Old Times of Human Relations

When Xiao Li said goodbye to her parents and returned to the Xiu Building to rest, it was already very late.

I thought that she would finally go home and sleep well that night. But she didn't expect that until midnight, she still had no sleepiness.

At this moment, what made Xiao Li's heart most troubled was that there was a shadow of someone circling in her heart.

It has only been a few hours since she was separated, but has she already started missing him?

Xiao Li felt that she was a little funny, but she was even more troubled.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason why she felt this way was probably related to mentioning him in front of her parents today. Or, to put it further, what made her even more upset at this time was related to the mistake she made in Zhile Palace during the day.

Until now, Xiao Li remembers it very clearly in her heart. When she accidentally saw the cold expression in Huangfu Haotian's eyes, she felt shocked in her heart.

Of course, Xiao Li knew that Huangfu Haotian was the closest person to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, she also knew that judging from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's physical condition, he might not have much future.

However, a person who has not been around for many days is still so concerned about the situation in the court. What kind of unknown secret is hidden here? Could it be because of Huangfu Haotian... For a moment, Huangfu Haotian's cold eyes appeared in front of Xiao Li's eyes again, which made her heart feel a little upset again.

Alas, she only knew that her heart was extremely confused at this time, but she didn't understand why she felt so upset. There was only one thing. Whenever she thought that Huangfu Haotian was likely to participate in the dispute over the Daling regime, her mood would be much lower inexplicably.

However, Xiao Li is a smart woman after all.

Looking back carefully, since she met Huangfu Haotian, this person has been very calm. Many times, in his behavior, people can't understand what he is thinking.

During the days he spent with him, Xiao Li could clearly feel that when they were together, Huangfu Haotian could always show enthusiasm. What's more, on the border battlefield, his performance was always so open-minded and cheerful.

However, every time he was in the palace, or whenever Huangfu Haotian was with his parents and brothers, he would become another person.

A very low-key and extremely frugal person is a bit unkind and even more mysterious. Of course, this is only excluded when he is with His Royal Highness. Xiao Li has seen Huangfu Haotian and His Royal Highness together. He always feels that they are together, and they are more like a pair of brothers who support each other.

Brothers in distress, right? Haha... Although this description is a bit strange, Xiao Li does think so in her heart.

Forget it, forget it, no matter what kind of brother they are, Xiao Li really doesn't want to think about it anymore at this time. She just wants to ask Mr. Zhou. If he can invite Xiao Li at this time, it will definitely make her very happy.

What a pity, it was still the same as the wish. Xiao Li lay on the bed, tossed and turned for a long time, but still had no sleepiness.

She couldn't sleep for a long night and was so upset that she might have to chat with someone. Maybe she would want to go to bed after talking to someone for a while?

However, when Xiao Li climbed down from the bed and walked quietly to the outer room, she found that Qin Jian had already been sleeping unconscious.

Looking at Qin Jian's sleeping soundly, Xiao Li couldn't help feeling depressed. She simply returned to her boudoir and found a heavy cloak. After wrapping it around, she quietly went downstairs alone.

Fang Shi came downstairs, but found that the lights in his parents' room in the front hall were still on.

At this time, the two elders had not yet rested?

Looking at Xiao Li's figure sitting under the window from afar, she suddenly felt a little curious in her heart. But it's okay, she was worried that no one was talking at this moment. It would be better to sit in her parents' room for a while, and maybe her mood would slowly calm down.

When she came to her parents' window gently, she was about to reach out and knock on the edge of the window, and she said hello to her parents first. However, at this moment, the sound of her parents' conversation suddenly came from inside.

"So, in that palace today, Li'er did say that to the emperor?" When Xiao Li suddenly heard her mother's name mentioning her name, she couldn't help but suddenly stopped her gesture. Judging from what her mother said, weren't they talking about the thing she mentioned in the palace today?

Standing in the shadow outside the window, Xiao Li couldn't help but wrap her cloak tightly in front of her chest. Since she came out of the palace today, her father has never mentioned that matter again, but he was like this, which made Xiao Li feel unsure. However, she didn't expect that when it was late at night, her father suddenly mentioned this matter to her mother.

"That's right. A Li said that at that time. She asked the emperor to give up on her filial piety and allow me to retire and return to the capital." When my father said this, he suddenly smiled softly and said, "Haha, madam... you have always understood my thoughts. To be honest, when I heard A Li's words, I was surprised, but I did move for a while."

Xiao Li was stunned when she heard it outside. Why did she hear her father's words mean differently from that in the palace?

But when my mother suddenly sighed, "Yes, how could I not know about the general's thoughts? Over the years, you are willing to stay in the city for many years because you don't want to enter the court."

But the general laughed in a low voice, "What the Madam said is, although the emperor has been more and more kind to me over the years, and the power in my hands has become greater and greater. However, the Madam also understands my heart the most. In fact, what I long for most in this life is the kind of days without an official position."

