The red lanterns under the eaves were covered with layers of falling snow, and the heavy snow flooded several red plum trees in the courtyard.

Ji Qianning, who was dressed in red, couldn't wait for Xuan Qi to say a word for a long time, and felt a little aggrieved in her heart, so she turned around and was about to push the door in.

At this moment, Xuan Qi stretched out his arm and propped it up to the door, blocking her way.

In front of him is his arm, behind him is his tall body, Ji Qianning is not in, nor can he retreat, turning his head to see his bottomless eyes staring at him tightly, still calm.

She could only stand in place, not daring to make any movements, shouting in her heart: "It's over, I'm really angry this time." She turned her head back and closed her eyes weakly.

Sensing that Xuan Qi leaned over, his face was close to the back of her head, Ji Qianning's right hand tightened and his left index finger pressed tightly against her body, her heart suddenly beat rapidly, and she felt a warm breath coming from her neck, her heart beat even more violently, and her face was a little hot.

"Ning'er." Another warm breath hit behind his ears, and Xuan Qi's magnetic voice had a hint of hoarseness, and a faint sadness could be heard in his tone.

"Hmm." A "um" word popped out of Ji Qianning's throat with difficulty.

"You said...... I'm your man. ”

"Me, is there?" Ji Qianning spoke a little stumbling.

There was a long silence......

"You really don't want to marry me?" Xuan Qi's hoarse voice sounded again.

Ji Qianning looked down at her toes slightly, and for a while, countless thoughts flashed in her heart, but she didn't know how to answer him. obviously loves him, why can't he give him a positive answer when he hears this sentence? What are you waiting for in your heart, and what are you afraid of?

That's it, she turned around slowly, the face was close in front of her, she saw through the expectation in his eyes and the sadness that she tried to hide, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in her heart.

Xuan Qi's face was as usual, staring at her eyes tightly, trying to find a trace of the expected answer in it, suddenly, he withdrew the arm holding the door, took two steps back, and bowed to Ji Qianning, with a serious and solemn face, the rock-solid words sounded in the snowy night, and the cry through the cold wind was even more firm: "I am willing to hire you as a wife with three media and six media, and the secretary of the first day is thoughtful."

"Qing?" Ji Qianning exclaimed, this affectionate title only between husband and wife, from Xuan Qi's mouth now, his face turned even redder, his face was like fire, and he looked shy and charming.

Xuan Qi kept hunched over, showing no signs of getting up, waiting for Ji Qianning to answer.

His tender eyes made Ji Qianning unable to refuse. Ji Qianning suddenly remembered the hand-sewn red dress that she burned a few years ago, and she had fantasized countless times about rolling up green silk, wearing a wedding dress, and marrying happily...... yes, what are she waiting for, isn't it just that she has been hurt once and is afraid of repeating the same mistakes again?

She saw the expectation in his eyes, and the past was swirling in front of her, thinking of what Xuan Qi had done for her, and suddenly strengthened her mind.

He always puts himself in the most important position in his heart, always takes care of her worries, always protects her well, no matter what he chooses, he respects himself, but does not disturb and silently guards behind him.

She likes to be at ease, and so is he; She doesn't like the restraints of etiquette and religion, and wants to live a life of wanton freedom, and so does he. What I want in this life is just to find a like-minded and like-minded person, Qin Se is in the palace, a couple for a lifetime, so, what should I hesitate about?

She suddenly remembered what her master said back then: "If Ah Ning and the world find someone to close, that is your destined beloved." To this day, she truly understands the meaning of this sentence.

Thinking of this, she slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and smiled like a flower: "I do."

Xu was too excited, Xuan Qi straightened up and forgot to withdraw his hand for a long time, he ignored the frost pain of his hands exposed outside his sleeves, a pair of eyes chased her closely, his eyes were a little moist, his eyes were wet because he was too excited and joyful, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, he forgot what to do for a while, and gradually laughed, getting bigger and bigger......

Two smiling flowers bloom in the snowy night......

……

Although the Shangyuan Festival in Yangcheng is not as lively as Jingdu and Biancheng, in previous years, there were still some lantern exhibitions in the city, and every household dressed up to go out and go to the street to enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles, but also had some fun. This year, the war is getting tighter and tighter, and the lantern festival was canceled on the night of Shangyuan, and the streets were desolate.

On the second day after the Shangyuan Festival, Ji Qianning and Xuan Qi bid farewell to everyone and rushed to Chiyan to visit the soon-to-be-born child of Princess Nangong Ning of Yong'an.

The family sent them to the outskirts of Yangcheng, and everyone was reluctant, especially Ji Qianmu, when she thought that her sister was going to leave her again, and she hadn't seen her for a long time, she couldn't hide her sadness and loneliness.

He earnestly told Ji Qianning over and over again that she should take care of herself outside, put away her temperament, don't be rash, and more importantly, protect herself and not be hurt in the slightest...... When he realized that a big man had become so verbose, he stopped talking.

He straightened the cloak on Ji Qianning's body, tightened the strap around his neck, and didn't want her to get cold, and then held her in his arms for a long time before he was reluctant to let go: "Ah Ning, it's okay, don't let my brother worry."

Ji Qianning nodded with red eyes: "Well, my brother should also take care." She tried to hold back her tears, afraid that she would cry out and make her brother even more sad.

Ji Qianmu turned around and stopped looking at her, raised his arm and brushed his hand, signaling them to hurry up.

Ji Qianning saluted a few people one by one, and a tear quickly slid down: "Uncle cherishes, sister-in-law cherishes, brother ......" She choked up, "Brother cherishes." After speaking, he didn't look back and boarded the carriage that Su Wei had already driven.

"Take care." After Xuan Qi said goodbye to several people, he followed Ji Qianning and boarded the carriage.

