Chapter 19

Xiao Yunyue secretly screamed in his heart, but he slowly turned around and said, "I saw the excitement on the street and watched the lantern festival outside for a while." When Xiao Yunyue said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Duke Dingguo looked his son up and down and chuckled, but did not expose him.Seeing that there were waiters outside, I didn't want to say this in front of outsiders, so I said in a deep voice: "Come to my study."

After saying that, regardless of whether Xiao Yunyue followed or not, he turned around and walked towards the study.

Xiao Yunyue sighed and winked at Nanguan, asking him to return to the Hou Mansion first.Then he chased his father's back to the study.

Although Duke Dingguo has his own residence, he always lives in the eldest princess's residence whenever he is in Shengjing.For his convenience, the eldest princess of Jinyang renovated the original greenhouse next to the main house and turned it into a small study.

After Duke Dingguo asked the waiters to serve tea, they all left. For a while, only the father and son were left in the study.

Xiao Yunyue sat down opposite his father, and just took a sip of tea when he heard Ding Guogong say straight to the point: "I heard from your mother that you have a girl you like?"

"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Yunyue didn't expect his father to say such a thing directly. When he heard this sentence off guard, he almost choked to death on the sip of tea.

However, Duke Dingguo was still a little doubtful about his wife's words. Seeing Xiao Yunyue's reaction, he nodded and said, "It seems that what your mother said is true? Whose girl is it? Are you going to go with me tonight?" Did the girls watch the lantern show together?"

Xiao Yunyue didn't know how they figured it out, but after hearing this, he still answered: "Father, where did you want to go? With no orders from my parents and no engagement, how could you go to the lantern festival with me?"

Duke Dingguo nodded clearly: "That means you do have someone you like, but they don't like you."

Xiao Yunyue hesitated, but couldn't say anything to refute.After all, the girl doesn't know what he's thinking now, and the few times they were alone were all because of accidents.

Duke Dingguo's reaction to this matter was relatively indifferent. After all, when he was about the same age as his son, he made trouble with his family and asked to marry the eldest princess of Jinyang.In comparison, Xiao Yunyue's little movement was nothing.

However, his son, who had not been in love for more than ten years, seemed to like someone without any warning. Duke Dingguo asked with great interest: "Which lady is it from? If you really like it, why not Ask your mother to propose marriage? You have reached the age where you should get married."

Xiao Yunyue's ears turned red and she murmured for a long time. Duke Dingguo heard the general idea, which meant that he still wanted to wait until someone liked him before proposing marriage, and then he refused to say who it was.

When Duke Dingguo saw this, he didn't force him. He just told him not to do anything inappropriate, and then his expression became serious.

When Xiao Yunyue saw this, he knew that his father had other serious matters to talk to him about, so he became serious.

"There is news from Youzhou that after Rouran went north, new tribes appeared outside the pass. They have great appeal on the grassland. Currently, many small tribes that previously relied on Rouran have been moved closer to them."

The nomadic people on the grassland believe that the strong is king. Rouran, who has been expelled by Dayan's cavalry, is naturally not strong, and will naturally lose its dominance over the grassland.

Xiao Yunyue's expression was extremely serious: "Is there any movement in Jinyun City?"

Duke Dingguo shook his head: "Not yet. Only a small group of riders seem to have been spying on things in Jinyun City. The same news has also come from the neighboring Jizhou border."

The outside of Jinyun City is already regarded as outside the pass. Since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, it has been invaded by outsiders.If there is a war, it must be the first smoke to be ignited from here. The name of Dayan's most elite cavalry, Youyun Sixteen Cavalry, also comes from it.Although it was just a small group of rangers snooping for the time being, no one thought they would stop at snooping.

Just like the dynasties in the Central Plains would change, the rulers on the grasslands actually changed more than once.But no matter how many rulers were changed, the covetousness of the rich Central Plains from outside the Pass has never disappeared.

Xiao Yunyue pondered for a while and said: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to see Your Majesty and ask for your order to go back to Youzhou to investigate."

However, Duke Dingguo did not agree to his son's proposal: "I will go to explain the matter to Your Majesty tomorrow. You just took the post of commander of the Yulin Guards today. Besides, there is no war in Youzhou at this time. It is not appropriate for you to leave Shengli at this time." Beijing."

Xiao Yunyue thought about it, but still said: "I will write to Meng Shu tomorrow and ask Youyun Sixteenth Cavalry to send spies to pay attention to the movements outside the pass."

Duke Dingguo nodded and then said: "It's already late at night. You can stay at the Princess Mansion to rest today. I'm afraid your mother will ask you again tomorrow."

Xiao Yunyue sighed inwardly, then nodded.

Over there, Yuan Lingheng, who was ready to rest after returning home, couldn't sleep.He suddenly remembered what Yuan Miaoyi said to Xiao Yunyue on the way back.

A pure heart and an open mind.

Thinking of the two intersections between his sister and Xiao Yunyue, Yuan Lingheng became a little worried.Because he suddenly realized that his sister was no longer the child in his memory, and she would be pregnant in the second half of the year.

Although it is important for a young lady in Dayan to have a hairpin, it is rare for a girl from Dayan to get married as soon as she has a hairpin.But most of your family members will check with each other in advance, and maybe after the second half of the year, they will also mention this matter.

As for Xiao Yunyue, to be fair to Yuan Lingheng, almost half of the noble ladies in Shengjing were happy with him, and the most famous one was Princess Jianing, who was obsessed with Xiao Yunyue.

His family was of a noble family, and Jinyang was the place where Yan flourished. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was able to give this place as a title to the eldest princess, which shows the emperor's trust in his sister.My father's family guards the border, holds great power, and is granted the title of Duke.

In Dayan, the Xiao family is already extremely valuable.

Besides, Xiao Yunyue himself was not a playboy with no future. As a young man, he traveled north to Rouran and was granted the title of Marquis for his merits.No matter whether he is a distinguished person or a noble person, who wouldn't want him to be his son-in-law?
What if my sister is interested in Xiao Yunyue because of these two intersections?
In Yuan Lingheng's heart, his sister was naturally worthy of the best man in the world.

But if it was really the young girl's first love and she didn't get a response, would my sister be very sad?

Yuan Lingheng thought again of the way his father held his child and smiled tenderly when he saw him in Langfang today. At this time, there was still anger in his heart.

His younger sister had never received such love from her father since she was born. She later lost her mother. She already lost too much in terms of family ties. Yuan Lingheng did not want her to be emotionally frustrated as well.

But even though she was her dearest sister, Yuan Miaoyi almost never hid anything from his brother, but if it was really her family's concern, how could he ask?
So Yuan Lingheng, who had always had time to live, lay on the bed this night and fell into deep contemplation.
