Chapter 7: Rare to see

The bright moon, which had rested, was silently looking at the bright moon in front of the window. The maid next to her brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge: "Princess, you haven't eaten for a day, eat a little bit." ”

"I can't eat it." Jiaoyue sighed and looked at the maid beside her, "Do you have a beloved?" "Jiaoyue's inner frustration is bitter that no one can talk to, and she wants to talk more to the maid.

"Slaves don't." Shanrou hurriedly knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare." Looking at Shanrou who was prostrate on the ground, Jiaoyue realized that in the eyes of these maids, she might be the happiest. As a princess, even if she marries far away, her fate is a hundred times stronger than those palace maids whose life and death are in the hands of others. However, I would rather not be this princess, not to have fine clothes and food every day, as long as a few acres of thin fields, a group of chickens and ducks, and a grass house, as long as I can be with him, even if there is nothing, it is all happiness. Shanrou doesn't understand her own thoughts, so she can only say that her fate is different...

Thinking of this, she sighed and called Shanrou to get up. I thought of that person again, that handsome face. No matter how old he grows up, why is he still the boy with a red face, stammering even when he speaks, and a shy love in his eyes? After the Yuan ceremony, he is an adult, if his parents are in the hall, he will definitely choose a good family affair for him, and the bride will definitely be very beautiful. "Will it be prettier than me?" Silently, I thought, if I asked him this, how would he answer? Now that he is thousands of miles away from him, I am afraid that I will never see him again in this life and this life. Goodbye, boy, forget me.

The noble princess was like a madman, sometimes chuckling, sometimes crying. Shanrou sees it in her eyes and hurts her heart. It was the princess who saved her. When she accidentally broke the vase and was ordered to be killed with a cane by **Concubine De, it was the princess who rescued her. Now, she was ordered by the emperor to make her forget that person. She had no choice, her parents died young, and her younger brother was still in the hands of the steward. As long as he makes any changes, the governor will definitely execute him mercilessly. Moreover, it would be much better for the princess to forget that person and happily go back to the end of the marriage, than to think about it now, it should be much better, right? Shanrou's heart struggles. The hand that clenched the medicine bottle was covered with sweat, and his face was pale from nervousness.

"Shanrou, are you uncomfortable?" He gave her a strange look. Kyaukyue asked with concern, "Let's find a doctor to take a look." ”

With tears in her eyes, Shanrou knelt down: "The princess is gracious, the slave and maid will never forget, I just want to share the worries of the princess and make the princess happy." Even if the slave and maid die, they will not be able to escape the blame······" Jiaoyue picked up Shanrou and touched Shanrou's forehead in surprise: "Shanrou, you're not having a fever, are you?" Shanrou took two steps back and lowered her face deeply: "The slave is fine, the slave and the maid will make a cup of tea for the princess to calm her nerves." ”

Kyaukyue nodded, and Shanrou stepped back.

The freshly brewed apricot blossom tea is full of aroma. It's just that there is one more thing in the tea, and when the princess sees that person again, even if it feels a little familiar, she will not remember the past. Watching the thirsty Kyaukyue drink the tea. Shanrou couldn't bear to turn her head and cast her gaze on the endless starry sky.

Just wanted to take a break, suddenly the horse neighed under the post house, and it spread far away in the quiet night.

Who is it, the heart is beating so fast all of a sudden. Kyaukyue leaned out of the window, looking expectantly at the bright torches in the distance, trying to see if there was such a familiar figure.

"Princess, it's going to catch a cold." Seonjou tugged at her sleeve. Is it him, I can hear his voice now, why is he suddenly a little sleepy? Kyaukyue suddenly felt a little groggy, and Shanrou helped her to the agarwood bed.

Feeling something, Bo Yan looked up at the open window, the candlelight was through, and it was still swaying in the wind. Outside the window, there was a familiar voice from Kyaukyue, "There is Lord Lao." In the neighing of the war horses, the chaotic footsteps faded away.

"Princess, you're awake." Kyaukyue, who opened her eyes slightly, was helped up by Shanrou. For some reason, Shanrou's gaze was a little dodgy.

When the princess finished eating, the family immediately set off. It's just that there is an extra young man in purple among the guards in front of the sedan car.

"One, two, three······ Nine" bored Jiaoyue counted in the sedan chair, and the sedan curtain secretly opened a thin slit.

