Although Xiao Yan said that she wanted to go back to Hexi, she didn't say that she would leave, she had just come back from Oghuz, and she always had to accompany her mother for a while, otherwise she would be reluctant to leave immediately. Moreover, she had to hand over a letter to ask her father if it was appropriate to go home at this time. Of course, the letter could not say this, but told her father that she was preparing to return home and was determining the auspicious day for her return, and my father understood at a glance.

The next day is Xiao Yan's birthday - her real date of birth is July 17, according to the custom of Datang, she wants to eat a bowl of longevity noodles with her mother who gave birth to herself, she has not eaten this bowl of longevity noodles with her mother for the first 19 years, of course it is impossible to miss it this year, and she returned to Datang before July 17 is also the meaning.

On July 17 of this year, Xiao Yan turned 20 years old, according to the rules of the family, if a woman does not marry, she must take on the family responsibilities like a man, which is called "female Chengding", and she must perform the crown ceremony like a man - but Xiao Yan's birth date on the Xiao family tree is February 17, and the crown ceremony is really in February next year, and the birthday in July is just a birthday, so Xiao Yan did not rush back to the Xiao family.

Xiao Yan and her mother cooked two bowls of longevity noodles together. The custom of eating longevity noodles with his mother is said to have been passed down from Emperor Gaozong, when Mingzong gave birth to Gaozong, he was old, and the production was quite difficult, Gaozong said that his birthday was his mother's suffering day, so this majesty Xià does not hold a holy birthday every year's birthday, but personally makes two bowls of longevity noodles in the kitchen of the Taimiao, and brings them to the temple of Mingzong, a bowl of sacrifice to his mother, and a bowl for his own use...... Gojong reigned for fifty years, and so it was for fifty years. One of the reasons why Xiao Yan likes Gaozong is that this majesty is filial piety. Xiao Yan felt that she was still better at making noodles than Gao Zong, and the longevity noodles she pulled out for her mother were thin, long, and well-proportioned, and she was very appetizing just by looking at them - well, she had a great consummation of a cave and a fusion realm with more fine internal qi control, there was really nothing to be proud of, and she couldn't help but laugh when she served this bowl of longevity noodles to her mother.

"Laughing at what?" Li Yixun looked at his daughter with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I think the bowl of noodles I made for A-Niang should be a little more beautiful than that made by His Majesty Gaozong." Li Yixun laughed, "Well, it's pretty." Xiao Yan said solemnly: "However, Emperor Mingzong's mood when he eats this bowl of noodles must be as happy as A-Niang." ”

Li Yixun smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said softly: "Yes, A-Niang is very happy." I remember when I was three years old, my father hugged me and said that my family is blessed with great blessings in this life. There was a soft light in her eyes, "Of course I have great blessings, and there are three greatest blessings in my life: one is to have a father; the second is Pei Yi; The third is to have you, my dear daughter. ”

Xiao Yan's heart was as soft as cotton, looking at the tears in Ah Niang's eyes, her throat was also a little choked, and a warm and strong sense of happiness gushed out like spring water, instantly overflowing her heart, "Ah Niang! "I will bless you for the rest of your life.

She stepped forward and hugged her mother, kissed her on the face, and said funny things with a smile in her mouth: "If you say this, you are not afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother will be jealous and beat me." ”

Li Yixun chuckled, "What are you afraid of, you look at your aunt and me, I have endured the envy, jealousy and hatred of so many brothers and sisters since I was a child, and I haven't lived a nourishing life." ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her mother's ability to provoke public anger.

The mother and daughter happily ran out of longevity noodleshttp://.5./books/29/29341/

It's as warm as the morning.

The palace sent a lieutenant and sent two brocade boxes, saying that it was a reward from the emperor. Xiao Yan knew that this was actually a birthday gift from the saint's uncle and the queen's aunt.

The sage's uncle gave a green landscape royal pen, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, vast and far-reaching, which makes people feel proud and profound, and also makes people feel guarded - the sage royal pen, and it is the landscape painting of the first person in the world, which is a gift for the head of the family to be blushing, and it is too valuable to give it to a junior as a birthday gift.

The queen's aunt sent a good Shoushan stone, should know that Xiao Yan is learning to engrave with his mother, and sent a sky blue frozen stone, which is not a very precious item in the Shoushan stone, but the sky blue and clear stone like the sky are Xiao Yan's favorite, the queen's aunt should have pondered her preferences, and this heart is the most valuable.

Xiao Yan liked both of these gifts very much.

But there was something unusual in it, she looked at it for a while, and then quietly said to her mother: "Uncle and aunt don't want Zhaohua to ...... me?"

The country is picturesque, vast and far-reaching, this is to be ambitious, not to draw on the love of children?

Sky blue frozen stone, the color is like the sky, how vast the sky is, no matter how good the palace is, how can there be the freedom of the sky?

The saint and the queen are sincere gifts to congratulate her on her birthday, and the other is to express their views on Li Yuzhen's feelings.

