個正義、仗義的少年。
“姨母的話，王爺不必放在心上，我沒那麽愛告狀。”徐端宜忽然壓下聲音。
她怕謝清崖記挂着剛才姨母說的話。
她能感覺到。
她這句話說完之後，頭頂忽然垂落的視線。
徐端宜一點猶豫都沒有。
她在謝清崖的注視下，輕輕擡起了臉。
她把自己完全暴露在他的眼下，任謝清崖可以清晰明了地掃視她全部的情緒。
她想告訴謝清崖。
她想借此證明，她是無害的。
她是不會傷害他的。
即便她清楚。
他不會那麽輕易相信她，但她還是想那麽做。
“你……”
謝清崖的聲音帶着遲疑，一點點，在徐端宜的耳邊響起。
就在徐端宜安靜等着謝清崖繼續往下說的時候，他們的身後卻忽然傳過來一道略顯尖細的聲音。
“長公主，王爺。”
徐端宜清楚地看到謝清崖這一瞬間，眉眼間的短暫變化。
那原本帶着茫然、遲疑的神情，在這一瞬間，全部化作利刃，化作尖銳的風霜與寒雪。
若空氣可以化成刀刃。
那此刻，她的眼前，必定滿是密密麻麻的一片鋒銳。
這一刻的謝清崖，令徐端宜感到心驚，也讓她的心急速跳動了幾下。
只是等她再看過去的時候，謝清崖的神情便又恢複如常，不僅如此，他那原本投落在她臉上的視線，也被他全部收了回去。
他重新站直了身子。
原本臉上出現的遲疑和茫然，已全部消失。
他的臉上，又變回最初的漠然了。
就好像她先前所看到的一切，都是她的幻想。
身後腳步聲越來越近。
屬于曹達的聲音，再次在他們身後響起。
“遠遠瞧着，還以為認錯了，想起今日是長公主帶着王爺進宮的日子，便特地來給你們問個好。”曹達笑吟吟在他們身後說着，卻沒有上前與他們行禮的意思。
反而是等着他們主動開口。
徐端宜早在曹達過來的時候，就把視線從謝清崖的臉上收了回來。
她回過頭與曹達問好：“曹公公。”
曹達笑吟吟诶了一聲，跟徐端宜說：“長公主好。”
他說完看向謝清崖。
但謝清崖卻連看都沒看他，只做不耐煩得跟徐端宜說道：“走不走？”
他這一番表現，曹達臉上并沒有什麽變化。
倒是跟在曹達身後的小太監，立刻沉下臉，對着謝清崖訓斥道：“——大膽！”
徐端宜聞言，蹙眉。
她正要說話，但謝清崖已經頭也不回地先往前走了。
徐端宜看着他離開的身影。
她沒有喊謝清崖，讓他停步等她。
反而在走之前，轉過頭，跟曹達說道：“小公公有些沒規矩，曹公公日後還是換一個吧。”
“公公作為司禮監掌印，身份貴重，若身邊都是這等奴才，日後別說旁人有想法，只怕禦史們也得彈劾公公管教不嚴了。”
徐端宜說這話時，并未動怒。
她的語氣很平靜，就連看向曹達的目光也是沉靜的。
但她這一番話，還是令曹達覺得心驚不已。
曹達原本正在看謝清崖離開的身影，眼底藏着審視的探究，此時聽到徐端宜這一句，臉上的笑意忽然有些僵住了。
他的視線，從遠處收回，而後投落到徐端宜的身上。 本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理 這位素有賢名的長公主，在曹達的眼中，一直都是聽話，且好說話的。
宮裏幾乎沒人說她不好，許多人都受過她的恩惠。
曹達也從未聽說過，她處置過什麽人。
明明擁有無上的權力，卻始終溫柔得仿佛一汪平靜的湖水一般。
看着一點都不像是那位教出來的。
也因此，他從未把她放到眼裏過。
可此時——
這位嘉順長公主，就那麽安安靜靜地站着，神情不怒不憤，卻自有一番上位者的氣勢。
令人不敢輕易忤逆。
這若是換作其他人，只怕這會早就要埋下頭了。
但曹達畢竟是曹達。
他并沒有立刻回答徐端宜的話，而是看着徐端宜笑道：“看來長公主很滿意這樁親事？”
