When Yuwen Qi's night officials worshiped General Jinwu, the emperor wanted to give Lan Shao to repair the emperor's family and the general's good. Before he could point out, Yuwen Qi wrote a letter to express his feelings, indicating that he had no intention of marrying, and the emperor read his words chiseledly. Ransi and Yuwen Qiye's military achievements were great, and they had to be blessed by marriage, so they made a covenant between the monarch and the minister. is to marry Yuwen Qiye, and it must be a woman of the Gao family, and the emperor will let it go and no longer interfere.

"The emperor knows that I ask for you, but he also knows that you are quite difficult, so he has to allow me to do some earth-shattering things to be worthy of you, a bold and outrageous princess."

Tough? I leaned in front of the window and asked him with black lines on my face, "You sold yourself to the Gao family like this?" How can you predict what will happen if all you like is an ordinary woman? ”

Qi Ye lazily pillowed his arms, stared at me with dark eyes, and said, "Because it is you, I won this covenant, and God favors me very much." ”

Many times I secretly scolded the injustice of God, and always decided my life with the word "fate". It's nothing more than two hearts promising each other, but there is always a parting miss. To this day, when he talks about God's favor, I want to seriously correct my past for the first time, which may be due to the perfection of cultivation or the luck of being lucky. I don't have any other choice, I don't want to have any more, I just want to go on well.

Thousands of ice lanterns float in the Canghe River outside the boat, and the bright moon on the horizon is bright. He looked at me from inside the boat, and I looked back at him.

I remembered that I was awkward with him some time ago, and I suspected that he was entangled with Lan Shao, and even with Allure, and I was not happy enough, so I finally confessed to him completely: "What is the matter between you and Lan Shao?" I've heard some rumors and I don't want to speculate anymore, it's really uncomfortable. ”

"Maybe when I first returned to Chang'an, I got close to her and was misunderstood." Qi Ye wrote lightly.

At first, when I heard him voluntarily refuse to marry, I was already happy in my heart, but now I still say, "Who made you do something that makes people misunderstand?" If you had rejected me that day, even if I had been reluctant, I would not have forgiven you for embarrassment for me. ”

"I got close to her because I mistook her for an old friend. It seems that I am not right. He looked at me and thought for a moment, "I said that the last time I came back halfway, what happened to you and me being awkward, it turns out that the problem is here." The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you never worried about this?" Why did you drink her vinegar? ”

I didn't look over my head angrily, and said, "The handkerchief embroidered with brocade came too coincidentally, how did I know the Tao for a while?" ”

He changed his hand and half-propped himself up, and said, "You make me a little happy like this." ”

I thought for a long time, "Jiulang, I've lived so big, and I've been suffering from gains and losses. I have my pride, I can't share a man's heart with other women, let alone be an ordinary woman. I want to stand by your side and be your only companion in this life. ”

Qi Ye nodded, his eyes full of determination. He got up in silence, went to the window, and sat down beside me.

"Yue'er, look out the window."

Outside the window, the moon is in the sky, and the stars are thousands of miles.

I said, "That moon must be very lonely, even though there are countless stars, but it still wants to see everything in the daytime." ”

"At dawn, the heavens and the earth are dark, if there is no light of the moon, how can there be the joy of life?" He stretched out his hand and put his hand around my shoulder, and said, "Destiny has its own arrangement, before dawn is cold and frosty, and the long night will always be accompanied by the moon." ”

I was shocked by his words, the hints in his words could not be more obvious, and his calm and calm demeanor made me feel at ease in shock.

"Yue'er, I should have told you something earlier."

I was taken aback by his cautious words, and said, "What's the matter? ”

"Actually, I knew the whereabouts of the star slave for a long time, but I didn't tell you for some reason."

When I heard this, I pretended not to know and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I should have mentioned to you that the Star Slave is like a child I once saved. When I visited the country for a long time, I actually knew Chang Jieyu for a long time, she lost my brother to look for me, I took out the portrait and looked, it was a little similar to the child I saved......"

The latter words are not much different from what I heard on the day of the canonization of Allure, but on the day of the Thousand Lantern Festival, Qi Ye's injury was not caused by a bully, but when I was assassinated in the Acacia of Guiyuan Temple with him, I was injured by the assassin who later committed suicide in the prison.

"In this way, it seems that Chang Jieyu is deliberately hiding something." I pondered, "But if she gets close to the Xiao family, she will inevitably protect the killer raised by the Xiao family." ”

Qi Ye groaned: "It's much more than that. That allure is not simple. ”

I had a face that looked a little like me in my mind, and I remembered that she had never done anything hurtful except to be hated by others. I suddenly remembered a quote from my grandmother: Man-eating beasts do not bark, they always hide in one place, waiting for an opportunity to move, and if a person approaches, they will drop their claws and kill them with one move.

