The huge Huo Mansion was quiet, Huo Qi and Xu Yuelian walked side by side on the road, Huo Qi, who had long hands and feet, slowed down very slowly, matching Xu Yuelian's rhythm.

"You came out of the palace with food? Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you later. Huo Qi lowered his hand, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xu Yuelian.

Xu Yuelian paused, not only can she roast sweet potatoes, but also cook?

Seeing that Xu Yuelian didn't answer, Huo Qi raised his lips and said with a slight smile, "It's guaranteed to be delicious." ”

Xu Yuelian bit her lip, lowered her head and walked a few steps silently, then said,

"I'm here to give the reward from my mother, I can't stay out longer, thank you General Huo for your kindness."

Huo Qi's originally leisurely body suddenly tightened, and in the blink of an eye, he relaxed again, retracting and releasing it, so fast that Xu Yuelian didn't notice it.

Xu Yuelian was afraid that if she stayed for a while, she would be even more unable to let go, so she could only refuse ruthlessly.

She wanted to stay and eat, wanted to be alone with him, and even wanted to follow Sister Eleven Niang to call him like before, 'Uncle Seven'.

She wanted to enjoy everything with the same peace of mind as before.

But she couldn't.

She could only kill it all with her own hands. That's the most sensible thing to do.

With a mocking smile in her heart, she seemed to have changed, she was no longer the Xu Yuelian she used to be, and now she was suffering from gains and losses, inexplicable.

Huo Qi stood in place for a while, and saw Xu Yuelian walking forward with her head buried in her head, her figure lonely, and slowly followed.

"Then let's have a chance next time." He said.

The two soon arrived at the front hall, Huo Qi received the reward, and Mi'er also came over in a wheelchair.

This is not the first time Xu Yuelian has seen Mi'er, when she was good with Sister Eleven Niang in the past, she often came to the Huo family, and she was very familiar with the daughters of the Huo family, Mi'er was also the one she had seen since she was a child, and she also hugged Mi'er back then.

But now it's different, Xu Xiuyan told Xu Yuelian about the things Xu Qichang did, including why Mi'er's legs became like this.

Mi'er and Xu Yuelian used to get along well, but now, her face sank when she saw Xu Yuelian.

These years of displacement have simply buried Mi'er's innocence, leaving only a calmness that does not match her age.

She didn't attack Xu Yuelian, she just glanced at her lightly, didn't say hello, and directly saluted Huo Qi, and then pointed to the things in the reward with a smile, and said,

"Seventh uncle, Mi'er likes this, can you give it to Mi'er?"

The Huo family is now Huo Qi and Mi'er, Huo Qi sees that Mi'er wants, where will he refuse, not to mention that these rewards are the dowry that Xu Han intends to save for Mi'er.

He sent people to move everything to Mi'er's yard in one go.

Before Mi'er left, she raised her small chin and bowed slightly to Xu Yuelian, and then left.

Whether it is Xu Han or Huo Qi, she doesn't think Mi'er is a little girl, and everything she can tell her has been told to her, so Huo Qi knows Mi'er's attitude.

Of course, there is also some embarrassment.

"You are you, Xu Qichang is Xu Qichang." Huo Qi said seriously.

Xu Yuelian nodded, "I know." ”

It couldn't take too long to leave the palace, and when Huo Qi received the reward and said a few more words, Xu Yuelian went back to the palace.

The giver of the reward came one by one, and then with another.

Night was falling, and as night wore on, the moon climbed into the treetops.

The moon is his hometown Ming, and Huo Qi feels that the moon is the same moon no matter where it goes.

When he was on the frontier, he also saw a lot of moons, and he remembered the moon in the deepest winter.

The moon hung in the sky, and the ground was a scorched earth, black and red blood, and corpses.

The moon was miserable and white.

That happened before the Huo family's accident.

At this moment, he was standing in the night that was not very cold, the moonlight was shining outside, speckled and speckled, as if there were fireflies flying, and the moonlight became gentle.

Huo Qi leaned against the window, looking at the moonlight outside, and wanted to find someone to enjoy the gentle moonlight together.

On a night like this, bathing in the glow of the moonlight should be a pleasant thing.

A face unexpectedly appeared in his mind, the face of Xu Yuelian, who had only come to give a reward today.

Huo Qi's heart was suddenly entangled, he had never tasted this before, and he couldn't even figure out why this was.

It seems that there is something in my heart that I can't let go of, and I can't let go......

In the palace, after Xu Yuelian sent her last time, she went back to her house after going to Xu Han to restore her life, and Xu Han didn't want to call her.

It's just that if she doesn't do anything at all, she can't stop the mouths of those people outside.

