CHAPTER XLII

"Cheng, I'm relieved if you say that."

Ye Anan patted his clothes, got up and said, "It's not too early, I have to go back to the palace." ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Tuoba Yu hurriedly said, "Why are you leaving now?" It's not easy for us to see each other once, so you can stay tonight, and we'll talk to ourselves at night. ”

"No, my father specially ordered me to go back to the palace in the evening to accompany him to dinner." Ye Anan put on his cloak and said with a smile, "I'll send someone to summon you into the palace in a few days, and it's the same if you stay with me for a few days and then go home." ”

Tuoba Yu followed her to the door and said briskly: "Okay, then I won't send it, you should be careful on the road." ”

……

In the days after returning to the palace, Ye Anan returned to the ordinary days of embroidery and calligraphy, and occasionally called Tuoba Yu and Xu Manjiao to the palace to play and chat.

On this day, she was embroidering a veil in the temple, when she saw Chun'er running in in a hurry.

"The princess is not good, it is not good."

She suddenly rushed in so frightened that Ye Anan was startled, and she pricked the needle into her finger carelessly.

"Hiss......" Ye Anan put his finger in his mouth, "What's the fuss?"

"Princess, Sima Gongzi ran away from home and joined the army!"

"What?!"

Ye Anxin was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "What's going on?" He is a weak scholar who can't resist and can't mention, what kind of army is he from? Chun'er, did you hear it wrong?"

"How so!" Chun'er stomped her feet and said anxiously, "The slave didn't believe it at first, and I asked Xiaofuzi to confirm it again and again before I dared to come back and report to the princess." ”

"That Sima Gongzi didn't know what evil he had fallen for since the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, and locked himself in the house for three days and three nights, and no one was seen. Later, he suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter saying that he was going to make a meritorious career and would come back when he became famous. It's, what's going on!"

When Ye Anan heard this, she remembered what she said that day in order to provoke him to give up, and she was suddenly confused, and she slapped the bed angrily: "This nerd nerd!" Why are you so inflexible!"

The Sima family has always been a scholarly family, and has been a writer for generations. As the son-in-law of the family, Sima Changping received an orthodox Confucian education.

He is a good hand at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but when it comes to marching and fighting, he has never been in contact with it.

He usually rides horses and shoots archery as a pastime, but he still misses nine out of ten shots. Knives, guns, swords, halberds are even more incomprehensible, and even a chicken has never been killed, so he followed the master to play Tai Chi to strengthen his body. What does he use to kill the enemy? Do you fight people with your head? It's not enough to give someone a tooth sacrifice!

Ye An'an's head was as big as an ox, and his thoughts were confused: "What does my uncle's family say about this?"

Chun'er shook her head: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng was so angry that he almost fainted, and sent someone to arrest Sima Gongzi back, but I heard that Sima Gongzi's name was not found among the recruits in the new point." It is estimated that he went directly to the border pass to change his identity and voted for the army. In the end, it is impossible to count the whole army one by one, and now Sima Mansion only says that Sima Gongzi is going out to study. Yi Nuwen looked at this Sima Gongzi this time, I am afraid that he is determined to make a career. ”

"What a career! The battlefield is full of bloodthirsty and murderous rough men, his body and bones, whether he can lift the knife or not, it's hard to say! If you really want to go to the battlefield, if you can come back, there will be green smoke on the ancestral grave!"

Ye An'an was anxious, and hurriedly walked back and forth, she was so anxious that she slapped herself on the mouth, and said regretfully: "It's all my fault, how can I say something like that!" I know that men have a lot of self-esteem, why do I say such hurtful things? If something really happens to him, I won't be safe for the rest of my life!"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Go, go and call Li Nian'er into the palace!"

Chun'er was stunned: "Miss Li?"

……

"What do you say?! He ran away to join the army?!" Li Nian'er's eyes widened, the tea in his hand spilled all over the ground, and when he heard this, he said anxiously, "The battlefield is precipitous, how could he, a weak scholar, not think of running to join the army!"

When Ye Anan heard this, he lowered his head and pulled the handkerchief guiltily for a while. Li Nian'er was also stunned when she saw her like this, remembering that day she overheard the conversation between the two of them, and she was silent for a while.

She felt a little sour in her heart, could Sima Changping actually do this for the sake of Princess Yong'an? Don't even want your life?

I felt angry for him for a while, such a good son, why didn't the princess look down on him!

Seeing that Ye An'an didn't say a word, Li Nian'er gritted her teeth and said: "Since it has reached this point, the people's daughter also dares to ask Her Royal Highness the princess for permission again, Sima Gongzi can spare his life for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness really can't accept him at all!"

Ye Anan lowered his eyes, and the handkerchief in his hand was twisted into a ball. She bit her lower lip and shook her head slowly but firmly.

"Okay." Li Nian'er breathed a long sigh of relief, got up suddenly, and said, "With the words of His Royal Highness, the people's daughter will settle down." I'm going to look for him at the border gate, and I'm sure I'll bring him back safely!"

Ye An'an had hope in his eyes: "There is no name of him among the recruits reported this year, do you know where to look for him?"

Li Nian'er frowned and thought: "If it is decided today, there are only thieves in the south and west of Xinjiang." The southern frontier is far away and the war is relatively small, if he wants to make a contribution as soon as possible, only the western frontier is the best place to go. I heard my father say that now the border pass in Fancheng happens to be the season of recruitment, and he is going there eighty percent. ”

Seeing that Li Nian'er was about to go out in a hurry, Ye Anan hurriedly stopped, "Are you going to join the army?" Now that we know where he is, let my uncle send someone to find him back. The border is far away, how can you go as a girl?"

"No, ordinary people are afraid that they won't be able to pull him back. Don't look at him, he usually looks gentle and elegant, but once he makes up his mind, he will definitely hit the south wall and not look back. Besides, the barracks is so big, he has changed his name again, and others may not be able to find him as soon as possible. The battlefield has no eyes, and I don't feel at ease for a moment, I have to go in person!"

Li Nian'er comforted, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have been learning martial arts from my father since I was a child, and even ordinary men are not my opponents." If he really doesn't want to come back, I will stay by his side, even if I fight for my life, I will protect him!"

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Ye An'an, and then turned around and left without looking back.

Looking at her back as she left in a hurry, Ye Anan sighed.

Chun'er was puzzled: "Why did Your Highness tell Miss Li about this?"

Ye Anan didn't answer, she stared at the green willows by the palace wall for a long time.

The sun is warm, and the wicker is blown by the wind, like a free elf flying happily.

If it is not broken, it will not stand, and the truth of adversity will be true.

She did everything she had to do, she helped what she could, and the rest of the matter only depended on creation.

If this can make them rely on each other, it can be regarded as a good thing.
