第494章 沈延川的凝视(一更)
叶初棠朝着这声音传来的方向奇怪看去,就见对面马车帘子已经挑起,一张清秀俊逸的脸容映入眼帘。

那是个看起来十六七岁左右的少年,白皙清瘦,像是许久未曾见过阳光一般,血色极淡,身形瘦削,透着股孱弱。

然而即便如此,也不掩那立体卓越的五官,尤其是那双茶褐色的眼眸,清透朦胧如琥珀。

这张脸……

叶初棠微微眯起眸子,有些不确定地开口:
“靖王殿下?”

那少年闻言,脸上的喜色消散几分,取而代之的是肉眼可见的不安与局促。

“阿叶姐姐是怪我之前没有同你说明真实身份?但那时我也有苦衷,阿叶姐姐不要生我的气,好吗?”

叶初棠:“……”

她生气了吗?
好像从头到尾,她也只是确定了一下对方的身份吧?
然而没等她想好如何回答,旁侧忽然传来清冷低沉的嗓音。

“阿、叶、姐、姐?”

沈延川视线在二人身上扫了扫,似笑非笑,

“原来靖王殿下与初棠早就相识?”

叶初棠回头——不是,他们两个之间的关系已经亲近到直呼名字了?
然而一对上沈延川的目光,叶初棠便莫名消散了几分气势。

她轻咳一声:“……算不上。”

萧成霖脸上闪过一抹失落,但转瞬即逝。

他朝着沈延川解释道:“世子不要误会,本王只是从前曾蒙阿叶姐姐出手相救,有过一面之缘。”

沈延川拉了下缰绳,薄唇微勾:
“靖王殿下多虑了。医者仁心,她救过的人数不胜数,如此也是正常,我自不会误会于她。”

言语之间,透着微妙的亲昵。

——她亲近相熟之人,他尽皆知晓,更不用说她刚才看到萧成霖的第一眼,并没有见到熟人的熟络,反而是在谨慎确定对方来历。

这已足够说明问题。

萧成霖眉心微动,似是松了口气般舒展笑容。

“那就好。”

他说着,又看向叶初棠。

“阿叶姐姐莫怪,我先前也不知道你来了京城,更不知你居然就是——”

叶初棠的名头早已在京城传遍,即便是常年待在府中的萧成霖也有所耳闻。

只是他的腿不良于行,就连中秋这样的节日都未曾进宫,对不上叶初棠的身份,似乎也很正常。

心念电转,叶初棠已掩下心中波澜,客气疏离地点头:
“我也不知殿下身份,如此也算扯平了。先前若有冒犯,还望靖王殿下见谅。”

萧成霖欲言又止,似是颇为受伤。

片刻,才道:
“阿叶姐姐一定要与我这般客气么?”

不知怎的,叶初棠忽然觉得周身凉飕飕的。

分明今日是个难得的晴天,却似乎比先前都更冷一些。

她没接话,只冲着身侧的小五招招手:“小五,来,见过靖王殿下。”

一颗圆乎乎的小脑袋探了出来,眼神澄澈懵懂。

看着萧成霖,她歪了歪头,好似在辨认对方是谁。

叶初棠提醒道:“咱们从前在徐城的时候,曾与靖王殿下见过,不过你不记得了也正常,毕竟当时你正在睡觉。”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
