The next day, after several consecutive days of rain, it turned out to be rare good weather.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the Taiwei's Mansion was already being swept with joy, and silk lanterns were hung up. On a cloudless summer day, the morning sun emitted a dazzling golden light, which fell on the green bamboos all over the courtyard.

, it’s really green.

When Li Sui went to visit Yang Chongyuan and his wife, he, accompanied by his father Li Zhang, took a carriage and headed for the royal Yuqing Temple.

After the rain in the early morning, the Yuqing Temple carries a lightness that is not seen in the world. Far away at the foot of the mountain, you can hear the lingering sound of bells and chimes on the top of the mountain.

When the carriage circled up the path and stopped under the stone steps of Yuqing Temple, my father's gentle voice came to my ears.

"Aman."

Nian Nu quickly and cleverly opened the car curtain and got out of the car, and helped Li Sui out together with Yu Nu in the car.

In the lush green forest, the crisp chirping of birds could be heard constantly. Li Sui and Li Zhang climbed up the stairs and paid homage to the real treasure ministers in each hall, and then they walked familiarly along the path towards a more quiet place.

Go to the courtyard.

When they arrived at the place, they saw secret guards with knives hiding around the courtyard, bowing respectfully to the two of them. Eichun, who was wearing a dark blue plain robe, was waiting in the corridor. When he saw the person coming, he came over with a smile.

"My lord, the princess."

Li Sui stepped forward to hold Huichun's body and lift him up, speaking in a very friendly tone.

"Chun Niang, please wake up quickly."

Huichun nodded, stood up, and then said: "Master Yuzhen is doing his morning homework at the moment. He will be fine soon. Please ask the Duke and Princess to wait in the side room."

"It doesn't matter, this view is quiet and quiet, we can just wait in this courtyard."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Huichun agreed and immediately cleared up the stone table and benches under a wisteria flower stand in the courtyard. After the father and daughter sat down, he brought two cups of tea.

"This is picked from the tea trees in the back mountain, and the snow water accumulated under the flower roots last year is used. Although it is simple, it is all done by the immortal master himself."

After listening to Huichun's words, Li Sui took a sip. Although the tea was not as delicate as those expensive teas, it had an aroma that was not stained by fireworks.

"Immortal Master Yuzhen, it's okay -"

In the silence, her father's voice sounded. Li Sui looked sideways and saw Li Zhang holding the teacup in his hand. He seemed to be asking calmly, but she could hear the unspeakable deep thoughts.

In childhood memories, my father and mother were in harmony, and the years were peaceful. At that time, my mother would always hold her in her arms and wait under a wisteria trellis where her father would pass by, telling her poems and singing nursery rhymes.

Whenever Chao's father appeared in the corridor, a smile that was more beautiful than flowers would always appear in her mother's eyes. What she was waiting for was not only her father, but also her favorite candy cake.

Thinking about it now, Li Sui felt that her mother at that time was not a noble and glorious princess in front of her father, but a child, a child who was pampered and pampered.

Nowadays, those tender scenes are still before my eyes, but those feelings no longer exist.

It can be seen that no matter how beautiful the love, no matter how sincere the feelings, the moment the late emperor passed away, and the Yang and Li families were no longer scrupulous, monopolizing power, evading the emperor step by step, and treating the emperor as a puppet, it began to fragment and turn into

Dusty.

Therefore, when she was seven years old, her mother resolutely chose to leave, give up her identity as a princess, and was willing to be the Yuzhen Immortal Master who chants sutras and eats vegetarian food.

"Master Immortal is still the same as before. He does his morning and evening homework every day. He takes care of these flowers and plants on weekdays. Occasionally he plays chess alone or goes to the back mountain——"

After Huichunfang said a few words, he heard the door behind him being opened with a "squeak--". The three people in the courtyard heard the sound and looked around, only to see a man wearing Xuanqing Taoist robes and binding his hair with a wooden hairpin.

