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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9GZtLpzg7
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP519Hae65W
她差遣瑰瑜去竇府，希望竇姜能來接她進宮，見湘春公主。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74X8TPMUdH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMcaJpnNqo
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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgoGKbWXsh
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNUh7XalrA
頌棠安慰著她，給她倒茶：「郡主辛苦了，要不，跟茶樓借個車馬？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NrGKaVrtn
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34CXZ0vBbd
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3NKD3i2A
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOh2SCazFw
「郡主如此風雅，今日有什麼雅興？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hO6V6MzRV
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCo4DDYFmr
「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……。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgofDi1sT
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6sgYbsuK
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBsWuVy6QY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl34BjwbKg
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe65U7jo2p
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXfSYi53J
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6O2Dd4j6j
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HkKlLjMEI
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSD95jmjJr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG51030I8w
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GO8RT3DuG
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN8VLrnfz6
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSYJu7Zfr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYLJy0gT9
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDl7FKLoU
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXoVeGLOKb
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszueSIhn7h
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nfrbZ4oJC
「是嗎?」他放下《中庸》，眨了眨眼，喉結滾動了一下，只道：「沒有呢。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxI1Ej8MU
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Jc4UvqQo
絳梢不甘心：「那你說說，你覺得我們還會在一起多久嘛！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r8S2ta8El
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmbwEKCKGx
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tYxTtnAYt
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh4KiXWvgK
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fKJljqI7
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuJe7TBGTa
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP4sauGM3w
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGFNyE5Zj
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSFINIg8CR
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCyFFoPKF
茶芳流瀉，瀰漫著整個房間。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACeo2mOxhC
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KkIVDqe01
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86fgO8RVp
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XOa8yS92t
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fa9T01sjm
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTBEyeC8nE
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdBujxZFP
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQjWqy0C5A
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7mFAmeFN2
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhvGFY7Vhj
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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrNUPYgir
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82HER5jc5w
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTiIXKcgYh
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTYEIazLQQ
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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6ss7a5NK
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17v5JqofZc
「唉，待我很好！不過，個性上比較木訥。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6HW6LceR
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mo8YYInqZ
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpREKxyawlC
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7uq1u5zGV
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxSoY7JYsZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGrFrAilU
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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihLIexznZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYD5WX4Rwg
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LYGJj6Ceg
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUuwT6XNEJ
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjujHdsjul
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7FXAP0TU
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEl6j1fVC1
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDqtcj4p4L
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3rCgy9Slu
