There has been no royal wedding ceremony in the palace for many years. Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day. extravagant.

Originally, Qi Chen could open a mansion and build teeth outside the capital, and Qi Xiao generously rewarded the government office a hundred miles away from the capital, but Wei Chiyu was unwilling. First, he was so far away from the capital, so he couldn't continue to serve as the imperial guard. Second, Wei Xin is just a daughter. Although she is married to her husband's family, she always hopes that Wei Chiyu can be closer to them. Wei Chiyu also thinks the same.

Qi Wei guessed that Wei Chiyu was unwilling, so he turned down the gift of founding the mansion. He just built a mansion in the southeast of the capital, which is only half an hour away from Wei Mansion. For her, it is much safer to put it under her feet. Although the government office was only a hundred miles away, it must be said that it still made her feel a little bit jealous.

Now that Qi Wei voluntarily settled in the capital, it can be said that he has clearly shown that he has no ambition and loyalty, so Qi Xiao is naturally happy.

It was half a month before the marriage of Qi Zhen and Wei Chiyu, and it was the festival of family members in August. The good news that the people of Dayu had been looking forward to finally came. Reunion with family at the end of the year.

Outside the capital city, beside the Huai River, men, women and children put candle-lit lotus lanterns into the river. The lotus lanterns fluttered and bumped into the center of the river in the dark Huai water. From west to east, the river floats the river lanterns carrying the thoughts of relatives far away. It is the memory of relatives far away in the frontier and the memorial to the soldiers who died in battle.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace lasted until late at night, and when Qi Xiao walked out of the Tai Chi Hall a little drunk, the sky outside was completely dark, only the bright moon hung in the sky, and the Weaver Girl Cowherd looked at each other from a distance, shining stars and rivers competing for beauty.The comfortable breeze cleared up most of the mind, and drove to Lanyue Palace. Ever since Chang'er was made a princess, Qi Xiao gave her personal maid, Hua Xiang, to Qi Ping. She and Chang'er served together, so they were familiar with each other, and they knew that Hua Xiang was quiet and virtuous, so she should have a temper that could be called equal.

The eunuch who hit the front was already singing promises, but Qi Xiao walked into Lanyue Palace but it was very quiet, only a dim candle was lit in the outer hall, and after a while, Xiaolu ran out of it in a panic. There is no one behind him.

After asking, I found out that not long ago, Qi Yi said that he was going to put the lotus lanterns, so he took two maidservants to the Lingchang River to put the lanterns, and left Xiaolu alone to look after the house. Lingchang River is just a small river in the palace and is located in Lanyue Palace. However, it runs through the river outside the palace and goes directly to the Huai River.

Xiaolu reckoned the time and said that they would be back in a short time, just let Qi Xiao enter the house later.

Qi Xiao looked up at Wang Mingyue and then at the quiet Lanyue Palace, turned around and ordered someone to carry it to the Lingchang River. The Lingchang River is not far from Lanyue Palace. After walking half a stick of incense, he saw a The winding river flows quietly.

The white glow of the moonlight is not enough for people to see things dozens of steps away, but the orange lights on the river can be seen clearly from a distance.

Afraid to disturb their elegance, Qi Xiao got off the chariot at a distance of several tens of feet, and walked towards the direction of the lights step by step. The curtain of the night gradually faded, and finally vaguely saw it at a position more than ten steps away. Of the people standing on the bank, one of the three was squatting down, probably paddling the water surface with his hand to let the lotus lantern swim into the center of the river quickly.

At the same time when Qi Xiao saw them clearly, the sound of footsteps also made the other party aware of what was behind them. The moment they turned around, the three of them knelt down and saluted together. Knowing that their whereabouts had been exposed, Qi Xiao cast an unhappy glance Only then did the servants quickly walk to the front and let them stand up.

Without the help of external force, the two lotus lanterns swayed up and down the river stagnantly. The moonlight was like a skillful artist, adding a softness to Qi's already exquisite facial features. Qi Xiao couldn't help but He took a deep breath, blinked his eyes hard a few times, stepped forward and took Qi Ping's hand and said, "Just now I went to Lanyue Palace to look for you, but you were not here, so I came here."

Qiu Lin and Hua Xiang retreated to the side tactfully, not to disturb their preparatory love conversation, but the moonlight is beautiful and the night is quiet, those lingering whispers are still like the golden wind blowing in the ears, blowing into everyone's heart little by little. In people's ears, the words are so lingering and full of affection, even the palace people who have already lost their love and desire are moved further away by this emotion.

Touching the somewhat cold hands, Qi Xiao couldn't help but frowned and complained, "The body just moved around, the river is cold, just let the servant do it."

"Through the hands of others, wouldn't it be a lack of sincerity?"

The lotus lantern finally floated to the center of the river with the help of the breeze, leaving only two spots of red light all the way to the east. Qi Xiao looked at the lotus lantern in the distance and asked, "These two lotus lanterns commemorate the late emperor?"

She didn't answer Qi Xiao's question right away, but stretched out her hand to smooth her slightly frowning eyebrows. The soft and cool fingertips touched the center of her brows, making Qi Xiao return to the past in a trance. He grabbed the hand rubbing between his eyebrows and asked, "Did you ever hate me in these years?"

