Yuzhou bandits are in turmoil, the emperor sent Ye Lingxiao and Nie Junheng to suppress the bandits, now more than a few months have passed, Ling Xue is worried about the safety of the two in the mansion every day.

Fortunately, a few days ago, there was good news, the bandits have been all wiped out, and my brother and Jun Heng will triumph in a few days.

Hearing the news, Ling Xue was very excited and watched from the gate of the mansion early.

It was getting late, and Ling Xue couldn't help but be anxious when she didn't see the two of them come back.

The maid Yuzhu said: "County Lord, don't wait, the prince and General Nie will inevitably return to the palace to face the saint after returning to Beijing." The county lord might as well go back to the room and wait first, it is cold at night, and the slave and maid should wait here. ”

Where can Ling Xue endure her temperament, her brother and Jun Heng have been on the expedition for a few days, she has been worried about them day by day, and she can hardly sleep at night. It's just that she is a daughter who has not left the cabinet, and she can't go with them on the expedition, and she doesn't know how she survived this time.

"Wait, they said they would be back today."

Yuzhu no longer persuaded her, so she could only stand at the door with her, looking forward to it.

I don't know how long later, not far away I heard the heavy sound of horses' hooves.

Ling Xue raised her eyes and looked at it, her eyes could not hide her joy.

Yuzhu said excitedly: "County Lord, it's the prince and General Nie who are back!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Nie Junheng and Ye Lingxiao rode high-headed horses, followed by dozens of golden guards, and the team slowly drove into the mansion.

Ling Xue couldn't wait for a long time, but fortunately, Yuzhu stopped the person in time.

"County Lord, don't worry, they'll be here soon." ap..

Nie Junheng saw the figure standing at the gate of the mansion at a glance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

He hadn't seen each other for a few months, but he felt that a long, long time had passed. Fortunately, the turmoil was finally quelled in advance, and she rushed back in time before her eighteenth birthday.

The team approached slowly, and finally stopped in front of the house.

Ye Lingxiao and Nie Junheng rolled over from their horses.

Ling Xue smiled, lifted the hem of her skirt, took a few steps down, and walked quickly towards the two of them.

Nie Junheng instinctively opened his arms to catch her.

Unexpectedly, it was empty.

Ling Xue threw herself into Ye Lingxiao's arms and hugged her beloved brother tightly.

Ling Xue raised her eyes to look at Ye Lingxiao, although her words were blaming, her tone was full of worry: "Brother, why did you come back?" I've been waiting for a day. ”

Ye Lingxiao touched Ling Xue's head and said dotingly: "I could have come back earlier, but I drank a few more celebratory wines when I entered the palace to face the saint, so I came back late." ”

Only then did Ling Xue look at Nie Junheng standing on the side.

After the battle on the battlefield, his face faded away from the immaturity of the past, became resolute and calm, and his eyes revealed a kind of ruthlessness in killing. Although the armor on his body was covered with dust, it couldn't hide his heroic posture and the aura of a king that people couldn't ignore.

Ling Xue was a little stunned.

Unknowingly, her beloved brother in the past has reached the crown, and now he is a man who stands up to the sky......

It has also become very handsome, and it makes people a little unable to take their eyes off......

However, the attentive Ling Xue still noticed his emotions.

Right now, he was silent, his face was slightly lost, and he seemed a little unhappy?

Ling Xue thought about it, she had always loved Jun Heng, presumably because she didn't care about him first when she came back this time, so she made him unhappy?

Ling Xue couldn't help laughing, even though this younger brother had grown up, he still liked to stick to her all the time like when he was a child.

Thinking of this, Ling Xue let go of Ye Lingxiao, turned to look at Nie Junheng, still like when he was a child, reached out and gently touched his head, and said, "Junheng is now a big hero who stands up to the sky, my sister is really happy for you." ”

Nie Junheng looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Is that it?" ”

Ling Xue was slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, in the eyes of everyone, Nie Junheng suddenly stepped forward, gently hugged her into his arms, and then hugged her tightly.

Ling Xue's heart was suffocated, and she forgot to react for a while, and only let him hold herself.

Her face pressed against his chest, and the heartbeat in his chest silenced all the noise around her.

Ling Xue looked up at Nie Junheng, at that time, he was also looking down at himself, his eyes were full of tenderness and pampering.

He said, "Why is my sister estranged from me?" Only hug my brother and not my brother? ”..

Only then did Ling Xue react, he was sullen because he was worried about this?

Noticing that everyone was looking at them, Ling Xue was a little uncomfortable.

She gently pushed the person away, and said to him in the same tone as usual: "Jun Heng has grown up now, how can he be so stingy, besides, there is a difference between men and women......"

Jun Heng interrupted her words and said, "There is a difference between men and women, it is for outsiders, you and I are not outsiders. It doesn't have to be like this......"

Ling Xue was choked, and she didn't know how to explain to him for a while.

At this time, Ye Lingxiao said: "It's not early. ”

Ling Xue reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's late, you must be tired too, let's go back to the room and take a shower first." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and instructed the people in the house to prepare hot water.

After everything was ordered, Ling Xue said to the two of them again: "A few days ago, I asked the embroidery lady in the house to cut two new clothes for you, and I don't know if it fits. You go back to your room and take a shower, and I'll bring you clothes to try on later. ”ap..

Nie Junheng said: "Then Sister Lao sent it personally." ”

Ling Xue nodded, turned around and went into the house to prepare.

Ye Lingxiao and Nie Junheng went back to their respective rooms together.

On the way back to the room, Ye Lingxiao suddenly said to him: "At the palace banquet just now, several official women are interested in you, do you have a favorite girl in your heart?" ”

Nie Junheng said: "Why does the prince ask like this? Aren't those official women also interested in you? ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "You are now the crown, you have reached the age of marriage, if you have something you like, as a brother, I should be the master for you." ”

Nie Junheng didn't think about it, so he said, "No, the prince doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Ye Lingxiao smiled: "My sister regards you as her own brother, and she will definitely worry about your marriage." ”

Nie Junheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said lightly: "My surname is Nie, not Ye." ”

At the beginning, although Ye Beicheng intended to accept him as his righteous son, he gave him the surname "Night".

But he didn't want to.

His surname is Nie, and he is not related to her!

Ye Lingxiao said: "The world says that you are cold and indifferent, but now I feel that you have a bit of human touch, otherwise, I still can't understand why your father treats you so poorly, why you are still unwilling to give up your surname." Or is it that my father and mother treat you badly? ”

Nie Junheng said: "The prince and the princess treat me like a mountain. ”

"It's just...... I am not related to you by blood. ”

Ye Lingxiao smiled, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Then why don't you understand that there is a difference between men and women?" ”

Nie Junheng's footsteps paused slightly.

Ye Lingxiao's footsteps did not stop, he raised his feet up the steps, turned his back to him and said, "Since you know your identity, you should understand that there are some things that you can't think about. ”
