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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsqgoQN4u2
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvy82vuHAX
她差遣瑰瑜去竇府，希望竇姜能來接她進宮，見湘春公主。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgu3TXXJuo
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRsNb7a5jw
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？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELwPXkWi8L
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uRERalRJ0
頌棠安慰著她，給她倒茶：「郡主辛苦了，要不，跟茶樓借個車馬？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCaSWKRq4i
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CDIpNz9vg
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NjSQTvHYm
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCCIU3q3Tr
「郡主如此風雅，今日有什麼雅興？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjzQpqzhQ3
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo50uTEdoK0
「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……。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRzbQwN0FX
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMmovKdGh
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPEl6o291
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08PLTPAtL
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO55sjIXbnb
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmerZixBPYA
「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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXHzVbG28v
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYOOUzaR2s
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d3rzkxoUf
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMvyjmEsv
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWgobqNQwC
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGWzkPvOT1
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLpEXX6mDW
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rxVoi7S4e
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uWGQDiOc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfz9a38ALx
「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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24xql6Dzgp
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgm0RhYU7J
「是嗎?」他放下《中庸》，眨了眨眼，喉結滾動了一下，只道：「沒有呢。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB4afQdTmF
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9tbldkCDH
絳梢不甘心：「那你說說，你覺得我們還會在一起多久嘛！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2GGcEBGCh
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbjOL5X1G9
「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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT6Tw1Vwxt
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwU17Tivmv
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGherVuFWww
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtfBTQsvqD
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8PgR6NJQc
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYszDcYZCKU
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOz5OmLsPv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUIpRJfpPq
茶芳流瀉，瀰漫著整個房間。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8l5QVqND5
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa4T7pqxbU
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Z2mcR3zz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7TGddQhQ1
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLNzeswE44
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRtlkYyGMF
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXjcuXaPcl
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QonGP7yER
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBPeAoBavo
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqrimM7cog
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。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYe4mgWvrz
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAfIpHllDD
「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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpYU5K0ZQB
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCuEQlsWT
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？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pvmVljuMg
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbnyShWqHP
「唉，待我很好！不過，個性上比較木訥。」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18O0b7spVt
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJHMrJ8gsc
「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？」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YOwtgiLfu
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGYPPq1XlR
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloPeOsRWqJ
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H7ZWmj5PU
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！」79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAfY5AdsxD
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjeLh0ktiX
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI56vmvb2On
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA46g0N7qh
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9NPzsRTv
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVh9zCxAAw
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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWKmH9oue
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvRrbVJXU
「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。79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AQptBCMQN
