Views:

One stay in the frontier is three years.

The Son of Heaven has always exchanged letters with him. For Xu Haoran, even if the food and grass are cut off, the letters from His Royal Highness cannot be stopped. Whenever it was unbearable to deal with the wound, he always pressed the handwriting of His Highness against his chest.

Wait a little longer, after he cuts off the thorns for the little highness, he will offer glory and victory with both hands.

There has never been a time like this when Xu Haoran felt that the distance between the capital was so far away. He raised his eyes to see the sun, but he did not see the capital, nor his highness.

"How is Brother Haoran? I heard that the war on the frontier is still not over. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a few days. I hope you can put your own health first, and don't ask whether the country is missing a point, but you can't." Disabled back."

"Today, those old antiques in the court are stubborn and stubborn. I think you used to stand in front of me and protect me from the wind and rain, my great general."

The person under the candlelight carefully folded the letter back and put it away, with the last seven words in his mouth, thinking about it carefully, feeling that it has a special flavor. Even at night, it seems to be able to have a good dream.

His little Highness is waiting for him in the capital.

So what if there are so many people in the heart of the little highness, for the little highness, he is the one who misses the most.

Xu Haoran thought so.

Even in war, when the sword brushed past him, he would also think about whether the little Highness had a good meal today, whether he could have a good rest, and whether he cared about each other as much as he did. With this belief, after many years, he was finally able to hold the head of the opponent's leader and look in the direction of the capital with His Royal Highness.

He can finally return to Beijing, and finally he can take a good look at his little Highness.

The day before arriving outside the city, Xu Haoran specially dressed himself up in a refreshing way, hoping to let His Royal Highness see his heroic side. But the next day, after seeing clearly the people next to Xiaodian Xia from the horseback, the smile on his face froze instantly.

The smile on his face faded slightly, Xu Haoran got off his horse and knelt down to worship Zhou Junyan first, then bowed slightly to the person beside him: "Master."

The little Highness is still the same as before, but he looks taller, his outline is more mature, and his whole person is more handsome and extraordinary. He no longer bluffs his sleeves and calls "Brother Haoran", but just nods slightly to himself , still had the same smile on his face: "Long time no see, the general is well."

well? How can I be safe in the frontier? I can’t sleep well every day, and even in my dreams, I have to beware of whether others have murderous intentions against me; swords have no eyes in war, and there are so many scars on my body that I can’t count.

It can be seen that after seeing His Royal Highness, Xu Haoran suppressed the thousands of words in his heart, and said with a smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not disgraceful the expectations of everyone, and the frontier has been pacified."

"I dedicate all my glory and victory to my emperor." This is his belief.

The young man who returned triumphantly was appreciated by the emperor, and the mansion was filled with various precious jewels, many of which were envied by others, and he was always eager to catch his mistakes so that he could make a fortune in front of the emperor.

But the emperor loves his general so much, he ignores the memorial, always takes his favorite ministers with him when he travels, and even blatantly dismisses officials who question the general in the court.

Xu Haoran also felt that the Son of Heaven loved him too much, and he lived in a dream-like fear all the time, trembling, afraid that one day he would suddenly wake up.

But his little Highness always reassures him and tells him it's okay.

"In the past, the general always loved me and would take care of me no matter what happened; when I first ascended the throne and my foundation was unstable, it was the general who took the order to help me stabilize the frontier."

"For me, the general is an indispensable part of my life." His highness is as dazzling and beautiful as a pearl, and he seems to be the only one left in his eyes: "It was the general who blocked me before." In front of you, now that I have the ability, I naturally want to protect you well."

It seems like a sweet poison given by the emperor, but Xu Haoran didn't want to believe it. He thought that if it was true, then he would be the stupidest person in the world—jumping down willingly and willingly handing him the poison The wine was drained in one gulp.

His Highness said again that in this world, the only person he can trust is him.

Based on what His Highness said, he became the hottest upstart in the capital, but at the same time he was a thorn in the eyes of those ministers. He is like a blade in the hands of the emperor, whoever the emperor wants to kill, he will devour all the power of the courtier without hesitation.

His Highness always likes to make fun of him, pinching the corners of his mouth with his fingers: "Aiqing, you should smile more, you always have such a bitter face, no girl is willing to marry you."

"In the past few days, some adults have been begging me to come here, and want to ask if you have a close eye, and I beg you to marry me." The emperor said with a smile, as if he hadn't noticed his change: "You are not too old, if you It wasn't that I sent you to the frontier to drag you, you should have started a family long ago."

Xu Haoran was silent for a while, then asked: "What about Your Majesty?"

He saw the corners of His Majesty's mouth collapsed, and his expression became lighter: "It's okay, I'm still young, don't worry. What's more, I just passed the filial piety period, so let's discuss this matter later."

Regarding the vacancy of the empress position, the ministers persuaded His Royal Highness more than once to become empress. At first, they shirked it on the grounds that "the first emperor has just left". Things are pushed and pushed.

Others don't know clearly, but he is very clear.

They say that the filial piety period is not over, and they talk about state affairs that are the most important. It's all because the little highness has a person who can't ask for it. He wants to look forward to it, but can't own it openly. For him, he even endured the pressure from everyone, just struggling hard, trying to get the last chance.

But what about him? Isn't it the same? I hope that when his little highness can turn around and take a good look at him, when will he be willing to give him a foothold in his heart, when... when will he be able to face his heart directly and give him the response he wants .

He stood like this and looked at his highness, like an insurmountable gap, he was close at hand, and he could see him at a glance; but he had no way to touch him.

When will his little highness be able to see him.

Xu Haoran is like a traveler walking in the desert, longing for a rare drop of water, so longing for his little Highness, who can share a little bit of his affection.

Even though he clearly knew that he was just one of his lackeys.

Humble and lowly.

The author has something to say:

I feel sorry for the general, woo woo woo, I love you, cub, don't look at him anymore.
