In the next two days, Liuyun carefully instructed Ah Lei to practice special skills in the mansion, and Thunder finally couldn't resist the temptation and began to pester the second brother.

Although he is only one year younger than Liuyun, he always feels that this second brother seems to be much older than himself, and has a maturity far beyond his actual age. Maybe it's because the second brother has suffered a lot of twists and turns, he thought. He was very curious about these things that Liuyun taught Ah Lei, and what followed was curiosity about Liuyun itself. Isn't the second brother a demon martial arts cultivator, why did he suddenly understand this?

Thunder in confusion, he looked for opportunities to compete with Liuyun several times, but Liuyun only replied to him: "After defeating the two swordsmen around me, come to me again." ”

In fact, Liuyun himself knows his own business, every trick and style he has learned in the past is a method of killing, and he is afraid that he will not be able to retract his hand for a while, and he will hurt the thunder. But he still taught Thunder the special combat skills, and he believed that his younger brother, who was like a martial idiot, would definitely achieve great things in the future. Moreover, he still has his own ideas about the future of thunder.

When he had nothing to do, Liuyun even asked people for some embroidery needles, and began to practice the flying needles in his previous life.

On the 30th, His Majesty Emperor George IX issued a decree to celebrate at the palace on the evening of January 1, 752, with a feast for the courtiers. At the same time, he also decreed that because the prince was traveling, the princess would entertain the children of the ministers and the young talents of the imperial capital on his behalf.

The former decree was an annual practice, while the latter decree caused an uproar in the imperial capital, which made the young nobles and some talented young people ecstatic. The princess has reached the age of marriage, and she was originally engaged to Liuyun and broke off their thoughts, but the changes that happened later made everyone see hope.

And this banquet is a great opportunity, if the princess can be tempted, then wealth and glory are just around the corner. Therefore, these people began to prepare carefully, hoping to win the favor of the princess with great vision at the banquet.

When Ah Lei told Liuyun the news, Liuyun still looked calm, playing with the flying needle in his hand, as if he hadn't heard about it.

"Second brother, what's the matter with you? I found out that you are a wooden man......" said Arejiao.

For this second brother, she is really speechless, and he will retreat when he says that he will retreat from the marriage that others can't ask for. For the princess's night banquet, everyone else has carefully prepared, but he is playing with embroidery needles.

"What's the matter, the princesses of the people choose all the boys, what are you excited about?" Seeing Ah Lei's anxious look, Liuyun said jokingly.

"You... You... Second brother, although you have withdrawn from the marriage, you still have to prepare. Don't let people underestimate you. "Ah Lei is going to be confused by this second brother.

"I didn't even plan to go. Liuyun completely ignored her feelings and continued.

"I can't help but go. If you don't go, you won't give face to the royal family, and your father won't be able to spare you. Ah Lei said angrily.

"That's true. Alas, how did you choose to come back at this time, and this kind of thing happened again. Liuyun thought to himself, I can't say that I have to go out again and show my eyes now.

After the blood oath, the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital seems to regard him as an alternative, which is why he has been reluctant to go out since he came back. After all, it's not nice to be visited as some kind of creature from a zoo.

"Why don't you just have a meal? She chooses hers, I eat mine, and then leaves. There's nothing to prepare. Liuyun said absentmindedly.

Ah Lei felt that she was completely defeated, and dropped the sentence "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, big lazy worm", so she left.

After Ah Lei left, Liuyun looked at the flying needle in his hand, but his mind flew out of the sky. "It's New Year, Yue'er. Who will be with you without my New Year?"

The next night, Liuyun walked into the palace for the first time, accompanied by Thunder and Ah Lei. The Imperial Palace, as the power center of a country, is synonymous with magnificence, majesty, solemnity, coldness, and depression in Liuyun's memory, but the Palace of the Fire Cloud Empire that appeared in front of him made him feel very novel.

It is a building that resembles a medieval European castle, and from a distance, it only feels elegant and elegant. After walking in, I didn't feel solemn and cold, I just felt as if I was on a big dance floor, and all kinds of magic lights showed off the blurry colors. Compared with the elaborate dressing of the young nobles in the imperial capital, Liuyun felt that his casual dress was a little out of place.

"Fortunately, there is no sign at the door that prohibits the untidy person from entering. Liuyun thought badly.

