When they heard the arrival of Princess Jinyang, everyone in the newspaper office was a little surprised at first, but then they all started to take action, either clearing away the clutter on the table or tidying up their appearance, especially the young people, who seemed very excited. . ¡òLiterature Hall They all know that Princess Jinyang is His Majesty¡¯s favorite daughter today, and she is also His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s favorite sister. And she has not yet been married. If she is chosen by the other party, it will be equivalent to Reach the sky in one step.
Shangguan Tingzhi also knew about this most popular princess in the Tang Dynasty, and also heard that this princess was so beautiful that she refused to marry even when she was twenty years old. Many young scholars were in admiration for Princess Jinyang. But he didn't know that Princess Jinyang was the woman he thought about day and night, Mingda.
Because Shangguan Tingzhi already had a place in his heart, he didn't have any other thoughts about the arrival of Princess Jinyang. He just followed etiquette and sorted out the messy things on the table, and then continued to eat his own steamed buns with his eyes focused in front of him. There are so many manuscripts that he needs to proofread. If he doesn't hurry up, he might have to take them home to work overtime tonight.
It was at this moment that a group of palace maids walked into the lobby of the newspaper office, arranged on the left and right, and then a woman in palace attire, accompanied by several important figures in the newspaper office, walked very lightly with elegant steps. Enter the newspaper lobby. I saw her pair of wonderful eyes scanning the crowd in the newspaper office, and finally fixed her gaze on Shangguan Tingzhi, and her beautiful face revealed a charming smile.
When Si Zi came in, Shangguan Tingzhi, like everyone else, stopped what he was doing and then stood up to greet the arrival of Her Royal Highness. It was only when he raised his head to look at the princess who walked in with some curiosity. But he saw a pair of extremely familiar eyes, looking at him with a smile.
"Ming Mingda?" Shangguan Tingzhi stood there dumbly for a moment, with an incredible expression on his face. In any case, he never expected that he would meet the person he thought about day and night in such a sudden situation.
After seeing Shangguan Ting, Si Zi suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still mustered up the courage and walked briskly to the front of Shangguan Ting. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at each other quietly. After a while, Sizi opened his red lips and said, "Tingzhi, long time no see!"
When they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess coming in, the entire newspaper office focused their attention on Si Zi. Especially the young men, each one put his best foot forward, hoping to leave a good impression on the princess. But what everyone didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness the Princess walked directly in front of Shangguan Tingzhi and even took the initiative to speak. This made many people disappointed, and at the same time they were secretly jealous of Shangguan Tingzhi's good luck.
Hear the sound of Si Zi. Only then did Shangguan Tingzhi wake up from the shock, but the surprise on his face flashed away, replaced by a deep doubt, and his eyes looked up and down at Si Zi. But there was hesitation in his eyes. Although he was sure that the person in front of him was Mingda whom he thought about day and night, he never imagined that his Mingda was actually the most beloved princess of the Tang Dynasty. He doesn't even know what to call him?
"Youyou are the princess?" After a while, Shangguan Tingzhi took the initiative to break the awkwardness between the two. It's just that his voice was full of dryness. In his opinion, with his status, it was impossible for him to get together with the princess.
The reason why Sizi came to Datang Daily today was to find Shangguan Tingzhi, and the reason why she came with such fanfare and as a princess was also to let Shangguan Tingzhi know her identity. This is not Sizi She wanted to show off, but she didn't know how to explain her identity to Shangguan Tingzhi, so in the end she had to use this most direct way to let Shangguan Tingzhi know her identity.
"Yes!" Sizi saw the pain in Shangguan Tingzhi's eyes, and his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. But then she took a long breath and plucked up the courage to speak again, "Tingzhi, can we go out for a while? I have something important to tell you!"
"Yeah!" Shangguan Tingzhi nodded, then turned around the table and walked to Si Zi, but he kept more than two steps away from Si Zi, which was obviously different from when the two got along.
Regarding the changes in Shangguan Tingzhi, Si Zi also saw it in her eyes and her heart trembled. This was what she was most worried about before. Although the status of the princess seemed to be extremely noble, in her interactions with others, she would also It brought a kind of alienation to her, making people dare not approach her at all, even Shangguan Tingzhi was no exception.
After Si Zi and Shangguan Tingzhi left the newspaper office, the entire staff of Datang Daily was in a panic. They never expected that the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty would come to them in person and surround them with everyone. An ordinary colleague was taken away?Although the two of them didn't talk much, a fool could tell from the eyes of the two parties that the relationship between them would definitely not be that simple.