There was a chill on my back, and the omission of the fifth watch came from afar, and the night of Chang'an became more and more low.

I'm worried about Xingnu in my heart, although this step has basically confirmed the relationship between Allure and him, it is true that Allure has no ill intentions towards him, but this series of intricate battles are intertwined, and Xingnu will inevitably be injured.

"Don't worry, the current return of the crown prince has dampened the Xiao family's momentum. Their current energy is unanimously focused on the East Palace, and they will have no time to take care of anything else. Qi Ye saw my concern and comforted.

"The night will end, and the building will fall." I took a deep breath and said, "It's just that this country can only be handed over to the sage to sit on." ”

"Sage ......" Qi Ye put these two words on his lips and pondered, and asked, "If that day comes, what should you do?" ”

"The sun rises in the east, and Chang'an no longer needs the bright moon. At that time, I wanted to go to Xiliang with you, see the sunset over the long river in your mouth, and listen to you play Xiao for me under the starry sky. In the summer, we can go to Fengming Mountain and build a grass hut in the mountains, and I can learn to cook for you. I stayed there for three years, and although my life was uneventful, I was very happy. ”

"I've thought about this countless times. But Xiao Hei ......" Qi Ye looked into the distance and sighed: "If there is a day when the country is turbulent, Chongjiu should focus on the society of the country." ”

There are many things that are destined, such as the fact that I am a princess born in the family of the emperor, and he is the god of war who shoulders the stability of the society. I am destined to protect the dignity of the royal family, and he is destined to protect the whole country. In the face of such a destiny, sometimes even the simplest wish cannot be fulfilled, so I can only try to accept it.

I could only look into Qi Ye's eyes and say to him firmly: "I am waiting for the day when the world is peaceful." Two days later, the king of Yan returned to the city, and the emperor personally sent it at the gate of Beide City.

I walked with Yuwen Qi at night, and the emperor was practicing wine for King Yan, but the prince was late.

"Jingluan, why is it late?" The emperor said unhappily.

The prince sneered: "Last night, Gongyi County hosted a banquet in the palace, and the retainers returned with a hangover, delaying today's trip. Father and uncle don't blame. ”

The emperor frowned and was silent, and King Yan smiled on the side and said to the prince: "It's a pity that I didn't drink with you this time." The next time the widow enters Beijing, I hope I can still get drunk with you! ”

The prince's face was overjoyed, and when King Yan was relieved, he arched his hand and said, "My nephew thinks the same way." ”

Shen Zhan on the side was silent, his face was light, and he said to me, "Take a step to speak." His eyes were on Qi Ye.

Qi Ye glanced at me and said, "I'll wait for you over there." ”

Looking at Qi Ye's back walking away, I slowly spoke: "The prince has something to say, please speak." ”

Shen Zhan stared at me for a long time and asked, "Where did the portrait you gave to your father come from?" ”

I remembered that he also gave me a portrait on my birthday, and when he guessed about it, he said: "That painting was in Lingxi Palace a long time ago, probably because the beauty in the painting was in line with the emperor's uncle's taste, so he took it away." ”

Shen Zhan's cold eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't ask anything more, only said, "Aren't you interested in the person in the painting?" ”

I thought that the person who sent me the painting must have painted it, but according to my words, I had to reply: "I naturally recognize that person, and if he appears in the palace, he must be from the palace." ”

"What else do you know?" Shen Zhan asked, looking at me with complicated eyes.

"Does King Yan like Chang Jieyu?" I asked directly, remembering that at the night feast, King Yan looked straight at Allure with his eyes, and asked me for a portrait for no reason that night, Allure was similar to me...... I connected these and faintly saw the clues.

Who knew that Shen Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I see." ”

This is said as if his Lao Tzu's emotional events have nothing to do with him. I have never understood the father-son relationship between him and King Yan, if there is nothing, the two never ask each other, as if they are living a parallel life.

Seeing that the auspicious time for departure was approaching, the honor guard of Yan Kingdom unfurled the mighty flag, and the four Xuantie Yanwei royal horses walked to the side of the two of us, kneeling down and asking for Shen Zhan to return to the line.

"Take care, I look forward to coming to Chang'an again in the future." I gave a slight salute and said Shi Shiran.

Shen Zhan got up and straddled the horse, and a white shadow fell into the corner of my eye. He gave me an expressionless look on the horse, and without saying a word, he walked away with the four Yan Wei.
