Chang Anqing

Chapter 307 Sending You A Thousand Miles
Yumenguan in autumn has a unique beauty of tranquility. In the howling autumn wind, a ray of setting sun spreads out on the jade-like lake outside the city, sparkling with waves. At first glance, it looks like a thousand miles of Milky Way, which is fascinating.

Above the city gate, under the setting sun, Yang Yan and Princess Qianjin stood there side by side. The gentle light cast a slightly dizzy and long shadow for them. A breeze blew by, faintly carrying the fragrance of flowers, and also seemed to be carrying the fragrance of flowers. The windy sand with particles lingers a different taste from Chang'an.

In the silence, Princess Qianjin closed her eyes, and it took a long time before she made a sound, breaking the silence between the two.

"Brother, after tomorrow, we will say goodbye, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Yan's face became even more silent. Even though he knew the mistakes Princess Qianjin had made, even though he knew the delusions she had when she was young, she was still his sister no matter what, and she was like a little tail since she was a child. , facing the arrogance of others, and alone in front of him, the younger sister who has always been well-behaved and sensible.

From ancient times to the present, he has always been unwilling to see the peace of the world in exchange for the happiness of a woman's life. However, in the face of Princess Qianjin and Princess Shengping's distant marriage and marriage, even though he couldn't bear it and begged, he couldn't change anything after all.

Because even he is very clear that Daxing seems to be just established and thriving, but in fact it is in a swamp full of crises. Now that the south is not peaceful, their country can no longer be attacked by enemies and start a war between the two sides.

This is a disaster for the country, and even more so for the people.

Without waiting for Yang Yan's response, Princess Qianjin finally opened her eyes and looked sideways. When she saw the darkness and silence in Yang Yan's eyes, she knocked on her heart like a small hammer lightly hammering a snare drum. broke her heart.

"Brother, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Hearing the voice beside him, Yang Yan looked sideways, and when he saw Princess Qianjin looking at him with a smile, her beautiful side face became more peaceful and gentle under the reflection of the setting sun, and suddenly realized that the once arrogant, domineering, willful and arrogant Rong An seems to have grown up, and even disappeared.

Instead, it is the princess who is dignified and dignified in front of her eyes, who does not cry or make trouble, for the sake of the country and the country, and is willing to spend her whole life to befriend the princess outside the Great Wall and protect Daxing.

"These are all what I want, you don't have to be sad."

"Third Niang—"

Hearing the unbearableness in Yang Yan's words, Princess Qianjin showed a sincere smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and then looked at the grassland and Gobi in the distance and said: "Brother, I did a lot of wrong things in the past, and now I think about it. A dream—”

"In the dream, there is happiness, sadness, sadness, and understanding, but now, it's time to wake up from the dream."

Speaking of which, Princess Qianjin took a step forward, stretched her right hand out of the wall, and felt the numbness of the wind passing through her fingertips. She was obviously smiling, but that smile seemed to be covered with an inexplicable sadness .

"Aye is right. I am the princess of Daxing. Since I was born, I have been supported and served by countless people. Now that I enjoy the love and respect of the people all over the world, I should do something for them. .”

Hearing the serious voice beside him, Yang Yan couldn't help clenching his fists little by little, both for his own incompetence and for the difficulties of the world.

"Brother, do you know?"

Yang Yan heard the words and looked at Princess Qianjin, but she was looking at her with a smile, and there was a bit of sparkle in her eyes.

"I used to think that A Niang only had Shiro in her heart, without me, but I didn't expect that when she and Shiro sent me away, they cried all night. They tossed and turned all night, and even their eyes were swollen from crying."

Hearing Princess Qianjin's choked sobs, Yang Yan couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to comfort her shoulder, but after a long pause, he squeezed it back again, without saying or doing anything.

"She said that it was cold on the grassland, so she asked people to prepare a lot of thick clothes for me. She said that she was afraid that I would not be able to eat delicious food thousands of miles away, so she arranged a dining room for me and prepared a lot of pastries for me. I begged Aye to take my favorite dining room palace maid out of the fortress together. She said that after this farewell, she would not know when we would meet again, so she knelt in front of the altar for me for seven to seven days, and copied the scriptures for me. I begged for a peace talisman bestowed by the real person and handed it to me in person, and she said—”

However, it was too late for the words to continue, and the unstoppable tears completely interrupted Princess Qianjin's words.