"It's strange, yesterday it was eight people, how did it become nine today?" As he spoke, he glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi who was different and imposing. As if a little spiritual, Bo Yan looked back at the sedan chair at the same time.

Making eye contact, the two shook at the same time, and unnaturally quickly avoided each other's gaze. Shanrou hurriedly lowered the bead curtain, "Princess, if you lose your honor like this, you will be laughed at if you spread it." Behind the curtain, Kyaukyue was like a child who had done something wrong and was seen by adults, blushing and heartbeating. Outside the curtain, Bo Yan also had a rich expression. The joy of goodbye, pity, sorrow, melancholy, crowded the whole young face. A red-clothed guard beside him quipped, "Why is it that the face of the military envoy is like a cucumber in June—it will change?" The guards laughed. Bo Yan couldn't cry or laugh, his heart was in turmoil, and these people also added chaos to himself. With a wry smile, he was about to pat the horse forward, when Li Luan next to him pulled the reins: "Don't be surprised, adults, thousands of miles away, it's really lonely, it's inevitable to talk and laugh." Bo Yan nodded, indicating that he did not mean to blame. I was about to have a few words with Li Lan, who was heart-warming next to me. Wen Shichang, who was moving forward, turned back and shouted: "Don't even speak—disturb the princess, I see that you have a few heads that are enough to cut off!" After speaking, as if Boyan indulged his subordinates, he snorted dissatisfiedly. There were horses to go by. Behind him, the guards whispered curses.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Kyaukyue sat there dumbfounded, not saying a word. When she saw the young man in Tsing Yi, an inexplicable shiver ran through her whole body, a feeling that she had never felt before, as if she couldn't remember something important - what was it? Her heart ached. In the dark, I really want to see what I've seen somewhere... Face··· Faint cyan... The more I thought about something, the more my head hurt.

Seeing the princess holding her head in pain, Shanrou hurriedly lifted the bead curtain and shouted: "Stop the sedan chair, stop the sedan chair!" Wen Shi Chang arrived when he heard the sound, and rolled off the horse with a panicked face: "Princess? Shanrou jumped out of it: "The princess seems to have caught a cold last night, and she went to the town in front of her······" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a soft voice: "No need, I'm fine." Keep going. "It's tactful, it's the first time the guards heard Princess Mingyue's voice, and they all admired, and couldn't help but think a little nonsense, "If I can marry such a daughter-in-law at home..." Anyway, what is in my heart is not visible to others.

"This..." Wen Shichang's face was embarrassed, "If the princess has something in her hands, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to explain; But if it goes against the princess's will at this time, the future will not be easy either. Bo Yan sighed, this level of stupidity is really rare, he stepped forward, leaned into Wen Shichang's ear and whispered a few words, Wen Shichang couldn't help but nod, and then ordered loudly: "Continue on the road." The princess was unwell and rested early in the afternoon. The crowd agreed.

"Princess, it doesn't matter to you, do you?" Shanrou's anxious voice sounded in her ears, and the regained calm Jiaoyue smiled slightly: "I'm fine." But in his heart, he was thinking about the bright and complicated eyes of the young man the moment the bead curtain was opened.

"Lord Envoy, why are you so preoccupied?" Li Lan got closer, although this military envoy was young, he had a heroic aura in every move, which made people feel respectful. However, the inexplicable look on the face of this newcomer has been lingering, and it has been seen by everyone, and with few words, everyone has a lot to talk about.

Bo Yan put away his thoughts, took the water bag handed by Li Lan, took a few sips, and replied casually: "It's okay, just think about those itineraries." Li Lan knew that it was a prevarication, so it was difficult to ask again. On the contrary, Bo Yan asked again: "How far is it from Yumen Pass here?" "It's early!" A gruff voice replied, with a hint of disdain. Looking back, it was a big man from the Northwest. A scar slashed across the entire face, looking indescribably terrifying.

"Your name is Yang Yi?" Bo Yan looked at the entourage list and knew that this Scarface was a well-known marksman.

"Exactly down there." The tone was full of provocation. Yang Yi did have some contempt for the young man in front of him. In his opinion, this young man is like the son of a prince and nobleman in Kyoto, who is idle all day long, relying on his family to find a good errand, but in fact, he has no real ability, and he is naturally unaccustomed to being a commoner.

