腊月初三,一直镇守边关的苏玉峰苏大将军终于班师回朝,由于前些日子刚下了一场大雪,京郊的官道上满是皑皑白雪,远远的就能看到那广袤无垠的银色世界里一条黑色的长龙,一路蜿蜒而来。

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, General Su Yu Feng, the Great General Su who had been guarding the borders was finally returning to the royal court. Thanks to the heavy snowfall a few days ago, the public road in the suburbs of the capital was full of white snow. From afar, a long black queue could be seen on the broad silvery field and more people kept coming.

    京郊十里亭驿站,挂着厚厚帘帐的亭子里依次摆放着四个火炉,此刻炉火正旺,烤的周围的人脸上都带着薄红。

In Shili Pavilion, the station located at the suburbs of the capital, four stoves were placed in the pavilion which were also covered with very thick curtains. At this moment, the fire was burning vigorously. The faces of the people who were warming themselves up around the fire were slightly red.

    苏晚披着鲜红的大氅,静静的坐在早就准备妥当的绒毯之上,透过帘帐间的缝隙,她已经看到了那从远处逐渐走近的大军。

Su Wan had a bright red cloak draped on her shoulders and was quietly sitting on a blanket that was prepared ahead of time. Through the gap between the curtains, she had already seen the army that was gradually approaching from a distance.

    在原主的记忆里,苏玉峰是个严肃的武将,也是位严肃的父亲。他很少笑,也不懂得温柔,在将军府中,苏玉峰每日做的最多的就是练武和研读兵法。

In the original owner’s memory, Su Yu Feng was a strict General and a strict father. He rarely laughs and does not know how to be gentle. In the General’s fu, the most Su Yu Feng does is practice his martial arts every day and studying military strategies.

    这样的人一生都是既定好的枯燥,而且他还是个特别有原则的人,他的底线和原则支持着他不会犯下任何不可原谅的错误。

This kind of person who established such a lifestyle is boring and is also an especially principled person. His bottom line and principles stood by this notion: he will not offend the officers working under him but he also will not forgive mistakes.

    这样的人,倒是难得的忠臣,也是个难得的人才,可惜,却唯独处理不好自己的家务事。

This kind of person is a hard to come by minister who was loyal to the throne and also a rare talent. Unfortunately, he is not good at handling his household affairs.

    苏锐就坐在苏晚身边,他细长的眸子也一直注视着大军归来的方向,或许是因为自小习武,耳目比一般人敏锐,苏锐远远的就看到了万千军马之前那个穿着黑色铠甲,威武而高大的身影。

Su Rui was sitting next to Su Wan. His slender eyes was also looking attentively at the returning army. Perhaps it was because he practised martial arts since young, his vision and hearing were sharper than the average person’s. From  afar, Su Rui could already see that powerful, imposing figure dressed in black armour that was leading the troops.

    那是他的父亲,苏玉峰。

That was his father, Su Yu Feng.

    父子俩的视线,隔着很远就在半空中交汇在一起,没有久别重逢的喜悦,苏玉峰漆黑的眸子里带着一丝锐利,而苏锐也毫无惧色的冲着苏玉峰挑衅似地眯了眯眼睛。

From afar, the line of sight of both father and son met in midair. There was no joy of meeting again after a long separation. Su Yu Feng’s pitch-black eyes contained a trace of sharpness. Su Rui didn’t show any fear when his gaze met Su Yu Feng’s provoking narrowed eyes.

    从四年前苏晚出嫁,他们父子俩的关系就降至冰点,而如今苏晚回到苏家,则让他们父子沉寂了四年的关系,变得更加水火不容。

Ever since Su Wan got married four years ago, the relationship between both  father and son fell to freezing point. And now that Su Wan had returned to Su Jia, the quiet relationship between father and son became even more incompatible.

    不多时,苏玉峰的兵马已经行进到十里亭附近,苏晚也看清了那个迎着北风威武肃杀的男人。

In a short time, Su Yu Feng’s army had already marched to the vicinity of Shili Pavillion. Su Wan had a clear view of the man she had to greet who was just like the powerful and harsh North wind.

