到了大年初六，絳梢與羅頌棠悶悶地在剛開工的洛水堂發呆，下著大雨。她見衛付海與一個素淨可愛的姑娘在湖心的涼亭裡談笑，心裡更不是滋味。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfN5qSL6sU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJvzfJ1TEW
她差遣瑰瑜去竇府，希望竇姜能來接她進宮，見湘春公主。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrpbBQKjI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKULZr7sx9
然而竇府的人則說他已進宮服侍太子，不克前來。她心裡埋怨著竇姜，向頌棠道：「他一點兒誠意也沒有！平時也只叫我別想太多。平時相處的習慣，這種大事我要怎麼別想太多？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTW23L9MB
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1j2MVD7sA
頌棠安慰著她，給她倒茶：「郡主辛苦了，要不，跟茶樓借個車馬？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j8Cr2eoXS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s0CUqPSlq
「不，今日便罷了。」絳梢轉了轉眼珠，望向湖面的雨點漣漪，道：「橫看成嶺側成峰，遠近高低各不同。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NK3rkwNXp
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo65JHCnAhi
「郡主如此風雅，今日有什麼雅興？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFwT1viI2R
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOess8HDWG
「妹妹，我是不是被框住了？」絳梢呢喃：「我不喜愛這些規矩，所有繁瑣的規範！士農工商、君臣父子……。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMf0h5ljRO
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELN1IRMuX7
「依我看來，郡主不必擔心這個啊。」羅頌棠道：「郡主總是會做出……難以料想的妙舉！文采、巧思、天賦，個個都是難以望其項背。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkICdZQjMI
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49FfR2AwYL
回顧這幾個月，絳梢確實作了不少絕妙詩詞。意識到自己的進步，她才面色稍緩。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNMHZP5VGz
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ64hcvzEjb
「同輩女子之間，也不見有誰如郡主一樣，整日埋在書堆當中的！」羅頌棠道：「而郡主最令我佩服的，是察言觀色、處事待人。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TG6Ao3KtM
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSO2XW1Y1P
絳梢看著羅頌棠，心想這ㄚ頭果然細心，不得不佩服她的觀察力。絳梢確實喜愛研究人心，然而這番思考，並不似其他普通人只是為了療癒自我，而是一種深沉的探究、打量與批判。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCm7Ft6om
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNL3NmV6xP
她知道，大多數人覺得自己在思考，其實只是在整理偏見。不過真正的學問，要經歷了風風雨雨，才能看清世間面目。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokzAzrckFg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpvyIc7lcM
日子悶悶地過了。到了春分，便是霜降與汪祥鯉的大婚，京城喜氣洋洋，春意萌發，然而絳梢愈是不回府了。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLjSekny2a
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMY4pVY6wH
竇姜談及國家大事可謂滔滔不絕，然而說到兒女私情卻常常無言以對。就連孤男寡女共處一室，也是妥妥正人君子的舉措，完全不似以前汪祥鯉那般邪魅霸道的上下其手。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWzLo9PqK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDTcEoQbOB
「今日是我們在一塊兒的第四個月了，你沒有甚麼要說嗎?」絳梢拉著竇姜撒嬌。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1g40N68m2
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqxs8VMmhl
「是嗎?」他放下《中庸》，眨了眨眼，喉結滾動了一下，只道：「沒有呢。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6gOBmQTZE
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERQMrWl5jB
絳梢不甘心：「那你說說，你覺得我們還會在一起多久嘛！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaxiSp63fQ
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxnzFE9EWc
「我不知道。此時此刻相當珍貴，但我不確定未來還有甚麼。」他理性地分析。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcVNZV9Cj7
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5PHE4rBEm
絳梢看著無辜白淨、面如冠玉的他，心裡百般無奈。然而身邊的人，上至湘春公主、祹王妃等，下至瑰瑜、紗瑜，都認為竇姜是個好男人。宓劍也說，伴侶能成長進步，方才是佳偶成雙。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs40yEaAdhj