Seeing that her expression was a little dazed, she thought that she was tired from leaving the palace, so she hurriedly asked her to go back to rest, and said that she would let the imperial doctor show her.

Xu Yuelian is just a little depressed, where can she use the imperial doctor? She hurriedly stopped Xu Han from calling someone, and just said that it would be good to go back and sleep.

Xu Han saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she had to say that she was uncomfortable, and then let her go back to the yard.

Xu Yuelian went back to the courtyard and lay on the bed to prepare for sleep, but she couldn't sleep, and kept her eyes open until it was dark.

There was no light in the room, and the light of the moon came in through the cracks in the window, and she got up in her cloak, leaned against the window, and pushed open half of the window.

The moonlight is beautiful, and her heart is more and more desolate.

Maybe it's time to talk to Sister Han about going to the Taoist temple tomorrow.

She imagined in her mind that General Huo would also stand in front of the window, and the dim moonlight would accompany him, so that he would no longer be lonely and lonely.

He crawled out of the mire and walked so far that it was as if he had gone from his previous life to this life, and he had only now attained today's peace.

For a while, Xu Yuelian wanted to ignore it, to tell General Huo, to tell him her intentions.

But in the end, she dispelled all thoughts, as if pouring a basin of cold water on the hottest fire.

Their path, their destination, has always been a fork in the road, and there is no different path to the same end.

In the following days, Xu Yuelian did not go to Xu Han often, but hid in the house to copy scriptures.

But all the Taoist scriptures, she wanted to copy them again, not only to keep Xu Han's unborn little prince safe, but also to be able to better convince Xu Han.

Xu Yuelian deeply understood why she was a female official in the palace, and she also understood that her idea of becoming a Taoist aunt would definitely have some twists and turns.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is perseverance, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, and I believe that Sister Han will definitely agree when she sees her efforts.

After a few days, Xu Han finally realized that something was wrong, and heard Changying say that Xu Yuelian was very busy, and she didn't have time to eat busy meals, and even if she did, she only ate some light food.

Xu Han was not at ease, after all, Xu Yuelian was recruited by her to be a female official, thinking that she suddenly left Xu Yuelian by her side, but there was a lot of discussion in the capital, thinking that she wanted to use Xu Yuelian to be a pet.

Don't let Xiao Wei choose a concubine, just use such a means, and even a few ambitious families, when the woman enters the palace to meet, intentionally or unintentionally mention that there is a girl of the right age in the family, knowledge, appearance, and temperament are good, if she wants, she can also be sent to the palace as a female official.

However, those people were all rejected by her.

Can a female officer be the same as a female officer?

Those people want to enter the palace as female officials, and the purpose of the fight is to climb onto the dragon bed, but Xu Yuelian is not.

If she didn't have the ability to see people, she wouldn't have come to this point.

Xu Yuelian saw Xu Han come to see her, and felt a little guilty, in the end she just took care of herself.

She accompanied Xu Han around the garden, and heard Xu Han ask,

"You went to Uncle Seven's house a few days ago, did Uncle Seven say anything to you? When I came back, I saw that you were a little scared, what bad things did he say to you? ”

"Or did the little girl of the Huo family give you a face?"

The grievances between the Huo family and the Xu family are not so easy, Xu Yuelian, as the former Xu family, has a normal face when she suffers from Dao Mi'er.

Xu Yuelian didn't expect Xu Han to ask such a question, and repeatedly recalled her performance when she came back that day, and her face really didn't reveal anything.

Sister Han is either really keen, or she is cheating on her, after all, her abnormality started after she came back that day.

She also knew that it was not easy to hide this matter from Xu Han's eyes, so she plucked up her courage,

"Sister Han...... I want to be a women's crown ......"

Her voice was a little small and indistinct, Xu Han didn't hear it clearly for a while, looked at her suspiciously, and said,

"Aren't you a female officer now? Or do you want to go to the Shanggong Bureau? You're seventeen now, and I'll let you out when the New Year turns over. ”

"There are a lot of people who ask you these days, I asked Changying to make a roster, if you want to have a fancy one, I will help you be a matchmaker, if not, let's continue to watch."

"Anyway, let's not be in a hurry, it's hard to find three-legged toads in the world, two-legged men are everywhere, there are always good ones."

Xu Yuelian knew that Xu Han had misheard her words, so she spoke louder and said more clearly, "No, I want to be a female crown...... Ikun Road ......"

Inexplicably, Xu Yuelian felt that Xu Han was deliberately playing dumb riddles with her, which would deliberately say female crown, three words, you can't listen to it as a female official, for insurance, she added Kun Dao again.

Xu Han smiled lightly and said,

"Oh, into the Kun Road, in the future, it will be troublesome to be optimistic about men to be vulgar......"

