After I fell off my horse, I was married for nine thousand years

After the word nine thousand years came out, the room fell into a silence that could drown people.

In the silence of the room, only the crackling of the candle wicks was left.

Yan Huaiyin avoided talking to Jiang Lian for more than two months, and Jiang Lian did not come to him.

Just living like this, it seems that if the time is longer, what happened that night can really pass away, and it will never be remembered again.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Huaiyin said: "Okay, I understand, you can go out."

Qiuniang backed out, and after the door of the room was closed, Yan Huaiyin lowered her eyes and put the pen on the pen holder.

The slender pen trembled at his fingertips, Yan Huaiyin held his breath, and did not put it on for a long time.

After a long time, he gave up and casually threw the pen aside.

The brush stained with ink touched the white rice paper beside it, leaving a messy ink stain.

-

The third day after Yan Xiuqing and Huo Yunping came back was the day when Emperor Chengde went to hunt in autumn.

Daqi autumn hunting and ancestor worship are carried out at the same time. The palace temple is adjacent to the royal hunting ground. The emperor opened the palace temple on the second day after hunting the first prey in the hunting ground, and sent the prey to the altar. peaceful.

The hunting grounds and palaces and temples are in the suburbs. Once Emperor Chengde went, plus the days he spent playing in the hunting grounds, it would take more than half a month.

But this year the Turks were rampant at the border, and the autumn hunt hadn't started yet, and Emperor Chengde's intentions had already been revealed.

He wants to do it with great fanfare, with a great momentum, and to show off the power of the country.

Emperor Chengde thought so, during the autumn hunting, more than half of the court officials also went.

The favorite minister Jiang Lian, who is nine thousand years old, naturally followed.

Five days after Emperor Chengde went to the autumn hunt, Yan Huaiyin entered the palace at the queen's call.

During the bumpy autumn hunt, the empress suffered a sudden illness and stayed in the palace. Only at this time can she issue a decree.

Usually, Xiao Rubi sent Daoyi orders to let Yan Huaiyin enter the palace from time to time, but he had refused all of them in the past, but this time he accepted because of Yan Xiuqing.

Xiao Rubi has no children, all relatives are extinct, only Yan Huaiyin and Yan Xiuqing are left in her blood.

After Nanyanghou's incident, since Xiao Rubi found out his identity, he couldn't ignore him.

It was the time when the wind of autumn was blowing, Yan Xiuqing followed Yan Huaiyin and the autumn wind all the way through the palace road, and arrived in front of Weixi Palace.

The Empress was ill, the gate of Weixi Palace had been tightly closed for the past few days, only a crack was slightly cracked today.

Lian Fang was standing in front of the door waiting.

When she saw Yan Xiuqing beside Yan Huaiyin, she was startled, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Exactly the same, exactly the same as the old queen in memory.

She was raised with care, a young girl of Qing Lingling, at such a good age.

The two stood still in front of Lian Fang, Yan Huaiyin pretended not to see the tears in Lian Fang's eyes, he reached out and patted Yan Xiuqing's head, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't need to call Queen after you go in, call aunt."

Yan Xiuqing looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and nodded obediently.

Lian Fang said from the side: "Master Yan, won't you go in, your empress is waiting for you too."

She has been with Xiao Rubi for so many years and knows almost everything.Now that he knows who Yan Xiuqing is, he also knows who Yan Huaiyin is.

Yan Huaiyin smiled and said, "I won't go in, just wait outside."

Lian Fang wanted to say something more, but Yan Xiuqing understood him.She took a step forward and smiled at Lian Fang: "Aunt Lian Fang, let's go in."

Lian Fang could only take her in first.

The heavy palace gate of Weixi Palace was gently closed, Yan Huaiyin stood under the gate of Vermilion Palace, looking boredly at the withered pomegranate tree not far away.

The Weixi Palace is located in a remote place, so few people come here on weekdays, and the Empress is not favored, so there are even few people in front of the gate.

Yan Huaiyin stood here for a long time, but didn't meet anyone.

Therefore, when there was a loud noise in front of him, Yan Huaiyin raised his eyes in surprise, and looked towards the end of the straight palace road.

A few figures appeared at the end, the one at the front was in a hurry, almost walking and running, followed by two or three people who were also hurrying.

It wasn't until they got closer that Yan Huaiyin saw clearly who was leading the way.

The man saw him too.

"Yo, hello Mrs. Yan." Jiang Yang was sweating, but stopped after seeing Yan Huaiyin.He seemed to be in a hurry, and after a hasty salute, he was about to continue running.

"Eunuch Xiaojiang wait a moment." Yan Huaiyin called to stop him.

