"Well, that's all there is to it." Nodding, after Gao Sheji calmed down, he remembered the appearance of his son when he came back, but suddenly smiled: "Did you plan to go out just now?" ”

Gao Xianzhi was a lazy man, except for things such as marching and arranging formations, he was not interested in the pastimes that ordinary young people were keen on, let alone expecting him to go out to socialize. Yes, he and the wealthy sons in the Shendu can't play together, when they were in Chang'an, the three sons of the Yongwang Mansion were quite like-minded, but when he returned to the Shendu, he basically didn't even bother to get out of the mansion. It's a day now, but the sun is coming out in the west.

Raising the letter in his hand, Gao Xianzhi didn't care about his father's teasing at all: "Chengyu has sent a letter, I think it's better to show it to Xiao'er." It just so happens that I haven't been to greet Her Royal Highness for a long time, so let's stop by. "Now I have to add this holy decree of the emperor, he entered the palace this time, and suddenly his purpose was not pure.

"Go, go, go." Gao Sheji waved his hand, but the playful smile on his face became even stronger: "People say that women don't stay, I see your son, even if you are at home, your heart is long gone!" ”

Then you had asked for a marriage earlier, and these things would have been resolved. Gao Xianzhi glanced at this old and unserious father angrily, and this sentence turned around on his lips, but he still didn't say it.

In the eyes of the emperor, the relationship between the Gao family and the Yongwang Mansion is already too ambiguous, and if you still want to become a family of children at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that more things will not be born. That's it, anyway, each other is still young, and it's too late to talk about it when this limelight passes.

When he saw Princess Taiping and came to the side hall of Lanyue Palace, Gao Xianzhi's heart was still haunted by these chaotic thoughts, until he heard the voice he was familiar with through the palace door.

"Evil! I want to know you and live a long life.

There are no mountains and no tombs, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunderstorms in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king! ”

The girl's voice has faded a lot of immaturity compared to when she was in Chang'an, and it is more beautiful and tactful, which shows that her life in the palace this year is not as relaxed and happy as it seems from the outside. And at such an age, reciting such an inconsistent Yuefu poem is still warm and resolute, lingering, and as if it were from the bottom of his heart. Gao Xianzhi was already in a state of mind, but when he heard it at this time, it was even more like knocking on his heart, and even the expression on his face became softer.

Gaofu's sword, no matter how sharp it is, there is always someone who can willingly collect all the cold in the sheath.

"Childe, it's so heavy snow outside, why don't you go in?" When Hongfu came from the other end of the corridor with a snack, she saw a young man in a dark cloak standing outside the main hall, with a handsome posture, a gentle face, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Even if the wind and snow flew here, rushing straight into the porch and rolling up the hem of his clothes, this person still seemed to be standing under the warm spring sun, surrounded by flowers, and full of dark fragrance.

"I ......" just said a word, Gao Xianzhi saw the door in front of him suddenly open, and then, a bright and pretty little face poked out, looking at him and a very sweet smile: "Brother Huaijin!" ”

"You mean, Your Majesty allows you to return to Chang'an in the spring?" After explaining the intentions of the future, the two sat down in the warm pavilion, and before Gao Xianzhi could hand over the letter to Tao Yao, he heard such a surprising news.

"Yes, Your Majesty scared me when he mentioned it." Until now, Tao Yao still feels that this news is too good to be true: "Brother Huaijin, you said, Your Majesty asked me to go back, does it mean that I will not be in the selection of Tubo and relatives?" ”

Although she also knows that she is too young to usually take it into consideration. But who can say for sure what the superior thinks? In a word, she is a newborn milk doll, so she has to be ordered to get out, let alone just wait for her for a few years. Therefore, since Princess Taiping revealed the meaning of Tubo, her heart has not been stable for a day, and seeing that she will be able to return to Chang'an soon, she feels that she has received hope for redemption.

