After Gu Nian, the county lord of Jingning, who was originally kneeling in front of the eldest princess of the Protector Country, came in, his eyes kept falling on her face, and his eyes were red.

After Gu Nian knelt down, he looked at Jing Ning with teary eyes.

"Mother......" she muttered.

The Jingning County Lord's lips trembled slightly, looking at the person kneeling in front of him with hazy eyes and tears, and carefully called softly.

"Nian Nian ......"

Gu Nian couldn't hold back any longer, walked a few steps on his knees, and sobbed on Fu Jingning's knees.

Jing Ning had clearly seen Gu Nian many times, and her face could be clearly described in her mind, but she still stroked Gu Nian's thick hair,

"Is this my thought?"

As she spoke, she hugged Gu Nian in her arms.

"Mother......" Gu Nian burst into tears, and the hand that was originally stiff hanging down at her side couldn't help but hug the Jingning County Lord who was hugging her tightly.

She thought that with her grandmother's love and her father's selfless care, she no longer longed for her mother's love.

Now, lost and regained, mother, this sense of attachment comes from blood, and it makes her feel safe in her heart.

When their mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, Xiao Yue looked at Gu Shi'an, Gu Shi'an stood aside with his hands folded, and there was a quiet smile on his face.

The eldest princess of the country kept wiping her tears with her hands.

Probably feeling Xiao Yue's gaze, Gu Shi'an turned his eyes and looked at him, without speaking, but looked at Xiao Yue with puzzled eyes.

Xiao Yue also didn't speak, they were reluctant to break this long-lost reunion, the joy of regain.

He raised his eyebrows, his lips did not move, and he looked at the past with a condemning look, without any warning, let Nian Nian be so sad, is it something that his own father can do?

Gu Shi'an felt the condemnation from Xiao Yue, and he didn't expect it to be so hasty.

For Jing Ning, he didn't want to force her at all, so he let her recognize her when she wanted.

In the end, Jing Ning is still reluctant to give up her daughter.

It was not in vain that during this time, he said in front of her that his daughter was frightened, how pitiful she looked.

Sadness is followed by joy, excitement, and joy.

This reunion contains too many emotions and too many stories.

Gu Nian was like a child, sitting on the foot pedal in front of the couch, leaning on Jing Ning's side, holding her and refusing to let go.

With tears in his eyes, the county lord of Jingning stroked her hair, and smiled at Xiao Yue, "Thinking of this child, let the prince worry." ”

"Nian Nian is very good, she is my wife." Xiao Yue replied respectfully.

Jing Ning held her daughter in her arms, and three women from two generations gathered around and said something considerate.

Although the three of them have changed a lot, the blood and family relationship is so easy to break, and the sense of alienation slowly fades.

The eldest princess of the Protectorate had red and swollen eyes, and suddenly slapped Jing Ning's shoulder twice, and said hatefully, "You child, you don't know how to come to find your mother, you have been wandering outside for so many years, you are scratching my heart." ”

"Mother, Ah Li finally came back, if you have something to say, what are you doing scolding her......" Gu Shi'an hurriedly persuaded on the side.

"You're used to being a good person." The eldest princess glared at him.

For a while, Zhou Yuyan came over with Chen'er, and An Yuanhou and Zhou Yuxuan also came back from outside.

Hearing the news inevitably wet my eyes.

This night's dinner was served with wine, and it was eaten until the end of the day.

Not only did the eldest princess of the protector drink wine, but even Xu Er was allowed to take a sip of pear blossom white.

Xu'er didn't expect that the person who broke with him in order to save him turned out to be his maternal grandmother.

The people at the table cried and laughed, time sometimes went back to the past, and sometimes leaped into the future, no one mentioned why Jing Ning disappeared, and no one mentioned the intrigues behind it.

No one even said what the future holds.

Right now, the most important thing is to reunite after the catastrophe.

Gu Nian also drank too much, her heart was full, and she felt that her whole body was full of strength.

She can't wait to tell the whole world one by one that she also has a mother......

"Ah Yue, I'm really happy." The banquet was dispersed, and it was getting late.

In the past, Gu Nian's courtyard in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion was still empty, and the eldest princess of the protectorate sent someone to guard it, and the furnishings inside were not moved, and they were cleaned every day, so that Gu Nian could come back to live at any time.

Xu Er couldn't stay up a long time ago, so she was taken back to the yard by Yang Shun to rest.

Gu Nian leaned on Xiao Yue's arms, looked up at Xiao Yue with his face up, grinning.

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "I know." ”

"I'm really happy."

"yes, I know."

"Today is the happiest day." Gu Nian came out of Xiao Yue's arms, lit his toes, and danced gently under the moon.

