[White hair] Jiangshan beauty

Time flies, and at the flick of a finger, it's time to get married.

The day before the long trip, Rong Qi accompanied Qin Man for dinner, and Qin Man pestered him during the dinner, so he agreed to accompany her to bed.

"Rong Le," Rong Qi took out a wooden box and opened it with his own hands, "Brother Huang has a gift for you."

Inside the box was a wooden idol of a woman, with cloudy temple hair, elegant clothes, and lifelike eyebrows.

"In the past, Brother Huang promised that every year on your birthday, I would give you a puppet carved by Brother Huang." Rong Qi smiled with nostalgia, "It's a pity that Brother Huang can't be on your birthday this year." I have no choice but to give you a gift in advance."

"Is it me that brother Huang carved?" The princess held the puppet, her face glowing with joy.

"Do you like it?" Rong Qi smiled slightly, and tapped the puppet's face lightly.

"So I am like this in the eyes of the emperor?" The princess looked at it carefully, nodded and said seriously, "It's kind of cute."

Rong Qi smiled, but did not answer.

【What's this?Is it me? 】

【Like it? 】

【Not quite like...】

【……Yeah……】

[Hey, but I don't blame you, after all, this girl is naturally beautiful and it's hard to draw a picture.It is said that hard work can make up for weakness, you still need a lot of practice!Carve one for me on your birthday every year in the future. If you want to practice until we are [-] or [-], you can carve a bit of spirit. 】

【……it is good. 】

He promised to give her a puppet every year, and he doesn't know if he can send it out again in the future.

"But, I didn't even prepare a gift for Brother Huang. When is Brother Huang's birthday?" Qin Man tilted his head, his eyes looked like stars under the lights.

"It's June [-]th. By then, you should have arrived in the north." Rong Qi's brows were gentle, he smiled slightly, and reached out to stroke her hair, "Rong Le doesn't need to prepare any gifts, you arrived smoothly and safely To the north, it is the best birthday gift for the emperor."

"How can that be possible?" the princess turned her eyes, "...brother, wait for me."

She opened the small suitcase she was going to take with her and rummaged for a while.

"Here," the princess said with a smile, "This is for Brother Huang, it can be regarded as an early birthday present."

Rong Qi knew what was inside.

It was the marigolds and dried pears they dried together, and she said she wanted to take them on the road, "It's better not to..."

Qin Man pressed his hand with a smile, "Tea tea has antidote properties. If Brother Huang wants to drink tea, he can try this instead. It's also a different taste. I don't know if Brother Huang likes it or not?"

"No matter what Rong Le gives the emperor, the emperor will like it." Rong Qi smiled and said softly.

Time flies and it is time to hold the lamp.

Qin Man held out the "Book of Songs" copied by Rong Qi, and begged him to read the poems to her, "I will take this book with me too, please read it to me one last time, Brother Huang."

When Rong Qi picked up the book, he realized for a moment that because she liked the Book of Songs, he copied it and gave it to her. The excerpts were all poems about love and love. He hoped that she would think of him every time she held it in her hand and read it.

These chapters, when he was alone with her, he recited to her page by page in her ear, but now...

the last time……

"Okay, which one does Rong Le want to hear?" Rong Qi covered his thoughts, cheered up and asked with a smile.

Qin Man was already prepared, reached out to turn a page, and handed it to him, "Read this!"

—— "Beifeng Drumming"

Rong Qi's heart trembled slightly, but it happened to be "Drumming".

This piece is not so much liked by Man'er, but rather by him. The poem is filled with his sincere expectations and unspeakable worries.

This poem is unlucky in this situation.

Rong Qi raised his eyes and smiled softly at Qin Man, his gray eyes were covered with mist, "You are going to get married tomorrow, how about Brother Huang reading Taoyao for you?"

"Not good!" The princess shook her head domineeringly and refused, "I want this one!"

Then, she bent down again, leaned on Rong Qi's shoulder, and begged softly, "I must have liked this article very much in the past, and the margins are all wrinkled, so why don't you read this article to me, Brother Huang? I'm leaving now, I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other, but Brother Huang just obey me once."

"Okay," Rong Qi sighed softly, hooked the corners of his lips to her bright smiling face, looked down at the book and recited softly:

"Beating the drums and boring them, and actively employing troops. I travel south alone in the city of Tuguo.

……

"Would you like to live in a place? Would you like to lose your horse? To seek it? Under the forest.

He stopped, took a breath, and slowly read the following sentence——

"Death and life are inseparable, talk to Zi Cheng. Hold your hand, and grow old together with Zi.

