Chapter 165 Dream

"You don't need to talk to me about this." Shen Qingling interrupted him, frowning and said: "These matters are your family's affairs, you can talk to me after you have settled it, can't you? I don't want to know how you will deal with Ji Yunran Yes, I just want to see a situation where no one bothers me."

Xue Yu's lips trembled.

"Can I go?" Shen Qingling got up and asked.

Xue Yu's expression was extremely sad, and when he opened his mouth, his expression trembled, "Qingling, are you really not going to give me a chance? I just need some time, and I can take care of my family's affairs. Don't I deserve your attention?" Wait?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingling asked back: "Are you worth it?"

"Indeed, I admit that I have some affection for you, but affection is an illusory thing. When it comes to reality, it is the predicament in front of us."

"You can't convince your parents, you can't even solve that lady Ji in your family, and you have to wait for her to let go and marry someone else."

"In such a situation, why do you ask me to wait for you in Bianjing?"

Each sentence deeply hurt Xue Yu's heart.He picked up the quilt suddenly, took a sip from the cow, choked and coughed a few times, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, why should I? Qingling, I can't force you, but I also can't let go..."

When things came to an end, Xue Yu only felt that he was fighting like a trapped beast.

What trapped him was the square courtyard of the Xue family, the order of his parents, and filial piety.

While speaking, two voices suddenly came from outside.

"My lord, His Royal Highness has arrived."

"Okay, I'll go there now, please wait for me in the tent over there."

Then, Li Yu turned back into the tent and said:
"The two of you are chatting slowly here. I will go to the next door to discuss important matters with the prince. Don't rush to leave later, Mrs. Shen. Come with us into the city and have a meal. How about it?"

It seemed to be a question, but in fact there was no room for Shen Qingling to refuse.

In the evening, the crown prince and Li Yu from another camp had finished chatting. When they came to Xue Yu's side, they saw two people sitting silently, barely touching the dishes in front of them.

"Is it over for you two? Let's go, let's go into the city together." Li Yu pulled Xue Yu up and said with a smile, "Today's banquet was arranged by His Royal Highness personally, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Although Li Yu did not reveal his identity, with the arrival of the prince, it was difficult for Shen Qingling to continue pretending not to know.So Shen Qingling prostrated herself on the ground, kowtowed to the prince and Li Yu, and said that her status was too low to be seated.

The prince has a peaceful temperament. Seeing Shen Qingling kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly walked over to help him up, and said: "Ms. Shen is the Princess Qingling appointed by my father, how humble is she? In the past, I often heard my father say how brave the princess is." , seeing you this time is really well-deserved of the reputation. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and I would like to ask the princess to give me a face and have a meal with Gu."

Shen Qingling had no choice but to enter the city again.

The coachman who followed Shen Qingling out of the city was sent back to another courtyard, the maidservants were not in a hurry when they learned that their wife was stopped by King Shou, they turned around and packed the bedding at home, preparing for the lady to come back to rest at night.

The banquet was held in Yunhe Tower, the largest restaurant in Bianjing.

The prince and others entered the private room on the second floor, and King Xiang followed. After everyone was seated, King Zhan had a chance meeting next door and squeezed into the table.

What was supposed to be a private banquet suddenly became a royal family banquet.

Xue Yu sat next to Shen Qingling, his eyes fell on Shen Qingling the whole time, he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, and his mind was too heavy to patronize drinking.

And although Shen Qingling was very uncomfortable with being at the same table with Li Yu, she couldn't tell on her face, when chatting with the prince, when talking about Jinyun and what she had seen and heard about going out of Yongguan, she spoke the truth.

Xiang Wang on the opposite side looked at Shen Qingling for a few times, and got up to respect Shen Qingling's wine.

"Let me come." Xue Yu staggered and stood up, raised his glass and said to King Xiang, "Thank you for your kindness, but Qingling doesn't hold a lot of alcohol, so I'd better leave drinking to me."

In words, deliberately intimacy.

Shen Qingling didn't deny it either, with a distant fake smile on her face.

King Zhan followed suit, saying that there was no need to persuade the little lady to drink, it was better for the brothers to drink a few cups.

"A Yu drank too much." Li Yu walked quickly to Xue Yu's side, raised his hand to hold Xue Yu's wine glass, and drank it for him, but he was looking at Shen Qingling from the corner of his eye.

To be honest, Li Yu could clearly see Xue Yu's love for Shen Qingling, but it was difficult to see any special expression on Shen Qingling's face, just like in a dream.

Thinking of the dream, Li Yu frowned slightly, and felt a dull pain in his chest.

The brothers drank, and the prince toasted with him, but when he raised his head to drink, he secretly poured the wine behind him.His condition worsened, but he kept it from his father and brothers.If the prince hadn't taken the medicine in advance today, it would be difficult for him to even go out, let alone hold a banquet and talk and laugh.

After drinking for three rounds, except for Shen Qingling and Xue Yu, all the four present were a little stupefied, leaning back and forth on their chairs.

Xue Yu fell directly on the table.

He hadn't eaten for several days, and he only drank half a bowl of porridge just now, so after drinking, he fell down faster than anyone else.

Just when Shen Qingling was about to sneak away, a hand suddenly grabbed her.The owner of this hand was not Xue Yu, but Li Yu who was supposed to be sitting honestly opposite Shen Qingling.

"Why didn't you show up last year?"

"I dreamed that you were dressed in red, I dreamed that you worshiped me, I dreamed that you accompanied me to northern Xinjiang to kill the Tartars, I dreamed that you held my hand and walked through the bloody wind with me..."

"But why couldn't I wait for you?"

"Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not suspecting you, are you?"

Li Yu was drunk.

He reached out his hand to embrace Shen Qingling into his arms, but was knocked down to the ground by Shen Qingling's backhand slap.

"My lord, you are drunk."

Shen Qingling stepped back half a step, and said to Li Yu condescendingly.

Sitting on the ground, Li Yu sniffed, closed his eyes and leaned back, and murmured in a low and vague voice: "I was wrong, Linger, don't let go of my hand, okay?"

"Not good." Shen Qingling replied him expressionlessly, "The past is the past. I once held a heart in front of you, but you abandoned it like a shoe. Now you want to get it back, but It's impossible."

boom!
Li Yu tilted his head, knocked on the leg of the table, and fell asleep.

Looking at the room full of drunks, Shen Qingling had a headache, so she could only call the guards waiting outside the restaurant to come and carry them.However, the guards were all from the prince and prince, Xue Yu was left alone, so Shen Qingling could only carry Xue Yu to the other courtyard.

Fortunately, not far.

Fortunately, the maids prepared hot water and beds.

After finally arriving home, Shen Qingling collapsed in her own room exhausted, didn't even bother to wash up, just put on her clothes and fell asleep.

That night, she dreamed of the past after a long absence.
