Xu Yanjun said to Liu Yi: "His Royal Highness King Yi, I advise you not to come in the future." If you get caught, it's not good for you, and it's not good for me. ”

Liu Yi didn't listen to her, just grabbed the door, and the black shadow jumped over the not too high wall with a slight leap and disappeared into Xu Yanjun's field of vision.

And Liu Yi didn't give up when he heard Xu Yanjun's words. Every night, she is painting a small portrait of Xu Yanjun, sometimes she is dancing with a sword, sometimes she is reading a book, sometimes she is holding a bow and arrow and preparing to shoot at a deer, and sometimes she is lingering among the flowers. All this is Xu Yanjun in Liu Yi's mind, and Xu Yanjun is portrayed in his mind according to his understanding of Xu Yanjun.

Sometimes at night, when there was no one around, Liu Yi, who was wearing a dark night suit, climbed over the wall and looked at Xu Yanjun, he knew that Xu Yanjun was entangled, and he didn't want Xu Yanjun to do this. So he stood on the wall and looked at Xu Yanjun, just look at her, no matter what she was doing.

And sometimes in the quiet of the night, Xu Yanjun was fine, so he looked out the window. In the vast night sky, the jade bow hangs high, the stars twinkle, and sometimes a warm wind blows. And she seemed to see Liu Yi in the distance, and she felt that it should be an illusion.

She gradually doubted whether she liked Liu Yi, but she really didn't understand her mind, whether she liked it or not.

Xu Yanjun, who has been raised as a boy since she was a child, doesn't know what love and love are, so she went to ask her little sister Yu Shubi, who had a good relationship in Chu's mansion, and hoped that she could give herself an answer.

On that day, she sat on a small stool next to the piano table and played the piano, and after plucking the last string, the sound of the piano echoed in the room.

Xu Yanjun sat next to her, looked at her, held his head in his hand and said, "You say, if you keep thinking of a person in your mind, like the smoke in the house where incense is burned, what is it?" ”

When she heard Xu Yanjun's words, she first covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed for a while, before she said, "Ah! You're a girl, aren't you? ”

Xu Yanjun didn't understand what Yu Shubi meant by Huaichun, so he asked her: "Huaichun?" What is Huaichun? I don't understand. ”

Yu Shubi knew that Xu Yanjun's ignorance was not pretending, because Xu Yanjun had just reached the age of being sensible, and his mother went, and the rest of the days were lived together in Xu Bangchang on the northwest border. So Yu Shubi patiently explained: "Huaichun, it is at this age that I have admiration for the opposite sex, and it can also be said that I like it." ”

After hearing this, Xu Yanjun nodded thoughtfully and responded, "Ah...... I see. ”

Yu Shubi seemed to notice that Xu Yanjun was wrong, so she teased Xu Yanjun and said: "Silly girl, you don't even tell me when you have a lover!" It's so infuriating, I still treat you as a good sister, and I will tell you everything. After saying that, he pouted and pretended to be angry.

Xu Yanjun thought that Yu Shubi was angry, so he went to coax her and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to do this." ”

Yu Shubi said, "Then you don't tell me yet!" ”

So Xu Yanjun asked Yu Shubi to retreat, and only the two of them were left in the originally huge room, Xu Yanjun slowly told Yu Shubi about himself and Liu Yi, starting from the first time in the northwest border competition, to the thrilling journey of the royal autumn hunt later, and then to Liu Yi coming over the wall to see her late at night some time ago, and the things were all said one by one.

After listening to it, Yu Shubi inadvertently exclaimed: "Your story is really interesting, and you may not dare to write it like this in the playbook." ”

Compared with Xuan Shubi, Xu Yanjun was a little sad, because she really didn't understand what that emotion was, so she supported her head with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand gently tapped the table, and said, "However, I really don't know whether I like him or not." ”

Yu Shubi looked at the stupid Xu Yanjun, smiled, and then said, "If you really don't like him, how can you care about the quality of his exit." If you really don't like it, even if he dies for you, you won't even frown. Silly girl, you like His Royal Highness King Yi, I can hear it. ”

Xu Yanjun was still a little incredulous, and asked, "This is really like?" Isn't it something on the side? ”

Yu Shubi confirmed Xu Yanjun again: "You like His Royal Highness King Yi, in the books I have read, the women who are emotional are like you, thinking about each other every day." ”

After listening to Yu Shubi's words, Xu Yanjun took a reassuring pill.

It turned out that he was really emotional about Liu Yi.

In the calm and windless night, she was alone in the room, sitting quietly at the table, holding the wick with her hands, intentionally or unintentionally, if Liu Yi didn't say anything like that night, would Liu Yi still come to her. Now she regrets it a little, regrets that she understood too late, and regrets that she was too wooden about her feelings.

Suddenly, the door squeaked open, and it was Liu Yi, who she had been thinking about day and night, and Liu Yi was still holding a wooden box in his hand, about the size of a book and half a foot high.

Xu Yanjun was a little surprised at first, then a little happy, and his expression was a little hesitant.

Liu Yi put the wooden box in his hand on the table, opened the box, and slowly there were small statues inside.