"If there is something in the family, it is better to go back now, so as to save yourself being bedridden after a long journey, and we will have to serve you then." Yang Yi looked arrogant.

"Don't be rude! Apologize to the Envoy! Li Lan knows that only he can suppress this group of ruffians now, but he can only suppress it for a while, and only those with real skills in the army can be respected.

As if deliberately embarrassing Bo Yan, Yang Yi stood steadily, staring at Bo Yan with his head held high, and sneered repeatedly, as if to say, "Do you dare to compete with me?" ”

Bo Yan smiled coldly, today this soldier ** made it clear that he would not be able to get off the stage. The forbidden army has strict military discipline, if it is just a guard, it should not be so bold, needless to say that someone must be behind it. The only one who could just move a few of their imperial guards was Wen Shichang. You don't have to think about it to know that the chief of literature and history has no merit and finally got on such an errand, and he was afraid that he, a hairy boy, would steal the credit and deliberately embarrass himself.

"What are you trying to do?" Without looking at Li Luan's direct look, Bo Yan asked calmly.

Yang Yi didn't answer, and raised his hand to be an arrow. In a group of wild geese returning from the north to the south, a proud goose in the sky fell down with a wail, and someone in front had already gone to pick it up, and everyone couldn't help but gasp, and the arrow was in the middle of the slender neck.

Li Lan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. This military envoy didn't know the details, and when he came up, he compared arrows with the veteran soldier. Who doesn't know that Yang Yi was shooting rats on horseback at the age of six and practicing his skills, and he is a master among the masters. If this adult loses, no, he will definitely lose, after all, he is his own top boss, and he has no face, and it will not be good if he gives them these little guards and shoes to wear in the future.

He coughed lightly, and Ning Ren took the longbow from Yang Yi's hand: "Yang Duwei is good at martial arts, presumably the martial arts of the martial envoy are not bad." At the end of today, you don't have to take it too seriously. Yang Yi was unwilling, and was about to say something, but was glared back by Li Luan. In the entire team, Yang Yi can not buy anyone's account, but he can't buy Li Lan's. Who is Li Lan? The number one master in the forbidden army, even himself, is ashamed of himself.

Bo Yan is both angry and funny, if he is looked down upon by this group of people today, if he encounters any danger in the future, he is afraid that he will never move again. but one by one they refused to obey the discipline······ Let your eyes be opened!

He took the longbow from his back, pointed to it, and said, "This is a gift from my master, if I lose, I will give it to you!" Looking at that bow, Li Lan's eyes were straight, I was afraid that it was a strong bow of a thousand stones, could he really pull it?

While everyone was surprised, Bo Yan took out five arrows from the quiver, swung them out one after another, drew his bow, and shot them at the geese that had turned into black spots.

The five arrows flew out like meteors, like a silver thread reaching into the sky. The five geese in the wild goose team fell in unison. When I picked it up, the arrow was deeply inserted into each goose's head!

Yang Yi was drenched in cold sweat and knelt on the ground: "The villain doesn't know that the martial arts envoy has a unique skill, so he rashly contradicts it, and hopes to forgive his sins." ”

Bo Yan accepted it when he saw it, and helped him up: "My own brother, I have to rely on Brother Yang more in the future." Hundreds of onlookers all admired, only Wen Shi saw him in the limelight, a little unhappy, and walked straight away.

A figure fell silently beside him. Huo Ran turned around, and there was a familiar person standing next to the sedan chair. Although the tulle was masked, he still saw the burning gaze of the other party. "Is that you?" Bo Yan asked silently with his eyes. In the clear eyes, there was confusion.

It shouldn't be, Bo Yan is puzzled, it is obviously the Yiren in front of him, why does it seem so strange? Even though she knew that she would not be together in this life, even if she hoped that she would forget about herself earlier, in her heart, she had been looking forward to her silent joy when she met again. Is it really the will of heaven that even if you stand in front of you, you won't recognize each other?

"Princess, get on the sedan chair quickly, today, the wind is strong." Of the people who knelt on the ground, only the young man in front of him stood still, staring at the princess stupidly. Shanrou helped the princess onto the sedan chair and glanced at this person deeply. It turned out to be him······ sighed silently in his heart, and disappeared into the bead curtain with the graceful figure.

