Smelling the fragrance, Zhan Ye also raised his head, and happened to see her. Their eyes met unexpectedly. Zhan Ye did not expect to see her suddenly, and all the defenses he had built up in his heart almost collapsed.
However, he has always been a person who keeps his emotions and anger secret, with a cold and resolute personality. Even if there are thousands of changes in his heart, he can still remain calm on the surface.
He originally raised his head to find the source of the plum fragrance, so after his eyes met hers, he naturally moved away and glanced at the palace wall behind her. He didn't see anything before turning his eyes back again.
He looked at her again, but deliberately avoided her clear eyes.
Huang Beiyue also looked at him. Both of their expressions were very calm, not unnatural at all, as if they met each other every morning.
Without any further politeness, both of them nodded slightly, politely and distantly, and then Zhan Ye led the others into the hall first.
Huang Beiyue looked at Zhan Ye's back with some confusion. He didn't treat her with a cold look, didn't complain at all, and didn't have any strong responsibility. He just nodded so politely, but it already made her feel that everything in the past was far away from her.
It's getting further and further away.
At the bank of the Jade River, the young man in brocade and black robes drank a glass of water with her and said to her: "I will drink the water of the Mother River with you. I hope you can return to this land one day."
"
Drink the water of the same river together, drink the water of the mother river, and you will definitely come back again.
She has come back.
He brought Nanyi Country a vast territory and supreme glory, but took away the sister he had cared for and loved since childhood.
'I wish you could come back.'
Maybe if time goes back, Zhan Ye will regret saying such words to her, and he won't want her to come back.
He walked numbly into the main hall. The emperor was sitting on a dragon chair. The hall was solemn and bright, and the civil and military officials stood in an orderly manner, shouting long live.
She knelt down with the others and shouted long live in a numb manner. She knew that the person standing next to her was Zhan Ye, and that familiar, slightly cold aura was close to her, but it seemed so far away.
She heard Zhan Ye's deep voice, flat and cold, without any emotion.
The emperor announced that he was level, and all the ministers stood up, and she stood up too. The emperor was very happy, stood up from the dragon chair, walked two steps and sat back down. His eyes were obviously looking at her, but she lowered her head.
The emperor said a lot, but she didn't listen. Next, the eunuch began to write rice paper, commending and canonizing the meritorious soldiers.
From the moment the eunuch's voice sounded, there was a buzzing in her ears, as if something exploded, so that she could hear nothing. The only thing she could hear was her own calm breathing.
"Prince Ning, why don't you thank me?" Some kind-hearted minister behind him patted her on the shoulder and whispered.
Huang Beiyue finally came back to her senses and mechanically knelt down to thank her.
"Beiyue, this time you have made outstanding military achievements and won the Xirong Kingdom and the Dongli Kingdom for me. This is a great achievement. I grant you a wish. You can ask for anything and I will fulfill it for you." The emperor's face was rosy.
, looking very energetic, stroking his beard and saying with a smile.
As soon as the emperor's words came out, all the ministers were in an uproar.
Any wish? If Prince Ning opens his mouth and dares to go beyond the bounds, what should we do?
Huang Beiyue's face was calm, and she didn't smile at all from the time she came in until now.