    紧了紧身上的大氅,苏晚缓步走出亭子,父女俩时隔四年,再次相见。

Tightening the cloak over her body, Su Wan leisurely walked out of the pavilion. The father and daughter who were separated for four years met once again.

    苏玉峰古井不波的眸子里微微有些晃动,虽然女儿自幼体弱也不能习武,但是苏玉峰对这个女儿还是宠爱的,父爱深沉,他又是个不善言辞的男人,所以在过去的那些年里,苏玉峰和苏晚的关系其实也只能算是不冷不热吧。

Su Yu Feng’s eyes which were like ancient, waveless wells slightly swayed. Although his daughter was weak since young and could not practice martial arts, he still doted on his daughter. He had deep paternal love for her. He was a man who was not good with words so, in those past years the relationship between Su Yu Feng and Su Wan could only be considered lukewarm.

    若不是因为当年苏锐做出的那件事,苏玉峰也不会四年来一次都不去看苏晚——

If it wasn’t for what Su Rui did that year, Su Yu Feng would never have not gone to see Su Wan at least once in these four years.

    “父亲,既然嫁进了越王府,女儿这辈子就是越王府的人了,以后不能再父亲膝下尽孝道,请父亲原谅!”

“Father, now that daughter is marrying into Yue Wangfu, daughter is now considered Yue Wangfu’s people for my whole life. Afterwards, daughter cannot be filial and dutiful at father’s knees anymore. Asking father to forgive daughter!”

    苏玉峰的脑海里还清晰的记得四年前苏晚出嫁那天所说的话,那是她第一次在自己面前露出那个严肃认真的表情。

Su Yu Feng’s mind clearly recalled her words on the day she married into Yue Wangfu four years ago. That was the first time she showed a serious and earnest expression in front of him.

    那时候,苏玉峰还觉得安心,女儿终于长大有了可以托付终生的人,虽然苏锐混蛋了一些,但是从此后不再相见对他们来说或许都是最好的结局。

At that time, Su Yu Feng still felt at ease. His daughter had finally grown up and has a person she can entrust her whole life to. Although Su Rui was somewhat wretched, from this moment on, it would be the best outcome if they stopped seeing each other.

    四年的光阴说长不长,说短不短,可惜一切早已经斗转星移物是人非……

Four years of time can be said as long but not long, short but not short, but it’s a pity that everything in the past is already in the passage of time. The scenery remains the same but the people are changed.

    “父亲……”

“Father……”

    苏晚与苏玉峰对视着,良久之后她终于向前迈了一步,颤抖着开口。

Su Wan and Su Yu Feng looked face to face. After a good long while, she finally took a step forward and her mouth quivered.

    苏玉峰正欲答话,目光猛地一凛,之间苏锐慢悠悠的走到了苏晚的身后,特别亲昵的紧了紧她身上的大氅,旁若无人的抬起双臂把她圈在自己怀里:“姐姐,这边风大,你小心身体。”

Su Yu Feng was just about to answer but his eyes suddenly went frigid. Su Rui slowly walked behind Su Wan. In an especially affectionate manner, he tightened Su Wan’s cloak and aloofly raised his arms to encircle Su Wan into his embrace: “Jiejie, the wind is strong here. You have to be mindful of your body.”

    虽说是温柔好听的话语,但是在苏玉峰看来苏锐这是在红果果的挑衅!

Although his words were gentle, soft and pleasing to the ear but in Su Yu Feng’s perspective, this was a blatant and bright red provocation!

    这个畜、生!

This animal, sheng! [Blu: Took me a while but sheng is a sfx for unsheathing a weapon.]

    “苏锐!”

“Su Rui!”

    苏玉峰猛地一抽手中的长枪,挽着枪花凌空一挑。

Su Yu Feng suddenly lashed out the spear in his hands and retrieved the spear to rest it on his shoulder.

    苏锐似乎早有准备,抱着苏晚一个回旋,顺势把苏晚的头扣在自己怀里,苏锐眯着眼睛一脸无奈的看着自己的父亲:“父亲,我知道你武艺高超,可是你若是一个收不住,不小心伤到姐姐,我可是会……心疼的!”

