On the cold pool surrounded by cliffs, the man's waist-length black hair is half bundled, and the wide-sleeved robe is blowing in the wind, the figure hanging in the air is faintly shiny and flowing, and the clear pupils staring at the cold pool contain deep longing and expectation. The eyebrows are picturesque, the demeanor is elegant, and it is really an immortal.

He raised his hand to make a magic seal, and saw the water swell suddenly, and a moment later a crystal carved coffin slowly rose from the deep pool, and then landed steadily on the shore. He landed in front of the ice coffin after him, and when he saw the woman in the coffin, he seemed to be sad and happy for a while, and he couldn't help but cry.

"It turns out that this dream is true, Yan'er, you are really here. But where is your soul? ”

The man couldn't help frowning and thinking, if you want to find Yan'er's soul, you must first find the man in your dream, but the world is so big, where to find him? What's more, even his face in the dream is blurred.

The dream was too fragmented, with only a few fragmentary fragments, and it was impossible to know the identity of his previous life. He remembered that the man had asked him for a string of dried incense in his hand, and he refused because Kun Xiang had given him the woman he loved so much. He was still a little annoyed that he had missed Yan'er and fallen in love with another woman in his life. In another clip, the man takes the incense and a jasper from him after his death.

In other words, the only way to find this man is to find the string of dried incense first. Thinking that the aroma of the descent could attract cranes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sank the ice coffin back to the bottom of the pool, turning into a phoenix and rushing to the sky.

A few days later, Hua Ruoshui's birthday banquet was held in the palace as scheduled.

Hua Feiyan and Ling Yue sat on the main seat of the banquet, Hua Ruoshui and Ji Lingzhi sat on the first seat on the lower right, Hua Yuran sat on the second seat, and Hua Mian and Bao'er sat on the first seat on the lower left. There are singing and dancing at the banquet, there are staggered plans, and there are endless birthday ceremonies. The atmosphere is harmonious on the surface, but secretly it is a little smell of gunsmoke.

On the surface, the empress is holding a birthday banquet for Hua Ruoshui, but in fact, it is more to save face for Hua Myanmar, which can be seen from the arrangement of the seats. It was because Hua Ruoshui and Hua Yuran hadn't given Hua Mian a good look since the beginning of the banquet.

Hua Mian didn't care much about the result that he had foreseen earlier, but he was a little embarrassed, why were those royal relatives and courtiers so discerning, and all the gifts were prepared in two?

Halfway through the banquet, the wine was half drunk, and I suddenly heard the waiter singing: "Emperor Xihe has arrived." ”

This singing and harmony really shocked many people, especially Hua Mian.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, it's not that she doesn't miss him, but every time she thinks of him, she thinks of Pei Gongcuo's death in front of her in the smoke of that day. Unexpectedly, after hiding for two years, he finally found him. She looked at Ji Lingzhi opposite, and saw that he looked away from her with a weak heart.

She had expected this day, but she didn't expect him to move so quickly. And when he appeared in front of her, her heart still skipped a beat.

He has matured a lot, his handsome eyebrows and eyes have more coldness after going through the ordeal, his thin lips are pursed, with a little aggressive indifference and alienation, and his heroic spirit comes out of his body. However, since he stepped into the hall, his gaze fell directly on Hua Mian without bias, as if he had been smelted in the Dan furnace of Taishang Laojun, so hot that it could almost melt people. It was only after he had stood still that he turned his gaze to the two seated on the Lord's seat and saluted respectfully.

Hua Feiyan smiled and said: "Emperor Xihe came from afar, I have missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Ji Yunye smiled warmly: "It's me who is sudden, I came uninvited, and I hope the empress doesn't blame." ”

"You can come to celebrate the birthday of your beloved daughter, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame it? Come on, add a seat next to Xi and Emperor I. ”

"Not necessarily! I'll just sit down next to Myanmar. As he spoke, he walked over to Hua Mian and sat down.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. No wonder the empress thinks so highly of Aunt Mian'er, it turns out that she has some relationship with Emperor Xihe.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by Ji Yunye and Hua Mian, the empress hurriedly raised her glass and invited everyone to toast the two birthday princesses.

When people's attention was distracted, Ji Yunye hugged Bao'er, who was looking up at him, to his lap and said, "Don't you know me?" ”

Bao'er shook her head with wide eyes.

Ji Yunye scratched his little nose and said, "My name is Ji Yunye." Do you know each other now? ”

Bao'er nodded earnestly.

"Call me what?"

"Uncle Unye"

The soft and glutinous children's voice made Ji Yun's ambition crispy, but he was not very satisfied with this title, so he leaned over to his ear and said, "Call me father." ”

Bao'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, and her mouth pouted for a while, and there were two bubbles of tears in her eyes.

