Although the Xiao Guo Mansion is large, there is no backyard of intrigue, and there are only four masters, so the lime has a very comfortable life in the Xiao Guo Mansion.

Lime is most often seen by Xiao Shiqian, the second young man who has known her since childhood, and in the ten years in the Yuan Valley, Xiao Shiqian often came to see her, and Xiao Shiqian was also one of the few people who knew her true identity.

Xiao Shizhi, the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, but Lime knows very little, not only her, but even Xiao Shiqian, the eldest brother who gets along day and night, also doesn't know much, which can't help but make Lime more curious about this mysterious big brother.

As the sun sets, the whole garden is warm, and the lime sits by the pond, enjoying a rare comfort.

According to Su Yan's custom, the woman was fifteen years old and the maid was married.

The third lady is seventeen years old, which is the marriageable age.

Xiao Guogong is a very popular minister, and the two sons of the Guogong Mansion also hold important positions and have a bright future. If you can form a relationship with the Xiao Guo Mansion, it is equivalent to getting a great boost, which is beneficial and harmless to your career.

It is precisely because of this that several ministers in the DPRK and China couldn't bear to come to the door to propose marriage for their sons, but they didn't expect to be blocked back by Xiao Guogong one by one.

Lime smiled secretly in her heart, even if Xiao Guogong intends to marry a daughter, he still needs to pass the emperor's level, the power of the Guogong Mansion is huge, how can the emperor allow him to form an alliance with others and become a potential threat to himself.

After basking in the sun, Lime got up and went back to Sakura Pavilion, and met Xiao Shizhi who looked hurried, Lime pretended to be cordial and stepped forward to call out to the eldest brother, but he only got a nod from Xiao Shizhi.

Lime slandered in his heart, Xiao Shizhi didn't know his true identity, he was so cold to his own sister, it was really impersonal.

After dinner time, before it got dark, Lime ordered someone to set up a few small dishes and cups in the courtyard, and today she made an appointment with Xiao Shiqian to have a wine here.

didn't wait for Xiao Shiqian, but waited for a son, dressed luxuriously and extraordinary.

The jar of old wine that the man was holding had not yet been opened, and it was already full of aroma and fragrance.

Lime looked at the man in a gorgeous dress, wondering who he was. The man's eyes were full of smiles, and his face was full of undisguised joy, as if he had known each other for a long time.

Feeling the gaze of Yu'er, who had not been seen for many years, Fang Han couldn't help but smile and let her look at him.

After a long time, Fang Han stepped forward slowly, his tone was full of doting, "What, don't you recognize it?" ”

Looking at the man who was gradually approaching him, Lime was very puzzled, who was this person, what was the relationship with Manxue, and why he had never heard Manxue mention it.

Suddenly, the jade pendant on the man's waist caught Lime's attention, it was a dragon-shaped jade pendant made from the world's rare ice jade.

Lime knew in his heart that there was only one person in the world who wore this thing.

Lime lowered her eyes, hiding the complexity in her eyes.

When Yu Yuangu regained his memory, the only thing that came to his mind was the day when the palace was destroyed ten years ago, in his memory, a team of iron cavalry rushed into the palace, followed by flames, screaming one after another.

Over the next eight years, she reminisced about her childhood, and the more she remembered, the more obsessive she became. She borrowed the hands of her master and brother to cultivate her own power, and there was only one thing she wanted to investigate, and that was the truth of what happened back then.

She didn't believe that her father would rebel, she never did.

In my memory, the iron cavalry army that took the lives of more than 100 people in Yiwangfu's mansion belonged directly to the first emperor Fang Jing, and the person in front of him was the third son of the first emperor Fang Jing, Fang Han, who was the emperor of the dynasty.

"A cup of madness, a rancid party, the drunkard emperor, the forbidden Hanlang." This is a nursery rhyme that can often be heard on the way from Yuangu to Yanjing City, Lime looked at the old wine he was holding in his arms, and the nursery rhyme did not insult him.

Her constantly changing complexion made Fang Han very puzzled, she thought she would be ecstatic to see her, but she didn't expect her to react like this.

