Tang Changyu and Liuning were warm and watchful in the house, Zhao Nan and Chu Chu were walking aimlessly outside, chatting without a match, and when they walked to the place where they had laughed this afternoon, Zhao Nan's eyes inadvertently glanced at an inconspicuous place, but saw a familiar back.

Zhao Nan shirked to Chu Chu and said: "It's late at night, it's windy, the weather is too cold, don't catch a cold, let's go back to keep the New Year." ”

Chu Chu agreed without shirking, Zhao Nan hurriedly said goodbye after sending Chu Chu back to the room, Chu Chu was alone in the room, and finally could no longer maintain the original calm and happiness, shrunk on the bed alone and wept, and asked Zhao Nan over and over again in his heart: Stinky boy, are you stupid, can you see her but I can't see it. Chu Chu no longer had the heart to keep the New Year, and he didn't know how long he cried until he fell asleep.

Zhao Nan hurriedly returned to that place, Wanyan was really still there, Wanyan was alone in this cold night, in the originally happy days, Zhao Nan couldn't see a trace of Wanyan's happiness, Zhao Nan walked towards Wanyan, no salute, no politeness, just called Wanyan's name in a low voice.

Wanyan smiled at Zhao Nan in response and did not speak.

Zhao Nan asked cautiously, "What about the emperor?" Uh, why don't you celebrate the New Year with the emperor? ”

"The emperor has drunk a little too much, so I'll rest for a while, and I'll naturally go back when it's almost time to keep the New Year." After Wanyan answered Zhao Nan's question, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was inevitably very awkward.

Zhao Nan wanted to break this weird silence and provoke a topic, but he kept "you...... You ......" speechless, but the atmosphere is even more awkward.

Instead, Wanyan provoked the topic first, Wanyan turned to face Zhao Nan and asked with a smile, "You like Chu Chu, don't you?" ”

Zhao Nan was speechless for a while, and without waiting for Zhao Nan to answer, Wanyan said with a smile: "Chu Chu is really a good girl, we have known each other since childhood, she has been so simple and innocent since she was a child, she is so cute, you are really suitable." Wanyan didn't look at Zhao Nan, only looked up at Wanyue and said, "The time to keep the New Year is coming, I have to go back first, goodbye." ”

Wanyan turned around to leave, Zhao Nan grabbed her wrist, looked directly into her eyes and said very seriously: "Wanyan, don't think too much, I treat Chu Chu as a sister and a buddy, don't misunderstand." ”

Wanyan didn't answer, just smiled, Zhao Nan couldn't understand what she meant, slowly let go of the hand holding her, and watched Wanyan go away.

At this time, Liubin in the distance rode a horse and galloped all the way, but he didn't know that Yun Qing, who was in Liyun City, missed each other as much as he did.

Yun Qing was alone in this Liyun City, made a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner by himself, put two glasses of wine, one wine glass was filled and placed there, he took another wine glass and drank it cup after cup, but he only took a few sips of the delicious meal on the table, reminiscing about the short but happy time when he stayed in Liyun City to recuperate, and reveled in himself.

When it was about to turn between the old and the new, Yun Qing knelt in front of the Buddha statue and offered incense, and said to himself: "I hope God will bless you, the war will end smoothly as soon as possible, and you will be blessed with all the good of Liubin. ”

Yun Qing worshiped three times reverently and inserted the incense into the incense burner, but heard a banging sound outside the door, and then, the sky outside the window exploded into gorgeous fireworks, and the bright light shone on Yun Qing's face, reflecting a smile like a flower.

Yun Qing was very surprised, and hurriedly ran out to see the colorful fireworks, opened the door, but was pleasantly surprised to find that Liubin was standing in the yard in the dust, and behind him were the brilliant fireworks that kept blooming.

Yun Qing happily ran to Liubin, and threw himself into Liubin's arms, the two hugged each other tightly under this bright sky, and at this happy moment the new year came, Liubin panted and said: "Fortunately, I can keep the New Year with you." ”。

The two of them set off fireworks in the yard for a while, Yun Qing played very happily, waving fireworks sticks with Liubin, and the happy laughter of the two filled the entire courtyard.

The two were tired of playing, and entered the room together, Liubin saw the cold and hearty meal on the table that had not been cleaned up, and barely moved, and saw the wine glass full of wine, and his heart was filled with a slight wave of bitterness.

Liubin picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside, looking at Yun Qing with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile, his eyes smiled into a crescent moon and said, "Why didn't you know that I would come?" Got a heart? ”

After Liubin finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, wanting to taste Yun Qing's craftsmanship, Yun Qing asked him not to eat it first, and said: "Where would I have thought that you would come, the dishes are cold, I will take it to the kitchen to heat it up and you will eat it again." Yun Qing tried hard to suppress the grievances she had been waiting for for so long, and quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Yun Qing went in and out of the kitchen again and again, and Liubin also went in to help, but Yun Qing smiled and pushed Liubin out: "There is a lot of smoke in the kitchen, don't come in, it's not that the gentleman is far away from cooking, I'll come." ”

Liubin reflexively hugged Yun Qing in his arms, hugged Yun Qing's waist and said, "I finally found a chance to come to see you, don't push me away, I really, miss you so much." ”

Yun Qing smiled and nodded and broke away from Liubin's embrace, the two of them were busy heating meals in the kitchen together, Liubin also cooked and fried a few specialty dishes, the two of them set a table of dishes, drank together, Liubin helped Yun Qing pick up vegetables from time to time, and the two of them chatted about what happened to each other during their respective periods.