Su Rui seemed to have been prepared beforehand and carried Su Wan in his arms as he maneuvered. He also took this opportunity to clasp Su Wan’s head into his embrace. Su Rui narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but look at his father: “Father, I know your martial art skills are superb but if you couldn’t hold back and accidentally hurt jiejie, I will …… feel very distressed!”

    这个逆子!

This unfilial son!

    苏玉峰只觉得一口老血卡在喉咙里,他就不明白了苏家三代忠良,怎么就能生出苏锐这个忤逆常伦的小畜生来!

Su Yu Feng only felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He did not understand. Three generations of Su Jia were loyal and upright, how was it possible to give birth to Su Rui this disobedient and unfilial small beast!

    眼见着苏玉峰就要发飙,苏晚此时却弱弱的从苏锐怀里抬起头来,微不可查的冲着苏玉峰摇了摇头:“父亲,我没事。”

When Su Yu Feng was on the verge of flipping out soon from worry, Su Wan weakly and feebly lifted up her head from Su Rui’s embrace. She couldn’t check what was going on so she just shook her head at Su Yu Feng: “Father, I’m alright.”

    见到女儿如此柔弱却又隐忍的模样,苏玉峰的心又紧了紧,他突然间发现到自己真的不是一个好父亲。

Seeing his daughter’s weak but forbearing appearance, Su Yu Feng’s heart tightened. He suddenly realized that he was not a good father.

    在心底深叹了一口气,苏玉峰这才面色如常的抬手指挥着大军继续前进:”回京吧!苏锐,照顾好你姐姐!若是她有什么闪失,唯你是问!”

He deeply sighed in his heart. After his expression reverted back to normal, Su Yu Feng raised his hand and commanded the army to continue advancing: “Return to the capital ba! Su Rui, look after your sister well! If she has any mishaps, only you will be held responsible!”

    “呵。”

“A.”

    苏锐只是有些不屑的勾了勾唇角,低头垂眸的瞬间,却又对着苏晚露出无比温柔的神色:“姐姐,我带你回去。”

Su Rui only had some disdain as he hooked the corner of his mouth. In a split second when he hung down his head and lowered his eyes, he showed Su Wan a look filled with unparalleled gentleness and softness: “Jiejie, I’ll bring you back.”

    “嗯。”

“Ng.”

    苏晚似乎认命般也不挣扎,静静的任凭苏锐摆布。

Su Wan seemed as if she accepted her fate and didn’t struggle. She calmly and quietly allowed Su Rui to arrange things.

    回到京城,大军一路受到百姓们的热烈欢迎,而此时的苏府门口也是门庭若市,好不热闹……

When they reached the capital, the army received a warm welcome from the common people all the way. Also, right now the entrance of Su fu was crowded like a marketplace and was a scene of bustle and excitement.

    苏玉峰回京第一件事自然是立刻进宫觐见陛下,没人知道苏大将军和陛下到底谈论了什么,但是苏将军府却在当晚给从前所有递了拜帖的人送了回帖,帖子上注明了时间,邀请所有人第二日的晚上到苏府参加晚宴。

The first order of business when Su Yu Feng returned to the capital was naturally to immediately go to the Imperial palace to present himself before the Emperor. No one knew what Generalissimo Su and the Emperor talked about but the General Su fu sent a reply to all the people who previously sent invitation cards that very night. The invitation clearly stated the time that everyone was invited to attend the banquet that Su Jia was holding on the night of the second day.

    虽然这晚宴的目的是什么回帖上没有写,但是大家都是心知肚明,苏大将军与陛下一定是达成了某种协议,而这其中的关键就是苏晚的婚事。

Although the purpose of this banquet was not written on the invitation, everyone was well aware that Generalissimo Su and the Emperor reached some sort of agreement and among them was the most critical matter, Su Wan’s marriage.

    在这件事上本就是皇室理亏,如今让苏将军府自己选择也是无可厚非的事情。

Regarding this matter, the royal family was in the wrong. It is understandable that the General Su fu will make their own choice on Su Wan’s marriage partner.