His complexion didn't change much, as if he was really just curious, he said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Jiang come back from Autumn Hunting?"

Jiang Lian accompanied Emperor Chengde to the autumn hunt, and Jiang Yang, as his closest apprentice, couldn't help but go.

Yan Huaiyin had never seen Jiang Yang become so anxious.

Jiang Yang's raised foot was forced to stop there, and he had time to wipe the sweat from his brow, and said anxiously, "Something happened to my master."

Yan Huaiyin's eyes froze.

"He followed His Majesty to go hunting in autumn," Jiang Yang scolded Emperor Chengde again in his heart, "Your Majesty met a tiger in the hunting ground, and he couldn't beat it himself, so he let the slave master to do it. Master is not alone. What's more, I was bitten by a tiger, and now this servant is going to the palace to find the imperial doctor."

The three mistresses following him heard Jiang Yang talking about Emperor Chengde in this way, and all of them opened their eyes wide.

What does it mean that the emperor has no ability to hit?

Hearing this, Yan Huaiyin's fingertips under his wide sleeves trembled, his face didn't show anything, he just hummed, and rolled his eyes: "Then Mr. Jiang, go quickly."

Jiang Yang saluted him again, and hurried away with the people.

The hustle and bustle was fleeting, and the palace road was quiet again in a blink of an eye.

Yan Huaiyin raised his eyes and looked at the same pomegranate tree again.

Without the patience he had just now, he looked away impatiently after watching for a while.

Yan Xiuqing and Xiao Rubi came out after chatting for a long time. On the way home, Yan Xiuqing tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Brother, I like aunt."

The two sat in the carriage, Yan Huaiyin went to look at the street outside the window, and after hearing what she said, he hummed slowly after a long time: "Just like it."

Xiao Rubi was good at talking and protecting his weaknesses, Yan Huaiyin was the prince and elder brother when he was a child, Yan Wanqing was so strict with him, when he rarely felt wanton and happy, it was this aunt who took him there.

Yan Xiuqing propped her chin, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you know when your aunt confirmed your identity?"

Yan Huaiyin looked at her with a smile: "When?"

"She said it was Lian Fang who brought you the cakes," Yan Xiuqing blinked, "Auntie said that a courtier would not refuse a royal reward, but a nephew would refuse Auntie."

Yan Huaiyin smiled after hearing this.

He didn't expect that it was Xiao Rubi's temptation.

Seeing him, Yan Xiuqing just smiled casually and straightened up.

The little girl looked at Yan Huaiyin: "Yan Huaiyin, there is something wrong with you."

Yan Huaiyin taught her absent-mindedly: "It's not big or small."

Yan Xiuqing leaned against the wall of the carriage and said again: "Brother, there is something wrong with you anyway."

In her memory, she had never seen Yan Huaiyin like this.

Too... out of my mind.

This insanity continued into the night.

After dinner, Yan Huaiyin finally said to Yan Xiuqing: "You rest first, I'll go out for a while."

Xu Zhi said sideways: "What if the Crane Feather Army enters the city at night?"

The Heyu Army will return to Chaohua City intermittently in the next few days, and Yan Huaiyin has been trying not to leave the mansion since a while ago.

Yan Huaiyin said to Yan Xiuqing: "Sister, can you handle it?"

"Yes, yes," Yan Xiuqing saw Yan Huaiyin who was about to get up and go out after hearing her answer, "But are you really planning not to come back all night?"

Yan Huaiyin's footsteps paused.

He didn't say anything to answer her, and walked out of the yard.

Yan Huaiyin didn't feel absurd until he came to the gate of Qiansui Mansion.

The moonlight filled the beams of the Qiantose Mansion, Yan Huaiyin looked at the closed gate of the Qiantose Mansion for a while, and walked around to the side without pushing it open.

He climbed over the wall and entered the Chitose Mansion.

Chitose Mansion was so quiet that the only sound was his landing.Yan Huaiyin thought as he walked, if Jiang Lian was his courtyard in the palace now, he would go back and pretend that Quan had never been there.

Until he saw the light of a candle burning in Jiang Lian's room.

There was no partition in Jiang Lian's room, so Yan Huaiyin pushed open the door and saw the bed with the curtains down at the end of the room.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, one can vaguely see the figure inside.

Yan Huaiyin didn't hesitate too much, and reached out to lift the bed curtain after approaching.

The bed curtain was slowly pulled away, and he met Jiang Lian's eyes inside.

Jiang Lian half leaned on the bed, raised her head and looked at Yan Huaiyin, there was no surprise in her amber pupils.

The two were silent for a moment without speaking.

