On this day, the warm sun in the spring poured down with a warm light, which seemed to urge the flowers of the imperial garden to open, butterflies and bees around, the starry light was dazzling and bright, and the palace people who came and went had already changed out of thick winter clothes and put on thin shirts.

At this moment, the Yuqing Palace is exceptionally quiet in the afternoon, the birds in the woods in front of the corridor are crying softly, tactfully like a song, on the long corridor leading to the study, there are several people walking one after the other, and when they get close, they see that it is the emperor Sun Xiao Yi and the commander of the Jinyi Guard Han Zhen.

In front of the study, someone immediately stepped forward to open the curtain, and when Xiao Yi and Han Zhen walked in successively, the soft curtain fell, isolating everyone outside.

"Lord Han, please take a seat. ”

Seeing Xiao Yi giving him a seat, Han Zhen politely thanked him, and then sat down with Xiao Yi.

After the palace ladies served hot tea, the two talked a few words about the affairs of the court, and then saw Tan Mo walking in cautiously, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, the eldest concubine has something important to ask Your Highness to discuss." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked at Han Zhen under the seat after thinking slightly, Han Zhen's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still got up so calmly and said: "Since the eldest grandson concubine has something important to ask His Royal Highness to discuss, then Weichen will not bother and retire first." ”

"Probably not. ”

Han Zhenfang got up, and heard Xiao Yi's voice, and when he looked up, Xiao Yi had already stood up and walked down to support his arm and said, "Please wait here for a while, and I will come back to discuss with you again." ”

Seeing this, Han Zhen no longer refused, Xiao Yi then gave a few words to Tan Mo and walked out alone.

When Tan Mo ordered someone to change the hot tea again, he quietly retreated, realizing that only he was left in the house, Han Zhen was slightly surprised, and the next moment, he heard the soft curtain open again, and when he turned his head, it was not someone else, it was the young sister of the emperor's eldest grandson Xiao Yi, the county lord of Qiyang.

When he saw the jade-like smile, Han Zhen understood that it was not the emperor Sun Xiao Yi who invited him to the mansion today, but the girl in front of him.

"Weichen asked the county lord of Qiyang to say goodbye. ”

Seeing that the person in front of him bowed respectfully as before, Qiyang's pear vortex deepened, leaving the maid outside the soft curtain and walking in alone.

"Please. ”

The girl paused abruptly as she passed by, Han Zhen's figure stopped slightly, and then she stood up respectfully.

At this moment, he realized that the girl's eyes as smart as a flying swallow were looking at him without shying away, smiling slightly.

"To this day, you and I are still like this. ”

Hearing the girl's jokes, Han Zhen didn't know how to go back for a while, he was silent for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to the past, and between his eyes, the heart that had not been shaken for a long time was throbbing because of the person in front of him.

"Are you getting better?"

Hearing the topic of the girl's sharp turn, Han Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyes and replied: "Please rest assured that Weichen's injury is no longer serious." ”

Seeing this, Qiyang nodded, then turned his head lightly, and saw the big palace maid who was serving on the side walking in with a small box, bowing respectfully and silently to the two, and then put the small box on the table next to him, and quietly withdrew.

"Lord Han, please take a seat. ”

The girl stretched out her hand seriously, although Han Zhen didn't know what the girl was doing this time, she still involuntarily sat down obediently, and the next moment, under the faint fragrance, the girl sat down beside her with her dress twisted, without any girl's deliberate shyness.

"Roll up the cuffs. ”

The girl's words were delicate and soft, but they were a little undoubted, Han Zhen looked at the girl's smiling eyes, and he already knew a little bit in his heart, his right hand paused, after all, he didn't say much, he still rolled up the cuffs of his left hand in a good way, and the wound of the Lantern Festival appeared in front of him.

Qiyang saw the new meat that Yin Hong had grown, and his heart still couldn't help but hurt, and the hand that opened the box became a little softer.

