Chapter 111: Reunion
"Who are you?"
"The subordinate is Lin Hu, the seventh group of guards of the Yulin Army."
"What's your relationship with her?" Shenyue Haoqing frowned and asked.
Li Anyue secretly tugged at his sleeve, "Lord Wang, don't use such an interrogating tone, he is my countryman, my childhood playmate - Huzi!" ”
"Countrymen? What's going on? ”
Li Anyue pursed her lips and laughed happily. It turned out that just now she came out of the imperial study with a plate of mung bean cake with a look of chagrin, and before she walked out of the door of the Chengde Palace, she didn't pay attention to Lin Hu, who was disbanding the training.
"Ahh Mung bean cake! Li Anyue exclaimed, and her first reaction was to quickly protect the mung bean cake rewarded by the emperor in her hand, but there were still two mung bean cakes rolling out of the plate, only to see a flash of knife, Li Anyue did not react, and the two mung bean cakes fell steadily on the knife surface.
"Is the girl alright?" Huzi on the other side took off the mung bean cake and put it back on the plate she was holding.
"Oh, I'm fine. Fortunately, the mung bean cake didn't fall, otherwise I don't know if I would have been killed. Li Anyue patted her little heart in shock.
"Heh, how can the two mung bean cakes be killed, is it possible that the emperor eats them?" Huzi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
"How do you know this is the emperor?"
Lin Hu was slightly stunned, "You, you said this is really the emperor's mung bean cake?" ”
"Yes, this is what the emperor just rewarded me."
"Why, how could it be, how could the emperor reward you with such a little palace maid, you will be condemned if you make such a joke." Lin Hu was a little flustered, but after looking at Li Anyue, he thought she was joking.
Li Anyue glared at him, "I'm not kidding, I don't believe you can ask the emperor, I just came out of it!" ”
"Really?" Lin Hu looked at her straightforward appearance, and his momentum couldn't help but weaken.
"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you!" Li Anyue rolled his eyes.
"That's a faux pas, in Xia Lin Hu, apologize to the girl, may I ask the girl's surname?" Lin Hu smiled embarrassedly and gave her a gift.
"Don't give your surname Li."
"Miss Li...... Could it be that you are the Li Anyue who saved the holy car? Lin Hu's eyes widened for a moment, and his two black eyebrows were full of joy.
"Well, it's Li Anyue, that's right. That one...... If you're okay, I'll leave first. Li Anyue smiled a little awkwardly, and was ready to slip away.
"Please wait a minute, I would like to ask where the girl is from?" Lin Hu was anxious and grabbed Li Anyue, who was about to leave.
Li Anyue frowned and shook off his hand, "Please respect yourself in broad daylight!" ”
"I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry at the next moment, I really didn't mean to offend, and I want to ask where the girl is from?" Lin Hu apologized to her embarrassedly.
"What are you asking for?" Li Anyue saw that he had a good attitude of apology, so he didn't pull his legs and leave, but just asked coldly.
"There is a fellow villager who also has the same name and surname as the girl, but I have been separated from her for many years, so I have some suspicions in my heart, so I accidentally offended the girl."
Li Anyue raised her eyebrows, thinking that this ancient way of picking up is really lame. "Oh? Where is that countryman of yours? ”
"In Peach Blossom Village over there in Yongfang Town, the girl is from there?" Lin Hu looked at her with some excitement, his eyes full of expectation.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Anyue's heart, but it soon became suspicious, she stared at the man in front of her, "Peach Blossom Village? I've heard of it, but I also heard that the village was burned down by a fire a long time ago, and there was not a single living person left in the village, how could you still be that Li Anyue's fellow villager? ”
"W-What?" Lin Hu took a step back in surprise and shook his body, "What you said, but it's true?" When did this happen? ”
Li Anyue was a little unbearable when she saw his reaction like this, "It was already half a year ago. ”
"Is it true that none of the people in the village survived?" Lin Hu asked with tears in his eyes.
"Can you tell me first, what is your relationship with that Li Anyue?" Li Anyue asked with some hesitation.
