Mercy and Grace Hall in the backyard of the palace

Ye Qinyu and Xue Chunyue knelt in front of the spiritual seat of King Jing and his wife, and did not stand up for a long time, and finally Liu Yi pulled Ye Qinyu up and said softly, "Father and mother have been liberated, and they will no longer want to dwell on the past...... Chunyue, back then, it was my father who took advantage of you and Liu You, and I reported it back, I have nothing to say, the past is gone, and the grievances are written off, how about it? ”

"Good! I, Xue Chunyue, can stand here alive, and I also want to thank Liu You and King Jing, the past is over, never mention it again! ”

"Brother Yi......"

"You're here for?"

"For Qinyu's sake, she misses your brother."

"Oh? I thought you were ...... for Concubine De."

"I didn't expect that the prince lived in the palace and didn't ask about the world, but he also knew Concubine De."

"Hmph, it's hard to ...... if you don't know."

"I'm sorry, Brother Yi...... We have no intention of offending the Princess—"

"No problem! The concubine doesn't care, and she won't want to get involved in anything related to His Majesty. ”

"Uh, Brother Yi, let's go to the garden to enjoy the spring, this is one of the things that the prince and the princess must do in the spring, I still remember when I was a child, we were playing in the garden, they were watching us laugh ......", Ye Qinyu pulled Liu Yi and walked all the way to the garden, this palace, no matter when she came, there will always be a sense of intimacy, this intimacy, in the warm spring, is even stronger, it is really a long time gone......

Liu Yi was led by him, so he could only speed up his pace, "Heh...... Oh, yes...... In the past, it was just me and you, but later, there were a few more brothers and sisters, and the more children should have been more lively, but it was getting harder and harder for the mother to smile......"

"There are fewer and fewer smiles, not only the princess, but also the prince...... The concubines married by the prince were just angry with the princess, but they didn't know that he was torturing not only the princess, but also himself! If the princess doesn't raise her eyebrows, how can he raise her eyebrows...... But...... Brother Yi, what about them? "It's quiet in the house, where did those concubines and younger siblings go?

"It's enough to trap me in this prison, so why trap them? I divided all the property of the king's house, and received a share of each house's life. They are all the heirs of King Jing, and when they become adults, they will have an official and a half-job grace, and they will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life. ”

"That'...... What about you? ”

"Me? Didn't I inherit the title? Although I have no position or power, the county king's income is enough for me to squander it for a lifetime! ”

"Brother Yi! You know that's not what I'm talking about! You're not too young, so it's time to find someone to stay with for the rest of your life—"

"Qinyu, Brother Liu is not a child anymore, you don't need to worry about these things!"

"What? Lord Xue is worried, will I rob Qinyu with you? ”

"Brother Liu, you and I are cousins, the so-called 'brothers and wives can't be bullied', I think you understand this truth."

"Humph......"

The spring scene in the garden is very good, Ye Qinyu looked at this long-lost grass and tree, the bits and pieces of the former prince and the princess couldn't help but come to her heart, she was immersed in the past, and she didn't pay attention to the conversation between Xue Chunyue and Liu Yi, just wandering alone in this garden.

Liu Yi circled his hands, looked at Ye Qinyu's back for a long time, and said softly, "The Xiao family's requirements, how long have you delayed?" ”

Xue Chunyue raised his eyebrows, "Although Brother Liu lives in the palace, he can't imagine that he is still very well-informed about things outside!" ”

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Changxing said that it's not a big deal, these rumors will soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and at that time, can you still hide it from her?"

Xue Chunyue's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't want to hide it from her, but I didn't find the right time......

"Xiao Hongming came prepared, his niece is the driving force behind Xiao Hongyi's re-emergence from the mountain, and the position of your wife is vacant, and the Xiao family has long been eyeing it."

According to the laws of the great cause, those who lose their wives for some reason can continue the strings, but they cannot correct the concubines, and Qinyu's identity is difficult to change in this life. After leaving with Yi'an, Xue Chunyue was legally celibate.

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "It is said that Xiao Jingyi, the third lady of the Xiao family, has already lived in the Duke Mansion of Chu State?" ”

"Hmm...... Xiao Hongyi sent someone to send her to Beijing, and she arrived a few days ago. ”

"And how long can you hide it?!"

"After Qinyu is a loyal minister, Your Majesty can't force her to ...... like this", Xue Chunyue clenched the railing, her nails pinched into the wooden railing, "The Ye family is loyal and gives permission to do their best for the imperial court, but yesterday's incident, how can Your Majesty turn around and leave no mercy on the people of the Ye family!" ”

Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "The world's thinnest affection, but the emperor's family." In the eyes of His Majesty, Qinyu is your concubine, your wife, she could have been Yi'an before, why can't she be Xiao Jingyi now? Actually, since you have already installed someone next to Your Majesty's pillow, why don't you blow the wind down your pillow? ”

"Liu Wu is a poor person, and I don't want to take advantage of her."

Liu Yi's eyes tightened, "I have a different opinion, you should instead teach her how to survive in the palace as soon as possible, otherwise, she will become a fish on the chopping board of a harem woman at some point." Since you have taken the first step, you must be responsible for others to the end! ”

Xue Chunyue was still silent, but there was a grim look on his face.

