When he saw Yelu Caiqi sitting leisurely in the living room, many thoughts flashed through Xia Jingyun's heart.

What does Su Yuanshang eat? Why did Jerichech come with him? Can't you just keep her in Swift State?

What does Yang Yinghui eat? Why didn't this big team of Beiliang people enter the city and don't know how to stop it?

What does Lang Yukun eat? The granddaughter of the king of Dingxi, the minister of Northern Liang, or the lord of Beiliang County, has entered Beijing, and I don't know how to take it to Honglu Temple quickly?

What do the porters and housekeepers eat? I don't know if I said that I didn't wake up and sent it away, and I came to ask for advice, didn't this fucking put me on the fire and roast me?

Xia Jingyun, whose mind was full of food, walked over with a hard head.

A gentle and elegant smile appeared on his face, "Miss Yelu." ”

Seeing the personable appearance of the person in front of him, Yelu Caiqi, who was accustomed to seeing Xia Jingyun's dusty and dusty eyes, lit up, stood up, and bowed, "Marquis Jianning, the little woman took the liberty of visiting, your wife won't be angry, right?" ”

Xia Jingyun: (⊙⊙)???

What's going on, and what's wrong with the taste?

Looking at Xia Jingyun's appearance, Yelu Caiqi slightly held his chest of good scale, and sighed faintly, "Hey, it seems that I was disliked by Lord Xiahou, those welcoming words and promises to meet again are just wishful thinking on my part after all, so it seems that it is not mine." ”

Xia Jingyun looked at the performance of the stunning beauty in front of him and was dumbfounded.

Feed! Wake up! You are Yelu Caiqi, not Yelu Daiyu!

is a good grassland child who gallops on a horse and lives a chic life, how can he play this trick of weak willows and supporting the wind.

Yelu Ceqi continued: "Don't worry, Hou Ye Xia, the little woman will not pester you like those women, but she is a little sad in her heart, after all, the little woman is not as good as others, she will please Hou Ye, if you insist on this, it seems that I am making trouble unreasonably." ”

"Stop! Stop, stop! ”

Xia Jingyun stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Say, what do you want." ”

Yelu Caiqi raised her eyebrows, smiled, and the dying energy in her body disappeared instantly, and the vigorous vitality reappeared on her body.

"I want to go and meet your Queen Mother, and in addition, I want to go to the bamboo forest to have a look."

Xia Jingyun's expression suddenly became serious, the one in front of him was easy to say, he told his sister, but going to the bamboo forest is not a simple matter, and even speaking, it is more serious than taking her, a person from Beiliang, into the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

Because the bamboo forest lives the Jiang family, the Jiang family is the backbone of the Great Xia military, and most of the Jiang family's prestige comes from the battle against the Northern Liang people.

is still the same sentence, there are some things, if you don't weigh it, you can't beat it if you weigh tens of thousands of taels.

"Hey, I knew that Master Hou was just talking nonsense to make people happy, so I believed it stupidly. But it's okay, at least Hou Ye is willing to coax. ”

"Gotta get it!"

Xia Jingyun confessed, "In Yuyan Prefecture, you have also met Jiang Yuhu, it shouldn't be a big problem, I will go to the bamboo forest tomorrow to find Jiang Erye, but whether it succeeds or not depends on Jiang Erye's opinion, I can't promise you." ”

Yelu Zeqi immediately put away his weak look, "Then there is the Marquis of Laoxia!" ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head helplessly, and said casually: "Why did Miss Yelu think that she came to Zhongjing City?" ”

"Although I escaped this time, but later, I also knew that this was grandpa's deliberate connivance, since this is the case, there must be no next time, so, try to walk around and see more, so how can you not come and take a look at Zhongjing in your country?"

Xia Jingyun snorted, "In this case, I will send someone to accompany the county lord in the next meeting, so that I can go shopping." ”

"But after all, I can't stay too long, after seeing the bamboo forest, I have a wish, and I want to go back."

She sighed, with a forced smile on her face, straightened her back, and said solemnly: "I came to Zhongjing in your country, met the legendary queen mother of your country, and then I was able to see the bamboo forest, it was a long-cherished wish in my life, and I was even more fortunate to get to know the Hou Ye, and the little girl was fortunate to have three lives!" ”

After that, she bowed solemnly to Xia Jingyun according to the prairie etiquette.

