It was early when I went out, and it was dusk when I returned.

Ye Nianchen was in a complicated mood at the moment, but she finally agreed with Gu Mingyi's decision.

She couldn't tell whether she was doing this selfishly or not.

The style at dusk was cold and cold, but blowing on Ye Nianchen's body made her feel a short period of lucidity, and the darkening sky was constantly devouring the so-called lucidity.

Maybe my uncle is right, she should believe in Mingyi unreservedly, and any scruples and worries at this moment will only become a constraint and drag on him.

But perhaps, from the very beginning, his appearance in this man's life was a kind of drag......

"Still worried?" Gu Mingyi didn't know when he appeared beside Ye Nianchen, stretched out his hand to hug him in his arms, gentle as water: "It's windy here, beware of catching a cold." ”

"How did you get out? Doesn't it give you a good rest in it? Ye Nianchen turned around, faced Gu Mingyi, and said distressedly: "My body is not good, but I haven't had a good rest after turning around outside for so long today, and now I dare to run out to blow the cold wind with you, don't you want to die?" ”

"With you, what's this bit of wind?" Gu Mingyi smiled extremely comfortably, and reached out to touch Ye Nianchen's cheek: "It's a little cold, but it's okay." Do you want to stay here or do you want to go back to the house? ”

"What a fool!" Ye Nianchen sighed a little helplessly, and pulled Gu Mingyi back to the house.

In such a cold place, her body can stand it, but Gu Mingyi absolutely can't stand it. I really don't know what this guy thinks, and he still wants to accompany her here to drink the northwest wind.

was reprimanded by Ye Nianchen, Gu Mingyi was not displeased at all, but had a happy face, and soon obediently followed back to the house, but it didn't take any effort to get people into the house.

Seeing Gu Mingyi's undisguised smug smile, Ye Nianchen didn't care, and stuffed Gu Mingyi into the quilt three or two times, covering it warmly, for fear that he would have any problems with his body due to the wind just now.

"Dust. I'm still cold. "I didn't think about it. Gu Mingyi took her hand and acted like a child.

"Still cold? Who told you to run out of the way? Ye Nianchen pretended to be angry and asked, but then said, "Then you wait, I'll go get you a bed quilt again." ”

After saying that, she got up and wanted to leave. His hand was held tightly by Gu Mingyi. There is no intention of loosening at all.

"If you don't let go, how can I get it?" Ye Nianchen couldn't laugh or cry a little. She really didn't expect Gu Mingyi to be so cheating on her.

"Don't bother so much, you can just sit close to me." Gu Mingyi held Ye Nianchen's hand and tightened it again, and said with a satisfied look: "Let's talk to me again." I can't sleep right now. ”

Today is the first good day in his life, and it is the big day when he and Ye Nianchen are officially engaged, even if he has long been separated from his uncle, even if he has been back for so long, the joy and excitement in his heart have not subsided at all.

At such a time, he doesn't know how much his spirit is, where is the slightest bit of sleepiness?

Even if you really fall asleep, it is estimated that the dream is full of yourself and dust, and I am afraid that I will wake up with a smile quickly if I dream.

"Why can't you sleep? You have consumed a lot of energy today, and you haven't rested well, what if you don't get a good night's sleep, what if you can't bear it? Ye Nianchen said with blame, but because he was worried.

Gu Mingyi laughed at the moment: "I'm fine, my spirit is fine now, today is the big day of our engagement, I am happy, happy in my heart." Dust, are you happy? ”

"Of course, I'm just as happy as you are!" Ye Nianchen couldn't help laughing: "You, you're such a fool, even if you're happy, you can't help but rest." ”

"Just talk for a while, ...... for a while" Gu Mingyi pleaded, holding the hand of Ye Nianchen, who was closer to him, with a smile on his face.

Being stared at by such a gaze, Ye Nianchen couldn't bear to refuse, after thinking about it, she nodded: "Then talk about it for a while, don't use your brain too much, be too tired, if you are sleepy, hurry up and rest." ”

Gu Mingyi saw that Ye Nianchen had responded, and he did everything he could to ask for it.