“不過我瞧，南安王倒并不是很滿意這樁親事呢，要不然也不至于這樣丢下長公主就走。”
他說話的時候，眼中含着打量。
徐端宜自是瞧見了。
她沒有一點躲避的意思，任曹達審視着她。
“滿不滿意，我如今都是南安王妃，公公的人打南安王的臉，便是打我的臉。”
“難道曹公公覺得我會坐視不管嗎？”
她這麽說。
反倒讓曹達有些捉摸不透，她到底是個什麽心思了？
是真的替那南安王說話，還是顧及自己的臉面？
又看了徐端宜一會。
見她雙眸清明，望着他的視線，卻始終未曾避開，曹達最終還是在她的注視下，一點點低下頭，故作好脾氣地與徐端宜說道：“長公主說的是。”
“底下的狗東西不敬，惹了長公主不快，奴才回頭就讓人送去慎刑司處置了。”
徐端宜不置可否。
聽曹達說完，便收回視線，轉身走了。
沒走幾步，她就聽到身後傳來那小太監的哀求聲：“老祖宗，我……”
話還沒說完，就被曹達冷然的聲音打斷了：“還不拉下去。”
“是！”
幾聲答應之後。
便是那小太監被人帶走的動靜。
徐端宜沒回頭，繼續往前走。
“主子……”
碧溪跟在她身邊，目露愁緒。
她跟着徐端宜在宮裏長大，自然知道曹達的手段，也知這人最是睚眦必報。
她怕主子今日此舉，會惹得曹達不快。
若真被那曹達記恨上……
碧溪想到這，便滿肚子愁緒。
“沒事。”
徐端宜知道她想什麽，安慰她：“曹達還不敢對我做什麽。”
曹達便是權力最大。
說到底，也不過是個太監，得靠人扶持，才能站穩腳跟。
他仗着身份，逼着她嫁給謝清崖，已讓姨母對他心生不耐。
曹達也不是傻子，不可能再明知故犯。
她今日這麽做，便是想讓曹達和他身邊的那些人清楚，她的夫君，不是誰都能大呼小叫的。
只是想到，她跟謝清崖之間的氣氛，剛剛才好一些，可如今被曹達這麽一打斷，估計又要回到最開始了。
徐端宜無聲嘆了口氣，心裏也終于是升起了一點愁緒和郁悶。
“今日這長公主是怎麽了？難不成她真喜歡這位南安王不成？”曹達身邊這會只剩下一個随身太監，亦是曹達的義子兼心腹，名喚陳立。
他看着徐端宜走遠的身影，揪起眉毛。
“要真是如此，那義父這次真是選錯人了。”陳立有些擔心。
曹達看着徐端宜的背影，淡淡說道：“你當她是誰？”
“什麽？”
陳立有些沒明白這個問題，他讷讷答道：“嘉順長公主啊……”
“她是壽康宮那位一手調教出來的，生得一顆七竅玲珑心，最是聰慧不過，喜歡謝清崖？”
曹達嗤笑：“她敢喜歡嗎？”
雖然的确不滿徐端宜今日讓他下不來臺，剛才也的确有所猜測，她的心思。
但曹達很快就想通了。
他們這位長公主，恐怕比誰都清楚，她嫁進南安王府是為了什麽，她怎麽敢喜歡？
何況就謝清崖那個态度，誰又會喜歡他？
曹達嗤笑。
陳立聽他這麽說，倒也松了口氣。
他剛剛是真有些擔心。
“那小四那……”
說的是剛才那位被徐端宜點名的小太監。
陳立以為義父會跟從前似的，重拿輕放，小懲小戒也就過去了。
未想這次義父竟是擰眉不耐道：“沒腦子的東西，讓慎刑司處置了。”
竟是沒有要保人的意思。
“義父？”
陳立驚呼，不明白義父這次為何這麽做。
他還想替人說話。
曹達忽然回過頭，一點表情都沒有的，瞥了他一眼。
一眼便讓陳立臉色煞白，再不敢多嘴，陳立埋下頭，肩背緊繃，不敢說話了。
“要怪就怪他命不好，得罪錯了人。”曹達語氣淡淡，心裏卻也有些煩。
他聽說謝清崖今日在壽康宮，當着他們那位天子的面，說是要去暢音閣聽戲。
這事他都知道了，壽康宮那位怎麽可能不知道？
雖然知道這謝清崖如今纨绔浪蕩，但曹達也沒想到，他的膽子竟然這麽大！
倒讓他一時有種，搬起石頭砸自己的腳的感覺。
