In the autumn of the seventh year of Taiping.

Because the second princess who was successfully born by the queen mother has been full moon, His Majesty the Emperor is happy, and set up a palace banquet in the Ziyun Pavilion of Xihua Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor, when he was still in the East Palace, was known for his pure heart and few desires, and then the queen mother lingered on the sickbed and did not show up often, and His Majesty the Emperor became more and more cold, and he couldn't see and laugh all year round.

Now the queen mother sat firmly on the side of the emperor with a gentle smile on her face, and the hearts of the civil and military officials were relaxed, and they enjoyed the delicacies and wines on the case table with peace of mind.

There was a banquet and singing and dancing as usual, after three rounds of drinking, the quiet banquet gradually began to be noisy, no longer restrained, Xu Shensi, the third son of the Xu family who was the servant of the Ministry at the time, slightly drunk with a wine glass rubbed to his brother's side, and whispered: "Why is the eldest brother drinking alone in the corner?"

That being said, in fact, Xu Shenyan, who is in a high position, will not be arranged in any "corner", but this person's body is too indifferent, causing him to deviate from himself wherever he sits. Xu Shenyan didn't care much when he heard his younger brother teasing him like this, he only raised his hand and went down with another glass of sake, but he didn't feel intoxicated at all.

"At today's banquet, is there a girl who can get into the eyes of the eldest brother?" Xu Shensi saw that Xu Shenyan was absent-minded, and didn't want to pay attention to himself, so he simply let out a big move, got closer, and said with a low smile.

The man just lowered his eyes and didn't speak, the bookish Qingjun's face became more and more indifferent, and the whole person was about to disappear into the illusion, and his slender fingers rubbed the wall of Xiu Yanyu's cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mother has now released her words, no matter how high or low she is, whether she is worthy of the door of our Huaiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, as long as the eldest brother likes it and nods, the mother will definitely welcome her into the mansion with a smile," Xu Shensi said eagerly, "It's good for the eldest brother to take a look, don't let down the mother's hard work." ”

Speaking of Xu Shenyan's weak crown for many years, the eldest princess of Huaiyang did not urge in the past, because she felt that her son was outstanding, and her vision was really high, and she was not in a hurry, but after so many years, seeing that the third son Xu Shensi was about to weaken the crown, Xu Shenyan still did not move at all, and she has become more and more anxious in recent years, only feeling that Xu Shenyan was too deeply affected by the concept of ruthless love in Yunshan Mountain, and it is not good to say much, and now there is nothing to do, and even Xu Shensi has moved out.

Xu Shenyan and other characters don't know what their mother thinks, hearing Xu Shensi say this, his face has not changed much, he slowly filled his cup, and said indifferently: "Why, which girl do you fall into, go and ask your mother, don't get involved with me."

When Xu Shensi heard this, his face turned red, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced in a certain direction, and complained: "Big brother, you are changing the topic!"

At that time, Su Yao was getting up and preparing to make it convenient, his eyes inadvertently skimmed over the banquet, and he saw Xu Shensi who was sticking to Xu Shenyan's side with a red face, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, so many years have passed, Xu Shensi is still as red as the eldest princess of Huaiyang when she first met. I don't know what Xu Shenyan said to him.

Thinking of this, Su Yao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Seven years, not long or short, many things have changed dramatically, but many things have never changed. For example, Xu Shensi's shyness, such as Xu Shenyan's indifference.

As if feeling that substantial gaze, Xu Shenyan raised his eyes and looked at the high throne, where the most noble queen mother of the Dayan Dynasty was there, looking at him with a smile on his eyebrows.

In his memory, a stubborn and energetic face slowly overlapped with the face of the alluring city, and at the banquet full of wine, Xu Shenyan seemed to see a heroic little girl, with clear eyebrows and sunshine on her face all the time.

He still remembered the girl's most accustomed look, a little solicitation and a little firmness that could not be refused, raised his eyebrows, his beautiful eyes were full of fine starlight, his long and thick eyelashes swept across his cheeks, revealing a shadow in the sun, tilted his head and said, Xu Gongzi, when are you leaving, take me quietly, I want to see where the scenery of the mountains is more beautiful than Pingxi!

Xu Shenyan is a person who has studied under the Luoxing Pavilion of the Flowing Mountain, and he saw through Su Yao's life when he met for the first time, this girl will not survive until later, but at this moment she is still looking forward to a better future.

At that time, he didn't say anything, Su Yao was also used to his silence, and after saying a few more words, his attention shifted to Gu Fufeng, who was still unconscious. Xu Shenyan knew at that time that with the strict tutoring of the Su family in Pingxi, Su Yao's proposal to go to the mountain was just whimsical. But when he had to say goodbye to Pingxi Academy and return to Weiyun Mountain because of Gu Fufeng's letter, Xu Shenyan often thought of Su Yao's words. Sometimes in the face of the remnant sun and sunset on the rippling mountain, Xu Shenyan would suddenly have such an idea - if she saw the scene in front of her, what kind of admiration would she have.

