Chapter 22

After Jingrui brought Yujin back to Princess Liyang's mansion, he went straight to the study. Under the illumination of the candlelight, Yujin's voice was deliberately lowered, and Jingrui really thought that there was some unsolvable crisis.

"Actually, there is a reason for me to go to Luoshi Street frequently recently. Jing Rui, His Majesty has sent me a task, and I will definitely try my best to complete it." Yujin said in a low voice next to Jingrui's ear, with a frank expression on his face. .

"What other missions can His Majesty assign to you? You said that the eldest son has never only liked romance, but I'm still very curious. Come and hear what it is." Jing Rui was also aroused by his curiosity and asked.

"Have you noticed that there have been a lot of foreigners in Jinling City recently? Although the other affiliated tribes came to pay tribute at the end of the year, countries like Wutuo, Loulan, Dongying, and Silla, which have almost no contacts with me, also came. There are so many barbarians here, I always feel something is wrong." Yujin said.

"It seems to be so, but what does this have to do with the tasks His Majesty assigned you, Yujin, hurry up and clarify." Jing Rui asked repeatedly.

"Did you also hear what the Yeqin envoy said just now? Yeqin lost some tributes but got better ones from the East China Sea. Don't you think it's strange? Yeqin is in the northwest, and there are two countries in the East China Sea. , Dongying and Silla, how could they get involved?"

"You suspect that they have a secret connection!" Jing Rui was also thinking, standing up and walking back and forth as if thinking about the connection.But isn't it normal to think that there is only diplomacy between countries?He still can't figure it out.

"Actually, it's not my doubts, it's His Majesty's suspicions. You know that something happened in the East China Sea. If the countries around Daliang unite again, like the northern border two years ago, do you want to see this situation?"

"That's right, but what does Wutuo have to do with Loulan and Huren?" Jing Rui didn't understand.

"Actually, I can't figure it out, so I'm still investigating. Jing Rui, you can't escape, you have to help me."

"You said that the eldest son wants me to help, so I don't have any reason not to help. Don't worry, I will pay more attention."

Two like-minded friends decided to join forces to find out the phenomenon in Jinling City, and the New Year has come.

On New Year's Eve, the whole country is joyous, but the interior of Su's residence is ordinary and warm.Chang Su sat by the charcoal fire and made dumplings with Li Gang and the others.

"This year's New Year's Eve, when Mr. Yuheng is not around, I always feel that something is missing. If Mr. Yuheng is around, there will be a lot of trouble." Li Gang, who rolled the noodles, said ignorant of current affairs.Chang Su didn't feel anything, but Zhen Ping gave him a shut up look.

Feiliu was still pushing the snowman in the yard, watching him play tirelessly, worried that he would freeze Changsu and shouted: "Feiliu, come in quickly, it's time to cook dumplings."

Hearing that dumplings were to be cooked, Feiliu hurriedly threw away the carrots in his hand to decorate the snowman, ran up to Changsu with a happy smile on his face, and said, "Dumplings, Feiliu wants them."

"Okay, you can eat later." Chang Su always likes to spoil Fei Liu on the opposite side like a younger brother.

"Fei Liu, you can't eat too many dumplings this year. If you eat too much, be careful that they will grow into zongzi. Brother Lin Chen will make fun of you. If you become a zongzi, we will wrap you in zongzi leaves, and then put To the cage..." Before Li Gang finished speaking, Fei Liu put the ice slag left on his hand on his neck, and Li Gang screamed from the cold.

"It deserves it, Fei Liu did a great job." Zhen Ping watched the joke with gloating face

The noise between them made Chang Su couldn't help laughing, he really wanted to live such an ordinary and warm life for the rest of his life.In the evening, people in Quansu House drank cypress leaf wine together and set off gorgeous fireworks to welcome the arrival of the new year.

The courtyard of Su's house became Fei Liu's territory, he went back and forth tirelessly setting off one tube after another of fireworks, watching the splendor flying into the sky, Fei Liu still smiled contentedly.

"Brother Su, it looks good." Fei Liu said, pointing at the fireworks in the sky.

"It's beautiful, as long as it's our Fei Liu, it's good-looking. Brother Su likes it." Standing under the eaves and looking at Fei Liu, Chang Su really thinks the fireworks are beautiful.

Just as the bell rang in the distance, Chang Su heard a familiar female voice saying, "Brother Lin Shu, is that you?"

Chang Su turned sideways and saw Nihuang crying with joy on the corridor not far away. She rushed into his arms crying and laughing, just like she was that carefree girl ten years ago , he is still her pillar, her love

"Nihuang, why are you here? Shouldn't you be watching the New Year's Eve with Mu Qing tonight?" Lin Shu felt heartbroken as he hugged the strong female general in his arms.

This woman that he used to protect in the palm of his hand, finally became the pillar of Mu Qing because of herself, and became the pillar of everyone in the Yunnan Palace, but she was the only one who could no longer be her pillar.

"Brother Lin Shu, it's great, you can still stand by my side, you can still talk to me, that's great." Looking up from Lin Shu's embrace, Nihuang seemed to have returned to the carefree person she was more than ten years ago. look like.

"Don't cry, it won't look good when you cry with makeup on. Today is a reunion day and you shouldn't be so sad." Lin Shu said softly as he wiped away her tears.

"I used to think that Nihuang once thought that the only way to see his brother is to go to Huangquan and pass the Naihe Bridge. Unexpectedly... Nihuang can't express the joy in his heart in words now."

"Okay, let's go back to the house and talk about the profile."

Clutching brother Lin Shu's arm, Nihuang walked happily into the house, and the emperor Xiao Jingyan in the palace also quietly came to the Su residence after giving the New Year's food to the last mansion. The New Year should be with the person you love the most, right?

