On the fourth day of July, Dezong held a grand banquet in Linde Hall.

Even Ye Fan returned to Ye's house from Shence camp early to prepare for the banquet.Mrs. Ye had already prepared Ye Fan's court clothes, and seeing Ye Fan's clumsiness in wearing court clothes, she couldn't help but stepped forward to help, and scolded: "Just like your father, he is obviously a great general, but he can't even wear a court dress well."

Ye Fan smiled: "Thanks to my mother being here."

"What's the use of me?" Mrs. Ye said, "It's you, get your wife in quickly."

Ye Fan smiled and didn't answer.Mrs. Ye said again: "This time, can we meet His Royal Highness Lu Wang?"

Ye Fan avoided Madam Ye's gaze, and nodded uncomfortably, "Maybe... yes."

Mrs. Ye stared at Ye Fan, and asked with a smile: "Fan'er, do you want to see His Highness Lu Wang, or are you afraid of seeing His Highness Lu Lu?"

Ye Fan was stunned by the question, and looked at Mrs. Ye in surprise, "Mother, what do you mean—" The next moment, he seemed to understand, "Could it be that you, like Your Majesty, have also planted eyeliner in the Shence Camp ?!"

Mrs. Ye said: "I only have a child like you, so your safety must naturally be protected by me."

"But my son is a young and strong man, what are you worried about?" Ye Fan was stunned.

"Who made you look like your father, who didn't care about anything except leading troops to fight? The treacherous clouds and waves in the court are not as simple as you imagined."

"My son doesn't care about the affairs of the court, and he doesn't want any power. Isn't that okay?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

"As long as you are still on the battlefield for a day, you will have nothing to do with the affairs of the court."

"Then what does the mother want her son to do?"

"Mother's meaning, I said it earlier, don't be a general anymore, find a leisurely position, marry a daughter-in-law, and our family will live together in peace."

"But that's not what you said before. You once said 'There will be no eggs under a nest', so let your son serve the country on the battlefield!" Ye Fan said in disbelief.

"Mother repented, taught you how to read military books, sent you to the battlefield, urged you to make such achievements in battle, and became a thorn in the emperor's eyes. Mother regretted it."

Ye Fan frowned and said: "Son, I don't regret it. It doesn't matter if you are suspected or used by others, my son will not leave the battlefield." He paused, and then his voice slowed down: "Son, don't be a prisoner in a cage in Chang'an City." bird."

Mrs. Ye was silent. She stretched out her hand to stretch Ye Fan's wrinkled shoulders. After a while, she changed the topic: "It's rare for you to rest for three days in a row. The day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival. I made an appointment with Miss Qing Wan for you. Tonight, you two will be together." Appreciate the lights."

"Miss Qingwan?" Ye Fan looked puzzled.

"Mrs. Wei's cousin." Mrs. Ye said, "You two, take a walk and talk."

"But... it's against the rules for us to meet like this before we're married?" Ye Fan hesitated.Seeing Ye Fan's refusal, Mrs. Ye frowned slightly, but her voice was gentle, "There is nothing against the rules. You haven't been in Chang'an for a long time, so I don't know. Everyone should meet before getting married."

Hearing what Madam Ye said, Ye Fan had no choice but to agree.After Mrs. Ye took the maids out, Ye Fan opened the door of the cupboard beside her. Inside were two big red wedding quilts neatly stacked, embroidered with bright and dazzling flowers blooming richness and love | What appeared in front of his eyes was the appearance of Li Xuan sitting on the door when he opened the door that night.

My heart trembled slightly.

He stretched out his hand and touched the cold satin surface.

His fingers trembled involuntarily.

He murmured and asked himself: "Do you want to see His Highness Lu Wang, or are you afraid of seeing His Highness Lu Lu?"

At the moment of Xu Shi, under the guidance of the servant, Ye Fan came to Linde Hall.

The lights in the grand palace are brilliant, as bright as daytime, reflecting most of the Taiye Pond into a brilliant piece.

Ye Fan's official rank is not low, and he is well-known on the battlefield, but in this prosperous city of Chang'an, he has no close friends or even acquaintances. This is also his first visit to Linde Palace, the first time he has really seen what is called royal style.He was seated quite in the front, and the people around him were quietly looking at his strange face, and a voice came from nowhere and said, "Isn't he that... the great general 'teacher' of His Royal Highness King Lu?"

