In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the cold winter again, because of the happy event of the beginning of spring, this New Year was particularly lively, the originally seriously injured emperor Sun Xiao Yi finally recovered after several months of cultivation, and Gu Yanling also spent his fourteenth birthday in this cold winter.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole capital is like Jinling in the south, hanging all kinds of lanterns, or flowers and birds, or grass insects, or beauty stories, some are decorated with bright jade, some are decorated with colored jade, and when it comes to night, whether it is a merchant or a painting boat, all hang up the lit lanterns, the warm and bright lights pass through all kinds of lampshades, sprinkle a beautiful and charming light, quietly fall in the river, float up shallow water lines.

Because Gu Zihan went to Liaodong with Gu Jingming, Princess Ruyi and the county lord of Yiyang both went out of the pavilion, and Xie Yun politely refused, after all, only Xiao Yi, Gu Yanling, and Qiyang took a Gu Ziyu to watch the lanterns outside the mansion.

When the group sat on the painting boat and leisurely admired the lanterns connected by the two sides of the strait, Gu Ziyu wanted to go to the shore to buy lanterns, Xiao Yi and Gu Yanling originally let the boat stop back to the shore and go together, but they were stopped by Qiyang, and they took Brother Yu alone, protected by a group of plainclothes guards, and went ashore by Gu.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi and Gu Yanling were helpless, so they complied with their wishes and parked the boat in the middle of the river to wait.

There was silence in the boat, Gu Yanling sat quietly behind the window, looking at the shadow of the oar lamp outside the window, he couldn't help but feel rare comfort, the sound of the oars paddling on the water surface fell gently in his ears, the shadow of the lantern fell, and the shining light floated, just at this moment, a warm and familiar embrace made Gu Yanling's eyebrows more relaxed, the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook slightly, and he leaned his head up steadily.

"Tomorrow, you're going to be in time. ”

Hearing the gentle and slightly pleased voice in his ears, Gu Yanling smiled in his eyes, looking at a little girl with a general horn on the shore, holding a lotus lantern in her hand, and swaying with the children around her, she couldn't help but think of the child who had died in her womb, and a trace of sadness crossed her heart, the girl snuggled up to the hand of the person behind her, leaning more lazily, and said in a plain but quiet voice: "The child with the lantern on the shore is very cute——"

Hearing the topic of the girl in his arms abruptly diverging, Xiao Yi looked at the shore, and also saw the smiling children, couldn't help lowering his head, and when he saw the inexplicable sadness in the girl's eyes, he couldn't help but deliberately laugh: "What do you mean, do you want a child of ours?"

Hearing Xiao Yi's deliberate answer, Gu Yanling couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked up at the person holding him with some disgust. Who knew that the man couldn't see it, and he was quite serious, and coughed with a saliva face: "I think it's okay to consider it." ”

Gu Yanling couldn't help but feel sluggish, and smiled and used her hand to twist the skinless and faceless person behind her, but Xiao Yi doted on her, put his hand in front of her, and let her twist it.

"Do you like boys, or girls—"

The girl in her arms suddenly quieted down, and when she heard this, Xiao Yi's eyes moved slightly, as if she was describing the scene of family happiness, and then said without thinking: "As long as you are born like you, I like it." ”

Gu Yanling couldn't help laughing when she heard this, what is the answer?

The surroundings gradually quieted down, Gu Yanling couldn't help but feel a little cold, just about to stretch out her hand, the person behind her pulled the snow fox blanket on the side to her body, Gu Yanling reached out and held Xiao Yi's hand, leaned her head up, and said in a low and hazy voice: "I want a girl." ”

Since ancient times, women have to live for others all their lives.

She was tired of such a malicious saintly gift.

She doesn't believe in this, and she won't let her children believe it, she wants to give birth to her daughter and teach her the best of everything. Let everyone in this world know that even if it is a daughter's family, she can live her own life. And not as an appendage to fathers, husbands, and descendants.

Just like in her life.

Gu Yanling is Gu Yanling, not living as the eldest concubine of the royal family, let alone as the daughter of the Gu family or the Xie family.

What she wants is a hundred years from now, and what others remember is her Gu Yanling's name.

And not the cold Gu on the epitaph.

"Good. ”

The sudden voice behind him recalled Gu Yanling's thoughts, and the next moment, Xiao Yi whispered in her ear: "Then we want a daughter, you teach her calligraphy and chess, and I teach her music and rhythm riding and archery, and in the future, she will find the most satisfactory Langjun in the world for her, and become the second happiest person in Daxing." ”

Gu Yanling heard this, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and then he was slightly stunned, straightened up and turned his head and said, "The happiest person is-"

Before she finished speaking, the girl suddenly fell silent, looking at the colorful colors flying like fireflies behind Xiao Yi, and gradually felt warm and sweet.

And at this moment, Xiao Yi's gentle voice also sounded softly in his ears: "The happiest person is naturally you." ”

Gu Yanling walked over slowly, and saw a delicately made golden hollow jade marquee on the case, and the marquee was painted on the marquee with her and Xiao Yi, every scene, every scene, every scene, they experienced together this year, accompanied by colorful light falling on the wall, moving slowly, warm and sweet.

