"Why did you leave without saying a word?" My mother patted me on the back, but she was reluctant to use force, gentle and gentle.

I obediently admitted my mistake and promised never to sneak away from my home again.

My mother didn't look much better because of my mistake, but she burst into tears, holding my hand and sitting on the side, crying vigorously.

My dad was also worried, and there was a sigh without a word.

If I had been willing to admit my mistake like this in the past, the two elders would have been very happy.

I gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

My mother looked up at me, but her eyes were blurred by the surging tears.

I looked at my father, he slapped the table hard, and his face was already full of old tears: "Ruyue, the palace is talking." ”

It turned out that the emperor intended to accept me as a concubine, so he asked the prime minister to come to my house and brought a dowry, saying that he would let me enter the palace after half a month.

The emperor is well prepared, and the etiquette and face are all well arranged, so that my father and mother can't even say anything to refute.

I sat on the ground, my eyes blank.

"When did this happen? How I don't know. Bai Ruxing clenched his fists. He suppressed his anger and pulled me up from the ground.

"The old emperor is also in his fifties, and half of his body is in the coffin. My sister is only sixteen years old, and her life has just begun, and she must not be allowed to enter the palace. ”

Yes, I'm only sixteen years old, I'm in the prime of my life, I still have a lot to do, and my life is just beginning.

"Dad, I don't want to." I wiped away my tears: "Even if I die, I won't enter the palace." ”

My mother even cried and knelt in front of my father: "Master, I am just a daughter of Ruyue, even if I let her marry an ordinary person, at least I can see her when I think of her." I don't want her to enter the palace, and I don't know when I will see each other again. ”

I held my mother, only to find that her body was shaking.

My father sighed heavily: "What can I do, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, if I refuse, it will be openly against the court." I am a father, but I am also the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I have to think about the whole rivers and lakes. ”

I didn't eat at night and sat alone on the backyard swing.

The late autumn breeze was blowing, and I was soaked in this coolness, and I felt that this was just the beginning of autumn.

I remember that when I was a child, many playmates worried about trivial matters at home, worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, hated that their father took concubines, and there were many younger brothers and sisters in the family who did not know each other. But I have never been worried about these things, since I was a child, my family was rich, my father and mother were loving, and my mother was the only wife. The eldest brother even held me in the palm of his hand, for fear that I would be unhappy.

I always thought that I was still a child, and I needed my father's love and mother's love, and I didn't need to worry about anything in the world. So at my age, there are a lot of girls who are already married, but I'm still at home. I never thought that I would be married to someone so early, and the other party is still an emperor. I was in a daze for a long time, so that Xiao Changfeng was behind me, and I didn't know when he helped me put on the big hat.

"It's cold, why don't you go back to the house." Xiao Changfeng said.

I looked at him blankly, "Changfeng, why are you here?" ”

"After you left that day, I followed you." He saw my red, swollen eyes and asked me, "What's going on?" ”

"Xiao Changfeng." I felt bitter in my heart: "The palace has spoken." ”

I told Xiao Changfeng about this as it was, and for some reason, looking at Xiao Changfeng's familiar and unfamiliar face, I wanted to cry.

Xiao Changfeng was silent for a while after hearing this, and suddenly looked up at me: "Then are you willing to enter the palace?" ”

I shook my head, unwilling.

Xiao Changfeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I have a way, I don't know if Ruyue agrees?" ”

Now as long as you can prevent me from entering the palace, I nodded: "You say?" ”

"The rivers and lakes and the imperial court are opposed and unified, the alliance leader does not want to offend the imperial court and cannot directly refuse the emperor, but he does not want Ruyue to enter the palace, there is only one way." Xiao Changfeng said: "Let the alliance leader send someone back to the emperor, saying that Ruyue, you already have a sweetheart, and you have a marriage contract." In this way, the emperor will take care of his face and put down the matter of your concubine. ”

I bowed my head and said nothing, I have also thought about this method, but where to find someone in this short time.

"Then, Ruyue, do you have a sweetheart?"

I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Changfeng, and shook my head against my will.

"Ruyue doesn't have a sweetheart, but there are people who put Ruyue in her sweetheart." Xiao Changfeng suddenly grabbed my hand, "Don't hide it from Ruyue, I actually liked you very early, but I was young at that time and didn't understand love and love, and because Ruyue was still a child at that time, I never said it." But since the last time you left, I couldn't help thinking about you, thinking about your smile and smile. I realized that my feelings for you had increased over the years,"

I was so shocked that I forgot to put my hand back for a while, and even more so that it was time to pass, and there were more and more domestic servants patrolling the house, and we were so easy to be discovered.

I thought that between me and Xiao Changfeng, it had always been my own wishful thinking. I never thought that Xiao Changfeng would like me, so he rushed from the capital to Licheng overnight for me to say love words to me. Tell me he likes me.

After a while, Yuan Fengzhi smiled at me: "It's okay if Ruyue doesn't like me, it's enough that I like you." ”

It's obviously a very ordinary, very old-fashioned love story, and usually the girl may not take it to heart at all, thinking that this person is too perfunctory and has no sincerity. But when I listened to it, it sounded so beautiful to my ears, and it was even better than the famous songs I heard in the famous West Garden in Licheng.

I blushed: "I like you too, Xiao Changfeng." ”

Xiao Changfeng looked at me, with a smile in his eyes,

His eyes are beautiful, reflecting the starry sky, as if there is an ocean of water, as if he can speak.

"It is said that a woman's beautiful eyes can speak, but why do I think your eyes can speak."

Xiao Changfeng said: "Then you have heard of the West Lake woman. ”

I shook my head.

"It was a very beautiful woman, and according to legend, she was a ama who guarded all the people. The appearance is overwhelming, and it cannot be described in words. ”

Hearing Xiao Changfeng praise other women like this, even if she is just a legend, I am still a little angry.

"Do you think she's beautiful too?"

Xiao shook his head, held my hand and put it on his lips, and kissed it gently: "In my heart, nothing compares to you." ”

Tomorrow was the night full of stars, the moon hung high on the branches, and it still rained at noon the next day.

The autumn rain was dripping, not big or small, but it was sonorous and powerful when it hit the ground, and soon the moon flowers planted in the yard were smashed.

Gu Changfeng and I knelt in the lobby and listened to my father sigh.