Then, the two of them were really next to each other, you and I said sentence by sentence, nothing particularly important at all, and there was no fixed logic at all, it was all those irrelevant words, saying whatever you wanted, and saying whatever you wanted.

However, even so, such an atmosphere is more warm, more touching and yearning than the sweet words between the young couple.

"Okay, it's been so long, you should rest!" After a while, Ye Nianchen saw that Gu Mingyi was already a little tired, and immediately decisively ordered Gu Mingyi to rest and not continue.

"Okay, listen to you, I'll rest." Gu Mingyi was really obedient this time, and lay down obediently, letting Ye Nianchen tidy up the bedding for him.

With a smile on his face, he quietly watched Ye Nianchen take care of himself, and that feeling was indescribably beautiful.

Just as Ye Nianchen was about to get up, Gu Mingyi suddenly said: "Chen'er, I haven't met you in this life, maybe I have lived much longer than anyone else, but that kind of life is too boring, even if it is one or two hundred years, it is the same as a day." But since I got to know you, every day of mine is wonderful and full of vitality and hope, and every day is meaningful and happy! ”

"So Chen'er, thank you, thank you for letting me meet you, thank you for liking me too!" In the end, Gu Mingyi was soft and solemn word by word: "My life has become meaningful because of you, and because of you, I know how happy it is to live!" Meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life! ”

Ye Nianchen's nose was sour, and his heart was indescribably moved.

She was still struggling with whether she was Gu Mingyi's burden and drag, but she didn't expect this man who was as careful as dust to understand every trace of thought in her heart so clearly.

Know her, understand her, respect her, respect her. Love her, protect her, this man cherishes her all the time and meticulously with everything he has, how does this make her not moved, how can she not be moved by this man?

"Meeting you is also the greatest blessing of my life!" She responded with her heart, smiling like a flower, and the bloom of this moment will always be remembered in each other's hearts.

And from now on, Ye Nianchen no longer has any entanglements, self-doubts and struggles, because of all this. In front of that pure and pure true feeling. None of it is worth mentioning!

Two days later, Li Zhi finally issued an order to summon Liu Zitong to the palace for an audience.

Unlike what Liu Zitong thought, Li Zhi was even more calm than he imagined, and he didn't mention anything related to his niece Ye Nianchen during the entire audience. All of the references were to matters related to southern Xinjiang. It's like being really recalled to the capital to report on work.

Li Zhi didn't mention it. Liu Zitong naturally didn't say anything as if he didn't know anything, but the gentleman and the ministers seemed to be very harmonious, and they couldn't see anything special.

"Your Majesty. Wechen is in a hurry to return to Beijing this time, and many matters in the army have not yet had time to be specifically explained, and now there are no other matters in the capital, Wechen hopes to return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so as not to have any negligence and chaos because Wechen is not there. ”

In the end, Liu Zitong directly asked Shi Yi to return to southern Xinjiang and asked Li Zhi when he would be able to go back.

Li Zhi looked at Liu Zitong, and said calmly after a moment: "I know that Liu Aiqing is conscientious and cares about southern Xinjiang, but you don't have to worry too much, you should have more confidence in your subordinates, and believe that they can take care of those military affairs when you leave in a short time." ”

"Starting tomorrow, Aiqing can go to various ministries to report on his work in detail, which can not only allow the imperial court to further understand the various changes and recent conditions in the southern latitude over the years, but also a procedure that must be followed. After the debriefing of the various ministries, Aiqing will reunite with her relatives in the capital for a few days, after all, you have not been back to the capital for more than ten years, and you should also live for a while to see the changes in the capital. ”

Li Zhi finally said: "As for the schedule of the final return to southern Xinjiang, it will not be too late to be determined according to the specific situation. ”

The meaning of these words could not be clearer, and Liu Litong did not want to mention the specific issue of returning to Xinjiang too much.

"Weichen obeys the order, thank the emperor for his grace!" He thanked him at the moment: "If there is nothing else, Weichen will retire first, and ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, rest more, and don't overwork." ”

Li Zhi didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Zitong saluted again, and quickly took a few steps back, preparing to leave.

