old friend

There is no wind and no clouds tonight, and the moonlight is exceptionally mellow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a small Nanmu waterfront pavilion on the shore of Xiexin Lake, Jiang Li looked lonely at the clear moonlight reflected in the boundless blue lake.

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open with a creak, and Jiang Li, who was sitting by the windowsill, felt his heart tighten, his eyes flashed, and then he hurriedly turned around to look.

But the graceful figure not far away was not the figure he had in mind.

"It's ...... you"

"Childe, it's me. I saw Yue Lan wearing a beige rose plain robe, Zhong Lingyu was beautiful, and she was quiet and leisurely, "Now that the situation in the palace is chaotic, it is inconvenient for Miss to come out to see you in disguise." ”

Because Xianyue has called Jiang Li a brother since he was a child, Yue Lan and other servants in the house have always respected him as a son.

Jiang Li nodded in understanding, and then cast his deep gaze back to the calm and waveless lake outside the window.

"Yuelan, how has she been doing all these years?"

"Well, it's not good. Yue Lan paused, then gently raised her hand and lifted the curtain into the inner room, "Childe, I may know what you want to ask after all, so please forgive me...... In Miss's heart, there is His Majesty after all!"

Jiang Li's lips pulled unnaturally, and then a good-looking laugh arc was aroused.

"But I've heard that your majesty hasn't been kind to her for nearly a year. ”

The night was deep, and the sound of the night patrol officials suddenly came from the window.

It turns out that this is the time of the hour.

Yue Lan's form naturally sat on Jiang Li's side, quietly staring at Jiang Li, who was a little depressed.

"Whether it is good or bad, how can we outsiders understand it? Everyone's inner thoughts can probably be fully known by themselves......

Jiang Li slowly raised her head, and saw that Yue Lan was beautiful and elegant, her face was as soft and quiet as usual, but when she looked closely, she found that her pair of plain hands, which were almost hidden in the long sleeves, were repeatedly twisting the brocade handkerchief in her palms.

After so many years, she is still so good at hiding her feelings, but she still can't help but betray her quietly with some small movements.

Reflecting the bright moonlight outside the window, Jiang Li's heart was inexplicably soft, and finally slowly broke his face and smiled, his eyes were slight.

"Yuelan, now it's like you're the only one, and it hasn't changed at all. ”

The pearl plate and jade fall, the old people are still the same, and the bright moon can be seen.

Looking at the person in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes were as good as ever, the softest part of Yue Lan's heart seemed to be awakened, and then even after the words, the lips, teeth and tongue were filled with unprecedented joy!

"Childe is in my heart, and everything is as before. ”

Yue Lan has a lot of afterthoughts, and those past events that have been dusty for a long time are also like a tide to Jiang Li.

In fact, he has always understood in his heart that the most sincere person who treated him in Nalan Mansion in the past, except for the innocent Xiaoyue at that time, was the woman in front of him who had been slim.

Xiaoyue is lucky, she grew up with her parents since she was a child, everything is successful, and everything can be reached.

And Yue Lan is the same as herself, she has experienced upheaval and separation since she was a child.

When they were young in the house, except for Xiaoyue, they had no other support.

When he first entered Nalan Mansion, although the old and young servants in the house treated him humbly and generously in front of Mrs. Nalan and Xiaoyue, when no one was around, they looked at him coldly, and in the end he was only a little beggar who was picked up by luck. Sometimes, even the meals on weekdays were cut off and replaced with the best food in the house.

During that time, only the little Yuelan treated him the most considerate and kind.

Not only does she patiently carry a small bench in a no-man's place to relieve her silent self, but she always secretly stuffs herself with the best food that her wife has given her for various reasons. Sometimes it's a plate of duck with Wenhu sauce, sometimes it's a box of almond soufflés, and sometimes it's a cup of hot sweet soup......

Although these things used to be the most common food on the table for him, they were especially valuable when they were sent under the fence after the disaster!

Thinking about it, Jiang Li's eyes were hazy, and he seemed to be a little distracted. Then he slowly raised his hand with a smile, and gently curled his slightly scattered sideburns for Yue Lan, who was sitting next to him by the window.

At this moment, his expression was so tender that he seemed to be staring deeply at Yue Lan with reddish cheeks in front of him through his veins, but he didn't seem to be at all.

Now Yue Lan's face is shy and beautiful, just like the water lilies blooming in the lake not far away.

