According to common sense, as the daughter of a courtier's family, the birthday banquet will not let the ministers of the court and the central government bring their daughters to congratulate at all. However, the emperor ordered to borrow Sun Luyuan's birthday banquet to the general Sun Yubai to hold a banquet, and he will come to Sun's mansion in person. The emperor personally came to the courtier's house to hold a banquet, which was a great honor. Now, even the ministers in the court who are not dealing with the Sun family are coming, not to mention those officials who want to deal with the Sun family. Each of them had a smile on their faces, but it was unknown how sincere and how fake they were.

Princess Sun and Sun Luyuan stood at the gate of the inner courtyard, greeting groups of female dependents. The general's wife was busy with the banquet in the backyard.

With a decent smile, he stood quietly behind Princess Sun. over and over again obediently answering similar questions from different ladies; Listen to their insincere compliments over and over again. Obviously, his face was stiff with a smile, but he still had to maintain everyone's beautiful posture and watch his mother greet his wife. But in his heart, he secretly said 'hypocrisy'

Pink embroidered shoes, pink shirts. A familiar voice sounded in Sun Luyuan's ears, "Sister Yuan'er"

"Sister Shuyin" Sun Luyuan's eyes lit up, her savior came, and she finally had an excuse to escape from here. She suppressed her excitement, dragged Princess Sun beside her, blinked her eyes, and the expectation in her eyes was unobstructed.

Princess Sun knew her temperament, and she must be tired of standing like this for a long time. He nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Okay" Sun Luyuan took Wang Shuyin's hand and trotted away, leaving all the ladies behind.

Yun Jin and Wang Shuyin's maid Tao Yao hurriedly followed.

Princess Sun smiled and joked with Mrs. Wang, "These two children..."

Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the air seems to have become much fresher. Sun Luyuan, Wang Shuyin and other four people arrived at the small pavilion in the middle of the lake in the back garden of the palace.

"Sister Shuyin, why did you come. I'm bored to death. ”

"You don't even see how hypocritical the laughter of those people is, and the way they voice when they call my name. Uh...."Sun Luyuan couldn't help but shudder, his expression was helpless.

Wang Shuyin didn't speak, her smiling eyes looked at her dotingly, quietly listening to her chattering complaints.

Sun and Wang are world friends, and Sun Lu'an's mother is Wang Shuyin's aunt, so the two families can be said to be close to each other. Wang Shuyin is three years older than Sun Luyuan, three years younger than Sun Luan, and the same age as Sun Lumin. The four of them are childhood friends who have played since childhood, and the friendship is not comparable to ordinary people.

Wang Shuyin's personality is very stable, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at a young age, and has the name of 'Kyoto Little Talented Girl'. Don't say it, the sweet and demure atmosphere exuded in the bones, with a delicate appearance. If you can't reach the country and the city, you can also count as a beautiful woman on the mark. Before he could get married, there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to make a marriage, and he almost broke the door of the Wang family.

"Sister Shuyin, you didn't see your eldest brother when you came. You haven't been here for a long time, have you missed him. ”

"Yuan'er" Wang Shuyin's cheeks were flushed, and she said coquettishly, "You little girl, you will make fun of me." Then, with his head down, he smiled.

This girl's mind is like this repeated spring breeze, it is so delicate that people can't figure it out. But it is often broken when stabbed, as fragile as paper. I don't want people to know, but I want that person to understand my mind.

"Yuan'er, I heard from my mother that you had a cold a few days ago. I wanted to come and see you and ask you what kind of birthday gift you like. But my mother kept stopping me, saying that she wouldn't let me disturb you, how are you? Are you better? ”

"Wind chill? Well, it's better. Sun Luyuan staggered Wang Shuyin's concerned gaze with a weak heart, and subconsciously touched his nose. It's my mother who made a big fuss, and there is no legend at all, it's just a little wind and cold. Don't believe it, you see. "Finished. also deliberately stood up and turned around to show Wang Shuyin.

