Jiaochu

Chapter 508 Farewell

As the days approached, Ye Lingxi became more and more dazed. Sometimes she would sit by the window for an entire afternoon, and sometimes she would stand by the window for an entire morning. Her eyes would always be on the gate, where palace people were coming in and out, busy. It kept going, but there was no figure she wanted to see. The surroundings were busy, and she was like an irrelevant idler, waiting for the leaves to turn yellow one by one, and the time passed little by little...

On the day when the wedding dress was delivered, the bright red color reminded her of her previous life. She thought of Zhao Ce, and felt strange in her heart. She wondered why he was so calm this time. Could it be that he was in love with someone else? She was confused. After guessing, Hehe and Lingdang changed her into the wedding clothes. Zhu'er and Aunt Qiu looked at it carefully and felt that the cuffs and collar needed to be changed again. Hehe and Lingdang changed her into the wedding clothes. Aunt Qiu would The wedding dress was sent back to the embroidery workshop and I personally told the embroiderer how to change it.

Another day passed, the wedding clothes were delivered again, and the phoenix crown for the wedding was also delivered.

This time, after Hehe and Lingdang put her in wedding clothes and a phoenix crown, Aunt Qiu and Pearl were both satisfied.

Two days later, Murong Ze led a vast welcoming team back to the capital. The streets were crowded with people on both sides. Some people had heard that the King of the North of New Town had inconvenient legs and feet and had to sit all day. He was in a wheelchair and was surprised to see him riding a horse today without any difficulty in his legs and feet.

Since the newlyweds could not meet before the wedding, Murong Ze did not live in Liuli Garden inside the palace, but stayed in a posthouse outside the palace.

Jingzhe came to report a letter to Changxin Palace, but Lingdang still didn't give him a good look. Jingzhe didn't care and left after reporting the letter.

Lingdang reported the news of Murongze's arrival to Ye Lingxi. She didn't ask any questions. Her expression was indifferent, and there was a faint light in her eyes, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker, like a faint and selfish hope, and sometimes reason took over. The upper hand is sometimes disturbed by emotional impulses.

She rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist countless times, and stood by the window day after day, looking at the door. She selfishly hoped that he would show up, but was afraid to meet him. She did not have the courage to elope, nor leave everything behind. If she met him, she would probably use sharp words to wound him to pieces, so it would be better not to see him again.

But she still wanted to see him alive, and she still wanted to make a clear break with him. Being unclear and procrastinating became a thorn in the hearts of others and trapped herself. She looked down upon him. Such people look down upon themselves even more.

She strengthened her determination in her heart over and over again, and overturned it selfishly over and over again. As time approached step by step, she fell into an indescribable anxiety and panic, wanting to vent her anger on others, and wanting to Pretending to be sick, wanting to escape, wanting time to pass a little slower, a little slower...

But the sun still rose from the eastern horizon on time, and she still had to open her eyes and face everything.

Accompanied by Eunuch De, she first went to bid farewell to her father, then to the Queen, and then to Concubine Lan.

After listening to her mother's instructions, she finally couldn't hold it back and cried like a wronged child. Seeing her mother also crying, she tried her best to hold back the tears and wanted to say something happy to her mother. She was happier, but after searching her mind, she couldn't think of anything. She could only comfort her mother and concubine, saying that the New Year would be in three months, and she would also come to the capital after the New Year, and she would definitely stay longer by then. After hearing this, Concubine Lan felt a little relieved and her tears stopped.

In the evening, she called He He and Ling Ding to her side and asked them if they wanted to leave the palace. If they wanted to, she would ask the queen for a favor tomorrow. Tomorrow would be a good day for her, and even her father would give her face. Ling Dang is determined to accompany Ye Lingxi to the north, otherwise he will go on a hunger strike to express his ambition. Hehe didn't move away, and his eye circles were red. Ye Lingxi did not force the two of them, and promised that as long as she was around, they would never let them suffer in the north.

There were noisy sounds outside the door. Ye Lingxi heard Xiao Anzi's voice, which seemed to be persuading people. When she heard the word "banquet", she immediately got up and ran out. The blood in her body seemed to be flowing faster, and the sound of her heartbeat drowned out the surrounding people. Everything, my feet seemed to be stepping on the clouds, light and unruly.

When she ran out the door and saw the figure she cared about day and night, the blood in her body seemed to be boiling hot, and she rushed over to hug him desperately. Hehe and Lingdang were shocked, and they couldn't say anything. Xiao Anzi beside them persuaded, "Princess, it's better to talk inside first, lest anyone come in and see you." After saying that, he asked Hehe and Lingdang to go to the door and guard it to prevent outsiders from coming in.

"Brother Yan," she raised her head and met those eyes as cold as cold stars. It was like a bucket of ice water poured from head to toe. The next words were frozen in her throat and she couldn't say them out. She tried her best to restrain herself under those cold eyes. She was angry, but every line and muscle on her face was tense and cold. She lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes. Her chest was so tight that her body was shaking slightly, as if she was about to faint, but she Hold your breath and hold on, never faint, never let yourself be so cowardly.

She didn't know how long it took, whether it was a minute or a quarter of an hour, or a moment as long as a century, she heard his cold voice falling from the top of her head, like a huge stone weighing on her head, making it impossible for her to even lift her neck.

"Am I not good enough to compare with him?"

She wanted to shake her head, but her reason told her that she had to be tough, speak clearly, and make it clear.

She reached out and grabbed his hard and cold wrist and dragged him forward. After entering the house, he stood like a cold and stubborn puppet, with only a dark silence in his eyes. She turned around to close the door and planned to say something. Clearly, the moment the door closed, she was embraced by a pair of cold, hard arms from behind.

He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his own bones and blood. He lowered his head and pressed it against her ear. His voice was cold but gentle, "I'm sorry, I came back late. Don't marry him, okay?" Okay." His pleading, putting aside his pride, was like steel nails piercing her heart, making every hair strand and every pore hurt. She really wanted to agree to him at all costs and say she wouldn't marry, but she In the end, she still couldn't do it, just because she was the princess of Dahui, and the burden on her shoulders would never be the personal relationship between her children, so she could only be cruel. The long-term pain was not as good as the short-term pain. She simply went through the pain once and dug out the scars. Only then can new flesh grow.

"It will be nice if Brother Yan comes back," she tried her best to maintain a calm tone, "but if I can come back a day or two early, I can treat you to dinner as a farewell. I can only wait until the next time I come back to treat you." He grabbed her hand. His shoulders turned her whole body over, facing him, staring into those eyes, her voice was as low as falling into a bottomless abyss, "Are you really going to marry him?"

She forced herself to nod and look directly into his eyes, "I said before that if my father granted me a marriage, I would not resist it." He opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute her. His eyes were so stubborn and resolute, able to cut off everything in the past without hesitation. He suddenly thought of something someone had said to him: in her heart, he would never be the most important.

He lowered his gaze dejectedly, smiled bitterly, slowly let go of her shoulders, and said to himself mockingly, "I know that in your heart, I will never be the most important," he apologized with his hands in hand. , "It was me who disturbed the princess." He turned around without stopping, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out without stopping, as if he understood that he was just a ridiculous clown, took back all his sincerity, and left without any regrets. .

When the blurry figure disappeared from her sight, she finally couldn't hold on anymore, as if her breath suddenly disappeared, her body slid down, and she collapsed on the ground, her two eyes soaked in cold tears, and she couldn't see anything. Not clear, just a blur.
