The celebration banquet was held in the evening, and the men and women sat separately, and Su Li and Yue Yan sat together.

At the beginning, Su Li went with Kutar and didn't tell the world, but now that she is back, she will not blatantly reward her, this banquet is just to celebrate Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji, so Su Li can be regarded as sitting in the banquet easily, and there will be no entertainment.

In less than two years, almost all the people in the court have changed, most of the people in the women's area Su Li don't know, and those people don't know Su Li either, seeing her and Yue Yan sitting together, they all look sideways.

Su Li still didn't like this kind of gaze, and tilted her head to talk to Yue Yan to distract herself.

"Is my sister's shoulder injury healed? Does it still hurt? ”

Su Li asked softly, the palace people served the flower wine that was not easy to be intoxicating, and Su Li raised her hand to help herself and Yue Yan pour a glass each.

Yue Yan took it up and drank it all, and smiled lightly: "It doesn't hurt." ”

That sword pierced deeply, and the wound was severe, but no matter how ruthless it was, it would heal.

It's just that after healing, she was left with an ugly scar on her shoulder, and her teeth and claws were hideous and terrifying, as if she was deliberately reminding her how cold and ruthless Gu Jiong's cold eyes were that night.

After drinking a glass, Yue Yan grabbed the wine bottle and added another glass to himself.

Su Li saw that her expression seemed to be depressed, and she tentatively explained: "The situation was critical that night, Gu Jiong did that, it was also a helpless move, if he showed the slightest concern, he would be caught by the weakness of the Sultan." ”

"I know."

Yue Yan whispered, this noisy and lively hall was very cold in her eyes.

The Yue family has long been gone, she has been alone in this world for a long time, just asking for a clear conscience, but she ...... There are some feelings of guilt that cannot be made up for for a lifetime.

She understood what Su Li had just said, and she also knew that the situation was critical that night, and Gu Jiong's choice was correct.

But before Gu Ji and Ku Tatar fought, he shot a short arrow first.

If it weren't for the guards around Kutar to stop him, Yue Yan would have become Kutar's substitute for the dead ghost.

When he shot that arrow, he didn't seem to think about her life or death at all.

Does he want to kill Kutar or does he want to kill her as well?

This conjecture was like a poisonous thorn that grew madly in the bottom of her heart, wrapping her heart so tightly that she could barely breathe.

She knew that she had no more affection for Gu Jiong, and she was ashamed of him, she was not afraid that he would be cold-hearted and ruthless, but she was afraid that he would hate her.

If he wants her to be happy when she dies, how should she deal with herself?

Thinking of this, his chest became more and more suffocated, Yue Yan poured himself another glass of wine to drink, and was about to pour it again, but was stopped by Su Li: "Although the flower wine is not intoxicating, it is not advisable to drink too much on an empty stomach, sister should eat some vegetables to cushion her stomach first." ”

Su Li said that she put vegetables in Yue Yan's bowl, Yue Yan knew that she was for her own good, so she reluctantly ate it, and the palace people just announced that Lu Ji would be rewarded.

Lu Ji is now a heavy soldier, and his rank is second only to Lu Guogong, there is nothing to go up again, and the holy decree only raised Gu Li's edict by another level, and then rewarded a lot of fields.

Lu Ji stood up to accept the order, because he lost his memory, the whole person looked a lot younger, and he had an outstanding cold temperament, but he was still attractive.

Yue Yan watched him kneeling straight to receive the order, and couldn't help but speak: "Ah Li, do you hope that the general will never remember you?" ”

"Hope."

"Why?"

"He doesn't remember, so he owes me less."

Su Li said very lightly, but the distance was very close, Yue Yan heard it clearly, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "What about you?" ”

You have a deep affection for him, but he forgets you completely, will you be sad?

Su Li didn't expect Yue Yan to ask to the bottom of the matter, and after a trance, she saw Lu Ji take the holy decree and stand up and return to his seat.

Over the years, his appearance and personality have hardly changed, as they first appeared.

Su Li still clearly remembered every bit of getting along with him, but she didn't remember why she was attracted to him, or it wasn't heartbeat, just gratitude and admiration.

The relationship between people is really delicate and complicated, and Su Li can't explain exactly what is in it, but she is sure that her feelings for Lu Ji are different from those for Chu Huai'an.

