Chapter 4 Hugging each other before leaving

Fang and Dai Qing laughed at Mrs. Guan's embarrassment, and the prince came in to worship Empress Lu. As soon as I approached the main hall, I heard the laughter of Empress Lu and Dai Qing, and the prince Liu Ying came in and asked the queen mother why she was laughing, and Empress Lu cleared her throat and said that it was okay. asked Liu Ying to sit down and asked him about his academic progress, Liu Ying said that it was a full regret that it was only infinite and his life was limited. Empress Lu smiled, and asked him if Princess Sha Ling'er had been asking him to accompany him around the palace, and the prince said that he had not seen Sha Ling'er recently.

It was almost noon, and Empress Lu left the prince to eat in the Changxin Palace, and the prince went back again.

These days are about to leave, and Sha Ling'er is busy negotiating other important matters of Han-Hungarian relations with the emperor, and has never seen the empress and the crown prince again. Tomorrow, Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er's welcoming team will officially set off, and the two of them quickly packed up their things this afternoon, and also packed a lot of treasures that the queen gave them, as well as Bashu tea and Shu brocade, as well as various specialties of the Han family, because they came to greet their relatives, so they couldn't take too many things.

Sha Ling'er told Niu Hu'er to tell the other Hun envoys to hurry up and pack up their things and have a good afternoon this afternoon, but they were only allowed to go out of the place where they lived in the palace where they were assigned and the back garden of their palace.

In the afternoon, the queen took Dai Qing to sit with Sha Ling'er for a while, chatted with the two of them for a while, and met the little princess who seemed to be a bosom friend, and Empress Lu also felt that time passed very quickly. In addition to Sha Ling'er's status as a princess, Empress Lu suddenly found that Sha Ling'er was just a cute and innocent little girl, and she could talk to herself. It didn't take long to see that the sky was gradually darkening, and Empress Lu asked her to go to Changxin Palace for dinner for a while, and the two of them nodded in agreement.

The next day, the rising sun gradually moved westward, slowly kissing the entire Chang'an City, kissing the rolling Yellow River, and kissing Jingshui Weishui. The winds of the late autumn season, especially the morning winds, are exceptionally cold and some are exceptionally fresh. There are no birds, and I feel that this Chang'an is quiet and harmonious, which makes people yearn for and be nostalgic.

In Changxin Palace, a morning banquet had just been held, and after the morning banquet was over, the queen asked someone to escort Sha Ling'er back to the Zhaoming Palace, waiting for the emperor and queen of the Han family to see off Princess Heqin.

As soon as he entered the Zhaoming Palace, a slender little palace maid followed up and reported, "Princess Luan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

A joyful and eager smile immediately popped up on Sha Ling'er's face, and her eyes flashed and she said hurriedly, "Spread it quickly." ”

Hurried to the door to greet Liu Ying.

As soon as Liu Ying entered the door, she saw Sha Ling'er standing at the door, she was slightly stunned, and raised her hand simply, "Princess." ”

Sha Ling'er smiled softly, pulled him to sit down next to a few cases, and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the prince's elder brother coming here?" Sha Ling'er is leaving......" Speaking of this, Princess Luan seemed to feel a little nostalgic, her soft and smiling face turned into a faint sentimentality, and her eyes looked at Liu Ying with sadness and said, "This is a thousand miles away, and Sha Ling'er doesn't know when she will be able to see ...... Meet the people of the Han family. ”

Listening to Sha Ling'er's sad words, Liu Ying was also a little sad by her, pursed her lips, smiled and comforted, "Sister Xian doesn't have to be sad, when Sister Xian comes to Chang'an, I will go out of the city for thirty miles to greet her." ”

Sha Ling'er nodded earnestly, she knew that Liu Ying would. Liu Ying's words followed, but his face was worried, his hands were tightly clenched on his kneeling legs, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly as if he had something to say. Glancing at Sha Ling'er, "Princess......" Liu Ying pondered for a long time, and said for a while, "The princess really won't tell the matter of Princess Long'an." ”

Sha Ling'er originally had a smile on her face, but after listening to what the prince said, she gradually disappeared from her smile, and looked at him with some complaints, and solemnly promised, "Sha Ling'er swears to die and will not say anything, but Brother Prince, why don't you always believe in us Huns?" ”

"No, no, it's just that the princess and her relatives are related to the two countries, I, I have to ask, if there is any offense, please forgive me." Liu Ying hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and immediately raised his hands to his eyebrows like a Confucian to apologize.

Sha Ling'er stretched out her hand in the air to help, and then said, "Brother, don't say it, Sha Ling'er understands." Brother must know that only Niu Hu'er and I know about this, and we won't talk about it. After saying that, he signaled to Niu Hu'er beside him, and Niu Hu'er also nodded quickly to dispel Liu Ying's doubts.

"The princess understands the righteousness so well, I thank you on behalf of the Han family." Liu Ying saw that they were stubbornly keeping their promises, and immediately stood up regardless of the identity of the prince of the Han Dynasty, and bowed deeply to Sha Ling'er solemnly.

Sha Ling'er hurriedly got up to help him up, and said with a smile, "Your Han family's "Book of Changes" says: The great virtue of heaven and earth is born, and the greatest morality is to love life, this sentence is valid everywhere. The Han and Hungarian countries will always be good friends with Qin and Jin, and there will never be war after that, which is the hope of Sha Ling'er and all the people of the two countries, if the war can be permanently eliminated, it can be called the greatest morality, right? Your Highness and all the people of His Highness don't have to worry, only Han and Hun will be like relatives from now on, and there will never be a halberd to see each other. ”

Liu Ying smiled with reassurance, and Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er also smiled.