Xu Han said this, Xu Yuelian didn't understand, Xu Han was teasing her.

Her heart seemed to be soaked in vinegar, it was soft, and tears were about to come out, "Sister Han, what I said is true, I don't want to get married." ”

Xu Han saw that he couldn't get over, sighed, and said, "Let's not talk about this first, don't you want to copy the scriptures?" When you have copied all the Taoist scriptures first, you still have ideas at that time, so go for it. ”

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

Xu Yuelian nodded tearfully.

With Xu Han's words, Xu Yuelian's originally restless heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she lived more and more calmly.

On this day, she went outside the palace to help Xu Han buy ghee snails, in fact, all the imperial chefs in the palace are excellent, and some can make ghee snails.

But the queen who was pregnant with a child had too much taste.

As soon as she opened her eyes early in the morning, she thought about eating butter snails, Xu Yuelian listened to it, and left the palace after breakfast.

The carriage stopped under the Yongxin Gate, and Xu Yuelian had just gotten out of the carriage when she saw a figure coming from this side.

Her heart trembled, it was Huo Qi.

For no reason, she smiled again.

She hid in the house and copied the scriptures, thinking that she would never see each other again, but she never thought that she and he were both a grain of sand in this earthly world, and one day, they would gather together with the wind.

Xu Yuelian felt that it was okay, there were more things that could be recalled in her mind in the future.

Huo Qi approached slowly, didn't say anything, just watched in silence as Xu Yuelian saluted him, and then spread his palms to her.

Inside are two pomegranates carved from jade.

The pomegranate is very well carved, and the pomegranate seeds bloom from the peel, which makes people love it at a glance.

Xu Yuelian's fingers shrunk in her sleeve.

Huo Qi put two jade pomegranates into Xu Yuelian's hands, "I accidentally saw it in a shop, I think it's very interesting, I'll give it to you." ”

Xu Yuelian smiled and held the jade pomegranate in her hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, she didn't ask Huo Qi why he gave her these two things.

This rare encounter, she still wants to leave a good memory, so she said softly,

"Thank you to the general for remembering Yuelian, this thing is very good, Yuelian accepted it, and I also look forward to the general being like this pomegranate in the future, blooming in the Huo family, and having many children and grandchildren."

Her head hung slightly, and her voice was as crisp as before, but after she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned sideways, and after a few breaths, she turned around again.

It's just that Huo Qi is still keenly aware of the tears left in her eyes.

"Yuelian." He called in a low voice, and the word 'Yuelian' spit out from his mouth, which was so pleasant that Xu Yuelian's heart couldn't help but tremble again.

She took a deep breath and raised her head, however, she didn't have the courage to look directly into Huo Qi's eyes, her eyes flickered a few times, and she still forced herself to look at Huo Qi,

"General Huo, I want to confess one thing to you, I once had a love for you. But I also know that we can't do it. ”

"The Xu family is the culprit who harmed the Huo family, even if I am not the Xu family now, as long as I receive the favor of the Xu family for a day, then I am still the Xu family."

"Although there is a chasm between us, I don't regret falling in love with you, you are so good, it is really easy to love you."

"But I'm self-aware, and thankfully my affection doesn't bother you."

She bowed deeply to Huo Qi, "Thank you for what you sent me." ”

Huo Qi's originally bright eyes dimmed little by little, and he was silent, these two jade pomegranates were carved by him himself, and he began to carve them after thinking of her under the moonlight that day.

The way she laughed, and the way she fell to the ground after Funing Temple, made him feel like this slightly blooming pomegranate seed.

It's a pleasure to behold.

He hadn't figured out his mind yet, he thought a lot about what he should say to Xu Yuelian after figuring out what his heart was.

But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count Xu Yuelian's confession.

So, it's over before it all begins?

"Why are you telling me this?" Huo Qi grabbed Xu Yuelian, who was about to walk past him.

Xu Yuelian, "Because I want to make it clear and ...... in the future"

They didn't come later.

She can also completely cut off her feelings, no matter whether she forgets each other in the future, misses each other alone or what.

"Sister Han has promised me that as long as I finish copying the scriptures, I will be allowed to enter Kun Dao, General Huo, goodbye."

She said 'goodbye' softly and gently pulled her arm out of Huo Qi's hand.

Tears kept falling from Xu Yuelian's eyes, she felt that she was a bad woman, she could not say anything.

But those two jade pomegranates made her inner defense line collapse, and General Huo was also happy with her.

The meaning of pomegranate is to have many children and grandchildren.

How can she not think about it without thinking about such a thing?

Just, so what?

It's one thing for her to understand, it's another thing to understand how much.

The gap between the Huo Xu family is difficult to cross.

She didn't even know how much affection she had for Huo Qi.
