Jinyang is still the same Jinyang, it is still calm at night, and it is still busy during the day.

In a private house in the east city of Jinyang, there are a few pear trees in the backyard, because it is early autumn, there is no leaf like dead wood.

A girl in a flowing white skirt sat on a swing, her long black hair lying straight on her slender back. Because she was carrying someone, she couldn't see her face clearly, so she let the swing carry her gently floating. Her head rested on one end of the swing, motionless, not sure whether she was asleep or in thought.

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind her, followed by a soft call: "Miss, it's time for lunch." ”

The girl didn't seem to hear, didn't answer, and still kept moving.

"Miss?"

The maid walked up to her and pulled the swing to stop it from swaying. The girl reacted and raised her head, only to see a peerless pink face that had come into view. Su Jian's sideburns are only worn with a white hosta carved with white pear blossoms, and there is no superfluous decoration in plain white, except for the three pear blossoms embroidered on the belt, the pear lace has more gold silk edges, which is especially prominent in the white vision.

"Aunt Qingyan, I heard that King Qin is about to arrive in Jinyang in the near future?"

"Isn't it, in the past half a month, the people in Jinyang City have been talking about this every day. It is also said that the King of Qin personally came to Jinyang to discuss his relatives, giving enough face to the Zhao Kingdom, and the princess who was selected this time must be the eldest princess of Ximo, and the status of the entire Zhao Kingdom, that is, the status of Princess Di, can be worthy of the King of Qin. ”

"So, everyone thinks he's going to marry his cousin?"

"Isn't this a sure thing, otherwise why would you work so hard to move the crowd here?"

"Labor and ......" the girl said silently, not continuing the topic: "Let's go, don't let my mother wait for a long time." ”

When I arrived at the main hall, a noble lady in her early thirties was already sitting on the edge of a low couch with a meal. Seeing the girl, with a little reproach: "Why are you still so playful, you can't grow up at all." ”

"Didn't my mother say that she hoped that I would never grow up, but that would be disgusting again."

"That's just my mother's naïve words, how can I take it seriously?"

"Xi'er thinks it's good not to grow up."

"......" The lady looked at her daughter softly, seventeen years old in the mood for love, and she gave birth to her at such an age. Now, in a blink of an eye, my daughter is so old. However, the secrets that have been buried are not at all afraid to be made public.

"Madam, the general is here." As soon as the house slave finished the report, he saw a middle-aged man with a proud chest and a majestic posture walking in through the courtyard. The person who came was Li Mu, the general of Zhao State's soldiers and horses.

This annex is inhabited by Princess Crane and her daughter Perxi. Li Mu was instructed by King Zhao five years ago to marry the crane in a straightforward manner. Although it is claimed to the outside world that Princess Wuhe returned from Bashu and remarried General Zhao.

Princess Crane didn't want to embarrass everyone by living in the General's Mansion because of her identity, so she took the initiative to live in another courtyard as a side room, but her identity existed as the general's family. Occasionally, the general would come to the courtyard for a few days.

"General." The crane stood up and saluted. Li Mu nodded: "Why haven't you eaten yet?" He looked at the meal on the low couch, it was past lunchtime, so he asked with concern.

"It's all my fault, my mother delayed the meal because she was waiting for me." Poxi on the side did not admit to Li Mu.

"There must be a new book that attracts us to Perxi, otherwise how could you, who are so filial, bear to starve your mother?" Li Mu's serious face became a little more relaxed because of Perxi.

The delicate little face of the hibiscus in Perxi is no better than that of the crane. Look at Perxi, and then look at the crane, and his eyes become gentle like water.

The crane looked at him, and she always understood his affection. At the age of youth and ignorance, a true heart and no hesitation were wronged to others. Although it was not his intention five years ago, he was thirty years old but still married Li Mu, who had loved him for many years.

Over the years, Li Mu has remained affectionate and has supported her. But she hasn't opened her heart to him yet, Prince Han is the biological father of Poxi is a reason, I don't know what changes are waiting in the future, and feeling guilty about Li Mu is also a reason, she thinks that she is not worthy of Li Mu's affection.

"Where is Miss reading and studying, Miss is afraid that she wants to go out to play again recently, and she cares about the big things that will happen in Jinyang recently."

Joked lightly, because they have been together for many years, they have long been like a family's light words and soft words, and they are usually not restrained, and they speak a lot more casually.

"I see, isn't it that we also want to see the style of King Qin?"

"Then can my father take me into the palace to participate in the palace banquet to welcome King Qin?" Although Li Mu is not Poxi's biological father, he has loved her since she was a child and doted on her very much. Therefore, after her mother married Li Mu, she changed her name to Li Mu's father.

Although she still doesn't know who her biological father is, no one wants to say more. She naturally knew in her heart that there was something unspeakable. It's just that her mother doesn't want to say it, and she doesn't want her mother to be embarrassed, so she doesn't ask more. Li Mu became her father, and her heart somewhat made up for her lack of father.

"Xi'er." The crane stopped at the right time: "You go back to the room first, let someone bring your meal to the room, I have something to talk about with the general." ”

Perk Creek knew that the same thing was happening again. Even after moving back to the city from the pear orchard in the mountains, she was still not allowed to go out freely. I can only stay at home every day with the same people and the same things.