Only then did some people wake up one after another, "Oh, it's him."

The most famous thing about Ye Fan is that he served as the teacher of "His Royal Highness Lu Wang" more than a month ago. There were no interesting anecdotes among His Highness Lu Wang, so they were forgotten not long after.

"I heard that it didn't take long for His Majesty to take His Highness back to the palace, and he was furious!"

Hearing the words "Your Majesty is furious", the people who were sitting next to Ye Fan quietly moved away from Ye Fan.

Ye Fan heard it in his ears, and didn't take it seriously at all. He used his eyes to search among the people coming and going... I haven't seen you for half a month. I don't know how His Royal Highness Lu looks like?Have you been wronged in the palace?

But until the end of the banquet, the seats on the left side of His Majesty, the first row below, were always vacant.

——His Royal Highness did not come.

——Why didn't His Royal Highness come?

——Are you unwell?

——Or are there other troubles?

Ye Fan was restless, drank a few sips of wine indiscriminately, and almost couldn't help but wanted to sneak out of the banquet to take a look in King Lu's palace.Just at this time, a clear flute sounded, followed by a lot of music, and a gorgeous dance was presented in the center of the banquet. The dancing postures and enchanting figures formed a gorgeous scene of prosperity.

Everyone around applauded.

Ye Fan also clapped his hands along with the crowd, his eyes glanced aimlessly at the line of musicians at the corner of the main hall, and then he settled down.That luthier in white and black gauze hat looks familiar? !

Before Ye Fan came back to his senses, "Luther Master" Li Xuan raised his head, winked at him, and smiled mischievously.

Ye Fan was shocked and sighed, his heart finally settled down.

After the banquet was over, Ye Fan watched the musicians leave the table, and then walked out of the Linde Hall with everyone. He was full of confusion and wondered whether he should take a look at Li Xuan, but suddenly found that the servant leading him out also looked familiar, and he called out in surprise. Come out: "Eunuch Shi? Why are you?"

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the little stone had led him to a very secluded corner, and even Ye Fan, who knew nothing about Daming Palace, had no idea what this place was.

Little Shitou chuckled, pointed forward, and said: "General, Your Highness said it's been a while, and I want to talk to you. You can see him when you go forward."

"...Okay." Ye Fan couldn't hold back, laughed out loud in surprise, and almost trotted forward.Turning around the green path, there is a quiet waterside pavilion. Li Xuan is still wearing a white musician's uniform and a black gauze hat, standing on the water platform like a cluster of moonlight. Fan Zhao waved.

Ye Fan ran across the water corridor in twos and threes until he stood in front of Li Xuan, still a little unbelievable, and forgot to salute for a moment.

Li Xuan also smiled, and asked first: "General, are you here all right?"

"Your Majesty, where is Your Highness?" Ye Fan looked at Li Xuan, wanting to see if he felt any discomfort, and asked nervously, "Are you wronged? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xuan laughed out loud, "In this palace, no one dares to make His Highness feel wronged."

"That's good." Ye Fan felt relieved, came back to his senses, and quickly saluted Li Xuan, "I have seen His Royal Highness Lu Wang."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "The general doesn't need to be so ignorant."

The two stopped talking for a moment, looked at each other, and then looked away.The water and sky are quiet, the breeze on the lake blows the night, and the flowers and trees around make rustling sounds.

"I have prepared some wine, and the general will drink with me." Li Xuan said.

"Okay." Ye Fan followed Li Xuan into the water pavilion, and the two sat down at the table. Li Xuan picked up the white jade jug and poured it into the jasper-colored begonia and lotus leaf cup for Ye Fan, and said with a chuckle: "Daddy!" General, please."

"Thank you...Your Highness." Ye Fan held the exquisite wine glass, thinking of Li Xuan's words for a moment - Chang'an City and Daming Palace are exquisite birdcages, and he is a canary being fed - Ye Fan drank it all in one gulp The wine in the glass was soft and mushy, and he couldn't taste it, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, why are you in the music team?"

"I have nothing to do recently, so I just hang out in Liyuan." Li Xuan poured wine for Ye Fan again.

