"I heard that you are very good in the Xiguan Army and have made a lot of military achievements, and your uncle and aunt are also very happy. ”

"Fortunately, the hard work of the soldiers of the Xiguan Army is not my credit alone. ”

"I ...... I heard today that my aunt has fallen in love with the daughter of Jia Yizhen, a servant of the Hongwen Pavilion, Your Majesty...... Will give marriage. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Xiao involuntarily raised his head, which had been lowered. Under the bright moon, Lin Yuebai is dressed in blue, as the queen, her dress today seems to be extraordinarily plain, except for a dazzling phoenix hairpin on her hair and the dragon and phoenix collar around her neck, she is almost still the cousin of the Lin family who grew up being bullied, forbearance and quiet. At this moment, there was joy and expectation in her eyes, and there seemed to be disappointment and a trace of sadness, at that moment, Jiao Xiao thought that she had seen it wrong, so she reluctantly smiled and said: "Yes, since my mother has taken a fancy to her, she must be a good girl in the show." ”

"Yes...... Since my aunt has taken a fancy to her, she must be a good girl, and she will raise her eyebrows with you in the future, be filial to her in-laws, and have children......" Lin Yuebai said, but her throat felt astringent. She looked down at her shadow, and was silent for a moment. After a moment, Lin Yuebai suddenly took off a bracelet from her wrist, took out a handkerchief and carefully wrapped it and tied it in a knot, and then handed it to Jiao Xiao's hand, "I was in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to prepare anything to congratulate you, this bracelet should be given to my future sister-in-law, and my third cousin will help me hand it over." ”

It seemed that the bracelet still carried a little warmth from Lin Yuebai's wrist, and passed to Jiao Xiao's palm through the thin silk handkerchief, hot and warm, he did not refuse, carefully put the bag of things into his arms, and sighed quietly: "I said before, don't call me any cousin, just call Jiao Xiao and Lin Yuebai." But now, I don't even have the qualifications to call my cousin. ”

"Jiao Xiao ......"

"Queen Mother!" Jiao Xiao suddenly laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Today, there are still some urgent matters in Weichen's house, so I won't disturb my mother's recuperation here, after Jiao Xiao gets married, I will bring my bride into the palace to thank Your Majesty for the grace of marriage, and at that time, I will also kowtow to the queen's mother! I hope that the queen mother will take care of the phoenix body, be safe and smooth, and be happy and worry......-free! Be safe and happy!"

Lin Yuebai looked at him stunned, nodded stunned, and watched Jiao Xiao stride away, suddenly she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shouted: "Jiao Xiao!"

At this time, Jiao Xiao had already walked away, and when he heard Lin Yuebai's voice, he stopped, at that time he was standing under a pine tree, the moonlight just shone on his face, his face was so calm and serene, his soldier-like straight body seemed to stand straighter than the pine tree next to him, but the smile on his face was softer than the catkins in March, he waved his hand at Lin Yuebai, seemed to open his mouth to say something, and then left without looking back. Lin Yuebai chased two steps and stopped silently, she felt that Jiao Xiao seemed to have said something precious just now, as if he had called her name, or maybe he didn't say anything. But this scene suddenly fell into Lin Yuebai's heart, stirring up layers of ripples, and sank into the deepest part of her heart. She suddenly felt that she might have lost something, something that seemed to be very important but had never been found so important, she stood there stunned and looked at it for a long time, looking at the direction of Jiao Xiao's departure, looking at the bright moon, looking at everything under the faint moonlight, I don't know when it was dyed with a layer of gloomy autumn.

After a while, Ah Meng came out of nowhere, slowly walked to her side, and said softly, "Niangniang, shall we go back?"

"Hmm. ”

"Back to Yongyang Palace?"

"Where else can I go besides Yongyang Palace?" Lin Yuebai smiled faintly, "Some birds fly out of their nests and can go to other places to build new homes, but I can't-"

"Mother's ......"

"I am also a bird, but I am a caged bird raised by man, with a golden lock on my feet, and my master's brand on my body, even though I have a body of colorful feathers and a seemingly gorgeous tail, but I can only hover in the sky that can reach here. Lin Yuebai looked at Ah Meng gently, paused, and sighed: "Because of me, I have caused you to make myself like this." ”

"No! Don't blame Miss, it's all our fault! As long as Miss is willing to ask us now, even if it beats us and scolds us...... As long as Miss is willing to forgive us for the mistakes we made before, Ayuan and I, even if Miss is killed immediately, we are willing!"

"Don't say such things," Lin Yuebai stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Ah Meng's eyes, "Actually, I also know, if you weren't constrained by him, how could you deceive me......?"

Ah Meng's nose was sour, and he suddenly whimpered and cried: "Miss, why, why is your life so bitter! Everyone in the world thinks you are very happy, but who knows that this is the case......

Lin Yuebai suddenly shook her hand and said softly: "No matter what it looks like, it is also my own bearing." In the past, you mostly defended me, and I couldn't do anything, there is still a long, long way to go, I don't want to affect anyone anymore, I have to learn to work hard to protect everything I want to protect, maybe ...... I don't know how to do it yet, but at least, I'll do it. ”
