Holding the letter, Rong Jian opened the curtain casually and walked outside.

The last ray of the setting sun shone on the verandah, and the dim sunlight seemed to condense into substance. Along the eaves, drop by drop, it fell into the low place in the courtyard.

Rong Jian walked a few steps in the corridor, sat in a side seat unruly, with his calves hanging outside, the hem of the skirt poured down, and the bell hanging on his ankle flashed past.The patterns embroidered with silver thread are shining brightly, like ripples in the setting sun like water waves.

Ling Song didn't approach him, but stood behind the bamboo curtain and looked at him.

Rong Jian's back is reflected on the vermilion floor, stretched very long, and seems to be very lonely.

It wasn't until this moment that Rong Jian was completely relaxed.

He opened the envelope and flattened the letter paper. He couldn't wait in his heart, but he was very careful in his hands. He looked at it slowly under the dim light.

In the letter sent in his personal name, Akino never talked about political affairs, and this letter only briefly talked about the recent situation, saying that it snowed on the northern border, and the snow was white, but it was not good-looking.

Rong Jian remembered the night when he and Mingye enjoyed the snow, talked about liking, and showed their unconscious love.

At the end of the letter, it is said that the snow and flowers sent from afar, which belong to the scenery of the northern border, are attached.

Rong Jian found a sprig of dried sweet-scented osmanthus in the envelope, held it for a while, and even left a lingering fragrance on his wrist.

It's just that "Snow" can't be found, where is it placed?

Rong Jian didn't think too much, and looked at the thin envelope and letter paper for a long time, and didn't know where the snow from the northern border could be stored.But Ling Song didn't give him anything else, only this letter was sent by Mingye.

Such an extravagant waste of time, until the sun was about to disappear under the palace wall, Rong Jian held up the letter paper and looked at the light, and found that there were several places where "His Royal Highness" was written in the letter, and the paper was slightly crumpled, seems to have been soaked and then dried.

Rong Jian was startled, and finally realized slowly that it was the trace left by Xue.

...It's Akino.

Perhaps only Akino would write such a letter.

Rong Jian hugged his calf, rested his chin on his knees, and stared blankly for a while, not unhappy, but feeling a little empty in his heart.

A year and a half ago, Akeno said that he would become his sword, and then it was a long farewell.

It is impossible for Rong JIan to regard Mingye as a knife, he wants to protect this seemingly invincible person who cuts everything for himself.

He also wanted to become very powerful, and he didn't want Akino's hard work to be in vain.But every time he thought of Ming Ye, Rong Jian felt that he hadn't changed much, he was still the one who was waiting for Ming Ye by the window of Changle Palace.

Finally, the sun had completely set, and the lanterns were gradually lit in the silent courtyard. Ling Song took the torch from the little maid's hand, stood on tiptoe, and lit the lanterns in this section of the corridor.

She felt the chill, took out a cloak, put it on Rong Jian, and found that he was still in a daze, so she asked beyond the norm: "Is your highness missing the general?"

Rong JIan had nothing to hide, and nodded frankly.

Ling Song comforted him and said, "When the general comes back, shouldn't it be time to plan to get married?"

Hearing this, Rong Jian froze all over.

It seemed that everyone around agreed that Rong Jian would marry Mingye, and Mingye would become the consort of the long princess.

Akeno has paid too much, beyond the level that ordinary people can understand.Participating in and discussing state affairs can progress so quickly, most of the reason is Ming Ye's support from outside.

What even Fei Jinyi regrets the most is letting Ming Ye go, which made the situation completely out of control.

Only Rong JIan himself has a guilty conscience. Occasionally, when he thinks of Ming Ye at night, he will toss and turn, making it difficult to fall asleep.

After a while, Rong Jian said slowly, "I...I don't know."

He looked a little dazed, as if he was at a loss, and it was useless to even call himself.

Ling Song didn't know why, and everyone didn't know why, only Rong Jian understood.

They never really talked about those things between them.

Rong JIan sometimes thinks that if this is not liking, then what is it?More often than not.

Because he and Mingye did not treat each other honestly, he deceived Mingye, what kind of consequences would the relationship based on deceit have.

Rong Jian doesn't want to think about it.

Nothing goes well in life, but he really likes Ming Ye.

It may be because just received a letter from Mingye, Chuxue, Osmanthus fragrans, and those ambiguous feelings were also sent to the Changle Hall along with the letter paper, Rong JIan rarely gave birth to a kind of bravery.

