Chapter Ninety-Five: Summer Afternoon
()
North Luo Guo Jinnian Palace
In the early summer afternoon, the sun hangs lazily in the sky, illuminating the sky and everything becomes lazy. There is a quiet place in the Jinnian Palace, and there are wisps of fresh wind blowing in the distance, shaking a string of shell wind chimes to make a pleasant sound, as if an affectionate call from the seaside.
Zhan Nian also lazily reclined on the couch, looking through a yellowed and old booklet, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes frowning, and more disdainfully humming.
When he turned to the last page, he suddenly threw the booklet on the ground and said angrily: "I look down on people too much, why is there no me?"
The county lord of Anping, who was sitting drowsy on the side, suddenly woke up, looked at Ah Shu on the small bed, and immediately made a silent action, "Zhan Nian you are quiet, you know how difficult it is to put a child to sleep."
Zhan Nian picked up the booklet on the ground again and handed it to the county lord of Anping and asked, "Cousin, have you ever seen this?"
An Ping took it, and couldn't help but laugh after only turning the page, "Where did you find it, this is Jinyan's treasure." ”
"Baby hum" Zhan Nian snorted very unhappily, "You don't care where I found it, I just want to know, why is there no me here"
An Ping looked at the booklet and then looked at Zhan Nian and couldn't stop laughing again, "Why are you very unhappy that you weren't selected for the group of beauties?"
"Of course I'm not happy, I'm not as good as these people, even the cowardice of Liu Shilang's family can be selected, why don't you have me?"
For Zhan Nian's righteous indignation, the county lord of Anping was very unimpressed, she flipped through the book with great interest, and said with emotion: "Cousin, this is not to blame others, and you don't want to think about yourself, but if you take the initiative to participate in a large banquet, you will not know each other until you are sixteen years old."
"Oh, by the way, you may not know that Jin Yan once built a tree house on a whim, where you practiced martial arts every day, and you were very displeased when you saw it, so you never came again."
"Also, there was a time when Jin Yan was obsessed with fishing, and it was by the river where you used to swim, but somehow you never went again."
"It's really incredible to think about it, so many opportunities have been missed by you, it's really not easy for you."
"Anyway,Originally, you were childhood sweethearts."
The more Zhan Nian listened, the darker his face became, he remembered what Anping said, and he was still very angry at that time, why did someone always occupy the place he liked
Ne didn't know what to say for a long time, glanced at the gloating Anping, and said angrily: "How did I know that it was Ayan, about this, Cousin Anping is mainly responsible, you should have reminded me at that time"
"Hey" A cauldron fell from the sky, and Anping was not happy, "Zhan Nian, you are unreasonable, how can I know your thoughts, and I will not see what will happen in the future."
The more the two of them talked, the louder they became, and Ah Shu got out of the small quilt, as if he had been disturbed by someone and was very unhappy, rubbed his eyes and began to cry.
An Ping hurriedly hugged him in his arms to coax, but he couldn't calm the little girl's uncontrollable anger when she got up. Zhan Nian frowned and thought for a while, deciding to use the last move
After a while, the palace attendant hurriedly ran back, still holding a candy man in his hand, and Zhan Nian took it over to Ashu
He shook it forward, and sure enough, it immediately attracted her attention.
The glass-like brown and yellow color seems to be able to emit an intoxicating light, Ah Shu's eyes are straight, how long has she not eaten sugar man, although the mother emperor doesn't like it, but the imperial father will still secretly give her food, and then the mother emperor is gone, no one cares anymore, but she can't eat it.
"Imperial Father, give it to me" Ah Shu couldn't wait to stretch out his little hand.
Zhan Nian waved his hand, "Ashu, this sugar man can't be eaten for nothing, you have to answer me a question, and the answer is correct before it can be given to you."
Ah Shu nodded frequently, Zhan Nian laughed, and looked at An Ping again, "I'll take a test by the way, have you made any progress under your teaching recently?"
He took out the booklet just now and put it in front of Ah Shu, "Look at the brother in this, which one do you like?"
An Ping was furious when he heard this, "Zhan Nian, Ah Shu is so young, you taught her badly"
Zhan Nian retorted, "Cousin, Ah Yan has been teaching since he was six years old and has not succeeded, Ah Shu should have started to understand this truth earlier."
Waiting for the candy eater, Ah Shu didn't care about the dispute between the two adults, she picked up the book and flipped a page at random and pointed it to Zhan Nian, "Imperial Father, I like this the most"
Zhan Nian suddenly frowned, "Cousin, your teaching is very unsuccessful, I still don't know it."
