Zhan Nian's heart was beating fast, to be precise, it was beating wildly. It's like a traveler in the desert who is about to die of thirst, knowing that it is a mirage but still can't stop chasing and exploring. There was only one peasant girl on that small boat, and he still did not give up, and chased the big boat all the way to the waters under the jurisdiction of Nangan. When he wanted to go further, he was stopped by an official ship, and the flag fluttering on the official ship had a big "Qian" written on it.

Lian Jing, the prince of Changping, had been waiting here for a long time, and he slowly walked up to the deck, deliberately standing in the closest place to the Beiluo official ship, he wanted to see it more clearly.

The young man who was the leader was dressed in black brocade and wore a dragon and phoenix golden crown was the queen of Beiluo, and her husband didn't look very old, but he was unruly, especially those eyes, which were as deep as a pool but nothing was tolerated. Lian Jing thought to himself: Hmph, it's really a family, the same indispensable, the same annoying

He suppressed the disdain in his heart, and shouted over there: "Who is coming, this is the Nangan waters, and the trespassers don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow whizzed past his ears and nailed straight to the mast of the ship. Lian Jing was shocked and angry in his heart, but he saw that Queen Nazhan leisurely took the bow and arrow and said to him: "Warn you, be careful when you speak, I don't care which family you are."

Until Beiluo's ship went far away, even Jing did not recover from his anger. Gradually, anger was replaced by humiliation, just a queen was so arrogant, how domineering the former Empress of Beiluo should be

Long after leaving the waters of Nangan, looking at the vast river, Zhan Nian was still recalling the vague figure of the world's independence, and muttered in his heart: Is it his own illusion

For several months, he sent troops to search in this water area every day, and it was not for nothing, once it was a wrench engraved with the Jin clan emblem, once it was a golden crown symbolizing the supreme royal power, and once it was a jade plaque carved by his own hands.

For every piece he found, his heart died.

He stubbornly did not mourn and did not pass on the throne, he forced everyone to believe that Her Majesty the Empress would definitely return, but in fact, he himself could not wait.

Looking back at Nan Qian, Zhan Nian was a little curious for the first time, she was gone, what was the mood of that person

I still remember that he sent a pair of tourmaline collars when he was 100 days old, and a pair of words when he and Ayan got married, and the words "A hundred years of good union, eternal marriage" are the best words he has ever seen

By the way, I heard that Nan Qian is about to be elected, and he is going to get married. Do you want to go see him and give him a congratulatory gift?

Luo Yan, who was called "Bahu", was clutched like a little lamb at this time.

She protested again, "It's been a long time, haven't you been tired of holding me all the time?"

"How could I, a weak woman who was powerless, escape"

Ying Qi was unmoved, his heart was still undecided. It's too dangerous, just a little bit away, she's going to run away, and if it's a little bit late, she'll never be found again

He chased her all night, and the moment he saw her again, his heart was filled with joy and anger. He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, and then reprimanded her: How can he be so willful, how can he be so ruthless and leave him again

But he couldn't, this complex and indescribable state of mind could only be experienced by himself

Yes, there's no reason to even complain to her. Therefore, looking at her with a look of grievance and innocence, Ying Qi could only reply like this: "I don't believe you anymore, if I don't chase fast, you will run to the ends of the earth, and at that time, who will pay me back 1,000 taels of silver"

"I didn't want to repay the debt, I wrote all the secret recipes to you, and I put them in the snacks I sent you tomorrow." Luo Yan cautiously argued, after all, she didn't know if the secret recipe was enough to pay off the debt.

Sure enough, Ying Qi snorted heavily, and wanted to draw a line with him with a piece of paper, isn't it too cheap You asked Luo Yan indignantly, "Do you think, is that piece of paper enough to pay it back?"

Luo Yan's heart is getting more and more weak, she really hasn't done this kind of thing if she doesn't repay her debts, and now she is being caught, which is really a bit embarrassing.

It's just that

Luo Yan muttered in a low voice: "Then you don't have to, so much to stir up the people, it seems that I have made a big mistake, so many people are watching, don't I want to be ashamed?"

At this time, he actually wanted to face Yingqi's heart was very aggrieved, he reached out and pinched the white and tender face, with a little force, and when his hand left, there were red marks, so the grievance in his heart became distressed.

He rubbed his fingertips lightly, trying to erase the red mark, but Luo Yan waved his hand away very unceremoniously, unhappy.

"Don't move, I just owe you money, and I don't owe you anyone"

"When I go back, I will raise all the silver taels for you, we will not owe each other in the future, if you dare to stop me again, I will not be so obedient"

Unexpectedly, he still had to leave, Ying Qi's mood suddenly became heavy, and he asked sullenly: "I heard that you are a show girl who was sent, why do you still want to leave, is it not good to enter the palace?"