Xu Yanjun picked up the small statues in the box and flipped them over one by one. Those small statues are all painted by her, some are picking up lamps, some are dancing swords, some are holding bows and shooting deer, some are sitting quietly under the big trees, some are embroidering, and there are all kinds of things. Although there are so many of them, each one is drawn so carefully that you can see even the hair clearly.

Liu Yi stood there and said, "These are the small portraits I painted when I missed you, but I didn't know there were so many." I really miss you today, but I found that this box can no longer hold a small statue, so I dared to come to see you, I hope you don't get angry because of my recklessness. ”

Originally, when she was still looking at the small statue, Xu Yanjun was a little moved, but now when she heard Liu Yi say this, tears actually burst out of her eyes, she didn't know it herself, knowing that the tears were wet with the little statue, she found out that she was crying.

She has suffered with her father on the northwest border all these years, and she has never shed a single tear, but now because of Liu Yi, her tears are hazy.

Xu Yanjun put down the statue, walked over and hugged Liu Yi, crying and saying, "Actually, I like you, but I don't know it myself." Since I was sensible, my mother went, and I lived with my father since I was a child, and there were no sisters at home, only one younger brother. So I don't know much about emotional matters. I shouldn't have said that to you that day, and I regret it now. ”

Liu Yi also hugged Xu Yanjun, comforted her and said: "I didn't blame you for that incident, but I was afraid that you would annoy me even more, so I didn't come." Don't cry, I will definitely marry you as my princess. I won't marry anyone but you, even if I'm lonely and old. ”

Xu Yanjun listened to Liu Yi's words, and cried even more fiercely in Liu Yi's arms, some of which were silent, Liu Yi stroked her back, gave her a smooth breath, and said: "A few days ago, General Xu went to the fold, saying that he asked to return to Beijing, and his father agreed. In a few days, General Xu should arrive in Yanjing. When General Xu arrives, I will definitely bring the most generous dowry and personally come to the door to ask General Xu for marriage. ”

A few days later, Xu Bangchang arrived in Yanjing, Xu Yanjun also moved back to Xufu from Chufu, and her younger brother Xu Changjun also returned with his father.

On the night Xu Bangchang first arrived in Yanjing, Xu's mansion prepared a table of good dishes, and the father and son ate very happily.

Xu Yanjun was entangled in when to tell her father about Liu Yi, and after struggling for a while, she was finally ready to speak, and said: "Father, His Royal Highness King Yi will come to propose marriage in a few days, and my daughter hopes that you can agree to this marriage." ”

Xu Bangchang was a little surprised, he didn't know why Liu Yi and Liu Jing brothers had taken a fancy to their daughters, if it was for their party's power to be used by them, they could have found their best friend Chu Youdao.

Xu Bangchang frowned, took a glass of wine and took a drink, and said, "Yanjun, are you serious?" ”

Xu Changjun on the side was also a little incredulous, and asked, "Sister, do you really want to marry His Royal Highness King Yi?" ”

Xu Yanjun nodded and said, "I am a person of His Royal Highness King Yi in my life, and I am a ghost of His Royal Highness King Yi in death." ”

Seeing that his daughter was so resolute, Xu Bangchang also responded to Liu Yi's request a few days later, and now Xu Bangchang was classified into Liu Yi's faction by default.

Liu Yi was also forced to a dead end, because if Liu Jing took the position, he would never let Liu Yi go easily, so Liu Yi thought about fighting for himself and the Xu family.

On the second day, Liu Yi woke up from a dream, and Concubine Li next to him was still lying asleep, he didn't let the attendant wake up Concubine Li, so he let her fall asleep and fell asleep quietly.

In the afternoon, Liu Yi ordered the eunuch to send a bow and arrow, which was brought from the Chu State. When Concubine Li saw the workmanship of the bow and arrow, she knew that it belonged to the Chu State, because the wood used to make the arrow arm was unique to the Chu State, so she ordered the maid to clean up a shelf and place the bow and arrow specifically.

Early one morning, Xu Yuanyuan had just finished eating in the Xu family's compound and was about to rush to Miaoyin Pavilion, because there was her field in the morning.

It was still early in the morning, and there were few people on the street, and a few finches were pecking at the scraps of some vegetable leaves on the ground, and a few finches were crying happily in the branches.

Xu walked briskly, and she vaguely felt that there was a man following her behind her. She turned her head, but there was nothing. But she was still a little uneasy.

After walking for dozens of steps, Xu Yuan quickly turned his head without warning and saw that there were indeed people, but they were all hawkers, and there were no suspicious people.

She was a little strange, muttering in her heart whether she was suspicious of the mistake. She wasn't as careful as she had been.

There is a secluded alley near the Huichun Hall, there are usually no people, but it is the only way from the Xu family compound to the Miaoyin Pavilion, Xu Yuanyuan walks from here every day, but there is no mistake.

But today was different from the past, and I was about to reach the mouth of the alley, and I only heard footsteps approaching behind me, walking faster and faster, getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, a person rushed up from behind, grabbed Xu Yuanyuan's hand hard, and wanted to drag Xu Yuanyuan into the alley. However, Xu Yuan's strength is not as great as that man. Just like that, Xu was dragged into the alley.