No matter what the result after the lie is shattered, if you like it, then go after it.

Akeno doesn't have any standards, he can do whatever he likes.

It's all about human effort, although Ming Ye is the male protagonist who has upgraded the fluent text, according to the unspoken rules, it is unlikely that he will have any feelings for the same sex.But since he never liked anyone else in the original text, maybe he can't accept boys, why can't he like them, can't be together?

Rong Jian thought a lot, he is indeed greedy, he likes Ming Ye.

Seven days later, Rong Jian invited people from several major families to meet at the Clear Sky Workshop outside the palace.

Jin Yiwei ambushed in all directions, everything had already been arranged, and there was absolutely no mistake.

Rong JIan only had a few people with him, not one of the elders of the Shoufu Pavilion and the important ministers of the court, but no one dared to underestimate this long princess.

He is already more important than those people.

As for why it took such a long time, it was to let them try other methods, but found that they had nowhere to go.

The aristocratic clan visited the emperor again and again these days, and Rong Jian didn't know it.However, as long as Fei Jinyi has a way with Ming Ye, he will not let Ming Ye hold the military power to the point where it cannot be sealed.There is no way for the family to beg again.

Today's interview is just the final word.

Rong JIan offered a price for a daylight robbery, and the family bargained again. After talking all night, they only came up with a rough result, which has not yet been finalized.

Seeing that there is no shortage of this money, he has no desire for gold and silver property, and he understands the family's thinking by asking such a high price.They don't think that Rong Jian is really just for disaster relief, but takes the opportunity to cut their flesh.Rong Jian obeyed their will and did so.

After bargaining, Rong JIan exchanged money that he didn't intend to ask for in exchange for those who were responsible for disaster relief.Otherwise, the people of the local clan are still deeply entrenched, and the silver is just turned around and returned to their own hands.

It was already late at night after the talk, Jin Yiwei escorted Rong Jian back to the palace.

There was no tea at the banquet, but Rong Jian drank a few glasses of sake.His alcohol capacity was not good, but it wasn't that bad, and he wasn't dizzy, but his cheeks were flushed and the evening breeze was blowing.

When getting into the carriage, Gu Zhiping was by his side, before Si Fu could speak, he stretched out his arm towards the long princess, wanting to lend strength to Rong Jian.

Rong Jian could tell whose official robe it was, turned his head, and gave Gu Zhiping a condescending glance, he didn't put it on, he didn't ask, he didn't even refuse, he just pretended he didn't see it, and got into the carriage by himself.

Si Fu looked at Gu Zhiping's words, and said in a strange way: "Editor Gu is an official outside, why is he still competing with the slaves for these jobs? I'm afraid it's not right."

Gu Zhiping was stunned for a moment, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, he bowed his hands and confessed to Si Fu.

But it's not that I shouldn't do this, it's just that in the public, men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, it's because I'm dizzy.

On the way back to the palace, thought a lot.

After all, Rong Jian Chuanshu came in and only read a few months of books in Yangfu Zhai, and he was still not very attentive.Later, concentrated on government affairs, and only occasionally went to Yangfuzhai to make mistakes, so that people could not make mistakes.

So after nearly two years of reading, he is still not good at ancient diction, and Qi Zeqing is not that unreasonable person, and he doesn't force it.But knowing that once he entered the court, he still couldn't expose his shortcomings, so he found someone to write his dictation into a decree.

Gu Zhiping is the chosen one.Although he became a Tanhua by virtue of his knowledge and appearance, but Tanhua is common, there is only one long princess, and now he holds the real power, the same as the crown prince.His official position is low, although he has no real power, but everyone wants to please him.

Gu Zhiping knew the seriousness, ordinary people would not welcome him, for fear that the princess might misunderstand.But in life, you can't always be alone.He could not refuse visits from fellow villagers, so he would talk a little more.

When drunk, there is no one else, so can say anything.

The fellow who also passed the exam this year said: "The rumors and gossip between the long princess and that person are well known. My brother, but I heard some news from the people in the palace that others don't know."

Gu Zhiping didn't make a sound, and silently drank another glass of wine.

The man said: "The general worked as an errand for the long princess for two years, so outsiders think it is a deep friendship. But in the past two years, the long princess has not rewarded anything, nor promoted him to an official position, and he has not even given a monthly salary.Not too much. At that time, the people in the guards avoided that person. I thought in my heart, if there was a real feeling, would it have reached such a point? I’m afraid not at all.”