Xia Jingyun's heart trembled, looked at this bright and bold grassland pearl, and sighed lightly, "Miss Yelu is polite, the mountains and rivers meet, they are all fate, and it is also a blessing to meet Miss Yelu." ”

"Really?" Jerutzech's face changed again, and he suddenly became lively, and leaned forward, "So, take me to meet your wife?" I want to see what kind of woman can be worthy of Jianninghou and can make Jianninghou's heart move. ”

Xia Jingyun looked at Yelu Caiqi's dancing face in a daze, wondering if he was tired, how could he have a feeling of being led by her nose and giving what he wanted?

Yelu Caiqi smiled playfully, "Master Xiahou, you don't want the little girl to return with regrets, right?" ”

As long as you don't go back with a hand, otherwise I'm afraid that Yelushi's old thing will find me desperate.

Xia Jingyun's head was big for a while, but fortunately, at this moment, a figure hurriedly ran over, "Master, the prince is here." ”

Behind him, Wang De walked in quickly and saluted Xia Jingyun respectfully, "Marquis Jianning, the Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace." ”

Xia Jingyun is like being amnestied, and she has to be my sister, she is simply a savior.

He immediately looked at Yelu Caiqi, "It's better to go to Honglu Temple for a while, and when Benhou returns to the house, invite Yelu girl to come over to the mansion for a gathering." ”

Yelu Zeqi glanced at Wang De suspiciously, and reluctantly prepared to leave.

But at this time, a girl dressed as a maid stepped forward, walked up to Xia Jingyun, and handed him a note.

Xia Jingyun opened it and looked at it, and instantly felt a little numb on his scalp.

[Husband, since people are here, how can there be any reason to be lazy, husband may as well rest assured to enter the palace, the concubine will entertain on his behalf, and also appreciate the style of the grassland pearl and see the style of the Yiren. 】

If it was ordinary, this sentence would be nothing, but after he had just finished writing a sentence that made people haggard for Yi, Su Yanyan saluted this Yiren, and he could smell the thick vinegar through the paper.

If someone else is changed, of course Xia Jingyun will still be the master to send Yelu Caiqi away, but Su Yanyan and Qin Li's background, knowledge and conduct have determined that they will not come nonsense, and at this moment, they are still afraid of the dignity of the head of their family, they did not make their own decisions, and came forward without authorization.

Therefore, this time, Jianning Hou, who was really not afraid of the crooked shadow, waved his hand, really agreed, and then left quickly with Wang De.

Outside the palace, he happened to see the carriage of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion and the driving Gongsun Jing.

He hurriedly walked over, nodded to Gongsun Jing, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, and saw Old Lady Yun who was waiting in the carriage. "Master, how did you come to be here?"

Old Lady Yun looked at him, "After Zhu'er gave birth, I haven't visited yet." I was thinking about when to go, and she just happened to call you by the way? ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Then Master, let's go, don't let my sister wait for a long time." ”

Walking into the palace, Wang De led the way far in front of him, and without getting to the two of them, Old Lady Yun opened his mouth and said with concern: "How is it?" Are you feeling better? ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "I slept in the dark for a while, and it was much better." ”

Old lady Yun sighed with emotion: "Now that I think about it, it was really dangerous that day, and if I was not careful, I would lose everything." Thanks to you! ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "This is what I should do." What's more, it's for myself. ”

Old Lady Yun turned his head to look at him, "You, there's no need to say this to comfort us, such things are how they are, and what should be remembered has to be thanked." ”

He looked at him leisurely, "Now that I think about it, the most correct decision I made in my life was to accept you as an apprentice, and I didn't teach you anything, but took advantage of you." ”

Xia Jingyun didn't dwell on this question anymore, but said with a smile: "Shouldn't the most correct thing be to send my sister into the palace?" ”

Old Lady Yun shook her head, her expression slightly gloomy, "That's I'm sorry for her." ”

Xia Jingyun sighed lightly and didn't answer again, and while talking, there were more people around, and both of them stopped talking.

When she came to Changle Palace, Concubine De had already gotten off the bed, walked out of the dormitory in palace clothes, and waited in the hall on the side.

