"That was probably my happiest time."

Looking at the dark night sky, I suddenly felt a little cool, a breeze blew, the paper on the square table was rustled by the wind, and goosebumps were all over my body, I tightened my collar and shrunk my hand into my sleeves, I don't know if it was because autumn had arrived, this year's autumn was colder than usual.

Nian Nian looked at me distressedly: "Did Miss remember what happened before?" Don't be sad, you still have me, I will always be with you! ”

After saying that, she got up and brought her cloak, and put it on for me gently.

He gave me this cloak and it was my favorite, and the moire of the golden thread was so vividly embroidered that it was like a cloud floating in the sky, and he said that he wished me all the best.

I know, Niannian treats me sincerely, genuinely thinks about me, treats me as a family, I have lost too much, and now only she is left, I don't want her to be sad.

"You go to sleep, I'll be alone for a while."

"Miss......"

"Go ahead."

Tomorrow is the day of his enthronement, and I know that he will not come looking for me again.

……

Changfeng eight years

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the national strength is prosperous, and occasionally small border countries come to attack.

The general Liu Rufeng was ordered to go to the border to quell the rebellion.

Eight years ago, a tyrant was in power, and the people were miserable. Yan Qianli was supported by the people, and his subordinate Liu Rufeng changed his life against the sky, overthrew the tyrant, and saved the people from fire and water.

Yan Qianli ascended to the throne in accordance with the people's wishes, and after ascending the throne, Yan Qianli reduced taxes and servitude, paid attention to the people's livelihood and people's hearts, and the people were grateful to Dade.

Later, the country name was changed to Changfeng, and the capital Lizhou was renamed Chang'an. It means long-term stability, peace in the world, and abundant harvests.

"Report! ……”

"Report! ……”

"Border Emergency, Border Emergency!"

"The general won a complete victory, returned triumphantly, and returned to Beijing in a few days!" The soldiers who delivered the newspaper were overjoyed, dismounted and galloped all the way, not daring to delay for a moment, only wanting to convey the good news to the palace.

"Good! Good! It is worthy of the general I personally selected, hahaha...... "On the dragon chair, the emperor slapped the table and got up, not very happy.

Although the emperor's face was full of smiles at this time, the king's spirit was still undiminished, the corners of his sleeves were blown by the wind, and the dragon dragon diagram on the dragon robe seemed to be alive, which made people feel awe.

He is worthy of being the person he trusts the most, doing things safely, and has never let him down.

"Okay!"

"Okay!" The ministers in the hall all looked happy and whispered.

"Tell me to go down and set up a banquet for General Liu to catch the wind and wash the dust......" The emperor waved his sleeves and was in a good mood.

"There is a play, nothing to retreat." The eunuch's voice was a little shrill and shrill.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down and saluted.

"I'll just say he's going to win, and you're going to have to bet with me......"

"I am willing to lose the bet, and I will send you to the house in a few days." After the next court, two people in official uniforms hid aside and whispered.

Liufu

"The master has returned with a letter from home, returned triumphantly, and will return to Beijing immediately!" The messenger was overjoyed and hurried to the main hall.

"Miss, Miss, the lord has a letter!" Nian Nian took my hand excitedly.

When I heard the news of my father's triumphant return, I got up and ran to the main hall, I missed my father very much, wondered if he was hurt, if he missed me.

"Miss, slow down, pay attention to your step......" Seeing my eagerness, Nian Nian was afraid that I would fall.

Niannian has followed me since she was a child, she looks white, the baby on her face is fat and cute, she is younger than me, and she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

Nian Nian is actually a hard-working child, who was sold to the house by his parents since he was a child, and grew up with me, where I am, she is there, and she is like a relative to me, always thinking about me.

"Give it to me, give it to me, I'll see if my father misses me!" I didn't see my father for more than a month, I missed it so much that I took the letter and opened it anxiously.

[I haven't seen you for many days, I miss my father very much, I hope everything is well, say hello to Yiyi and Wen Yue on my behalf, don't read it!] Although it is only a few words, the words reveal the meaning of missing relatives.

"I knew that my father would miss me, and I was going to tell my sister the good news and prepare a pen and paper for me." After reading my father's letter, I danced happily and wanted to tell my sister the news immediately, so that she could put her mind at ease.

"Okay, I'll go get it." Nian Nian is small, but he can run faster than me.

[My father returned triumphantly, and I will go home soon, and I hope that my sister will come home and get together-slightly.] Looking at the better and better handwriting, I really couldn't help but want to praise myself, and my sister must be happy to read it.

"Quick! Let's go and send it to my sister...... "Thinking about seeing my father and sister, my mood is like a deer running on the grassland, very happy.

As soon as I finished writing the letter, I got someone to clean up my sister and father's room, and I had to keep their room clean.

My mother died early, I don't have the impression of my mother, I have only seen her in paintings, she is very beautiful, very much like my sister.

Since I was a child, my father has doted on my sister and me, never forced us to do things we don't like, as long as we want, my father will try his best to satisfy us, we all love my father.