When Jingyan came to Su's house, Nihuang hadn't left yet, she was holding Changsu and asking for his warmth, listening to his promises over and over again, Nihuang felt a little bit safe.

"You promise not to lie to me this time, brother. If you lie to me again, I will leave the Southern Territory. I don't care if the Southern Chu invades or not." Nihuang said angrily.

"How could Nihuang say these words from your mouth? You will not be allowed to say such words in the future." Chang Su couldn't help but blame when he heard this.

"As long as brother Lin Shu doesn't lie to me again, Nihuang will be obedient in the future."

"Okay." Chang Su nodded in agreement.

Jingyan stood at the door for quite a while, but the two people in the room still didn't notice his arrival.As a last resort, he could only cough a few times to prove his existence.

Hearing the source of the sound, the two of them quickly turned their heads, and when they realized that it was His Majesty, he quickly got up and saluted, "Nihuang, the grassroots Mei Changsu has seen His Majesty."

"Get up, I didn't disturb the two of you when I came here at night." Although Jingyan was smiling, his tone seemed to be angry.

Nihuang didn't care but just smiled and said, "This year's old, your majesty is not in the palace to accompany your queen and eldest son, what to do at my elder brother Lin Shu's house, is it also here to accompany you to watch the year like Nihuang."

"Nihuang." Chang Su stopped Nihuang, not wanting her to say anything outrageous.

Jingyan didn't care about the dissatisfaction in her tone and said, "What about the princess? Why don't you stay with Mu Qing in the mansion."

"Qing'er is already an adult, so I should let him go and fight on his own. Besides, my sister is always by his side, so he will never grow up, that's not good."

"Okay, both of you, today is New Year's Eve and we should be peaceful, can you sit down and drink a cup of tea I made." Chang Su came out to round things up.

The two of them took a look at Chang Su and sat down at the same time. Chang Su looked at Jingyan who was sitting in the first seat, and at Nihuang who was next to him, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, brother?" Nihuang asked.

"I'm laughing at your childishness."

"Childish." Jingyan was puzzled.

"Isn't it? We grew up together and know each other's temperament very well. The bickering between the two of you just now reminded me of when I was young. The carefree youth is really nostalgic." Chang Su couldn't help sighing. .

"Yeah, more than ten years have passed in a flash! Nihuang is also old and no longer the girl in memory. Brother, I feel tired."

"As long as we can keep in touch, I'll be satisfied if we meet every now and then, so why would I get bored. No matter how much time passes, Nihuang is still the brightest and most beautiful woman in my brother's heart."

"Speaking of which, I have a problem that I have always wanted to care about the princess. Why is the princess still unwilling to get married when she is almost thirty?"

"Get married! Nihuang, thank you for your majesty's concern, Nihuang would rather be alone for the rest of her life if she didn't meet someone destined to be with her."

"Nihuang..." Chang Su couldn't help sighing.

"Brother, don't worry. Before I went back to Jinling, a wizard in Southern Chu told me that I would meet that destined person this year and that I would marry him before I turned 30. I didn't believe it before I came back, but now I believe it." Ni Huang looked at Chang Su and said.

"I'm sorry Nihuang, I might not be your predestined person." Seeing Jingyan's expression clearly grim, Chang Su could only cruelly refuse.

"I know, Nihuang has known since my brother resolutely went to the northern border, brother, now Nihuang doesn't ask for any predestined relationship at all, I just hope that I can always be by your side." Nihuang said it sincerely. As time passed, Chang Su didn't know how to retaliate.

There was a sense of anxiety in the air for a moment, at this moment Nishang suddenly said: "It's getting late, Nihuang won't bother brother today, although keeping the year old is a tradition, don't be too tired, Nihuang will leave first." Nihuang looked at the two of them with a smile and got up.

"Nihuang... why don't you watch the new year with me." Chang Su asked to stay.

"No need, brother. Although I said so, Qing'er is still young after all. I'm afraid he won't feel at ease when I'm not in the mansion. You don't have to send me off, brother. I will bring Qing'er to visit New Year's greetings with me someday." Nihuang Standing by the door, he gave the two of them a retrospective smile and then left.

It wasn't until she walked out of Su Zhai that her emotions completely collapsed, and her brother Lin Shu could only be her brother in the end.It's just that the emperor is He De and how can he get his heart, and when did the relationship between them start.Is it the wholehearted help two years ago, or the farewell to Meiling 15 years ago.It turned out that she had lost her happiness unconsciously.

When Nihuang returned to the mansion, she was back to that shrewd and decisive female general, and she couldn't see how sad she was just now.Winter is going to pass, and spring will come. There is nothing that cannot be left in the heart. It is just a matter of time.

After Nihuang left, Jingyan hugged Changsu from behind, put his head on his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry Xiaoshu, if it weren't for me, you and Nihuang would have been a couple, and you should live happily. It will never be like this at all.”

"Your Majesty regretted being with me." Chang Su turned around and asked.

"How could it be? I'll let you go until I die. No, I will never let you go. Even if I reach the reincarnation stage, I will catch up with you. I will never let you reincarnate alone, Xiaoshu."

Listening to Jingyan's rare love words, Changsu smiled like the most brilliant fireworks in the sky and said, "Jingyan hopes that we can meet again in the next life."

Jingyan smiles and kisses Changsu's lips with infinite tenderness.And in the distant sky once again a gorgeous firework bloomed, and the friendship between the two under the eaves was like the most dazzling morning star in the sky, which would appear in the sky no matter at dusk or in the morning. Chang Gung.
