Fingers of crossing

It was the first time in Yan Yilan's life that she missed the early court, and the palace, which was never short of excitement, exploded again.On the top, civil and military officials were discussing a lot, and on the bottom, the court ladies and eunuchs also joined in the fun.

For a time, there were constant speculations and rumors about the reason why Yan Yilan quit the court for no reason.Some people said that Yan Yilan must have suffered from a recurrence of her shoulder injury, while others said that the prince was acting as a hindrance, and there was another mystery behind it.Among the many rumors, the most reliable and also the most absurd and glamorous is undoubtedly the one about Jiang Ning's drunken residence in Fengyi Palace for a long time.

*Bitter and short days are high, and the king does not go to court early from then on.

Since ancient times, there have been many troubles for beautiful women, so many troubles.It's just that I never thought that as the majestic and majestic eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom, she not only has a man's ambition, but also a man's heart, and now she is the golden house who sings every night, and even delays the morning court.How can this be good!

Yan Yilan had naturally heard all these rumors.Jiang Ningzui silently listened to the subordinate's report, her face was as cold as ice, but Yan Yilan was so happy that she almost didn't let out a fit of laughter.

Jiang Ning gave Yan Yilan a drunken look on the toffee chair. Although she knew that Yan Yilan was not serious, she never expected her to be so casual.Now there is a lot of discussion in the court about her not going to the early court, but she still looks absent-minded, as if everything can be used as a joke, and she just laughs it off.

I wanted to say something to blame Yan Yilan for being careless at this time, but when I thought about the joy last night, I felt that no matter what I said at this time, it seemed vaguely ambiguous.It seemed to be deliberately reminding Yan Yilan how lingering they were last night.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui's heart was burning hot, she pursed her lips, and said: "The eldest princess is still in the mood to joke?"

"Otherwise, I should tell the world that my relationship with you last night was beyond control?"

Hearing Yan Yilan's shameless words, Jiang Ningzui waved away the internal officials who came to report, and then she handed Yan Yilan the warm stove in her hand. Although her tone was not kind, her movements were extremely gentle. "Nowadays everyone in the palace knows that I live in Fengyi Palace. If things go on like this, there will definitely be rumors and rumors." Ignoring Yan Yilan's banter, Jiang Ningzui shifted her gaze back to look at her, and said calmly: " I should go back to the East Palace."

Originally, the matter of Jiang Ningzui living in Fengyi Palace had been kept a secret, but now after such a word of mouth, it seems that this matter can no longer be hidden.In order not to attract people's attention, Jiang Ningzui could not stay any longer no matter what.After all, she is still a princess, even if she doesn't care about her own status, she still has to care about Yan Yilan and the eyes of others.

Jiang Ningzui was worried, how could Yan Yilan not know, she looked at Jiang Ningzui without any trace, and then said: "Everything will be decided when the prince comes."

Hearing that Yan Yilan mentioned the crown prince, Jiang Ningzui's gaze fell back on Yan Yilan again, and after a long while, she said: "The queen mother told the crown prince everything yesterday..."

"I know." Yan Yilan leaned on the toffee chair, and gently closed her phoenix eyes. She didn't know what was in her mind, but she suddenly smiled and said: "The prince will come. Wait for him to figure it out in a few days." , he will definitely come."

Maybe the prince didn't know Yan Yilan well these years, but Jiang Ningzui knew that Yan Yilan must know the prince well.After all, they are siblings of the same mother, with broken bones and tendons still connected, Jiang Ningzui has no reason to doubt Yan Yilan's decision at this moment.

It seemed to be deliberately avoiding Yan Yilan. Since Yan Yilan and Yan Junyao did not go to the court that day, Yan Junyao did not appear in the court hall for several days, citing his illness as an excuse.After several days of silence, Yan Junyao finally stepped into the gate of Fengyi Palace hesitantly as Yan Yilan expected.

The fragrance of sandalwood was lingering in the bronze crane incense burner. Yan Yilan was standing behind the bronzing tassels, her phoenix robe was as dazzling as fire.She didn't know how long she stood like this, she turned around slowly, looked at Yan Junyao who was kneeling with bowed head behind the beaded tassel curtain, her eyes were silent.

In her memory, the younger brother who always liked to follow her and call her Huangjie, is now taller than her, and his shoulders are wider than hers. She still remembers his proud and dazzling eyes, There is always a bright and handsome light shining inside.Now these eyes are fixed on the floor tiles covered with blankets, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting for punishment, he dare not raise his head to meet her gaze.

In the past few days, Yan Junyao locked himself in the house, and all the scenes of getting along with Huang Jie day and night seemed to be reversed one by one. Whenever he thought of what the queen mother said to him that day, he felt a shock and frustration in his heart, even after it passed. After so many days, the sudden realization and pain increased instead of diminished, but he couldn't make up for it except regret.

"stand up."

Stretching out her hand to brush away the golden bead curtain in front of her eyes, Yan Yilan's voice came slowly along with her steps, and within half a moment, she had already arrived in front of Yan Junyao, and whispered: "You are the future noble emperor of Yan Kingdom. , how can the knee be so weak?"

Yan Yilan said such words so naturally. Once upon a time, these were what Yan Junyao most wanted to hear, but now he just feels a pain in his heart, unspeakable bitterness, and he can't even answer half a sentence.

Seeing that Yan Junyao refused to get up, Yan Yilan didn't say any more, but walked past him to the outside of the main hall, and said softly, "You follow me."

