Huo Qubing, who was only twenty years old, was very popular in Chang'an City.
It seemed that following him would mean prosperity, a bright future, and the title of general.
Huo Qubing became more and more arrogant and aggressive in his actions.
Everyone in the court was envious, disgusted, hated, jealous, fawning, and alienated, but no one, no matter the princes or nobles, dared to confront Huo Qubing's sharpness.
On the contrary, Wei Qing is more low-key and cautious.
Wei Qing had been in the army for more than ten years, and he treated his generals like brothers.
The bond he forged with his officers and soldiers on the battlefield of life and death, as well as his prestige of generosity and benevolence, were still as stable as a mountain, unshakable, and the emperor had nothing to do about it.
I was holding a bamboo slip and seemed to be reading it, but in fact my mind was not on it at all.
That day, Huo Qubing caught me crying on Master Jiu's shoulder.
I thought he would be furious with me, but I didn't expect that after the two of them entered the house, he just held me and sat in the darkness, silent and motionless, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture. .
After a long, long time, he gently put me on the couch and lay beside me.
I was really afraid of his silence, so when I was about to speak, he covered my mouth and said, "I don't want to hear anything, sleep well."
There was a trace of nervousness and fear in his tone.
After that day, nothing seemed to have happened to him, and he treated me just like before.
But every night, if he couldn't come to my garden, he would send someone to take me to his mansion.
Because he is often left by the emperor after he goes to court, and he always comes back drunk, so most likely I can only rest in his house.
"Yu'er" Huo Qubing called.
When he entered the house, I didn't notice it at all.
My heart trembled, and I quickly put down the bamboo slip in my hand, "What's going on?"
He sat next to me, "There is a banquet in the palace today.
I" I asked, "I'm going to be drunk again."
He looked at me apologetically, and I said, "It's impossible to make the emperor speechless every time by being drunk."
I handed him a scroll of silk books, and he opened it and took a look, his face as cold as ice, "He actually declared You enter the palace."
The sky is quiet and cool, like a piece of washed blue silk, with a few light floating clouds adding a bit of vividness.
The female relatives who came to the banquet were in small groups, and their laughter and the fragrance of golden osmanthus swayed in the wind.
I leaned against the tree trunk, half raising my head and looking at the sky.
Suddenly I felt that someone's eyes had been fixed on me.
When I lowered my head, I saw a tall, handsome man in rich clothes looking at me intently.
My eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
I looked at him and smiled warmly.
The surprise and doubt in his eyes faded away, joy welled up, and there were faint tears floating in his eyes.
After a while, his expression returned to calm, he looked around calmly, looked at me again, and turned away without saying a word.
Li Yan walked out of nowhere and looked at me with a smile, "Miss Jin seems to have admirers wherever she goes.
A general from the Han Dynasty has a deep love for you.
Now the upstart Guanglu doctor who is in the holy family seems to have a crush on you too."
Tempted.
Not long after Jin Rixi arrived in Chang'an, he heard that he had a good relationship with General Huo because it was General Huo who accepted the surrender of the Huns. " I was shocked, why did it happen to fall into her eyes?
She smiled and glanced at Li Gan in the distance, "Have you lived in the palace for a long time?
It seems that your heart has gradually become only about the men and women within the courtyard wall." .
Don’t always judge other people’s thoughts by your own.”
Li Yan glanced at Li Gan and smiled a little coldly, "Miss Jin seems to have lost a lot of weight."
I replied calmly: "Your Majesty, you look a little haggard."
Li Yan wanted Li Guangli to marry me.
Of course she hated me, but more importantly, she wanted to test the emperor's feelings through my seemingly romantic affair, a non-frontal confrontation with the Wei family.
It's a pity that Liu Che is Liu Che after all.

Although he dotes on her the most in the harem, he still fails to fulfill her wishes.
He does not support Li and suppress Huo, but only acts in his own interests to balance and restrain Huo Qubing's rights.
Li Yan laughed angrily, "It's a foregone conclusion.
If you are willing to kowtow to the princess every day and look up to her, then you will be my concubine.
But Jinyu, why bother?
Your character can bear it.
Why don't you retreat." " Queen Wei walked up to us and asked with a slight smile: "What are you talking about?"
Li Yan hurriedly saluted, and Empress Wei stretched out her hand to help her up, "I heard that you are not in good health recently, so you don't have to do these big gifts all the time in the future.
I flipped through medical books in my spare time and found that the most important thing about health preservation is not to think too much. , let go where it’s time to let go.”
