313. Reunion after triumph
The next day, Li Rui learned that Xiao Comb was almost disfigured by the county lord of Baoyan.
He really didn't forgive the county lord of Bao Yan, first rushed to the sky in anger and scolded the county lord of Bao Yan, and told the county lord of Bao Yan who was still crying categorically that even if he didn't have a little comb, he would never marry her, because he would never want a woman with such a vicious heart.
Then, Li Rui met the emperor and the queen mother without delay, and resolutely expressed his attitude to his father and mother, he would rather be single for the rest of his life than marry the princess of Baoyan County.
Although the emperor and the queen mother were unhappy, they had no choice but to comfort the crying and noisy lord of Baoyan and said that they would definitely find a good in-law for her.
And no matter how much the county lord of Baoyan pleaded or sprinkled, Li Rui no longer wanted to pay attention to her, and he didn't even want to look at her more.
After a period of time, the county lord of Baoyan had no choice but to leave the palace in a gloomy state and return to the Longxi Palace.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring of the coming year. At this time, it had been a whole year since Su Junchu left the capital to participate in the war at the border pass.
In the course of this year, Nian Nian not only did not succeed in forgetting him, but as time went by, his thoughts about Su Junchu became more and more profound.
It is often said that first love is the most unforgettable. For Nian Nian, this is exactly the case.
She can't forget the sweet first kiss between the two under that bright moonlit night; Can't forget Su Junchu's lonely back when he was leaving, she didn't even say a word of blessing to him, but deliberately made him angry and left.
Whenever I think of this, I will have tears and regrets.
She could only silently pray in her heart that Su Junchu would triumph as soon as possible and return to their side safely.
Occasionally, she would also think of the Zhan Muyan who once made her hate so much.
Although in her mind, Zhan Muyan is almost synonymous with a villain and a pervert. But, after all, it was a man who was not easy to forget, a man who had a fatal attraction to all young girls.
His peerless demeanor and handsome appearance are firmly engraved in the hearts of many people just by looking at them.
If Zhan Muyan hadn't been so reluctant and embarrassed to miss Nian that time, if that regrettable thing hadn't happened later, just with his super cool and handsome appearance, Nian Nian would definitely have a deep affection for him.
It's just that his subsequent actions ruined all the good images in his mind.
Now that time has passed, Nian Nian thinks of Zhan Muyan again and is not as indignant as he was at the beginning. She was originally a cheerful and open-minded girl, but after so much time, she gradually didn't take it to heart.
On this day, Nian Nian and Su Xiaorou sat in the small garden and chatted.
As they spoke, the two turned the topic to Su Junchu. Now, Nian Nian always likes to talk to Su Xiaorou about their third brother, but in fact, she is unconscious.
But she didn't know that it was these unconscious words and deeds that just showed the strong reluctance and concern in her heart for Su Junchu.
The two sisters were talking happily when they saw Li Mo walking towards them with a spring breeze on his face.
Seeing the prince's excited expression, Nian Nian and Su Xiaorou were a little surprised, because Li Mo was serious and deep most of the time, and rarely put his joys, sorrows, and sorrows on the surface.
There must be something particularly happy about the way it is today.
Nian Nian asked curiously: "Prince, what makes you so happy?" ”
Li Mo looked at the two of them with a smile and said loudly: "Of course there is good news. Crown princess, your third brother is back, and he has returned victoriously, and his father has rewarded him as the king of Jinling. ”
"The third brother is back?" Nian Nian and Su Xiaorou shouted in surprise at the same time.
"Yes, he is now in his father's Tianhe Palace, and his father and mother are specially going to hold a banquet for their soldiers who have returned to the dynasty in triumph. I'm here to invite you to the banquet. Li Mo said happily with a smile.
Niannian's heart flew up all of a sudden, and her eyes instantly glowed with intoxicating brilliance, which made her whole person look extremely bright and vivid, and she had a different style and beauty.
She excitedly grabbed Su Xiaorou's hand and said repeatedly: "The third brother is back, the third brother is back!" Let's go meet him. ”
Su Xiaorou gently pulled out her hand: "Prince, you two go over, I'm just a palace maid, how can I go to the banquet in the palace?" Moreover, I don't really want to go to the queen's mother, if the third brother is free later, you can let the third brother come over for a while, and I will just talk to him here. ”
Su Xiaorou said what was in her heart, since the last time the queen mother beat her and she almost died, she has an extreme fear of the queen mother.
No matter what she does in the palace in the future, she has always been careful to avoid the queen and try not to come into direct contact with the queen mother.
Nian Nian and Li Mo could understand Xiao Rou's thoughts, so they were no longer reluctant. The two said goodbye to Su Xiaorou and went to Tianhe Palace together.
