Fingers of crossing

Yang Xuanlin will always remember the scene of meeting Yan Yilan for the first time.

It was late autumn eight years ago, Yan State was weak, lost to Sui State and repeatedly invaded, in desperation, he had to turn to Yang State, who had always coveted Sui State, for help.

Not long after Yang Xuanlin succeeded to the throne, as the monarch of the Yang Kingdom, he was inevitably young and vigorous, and did not take Yan Guo seriously.When King Yan led his ministers to Yangguo, although Yang Xuanlin hosted a banquet, his heart was full of contempt and disdain. He was well aware of the intention of King Yan's visit.

In a crumbling country, a fatuous and incompetent monarch, what else can he do other than relying on others?

King Yan slowly walked into the hall with his most beloved princess, and seemed to notice a trace of surprise in the eyes of the ministers, so Yang Xuanlin raised his head with interest and looked towards the center of the hall.

That was the first time he saw Yan Yilan. On that day, her phoenix clothes were swaying on the ground, her crimson clothes were scorching, and her childish face was still beautiful and flawless.Her phoenix eyes were lightly raised, and she swept across the ministers seated without timidity, and finally her eyes fell on him. With a faint smile on her bright and charming face, the thousands of maple leaves that were as bright as fire outside the palace suddenly disappeared. up the color.

Silently watching Yan Yilan sit down gracefully, Yang Xuanlin somehow came up with the four words Fenghua Peerless in his mind.He thought that the word might have been used to describe her in the first place.Bowing his head and gulping down the wine in the luminous glass, Yang Xuanlin suddenly felt a little drunk, but he didn't know whether it was the wine or the people that made him intoxicated.

At the banquet that night, Yang Xuanlin only remembered Yan Yilan's name.Princess Yan - Fengyi.

During those days when King Yan was in Yang Kingdom, Yang Xuanlin had always been neither cold nor indifferent towards King Yan. Although he never nodded and agreed to Yan Kingdom's alliance agreement, he did not say anything to send King Yan and his party to leave Yang Kingdom.Ten days later, King Yan saw that there was no hope of establishing a relationship, so he had no choice but to give up his thoughts and prepared to leave for Dayan, but Yang Xuanlin unexpectedly went to see him off for the first time.

Outside the city gate, Yang Xuanlin, Yang Xuanlin, the king of Yang Kingdom who has always been very deep in the city and never showed his anger, suddenly rode his bloody BMW and galloped all the way from the palace, carrying Princess Yan Fengyi in his arms. , flew on the horse, and walked away.

A howling wind brushed against her ears and cheeks, Yan Yilan squinted her eyes slightly in the wind, looking sideways at Yang Xuanlin with hot and blurred eyes.Yang Xuanlin covered her ears, sniffing the fragrance of Yan Yilan's hair greedily with the tip of her nose, and said in a voice as hot as iron, "Feng Yi, be the princess of the lonely king. When the lonely king pacifies the world in the future, I must make your mother honor the world..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Yilan's cold and displeased eyes interrupted him, with a sweet smile on her lips, she said: "I only want to be my own king".After all, she didn't know when she touched Yang Xuanlin's icy long sword tied to the horse with her backhand, and put it straight on Yang Xuanlin's neck. Maybe she never thought that a woman would be so bold and decisive, Yang Xuanlin just frowned Looking at her crisp and cold movements, she forgot to dodge.The cold light reflected her scorching face, reflecting a cold and bloodthirsty light. "So, put me down."

It was the first time for Yang Xuanlin that someone dared to defy and reject him like this, what's more, that person was still a girl.He never knew that there would be such a bold woman in this world, nor did he know that he would be in awe of a woman.

She said she was only her own king.

It was also many years later that he realized that it was not just a joke of rejection.She really held up half of Dayan's sky by herself, no matter how people in the world commented on her, in Yang Xuanlin's heart, she couldn't help being even more infatuated with her.Yan Yilan's temper is too strong, it is doomed that she will never be anyone's accessory in her whole life.

Therefore, he never forced Yan Yilan again. If a woman like Yan Yilan used coercive means to force her to compromise, it would be a pity. Even if she got it, it would be an insult to both of them.Anyway, he had enough patience and strength, he thought, one day, he would let Yan Yilan marry him willingly.

And his queen position has been vacant for the past eight years.His queen is not worthy of anyone except Yan Yilan.