It is precisely because of the ambiguous relationship between Sizi and Shangguan Tingzhi that everyone in Datang Daily began to speculate about the relationship between the two, and it can be seen from Shangguan Tingzhi's only question. It is speculated that although he thought of Princess Jinyang beforehand, he did not know the true identity of the other party.
In addition, Shangguan Tingzhi¡¯s family background has also been revealed. Speaking of Shangguan Tingzhi¡¯s father, Shangguan Yiguan, Secretary Lang. Although he was a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, he was only a sixth-rank petty official after all, so Shangguan Tingzhi Compared with Princess Jinyang, her status is obviously very different.
With the above, smart people soon guessed the general outline of the matter. It was nothing more than a story about a poor boy and a princess traveling in casual clothes, who met by chance and then developed a love story. This kind of story often appears in legendary unofficial histories, but in reality, most people encounter it for the first time. It is precisely because of this that many people show unusual interest in it, and even almost The editor-in-chief of the newspaper repeatedly emphasized that no further discussion of this matter was allowed, but to no avail.
However, Sizi and Shangguan Tingzhi had no time to care about the reactions of those in the newspaper office. They did not leave the newspaper office, but came to a quiet garden in the front yard of the newspaper office. Then Sizi walked by a stream that ran through the garden. He sat down with his back to Shangguan Tingzhi, lowered his head and looked at the stream at his feet quietly.
Shangguan Tingzhi from the back looked at the graceful figure of Si Zi in front of him, and felt very conflicted in his heart. If it had been in the past, he would have been standing side by side with Si Zi, either pointing out the beautiful scenery in front of him, or talking about some interesting things he had heard. It made Si Zi giggle, but now due to the huge gap in status, Shangguan Tingzhi suddenly felt that there was a huge gap between him and Si Zi, which made him dare not get close to Si Zi. step.
The reason why Sizi remained silent was actually because she was waiting for Shangguan Tingzhi to stand side by side with her like before, and then smile and chat about some happy topics, but she also knew that she was really a little greedy, Shangguan Although Tingzhi is in love with him, he is also a scholar who observes etiquette. It is impossible for him to treat the world's etiquette as child's play like his sixth brother.
Thinking of her sixth brother Li Min, Sizi thought of her seriously ill father, which made her feel a pain in her heart. Then she turned around and stared at Shangguan Tingzhi: "Tingzhi, first of all, I want to tell you I apologize for not telling you my identity during the long time we have known each other."
"Ming" When Shangguan Tingzhi saw Si Zi apologizing to him, he immediately wanted to stop him. However, just when he was about to call out the word 'Ming Da', he suddenly thought of Si Zi's identity and stopped immediately. He stood there hesitating for a long time, but finally said: "Your Highness, you don't have to"
"Call me Mingda, okay? My name is Mingda!" Before Shangguan Tingzhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sizi, while staring at him with expectant eyes.
Shangguan Tingzhi was shocked when he heard what Si Zi said. When he met Si Zi's eyes, he also had a clear understanding in his heart. The woman in front of him was the Ming Da whom he had longed for, even though she was from the Tang Dynasty. Princess, but what does it matter? As long as Mingda has himself in his heart, all this is enough for him!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Tingzhi also showed excitement on his face. He took two steps forward without hesitation and stood opposite Si Zi. The two of them smelled each other and were closer than ever before. Sizi was also startled by Shangguan Tingzhi's boldness, but she did not dodge, but lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to meet Shangguan Tingzhi's eyes.
It was this tacit attitude of Si Zi that made Shangguan Tingzhi even more courageous. He stretched out his palm, gently grabbed Si Zi's slender jade hand, and called softly: "Ming Da!"
Feeling the affection in Shangguan Tingzhi's tone, Sizi also felt extremely sweet in her heart. What made her even more happy was that when Shangguan Tingzhi called out her name, the barrier between the two due to their identities had disappeared. The feeling of being close to each other finally came back again.
In the morning light of early summer, a pair of young lovers stood on the bluestone next to the creek, holding hands and facing each other. Although no one spoke, at this moment, any words are superfluous and everything has been said. middle.
However, this sweet scene did not last long, because Sizi thought of her seriously ill father again, which made her frown, looked up at her sweetheart, and then mustered up the courage to say: "Tingzhi, today I came to you because I actually have something very important to tell you!"