    轩辕睿没想到自己也会受到回帖,他还以为苏玉峰恨不得把自己拨皮拆骨呢!不过转眼想到苏晚对自己痴心不悔,轩辕睿也就安下心来,恐怕这也是苏晚的主意。

Xuan Yuan Rui didn’t expect that he himself would also get an invitation card. He still thought that Su Yu Feng was dying to skin him and tear apart his bones ne! However, Xuan Yuan Rui thought of how Su Wan was completely infatuated with him and calmed his heart down. Perhaps, this was Su Wan’s decision. [Blu: PTUI! *spits*]

    一想到被众人追求的女子,一心想的只有自己轩辕睿就就得无比的满足和虚荣,在想想苏晚如今明艳动人的模样,轩辕睿觉得自己似乎又对她动了心……

The moment he thought of that woman that everyone was pursuing, he satisfyingly and conceitedly thought in his heart that he himself, Xuan Yuan Rui was unparalleled and unmatched. He thought of Su Wan’s recently bright and moving appearance, Xuan Yuan Rui felt as if she moved his heart…… [Blu: *rolls eyes*]

    到了晚宴那天,天还没黑透,苏府的大门口就已经停满了轿子和马车,一群群达官显贵都盛装出席。

On the day of the banquet, the day was not completely dark yet when the entrance of Su fu was already parked full of sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages. There were groups of high ranking officials and nobles who all dressed up extravagantly to attend the banquet.

    而相比前厅的热闹,苏晚所居住的后院一直很平静,她在绿朱的伺候下沐浴更衣,整个人看起来一点都不紧张。

Compared to the excitement at the front hall, the residence in the backyard where Su Wan lived in was very tranquil. Lu Zhu waited upon her as she bathed and changed her clothes, her entire person had no trace of nervousness at all.

    绿朱看着镜子里苏晚淡然的脸庞,忍不住的低声询问了一句:“郡主,你今晚一定要献舞吗?”

Lu Zhu looked at the cool face of Su Wan in the mirror and couldn’t help but whisper a question: “Junzhu, tonight must you display your dance?”

    “嗯。”

“Ng.”

    苏晚淡淡点了点头,她曾经在某个世界里做了一辈子的舞蹈演员,对于跳舞这件事简直是手到擒来,当然今晚这场舞不是她的心血来潮,也不是想证明她这个人多么有魅力。

Su Wan indifferently nodded her head. She once lived as a dancer in one of the worlds she visited. Concerning this matter of dancing, it was very easy. Of course, this dance display was not done on a whim nor was it to prove her charisma.

    苏晚不相信感情,对于那些一舞倾心,一见钟情的故事,苏晚向来是嗤之以鼻的——

Su Wan does not believe in feelings. Regarding those stories where they adore and fall in love at first sight after watching a dance, Su Wan has always despised such stories.

    一舞倾心?倾心的那是身材。

Adoring after a dance? This adoration was naturally adoring the figure.

    一见钟情?钟情的那是脸。

Fall in love at first sight? This love was naturally loving the face.

    她今晚这么做,只是想在所有人面前传递一个信号,传递一个心思……

She is doing this tonight only because she wanted to transmit a message in front of everyone, transmit an idea……

    随着客人的到齐,苏府的晚宴也正式开始,只是让所有人没想到的是坐在主位上的只有苏玉峰,苏锐安静的坐在苏玉峰下面的位置,而苏玉峰身边的侧位却是空着的。

When all the guests arrived, the banquet in Su fu officially began but what everyone did not expect was that Su Yu Feng was sitting in the main seat, Su Rui quietly sat at the seat below Su Yu Feng while the seat beside Su Yu Feng was empty.

    小郡主呢?

Xiao Junzhu ne?

    莫非身体又不舒服了?

Could it be that she was unwell again?

    在场的所有宾客并没有窃窃私语,但是每个人的目光里都带着探究和疑惑。

All the guests who were standing together did not break out in whispers but everyone’s gaze contained a probing and uncertain look.

