On February 16 of the ninth year of Shaoping, the special envoy Qin Nanfu passed through Yunze City and did not enter. Hexi Jiedu envoy Situ Yi led the crowd outside the city to greet and send, and it took two days to return home. It was inconvenient for Qin Nanxi to go outside the city with him, so he had to wait anxiously in the house.

The wait was originally anxious, but this time, Qin Nanxi was only in a trance for a moment, and his brother Qin Nanfu had already welcomed Princess Changyi back.

Yunze City has already prepared a ceremony to welcome her, and early in the morning of the third day of the third month of March, Situ Yi led everyone to greet Princess Changyi outside the city.

In the distance, I saw an apricot yellow flag in the dust and smoke, and slowly, I saw an apricot-yellow felt chariot in the vast honor guard. Qin Nanfu rode first, although he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a good demeanor, but he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, and it was not an easy errand to welcome the princess back to court.

Qin Nanxi's body bowed down with the leading Situ Yiyingying, but his eyes couldn't help but look at his brother who was in the dust. Qin Nanfu immediately saw her, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then he hid the joy on his eyebrows.

Beside him was the sound of the emcee according to the rules and regulations, Qin Nanxi was hidden in the crowd, his body was worshipping outside, he raised his eyes to see the brocade curtain hanging on the door of the public opinion, and he actually felt sorry for the princess of the previous dynasty who had never met in his heart for no reason.

Yes, she's a princess, but she's also a girl. She married a foreign vassal in her prime, and carried the peace of the frontier with her weak shoulders. Thirty years, in terms of the dawn of a peaceful and prosperous world, is just a snap of a finger. And for her, I don't know how these 30 years have been like years? And how do you walk on thin ice? How to prepare for it?

Qin Nanxi's mind was dark, and his eyes couldn't help but freeze the curtain.

I saw that the brocade curtain opened, and Princess Changyi slowly descended. In front of her, she was dressed in a plain white and flawless deep clothes, with a few plain white bead flowers on her bun, her temples were slightly frost-colored, although her face was covered with the dust of the years, but on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, the awe-inspiring look was still there, and her thin and short body had a kind of arrogance that defied everything. She stood quietly outside the gate of Yunze City, with a graceful and elegant appearance, as if she was just going to the country and her relatives. The long thirty years behind her were all gently tucked in her calm sleeves and melted into the smile on her lips.

Qin Nanxi stared at the princess's eyebrows, only inexplicably cordial.

The princess lowered her eyes and looked at the group of people in front of her, raised her hand slightly, signaled everyone to be exempt, then looked at Situ Yi, and asked lightly, "You are Situ Jing's son?" ”

Situ Yi bowed down again when he heard this, and said: "Da Chu Anxi Festival envoy Situ Yi, and welcome Princess Changyi back to the court by the grace of my lord!" After he said that, he got up, met the princess's gaze, and said calmly: "Yunze is just a small border town built in recent years, very cold and despicable, there is no princess to live in the palace, Situ Yi has the courage to implore the princess to respect, and today he will stay in the lower mansion." If you are slow, please ask the princess for forgiveness. ”

He didn't call Princess Changyi a vassal because he saw that she was dressed in a vegetarian body, and she was clearly serving filial piety to the country, she was returning to her hometown, and her soul had been martyred. He deliberately mentioned that Yunze was a border city built in recent years, but he was just reminding this princess of the former dynasty that the current peace in the world was made by the generals of Great Chu, not by Qianqi in a corner of Gou'an.

After hearing this, Princess Changyi glanced at him calmly, owed a very slight debt, and said, "Thank you General Situ for your trouble." After all, she has been practicing for 30 years, and she doesn't know the times. Emperor Chu still thanked her for her kindness, left her title of princess, took great pains to welcome her back to the Central Plains, and agreed to her request to spend the rest of her life in Ruoshui Nunnery, what else could she ask for? Even if the handsome descendant who greeted her in front of her was the son of Situ Jing, the murderer who forced her brother Prince Yumin to death, what could she do if she was a princess of the dead country? The country is gone, the family is broken, and she has nothing left but the dignity in her blood?

Situ Yi saw that she owed herself, and hurriedly returned the salute, he did not admire the righteousness of the princess, but in his position, he had to take a clear position.

was about to welcome the princess into the city, but he saw that the princess was looking at Liu Qi in the crowd behind him, the corners of her eyes full of years marks, and the eyes that had been calm suddenly flashed with a trace of sadness.