After that, Sha Ling'er had a smile on her face again, going back to the time a few days ago, Liu Ying accompanied her on horseback and accompanied her to play in other palaces, Liu Ying promised her to engrave the words 'Don't forget your appearance' on her jade pendant. Sha Ling'er recalled that in the past few days, Liu Ying has accompanied her every day, and every day is so happy.

Her thoughts have been stuck in the good memories, and there is only the beauty of the past in that kind of eyes, Sha Ling'er recalled, smiling dumbly. But when she thought of her country, she seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes, and said in despair, "In the Xiongnu, Sha Ling'er will not have such a happy time at all, my father died, and they all said that my brother killed my father, and let me secretly kill my brother to regain the throne." But Sha Ling'er is very contradictory, Brother Wang is very good to me, as long as a ruler is sincere for the people, the country and the society, who will be the king so important? ”

Listening to Sha Ling'er's tearful description of her country, Liu Ying also had a trace of feelings, Sha Ling'er said, 'As long as a ruler is sincere for the people, the country and the society, who will be the king is so important?' I'm in the same predicament, but Sha Ling'er doesn't know it.

Liu Ying didn't know how to comfort her, but she tried her best to keep smiling, so that Sha Ling'er could see such a beam of light and smile in the last days of the Han family, and at the same time see a kind of hope, hope for the country and herself and the whole world.

"Princess." Liu Ying didn't want Sha Ling'er to feel sad, and remembered that she asked herself to engrave the words 'don't forget your appearance' on the jade match she gave her, and she was going to leave today, Liu Ying lowered her head and quickly took out the jade pendant that had been carved from her sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "Give it." ”

At first, Sha Ling'er didn't raise her eyes, she still lowered her head and continued to be sad, Niu Hu'er pulled the corner of her clothes and reminded her, "Princess, it's a jade pendant." ”

Only then did he raise his eyes and look at the jade pendant in Liu Ying's hand, and then the sad smile on his face disappeared, accompanied by surprise, he gently raised his hand to take the jade pendant from Liu Ying's hand, and smiled happily in his hand. Take it and run to the door of the temple, hold it up to the sun and turn it around to see, the crisp jade color, warm and moist, under the sunlight, the four words "look not forget" are even clearer, written in small script.

Sha Ling'er took the jade pendant and looked left and right, like a little girl who had been rewarded, her eyes were bent like a moon, and a crisp sound echoed in the palace.

"That's good." Sha Ling'er likes to say, and she can't put it down and whispers alone: Don't forget your looks...... Don't forget what you look like...... Don't forget what you look like......

Liu Ying knew what she meant, but he didn't know how to answer her words, so he had to stand beside Sha Ling'er and let Sha Ling'er laugh, and he also followed her to be happy, because he knew that she was also a person full of melancholy in his heart.

Sha Ling'er happily hung the jade pendant carefully and meticulously on her waist, Liu Ying's eyes lit up, she planned to hang it up for Sha Ling'er herself, but she didn't want her to misunderstand, she just stopped when she was about to lift her feet, and her eyes returned to their original brilliance, watching Sha Ling'er hang up, he also smiled.

Sha Ling'er looked at Liu Ying with a soft smile, Liu Ying was meeting Sha Ling'er's clear eyes, and bent her to give her a handsome smile, the four eyes were closely facing each other, innocent and kind two young girls.

"The Han family made Sha Linger feel that there is love in the world, and this trip has seen the courtesy, righteousness, humility and filial piety of the Han family, and also seen the vastness of the Han family, which is always worth the trip." Sha Ling'er said with a smile on her face.

"If I have the chance, I think I will do the same as the princess." Liu Ying said, Sha Ling'er smiled.

After that, there was a silent silence, the air was diffuse, the sunlight slanted on each other's faces, and the face of Sha Ling'er was brilliant again.

"Yes...... Hug me? Sha Ling'er asked shyly, her eyes not leaving Liu Ying's eyes.

Liu Ying was stunned at first, her eyes widened, she never thought that Sha Ling'er was so unrestrained, and a woman actually proposed it herself to ask the prince, who had just met for a few days, to hug her. But since the first day Sha Ling'er came to Chang'an, she showed her uninhibited character, like the Huns, Liu Ying no longer felt embarrassed, and this was not a shameful thing. Besides, Sha Ling'er and her own hearts are as pure as a spring flowing to the bottom, her youthful cuteness and light sentimentality make Liu Ying also want to hug her gently to give her encouragement and comfort, this hug must be a brother-sister hug. Then her eyes softened, Liu Ying walked up to Sha Ling'er, stretched out her hands and gently wrapped her into her arms, both hands around Sha Ling'er, in the end, it was a woman, and her petite body was immediately submerged in Liu Ying's wide arms. Sha Ling'er leaned on his solid chest, her cheek pressed against his chest, as if she could hear Liu Ying's heartbeat beating like a drum, and she could also feel the warmth of his body surrounding her, and she felt a sense of dependence. Sha Ling'er smiled gracefully, intoxicated, and slowly closed her eyes. The two innocent children hugged each other cleanly, which may be a testimony of the eternal goodness between Han and Hungary. In Sha Ling'er's view, perhaps the men of the Han family are the most affectionate, unlike the unrestrained of the Xiongnu men, the men of the Han family are euphemistic and affectionate, and pay attention to feelings and life.

Liu Ying hugged her, her chin against Sha Ling'er's head, she could smell the fragrance of a different woman from the Central Plains, her figure was thin, she completely submerged her in the crook of her wide arms, and a clean smile appeared in her eyes, and she hugged her tightly.

"Brother Prince, Sha Ling'er will wish you a happy and safe life in the far north." Sha Ling'er leaned on her side and secretly wished, "It's so good......"