When I came to the hall where the princess had invited everyone, there were already many people inside, young men and women, gathered together and chatted in low voices.

"It seems that everyone is very positive, and the temptation of beautiful women is really great. Liuyun stretched and smiled at Ah Lei.

"Everyone is looking forward to it, which one is as lazy as you. Alei laughed.

It should be said that whether Princess Liuyun's identity as "ex-fiancé" or "evil young in the imperial capital" is very lethal.

As he walked into the hall with his younger siblings, one after another eyes fell on him, and the hall suddenly became silent. When the three of Liuyun found their place and sat down, there was a low sound of discussion in the hall, of course, most of them were aimed at him.

"Oh my God, this guy is back!"

"Wow, that handsome guy who swore a blood oath, hey, hey, hey, hey,

He actually has a face, and when the princess comes, he doesn't know how wonderful his expression will be. ”

Liuyun didn't seem to hear these discussions, and studied the delicacies on the table with his eyes. Thunder was angry, and was pulled by Ah Lei to sit on the chair.

"Third brother, if you can't learn to be quiet, you will give up the pursuit of martial arts as soon as possible. The landslide is in front and the color does not change slightly, and the ground cracks down and the gods do not change slightly, that is the style of a master. What are you excited about about this little scene?"

Liuyun looked at the thunder and said in a deep voice. The thunder fell, and he lowered his head and pecked at the words of the flowing clouds.

At this moment, Liuyun felt a gaze stabbing at him. Looking up, Hughes was smiling at him from afar, as if to say, "Do you want me to beat you?"

Liuyun also smiled, he didn't have any hatred for this Hughes son, but was sincerely grateful to him and accompanied him through those desperate days.

Liuyun's smile made Hughes feel a little surprised, and then looked at Liuyun with a playful expression.

"The princess has arrived!"

As the maid's Qingyue voice sounded, the hall became extremely quiet. People's eyes followed the sound from which it came.

Liuyun also looked up with a little curiosity. The gaze crossed thousands of mountains and rivers at that moment. Everything, just when we first saw it.

Following her figure, Liuyun came to the small lake where she first met her. It was still that spring morning, she stood there, snow skin, crystal like jade, bright eyes, autumn water as a god, elegant as spring plum blooming snow, ice as white as autumn chrysanthemum frost, quiet as Lansheng empty valley, delicate as the glow reflecting Chengtang. The long white dress holds up her delicate body full of youthful atmosphere, and the long jade-like hair, like the splashing technique of landscape painting, casually pours down and flies.

She walked happily by the small lake, and the pool of blue water sang for her, sparkling waves. When the wind blows, she brings up her clothes and flutters, and she is like a fairy in the lake, wanting to ride the waves and ride the wind.

She walked slowly towards him, only smiled slightly, and took advantage of the day's charm. Memories are frozen in a picture. Let the wind and rain fade its original color, leaving only a yellow picture, but the scenery in the painting is still fresh, so that from then on, he will never be able to walk out of that spring morning.

"Yue'er, are you here? I've had a hard time alone, and you're finally here! Come closer, let me look at you deeply, Yue'er! I originally thought that in this life, I will never see you again, and the sky will still pity me after all. ”

Huge happiness has surged into Liuyun's heart, endless lovesickness has turned into smoke, and the long wait has finally come to fruition.

Just for the goodbye of this moment, why not wait another thousand years!

The love of staggered time made Liuyunruo fall into a trance, and there was no one in her eyes except her.

"Second brother, I've introduced you, get up and salute quickly. Ah Lei's hurried voice sounded in Liuyun's ears, and his hand also pulled his sleeve urgently.

Dream, woke up.

That hazy figure was instantly clear in Liuyun's eyes, and his eager gaze was suddenly frozen.

"It's not you, Yue'er, I read it wrong. It's just that the feeling of that moment, the white dress, the dark jade hair, and the autumn water-like eyes, made me hallucinate. Liuyun shook his head, sighed and withdrew his gaze.

"Maybe, it's just that I miss you too much. ”

The crowd's obsession fell into Naya's eyes, and she was pleased with their reaction. It's just that kind of secretive, wanting to see but not daring to look at it, makes her feel a little funny while being satisfied. There was only a hot gaze, which fell straight on her body, burning her for a while, making her feel very surprised.

