After Chu Ying and Chang'an separated, he didn't go back to his residence directly, and left the little guy and went to the direction of Luo Xiaotang alone.

Since Song Yanji's identity as a woman became well-known to everyone, the number of guests who came to Luo Xiaotang increased day after day. It was just past noon, and Luo Xiaotang was already full of people.

Chu Ying walked through the bustling crowd, found a place to sit down, and ordered a drink to drink. Seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, the little guy who solicited customers hurriedly followed, and said with a smile on his face, "Childe, do you want to bet?" ”

Chu Ying glanced at him lightly, and a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes, "I'm not interested." ”

Chu Ying is a military general, and since he was fourteen years old, he has followed his brother to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he has a bloody desire for rivers. The warblers and swallows here, the fireworks and willow alleys, can't arouse his interest at all. All he was thinking about was seeing his sixth brother and the woman Chang'an had just mentioned.

However, I don't know how many hours have passed, until Luo Xiaotang's people dispersed one after another, Chu Ying still didn't wait for anyone to come, just as he was disheartened and ready to leave, a familiar figure suddenly came.

"Sixth brother!"

Chu Ying couldn't hold back the joy and excitement in his heart, and strode forward.

When Chu Luo saw Chu Ying, he was quite surprised, "Ninth brother? What are you doing here? ”

"I've come to see you!" Chu Ying patted Chu Luo's shoulder vigorously, and he couldn't help himself with excitement. Before Chu Luo could answer, a purple figure came and stood side by side beside Chu Luo.

Chu Ying glanced at her and frowned slightly, "Sixth brother, this is ......"

Chu Luo smiled warmly, stared at Yan Ji, and was about to speak, but Yan Ji took a step ahead of him and replied, "Song Yanji." ”

She easily told her name to a strange man, and she couldn't help but be speechless. Now that he knew her identity, he lowered his voice and arched his hand, "Miss Song, fortunately, I am in Chuying, Jiangling." ”

Song Yanji was cold, and didn't look at him, but looked at Chu Luo, and a ripple of laughter broke out on her lips little by little, "This is your ninth brother?" After that, her gaze fell on Chu Ying for a moment, and she also smiled, "It really looks like you." ”

This sentence fell into Chu Ying's ears, and he was shocked again.

This woman actually dared to talk to the emperor of Da Chu like this, which shows how much the imperial brother usually dotes on her.

Just thinking like this, Chu Ying's face was still silent, but in the face of Chu Luo, his tone was obviously a little detached, "When the younger brother passed by Luoyang, he entered the palace to meet the queen mother, and the queen mother's meaning was to urge the imperial brother to return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Chu Ying's words were right in Chu Luo's arms. He had been worn-out about it for days. The beginning of the year is getting closer and closer, and he must return to the palace before Chinese New Year's Eve, even if he wants to delay, he can't.

Yan Ji's gaze seemed to be a little anxious, but when it fell on Chu Luo's face, it was full of tenderness. Seeing this, Chu Ying was disgusted, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he arched his hand to Chu Luo and said, "Brother Huang, I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first." ”

With that, he bowed to Yan Ji again.

Chu Luo could hear the life in his words, but after a few words, Chu Ying and Fang Cai were already like two people when they first saw him. He understood that this was because of Yan Ji, but he didn't want to say more, so he had to gently instruct, "Ninth brother, take good care of yourself." ”

"Brother Huang is too." Chu Ying solemnly bent down to Chu Luo again, glanced sideways at Song Yanji who was standing beside him, and left.

Walking outside the door, Chu Ying looked back and saw Chu Luo and Yan Ji going upstairs together, and sighed heavily in his heart.

These few hours are really not worth the wait.

Chu Luo and Yan Ji arrived at the upstairs wing, and then suddenly noticed the surrounding furnishings. He looked around, the bamboo window was hung with purple tulle, and a bunch of delicate red plums were planted in the porcelain pot by the window. Turning around, he picked up the beaded curtain worn by Yingluo, and he saw the dressing table of his daughter in the boudoir, with two embroideries hanging on the walls on both sides.

Chu Luo looked at all this, scratched the tip of Yan Ji's nose with a smile, and quipped, "This is your boudoir?" ”

Yan Ji raised her eyebrows, and there was a little smug in her words, "Otherwise?" Do you think I've been living in an inn all along? ”

Chu Luo smiled warmly, full of concern, "Not really...... Suddenly, he took a step closer, approached Yan Ji, and smiled, "I brought me into your boudoir before I left the pavilion, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right?" ”

The corners of Yan Ji's lips bloomed with a clear pleasure, she smiled leisurely, and half-jokingly, "Sooner or later, you are also your person, do you still want to repay the debt?" ”

Yan Ji smiled at Yan Yan, but this sentence fell in Chu Luo's heart, but it gave birth to a different kind of feelings.

