I wish for a long time

Time seemed to have stopped.

The moment her and Qi Shaoan's eyes met, they stopped.

Ye Jiu's heart trembled violently as he looked at those watery eyes that contained a hint of sadness.

go home……

She had imagined it countless times and in countless ways, if suddenly one day, she returned to that familiar world.

Hitting the sword, jumping off a cliff, being struck by lightning...how come they are not human.

At first she was looking forward to it, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.

But later, she began to try to integrate into this place, and met various people or things, so she gradually discovered that she was just as alive here.

Not what she thought, a bystander.

She is getting busier, more responsible, and more... reluctant to leave here.

Ye Jiu's eyes trembled slightly.

Yes, I am reluctant to leave.

She deliberately avoided this question, strangled the thought of going back as soon as it appeared in the cradle, and didn't think about the future at all.

It's like the anxious indulgence when the school is approaching, the homework has not been finished, and the phone is reluctant to put down.

But the problem is not that if you don't want it, it won't happen.

In particular, Song Chuxun's defying the law forcefully pulled her back from fantasy to reality.

Go home, can you go home, how to go home, go back, what to do here.

Ye Jiu's throat moved, and a shallow hum came out of her nasal cavity. Looking into Qi Shaoan's moist eyes, she spoke slowly:

"I do not know."

Seeing the hope in Qi Shaoan's eyes shattered in an instant, Ye Jiu clasped her head, lowered his head and kissed her.

The words Qi Shaoan was about to ask were drowned between their entangled lips and tongues, she trembled slightly, and tears just fell down.

She knew that Ajiu didn't want to answer this question.

Maybe she didn't know, maybe she didn't want to face it, no matter what, Ajiu couldn't give her the answer she wanted.

In fact, she already knew Ajiu's answer.

Ye Jiu clasped the back of Qi Shaoan's head with one hand, his breathing was obviously rapid and messy, he was obviously taking the initiative, but he seemed to be more flustered than Qi Shaoan.

Her thumbs pressed against Qi Shaoan's temples, and the gap between them slowly got wet, and finally merged into water droplets and flowed down the gap.

Those slightly cool thin lips trembled uncontrollably, and the small frequencies were like needles like cow hairs, piercing Ye Jiu's heart along the blood.

How could Shao'er not know what Shao'er thought and wished in her heart.

But she couldn't control all this at all, just like she couldn't let Song Chuxun stay in the capital safely.

It seems that there is a definite plan in the dark, and it seems that someone is manipulating this big show.

Everything, she doesn't know.

Ye Jiu gently let go of Qi Shaoan, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice like the sea:

"If I could, I'd like to stay."

……

Mrs. Lin has been in the palace for two days, but still no news has come back.

Ye Jiu regretted that in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't put eyeliner into the palace. Now she dragged her family and lay on the cutting board, but she didn't even have a chance to turn over.

Song Chuxun was in a coma for a day and a night, finally opened his eyes, and before his tongue straightened out, he said weakly:

"I want to eat a full banquet..."

Ye Jiu was almost thrown out by her, but in less than half an hour, Xue Jingning, that prodigal son, and a young cook from Baiyan Pavilion really set up one hundred and eight dishes.

Song Chuxun suddenly woke up from fright, and a bright light of hunger burst out in his eyes.

Ye Jiu was silent for three seconds, then turned his head and left.

People are stupid and have a lot of money, Xue Ergou, who value sex and despise friends Song Cuihua.

I bother.

Xi Ning can now try to go to the ground, while Dong Fei only comes to stay for a quarter of an hour every day, and then rushes back to the hall.

Dongfei proved with practical actions that the son's life is above all else.

Ye Jiu couldn't bear it, but he could only sigh secretly.

The weather in the Hou Mansion was calm, and there was no panic on the surface, but everyone tensed up, as if a slight pressure would cause the whole person to collapse in an instant.

After confessing that day, Qi Shaoan never asked her about modern affairs again, as if nothing had happened, handling all the big and small matters in the Hou's mansion, all showing the demeanor of being the mistress of the house, and becoming the whole Hou. The backbone and vane of the government.

As long as the young lady is stable, there will be nothing wrong with the Hou Mansion.

But only Ye Jiu knew that every time Qi Shaoan returned to the house, she would spend more and more time in a daze, and sometimes when the pen was completely dry, she didn't notice it at all.

