At Yunqiao's birthday party, friends played happily all night long.
They got together in the middle of the night and played the game of passing flowers on drums - an improved version of passing flowers on drums. They were divided into two teams, one for men and one for women. When the drums fell, the two of them had the flowers in their hands and were about to get out of the queue.
Two people either "dueled" or were punished together.
The meaning of duel is to embarrass each other and make the other party suffer punishment; or to accept punishment together.
The punishment is also very simple. Drink alcohol, perform something, or tell a short story for no more than three minutes. If you are not interested, you will be punished with alcohol.
I didn’t drink much at lunch or dinner, but now I drank.
Yun Qiao was not very familiar with this game and was caught twice by the commander - the commander was Wen Luyao, who deliberately teased Yun Qiao.
She drank a lot and became drunk later.
At dawn, many people were drunk but in high spirits.
Yun Qiao lay in Xi Lanting's arms, feeling a little drunk.
"Your Majesty just asked you what your biggest regret is."
On the way back, Xi Lanting gently stroked her cheek with his hand, "Why don't you answer this question?"
"The reason why regret is regret is because there is nothing we can do."
Yun Qiao said, "I have two regrets: the first is that competing with you has caused you to be like this; the second is that you are subject to the laws of heaven and cannot have children."
Xi Lanting leaned forward slightly, and his cool lips fell on her cheek.
He didn't speak.
Yun Qiao: "Are you just asking casually?"
"What else?
You also said that we are subject to the laws of heaven."
Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao sighed softly.
She snuggled up to Xi Lanting and fell asleep.
Outside the car window, the scorching sun gradually rose, and the bright red sunlight fell on her cheeks through the glass window.
Her fair skin was stained with red clouds, which were stained by alcohol. Her eyelids were lightly closed, and her long eyelashes covered them like a small fan.
The car returned to Xi Mansion, and Xi Lanting carried her back to her room to sleep.
Everyone is very tired.
Xi Changan came in later, and Xi Rong said to him: "Azun and Changning went out and haven't come back yet, so he doesn't need to be on duty today.
There is no need for you and Shuangfu, you can go and rest, I will guard you in the yard."
"OK."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xi Rong pulled him back and said, "Did Liang Shuang go there last night?
What did you two talk about?"
Xi Changan's eyes darkened.
Xi Rong: "Asking, you can't say this?"
"You don't really care, you're just gossiping."
Xi Changan said.
Xi Rong was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
Xi Changan walked through the small bamboo forest and sat down for a while, as if he wanted to rest for a while.
Liang Shuang did come yesterday, bringing her son Liang Zutian.
Yun Qiao asked her to tell her secret, and Liang Shuang stood in front of Xi Changan. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know where to start, and finally shed tears.
When Xi Changan saw this, he felt very sour in his heart: "You don't need to say anything..."
"I have nowhere to go.
There are still a few friends in Yancheng who can take care of me.
I'm not familiar with the south and can't understand the words; the north is in war.
I am alone with two children. The children are too young, so I can only go back here first.
Yancheng is so big, I always thought I couldn't meet you.
Even if it happens, you should get married and have children after so many years.
This is not my intention.
Brother Chang'an, are you still waiting for me?"
Tears filled her eyelashes.
"Be a good person and leave without saying goodbye.
We agreed a week ago to go to the countryside to see plum blossoms, and then disappeared, how could I not look for you and not wait for you?"
Xi Changan's voice was very low, all the emotions were suppressed in his throat, "You are back now, taking the child alone.
If I say, I don't mind your child, are you willing to let me continue to wait?"
Liang Shuang burst into tears.
She told him hoarsely: "Don't wait, please."
The scorching sun of early summer fell on Xi Changan, but it could not dispel the loneliness and coldness all over his body.
