Liu Ning and Tang Changyu were at the table, Liu Ning prepared a lot of delicious food, and also prepared a pot of thin wine, which was regarded as celebrating the return of the two of them, and it was also regarded as washing the dust for the two of them. Tang Changyu looked at the sumptuous meals on the table, all of which he loved to eat, and his heart was full of the warmth of home.

Tang Changyu thought a lot, so he didn't think about the past and the future, and didn't think about moral responsibility, he just seized the present time and lived happily.

Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's smiling face, clinked glasses with her, and put a piece of meat into her bowl, asking her to eat more and not be so thin all the time. Liu Ning looked at Tang Changyu's usual gentle look, but she became more and more worried, the tacit understanding over the years could almost make her guess Tang Changyu's heart. But she also gradually learned to trust, Tang Changyu didn't want to say it, naturally he had a reason, and Liuning also believed in Tang Changyu, he could handle these things.

The two chatted as usual, Tang Changyu's tone was flat, as if talking about things that had nothing to do with him, talking about today's things in the palace: "A Ning, the emperor has not found a suitable person to take over my position, but recently the emperor seems to be particularly fond of the Nine Emperors Li Zhi, now the Xiongnu border wars are frequent, the emperor hopes that I can take the Nine Emperors to experience, this is just a small battle, and when we win the victory, the emperor will completely let us go, let us go in seclusion." ”

Liuning didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and finally waited for this final promise, a free and chic life was just around the corner, but before that, there was still a war, although Tang Changyu said that it was a small war on the surface, but which war was not bloody.

"Then I'll go with you." Liu Ning didn't think much about it, and almost blurted out a reaction.

This is what Tang Changyu is most worried about, since he expected that the emperor would let him encounter some unpredictable dangers, he couldn't pull Liuning into such dangers, Tang Changyu could only find an excuse to shirk: "A-Ning, the emperor only pointed to me to go to the battlefield alone this time, and didn't say that he wanted you to go with him, the emperor's order cannot be violated, you can wait for me at home with peace of mind." ”

Liuning naturally would not compromise because of such a high-sounding reason, she also understood that Tang Changyu felt sorry for her, and didn't want her to face danger and torture all day long, she just wanted to feel sorry for her, and didn't want her to suffer in a place like the battlefield. She understands all this, but what she wants to do most is to stand with Tang Changyu.

"The emperor didn't say that it doesn't matter if I go, I can go quietly, disguise myself as a soldier and follow you, even if the emperor knows that I went, I have already gone, and I will not be subject to foreign military orders. Also, if you don't want me to go to the battlefield to fight and kill, then I'll stay in the barracks, behind your back, I'll listen to you, I just want to be with you. ”

Tang Changyu knew that it was useless to argue with Liuning again, but he could only continue to argue with her. To do a full set of acts, he lied to Liuning tonight, although it was a white lie, but after all, he had to make up for it with more lies. You can only find a suitable reason to stumble on Ryuning before setting out on the expedition.

Once Tang Changyu wanted to live and die with Liuning, but now the deeper the love, the more he wants to leave her peace and joy, this time life and death are uncertain, he just wants to face it alone. Even if Liuning hates him, even if Liuning says that he is selfish, sadness will always be diluted by time, her life is the most important, more important than her own.

Early the next morning, Tang Changyu went to the palace to recover his life, and said that he hoped that the emperor would keep his promise. Li Shimin always maintained his usual smile, so that Tang Changyu could not guess the emperor's thoughts. The emperor gave him seven days to prepare, and Tang Changyu was full of thoughts about how to hold Liu Ning back and hurry up to arrange his way to retreat in front of him.

Five days have passed in a flash, Tang Changyu has been busy arranging things, Liuning saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't help himself, she could only make herself look less worried, and relieve Tang Changyu's worries, she did her best to take care of Tang Changyu's food, clothing and daily life, and also packed their clothes to prepare for the battlefield.

Unknowingly, it was the day before preparing to go on the expedition, which should have been the busiest time, but Tang Changyu was unexpectedly idle at home, "There is no military affairs today, don't you need to go out?" Liuning also felt that this situation was unusual.

Tang Changyu smiled gently, touched Liuning's head and said, "The military affairs are all over, so I will leave early tomorrow morning." I'm not going anywhere today, I'm at home with you, what do you want to do? ”

Liuning smiled and leaned on Tang Changyu, what to do? In fact, as long as two people are together, no matter what they do, they just stay together quietly, even if they are in a daze, they are all happy. Liuning thought for a while and said, "Changyu, I remember that you painted a portrait of me a long time ago, it's been many years, let's paint another one for me, and see if I've changed." ”

Tang Changyu smiled and took Liuning's hand, and the two of them walked towards the study together. The portrait of Liuning hanging on the wall has been made many years ago, and although it has been carefully framed, you can still see the slight yellowing of the edges of the rice paper, which is a clear footprint left by the years.

Liuning did a good job properly, Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's face carefully, the years have not left any traces on Liuning's face in the past eight years, as if she was still the appearance of a girl when she first met, her eyebrows and eyes are bright, her smile is so hearty and moving, the tempering of the years has made her silhouette softer, adding a touch of softness to her original heroic charm.

Liu Ning was stared at by Tang Changyu like this, and blushed a little embarrassedly, so Tang Changyu stopped teasing her, lowered his head and concentrated on painting. Perhaps too familiar with Liuning's appearance, Tang Changyu completed it extremely smoothly and completed the portrait quickly. Liu Ning leaned over to look at it, and repeatedly praised Tang Changyu's painting skills, she made her seem to see herself in the mirror, very charming. Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's smiling eyes and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but imprint a light kiss.

Liu Ning pushed Tang Changyu to stand in the seat he was sitting on just now, and said, "This is my reward for you, now that you are standing here, I will draw you too." But I don't paint well, it's all from you, and you can't blame me for my bad drawing, you can only blame you for not doing well. ”

Tang Changyu smiled slightly, looking at Liuning's careful and serious appearance, his eyes were full of love. Liuning was engrossed in drawing him, but he was looking at her intently, not wanting to let go of one of her movements, one look, as if he would never see him again, and he couldn't see enough.