Ji Yunye was surprised and said, "Why are you crying?" ”

Bao'er said aggrievedly: "It turns out that my father is not dead. Then why don't you stay with Boa? Bao'er misses her father so much! ”

Ji Yunye was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hua Mian, but saw that she was holding a cup and sipping wine while thinking about something. He said to Bao'er: "If you can persuade your mother to return to the east with me, your father will never leave you." ”

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Bao'er turned her head and tugged at Hua Mian's sleeve, which pulled her thoughts back. He smiled and said, "Mother, shall we go back to the east with my father?" ”

"Father?" Hua Mian looked at Ji Yunye in surprise, but saw that he was looking at him expectantly. He even asked Bao'er to call him Father! Although his heart was a little sour, he didn't want him to mislead the child, so he said to Bao'er, "He is not your father......"

"Bo'er, what do you like to eat? Father clips it for you to eat. ”

Bao'er was still waiting for Hua Mian's next step, but when he interrupted her like this, she blinked her big watery eyes and said, "My mother said that Bao'er is growing her body and can't be a picky eater." ”

"Well, your mother is right, come, eat more meat." Ji Yunye said as he sandwiched a basket of braised pork and put it on the plate in front of Bao'er.

"However, Ah Yue said that eating a vegetarian diet can reduce the body, purify the blood, and prolong life."

Ji Yunye was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Don't you never eat meat?" ”

Bao'er nodded and said, "Ah Yue said that all living beings are equal and should not eat the flesh of all living beings. ”

Ji Yunye couldn't help but look at Hua Mian: "You just let Ling Yue teach the child like this?" ”

Hua Mian said: "I think Ah Yue is right." Since I had a heart disease, Ling Yue has never let me eat meat again, and it is precisely because of my daily adherence to the cultivation of grains, vegetables and fruits and Chinese medicine that you can now see a me who has regained her health. ”

Ji Yunye said distressedly: "Are you avoiding me because of heart disease in the past two years?" ”

"Not exactly."

"Is that because of him?"

Her silence made his expression suddenly darken: "It's been more than two years since he died, why can't you let him go?" ”

"It's not a question of whether you can let him go or not. But when I think of you, I think of his death. ”

"You think I caused his death? But I was also shot by an arrow at the time. ”

"You don't kill him, but he dies because of you. If you hadn't attacked Nanxiu, he would still be alive and well. ”

"And then?" Ji Yunye grabbed her hand and said with a sad expression, "Then you will live with him lovingly, grow old together, and forget me completely?" ”

His radical actions caused many people's side eyes, Hua Mian hurriedly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after the banquet, you will be gossiped about like this." ”

"Who can't see that I'm here for you? What's more, I'm not afraid of being gossiped about, and I'm going to take you back to the East to leave you as the queen. ”

Hua Mian looked at him with compassion, not knowing whether to pity him or feel sorry for herself, but finally said ruthlessly: "I will not go back with you." ”

"Why?"

"I have more important things to do now."

"What's the matter?" He looked at Hua Ruoshui and Hua Yuran on the opposite side, and saw that their eyes swept towards them "inadvertently" from time to time, so he approached her and whispered, "Be the empress?" ”

Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, her eyes swept around, and she was slightly relieved to see that no one was paying attention, but she didn't intend to collide with Ling Yue's gaze. He squinted at them, as if he could read what they were saying. She hurriedly turned her eyes away, wanting to lend Bao'er vegetables to get rid of the embarrassment, but when she saw that Bao'er was looking at them curiously with big eyes, she was shocked, and hurriedly leaned into Bao'er's ear and said, "Your Uncle Yunye is talking casually, don't you say this, you know?" ”

Bao'er nodded first, and then said with some puzzlement: "Isn't he Bao'er's father?" Why did you become Uncle Yunye again? ”

"He's not your ......"

"Although it's not now, after I marry your mother, I will naturally be your father."

Bao'er's comprehension is really strong, and he said clearly: "So that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?" I thought you were my father, and I was happy. ”

"Aren't you unhappy if I'm not your own father?"

"As long as there is a father, I will be happy."

Ji Yunye scratched his little nose with satisfaction, and turned to Hua Mian and said, "Did you hear that?" Boa wants a father. ”

Hua Mian was really speechless, she put some vegetarian dishes into Bao'er's plate and said, "Eat more to grow taller." Eat silently, sleep silently, do you know? ”

Bao'er let out an "oh" and got off Ji Yunye's lap, sat between them and ate intently.

Ji Yunye looked at him dotingly and said, "Bao'er is really like you when you were a child, you are so well-behaved that it hurts people's hearts." ”

His words once again aroused the sourness in Hua Mian's heart. Things change, the years destroy each other, the good times of those childhood sweethearts are gone forever, after so many changes in the world, they really can't go back.

After Bao'er was full, she fell asleep on Hua Mian's lap, Ji Yunye couldn't help laughing, hugged him into his arms and said, "I'll send Bao'er back to the room to sleep." ”

Hua Mian did not refuse, thanked the empress for the banquet and apologized, and left the table with him early.