    就在这个时候,苏玉峰突然用力的拍了拍手,一群穿着白色长裙的绝色舞姬翩然涌入,随着悠扬的乐曲,一群舞姬翩翩起舞。姿态妖娆。

It is exactly at this time Su Yu Feng clapped with force. A group of exceedingly beautiful dancers dressed in white skirts lightly poured in along with mellifluous music. The group of female dancers danced lightly and gracefully. Their bearing bewitching.

    在场的人都是皇亲贵胄对于这样的场面简直司空见惯,但是为了给苏将军留下好印象,所有人都洋装很是入迷的欣赏着舞蹈,只有司御一个人坐在席位上,心底里一直想着苏晚的事情。

Everyone present were kinsmen of the Emperor or descendants of aristocrats. This kind of scene is simple a common occurrence. But in order to leave a good impression on General Su, everyone put on a look of appreciating the dance on their faces. Only Physician Si alone in his seat, thinking of Su Wan in his heart.

    莫非她又有什么不舒服?

Is it possible that she has something making her unwell?

    不可能啊!自己明明给她诊断过,她的身体已经没有大碍了啊!

That’s not possible a! He himself had given her a diagnosis. Her body has no big issues anymore a!

    就在司御胡思乱想的时候,大厅里忽然传出阵阵惊呼。

Right when Physician Si let his imagination run wild, the inside of the hall suddenly burst in shouts of exclamation.

    司御好奇的抬眸就看到了那一片雪白里的那抹嫣红。

Physician Si curiously lifted his eyes and saw that in the sea of white was a splash of red.

    苏晚依旧穿着火红色的长裙,衬托着她的肤色更加的苍白,她在最中央的位置翩翩而舞,一只手腕上带着银铃,随着她的手臂摆动,清脆回响,而她的另一只手上却拿着一个小巧的酒杯,里面盛满了酒水,但是在她跳舞的时候那杯酒却一滴都没有洒出来。

Su Wan, as before, was dressed in a fiery red skirt that served as a foil to make the colour of her skin look more pale. She was at the center-most position, dancing unrestrainedly. She wore a silver bell on her wrist. Along with the swaying of her arm, a clear and melodious sound resounded throughout the hall. Her other hand was holding a small wineglass which was filled with wine but the whole time she was dancing, the wine in the cup never spilled a single drop.

    好厉害!

How very clever of her!

    所有人都有些意外,没想到一向病弱的小郡主竟然是个舞林高手!

Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect that the xiao Junzhu who was always ill was a master of dance!

    席位上的轩辕睿也一直盯着苏晚,他觉得自己似乎完全不了解苏晚,从前的那些岁月在他的脑海里一闪而过,在看看如今眼前的这个苏晚,一股陌生感,在轩辕睿的心底油然而生。

Xuan Yuan Rui who was seated kept staring at Su Wan. He felt that he didn’t seem to have understood Su Wan at all. The memory of these past years flashed through his mind. Now, looking again at the Su Wan before his eyes, an unfamiliar feeling raised in his heart.

    就在舞曲结束,所有人都觉得苏晚完成了表演,大家正打算热烈喝彩的时候,却见苏晚一个翩然翻转,整个人不着痕迹的竟然来到了宴会厅的某个席位的面前,此刻,丝竹停歇,那群舞姬顺序退场,苏晚却笑意盈盈的两只手拿着酒杯,把那被她一直端着的酒,递到了一个男人的面前——

At the end of the dance, everyone felt that Su Wan had finished performing and was going to enthusiastically applaud but Su Wan lightly walked over. Her face showed nothing, she stopped in front of some seats in the banquet hall. At this moment, the music ceased and the dancers withdrew in sequence. With a smiling expression, Su Wan delicately held the wine glass with both her hands and in front of a man, handed it to him.

    “我敬你!”

“I respect you!”

    原来,她一直拿着那杯酒,并不是想要显示自己的舞艺有多么强大,她只是想让所有人看见,她想要敬酒的人……

As it turns out, she reason she kept holding that cup of wine was not to display her formidable dancing skills. She just wanted everyone to see the person she was proposing a toast to…..