Ye Fan finished his drink, and asked again: "Is His Royal Highness's riding and shooting going to waste?"

Li Xuan filled it up and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, my disciples have never been neglected when riding a horse and archery." He said, reaching out his hand in front of Ye Fan and spreading his palm.

——On the originally white and flawless palm, there are some tiny calluses, destroying the original beauty of the hand.

However, Ye Fan exhaled, drank the wine, and said with a smile: "That's good."

Li Xuan withdrew his hand, poured wine for Ye Fan, and suddenly said: "Is the general staying in Chang'an City for the past three days?"

"Ah."

Li Xuan's voice became softer, "...Qixi, are you free?"

Ye Fan looked at Li Xuan in astonishment, seeing that Li Xuan's expression was a little uncomfortable, he seemed to understand something, his heart surged, but the next moment, he still frowned and said: "On Qixi Festival, my mother's servant invited Mrs. Wei's cousin , Say yes, let's meet before we get married."

The night wind was a little stronger, a flower fell from the branch, and fell to the surface of the water with a "patta", rippling slowly.

"Oh." Li Xuan responded.

Ye Fan clenched his hands on his knees and looked at Li Xuan closely. After a long while, he uttered a word between his teeth: "Your Highness, you must take care, I hope you are well." He said He stood up and wanted to leave, but Li Xuan stood up first, pressed Ye Fan's hand on his knee, leaned forward, bowed his head and kissed Ye Fan's lips.

Ye Fan felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then it was full of Li Xuan's face, and Li Xuan's sad and shy eyes.

The lips are soft and soft, with the fragrance of wine and seductive sweetness.

Trembling, Ye Fan withdrew his hand from Li Xuan's, and couldn't help but want to hold Li Xuan in his arms and kiss him hard.Li Xuan had already taken a step back, stood up straight, his face was flushed, but his expression was melancholy, he said softly: "Little Shitou, it's getting late, let's send the general out of the palace."

"So, Your Highness, are you Duanxiu?" Xiao Shitou asked as he rubbed his ink.

There were countless scrapped music scores spread out on the table. Li Xuan held a pen in one hand and rested his chin in the other, absent-mindedly writing and drawing. After listening to questions, he irritably rolled up the half-written music scores and smashed them on the little stone's face. .

"It doesn't hurt." Little Shitou chuckled.

Li Xuan stared at him coldly.Little Stone stopped laughing and shrank his neck.

It was Li Xuan who put down the pen in his hand, stood up suddenly, stared at Xiao Shitou's face for a while, and saw that Xiao Shitou was fighting with each other. He pursed his lips and kissed Xiao Shitou's lips forcefully. a mouthful.

After a while, Xiao Shitou ran out crying bitterly, clutching his ripped skirt.

A few moments later, the news that "His Highness Lu Wang went mad and treated his personal servant as a palace maid to be raped" filled the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

Xiao Shitou cried so hard that he wanted to explain that His Highness didn't kiss me as a court lady, but as a prince—but no one believed it.

Ye Fan sat in the teahouse distraught, and woke up suddenly when he heard the news.

——Your Highness, you also kissed Eunuch Shi? !

——Why?

——Could it be that His Highness kissed me for no other purpose, but because I was overthinking it? !

He was in a mess.

"Smoke in the sky, the moon in the sky, and the autumn of the Yin and Han Dynasties are the same forever. A little joy and hatred, every year in this night."

Since Ye Fan was 16 years old, he seldom stayed in Chang'an City. During festive seasons, he mostly stayed with Mrs. Ye at home. This was the first time he saw Chang'an City at night.

Someone chanted a poem loudly and passed by outside the carriage, Ye Fan looked at it for a while in surprise.

Seeing Ye Fan's novelty, Mrs. Ye was annoyed and amused: "No wonder it's difficult to marry a wife. Although I'm a native of Chang'an, I haven't even seen him at night in Chang'an."

Ye Fan hurriedly sat back upright again, Madam Ye straightened his collar for him, and said softly: "Fan'er, that Qingwan girl, my mother met a while ago, she is polite, gentle and lovely, you are here today." Meet with her, if you are interested, then get married as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Ye Fan froze slightly and didn't answer for a while.

Mrs. Ye looked at him and didn't speak.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the driver said outside: "Madam, the Wei residence is here."