At that time, he didn't understand why there was such a useless feeling of being lost. It wasn't until much later that he realized that it was the first and only ray of sunshine in his life, shining into his gloomy life without refusal, and from then on the infinite darkness suddenly cracked, and there was no going back.

If he had never seen the bright stars, he might have endured the darkness.

Xu Shenyan drank all the wine in his hand, put down the wine glass, stood up and walked out. The lively feast was still staggered, and no one noticed the departure of Lord Xu, who was in a high position. This man stands too high, but hides his figure, and it is easy to be ignored.

The night breeze blew across his cheeks, blowing the hair on his sideburns, and mercilessly folding the plain robe, Xu Shenyan closed his eyes and turned around and walked towards a water pavilion outside the Ziyun Pavilion.

For the first time, he realized that Su Yao was really gone, and it was in the water pavilion outside this Purple Cloud Pavilion. The girl who had sparkled in her eyes and could pretend to be the lake water of the whole autumn was so straight and upright that she hung the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites as she wanted, and leaned lazily on the vermilion fence to take a nap. If it was Su Yao, who was domineering and straightforward, he would never put on that indifferent state.

He watched from afar, watching the peerless prince walk over and tie Zhu Suo for her with his own hands, and she handled it calmly. At that moment, his heart sank into the bottomless abyss, and Xu Shenyan lowered his eyelashes. The girl who loves Feng Ce so much, and even wants to be martyred with Feng Ce, doesn't care about the prince's proximity...... Xu Shenyan finally had to admit a fact that he had been trying to avoid, a truth that he had already learned in the Prime Minister's Mansion - Su Yao was no longer there.

In the spring of Jinghe's seventeenth year, the weak girl who stood in the middle of the water pavilion with the same appearance and smile as Su Yao was another person.

Xu Shenyan finally understood his mind at that moment, it turned out that love, a useless and painful thing, was unexpectedly unaware of what to do, and went deep. It's no wonder that the mountains have always been ruthless and loveless, because they are too thorough and know that people can't stand this kind of thing. Then don't ask for it in the first place.

There was a hairpin hidden quietly in the softest corner of his arms, which was sent by Su Yao to Tuo Jinse, at that time Xu Shenyan didn't know that this was a key to lock all the secrets, and he didn't know that Su Yao had decided to bury everything deep in his heart, he just knew clearly that no matter what Su Yao's intentions were, such a move had nothing to do with love.

He was the person she trusted the most in Changning, but that was all.

Su Yao stopped and looked at the handsome boy who was silent on the railing.

Seven years have passed, many things have come to fruition, she was drowsy and awake, gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses the year before last, and added a sister this year, Su Ying and Ye Ji also have the crystallization of love, but Xu Shenyan is the only one, cold and lonely.

A few days ago, the eldest princess of Huaiyang entered the palace and also talked about it, and at the palace banquet, the officials were allowed to bring their children to participate, just because it was just a Xu Shenyan. But where did this person have the heart to think about this, Su Yao looked at it coldly from the side, and only felt that he was a little depressed with wine to drown his sorrows.

After knowing each other for a long time, he always looked indifferent and uneasy, Su Yao never thought that one day he would see such a look on this person's face.

"How did you get out?"

The man turned around and met her smiling eyes, and the loneliness on his face that he didn't have time to retract fell straight into her eyes.

Su Yao was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Are you sober?"

Xu Shenyan just shook his head.

Sober up? He had never been drunk, he was more sober than anyone else.

There has never been a trace of him in the life of the person in front of him, in the past, Su Yao was full of Feng Ce, and now Su Yao loves Ye Lin deeply. Xu Shenyan clearly knew that the bright girl in his heart had slept forever on that starlit night eight years ago, but when he saw Su Yao and Ye Lin looking at each other happily, he couldn't help but have a trace of reverie in his heart.

If she's still ...... What will it look like......

"Decided?" Su Yao suddenly asked such a sentence without a trace. A few days ago, Ye Lin suddenly received an excerpt from Xu Shenyan's resignation, although the facts are clear, reasonable, and well-founded, but the meaning of the words is to send love to the landscape is also obvious.

He's resigning, why?

Xu Shenyan was not surprised, although it was written to Ye Lin, but he knew that there was nothing between the husband and wife that could be called a secret, Ye Lin knew, which meant that Su Yao knew.

He has long been tired of Changning's boring life of drunken gold, and he is also tired of this self-deceptive self, maybe Changning has never been suitable for him, that is not his hometown, just like this beautiful face that is close at hand is not his old friend.

Therefore, he just nodded and said, "Minister...... Some missed the sunset over the mountains. 166 Reading Network
