Chapter 21 The sycamore leaves in front of the stairs have fallen
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Su Yun took a carriage to the palace.
"Uncle Zhang, the road is slippery, go back and be careful." Su Wan got out of the carriage and said to the coachman with an oil-paper umbrella.
Uncle Zhang is the coachman of the General's Mansion, and he sends Su Yun into the palace on weekdays.
"Miss, you don't have to worry about me, you also have to pay attention to safety, it's not easy to walk on this rainy day."
Su Wan smiled and nodded gently.
Today's heavy rain made it impossible to teach Qi Yuan to practice martial arts, so Su Yun did not go to the martial arts training ground, but went directly to the Pearl Hall and waited for Qi Yuan in the main hall of the reception.
"Princess Qiyu, Miss Su is here." The palace maid of the Pearl Hall reported.
"Sister Su Wan is finally here!" Qi Yuan ran to the main hall excitedly, and Su Yun, who was dressed in azure clothes, was sitting there waiting.
"Sister Su Yun!" Qi Yuan ran to Su Yun and threw herself into her arms, "You are finally willing to see me, I have been worried about you to death these days." Qi Yuan hugged Su Yun with both hands, looked at Su Yun with his little head up, and his big eyes were full of concern.
She is only as tall as Su Wan's waist, and she looks very cute with her head up. Su Wan gently touched Qi Kite's head, "I'm sorry, little kite, I'm not in a good mood these days, which makes you worry." ”
"Sister Su Wan doesn't need to say I'm sorry, I understand everything, it's all over now."
Su Wan couldn't cry or laugh, "You understand? You know what a child understands, you don't understand about adults. ”
Qi Yuan pouted, wanting to refute her, but after thinking about it, she gave up, let go of Su Wan with a smile, and sat on the chair next to her.
"It's raining today, so I can't train." Qi Yuan smiled slyly.
"That's why I came directly to the Pearl Hall." Su Yun took the tea handed over by the maid and took a sip, "Well, the taste is mellow and sweet, good tea." ”
"This is the new Linzhou Tieguanyin this year, this is my father's favorite, and I can't drink it in other palaces." It seems that Qi Yuan is in a good mood today.
"What makes you feel so good?" Su Wan asked.
Qi Yuan put her elbow on the square table between her and Su Yun, supported her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "There are two things, one is definitely because Sister Su Yun, you came to see me today, and the other is that Mingfeng's affairs have been arranged."
"When will you take him into the palace?"
"Wait until his wounds heal."
Su Yun said while sipping tea: "You came to the General's Mansion last time to see him, right?"
Qi Yuan said: "After reading it, he said that it will be cured in about half a month."
Su Yun put down the teacup, looked at Qi Yuan and said: "Little Kite, from today I will learn about the battlefield with my father's lieutenant general, your training here has also been four months, I have basically taught you the basic physical fitness skills, I should teach you another ten days or so to end the training for you, in the future, if you have time, follow the exercises I taught you, I will no longer teach you."
"So suddenly?" Qi Yuan was a little disappointed, "I still want to learn more from my sister, but you must have a lot of things to do over there, so it's okay, Sister Su Yun, don't worry, I won't be lazy!" ”
Su Yun deliberately teased: "Little kite practice hard, and my sister will rely on you to protect her in the future."
Qi Yuan nodded very cooperatively, and said with a smile: "I will definitely protect my sister!"
East Palace.
Sun Lingshu braved the rain to bring her own snacks to Qi Yan.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the osmanthus cake made by the little girl today." Sun Lingshu smiled and sent the food box, and the eunuch beside the prince took it.
"Miss Sun's dim sum is delicious, but it's raining heavily today, so you don't have to come here in person." Qi Yan changed his coldness from the past, and said to Sun Lingshu in a slightly gentle tone.
Sun Lingshu's face turned crimson, and she said shyly: "This little rain is not in the way."
Qi Yan was drinking tea in the room, the door was wide open, facing a beautiful courtyard, and the sound of rain was dripping.
Listening to the rain and making tea, elegant and comfortable.