Li Yan said with a smile: "What the elder sister told me is that the younger sister has learned a lesson.
Compared with the older sister, the younger sister is really narrow-minded."
Li Yan glanced at me and said, "The younger sister really admires the elder sister's tolerance.
Don’t care about the past.”
Queen Wei smiled faintly, turned her head and told Aunt Yun: "Jin Yu is not familiar with the palace, please take care of her."
After saying that, she took Li Yan's hand and left, "Several sisters are very curious about your recent creation.
They asked me to tell them about their hairstyle and teach them.”
Aunt Yun gently smoothed down the broken hair on my temples, "You and Qu Bing have both lost weight."
I whispered "Aunt Yun", my heart was full of sourness and I couldn't say a word.
"Since I entered the palace with the Queen, I have seen too many joys and sorrows over the years.
As I get older, my heart has become cold.
I really want to advise you to take a step back.
A man can't help but have three wives and four concubines.
As long as he has you in his heart, it doesn't matter.
It’s rare.
Let’s not talk about the nature of the disease. , but I didn’t expect that your temper would be so stubborn.
After all, it’s not like the emperor wouldn’t let you marry Qu Bing, and besides, his wife is a princess, so you wouldn’t be wronged if you were asked to be my concubine.
If it were any other woman, you would have happily accepted it.
Yes.
I'm still a little annoyed with you.
You are sensible, but you don't know how to advance or retreat in such a complicated environment, which makes everyone embarrassed."
Aunt Yun sighed softly, "When I heard Qu Bing mentioning you, I felt that you were a very uplifting person, but seeing you now.
The way he looked, suddenly felt that everything was nothing .
Perhaps you are more like the dreams of our young daughters, who wish to have the same person and stay together until we grow old together.
But there are few women in the world who can get their wish because of the famous song "Feng Qiu Huang".
Master Sima finally has it.
I lost my new love, but I lost Zhuo Wenjun.”
As soon as Huo Qubing entered the palace, he was surrounded by a group of young generals like stars holding the moon in the moon's arms.
He and I were as far apart as clouds and mud, and it was impossible to sit at the same table.
When he saw Aunt Yun always by my side, he looked relieved. few.
The two of them looked at each other through the lights, the whole court was full of laughter and laughter, and the gold and pearls all faded in our eyes.
At this moment, I felt that we were very close, so close that I could understand thousands of words in his heart, but we were so far away, so far that I couldn't seem to hold his hand no matter how much I stretched out my hand.
Liu Che smiled and said to Huo Qubing: "I have already ordered you to build the best mansion in Chang'an City.
It will be completed soon.
You have a new home, but you still need a mistress."
I lowered my head and played with the wine glass in my hand.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This was a scene I had expected.
It was impossible to avoid it.
I had secretly warned myself countless times, but for some reason my hands were still shaking, and wine beads splashed out.
Falling on the brand new skirt, little by little, wet marks are like the tears of someone leaving.
Maybe I should leave Chang'an tomorrow.
In this place where the emperor and nobles gather, in this largest and most prosperous city, it accommodates people from all over the world, but it cannot accommodate my happiness.
Perhaps it is true as Li Yan said, I belong to the Western Regions, to the desert.
Although there are no peonies and peonies growing in the magnificent courtyards, there are full of thorn grass that can look up at the vast blue sky.
I was thinking about the various benefits of the desert, but the blood in my body was getting colder.
It was so cold that no matter how hard I restrained myself, my whole body was still trembling.
The wine in the glass just kept falling, drop by drop, drop by drop.
The whole table was filled with envy, jealousy and disdain for Huo Qubing, but he was cold and tinged with pain.
Liu Che smiled and looked at the princesses sitting at the table.
Just as he was about to speak, Huo Qubing stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Liu Che, kowtowed heavily, and said with a sound of breaking gold and jade, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.
But I have long had my wish.
The Huns have not been destroyed, so why would I not dare to accept my home as my residence?"
Huo Qubing's words turned out to be a lifelong vow not to marry.
For a moment, there was silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces.
They didn't understand why Huo Qubing, who had always been extravagant, could not accept the rewards he usually received from Liu Che in a mansion, which were much more valuable than the mansion.
For Huo Qubing, who has lived in fine clothes since he was a child, what does fighting the Huns have to do with a mansion?
I looked up at Huo Qubing in shock.
There seemed to be a hint of joy in my heart, but more of it was pain.
Slowly, the joy turned into sadness and pain.
The wine glass in my hand was crushed.
