Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 171 Ruthless Rejection
Feeling lost and accompanied by some heavy footsteps, Shangguan Feng's mood is really not good, it can even be said to be terrible. He has never been ignored and hit like this, even if he went out to chat with his friends for a few days later. After recovering, I also did something to relieve my worries, so I won't mention these for now.

Let's talk about this place, as soon as Shangguan Feng left, Gu Qingxin stopped when she bent down to guide Xiaoqi to write, and looked at the river surface expressionlessly, unable to tell what kind of expression it was.

"Xiao Qi, let's go."

The river lanterns have all been set off, and if you want to do what you say, it is already very late, and you have to go home to rest.

Xiaoqi understood Miss Huang's expression at this time, and looked at the river lantern on the river with reluctance. The brightest one, exuding colorful and mottled light, was extremely conspicuous on the entire river, standing out from the crowd. Knowing is best.

The wish inside is also his best sustenance, and it says: May San Huangjie be safe and happy!
"Oh, good." Xiaoqi agreed, looked back at the brightest river lantern again, and followed the steps of the emperor sister and brother in front.

"Princess, should we go back to the palace directly or go to the Third Prince's Mansion first?" Hong Dou asked, she was actually hoping to stay outside the palace for another night.

"Go straight back to the palace."

On the way from the river to the carriage, the third prince asked, "Sister, you are a little abnormal today. Even I feel that you seem to have a big prejudice against that Shangguan son. The reason for treating you so harshly is because you are in a bad mood." Well, it’s still where he offended you. If he offends you, tell me, Brother Huang will definitely help you vent your anger.”

"No."

"Really?" Gu Minghui couldn't understand. If there really wasn't, why did the imperial sister treat Shangguan Feng like this? Although he didn't have many chances to meet Shangguan Feng, every time he met, he was gentle and polite. Saying hello, he can be regarded as a character with a strong character, handsome appearance and talent, he should be very admired and liked by young girls, why did this scene become like this when he came to the emperor's sister?

"I've only seen it two or three times in total. There's no difference between what you want to see and what you don't want to see. Brother Huang, you're worrying too much."

While speaking, the people had already arrived at the place where the carriage was parked. At this time, the crowd had dispersed for a while, and the streets were finally not so crowded anymore.

It may be because of the great satisfaction gained from this trip, Xiao Qi didn't pester Huang Jie to let her go like last time, but let Gu Qingxin go with a promise to see him more.

Seeing the carriage going to the inner courtyard of the imperial palace getting farther and farther away, the conspicuous royal logo was still shining even in the night, Gu Minghui stroked his chin, thinking thoughtfully, could it be that I really Have you thought about it?
However, if it is really worrying, how to explain such an unusual situation?
"Amu, you're back."

Xu Mu pushed open the door cautiously, but Uncle Tie still found out, disturbing his rest, Xu Mu felt a little embarrassed.

"Today, I saw the prosperous scene of the Shangyuan Festival? Is it as lively as I told you?"

"Yeah, it's very lively." Xu Mu replied, although he answered, but his tone was a little too calm, it didn't look like he just witnessed the lively scene and had fun.

Uncle Tie raised his head and gave Xu Mu a loving look, but it was a pity that Xu Mu lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.Even so, as Uncle Tie who has lived with him for so many years, you can tell whether he is in a good or bad mood from his actions without looking at his expression.

Head down, hands drooping limply, feet loosely apart, back not straight.

Coupled with the voice, timbre, tone, and tone just now, Uncle Tie can already judge that the child he raised and taught has really encountered very confusing things again. Since Amu joined the army, the disciplined and self-disciplined When did people experience such loss and depression again?

Uncle Tie wanted to test it out, and asked in a low voice, "Did you encounter something unpleasant today? Or did you see someone you don't want to see?"

"No, Uncle Tie, don't worry, it's so lively today, how can there be any unhappy things. It's so lively outside, I can't even see it." His voice raised, and Xu Mu's face was a little gentle, but still a little The meaning of a strong smile.

"Really? Then where is the wine I asked you to bring?" Tie Bo looked at Xu Mu's empty hands through the orange light.