His face was slightly stunned, and even the light of his eyes changed slightly. He pondered for a moment, and then Fang Shen said, "You have heard what the ninth brother said. Sooner or later, I still have to go back to the palace. ”

Yan Ji's eyes sank when she heard this, and her aftervoice suddenly cooled, "It's going to be ...... so soon," she sighed and said with emotion, "I wish you weren't the emperor, so that we can stay here and live the life of an ordinary husband and wife." ”

When Chu Luo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Why are you as ...... as Chang'an?"

As soon as the words came out, even he himself was startled.

Chang'an, he hadn't mentioned this name for a long time.

In an instant, Chu Luo's mind suddenly appeared with the appearance of Chang'an, she grabbed his sleeve, as if she was begging in a low voice, "I don't want all this, we won't go back to the palace, will we stay here?" ”

This almost pleading "is it good" touched the softest part of his heart.

If it had been before, he would have agreed to her request without a moment's hesitation. But at that time, his long silence had doomed him to never be as clear as before.

He hadn't seen her in a long time. Since the day she left the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, he has not heard from her again.

Chu Luo stared at Yan Ji beside him, and he was slightly distracted.

Her appearance is very similar to Chang'an when she was a teenager.

Yan Ji looked at Chu Luo, her gentle face suddenly flashed with infinite melancholy, and she said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking?" ”

Chu Luo retracted his thoughts and looked at Yan Ji, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, and he turned into a gentle smile, "Do you know that I am the emperor, and I am not afraid of the three thousand beauties of the harem, and I am willing to marry me?" ”

Yan Ji's eyes jumped, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, "Is there really a harem of 3,000 people?" ”

Chu Luo's eyes were gloomy, three thousand people, where would there be three thousand people, even if there were, he was blind.

Flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty, and there has always been only the scorching peach blossoms in his eyes.

Three thousand weak water drink only one scoop.

He loves Shen Changan alone.

For Zhong Yuxiu, for Li Shushen, or even for anyone else, he has no such feelings.

After Chang'an, the only thing that moved him was Song Yanji in front of him.

When did he start having this emotion? Even he himself is elusive. Maybe it was because Chang'an left that he made this decision? Even so, she should come back to see him, even if she accuses him to his face, he will admit it. But she never, without saying a word, and just disappeared into his world, leaving no room for anything.

Still, he loved her.

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and for a moment, he actually forgot about Yan Ji's existence and rushed out of the door.

If he wants to find Chang'an, he must meet her face to face.

Chu Luo walked briskly through the crowd, his eyes constantly searching. But the hope was so slim that he didn't even know where she lived now, so how could he find her?

He walked almost all the streets and alleys of Hecheng, with only one purpose, just to see Chang'an. Maybe even he didn't know why. Or maybe it's just because in this rush of travel, he can slightly alleviate his guilt towards Chang'an.

As night fell, Chu Luo found nothing. He sat on the railing outside the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, his expression depressed.

"Chulo."

A woman's voice called him softly. He recognized it as Yan Ji's voice, and she called him "Chu Luo", not "Emperor".

"How did you know I was here?"

"You left suddenly, and I knew you were going to be here." Yan Ji retracted her dress and sat on Chu Luo's side.

"I really envy her." A trace of weakness flashed on Yan Ji's face, and there was a rare sadness and confusion in her eyes, "You love Concubine Shen so much, what a good person she should be." ”

When Chu Luo heard this, there was an unconcealed doubt in his eyes, "What do you call her?" ”

Yan Ji's eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were full of grievances and sorrows, "Since the day you got married, I know that you love her very much. Ten miles of red makeup, you welcomed her into the door, I stood on the side of the road and watched, thinking what a blessed woman this is, it can make the prince love her like this. So from that moment on, I also secretly promised to marry such a man. And later, I met it, but it was you, fate is really good at playing tricks on people......" she smiled bitterly, also sighed to herself, and was also sentimental, "I thought I was a chivalrous hero, and I could fight the sword world, but I didn't expect that I still fell on the threshold of love......"

After that, she was stunned and wept.

Chu Luo was also stunned. He had seen Song Yanji's handsome and handsome demeanor when she dressed up as Song Qingwu, and he had also seen the tenderness of her gentle and virtuous daughter's family, but he had never seen her bow her head and weep in front of him.

He met her with a gentle gaze, comfortingly caressed her hand, and took her into his arms.

He has already lost Chang'an, and there is no way to live up to Yan Ji anymore.

He hugged Yan Ji, just like when he was young, he and Chang'an snuggled up to each other in the shade of willow leaves. At that moment, there was the illusion of spring blossoming.

He missed that time so much. She sat on his lap and smiled softly, pulling ripples through his mind.

It turns out that everything in this world can be so beautiful.

"Yan Ji."

"Huh?"

"I promise you, after returning to the palace, I will definitely marry you and enter the door."

Yan Ji leaned up from Chu Luo's arms and said with surprise in her eyes, "Is this true?" ”

Chu Luo Wenran was touched, "Naturally, take it seriously. ”

She was overjoyed, and rested peacefully in his arms.

He closed his eyes heavily, but thoughtfully.
