In the fourteenth year of Xinghe, the first day of August.

When people greet their relatives, they are all after dusk.

When the carriage and horses traveled to Changle Fang, the sunset on the stone street was skewed, and the shadow was divided, like a yin and yang separation.

Li Yan stood in the shadow of the eaves along the street, his eyes through the black veil hanging from his hat, over the carriages and horses crossing the street, and landed on the quiet and warm wall of the opposite street.

As the wedding car approached, it slowed down significantly.

Li Yan unconsciously eased his breath and looked closely at the wall.

The breeze greeted the wall, sending the sound of leaves in the wall.

The voice was like a signal, and when it sounded, I saw half a small face poking out of the wall, and then slowly, half of the body poked out.

Black hair is plain clothes, clean and clear, like clear water, but because of the coating of a layer of sunset, the whole person has a faint warmth, the same as in his impression.

It's the same, but it's not the same.

She leaned out halfway, and when she saw the wedding car, she raised her hand and waved it as if she couldn't restrain herself.

He didn't finish his swing, but he retracted sharply.

Not only did he retract his hand, but he also retracted the half of his body that was leaning out.

Hiding behind a wall, but for a moment, he cautiously poked his head out.

—————

This time, I didn't lean out much, just leaned on the wall, stretched my neck and poked out.

It turned out to be unexpectedly naughty and smart.

When Chi Changting was alive, was she such a cute little daughter?

Li Yan couldn't help but think, thinking about it.

The wedding car approached, and a woman in the car shouted happily.

The girl on the wall laughed, and she could feel the joy coming across the street.

Li Yan couldn't help but want to lift the hat to see her more clearly, to see the curvature of the corners of her lips, to see the broken light in her eyes, and to see the lovely dimples on her cheeks.

As soon as her hand moved, the girl lying on the wall suddenly raised her head with a feeling, and her eyes went straight in his direction.

Li Yan stiffened his hand, not knowing whether to show his face to meet her.

However, before he could decide, the girl hid behind the wall as if frightened.

Suddenly, he poked out half of his head and glanced at him, then retracted again.

And then it didn't come again.

The wedding car has passed, and at the end of the day, the wall is covered with obscurity and dimness, and there is no light or people.

Li Yan stared at it for a while, then turned to leave.

didn't take two steps, and then saw Wen Li bowing to meet him: "Your Highness! ”

Li Yan stopped and said "um" as usual, but the gaze that fell on the top of Wenli's head sank suddenly.

After hearing the salute as usual, he straightened up, glanced at the west wall of the pool house as usual, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really kind to the concubine on the side of the pool. ”

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "You go with Lone." ”

"Where are you going?" Wenli asked subconsciously.

Li Yan went straight past him and continued to walk.

Wen Li hurriedly followed, and asked again in a low voice: "Your Highness wants to be slightly served...... Leaving now? ”

"Yes—"

Li Yan turned over on the horse, his face was slightly back, and his eyes swept away.

In the twilight, the house was lonely, and the one he looked at was similar but not quite like his neighbor.

He came to see her, and then, it was time to go.

Ten days ago, Cui Jiu, a member of the Zhongshu House, sent an edict to envoy Anxi to surrender the Turkic rebels.

Lu Zijin was also in the mission.

It is not easy for a woman to be an official, even in the forces close to the East Palace, there is not much help from Lu Zijin, she needs this opportunity.

Li Yan also needs it.

If you lose in Jiangnan, you have to find a chance to make up for it.

He will rush to Yumen Pass to meet Lu Zijin.

There are many ways to surrender, and the most effective is to fight.

Before leaving, he transferred Yan Songyun to the county lieutenant of Wannian, and also left someone to keep an eye on the treacherous Qin Gui, and even Xue Twelve He also gave a few words of advice, he should be able to take care of her.

It's just that this time it's gone, and it's hard to return, but I don't know when I'll see you again......

……

He left Beijing in August and left the customs in November.

When the last Turkic rebel leader surrendered, it was already March of the fourteenth year of Xinghe.

The leader of the rebel tribe was escorted to Beijing to wait for his fate, but Li Yan did not enter Beijing with him, and Ren Wenli did not respond to any persuasion.

Wenli had no choice but to invite Lu Zijin.

Lu Zijin promised to Wen Li, but when he came to Li Yan, he said something else: "Your Highness is out of the customs this time, why did the subordinates of the East Palace bring Wen Sheren alone?" ”

Li Yan was flipping through the roster of local officials, when he heard this, he raised his head, glanced at Lu Zijin, and said lightly: "I remember that Mr. has a lot of connections with the Wen family. ”

Lu Zijin smiled and said, "It's not 'quite', it's just a little related." ”

Wenli lost his father since he was a child, and his uncle who was a subordinate official of Wuxing Wangfu depended on each other.

A few years ago, the uncle and nephew were chased and killed by the Wuxing Palace, and they fled to the capital with the help of Lu Zijin, so they always treated Lu Zijin respectfully.

"What does Sir, think of Wen Li?" Li Yan asked.

Lu Zijin smiled slightly, and said: "Wen Sheren said that His Highness has subdued the Turks, but he has not returned for a long time, I am afraid that there are villains in the court who reverse black and white, let me persuade Your Highness." ”

Li Yan said "um", still looking at her.

Lu Zijin smiled again and said, "Although the Wenshe people are a little self-righteous, they are still loyal to His Highness. ”

Li Yan was noncommittal, and said in a light tone: "When the time comes, I will return to Beijing alone." ”

"When?" Lu Zijin asked.

Li Yan did not answer.

Seven days later, an urgent letter came from the east.

Putting down the letter, Li Yan ordered to return to Beijing.

Wen Li couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Your Highness returned to Beijing with his military exploits this time, and he should also put the big wedding on the agenda, which can be described as double happiness!" ”

Li Yan glanced at him, mounted his horse, raised his whip, and headed back......

……

The day I arrived in Beijing was also the first day of August.

For a whole year.

Still across the street, Li Yan hid in the shadow of the eaves, looking at the wall across the street.

The moon is like water, the branches and shadows tremble, gentle and quiet.

He stared at it for a while, walked slowly to the wall, pressed his palm against the wall, and suddenly wanted to climb over the wall and go in to see.

But as soon as this idea came out, it was pressed.

Not to mention that this behavior is too ridiculous, even if he really went in, the girl didn't live against this wall, and she might not be able to find it-

Even if you find it...... It's ridiculous to find it......

He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.

I was about to leave, but suddenly, I heard a whisper inside the wall, and subconsciously stopped and listened.

At first it was vague and I couldn't hear what was being said.

Until someone mentioned him.

“…… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... "Listening to the voice of ...... city is a young woman."

After the woman finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and then someone asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... Can you get hurt in a war? ”

As soon as Li Yan heard this voice, he felt that he couldn't move his footsteps.

"The girl can write a letter to greet His Royal Highness the Prince." The young woman suggested.

Li Yan's heart was pounding.

Write? It's a good idea.

"This ......" the girl hesitated for a while, and then said, "Forget it, I don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and I don't know what to write......

Li Yan was stunned.

She didn't know him well......

Truly...... It's not cooked......