Xiao Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, watching Gu Nian's toes continue to tap, the skirt swayed with her swing, and under the moonlight, it was like a fairy who landed in the mortal world.

He didn't stop the fairy in front of him, but his eyes moved motionlessly with her movements.

Gu Nian's face was red, like a peach blossom in full bloom.

Her eyes were watery and misty, and she looked particularly endearing.

She kept spinning, spinning and spinning, like a fairy flying.

Until the fairy got tired of jumping, she returned to his arms and rubbed her face against his chest.

Xiao Yue was the first time he had seen such a gaffe Gu Nian, watching her rub in his arms like a small animal.

His heart felt like it was gently brushed by something soft, and he lifted her restless chin, lowered his head and gently branded a kiss on it, and finally tossed and turned, and tossed and turned.

The banquet dispersed, and they each went back to their rooms to rest, but Jing Ning and Gu Shi'an had not dispersed yet.

Jing Ning sat in the room where she once lived, and outside the door, Gu Shi'an was giving a, and the sound of the flute was long and long.

It was her favorite song of the year.

Through the sound notes, she seemed to see the years when the two of them were together again.

She opened the door and walked out.

He sat on the railing under the porch, one leg bent, the other hanging on the edge of the porch, leaning against the thick pillars, his tall figure seemed to merge with the pillars.

She sat down across from him, hugging her bent legs, and looked at the moon shadow in front of her.

He stood up and entered the house, and after a while he held a thin cloak in his hand, "It's cold at night, you be careful." ”

Jing Ning lowered her head and pulled her cloak and looked at the cool moonlight in the courtyard, "You can have a better person to accompany you through the rest of your life, we ......"

Gu Shi'an's hands paused slightly, then hugged her and leaned against the pillar behind him,

"I already have a wife, how can I want another woman?"

He was pleased with her, like a teenager.

Thinking of the days when the two got married, they were like glue, and they couldn't wait to end up in vain.

He leaned down slightly, moving his lips to hers.

The long-lost fragrance enters the lips and teeth.

Half-loud, he squeezed her hand and let her lean on his body,

"If you mind your face, when Zhang Chunzi returns to Beijing, we will let him see, his medical skills are very good.

However, I want to tell you that no matter what you become, you are still you.

I like you, it has nothing to do with your figure, it has nothing to do with your looks.

It's because you are you. ”

Jing Ning leaned on him, and neither of them spoke anymore, just watching the stars shine in the sky, letting time flow in their ears.

Jing Ning felt like she was searching for the past.

This love and mutual understanding have been missing for nearly 20 years, and she can't vent all her feelings without scruples like 20 days apart.

She didn't confess to him, just got along quietly with him, and there was no more contact, but during this time, his company, that long-lost sense of familiarity and intimacy were still constantly awakened.

……

The next day, when Gu Nian woke up, the place next to her was empty, and she was the only one left.

The sun outside has risen high, the temperature has begun to rise, brushing away the coolness of the night, and the whole capital has become like a hot steamer.

There was a bronze ice book around the room, and the ice cubes in the ice book had almost melted away, and no new ones had been added, but the air in the room was cool and uncomfortably stuffy.

Gu Nian sat in a daze, she was so happy yesterday, she drank a lot of wine, how did she come here in the end? She didn't even remember.

I just remember that I was very happy, as if I was going to flutter.

After sitting for a while, she tried to get up, but found that her legs were a little weak, and her feet were on the pedals in front of the bed, weak and weak.

How do you go out to meet people like this?

Especially, this is still my grandmother's house, and I haven't gone to say hello to my grandmother, so I really don't have the face to see anyone.

Gu Nian thought hatefully.

The maid waiting outside the door heard the voice, knocked lightly on the door, and after receiving a reply, came in with toiletries.

Aoba came over with clean clothes, and saw the princess sitting in front of the bed with her long hair scattered and looking depressed.

After washing, Gu Nian didn't know if it was breakfast or lunch, and just about to go to the eldest princess of the protectorate, he saw Bai Feng come in.

She was still dressed as a maid, and when she saw Gu Nian, she said,

"What the hell is this weather in the Central Plains, such a heat, it's really not as comfortable as ours. It's cool in the mountains. ”

Because of the recognition of his mother the day before, he left Bai Feng behind.

When she saw Bai Feng, she felt a little guilty, she grabbed Bai Feng's hand and said softly, "This is the backyard, my cousin is not easy to come, I will take you to the study, I will let someone invite my cousin, and he will come over in a while." ”

Bai Feng followed to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, just to see Zhou Yuxuan, her face showed a look of both expectation and apprehension, she said entangledly,

"Brother Xuan asked me not to look for him, he will naturally come back to look for me if he has something......"

