"It's just that I haven't seen such a like-minded friend for a long time, so I can't help but want to treat him well. To be honest, you are very skilled and courageous. I really want to keep you by my side and put you to good use. If you really don't want to, then

You can stay or go as you like."

What he said was very official, which made Xin Yue frown slightly. However, his face was very open and clear, and there was no strange look on his face, as if this was what he meant.

"I will come back to see you when I have time. Take good care, Yan Zhan." After all, they are friends. No matter what, they can't dilute the warmth that they have developed over many days of getting along with each other. Xin Yue will inevitably be reluctant to let go.

The girl has a pair of bright eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars. When she smiles, a shallow dimple appears on the side of her tender cheeks. With the white peony bush next to it, it is really a pearl that makes her dizzy and beautiful.

Light.

Yan Zhan was stunned for a moment by his beautiful and elegant smile. Then, his lips slowly raised an arc, and he patted Xin Yue on the shoulder:

"Go ahead and I'll see you off."

"Master Yan."

At this moment, a man dressed as a servant came to Yan Zhan.

"What's the matter?"

"The emperor said that there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow, please come."

Yan Zhan nodded, turned his eyes and said to Xin Yue: "You have never been to the palace, right? Do you want to go and see it with me? How about leaving after the dinner?"

One more day and one less day actually doesn't make much difference. Xin Yue actually didn't want to mess with Yan Zhan, but she just felt a faint sense of uneasiness, as if something was going to happen at any time.

"I'm not going, I'm sorry." Xin Yue lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

She still chose to trust her intuition, after all, this feeling had saved her many times.

"It's okay." Yan Zhan smiled gently and did not embarrass her in any way.

"No." The servant on the side said. Yan Zhan and Xin Yue looked at him at the same time. The servant lowered his eyebrows and said, "I forgot to mention it just now. The emperor specifically asked Master Yan to bring Miss Xin with him."

"Maybe the emperor wants to thank you in person. After all, you saved his life." Yan Zhan looked at Xin Yue, "The emperor's words are imperial decrees. In this case, you can only leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Xin Yue frowned slightly and could only nod. She didn't have the guts to resist and be disrespectful, even though the uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Time passed very quickly, and it was already evening in a blink of an eye. The sun was setting, and the remaining light of dusk filled the entire world.

At this time, Yan Zhan, who had been busy for almost a day, didn't even eat anything, so he walked out of the mansion accompanied by several servants.

He has a lot of things to be busy with these days. In many aspects, including military arrangements and other confidential issues, he will refer to Xin Yue's opinions. This makes Xin Yue moved but also troubled. He really plans to train her into a confidant.

…

Xin Yue would answer the questions raised by Yan Zhan very seriously, but if he didn't ask, even if he had the best opinions, she would choose to remain silent.

There is no other reason. Yan Zhan is a good friend. If he wants to help, she will take it seriously. But at the same time, she knows very well that she cannot stay here and cannot become a navy, so her help to him is

With reservations.

I can only apologize to him in my heart. She has her own way to go.

Yan Zhan went out for a long time and didn't even come back to sleep. He stayed out all night.

Xin Yue thought he had gone to the palace, but when she saw the things he asked people to bring, she realized that he had gone out all night just for her.

It was just dawn at that time, and Xin Yue always got up early. After washing, she went for a walk in the garden. Just when she finished her walk and wanted to do some exercise, the door opened with a creak.

Yan Zhan walked through the long corridor surrounded by servants. When he saw Xin Yue, he smiled lightly and said:

"Went up so early again."

"You didn't come back all night? Or did you just go out?" Xin Yue looked at his pale face and frowned slightly.

"Don't talk about this, come and take a look."

Xin Yue walked up to him, saw his happy face, and asked suspiciously: "What are you looking at?"

Yan Zhan looked at her clear eyes like streams and small face like melon seeds, and felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason. Even if he stayed up all night, it seemed that just seeing her would make all his fatigue disappear without a trace.

He suddenly became very childish, and instead of asking Xin Yue to go to the room, he directly asked his servants to unpack the baggage he had brought back.

"How about it?"

After opening the baggage, a long dress was held high by two servants and presented in front of Xin Yue.

This is a magnolia-colored long skirt that flows to the floor. The hem of the skirt reveals a very light azure color, like the grass green in late spring after a drizzle, shrouded by a light rain and mist. The color is exceptionally transparent and translucent.

It has an indescribable freshness and cleanliness.

Not only is the color pleasing and eye-catching, but the decoration is also extremely ingenious. Beside the neckline is a slightly larger silver eightfold cherry blossom dark pattern, and clear white and pink east beads fall in large or small sizes on the sides, and the sleeves

Gold-painted embroidery thread is used to outline the periphery of small white cherry blossoms. The belt is not wide, with snow-colored brocade as the background, and embroidered with green and blue flowing cloud patterns.

This set of long skirts has a good color, is flexible and beautiful, elegant yet gorgeous, and has a lot of simplicity and color, which makes people's eyes bright.

"For me?"

Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and asked softly, his eyes twinkling.

Yan Zhan nodded.

The woman's slender, snow-white fingers poked out from her sleeves and touched the long skirt. The silky texture of flowing water flowed through her fingers, which was so beautiful.

Xin Yue thought of something and was startled: "Did you have someone rush out last night?"

Yan Zhan said softly: "You should dress nicely when entering the palace."

"It must have taken a lot of thought."

Seeing Xin Yue's expression fluctuate, Yan Zhan laughed softly: "Don't worry too much, it didn't take long."

"Master Yan, haven't you been working on it for a long time?" Cheng Yuan on the side said with a smile, "Yesterday you took out Miss Xin's clothes and asked the owner of the silk shop to make the clothes according to her size. You chose one or two patterns.

Hours, you are as serious as office work, you have more than a hundred people from all over the silk shop to go out to collect clothes for Miss Xin, and finally drive out in the middle of the night. You are not satisfied, and everyone has to do it again, you this time

I refused to listen and insisted on personally supervising them in making clothes..."

"Okay, Cheng Yuan." Yan Zhan frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Cheng Yuan, who had always been cautious in his words and actions, suddenly talked so much nonsense.

Yan Zhan's face was pale, and on his clear and handsome face, green shadows appeared beside his eyes, as if he was hiding deep fatigue. Xin Yue looked at him, frowning, and a complex emotion flashed between his eyebrows.

"What, don't you like it?" Yan Zhan asked in a low voice when he saw Xin Yue lowering his smile and frowning slightly.

"Nothing." Xin Yue held the long skirt in his arms, his indifferent expression no longer existed, and his smile was as clear and flawless as if it had been washed with water, "This is the first time I accept such a good gift, thank you..."

"Don't say thank you," Yan Zhan interrupted her with a faint smile, his eyes gleaming, "As long as you like it."

In an instant, a gust of distant wind blew, and the magnolia petals brushed the girl's black hair, slowly disappearing into the dust.

The sun is moving westward, and soon it will be time for the banquet.