"No comment"

The relationship between the two of them is just an ordinary debt relationship, far from the point of having nothing to say, such a secret thing, Luo Yan naturally would not say it, so he refused concisely.

"If you say it, you will be exempted from 500 taels."

Ying Qi's conditions were very tempting, and immediately attracted Luo Yanjiong's bright eyes, and she secretly thought to herself in her heart: I am a chivalrous man who wants to roam the rivers and lakes, how can I be bound by these worldly things

After finding the steps for himself, Luo Yan cleared his throat and said indifferently: "I'm not perfect, I don't want to cause trouble for the Hou Mansion, and I want to live a few more years."

After thinking about it for a long time, Ying Qi would never have thought that it would be such a reason, his face became very strange, how can he say this

He also cleared his throat and replied indifferently: "I heard that the Southern Emperor himself was also married, and he is not a perfect body, so what reason is there to ask others to be a perfect body?"

Luo Yan's eyes widened, can it be like this, but it seems to make sense, such a different statement is very interesting. When he looked at Ying Qi again, he suddenly felt that he was so pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, what's your name" Luo Yan smiled slightly and said happily.

The awkwardness between them has been so far, this smile is the most sincere, Ying Qi also replied with the same smile, and said softly, "My name is Ying Qi." ”

This sentence seems to go back to the spring of that year, the spring they first met.

I still remember that under the colorful tree falling, she surrounded herself with her eyes full of anticipation, just wanting to know a name, Tsundere as he deliberately left the seal on the ground, and still unforgettable the shock

Xi shining, cheering as if he had obtained the treasure of the world, at that time, even a name was the treasure in her heart

Every time I think of this, Ying Qi can't help myself. If it wasn't easy to get, how could you give up easily; If it's not too beautiful, how can it be unforgettable; If you don't lose it completely, how can it hurt your heart and spleen.

He never felt that he was doing all this right, but even if it was a big mistake, he would choose to make a mistake to the end

Ying Qi looked at Luo Yan and took the initiative to explain: "Do you know, Qi means the beginning, the beginning of all things, and the beginning of all thoughts. ”

Looking at Luo Yan's sudden realization, he silently added another sentence in his heart, "It's our beginning." ”

After returning to Biqing Courtyard, Luo Yan was very conflicted. She had no intention of running for election, but after returning to this small courtyard, she was still an orphan girl who couldn't help herself.

She knew that the prince Lian Jing and Mrs. Hou Zhou had a very fierce quarrel, and everyone in the house knew about it. She felt guilty and wanted to explain, but she ran into Lian Jing at the door of Yuexiu Courtyard.

There were very few words between them, especially after that incident, and they didn't even see each other for more than a month.

Lian Jing stood in front of Luo Yan, her face was still not very good, but she said a lot of words patiently to her for the first time.

"You were brought back by me, you have nothing to do with her, why don't you tell me something"

"Don't go to her, don't go to her in the future, she's not what you see"

"Entering the palace is your destination"

"There are some things you don't know now, but one day you'll understand that now is the best arrangement."

Ming Zheng Palace

The night was already deep, and the sleepy eyelids of the prince standing on the side were fighting, but Ying Qi was still reading at night.

This is an excerpt about the border trade dispute between Nanqian and Beiluo, and if you look closely, there is still dust that has not been dusted off on it.

After a long time, Ying Qi opened his mouth to summon, and the prince thought that he was finally ready to rest, but unexpectedly let him announce Liu Shilang into the palace. The prince hesitated in his heart, but now he looked at His Majesty and walked out of the hall without looking up and not wanting to explain.

After a pillar of incense, Liu Shilang hurried over with a sweat, the door was closed, and the prince stood at the door guarding that no one was allowed to enter. It was another time for a pillar of incense, and Liu Shilang came out with a sigh of relief, and muttered in his mouth: Is this what he understands His excerpt was shelved for a few months, and he suddenly restated what his true intention was

A few days later, a very bad border trade dispute broke out between Nanqian and Beiluo, and Beiluo was stubborn and refused to take responsibility.

A few days later, the situation expanded, and there was an armed fight between border people, and casualties and losses on both sides soared. The Southern Emperor sent envoys to settle the matter through peaceful negotiation, but Beiluo refused again, still firmly believing that there was nothing wrong with it, and declared that "the interests of the people are the interests of the country, the respect of the people is the respect of the country, and the body of the people is the body of the country." Nan Qian also refused to give an inch, strongly protested and solemnly declared: "If you don't bless the people, how can you be a country." ”

A month later, Nangan and Beiluo both tore up the border trade agreement at the treaty ports, and the commercial ports that had been open for four years were completely out of use, and Nangan and Beiluo returned to the relationship between each other in the past