"Miss Sun, would you like to accompany this king to have tea together?" Although Qi's tone was indifferent, these words made Sun Lingshu's heart bump again.
"The little girl is very honored."
Xiao Lizi, the eunuch of the East Palace, laid out the small flute and arranged the tea set for Sun Lingshu.
Sun Lingshu was a little nervous, she knelt on the tussel, and her skirt was wrinkled by her.
She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan poured a cup of tea for Sun Lingshu, "This is a kind of Phoenix Narcissus, a kind of Linzhou oolong tea." ”
Sun Lingshu took a slight sip of the teacup and exclaimed, "Good tea."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Lingshu was embarrassed for a while, and she couldn't wait to slap herself twice, she can usually speak well, and she claims to be the first talented woman in the capital, why can't she say anything in front of Qi Yan? It's a shame.
Qi Yan didn't pay any attention to Sun Lingshu, and only focused on making tea.
Sun Lingshu thought of thousands of words in her head, wanting to say them to liven up the atmosphere, but she swallowed them back when the words came to her mouth.
Alas, such a good opportunity and such a good atmosphere were wasted by myself, Sun Lingshu was annoyed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not think that I was a vase that couldn't say a word, right......
"Be careful." Qi Yan poured a second cup of tea for Sun Lingshu and thoughtfully reminded her.
Sun Lingshu blushed again, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The world says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not close to women and is indifferent, Sun Lingshu used to think so, but now she is completely immersed in Qi Yan's "gentleness".
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as cold and impersonal as the world says, he is obviously so gentle and considerate, the corners of Sun Lingshu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and her love for Qi Yan was a little more.
After Su Yun returned home, he only rested for a while, and Yang Qi arrived.
Su Wan had already prepared earlier, so it wasn't too difficult to learn.
Yang Qi taught Su Wan for an hour, and before leaving, he left a task for her to complete before he came the next day.
Yang Qi's assignment is generally to find information about a particular war, and to write an opinion on the war and summarize the strategies in it. Su Wan has almost done everything very well, after all, she has been familiar with military books since she was a child.
Time passed day by day like this, Su Yun was so busy every day that he didn't have time to feel sorry for Yunsheng's affairs.
This is also the reason why she took the initiative to ask to learn from Yang Qi in advance - to keep herself busy and not to think about Yunsheng.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Qi Yuan sent someone to pick up Mingfeng and enter the palace.
After Narukaze entered the palace, he participated in the training of the new guards with more than 100 men who had just entered the palace.
The training intensity is high, and he has to get up early and go to bed late every day, Mingfeng's days are very difficult, but he wants to repay his kindness, wants to stay by Qi Yuan's side to protect her, and pays much more than others every day, and trains desperately.
Narukaze stayed after a month of training, and more difficult training awaited him.
One day, on an ordinary afternoon, Su Wan moved a chair and sat under a plane tree in the courtyard to enjoy the warm but not scorching autumn sun. She turned her face back and closed her eyes comfortably, perhaps she was too tired lately, and she fell asleep after a while.
"Woo Woo."
"Senior brother, what do you mean, 'the days are long and the days are endless'? If it is 'forever', why is there an end? ”
"Probably to say, the word love is difficult for everyone in the world to understand, and what I once thought was eternal has an end."
"And what's the end? Senior brother, is there really no eternal love in the world? ”
Yun Sheng stared at Su Yun gently, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be about to be swept away.
"Yes."
A gust of wind blew, and pieces of golden sycamore leaves fluttered down, and a leaf gently fell on Su Yun's face, she slowly opened her eyes, took down the leaf, and looked at it in a daze.
My heart began to ache again.
Yunsheng, what kind of eternal love are you talking about?
Su Wan suddenly realized that she hadn't heard half a word about Yun Sheng and Jiang Jingrou for more than a month.
The General's Mansion naturally didn't dare anyone to chew the root of his tongue, and no one in the school had dared to mention Yunsheng in front of her since Su Yun beat Sun Lingshu in public, so Su Yun had a fairly clean life for more than a month.
Pure, but lonely.
It's late autumn.