No matter how intimate Chu Huai'an is with her, in front of Chu Huai'an, she will still be shy, she will not dare to look him in the eyes, and her heart will beat faster because of his sudden words.

If there was no Gu Li between her and Lu Ji, if Lu Ji married her, in this life, she and Chu Huai'an may have no intersection.

But there is no if, going around and around to the present, it is clear who is who is the passer-by.

They have their own destiny, and there is no need to regret or complain.

"It's going to pass."

Su Li replied softly, picked up the wine glass, and looked at Chu Huai'an for a while, the man seemed to find that she had just stared at Lu Ji and was distracted, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes showed dissatisfaction, Su Li looked away, smiled at the corner of her lips, and looked up at the wine in her hand, only to feel that the wine was sweet and refreshing, and it was sweet and sweet.

Su Li's whole body exuded a sweet happiness after relief, Yue Yan clenched his wine glass, looking at his dazed reflection in the cup.

Is it true that everything will pass?

Chu Huai'an's request has already been mentioned, Chu Lingzhao directly asked the palace people to announce his marriage to Su Li, all the ministers congratulated one after another, and the women's dependents area was full of discussions, all asking who Su Li was.

Su Li looked at her nose and nose and her heart, but did not respond.

After the award ended, the music bureau was on the show, and after a while, some unmarried women also began to perform the show.

Su Li hasn't sat down like this for a long time to watch the show, she is very interested and enjoys watching it, although most of the shows are songs and dances with no new ideas, but it is quite interesting to watch these little girls show their talents.

The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all on again, and a light flute suddenly came from outside the hall, and everyone's attention was attracted to look at the door of the hall, and after a while, a colorful butterfly flew into the hall.

The wings of the butterfly are blue, and there are colorful patterns on them, which is very beautiful.

Everyone stared at the colorful butterfly, the colorful butterfly flew in the hall for a while, and for some reason lingered in front of Su Li, Su Li saw that it was really beautiful, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and the colorful butterfly flew twice and stopped at her fingertips.

"Stopped!"

Someone exclaimed, thinking that it was Su Li's unexpected show, and the next moment, a group of colorful butterflies suddenly flew in at the entrance of the hall.

"Oh my God!"

Everyone can't calm down now.

After all, it is already autumn, and there should be no butterflies in this season, and it is a spectacle to suddenly fly so many colorful butterflies.

Everyone was amazed, and in an exclamation, a white figure came from outside the hall.

The white dress is a special dance skirt, the skirt is a layer of tulle, walking like clouds and mist, fairy air fluttering, the top is very close-fitting, outlining the delicate body curve, the waist is a mesh skirt made of red silk overlapping, embellished with silver bells and tassels, the crisp sound of silver bells and the sound of the flute echo each other, and it is beautiful for a while.

The woman wears a veil, only to see the graceful posture, not to see the face, is already moving, she dances with the sound of the flute, to the high place, with a wave of both hands, suddenly threw out two water sleeves, the end of the water sleeves is fresh light green, she rotated in place, the water sleeves are like fairy mist around her, dozens of colorful butterflies also follow her flying around her.

No one spoke in the entire banquet hall for a while, and they all looked at the beautiful fairyland-like picture in front of them in amazement.

I don't know how long it took, the woman finally stopped slowly, she squatted down, the skirt spread out like a blooming white lotus, those colorful butterflies stopped on her, the skirt was like a dream.

There was still no one to speak, and they were still immersed in a shock and did not come back to their senses.

"The courtier Lin Yueshuang has the courage to sacrifice ugliness, please don't laugh at Your Majesty and all your lords!"

Lin Yueshuang spoke, her voice soft but confident and generous, enough for everyone to hear her voice.

"It's her, Jing Zhaoyin's only daughter."

"I'll just say why I haven't seen her tonight."

"Didn't you say she hurt her leg? I haven't been out in months, and it seems that my leg is okay? ”

The people around were talking, and Chu Lingzhao had already spoken: "This dance is excellent, reward!" ”

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately applauded, Kuajing Zhaoyin taught her daughter well, and Miss Quarin was really a rare wonderful person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Lin Yueshuang thanked her, and only then did she show that her breath was unstable, which showed that Fang Cai's dance was extremely laborious.

