"Eldest sister, where did you go just now?"

Princess Fuyu sat still, and her bright makeup and auspicious clothes set off her like a dummy.

But as soon as she spoke, she was still Liu Yan's familiar sister.

"I went to see Tian Lin just now."

Liu Yan was stunned: "Tian Lin? Didn't he ...... "Died early?" What the hell is the big sister in this broad daylight?

"He's not dead, he's back. He sent me a letter just now and wanted to see me, so I went. ”

"How did he get back? Didn't the Tian family bring the corpse back at that time? Liu Yan felt that his brain was a little messy.

If Tian Lin hadn't died, why did he delay returning to Beijing for so long? Even counting the head and tail, it's been almost a year. The eldest sister turned out to be married to him, but when he died, he couldn't ask the eldest sister to be a widow for him, right? The eldest sister didn't marry, and the second sister's family affairs that had been scheduled were also delayed, and the queen mother made great efforts to arrange the Meng family's family affairs, but Tian Lin jumped out at this time not sooner or later.

Liu Yan's heart sank.

"Why is he looking for you here?" When he was in the chapel, he said, "What did he say to you?" ”

Princess Fuyu said lightly: "He asked me to go with him." ”

"What? How dare he say it! ”

No matter what reason Tian Lin came back from the dead, Princess Fuyu's marriage to Meng Xu today is a matter decided by the emperor, and it is impossible to change it. The sedan chair has been carried here, although it has not yet visited the church, and the eldest sister can't go with Tian Lin at this time, so won't this family affair become a big joke? Where are the faces of the royal family and the Meng family?

"If he is really reluctant, he should go to his father to be the master, what's the use of looking for you?" The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more angry he became: "What happened to him?" If he didn't die, who would be buried by the Tian family? If he wants to live, why didn't he come back sooner? Can't people come back or send a letter back? ”

Princess Fuyu glanced at her helplessly: "There is an inside story in the middle, which is very complicated." Okay, don't make a public announcement about this matter yet, he can't show up in public yet, for fear of his life. ”

Liu Yan responded: "Okay," and asked again: "Can't you talk to the queen mother?" ”

"Of course you can talk to my father and queen mother."

Qi Yan held the hijab over: "Eldest sister, then are you still visiting the church today?" ”

But after asking, she felt a little silly.

If Princess Fuyu didn't want to visit the church, then she would go with Tian Lin directly, why bother coming back?

Princess Fuyu's face was thick and covered with a shell, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow at all.

But Liu Yan felt that the eldest sister seemed to be a little sad.

When she was about to get into the sedan chair after finishing her makeup in the morning, she wasn't like that. At that time, the joy seemed to be able to shine through the thick auspicious clothes and fat powder, but now it is gone.

Princess Fuyu put on her hijab, and someone from outside the door also came to urge: "Princess, the auspicious time has arrived." ”

Huang Lian and Bai Zhi helped Princess Fuyu out.

Liu Yan also took Guiyuan to watch the ceremony, but he had something on his mind, and the excitement was not very enjoyable. Meng Xu's little white face probably recovered a lot of strength after resting for a while, looking at the spirit of the head is better than when he greeted the kiss, there was a joy in his heart, the two walked to the front of the hall with the red silk, and Meng Xu turned his head to look at the bride from time to time. Even though he was covered with a hijab and couldn't see his face, he didn't know what he was always looking at. People outside crowd everyone to each other, and festive words don't need to be thrown out like money.

Liu Yan suddenly thought of something.

Is Tian Lin gone now? If he is still here now, watching Princess Fuyu get married, I don't know what kind of mood he feels?

Her eyes wandered among the people, the faces, unfamiliar, familiar, talking, smiling, oiled and sweated by the sun, and some with strange expressions, and some with jealousy in their eyes.

It was not Tian Lin who was jealous and hateful, this person Liu Yan didn't recognize, and he didn't take it to heart.

Just when this person turned sideways, Liu Yan saw a blurry face, déjà vu, and disappeared in a flash.

Gui Yuan cautiously reminded on the side: "Princess? Princess, let's go inside, it's hot outside. ”

"Oh, go in."

Liu Yan was a little absent-minded when he walked inside.

Liu Yan of the princess's mansion has been here before. In the previous dynasty, this was the mansion of a prince, extremely luxurious, and the terrain was good, and the father gave it to the eldest sister and changed it to the princess's mansion. The last time Liu Yan came, it was still being renovated, and the last time he came, he ...... The prospective horse is still Tian Lin. It was also very hot at that time, and Tian Lin was next to his eldest sister.

But now that the eldest sister is married, the mansion has not changed, but the horse has changed.

Things in the world are so unpredictable, who would have thought of it today?

Liu Yan looked at the red eyes inside and out, and was a little distracted.

When she was digging taro in the countryside and catching river fish, where could she have imagined that one day she would become the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves?

When Liu Yan returned to the palace, the sun hung obliquely in the west, Zhu Gaiche entered the palace from Jingfeng Gate, outside the palace gate was an open bluestone slab land, there were no trees, and there was no cover, a large piece of white ground was scalded, and people couldn't open their eyes. It is said that for safety, there are few big trees in the palace, and it looks extremely empty and quiet.