Gu Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and just said: "How dare you and I speak nonsense about the long princess."

The fellow countryman smiled meaningfully: "I'm just a pity that the long princess didn't like that very much when she was a guard, and now it's probably just forced by power. And Gu Di is so young and handsome, and he gets along with a man and a widow all day long., why not?"

Gu Zhiping was taken aback, for some reason, he knew it was a joke during the banquet, but he remembered it in his heart.

The people in Changle Hall were very tight-lipped, and Gu Zhiping also knew that he could not inquire about information from them, so he would occasionally ask others about it.Everyone in the palace tried their best to please Gu Zhiping, so some old people in the palace joined together and told Gu Zhiping what happened back then.

It also said that in August of the year before last, the long princess had a serious illness, Ming Ye waited outside Changle Hall for three days, and was ridiculed by others.

Gu Zhiping felt that the words of his fellow countrymen became more and more credible.He stayed by the long princess's side for three months, accompanying him to deal with government affairs every day. He knew the long princess's character very well, and he thought he had figured it out five points.As a long princess, she treats ordinary people very kindly, and her kindness to those around her is even more obvious.Even if I have been working by his side for less than half a month, I even have a share of ice after summer.

but it is not the truth.

Rong Jian only regards Gu Zhiping as a colleague and subordinate, and usually only interacts with him at work, as for many things in his private life, he doesn't know anything about it.And those specious words were just to fool Gu Zhiping that he had never been in High Capital, and the people in the palace seemed to speak kindly to him, but in fact he only heard what others wanted to tell him.

How the long princess treats the general, he has not seen it with his own eyes.

Gu Zhiping is a chosen pawn, used to throw stones to ask for directions, in an attempt to destroy the unbreakable relationship between the long princess and the general.The means used by those people are also very simple, telling the truth, putting on a hat and putting on fake clothes, if it is not for other plans, it is impossible to be fooled.

He was blinded by others, unable to see these truths, and unwilling to wake up from it, so he could only fall into it.

Gu Zhiping is no longer the cautious Tanhualang three months ago.

He knew that before him, no one had ever been so close to the long princess, and he might have other thoughts, but he knew he couldn't say it out loud.But delusional thoughts gradually appeared in his heart, Ming Ye, a martial artist can do it, but he is the court's Tanhua Lang, why can't he?

On the second day, people from the family immediately entered the palace to complain to Fei Jinyi, making themselves extremely pitiful, and expressing their loyalty by the way.

Although they were scumbags, they still had to fall to one side when they felt the coming chill of the scythe.

Wang Zhiheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, wept bitterly: "The servants and other personal belongings can barely support a large family, but they are called long princesses..."

But the matter had already been settled, Fei Jinyi didn't answer the question, he also needed to use these people to confuse Ming Ye who was thousands of miles away, he just kept comforting him.

Wang Zhiheng took the veil handed over by Zhang Deshui, wiped his tears, and said: "Not only the humble ministers, but also the rest of the families, have been exhorted and instructed, saying that they have been officials for decades, and they are all doing things for His Majesty. And thisIn the world, the common people say that they only know the emperor with the surname Fei, and the Rong family has long been buried in the earth."

Fei Jinyi looked distressed: "Ai Qing, don't be discouraged. I don't know that Rong Jian is from the blood of the Rong family, and I want to return the world to her. Firstly, it is because of inappropriate etiquette;.”

After a long sigh: "We still have to marry her as soon as possible, and then we can find out what happened."

Wang Zhiheng was temporarily unable to make any sense of the matter.In the current situation in the court, the emperor and the long princess are already in a state of immortality, and it is no longer possible to ease it by marrying.Even if the princess gets married, she can stay in Capital as a matter of course, and it is impossible to let go of the power already in her hands.

And his own side has already stated that he will follow Fei Jinyi to the death, and only hope that he can arrange for his heirs to inherit the country as soon as possible, but why did the emperor say this?

Naturally, it was impossible for Fei Jinyi to explain to him, so he sent him out with a few perfunctory words.

Now these scumbags are not so important, and he has prepared a solution.

After Wang Zhiheng went out, only Fei Jinyi and Zhang Deshui were left in the room. The candles flickered slightly, and the huge imperial study seemed eerie and dead silent for a moment.

Fei Jinyi didn't have the heart to reply to the excerpts of the past few days, so he asked, "What did Ke Zhengchan say?"