But just as he was about to turn around, he heard Li Zhi stop him again.

"Wait a minute, I still have a private matter to tell Aiqing."

Li Zhi didn't delay any longer, and quickly said straight to Liu Zitong: "It's been two days since you returned to Beijing, and you must have heard some rumors or news in the capital, I don't know if you have seen your niece Ye Nianchen in the past few days?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Wechen hasn't seen Wechen's niece in the past few days." Liu Zitong couldn't help frowning, and sighed slightly at the moment and said: "Speaking of which, Weichen has been worried for the past few days, I don't know where that girl has gone, in case of danger, it will be ......."

"Hasn't Aiqing really seen her?" Li Zhi interrupted Liu Zitong's words, and there was no special expression on his face, just stared at Liu Zitong and asked: "I still think, the day before yesterday, Aiqing went to that century-old store just to see her, it seems that I misunderstood?" ”

Li Zhi didn't say anything, but he was already sure that Liu Zitong must have met Ye Nianchen that day, even if the people he sent out to spy on Liu Zitong openly and secretly did not find anything abnormal.

And in fact, he could conclude that Gu Mingyi must have been there that day, because apart from Gu Mingyi, who else in this capital could have such great ability to haunt Ye Nianchen under his nose without being noticed?

Liu Zixin was shocked, he really didn't expect Li Zhi to be so keen.

Obviously, they didn't have the slightest abnormality that day, and they didn't arouse anyone's suspicion, so Liu Zitong believed that Li Zhi was definitely just an intuition after the fact, not because someone reported that something abnormal had been discovered, otherwise he would have been surrounded by people at that time, and it would have been impossible to leave smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zitong will be even more surprised.

It seems that Gu Mingyi's idea is indeed the most correct, with Li Zhi's heart, if this matter cannot be completely solved, it will be useless for Gu Mingyi to run to the ends of the earth with Nianchen in the future!

"Your Majesty, Weichen just went to drink wine that day because he was in a bad mood, not to meet anyone, but to invite the emperor to Mingjian!" Liu Zitong naturally won't admit anything, and even if he is shocked in his heart, he still can't show it on his face.

"No, it's not, I'm just asking casually and guessing." Li Zhi actually laughed, and in turn comforted Liu Zitong and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about Nianchen, I believe that she shouldn't be in any danger now, just run out to play for a while." When she's had enough, she'll come back! ”

"Thank you for your concern, thank you for your good words!" Liu Zitong looked at Li Zhi's smile, and subconsciously felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Aiqing, there is something I told you in advance, when Nianchen comes back, I am going to take her into the palace and make her a concubine, do you think it's okay?"

Li Zhi directly provoked and said: "You are her uncle, and you are also the only relative she respects and trusts now, I hope that after Nianchen becomes my concubine, I will also add Aiqing as the mayor of Zhennan, so that in the future, the concubine's maiden background can also match her identity." ”

Liu Zitong listened, but the whole person knelt down directly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is grateful!" It's just that Liu Zitong didn't receive the order to thank him, but made all the palace people on the side refuse in public in disbelief: "Heavenly grace is vast, Weichen has no reason not to be ecstatic, but, but Weichen's niece Nianchen really doesn't have that kind of blessing, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”

"Liu Zitong, do you dare to resist the decree?" Li Zhi stared at Liu Zitong kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, although he was not too surprised.

"Weichen naturally doesn't dare, but Weichen really doesn't dare to bully the king!"

Liu Zitong cautiously explained: "Please let the emperor know clearly, it is really Weichen's niece who does not have such a good blessing, she is already engaged to someone, and she has already had a marriage contract, and I ask the emperor to forgive her sins!" ”

"Engaged? Who are you engaged to? When did this happen? Why have I never heard of it? Li Zhi suddenly lowered his face, his chest rose and fell sharply, and the annoyance in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He stared at Liu Zigang deadly, his eyes full of undisguised ridicule and disbelief in anger. (To be continued.) )
