right after

Today is the Qixi Festival. After the morning court, Li Junye, Yan Zijin and other young people took leave one after another, busy dating beauties, and the palace was unusually deserted.

The twilight faded away, and the last ray of slanting light shone on the Tai Chi Hall. On the glittering glazed tiles, it was the magnificent palace, retaining that touch of brilliance.

The setting sun didn't stay for long, and the sight in the Tai Chi side hall quickly dimmed, and a group of maids entered one after another and began to light the lamps.

Xiao Jingyu put down the vermilion pen, stopped to review the memorial, stood up and stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones that hadn't moved all day, turned his head and asked, "What time is it now?"

The lady in charge of the lamp replied respectfully: "When I first entered the application, did the emperor want to eat in advance?"

Xiao Jingyu shook his head, thinking that today is Qixi Festival, so he replied: "You tell the queen that I will have dinner with her tonight."

"Yes." The court lady retreated slowly, her pink and white skirt moving gracefully.

Xiao Jingyu's resentment from last night has gradually subsided until tonight, thinking that one queen has already been abducted by others, it would be better not to leave the other queen alone, just taking this opportunity to break the ice and reconcile with Mo Xiangli.

However, this beautiful fantasy was soon shattered by reality, and the palace official who held the lantern came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the empress has already left the palace with her female official Hua Xihuan to enjoy the lantern."

Xiao Jingyu frowned, his phoenix eyes were majestic, and he asked with some displeasure: "Who approved her leave of leaving the palace?"

"Your majesty, didn't you personally approve it this morning?" The female officer shrank her neck and replied.

It seems... there is such a regret!

There are too many leave notes approved today, and he can't remember clearly.

"Go down." Xiao Jingyu was a little depressed, rubbing the center of his brows with a headache.

He drove away all the concubines and concubines in the huge palace, and even Gao Sheng, a close confidant around him, hunted them down but failed to return.

Xiao Jingyu was not in the mood to eat alone, with a look of loneliness on his brows, he ordered: "Forget it, I will leave the palace later, so don't prepare any more."

At the beginning of the setting sun, the lanterns on the market have been slowly lit up.

He was dressed in white, with black hair and shawls, and his handsome figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

"Sir!" Hua Xihuan sneaked up to Li Junye's back and slapped his back to threaten him.

"Hehe, you're here." Li Junye was not frightened by her, he turned around first, his cold eyes lit up with a hint of joy, and he touched her hair affectionately and said.

Hua Xihuan changed her palace clothes today and wore a green floral skirt with a small orange flower in her hair, which made her look beautiful.

Hua Xihuan put down her fingers resentfully, and muttered in disappointment: "Why? I can't scare you every time."

"Because I recognize your footsteps." As soon as Li Junye finished speaking, another crisp male voice sounded not far away: "Sir, you can hear my footsteps."

Li Junye looked over after hearing the reputation, and there was a fair-skinned, handsome, slender and tall young man standing three steps away. His appearance was very familiar.

Li Junye fixed his eyes and carefully identified it for a while, and then vaguely recognized this person as Mo Xiangli from his delicate eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help being shocked, her men's clothing was so fake that it was fake.

"Hehe, sir, don't you recognize me?" Mo Xiangli approached lightly, fanning his folding fan, and joked with a smile.

"I almost didn't recognize Mr. Mo." Li Junye withdrew his hand and smiled in surprise.

"Sir, Xiangli is not in a good mood recently, so I asked her out together, don't you mind?" Hua Xihuan held his arm familiarly and asked with her head raised.

Li Junye hooked her upturned nose, and said with a wide smile helplessly: "Of course I don't mind, you haven't eaten yet, I'll order a table of food for you, go upstairs."

"Xi Huan, come here." Mo Xiangli frowned slightly when he saw that they were behaving intimately, and stretched out his slender fingers and called out in displeasure.

Mo Xiangli happily let go of Li Junye, and walked over to hold Mo Xiangli's hand crisply. Li Junye's fingers caressing her hair quietly disappeared, and he twirled his fingers in embarrassment.

Mo Xiangli took the initiative to insert her finger between Hua Xihuan's, and held it tightly in her hand. A trace of complacency flashed in her eyes as she looked at Li Junye, and she pulled Xihuan into the restaurant with a smile.

Li Junye followed them and looked at them, they seemed like a pair of affectionate couples, a little weirdness arose in their hearts.Immediately, he was amused by the idea.

Li Junye took them upstairs, beckoned and called the waiter, flipped through the menu, and asked them carefully what they wanted to eat.

Mo Xiangli shook her head. Recently, she has been pent up in her heart and has no appetite.However, she also gradually realized that perhaps Xiao Jingyu was not the real person she could trust.

Hua Xihuan ordered two, and Mo Xiangli liked the food.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and the meal was quite harmonious. Of course, part of this harmony did not include Mo Xiangli.

She watched Hua Xihuan happily tell Li Junye about the things around her. Li Junye smiled kindly and dotingly, and couldn't eat anymore.

My brother abandoned her, Xiao Jingyu abandoned her, so is Xihuan also abandoning her?Mo Xiangli felt bitterness in his heart, and his mood became more and more depressed.

She looked down at the crowded street, and as she came and went, her eyes suddenly squeezed into a figure that should not belong here.

The Jinyiwei led by Gao Sheng viciously searched across the stream of people one after the other.

Mo Xiangli's expression changed suddenly, he put down the cup in his hand instantly, lifted the hem of his clothes, opened the car door under the surprised eyes of the two, left the excuse of going to the toilet behind his buttocks, and ran off in a hurry building.