Yan Junyao didn't understand the meaning of Yan Yilan's words, and he didn't know where he would take him, but before he could ask, Yan Yilan had already pushed open the heavy palace gate and walked out of the city gate.Yan Junyao didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't care too much, he just got up and followed Yan Yilan's figure.

When Yan Yilan stopped, the towering city wall was already in front of her eyes.Yan Yilan didn't speak, she took a step ahead and stepped up the hundred steps beside the city wall. Her pace was not fast, but every step was very steady.Yan Junyao looked at the back that was one step away in front of her. Her figure was enchanting and calm. The hem of her crimson clothes swept across the ground one after another. Her back was firm and she never looked back at him.

Yan Junyao no longer hesitated, he followed Yan Yilan to the top of the city wall.When he finally got to the top, he felt suffocated in his chest, and he couldn't help but quicken his breathing. This was the first time he walked up the city wall, so he was immediately attracted by the majestic scenery in front of him.

Yan Yilan was standing not far from Yan Junyao. The strong wind on the wall blew her scarlet clothes and ink-like hair into the air, and her slender figure almost merged with the vast world behind her. From a distance, it lost a bit of its previous momentum, and looked elegant and dusty.

Yan Junyao's chest tingled again, not because of his shortness of breath, but seeing Yan Yilan standing alone with exhaustion all over his body, his heart ached unknowingly.He wanted to approach Yan Yilan, but he was stopped by the sharp eyes in her eyes, and stood a step behind her.

"I brought you here because I want you to know that these hundreds of steps are like an ancient empire, and you have to climb up step by step by yourself. If you get it too easily, you won't understand the suffering behind it. Now that I have won the world, one day I will still lose my hand and become a sinner who has been scolded by the ages." The sharpness in Yan Yilan's eyes gradually disappeared, she turned her head to look at Yan Junyao, and said word by word: "I will not give up this throne. I simply give it to you because I want you to experience all kinds of tastes in it, so that you will know how to cherish it."

Yan Junyao's expression seemed to understand, but also seemed to not understand. What understood was Yan Yilan's good intentions, but what did not understand was Yan Yilan's intentions.If he could understand earlier, is it true that her imperial sister is still the pure and bright woman back then, and not the current eldest princess who is full of indifference and fatigue, but who is holding back her entire beauty.

"Dayan is in my hands now, sooner or later it will be yours, but if it falls into someone else's hands, it will be difficult to get it back." Yan Yilan's eyes were confused and complicated, she looked at the magnificent land under her feet. Shan He said: "When you are able to take charge of Dayan independently in the future, I will also fulfill my last wish."

The red clouds in the sky are dazzling, covering the endless mountains in the distance. Each mountain is like a solid city gate, guarding the mountains and rivers of Dayan that have been beaten by wind and rain. The smoke at the foot of the mountain is connected with the clouds. , there are countless ordinary people's houses living there, and then there are bustling and bustling streets, dense crowds of people as small as ants are scattered in every corner of the capital, these are the people of Dayan, they are endless and have nowhere to go not there.

This quiet and peaceful scene seems to be able to cover up all the cruelty of life and death. Naturally, the common people have no way of knowing the smoke and flames of war in the imperial city. The noble and royal families envied by everyone are performing bloody scenes of fighting each other every day.

Besides, this throne shouldn't be his.

Thinking about it, Yan Junyao's mind was complicated and difficult to decide. He and Yan Yilan looked at the prosperous land under their feet, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"I will be a good emperor." Yan Junyao's elegant and handsome face in the past was stained with complicated expressions. He stared blankly at the magnificent rivers and mountains in front of him, and whispered: "I will definitely be a good emperor. This time, I will not Let the queen down again."

Yan Yilan turned her head to look at Yan Junyao, with soft light flowing in her eyes, she smiled very shallowly, reached out and patted Yan Junyao's shoulder, but turned around and walked down the city wall without saying anything.

On the towering city wall, the silk belt on Yan Yilan's arm was blown all over the sky by the wind, like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying, her whole body was dazzling and enchanting like bathing in fire.If it weren't for the strong vicissitudes and burnout from her back, Yan Junyao would almost have mistakenly thought that her imperial sister would abandon the mundane past and fly to the clouds in the next second.

It's a pity that his imperial sister can no longer roam freely between the world and the earth.

"Sister Huang." Calling Yan Yilan without even thinking about it, Yan Junyao squirmed his lips and tongue a few times before asking in a low voice: "Why is that person me?" Obviously there is someone more suitable than me to be a King of Great Yan, why? , why did you pick me alone.

Yan Yilan's figure stopped on the stairs, she followed Yan Junyao's words and turned her head, her eyes seemed to have thousands of beautiful scenery, she smiled softly: "Because you will be a good king."

Because you are my most beloved younger brother, I believe that you can be a sage king respected by all people.

Yan Junyao's expression was shaken for a while, he stared at Yan Yilan for a long time, unconsciously his eyes became wet, he tried his best to suppress the strong shock in his heart, and said: "Don't you want anything, Miss Huang?"

Today, he finally understands that he owes his imperial sister so much that every time he thinks about it, his heart will be filled with regret.He really wanted to do something for her, this idea came so late, but it doesn't matter, the days are long, and he still has a lot of time to make up for.

Yan Yilan followed Yan Junyao's words and thought for a while, but she didn't know what she thought of. Her brows and eyes were raised slightly, and there was a real smile in her eyes.

"The queen mother has been arranging for the new draft daughter for the prince these few days. The prince's offspring are few and far between. It's time to spread out." Yan Yilan said, with a faintly seductive look in her eyes, "If you meet someone with a bad character Those who are outstanding in elegance, choose a time to depose Ning Zui."
