The long corridor of the study stretches in twists and turns, around the courtyard, near the pond water, through the secluded place, and the two sides are full of all kinds of poetry lamps, and the lighting is also beautiful.

Enjoying the lanterns, reading poems, and tasting people's feelings are more than pleasant.

Xia Huaijin and Xia Bingliang also walked around the corridor, it was rare to be so purposeless, just to enjoy. Xiang Gu proudly told other scholars about the poetry lamp made by his own son.

An Ronghua did not follow the father and son, but was with a group of dignitaries and nobles to teach them how to make lanterns, which was quite popular.

"Glory and wealth are like clouds, the face is old and never seen, I don't think about Jinyu's waist, but I want to express my nostalgia between heaven and earth. Xia Huaijin read the poem written by An Ronghua, and the wind blew over the other side, "I wish to spend the red dust together and go to Huangquan together; ”

Xia Huaijin couldn't help frowning, and sensed the meaning of concealment between the lines. He reached out to help the lantern around, and the picture was even more shocking when he saw it.

"This is made by Gu Nu. ”

As soon as Xia Bingliang spoke, Xia Huaijin couldn't help but be startled, and pulled off the tassels decorated under the lamp.

"Where's she?" Xia Huaijin suddenly became anxious.

"Teach people how to make lamps over there. Xia Bingliang pointed out.

Xia Huaijin threw down Xia Bingliang and went straight to An Ronghua, Xia Bingliang was not wrong for a while, but he looked at the lamp poem in front of him again, and suddenly realized.

Xia Bingliang only looked at Xia Huaijin and walked towards An Ronghua, she was smiling like a flower in the crowd, but Xia Huaijin's footsteps gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

"Is it you? Let her test me, test my feelings for you? I am so stupid that I am shaken by it again and again, and dream of it. ”

Suddenly, someone patted An Ronghua on the shoulder, and when she turned around, it was Xia Bingliang with a calm face.

"Xiao Liang'er. ”

"Come out with me. Xia Bingliang said simply.

An Ronghua and Xia Bingliang went to the uninhabited pool pavilion, the wind blew the lanterns and reflected the pool, and the ripples sparkled like a dream.

"Xiao Liang'er, why aren't you with your father, where has he gone?" An Ronghua asked first.

"You really still have ulterior motives for my father. Xia Bingliang was extraordinarily calm, no longer as repulsive as he was at the beginning.

"I ......"

"You don't have to deny it, just saw your lamp poem, and my father felt strange for a moment, and I saw what you meant to him in the poem. ”

All the previous denials and sloppiness were shattered at this moment, and An Ronghua no longer concealed it.

"Yes, I love him, and this life will never end since a long time ago. ”

An Ronghua smiled happily, although the person who came to ask for an explanation was not Xia Huaijin, but just admitting her feelings for Xia Huaijin made her feel like a new life.

"Maybe I don't understand your so-called love, I only know that my father already has Concubine Qin, and Concubine Qin is virtuous, gentle and considerate, and is the most suitable virtuous helper for my father. Do you really want to be your father's concubine? You obviously don't look down on Aunt Feng the most!" Xia Bingliang suddenly became excited.

"Xiao Liang'er is really as close to the princess as mother and son!" An Ronghua couldn't help but sigh, "You only know that your mother Concubine Qin is virtuous, gentle and considerate, you think that the two of them are the most natural match, but how do you know the true feelings of your father's heart, he may need me?"

"Why does he need you?" Xia Bingliang hurriedly denied, "You are just the care of the Queen Mother's aunt entrusted to your father, and your father is just a guest, what unusual feelings does he have for you, you are talking nonsense!"

"Xiao Liang'er doesn't need to be angry, there are some things that I can't explain, and you can't understand either. Huai Jin has always been in the deepest part of my heart, but I am not by his side. I've wondered a million times what I'm going to do with him, and now that I have the answer, I really want to get him back. ”

"You're just talking nonsense!" Xia Bingliang smashed the lamp spike that Xia Huaijin dragged down on An Ronghua's face, turned around and ran away, his mind was full of An Ronghua's jokes at that time, "I'll give you one, who is knowledgeable, has both ability and political integrity, and how about a beautiful little lady?"

How?how?how?

The lights are still there, but An Ronghua's eyes have lost their brilliance, he thought that his relationship with Xia Bingliang had become more and more friendly, but his reaction to this matter was still unacceptable.

An Ronghua was left behind by Xia Bingliang, she walked alone at the end of the street with few pedestrians, and couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong, Xia Huaijin's side really couldn't tolerate herself?

The familiar road under his feet has reached King Jin's mansion, and the doorman is also very familiar with greeting.

"Miss Gu is back!"

"yes. ”

Xia Bingliang had nowhere to tell his thoughts, so he could only go to Qin Ke to ask for a truth that made him feel at ease.

"Mother Qin, my father loves you, right?" Xia Bingliang asked eagerly for an answer.

"Why did Liang'er suddenly ask about this?" Qin Ke was really surprised.

"The child just wants to know, Concubine Qin and her father have been together for more than ten years, it can't be just because of the marriage of the emperor's grandfather!"

Xia Bingliang's unprovoked words hurt Qin Ke's heart, as if reminding her of a fact that she didn't want to accept, it was only because the emperor's order could not be violated that she and Xia Huaijin became husband and wife.

