In the twinkling of an eye, it's August. Two days later, it's the Chinese Valentine's day. Da'an is open to the public. Every year, there are lively lantern parties in the streets.
The girl who has not been out of the cabinet can also play at the lantern party on this day, and put the river lantern and sky lantern to pray for marriage.
Tanabata night, Lin let Ye Xihan and ye Shuli two people with white sisters to go to the lantern party.
In the bustling Zhuque street, ye Shuli's face is pale and silent. Bai Caiqing looks left and looks forward to it all the way, chirping and exclaiming. From time to time, ye Xihan and Bai Caiwei approach their heads and whisper a few words, but they are all smiling. The atmosphere between them is quite strange.
Miaodong came to several people behind him. He whispered a few words in Ye Shuli's ear. Ye Shuli nodded and turned to show an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, there's something to deal with in my restaurant. The fourth sister takes sister Caiqing and cousin Caiwei to the lantern party first. I'll look for you later."
Bai Caiqing quickly nodded, staring at the round eyes and said: "mm-hmm, the book leaves elder sister, you go to work quickly! Elder sister, you see there are riddle guessing and sugar people selling there. Let's go and have a look! "
Finish saying then pull Ye Xihan and Bai Caiwei two people one jump one jump to walk past.
Ye Shuli smiles slightly, turns around and goes to the direction of guiqulailou.
"Ah Li, here you are." Wen Jinrui had been waiting for her in front of the restaurant.
Today, he was dressed in a white robe, with a red string on his bun and a little jade comb standing up high. His eyes were shining at her, as if containing the whole starry sky.
"Well, it's a little late, but I'm in a hurry?" Ye Shuli wiped the sweat on his ears.
"No, it's just in time. The sky lantern will be on the other side of the Yudai River in a few minutes. I can still catch up now."
Ye Shuli looked back with a smile: "what are you waiting for! Let's go and play. By the way, Chu Xiao and Chi Linyuan, do you want to go together? "
Looking at him, he waved his hand and turned red No, I'll go to the drugstore to fill my mother's medicine later. "
Chu Xiao gives a bad smile and turns his teasing eyes around between Ye Shuli and Wen Jinrui: "haha I don't want to join in the fun. I'm afraid it'll be a nuisance. I'm going to listen to xianglou to drink flower wine! How about Jinrui? "
Wen Jinrui did not answer, ye Shuli quickly flew a knife eye: "the little king of Chu is young, pay more attention to the body."
"Well Ah Li, let's go quickly. We can't catch up if we are late. " Wen Jinrui's eyes dote on her. Ye Shuli can't help blushing. Fortunately, he can't see anything under the red lantern at night.
They walk slowly to the Yudai River. There are many exquisite and beautiful lotus lanterns floating in the river. Wen Jinrui bought two large and exquisite sky lanterns with the pattern of Cowherd and weaver girl at the old man's stall.
"Ah Li, I said before that I would tell you everything you want to know." Wen Jinrui hands the Kongming lamp to her, and her eyes are as leisurely as water.
"After I tell you, you have to answer my last question, OK?"
Thinking of the kiss in the carriage, ye Shu left his breath and nodded.
Wen Jinrui lit the Kongming lamp in her hand and saw the sky lamp rising slowly in the night sky.
"My father used to be just an ordinary martial arts man, and my mother was an ordinary medical woman. When the war broke out, my father was captured and exiled at the age of 17. He stumbled and tumbled in the barracks for more than 20 years, and made many achievements. He started as a pawn and finally became a general of the powerful side."
"He returned to his hometown only 20 times in the past 20 years. When I was a child, I could hardly remember what he looked like. Later, after the end of the war, he gave up his reward and returned home. My mother thought our family could live happily together, but that was just the beginning of all nightmares. "
Wen Jinrui said here, his eyes to the sky became dim.
"That year, many people suddenly came to the palace, saying that my father was a famous general and should not be buried in the countryside. He asked us to go to the capital. My father had no choice but to take us to the capital."
"At that time, I didn't understand. Later, I learned that the emperor, who was the prince at that time, wanted to ascend the throne with the help of my father, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't allow my father to resign."
With that, he suddenly stared at Ye Shuli and said, "the eldest princess loves my father, but my father has already married and vowed never to take a concubine in his life. And the emperor ascended the throne with the help of the eldest princess, so he was very lenient to her. "
Then he opened his mouth, but there was a silence.
Remembering the news he had heard from Long Yu in the palace before, ye Shuzhong tightened up slightly: "the eldest princess, she She... "
"She killed my mother."
Looking at Wen Jinrui's cold eyes, ye Shu trembles in his centrifugation.
"She forced my mother to death and married my father by virtue of her kindness to the emperor."
"General Wen is loyal to the emperor. The emperor does this..."
"My father has 500000 military power in his hand. The emperor needs him and forbids him to return to his hometown, but he is afraid of him. So he turned a blind eye to what the eldest princess had done, even adding fuel to the flames. He wanted to bind him with the eldest princess Test his loyalty so that he can't betray. "The emperor's mind is deep and unpredictable.
"He had to accept that if he resisted, our father and son might have already fallen to the ground. My mother has gone But my father has to protect our brother and sister. Later, he took our brother and sister to the frontier. He did not return to Beijing for more than ten years. It was to protect us and also a silent resistance. "
Ye Shuli felt uncomfortable and could not help holding his hand tightly.
Wen Jinrui gently grasped her hand and said softly and firmly: "but I can't stand hiding in the frontier for a lifetime Li I must do it for my mother... "
The voice suddenly stops, and Wen Jinrui's body suddenly becomes stiff. When the warm, wet and soft feeling on her lips leaves, she looks at her closely, her eyes like water.
Ye Shuli's voice trembled a little: "so, as Chu Xiao said, you've been traveling alone for so many years Why did the eldest princess do that to you? "
Wen Jinrui held her in her arms, buried her hair and took a deep breath: "because among our brothers and sisters, my mother and I look the most similar, and the eldest princess hates me the most."
So he still firmly left Wen Heng's umbrella and exposed himself to the crisis. No matter how dangerous he was, he never gave up.
So in the original Never met him.
Ye Shuli didn't speak, just reached out to him.
The night of the rainstorm at the bottom of the cliff flashed through my mind, and my heart suddenly felt extremely painful.
Sky hanging stars, sky lantern has long been flying into the night, no trace, under the moon, red shirt and white robe entangle each other, two people tightly embrace.