"Who is so bold as to be so bold?" Following that gaze, she saw a young man in white. And that gaze, at the moment when she looked over, dimmed, and he also lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

"Second brother, what are you doing in a daze, the master of ceremonies is introducing you!" Ah Lei couldn't help but remind again.

The master of ceremonies called "Viscount Liuyun Kaide" twice, but Liuyun didn't respond, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liuyun.

"Oh," Liuyun replied wearily, standing up on the table and saluting, before slumping back into his chair.

Thunder looked at Liuyun and muttered in a low voice: "What else did you say that the landslide did not change slightly, but I suddenly became like this." It seems that second brother, you are not a master. ”

"Is that him?" said Princess Naya, looking up at the lost young man in the distance, her former fiancé.

"It seems that the divorce hit him very hard at the beginning, and he became like this when he saw me. Princess Naya withdrew her gaze and sighed. After the original incident, she always had some sympathy for him in her heart.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Finding Liuyun's strange appearance, Ah Lei asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, little sister, it's just that something suddenly comes to mind. Liuyun shook his head.

Ah Lei didn't speak again. In her opinion, any normal man who sees his former fiancée is such a beautiful woman, and she looks down on herself so much, will become depressed and decadent.

"Come to think of it, the second brother's freedom and indifference on weekdays are just his disguise, but in fact, his heart is very bitter. Ah Lei thought, and couldn't help but hope that this dinner party would end soon and give her a normal second brother.

"Son Nalan. ”

When the master of ceremonies read this son, a soft exclamation rang out in the hall. When it comes to this son, everyone in the imperial capital knows it. It is said that he met strangers at a young age, learned a profound martial arts, and later entered the imperial great Confucian Yideno to study literature, and has a talent for the world. Recently, it has risen like a comet in the imperial capital, and the momentum of the limelight is unmatched for a while. Anyone believed that although he was not a nobleman, his achievements were just around the corner.

Prince Nalan got up in a dashing manner, smiled and saluted the princess, and then saluted everyone. People look like jade trees in the wind, not to mention, just that gaze, like a warm spring breeze, so that everyone feels comfortable and warm, as if the gaze from the beginning, only looking at themselves. The princess's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation.

After the master of ceremonies finished the introduction, the princess walked to the stage at the front of the hall, and her coquettish voice slowly sounded.

"Today, it is Naya's honor to be able to entertain you on behalf of the royal brother. Naya bowed to the crowd.

"On behalf of my father, brother, and imperial family, I would like to extend festive greetings and best wishes to all of you on the occasion of the new arrival. There are descendants of nobles and talents from the imperial capital, but they are all the pillars of the future of the empire, and I look forward to your better development and greater achievements in the new year. ”

As a royal princess, Naya is indeed extraordinary. If she initially felt haughty, at this moment everyone felt her kindness and eager anticipation, and was encouraged.

Of course, these people did not include a man who had lost his soul.

"Now, let us raise a glass and wish together: in the new year, my father will be in good health, the country will be prosperous, and the people will live a happy life!"

The princess's voice landed, and everyone roared. Ah Lei pulled Liuyun again, and the latter stood up helplessly and raised his glass.

"Cheers to the Empire's tomorrow!" the princess's voice rang out again.

"Cheers!" the crowd responded.

"I wish you happiness, Yue'er. Liuyun drank all the wine in the cup, only to feel bitter in his mouth.

After everyone sat down, Naya said, "Tonight is a celebratory feast, don't be restrained, you can drink and talk happily." ”

Although the atmosphere in the venue was warm and cheerful, Liuyun still felt extremely desolate and lonely, and drank all the wine in his glass. When that familiar feeling was suddenly shattered by the reality in front of him, Liuyun seemed to be awakened from a sweet dream, and his heart was fluttering and empty for a while.

"The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing. Yue'er, do you probably know how much I miss you?"

Looking up at the somewhat god-like figure in the distance, Liuyun's heart ached again.

"That's it, don't think about it. Liuyun buried his head and began to munch on the food on his plate, although the food was tasteless, he felt that if he didn't find something to do, he would go crazy.

"It seems that you have long forgotten that you are an elegant nobleman. Naya frowned slightly when she saw Liuyun's completely ungraceful appearance.

At the gathering of the nobles of the empire, eating, is definitely not the main purpose, it is more about chatting and talking, that is, to socialize, and at the same time to get acquainted with each other, let everyone see your talent.