Fang Han stepped forward and put the fragrant osmanthus brew in his arms on the stone table, he bent down, held the pair of tenderness of the person who haunted him in his palm, and said softly, "Yu'er, what's wrong?" ”

Lime looked up at the concerned face, and a touch of disgust crossed her heart.

Lime hurriedly got up, quietly withdrew his hand, and saluted, "Courtier Xiao Shiyu see the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." The courtiers didn't know that the emperor had arrived, so they asked the emperor to punish him. ”

"Hurry up." Fang Han held Lime's hands and helped her up, placed her on the stone bench, and said with a smile, "How can you ever follow the rules like this, you haven't seen you for ten years, how can you be alienated from me." ”

"The emperor is the king, and the courtiers don't dare to make a mistake." Lime lowered her head, her tone was as flat as water, but her eyes were fierce.

"Yu'er, you've already prepared the food and drinks, but did you guess that I came to visit you today, are you waiting for me?" Seeing a table of wine and food that was not sumptuous but very exquisite, Fang Han was suddenly in a good mood and couldn't help but tease.

"The courtiers are terrified, how dare the courtiers speculate on the holy will, and the emperor forgives the sins." Hearing Fang Han's words, Lime quickly got up and pleaded guilty.

"Oh, this table of wine and food is not prepared for me, is Yu'er waiting for someone else?" Fang Han's eyes were full of smiles, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked pretending to be angry, "Who is it, heavier than me?" ”

"In the whole world, naturally no one is more noble than the emperor." Lime hung her head, and although she was resistant in her heart, she still replied smoothly.

Listening to this watertight answer, Fang Han felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he hadn't seen him for ten years, was she so alienated from herself?

Although Fang Han thought so, this thought was quickly diluted by the joy of her return, "Yu'er, the place where you are recuperating is really remote, and none of the people I sent out have found any news of you. ”

Fang Han brewed the osmanthus and opened it, and the intoxicating aroma of wine instantly overflowed, and the courtyard was fragrant. Greedily smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, Fang Han poured two jade cups full of wine and handed one of them to the lime.

"Your Majesty." Respectfully taking the glass of wine handed over by Fang Han, Lime replied in a panic, "The emperor said that he was laughing, how can the courtiers let the emperor bother." Besides, how can there be anything in the world that can be hidden from the emperor, the courtiers just live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to recuperate, and have not come down the mountain for ten years, so there is no news of the courtiers. ”

"I see." Fang Han picked up the wine glass, put it under his nose and sniffed it, his tone was full of joy, "This osmanthus brew was buried under the begonia tree in the harem by my own hands when you left ten years ago, thinking that when you come back, I will taste it with you." ”

"The emperor is very fond of it, and the courtiers are flattered." Lime lowered her eyes, her tone was still flat, and she didn't care at all.

"You've changed a lot in the past ten years." Fang Han took a sip of osmanthus brew, only in front of her, he would be so unscrupulous, "How are you doing?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, the courtiers are fine." The fragrance of osmanthus wine strikes, but it can't hit the indifference of the girl.

Looking at this woman who made him miss in every way, Fang Han was a little stunned, he had imagined countless times how she would react when he appeared in front of her.

He thought that she might cry with joy, or maybe she would rush to hug him as she had been when she was a child, but he never thought that she would be so indifferent, thousands of miles away.

In the past ten years, what has happened has made her miss the affection of the year.

Thinking back to the happy times with her when he was a child, he still didn't believe that the girl who had to stick to him every day would be so cold and alienated from him.

Fang Han adjusted his mood and asked, "Do you remember that year, the two of us secretly drank the long-cherished Western domain wine Baihua Yulu that our father had treasured, and smashed my father's wine cellar. ”

Looking at the words in front of him with his head bowed and not saying a word, Fang Han felt a little happy in his heart, was his words shy. Before he had time to think about it, Fang Han continued, "You have been sticking to me since you were a child, shouting every day that you want to marry me when you grow up. You didn't like to read when you were young, Xiao Guogong asked you to dress up as a man to be my scholar in order to let you read more, but even so, you are still playful and difficult to change. It wasn't until I told you that I wouldn't marry a woman without talent or virtue that you were willing to study with me. ”

"The emperor forgives the sins." When he heard that Fang Han no longer called himself me, but called himself me, Lime frowned slightly, and his heart was even more irritable, no matter what, he just didn't want to listen to it anymore. Lime got up and wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but was stopped by Fang Han.