The surroundings gradually fell silent, and the slight touch made Han Zhen instinctively want to withdraw his hand, but when he saw the girl in front of him gently holding his hand, gently medicating him, and looking serious and quiet between his eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

Although the wound is deep, but because of the best medicine, there is no pain for a long time, Rao is so, the girl in front of her still lowered her head, afraid that he would be unbearable, she couldn't help but blow gently, the gentle wind blew through the wound, cool and cool, to the tip of the heart, but hot.

At this moment, Qiyang was immersed in his hands, not noticing the pair of immersed and gentle eyes on the other side, until he finished applying the medicine, he carefully wrapped the gauze, carefully avoided the wound, and rolled down the cuffs.

"Thank you, Lord Shire—"

Seeing the person in front of him stand up and salute himself, the girl's eyes flashed a little gloomy, and the next moment, I saw her stand up again, take two steps forward, and the distance between the two was instantly shortened a lot, as if even breathing could be heard clearly.

"You can call me Qiyang. ”

In just one sentence, a few words, the girl's feelings were integrated into it, Han Zhen's body was slightly paused, and when he looked up, he saw the girl's serious eyes, those two words had obviously reached the throat, but when they rushed out of their lips and teeth, they were swallowed silently.

The endless silence dissipated the smile in the girl's eyes, and after a while, the county lord of Qiyang finally spoke up: "Could it be that you really don't like me." ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen's heart suddenly froze, and he was about to say something when he looked up, but he saw that the girl in front of him was not happy but also not sad: "It seems that this marriage is my wrong request." ”

Seeing the shock in the man's eyes, Qiyang laughed at himself, and then said loudly: "That's right, this marriage was asked by me from the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother——"

Speaking of this, there was a faint darkness in the girl's eyes, but the curvature of the corners of her lips did not decrease.

"I didn't expect that I asked for a marriage, but I couldn't ask for a heart. ”

The moment the words came out of her mouth, the girl slowly turned around and said, "It's me who is amorous." ”

"It's not—"

The man's slightly hurried voice suddenly sounded behind him, Qiyang's figure paused slightly, stopped his outward steps, and when he turned around, his eyes, which were already full of tears, actually carried a bit of expectation and indescribable light.

Looking at these eyes, Han Zhen felt cramped and uneasy for the first time, so much so that after thinking about it for a long time, what fell out of his mouth was a rather helpless sentence.

"I, I don't know how to say-"

Han Zhen's words caused the girl to laugh, and the next moment, he saw the girl in front of him suddenly step forward, close enough to see the girl's butterfly-like eyelashes, those beautiful eyes.

"Then—let me speak for you. ”

The girl's words were gentle and delicate, and those eyes were even more playful, and while he was waiting for her words, he saw the girl's beautiful eyes approaching, and the next moment, a cool and soft lip flap was like Feihong passing by, gently tapping the corner of his lips, so that he forgot for a moment that he was even stunned.

Looking at the rare stunned person in front of him, Qiyang smiled with his eyebrows, slowly put down his tiptoes, and then raised his hand, and saw a beautiful colored feather stuck between his fingers, just like the first time.

"I said that day, you owe me a favor, and now, you and my life will be repaid. ”

The girl's words were gentle and slow, and the picturesque eyebrows and eyes were gentle and playful, many years later, Han Zhen could still remember this day, this scene.

That's where everything started for them.

In the beginning of March, the imperial court ushered in the good news of Xuanfu, and under the great joy of Longyan, the army of Daxing returned to the court, diluting the bleak ending of Xiao Yan, the king of Luo.

On the day of returning to the dynasty, the emperor brought the emperor's eldest grandson, and officials above the third grade to greet in front of the Taiji Gate, and then, the right general Gu Jingming was crowned the general of the pillar country, and Gu Zihan was named the Marquis of Changsheng.

And because of this uproar, another promotion order seems to have been ignored.

Zheng Wen, the accompanying deputy general, made many miraculous achievements, was promoted to the general army of Jizhou, and was named a brave uncle.

