The town is not big, but it is very clean. There is only one inn, and the big signboard flag is very eye-catching. The four words "Shunfeng Inn" on it are written powerfully. Although it is a little clumsy, it is not bad in momentum and flutters in the wind.
It was almost dusk, it was raining a little, the chill was getting thick, and there were very few people walking on the street.
"Master, there seems to be only this inn in this town. Should we stay here?" He Ming asked softly, "It looks quite clean. This place is some distance from the capital. If we rush back, we may not be able to make it in time. Otherwise,
Let’s take a rest here first?”
Sima Xichen nodded, "Okay, I'll make peace with you as soon as you come."
After four years of fighting, Sima Xichen has become accustomed to surviving in many harsh environments. Even though he is now the emperor who is more important than ten thousand people, he still remains as usual.
Sitting down at the empty table by the window, listening to the sound of autumn rain outside, Sima Xichen felt a little lonely. For four years, missing Ye Fan had become his greatest comfort. Now he suddenly met her, and the time he met her
Such an accident made him feel a little helpless for a moment. But knowing that she was alive became his greatest peace of mind in this life. So what if the person he loved could stand alive in front of him, even if she no longer cared about him?
As long as she is well, anything will be fine.
"Shopkeeper, are there any rooms left?" a voice came from outside.
Hearing this voice in Sima Xichen's ears, it was like a thunder exploded in his heart. It was such a coincidence that they met in the same place not long after they broke up. He stood up and looked at Ye who was talking to the shopkeeper.
Fan, however, stood there in astonishment. It was Ye Fan who spoke, but there was another person with Ye Fan, Su Qingmin.
He hasn't seen this person for a long time.
Su Qingmin was talking to Ye Fan with a smile, and his voice floated gently into Sima Xichen's ears, sounding very harsh. "Xiaofan, how long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?"
"We'll just stay for a while and then leave." Ye Fan smiled and said, "You really don't have a long memory. I have told you many times that you are not allowed to call me Xiaofan again, but you still can't remember. How are you, brother Qinghuai?"
"It's surprising that he's so good." Su Qingmin said with a smile, "Unless you agree to marry him, don't think about him being good. By the way, where did you go in the past few years? If you weren't - Huang, -"
As he was talking, Su Qingmin raised his head and saw Sima Xichen, and was startled. Even though Sima Xichen was wearing casual clothes at this time, he still couldn't hide his outstanding and aristocratic aura.
Indescribable domineering and heroic spirit.
Ye Fan heard the sound and glanced sideways at Sima Xichen. He was a little stunned and blurted out: "It's such a coincidence. I should have thought that this road is the only shortcut to the capital."
Sima Xichen felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. He thought that it turned out that Ye Fan had been in contact with the Su brothers for a long time, but he hid it from himself. Could it be that in Ye Fan's mind, he was really insignificant? On the face of it, he was really insignificant.
He tried his best to smile and said, "Yes, it's really a coincidence."
Su Qingmin stood aside. Although he was shocked in his heart, he did not dare to be careless about etiquette. After all, Sima Xichen is the current emperor. Everyone has recognized his identity and knows that he is a descendant of Sima Rongyin. Now he has
A country becomes a king or loses a bandit, this principle remains unchanged throughout the ages. Although he did not attend his coronation ceremony in person, he knew that he had become the emperor.
"Su Qingmin has seen the emperor——" He bowed respectfully.
"That's all." Sima Xichen waved his hand and said calmly, "It's a lot of inconvenience outside. It's okay not to call me. Long time no see."
Su Qingmin nodded, "I have been doing business with my elder brother and rarely come home. Now the capital has moved to, oh, no, moved to, this is the capital -" He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
Now the capital city is on the old site of Aolin Villa, which was originally Sima Rongyin's old residence. Aolin Villa has returned to the place where it was first built. He wanted to say that the capital city has been moved to the new location, but he suddenly thought that if he said this
Didn't his words also indicate that the capital he said was the original home of the Li family? He was a little embarrassed, so he had to blush and shut up.
Ye Fan couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "I'm not nervous. If you are so nervous, if you keep talking like this, I'm afraid you really can't explain it. Emperor, - it's really hard to call you in such a situation.
"
Sima Xichen smiled faintly and said quietly: "How could it be so difficult for you to say it? Whatever you called me before, you will call me now."
Ye Fan smiled, concealed his emotions, and said lightly: "If I were really stupid enough to call today's - by his name, I would really be a little impatient."
"Let's eat together." Su Qingmin changed the subject. The man in front of him was not only the current emperor, but also Ye Fan's husband. Under such circumstances, it was somewhat inappropriate. He came here just to stay in the palace.
What to do? A private visit incognito? Didn't he hear their conversation just now?
"Okay." Sima Xichen smiled and said to the waiter, "Go and get some good wine. We are going to have a good drink."
Several people sat down, and Ye Fan had to admit that in terms of momentum, Sima Xichen was far superior to everyone present. She sat down, just opposite Sima Xichen. Su Qingmin was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment.
Sitting among others, He Ming naturally did not sit at the table. He stayed far away and sat alone at another table.
"Well, you don't have to be so formal. There are no outsiders at this time, so let's sit together." Sima Xichen looked at He Ming and said lightly. Then he looked up at Ye Fan and said quietly, "Remember us?"
Was it the first time the two of them drank together? Mr. Su was also present at that time. Except for the absence of Mr. He, the situation was really the same as before. "
Su Qingmin smiled and said: "Of course I remember, at that time Brother He and I thought that Miss Ye was a slave of Prince Ye's Mansion, and we made a joke. By the way, Brother He is so good now, he should be an official in the court, right?
"
Sima Xichen nodded and said, "Yes."
He Ming poured wine for the three of them and secretly glanced at Ye Fan, who was wearing men's clothing. He just listened to the three people chatting and realized that the man in plain clothes in front of him was Ye Fan, who had been missing for four years. It seemed that she had changed.
It's not big, but it looks really good in men's clothing.
Sima Xichen picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Here, let's drink to the chance to meet again." After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass. He Ming immediately poured him a glass, and he drank it again, and so on.
Back and forth, I drank three cups in a row.
Su Qingmin smiled and drank it all in one gulp.
Watching Sima Xichen drink cup after cup, Ye Fan was a little stunned. She knew that Sima Xichen had always had a good drinking capacity, but he drank in such a way that she was not expecting it. Isn't he now in high spirits? Why is he like this? She
Holding the wine glass and wondering whether to drink it, Sima Xichen and Su Qingmin had already drank several glasses in a row.
After finishing their meal with their own thoughts, the group went back to their rooms to rest.