"Looking at your lively appearance, it doesn't look like there is a problem, I'm relieved. No, this is for you. Wang Shuyin took out a dagger from behind his back as if he was playing a trick. I didn't ask you, so I had to take it upon myself to choose a dagger. I know you like to practice martial arts, even though you want to be lazy every time. This dagger is not expensive, and it is not an antique. I give it to you and let it protect you in my place. ”

"Sister Shuyin" Sun Luyuan's nose was slightly sour, and his voice was slightly choked.

Her sister is not a few years older than her. She has also grown up in the palm of her hand since she was a child, but as long as it involves her, her sister will not hesitate to stand in front of her.

"It's so big, why do you still like to cry your nose."

"Where? The wind was strong and fascinated the eyes. Sun Luyuan turned his head away and said goodbye to the tears rolling in his eyes. She drew her dagger, and her shadow was reflected in the smooth and shiny surface of the knife. "Good dagger, thank you, sister. It was my sister's gift that won my heart the most. ”

"You little girl, you just have a sweet mouth."

"Then I can be sweeter." Sun Luyuan leaned into Wang Shuyin's ear and whispered, "Sister Shuyin, I'll take you to see the eldest brother to relieve the pain of lovesickness." It's my thank you gift, okay? ”

"You little girl, tease me again. How can there be a brother who should be a thank-you gift? ”

"Sister Shuyin, aren't you happy to see your eldest brother?"

Wang Shuyin's little face was slightly red again, and this time, even the tips of his ears were red. Hanging his head slightly, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, he whispered, "Joy, naturally joy." ”

Sun Luyuan sent Yun Jin to take Tao Yao to give them some snacks, and while the two of them left, she took Wang Shuyin and slipped into the front yard.

The wind and the people are more open, and men and women are allowed to go to the banquet together. But in the end, there is a difference between men and women, so before the feast officially begins, men and women must be separated. The male guests are in the outer courtyard, while the female relatives are in the inner courtyard.

Because of a prophecy of the Taoist priest, Sun Luyuan was strictly guarded by his family and was not allowed to step out of the inner courtyard. Therefore, she is not very familiar with her own outer courtyard, so she can only take Wang Shuyin blindly with the memory of sneaking out of the house last time. The point is that she can't say that she is lost, because she can't even find her way back. I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and play haha with Wang Shuyin.

"Yuan'er, we've been around here for a long time, are you sure you know?"

"Of course, I know." Sun Luyuan replied vaguely while privately searching. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. Not far away, under a willow tree, stood a man. Looking at the figure, it is a teenager; Judging by the clothes, it should be the guests who come to the banquet.

"Sister Shuyin, you wait for me for a while."

"Hey" Wang Shuyin shouted, suddenly realized where he was, and immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Asking for directions"

Sun Luyuan straightened the folds on his dress, put on a dignified smile, and approached the boy step by step.

"Excuse me..."

"Huh?" The boy turned his head, and he should have heard footsteps behind him.

Sun Luyuan felt that everything around her was still, and all she looked at was the young man in front of her. With red lips and white teeth, a pair of Danfeng eyes seem to be embedded with two night pearls, which are so clear and bright. Half of the long black hair is coiled on top of his head with a jasper hairpin, and half is casually draped. The light blue brocade is not luxurious, but it is just right.

The young man was not annoyed by Sun Luyuan's good eyes looking at him, but had a hint of pleasure. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his voice was soft, soft, and pleasant.

"What are you looking at, girl?"

"Look at you, you're so good-looking, better than my brother." Sun Luyuan said what he thought in his heart. By the time I reacted, it was too late. She tried to explain, but found the young man's burning eyes staring at her. "You... What are you looking at? ”

"Look at you."

"Huh?"

"l Come and don't be rude."

Sun Luyuan heard it, the young man was teasing her. His face turned red after a while, not shy, but angry. Obviously, Sun Lumin came as soon as he opened his mouth on weekdays, but he couldn't say a word today. In the end, he forcibly held back the word 'demon' and stopped speaking.

All that remained in the frozen air was the hearty laughter of the teenager.

"Yuan'er"

Wang Shuyin waited for a long time, but did not see Sun Luyuan come back. I was in a hurry, so I came out to look for her. After walking a few steps, he saw Sun Luyuan standing with a strange boy. Sun Luyuan hung his head, and the young man laughed loudly, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was being bullied. She shouted and protected Sun Luyuan behind her.