She didn't know why, but she never pressed to ask, she was willing to listen to her mother's arrangement. In the past ten years, whether in the pear orchard or this courtyard, she has not felt lonely. Because there was a dream in her heart, a dream she had been waiting for for ten years.

The boy who promised her that he would come to her in ten years is not too early or too late, exactly ten years, he came. Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom thought that he had come to marry the princess. But she knew he was here for her! She firmly believes that he is here for her!!

Li Mu saw that Poxi did not disobey his mother, and left with a light speech and a soft voice. He still doesn't understand, in the past, because he didn't have a legitimate identity, now there is no one in Jinyang who doesn't know that their mother and daughter are his Li Mu's family. It's not uncommon to go out, but the cranes are as low-key as ever, so that people almost forget their existence. It seems that being forgotten is her goal.

"Why are you doing this, Perxi has grown up, and sooner or later he will get married. If you don't let her go out to meet people, do you want her to hide for the rest of her life? ”

"Perxi, she ......" how could he bear to be trapped in his only daughter. So a beautiful and kind child is considered to be a symbol of the destruction of the country, once it is known by the world, what is the difference between it and piercing the sky? How many swords does Perxi's life have to attract to each other? Every time she thought of such a result, she could sweat with fear. As long as no one knows, even if Perxi can only live alone for the rest of his life, it is better than being lifeless.

"Tomorrow the King of Qin will arrive in Jinyang, I originally thought of asking the King to let me take you and Poxi into the palace together. Your mother and daughter have only been in the palace for five years, and every time you go, you still go to see the Empress Dowager Zhao in a low-key manner. This palace banquet is unprecedented, the scene is grand, why not let Perxi go to see the world? ”

The crane clenched her hands, she couldn't wait to tell Li Mu everything, he had really been sincere to their mother and daughter over the years, but she could only turn him away as an outsider.

Every time she saw his helpless tolerance, she felt unbearable. She had already accepted him in her heart, and it was because she accepted that she didn't dare to let go of her heart for him easily. She was afraid that it would bring him disaster in the future.

Five years ago, I don't know who went to Bashu to inquire about her. The head of the Bashu Feng family sent someone to inform the Empress Dowager Zhao, will there be any problems? After that, probably those people didn't find out what to do.

Because I didn't know what those people wanted to do, and I was worried that the identity of Perxi as the daughter of the Korean prince would be discovered, I had no choice but to marry Li Mu, and said that Perxi's age was two years younger.

Li Mu knew the secret of Poxi's birth, so he thought it was to make people believe that Poxi was born in Bashu, so he thought it was two years younger. Only Empress Dowager Zhao, King Zhao, and Wuhe knew that it was just to avoid the time when the Feng family produced the "Liyang Phoenix Girl" for five hundred years. In this way, the pear yang phoenix girl does not exist. So far, even the head of the Feng family doesn't know that Liyang Fengnu has appeared.

"General, I do have a hard time, the more lively the place, the more I can't go to Perxi, I don't want her to see any irrelevant people. The general should not say more. ”

"Could it be... Are you still thinking... Let Percy recognize his biological father, or... Yourself......? ”

"General... I.... ”

"I know, I won't force you, if one day in the future, you want me to let you go, I will..."

"The general said cautiously, even if I can't be as affectionate as the general in this life, but for the rest of my life, unless the general dislikes it, I will be your wife, and there is only you as a father in Poxi."

The crane felt a little aggrieved in her heart, but she couldn't say it clearly. Her old love for Prince Han had already been placed at the moment when he abandoned her and married her, even after a long time, she did not let go of that relationship. But over the years, Li Mu has entered her heart, and Prince Han has completely let go, the only regret is that I am sorry for Perxi, and let her be born with an unknown identity.

"You... Do you say this because you also have some affection for me? ”

Li Mu was a little excited. Although he is a nobleman of the Zhao Kingdom, he has had many opportunities to contact the crane since he was a child, and he slowly fell in love with the crane. But after all, the crane is a princess who is high, and he doesn't have the courage to express his love.

After being taken by Prince Han, he was heartbroken, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and he didn't marry South Korea, giving him the opportunity to express his affection again. After waiting for many years, he finally got what he wanted, but the crane had always been like a divorce from him, and he could never open his heart to him, and he was about to give up and force her heart. Her words just now were the first time she had spoken so clearly and clearly, and they made him hope again.

"General, I... I'm willing to go with you for the rest of your life, but I'm afraid that I and Percy will bring you... Troublesome. She had wanted to say that it would bring him disaster, but she was worried about what he would see, so she casually expressed her innocuous concern.

"I don't know why you say this, but if there is really any trouble, I, Li Mu, am not afraid, as long as you are willing to accept me sincerely......" He looked at her affectionately, a little nervous: "If you can, will there be a day in the future, you can... Love me, even if it's just as much as I love you? ”

Tears welled up in the crane's eyes: "It may not be as thick as your ten, but it seems to be as many as eight." Tears flowed, and a big stone in my heart fell to the ground, which was unprecedented and relaxed. Push him away again, I'm afraid that I will live in regret for the rest of my life, I have been hurt by a relationship, should she catch this love, should she be willful again?

Two lines of tears appeared on the face of the tenacious general Li Mu. He has shed countless blood and sweat all his life, but he has never shed tears. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but his dignified general cried with joy because he got the heart of the beautiful woman: "That's enough, it's too much." ”

Looking at each other, hugging each other affectionately, everything is silent. It's just that... Is it true that having a lover can last forever?