Ye Jiu often hid behind the door and observed quietly. She really wanted to wrap the little girl in her arms in her arms, but she also knew that every time she appeared, it was like a warning sign to remind Qi Shaoan, that Straight to the soul question.

Ye Jiu thinks he is quite self-aware, she doesn't hang around in front of Qi Shao'an when she's fine, and just watches her well from a distance.

"Son."

Nan Yuan quickly ran into the room and quickly closed the door.

Ye Jiu came back to his senses, looked at Nan Yuan sweating profusely, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over, "Speak slowly."

Nanyuan Gudu Gudu drank it all, he took a breath, and said: "Young master, from the capital to the east to the tomb of the first emperor, there is a Qingyin mountain in the middle, this mountain is located at the intersection of the three cities, it is a place where no one cares Banditry is rampant here, and merchants and darts in the past often fell here."

While listening, Ye Jiu looked at the city defense map in front of her. She tapped her fingers on the table, frowning and saying nothing.

Nan Yuan didn't dare to interrupt her, but just stood beside her quietly.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Bai Jian pushed the door open and walked in, Nan Yuan made a gesture to him upon seeing this, Bai Jian understood it, and quietly walked to Ye Jiu's side.

"How big are the bandits in Qingyin Mountain?"

"A hundred and twenty people."

As soon as he heard the thick voice, Ye Jiu raised his head subconsciously and found that Bai Jian was standing in front of him.

"Uncle Bai? When did you come?"

"When you are concentrating on looking at the map."

Bai Jian waved his hand, and then said: "The banditry here is quite loyal. They only rob nobles and wealthy businessmen. They don't touch ordinary people. Why did Jin'er suddenly ask about this?"

Ye Jiu asked without answering, "How did Uncle Bai know?"

Bai Jian chuckled, "Back then, the three counties jointly participated in the Qingyin Mountain banditry rampant, and the general was ordered to wipe it out. He thought he was a gangster who did all kinds of crimes, but it turned out to be a hidden knight who robbed the rich and gave to the poor. So in the end, the general Instead of recruiting this group of people, they ordered the county magistrates of several surrounding counties, which caused the late emperor a headache for quite a while."

Ye Jiu couldn't help laughing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Bai, I might trouble you to go."

Bai Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't respond, as if he was waiting for Ye Jiu's explanation.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Baijian, with a solemn look in his eyes, "Uncle Bai, please don't let anyone know about it, please."

She looked at Nanyuan again: "You go too, protect Mr. Good."

Bai Jian was only stunned for a few moments, then stuffed the note into his sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "Let's pretend to leave tonight, and you take care of the house."

Ye Jiu nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Bai, someone will pretend to be you, you two should be careful."

Just as Bai Jian and Nan Yuan left, Dong Fei hurried in on the back.

"Son!"

Ye Jiu shook her head to keep herself awake, she looked at Dongfei, her face moved slightly, "How?"

Dong Fei quickly took out a piece of paper from her bosom, and handed it to Ye Jiu, "Someone handed me this thing just now, and told me to hand it to you, Young Master."

Ye Jiu quickly took it over, and saw a black animal pattern on a piece of cicada wing paper, and a clear jade seal seal on it.

Ye Jiu's silent face finally loosened a bit, and even the corners of his mouth, which had been tense for many days, curled up visibly.

"She did not disappoint me."

……

Yihui Palace.

Smoke rose from the incense burner, filling the whole room.

On the seat, a woman in a well-dressed dress was holding a delicate palace fan and was slowly fanning it, her face was indescribably charming.

"Sister Shu, have you thought about it?"

Mrs. Lin sat on the small couch, the corners of her lips trembled, her eyes drooped slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "I have already given you the answer."

An indescribable silence flashed in Zheng Taifei's eyes, she pursed her lips, and chuckled again: "Sister Shu is so born, but you want to draw a line with your younger sister?"

Mrs. Lin paused, with a hint of sneer on her lips: "Boundary? Zheng Youxi, as early as 20 years ago, you and I have already drawn a clear line."

Concubine Zheng's complexion froze, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly frowned, the brilliance in her eyes flowed, and she was faintly sad.

"Sister Shu, why did I enter the palace in the first place, don't you know?"

Mrs. Lin was taken aback, her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, she pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Concubine Zheng saw that Mrs. Lin was silent, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly. She stood up slowly and walked to the window.

"Back then, the late emperor accepted me as a concubine to quell the grievances of the generals. Even though my father was unwilling in every possible way, the emperor's fate was greater than heaven, and he finally sent me to the palace."