Without waiting for Sun Luyuan and the boy to say anything, Wang Shuyin took the initiative and said to the boy with a head and face. What 'bullying a weak girl', what 'the palace does not allow him to be presumptuous', and so on.

Sun Luyuan wanted to explain, but Wang Shuyin didn't give him a chance at all. After she finished speaking, she pulled Sun Luyuan away, and her hand was so strong that she couldn't break free.

Everyone has a weakness, and Sun Luyuan is Wang Shuyin's weakness. Gentle and virtuous, they can all disappear completely because of Sun Luyuan.

Sun Luyuan looked back at the young man apologetically, and the young man smiled lightly from her, without any trace of anger. Sun Luyuan smiled back, and had an inexplicable affection for the young man.

When the figures of the two disappeared without a trace, the smile on the young man's face gradually cooled. Lowering his head slightly, the shade of the tree hid most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment. But the soft spring breeze brought out his faint but clear voice. "Sun Luyuan, we finally meet again."

"Brother Luan, you are now the leader of our young talents in Kyoto."

"yes, yes."

"Brother Lu An was named a little general by His Majesty at such an age, and he went out with his father, he really can be called a tiger father without a dog."

"yes, yes."

A group of teenagers gathered around Sun Lu'an, some saying beautiful words, and some whispering.

Sun Luan smiled without saying a word, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Sister Shuyin, Sister Shuyin," Sun Luyuan tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, "Let's go over and find my brother." ”

"Yuan'er" Wang Shuyin slowly moved his gaze away from Sun Lu'an's body, fell on Sun Luyuan, and muttered, "Is he going to the frontier?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "I know, he is an eagle, he should soar in the sky, how can he be stuck here. He should go to defend his family and country. ”

The loss in her tone Sun Luyuan didn't understand; The loneliness in her expression Sun Luyuan didn't understand; But Sun Luyuan could clearly feel that she was unhappy.

"Sister Shuyin, you.... What's wrong? ”

"It's okay," the corners of Wang Shuyin's mouth raised a dignified smile again.

"That, we.... Oops" Sun Luyuan's knees hurt, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.

Her exclamation frightened Wang Shuyin, and also attracted the attention of those children of the family who talked eloquently.

"Who's where?" Someone from the family asked in a loud voice.

Sun Luan heard it clearly, it was clearly his little sister's voice. On such occasions, if the identity is revealed, there may be some rumors. He immediately made a decision, and without waiting for others to step forward, he stepped forward to stop everyone, and said with a smile, "Everyone, it's not a big deal." Xu is maid in the house is ineffective and disturbs everyone. ”

"Xiao'an, you take you to the front to drink tea first, and I'll deal with it."

The children of the family looked at each other, and no one refuted. only asked Sun Lu'an to make peace with them earlier, and then left with Xiao'an.

"Come out"

Fortunately, Wang Shuyin's hand quickly covered Sun Luyuan's mouth just now, so that Sun Luyuan did not make any other movements, and Sun Luan easily covered up the past.

"Brother"

Sun Luyuan was supported by Wang Shuyin, and limped out of the corner of the wall, with a few leaves sticking to the corner of his skirt, so he was not embarrassed.

"Cousin" Wang Yinshu bowed slightly, but did not look at him. Hang your head and look at your toes.

"Cousin" Sun Luan first greeted Wang Yinshu before looking at Sun Luyuan. Jian frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Luyuan raised an innocent smile and said innocently, "I said we were passing by, do you believe it?" ”

"Nonsense. It's not good to follow my aunt, how can I run around the house at will with a sound book. "There is no reproach in the words of reproach.

"I don't have any. It's just that Brother Jue is going to go on the expedition with his uncle, and he won't see Sister Yinshu for a while. Don't be ignorant of good people. ”

Sun Luyuan is very smart, but in the end, he is a child, and he can say whatever he wants.

Although it was an unintentional word, it could defeat the enemy with one move, and in one sentence, Sun Lu'an wanted to say everything back.

"Which, brother, I still have something to do, Sister Yinshu will leave it to you."

Sun Luan opened her mouth to ask where she was going, but Sun Luyuan ran too fast. The two glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly.