……

On this day, the spring was bright, and in the midst of laughter, Gu Yanling was sitting next to the shaking bed, gently shaking the rattle of "Jingle Dong-" in his hand, looking at the bubbles in the shaking bed, a pair of half-confused and half-open eyes, and the smile between his eyebrows became more and more gentle.

"Your Highness—"

Hearing the sound, Gu Yanling turned his head sideways, and saw Xiao Yi walking in, so he lowered his head with a smile and looked at the person in the shaker: "I'm back." ”

"Look who's coming. ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's words deliberately selling Guanzi, Gu Yanling looked over, and with Xiao Yi's gaze, he saw a handsome man with a majestic and tall figure walking in, with dark skin but it was difficult to hide the pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"Big brother!"

Gu Yanling almost couldn't hide his gaffe and stood up, looking at the familiar and more stable face in front of him, looking at the youthful eyes that had long since faded after a long period of practice, and the cyan stubble on his lips that was still difficult to hide.

Suddenly, it seemed that half a life had been separated.

"Ah Jiu—"

No matter how resolute the man was, his eyes were still red, listening to that low voice, Gu Yanling only felt as if his feet were filled with lead, and his right hand couldn't help covering his mouth, but tears fell uncontrollably.

The next moment, the man in front of him stepped forward almost instinctively, naturally and gently took her into his arms, the familiar wood fragrance, now it is also carrying the wind and frost of the desert, the vicissitudes of life, but it is reassuring, just like a distant song in the desert.

"I'm back. ”

The man's words were resolute and choked, making the person in his arms nod excitedly, but his hands held him tighter.

When Yan Bi and Jiang Zhu on the side saw it, they couldn't help but redden, and lowered their heads to wipe away their tears with a silk handkerchief, but Xiao Yi was the only one who stood with his hands down, his eyes were full of joy and emotion.

"Ling'er, the eldest brother hasn't seen Arnold yet. ”

Xiao Yi's timely words made Gu Yanling's heart move, and he hurriedly left Gu Zihan's arms, wiped his tears, and smiled at the shaking bed: "Tomorrow happens to be Arnold's 100-day banquet, and my brother can come in time." ”

Gu Zihan also put away his tears when he heard this, and immediately laughed out loud: "It's for my nephew's 100-day banquet, my fourth uncle and I are rushing back non-stop, and I can't wait to plug in my wings." ”

Gu Yanling smiled when she heard this, and took Gu Zihan forward and said to the little man in the shaker: "Arnold, look, my uncle is back." ”

The villain didn't know whether he understood or not, but he just looked at Gu Zihan with a pair of slippery eyes, which moved Gu Zihan's heart, and his excitement became more and more irrepressible.

"As the third aunt said, Arnold has inherited all your advantages. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yanling looked at Xiao Yi sideways and smiled, and then said loudly: "Brother, you should hurry up, when you come back this time, you will marry the girl of the Li family in Longxi, according to the grandmother's wishes, at the latest next year, in the spring, you should ask them to hug their great-grandchildren." ”

Hearing this, Rao is battle-hardened Zheng Zheng man's face also stiffened, and he avoided his eyes a little embarrassed, causing Gu Yanling to smile playfully at Xiao Yi, but in exchange for Xiao Yi's helpless and doting eyes.

Looking at the brother in front of him, Xiao Yi, and Arnold beside him, Gu Yanling felt that he was undoubtedly happy at this moment.

I only hope that this happiness can continue forever.

Hopefully, her worries are unfounded.

Even if this worry has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Gu family, the Xie family, and even Xiao Yi.

The Zhang Mansion was defeated, the Xu Mansion was defeated, until the Yan Mansion was defeated, and now that Arnold was born, almost all the glory was added to the Gu family, and Xie Yun's current light above the court also gradually brought the Xie family to this trip to the capital.

This is a family, a country, and an eternal truth.

Today's Gu family and Xie family are too dazzling, and those who can balance them don't seem to exist anymore.

And it is precisely because of this situation that it is even more frightening.

And the origin of this fear comes from only one person.

Emperor Jianheng.
