Jade of Rebirth

The summer is so hot that the whole city of Kyoto seems to be in a steamer. There are even fewer pedestrians on the streets. The willows on the side of the road are curled up as if wilted, and the yellow dog is lying on the side with its tongue sticking out. , quietly dissipating the heat.

However, Prince Zhao's mansion is extremely cool... Yuli is afraid of the heat, so Yuan Heng pulled a lot of ice cubes and placed them in the mansion, and asked someone to pull a black sunshade cloth to cover the main house, thus dispersing a lot of sunlight. It's much cooler than other places.

Yuli was wearing a thin summer shirt, sitting under the airy eaves, half leaning on the cool mat, all his black hair tied up, looking very refreshing, which also made him a little more heroic.While eating the iced plums on the plate, he was reading a book with a scroll, his expression very focused.

"I knew it was cool in your house, so I came here specially to hide..." A familiar voice came from not far away.

Yu Li tilted the scroll, and saw Wen Yuxue coming.

Wen Yuxue's stature has grown a lot, now she is wearing light-colored clothes, her black hair is tied up, and she is holding a white paper fan. She looks like a refined and romantic young man.

"A Li, since you married King Zhao, you have become more and more lazy, and you don't even go to Qingtong Academy." Wen Yuxue walked up to him and patted his thigh, "I saw Duke Qi when I went yesterday Well, he is still scolding you there, saying that you are "splashed by a married apprentice", and he doesn't know how to go to see him..."

Yu Li couldn't help laughing, and said: "Just let him talk, and he's just talking, don't I often ask people to bring wine to Qi Mansion for him? The old man just has no one to argue with him, he has nothing to do. Panic."

The maid brought out an armchair, Wen Yuxue sat down beside Yuli, and said, "It's so cool here, King Zhao treats you so well, and there are ice-cold plums to eat, it's so pleasant."

"So I asked someone to bring you a message, and told you to come to me when you have time, but you didn't come by yourself." Yu Li held the scroll sorely, and buckled the scroll to the small case beside it, and simply didn't read the book He said, "You can't rest on your own, and you still run around in this hot day, and you're not afraid of heatstroke. Why, didn't your stepmother hold you back?"

"My mother won't hold me back." Wen Yuxue picked up plums on a plate and said happily, "It's also good for me to go out and run around. You see, I often bring you all kinds of fresh plums." News, no, I ran out yesterday, guess who I saw?"

"Who did you meet?" Yu Li teased him, "Did you see the Fifth Prince come to marry you?"

"Fuck you!" Wen Yuxue blushed, turned her face away and said unhappy, "I'll ignore you if you bring this up again!"

Yu Li laughed out loud and said: "Okay, okay, just don't talk about this matter, tell me, who did you see?"

Seeing his curiosity, Wen Yuxue was immediately attracted to him, and said excitedly and proudly, "I met Yuqing, the eldest son of the Yu family! A Li, do you remember? Your cousin Yuqing!"

The smile on Yu Li's lips suddenly froze, and he asked in surprise, "Who are you talking about?"

"Yuqing!" Wen Yuxue said everything she had seen and known like beans in a bamboo tube, "Hey, I saw him in the city yesterday. He was riding a horse, followed by five or six soldiers. They are full of murderous looks, and you can tell that he has experienced many battles. He is wearing a silver armor, not to mention how mighty! Compared with before, he is much stronger. He used to be like a scholar, but now he is completely a general. He is not approachable at all, but he is fierce. Later I heard that he just suppressed the bandits in the northwest, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the third rank!"

Hearing this, Yuli was naturally surprised and delighted, so surprised that Yuqing returned to the court so quickly, and it could almost be regarded as a great military exploit and a glorious return.Happily, at the beginning when the other party joined the army for him, he naturally felt guilty in his heart, and he was afraid that the other party would suffer some injuries on the battlefield in the army. Now that the other party is not only unscathed, but has also become the deputy commander of the capital, he wholeheartedly supports him Happy!

But at the same time that he was pleasantly surprised, he also felt guilty... After Yuqing left, he was busy fighting with the Qin family and Yuxuan Yuwan, and later married Yuanheng, but he never wrote a letter to Yuqing. There was never a single word... But Yuqing also said at the time that he would write to him, and he never received his letter later, and I don't know if Yuqing has let go of his feelings for him.

Wen Yuxue looked at Yu Li who was in a daze, and couldn't help shaking her hands in front of him: "What's the matter with you? What are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Yu Li smiled, "I just remembered something from the past."

Wen Yuxue said with a smile: "You have such a good relationship with him, you must be so happy?"

Yu Li smiled, and asked casually: "How do you know that I have a good relationship with him?"

"Hey, he was so helpful to you when you were in Yufu before, and he said you didn't have a good relationship?" Wen Yuxue said, then picked a plum from the plate and threw it into the mouth, and said with a smile, "Before Yuan Heng also came to ask me, what is your relationship with him, and I said that you two are very good cousins."

When Yu Li heard this, he was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Yuan Heng once came to ask you about my relationship with Yu Qing? When did it happen?"

Wen Yuxue scratched her head, and tried to recall: "I also forgot the exact time, it was a long time ago, it seems like last year, when you two were not married, anyway, he came to ask seriously Mine, because I can’t speak, I made gestures with me for a long time.” After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, “I didn’t understand at that time, but now it seems that he must have heard about you from nowhere and was jealous. Bar."

Yuli heard this, but was still very puzzled. Yuan Heng should not have faced Yuqing face to face. When the two of them were about to fall in love, Yuqing had already joined the army. Where did he hear that he and Yuqing thing?Only Wen Yuxue and Bisheng knew about him and Yuqing, and Bisheng's mouth was not so broken, so how did Yuan Heng know about it?

In the afternoon, Wen Yuxue left, but a servant came in and reported:

"Qi Wangfei, a person dressed as an imperial guard sent a letter, saying it was for you."

Yu Li took the envelope suspiciously, opened it, and found that it was written in unfamiliar but familiar handwriting:

"Brother Qingjian:

It's been more than a year since I left, I don't know if it's safe or not?Brother Yu is in the northwest, thinking about it day and night, wishing to see you.I have come back from Liuying today, and I look forward to meeting you in Xiankelai tomorrow.Brother Yu is willing to be the tail and hold the pillar to death, and will not stop until you come. "

The inscription is "Yuqing Zishang".

Yuli was pleasantly surprised at first, but the more she looked at the back, the more she frowned: Yuqing's words clearly showed that she did not let go of her feelings for him, and at the end she added a sentence, "I wish to die with the tail and hug the pillar, and I will not wait for you." Come and never stop", clearly meaning that he must go.

Now that Yuqing has returned to the capital, he should know that he is already married to Yuan Heng and has become a married woman. Although he is a man's wife, it's probably not good to meet a man in private like this, right?Isn't Yuqing embarrassing him?

Yu Li folded the letter paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, planning to wait for Yuan Heng to come back before asking him what he meant.

But in fact, Yuli knew in her heart that if Yuanheng, a big jealousy, read this letter, it would be strange to make a mess without proper measure!