However, the main hall was still closed with windows, leaving only one door to enter and exit, and it was so warm that it was even a little hot.

When the two walked in, Concubine De waved her hand, and Mama Yuan retreated with everyone in the hall, and then cleared out all the palace people outside again.

Old Lady Yun heard the movement outside, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, is this something big to talk to us?" So solemn? ”

Concubine De looked at him, "Father, my daughter has planted some flowers in the palace, and they are blooming very well these days, so father might as well go and take a look." ”

"I'm an old man."

Old Lady Yun's expression suddenly froze, and she reacted, and glanced at her daughter resentfully and speechlessly, if you want to see Gao Yang, just call him in, and call me here!

This black-hearted padded jacket really is

However, although Old Lady Yun is not as powerful as Su, Zhao, Qin and other old guys, she is not stupid, knowing that her daughter must have a top secret to tell Xia Jingyun, she immediately retreated and carefully acted as a windbreaker not far from the palace.

Seeing this, Xia Jingyun naturally knew that Concubine De had a top-secret message to him, and immediately said with a solemn expression: "Sister, what happened?" ”

Concubine De looked at the man in front of her, and the cloth clothes she saw for the first time in her memory, the champion red robe when she was in the middle of the three yuans, the blood-stained robe when she swung her sword into the palace, and the mud and dust clothes that ran back thousands of miles quietly coincided at this moment.

Those high-spirited, caring, affectionate, generous and enthusiastic pasts, so that she couldn't guard against it after all and chose to trust.

She is willing to gamble with him this time, even if she loses everything, she will not regret it.

After all, he had saved their mother and son in danger so many times, and had helped her so unreservedly.

She said softly, "Yu'er came to me yesterday and said that he wanted a Zen position. ”

Xia Jingyun blinked, he didn't even understand the meaning at the first time, and after reacting, he couldn't help but change his expression suddenly, "What is he going to do?" ”

Concubine De looked at Xia Jingyun's expression carefully, and said softly: "He said that he wants to travel all over the world, see the great rivers and mountains, and experience the mysteries of the world. ”

Xia Jingyun was dumbfounded, and then slapped his head with remorse, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't told him that, he might not have such thoughts, but I said those at the time, just to make him firm in the idea of survival, I didn't think about it."

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and turned his head to look at Concubine De, "Sister, aren't you suspicious of me, suspecting that I deliberately induced Yan'er to give up the throne?" ”

Concubine De looked up at him, and in her mournful eyes, her emotions were inextricably knotted, like apologies, feelings, retention, and spring breeze and affection.

She nodded slowly.

Xia Jingyun leaned back in the chair a little dejectedly, he gave everything for them, without reservation, but he didn't expect such an ending.

The first emperor solved problems all the way and helped them develop and grow all the way;

When Dongfang Ming was in turmoil, he rushed back to the capital regardless of the danger, risked his life to help, and finally turned the tide;

This change is even more desperate, running thousands of miles, just to take a step faster and save the situation.

But I didn't expect that once there was a change, it would be exchanged for such a suspicion and such an ending.

A feeling of excitement quietly rose in his heart, but he immediately suppressed it.

Wrong!

Sister is not that kind of person!

If you were to be suspicious of me, you would not have given me so much power, then trust all the advice I give her;

If you really want to be suspicious of me, now is not the best time;

What's more, there is another deep connection between him and her.

！！！

Xia Jingyun's heart was suddenly shocked, and he thought of a possibility that he had doubted and was doubting now!

Only that one possibility can explain all this.

There is only one possibility that can make my sister have such abnormal and absurd thoughts.

He put away the little anger that had just been born in his heart, turned his head to look at Concubine De, and said softly, "Really? ”

The dignified and mournful, desolate and beautiful Queen Mother completely understood that her suspicions were purely suspicious when she saw Xia Jingyun's expression change, and at this moment, in the face of Xia Jingyun's puzzling question, she also knew it and nodded again.

！！！

The speculation confirmed that the displeasure in Xia Jingyun's heart disappeared in an instant, and only the love and pity for his sister remained.