The cold beauty stood behind the door, her beautiful eyes still shining, but her lively smile was gone. However, she scanned the courtyard calmly, and when she touched Li Zhang's slightly trembling eyes, she also

It just passed by calmly like a flying dragon and turned inside, leaving only the thin and cold figure behind.

"Princess, please——"

Hearing Huichun's voice, Li Sui looked at his father beside him and saw him lowering his eyes, finally putting down the tea cup in his hand, and said calmly: "Go ahead."

Li Sui took a deep look at his father, said nothing, turned around and walked into the room under Huichun's guidance.

The door behind him was closed again, and everything in front of him remained unchanged. It was simple and plain, but it could bring people a sense of tranquility.

After a lifetime, he could now look at his mother who was sitting on the lower back, looking at her softly. Li Sui felt almost uncontrollable excitement and sorrow in his heart. His eyes were slightly hot, and he was about to shed tears.

She arranged her dress with bare hands, stepped forward and knelt down respectfully, gently touched her head to the ground, and bowed, but a drop of tear fell silently on the bright mirror-like floor tiles.

At this moment, the mother does not know that they have not seen each other for many years.

"Auntie——"

Hearing the almost inaudible choking in the girl's words, Mrs. Chen's heart froze as she knelt there. She couldn't help but turn her head, closed her eyes silently, and forced herself to hold down the emotions surging in her chest. After a long time, she looked back and tried to hold on.

He smiled slightly and said gently: "Get up."

When the young lady stood up straight, she gently touched the cushion beside her with her hand.

"Come."

Li Sui walked forward calmly, twirling her skirt and kneeling down next to Mrs. Chen.

Chen's eyes were soft and he looked at the girl's appearance carefully. After a long time, he finally raised his hand holding the sandalwood beads and gently stroked the girl's face.

"Aman has grown up again."

After finishing her words, Mrs. Chen still had a smile on her lips, and then she took out a red pouch and said: "I don't have anything else here, so I can only give you an amulet every year to keep you safe and smooth."

Li Sui took the thing, and she knew that this seemingly small thing must have been painted by her mother, Master Qiuguan Zhongyuqing, and was offered in front of the shrine and prayed every day.

Li Sui put the amulet into his sleeve and bowed respectfully.

"Today is the time for Aman to thank Auntie for raising me."

After hearing this, looking at the smiling face of a girl who was just like him, Chen smiled lightly on his lips, gently stroked the girl's bun, and murmured.

"I don't hope for anything else, I just hope that you will be safe..."

Chen didn't finish her words, but Li Sui didn't know what he meant. Looking at his mother's forced smile, he felt depressed and didn't know how to go back.

"I also hope that grandma will cherish her jade body——"

"Okay, go back, today is a good day for you, everyone is waiting for you."

When the hands holding him were put down, Li Sui raised his head, trying to take the appearance of the person in front of him deeply into his heart.

Every year on her birthday, she would come to Yuqing Temple to worship. Looking at her mother's soft features, she could not help but feel greedy. No one knew how many times she wanted to ask her mother to return to Chang'an City, even if she could spend another birthday with her.

, but she knew that even if she opened her mouth, all she would get was rejection. So in her previous life, until her mother passed away, she never spent a day of family happiness with her mother.

"Mom, take care."

After giving a deep bow, Li Sui walked out of the room and saw his father still sitting under the flower stand. Although Huichun stood beside him, he looked so lonely and lonely.

Over the years, compared to the Taiwei's mansion, which has many wives and concubines, my father's mansion has been relatively lonely.

Everyone knows that his father, Li Zhanggui, is the son of the Li family in Longxi, and he is now in great power with Yang Chongyuan. Although he carries the title of Prince Consort of Qinghe, his mother was born in the world, and the two have long been divorced. Now, it has been nine years since the mother left, and even though his father has

It is not allowed to remarry the main wife. It is reasonable to marry several side wives and take in several concubines.

But only Li Sui knew that his father never wanted to marry again throughout his life.