Lin Yueshuang stepped back in gratitude, stretched out her hand, and those colorful butterflies spontaneously flew out of the hall, and many sons in the male dependency area lost their souls, stretched their necks to follow her figure.

The trick of dancing with butterflies is really novel and eye-catching, and after tonight, this Miss Lin should be firmly on the throne of the first talented woman in Kyoto.

Su Li thought to herself, her shoulders suddenly heavy, and a faint smell of wine hit, Yue Yan didn't know when she finished drinking a bottle of flower wine and got drunk.

"Ah Li, do you know how Gu Li died?"

Yue Yan asked in a low voice, her eyes were already red, she grabbed Su Li's hand tightly, her lips trembled and tears fell, and then Su Li heard her say, "I was killed by me, she was killed by me!" ”

Yue Yan became excited as she spoke, her voice unconsciously raised a little, Su Li hurriedly covered her mouth, turned her head and said to the palace maid next to her: "The county lord is drunk, help her back to rest with me first." ”

After Su Li finished speaking, she exchanged glances with Chu Huai'an, and said hello, so she left the table ahead of schedule with Yue Yan.

returned to the dormitory and helped Yue Yan to the bed, and Su Li sent the palace maid to cook sobering soup and send hot water.

Yue Yan lay on the bed and looked at the bed tent silently, Su Li sat on the edge of the bed and didn't speak, after a long time, Yue Yan spoke again: "I should have accompanied her that day, she has always been timid, and she is a few months pregnant, in case of fright, the child may not be saved." ”

"That day...... Where have you been? ”

Su Li asked in a low voice, gently holding Yue Yan's hand, compared to Su Li, her hand was very cold.

"I'm in the city to save people." Yue Yan replied, holding Su Li's hand and holding it very tightly, as if if if he didn't catch anything, he would drown in that terrible memory.

"Gu Zhi asked me not to go out, I didn't listen to him, and then the Hu people attacked the city, Gu Zhi came out to look for me, and on the way back, I saw Hu Keduo arresting Gu Li, and Gu Zhi immediately led people to chase him out of the city."

Su Li actually knew the result later, and Yue Yan still said it in a trembling voice.

He didn't bring Gu Li back, even himself...... Didn't come back! ”

After Yue Yan finished saying that, Su Li was silent for a long time, and only Yue Yan's low sobs remained in the room.

They all knew very well what happened to Gu Zhi and Gu Li later.

Su Li can't say that it's not wrong for Yue Yan to run out if she didn't listen to Gu Ji's words, and she can't say that Gu Li's death has nothing to do with her, after so many years of ups and downs, many things can no longer be judged by simple criteria.

The palace people quickly sent hot water and sobering soup, Su Li asked people to retreat, fed Yue Yan to drink the sobering soup, and saw that she was very drunk, and comforted her softly: "It's all over, go to sleep." ”

“……”

Yue Yan was silent, she had already fallen asleep, Su Li took a handkerchief to help her clean her face, wiped her hands again, and finally helped her tuck the quilt.

After sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, Su Li wanted to leave, and heard Yue Yan drunken murmuring: "Gu Jiong, I don't owe you anything......

She didn't wake up, and after she finished speaking, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes again.

Su Li could see it clearly, Yue Yan said that he didn't owe Gu Ji anything, but his expression was not relieved at all.

If she and Gu Jiong don't owe each other, I'm afraid it will take many days to untie the knot.

This heart is knotted in the bottom of their hearts, and no one else can help them except themselves.

Su Li helped Yue Yan wipe away her tears, and waited until she was completely asleep before getting up to leave.

When she went out, the autumn breeze brought coolness, and Su Li suddenly wanted to talk to Chu Huai'an.

She walked briskly back to the banquet room, and when she got there, she realized that it was not early, and the banquet had already dispersed.

The banquet was over, why didn't Chu Huaian come to her?

Su Li was a little surprised, and asked the palace people to ask, only to know that Chu Huai'an and Chu Lingxi left the table together.

They haven't seen each other for a long time, they should have a lot to say, Su Li didn't bother, asked the palace people to bring a message to Chu Huai'an, and left the palace by himself.

There were a lot of carriages parked before the gate of the palace, and the banquet dispersed and everyone came out, so it was inevitable that the road was a little congested, and the time when Su Li came out was just right, and the road was smooth at this time.