Before arriving at Empress Cao's Yilan Palace, the queen's personal palace maid Yingluo greeted her from afar, bowed with a smile, and asked her: "The princess has been here for most of the day, how can you have fun?" I heard that the Celestial Princess's Mansion is going to be lively today. ”

Liu Yan is familiar with Yingluo, and he doesn't say kind words to her: "What's happy? It's full of people, it's a mess. The eldest sister will not live in the palace in the future, leaving me so bored. ”

"The princess's mansion is close, if you want to think about the eldest princess, you can go to her from time to time. Princess, I'm afraid you didn't eat at noon, right? The queen has specially cooked your favorite gluten soup, and the princess can drink two more bowls. If you have anything else to eat, just tell the slave and maid to let the dining room do it in a hurry. ”

This dinner in the Yilan Hall is not as simple as the meal in the palace. Queen Cao really cooked herself, baked green onion oil cakes, and burned Liu Yan's favorite chicken shredded gluten soup. These two things are what Liu Yan used to like to eat, don't look at her usual picky mouth, but when she sees gluten soup, she can drink two large bowls, and she can only drink her stomach with a shy stomach and dare not bow her head.

The gluten is washed extraordinarily, and the soup is mixed with shredded chicken, wheat kernels, and the water used when cooking the soup is not water, but the basin of noodle water washed out when washing gluten, mixed with chicken soup, it tastes thick, thick, and extraordinarily fragrant. To wash gluten, you have to use good fine white noodles, and the mixed noodles can't be washed, and the average villager is reluctant to throw money so much, although Liu Yan liked this when he was a child, he was difficult to drink. Now that she's a princess, I'm not afraid that I can't afford to drink it, but the people who used to make soup don't cook anymore.

Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Queen Cao finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned to the palace maid Yingluo on the side to put some cold cabbage sum in the bowl for her daughter: "Don't just drink soup, eat some food." ”

Liu Yan silently ate the cold dishes, and she could taste the dishes as soon as she ate them, which was also mixed by the queen mother herself.

When the table was removed, Liu Yan sat next to Queen Cao, like a three-year-old child, and the whole person snuggled into Queen Cao's arms.

"What's wrong?"

Her daughter hasn't been so coquettish for a few days, and Queen Cao is still a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

"Don't make soup next time, it's tiring to wash gluten, what if your back pain happens again?"

A few days ago, she handled Princess Fuyu's family affairs, and because of the heat, Queen Cao was sick again, but she didn't say anything, and the medicine was also quiet, except for a few people, outsiders didn't know about it.

Empress Cao didn't expect her to say this, and after a while, she touched her forehead and whispered, "I'm fine, and I don't do it every day." ”

Liu Yan didn't say anything, but he didn't let go.

"Something happened in front of the church today." Liu Yan sat up straight, told his mother that Tian Lin was not dead, came back quietly, and wanted Princess Fuyu to elope with him. Seeing that Empress Cao was not too surprised to hear this, she asked, "The queen mother already knew?" ”

"I only found out about the fact that he didn't die. But he actually went to the princess's mansion, but I don't know about this. ”

Liu Yan felt that Empress Cao should not know, and if she knew, she would never let this happen.

"The eldest sister is not very happy when she comes back, does she want to go with Tian Lin more?"

Empress Cao touched her daughter's face.

Liu Yan has not been by her side since she was a child, she grew up beating like a wild boy, and Queen Cao is often angry with her, worrying about when her daughter will grow up and be sensible. Now that she has finally taken a step that is no longer ignorant, she can't be happy in her heart.

"If she wants to leave, no one can stop her. Since she stayed, that's what she meant and no one forced her. ”

"And she...... Why be sad? ”

Empress Cao sighed: "Your eldest sister will not be really happy whether she leaves or stays." ”

Stayed, she lost Tian Lin alone. gone, she was responsible for everyone.

Tian and Meng both have a marriage contract with her, and it is not Princess Fuyu's fault that things have become what they are today, but the saddest person in her heart is afraid that she is also her.

Empress Cao lovingly wiped the beads of sweat on her daughter's forehead.

Her daughter has not been around since she was a child, but Princess Fuyu has always taken care of her, and the two have always been close, stronger than sisters. Now that Princess Fuyu is married, you can think that she must be sad in her heart.

"Are you sleeping in Yilan Hall tonight? Shall I wash your hair? ”

Liu Yan nodded sullenly.

Queen Cao asked people to prepare water and change clothes to help Liu Yan wash her hair. Liu Yan leaned comfortably on the edge of the bathtub, and she let out a long breath on the hot water on her head. Empress Cao smeared balm on her hair with balm, and then scooped a scoop of water and poured it down, and the white balm foam was washed away by the water.

"Mother......

"Huh?"

Liu Yan calls her queen mother most of the time, and rarely calls her mother.

"Do people have to get married in this life?"

Empress Cao replied to her seriously, not perfunctory: "Most people want to get married." ”

"But to get married...... It seems to be quite difficult. ”

The eldest sister's family affair was full of twists and turns, and she had a baby kiss in the countryside in her early years, but the other party's fever was gone. When I was a teenager, I decided on another course, and it was gone on the battlefield. Tian Lin was determined, and Tian Lin died in a landslide.