Qi Wei's expression was a little surprised for a moment, and then he smiled lightly, "I hated it before." Just after finishing these four words, I saw Qi Xiao frowned again, "At that time, you always wanted me to be your person, but you You always want to marry me off to Bei Xun, of course I understand the pros and cons, but I still can't help blaming you for being so unreasonable, will Xiao'er blame me?"

Qi Xiao shook her head: "I can't blame you, it's my fault."

"But now you are mine and I am yours. How can I hate you? It's too late to like you." His face was flushed by his love words, and he was glad that the hazy moonlight would not let her see his gaffe. He turned to the lotus lantern in the distance and said: "Before the mother died, she should have been very worried about me. The emperor doesn't like me, and I'm afraid that no one will love me."

I don't know how Qi Zhi would talk about this past, hearing her lonely and bitter voice, he couldn't help but take her into his arms.

"But, I have you Xiao'er now." In her arms, Qi Ping smelled the reassuring sandalwood and the scent of wine, "Just now in the lotus lantern, I wrote a short note, telling her that I love you. I have found a lifelong companion, so that my mother no longer has to worry about me."

"Then why don't you write a letter for me, and tell my mother that I also found a Iraqi woman, and I won't marry unless she is the only one."

"Why didn't you marry me?" Qi Yan muttered, then pointed to the lotus lanterns on the river, "One is for my mother, and the other is for Aunt Chu, tell her, she My daughter is already mine, so don't worry about her."

"Really?" Qi Xiao couldn't help squinting his eyes to look at the lotus lantern that had drifted away, as if he wanted to see the contents of the lotus lantern clearly.

"That's natural." Qi Ping raised his chin as if he had succeeded, "Didn't Xiao'er complain that I didn't think about you just now, and now she's repenting?"

Without waiting for Qi Xiao to answer, Qi Zhe giggled foolishly by himself, "It's useless to go back on your word, isn't it already?"

Seeing that she rarely looked like a child, Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing too.

Less than two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Xiao received the news of the visit of the special envoy of Bei Xun. Meng didn't come in person, and the carriage full of gold, silver and jewelry spread for several miles, rumbled into the capital.

The welcoming ceremony is the same custom as before, except that the person involved in the previous year was Qi Ji, but this year it was replaced by someone else.

This time, even though Qi Xiao repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, the special envoys only stayed for five short days. The wedding dress was a phoenix crown, and the hairpin given by Qi Xiao was inserted into her hair. .

But compared to the moment when the other party was disheartened, Chang'er had her own little satisfaction. When she stood outside the Xuanwu Gate and saw Qi Zhi's reluctant expression, her heart ached, but she felt that she was worth the effort. .

Taking a step closer, and using a voice that only the two of them could hear, Shang'er said: "Master, in my bedroom in Fanglu Palace, there is something I gave you on the cabinet, remember, remember."

Pulling out her clenched hands, Shang'er finally showed Qi Ji a not-so-sweet smile, turned around and got into the carriage.

The person who followed my ten-year-old sister left is different from the feeling when I left. At that time, if it was a pool of stagnant water, now there is a tsunami in my heart. I feel guilty and resigned, but I still feel deeply self-blame.

Tears filled her eyes and dripped down her cheeks. She wanted to tell Qi Xiao that it was just the noisy wind and sand that dazzled her eyes. She wanted to do what she promised Shang'er before and happily send her off to get married, but when the carriage gradually drove away Tears still poured out uncontrollably.

Trying not to let herself cry, her trembling shoulders still betrayed her weakness, Qi Xiao came from the front and hugged her gently, but for the first time, she couldn't forgive her guilt in this warm embrace.

It was because of her greed that Shang'er had to marry Bei Xun far away, but the anticipation in her heart and Qi Xiao's longing made her accept Chang'er's contribution, and she couldn't forgive herself in the end.

Came to Fanglu Palace in a daze, eyes still sore from crying just now, there were only a few servants left in the palace cleaning the house, and Chang'er left, then this place will return to its cold and cold appearance in a short time.

The decoration in the bedroom is very simple, even a bit like the arrangement that Shang'er is still in Lanyue Palace, the things that Shang'er said before are placed on the cabinet.

A piece of letter paper was pressed under an exquisite sachet, and the words on the letter paper were written neatly stroke by stroke. Chang'er was not as proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as other maids. Gefu, you can almost imagine her meticulous and careful writing before the case.

There are only a few words on the letterhead.

flower easy zero

month without peace

Feeling lost

Unforgettable

After staring at it for a long time, Qi Ping picked up the sachet on the cabinet. Qi Ping had seen the plum blossom embroidery on it more than once. On her silk, on her insoles, Chang'er always liked to embroider some flowers and birds. Fish and insects, at the end, perhaps to avoid thread drop, she always likes to sew an extra stitch.

The hand that opened the sachet trembled disobediently, and at the same time as the right hand pulled hard to open the seal, the sachet slipped from the hand and fell to the ground, and the things that had been wrapped in it scattered from it, which were plum blossoms that had already dried up .