"In a flash, there are also twenty years."

She turned around, looked at Mrs. Lin's side face, and choked slightly, "But who asked me, I would like to enter this tiger's den and dragon's pool."

Mrs. Lin's heart tightened, she looked at the new leaves hovering in the teacup, but she didn't know what to say, and where to start.

Concubine Zheng pursed the corners of her lower lips casually, and continued: "At that time, my close friends envied me for flying on the branches, and even my uncles and uncles complimented my parents openly and secretly, but the ridiculous thing is that I seem to have infinite beauty , but he didn't help dad at all, and even became a bargaining chip to restrict father."

Mrs. Lin raised her head to look at her, and saw a lonely and thin figure under the gorgeous silk and brocade clothes.

Concubine Zheng shook her sleeves, as if thinking of something funny, her voice became brisk again, "At that time when I first entered the palace, I didn't pay attention to any rules or etiquette, so when I went to the concubine of the first queen mother, When I went down to the court ladies and eunuchs, they mocked me as reckless and frivolous in front of my face and behind my back, I was unruly and uneducated, and I couldn't even get into their eyes with my father."

Concubine Zheng turned around, leaned against the bed, and twirled the palace fan in her hand, "Father has been a soldier all his life, I can't be a stain on him."

Concubine Zheng's tone was light, but it weighed a thousand catties in Madam Lin's ears.

She knew best why the woman in front of her entered the palace.

If she and Lin Fu hadn't been framed back then, I'm afraid that pretty girl who went to the house to expose the tile and did all kinds of evil would never have any relationship with this deep palace compound in this life.

There was a trace of impatience in Mrs. Lin's eyes.

In her impression, Zheng Youxi is a cunning fox galloping in the mountains, an eagle soaring in the sky, alert and agile, proud of the world, a different kind of woman who is different from the ladies like them, with a free and easy spirit that they don't have.

She thought that Zheng Youxi would live a completely different ending from her own, a life she longed for but could not pursue.

However, she eventually fell into the hunter's trap, and even became the silverfish she despises the most——

Fighting openly and secretly, intrigues and deceptions, to achieve the goal by any means.

Madam Lin felt a little sad, she knew that this was all for living.

"You and I don't have a choice, do we?"

Concubine Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, she didn't choose to look at Mrs. Lin, but just stared at the incense burner in front of her, slightly lost in thought.

Mrs. Lin was breathless when she heard the words, didn't she have a choice?

"Our fate is never in our own hands, is it?"

"If you are not married, obey your father; when you are married, obey your husband; if your husband dies, obey your son."

Concubine Zheng sighed slightly, a sparkle flashed in her eyes, "These are never our bargaining chips, but our unavoidable concerns."

Sister Shu couldn't bear her father's black hair in vain, so she entered the Hou's Mansion.

She also couldn't ignore her father, so she entered the palace.

Sister Shu shoulders the responsibility of a family, and she also has a family of honor and disgrace behind her.

Later, they all had children.

In the face of reality, under the blood, those ignorant feelings become more and more worthless, and they are always put at the end.

Obviously the same starting point, but farther and farther away, wider and wider until we can no longer see each other.

Even if he turned around, there were already countless people standing in the middle, and that young dream had already been submerged in the shadows of many people.

"How many sons and daughters of the official family can find a lover, the higher you stand, the heavier the bondage." Madam Lin finally sighed, her voice was softer than usual.

Concubine Zheng looked at her for a long time, and asked gently: "Sister Shu, would you like to help me again?"

Mrs. Lin didn't speak, she rubbed the rim of the glass with her fingers, as if she was thinking about something.

Concubine Zheng looked at her movements, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Jin'er is indeed your child, even when she is nervous, her movements are exactly the same."

Mrs. Lin was slightly taken aback, she stared blankly at her right hand, and after a while, she shook her head slightly:

"Xi'er, Jian Liang has protected me for half my life, and I already owe him a lot. In this life, I can only guard this Marquis Mansion for him, and I have no other thoughts."

Hearing these words, Concubine Zheng couldn't hide the soreness at the tip of her nose, she didn't know what expression she should have for a moment.

At the end, she bent the corners of her lips, with tears in her eyes, and said softly:

"I didn't expect to hear you call me Xi'er again in this life."

She turned around and turned her back to Mrs. Lin, her voice suddenly became faint, "I'll send someone to escort you out of the palace tomorrow morning."