Pulling back from the memory, Yang Xuanlin looked down at Yan Yilan who had been silent all this time, a faint smile appeared on his usually austere and calm face, and he said, "Why, you still refuse to get on the lonely king's horse?"

"If I don't want to, you want to force me to mount a horse again?"

Laughing at Yang Xuanlin's words, Yan Yilan leaned on the horse, looked up at Yang Xuanlin with a smirk, even if she was standing in a low place, she was like standing on the top of mountains, with a look of disdain for the world in her eyes, Not inferior to Yang Xuanlin on horseback.

The woman he loved so much became more and more awe-inspiring.

Yang Xuanlin was thinking, and when she heard Yan Yilan's teasing words, there was no polite respect for the monarchs of other countries in her tone, but a vague taunt, Yang Xuanlin didn't blame her for being rude and offensive , but laughed loudly, his handsome brows stretched out, his threatening aura faded a bit, and his complexion was as gentle as jade.

"The king is messing around again."

Jiang Ningzui looked at the person in front of her who was tilting her head to observe Yan Yilan's situation quietly. While looking at it, she complained in a low voice unconsciously, she was clearly talking about the monarch above ten thousand people in the Yang Kingdom, but her smile But they are familiar and intimate, with innate dignity and calmness in every frown and smile.

This made Jiang Ningzui even more curious about her identity.She claimed to be her elder sister in front of Jiang Ningzui, but Jiang Ningzui clearly remembered that the elder sister of the crown princess had died four years ago.

"The Queen."

Jiang Ningzui was hesitant and puzzled, when she suddenly saw Yan Junyao coming out from behind her, and while speaking, she smiled and bowed to the man, saying, "Or should we call sister Huang Princess Jing instead?"

"I haven't seen you for a year, but you have learned to make fun of your sister?"

Queen?Princess Jing?

Jiang Ningzui suddenly remembered that she had heard Yan Yilan mention this person before, and her words were kind. She vaguely remembered that Yan Yilan said that Princess Jing married from Yan Guoyuan to Yang State, and now she heard Yan Junyao like this He said, then this Concubine Jing must have married as Princess Yan.

No wonder, when Yan Yilan and Yan Junyao talked about her, they were all intimate.Thinking of this, Jiang Ningzui looked into Princess Jing's eyes, and the doubt faded away a little.

"Reckoning, it's been a year since you returned to Dayan, right?" Princess Jing said, she took Yan Junyao's hand, and said, "Your Majesty's royal family is here, and etiquette is always indispensable."

Yan Junyao nodded, and understood what Princess Jing said.He went to Yang Kingdom with Princess Jing three years ago. During these years, he was in a foreign country, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he and Princess Jing depended on each other for life.And Yang Xuanlin was never harsh on him. Although they didn't meet for a long time, he never stopped teaching him, riding and hunting, the way of governing the country, and everything he could teach, he was never stingy.

Yan Junyao always thought that those were just what Princess Jing meant. After all, during the three years he went to Yang Kingdom, Princess Jing always took good care of him.But thinking about it now, besides Yan Yilan, who else could make King Beiyang do this?

Thinking about it, Yan Junyao followed Princess Jing and walked towards Yang Xuanlin and Yan Yilan. At the end, he looked back at Jiang Ningzui and said, "Ningzui, you can come together too."

Jiang Ningzui was slightly stunned, she vaguely didn't want to join in the fun, but when Yan Junyao said this, Princess Jing had already turned her head to look over, her eyes were shallow, she looked extraordinarily soft, she was smiling and patiently waiting for Jiang Drunk followed.

Worth mentioning.Since I decided to come from the beginning, why bother to tweak it now?

Jiang Ningzui followed silently, the closer she got to Yang Xuanlin and Yan Yilan, the more she felt a line of sight falling directly on her body, so hot that she had to raise her head, the sight was unexpected The ground and Yan Yilan's eyes collided, Jiang Ningzui's heart froze, and then she looked away calmly.

"King Beiyang."

As Yan Junyao said, he was about to lead Jiang Ning to salute drunk, but he saw Yang Xuanlin got off the horse sideways, waved his hand to stop him, and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Handing the horse he was holding to the attendant to take away, Yang Xuanlin sized up Yan Junyao, saw how restrained he was in front of him, and asked: "You have been back for more than a year, and you haven't given your emperor any money. Is my sister causing trouble?"

