"Cousin, I ......"

Sikong looked at the ancient tree downstairs inadvertently. I saw Di Jinxuan hugging Ji Qingge into his arms, and his chin was just against her forehead.

Although Di Jinxuan and Ji Qingge hugged each other tightly, it was not the first time he had seen him. On the bow of the boat, he had seen it all.

But despite this, Sikong Youlian still felt like a needle pricking his heart at this moment. His weak right hand slowly put down the teacup, and when he was about to get up and go back to the room, he heard Di Yuanxi's questioning voice in his ears

"My cousin was also young, and she understands that Li'er is in a bad mood at the moment."

After slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Di Yuanxi stood up and brought a cup of hot tea to Sikong Youlian. handed it to him with his own hand, and said earnestly, "In my cousin's heart, Li'er and Chen'er, as well as Xuan'er, are all equally important. ”

Sikong Youlian bowed his head slightly, and said "um".

The capital is the most ruthless imperial family. But he is a princess born in the emperor's family, a student of Princess Linyue.

When he was a child, he was often taken by Princess Linyue, and learned from her skills such as reading and writing, writing, painting, and playing a kite.

Even his martial arts are also under his father's younger sister, Princess Linyue.

He respects Princess Linyue like his biological mother, and she also treats him as a parent.

As for the reason why Princess Linyue took care of him, he didn't ask. He had heard his grandmother mention it. Princess Linyue, who combines beauty and wisdom, is the pearl of her father and mother, and the beloved sister of her brother Emperor Yuxia.

When Princess Linyue and his cousin Sikong Junfeng learned martial arts with General Pang, they unknowingly fell in love with Sikong Junfeng, a noble son with extraordinary appearance and excellent martial arts.

The initial throbbing in her heart, Princess Linyue has always hidden it deep in her heart, and even Sikong Junfeng himself, she has never mentioned a word to him.

Later, Sikong Junfeng went to the Qi army camp on the border to fight.

And Di Yuanxi is in the deep palace, living the life of her pampered princess. This kind of day went on for several years.

Finally, Di Yuanxi got a message in silent waiting

Sikong Junfeng married the daughter of General Pang, the general of the auxiliary state, Pang Xueqin......

Although Di Yuanxi failed to marry Sikong Junfeng. But in the matter of her brother Di Yuxia taking the heir, Sikong Junfeng stood on General Pang's side and silently supported Di Yuxia.

After the succession was successful, Di Yuxia was named the crown prince, and later, he became the son of heaven of the Xiyue Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven ordered a counterattack against the enemy army in Beitan, and Sikong Junfeng followed Ji Mochen and led the army to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang.

Sikong Youlian had heard some gossip when he was still in the camp of the Qi army. said that his father Sikong Junfeng married Pang Xueqin, and he fell for Emperor Yuanxi's beauty plan to help his brother win the heir.

Some people even say that Sikong Junfeng married Pang Xueqin because he coveted the Qi army brought out by General Pang. With the backing of Ponzi's pro-army, the power of the Sikong family can be strengthened.

For these rumors, Sikong Youlian has never believed it.

He agrees with his grandmother

"Li'er, you are the continuation of your father's life. He is a major general of the Sikong General's Mansion. Your father gave you to Princess Linyue because he believed in her......"

When recalling the past, Sikong Youlian heard Di Yuanxi's words of concern

"What about others, my cousin has no intention of theorizing. But my cousin hopes that the three of you will get along well, and don't have a gap in your heart. ”

A touch of helplessness swept over Di Yuanxi's clear and clear eyes, she looked at Sikong Youpian and sighed lightly, "Although my cousin knows, it is very luxurious to have this kind of thought. ”

Born in the Xiyue royal family, she has long been accustomed to killing each other between brothers and intrigues between concubines.

But despite this, she still has luck in her heart, and I wish the poor child she raised with her own hands be good. Don't get involved in the rights and wrongs of Lord Yan and Prince Xiao, don't ...... For the sake of the woman who didn't have her in her heart, it hurt her body and mind.

Listening to Di Yuanxi's words, Sikong Youlian couldn't help but tighten his sword eyebrows. He said in a deep voice, "My cousin's kindness, I am very grateful." My cousin's teaching to Li'er has always been in my heart.

Just ......"

My cousin told him to protect himself and not to take sides......

"Li'er wants to do it, but sometimes she feels powerless. As her grandmother said, she is a princess in the royal family, so she is not destined to marry an ordinary man.

And Li'er was born in the Sikong family, so she had to follow her father to the death and follow the son of Xiyue. ”

Sikong You's eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, picked up the teacup, and drank half a cup of tea. Only then did he continue, "When the Son of Heaven is between Prince Yan and Prince Xiao, only one prince can be elected as the crown prince.

No matter who the Son of Heaven chooses, Li'er will be loyal to the crown prince. As if allegiance to the Son of Heaven. ”

"Okay, that's it."

Emperor Yuanxi raised her hand helplessly, and said in a sad voice, "Cousin knows that you are the eldest son of the general of the auxiliary country, and there are many things, and you have no choice."

It's like the emperor wants to make Chen'er the crown prince, to fulfill his promise to Concubine Pang.

Ke Xuan'er ...... Where is he inferior to Chen'er? ”

"No." Sikong said truthfully, "Prince Xiao strategized, personally took command of the expedition, and led the Qi army to defeat the Beitan thieves. His military talents have been recognized by his father and even General Yan. ”

After hearing this, Di Yuanxi's delicate face showed a smile of relief.

Xuan'er drove the Beitan thieves back to Beitan's nest and made them submit to the Xiyue Dynasty and pay tribute......

His merits have overshadowed many veteran generals in the Qi army. ”

Sikong Youlian listened to his cousin praise Di Jinxuan, and somehow felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I had to take the teacup I had just put down, pick it up and take a few sips of tea.

"Not long ago, Li'er came to say goodbye to her cousin, saying that she would protect her beloved woman and go south to Yancheng. At that time, my cousin was thinking, whose daughter can be so blessed and protected by our pity? ”

Di Yuanxi's eyes crossed a touch of helplessness and embarrassment

"My cousin excluded Wan Ning, who had left the imperial city with Xuan'er, and Yu Keqing, who had already married a woman.

I thought about all the famous ladies in the imperial city that might make Li'er happy, but I didn't expect it...... It will be General Ji's orphan Ji Qingge. ”

Di Yuanxi slowly stood up, came to the window, and looked at the figure of Princess Xiao standing by the ancient tree. sighed sincerely, "Wan Ning also came to my cousin not long ago, and she said that she was not as lucky as Ji Qingge. ”

“……”

If your luck is not as good as that of people, how can you be more than a Yun Wanning?

Sikong Youpian said with embarrassment, "In terms of luck, no one is unlucky for me." As soon as I saw that Ji Qingge, she was the future Princess Xiao.

Seeing her disguised as a man and entering the Maze Valley of the West Mountain, she risked her life to block the flying knife for Prince Xiao.

She carried the medicine basket into the valley alone to collect medicine, and in order to save Lord Xiao, she jumped into the deep pool of the valley desperately......"

Di Yuanxi listened patiently, and only after Sikong Youlian finished speaking, did he raise his eyebrows and asked, "Since you were there at the time, why did you watch a woman and save Prince Xiao without fear of difficulties and dangers?"

Even if you are loyal to Lord Yan, you ......"

"Cousin, I went to Xishan Maze Valley to investigate the case of Ye Yiyang's death in Xishan Maze Valley by the emperor's order...... Sikong You's narrow peach blossom eyes flashed a trace of embarrassment and explained.
