Jiaochu

Chapter 366 Answer

After lunch, Ye Lingxi lay on the window sill and watched the clouds, when the bell came to say that Xiao Anzi was here.

Xiao Anzi came to reveal the news to her that Concubine Liu was returning to the palace.

She looked at the few clouds in the sky that sometimes gathered and dispersed, and had a premonition of parting again.

The next day, Concubine Liu took Ye Yuyao back to the palace.

Concubine Liu first came to Weiyang Palace to congratulate her, talked to Concubine Lan for a while, looked at Ye Jinnian, and then left.

When Ye Lingxi sent Concubine Liu off, she asked about her second sister's physical condition. Concubine Liu said she was fine. She wanted to see her second sister. Seeing that Concubine Liu was a little embarrassed, as if she had some concerns, she said she would wait for her. The second sister had rested and would go back in two days. When she was almost at the door, Concubine Liu told her not to send her off. The smile on her face was a little forced, as if she had something on her mind. She hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything. Then he left.

In the evening, Eunuch De came to pick up Concubine Lan for the dinner. He didn't see Ye Lingxi, so he asked. Zhu Er smiled and replied, "The princess is reciting the Three-Character Sutra to Your Highness." Eunuch De praised, "The princess is smart and smart. With the princess’s careful guidance, the Fourth Highness will surely become a highly talented person, both civil and military in the future.”

This time Ye Lanchen held a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was more grand than before, as if he was announcing something big.

On the way, Eunuch De revealed some news to Concubine Lan, but did not specify it clearly. He only said that there was another happy event in the palace.

Here, after Ye Lingxi put Ye Jinnian to sleep, he walked to the yard and looked at the stars for a while, and Hehe brought a hand stove.

"There are so many stars in the sky, can the princess recognize them all?" Ling Dang came over and asked curiously.

She raised her finger and pointed at the star due north and said, "That's the purple star, which represents due north. If you get lost and can't find north, just follow it."

Hehe covered her mouth and smiled, and Lingdang confidently expressed that she would not get lost. She knew all about the several dog holes in the palace. She said that there was a dog hole to the east of the imperial garden, but it was too small for anyone to get through. past. Hehe teased her whether she had drilled through it, but Lingdang denied it and gestured to how big the hole was. He couldn't drill it with his head. He said it with certainty, as if he had tested it with his head himself.

When the banquet ended, the night was already deep.

Xiao Anzi sent Lan Fei back.

Ye Lingxi was sitting by the window reading a book. Hearing the movement outside, he glanced out the window, put down the book and walked out.

Xiao Anzi came over to announce the good news and said: "The second princess is very happy. The emperor has just granted marriage to the second princess and Prince Meng in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Prince Meng is of noble character and capable of literature and martial arts. He will definitely not treat the second princess badly."

Hearing the news, Ye Lingxi was a little surprised. Although she had expected it, she didn't expect that the person to be married to would be Meng Tianlan.

"The emperor will definitely recommend a good marriage for the princess in the future. When the time comes, the servant will prepare a large gift for the princess. Please don't dislike it when the time comes." Xiao Anzi said some flattering words and then resigned.

Thinking of her marriage, Ye Lingxi lowered her eyelashes. Concubine Lan took her hand and said gently and lovingly: "Go inside first, don't catch a cold." She nodded and hummed, with a slightly forced smile on her lips.

After entering the house, Zhuer poured two cups of hot tea. Concubine Lan signaled, and Zhuer asked Hehe and Lingdang to leave first.

Looking at the rising white air in the tea cup in front of her, Ye Lingxi was a little lost in thought. After a while, she called her mother, paused, and swallowed the next words. Concubine Lan said: "Your grandmother told your mother-in-law before that if your daughter's family can marry the person you like in this life, it will be extremely lucky. If you are less lucky and fail to marry the person you like, you must marry a good husband. , but whether you can live a good life depends not on luck, but on personal ability. Your grandmother said that I have a weak temper and did not approve of me entering the palace at first." Speaking of this, Concubine Lan seemed sad and relieved. Smiling, "I always listen to your grandmother's words, but this time I made the decision."

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has the concubine ever regretted it?"

Concubine Lan shook her head gently and smiled: "I don't regret it." Her expression was gentle but firm, and thousands of words gathered into one answer, "I don't regret it."

She suddenly felt a little relieved, but also felt sad and distressed. If her mother-in-law knew the ending of her previous life, wouldn't she regret it? She lowered her eyes, grasped the dress on her knees with both hands, and the questions in her heart were ready to come out, and she raised her head to face Those gentle and loving eyes, at that moment, she suddenly felt that they were no longer important. Those eyes were filled with the light of happiness. She suddenly realized that from unknown time on, there was always a light in those eyes. With a happy smile.

Looking at those eyes, she also smiled.

No need to ask more, no need to say more, all the answers are in your heart. Only you will know whether you will regret it or not. Whether it is worth it or not, only you know how you want to live, whether you live your life complaining about others or living it freely and comfortably, it all depends on your personal ability.

But she is still a little selfish and hopes her luck will be better.

After breakfast the next day, Meng Jingxiu hurried to Weiyang Palace. As soon as she saw Ye Lingxi, she couldn't wait to say, "My eldest brother is getting married!" She was still a little unbelievable when she told the news, so she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. .

"Are you going to get married to your second sister?" Ye Lingxi added.

Meng Jingxiu nodded vigorously.

"Sister Jing'er, please sit down first."

After Meng Jingxiu sat down, she stood up again within three seconds. After walking back and forth for a few steps, she sat down again. She asked Ye Lingxi about Ye Yuyao's temperament. She said, "Second sister is gentle and lovely, and she can also play the piano well." "It's very good. Sister Jing'er has met the second sister before. She is beautiful and has a good temper." Meng Jingxiu asked anxiously, "Has the second princess..." She paused and whispered the next three words. One word, "Sweetheart?"

Ye Lingxi shook her head slightly and asked, "What about Brother Meng?"

Meng Jingxiu was stunned for a moment, as if she had not thought about this problem. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "Probably not. My eldest brother always stays in the military camp. Apart from practicing martial arts, he is also training troops. He is so busy that he never sees anyone." Here, she sighed, "If the eldest brother is still so busy after the second princess gets married, how can the two of them enhance their relationship?" Thinking of this, she was quite worried.

Ye Lingxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She couldn't think of a better way to improve the relationship. She wanted to comfort her by saying that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. It was like an innocuous sarcastic remark. If it were her, she would not hear this sentence. You probably want to roll your eyes at this.

Meng Jingxiu was bored with her thoughts and suggested going out for a walk. Ye Lingxi asked Hehe to stay. Whenever she went out, she would ask Hehe or Lingdang to stay and look after Ye Jinnian.

The flowers in the imperial garden have not bloomed yet, and the bare branches look a little bleak.

As the saying goes, the two of them felt a little heavy and didn't speak on the way.