Ke Zhengchan is the name of the Khan of the Yanran tribe and the father of Damnya.

As the lord of a country, but privately contacting the Khan of the other side of the war, such a thing is unheard of and unseen.

But Fei Jinyi dared to do it.

Zhang Deshui wandered around, lowered his voice to the extreme, and leaned into Fei Jinyi's ear and said, "There is a message from there, everything is ready, just wait for the east wind."

At the very beginning, Ke Zhengchan really didn't take Mingye seriously.

Akino is too young and unknown, like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath, it is famous all over the world for a while, but it is difficult to last.

Young people always do.

It wasn't until Ming Ye cut off the head of one of his sons on the way of the Wanjun, and he suffered a defeat like that, that he finally came to his senses.

Ming Ye is indeed not an ordinary person.

Ke Zhengchan was very patient and decided to spend time with Mingye.He knows that the battlefield is the place for hunters, talent is not enough, many things can only be known about what went wrong, and regret it day after day.

The young man was inexperienced, and what Ke Zhengchan was waiting for was for Ming Ye to expose his inadequacy.

But he was wrong, Ming Ye is not twenty years old this year.He had defeated the Yanran people before, and drove them back to the depths of the grassland once, and this time would be no exception.

Akeno is very patient and able to bear hardships.In the past year and a half, he has never been to the front line, and sometimes the fighting has eased, and he also trains every day, and he has never been absent for a single day.Even if something happened to enter the city, Lian would never stay, but ate and slept with the soldiers.

A person who can easily defeat his fourteenth son, a person who has no heart for pleasure, Ke Zhengchan really finds it tricky, winter is coming again, and he is losing patience.

Fortunately, the emperor of Da Yin sent news that he was willing to accept this no-cost transaction.

The weather in the northern border is very changeable. It was still sunny in the morning, and it was covered with dark clouds at noon. Before evening, heavy snow almost covered the road. Zhou Zhaoqing came by carriage and was almost blocked in the middle of the road.

After getting off the car, Lin Zong, Mingye's confidant in the army, led him to the tent.

Akeno was reading the secret report under the lamp.

Zhou Zhaoqing was running around, exhausting himself for the war on the northern border. At this time, the food had just been delivered, and he was not polite, so he found a place to sit and reported the current situation one by one.

After the serious matter was finished, Zhou Zhaoqing became less serious: "Have you heard about it, my lord? That's it! That long princess of yours!"

Akeno was really busy, so he didn't plan to pay attention to him, but he turned his head slowly when he heard the phrase "your long princess".

He responded casually, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhaoqing exaggerated: "Don't you know, my lord? It's the long princess who went into a rage because of the northern border's winter supplies. In the palace, she directly forced the family to donate money for disaster relief. She wants to allocate money from the treasury to this side."

How could Mingye not know about such a thing.

He put down the book in his hand, closed his eyes, and said in a rather cold tone, "It's those people in the palace who bullied him again."

Zhou Zhaoqing was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the situation at that time was not a secret, the visitor told him in detail, and the long princess forced the household servant of the Jiang family to retreat in a few words.The one who went out didn't look like he was being bullied.

Perhaps, approximately, possibly, this is also a kind of beauty is in the eye of the beholder.It's a feeling that his lonely family can't understand, but it's not easy to argue.

In addition to food and grass related to the war, there is also a gift list of rare objects.

Ming Ye has no private property, and almost everything in the Wanlai Chamber of Commerce has been invested in this war.He only occasionally picks some things to give to Rong Jian who is far away in Capital, filling Rong Jian's room and dowry, and he will not leave any items behind.

The flower tin made of rubies that Rong Jian saw was also a gift from Ming Ye.

In the thirty years before his life, Akeno had never shown a preference for red gemstones, but now he picks them out on purpose.

He loved rubies because that was the true color of his eyes.But it's not because he likes his own eyes so much, but because he thinks of Rong Jian's expression when he caressed his own eyes.

It's like fine snow is about to fall into the cold lake, knowing it will melt, but there is no turning back.

Rong JIan is like that, a soft nostalgia that Ming Ye can never give up.

It was a feeling that no matter how long the time or distance was, it could not be dispelled.

When will we see Rong Jian again, Ming Ye lowered his eyes, thinking nonchalantly.

He had to.

Because if you take it too seriously, you can't suppress the wildfire of desire.