……

Tomorrow is the day of praying for the new year, and the whole capital is shrouded in a relaxed and happy noise.

Every family puts grains and pastes red talismans. Before the meal time, the streets are already filled with cigarettes.

The Hou Mansion also gradually eased the tense atmosphere, especially after Mrs. Lin returned home safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Lin didn't ask about the transfer and distribution of the mansion, or the whereabouts of Baijian and Sitong. After returning to the mansion, she went into the yard without saying a word, and she didn't leave any extra glances for everyone.

And that day, the sound of the piano rang throughout the whole night in the Hou Mansion.

Ye Jiu also went to ask, but seeing that there was nothing strange about Mrs. Lin, she left again in a daze.

"Young master, the manpower has been arranged. After the emperor and all the ministers leave the city tomorrow, I will lead people to surround Chu's mansion and rescue Mr. Xue."

Dong Fei stood in front of the table and said in a deep voice.

Ye Jiu nodded when he heard the words, "This time we must be quiet, and we must not let them find out."

She paused and said: "Old man Chu is very shrewd, there is no guarantee that she will not transfer Qingchi, you all remember to adapt accordingly."

Dong Fei cupped her hands: "Yes, my lord."

"By the way, is there any news about Bei Xiao and Nan Yuan?"

"Not yet, but Bei Xiao wrote back two days ago saying that there are already plans, and I'm afraid he is already on his way back."

"Big brother! Big brother!"

As soon as Dong Fei finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door was knocked open with great force.

Ye Jiu looked at Lu Lin's mouth twitching, "Are you an undercover agent sent by old man Chu?"

Lu Lin scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm so excited, brother, Nanyuan is back."

Ye Jiu heard a flash of light in his eyes: "Really!"

"Yes, son, I'm late."

Nan Yuan was covered in dust and unkempt, he was completely different from the energetic young man when he went out.

Ye Jiu almost didn't recognize it, "Brother Yuan, did you steal the mines?"

Nan Yuan rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "Stealing, I stayed in the deep mountains and old forests for ten days, and I didn't even have a place to change my clothes."

Dong Fei heard that he covered his nose and took a step aside, his dislike was palpable.

"Fortunately, this trip was worthwhile, sir, and asked me to report back."

The corners of Ye Jiu's lips curled into a beautiful arc. She stretched, stood up, and patted their shoulders: "Go back and get a good night's sleep. We'll go for a walk tomorrow."

……

When Ye Jiu entered the room, Qi Shaoan was bending over by the bed to tidy up.

Seeing this, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, walked over lightly, stood behind her for a few seconds, and suddenly jumped in front of her: "Hey, Shao'er!"

Qi Shao'an was taken aback, her feet wobbled and she almost fell off the pedals. Seeing this, Ye Jiu wrapped her arms around her waist, and due to inertia, both of them fell on the bed together.

Qi Shaoan was still in shock, and subconsciously pushed away the person under him, but when he saw Ye Jiu's face that deserved a slap, he was so angry that he slapped her.

"I'm in a better mood today, right? I just straightened my clothes. Look, it's wasted again."

Ye Jiu froze for a moment, then tilted his head, "I'm in a good mood?"

Qi Shaoan gave her a blank look, and snorted softly: "In the past, I wished I could hide eight feet away, but today I took the initiative to send you to my door. What is it if you are not in a good mood?"

Ye Jiu's expression went blank for a moment, and she said with a sneer, "I...how could I hide from you, Shao'er, you...you think too much."

Qi Shaoan wrinkled his nose, narrowed his almond eyes, and said condescendingly: "I, think too much?"

Seeing her about to tear someone apart, Ye Jiu swallowed, "I was wrong."

Qi Shao'an didn't hold back her smile, she pushed Ye Jiu away and sat up, pulled her aside, and pulled out the clothes that were pressed down.

Ye Jiu rolled to prop up his body, looked at Qi Shaoan flattening his sleeves, and asked in puzzlement, "Shao'er, your new clothes?"

Qi Shaoan looked foolish, "What day is tomorrow?"

Ye Jiu said blankly: "Pray... pray for the day of the new year, what's the matter?"

Seeing that she hadn't figured it out yet, Qi Shao'an shook her head helplessly, "Such an important day, of course it was sent by the palace. You just returned to Beijing not long ago, and this is the first occasion to participate in blessing and sacrifice, so of course I want to make you auspicious." Clothes."