My heart hurt so much that I felt no pain at all in my hand.
I could only feel the warmth in my palm and blood dripping on my skirt.
Fortunately, I was wearing a red dress today.
I could see everything in the shadows.
Not coming out.
Li Yan was surprised and shocked.
Queen Wei frowned slightly, but there was a faint smile on her lips.
Only Liu Che was as calm as before, still looking at Huo Qubing with a smile, "The ancients said that when you start a family, you must first have a family before you can start a career.
You have defeated the Xiongnu, and your achievements are outstanding enough to be famous for thousands of generations.
As for completely annihilating the Xiongnu, even I have never thought of it this way.
I only plan to expel them from Monan and let them escape to Mobei, so that they will no longer be able to invade the grass and trees of my great people."
Huo Qubing looked at Liu Che, his figure was just like this autumn night, with a cool breeze and heavy shadows, "I have made up my mind."
Liu Che stared at Huo Qubing, his eyes as cold as blades, showing his imperial aura.
Under his gaze, everyone lowered their heads, but Huo Qubing still looked at Liu Che with a cold and indifferent expression.
In the extreme silence, the surrounding air seemed to be gelled together, showing more and more oppression.
After a while, Liu Che suddenly burst into laughter, "That's all as you wish.
I will keep the mansion for you until you feel like it."
When the Huns are destroyed, I will give it to you again.”
I slowly exhaled, Liu Che gave in, Huo Qubing won, but what kind of victory was this?
My chest hurt, my eyes were sore, and there were tears filling my eyelashes.

But how could they see through me and see through Huo Qubing?
Looking up at the sky, there was a dim crescent moon in the corner of the sky, and a few glimmering stars.
Tears trickled back into my eyes little by little, but my heart was like a flying dragon, flying lightly.
When we came out, we were already far away from the mountains in an instant, flying towards the desert where we once galloped side by side.
Even if there were pursuers and arrows behind us that day, we were still free.
A sigh seemed to come from a very far distance, and Aunt Yun said faintly: "Qu Bing really means what he says.
No one will marry me if it's not you."
After the dinner, Aunt Yun sent me straight to the palace gate.
Huo Qubing was already waiting beside the carriage, and the two of them stared at each other across the endless crowd of people in the carriage.
My heart is filled with tears, and this night and day seems like a lifetime ago.
Aunt Yun turned around and left quietly without saying a word.
I put away all the emotions in my heart, jumped and waved to him, gave him a bright smile, and ran quickly towards him, regardless of whether there was anyone around, I threw myself directly into his arms, hugged his waist, and whispered : "The food in the palace is not delicious and I am not full.
Go home quickly and ask the cook to cook something delicious for me."
Huo Qubing hugged me tightly and laughed too.
His expression was as cold as the night, but in an instant he changed back to the sunny man he used to be.
"We're going home right now."
The officials passing by did not dare to look too much for fear of causing trouble.
They turned their heads and left in a hurry.
All the civil servants who dared to discuss matters on weekdays showed disdain.
Some people used words that seemed extremely low-key, but they were allowed to be heard by everyone.
The voice hummed: "How can you be so decent in public?"
Only Jin Rixi had no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of smiles and warmth.
Huo Qubing's face turned cold and he looked at the person who was speaking.
The person immediately shrank in fear and then looked like he was definitely not afraid of you.
I held Huo Qubing's hand, smiled at him, wrinkled my nose, and said in a voice that was vaguely audible to everyone: "A mad dog came from nowhere and barked everywhere.
If a person is accidentally bitten by a dog, he must not Go back and bite the beast, let the beast bark for the time being and let us enjoy it."
He also deliberately made a listening expression.
The man wanted to speak, but didn't he show that he was a beast to make us laugh?
He shut up and stared at me angrily.
Huo Qubing smiled and tapped my forehead, led me into the car and left.
I lifted the curtain slightly, took a look outside, and then quickly lowered the curtain.
Huo Qubing asked, "Rixi has recognized you."
"He was very cautious and just looked at me for a moment and then walked away."
Huo Qubing hugged me and leaned on his shoulder, "Because of his love and care for you, I should treat him to a drink."
He suddenly saw the blood on my skirt, his expression changed, and he immediately pulled out my other hand that had been fisted in my sleeve, "What are you?"
His voice was stuck in his throat.
I smiled and wanted to explain, but I couldn't find a suitable excuse.
In fact, I couldn't hide it from him if I had an excuse, so I just looked at him and smiled, telling him not to mind.
Huo Qubing looked at me silently, with pain and self-blame in his eyes.