Yan Huaiyin looked into his eyes, and the first thought was that these eyes were too different from those eight years ago.

How can a person change so much?

But when he glanced down, he knew instantly that he had been fooled.

Jiang Lian's whole body was in good condition, and there was no trace of injury.

As soon as Yan Huaiyin let go of the bed curtain, he was about to step back, but the next moment, Jiang Lian grabbed his wrist.

Jiang Lian grabbed his wrist and pulled it, causing Yan Huaiyin to fall onto the bed.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Jiang Lian's voice came up in a deep voice: "I'm hurt."

He took Yan Huaiyin's wrist and turned it forward, handing it to him, and said in a low voice, "Look."

Yan Huaiyin looked down and saw a bandage wrapped around his strong forearm.

Because of the pulling just now, some blood oozes from the bandage.

The wrist under the forearm was still tightly clamping his wrist, if Yan Huaiyin tried to pull his hand out, the blood would definitely ooze even more.

Yan Huaiyin paused, then laughed angrily: "Is this bitten by a tiger?"

He said so, but he didn't pull his hands out again.

"It was bitten by a tiger," Jiang Lian stroked the inside of his wrist twice with his fingertips flatteringly, and said softly, "If you think it's unreal, I'll let you bite again."

Yan Huaiyin: "..."

He was not as shameless as Jiang Lian, Yan Huaiyin turned his eyes and changed his tone: "Weixi Palace is so far away from the Tai Hospital, nine thousand years old is about to be killed by a tiger, and the apprentice can still go around the long way to Weixi Palace for a while trip."

"Jiang Lian," Yan Huaiyin curled his lips, looking arrogantly beautiful by the candlelight, "this apprentice should deal with it as soon as possible."

Jiang Lian was very frank: "I did it on purpose."

Qiu Lie accompanies the emperor to hunt and sacrifice, so it is not as important to come back to coax Yan Huaiyin.

Tell the story of his injury, and wait here quietly for a whole day, finally waiting for his little liar.

What he said was so magnanimous, but Yan Huaiyin didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

Fortunately, knowing Jiang Lian's identity was enough to make him want to understand too many things.

"I've always wondered," Yan Huaiyin looked at him and said, "Your method, even if you don't go to the palace very often, since you bought it, you don't know about sending so much gold to the palace, do you?"

"Jiang Lian, you deliberately let someone send the gold from the Chen Mansion to the Wang Mansion you bought, right?"

He is so smart, Jiang Lian naturally couldn't hide it from him: "Yes, if the gold is sent to the palace, it has something to do with me. If you investigate the Nanyang Hou's mansion, I have a reason to intervene."

It's just that he didn't expect that his little highness would rush to the suburbs overnight.

Jiang Lian held Yan Huaiyin's wrist tightly again, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

All the questions Yan Huaiyin was going to prepare for were instantly disintegrated and disappeared in his sorry.

After a long time, he could only ask: "Didn't I tell you to go to the southern frontier?"

How to... become a eunuch?

Jiang Lian actually smiled, and he waved to Yan Huaiyin, motioning him to come over.

Yan Huaiyin fell silent and leaned against him.

As he stepped forward like this, the two of them got very close.Outside the bed, the shadows of the two intertwined tenderly.

Jiang Lian reached out and pinched his cheek, and said with a low laugh, "Let me pinch it, and I'll tell you."

"I don't know where to find you," he said frivolously, fearing that Yan Huaiyin would get angry, Jiang Lian continued, "There is no you in Nanzhen."

His eyes looked over, with an unshielded, affection that Yan Huaiyin couldn't see through.

Yan Huaiyin asked him, "Is this why you stayed in Chaohua City?"

Jiang Lian asked, "Can I give you a hug?"

In the silence, Jiang Lian wrapped his other arm around Yan Huaiyin's waist.

He is cautious in his movements, but he is not open to comment.

Until Yan Huaiyin was finally held in his arms.

Jiang Lian leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Yes, I only did one thing."

His voice was very soft: "waiting for you to come back."

Just to wait for your return.

Yan Huaiyin closed her eyes: "What if I don't come back?"

"I don't know," Jiang Lian's arms tightened, and his voice was very soft, "I'll just wait for you to come back."

"I thought you were picking and choosing, and chose me among a group of people," Yan Huaiyin smiled, "I thought I was a pawn from the northwest, so it should be easier to manipulate, and there was Zhao Huan's army behind me, so I moved my mind .”

As for what kind of thoughts, Yan Huaiyin resisted from the beginning, and didn't bother to think about it in the end.

"No one else," Jiang Lian said, "It's always been you."

"It's been you from the beginning, Yan Huaiyin, it's always been you."
