A year later, Mrs. Li gave birth to Liu Che's fifth son, although the child was born mediocre, without half of the splendor of his mother and uncle, Liu Che was also overjoyed, and was knighted at the age of one, and rewarded countless rewards.

When Li Yannian came to see the child, she was leaning on the pillar to enjoy the flowers, wearing a light tea-white spring shirt, loosely holding her bun, holding an ivory silk pen peach blossom fan, looking at the flowers in the garden, but her expression was tired.

"Wechen has seen Madame." He knelt down and performed the standard courtesy of a king.

She still looked at the courtyard, and after a while, she slowly spoke, "Get up." ”

After a long time, she said lightly: "Today's spring flowers are rippling, why don't Master Li play a song?" ”

"No."

Over the years, every time he came to see her, she neither called him brother, nor did she say much, two people, a piano, a plate of turnips, it was an afternoon.

He took the lyre handed over by the maid, sat on the ground, the sound of the guqin is not so beautiful, but it is better than the simple and clear, the melodious and tactful music and the faint and born of the incense complement each other, he lowered his head and stroked the strings, and said: "Now...... That's it, forget it, right? ”

She pulled out a sarcastic laugh, "Yes, I can't kill my son's father." ”

There was a small trill, but it soon smoothed out, and the young overseer kept his head down and whispered, "Are you in love with him?" ”

For a long time, long enough that he thought she wouldn't answer, he heard a chuckle, "Sort of." She sighed.

There was silence for a moment, and neither of them spoke again, only the faint sound of the piano echoed in the room.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that in those years of enduring humiliation and rejoicing under the crotch of the nobles, his mother was angry to death, his own brother spat on his face, and was bitten by a hound full of scars, and he had to pay a smile to please His Majesty, he wanted to say that for her, he could live like a dog.

But she said lightly, forget it, I'm in love with him.

He couldn't say anything.

The maid was attracted by the sound of the piano - whenever Master Li came, these girls were always very attentive, and what they saw was such a picture, a man in dark clothes, sitting on the ground playing with the guqin, his eyebrows were as moist as a crown of jade, and the beauty in tea and white clothes was reclining in front of the window, looking out of the window at the prosperity of the brocade, but one hand was gently tapping the beat on the fan. The fair-skinned baby slept in the sound of his uncle's piano, and he was cute and cute.

It's obviously the most beautiful picture in the world.

But I don't know why, there is a feeling that makes people want to cry.

In 103 A.D., Mrs. Li suffered from a serious illness, and the medicine stone was reckless, and the emperor bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and vegetarians, and served the gods and Buddhas.

"Madame, ma'am, do you really refuse to see me?"

His Majesty was turned away, and stood outside Mrs. Li's dormitory in confusion, like a child who didn't know what he had done.

After a long time, the voice came out of the door, and it was still light: "The concubine's appearance is ruined, and you can't see the emperor." ”

"It's all this time, how can I care about this? Madam, I promise ......" The emperor smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, then opened them again, "If Madame is willing to see me, she will add an official to your brother!" ”

There was silence in the door for a longer time, and I don't know how long it took before Mrs. Li's voice came: "The honorable official is in the emperor, and he is not here." ”

The emperor brushed his sleeves away, and after a long time, she opened the upside-down mirror, carefully looked at her haggard and withered face, and for a long time, calmly instructed the maid: "Put makeup on me." ”

Li Yannian felt that he was stepping on the clouds with every step, his left foot almost tripped over his right foot, and when he fell to the ground, his whole body trembled: "Minister...... Minister......"

Under the moistening of rouge and gouache, the face in the Wuling mirror is still beautiful, just like when she was fifteen years old when she looked at hibiscus in the water, she wore a crimson Qiongyu dance dress, and she wore a strict ring.

"Master Li, play a song for me."

He trembled and picked up the piano, half loud, before he plucked the first note.

She began to dance with the sound of the piano, and the Li family practiced hard for countless days and nights, achieving a posture like a young willow, no matter how difficult the angle was, it could also be easily bent, but over the years, even in the face of His Majesty, she had never danced to her heart's content, and the intricate dance steps were as gorgeous and rich as a magnificent brocade.

Even when she was adopted by her advocate, she never practiced dance for the sake of acting.

The little boy in Zhilan Yushu always got up before dawn to hang his throat, and he was still practicing dancing late at night, "Brother, does it hurt?" Does it hurt? She stood on tiptoe and looked at his wounds, "It hurts to practice, this is kung fu." He said it as seriously as a little adult.

She drugged him. He helped her press her legs, and the two of them practiced dancing together, practiced the piano together, beat them together, painted turtles on their younger brother's faces, and occasionally got a few copper plates for pocket money, so they went to the street to buy a salted dried plum, added it to the corn balls, and ate it next to the head.