There was silence all around, and everyone's eyes fell on her, all stunned. Liu Qi was also stunned by her eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head and leaned down, just about to bow again, but saw the princess quietly turn around and leave, and followed Situ Yi into the city. And the people hurried into the city after them.

Although the welcoming procession was vast, Princess Changyi herself was extremely modest and uneventful, and she entered the inner garden of the General's Mansion with a few personal maids, and she was fine.

But even if the princess is cautious, after all, there is a princess staying in the house, so naturally she can't be as comfortable as usual, Qin Nanxi and Xiaofei can only stay obediently in the outer garden and temporarily come out to give them a room, not daring to move around at will.

Qin Nanxi knew that his brother would take the princess with him in three days, and he would also take him back to Chang'an, and at this time, his brother was in Situ Yi's room, and the two seemed to have something important to discuss.

Counting the days, it has only been more than 100 days since she ran away from marriage and left home, and she has avoided Situ Yi from the beginning to the faint reluctance to him now, such earth-shaking changes are beyond her own expectations, and will definitely make her brother dumbfounded.

Qin Nanxi pinched the small azure sachet he had embroidered in his palm, and smiled dumbly. She finally understood that she and Situ Yi were destined to marry, and she always wanted to marry him.

"What are you laughing at!" Xiao Fei was already bored when he was locked up in the house, and when he saw Qin Nanxi, who was about to part, he was still smiling, so he chattered angrily: "Are you a person made of stone?" We've been together for months, and you're about to leave, but instead of a nostalgic word, you're happy! If you want to be happy, find a place to carry someone and be happy alone, why bother to let me see it! General, general, he is good to you! You're just gone? You, you just go back to your Chang'an to be your daughter, and let him marry the daughter of the Qin family who burns people and ghosts? ”

Qin Nanxi only tilted her head and looked at Xiao Fei with a smile, and finally waited for her to stop before taking her hand and said solemnly: "Xiao Fei, there is something I have been hiding from you, today, I tell you honestly, you don't blame me, I had no choice but to do so." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Fei withdrew his hand and said angrily.

Qin Nanxi stared at her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I don't have the surname Su ......."

"What? You're not surnamed Su again?! What the hell is going on with you? Last time the name was fake, and this time the surname is not real! Do you still have any sincerity? Still say I'm a liar? Dare you lie to me sooner than I lie to you! Dumbo almost jumped out of his chair.

Seeing her excited appearance, Qin Nanxi hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and comforted her for a long time, seeing that she was slightly better, before she said tentatively: "Actually, I, my surname is Qin." ”

"Qin? Do you want to tell me that you are the first emperor of Qin? Xiao Fei's nose was crooked.

Qin Nanxi was amused by her and laughed, and simply said clearly to her angry back: "Lord Qin Nanfu who came today is my brother." ”

When her words landed, Xiao Fei's feet dangling under the chair were frozen as if they had been immobilized, and it took a long time to turn around with difficulty, glaring at her and asking her, "You, do you mean that you are the daughter of the Qin Mansion?" ”

Qin Nanxi smiled brightly and said, "Well, it's like a fake!" ”

"That, that, who is Miss Qin who burned it?" Xiaofei was puzzled.

Qin Nanxi was asked about this, only to feel a pain in his heart, and only reluctantly said for a long time: "Then, that is not me." ”

"So, aren't you, it's the general's ......" Xiao Fei didn't say the word "fiancée", and the huge surprise in her eyes followed by a trace of a very slight loss was fleeting.

Qin Nanxi didn't notice it, only closed his eyes and let out a long breath, took Xiao Fei's hand and said, "Finally say it, I don't have to feel guilty anymore that I lied to you!" ”

Seeing her relieved appearance, Xiao Fei only laughed twice unnaturally, and then hurriedly continued: "General, does he know about this?" After asking, he didn't wait for Qin Nanxi to answer, he lowered his head and muttered to himself: "He naturally knows!" He even called your girlfriend name so smoothly and so nicely, so naturally he already knew that you were his......"

"Xiaofei, I really had to leave home at the beginning, so I can't tell you clearly, you must not hold a grudge. In two days, I will go back to Chang'an with my brother, after I leave, please, please take good care of the general, his injuries have not healed......" Qin Nanxi held Xiao Fei's hand and interrupted her.

"Hehe, this is inseparable? Who mentioned Situ Yi that day, and gritted his teeth when he mentioned these three words? Dumbo grinned.

Qin Nanxi's face burned with a red cloud, and he bit the corner of his lip and was just about to confess, when he heard someone outside the door to invite: "Miss Su, the general is invited." ”