Madam Ye slightly frowned, sighed, and said softly, "Go down."

"Yes." Ye Fan jumped out of the carriage with the gift she had prepared, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Why didn't he promise his mother?Isn't he staying in Chang'an this time just to make his mother happy by getting married?Why does he not want to get married? Does he really have unreasonable thoughts about His Royal Highness Lu Wang?How is this possible, not to mention His Royal Highness Lu Lu's status is noble, how can someone like him be able to climb high, besides, His Highness Lu Wang is a man, and he himself is a man, how can two men be together?So he was actually a broken sleeve?Is His Highness Lu Wang a broken sleeve?But he has personally seen His Royal Highness Lu looking through the picture of a woman's beauties, and His Highness still treats Eunuch Shi as a court lady and wants to force him?Even if both he and His Highness Lv Wang have broken sleeves, as His Majesty's only younger brother, can His Majesty allow such a thing as being with a man?Even if His Majesty can allow it, can mother agree?

How much his mother hoped that he would marry a wife and have children as soon as possible.

Then he just refused to get married, why?

He stretched out his hand and touched his own lips, the soft touch was still there, Your Highness, why did you suddenly want to kiss him and invite him to spend Qixi together?

They obviously can't be together.

The red light of the lantern reflected on Ye Fan's face, making him look a bit erratic and in a trance.In this short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but there was only one final result.

It is impossible for him and His Royal Highness Lu Wang.

"Fan'er?" Mrs. Ye called softly.

Ye Fan came back to his senses in the night wind, he bowed his head and said, "The marriage will be arranged by mother."

Madam Ye smiled.

Plain clothes and silver hairpins, delicate and soft, Miss Qingwan this year, from Suning, Cangzhou, when she saw Ye Fan, she blushed slightly and bowed shyly.

Ye Fan returned the salute a little awkwardly.Mrs. Wei held a round fan and smiled at the side: "General, this is the first time my cousin has come to Chang'an, so she is not very familiar with the places, you can take her around and see, and then send her back when it is almost time, can you do that?"

"Yes." Ye busy said.

Madam Ye also smiled: "Madam Wei is worrying."

Mrs. Wei said: "My cousin, you should put some thought into it."

The lights of the flower market are like daytime.Ye Fan protected Qing Wan from being hit by passing pedestrians and vehicles, but he really didn't know what to say.On the other hand, Qing Wan secretly glanced at Ye Fan twice, and whispered: "Two years ago, when the General led his troops to recover Suning City, Qing Wan met the General."

"Miss Qingwan is from Suning?" Ye Fan asked.

"After the general entered the city, he not only took nothing from the people, but also subsidized the people with military rations, and ordered the soldiers to help everyone rebuild new houses. He was called a 'hero' in Suning. My parents were very grateful when they learned that I could marry the general. Endless."

"Girl is overrated, I just did my part." Ye Fan said uncomfortably.Qing Wan's face burned, she looked at Ye Fan with admiration, and was about to hold Ye Fan's hand, when a carriage suddenly rushed over from behind.Ye Cong hurriedly protected her and stepped aside, and then saw a figure flashing past in the car window.

...His Royal Highness? !

Inside the car, Xiao Shitou was really startled: "Your Highness, are you going to break them up, or make them complete? If the general hadn't reacted quickly, you would have bumped into someone."

Li Xuan frowned and sat in the carriage, not speaking.

"Either, Your Highness, go down and grab the general; or, Your Highness, go back to the palace, it's useless to follow." Xiao Shitou sincerely suggested.

Li Xuan kicked over angrily, "I need you to talk too much about my Highness's business!" He fell silent, but raised the curtain of the car again and looked back.Ye Fan was standing by the side of the road, staring at the carriage, seeing Li Xuan, he immediately let go of Qing Wan in his arms, and wanted to follow.

Li Xuan hurriedly urged: "Go, go!"

Seeing Li Xuan's contradictory expression, Xiao Shitou sighed heavily.

As the carriage went further and further away, the surrounding gradually became quiet, and no human voice could be heard.Xiao Shitou lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and asked in surprise, "Qin Weiwei, what is this place?"

The driver lifted his bamboo hat, turned his head to look at the little stone, and said in broken Chinese: "This is the underworld, I will send you there right away."