他是想警告壽康宮的那位，卻不想，真的與她為敵。
兩敗俱傷并不是什麽好法子。
這快活日子，他也還沒過夠呢。
只是如今再後悔，已然無用。
“日後再見着那位長公主，都自己學聰明些，別得罪自己得罪不起的，真出了事，咱家也護不住你們。”
曹達說着便沉着臉轉身離開了。
顯然，被徐端宜這樣下臉面，他的心情也不好。
陳立低聲應是。
跟在曹達身後，他沒再提小四的事，而是說起別的：“剛剛義父看那南安王，覺得如何？”
剛才義父特地過來，就是為了親眼看一看那南安王，斷一下他的虛實。
曹達沒有立刻說話。
過了好一會，就在陳立還想再喊人一聲的時候，他才開了口：“不知道。”
這還是陳立第一次，見義父用這樣不确定的語氣說話。
他心下吃驚無比。
曹達的确看不出來。
要今日這位南安王與陛下争執起來，或是陛下當時拂袖而走，他都能直接确定這兩人有鬼。
偏偏這兩人竟是下了一早上的棋。
還有這南安王又是要去暢音閣，又是對那長公主這麽不客氣……倒真讓他分辨不出真假了。
“府衙的人怎麽說？”他問陳立。
陳立不敢隐瞞，據實回道：“咱們的探子回報，說這位南安王到任三個月，卻一件差事都沒辦過，每日去府衙就是在自己的公房裏睡覺，要麽就是溜出去，一應差事都是交給底下的府丞他們辦的，引得府衙的人對他十分不滿。”
“溜出去？他做什麽？”
“本是想去喝花酒的，但護國公府那位世子爺，早在去年就發了話，不準任何一家青樓接待南安王，但凡有違令者，都會被嚴查。就連從前跟那南安王玩得要好的那些人，如今也對此頗為忌憚，生怕牽連到他們身上，平日也不大跟南安王來往了。”
“所以這陣子，這南安王大多時候都是去茶樓聽戲。”
這麽聽下來，倒是也沒什麽特殊的。
依舊是那纨绔子的做派。
但曹達畢竟不敢太放心，仍吩咐陳立：“繼續盯着。”
“是！”
……
這邊父子倆說着走遠了。
另一邊，徐端宜也帶着碧溪走回到了馬車停放的地方。
先前碧溪還有所擔心，怕那南安王不等她們就先走了，這會瞧見馬車還在，她不由松了口氣。
“王妃。”
昌豐仍等在馬車外頭。
看到徐端宜過來，他忙與人拱手問好。
态度仍是恭敬的。
徐端宜與他點了點頭，又朝他身後的馬車看了一眼。
昌豐見到徐端宜的動作，便壓着聲音與徐端宜說了一句：“王爺在裏面。”
先前王爺沉着臉過來，王妃卻不見蹤影，他詢問之後，才知王爺是碰到了曹達。
曹達和長野之戰脫離不了幹系。
若不是曹達身處宮中，王爺身上又有太多的掣肘，不敢輕舉妄動，只怕早就要拼死殺了曹達為老王爺和世子他們報仇了。
“多謝。”
徐端宜跟昌豐道了一聲謝。
她往馬車走去。
走到馬車旁，她的內心卻忽然生出一抹猶豫。
明明她什麽都沒做。
可在曹達出現的那一刻，她便知道自己沒法那麽坦然地面對謝清崖了。
可碧溪不知道她在想什麽。
在徐端宜還猶豫不決的時候，她已經先上前替她掀起了車簾。
當下。
馬車內的情形，全部落于徐端宜的面前。
她看到謝清崖坐在裏面，還是早上來時那個位置，也看到桌上那一盞未喝完的茶。
那是今早，她倒給謝清崖的……
但那只早間朝她伸出來的、有力的手，這次卻未再伸出。
謝清崖合着雙眼，坐在裏面，一動不動，就好像睡着一般。
徐端宜知道他沒睡，也知道他此時并不想看到她。
微垂眼簾。
徐端宜心生退縮。
此時再回去，難免惹得姨母懷疑。
徐端宜只能踩着腳踏，被碧溪扶着上了馬車。
車簾在她身後落下。
她也坐回到了早上的那處位置。
徐端宜沒有注意到，在她進來之前，謝清崖那修長的手指，動彈了幾下，最終又被他按捺下。
回去這一路。
