A long song, half a lifetime

On a spring morning, it was warm and comfortable. Qin Moyu strolled along the path in the garden, enjoying this rare freedom and comfort.After discussing with Situ Xiao and his son yesterday, he decided to stay put and wait until he finds a good opportunity, and then raise his troops to the north to try to win the capital once and for all.In this way, he still has a stable life at present.

The flowers in the garden are blooming very well, especially the narcissus, which has always been called the fairy of flowers. The green and lush leaves seem to drip water, and the blooming flowers are like marigolds. Qin Moyu felt refreshed for a moment, and he couldn't help but lament the narcissus that was said to be "Borrowing water to bloom itself, and the water sinks to make bones and jade to make flesh. Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved.

Staring at the narcissus for a long time, Qin Moyu suddenly thought of Changge. That elegant and refined woman is not like this narcissus. good?It should be very happy!As the beloved princess, you should be carefree now!In your spare time, you still remember that there is one... me!

Qin Moyu smiled sadly, and said to himself: "Qin Moyu, Qin Moyu, what are you thinking! As long as Changge is happy, what reason do you have for people to remember you! You are destined to be just a passer-by in her life!"

.

"Your Majesty", a voice disrupted Qin Moyu's thoughts, he turned his head and saw that it was Situ Yuelan, "Miss Situ", Qin Moyu smiled.

Today's Situ Yuelan is a bit different from what Qin Moyu has seen in the past. He is not as coquettish and self-willed as before, nor is he as lively and bold as before. On the contrary, he has the air of a lady. Time really can change a person!

"Your Majesty, do you like this daffodil too?" Situ Yuelan asked.

"That's right! Daffodils are elegant and refined, and have always been loved by literati. I am no exception. Miss Situ also likes it?" Talking about daffodils, another woman appeared in front of Qin Moyu's eyes.

"Yeah." Situ Yuelan nodded, "My mother passed away early, and I was in poor health, so I was sent to the master's place since I was a child. Although it is very cold and quiet, there is a large area of ​​daffodils. Whenever I When I miss home, I like to go to see the daffodils, standing among the daffodils, I don’t feel lonely. That is also my happiest time.”

Being thousands of miles away from home at a young age, without the care of relatives, how difficult this kind of life is, Qin Moyu knows very well, and can't help but feel more pity for Situ Yuelan, "I can see that the general loves you very much. You won’t be lonely anymore, by the way, Miss Situ, don’t call me the emperor anymore, just call me Mo Yu like before! Just treat it as a concealment of identity for me.”

yes!I won't be alone anymore, I not only have a father and brother, but also...you!Situ Yuelan raised her head, with a bright smile on her face that she had never seen before, "Well, Huang... no, Mo Yu, don't keep calling me Miss Situ, just like before, call me Yue... Lan."

"Okay, Yue Lan," the smile on Qin Moyu's face became more and more intoxicating.

"Haha...", Situ Xiao came here at some point, "See the emperor", Situ Xiao knelt down and saluted.

"Excuse me," Qin Moyu waved his hand, "From now on, the general won't be so polite, just call me Mr. Qin, the situation is unclear now, it's not a bad thing to keep a low profile."

"It's because the old minister didn't think carefully." Situ Xiao stood up, and said to Situ Yuelan: "Lan'er, even if the emperor is your future husband, you can't always pester the emperor. The emperor takes care of everything every day, so how can I have so much time to accompany you?" You mess around.

"

"Father, my daughter understands." Situ Yuelan lowered her head, not sure if it was because of embarrassment, or to cover up her flushed cheeks.

Husband?Qin Moyu only felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he seemed to have forgotten an important thing.When he came out of the palace that day, the queen mother said that he wanted him to marry a concubine, and that person seemed to be the daughter of General Zhennan—Situ Yuelan.Damn it, how could he have forgotten such an important thing? He doesn't like Situ Yuelan at all, he just treats her as a friend, how can he marry her?If he repented of the marriage, not only would he have to endure General Situ's anger, but he would also be unable to face his own conscience.In ancient times, he knew very well what it meant for a woman to be divorced. If the marriage was divorced by the king, no one would dare to marry her. He could not harm Situ Yuelan because of his own selfishness.For a while, he didn't know what to do.