"We were just playmates when we were kids. It's just that when I was ten years old, because my father died, I left Peach Blossom Village with my mother to join relatives, but she was not in the village at that time, so I was not able to say goodbye to her, but I always missed her in my heart. Could there be something wrong with what you said, and could it be that the village that was burned down was not the same? Or did the people in the village not die? ”
Li Anyue listened to his words, and unconsciously his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and he said these ......, "No, I saw it with my own eyes, the people in the village have been burned to death, and they were buried by my father's hands, only me and my sister survived, but Su Yuyan's whereabouts are unknown now." ”
Lin Hu looked at her blankly, with surprise and distress in his eyes, and finally he grabbed her arm and said excitedly, "Yue'er, Yue'er, are you Yue'er?" I'm a tiger! ”
Li Anyue's tears flowed down instantly, and those memories of the past also poured out at once, the village, those people, and those things...... They all invaded Li Anyue's heart together, "Woo, Huzi, you are really Huzi!" ”
The two of them were crying and laughing face to face, and after a while of worrying about being seen, Li Anyue wiped her tears, "Huzi, why did you enter the palace?" ”
"I went to relatives with my mother, but those relatives saw that our mother was lonely, and they were unwilling to take them in, and then they suffered a lot, my mother died of illness, I wandered around alone, and then entered a martial arts hall as an errand runner, secretly learned some martial arts, the owner of the hall saw that I had a good foundation and accepted me as an apprentice, and later because of the saffron in the martial arts competition, he was recommended to enter the palace as a guard. What about you, how are you here? How could he save the emperor? Lin Hu briefly told her about his experience over the years.
Li Anyue smiled bitterly, "Like you, I have experienced a lot of things, since the village was burned down to the present, I haven't thought about what happened, and I don't know how to tell you for a while, or tell you slowly." ”
"It's okay, it's rare for us to meet again today, and we shouldn't talk about these unhappy things. By the way, which palace do you work in? In this way, I will look for you in the future, and there will be a place to find you! ”
"I originally served the twelve princes in Changchun Palace, but now I have been promoted to a first-class palace maid by the emperor, and I am the emperor's personal palace maid, and it is estimated that I will have to stay by the emperor's side in the future." Li Anyue helplessly raised the mung bean cake in her hand, her face full of chagrin.
"Why do you have such an expression, shouldn't it be a happy thing to become the emperor's personal maid?" Huzi reached out and touched her head soothingly.
Li Anyue didn't refuse, although he was always very cold to him when he was a child, but it was false to say that he had no feelings, and now he miraculously met him again, and he always felt like he had found the warmth of home, so he just smiled.
"Yo, the blue sky and the day are so intimate, and it really makes people jealous when they see it." Unfortunately, flies always appear at the right time.
"The slave has seen Concubine Li." Li Anyue saluted her.
Luo Yan glanced at Li Anyue with a smile, but Lin Hu did not shy away from staring at her at all. She frowned slightly, and seemed to be satisfied with her charm, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Li Anyue, you are also very skilled, while hanging the crown prince and the fourth prince, you are seducing the emperor, and now even the palace guards have been hooked up by you." Why can't this palace see that you are mediocre and still have such charm? ”
"The slave maid thought, Concubine Li Niangniang may have misunderstood something, and the slave maid has not done what the maid said." Li Anyue replied coldly.
"Misunderstanding? Hearing is false, seeing is believing, but this palace has seen you and this little guard pulling and pulling with your own eyes, is this also a misunderstanding? ”
"Niangniang is indeed misunderstood, Miss Li and I just happen to be fellow villagers." When Lin Hu heard this, he retracted his gaze and argued.
"Oh, I still know how to defend my little lover, this palace is really going to be envious to death!" Luo Yan covered his mouth exaggeratedly and smiled.
"Huh!" Li Anyue couldn't help but smile disgusted when she saw her like this.
"Bold! What kind of expression do you have! Luo Yan was a little annoyed and angry when she smiled so contemptuously.
"The slave just wonders how the lady is so leisurely to entertain us as subordinates."
"Is it still reasonable to do such a shameless thing? You're so thick-skinned! Luo Yan sank and said coldly and sarcastically.
The slave didn't dare, but the slave and the maid just reunited with him for a long time and chatted for a while, and they didn't do anything unsightly under the blue sky. It is not like some people who have to hide from others at night to meet with certain people, compared to the behavior of slaves and maids, it is much more open. Li Anyue was not angry, and shot back leisurely.
"What do you mean?" Luo Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at her warningly.
"The slave doesn't mean anything else, so don't worry about it. Niangniang should be going to ask the emperor to say goodbye, it is estimated that the emperor is talking to the prince about things at this time, so it is better not to disturb Niangniang. ”
"Hmph, you don't need to do much!" Luo Yan's face was very ugly, she just flicked her sleeves and went to the imperial study without looking back.
Li Anyue saw that Lin Hu's eyes were still staring at Luo Yan's back, so he patted him on the head, "My eyes are so big, I'm not afraid of falling out!" ”
"No, Yue'er, don't get me wrong, I just think that this concubine is very much like a person, don't you think Yue'er?" Lin Hu scratched the back of his head in confusion and recalled.
"Like whom? Do I know each other? ”
Lin Hu changed from scratching his head to scratching his chin, and suddenly slapped his palms and exclaimed. "It's her!"