Gu Nian grabbed her hand tighter, "Actually, I have some things I have always wanted to say to you, but I don't know how to say them. ”

"Bai Feng, I think you should know very well in your heart that if you and my cousin want to achieve positive results, it will be very difficult.

You are a Lingnan Miao woman, and my cousin is a nobleman of the capital Gaomen. As far as I know, up to now, there has been no interracial marriage except for relatives. ”

She paused and looked at Bai Feng with pity, "In the past few days you have been here in the palace, I have taken you to a banquet, you should have seen it."

Don't say that the family only sees each other, it is the same family, and the blood is close, there will be deceit, intrigue, and even some to the point of cannibalism.

You should be able to imagine how sinister the battle between the two gates is, not to mention that your family may not be willing to let you go all the way to marry my cousin.

As far as the entertainment between women and dependents is concerned, it is not something that you can afford if you are simple and straightforward. ”

Bai Feng bowed her head and said nothing, she was still wearing the old clothes of Aoba today, which showed that she looked extremely lonely.

Gu Nian sighed, "I think, my cousin has never responded to your feelings, there should be this reason, he has always been a responsible and responsible man, and he doesn't do things that he is not sure of."

If he responds to you, but in the end he can't give you happiness, or after being reluctantly together, he makes you suffer all kinds of grievances, it is actually a kind of harm to you.

My cousin definitely doesn't want to hurt you. ”

She looked straight at Bai Feng, "I like you very much, and I am also touched by your persistence and deep love for your cousin.

I want my cousin to be happy, so I can't help but stand on your side and help you.

However, I actually know very well in my heart that there seems to be a deep gap between you and your cousin.

If you rush forward without any preparation, there is only one dead end, and you will be crushed.

If you are really together, then you will go through many, many tests, pressures from all sides.

It's really hard for one of the two of you to have to give up his old life......"

Although she didn't spend a lot of time with Bai Feng, she liked Bai Feng's character very much, so she persuaded her so hard, hoping that she could wake up.

"I know." Bai Feng interrupted Gu Nian's words.

I saw Bai Feng pursing his lips, stubbornly holding his head high, and looking at Gu Nian, "Niannian, I know that you said that this is all for my good, I know, I also know that it takes a lot to be with Brother Xuan."

I understand the difficulties you mentioned, and when I was at home, it was because of these that my father and brothers did not agree that I was with Brother Xuan.

However, I like him, even though I know that there is so much suffering in front of me, I still like him.

Even if I know that he has a person in his heart, maybe there is no such strong love for me in this life, I still want to be with him. ”

She held her head high, a beautiful smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, her gaze was firm, shining with incomparable brilliance,

"Brother Xuan and I only see a good chasm, as you said, if you move forward rashly, neither he nor I will have any good results.

So, he just has to stand there and wait for me, and I'll do everything I can to get to him.

I like him, even if I smash it with one foot in the air, so what?

I like him and I'm willing to do everything for him. ”

Her voice was crisp, her face shone with the same radiance, and her eyes were almost painful, but for some reason, she could hear the determination of a moth to a flame.

Gu Nian looked at Bai Feng in a daze, and said softly, "For your determination, I am willing to help you, I believe that one day, my cousin will see everything you have done, as well as your fiery heart." ”

She paused and asked, "How do you know that your cousin has a sweetheart?" I know why you still like him? ”

Bai Feng laughed lightly, "What's so hard to know, although I'm stupid, I'm not blind." ”

Her tone turned slightly, and a slight glint bloomed in her eyes, "Not only do I know that he has a sweetheart, but I also know who his sweetheart is." ”

She looked at Gu Nian with a little tangled eyes, bit her lip, and said, "Isn't it you who he put in his heart?" ”

"Don't ask me how I know.

I believe that as long as you are not blind, stupid, or nerd, you can see that Brother Xuan likes you.

When his eyes look at you, as I look at him, love overflows.

None of this had anything to do with me, though, and I just hated myself for knowing him too late.

If he knew me first, there would be nothing to do with you. ”

These words sound poignant.

For Bai Feng's mood at the moment, Gu Nian could understand it, and her tone became softer and softer, "Yes, who you like is your own business, and what does it have to do with others." ”

Outside the door, Zhou Yuxuan stood there, with a long body and a straight back, like a javelin.

These two extreme temperaments are blended together to form a peculiar charm.

At the moment, he was holding something behind his back with one hand and the other

He was about to go in, but when he heard Bai Feng's words, he froze there motionless, looking at the thick curtain with a tangled and complicated gaze.

