The day that ?? told Ni Ying, ? was Ah Ying's 14th birthday.
Because of concealing his identity, it was inconvenient to make a public announcement, so this jewel in the palm of Guang'an Palace could only spend a sloppy and simple birthday in the military barracks.
But Ni Ying is not unhappy,? She is not a person who likes extravagance, so she just pestered Li Yuanmin to make her a bowl of longevity noodles as usual for her birthday.
Li Yuanmin cooks in person,? Rolls out a thin and long piece of noodles, and one piece is full of half a bowl,? Symbolizes longevity,? Fushou Yongkang. A soft-boiled poached egg is placed on the steaming hot noodles, and the soup is poured over it. What good food can there be in the kitchen of the military camp? However, Ni Ying ate very happily.
Because like every birthday, ?she has her two close relatives to accompany her, her elder brother on the left, and her highness' brother on the right. She seems to be the apple of her eye for a lifetime.
The sun shines in through the felt window, and the dust dances freely in the light. On the ground, the figures of the three people are stretched into a long gray mass and blended together.
The chopsticks fell to the ground with a bang.
Ni Ying's eyes filled with tears,? looked at the silent elder brother, and then looked at the elder brother of His Royal Highness who was looking at him calmly.
Her cheeks were itchy,? raised her hand to touch, there was a wet spot on her fingertips, and? didn't know she was crying.
She didn't know why she shed tears. Compared with the shock of hearing that the two close relatives were together, her heart was filled with a sense of grievance with anger. What anger, what grievance, she didn't know at all, but looking at that gentle She actually felt a little jealous, jealous of her elder brother.
She didn't know that she was such a stingy person, but she actually felt such terrible jealousy towards her biological brother. There was a deformed resentment in the jealousy, as if he had robbed her, but anything, As long as my brother wants it, she will naturally not snatch it from him, because no one knows better than her the love for herself hidden under the skin of indifference.
But tonight, she became angry for no reason, and all kinds of emotions came to her heart, making her cry uncontrollably.
Big tears fell from the eye sockets. She bit her lip tightly, wiped it off with the back of her hand, and gave Yan Lie a hard look. She had never given him the face of this cold-faced brother, but now , she couldn't control the disgust in her heart at all, she wanted to rush up and beat him.
Yi Lie's eyes were dark, his Adam's apple moved, but he didn't say anything.
Li Yuanmin lowered his eyes, sighed, and said, "Ariel, you go out first."
Yi Lie looked at him deeply, and when he was leaving, he looked at Ah Ying who turned his face away, sighed, and turned away.
In the barracks, there was only Ni Ying's faint sobbing.
Li Yuanmin took her hand, patted the seat beside him and let her sit down.
Ni Ying's lips trembled, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She threw herself on the table with a wow and began to cry.
Li Yuan felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. He naturally knew Ni Ying's vague possessiveness towards him, but how could a fourteen-year-old girl know what it was.
Ni Ying suddenly raised her upper body, wiped her tears and said stubbornly: "They all said that your highness brother will marry me in the future!"
"Aying..." Li Yuanmin sighed, "Your Highness brother will not be able to marry any woman in this lifetime."
"Why?" Ni Ying was still unwilling.
Li Yuanmin sighed and wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
"Because your highness brother... is a bisexual person."
Ni Ying frowned, suddenly realized something, looked at Li Yuanmin, her eyes widened in surprise.
"how come… "
Li Yuanmin did not speak.
In the eyes of the world, bisexuality is unknown. Many deformed babies are regarded as monsters or drowned or burned at the beginning of their birth. They have survived to this day, and they also live alone, or enter the world to do low jobs. In some romantic places Li uses deformed bodies for people to enjoy, so as to earn meager money to support himself.
Even as a prince, because of his body, his childhood was more miserable than ordinary people. Fortunately, he has survived now.
Ni Ying was so shocked by the unexpected news that she forgot to sob, she just muttered at a loss, Xu saw the faint sadness on Li Yuanmin's face, she grabbed Li Yuanmin's arm suddenly: "So what? No matter what your highness's brother is, he is my highness's brother."