Yang Xuanlin has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see everything, coupled with his attitude of looking down on everything, Yan Junyao only feels that the words he asked made him not know how to answer.It seems that Yang Xuanlin knows everything, and he can't allow him to argue and explain, and it also makes him unable to deceive him.

What's more, judging from all the muddled things he has done before, this question seems to be even more difficult to answer.

Jiang Ningzui naturally also saw the meaning of Yan Junyao's silence, she looked at it coldly, the meaning of standing on the sidelines couldn't be more obvious.Although it is impossible to guess whether Yang Xuanlin asked these words because he knew what Yan Junyao had done, but regardless of whether he knew it or not, Jiang Ningzui felt that embarrassing Yan Junyao so much, compared to his treatment of Yan Junyao. In terms of Lan's misunderstanding and hurt, it really seems insignificant.What's more, in this way, he can always remember all the sacrifices Yan Yilan made for him.

"We just met, and the king is so relentless. I haven't met the queen mother yet. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to sit down and talk slowly later."

Seeing that Yan Junyao couldn't answer, Princess Jing took up the conversation first, she walked to Yan Yilan's side with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were like a pair of crescent moons, she just smiled, but her eyes unconsciously lit up. layer of water vapor.

Her concubine mother passed away early, she was less than seven years old when she died, Empress Ning took pity on her when she lost her concubine mother at a young age, and raised her in Yi'an Palace, so that she could be with Yan Yilan.Empress Ning regards her as her own, and Yan Yilan has always cherished her. Among these princes, Yan Yilan, as the eldest daughter of Prince Yan and the daughter of the empress, needless to say about her status, but she treats her alone One person is very kind.

Therefore, in the first battle between Yan and Sui four years ago, apart from the crown prince, Yan Yilan also married her to the Yang Kingdom with a marriage certificate, in order to keep her away from disputes and right and wrong, so that she would not suffer from ups and downs for the rest of her life.Even if everyone in the world knew that it was Yan Yilan who Yang Xuanlin really wanted to marry, not her.

"The Queen."

Yan Yilan's gaze has been lingering in Jiang Ningzui's direction. Now that she heard someone calling her, when she turned around, she saw Princess Jing's teary eyes. She felt a little funny and said, "Don't cry. If you let me When the queen mother saw it, she must say that I bullied you again."

When Princess Jing heard this, she broke into tears and laughed, and quickly nodded in agreement, while wiping the tears from her cheeks.

Jiang Ningzui had been watching coldly, but now she heard Yan Yilan's half helpless and half gentle words, she looked silently, and saw Yan Yilan scraping the tears off Princess Jing's face with her fingertips, her expression was loose , but the movement is gentle.

Probably because I have seen too many intrigues in the palace, and the scenes of unremitting efforts for power, even when dealing with Yan Junyao, Yan Yilan is always somewhat alienated, but this is the first time Jiang Ningzui has seen , Yan Yilan treats her imperial sister so close, without any sense of alienation.

Although I don't know the relationship between them, but just watching from such a distance, I can feel a thing or two.

"Okay, the queen mother is still waiting for you on the tower."

Such a provocative scene is really not suitable for her, Yan Yilan thought, and was about to invite Yang Xuanlin and the others into the palace, when she suddenly saw the curtain of one of the carriages in the back row move, she was keen Noticing it, he turned his head and looked over.

I saw someone sticking his head out from the curtain of the car, first he looked around with those big sly eyes, but he didn't know what he saw, his eyes suddenly smiled into a bright moon, and he jumped out of the carriage. Down, walked towards them.

"Brother Huang, why didn't you wake me up when I arrived at Dayan's palace, causing me to sleep for a long time."

While complaining, the man walked to Yang Xuanlin's side. As she spoke, her eyes slanted and fell on Yan Junyao's body. She smiled even brighter, and the dimples on her cheeks became vivid with this smile.

"Prince Yan, we meet again!" As she spoke, regardless of the complex expression on Yan Junyao's face, she walked over with her hands behind her back, and leaned over to Yan Junyao's ear, He said word by word: "This time, you can't escape, right?"

Yan Junyao took two steps back unconsciously, the smile on his face couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or sarcasm, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled forcedly: "Princess Qiyue."

"Speaking of which, where is the person you never forget?" Ignoring Yan Junyao's words, Qiyue said while looking around, until she found Jiang Ningzui's figure, she tilted her head and smiled: "Oh? Could it be her?"