"Yuelan, I'm sorry. ”

Reflecting the melting moonlight hanging in the water, Yue Lan finally muttered in a daze, "Why did Childe suddenly apologize? From beginning to end, you didn't owe me. ”

"I still remember when you were young, you were worried that I would be hungry, and you always used the excuse that you couldn't eat, and secretly left good things for me. At this point, Jiang Li's always deep eyes suddenly added a little warmth and softness like starlight, "Now I am self-reliant, and I have a rich fortune, but I can't invite you to eat a good meal, and I am very sorry in my heart......"

The past is like a cloud, but he has never forgotten it!

At this moment, Yue Lan only felt the most beautiful light between heaven and earth, as if she was completely condensed in front of her.

Even if she knew very well, she would not be able to accompany her in her life. But at this moment, she felt very satisfied to be able to look quietly at him by the lake.

"How young I was then, and I ate less. Then Yue Lan raised her eyes and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes revealed a rare brilliance and said, "And that's all my willingness, why do you owe it?"

"Yuelan, you are a good girl who is rare to see. If Xiao Yue keeps you in the palace, it means that she is too selfish. ”

Jiang Li's words are so vague and understandable.

"Childe's words are wrong," it is true that Yuelan's heart is full of turmoil at this moment, but she still looks at the shadow of the tree not far from the window as usual, "In my life, I must be by Miss's side!"

"I envy you for being by her side every day. ”

Yue Lan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and her heart was gloomy.

It was true that it was too late, but she still wanted to pour out the doubts in her heart.

"Since you haven't forgotten why Miss appeared so late again, Childe, I'm curious, where have you been all these years?"

Such words finally made Jiang Li wake up like a dream.

Then he narrowed his expression slightly, and also looked away from Yue Lan.

"In the past, Madame told you where I went?"

"I said that I asked you to find Mrs. Mu, but you probably got lost halfway, and there has been no news since then......" Yue Lan's eyes were far-reaching, and her face was lonely, as if she was deeply immersed in the memories of the past, "The young lady cried for more than half a month because of this, and she was even more angry with the old lady, and she didn't step into the house again for nearly half a year." ”

"After a farewell in the past, I can't live with her. ”

Yue Lan smiled bitterly.

And he didn't tell himself where he had been all these years, and where he had learned his superb medical skills now.

Since he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't explore it himself. So Yue Lan also moved away from looking at Jiang Li's deep gaze, lowered her head and continued to play with the already crumpled brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"I heard that some time ago, you met Miss Yunshi in Shoukang Palace?"

"Well, I saw her. Jiang Li nodded helplessly, and then said with a smile, "I have grown a lot taller, but my temper is the same as back then, but it hasn't changed at all!"

In the middle of the night in early summer, the wind suddenly picks up, and then the air is full of fresh and elegant lotus fragrance.

She then came to the Xiu Palace to find the young lady, and seemed to be angry to the extreme...... She thought that you had not cut off contact with the young lady over the years, but she was kept in the dark. ”

"Well, she has wanted to compare with Xiaoyue since she was a child, but I'm afraid she just treats me as a plaything that can be fought for. ”

Jiang Li smiled lightly, and his eyebrows were difficult to conceal.

It's just that his words are still light-hearted, and there is no sense of resentment contained in it, as if he has no regret for being persuaded to leave the house because of Yun Shi.

Yue Lan hung her head silently, and her heart was full of loneliness.

Maybe over the years, Jiang Li has not lived as miserable as he expected......

"It's late at night, I should go back too," Yue Lan slowly got up, and then calmly looked down at the man in front of her with picturesque eyebrows, "I wonder if Childe has anything else to say to Miss?"

Jiang Li Shi smiled, and the endless glory was reflected in the beautiful lake behind him. But it can be seen that his starry eyes are full of sincerity.

"Please tell me that I will stay here until her lover returns, and do my best to take care of her and her children. ”

Yue Lan's hand shook, and her face changed in vain.

"Are you going to leave after that?"

Jiang Li didn't answer for a while, but committed himself to picking up the embroidered handkerchief that fell to the ground for Yue Lan, only to see that the light green embroidered handkerchief was embroidered with two blooming ginger orchids.

Then his expression was slightly restrained, and he gently dusted off the embroidered handkerchief and handed it back to the woman in front of him, and said with a long eyebrow, "Yue Lan, I don't belong here." ”

The water is shining, and the moonlight is hazy.

Yue Lan held the wooden fence with a faint fragrance on her side with one hand, and pinched the silky embroidered handkerchief in her hand with the other, as if she understood something in an instant.