Only then did Xu Mu remember that there was still this matter, his momentum suddenly dropped, he remained silent, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Tie, I forgot."

"You also said that you have nothing on your mind. This is the first time you forgot to drink for me. Tell me, what is it?"

The one who greeted Uncle Tie was still silent.

Xu Mu didn't know how to open his mouth. He was still in a trance. He hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol yet. Why did he feel restless all the time? He walked as if he was walking on cotton, in a trance, wobbly, and I don't know how long and far I walked before I finally found the door of my house.

"Ah," after a long time, Uncle Tie sighed softly, the sound of this sigh was very clear in the silent air, and it was quite sighing and desolate in people's hearts.

"Now that you've grown up, I'm afraid you don't want to tell me some things anymore, so forget it."

Xu Mu couldn't figure out whether Tie Bo was more angry or sighed more when he said this, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it?"

These secret thoughts of his can only be fully perceived by him until now. Not only are they important, but also the relationship between a man and a woman. It is so beautiful, but it is also so difficult. Light.

One is the clouds in the sky, and the other is the mud in the ground. He used to think that when the second prince of Xishu Kingdom looked at the little princess like that, the undisguised desire, greed and possessive eyes were a kind of unreasonable blasphemy. Now, he found that I actually have such secret and shameful thoughts, and I suddenly hate myself.

Xu Mu, how can you?How can you have such an idea, and how dare you?

And all of this, Gong Ta couldn't even tell him, let alone Tie Bo.

"Okay, okay, I know what you think, I don't need to know. Just remember that you are an independent adult now, and you have to have your own opinions on everything. Remember, never shy away from responsibility, never shy away from consequences."

Seeing Xu Mu's inexplicable explanation, Uncle Tie hurriedly helped him out. In fact, in a sense, Amu never needed to explain anything to him, no matter in the past, now, or even in the future.

Back in his room, Xu Mu was still thinking about that sentence, never evade responsibility.

Responsibility, of course he has the responsibility, the responsibility of taking care of Tie Bo, the responsibility of defending the country, the responsibility of guarding the territory and protecting the people, he never thought of escaping, and never wanted to evade these responsibilities.

However, when there was no war, when he came back from the war, he didn't expect to meet his old friend, he didn't expect to see the little star when he grew up, he didn't expect to be sent by His Majesty to the Palace of Love, and he didn't expect to see what happened. Step by step, he came to what he is now, how did his mind get to what he is now.

He still remembers responsibility, but a heart has been left on others, as if it doesn't belong to him anymore, even though it is beating in his warm chest, it has been branded with other things, full of a feeling called Love things, there is no way to return to the past.

It is precisely because of this that he suffers, is sad, is lost, is melancholy, and is sad...

In just a few hours, Xu Mu's heart has gone through all kinds of emotions, back and forth, often back and forth...

When the moonlight came in through the simple latticed wooden window, Xu Mu woke up unexpectedly. After waking up, he couldn't sleep anymore. He had a strange dream, which was his most dreamed thing, and it seemed that it was not The things in the dream are in a trance, blurry, only pieces of clothes and temples can be seen, and all the people in the dream have no clear faces.

He suddenly felt some palpitations, sat up and put on his clothes, opened the window, and the cold wind came in from the outside, he didn't feel cold at all, but felt very comfortable, and his mind immediately went from dreaming to fully awake.Sober is awake, but sleepiness is gone.

The moon in the sky was big and round, and there were some dark places on it. It was said that it was the Moon Palace, where Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit lived. Xu Mu stared at the moon without blinking, as if he had never seen such a round moon before. like the moon.

It is big and round, so bright and clear that it seems that you can see the scene inside. Xu Mu's pupils tightened, trying to see clearly, as if he saw Chang'e, Jade Rabbit, and Wu Gang that people often say, but he didn't seem to see anything. , When he was concentrating on looking at it, he realized that at some point, Chang'e Jade Rabbit turned into a woman's face.

She smiles, she frowns, she is expressionless, she is gentle, all expressions are on the moon.

Under the moon, at some point, a bright light appeared, dotted with stars, and slowly began to move, like the stars in the sky, Xu Mu knew that it was the rising Kongming Lantern.
