The sky was overcast, and the advancing army slowly disappeared into a cloud of mist.

It wasn't until she disappeared that Ji Qianning reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on the tip of her nose, and when she raised her eyes, she saw raindrops floating in the gloomy sky.

Under the urging of Changle, the three of them lifted their skirts and hurriedly went down to the city tower, the rain became heavier and heavier, and they vaguely heard the people in the distance shouting happily: "The spring rain is as precious as oil, a good omen, a good omen......

After a while, the rain was like beads with broken threads, although it was not as fast as the summer rain, but it still wet the hair and skirts of the three of them.

Princess Yong'an's maid Qingzhu and Princess Changle's maid rushed to the city tower to put on umbrellas for their sons with oil-paper umbrellas in their hands, and then quickly took out Jinpa, carefully wiping the rain on their faces and bodies.

Only Ji Qianning covered the top of her head with loose sleeves to shield herself from the rain, the water slid down her sleeves, dripping on her hair and placket, and more than half of her body was drenched. ”

Yongan suddenly turned around to look for Ji Qianning, saw this scene, saw her embarrassed appearance in the rain, couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stopped the action of Qingzhu wiping, snatched the unopened umbrella in her hand, held it up while walking, quickly ran over and hit the top of Ji Qianning's head, took out the Jinpa he carried and hurriedly wiped the raindrops on her head and face, and her eyes were full of worry: "Don't catch a cold." ”

Ji Qianning shook her head with a smirk, with a happy face: "No." ”

Yongan also looked at her with a smile, and the two suddenly remembered their time in Daze, just like today, she was always the first to rush in front of her, always worrying about her and protecting her......

Things have changed, and it turns out that they have never changed......

"Don't stand stupid anymore, get into the carriage." Changle's voice remembered behind the two, so the two of them held hands and held an umbrella together, and quickly boarded the carriage behind Changle.

Ji Qianning did not return to Lingwang's Mansion, but went to Baifu with Yong'an, drenched in the rain, in order to avoid his master from getting cold, Qingzhu ordered someone to boil hot water, and then called someone to serve the princess and Ji Qianning to bathe and change clothes.

After bathing, Ji Qianning changed into a purple Luo skirt of Yong'an, and when the maid finished dressing her up, she went to the bedroom to find Yong'an.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yongan sitting next to the desk, one hand on the jade cup, and he didn't move for a long time, just quietly in a daze.

Ji Qianning walked over, but she didn't notice it.

"What do you think?" Ji Qianning stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

The sudden sound startled Yong'an, her hand shook unexpectedly, knocked over the tea, and then explained in a panic: "It's nothing, it's nothing......"

Qingzhu on the side immediately took a cloth towel and prepared to wipe the water traces on the case. Seeing this, Ji Qianning stopped her, took the cloth towel in her hand, and whispered: "I'll clean up, go down!" ”

Qingzhu was a little surprised, suddenly opened her eyes wide, raised her head and glanced at Yong'an, and when she saw her master nodding, she left without any scruples: "The slave and maid are retired." ”

Ji Qianning stepped forward and slowly squatted down, gently wiped the tea on the table, put the cloth towel aside, sat next to Yong'an, picked up the two teacups again, and added tea for her and herself.

"Lan'er, I've been in a trance recently, what's going on?" Ji Qianning put the teacup in front of Yong'an and asked.

Yongan smiled at her: "Don't worry, it's really fine." ”

Ji Qianning grabbed her hand and touched her eyebrows: "These few times, I have seen your strong smile and laughter in my eyes, I don't want you to wronged yourself, you still have me, if anything happens, I can share your worries for you, say it, don't hold it in your heart alone." ”

Yong'an's eyes were a little moist, all the grievances of these days seemed to explode at this moment, although he held back his tears, his voice was still a little choked: "There is someone in the general's heart." ”

Ji Qianning guessed that their relationship might not be compatible, but she didn't think in this direction, and when she heard it from Yong'an's mouth, she was shocked.

Expecting Ji Qianning to have such a reaction, Yongan smiled self-deprecatingly, and gently rubbed the teacup back and forth very unnaturally, his eyes were gloomy, and then he slowly spoke: "I have loved generals since I was a child, but at that time, I was humble and felt that I was not worthy of him, so I quietly hid this thought." One day, I became this princess, with thousands of glory, when I heard about the marriage with Chiyan, I begged the prince to skip the prince of the Sheng'an Palace, and directly chose him, that gentle, honorable and humble gentleman, I can finally be worthy. At this point, there was a sudden light in her eyes.

"To like is to like, if you like someone, you should try to be with him, why let birth be an obstacle between the two?" Ji Qianning was unhappy in her heart.

"Miss, you were born superiorly, since you were a child, you enjoy thousands of favors, such as the morning sun always hangs above the sky, such a life gives you endless self-confidence, you can bravely pursue what you like, recklessly, only follow your own inner needs. And those of us who come out of the mud, in addition to inferiority complex in our hearts, are cowardice, afraid of rejection, and even more afraid of loss, so what courage do we have to boldly pursue our own happiness? ”

"Lan'er ......" Hearing these words, Ji Qianning's heart was a little throbbing, she always observed the world from her own standpoint, but she forgot that everyone's circumstances are different, she hated the ruler who made the rules of this world for a while, why should the world be divided into three, six, nine and so on, why should there be classes and gates?