He got up slowly, walked to Concubine De, gently took her hand, and said softly: "You shouldn't doubt me, if you doubt me, is there still warmth and beauty in this world?" ”

"I don't know! I really don't know what to do! ”

Xia Jingyun's gentle voice made Concubine De break her defense instantly, and she cried and threw herself into Xia Jingyun's arms, "Yu'er used to be everything to me, and everything I did was for him!" ”

Her head was attached to Xia Jingyun's chest, and the big tears rolled down with the collapsed heart, quietly wetting Xia Jingyun's clothes, "I don't care about the throne, and I don't even care what kind of life he chooses, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will lie to me." ”

"I entered the palace at a young age, and I am used to being wary of everyone, but only you, I am willing to believe unreservedly, and even give unreservedly, so I am afraid, I am afraid of affectionate mistakes, I am afraid of being involved, and I am even more afraid of becoming a pawn of your emotions"

Feeling the affection and panic of the beauty in her arms, Xia Jingyun's hand gently stroked her back, slowly soothing as before.

"But, even so, you're willing to tell me openly and honestly, asking for an answer, instead of secretly being suspicious and secretly guarded, right?"

Under his comfort, Concubine De's emotions gradually calmed down, and she said softly: "Because I am still willing to believe, I believe that you are not that kind of person." ”

Xia Jingyun said gently: "Just like me, even if I am angry, even if I feel stabbed in the back, even if I am disheartened, I still believe that you are not that kind of person, you will not be able to cook rabbits and dogs, you will not hide all the birds, you will not only share hardships and hardships, but not prosperity, you are a person worthy of my everything to protect." ”

Xia Jingyun looked down at the face in front of her, looking at the pear blossoms on her face with rain, tears rippling, "But as long as one of us hesitates about this feeling, we can't untie this knot." So, you should trust me, believe in me unreservedly, just as I believe in you. ”

Concubine De raised her head, looked at the first and only man in her life who really walked into her heart, and hummed in a low voice, "Right. Woo~"

The moist lips were held, and her body stiffened, but then slowly became hot and soft, and leaned into Xia Jingyun's arms.

The long, hot kiss burned away all the unhappiness and estrangement between them.

Xia Jingyun reluctantly let go, caressed her face, put his forehead against her forehead, and said gently: "Wait, wait until the court situation is stable, wait until the world is peaceful, and when the time comes, I will take you with me to leave this cage-like palace, and leave this whirlpool of people's hearts and power." The magnificence of this world must also be what you want to see. ”

Concubine De's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Really, I assure you. When the time comes, I will take you to see the giant whale out of the water, the sea and the sky are the same; Go to see the white deer like a forest, the empty valley and the orchid; Take you to see the desert lonely smoke, the long river and the sunset; Take you to see Dapeng rise with the wind one day and soar up to 90,000 miles. When the time comes, we will not envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Just when Concubine De's eyes were full of brilliance, Old Lady Yun suddenly coughed heavily outside the door.

The two parted like an electric shock, quickly tidied up their clothes, and then couldn't help but look at each other and smile when they looked at each other.

"Father, come in."

Old Lady Yun walked into the room and looked at Xia Jingyun a little helplessly.

He was outside the hall before, and he didn't eavesdrop on the situation inside, but as a person who came over, he was afraid that his precious daughter and baby apprentice had something.

I feel like the head of the Jianghu sect, and the big disciples often end up poaching their beloved cabbage.

But on the other hand, he also knows that his daughter has been miserable after entering the palace over the years, and now all the hardships are all with Xia Jingyun's help, and it is difficult to say who took advantage of whom.

That's it, that's it, a queen mother, a powerful minister, they naturally have a number in their hearts, what can they worry about as a little old man.

If you are not deaf or blind, and you are not worthy of being in charge, you should not know.

He saluted Concubine De, then reached out and touched Xia Jingyun's chest, turned around and walked out.

Xia Jingyun thought it was a code at first, but when he looked down, it turned out to be a piece wet with tears.

He looked at Concubine De, who blushed and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Xia Jingyun arched his hand to her, turned around and followed Old Lady Yun.

Concubine De slowly walked to the door of the hall, leaning on the door of the hall, looking at the departure of the two men, an old man and a young man, full of tender eyes, there was a relaxed smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

The summer wind, warm blowing.

Blow through the hair, blow through the ears.

Blow through those love me he used to say.
