The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

The night is like strands of ink melting away, and half of the sky is darkened.The half-curved crescent moon faintly climbed up from the depths of the eastern sky and hovered over the treetops.

Not long after Bai Yu lay down, still in a hazy state of sleep, Qiu Ye knocked on the door lightly outside, and asked in a low voice, "Is Your Highness asleep?"

Bai Yu kicked his legs irritably, rubbed his eyes, and Pi Yi got up and went to open the door, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Ye said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the general is seeking to see you outside."

Bai Yu snorted softly, and said, "I already said to thank guests behind closed doors today."

"Yes, this subordinate also told the general, but the general waited outside the door for a long time and refused to leave."

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and most of her anger disappeared in an instant.That's right, Yan Xun can't be blamed for this matter, he is a courtier, if the princess gives him something, he can't refuse it.If he had been interested in Princess Zhaoning, he would have been a son-in-law when the Empress Dowager gave her the marriage, so why wait until now.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu felt a lot of relief in his heart, but he still grumbled angrily and refused to give in, "Then I will forcefully see him."

When he really saw Yan Xun, Bai Yu couldn't get angry at all, and took Yan Xun's arm, bouncing around like a little bastard having fun.

"Why don't you see me?" Yan Xun asked him.

Bai Yu pouted, and pushed him on the chair unwillingly to sit down, "You still have the nerve to ask me why? What did Princess Zhaoning give you? Do you still like it?"

When Yan Xun heard him mention this matter, the expression on his face froze for a moment.

Bai Yu picked up the book next to it, slapped it on the table again, and said angrily, "You really like it?!"

Yan Xun got up suddenly, startling Bai Yu.

"what happened?"

He walked to the window, closed the window, pulled Bai Yu to his side, said softly but seriously, "I want to tell you something now, you must not tell anyone."

Bai Yu nodded blankly.

Early the next morning, the kitchen prepared breakfast according to the time, and the table was filled with ten dishes and four desserts.Bai Yu went to the main room and invited him out, and sat down at the same table with Yan Xun.

When he was watching Yan Xun coming up, he respectfully saluted Yan Xun to meet his elders, he was a little surprised at first, and then accepted it with a smile, "General, you don't need to be too polite, just be casual."

Yan Xundao: "Since Master said to be more casual, don't call me General."

Bai Yu also said: "He will call you Master after me, and Master will call him Yan Xun after me."

Cuizheng glanced at Bai Yu with a slight reproach, "After all, he is also older than you, and he saved our lives back then, why did you just call him by his first name?"

Just as Bai Yu was about to explain, he suddenly froze, "What?"

Yan Xun smiled and said, "Master still remembers the past."

Qianzheng nodded, full of emotion, "Naturally, the grace of saving lives cannot be forgotten. Eight years ago when we were in Zhouji, we were falsely accused of stealing, arrested by the county magistrate and about to be executed. It was the general who saved us. If I I remember correctly, the general left a pure gold tiger head belt buckle at that time. After you left, the county magistrate went to the posthouse to return the ingot of gold in person, and handed the belt buckle to me, saying that he could not find it. You don’t dare to dispose of it casually——I later gave Li Guang the belt buckle, and he kept it safe.”

Yan Xun said "Oh", glanced at Bai Yu, with a look of joy in his brows, and said, "Really?"

Thinking of the belt buckle that he had cherished for many years, Bai Yu was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and did not answer him, but instead said: "I heard Shilang Yan talk about the past, but he never mentioned this. If there is no belt buckle, I will I don't even know that you saved me."

Yan Xun nodded hastily, and said reluctantly: "You really keep my belt buckle? It has my surname engraved on the back, and it's an accessory on the general's armor, so I'm the only one who has it for the whole week. Then you know it's mine, don't you?"

Bai Yu looked at Shang Yu clearly and teasingly, her cheeks were slightly hot, and she glared at Yan Xun, "Can you shut up?"

Yan Xun found a bargain, and said happily: "It turns out that someone who had never met me when he was eight years old had a deep-seated love for me. He has cherished my belt buckle for many years, and I don't know how many times he took it out in a place where no one was around. What? Oh, I don’t even know, it’s really..."

Bai Yu was caught off guard by being exposed, her face flushed red, angry and funny, she kicked Yan Xun under the table, "Shame on you!"

Although he was extremely ashamed by being teased, Bai Yu was delighted to find that Yan Xun, who took off his armor and stayed away from the battlefield, was really not the General Yan who refused people for thousands of miles.He is actually warm, full of human fireworks...and a little annoying.

Kui Zheng didn't seem to have seen all this, and drank the purple ginseng snow chicken soup in the bowl, "Well, this soup is very fresh, you should try it." He said to Yan Xun again: "I usually like The food is light, but Li Guang likes spicy food, but I always don't let him eat too greasy for breakfast. I don't know if it suits the general's taste."

Yan Xundao: "Coincidentally, I don't like spicy food very much, it's fine to eat a little bit, my stomach hurts if I eat too much."

"The food in the military camp is very... Anyway, it's better to put some chili peppers in it." Bai Yu glanced at Yan Xun and asked indifferently, "Which dish do you like best?"

Yan Xun knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Pumpkin pie is delicious."

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly.

Li Zheng looked at Yan Xun with a smile on his face, "Our Li Guang is a child who values ​​affection. Since he chose you, he must have made up his mind, so no matter what, I will support all his decisions. The two of you are very special. It's special, the road ahead may not be easy, but I hope to see your determination and bravery, and don't let down this fate."

Yan Xun solemnly agreed, Bai Yu's nose was sour, and she was moved: "I was a little worried at first, afraid that Master would not agree."