Li Yuan was soft-hearted and somewhat helpless. Ah Ying was young, so naturally she didn't know what it meant to be a husband and wife with a bisexual person.
"Why does Ah Ying want to marry His Highness' brother?"
Ni Ying did not hesitate: "I want to be with your highness brother for the rest of my life."
Li Yuanmin smiled wryly: "As long as we Ah Ying don't marry far away, we will always be together."
Ni Ying only felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell at all. Her chest was heaving and tears were hanging on her cheeks.
She finally said what was on her mind unwillingly: "But your highness' brother was still snatched away!"
She shed tears: "It doesn't belong to Ah Ying anymore!"
"... Ah Ying, you will grow up eventually, and you will meet many people. You are still young, and you are still not sure what you want... This matter... His Highness brother can't allow you, let alone..."
He glanced at Ni Ying, stopped talking, and only said softly: "When you meet that person in the future, you will know what I said."
Ni Ying looked at the usual gentle person, and asked sadly, "But brother, why is it different?"
"It's different, he... is different." Li Yuanmin's eyes were filled with softness, and he only touched her head, "But you are all the most precious people in my life."
Seeing the faint light on his face, Ni Ying suddenly understood something.
Under the shroud of light, he looked so gentle, and she often felt a piece of tranquility in such gentleness.
Now she finally understands what is the similar light that she has been seeing on his face all these days.
——Brother Your Highness is very happy. This kind of joy can only be brought to him by brother in this world. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have such a soft look.
At that moment, Ni Ying's heart suddenly opened a hole, like a cicada sloughing out a heart that is more transparent than before.
Suddenly, she was no longer obsessed with that exclusive possession. Compared with possessing the exclusive possession of His Highness's brother, seeing him shine like this is more important.
This is her Highness' brother, how could she be willing to let him lose such brilliance.
Even so, Ni Ying still lowered her head in a lonely way, and there was a sentence she didn't say in the end.
Your Highness brother was wrong. Although she is only fourteen years old, she may not understand what that ignorant feeling is.
Such a mixture of various emotions, although not hot, but she is very sure.
For the first time, her fourteen-year-old heart had such melancholy.
She knelt down halfway, and fell on the knee of the person in front of her as before.
She thought, if there must be someone else, she would rather this person is brother.
***
The grassland under the autumn sun has a bit of tranquility, the breeze is blowing, and the waves are undulating one after another, which is quite a bit of the style outside the Great Wall.
The girl awkwardly walked in front of the tall young man.
"Brother... I shouldn't have..."
Her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything anymore. She just threw herself into the young man's arms.
This is the first time the two embrace each other since they can remember.
Yi Lie froze, obviously a little overwhelmed by this unusual hug, his hands were stiff, and finally slowly hugged the girl in his arms.
Li Yuanmin stood on the high slope with Cao Gang, looking at the pair of brothers and sisters hugging tightly in the pasture.
Li Yuanmin turned around: "He is no longer the Red Tiger King in his previous life."
Cao Gang's face was full of depression, his beard was stubble, and his eyes were black and blue. It was obvious that he hadn't slept all night. He clenched his fists tightly.
When he woke up in the morning, he originally thought that the third prince was looking for him to give an ultimatum, but he didn't want to bring him here.
Looking at the young man who rarely showed a soft face, he thought desolately in his heart that he is indeed no longer.
The hero in my memory who was hunched over and stiffly carried his sister's body away from the capital step by step no longer exists in this world.
Only myself, still immersed in the confusion of the previous life.
He stumbled back a few steps, suddenly laughed, shook his head sadly, and walked back slowly.
The people behind him stopped him.
"Sir, do you believe in cause and effect?"
Cao Gang stood still for a moment, then turned around abruptly. He wanted to show a sarcasm smile, but he was angry: "Your Highness, there is no need to say sarcastic remarks here. Cao did not expect to live again. The Lord can grow into the character he is now, cause and effect, hehe, cause and effect, the cause of Cao's underestimation of the enemy has tasted the bitter fruit, so why should His Highness remind him!"