Liubin talked about the dangers that Yu Yiguan experienced, although it had passed, Yun Qing still felt scared when he heard it, and asked about Liuning's situation carefully, and looked at Liubin with worried eyes, Liubin smiled and patted Yunqing's hand to reassure her, Yunqing looked at Liubin's tired face, and still told Liubin to be careful in everything.

Happy days always fly by, and in the blink of an eye, it is the last day of the first month, and it is time for Liubin to go back to join the army and fight the last battle of this war.

Liubin had already ridden away, but Yun Qing was still very uneasy, thinking of all kinds of dangers on the battlefield, Yun Qing wanted to face it with Liubin, so he made up his mind to ride a horse and chase after him.

Yun Qing rode his horse all the way, and finally saw the back of Liubin going away, Yun Qing shouted the name of Liubin all the way, Liubin finally found Yun Qing who was chasing all the way, seeing her anxious and nervous appearance, Liubin asked distressedly: "Qingqing, why are you here?" ”

Yun Qing was a little tired, panting and said, "I, I don't worry about you, I want to go with you." ”

Liubin was greatly moved in his heart, and got off the horse to hug Yun Qing, but how could he bear to let Yun Qing face such a risk with him, Yun Qing knew Liubin's thoughts, but he still said persistently: "Don't worry, I promise not to cause you trouble, I promise not to encounter danger, I just want to stay by your side and accompany you." ”

Yun Qing's tone was choked, and Liubin's heart hurt even more like a pinprick, but he still resolutely refused Yun Qing: "Qingqing, I can't take you there, you don't want to do the same as life and death, although I don't know what danger there is ahead, but how can I be willing to let you take such a risk, I promise to come back, you have to wait for me here, I will come back to pick you up, and we will go home together when the time comes." ”

The more Liu Bin spoke, the more choked he became, Yun Qing fell on Liu Bin's shoulder and cried, Liu Bin hugged Yun Qing tightly with one hand, gently stroked Yun Qing's back with one hand, and said softly: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Yun Qing cried and nodded, and the two were still reluctant to separate.

Liubin returned to Yuyiguan, the original cheerful and relaxed atmosphere has been swept away, and the entire army has returned to a serious and tense state, the big war is imminent, it is about to break out, the station war has lasted for almost a year, and no one dares to slack off when it is finally time to decide the winner. Liubin learned that Tang Changyu and others were discussing the marching route and battle plan with the emperor, so he hurried over.

The final battle was full of unknowns, so everyone studied it intently for several days, hoping to come up with a complete plan, but no one noticed the people who walked quietly outside the door, and the secret letters that were quietly sent.

After discussing military affairs that night, the troops will be sent tomorrow, Li Shimin returned to the room with a tired face, Wanyan hurriedly greeted him, poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin, and stood behind Li Shimin to massage him.

Li Shimin felt very comfortable, felt a lot of fatigue relieved, and said: "It's good to have Concubine Ai by my side, I feel that my fatigue has disappeared all of a sudden." ”

Li Shimin thoughtfully motioned for Wanyan to stop and rest, Wanyan sat next to Li Shimin, and said with a mysterious smile: "The concubine has good news to tell the emperor, and I guarantee that Your Majesty will be even happier when she hears it." ”

"Oh? Concubine, tell me what it is? Li Shimin became interested and felt that Wanyan wanted to surprise herself.

Wanyan's words were indeed as Li Shimin expected, and they really brought a big surprise to Li Shimin, only to hear Wanyan say a little shyly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is pregnant, and it has been two months. ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, picked up Wanyan and turned around twice, and then slowly put it down gently, his excitement was overflowing, but he was cautious, for fear of damaging his treasure. Li Shimin felt sorry for Wanyan and wanted her to take care of the fetus, and didn't want Wanyan to suffer from the ups and downs of the march, so he said to Wanyan: "Concubine Ai, tomorrow I will send someone to send you back to Chang'an, the front line is too dangerous, I can't let you suffer anymore, you must raise the fetus with peace of mind now." ”

When Wanyan heard this, she didn't agree immediately, but took Li Shimin's hand and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to be by your side." ”

Li Shimin hugged Wanyan and said with a smile: "I can't rely on your little temperament this time, the emperor's heir is important, you know, you have to be a mother, obedient." ”

Wanyan was no longer coquettish this time, but said very seriously: "The concubine is not coquettish, the concubine is thinking, she is about to go to the concubine's hometown Turkic royal city, my mother is there, maybe my brother is also there, maybe the concubine can go to persuade him to surrender, so that the emperor can not use troops, and the Turkic royal city can also be spared from war, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

This is the first time Wanyan doesn't know how many times she has chosen to dedicate herself to the interests of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was once again moved by the beautiful and moving woman in front of her and deeply aware of righteousness, hugged Wanyan tightly, and made a promise and said: "Yan'er, when we return to Chang'an, I will make you a concubine, I will love you more and love our children more." ”

The corners of Wanyan's mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, and this smile was fleeting, only to see Wanyan nodding happily.