Su Xun sat in the carriage and waited, and immediately waved when he saw her: "Sister, here!" ”

Su Li walked over, grabbed Su Xun's hand and got into the car, Su Lou and Su Xian sat in the car, and when Su Li entered, the whole person became restrained, and called Sister Ah uncomfortably.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, Master Hou let us escort you home."

Su Xun said loudly, there was a slight smell of alcohol on his body, and his eyebrows were raised with a joy that could not be hidden, it seemed that he was very happy today.

"Are you so happy to go back to Beijing?"

Su Li couldn't help asking, seeing that she wanted to talk to Su Xun, Su Lou thoughtfully lifted the curtain and hung it beside her, Su Xun whipped and drove, and replied loudly: "Well, happy!" ”

The three of them are only in their teens, and they are still young people's hearts, and they still can't hide their words after all, Su Lou revealed next to him: "Where is the joy of returning to Beijing, it is obvious that I am happy to receive my purse!" ”

"Someone gave you a purse?"

Su Li was a little surprised, she began to go into exile when she was fifteen years old, and she had long forgotten that young boys and girls at this age were the first time to express their love for each other, so she didn't think about the marriage of the three of them at all.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't!"

Su Xun denied it loudly, but his body was unnaturally tense, and he wanted to cover it at first glance.

Su Li didn't break it down, but only gently advised the three of them: "The girl's purse can't be taken casually, if you are unintentional about her, accepting it will only make people pay it wrongly, and it will hurt people's hearts in vain." ”

How many crazy men and women in the book are formed like this, Su Li's love road is bumpy, and she doesn't want them to be like this.

Su Lou and Su Xian both nodded seriously, Su Xun drove the car in a sullen voice for a while, and said in a low voice for a while: "I know that I have accepted her things, and I must be responsible for her." ”

Although he is young, he is a responsible person.

Su Li wasn't worried that he would go the wrong way, and wanted to say something more, Su Lou suddenly hesitated to speak: "Sister, you ...... Do you know about Miss Lin? ”

"What's the matter?"

Su Li was puzzled, Su Xian grabbed Su Lou's sleeve and signaled him with his eyes not to say much, and Su Xun also followed to cover up: "It's nothing, we heard that there is a Lin girl dancing with butterflies tonight, beautiful as a fairy, a little curious, hahaha." ”

Su Xun smiled very unnaturally, and Su Li's gaze lingered between Su Xian and Su Lou, and he quickly had a conjecture.

"I've been away from Beijing for more than a year, isn't this Miss Lin a deep friend of Master Hou?"

Su Li asked, mixed with a little anger, deliberately deceived the two of them, and the two of them really couldn't hold back, and hurriedly helped Chu Huaian explain.

"No, no, Hou Ye doesn't feel anything about her! I've never looked at her in the eye! ”

"That's it! She posted it upside down herself, and the Hou Ye also issued a military order not to allow her to enter the barracks! ”

Su Lou and Su Xian looked nervous, afraid that Su Li would misunderstand, this appearance of not confessing to himself, it was really difficult to make Su Li believe that nothing had happened between Lin Yueshuang and Chu Huai'an.

Su Li carefully recalled the conversation that those people at the previous banquet had talked about this Miss Lin, and suddenly remembered that this Miss Lin seemed to have injured her leg a few months ago.

"If Master Hou hadn't looked at her squarely, how could he hurt Miss Lin's leg?"

Su Li asked firmly, with her current Taoism, it was too easy to get words from the mouths of the two teenagers.

Su Xian and Su Lou glanced at each other, and they both felt that Su Li might have heard a lot of things, which inevitably caused a misunderstanding between Su Li and Chu Huai'an, and the two of them were busy pouring beans to tell the entanglement between Lin Yueshuang and Chu Huai'an.

It turned out that after Chu Huai'an went to the hussar army, within two months, he killed many soldiers with loose military discipline and improper style, and his reputation was greatly enhanced, and the king of Zhenxi sued the emperor and wanted to avenge his old department, but he didn't expect Chu Lingzhao to fool him back after playing two laps of Tai Chi, and he didn't move Chu Huai'an's half hair, which was considered to support Chu Huai'an's actions in disguise.