"I drew it myself. ”

Xiao Yi gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, and then said slowly: "Every year in the future, I will draw the one-year-old time into a lamp, until I can no longer hold a pen and bend down, I will ask people to take them all out and put them beside us, so that our good children and grandchildren can see the years that belong to us together." ”

When Gu Yanling heard what the person behind her said, her eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, and that scene had already floated in her mind, plain and quiet.

At this moment, Gu Yanling realized that Xiao Yi, who seemed to be cold and silent, said nothing less in front of her, and it turned out that he was also very good at love words.

And every love word that came out of his mouth was warm and heartwarming.

……

Xu Chengjun walked alone on this lively Suzaku Street, looking at the colorful lanterns, feeling crowded in the crowd, but feeling lonely and cold.

She didn't know why she had to live alone in this world, but she also knew that she had to survive and retain the last bloodline of the Xu family.

Suddenly, a plain silk lantern of Chang'e running to the moon fell in front of her eyes, making her stand there fixedly, although it was ordinary, but it aroused a slight tear in her eyes.

When she was eight years old, her grandfather made a lantern for her, and it was also this Chang'e to the moon, at that time she only felt that Chang'e was noble and beautiful, and she was able to live in the gorgeous Guanghan Palace, but now she knows that the loneliness of such a betrayal of her relatives can be compensated for by luxury.

What is the difference between her and Chang'e now?

Xu Chengjun clenched his hands tightly, trying to suppress the tears that he wanted to burst out, and involuntarily stepped forward, reaching out to touch the lantern under the hazy and warm lamp.

Suddenly—

A slender and good-looking hand touched his eyes, took away the lantern of Chang'e running to the moon, Xu Chengjun's body stiffened slightly, and when he saw the vacant lampstand in front of him, he couldn't help but turn his head, but he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.

"Girl, the riddle of this lamp has been solved by this son, you can choose another one. ”

There was a consoling voice from the vendor in her ears, but Xu Chengjun didn't hear it, and when she saw the person in Zhilan Yushu in front of her, she only felt as if she was in a different world.

It's a pity that when we meet again, things are already wrong.

"Miss Xu. ”

Hearing the gentle voice of the person opposite, Xu Chengjun's heart throbbed slightly, and gradually returned to calm.

It turned out that he remembered her.

"Yun Gongzi. ”

During the girl's salute, Xie Yun saw the thin bones under the gorgeous cloak, and then thought about the tears in the girl's eyes when she looked up at him, and couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at the lantern in her hand, and then said slowly: "I just like the riddles on this lamp, Miss Xu likes this lamp, this lamp is more suitable for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, the girl's figure shook slightly, and when she raised her head again, the young man in front of her like jade and the spring breeze, just like the first time she saw it, just the hand holding the lantern was slightly handed between the two, Xu Chengjun hesitated for a long time, and the right hand under the sleeve moved, and finally stretched out his hand after struggling, took the lamp handle, and took the lantern over.

"Chengjun Xie Yungongzi. (Embarrassed...) This thank you is a thank you, not Xie Yun's thank you... ）

Xie Yun bowed his head politely, and then said loudly: "Miss Xu is enjoying the lanterns alone, you need to be careful, Xie Yun said goodbye." ”

Xu Chengjun pressed the words in his heart, nodded as usual, and looked at the back of the young man who turned away, and at this moment, the fireworks of the Lantern Festival suddenly exploded, rising one after another, and countless gorgeous and brilliant flowers exploded, igniting the night sky of Jingling on this day.

Those flashes of fireworks fell on the back of the jade-like road, making Xu Chengjun stand quietly in place, forgetting to leave.

"On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. ”

The girl's back looked lonely and lonely in the crowd, the corners of her lips opened slightly, and she murmured these two lines of poetry, but the tears slipped silently down her cheeks, and she could no longer suppress them.

(Note: The source of this poem is "Sheng Chazi, last year's New Year's Eve", everyone knows the first two sentences, "Last year's New Year's Eve, the flower market was as light as day.) The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. "It felt very appropriate. ）

But at this time, Qiyang was chasing around with the lively Brother Yu'er, for fear that if something accidentally happened, it would be difficult to apologize in front of Gu Yanling.

Seeing that there was a dragon dance and lion in front of him, Brother Yu was about to drill in, Qiyang was about to pull it immediately, who knew that in the crowd of people, Qiyang was squeezed to the side, and he was about to fall, Qiyang was so shocked that he exhaled, pity himself In order to give her brother a good opportunity to be alone, she ran behind Brother Yu and broke her leg, and she was about to be injured.

Gu Ziyu couldn't help but turn her head when she heard the voice, seeing that Qiyang was about to fall, and hurriedly went to rescue her with the guards who protected her, who knew that at this moment, a cold and cold figure suddenly appeared, and a pair of powerful arms helped the girl up, Qiyang was shocked into a cold sweat, only thought it was a guard, and was gasping for fear in fear, when she raised her head and was about to pretend to be angry and angry Brother Yu'er, she couldn't help but be stunned there.

I saw that countless fireworks suddenly exploded in the night sky, almost lighting up the entire night sky, and under this brilliant brilliance, the man's cold and resolute face became warm and familiar under the imprint of the fireworks.

"Han-Han Zhen. ”

Hearing the girl who had always been clever and stammering his name at this moment, Han Zhen's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of amusement, and then he was a little helpless.

Every time they meet by chance, she seems to be so reckless.