謝清崖閉着眼睛，從始至終并未說話。
徐端宜幾次看着他的臉，想開口，最終卻也沒說什麽。
一路寂寂回到王府。
直到停下馬車，謝清崖才睜開眼。
兩人面對面坐着，不可避免能看到對方的臉。
四目相對。
兩人的神情都有些變化。
但只是對視了一眼。
謝清崖便先收回視線，挑簾下了馬車。
徐端宜看着他的身影，紅唇微張，最後也沒喊住人。
她在裏面靜坐一瞬，然後亦彎腰從馬車出去。
讓她意外的是，謝清崖并沒有直接離開，而是停在馬車旁。
她原本還以為，他會直接走的。
但徐端宜也沒多想。
只當謝清崖這麽做，是不想讓鄧姑姑知曉，免得她再絮叨。
鄧姑姑是挺會絮叨的。
她也不想他被絮叨。
外頭還有很多人，不願旁人瞧出他們兩人之間的端倪，免得他們胡亂猜測。
徐端宜調整好心情，臉上也重新揚起了溫柔的笑容，與謝清崖說了回來這一路的第一句話：“王爺公務繁忙，先去忙吧，我也回房了。”
她說着，便把手放到了碧溪的手上，低下眼簾，由碧溪扶着她走下馬車。
謝清崖就站在馬車旁。
徐端宜不可避免，與他站到了一處。
徐端宜沒有看到，謝清崖先前那落在她手上的視線，見謝清崖并未動身，她還疑惑地喊了人一聲：“王爺？”
謝清崖重新擡起眼簾。
與她四目相對，謝清崖本想直接離開，就像先前一樣。
但看着她這張溫柔如春水一般的臉龐，看着她那雙黑亮的雙眸，想到先前他們在宮裏時，她說起他們初見時的回憶……他就忍不住想起，當初那個可憐又怯弱，睜着一雙無辜又可憐的眼睛，看着他的小女孩。
謝清崖最終還是沒辦法，直接離開。
他垂下眼簾，低啞着嗓子同徐端宜說了聲：“……抱歉。”
再多的話，卻說不出口了。
但光這一句，就足以令徐端宜感到震驚了。
她沒想到謝清崖，竟然會與她道歉。
雖然不知道，在他身上究竟發生了什麽，但有一點，她能感覺出來。
謝清崖很讨厭曹達。
甚至可以說得上是厭惡了。
今日在宮裏，他身上的那一份轉變，并不是她眼花瞧錯了，而是真的。
她當然不會怪謝清崖，她從來就沒怪過他。
因此，她在短暫的驚訝之後，便再度揚起柔和的唇角，與他笑了起來：“沒事的，我并沒有怪王爺。”
其實還有許多話想說，想問。
她想問，他身上究竟發生了什麽？這些年的變化，真的只是因為謝伯伯他們的離世嗎？還有，為什麽那麽恨曹達，他究竟都做了什麽……
如果姨母和曹達是擔心他在僞裝，怕他終有一日會領着冀州軍扶持陛下掌權。
那他呢？
他是為了什麽？
但徐端宜知道，她沒有這個資格問他，謝清崖也絕不可能與她說這些。
多說多錯。
保不準還會引來謝清崖的猜忌和懷疑，把他們如今好不容易才擁有的這一點平和，再度打破掉。
徐端宜舍不得。
也不想看到謝清崖那張陌生冷漠的臉。
壓抑着心中滿肚子的疑問，徐端宜只是再度與謝清崖柔和笑了笑：“那我先過去了，今日折騰了一日，王爺也回去好好歇息吧。”
說罷。
她想到今早看到謝清崖困頓疲憊的樣子。
雖然謝清崖說了不是因為床的緣故，但徐端宜覺得還是有必要，與他申明下自己的想法。
不能這麽坦然地就接受了。
“臨風閣畢竟是王爺日常所居，若王爺在書房待得不舒服，盡可遣人與我來說，我沒事的。”
仗着這會身邊只有碧溪和昌豐。
其餘人都離得有些遠，不可能聽到他們的說話聲，徐端宜又低下聲音與謝清崖說了一句：“我住哪都可以。”
既然坦露了心扉。
徐端宜便也不在意再坦露得多一些：“我知道王爺不喜歡這樁親事。”
謝清崖沒想到，她會突然說起這個。
他下意識皺了皺眉，張口想說些什麽，又重新閉上。
他沒什麽好解釋的。
他的确不滿意這樁親事，換作任何人嫁給他，他都不會滿意，都會心生忌憚。