……

……

[Death and life are in agreement with each other, talk to Zicheng, hold your hand, and grow old together. 】

He once held her in his arms, held her catkin in his hand, and whispered in her ear.

It was the most beautiful sentence he had ever seen.

however--

[Yu sighs broadly, but does not live with me.Yu Xi Xun Xi, do not believe me. 】

He knew in his heart that in his short life, this would never be possible.

"It's so nice. I don't know, did the last soldier finally go home?" The princess's soft voice brought Rong Qi back to his senses, "Brother Huang, the last soldier must have gone home, right? His promise has been fulfilled. Just like me, I will definitely bring "Shan He Zhi" back to the emperor's side."

She lay down on Rong Qi's lap.

Rong Qi gently stroked her hair, gazed at her beautiful face suddenly radiant under the light, and barely raised his lips, "Yes, she... must have returned home in the end."

……

Will she really come home?

The morning light shone through the window lattice on the princess' gorgeous wedding dress. The phoenix embroidered with gold thread spread its wings and was unparalleled in the world.

Qihuang took the red veil from his servant and covered it with the princess' delicate phoenix crown.

The princess showed a bright smile, and the veil slowly fell, covering her beautiful face with full makeup.

"Your Majesty has a decree. My eldest princess is Rong Le, graceful and pure, gentle and good-natured, just at the age of marriage; Li Wang Zongzheng Wuyou to the north, dragon and phoenix, outstanding in intelligence, can be a good match, please make a marriage contract and form a good relationship .May Daqi and Beilin have a good relationship forever and write good stories together—”

Amid the sound of ceremony and music, Rong Qi took Qin Man along and sent her all the way to the capital.

"Farewell to each other for thousands of miles, we must say goodbye at the end, Brother Huang, let's go here." The barrier of the veil made the princess's voice slightly different from usual, it was flat and indifferent.

Rong Qi pursed his lips, and called Xiao Cha, the commander of the imperial guards, "From today onwards, you will be the princess's personal bodyguard, obey her orders and protect her well."

Xiao Sha knelt on the ground in response, and the armor made a blunt sound... "This subordinate swears to protect the princess to the death!"

He is a young man with dark complexion, lean figure and sharp eyes. He has a square face, a straight nose bridge, and a broad forehead, showing a loyal and brave spirit.

Qin Man knew that he was Rong Qi's confidant, and they were escorts with Rong Qi when they went out of the palace to play.

"Rong Le," Rong Qi put a dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand, "This is the jade pendant I've been wearing since I was a child. You take it with you and let it protect you for me."

"Okay." Qin Man replied softly.

"Rongle..."

Thousands of words, thousands of turns, he has a lot to say, but in the end there is nothing to say.

Rong Qi sighed softly, but finally couldn't help it, he took a step forward and hugged her lightly.

"Brother Huang, do you trust me?" Qin Man suddenly whispered in his ear.

what……?

Before Rong Qi came back to his senses, Qin Man withdrew from his embrace and took a step back.

She knelt down on both knees, raised her forehead with her hands, and knelt down to bow, "Rong Le bid farewell to all ministers, imperial brother, and Xiqi.

"May all your servants work together with one heart, loyalty and wisdom--

"May the people of Xiqi live in peace and the fortune of the country prosper——

"May the emperor be in good health and live a long life——

"Don't let it go."

The princess's voice is not high, but it seems to be able to spread thousands of miles.

After the ceremony, she stood up, and without waiting for the maid to help her, she stepped into the car neatly.

Man'er...Rong Qi wanted to keep her, but...

Standing high in front of the car, Qin Man seemed to be looking around at his homeland for the last time. The bright red gauze skirt of the wedding dress was blown by the wind. His magnificent figure left a mark on many people's hearts.

"Let's go." The princess knocked on the carriage, and the carriage decorated with red silk moved slowly.

Rong Qi stood in front of the palace gate, sending the carriage far away.

For a moment, he even wanted to catch up and stop the carriage, or learn from the storybook, snatch the bride out of the carriage and take her away.

But in the end he did nothing but watch her frame disappear from sight.

At night, Rong Qi was alone in the bedroom, and opened the box Qin Man gave him.On the upper layer of the box, there are piles of dried marigolds and pear slices, exuding a faint fragrance.

He took out these carefully one by one, and there was a light pink peony-like sachet under the box.

He closed his eyes, took a slow breath, and mustered up the courage to open the sachet——

A piece of paper was entangled with a strand of black thread, and fell on the table.

"Jong Qi, do you believe me?"

【Brother Huang, do you trust me? 】

——Death and life are in harmony, talk to Zicheng, hold your hand, and grow old together.