And this view is Xiao Yan's approval, and the queen's aunt's understanding of her heart also makes her sigh with joy.

Li Yixun touched his daughter's head, the saint and the empress don't want Zhaohua to be obsessed with you - attachment, for the future emperor, it is not a good thing.

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, went out to the corridor, saluted to the north, and said to the lieutenant who was waiting for a reply: "Thank you to the saint and the queen for the reward, Xiao Yan is grateful, and please return: it is very much in line with Xiao Yan's heart." ”

The lieutenant should leave.

When he was about to touch Xu, Li Yuzhen came over and congratulated Xiao Yan on his birthday.

Li Yixun waved his hand and smiled: "You young people, celebrate by yourself." ”

Xiao Yan took Li Yuzhen to the Moon Viewing Pavilion in the mansion.

The seventeenth moon is very good, although it is not as round as the sixteenth moon, it is as bright as a silver plate, shining Li Yuzhen's deep eyes.

"A gift for you."

Li Yuzhen handed her a slender brocade box, Xiao Yan opened it, and there was a white hosta resting on the yellow satin, the mutton fat jade was warm, shining and bright, and the hairpin head was engraved with a galaxy like the Milky Way.

Xiao Yan's eyes froze, and he looked up at her, "This is ......"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go along?" Li Yuzhen raised his eyebrows, "When the crown is on the hairpin." ”

This is a ...... and crown hairpins.

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, and the crown and hairpin are the most important, and the carved patterns and hairpin patterns on the crown imply the expectations and aspirations of adults, and are generally given by the elders. But she pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Avenue peers.

A happy smile bloomed on her face, Li Yuzhen could figure it out that it was the best, turned around and beckoned to the maid of sencha outside the pavilion, and the maid served two cups of sencha.

Xiao Yan and Li Yuzhen took one by one, Xiao Yan said: "You are still in the filial piety period, you can't drink, let's replace wine with tea, this is to congratulate my birthday, but also to congratulate you and my friendship for eternity." As he spoke, he raised his lamp to the bright moon and starry sky, turned his eyes to look at Li Yuzhen, and said sincerely, "The road is long, walk side by side." ”

Li Yuzhen glanced at her, looked at the bright moon and starry sky, her eyes were deep and shining under the bright moon, and said: "The avenue walks together," the last four words are clear and powerful, "never give up." "Lift the cup and drink the tea.

Avenue peers, never abandonhttp://.5./books/29/29343/

http://.5./books/29/29343/

The mad girl is back, Miss Xiangfu.

This is good, Xiao Yan sighed in her heart, she always felt that this "never leave" had another meaning, and her thoughts were complicated for a while, but she also raised the cup and drank the tea, no matter what, she hoped to be with her for a long time and walk side by side, just like the vow she and her senior made under the vast starry sky in the polar regions.

It is rare to have a best friend in life, and what is even more rare is that she got two, and Xiao Yan didn't want to lose it.

The maid tray took the teacup and exited the pavilion.

Xiao Yan said: "I may go back to Hezhou in a few days." ”

She paused when she said this, looked at the bright moon and starry sky, and her voice was quiet and emotional, "Look, the sky is vast, the galaxy is vast, in my heart, you should be in contrast to this sky and this galaxy." ”

Li Yuzhen's eyebrows were soothing, and he turned his face to look at her, happy in his heart, but also with astringency, and his deep eyes revealed happy and painful feelings.

Xiao Yan looked at her eyes, only to feel that there was a blazing emotion tumbling in her heart, it was a warm and open-minded feeling, and the feelings in her voice became thicker and thicker, and said: "Once a person is contaminated with love, he is not like himself, sensitive and slender, sad and sad in spring and autumn, watching falling flowers and hurting falling flowers, watching the sunset hurting the sunset, liking because of a person's liking, sad because of a person's sadness, but, Zhaohua, I don't want you to be like this, you are a flowing cloud in the sky, you should be free, high, you are also like this sun, moon and galaxy, brilliant, Shine forever. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes burst with sincere emotion, Zhaohua, I don't want you to be bound by children's emotions and become not like yourself.

Li Yuzhen looked at the sky and laughed, her voice was like a clear wind and clouds, naturally sparse, and she turned her face to look at Xiao Yan's eyes, but there was a little bit of restraint, as if the breeze was attached to Liuyun, she said: "Xiao Yuezhi, you really understand me." ”

"Don't worry, I'll always be me." Her eyebrows are bright, her eyes are clear, like autumn water reflecting the long sky, far-reaching, vast, and infinitely far-reaching.

She took a step forward, stretched out her hand and pressed it on Xiao Yan's shoulder, stared at her with bright eyes, and said, "You are so good, how can I be willing not to love you." ”

Xiao Yan's joy was pierced by an arrow.

She looked at her wordlessly.

Li Yuzhen said: "I know the intentions of my father and mother, they don't want me to be hurt emotionally, this is the intention of parents to love their children." But," she smiled, "if I stop because I'm afraid of getting hurt, that's what I'm going to do." Her cool voice was soft, but it made people feel the firm will contained in it, "Xiao Yuezhi, I will always be me." ”

To love or not to love is my own will, not to others, not to you.

