Liu Yi spat and talked for most of the day, and roughly told Princess Taiping about the expedition to the battle, and then the triumphant return to Beijing, of course, those bloody killing scenes were simply brought over, without any description.
Liu Yi described the beautiful scenery in the Yinshan area in detail, telling the scene of leading his subordinates to patrol and hunt on that beautiful grassland, and made Princess Taiping's envious eyes burst into stars, shouting that Liu Yi must take her to play under the Yinshan Mountain, and follow Liu Yi to run horses under the Yinshan Mountain.
Liu Yi had to coax and deceive the past, the battle was basically finished, the sun was about to set, presumably the banquet in the palace was almost over, when Liu Yi was thinking about what reason to say goodbye and go, the maid Xiaoyun who was guarding outside came in tremblingly and reported that the queen of heaven asked Princess Taiping to come over, and the somewhat satisfied Princess Taiping let Liu Yi go, and took the maid with a bright smile on her face, and told Liu Yi before leaving, and accompanied her out of the palace to play after a few days of leisure.
Liu Yi also had to vaguely agree, and saw that Princess Taiping reluctantly led the two maids away after looking back at him a few times, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, walked out of the pavilion, and prepared to leave the palace.
How do you know that Liu Yi had just walked across the bridge on the Longshou Canal by the Taiye Pond and walked to a corridor on the edge of the Chang'an Palace, when he was blocked by a eunuch. The eunuch swept the dust, saluted Liu Yi, and said in a low voice: "General Liu, please go to the lawsuit!"
Liu Yizheng was depressed that she hadn't seen Shangguan Wan'er for so many days after returning to Beijing, and had just been entangled by Princess Taiping for a long time, and when she heard that Shangguan Wan'er was waiting for her here, she was very surprised, and she didn't ask much, so she followed the eunuch.
After walking for a while, near the edge of the Hanliang Hall on the south bank of the Taiye Pool, Liu Yi saw Shangguan Wan'er, dressed as a female official, standing at the turn of a corridor waiting for him, but standing with her back to her.
The eunuch walked up to Shangguan Wan'er, bowed and said a few words, and then left quickly.
Liu Yi stepped forward, stood still a few steps away from Shangguan Wan'er, stared at this thin figure who looked very lonely and helpless against the backdrop of the Nuoda Palace, and called softly, "Wan'er..."
Naturally, at this time, Liu Yi felt a burst of guilt in his heart, he had just been ambiguous with Princess Taiping for a long time, and he didn't feel so annoying about that demon girl anymore, but when he came over, he had to face Shangguan Wan'er, and he really felt a little bit of a thief. Liu Yi also knew that this was not a coincidence, it was Shangguan Wan'er who deliberately talked to him, it was possible that he came out of the Lin De Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er was waiting for him here, waiting for him for a long time, this beauty was going to be angry, and her mood must be bad.
Hearing Liu Yi's call, Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing facing the courtyard with her back to her, shook her body slightly, but did not turn around, and said softly: "You are finally willing to come over, come with me..."
Shangguan Wan'er said, still didn't turn around, and walked forward by herself.
Liu Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask, and walked forward behind Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er took Liu Yi to a relatively remote garden by the Taiye Pond, and it seemed that few people came, and walked in without looking at the surrounding situation.
Liu Yi carefully scanned the situation on the side from behind, and after making sure that there was no trace of anyone in the vicinity, he followed up.
Shangguan Wan'er made it so mysterious, which made Liu Yi's heart tense, and it felt very weird.
Liu Yi knew that now the main personnel in the palace were attending the banquet in the Lin De Palace, and most of the palace maids and eunuchs were also waiting there, this remote courtyard near the Hanliang Palace, which is usually used for summer summer retreat, basically no one would come here, but he still paid attention to the movement outside.
After entering the courtyard, Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing still in a corridor with a courtyard gate behind her back, still had her back and lowered her head.
"Wan'er, what's wrong with you today?" Liu Yi walked behind Shangguan Wan'er and asked softly.
Shangguan Wan'er turned around at this time, her face was full of silence, and under the light shining through the branches, Liu Yi saw that there were faint tears on her face.
"Wan'er, have you been waiting for me for a long time? I was just called by Princess Taiping to ask about something, and I can't get out of my body, so I've kept you waiting for a long time!" Liu Yi hurriedly explained where he had just gone, and his words were full of apologies, when he was in the Lin De Palace, he didn't see Shangguan Wan'er's figure, and Liu Yi was wondering why the female official next to Wu Zetian, who was supposed to be present at such a scene, didn't appear.
Shangguan Wan'er approached Liu Yi's side, lowered her head, and said faintly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, you see, now that the sun is about to set, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you, it seems that you will have to leave the palace immediately in a while, and the banquet will be over in a few hours..."
Liu Yi twitched unconsciously in his heart, and quickly apologized again: "Wan'er, I'm sorry, I really didn't know you were waiting for me, otherwise I would..."
Shangguan Wan'er didn't wait for Liu Yi to finish speaking, and then interrupted him: "Don't say it, I know that Princess Taiping called you, how can you not go..."