"Didn't you attend the Poetry Lantern Conference in the academy today, what happened?" Qin Ke turned the topic away.

"The child just wants to know that the father's beloved person is the mother and concubine, and not any other woman!"

Although Xia Bingliang was extremely excited, how could Qin Ke dare to talk nonsense, he lowered his head, sad and lonely. Xia Bingliang couldn't believe it, but Qin Ke's expression seemed to say everything, how could she not know what Xia Huaijin's feelings had for her over the years.

"Impossible, her gibberish, how can it be ......"

Xia Bingliang couldn't comfort and ran away from Qin Ke's residence.

Xia Huaijin returned to the house earlier, and was always in the room, and An Ronghua's poems repeatedly appeared in his eyes. He was distraught, he couldn't distinguish between An Ronghua and Gu Nu, and couldn't distinguish the meaning of Gu Nu's existence, she suddenly appeared beside him, like a very thoughtful past, bringing him news about her, giving him one scene after another of déjà vu pictures, and stirring up his wisps of old feelings.

Xia Huaijin wrote four words on the paper: I have Huaijin in my heart.

Who is it, the queen mother who is far away in the sea of flowers, or the valley girl who is close in front of you?

Xia Huaijin was determined to find out, why did Gu Nu come here, and for whom?

An Ronghua couldn't rest assured that Xia Bingliang went to his room when he came back, and learned from Xiang Gu that he went to Qin Ke.

"Still focused on Qin Ke. An Ronghua was undeniably lost in his heart.

"The prince is back!"

Xiang Gu ran up, An Ronghua also turned around, Xia Bingliang ran out of breath, but his eyes were firm and clear.

"Xianggu, you go out first. ”

Xia Bingliang stood in the cave gate, separated from An Ronghua by a courtyard, comparable to the width of the galaxy.

"Little Liang'er ......"

"Shut up!" Xia Bingliang stopped An Ronghua, but put away all his grievances and dissatisfaction, "If what you said is true, if my father sees you as you look at him, if the two of you have affection for each other, if this is the case, I accept it!"

An Ronghua didn't believe his ears for a while, Xia Bingliang's sudden acceptance was not a compromise with no other choice, but a deliberate allow.

"Really?" An Ronghua's eyes flashed with joyful starlight, but he couldn't flicker until dawn.

"Liang'er, what are you talking nonsense?" Xia Huaijin suddenly appeared and came from behind Xia Bingliang.

"Father, the child is stupid, and has never thought about the loneliness in his father's heart, if that person is a valley girl, it is better than someone else. Xia Bingliang is deeply considerate.

Xia Huaijin glanced at An Ronghua, this face that made him reverie was a valley girl after all.

"Liang'er Hugh is talking nonsense, this king doesn't know what she said to you, but this king has something to say, and he must make it clear to her. ”

Xia Bingliang temporarily retreated with an undecided emotion, and An Ronghua, who was recognized, was happy, but she didn't know that Xia Huaijin's next words made her feel conflicted.

"What are you going to tell me?"

"As you say, you are a new lantern, bright and wonderful, but this king is not your bearer of the lamp, and he has no intention of using it. Even if it is broken and decayed, this king will not abandon her old lamp, even if she no longer illuminates the way for me. ”

No matter how many years have passed, Xia Huaijin is still Xia Huaijin.

An Ronghua didn't know what to think, he was clearly rejected, but what was going on with his unangry mood at this moment?

"Is this a rejection of me?" An Ronghua's tone seemed to be threatening.

"You are not the king's lamp. Xia Huaijin was calm and firm.

"You'll definitely regret it!" An Ronghua put down an inexplicable arrogance, but left easily and went back to his room.

Discussing Xia Huaijin's stupidity with the Queen Mother in the mirror again, An Ronghua couldn't control his emotions and intensified the contradictions.

"How nice you are, you abandoned him twenty years ago, and let him think about it for more than twenty years, and he clearly likes your broken old lamp. Obviously, people with long eyes should prefer me more!"

"If he is the same as an ordinary man, he is not the Xia Huaijin known by the mourning family. ”

"What is there about a broken lamp that is worth his insistence on not giving up, it is really stubborn, shouldn't the lamp be replaced if it is broken?" An Ronghua said excitedly.

"But that's not the case with people, and that's what you said. ”

"I'm talking about what I said......" An Ronghua lost his confidence, "This time he actually lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, he rejected me without any new ideas, and actually used my words to reject others." ”

"Are you going to give up?"

"Naturally, I can't give up, how can I be you, give up when you say give up, ruthless and unrighteous, hard-hearted!" An Ronghua said mercilessly.

"If you are a mourning family, can you still face Huai Jin so calmly and fearlessly? If it is not the iron heart of the mourning family, how can you feel your true feelings?"

"But Huai Jin is so stubborn, she has to love your hard heart, and reject my sincerity!" An Ronghua sighed.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. ”

"Why do you want me to melt because of your ice, it's not fair!" An Yonghua protested.

"If you have to be fair, who will repay the love you owe to Huai Jin for the past 22 years?

The cause and effect in the world, existence or disappearance, departure or appearance, possession or abandonment, joy and sorrow, An Ronghua cannot see through after all.