可是對方是她……
他明知該警惕，卻又忍不住因為她心緒萬千，一次次打破自己本來的計劃，一次次忍不住和她開口。
全沒了最開始的果斷。
負在身後的手，緊握成拳，謝清崖看着徐端宜沒說話。
“這樁親事，我沒辦法拒絕。”
“但我保證，在王府的這些日子，我不會打擾王爺的，我也不會讓任何人跑去姨母那邊告狀。”
“所以無論是臨風閣，還是別的，王爺盡管随自己的心意就好，不必在意我。”
嫁給他第三日。
她終于有機會，好好把自己的心裏話，說與他聽了。
這讓徐端宜松了口氣。
雖然不清楚謝清崖會不會相信，但徐端宜覺得，這總比什麽都不說要好。
說完沒聽到謝清崖的回答。
徐端宜也不在意，她與謝清崖欠了欠身，說了句：“那我先回去了，王爺有什麽話，盡管遣人來與我說。”
而後也不等謝清崖回複。
她便帶着碧溪，轉身離開了這邊。
After she left, Changfeng glanced at the prince beside him, then at the princess who was leaving. He hesitated and retracted his gaze, and asked the prince beside him: "Prince, do you think what the princess just said is true?"
Xie Qingya did not answer him immediately.
He was also watching Xu Duanyi's leaving figure, watching longer than anyone else.
Only when he could no longer see it did Xie Qingya withdraw his gaze and lower his eyelids.
He didn't know what he was looking at.
"I have no idea."
For some reason, Xie Qingya's voice became a little hoarse at this moment.
Having said this, he stopped talking.
Changfeng didn't ask any more questions.
This question cannot be clarified by just asking a few questions.
But when the princess said those words just now, she was so sincere... If this can be an act, then their princess is really amazing.
——This is too hurtful to the prince.
Chang Feng looked at Xie Qingya's figure and silently added this sentence in his heart.
He couldn't imagine.
If one day, it is found that everything the princess said was false, then what will the prince do?