He gently touched my smile with his fingers, lowered his head and kissed my palm, his lips gently sliding along the wound over and over again.
Qu Bing, I won’t feel wronged if you treat me like this. ――――――――――――――――― "Yu'er, there is a lady who wants to see you."
Hong Gu's expression was so nervous that I didn't dare to look down upon her.
"Who?"
Hong Gu said, "It's Mrs.
Chen."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I was stunned for a moment and realized.
I have been staying in Huo Mansion for the past two days and have not returned to the garden.
As soon as I entered the house today, Young Master Wei came to visit me.
It seemed that she knew my whereabouts very well and deliberately did not want Huo Qubing to know.
I walked to the mirror, looked at myself, turned my head and said to Honggu, "Mrs.
Chen, please come here.
There are so many people outside, it's hard to talk."
However, Honggu did not leave immediately.
She looked at me for a while and then said: "Xiaoyu, I have heard a lot about what happened in the palace.
Why did General Huo refuse to accept the palace given to him by the emperor?
Why did he also say that the Huns were not destroyed?
He Yijia listened to us, although we admired his ambition very much. , but how could the Xiongnu kill them all so quickly?
Is it true that as long as the Xiongnu exists, he will not marry and have children?
General Wei Qing already has three sons, and his wives have changed to two.
One of them is a princess, but Wei Qing has not been seen.
The general cannot go to the battlefield to fight against the Huns."
Before I could answer her, I saw Xin Yan walking into the courtyard with a beautiful middle-aged woman with an aggrieved face.
The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at me with a slight smile, "You are Jinyu, right?
Honggu hasn't come out yet.
I'm afraid that you won't want to see me and will make your own decisions."
I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I'm neglecting you.
I wanted to invite you to come here to talk, it's quieter."
Hong Gu and Xin Yan both bowed to Wei Shao'er and quietly withdrew.
Young Master Wei looked around my room casually, then suppressed his smile, "I don't want to beat around the bush, so I'll tell the truth.
If there is anything that makes the girl uncomfortable, please forgive me."
I smiled and nodded.
When a person's weight is important enough, others will naturally be respectful and cautious when speaking.
In this city of Chang'an, I am just an orphan.
I have to be tolerant even if I don't tolerate it.
It's better to be generous.
"Gongsun Ao once said to me, you don't know the importance of your actions, you are just a coquettish person.
Qu Bing acted improperly in the army.
Instead of dissuading you, you laughed at me.
I felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, even though I had no hope of Qu Bing.
Marrying such a virtuous woman must at least know how to act cautiously and know how to advance and retreat.
There were many scoldings in the court about curing the disease.
As a mother, I listened.
It's very uncomfortable.
I asked the queen what she meant.
To my surprise, she was very supportive and told us not to embarrass you.
The person who can make my sister fall in love is not necessarily what Gongsun Ao thought.
I am here today just as a mother and want to say a few words to you calmly."
Wei Shao'er looked at my expression as he spoke.
I bowed and said, "Madam, please speak.
Jin Yu is all ears."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
A hint of sadness suddenly flashed across her face, "You should all know about Qu Bing's life experience.
Since I did it back then, I'm not afraid to mention it.
I gave birth to him before I was married.
Not long after he was born, his father married Qu Bing lived in the Princess Mansion and grew up with his uncle.
In fact, Qu Bing always wanted a normal home, but now you let him.
She shook her head with a wry smile, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no heirs is the most important.
These are no longer filial piety and unfilial piety.
There are a few twenty-year-old men in Chang'an City who still have nothing to offer.
I am here today just to cure my illness.
"Mom, please think about it again."
She stared at me and said, "I would be very grateful if you could leave."
I stared at the ground in silence.
If it were someone else, I could ignore whatever the other person said.
But this woman is Qu Bing's mother.
Without her, there would be no Qu Bing.
It is his mother who is here earnestly begging me to leave.
Her heart aches every inch of her life, but she dare not let it slip on her face.
Young Master Wei waited for a long time and saw that I was still standing with my head bowed.
"Jinyu, I was once young and frivolous.
It's not that I don't understand you, but people always have to learn to bow to reality."
The door was pushed open with a loud bang, and Huo Qubing strode into the courtyard.
His eyes swept around the faces of me and Wei Shao'er, and he leaned over to salute his mother and asked, "Why are you here, mother?"
Young Master Wei looked at me with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "I have never seen Jin Yu, so I came to see her."
Huo Qubing said: "If mother wants to see Yu'er, just tell me and I will take Yu'er to see mother."