"Chasing, she's right in front." Gao Sheng used a scabbard to separate them, and the hateful flow of people, thinking of that cunning woman, unexpectedly broke the wings of several of his subordinates, made his complexion even more ugly.

"She, in front..."

Han Hongxiu covered her arms, looked back at Muyun's minions who were chasing after five steps away, licked her dry and peeling lips, and her steps became more and more hurried.

The night before, she and Ye Hehua ambushed in the middle of the road, and the two were forced to deviate from the escape route, and they tried their best to break out of the encirclement.

Ye Hehua let her run first to delay the time, and stayed to fight against the enemy, waiting for the rescue of the Lord, now I don't know what happened to the silly boy, fools have foolish blessings, I believe he should be alive.

Hongxiu could only comfort herself in this way.

"Hmm..." Hong Xiu was thinking in a daze when she was suddenly dragged into the alley by an unknown force.

"Shh, it's me, don't talk!" Mo Xiangli pressed her struggling body tightly, but the woman refused to cooperate.

"Hmm..." Han Hongxiu was suddenly stripped of his shirt by the man in front of him, revealing his white and round shoulders.

Her eyes widened in shock, she was stunned for a few seconds, subconsciously bent her legs and was about to attack, when suddenly the sound of footsteps outside was getting closer.

"Boy, did you see a woman in a purple dress running over?"

The group of eunuchs saw a wall in front of them and a dark alley next to them, and they were about to go in to investigate, but they saw a pair of dewy mandarin ducks mating shamelessly in the dark alley, so they stopped in embarrassment and raised their voices outside the alley asked aloud.

"I didn't notice, it seems to have climbed over the wall." Without raising his head, Mo Xiangli grabbed the back of the woman's head, forced them to kiss, and rubbed her soft roundness in full view.

"Let's go!" The eunuchs came in a hurry and hurried over the wall to leave.

"Bastard!" Han Hongxiu and the others left, gave Mo Xiangli a big cake, pulled up his clothes and cursed angrily.

"Hiss..., you're like tearing down bridges. If it wasn't for my brother's sake, I wouldn't bother to save you." Mo Xiangli covered his numbed face, stared at this ferocious woman, and cursed back angrily.

"It's you." Hongxiu finally recognized her when she heard her restored voice this time.

"Where's my brother?" The biggest reason why Mo Xiangli was willing to save her was to find out about Han Qing.

"Master went deep into Muyun to save you time and time again, but you joined forces with the emperor to hurt him a lot, and you still have the face to ask me!" Hongxiu pulled up his clothes, looked at each other coldly, and felt deeply resentful for Han Qing in his heart.

"I didn't know that Jing Yu would be unfaithful to my brother. I didn't protect him well." Mo Xiangli's pale pupils revealed deep pain and self-blame.

Han Qing is the white moonlight in her heart, why did Jing Yu get involved with the most sacred and important person in her heart, this thorn pierced her heart deeply, and made her insomnia in pain every night.

"I'm not a master, so I won't listen to your explanation." Hongxiu glanced at the direction where the eunuch was leaving, and said coldly.

"To be honest, I don't think you are worthy of the Lord at all, but I am very jealous of the position you occupy in his heart." Hongxiu touched the dagger at his waist, and his tender eyes turned into the most piercing ice at this moment.

Mo Xiang was startled in his heart, is she not good enough for his brother, endless sadness welled up in his heart.

In my memory, in the midsummer of that year, my brother who joined the army was carrying a heavy burden, bent down, touched her face, and told her with a smile like a flower: "Wait for my brother to come back alive to marry you."

Since she was a child, she has been following behind him, always clamoring to marry him when she grows up.

It's a pity that, in a twist of fate, it was she who personally extinguished this dream bubble and fell into the arms of another man, a shameful exchange of empathy for love, so she was not qualified to fulfill her promise to her brother.

Xiao Jingyu's betrayal of her now is not God's retribution for her.

The expression on Mo Xiangli's face was really too painful, Hongxiu's tone softened a little, and he continued, "I just think I'm too stupid, he died almost all of his life on the battlefield just to marry you with glory and wealth.

Back then, he rescued me in the army, and I wanted to repay with my own body, but he rejected me and said your agreement.

That time, if he hadn’t returned to his hometown and saw his godmother buried in the loess, his beloved sister’s life and death were unknown, and he got drunk and touched me to become her woman. beside him.

do you know?Even if he accepts me, the person he talks about most often is you, and he often shares with me stories about your past.

Which woman would not be jealous, her man is thinking of other women.I'm glad you don't fall in love with me, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to have him. "

What Hongxiu said made Mo Xiangli feel very mixed. She kept moving forward to let herself ignore the feelings buried in her youth, but she was always stirred up by his every move.

That elder brother who belonged to her alone was taken away by others, so she felt uncomfortable, so she could only comfort herself and pretend to be generous.

Hongxiu saw the remorse on her face, the corners of her mouth curled up triumphantly, and she walked away in a cool and unrestrained pace, let her regret it.

"Where are you going?" Mo Xiangli looked at her stepping into the crowd, and asked with concern while standing still.

"Don't care about your business..." Hongxiu walked quickly, and before leaving the words, the person had disappeared into the crowd.

Mo Xiangli stared blankly at the moving crowd, the disappearing figure.She appeared suddenly, bringing with her a fleeting fragment of the time when her brother was separated, and in an instant, she disappeared again, like a dream.

Brother, are you okay?

Mo Xiangli looked at the night sky, the bright moon was reflected in those clear eyes, and said silently from the bottom of his heart.