The people in the army quieted down all of a sudden, slowly obeyed the order, and within half a year, they were made into a sharp sword with strict military discipline by Chu Huai'an.

At this moment, Lu Ji led the army to garrison at the border pass, while Chu Huaian led his troops back to Beijing and camped in the Xishan military camp.

Since Chu Huai'an took over the hussars, Chu Liu has been sick, and she can't imagine that her precious son will live the rest of his life licking blood.

Chu Liu's health is not good, Chu Huai'an still has to return to the city from the military camp to visit her from time to time, one day when he returned to the city, Lin Yueshuang happened to faint in front of Chu Huai'an's horse, but he didn't care about her, he directly rode his horse over her and left directly.

After that day, there were rumors in Beijing, saying that Lin Yueshuang deliberately fainted under the hussar general's horse, trying to lure the hussar general to save the United States heroically, which was really shameless.

If an ordinary woman hears such a rumor, she is afraid that she will be ashamed and indignant, and hide in the boudoir and dare not see anyone.

Lin Yueshuang didn't take the usual path, she took her personal maid to the Xishan military camp to find Chu Huai'an in a very high-profile manner, and apologized to him, saying that it was because she had damaged his reputation, and she really didn't want to go.

In fact, Chu Huai'an didn't see Lin Yueshuang at all that day, but just sent the deputy general to send Lin Yueshuang away, and the deputy general also heard this and conveyed it on his behalf.

Chu Huai'an didn't take this matter to heart, but the rumors were self-defeating, and everyone thought that Lin Yueshuang was a bright and broad-minded woman.

This matter also reached the ears of the sick Chu Liu, although she had never seen Lin Yueshuang, she also felt that this girl was really good.

After some time, Chu Liu's family finally recovered, and he also felt that he was not good at staying at home all day, so he took the initiative to send an invitation to invite some noble ladies in Beijing to chat with the Hou Mansion, and Lin Yueshuang also accompanied his mother that day.

After coming and going, Lin Yueshuang became a frequent visitor to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, but because Chu Liu's health improved, Chu Huai'an did not return to the city, but did not meet Lin Yueshuang again.

After a few months like this, the cold winter came, Chu Liu's old illness was always insomnia and headaches, Lin Yueshuang heard from nowhere that the blood of wild roe deer in the mountains could be used as medicine to relieve headaches, so she took the family nursing home to help Chu Liu find wild roe deer.

It just so happened that after they entered the mountain, a heavy snow fell, and the mountain was soon closed, and several people were trapped inside.

Lin Yueshuang is the only daughter of Jing Zhaoyin, and she brought people into the mountain in order to treat Chu Liu's illness, so she couldn't watch her freeze to death in the mountain, so Chu Lingzhao ordered Chu Huai'an to lead troops into the mountain to save people.

Five days later, Chu Huai'an came out of the mountains with Lin Yueshuang.

It is said that on that day the hussar general came out of the white mountains with a man wrapped in the general's robe, and his face could not be seen, except for a tattered red dress and a white and tender wounded calf.

After Chu Huai'an sent Lin Yueshuang back to Jingzhao Yin's mansion, those soldiers also found a few nursing homes.

After that, Chu Huaian led his troops to the border pass, while Lin Yueshuang recuperated at home for several months.

No one knows what happened in the mountains in those days, but the lonely men and widows, and the weather is cold, how can people keep warm? It's just that there are no reveries, the girl's dress is torn, and she is looked at, isn't she responsible?

Therefore, everyone speculated that this Lin girl from the Jingzhao Yin family was afraid that she was going to fly into the Xiaoyao Mansion to be a golden phoenix.

"We went into the mountains with Hou Ye to find someone, and it was clear that Miss Nalin was sick and confused and kept holding Hou Ye, so Hou Ye didn't do anything out of the way to her!"

Su Lou defended loudly and resolutely defended Chu Huai'an's innocence.

Su Li understood the ins and outs, and wanted to laugh a little, so she deliberately teased him: "Master Hou didn't do anything out of order, did Miss Lin do it?" ”

“……”

Su Li thought that the two of them would still shake their heads firmly, but they didn't expect the words to fall, and their faces changed.

Su Li's face gradually sank: "What did Miss Lin do to Master Hou?" ”