"It's natural." I haven't seen her for too long, the girl has grown a lot taller and thinner, and her originally full cheeks have been thinned, and she suddenly has a beautiful and slender silhouette. Because of her good complexion, this change made her more mature, as if she had become a big girl overnight, and she was no longer the soft and cute little ball in his impression. couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her head, Gao Xianzhi understood that this was because he was overthinking, and his eyes as black as obsidian unconsciously revealed distress: "Don't worry, if it's you, then Your Majesty won't let you go anyway." Now that she has relented, it means that she has another candidate in mind, and it should be announced at the latest New Year's Day. ”

Beyond that, though, he seems to be on the right track, and he's figured out another thing. At this point, it seems that whether or not there is a decree for marriage is not so important.

Smelling the little ink fragrance on his body, Tao Yao only felt extremely relieved, and involuntarily rubbed his palm with his head, like a cat that completely trusted its owner, well-behaved and tame: "That's good, I only believe what Brother Huaijin says." As she spoke, she thought of a point that she had been ignoring, and suddenly became depressed again: "It's okay to go back to Chang'an, I want to separate from you, and I don't know when I will see you next time." She still remembers that when Uncle Gao left Chang'an, she and Brother Huaijin parted for three years.

Fortunately, everyone was still young at that time, and the days of playing and making trouble passed. But now it's different, after she came, she found out that the weather in Shendu is too fast-changing, and Brother Huai Jin seems to be too attractive, and in another three years, who knows how many things will happen! Don't let Li Jijiang become the wife of Huaijin's brother by then, then she can't shout this sister-in-law even if she is killed.

"Why, will the child be reluctant to give up on me?" Looking at her little expression, which was a move that would completely unload her guard by his side, Gao Xianzhi's heart softened into water, but she was still deliberately teasing her: "I thought you would miss your three brothers more." ”

"Hmm......" I wanted to refute his words, but after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't realize that there was anything wrong. Tao Yao's delicate face as jade carving slowly rose to a light layer of crimson, and she stopped talking for a long time, and finally spoke out: "In my heart, you and my brother are different......"

At least, if they marry and have children, she will be happy that she has an extra sister-in-law, and she loves her and spoils her family more. But her intuition told her that Gao Xianzhi was different. If he becomes a relative, then he is destined to never have himself again in his later life. He will not come to see her again, will no longer care and comfort her, and will not listen to her tell her about her heart, accompany her and tease her. Just thinking about it like this, she felt very sad and very reluctant, she didn't want to stay in Chang'an City, waiting for him to bring her the news of marriage one day.

"Oh? What's the difference? This vague sentence was like a hammer, and it smashed into Gao Xianzhi's heart at once, making it difficult for him to even breathe in a moment.

The crimson color on Tao Yao's face was darker, but she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. She can't just say that she doesn't want to see him marry and wants him to be by her side forever, right? Brother Huai Jin must have thought that she was crazy to dare to make such an unreasonable request. And, even if it does, what? He laughed at most, and when she was a child, the nonsense was over. After all, to put it bluntly, who can accompany whom forever? Even if he really agreed at the moment, he would definitely forget that her idea was still too much.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I just can't bear to Huai Jin's brother. After figuring this out, Tao Yao no longer twisted. On the contrary, she also remembered what Princess Taiping had told her earlier, and her heart instantly became cold, and even the blush on her face gradually disappeared, as if all her performance just now was just an illusion of the person in front of her.

"Xiao'er......" her thoughts have always been unconcealable in front of him. Gao Xianzhi sighed faintly, the hand stroking the top of her hair slowly slid down, and stroked her cheek with an extremely gentle force: "Don't worry, Brother Huaijin is reluctant to let you go, and will accompany you back to Chang'an." "If it is as expected, His Majesty the Emperor simply wants them to send Tao Yao back. The unfinished meaning is nothing more than that she is happy to see the marriage between the two families. If this is the case, then their future is destined to be much smoother, and they are not in a hurry.

She has never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex outside of her family, even if this person is her brother Huai Jin. Tao Yao was stunned for a while, but she didn't mean to reject it at all, and even, after hearing his words, she was full of joy, wishing that this winter would pass soon. She is so eager to return to Chang'an, with him, to return to their most beautiful Chang'an.

"Evil! I want to know you and live a long life. ”

Suddenly, she understood the meaning of this sentence.