"Xiao Yuezhi, don't say anything I hope I don't love in the future."

"I love you, it's my will."

"In the future, if I don't love you, it will be my will."

Xiao Yan looked at her eyes, knowing the waves in the sea, it was a kind of moving, but also a kind of enlightenment, moved that Li Yuzhen knew herself so clearly, and so firmly insisted on her own will, no matter whether the future ushered in joy or sorrow, she firmly walked her own way, and realized that she was wrong, Li Yuzhen was not bound by feelings, but resolutely moved forward in the thorns of the love road.

Xiao Yan said, "Okay." "The voice is a little choked.

It was the result of emotion and enlightenment and joy.

That's nice.

Li Yuzhen will always be Li Yuzhen.

Li Yuzhen, who reflects the sky and the galaxy.

"It's a pity," she said with a smile in her voice, "I can't drink with you." I can only drink tea. ”

Li Yuzhen smiled: "Then, I owe you a jar of winehttp://.5./books/29/29342/

http://.5./books/29/29342/

strayed into the marriage game, and her husband hid too deeply. ”

"Okay, remember."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyebrows as bright as the moon.

***

Thousands of miles away in Hezhou, the three of them sat under the moon and drank tea.

Xiao Cong's Qingjun eyebrows and eyes became more and more warm as jade under the moon, and he said with some regret in his voice: "Qingyi doesn't stay in Hezhou for more time?" ”

Shen Qingyi was still wearing a thin cyan robe, looking slender and thin under the moon, his cold eyebrows and eyes were becoming more and more dusty, and he said in a quiet voice: "If you don't go back, the medicine hall will be urged." ”

Xiao Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Yan should be going back to Hezhou, Qingyi hasn't seen her?" After Xiao Yan returned to Chang'an from Oghuz, she wrote a letter to her family, saying that she had returned to Chang'an, and if Chang'an had no mission, she should go home in the near future.

Shen Qingyi's eyes condensed slightly, but in an instant, they returned to normal, and said in a cold voice: "There will be a time to meet." ”

The heart is not as calm as the surface, and the desire to see Xiao Yan is surging, but she is suppressed in the end.

She just reconciled with Xiao Cong, and when she met Xiao Yan, she was afraid that she would be truthful - there was a suspicion of melon fields and plums.

She didn't want Xiao Yan to be misunderstood, and she had a personal affair with her early on, whether it was good for Xiao Yan or herself.

Shen Qingyi's cold and calm voice asked about Xiao Yan's recent situation, showing a sister's concern but not too eager, Xiao Cong didn't notice anything unusual, and laughed: "Ah Yan has advanced to the Great Perfection of the Cave Realm. There was pride and pride in his clear laughter, as if he had achieved something.

"Huh?" Shen Qingyi showed surprise, she knew that Xiao Yan's martial arts talent was extremely high, and she was also very diligent and diligent, but she advanced to the Great Perfection of the Cave True Realm before she was twenty, which was also too surprising.

"Ah Yan didn't elaborate in the letter, but if you want to accumulate advanced levels, it won't be so easy, and you should have experienced a lot of dangers."

Xiao Cong said that Xiao Yan went to Oghuz to experience - this is not necessary to hide, in addition to her contact with the temple and Emperor Oghuz - she also advanced in Oghuz, presumably experienced the danger of life and death, and made a big breakthrough in the great danger, only to break through the later stage and advance to the Great Perfection one after another, it is heart-wrenching to think about it......

The former couple talked about the people they cared about together, and because of their shared concerns, they were not far away from each other.

Wei Zijing sat quietly boiling tea on the side, quietly listening to his husband and his ex-wife talking about a person affectionately, the expression between his eyebrows and eyes was quiet, like a quiet ink painting under the moon, elegant and beautiful, with a quiet and serene temperament.

Before leaving, Shen Qingyi raised tea to bless the two, "I wish the Xian couple a lifetime of harmony." ”

"Thank you." Xiao Cong and Wei Zijing raised the lamp together, and Xiao Cong said sincerely, "I wish Qingyi all his wishes come true." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled slightly, his smile was clear under the moon, and said, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Cong and Wei Zijing sent her out of the house, watched the carriage that picked her up from the Taoist temple and left, and the two returned to Heng'an Courtyard, Xiao Cong sighed: "I hope Qingyi can get her heart." ”

Wei Zijing snuggled him lightly, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Shen is such a good person, she will definitely be able to get her wish." ”

I was really curious about who the person who could make this scheming lady of the previous life fall in love with him.

A face appeared in her heart for no reason, the color was like a spring mountain, and her eyes were like glass, which reminded her of the fascinated Jiangnan Spring at a glance. color while all spring. Colors don't seem to be able to describe the beauty of this man...... Maybe only such a person is worthy of Shen Qingyi's admiration—but then she laughed in her heart, secretly saying that this idea was ridiculous.

That's the younger brother of the prince, how could it be.