"Yu'er, what are you doing here?" Stopping her who was about to kneel, Fang Han was full of doubts, "What's wrong?" ”

"Please forgive the emperor." Lime sighed lightly, as if she didn't want to mention the past again, "Ten years ago, the courtier's daughter suffered from a brain disease, and after being cured, she has forgotten everything in the past. The past mentioned by the emperor is not remembered by the courtiers. I was able to recognize the emperor just now, just because of the jade pendant worn by the emperor, please forgive the emperor. ”

"What did you say, don't you remember?" Listening to Lime's words, the shock in Fang Han's heart was incomprehensible, it turned out that her indifference and alienation to him was all because she didn't remember anything.

He looked at the woman in front of him with pity, his tone was full of self-blame and firmness, "I haven't been able to be by your side for ten years, it will be the regret of my life." But Yu'er, every day of your life, I will be there. ”

Fang Han's words made Lime very surprised, she guessed that there was an old love between Fang Han and Man Xue, but she didn't expect that Fang Han's love was so deep.

Lime lowered her eyes and bowed, "The emperor is very loving, and the courtiers are afraid." It's just that the status of the courtiers is low, and she is not worthy of the emperor. The courtiers suddenly felt unwell, afraid that they would snub the emperor, and asked the emperor to move to her father's place and let her father entertain the emperor well. ”

"Not feeling well? What is the discomfort, is it the root cause of the brain disease? Do I need to be seen by a doctor? Hearing Yu'er say that he was unwell, Fang Han was a little anxious at the moment, and in a hurry, he forgot that the Xiao family was a family of medicine.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry about the courtiers, the Xiao family is already a doctor, although the courtiers have left home since they were young, they also know a little medical skills, and the courtiers' bodies are fine, just rest more." Lime made a weak look and wanted Fang Han to leave quickly.

"I actually forgot that the Xiao family is a doctor, let the maid help you in to rest, Xiao Guogong's side, I will go by myself." Fang Han didn't want to leave so early, but after looking at the delicate person, he couldn't bear to disturb her rest, thinking about the coming day, Fang Chang was not in a hurry, "Come on, help Miss San to rest." ”

"The courtiers send off the emperor." Lime saluted, and after watching Fang Han walk away, he returned to the room with the support of the maid.

The sky is getting dark, Xiao Shiqian has not yet come to the appointment, Lime can't help but be a little puzzled, Xiao Shiqian has always been a punctual person, why is it so late today?

When Lime was about to order someone to warm the wine and food, the maid Caihe came from the outer room, "Miss, just now the second young master sent someone to say that the second young master can't come today." ”

"Well, you go down." Lime nodded, thinking that the second brother had important business today and couldn't go to the appointment.

Leaning on the edge of the bed, Lime looks lazy, but her eyes are very sharp, at this hour, Manxue should come back.

The eyeliner cultivated by lime over the years has been hidden everywhere in Suyan, and now it has formed a certain scale, and today Manxue was sent by Lime to collect news.

There was a rustling sound by the window, and then a woman followed the window into the inner room, and it was the snow.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" After lime led the snow into the screen, he handed over a set of clothes, "Go take a bath first, change your clothes, and I'll go and tell my subordinates to prepare a meal." ”

"Okay." Man Xue took the shirt, looked at the blue dress she had always liked, and smiled happily. Raising his forearm, he sniffed his own body, then frowned and muttered, "It really stinks." ”

Out of the screen, I smelled an intoxicating aroma of wine, the wine into the stomach, the lips and teeth are fragrant, it is actually the osmanthus brew that has been treasured for many years, "Where did my sister get the aged osmanthus brew, so intoxicating." ”

"Xue'er, Fang Han is here today." Lime said lightly while serving the snow cloth vegetables.

Hearing this, Man Xue's movements in his hands stiffened slightly. And her stiffness let Lime know that she probably had a cold heart in her heart.
