Chapter 15 Predestined

"Nian'er?" Yan Yingchen looked at me doubtfully.

I rubbed my hands awkwardly and said, "I don't know you are all here, so I broke in rashly. Sorry to bother you. Then take your time and I'll go back first." With that, I want to quit.

"Nianqing, don't rush to leave. I have something important to tell you. Come and sit down." Yi stopped me desperately, and I had no choice but to sit beside them.

When he rolled his eyes at Yi, I asked him, "What's the important thing?"

"The thousand-layer pastry I ate in Qianwei Pavilion last time tasted very good, but unfortunately the cooks in my house couldn't make that flavor. Can you go there in person? Yi looked at me eagerly.

"That's it?" Is this an important thing? It was this guy who was making excuses to let me stay.

"That's it. Eating is a big thing for me, and I can't despise it. He spoke sincerely like a big-tailed wolf.

I was speechless, so I nodded and promised him.

"Nian'er, aren't you in Qinyuan? Why did you come back so early? And... why are you wearing such clothes?" Yan Yingchen can always catch the point of the problem and hit the nail on the head.

"Oh, don't mention it. In the final analysis, all the problems are that I met a brain-damaged man. Speaking of brainache, I was angry, but when I thought of stepping on his foot at the end, I couldn't help smiling.

Brain-damaged? What is that?" Yizhen is an easy-learn child.

"Brain-damaged is... an abnormal person who can do something annoying." I don't know how to explain it to Yi. He can't understand what he said is too modern, so he can only talk nonsense.

"Oh... did he bully you?" Yi continued to ask.

"It's more than bullying? It's a great shame. I'll change this dress later, cut it into one by one, and take it to Qinyuan tomorrow to make him angry. I hate the damn smiling face when I think of it.

"Nian'er, do you mean that this dress is his?" Please, my own brother, don't say it so clearly. Everyone should know it.

So I had to nod and said, "It's really that brain-damaged man. He stained my clothes and lent me his clothes. He also told me not to break it, I..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard a crack, and it seemed that something was broken. Look at it according to the sound. Li, who had just been silent, was frowning at this moment, and there was still a fragment of a cup lying in his hand.

"Lion..." A man is really a terrible animal.

"Brother..." Yi looked at Li with some worry.

"Yi, let's go out first." Yan Yingchen came out at the right time to ease the atmosphere.

But I really need to talk to Li alone at this time. In fact, I don't quite understand why he is so angry. I just wore someone else's dress, and nothing happened.

"Ling, why are you so generous?" I leaned over and broke his hand to see if he had been cut by the porcelain piece.

Li let me take his hand to check, but his eyes have been stopped above my head and never left. It seems that I didn't find any wounds, so I was relieved.

I looked up, looked back, and couldn't help but be stunned when I saw Li's affectionate eyes.

Li gently pulled me into his arms and said softly, "I don't want you to have anything to do with others. I don't allow others to touch the person I love."

What is his theory? Is it too possessive?

I pushed him away and said, "But I'm going to marry the prince, and you're going to marry my sister."

Li turned his head in pain and said, "That's different."

"What's the difference? Today, I just wore other people's clothes. I will marry the prince, and I'm afraid..." Halfway through the words, my wrist was grabbed by Li.

Li came close to me, looked at me deeply, and said word by word, "I, Nangong Li will never let it happen. You can only be my wife." After saying that, the warm lips pressed down heavily.

The lips on Li's kiss suddenly hurt, and a sense of anger rose in my heart for no reason. I pushed Li away reflexively and was about to throw my backhand.

When Li saw my movements, his eyes were full of pain. I paused, put my hand down again and said, "You go."

"Qier, do you have to be like this?" Li's tone softened and looked at me sadly.

"Otherwise, what do you want me to do? What you want is Jiangshan, and what I want is my own husband. We are in a different way. Why do we have to force it?"

"What if I'm willing to give up the country for you?"

I smiled bitterly, "You won't. You are not such an irrational person. Li, I'm not Yan Nianqing. So, forget me." After saying that, I didn't dare to look at Li.

As if a century had passed, I finally couldn't help looking up at him. Li's clear eyes were inexplicably wet. I raised my hand and stroked his cheek, and there was a trace of water dripping.

I tiptoed and finally kissed his lips, which were wet. I said, "Li, there was a poem in my hometown. The poet said, 'This situation can be remembered, but it was already sad at that time.' You and I are here. I don't want to be your fetter. I want to see you achieve hegemony. So, forget me."

When I let go, I opened the door and went out. The sun outside is a little dazzling, which makes people want to cry.

When Yan Yingchen and Yi saw me coming out, they cast a questioning look at me. I ignored them and went straight back to my own yard.

When I returned to the house, Ziqin saw that I didn't look well, so she hurriedly poured me a cup of tea. Huaishu is no longer here. Every afternoon, a master comes to teach Huaishu some kung fu, which is what Yan Xiu means.

"Ziqin, I'm a little tired. Let's go to bed. If the second young master comes, tell him that I will come to him in the future and ask him to wait for me.

