The carriage went out slowly from the palace gate, and the bell was jingling by the wind. In the spacious carriage, Su Li and Xiao Xu sat facing each other across a low table with snacks.
Xiao Xu picked up a jug and poured a glass of clear liquor into Su Li's cup, "This is brewed from the young buds of green bamboo in the mountains. It tastes very light, but it is good for the body."
Su Li picked up the wine glass, with a faint aroma of wine lingering in her nose, not intoxicating, but it makes people want to taste it. She took a sip lightly. She didn't know what was put into the wine when it was brewed. Apart from the smell of bamboo leaves, there was also a faint scent of flowers. It is said to be wine, but the taste is actually very light, it is more like a wine-flavored drink.
"Brother, did you brew this?" She knew that although Xiao Xu was not in good health, he liked drinking and brewed it by himself, most of the finished products were good. Unfortunately, he couldn't drink too much, so Xiao Qing drank most of it.
"Yes, this year, when the snow melted, I picked bamboo shoots to make it. Now it's time to take it out, how does it taste?" He also held the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip with his eyes downcast. His manner was elegant and pleasing to the eye.
"It tastes good, I like it very much." Su Li raised the corners of her mouth.
"As long as you like it." Xiao Xu originally wanted to give this wine to Su Li for celebration. He looked at Su Li, and his eyes couldn't help revealing some suppressed and deep emotions.
But suddenly, these emotions were sealed up again.
"Junior Sister, how did that Shangguan General... treat you?"
Su Li snapped her fingers, his tone was tentative, she could of course hear it. She doesn't want to deceive anyone, whether it's Xiao Xu in front of her, or Shangguan Ming in the barracks, they are just different sides of the same person to her.
When she loves one person, she loves all.
No matter how many pieces he is divided into, as long as he is still there, she will love him.
Xiao Xu Shangguan Ming, or the two princes in the palace, they all have souls in their bodies that she cannot refuse.
It's just that they don't know it.
Su Li thought for a while before slowly opening her mouth: "He looks indifferent, but he is actually kind to me. He was very defensive towards me at the beginning, but then he trusted me..."
"Is that so?" Xiao Xu then asked.
"What do you want to ask, brother?" Su Li asked with a smile on her eyes.
Xiao Xu clenched the wine glass in his hand, but the heart in his left chest couldn't stop beating faster and faster. He closed his eyes, as if he had made some important decision, and asked, "He likes you."
Su Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, "What about you, brother?"
"Me too." Xiao Xu said it easily.
It's just that I regretted it when I said it.
Not to mention, there is still hope. If so...
Shangguan Ming has been with her day and night for so long, but he is far away in the capital and has not seen her for more than two years. No matter how deep the relationship is, it will be bleak when time and space cannot be intertwined.
He is very worried.
His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he could hardly bear it.
"Brother..." Su Li reached out and took his hand, "Xiao Xu? Xiao Wuge? How do you like me to call you?"
Xiao Xu was slightly stunned, looking at Su Li who was smiling in front of him, "You..."
His words disappeared in a burst of wind.
In the distance, there is a person hidden on the thick tree trunk with a bow and arrow in his hand.
He pointed the arrow at the slowly approaching carriage.
"careful!"
"Xiao Xu!!!"