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04kykaPNuj
孟春、仲春、季春。日子一長，絳梢更覺得自己不喜愛竇姜，更常往皇宮裡去，索性當起湘春公主的琴師。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUI9hdquj4
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhsvdLYrzR
一個明媚的午後，她與湘春公主辦了小茶宴，愜意一番。公主邀了太子朱漓元、琉王府郡主朱舞花。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgeitODGXC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08WP13YvhK
茶芳流瀉，瀰漫著整個房間。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBorzzKzFHW
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP3PyFxiJW
舞花與絳梢同是王府郡主，然而一身渾然樸素，毫不比湘春公主那淡青綢緞、金絲刺繡的典雅端莊，亦不比絳梢那赭紅綾羅、烏亮紋路的明豔動人。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qzB9hYLaC
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbONBdpGty
絳梢的目光最終落在皇太子漓元身上，偷偷打量著他。絳梢從來沒見過他的面容，今天他竟罕見地露面。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ0vPUivTn
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiBH3QvpNV
太子漓元披著一件樸實素白的錦緞披風，然而裏頭是一件黑壓壓的常服，用烏亮的絲線暗繡著莊嚴的紋樣，氣魄攝人，果然有皇子之富貴榮華、文人之裊裊仙氣，更有蛟龍待飛之霸道深沉。高壯挺拔、氣韻非凡。一雙丹鳳眼帶著些許浪漫風流的媚態，似劍的眉宇又好似心懷天下，白淨的臉龐竟比竇姜秀氣個百倍。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZmfUyDe6
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWQvJj2x9y
皇太子未有妻室，平時不喜見人，只在屏風後休憩，或以羅扇遮面，誰知他竟是如此俊俏。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTZt8rWhiw
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjZVv8pDn
絳梢故作鎮定替他倒上熱茶，笑道：「小女子久仰大名，今日才得以見殿下面目。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqznHbX9zK
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOFsiAqRHL
「郡主好，久仰大名。」漓元用那俊俏的丹鳳眼掃了她一眼，坐在她的對面，一身陰柔媚惑的紙墨薰香散了開來。禁慾的黑色領口扣著精細的金玉之飾，更顯皇族華貴。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT1WTX5YYg
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl4JMwT2Za
他緩緩啜了一口茶，笑道：「我聽聞郡主與我的竇公子交好。近日過得如何？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfOnSpJepa
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQchMDRV9
「唉，待我很好！不過，個性上比較木訥。」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyGfvSYbmy
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLhzA6Lyp1
「竇公子是有些呆呆的。」漓元挑起劍眉，眼裡閃過一絲玩味，道：「很可愛啊。不太高，傻傻的，拿書跑腿時又身手敏捷，像白貂一般。可不是可愛極了？」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Hu3lWrlU
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxtqb1HVKR
太子漓元伶牙俐齒，談笑風生，絳梢被逗開心了。湘春公主問她要不要去花園，絳梢見太子不去，便也不去了。舞花隨公主去，房裡只剩他們兩人。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2htTTZ2Rvt
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThJvnxKL9m
漓元把錦緞披風解了開，嫌棄道：「這天氣熱死了！便是把樓蘭薰香燒完，空氣也不舒服！」53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQf27CSVS
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRD5JARECV
他慢條斯里地整理著布料，禁慾的黑色立領下是白皙完美的肩頸線條。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwcSPp832S
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRidkEQMjU
褪去披風，絳梢才見他身形之精實，黑色布料緊貼著精壯的胸膛、手臂，她的心跳不禁加速。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGh6BTwav
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmo6aW8XsG
漓元的丹鳳眼掃了她一眼，見到她在看自己，疑惑地挑起劍眉。絳梢一慌，趕緊撇開眼。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CY45UQUJc
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuB31FSq9L
「殿下，小女子……有事，先退下了！」絳梢意識到自己紅了臉，急躁地撇過頭奪門而出，留下疑惑的漓元。53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJcaTGRz7X