Wei Shao'er was sarcastic and had no suitable words for a while.
I smiled and asked, "Madam is telling me about the newly popular hair bun in Chang'an City.
Do you also want to discuss it together?"
Huo Qubing looked at me and Wei Shao'er inquiringly. , Young Master Wei nodded, "We women always have something to say in private.
I've been out for a long time and I want to go back."
Huo Qubing followed Wei Shao'er to the outside, turned his head and said to me: "I will send mother back home first."
Although it is winter, the sun is still bright and splashing all over the courtyard, but when I look at their backs, my heart feels cold.
"Yu'er, what's the matter with you?
Are you feeling so pale?"
Honggu helped me and asked.
I shook my head, "You sent someone to tell you to go to the hospital."
Hong Gu sighed softly, "Mrs.
Chen appeared in the garden so inexplicably.
What's going on?
You must have to endure it for General Huo.
I'm afraid you will suffer a loss, so as soon as she entered the garden, she secretly sent someone to Huo Huo
.
"
I forced a smile and said: "Mrs.
Chen is a powerless woman.
What loss can I suffer if something like this happens again?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Don't alarm me again.
I can handle it myself."
Wei Shaoer mistakenly thought It was me who delayed seeing her, but secretly informed Huo Qubing, and his disgust with me became even deeper.
Hong Gu hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.
After Hong Gu helped me into the house, she poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to me, "Yu'er, do you know that Shi Fang's family has separated."
I didn't bother drinking tea and immediately asked: "What's going on?"
Honggu said: "Every merchant in Chang'an City is probably talking about this these days.
In a few days, the most powerful stone boat in Chang'an City fell apart.
You don't know that because of the stone boat, the jade in Chang'an City fell apart overnight.
The price has tripled because everyone is afraid that Chen Yu will not be able to manage well.
The medicinal materials have also been rising, but because Lu Feng has Shi Tianzhao, one of Shi Fang's former three shopkeepers, Shi Tianzhao is there.
With Amaterasu's full efforts, the increase in the price of medicinal materials was barely suppressed.
Now, looking at the behavior of Feng, Yu, Lei, and Dian, there is indeed resentment.
They are not polite to each other when fighting for business, and they no longer look after each other.
There are rumors outside that it is because Master Jiu is in poor health and it is difficult to support Shi Fang on his own, and the people below have their own agendas.
Yu'er, do you think we should find a chance to see Master Jiu?"
My heart was burning like fire, but he actually kept his word and really wanted to let go of everything and give up the family business that he had run for many years.
Suddenly it occurred to him that there was something missing in this allocation, and he asked anxiously: "What about Brother Shi and Brother Shi?
Why don't they have business?"
Hong Gu shook her head, "I don't know.
I heard that there was a conflict among them when they were fighting over the distribution of money.
Shi Jinyan was a heartless person and was plotted by the other people.
He left Chang'an City in anger.
Shi Shenxing We were like brothers to him, and our family moved away from Chang'an in sadness and disappointment."
Brother Shi and Brother Shi both left Chang'an City with their families, and it seemed they would never come back.
Where could they go?
Hong Gu asked, "Shall we sell it?"
I was stunned for a while and then said slowly: "Just sell it to Zhang Dian Bar.
The girl from the song and dance studio will follow him.
I feel more at ease."
Honggu nodded, looked around with some suspense, and suddenly said: "I have lived here since I was very young.
I want to keep the back garden where we live, and only sell the front garden to Zhang Dian.
Just build two walls to separate them.”
I thought about it and said, "Okay, the house in front is enough.
The price should be lower.
Zhang Dian probably won't object.
I'm used to living here.
I won't bother to move if I don't leave Chang'an for a day."
Honggu smiled and continued: "You are married, and you are still here?"
As soon as the words came out, she was immediately startled, worried and apologetically called: "Yu'er" I shook my head, "It's okay, I'm not that sensitive and fragile."
Hong Gu silently lost her mind and sighed: "I used to look forward to you picking up a high branch to perch on, so I saw that General Huo was interested in you, but you were lukewarm towards him, so I always looked forward to your day."
If you are tempted, you can marry General Huo, but now I suddenly feel that you are enduring hardship by following him.
This high branch is too narrow and too high, the wind is cold and strong, and there are birds of prey around.
If you can marry an ordinary person, It’s actually better for two people to live happily together than now.”
I held Hong Gu's hand and said, "Having a sister like you who always worries about me makes me happier than most of the girls in the garden.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I'm not that delicate, and the wind and cold mean nothing to me."