An apologetic look appeared on Yong'an's face: "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”

Ji Qianning shook her head, looking worried.

Yongan barely squeezed out a smile, and continued: "I am full of joy to marry him, the night of the candles in the cave room, such a beautiful day, but he is drunk, never as elegant as before, in a drunken dream, he took my hand and called out another woman's name." Saying this, her heart ached, and a line of tears slid down her cheeks, "Since I am married to him, then I will treat him sincerely, thinking that over time, I can always warm his heart, these are not enough to hurt me, what really hurts my heart is...... It was he who stayed in the study every day under the pretext of staying in the study, and so far, he has never ......"

Before the latter words were spoken, Ji Qianning already understood in her heart, no wonder Changle looked so unnatural when she said those words on the city tower.

The more she listened, the more worried she became, and even a little angry: "Brother Yi is so confused, don't worry, I'll go to him and talk to him." After Ji Qianning finished speaking, she stood up hurriedly.

Yongan grabbed her and shook his head: "I don't want you to get involved, so as not to be in a dilemma, and, apart from this, he treats me very well, I don't want him to know about it, and I don't want to embarrass each other." ”

Ji Qianning leaned down and said softly, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Yongan pulled her to sit down, wiped away her tears, and smiled bitterly: "After saying this, my heart is much more comfortable, perhaps, what I need between him and me is time." ”

Ji Qianning sighed helplessly, perhaps, everyone has their own way of loving others!

"Promise me that you will not let yourself be wronged in the future."

"Hmm."

"By the way, when you came, why didn't you see Brother Yi in the house?" In order to break the dull atmosphere, Ji Qianning suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Bai Zixue for a long time, so she asked.

"You forgot, King Ling went on an expedition, and the general was ordered to guard the royal city, this will, it should be in the defense!"

Ji Qianning patted her head: "Look at my memory." She suddenly glanced out the window and frowned, "It's hard to rain so hard." ”

Yongan also looked out the window, only to see that the sky was gradually sinking, but the rain did not become lighter, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately called Qingzhu to come: "Quickly go and inquire when the general will return home." ”

Qingzhu replied respectfully: "Princess, Bai Yang has just returned to the house, and the slave has already inquired with him, the army is busy with things, and the general is afraid that he will come back very late." ”

"In this way, quickly go and order the dining room to prepare the general's favorite food on weekdays, and send it to him later, and by the way, let people explore the specific location of the general."

When Qingzhu took the order to retreat, Ji Qianning was puzzled: "This is?" ”

"Such a heavy rain, I am afraid that he is tired and hungry, I will personally send it to him after a while, I think about it, and my heart is clear, since I love someone, why care about the result, I love him in my way, even if he has no self in his heart, it doesn't matter, I believe that over time, I will have a place in his heart." Yongan suddenly laughed.

I love you, it's my business, what does it have to do with you? Ji Qianning pondered this sentence in her heart over and over again, she wondered in her heart, two people together, shouldn't be two lovers, since he knows that he has no self in his heart, why not abandon each other? But she never figured it out.

"I'll go with you." Ji Qianning suddenly said to Yong'an.

Yongan nodded at her gratefully, she was alone, and she was a little embarrassed after all.

After a while, the dining room was ready to eat, Yongan quickly picked up the food box, pulled up Ji Qianning and walked outside the house, she was afraid that after a long time, the food would be cold, and the general would have a cold stomach after eating.

Qingzhu had already prepared the carriage, and the three of them got into the carriage, plus a groom who drove the carriage, and rushed to the north of the city.

The little guy in the mansion has already returned, and the general is deploying in the north of the city.

The rain is still unabated, the sky is about to darken, some portals have already been lit, and through the rain curtain, I can vaguely see a few dim yellows.

The carriage finally stopped, and several people got out of the car with umbrellas, Yongan asked Qingzhu to inquire about the specific location of Bai Yi from the soldiers patrolling back and forth in front, and picked up the food box and walked quickly, ignoring the strong wind blowing the oblique umbrella and wetting a large piece of Luo skirt.

The white walls and green tiles, from time to time there are budding branches sticking out of the wall, and the long and lonely rain alley paved with bluestone is a little more lively because of the soldiers coming and going, the black military flag on the mast and the love in eternal peace of mind. After walking through a few street corners, I finally wanted to see Bai Yi, thinking about it, this was the first time in this period of time that I was so active, and I was nervous for a while, so I could only hold on to the food box tightly.

Near, closer...... Just go around this street corner...... Suddenly, she saw the white sun on the corner of the street, and her heart was even more excited.

Bai Yang also saw Yong'an, he looked at the food box in her hand, and immediately understood Madame's intention, he glanced back at his back, his expression was nervous, and he hurriedly saluted Yong'an: "Madame is fine." ”

"Ah Yang, is the general here?" Yongan asked happily.

Bai Yang's expression was even more nervous, and he said in a hurry: "Yes, but it's ......"

When Yongan heard the word "yes", she didn't care about anything else, and walked forward quickly, she was afraid that she would be too late to eat more cold.

By the time Bai Yang wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

After turning the corner of the street for less than two steps, Yong'an suddenly stopped, let go of his hand, and the food box fell on the bluestone slab and splashed a few splashes, the lid of the box was overturned, the jade plate porcelain bowl was broken, and the food was scattered all over the ground, a mess. The umbrella slowly slid down, letting the rain fall on her face and body.

Bai Yang behind him looked remorseful.