"Mr. misunderstood." Li Yuanmin didn't care about his angry words, but said calmly: "I just got the news in Beijing that Wang Chaoluan has been deprived of the position of imperial concubine, and now I just made a small promise. Having been uprooted by the elder brother, there is no longer any support—the fourth prince has offended so many people, so there is no need to wait for the master to take action."
Cao Gang hesitated: "Really?"
"In a few days, even my husband will hear about it. Although the father loves the fourth brother..." Li Yuanmin glanced at him, and said vaguely: "But how long can such wings last?"
The body in Beijing is no longer good enough. After another year, the world will change.
Cao Gang understood what he meant, he clenched his teeth tightly, his chest heaved, his breath was hot, and he only hated himself for not being able to kill him with his own hands like in his previous life.
His heart was agitated, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes:
"It's you?"
"Mr. thinks highly of me," Li Yuanmin laughed at himself: "Wang Chaoluan's mother and son are vicious and vicious, planting all kinds of causes of destruction, and today's end, they will suffer the consequences themselves, and I just hand in hand to the emperor. Brother delivered a knife."
He whispered: "So, I believe in cause and effect."
After two lifetimes, he couldn't be more clear.
"Why?" Cao Gang knew that he had asked a stupid question as soon as he said it. Back then, the son of the Lenggong in the West Palace had suffered many invisible and vicious tricks from Wang's mother and son.
Cause and effect, everything is cause and effect.
He shook his head and sighed, closed his eyes, turned and walked away.
"Where is the sir going?"
"Where?" A burst of laughter came, "Since my home is all over the world, I just wander around at will."
Li Yuanmin hurriedly took a few steps: "Sir, why don't you stay here?"
The person in front of me paused, and looked back at him: "Your Highness, are you not worried that Cao has ulterior motives and will lead your love astray?"
"Sir, I won't." Li Yuanmin twitched his lips, "Just now, obviously you are also happy for Ariel now."
Cao Gang was taken aback and stopped talking.
I heard the human voice in front of me: "Mr., it would be a pity if you are talented in the mountains and rivers. Although Lingnan is such a wild place, there is still room for you to flex your muscles. Mister, you might as well stay in Lingnan for the time being. If in the future There is a better place to go, and this king will definitely not stop it."
Li Yuanmin bowed deeply to him and said, "Student, please help sir."
A gust of wind blows, and the long grass rustles.
Cao Gang looked at the young man who was guiding the girl to ride a horse in the pasture, turned his head, and stepped forward to help the person in front of him.
Li Yuanmin was overjoyed.
"However..." Cao Gang's eyes suddenly flashed a light, "Cao also has something to ask."
"Oh?" Li Yuanmin hurriedly said: "Sir, you might as well just say that if this king can do what he can, he will help you with all his strength."
The sincerity on that pretty face is definitely not a fake. Cao Gang almost sympathizes with him.
"I just hope that Your Highness will take pity on my own body, and don't let that overlord do anything wrong every night."
"you-"
Li Yuanmin's eyes widened unexpectedly. He has cultivated himself for many years, but he couldn't help showing shame and anger. He thought he was doing it secretly, but who is Cao Gang? I got it.
These nights must be followed by him!
Thinking of those chaotic nights, he slowly blushed, turned his back immediately, and then his snow-white ears were mercilessly exposed, flushing like blood.
He clenched his fists, turned his face sideways, forced his face and said angrily: "If this matter is known to others, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between teachers and students!"
Cao Gang finally got the upper hand. With a smile on his face, he clasped his hands together and bowed: "Cao doesn't dare, and must keep this secret for His Highness."
The heart that had been suppressed for many days finally had a moment of light, and he put on an air and said: "In this case, I will be grateful to His Highness for taking care of me in the future."
"Huh!" Li Yuanmin walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Cao Gang laughed out loud.
The author has something to say: Girls' feelings are always poetry, and Ah Ying will meet her destined lover in the future.
ps: Cao Gang, get!