Hong Gu smiled and patted my hand, "Since you left, Shi Fang has taken great care of Luo Yufang.
This incident has been widely reported outside.
Do you want to go and have a look?
Please help me and say hello to Master Jiu." " I turned my head and said softly: "I will handle this matter, sister, don't worry." ――――――――――――――― The first snowfall this winter was not very heavy, but intermittent, but never-ending.
It fell for four days in a row, and there was a moderate layer of snow on the roofs and treetops.
The snow on the ground partially melted and combined with the newly fallen snow, slowly formed a layer of ice.
Passers-by often fell to the ground accidentally.
"Sister Yu, are you going or not?"
the former Shi Feng and now the Lu Feng shouted at me.
I whispered: "Why are you still so irritable?
I don't know how you run a business."
Lu Feng sneered, "Of course I'm not like this when I'm doing business.
I'm like this because you are my sister.
But I see that you only want to be Mrs.
Huo now, and you probably don't like my younger brother.
Anyway, my grandfather wants to see you.
If you really don’t want to move, I can only go back and tell grandpa that he will come to see you in person, but I don’t know if you are willing to see him.
Please give me an explanation so that I can explain it clearly to grandpa, so that he will not be in vain.
Take a trip.”
I looked at the snow that was still falling outside the window.
After being silent for a long time, I slowly said: "You go back first, I will go to Shifu later."
Thinking that the old man is lively and happy, I specially picked a red dress to make myself look more energetic.
The carriage pressed on the road, and the sound of cracking ice continued to reach my ears.
How many times have I walked this road, and I have experienced joy and joy, vague expectations, and sadness and despair, but this is the first time that I have been in pain like this today.
Except for Xiao Feng who still lives in Shi Mansion, everyone else has moved out.
The already quiet Shi Mansion has become increasingly lonely.
Everywhere is white and desolate.
I was holding a red umbrella, wearing a red dress, and walking in the snow.
It was funny to think that I was a dazzling light, a little bit of red in the vast white sky.
After passing the front hall and just arriving at the lake, my eyes suddenly lit up.
A large expanse of greenery along the lakeside became more and more lively and cheerful against the backdrop of white snow.
When Shi Fang planted new plants by the lake, he couldn't help but take a second look.
His heart ached.
Suddenly, his eyes became filled with water and he couldn't see clearly ahead.
It seems like a long time ago, like a past life.
One person told me that honeysuckle is also called honeysuckle because it is also green in winter.
He refused to give me another name and did not agree to accompany me to enjoy the flowers.
Who planted the mandarin duck vines by the lake now?
The world was so silent that the sound of snowflakes falling on the umbrella was clearly audible.
I stood silently in front of the mandarin duck vine.
What was on my mind back then has long since become empty.
Tears fell drop by drop on the leaves of the mandarin duck vine, and the leaves bent together, and the water drops made small holes in the snow.
After a long time, the leaves no longer trembled.
I raised my head and smiled hard in front of me.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I kept my smile and turned around and walked towards the bridge.
A man wearing a wide-brimmed green bamboo hat and a swallow-green coir raincoat was sitting on the ice fishing.
The snowflakes were flying, and his vision was blurry.
He was dressed like this, and his face and figure could not be seen clearly.
He guessed that it must be Amaterasu, so he did not walk on the bridge and crossed directly across the lake with a red umbrella.
The ice surface was very smooth, so I walked carefully.
It was not a long distance, but it took a long time.
A hole as big as the mouth of a bucket was dug in the lake.
The fishing rod was placed on the shelf.
The fisherman put his hands in his coir raincoat and a pot of wine beside him.
He looked very relaxed and comfortable.
"Brother Shi, the light snow is flowing, the cold lake is cold.
Fishing alone is so elegant.”
He heard the sound and looked up at me.
My smile froze and I stood there, neither moving forward nor retreating.
However, Master Jiu smiled warmly and said softly as if he was not worried: "We are waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Come over slowly and don't scare them away."
I stood blankly for a while, walked lightly, walked to him, and whispered: "I'm going to see grandpa.
Thank you for letting Xiaodian take over the song and dance studio.
If you don't want to run Shifang anymore, You can do whatever you want, but if you do it because of me, it’s not necessary.”
But he didn't seem to hear what I said.
He just pointed to a small stool next to him and said, "Sit."
I stood still and Master Jiu glanced at me, "Why are you still wearing so little?
I'm going to go back too, let's walk together."