This spring wine was very enjoyable, and when Liu Yi was leaving, he specially asked Ah Fu to prepare a jar of wine for her that King Jing and the princess made last year.

A cup of chatting about life, this jar of wine, shows that Liu Yi has completely put it down.

Ye Qinyu hugged him reluctantly, for some reason, he always felt an ominous premonition in his heart, Liu Yi seemed to be saying goodbye to her......

In the court of spring, King Sheng was awarded the title of secretary of the military department and officially entered the court to participate in politics.

The tribes of the Central Guizhou Dao, after surviving the midwinter of the shortage of materials in Tuyuhun and Tubo, and recuperating and recuperating, are ready to move again, intending to send troops to invade the Central Guizhou Dao!

This time, the great cause wants to strike first and take the lead in sending troops!

The general who led the troops was no longer Wei Shaoqing, but King Jingjun, Liu Yi, who had participated in the battle in Qianzhong Dao!

No one knows when Emperor Hongyuan reached a consensus with Liu Yi, but it is certain that their uncle and nephew must have had a heart-to-heart conversation, otherwise, Emperor Hongyuan would not have assured that he would hand over his 100,000 army to the son of a rebel who once wanted to seize the throne.

Liu Yi is Xue Qingyan's only child, this time he went on the expedition, the sword has no eyes, if he has a case, how can he Liu Xun be worthy of the deceased Xue Qingyan? Therefore, before the expedition, Emperor Hongyuan specially assigned him a marriage, and then set off after the marriage, if God has eyes, it is better to leave a bloodline for Xue Qingyan.

Princess Jingjun was chosen by Liu Yi himself, and he seems to be down-to-heart, as long as she - Xiao Hongyi's daughter, the third lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Hongyi's daughter, beautiful and elegant, is quite famous in Jingnan Province, Liu Yi likes her, but she has some vision. Such a match made in heaven for talented and beautiful women, Emperor Hongyuan was very satisfied, and immediately approved the royal pen and Zhu Approval, and the marriage was completed seven days later.

This kind of marriage is simply sudden, not to mention the Xiao family, even Ye Qinyu, who is an outsider, was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Liu Yi once had a heart for Wei Zhiyu, although he never said it explicitly, but he and his childhood sweetheart, growing up together, his thoughts, can't hide from himself.

"Brother Yi, what do you mean?!" Ye Qinyu went straight to his study, pulled out Liu Yi, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, and asked questions directly.

"Men should get married, and women should get married, that's what it means."

"It's not her that you like! How long has Xiao Jingyi been back in Beijing? You don't even know what she looks like, don't tell me anything about love at first sight! ”

"Who is not married? What's more, the reputation of the Xiao family is growing, and the status is becoming more and more stable, and it is my honor for me, a lone son of the heavenly family, to climb such a gate valve family. ”

"But Zhiyu—"

"She never belonged to me!" Hearing this name, Liu Yi's emotions suddenly became a little excited, and he forcibly suppressed it for a long time before he eased up, staring at the gurgling drizzle outside the door and muttering to himself, "I don't know where she is...... The world is north and south, and there is nothing to do with it since...... Connection? Oh, I'm thinking too much, what can I do with her......"

Ye Qinyu's eyes suddenly dimmed, yes, the holy decree has been issued, what else can it do......

"It's too hasty to get married in seven days...... Brother Yi, I haven't even thought about what gift to give you......"

"You live your own little life, which is the best gift for me."

Ye Qinyi raised his head suddenly, Liu Yi seemed to have something to say, but he closed his eyes again, and this meaningless conversation ended appropriately.

Seven days later, the Jingjun Wangfu was full of joy, and outsiders always wanted to see what the look of the bride who had only been in Beijing for less than a month was pushed onto the sedan chair, shocked? Wailing? Or helpless? Either way, it won't be a shame. It's a pity that the bride's honor guard is very grand, layered on top of each other, either crowded or shadowy, and even the corners of the bride's clothes can't be seen a few times, let alone the appearance.

On the night of the wedding banquet, the groom official was not drunk, Xue Chunyue was rarely drunk, and he didn't want to leave after stumbling, and the groom official couldn't leave this brother-in-law and walked by himself, so the time of the good night in the cave room was delayed a lot, and in the end, it was the bride and the chamberlain who urged Liu Yi three times and asked him to go, and Xue Chunyue was reluctantly dragged home.

Spring nights are rainy, such nights should be the most suitable for sleep, but Xue Chunyue has been drinking tea and sobering up alone in the Huxin Pavilion since returning home, and he has been reluctant to go back to bed for a long time.

Ye Qinyu looked at his slightly lonely back, hesitated, picked up a coat, and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion step by step.

Just as he was about to put on his coat, he suddenly turned around, stared at her dark eyes and asked, "Qinyu, do you know where Wei Zhiyu is?" ”

She was slightly stunned, "Chunyue ......"

"Ci Zhun must know where she is, did he really never mention it to you?"

"Chunyue, this time, Uncle Xiao Zhun really doesn't know...... I have known him since I was a child, and I can tell which truth is and which is false......"

Xue Chunyue turned around, looked at Ye Qinyu fixedly by the slightly cool moonlight, and after a long time, slowly took her into his arms and hugged her deeply......