At this moment, her figure under the setting sun was weak, she lowered her hands tremblingly, lowered her head, lonely like a deer lost in the long night of the desert, not knowing what the road ahead was, whether she would meet Bi Yinyin's open eyes, who would meet at any time. The wild wolf, the hyena, opened its bloody mouth and devoured her.

Just when she drooped her eyelids and her shoulders were trembling, a warm embrace with the faint fragrance of Du Ruo gently engulfed her. At that moment, she couldn't hold back any longer, and wrapped her hands tightly around her elder brother, Tears poured down as if a gate had been opened.

Wet her face, and also wet his green shirt.

"I used to hate Fourth Brother so much. I hated him so much because of his incompetence, his mediocrity, his lack of motivation, and because he took away A Niang's love."

"But for me, he knelt in front of Aye's hall from day to night. He was so afraid of Aye and pain, but he knelt until his knees were soaked in blood, and Aye drove him out of Zichen Hall."

In the middle of sobbing, Princess Qianjin leaned against Yang Yan's arms, her voice sounded dull, as if she was still that aggressive little girl, she laughed as she spoke.

"At that time, I knew that whether it was A Niang or him, they all loved me and protected me more than I imagined, so for more than ten years, I was able to be so carefree and unafraid of suffering." Only when you grow up, you don’t know good or bad, you don’t know how to advance or retreat.”

Speaking of this, Princess Qianjin finally left Yang Yan's embrace slowly, leaving the embrace of this elder brother whom she might never meet again.

"Brother, can I ask you one thing?"

Under the bloody setting sun, Yang Yan looked at his younger sister with red and swollen walnut-like eyes, and looked at him expectantly, and the words of promise had already blurted out.

At this moment, Princess Qianjin finally pleaded with tears in her eyes: "After this time, maybe I will never be able to return to Chang'an that I have been thinking about, and I will never be able to entertain Aye Niang's knees, and I will never be able to urge my fourth brother to be good at his studies. You, please protect them for me."

The two were silent, Princess Qianjin stretched out her hand to hold Yang Yan's sleeve, and said sincerely: "I know that you are the prince now, and you will be the emperor of Daxing in the future, so only you, only you can replace me. Protect them for the rest of their lives, don't ask for grandeur, but for peace and success, okay?"

Looking at Princess Qianjin who was eagerly waiting in front of her, seeing that she no longer lost her former pride and refused to bow her head, but could not restrain her pleading, even begging.

"it is good."

As the breeze blew, Princess Qianjin finally heard the voice that made her feel relieved and made her feel at ease.

She knew that the elder brother in front of her was a real gentleman, and he would do what he promised, even if the world couldn't do it.

When she saw the long-lost smile finally appeared on Princess Qianjin's face, Yang Yan's heart dropped for it.

At least, he could do something for her within his ability.

"Brother, let's go ride a horse."

At this moment, the woman's joyful voice sounded again in his ears. When Yang Yan looked over, they suddenly seemed to have returned to their childhood, to the tall courtyard of the Taiwei Mansion.

He is not a prince, she is not a princess.

They are just the sons and daughters of the Yang family, carefree.

"it is good."

As the sound of the city gate slowly sounded, two figures, one green and one red, were stretched extremely long by the setting sun, and one riding Juechen galloped into the distance, as if they were clouds in the sky or eagles on the grassland.

The world is vast, let me be free.

　I am very pleased that every woman here has never fallen into the vortex of love, lost her direction, fought endlessly with others, became a weapon of struggle, and lost her heart.For the powerful Shangguan noble concubine, for family love, Aman and Empress Yang of the Li family, for the mother and freedom of Shangguan Yun, for the beloved Shangguan Ling, or for the princess Qianjin who is willing to marry far away and get married for the sake of the people of the country, at least They can finally choose to live for themselves.