Holding Ashu in his arms, Zhan Nian turned the booklet to her page by page, and at the end, he said earnestly: "Ashu, you will have many people who are good to you in the future, but there is no favorite, only all like, remember?"
Later, Jinshu remembered for the rest of her life that on such a summer afternoon, her imperial father tempted her with a sugar man, and remembered a teaching: there is no favorite, only all
Nangan Canaan Mountain
On the same summer afternoon, Ying Qi still sent Luo Yan to her in accordance with the wishes of the queen mother, no matter what, it was inappropriate to marry from the palace.
In the Jinghe Hall, the mother and son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat together for the first time.
Changing from the seriousness of the past, the Empress Dowager Nan directly took Luo Yan's hand and asked her to sit beside her, but she frowned coldly and began the three chapters of the law.
"Ying Qi, as long as there is a quarrel in the future, it will be your fault"
"As long as it's your fault, you must admit it first"
"As long as you admit your mistakes, you must nod your head and agree before you count"
"You remember it clearly"
Ying Qi got up with a smile, bowed deeply to the Queen Mother, and solemnly said: "I will obey the decree of the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Nan turned her head to Luo Yan and whispered softly: "Luo Yan, I only have one request for you."
Speaking of this, she stopped, and it wasn't until Luo Yan nodded lightly that she said very sincerely: "Stay by Ying Qi's side for the rest of your life."
As soon as these words came out, the silence in the room, and all kinds of flavors lingered in the hearts of the three people.
The Queen Mother Nan put the hands of the two together, and said with relief and excitement: "It is rare to have a lover in the world, let go of the past, in order to join hands in the future, the queen mother wishes you to share the joys and sorrows, love and whitehead"
Two tightly clasped hands, eyes full of smiles and love, together with this ordinary summer afternoon, are destined to become the deepest memories in the heart for a long time
Passenger boats on the river
It was still this summer afternoon, and Mei Li and Lian Jing went north by boat. Although the sun was shining in the sky, it did not feel hot because of the river breeze, on the contrary, the wind carried wet and cool water vapor, and I only felt very comfortable and comfortable.
Mei Li and Lian Jing sat in a windward shadow, looking at the endless blue waves, watching the birds fly by, looking at the white clouds, looking at each other's eyes.
Lian Jing stroked Mei Li's green silk and sighed deeply, "Mei Li, how good it would be if I could keep doing this, I am reluctant to send you back."
"I can't bear you to be so good to me" Mei Li fell on Lian Jing's knees, and the words she said were also very melancholy.
Lian Jing chuckled, "I'm just afraid that I'm not good enough to treat you better." ”
"I used to think I was a person with nothing, but now with you I suddenly have everything. That's when I realized that happiness is so simple, just one person is enough. ”
"Miri, I should thank you"
"Ah Jing" Mei Li choked up, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were full of tears, and as long as she blinked slightly, the crystal tears rolled down in turn.
Lian Jing was distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it, "Meili, don't cry, did I say something you don't like, you tell me, I won't say it again, okay?"
Mei Li shook her head with tears in her eyes, "No, I just cried because I felt it." Ah Jing, I can't bear you either, I don't want to go back to Northern Qin when I think I won't be able to see you again for a long time. ”
"I even thought that if we kept going north by boat, it would be great to wander the world."
Lian Jing suddenly laughed, "What kind of stupid words, your queen mother will be in a hurry, and I can't let you live that kind of upheaval with me, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, and I will only hide a golden house." ”
"Hmph" Mei Li burst into tears and laughed, "Your ability to coax people is becoming more and more skillful, but I don't know if it will be used on others in the future"
"That's possible," Lian Jing smiled and hugged Mei Li in his arms, "If you give birth to a daughter, I will probably coax her like this." ”
Mei Li's face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Who wants to give you a child?"
"I'm not talking nonsense," Lian Jing solemnly attached his hand to Mei Li's stomach and smiled lightly, "Maybe, there is already a little girl here." ”
"You talk nonsense again" Mei Li rushed over in annoyance, Lian Jing couldn't resist and begged for mercy again and again, and only when Mei Li was tired did he take her into his arms again, and solemnly made a request.
"Meili, I will marry you justifiably, and I will work hard to make you live a happier and happier life than a princess, you are willing to join hands with me."
Mei Li's face also became serious, her mind turned a few times, and she nodded lightly and replied: "Okay"
Lian Jing suddenly became excited, tightened the person in his arms and tightened it, and burst into tears where Meili couldn't see.
One day many years later, when Meili was combing her first gray hair in front of the mirror, she suddenly remembered that on such a summer afternoon, she had promised someone to join hands with her white head
It's such an ordinary and quiet summer afternoon, if time can pass like this forever, it is probably good, but unfortunately, there is never if
