    Blind?!

    Yao Ji subconsciously looked into Pei Yan’s eyes. The noble prince was sitting there, wearing a brocade robe with azure auspicious cloud patterns. He had a small white jade crown on his head. His hair was as raven-like as feathers, and his temples were as sharp as a knife. Under his sword-shaped brows, a pair of black pupils were as bright as a god. He was looking directly at Yao Ji like a dot of paint. How could you tell that these were actually a pair of eyes that were unable to see.

    Yao Ji couldn’t help but stay there, forgetting that her behavior of staring at Pei Yan was rude and offensive.

    Pei Yan didn’t feel dissatisfied, but smiled lightly: “Nian Yao? Let’s do it.”

    The subsequent chess game was naturally played by Yao Ji in a disorganized manner. Pei Yan saw that she was preoccupied, although it was a little strange – even if he was surprised that he was blind, most people would not care after being shocked. Why did this little maid seem so worried?When the round was over, Yao Ji was ordered to go down.

    Yao Ji naturally knew that her actions were inappropriate, but she was so confused at the moment that she felt like she was being pardoned.

    Looking at Pei Yan acting normally, who would have thought that he was blind.Yao Ji secretly inquired about the house and found out that Pei Yan had been seriously ill when he was young and had a high fever for more than ten days. Although he was safe after recovering from the illness, his eyes were burned out.

    he is not inherently deficient, which is why blindness makes it all the more difficult.If a person has never seen the colorful world since he was born, he may still be able to endure it despite his regrets, but that is not the case with Pei Yan.

    He was already eight years old when he became blind. Eight-year-old children are the most lively and active years.he As the heir to the Tiandu Mansion, he has had high hopes since he was born. Everything was going well originally, and he just had to follow the steps, and he could have a perfect life as a proud man of heaven should.It’s a pity that he encountered such a misfortune.

    Yao Ji only had to think about it to imagine how painful Pei Yan would be at that time.No one would be surprised if he became decadent, unable to recover, or developed a violent temper.But he is not. He behaves like ordinary people, even a little more tolerant than ordinary people.Thinking of the praise he has received now, for his superb martial arts, top chess skills, and sophisticated decision-making… how much hard work has gone into it.

    Yao Ji couldn’t sleep well all night, not because she couldn’t accept that Pei Yan was blind, but because she felt unbearable when she thought of the hardships Pei Yan had suffered for this.

    Although Yao Ji tried her best to suppress it and didn’t want to show it in front of Pei Yan, Pei Yan was as careful as a hair and still noticed it.He felt strange at first, why did this maid seem so sad?He didn’t think that Yao Ji acted like this because she wanted to be her concubine, because it was a kind of sadness and pity that she was suppressing, but couldn’t be separated from her.

    Pei Yan was confused for a while and curious for a while, so when Yao Ji was serving tea to him, he asked: “Do you pity me because I am blind?”

    Yao Ji was startled. She didn’t want to lie about this matter, so she lowered her head and replied softly: “No, although the young master is blind, he is actually much more outstanding than the able-bodied people. There is nothing to be pitied for. I just… think of the suffering that the young master has suffered for this, and I can’t bear to feel sad.”

    This answer greatly exceeded Pei Yan’s expectations. He didn’t know what to say for a while.In this case, someone did say it during the time when he was just blind.But as he became better and better, not only able to act as usual, but even better than able-bodied people, gradually, even the people closest to him forgot how difficult it was for him to do this.

    “You,” he opened his mouth, and finally could only say dryly, “you have a heart.”

    From then on, Pei Yan couldn’t help but pay attention to this caring little maid, consciously or unconsciously.Only then did he realize that Yao Ji was not living a good life in the mansion.

    She is not a child of the Pei family, and she entered the house because the Song family wanted to give her to them as a concubine.Although Pei Yan himself has always been nonchalant about this kind of thing, there are a lot of rumors about her in the house.She had no relatives or friends. Although some mothers-in-law saw her working in Pei Yan’s courtyard and wanted to make her their goddaughter, she probably did not agree because of her pride.Only Egret is willing to say a few words to her on weekdays because of some incense.

    Even though he was isolated and neglected everywhere, Pei Yan’s tone of voice when she spoke was always light and cheerful.When playing chess with Pei Yan, he would talk about the beautiful scenery of winter and spring, or talk about trivial and interesting things in the house. Even a cat in the kitchen stole a fish. Such trivial things were full of fun when she mentioned them.

    Pei Yan thought that if he could describe the little maid’s voice, it would be most appropriate to describe it as the happy yellow orioles on the branches.He couldn’t help but start to wonder what Yao Ji looked like. Pei Yan had heard people say more than once that she was born extremely beautiful.

    How beautiful is it?In fact, Pei Yan was not curious about her beauty, he just wanted to take a look at her appearance.

    Such thoughts shocked Pei Yan. He knew that his eyes could not be restored, so from the moment he lost his light, he kept telling himself not to desire the action of “seeing”.Only by not thinking about it can he calm down and accept the fact that he can no longer see anything.

    Now, this was the first time in more than ten years that he had the idea of ​​”seeing” something.

    Pei Yan didn’t know what his change in mood meant, but if he wanted to send the little maid away, he hesitated again and again, but didn’t want to speak.

    He is a person who is very good at hiding his emotions. This thought can be described as thrilling, but the expression on his face is still calm and calm.So Yao Ji didn’t notice it at all and continued to serve tea while Pei Yan was talking.After all, Yao Ji was not a real slave. She was not afraid of Pei Yan, but she had a lot of intimacy with him day and night, and she was not restrained in her words.

    On this day, the two of them were still playing chess in the pavilion. Pei Yan was really good at this game. Yao Ji competed with He and lost nine out of ten times. He couldn’t help but throw the chess piece away: “It’s not coming, it’s not coming. It’s been so many days. Master, you should know that the difference between the slave and the master is not even the slightest, so why bother teaching the slave to lose again and lose face.”

    Pei Yan smiled and said: “You lost more than ten sons to me before, but now you only lose six. Although you still lose, your skills have improved. Isn’t this a good thing?”

    Yao Ji put on a bitter face: “Young master is a real chess lover, so he is different from ordinary people like us. We are happy as long as we win, but we don’t care about it.”

    Pei Yan couldn’t help but feel happy when she unconsciously used the word “I” in her words, and said with a smile: “You don’t love chess, but why do you love Tao?”

    Yao Ji thought for a moment and realized that she had loved the art of painting when she was in the Heavenly Palace, so she said, “I like painting.”

    As soon as the words came out, Fang was stunned.Pei Yan was an all-rounder with both literary and military skills. Among so many skills, Danqing was the only one that he had never delved into for no apparent reason. How could a blind person paint?

    Yao Ji knew she had made a mistake and stood up quickly: “This slave is talking nonsense, please punish me.”

    “What’s wrong with you?” Pei Yan was careful when hearing her voice, and sighed inwardly, “I heard that the pear blossoms are blooming in the garden, so how about you paint a painting based on this flower.” After saying that, he ordered someone to prepare painting tools, and after thinking about it, he said, “I still remember the pear blossoms I saw when I was a child. I used Sangreen and Garcinia to color them, so I think it’s appropriate.”

    When Yao Ji heard this, her heart tightened. The pear blossoms she had seen more than ten years ago were already blurred in Pei Yan’s memory. She really wanted Pei Yan to see her painting and see with her own eyes the white pears on the branches, as numerous and moving as snow.

    Pei Yan heard her take a deep breath inaudibly, picked up the wolf hair, and said softly: “Master, if the painting is finished, please appreciate it.”

    “Okay.” Pei Yan smiled slightly.
