Jiaochu

There was light rain falling in the sky, and it fell on the sycamore trees.

Someone came over holding an umbrella, and the crimson official uniform was slightly wet by the raindrops.

The sycamore tree in the study room has lost all its leaves and stands naked in front of the locked study room, like a silent warrior, loyally guarding this place.

There was another person standing in the yard, also holding an umbrella, and the hem of his skirt was slightly wet from the raindrops.

When the two umbrellas were still two steps apart, the person who walked in stopped.

The patter of rain fell on the umbrella, like a messy yet gentle melody.

"When I was in school, I was most afraid of being slapped by my master. The third brother got slapped by many, but Brother Su never got one." Ye Lingxi turned around with an umbrella and smiled slightly. Su Shi lowered his gaze slightly and thought He raised his hands to salute, but it was difficult to salute even with an umbrella, which was a bit embarrassing.

"There is a question I have always wanted to ask Brother Su," she said.

Su Shi replied: "Princess, please speak."

She asked: "Does Brother Su have someone he likes?"

Su Shi's face turned slightly red, unable to answer this question directly.

She changed the question, "What kind of girl does Brother Su like?"

Su Shi's face turned red again, and he was unprepared for these two sudden questions.

"It's okay, Brother Su, think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry," she said.

The raindrops fell on the branches, stones, umbrellas, and the ground...

After an unknown amount of time, Su Shi said, "In matters of marriage, you must obey your parents' orders."

"What about Brother Su himself?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Su Shi paused, looked at the sycamore tree in front, and said, "The vegetation will wither in autumn and winter, and will sprout and grow leaves again in spring and summer. They grow in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn, and hide in winter. All things follow the laws of the four seasons. , the same is true for people, they read and read, obtain fame, serve the court, marry a wife and have children."

The dripping sound of raindrops stopped, and the sun penetrated the clouds, making the water drops hanging on the branches sparkle, and everything looked brand new.

"The rain stopped." She stretched out her hand, and a beam of light fell from her fingers.

"Yes." Su Shi looked at the sunshine falling from the clouds, his eyebrows were peaceful and peaceful.

After Su Shi put away his umbrella and left, another person walked out from next to the study.

"Second sister,"

"Third sister, thank you."

Ye Yuyao had a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She seemed to laugh and cry, to let go, to feel relieved, to feel sad, and to be reborn. The secret that had been kept in her heart for many years finally got an answer, and that was good. I hope her second sister can have a new world from now on.

Her best wishes.

It was quiet inside the plum garden, and the plum blossoms were still stained with crystal clear water drops, which added a touch of freshness and pleasantness after the new rain in the empty mountains to the already refreshing aroma.

She walked slowly among the plum blossoms, still holding an umbrella in her hand, not to block the raindrops that occasionally fell from the branches, but because she felt that walking under the red plum trees with an umbrella in her hand was more artistic and charming.

There is a person standing under the plum tree in front, also admiring the red plums after the rain. He has a slender figure, wearing a silver-gray cloak, standing quietly in the fresh and fresh red plums, like a touch of clearness and depth. of moonlight.

When she saw the person in front of her, she stopped and turned around the next second.

Ye Lingjue turned his gaze sideways and watched the lake-green figure disappear behind the red plum.

After leaving the plum garden, Ye Lingxi wandered aimlessly in the imperial garden, feeling bored. Her second sister was getting married and there were fewer people in the palace.

A small flower growing from the edge of the stone attracted her attention. She knelt down to look at the flower and said to herself: "Second sister is going to marry to the south. In fact, Brother Meng is not bad at all. He is a talented person, capable of both literary and military skills." , he won’t flirt with women, he will definitely be a good husband, although he doesn’t seem to talk much, but it’s better than sweet words.”

"Huh~~~" Someone chuckled behind her. She turned around and met Yan Fei's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Her face turned slightly red, and she turned back and asked, "Brother Yan, when are you coming?" Are you here?" Yanfei said, "I haven't been here long, and I seem to have heard the princess say something about a talented person, good at literature and martial arts, and a good husband." He deliberately said the last three words in a long tone, with a hint of narrow-mindedness at the corner of his mouth. smile.

Ye Lingxi turned her head and glanced at him, then stood up and left pretending to be angry. Yan Fei followed quickly and said, "Princess, you are not allowed to go back on what you promised." She pretended to be confused and said, "What's the matter?" Yan Fei teased. She said, "What a good husband~" She turned her head and glared at him, then turned and pointed the back of her head at him, with a look like "I will ignore you if you don't apologize to me." Yan Fei coaxed, "I was wrong. Please forgive me this time if you have a lot of princess." She pursed her lips and snickered, and said nonchalantly, "I won't be the same next time." Yan Fei nodded in agreement, "Princess is right, I won't be the same next time."

The two of them kept serious expressions for a second, then two seconds, and within three seconds they couldn't hold back any longer and laughed in unison.

When they returned to Weiyang Palace, Xiao Luzi was waiting at the door. When he saw Ye Lingxi coming back, Xiao Luzi hurried over and said, "Princess, Your Highness, please come over."

Xiaoluzi looked anxious, as if something big had happened.

When she followed Xiaoluzi to Ganquan Palace, Ye Xingye rushed over as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He looked like something was going wrong, and the first sentence he spoke said shocking news:

"My father wants me to marry King Jin's sister."

After she reacted for a few seconds, she couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

Ye Xingye nodded vigorously and was so distressed that he almost pulled his hair out. He kept walking back and forth, muttering something in his mouth, "No, no, no, I can't just sit back and wait for death. I have to make it clear to my father. I have never seen her, how can I do this?" Marry her, no, no, no..."

She stopped the figure dangling in front of her and said, "Third brother, please calm down first and explain the matter clearly."

Ye Xingye explained the matter again.

This morning, Eunuch De asked him to go to the imperial study room.

When he arrived at the study, he saw that King Jin Liu Jin was also there, knowing nothing about what was about to happen.

Then his father said that King Jin had a sister who was about the same age as him, and Eunuch De also praised her, saying that she was well-educated, smart and smart, with a face so full of joy that even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes made her smile.

There was a thump in his heart. No matter how slow his nerves were, he realized something was wrong. Was his father going to grant him a marriage? ! At that time, his mind was hot, and he blurted out, "Father, my second brother is not married yet." Then he saw his father's face darkened for a moment, and then he came out. He felt very uneasy, fearing that someone would marry him. The imperial edict hit him on the head.