In front of my mother, my father is a ruthless person.

In front of the world, my father is an infatuated person.

"Let's go."

His father's voice rang in his ears. Li Sui nodded, exchanged a few words with Huichun, and walked out.

After leaving Yuqing Temple, the sound of bells and chimes was still lingering in the distance. As he walked down the stairs, Li Sui was about to step onto the carriage with help, but he vaguely saw a familiar figure. She stepped back slightly.

He looked through the wall of the carriage at the guards following the carriage.

"Aman?"

His father's voice rang in his ears. Li Sui glanced at it hastily, then finally looked away and got on the carriage.

After walking out for a long time, Li Sui was still leaning on the pillow, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she forgot about Nian Nu and Yu Nu serving at the side, but the figure became clear in her mind bit by bit, condensing into one person.

King Yuling, Zhao Yi.

…

It was already noon when he returned to the palace. Li Sui was served a meal and only took a short nap. Then he was awakened to prepare for the night banquet in the palace.

Surrounded by the maids, she bathed and dressed herself up. She wore a long bun and decorated it with small but delicate pearls. Then she put on the 18-year-old flower skirt, which made her look even more gorgeous. The goose-yellow flower between her eyebrows added a few more

Very girly and charming.

While Li Sui was looking at himself in the mirror, he heard Nian Nu opening the curtain and walking in with a smile and saluted: "Princess, Lord Sanlang is here and is waiting for you by the bamboo forest outside the house."

The girl's eyes in the mirror moved slightly, she reached out and smoothed the beaded flower beside her hair, then stood up and walked out of the house.

It's early June now, but the midday sun is a bit warm. Through the green bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves cast mottled shadows.

The man was wearing a brocade robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves made of green bamboo. He stood behind the bamboo forest with his hands behind his hands. He seemed to sense Li Sui's approaching footsteps, and Yang Che's sighing voice sounded from the forest.

"I originally thought that you and I have not changed, but when I saw the scratches on the bamboo branches, I realized that we have actually grown a lot taller."

After saying that, Yang Che turned his head. Different from Yang Yan's gentle and warm smile, Yang Che's smile was more like sunshine, dazzling and free and easy.

Having seen the King of Luoyang with deep eyes and sophisticated actions on the city wall, looking at Yang Che in front of him now, Li Sui felt a bit like he was in another world.

Thinking of that palace incident, I was afraid that Yang Che would never have guessed in her previous life that she would take advantage of the opportunity when her son was mourning in the imperial mausoleum to send the jade seal and tiger charms with Zi Palace to the border far away under his nose.

In the hands of King Yuling.

Now that he recalled Yang Che's furious appearance, it seemed to overlap with the young man in his memory. Li Sui couldn't help but feel disappointed. Following Yang Che's gaze just now, he saw the green bamboo branch next to him printed with

One scratch after another.

When she was seven years old, she became depressed and unhappy because of her mother's decisive departure. She didn't like to talk to others. Except for her father, she was a servant in the whole house. Only when her father went to court to accompany her every day could she temporarily forget the sadness of losing her mother. Later.

The aunt took pity on her, so she discussed with her father and brought her into the Taiwei Mansion to live with several brothers and sisters so that she would not be lonely.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, she saw everyone gathering together at the banquet, but she was the only one with her father. So after the banquet, she quietly returned to the yard and held the dress her mother had worn in her arms, carefully

I looked at it carefully and touched it carefully, as if I could feel my mother's warm embrace. I huddled alone in the corner and cried for a long time.

Now she still remembers that Yang Che, who was only a few months older than her, quietly followed her, gently wiped her tears with silk, and said to her with an unprecedented seriousness: "Aman, aunt

Although I can't be with you, you still have us, and brother A and I will always be with you."

After saying that, the little boy pulled her and ran to the front of the court. He pulled out a delicate dagger from nowhere and made a deep mark on the bamboo branch according to his own size. He turned around and said, "I will accompany you from now on."