After a long time, Qin Moyu said, "General, you should go back first! I have something to discuss with Yue Lan."

"Okay." Although Situ Xiao was puzzled, he still resigned. After all, the affairs of the young couple are beyond his control. As long as his daughter is happy, he will be satisfied.

After Situ Xiao was far away, Qin Moyu dismissed the surrounding servants again, and then asked, "Yue Lan, do you have someone you like?" Qin Moyu, who was once a woman, was undoubtedly unwilling to hurt a woman. If he were to dissolve the engagement, it would be too cruel to Situ Yuelan, but it would be different if Situ Yuelan liked someone else. As long as she brought it up, he could dissolve the engagement and propose marriage for her. It is consummated, even if he loses some face, it will not be a hindrance.Only the ministers of the court knew about this marriage contract, and he was the emperor, so no ministers would dare to discuss him.

"I..." Situ Yuelan blushed and faltered for a long time without saying a word.

Qin Moyu knew that this little girl must be embarrassed, so he said softly: "Yue Lan, aren't we friends? What's there to be embarrassed about, I am an emperor even if you are not young, if you like it, I will replace it for you." You mean marriage."

like?The person I like is you!Situ Yuelan is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, she understands that Qin Moyu wants to get rid of her, no wonder, no wonder he sent his father away...

Thinking of this, Situ Yuelan felt sad, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, "Do you just... despise me so much?" Situ Yuelan's voice was very small, but the words pierced straight into a sharp knife. It touched Qin Moyu's heart.

Qin Moyu didn't know why things turned out like this, he quickly explained: "That's not the case, I didn't dislike you, I just hoped that you would live a happy life, I know that with your character, you wouldn't be willing to be bound by a permanent marriage contract, I……".

Before Qin Moyu finished speaking, Situ Yuelan interrupted, "Why don't you understand, the person I like is clearly you! Do you know that after Liuyang is gone, I think about you every day. Okay , even if you don't know, then I'll tell you now, I, Situ Yuelan likes you!" At the end, Situ Yuelan almost shouted, she was originally a cheerful person, and now she didn't want to pretend anymore She looks gentle.

"When did it start? It's obvious that I treated you that way and caused you to fall into the lake." Situ Yuelan's words were undoubtedly a thunderbolt to Qin Moyu. Why did she like him? He is obviously not good at all, yes, She must be joking, must be...

"I don't care. I've liked you since the day you made the medicine for me. If that's the case, are you still willing to marry me?" Situ Yuelan looked up at Qin Moyu with bright eyes. She needed an answer, even if it was negative......

marry?How could it be, how could he marry her if he didn't love her, after all, Qin Moyu was still a selfish person!Judging from Situ Yuelan's expression, Qin Moyu knew that she really liked him, but how should he answer?Say not to marry?He couldn't hurt a girl so bluntly.Say you're fine, but I'm not good enough for you?If he said that, Qin Moyu himself would look down on him.If not, what should he do?Say marry?He didn't want to deceive her, so Qin Moyu fell silent.

"Are you still unwilling? Yes! I should have known from the moment you avoided me, from the moment you kissed another woman, right? It was my wishful thinking, so don't be embarrassed. I will go and tell my father to release The marriage contract is all because of me and has nothing to do with you." Situ Yuelan turned and left, and the moment she turned around, she burst into tears.

Seeing the back of Situ Yuelan leaving, Qin Moyu wanted to ask to stay, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He was the one who was sorry for her, and if she made a big fuss, he might feel better, but she just No, her kindness severely satirized his selfishness. For the first time, Qin Moyu hated himself so much...
