When Ye Qingnian stepped into Luoyun Pavilion, his heart was full of thoughts, and when he knocked on the door of Xia Yixiang's room, it was her maid Dongyuan who came to open the door. ”

Xia Yixiang listened, originally rested on the bed, but at this moment, after listening to Dongyuan's words, she opened her eyes in a daze, and her vision was slightly blurred, until Ye Qingnian entered the house, and she came to her senses.

"Big brother. Xia Yixiang said with a red face.

"Senior sister, there have been a lot of affairs in recent days, and I haven't been able to take time to see you, but my body is better?"

Ye Qingnian sat on the chair outside the screen, did not take a step forward, and waited for Xia Yixiang to simply dress up from the winter garden, only to see that the screen was withdrawn, and Xia Yixiang's slightly haggard face came into view.

"Let the senior brother remember, but he was a little frightened, so it's okay. ”

"Come today...... Did you listen to what the master said, the prince wants to let the king of Changyuan marry you and me, is this true?"

Xia Yixiang smiled slightly, looked at Dong Yuan, Dong Yuan understood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Guogong appreciates the young talents of Ye Gongzi, so he sent a letter to the master to ask Ye Gongzi's meaning." ”

"Senior sister, I'm ...... I'm afraid ......"

"Senior brother, Yixiang knows that Senior Brother has always been thinking about Senior Sister Shen, but Senior Brother should understand that you have to have a career after all, if you can rely on the power of the royal family in the future, plus your own strength, you will definitely be able to rise to prominence. Xia Yixiang said quietly.

"But, junior sister, I ......"

Ye Qingnian wanted to speak and stopped, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Senior sister, I really can't get married to you......"

"Senior brother, this matter is not urgent, I hope that Senior Brother will go back and think about it, although Senior Sister Shen has the favor of Senior Brother, but after all, she is in the gray level cloth, this Senior Brother must know best. ”

Ye Qingnian was silent, but his heart was extremely entangled, and he didn't need to hang his head, Xia Yixiang seemed to be aware of Ye Qingnian's hesitation, and couldn't help but smile, and the ward Dongyuan went to get an object.

"Senior brother, my father asked the hall to bring some tea, and I heard that the senior brother likes to drink tea, so he picked some good ones and gave them to the senior brother. ”

Xia Yixiang said, took the exquisite box handed by Dongyuan, and pushed it in front of Ye Qingnian, "The best West Lake Longjing, senior brother should not refuse the kindness of junior sister." ”

"Thank you sister for your love. ”

Ye Qingnian wanted to refuse, but when she heard what Xia Yixiang said later, she remembered that she was weak now, and she couldn't move, so she responded.

And until he came out of Luoyun Pavilion, Ye Qingnian's mood had not calmed down, he remembered what Bai Minghe said to him, and thought of his uncertain future, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he walked to Changqing Pavilion in a trance.

"Senior brother, why are you here so early, aren't you here to test my swordsmanship?"

Shen Qiuyu saw Ye Qingnian come to the Changqing Pavilion, standing outside the pavilion, she smiled like a flower, waved her sword and practiced it, and said, "How is it? Senior brother." ”

"Autumn Rain...... I have something to say to you. ”

Ye Qingnian's voice was a little hoarse, obviously because of his unsteady thoughts in recent days and his inability to sleep all night.

Shen Qiuyu saw that Ye Qingnian's spirit was a little dazed, so he hurriedly put away his sword and stepped forward, his eyes moving slightly, "What's the matter, senior brother?"

"Qiu Yu, what would you think if I were to marry Senior Sister Xia?" Ye Qingnian plucked up the courage to ask.

"Senior Sister Xia, which Senior Sister Xia...... Senior Brother said, but Senior Sister Xia Yixiang?" Shen Qiuyu's face suddenly changed.

"Hmmm......"

"It's your business that you want to marry her, why do you want to ask me?"

Ye Qingnian could obviously hear the emotional ups and downs in Shen Qiuyu's words, and hurriedly reached out to hold Shen Qiuyu's hand and held it in his hand, "Qiuyu, listen to me, although I was born in an official family, after all, I will have to rely on myself to serve as an official in the future, Senior Sister Xia has a huge force behind her, I ......"

"Okay, senior brother, don't talk about it. ”

Shen Qiuyu raised his eyes, broke free of Ye Qingnian's hand, and looked at him steadily, "Senior Sister Xia is the daughter of the Duke of the Kingdom, with a prominent background, with this layer of power, Senior Brother will definitely be able to rise to the top and have a worry-free career." ”

"Qiu Yu, in fact, you should understand Senior Brother's intentions for you, and in the future, when Senior Brother becomes famous, you will ...... I will marry you as a concubine. ”

Shen Qiuyu listened, took a step back, and then suddenly laughed, her smile made Nangong Jue, who happened to come to look for her, catch him, but seeing him dodge, hiding under the peach tree not far behind the two, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

This smile, like a bright star blooming in the silent night, poignant but more strong, she smiled enough, glanced at Ye Qingnian's surprised gaze, and asked rhetorically: "As a concubine, senior brother originally thought of me like this?"

"Qiu Yu, although your qualifications are mediocre and you are not loved by all the disciples, I have been protecting you all these years, you should understand my heart for you, I must not abandon you. ”

Ye Qingnian only felt that he was getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but explain, before he could say more, he saw Shen Qiuyu untie the acacia black line knot given by Ye Qingnian from his wrist, and raised the sword in his hand with a few sharp slashes, and the black silk knot was instantly smashed, and they were sprinkled one after another, like a snowfall.

"Ye Qingnian, you listen to me, I, Shen Qiuyu, don't need your charity, keep your sympathy for me, go find your senior sister Xia. ”

Shen Qiuyu threw the sword given to her by Ye Qingnian on the ground, like an abandoned object, turned around and left mercilessly, leaving Ye Qingnian with a sad face stunned in place.

"I'm sorry, Qiu Yu, although you and I have mutual affection, but we are not all the way after all, sorry ......"

Ye Qing Nian said, and then turned to leave, Nangong Jue saw this, and couldn't help but sink his heart, avoiding Ye Qing Nian and going in the direction of Shen Qiuyu.

The sky and the earth were vast, and Shen Qiuyu sat cross-legged on the ground.

She looked up at the sky in a daze, the storm had stopped, and the sky had cleared, but at this moment in her heart, there was no longer a clear sky, thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but have a trace of mist.

I vaguely thought about the night when I first saw Yeqingnian, she was ignorant and was held by Bai Minghe, and outside the main hall, she saw a young man who was as warm as jade, he took her hand, and his smile was as warm as early summer.

"From now on, you will be my junior sister in Yeqingnian, if someone else bullies you in the future, tell your senior brother, and your senior brother will be angry for you. ”

"Senior sister, don't be anxious, in fact, you are just a deviation in qualifications, work harder, and you will definitely not be at the bottom again......"

"Senior sister, Senior Sister Xia is actually not bad, I don't think you should be angry with her anymore......"

"Senior sister, in fact, you are very good at everything, it's just this temper, it's time to restrain some ......"

As time passed, she felt more and more that the young man who was wishful thinking to protect her was no longer there, and was replaced by a prince who wanted to prosper in his career.

"Yeqing year, you bastard!"

Shen Qiuyu shouted into the empty valley, and the echoes were mixed with too much resentment, and finally turned into a howl.

I don't know when, Shen Qiuyu only felt that his shoulder was patted, raised his teary eyes, and was stunned, but saw Nangong Jue hand over a handkerchief, "Wipe your tears." ”