Liu Yi also heard the strong sour taste in Shangguan Wan'er's words, and the guilt in his heart became even stronger, "Wan'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to come to you when I come back from the expedition, these people even dream about you..."
Liu Yi thought that he and Shangguan Wan'er had special identities, although they both stayed in Chang'an, sometimes it was really not easy to see each other, even if they entered the palace, they might not be able to see Shangguan Wan'er, and many times, they couldn't speak when they saw each other.
Hearing Liu Yi say this, Shangguan Wan'er, whose face was full of silence, showed some surprise, "Really? โ
"Of course it's true, when I was in Anbei, in the camp tent in the army, I dreamed of you many times!" Liu Yi remembered the somewhat charming dream, and then looked at the pretty Shangguan Wan'er in front of him, and a primitive desire quietly grew in his heart.
Shangguan Wan'er approached Liu Yi's side and looked at Liu Yi with her head slightly raised, "You will often think of Wan'er, Wan'er will be relieved..."
Liu Yi stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Wan'er's face, and looked deeply into the eyes of this beauty: "Wan'er, I have a lot to say to you, but I haven't entered the palace these days, and I can't meet you, I want to secretly come to meet you..."
Whether it is the original truth or the modified truth, Liu Yi has to coax the melancholy Shangguan Wan'er in front of him to be happy, whenever a girl has to coax, now at this somewhat delicate time, Liu Yi must firmly grasp Shangguan Wan'er, and can't let her hate because of love, not to mention that in his own mind, Shangguan Wan'er's weight and status are irreplaceable by other women.
The taste in Liu Yi's words has not changed, the eyes that are still full of affection, these days, especially Shangguan Wan'er, who has been suffering just now, finally couldn't help it, there were big tears rolling down her eyes, put her two hands on Liu Yi's chest, choked and said: "San Lang, during the time you went on the expedition, Wan'er was also thinking about you every day, looking forward to your early return every day..."
Liu Yi came back, but she still couldn't see it, even when Liu Yi entered the palace, she could only secretly look at it a few times at most, which made Shangguan Wan'er sullen, especially after Liu Yi returned to Beijing, Wu Zetian didn't give her the opportunity to visit Liu Yi, nor did she mention Liu Yi's matter in front of her, plus Liu Yi was called out by Princess Taiping during the banquet today, and the two stayed in private for most of the day, which made her even more sad, she knew that the worst premonition in her heart might really become a reality.
Liu Yi wiped away the tears on Shangguan Wan'er's face and kissed her on the forehead: "Wan'er, it's your birthday in a few days, I said, I will make you happy every year's birthday, and on that day, you ask the queen of heaven for a leave, and I'll take you out of the palace to play, okay?" โ
Hearing Liu Yi say this, she still remembered her life when she came back from the expedition, Shangguan Wan'er was even more moved, leaned into Liu Yi's arms, and said softly: "Well, Wan'er has already said it, and the queen of heaven has also agreed, I'm really afraid that you will forget!"
Liu Yi stretched out his hand and scratched Shangguan Wan'er's nose, "I promised Wan'er, every year on your birthday in the future, I will accompany you and make you happy, what I said will count, how can I forget, I will also give you a gift this year!"
"Wan'er doesn't need a gift, as long as you accompany me, this is the best gift!" Shangguan Wan'er already had a happy smile on her face.
"Then I'll give myself to you as a gift, do you want to?" Liu Yi said with a smile.
Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she took a sip, "A year has passed, and I am not serious, I keep talking these nonsense!"
Having said that, Shangguan Wan'er still feels sweet in her heart, her age is not young, she is already eighteen, it stands to reason that this age should be the time to get married, although her identity is a little special, but the desire for marriage is still as strong as other women, especially Wu Zetian once gave her a secret promise, but before everything became a reality, it was just a cake, not to mention that Wu Zetian had not mentioned this matter for a long time, which made her have an ominous premonition, fortunately, Liu Yi's love for her has not changed, It was the last bit of hope she could rely on.
Liu Yi hugged Shangguan Wan'er tightly in his arms, and caressed her back with one hand, "Wan'er, I know that you must have grievances in your heart during this time, you can talk to me then, okay?" "This beauty hasn't been alone together for a long time, and she hasn't spoken properly, Liu Yi also has a strong desire to find a time to be alone with Shangguan Wan'er, in addition to talking about personal affairs, there are many things in the court, and I need to ask her.
"Hmmm! Wan'er has no grievances now, but I have a lot to say to you, and I want to hear from you," Shangguan Wan'er said and raised her head again, "Yi'an, let's go, the banquet is going to end in a while, it's not good for you to leave the palace late, let's go, I'm going to go over to serve Niangniang..."
Liu Yi's words, as well as his still intimate actions, have made Shangguan Wan'er feel greatly relieved, and the sad mood just now is gone, and now she is afraid that someone will find out that they met in private, urging Liu Yi to leave quickly.
"Well, then I'll go, and I'll come to the palace to pick you up..."