Ziqin nodded sensiblely and said, "Miss, please take a rest. I'll bring you a clean dress, and you can change it when you get up."

"Ziqin, it's 'you', don't forget it again." After saying that, he fell asleep.

I felt like a fragrance, and when I woke up, the haze in my heart suddenly became much clearer.

I got up and found that Ziqin was not in the room, and there was a clean dress beside the bed. After getting dressed, I was bored and moved to the dressing table and sat down. I looked carefully at myself in the mirror and found that I looked thinner than when I first came back, and my eyes became bigger and bigger.

In fact, Yan Nianqing's facial features are a beautiful woman, but after being tossed by me for so many days, she now looks like malnutrition and not very good-looking.

Think about the past, in modern times, I couldn't lose weight, but now it's good and completely become a bamboo pole.

Infinitely melancholy. In fact, I still like girls who have a little meat. I must eat and drink well in the future.

Looking at a long line of troubles, I decided to coil them up, so that my hair looks like the protagonist of a horror film.

Open the dressing box and flip through it at will to find a suitable hairpin. After looking for a long time, I didn't see a favorite one. Just as I was about to give up, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a small dark compartment. When I opened it, there was a simple jade hairpin lying quietly inside.

I picked it up and looked at it carefully. There was no other carving on the whole hairpin except a letter engraved on the hairpin. Is this Yan Nianqing's? Or... Zhao Qing's?

Anyway, the simplicity of this hairpin really is very satisfactory to me. He inserted the hairpin into his long rolled-up hair and looked at the mirror for a while before he was ready to find Yan Yingchen.

When I went out of the door, the cool air in the evening felt refreshed. ( Although the refreshing atmosphere in the evening is a little strange...)

I stood at the door and looked left and right, but I didn't see Ziqin, so I turned back to the room and left a note for her, saying that I had gone to find Yan Yingchen.

I walked into Yan Yingchen's room and found that he was reading in the study. It was strange that I was looking for someone to read. Why didn't you find so many learning people around you before? Sweat! Miss, your observation skills used to be too weak.)

"Brother..."

"Oh, Nian'er. Have you had a good rest?"

"Hmm." I nodded. Brother, it's a nice day tonight. Why don't we go out and chat for a while?

The sun gradually tilted to the west, and there was a faint blush in the courtyard.

"Brother, Li and I..." Yan Yingchen and I sat under the big sycamore tree in the yard, and I opened my mouth first. He and I have no fate, and in the end, it is still like this.

"I understand all this, and you don't have to make it too difficult for yourself."

After a moment of silence, I asked him, "Brother, do you have someone you like?"

"What if there is, what if there is nothing. Before the overall situation was determined, these were just futile troubles.

"Didn't you want to stay away from all this?"

"Of course, I have thought that fresh clothes and angry horses and swordsmen are the life I want. However, Yu Junchen and Yu friends, I can't leave.

"Brother, why do you live so tiredly? Life is just a few years, and you have to live for yourself.

"It's hard to say that you are a man. Since I promised him to help him by his side, I can't go against my promise.

"He doesn't have you, just one counselor and a fierce general. This will not be a fatal loss for him to reach the peak. Why do you have to be so persistent?

"Everyone has their own obsession, don't they?"

I laughed dumbly, yes, everyone has their own obsession, why don't I?

"Brother, maybe I will really leave one day. This world of struggle is not suitable for me."

"Nian'er, if you want to go, you have to walk neatly. You can't be nostalgic or reluctant, so that your footsteps will be hindered.

"Actually, I always thought that if you found out that I was leaving, you would tie me up and watch, so it seems that I'm really wrong."

Yan Yingchen smiled but didn't say anything.

"Brother, can you promise me one thing?"

"Say it, my brother promised you."

"After he gets the world, you must resign and stay away from the court. This is a place that can't be left. Brother, you can't do thousands of things, but this one can't.

"Are you afraid that he will kill me?"

I looked into the distance and nodded slowly. From ancient times to the present, there are countless emperors who have killed meritorious officials. I dare not say that Li won't, because he really can't see through me.

"Nian'er, I'll be fine."

"Brother, I will wait for you somewhere in this world. When you end all this trouble, come to me. Our brother and sister are still together. I once said that you and I are so connected that no one can change it. If you are in danger, I will protect you even if I fight for this life.

"Stupid girl."

For a long time, the two of them had nothing to say.

The stars in the sky set off the deep sky, and everything seems particularly quiet.

"Nian'er, the jade hairpin on your head... is your mother's." Yan Yingchen still looked at the sky and said to me leisurely.

"Good care, my mother's favorite hairpin at that time. I often play with it in my hand, but I don't want to wear it.

"Brother, don't worry." Although I was a little surprised, I also thought that the owner of the hairpin might be Zhao Qing.

Time slipped away, but none of us was sleepy.

"Nian'er." Huh?"

"After settling down, you need to make more money. When my brother comes to you, it must be a breeze."

"..." I was stunned and then laughed happily. I patted Yan Yingchen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry, my sister will let you live a colorful life."

Take a deep breath and pray in your heart that all the best is well for our brother and sister.