Along the way, Nian's heart fluctuated, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
After all, she and Su Junchu haven't seen each other for a whole year, and all kinds of disputes and helplessness at the beginning have now turned into endless lovesickness in the bottom of their hearts.
She hardly wanted to think about anything else, she just wanted to see him quickly, and even threw herself into his arms to confide in him about her thoughts and feelings for the past year.
When she came to the luxuriously decorated hall of Tianhe Palace, although it was already full of various princes and nobles and many triumphant soldiers, Nian Nian still recognized the figure that appeared in her dreams countless times at a glance.
is still so chic, still so handsome, among all the soldiers wearing military uniforms, Su Junchu Yushu's posture in the wind is still as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd.
"Third brother!" Nian Nian's eyes were hot for a while, and he didn't care about the many people in the hall, and even the emperor and the queen were sitting on it, so he rushed over and shouted excitedly.
Su Junchu turned his head, he saw Nian Nian, there was a moment of dizziness in his eyes, but soon he returned to normal.
"Hello, Crown Princess." Su Junchu looked at Nian Nian with a smile, his expression was calm and calm, and he couldn't see any special joy or excitement, as if Nian Nian was an ordinary person he met every day.
This polite "crown princess" vividly widened the distance between Nian Nian and Su Junchu, as if a thick wall suddenly separated them, and Nian Nian's enthusiasm suddenly plummeted from the boiling point just now to the freezing point.
Her eyes were red, and she heard her own weak voice coming out of her mouth with difficulty: "Third brother, you are back, hello." ”
At this time, the emperor Li Shenglong, who was sitting on the first dragon chair on the main hall, spoke: "The King of Jinling and the crown princess have a deep love for brothers and sisters. After three days, King Jinling and Princess Lanxin officially visited the church and got married, so our two families will be even more close to each other, and double happiness is coming. Come on, come on, everyone sit down, today I want to give amnesty to the world, and toast with all the people. ”
After listening to the emperor's words, Nian Nian only felt that the "buzz" in his brain was chaotic all of a sudden.
Except for the sentence that King Jinling and Princess Lanxin officially married three days later, she couldn't hear a word else.
In a daze, she followed Li Mo to a table and sat down, she saw Su Junchu sitting opposite her and Li Mo, and beside him, sat Princess Lanxin, who was dressed up in a fancy way.
What followed was a lively scene of staggered and cups colliding.
Nian Nian saw that Princess Lanxin was enthusiastically sandwiching this dish and that dish for Su Junchu from time to time, and she was clever and smiling.
Her heart felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and she couldn't tell what it tasted like. And in the face of a table full of delicacies, she didn't even have any appetite at all.
What she wanted most now was a glass of spirit, a bitter and spicy liquor that would make her forget all her troubles.
So, she picked up the glass in front of her and drank it dry in one gulp.
Then, Nian Nian poured a second glass of wine, tilted her head and poured it into her mouth again, she couldn't tell whether the wine tasted bitter or spicy.
When she was about to drink the third glass, Li Mo couldn't help but take the wine glass from her hand and help her drink it, and looked at her with a stopping look: "This wine is not like the rice wine you drank last time, this is a special strong soju specially made for the soldiers of the three armies, you will not be able to stand it if you drink too much." ”
Nian Nian smiled bitterly and said in his heart: Prince, I understand your kindness. However, do you know that I want to drink such a bitter and spicy cup of soju now, and I should be deprived of this right to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows?
Thinking like this, Nian Nian felt more and more tightness in his chest and irritability, and his head was groggy.
She whispered to the prince, "I'll go out and breathe." Then he quietly walked out through the side door of the palace.
As soon as I walked out of the door, a cool breeze hit. Niannian's stomach churned uncomfortably, and she quickly ran to the pool behind the side door and squatted down, spitting out all the little things she had just eaten.
When Nian Nian was top-heavy and her eyes were blooming, and she finally stood up with a small tree beside her, she heard a leisurely voice behind her: "You still don't know how to cherish yourself." ”
Nian Nian turned around and saw Su Junchu standing behind her, the silver moonlight covering him with a charming halo. This situation actually made Nian Nian feel like a world away.
"Third brother." Nian Nian screamed, tears fell as soon as she brushed up, she desperately threw herself into Su Junchu's arms, and said excitedly with tears in her eyes: "Third brother, I miss you so much, I miss you so much this year." ”
"Oh?" Su Junchu stretched out his arms and hugged Nian Nian, but his voice was extremely strange and distant: "Do you really miss me?" When you lie next to Li Mo every day, do you still think of me? ”