"Let's go." The voice of the celebrant in front of him could be heard far away.

Only one man remained, standing silently on the side of the road. With him, there was only a lonely figure.

In less than half an hour, the maid lifted the curtain: "Hey, the princess wants to listen to the story!" ”

The people who were laughing were taken aback, and hurriedly dodged, pushing and waving their hands, indicating that they were really powerless. With a light snort, the maid turned a pretty face to Bo Yan, "It's just you." ”

Ignoring the people who were watching the jokes on the sidelines, Bo Yan thought for a while, "Just tell a story about a boy and a girl." ”

Behind the bead curtain, the maid pouted, "It's so cheesy", but Jiaoyue smiled: "Just listen to this cheesy story." ”

A low, slightly hoarse voice sounded on the side of the sedan chair: "Once upon a time, a boy and his mother depended on each other, and the boy's father treated them very badly. Every day he would starve, every day he would be scolded, but he would never cry. His mother's love is his only umbrella, no matter how stormy it is, his mother will hold him in her arms and protect him. If there was nothing to eat, the mother would use her dowry to buy him something to eat, and even when she was sick, she would force herself to keep the boy from knowing. When the boy called his mother one morning, as he usually did, his mother had long since left him forever. ”

Since then, the boy has been wandering, he doesn't know where to go. All he knew was that he couldn't fall, because he had promised his mother that he would definitely go back to see her. I don't know how many miles he walked, I don't know how much he suffered, he fainted hungry in a quiet village. A good Samaritan in the village saved him, and from then on, he made it his home. ”

One day, while he was stammering under a tree, a girl flashed out and giggled at him. At that time, he hid her deep in his heart, and to this day, that girl is all the memories of his life. ”

"I can remember that when he was first punished for starvation, it was the girl who handed him a bowl of hot noodles; When he sat alone, it was the girl who was always by his side; When there was no one to talk about the misery in his heart, it was the girl who listened quietly and looked at him sympathetically..."

"One day, under that big tree, he looked at the girl and said word by word: 'I will protect you for the rest of your life'······'"

Unconsciously her voice weakened, she pushed open the beaded curtain suddenly, and the princess, who had tears in her eyes, ignored the fall of her veil and asked softly, "Then they ······ What happened in the end? ”

Bo Yan looked at her and said lightly: "There is no end, the story is over." ”

Shanrou looked at the two of them in a daze, and two lines of tears slowly flowed.

In the near night, the team did not rush to the town in front of them, and camped in the vast grassland, sheltering from the wind. The princess's tent was in the very center, surrounded by the guards.

After patrolling the camp as usual, Bo Yan did not alarm the guards, and lay quietly in a mountain col alone. Looking at the starry stars, I remembered that childhood was a vision of a better future, and I remembered my vow to protect my life in the petals flying in the sky. I couldn't help but feel confused in my heart.

Some subtle footsteps came from behind him, "Who?" A cold light flashed in Bo Yan's hand, and he turned sideways and left his original position.

With a faint sigh, a masked woman walked towards him.

"It turned out to be the princess's maid." Puzzled in his heart, Bo Yan suddenly became alert, "What are you doing here?" How's the princess? ”

The veiled man told him coldly that the princess had forgotten the past and would never remember anything about him again. I hope he won't try to make her recall everything in the future, all the things that should be said have been said, Shanrou turned around, and couldn't bear to see the lost soul of the man in front of her, but in her heart, she asked herself over and over again, did she really do it right?

"So she forgot about me, really forgot." The man muttered and repeated, his face ashen. "Is it the best ending?" He remembered Master's words before leaving. "Thank you." Bo Yan didn't look back, and strode towards the brightly lit camp.

"Stop!" Shanyu's lips turned pale, almost bloodless. A low voice echoed around the two of them, clutching the antidote, "Don't you love her?" ”

"I like her," Bo Yan looked at her, with a layer of mist in his clear eyes, as if he said categorically to his heart, "It is precisely because I like her that I choose to leave, choose to stay by her side silently, and look at her quietly." With that, he didn't look back, leaving Shanrou standing there.

"It turns out that among men, there are also such infatuated people." She smiled suddenly. Three years ago, the same eternal oath came to mind-I just wanted to find a reason to hate him for so many years, but in fact, in my heart, I had already forgiven him.