Hearing the inner confession of a woman who loves herself, her determination to be with her even more than to be with her is so shocking.

She said that even if she was willing to die to be with him, the huge impact was something that no man could bear.

He had countless things he wanted to say in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Bai Feng is a good girl, but he is not a pure person anymore. She didn't mind that he had someone in his heart, but he minded.

If you can't love such a woman with all your heart, it is blasphemy against her.

can let him let go of a person who has been pretending to be in his heart for more than 20 years, and he can't do it.

He looked at the pastries in his hand, which was when Bai Feng entered Beijing on his first day, and saw that he wanted to eat it.

He frowned slightly, turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he happened to run into Aoba coming over.

"Young Master Cousin, the princess and the white girl are inside."

Before Aoba's words fell, the door curtain was lifted, and then Bai Feng's smiling face appeared at the door, "Brother Xuan, you are here." ”

Zhou Yuxuan smiled gently at Bai Feng, and said with a little helplessness, "It's Niannian who asked me to come over, are you okay these days?" ”

He entered the study from Bai Feng's side and smiled when he saw Gu Nian.

Gu Nian was a little apprehensive at this time, and he didn't know that what he had just said was going to happen from time to time, so he called out a little embarrassedly, "Cousin." ”

There are things that we don't tell each other, not because we don't know, but because we don't want to say them.

Because if you don't say it, you may still have a false illusion in your heart and a faint hope, but once you say it and tear this thin layer of paper, then some things can no longer be delayed.

Either rush forward together, live together, die together.

Either step back and keep a safe distance.

Zhou Yuxuan smiled at Gu Nian and said, "Niannian, the errand assigned by the emperor has almost been done, I originally went to the palace to find you in two days, but it happened that you came over, so it was saved." ”

"How? Isn't it nice that my aunt is back? He asked with a smile.

Gu Nian nodded, "Yes, I can't tell the world that I have a mother." ”

Zhou Yuxuan chuckled lightly and said, "Nian Nian, please go out first, Bai Feng and I have a few words to say." All right? ”

Gu Nian's heart suddenly burst and felt uneasy, she looked at Zhou Yuxuan, and then at Bai Feng, who only had Zhou Yuxuan in her eyes, and whispered, "Cousin, if you have something to say, don't hurt others." ”

Zhou Yuxuan nodded with a smile, "Don't worry." ”

Gu Nian retreated, closed the door of the study, and retreated to the courtyard with the maids.

In the study, Bai Feng blinked and looked at Zhou Yuxuan, "Brother Xuan, what do you want to say to me?" ”

With a slight smile on his face, Zhou Yuxuan said softly, "You sit down, let's talk." ”

After that, he poured her a cup of tea very carefully and put it in front of Bai Feng.

It may be that his demeanor is too natural, his temperament is gentle, and even the smile on his lips is as soft as a spring breeze, just right, without any aggression, which makes people unconsciously unload their hearts from her.

Bai Feng touched the teacup and looked at Zhou Yuxuan, with a silly smile on his face all the time.

"Brother Xuan, what do you want to tell me?" She asked again, even a little eagerly.

Zhou Yuxuan restrained his gentleness just now and said, "Bai Feng, I thank you for saving me that day. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"I also know that you like me very much, but I don't like you."

He closed his eyes and spoke out harshly.

Long pain is better than short pain, since he can't respond, he doesn't want to pretend to be stupid, pretending not to know her feelings, that would be a bit despicable.

Therefore, he could only ruthlessly cut off Bai Feng's feelings for him.

"You know that I have someone in my heart, even if she is married, but I still can't let go of her in my heart.

I don't want you to like such a me, so in two days, I will personally send you to Lingnan. ”

Bai Feng opened his mouth, the person in front of him just now was obviously so kind, but the words he said in the blink of an eye were so ruthless.

She was a little unacceptable.

She said slowly, word by word, "Brother Xuan, what are you talking about, please say it again." ”

Zhou Yuxuan's head was tilted out of the window, and the sun outside the window was fierce, a little white.

He felt that what he said was also so calm, "I don't like you, I'll send you back in two days." ”

Bai Feng stood up with a 'Teng' voice, "Brother Xuan, we have been through so much, aren't you tempted at all?" ”

"I know you have someone in your heart, but I don't care, I believe that in the future, you will slowly like me."

"As long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything."

She said, tears streaming down her face.

She wiped it with her sleeve, but she couldn't finish it, as if a gap had been opened and tears were pouring out.

"But I care, people like me are not worthy of your liking, there are so many good men, worthy of your liking, so ......"

Zhou Yuxuan didn't dare to look at Bai Feng, he was afraid that the tears would make him soften.
