It was getting late, and I woke up after a nap to find the big head sitting leisurely with Jinglan bragging about it.

I looked at this rare picture in a hundred years, couldn't believe my eyes, pulled Sijiu and asked, "Does the big head want me to quit him?" Why doesn't my son prepare food? ”

Sijiu pouted in the kitchen, with a chicken thief on his face: "The general's concubine is busy inside." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I looked wistfully at the tall figure who was busy in the cooking room. I never knew that the pampered son of the Yuwen family would hold a spatula between this stove. In my understanding, the sons and daughters of the Yuwen family are all holding spears in their hands and lying drunk on the battlefield. I can only say that this Yuwen Qiye subverted my correct three views.

But I have to say that he stayed in the kitchen in black clothes and robes, and he was very watched.

Qi Ye's bun was a little loose, and a few strands of forehead hair fell into the corners of his eyes, but he always lowered his eyes to pay attention to the board under his hand, and I watched him cook without saying a word.

There always seemed to be a hazy black figure in my mind, overlapping with the person in front of me, and when I wanted to get closer, unspeakable powerlessness and rejection surged in my heart.

"Kuro," I whispered his name, a little tentative and a little dazed.

He stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows at me, the dim candle flame on the stove dancing on his cheeks in the twilight.

Qi Ye didn't answer, and I hesitated: "I feel quite strange when I wake up today, Jiulang, I always feel like I've seen you before." ”

When I called him by name, my tone was confused and hesitant, and he was a little apprehensive: "Really? The tone was light.

"I ......"

It stands to reason that according to my memory and what Pei Shaotong told me, I had never met him before. I don't even remember the boy I met before, let alone remember him as a person who didn't cross paths with me.

"I don't know if it's because Zhizhi hasn't been here recently, and no one is urging me to drink medicine, I'm talking to you now, am I dreaming?"

Qi Ye chuckled: "Drinking too much medicine hurts your body, you are okay now, just take good care of it." The words turned, quite playful: "Xiao Hei? ”

"Huh?" I subconsciously responded, my eyes full of unconscious confusion.

"And then."

A bowl of steaming lotus seed soup was placed in my spread hand, and Qi Ye took two plates of vegetarian dishes and placed them on the log table by the courtyard, beckoning me to come over.

"That's all I can do."

Stir-fried kale, jade bird's nest dumplings, assorted vegetarian chicken...... Just looking at it is no worse than the big head, and I think it's a bit unnecessary to worry about yourself.

I raised my cheeks and exclaimed, "You can't hide it anymore, or haven't I woken up?" ”

Listening to my joke, Qi Ye stretched out a hand and rubbed my hair, and said, "On your birthday today, you have not been out of the Lingxi Palace with me, if you don't cook some food for you, won't you be wronged?" ”

I put one hand on my cheek: "That's right, but how does it come out of your mouth like a pet?" ”

Qi Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and put a lotus root box on my plate: "Xiao Hei doesn't have such treatment. ”

I said, "Xiao Hei is a wolf, how can he compare with me?" After that, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, so I quickly took a bite of the lotus root box and praised: "The craftsmanship is good." ”

Qi Ye chuckled, didn't say anything, and poured himself a glass of sake.

After dinner, the rewards of the emperor and the palace were sent to the Lingxi Palace one after another, I was not very interested, and looked at Yuwen Qiye with resentment: "None of these rewards I like." ”

He didn't speak, motioning for me to continue.

"Actually, I'm very happy that you're back with me. No man has ever cooked for me. I looked at the night sky and said, "I can't remember what my birthday was like before I was fourteen, and the years after that were mediocre. Eighteen years of confusion to get to where I am today, I feel like I'm missing out on too much. ”

"Some things, if you miss them, they pass. But some, will come back. Qi Ye stood beside me, "Xiao Hei, you still have me." ”

My heart warmed and I reached out and hugged him.

He put his chin against the top of my head and said, "Actually, I came back in a hurry this time and I thought of a gift for you." I know that you like novelties, but the ice surface of the Canghe River is too thin to put the ice lantern in the past two days, and when I come back in a few days, I will take you to the Canghe River to see the ice lantern. ”

I subconsciously took it: "A few days later, it happens to be the Shangyuan Festival......"

Canghe, Ice Lantern, Shangyuan Festival. A belated birthday gift.

Together, these words became the deepest scar in my heart.

Maybe all this is just a coincidence, looking at him, I nodded gently: "Okay, I'll wait for that day." ”

In the middle of the night, he and I sat in the courtyard playing against each other, and the moonlight was hazy.

On the chess game, my white son surrounded him, I looked at him proudly, but he calmly fell down.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind on the roof, and the corners of his clothes fell to the ground quickly, and a man in black knelt down on one knee beside Qi Ye.

"General, there is movement in Suzhou City." The man in black took off his scarf, revealing a weak appearance, and it was actually the immortal life of the forty-nine dynasties.

Qi Ye put down a son and said, "How?" ”

After the general left, the prince and his entourage traveled in the mountains and rivers in the city of Suzhou, which attracted a lot of public resentment. There was a disturbance among the people tonight, and the prince was blocked in the post house by the demonstrators, and Jin Wu obeyed the general's orders and did not intervene. ”

"What now?"

Changsheng continued: "Lord Xu of Suzhou Weaving personally came to take the prince back to his mansion and arranged a night banquet, saying that it was for the prince to be frightened. ”

Between the conversations, the situation in the chess game changed, and his sunspot took advantage of my unpreparedness, and he actually stood out from the encirclement and walked one step ahead of me.

I tried to reverse the situation and said, "Lord Xu of Suzhou Weaving Mansion is a protégé under Xiao Xiang's curtain. Isn't it equivalent to sending the prince to death if he goes this time? ”

Changsheng said: "Back to the princess, the general has already deployed everything, as long as there is movement at the night banquet, Jin Wu will take action." ”

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

The sunspot settled, and I played a chess game, disarming and surrendering: "I lost this game." ”

Yuwen Qiye calmly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Before going to sleep, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me quietly.

The night is quiet, and there is a deeper omission. It seemed like a long time, it seemed like it was just a moment, and a few sub-rules cries sounded outside the window. He finally got up, closed the light of the Night Pearl, and prepared to leave.

"Jiurou, the wind is blowing." In the dark, I turned my head to him and said.

He leaned over and covered me with the quilt and brushed his palm over my cheek: "Wait for me to come back." ”

"Let's go." I turned around, "You'll be back sooner......"

There was a sound of the door being closed in the silent dormitory, and with a "squeak-" sound, Qi Ye's figure was hidden in the empty night.

I didn't fall asleep after all, and got up and sat down all night.

As soon as dawn broke on the horizon, there was a knock at the door. Sijiu's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door:

"Princess, let's go."