He slowly put away the fishing rod and reached for the crutches that were half submerged in the snow.
He just took the crutches and stood up, but unexpectedly the crutches slipped on the ice and he was about to fall to the ground.
I reached out to help him.
I was still holding the umbrella in one hand, but I panicked and failed to use my strength with the other hand.
My feet were slippery and swaying as if they were oiled, and the two of them were holding on precariously.
But Master Jiu didn't care about himself at all, he just stared at me, suddenly smiled, threw away his crutch, held my arm, and dragged me into his arms.
I was dragged along by him, and before I could even utter a exclamation, the two of them had already fallen down.
On the ice.
The umbrella also flew away and rolled away along the ice.
With our bodies pressed against each other and our faces facing each other, it was the first time that Master Jiu was so close to me.
My body felt hot for a while and cold for a while.
Snowflakes fell on my face, and he reached out to brush them away for me.
I turned my head to avoid it, but he touched my cheek without giving in.
I couldn't avoid it, and asked with a cry: "Nine "Master, what do you want, we can no longer do it, I" He put his index finger lightly on my lips, shook his head with a smile, and made a silent expression, "Yu'er, nothing is impossible.
I will never let go this time.
Huo Qubing treats you well, and I will treat you better." , Huo Qubing can't marry you at all, but I can.
Huo Qubing can't take you out of Chang'an City, but I can Yes.
I can give you what he can give you, and I can give you what he can't give you, so Yu'er, you should marry me."
There was a smile on his lips, but a look of pain in his eyes.
Without hesitation, "Next summer, the mandarin duck vines by the lake will bloom.
This time we will definitely be able to enjoy the flowers together."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to remove his index finger.
He just picked it up, but put it down again, and gently stroked it on my lips.
With reluctance and nostalgia, his dark eyes became a bit ambiguous, and he slowly lowered his head and kissed me.
I dodged and pushed him, but my hands were shaking so much that I had no strength, and the two of them were entangled in the snow.
His lips brushed my cheek for a while, and my forehead for a while, and our bodies rolled on the ice.
Suddenly I heard a soft crunching sound on the ice beneath me.
I glanced around and saw that the hole where I had been fishing was rapidly opening.
I was shocked.
The ice could no longer support the weight of the two of them.
In my desperation, I could only think of absolute Don't let Master Jiu get into trouble.
Everything else has been forgotten.
I bit him hard on the neck, leaving a trace of fishy sweetness in his mouth.
He snorted, and the strength in his arms suddenly became much weaker.
I pushed him out with both hands, but I was pushed away in the opposite direction.
I slid on the ice toward the hole.
The ice next to the hole was hit and shattered faster, and my body quickly fell into the cold lake water.
I tried my best to float up, but the slippery ice had no strength at all.
In the bone-chilling cold, my arms and legs soon became inoperable.
There was another undercurrent under the lake, and I was quickly taken away from the ice cave.
All I could see in my eyes was a layer of solid ice above my head, and there was no way to escape.
I seemed to hear Master Jiu's extremely sad voice.
Huo Qubing's smile appeared in my eyes as my eyes gradually turned black.
I said silently in my heart, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, maybe the princess is a very good woman.
At first, there was still a feeling of swelling and pain in my chest, but after I held my breath for a long time, my consciousness gradually became unclear.
There was no coldness or pain in my whole body, just a light and airy feeling, as if I was about to fly.
Suddenly, my hand was tightly held, and someone hugged me.
His lips came to my lips, and he slowly gave me a breath.
My mind cleared up for a while, but my body started to hurt again.
I managed to open my eyes.
Jiuye's dark eyes were shining brightly in the water.
He was filled with warmth when he looked at me, but his face was as pale as death from the cold, and his arms were wrapped around each other.
Holding the fishhook line, he was tugging hard on the fishing line and moving it against the current towards the entrance of the cave.
The fishing line got into his arm inch by inch, blood flowed out, and clouds of crimson smoke floated around us.
His movements became slower and slower, his face was pale and purple, but the ice cave was still far away from us.
I begged him with my eyes to leave me alone and leave with my fishing line, but his eyes looked at me firmly and unchanged, conveying a few simple words: Either we live together or we die together.
I was sad and angry, how could you do this?
What I just did was not all in vain.
My heart was filled with sadness and despair.
No longer able to hold on, my mind sank into darkness and I fainted completely. ――――――――――――――――――― It was snowing all over the day, and the whole world was freezing, but I was so hot that I was sweating, and my mouth was thirsty.
I was so anxious that I couldn't think of anything.
