Xue Dingshan said goodbye to Princess Liu and left the inner house, and returned to Yilanxuan with a heavy heart. Along the way, a mess of emotions was like a mess. He hesitated, stopped and stopped, and when he returned to Yilanxuan, it was already nearly two o'clock.

Xue Jinlian, Li Xiurong and others, who were originally serving the wedding here, had already dispersed with their maids. Yi Lanxuan, who was still a longing figure, couldn't see a figure at this time. Only the layers of brocade curtains inside and outside the courtyard are slightly red in the breeze, and the red lights are swaying through the patterns on the lamp enclosure, swaying with warm light. The surroundings are quiet, and what people feel is not comfortable, but depressing.

Xue Dingshan came up the stairs and stood in front of the door for a long time before he picked up the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang and came in, and closed the door with his backhand. He turned around and glanced around the room. The festive scenery in the room seems to continue the warmth of the wedding ceremony, and it is overflowing with the joy that has not yet dissipated. Through the two large red embroidered curtains hanging down from the boudoir door of the inner room, Fan Lihua was vaguely seen lying quietly on the ivory bed, as if she had fallen asleep.

"Alas!" Xue Dingshan couldn't help but sigh, slowly walked to the side of the reunion table, sat down on the chair, and lowered his head to look at the exquisite dishes and novel fruits on the table. Shaking his head slightly, these mouth-watering delicacies did not whet any of his appetite at this time. Raised his hand to pick up the acacia pot in the begonia lotus pattern plate, and took another acacia cup. Holding the pot, he slowly poured a cup of mellow acacia wine into the cup, put down the pot, held the wine to his lips and drank it slowly.

In the inner room, Fan Lihua, who was lying on the ivory bed facing in, heard the sound of bamboo curtains and the sound of closing the door, and felt a panic in her heart. In his heart, he secretly guessed what Xue Dingshan would do and what he would say after he came in. How should I answer him?

Suddenly, there was a faint sigh full of flavors from Xue Dingshan in his ears. Fan Lihua's heart tightened, and she didn't know why she felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

I heard the sound of "rustling" pouring wine again, and I didn't ask to know that it was Xue Dingshan who was pouring wine alone. Fan Lihua's heart couldn't help but be suddenly shocked.

"Yikes! Two years ago, he was married on the order of the prince in Suoyang Pass, and he returned drunk every night during the candle period in the cave room, and threw me a letter of resignation three days later. Today, is that scene going to be repeated? Thinking of this, Fan Lihua's heart couldn't help but feel a shock. His eyebrows tightened, and tears poured up involuntarily, and he quickly rubbed his eyes with Luo Pa on the pillow, so as not to let the tears fall.

In a blink of an eye, she remembered Xue Yulian's bitter persuasion last night, and Fan Lihua barely mustered up a trace of courage. Slowly sat up from the bed, stood up and walked to the edge of the boudoir, and looked out through the curtains.

I saw Xue Dingshan sitting silently next to the table, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his face looked very bad. Fan Lihua's heart couldn't help but pass through a sore feeling, and she dotted up some warm words. He lifted the curtain with his hand and walked out of the inner room. Gently moving the lotus step to the front of Xue Dingshan, he asked softly with concern, "The general's face is not good, is he uncomfortable?" ”

"Huh!" Xue Dingshan thought that Fan Lihua had fallen asleep, and was thinking about it alone while sipping Hehuan wine, when he suddenly saw Fan Lihua walking out of the inner room, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said: "I have been busy with military affairs in the camp non-stop these days, and I am inevitably a little tired if I don't have good food and accommodation, so it doesn't matter." I ......" Xue Dingshan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and said, "I thought you had slept." ”

Fan Lihua smiled slightly and said, "It's a little tiring after a day of tossing, and it's just a matter of recuperating crookedly." Since the general is tired, why don't you go to rest early, but sit here and drink? ”

"Uh......" Xue Dingshan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have worked too hard these days, and it is difficult to sleep for a while. So, a few glasses of wine is good enough to fall asleep faster. ”

Fan Lihua listened to Xue Dingshan's words, and forgot all the warm words that had been made in her heart. I didn't know how to answer him for a while, and I didn't speak for a long time. Xue Dingshan saw that Fan Lihua was silent, and he was silent. For a moment there was something so quiet in the room that it seemed that the candlelight on the red candles could be heard.

After a while, Fan Lihua silently took the acacia cup in front of Xue Dingshan, took another acacia cup from the sunflower plate, and then took the holding pot and filled both cups. Holding the acacia cup that Xue Dingshan used just now, he handed it to Xue Dingshan, and said, "These days, General Lao has been in charge of military affairs for the slaves, and it has been a lot of hard work. The slave family has nothing to repay, this glass of wine is not a tribute, and it is a little thank you to the slave. If the general thinks that the slave family is sincere, please do not give up drinking this wine. ”

Xue Dingshan hesitated for a moment, didn't speak, stood up from the chair, took the wine glass with both hands and raised it in front of him to drink it all. When he finished drinking, he put down the cup.

Fan Lihua took the pot and poured a full glass of wine, handed it to Xue Dingshan, and said: "The rectification of the three armies has been carried out very smoothly this time, thanks to the general's good management of the army. In the future, the three armies will make great contributions to the general purge of the generals. This cup of wine should be the slave family's first congratulatory service for the general. General, please. ”

Xue Dingshan still didn't speak, but still took the Hehuan cup with both hands, raised it in front of him and drank it dry, and put the cup down.

Fan Lihua poured a full glass of wine again and handed it over. said: "The concubine is sick because of her illness, and my sister never allows the concubine to drink when she is ordinary. Today is an exception, since the general has such a Yaxing, the concubine should make an exception to accompany the general to have a drink. If the general doesn't dislike it, please drink this glass of wine again. ”

Xue Dingshan took it with both hands again and said, "Since it is the marshal's good intentions, the last general will not dare to push back." Marshal, please. ”

As soon as Xue Dingshan's word "marshal" came out, Fan Lihua's heart immediately swelled with a bone-chilling chill. His hand trembled slightly, and he slowly drank the wine in the cup, and said, "Ben Shuai finished drinking first, General Xue, please." ”

Xue Dingshan's words were also spoken, and he regretted it in his heart. However, what is said cannot be taken back, and it is useless to regret it. I had to raise my glass and drink the wine from it.

Fan Lihua waited for Xue Dingshan to finish drinking the wine in the cup, poured the acacia cup in his hand into the sunflower plate, and said: "Although fine wine can moisten the throat, it is not too good, and more is not beneficial to the body. Since General Xue is tired, let's eat something and rest early. ”

"Uh......" Xue Dingshan hesitated for a moment again before he said: "Please go and rest first, and then sit down a little and then go to sleep." ”