Ji Qianmu couldn't help it, quickly turned around, and shouted loudly to Xuan Qi, who was just about to lift the curtain: "Jun Fu, Ah Ning is entrusted to you, you must protect her for me."

Xuan Qi nodded to reassure him, and then lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

"Drive ......" Su Wei shouted, and the carriage slowly moved forward, disappearing from the sight of Ji Qianmu and the others after a while.

Ji Qianning leaned on the car window, watching the faces of her relatives gradually blur, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.

Xuan Qi felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

……

Back in the house, Chu Duxue saw her husband drinking stuffy tea alone, wanting to say something to him, several times she wanted to say something and stopped, this matter had been pressed in her heart for too long, after repeated thinking and deliberation, she made up her mind, her husband treated her so well, she couldn't be selfish, even if it would make him unhappy, she had to say it.

She lingered outside the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to walk in.

She sat opposite Ji Qianmu, clenched her hanging hands, and was still struggling in her heart, for a long time, when Ji Qianmu raised her eyes to look at her, she opened her mouth and said, "Husband, I have something to tell you."

Ji Qianmu looked at her with a smile, with some expectation: "What's the matter?"

Chu Duxue took a deep breath, raised her hands and stepped forward to gently hold the hand he put on the table, and she could have made her tone relaxed: "I found a woman to serve my husband, if my husband likes it, he can be accepted as a person in the room." God knows how hard it was for her to say that.

Since she said the first sentence, Ji Qianmu's face sank, and when he finished speaking, Ji Qianmu was so angry that he withdrew his hand suddenly, "Xue'er, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Husband." Chu Duxue shouted complainingly, "I can't let the Ji family have no queen." Speaking of this, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and the past suddenly came to her heart:

I vaguely remember that in May of that year, Daxin instigated the surrounding small countries to attack Daze, the situation was chaotic, for some reason, Daxin finally had no movement, pitiful of several small countries, one of which was annihilated by Daze, for a time, all the royal nobles of Shanguo became Daze slaves, and it was also at that time that she, the daughter of the nobles of Shanguo, spared Shi Duxue, as a slave, met Ji Qianmu for the first time.

There was not a trace of fear in her eyes when she saw him walking towards her, and her eyes were full of hatred, and that year, she was only fourteen years old, and unexpectedly, he was not annoyed by her eyes, but stared at her and laughed, and he smiled so brightly......

She clenched her fists and threw herself at him viciously, but as soon as he raised his hand, he knocked her to the ground, and so on again and again, and at last she lay on the ground and had no strength to get up, so he walked over and slowly lifted her up, drew his sword and put it in her hand, and said, "Go, and when you are strong enough, take this sword and seek revenge on me."

She instantly clenched the hilt of her sword, her expression was firm, and she turned away without hesitation, leaving him with a lonely back.

She later learned that at that time, he really wanted her to stay, but he knew that this was the only chance to save her, the king was in high spirits, he would not spare these royal nobles, and letting her go was the only choice.

Three months later, on his way to Jingdu after the restoration of Wangcheng, he met her who was being chased and killed. A few days ago, she was deceived into the land of fireworks, she was arrogant after all, and escaped by every possible means, that time, he saved her, but she did not have a trace of gratitude in her heart, leaving him with only indifferent eyes.

Five years later, she stood in front of him in a purple dress, holding the sword he once gave her, time has passed, she is no longer the little girl in the past, she has become a famous indifferent killer Xue Ji, this is their fate.

At that moment, he looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, he was unwilling, he didn't believe that fate would play tricks on the two so mercilessly.

That time, she stabbed him in the chest with a sword, and she looked at his affectionate eyes, and she didn't have the courage to stab again, threw away the sword, and ran away.

Later, she was hunted down by the "master" behind the scenes for failing to get rid of him, and he blocked the sword for her again and again, and even almost lost his life. In this way, her cold heart was gradually melted, she was not a ruthless person, but how could she let go of the hatred of the destruction of the country and the family?

Later, she learned a lot of things.

Later, she was seriously injured, standing in front of him and vomiting a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground, the moment she closed her eyes, she saw that his eyes were full of worry, and her heart was sour, she was wrong, he had worked hard to save her people from being slaves, he had blocked countless swords for her, such a man, but she always wanted to kill him, so that he was used by his real enemy, she should not be.

Two and a half months later, after recovering, she quietly left out of guilt, leaving not a word.

Everyone was happy, and a year later, he finally found her, and all the knots in his heart were untied at that moment.

Later, the two became relatives and spent a full moon.

Since then, there has been no killer Snow Ji on the rivers and lakes.

It's just that in the years when she was a killer, she was chased and killed by the enemy, stabbed in the abdomen with a sword, and although she picked up her life, she could no longer have children......

……

The two retracted their thoughts, and she suddenly choked up: "You and I have been married for several years, I regret it, I regret not being able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for you, I'm sorry ......" Speaking of this, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Ji Qianmu didn't feel good in her heart, so she quickly got up and sat beside her, and hugged her in her arms.

Chu Duxue tried her best to hold back her crying, clasped her hands on his arms, left his arms slightly, her reddened eyes met his eyes, and tried to smile and say to him: "I chose the person, that woman is gentle, virtuous, and even more commendable is that she has read a lot of books, she will definitely please her husband, and the most important thing is that she can give birth to a child for her husband......" Even if she smiled, tears flowed uncontrollably at the end.

Ji Qianmu gently wiped away her tears, hugged him in her arms again, and said tightly: "The Ji family never cares about this, and the husband doesn't care either, the husband only needs Xue'er to be enough, don't mention this matter in the future." He patted her on the back with a doting expression, "Husband only needs Xue'er." ”