Kui Zheng held a ray of melancholy that seemed to be joyful or sad, looked at the distant sky in a trance, sighed wistfully, and said: "It is such a rare thing that two people can truly love each other and know each other and stay together. Not everyone has it." Such a blessing. Cherish the blessing."

Yan Xun and Bai Yu looked at each other and smiled, and held hands under the table. The flame of love burned even hotter, but the two hearts became more at ease and calm.

For the next dozen or so days, Bai Yu stayed behind closed doors in the palace, concentrating on crafting his birthday gift for the emperor.On the other side, in the Yan Mansion, Yan Fu, the daughter of Yan's patriarch, took her two daughters back to Ning to visit her relatives. Her husband, Yu Ze, was an envoy sent by Weiyan to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and happened to accompany his wife back to her natal home.

Yan Fu looks very much like Princess Chunyi, with a slender and tall stature, gentle and upright temperament.She has a pair of twin daughters who are twenty-eight years old.These two girls are at their best age, they look charming, bright and lively, their bodies are mixed with the advantages of children and girls, and they are like two uncut rubies.

As soon as they came, they saw Wanwan right away, the three little girls had a fierce fight and clamored to go to the street together.

Yan Fu asked the maids and guards to follow closely, stood at the door and watched her daughter's back from a distance, until she could no longer see her, then came back and sat down reluctantly.

Princess Chunyi laughed and said: "Look at you, you are really a mother. You are all focused on the child, and even I can't see it."

Yan Fu couldn't help laughing, "My daughter has grown up, but my mother has become a child, and she still eats her granddaughter's jealousy." She thought and sighed again, "My daughter hurt her body when she gave birth, and she can't have children. There are only their two children. Mother, our Yan family can't have no successors, even the third brother, when will the second brother's marriage be settled?"

Princess Chunyi thought about it and said: "It should be soon, your father and I are also helping to see which girl is suitable. A while ago, the queen and the noble concubine were thinking about it, saying that Shen Xiang's niece is very good. After all, you two With such good conditions, brother, are you afraid that you won't find a good wife?"

Yan Fu smiled and said: "What mother said is that the second brother is a phoenix in the world and an eagle in the Taige. By the way, mother, both Ruyi and Ruyi have reached the age for betrothing others. When my daughter comes back this time, I still want to give them a gift. Watch out for your in-laws."

The sky was blue and the sun was golden. The three girls wandered from Beishi to Nanshi.Yu Ruyi likes to buy clothes, Yu Ruyuan likes to buy jewelry, Wanwan likes to buy delicious food, and the maids who follow behind carry a lot of them, and the aunts and grandma seem to be enjoying themselves, rubbing their waists and getting into the carriage.

Yu Ruyi suddenly stopped holding the hand of the maid, and stared blankly into the distance.Yu Ruyuan couldn't help wondering: "Sister, what are you looking at?"

Wanwan also followed her gaze, suddenly jumped excitedly, and ran in that direction.

Bai Yu was almost ready for the emperor's birthday gift, and there was almost something left. He went to the street today to buy something, but his sleeves were suddenly pulled. He looked down and said pleasantly, "Wanwan? You also come out to play?"

Wanwan pulled him to keep laughing.It's been half a month since we saw each other, and Bai Yu also missed this little sister, so he knelt down to talk to her softly.

The white jade has a bright figure like the scorching sun in summer, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and a face like a crown jade.Yu Ruyi lowered her face slowly, and two pink flowers gradually appeared on her cheeks, as if a few strands of concern had been added to her heart.

The twins probably felt something, Yu Ruyuan looked at her sister's shy look, and immediately said: "Sister, it seems that I know that young master late at night, I'll go and find out for you!"

When talking about this matter at dinner, Yu Ruyi blushed again, but Yu Ruyuan was very proud, "My sister was shy at the time, if I hadn't asked, my sister wouldn't even know who she is!"

Yan Fu said "Ouch", and looked at Yu Ruyuan with a bit of blame, "Girl, why are you so shameless, and even ran to ask!"

Yu Ruyuan pouted and said, "I'm asking for my sister!"

Yu Ze was open-minded, he smiled and stroked his daughter's head, "Then what did you ask? Who is that son?"

When Yan Xun just heard that Wan Wan ran over happily, he felt a little uneasy, and as expected, Yu said as he wished: "He is the King of Liang! Mother, the King of Liang! The emperor only has such a younger brother, who is very good-looking. Sister's eyes That's great."

Yan Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he met the joyful eyes of his father, sister and brother-in-law in a daze.

Yan Fu thought for a while, and said to Yan Jun: "Father, I heard that King Liang is not married yet, and his age matches Ruyi's. Although King Liang has not yet reached the age of coronation, it can be settled first. How about you Mention it to the emperor tomorrow?"

Yan Xun was still listening dumbfounded, but when he saw that Yan Jun was about to nod, he blurted out, "Father!"

Yan Jun turned to look at him, "Huh?"

After Yan Xun called out, he had nothing to say, and looked at Princess Chunyi as if asking for help, and called weakly: "Mother..."

Princess Chunyi didn't know about his relationship with Bai Yu, but she knew that Yan Zun liked Bai Yu. At this time, she was also a little embarrassed, because it was not easy to reveal their private affairs, so she said: "You guys are serious, there is no such thing as a marriage. Are you in a hurry? Ruyi saw King Liang for the first time today, and she was anxious to say goodbye, as if we Ruyi would not be able to get married. There are so many good men in the world, so there is no rush to look again, and say no Which one is more suitable for your eyes?"

Yan Jun nodded and said: "Ma'am is right, this matter really cannot be rushed."

Yu Ruyi replied with some disappointment, "...Yes."

Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, but when he met Princess Shangchunyi's smiling eyes, he was startled and looked away guiltily.