Ye Jiu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Qi Shaoan folded the clothes and put them aside, reached out and took off the amulet from Ye Jiu's waist, and placed it on top of the clothes.

"Shaoer, what are you doing?"

Qi Shaoan arranged the jade pendant again, and replied, "I'm afraid I'll forget it tomorrow."

Ye Jiu was taken aback when he heard the words, his heart was full of warmth like a warm wind blowing through his heart.

She reached out to wrap her arms around Qi Shao'an's waist, and rubbed it over, "Shao'er, you are so kind."

The corners of Qi Shaoan's lips raised slightly, but he snorted, "Then tell me the truth, will there be danger tomorrow?"

Ye Jiu trembled slightly, and then she lay her pillow on Qi Shao'an's lap, raised a big face: "No, how could it be, His Majesty has already gone, how could there be any danger."

Qi Shaoan only glanced at her, took a sip of the tea next to her, and said, "Well, that's good."

Seeing that Qi Shaoan didn't ask any more questions, Ye Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would cause some unexplainable topics again, so she said, "Well... your tea smells so good, is it new?"

Qi Shao'an glanced at the teacup, "Aunt Lou sent it over, saying it was given by the Holy Spirit a month ago, let me taste it."

Ye Jiu sighed a little, "Holding tea in Mrs. Lou's hands is no different from pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. It seems that Mrs. Lou really likes you."

A slight smile appeared on Qi Shao'an's face, and he said softly, "Aunt Lou is a good person."

Ye Jiu reached out and poked the bottom of her bowl, pouted, "I'm thirsty."

Qi Shao'an looked down at Ye Jiu, then at the cup in his hand, suddenly raised his head and drank it clean.

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, and his jaw didn't close for a while.

Isn't it the tea given by His Majesty, let's not do it.

The moment she was dazed, Qi Shaoan put the cup back on the small table, and under Ye Jiu's surprised gaze, he bent down and pressed it against her slightly opened mouth.

The refreshing tea scent instantly filled the mouth, and the warm liquid flowed through the throat between the teeth, Ye Jiu just came back to his senses.

She blinked, and within a short distance was Qi Shao'an's gentle gaze.

Ye Jiu blushed all over his face for a moment, even all the way to the tips of his ears.

She found that her Shao'er was getting better and better, and sometimes she even felt a little overwhelmed.

If this is put into modern times, Shao'er must be a good student that teachers of all subjects vie for.

——Inferences from one instance to other cases, multi-faceted problem solving, never tired of it.

Xu Shi's posture was a little awkward, Qi Shao'an put one hand on the back of Ye Jiu's head, raising her a bit, and it was the same, the entanglement between their lips and tongues became more in-depth and lingering.

Ye Jiu's already surprised breathing lost its proper frequency, and Qi Shao'an's sudden and forceful return caught her by surprise, and she gasped slightly after a while.

The corners of Qi Shaoan's lips raised slightly, and she reached out and tore off her belt.

Ye Jiu felt the loosening of her clothes, and her eyes suddenly revealed a sense of desolation.

Coming out and mixing, sooner or later I have to pay it back.

……

From time to time, the house returned to tranquility.

There was constant buzzing of insects outside, and the house was panting again and again.

Ye Jiu closed his eyes tightly, as if he was fast asleep.

"See if you can hide from me next time."

A cold female voice came from the room, with a rising ending, yet charming.

With his back to Qi Shao'an, Ye Jiu remained motionless, not even daring to wipe off his sweat, so he could only silently grab the quilt tightly.

It was quiet for a while, and no one made a sound.

After a long time, there was a slight sigh in the air, Ye Jiu's heart tightened, and his sleepy heart began to pound again.

After touching for about ten seconds, Ye Jiu suddenly felt a cool touch on her forehead, and gently wiped off the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of moisture hit her earlobe, it was soft, touched it and left.

Ye Jiu's heart beat up again, and before she could silently recite the Great Compassion Mantra, that plain hand covered her palm.

Then fingers interlocked.

"Ajiu, you must protect yourself no matter what tomorrow."

Ye Jiu's breathing was stagnant, and she heard Qi Shao'an's whisper behind her, with a hint of hoarseness, and choked up sobbing that she didn't expect.

"I'll wait for your safe return."

The author has something to say: Make up for yesterday.

Well, the official accessories are reversible and irremovable, I understand. (than ok)