When I suddenly woke up, I realized that I was covered with a thick quilt.
The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly, and the people looked like they were in a steamer.
I wanted to sit up, but my body was very stiff and difficult to move.
I tried all my strength and could only move my arms.
Huo Qubing, who was napping on the side of the couch, woke up immediately with a look of ecstasy on his face, "You finally woke up."

I thought I would never see him again, but when I saw his smile again, I felt uncomfortable and happy at the same time.
I said in a hoarse voice: "It's so hot and thirsty."
He quickly got up and poured me some water, and held me in his arms.
"Please feed me some water," the doctor said.
"You are very cold and your body is soaked with cold poison.
You must cover your body for a few days.
Fortunately, you are in good health and you have recovered from a high fever.
If it had been any other woman, you would not have died."
Half a life will be lost.”
His voice was also a little hoarse.
I looked at his haggard face and my eyes were sore.
"How many days have I been sick and you have been staying here?
I will get better.
Why don't you have a good sleep?"
He caressed my cheek and said, "I couldn't sleep for three days and two nights.
This morning, after your fever subsided, I felt relieved."
I was thinking about Master Jiu, and wanted to ask but didn't dare.
I murmured: "How was I rescued?"
How could I hide my little thoughts from Huo Qubing?
He was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Meng Jiu fixed the fishing rod on the tree trunk and slowly moved it to the crack in the ice with the help of the fishing line.
The guards of Shifu also appeared.
We were in time and saved both of you.
Meng Jiu was wearing a cold-proof fox armor and entered the water later than you.
He suffered some injuries on his arm and lost a lot of blood.
He has been feeling much better in the past two days.
I’ll definitely come see you later.”
Only then did I realize that this room was actually my previous room in the Bamboo House.
"Why are we here?"
Huo Qubing smiled lightly and said, "Meng Jiu said that you are not very cold and are not suitable for the bumpy movement of the carriage.
I invited the best doctor in the palace to come with the same excuse, so I can only recuperate here first.
Yu'er, what are you doing?
You will lose your footing and fall into an ice cave.”
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only whisper: "I'm sorry, I will be careful in the future."
He suddenly hugged me tightly and said, "Yu'er, promise me, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future, absolutely not."
Seeing his haggard face and hoarse voice, I felt pain in my chest, and I could only nod my head desperately.
The door was gently pushed open, Xiaofeng pushed Jiu Ye in, raised his head and glared at Huo Qubing, then quietly turned around and went out.
One of Jiuye's arms was tightly wrapped and hung diagonally on his chest.
He looked pale, looked directly at Huo Qubing and said, "I want to take a pulse."
Huo Qubing moved his body and got out of the way, but still let my head rest in his arms.
Master Jiu stared at Huo Qubing and wanted to speak.
I looked at him hurriedly and begged, "Let me see how long it will take to get better.
I can't move like this and it's so hot.
It's really uncomfortable."
Master Jiu felt a pain on his face and nodded lightly.
Huo Qubing took my arm out of the quilt with a smile on his face.

Master Jiu quietly checked my pulse for a while and then turned his head to look at my face carefully.
I suddenly felt Huo Qubing's body tremble slightly, and looked at him in surprise, only to see his eyes staring straight at Master Jiu's neck, and the row of fine tooth marks on it were still clear.
He looked at me with doubt and disbelief in his eyes.
My heart was beating so fast that I didn't dare to look at him and looked away in panic.
Huo Qubing sat stiffly, a slight chill came from his body.
I felt cold again when I felt hot.
Master Jiu stretched out his hand to touch my forehead in surprise.
Huo Qubing quickly opened his hand with a wave of his hand.
Asked coldly: "When can we leave?"
I looked at Master Jiu pleadingly.
Master Jiu looked at me with an ugly face and couldn't bear the pity in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "The cold is almost gone.
I can find a carriage and lay out a few more layers of quilts.
I should be able to send Yu'er away."
Go back."
As soon as Huo Qubing carried me into the carriage, he bit me hard on the neck, causing blood to flow out.
I bit my lip tightly and endured the pain in my neck and heart without saying a word.
He suddenly looked up at me, his lips stained with my blood burning like fire, and his eyes were blazing with anger.
He stared at me steadily, as if he was asking me for a denial, a confession, a promise.
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I couldn't say a word.
There was pain, anger, and hurt in his eyes.
He lowered his head and kissed my lips roughly, and used his tongue to pry my mouth open.
Blood spread between their lips and tongues, and the blood was slightly sweet