When Xiao Li heard this, he was even more surprised. Why... It turns out that he really thought so in his father's heart? It turned out that he had already thought of it with him. But why did he insist on not giving up everything he has in his heart?

"Madam, I guess you still remember it? I remember back then, Madam, you were willing to fight to death to marry an ordinary guard like me. The purpose was to be with me and live a life of unrestrained and happy life... But over the years, I have never done anything I promised you." When Xiao Li heard his father sighing melancholy, he couldn't help but feel as if he had fallen into the end of the clouds.

What happened between dad and mom?

Why did my mother once be an extraordinary woman after listening to her father's tone? What kind of secrets are hidden in this?

Just when Xiao Li felt her heart be in the clouds and could not stay at the ground, she suddenly heard a smile from Mrs. Xiao in the window: "It has been so many years. In short, you and I have been a couple for more than 30 years. Why are you mentioning this matter again now?"

The general sighed: "Not to mention the past thirty years, even if it was over thirty years, I will never forget the decision made by my wife back then. Thinking back then, Xiao was just a martial man, so how could I marry the daughter of the King of Qingzhou? You know, Madam, you should be the candidate for the current queen!"

What?!

When Xiao Li suddenly heard this, she was so shocked that she almost blurted out.

But what happened? If her mother had been the woman the emperor wanted to marry, why did she marry her father in the end? What's more, as the emperor, as the emperor, how could he allow his woman who originally belonged to him to marry another man? And in the end, that person became the most important confidant in his life?

What's going on? How could this happen?

Holding her breath and concentrating, Xiao Li was hiding outside the window carefully and not daring to move. She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would attract her parents' attention. At that time, she would not be able to hear anything.

At this time, my mother chuckled inside and said, "What a big deal? I thought about it, but he didn't want me first. If it weren't for you, I might have been locked in the dark cold palace by him forever."

When she said this, Xiao Li even laughed softly when she heard her parents laughing together.

Afterwards, Xiao Li heard the general whisper, "But Shuyi, the move you used at that time was indeed a little too cruel for the emperor." Speaking of this, the lady even smiled slightly: "There is nothing to do. It is said that the emperor is lucky. At that time, the one who was sent to the palace was not the only one, so the servant naturally had to think of a way to escape from him."

When the general heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "So, you took medicine to make yourself covered in measles, and it didn't get better after a month, right? Looking back on the past, if Queen Murong had not been taking care of you with all her heart, maybe your life would have been too long since been saved, right?"

But when the wife suddenly smiled, she said, "It's not that serious if you can't save your life. However, this look must be impossible to save it."

"You..." The general couldn't help but sigh and said, "I really couldn't see through you at that time. Why can you be so cruel to yourself?"

But the wife laughed and said, "If I don't do that, how can I try it out? Who in your heart really has me?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but suddenly reach out and hold the general's hands: "Chaogui, do you know? That day, when I learned from Murong that the emperor decided to isolate me in the cold palace for the rest of his life, my heart was so painful that I could not survive. But later, when she told me again, when you learned about the emperor's decision, he actually knelt in front of him regardless of his humble identity and asked him to give me to you, how happy I felt in my heart."

The general couldn't help but sigh and laughed: "Yes, I don't even know myself. How could I have such great courage at that time? I only know that when I was sent by the emperor to pick you up in Qingzhou City that day, you were such a lively and beautiful woman. Along the way, as long as you see a beautiful scenery, you will be happy for a long time."

Speaking of this, the general laughed happily: "The word I remembered the most clearly was that you once said that one day, if you can be with the person you like and walk all over the land of China."

"So you suddenly became so bold and asked him to give me to you, and then decided to take me to travel the world, right?"

When the general heard this, Nana smiled: "It's a pity that time, I almost killed you for your life."

"Haha..." But the wife smiled and said, "What are you afraid of! You know that on the way to Beijing, I had already secretly fallen in love with you. So at that time, even if the emperor ordered me to be executed, I was not afraid at all. What's more, at that time, I knew your intentions!"

"Yes, yes. Fortunately, at that time, there was Miss Murong. If she hadn't tried her best to persuade the emperor, let him turn his mind around and finally promised to let you go, so that I could hold the beauty back!"

"What kind of beauty, you obviously saw that I had already turned into a macaque."

"Hey, does the lady still understand my heart? In my eyes, no matter whether you are a macaque or not, you are the most beautiful princess in my heart."

"But since I followed you, my father has cut off all relations with me."

After hearing this, the general couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, how can you blame the King of Qingzhou for this matter? After all, I am just an ordinary guard who has no strengths."

When the lady heard this, her heart suddenly felt sad: "Even if that's the case, he shouldn't inform the martial arts world, forcing you and me to work hard every step!"

Seeing her like this, the general couldn't help but pat the back of her hand gently and said softly: "But in the end, have we found a way out again?... Alas, that time, thanks to Queen Murong. If she hadn't come forward again and asked the Bianwang to summon me into the army and serve under the Bianwang's command, I'm afraid I would be even more sorry for you in this life."