Now that I think about it, those years when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the days when she was escorted by her mother to practice dancing and practicing the piano, turned out to be the best time in her life.

The Li family is not her real family after all, she always keeps in mind that if the emperor who slaughtered her entire family gets retribution, if she is mediocre, but she is extremely talented, as she grows older, her beauty is like a sharpened knife that is getting brighter and brighter.

The son of the Li family, who once held his innocence, suddenly began to appear at the feast of the wealthy, as a hibiscus flower that I see pity, as long as you are powerful and powerful, you can pick it, he is famous, and even got the love of the princess, and even later, he was corrupted and entered the palace naturally.

The arrogance of the Li family became a laughing stock, and after that, she entered the palace, invited pets, and rewarded Rong Ai could not make her happy, and after a few words from her, the emperor ordered the noble children who bullied Li Yannian to be exiled, and she finally felt happy, painful, and happy.

She turned around, and finally couldn't stand steadily, Li Yannian stepped forward to catch her.

"You already knew, didn't you?" Li Yannian smiled bitterly: "You knew you were going to die, so you gave up revenge?" ”

In this embrace after many years of absence, she raised her hand and gently stroked his face, for so many years, he still has a beauty that has broken the hearts of countless women, his eyes are so dark, and the bridge of his nose is high, which is her favorite look.

He didn't know that the reason why she gave up revenge was because she understood that after killing the king, he and the entire Li family would be slaughtered by the whole family, and she couldn't let another family be destroyed for the sake of one family, not to mention, there was still him in this family.

There are many things he doesn't know, such as when she was young, her greatest desire was not revenge, but to grow up quickly, to grow up to be like those beautiful sisters, to dance to the sound of his piano, and let him know that she was no worse than any woman in this world.

"Come home with me, it's too cold outside."

In the deep twilight, he held out his hand to her.

In this way, it is a lifetime.

When the maid came in, she saw the peerless Lord Li, holding his sister, singing a song that was familiar to the entire Han Dynasty:

—

There are beautiful women in the north

Peerless and independent

A smile captivates the city

Laugh at the country again

Rather than know the city and the country

—

When Tang Li broke free from the dream, he saw Li Yannian prostrate in front of Jiang Chendu. Tang Li endured his dizziness, got up from the ground, walked to Jiang Chen's side, and kicked Li Yannian to the ground. He fell to the ground, motionless.

"What's the matter, it's not going to die, is it?" Tang Li was taken aback.

Jiang Chen glanced at him indifferently: "It's not dead, he fell into his dream and couldn't get out." ”

Jiang Chen didn't let him have a nervous breakdown, but did a trick in his dream. In Li Yannian's dream, in fact, nothing has changed, Mrs. Li is still a favorite concubine, and Li Yannian is still a courtier, but in this dream, Mrs. Li is not dead, and Li Yannian can still occasionally enter the palace to play the piano to Mrs. Li as before.

She sat in front of the window admiring the flowers, he sat on the ground playing the piano, two people, a piano, a plate of turnips, such a humble happiness, it could make him unwilling to wake up.

"It's so relieving! Tell this grandson to fix me! Tang Li came back to his senses, only to find that Jiang Chen was wearing very little, and suddenly became angry in his heart: "You are sick!" What about clothes? ”

"Give it to the field chicken." Jiang Chen said.

"I took it, Nima really took it!" I took off my coat: "No, put it on!" it! Hurry up! ”

Jiang Chen put on Tang Li's coat, because she wore a lot of clothes inside, and bought the largest size of the same model for men and women, it was quite easy for him to put it on, after putting it on, he did not tie the zipper, but opened the coat and took Tang Li into his arms.

"Damn! You're as cold as ice! Tang Li complained.

"You too!"

"Didn't you tell you to wait for me at the bottom of the mountain?"

"We'll freeze to death if we wait any longer."

"If you don't come, I'll beat you up for such a kid!"

"Well, fall to the ground and beat up."

"By the way, how did you deal with him?"

"I'll tell you later"

"What's the matter? Right now! ”

"Don't talk now"

"Why?"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Lili realized that at some point, a red sun was rising in the east, the clouds were dyed, and the dazzling golden light was sprinkled on the snow and sprinkled on the pines and cypresses that had gone through the winter, dispelling the cold and darkness, and it was magnificent.

Tang Li closed her mouth, hugged Jiang Chen's waist, and quietly admired the rising sun, even if her eyes hurt, she didn't take her eyes off, and she couldn't wait to melt in this golden light in the cold of the night.

At this time, Tian Ji was carrying a suitcase and came up with a suitcase, standing stupidly not far from them.