, if you don’t believe it, then I will come here every year until your birthday to make a mark.”

The boy's words were still in her ears. Li Sui stroked the bamboo branch. The first scratch was still within her reach, but today's new scratch was already within her reach when she raised her hands and tiptoed.

From the day he made the promise, Yang Che never broke his promise. Later, Yang Che said with a smile that if he stopped growing taller, this green bamboo would probably be cut off by him as the years passed.

However, a joke is a joke after all. When Yang Yan became emperor and she became queen, and Yang Che, who was privately raising an army in Luoyang, met her, the promise was never fulfilled.

At that time, in order to help Yang Yan secure the throne, she killed powerful ministers and pacified the harem. She thought that from then on, she would be able to assist Yang Yan in expanding his territory and achieving great things.

She never thought that the spy she sent to the fiefdom would send her a secret message, telling her that Yang Che, who was far away in Luoyang, was winning people's hearts and hiding armor, and was becoming more and more popular. She had been told by her ears and eyes since she was a child that she would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

.

Therefore, she planned to take advantage of Yang Yan's longevity banquet and the kings' visit to the capital to test Yang Che. Once the charges were proven, she was determined to get rid of Yang Che.

But she never thought that Yang Yan didn't know how she knew about this. Not only did she dislike her for secretly planting spies around the kings, but she was also wary of her murderous intention towards Yang Che, her younger brother.

For half a month, Yang Yan ate and lived with Yang Che, and did not teach Yang Che to stay away from him, leaving her unable to do anything. Finally, in the early morning of one day, she sent Yang Che to secretly escape from the palace.

Even if she knew about this, she sent people to chase him all the way. Yang Che fled eastward in panic, but she missed the opportunity and let him return to Luoyang.

In the end, the facts told her that she had done nothing wrong.

Yang Che is indeed rebellious.

"Originally, I didn't understand. These flower skirts are like rag skirts. Those little ladies don't look that good when wearing them. How come they have been fashionable in Chang'an for so long. I just saw you wearing them today.

You know, this is the same as a sword matching a hero."

Hearing Yang Che's words, Li Sui smiled softly. The next moment, the person in front of him stretched out his hand and opened his palm. There was a small brocade box lying quietly on it.

At Yang Che's signal, Li Sui opened the box, and instantly a fragrant but not cloying fragrance came. He saw a palm-sized piece of jade in the box. The color was simple and mellow, and it didn't look like high-quality jade.

Such an amazing appearance.

But it exudes a delicate fragrance, which makes people feel comfortable when sniffing it. When you put it in your hand, it has the feeling of warm and cool skin that can be broken by a girl's blow.

"This jade tool contains the aura of all things and the essence of nature. People who wear it will feel that it can eliminate pain and sorrow, and it has the protective effect of turning bad luck into good luck. It is also a good sign if you wear it next to your body in the future."

Hearing this, Li Sui raised his head and touched Yang Che's smiling eyes. He squeezed the jade in his hand tightly and said with a smile: "Okay."

After saying that, he handed the jade to the jade slave behind him and put it on carefully for her.

"I heard that my brother gave you both Duan Inkstones given by Aye. Please tell me, which one is better than my gift or my brother's."

Looking at the playful eyes in front of him, Li Sui smiled on his lips and said playfully: "If I say good things about Erlang, what will happen if you don't give me good things in the future? But if I say good things about you,

I'm afraid Erlang will be like this too. No matter how you calculate it, I will have a lot less treasures in the future, so in my opinion, the more the merrier is the best."

Yang Che's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, and then he turned into a smile. He looked at the person in front of him quietly, but suddenly he reached out his hand to the girl's forehead, rubbed it with his palm, and deliberately messed up the girl's bun.

"You are very greedy for money."

Looking at the young man who was as bright as the summer sun in front of him, Li Sui still didn't understand why he eventually turned into such a wolfish and ambitious person.