Since I was a child, the person I envied the most was my sister, she was extremely beautiful, her skin was like condensed, her face was exquisite, her fingers were slender and slender, and her body was graceful, and she was one of the best beauties in Chang'an City. He has a gentle and considerate personality, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has been my role model since he was a child. Even my father used to say that she was more like her mother and that I was more like him.

Two years ago, Wen Yue, the son of the prime minister, came to the house to ask for marriage, and her sister got married. Wen Yue is very good-looking, handsome, mild-tempered, and full of poetry and books, everyone says that they are a match made in heaven.

My sister and Wen Yue are in love, I am very happy, my sister married someone who likes herself and likes herself.

The next morning, when the sun had just risen, my sister hurried back home, and on the way here, she didn't forget to bring me my favorite chestnut cake since I was a child.

"Sister, I miss you so much! I've rarely seen you since you got married. "I miss my sister so much that I rushed up and hugged my sister and coquettished her.

"Alright! All right! Look what good food I've brought you! My sister touched my head dotingly and handed me the chestnut cake.

"Wow! Chestnut cake yes! It's still my sister who is the best for me. I rushed up and kissed my sister, who pushed me away with a look of disgust.

"It's not like everybody at all......" she quipped.

"What's so good about being everyone's lady, my father said, as long as I'm happy, I can do anything." I looked at my father with a proud face, I was still too willful at that time.

I know, although my sister always tells me to be quiet, there is a girl's appearance, not like everyone is beautiful, how can there be a girl who jumps every day and doesn't learn well. But in her heart, no matter what I am, I am her most distressed sister, and she only wants me to be happy every day.

It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, my sister has loved me since she was a child, and she always takes me wherever she goes, she always says that I am her little heel, in this case, Nian Nian is also my little heel.

"Sister, I'm going to sleep with you tonight." Girls, there are always a lot of whispers to say, and I have saved up a lot of things to tell my sister.

"Good!" My sister is still as warm as the spring breeze, she touched my face, and her smile was like a flower.

Outside the towering gate of Chang'an, the emperor and his ministers waited anxiously and excitedly for Liu Rufeng's return outside the gate to wash the dust for him.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"yes!"

For some reason, the returning team came a little slowly, and the people waiting began to be a little impetuous and anxious.

"Your Majesty, let's go and rest first, let's wait here." The ministers were afraid that the emperor would not be able to stand the scorching sun, so they were a little worried.

"When Liu Qing and I were on the battlefield, how could I have been afraid of the scorching sun." The emperor recalled the high-spirited days of the year, and couldn't help but straighten his shoulders.

The army came slowly from a distance with a neat pace. Looking from afar, the emperor did not see Liu Rufeng's figure, only a sedan chair, in front of the team, and the morale was a little low.

After the army approached, the soldier who led the team had a solemn expression and ran forward and said: "Your Majesty, on the way back to the city, the army encountered an assassin who committed an attack, and the spearhead was pointed at the general, who was wounded by a poisoned arrow and is in danger!" ”

"Quick! Send him back to the house, and let all the imperial doctors rush to Liufu immediately. The Emperor said anxiously.

Liufu

My sister and I waited outside the door early in the morning. My sister's nervous hands clenched as she walked up and down the door, and I knew that she wanted to see my father as soon as I did.

Suddenly, I saw a carriage coming, and the people who followed him were solemn, and my sister and I walked forward, only to see the people in the carriage carrying my father down and immediately rushing home.

"The general is wounded, quick! Get out of the way! The soldier rushed in with his father on his back. My sister and I followed.

"Father's ......"

"Daddy......"

"Woo......, what's wrong with you, daddy, don't scare me." I knelt in front of the bed and cried, and I wasn't in the mood to think about anything else.

"What happened to my father? Didn't it say a triumphant return? The letter didn't say that he was injured? My sister asked. My sister knows that she needs to be calm at this time, and my father and I need her care.

"The general was assassinated on the way back and was seriously wounded, and now the imperial doctor is on his way here, please don't worry." Although the soldier replied that he was not in a hurry, he was also very anxious in his heart, and kept looking out of the door.

Soon after, the Imperial Physician arrived, and I hurriedly pulled one to my father's bedside and begged them to save him: "Please, save your father, please ......."

"The two girls mourned, the general was too seriously injured, and his body was highly poisonous, and the road back was too bumpy, which accelerated the spread of the poison, and he really couldn't go back." The Imperial Physician lowered his head and sighed, accustomed to seeing life and death, the Imperial Physician just felt a pity, and did not have too many other emotions.

After hearing the words of the Imperial Doctor, my head buzzed, blank, and I didn't know anything but crying vigorously.

"How could it be...... Father ......" My sister fell to the edge of the bed and knelt down, holding her father's hand tightly, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Sister...... "I leaned towards my sister in fear, not knowing what to do.

My father is gone, my sister is married, and from then on, I was the only one left in the family......
