happy match

After returning to the mansion, the group first went to Changhe Hall to greet Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xue and others were also there, and you asked me about the situation of entering the palace.Although the two of them are also the daughter-in-law of the Changyuan uncle's mansion, they have never entered the palace.The Zheng family is different, her own younger sister entered the palace as a noble concubine, although it was inconvenient for frequent visits, she had at least entered the palace a few times.

Ye Qingrou and Ye Qingfu surrounded Ye Qingning, amazed at those boxes of jewelry.

"These head and face jewelry are so beautiful." Ye Qingrou's eyes were about to shine.

Ye Qingfu also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is indeed a gift from the imperial concubine, everything is so exquisite."

Ye Qingning couldn't get used to their appearance of bumpkins who had never seen the world, and ignored the two of them.Instead, she whispered to Ye Qinglan: "Sister Ten, go to Huancui Pavilion to talk later."

Ye Qinglan was rarely in a flustered mood, so she nodded casually in response.Then he secretly laughed at himself, as it turns out, those who can heal others cannot heal themselves.It's easy to persuade others, but it's really your own turn to know how uncomfortable this feeling is.

She thought she could take all this indifferently, but when things really came to her, she felt indescribably depressed and irritable.How can not be calm.

After returning to Huancui Pavilion, the maids retreated knowingly. There were only Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan in the room, and no one would overhear their words.

Ye Qingning looked worried: "Sister Shi, what if the Empress Dowager actually proposes marriage for Cousin Yue and Cousin Gu?"

Ye Qinglan smiled wryly: "I don't know either." In this feudal era where imperial power was above everything else, a woman's strength was really too weak.For a moment she could not think of what she could do.

Ye Qingning saw that Ye Qinglan was in a state of confusion.He comforted him again: "I don't know exactly what happened, everything is just our imagination. Don't worry, maybe it's all a misunderstanding. The empress just asked her cousin to come into the palace to talk to her on a whim." Said In the end, I felt far-fetched and couldn't help sighing.After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know if my cousin knows about this. With his temperament, he will definitely not let others influence his life's major events."

Ye Qinglan calmed down and replied: "I heard from Cousin Xiyu that my cousin's parents and grandparents were very fond of Cousin Yue before. If it wasn't for his refusal to nod in agreement, I'm afraid the marriage has already been settled."

...It's over, it's strange that the empress is not planning to get married.

Ye Qingning couldn't bear to say this in her heart, but the expression on her face showed it clearly.

When the matter came to this point, Ye Qinglan calmed down instead: "If you really want to refer to marriage, then there is nothing you can do. It can only be said that there is no fate between me and him." It is impossible for Gu Xinian to resist the order for her!She is not going to die or live unless he does not marry.In the end, there is only one...

Ye Qingning was even more sad than Ye Qinglan.Eye sockets were faintly red: "Why did I encounter such a thing?"

Ye Qinglan suppressed the soreness in her heart, and said with a faint smile: "Sixth sister, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I'm just a concubine, and it's really a delusion to marry into Dingguo's mansion. In fact, I was prepared from the beginning, and this day will come sooner or later." things."

The more calm she looked, the more uncomfortable Ye Qingning was: "Sister Ten, how can you be so calm. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Qinglan felt a tingling pain in her heart, but she tried her best to suppress the emotion: "So what can I do if I feel uncomfortable. Life has to go on. If you don't have this fate, you can only give up."

"No, you can't just give up so vaguely." Ye Qingning said angrily, "You have to ask Cousin Gu personally and let him give you an explanation."

Ye Qinglan remained silent.It's easy to say, with so many pairs of eyes watching, it's not easy to meet in private.

Ye Qingning also felt that this idea was inappropriate, so she immediately changed her mind and said, "Why don't you send someone a letter to Duke Dingguo's mansion. If it's not convenient to send a letter directly to my cousin, then send it to Cousin Xiyu and ask her to help you." Just hand it over."

Sending letters is actually very convenient.Since Ruomei can deliver news to Gu Xinian at any time.Sending a letter shouldn't be too difficult.

Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

That night, after returning to Hefengyuan, Ye Qinglan called Ruomei into the room to talk alone: ​​"...can you deliver a letter to my cousin?"

Ruomei was startled, and immediately responded: "Of course, but it's better to write less. Too much is too eye-catching."

Ye Qinglan hummed and went to her small study.After grinding the ink, he picked up the pen and quickly wrote a few lines, then folded the letter paper and gave it to Ruomei.

Ruomei didn't ask any more questions from the beginning to the end.He only said in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry, this letter will be delivered to the young master soon. If the young master has a reply, he will send it back soon. It will never exceed two days."

Ye Qinglan pulled the corners of her lips, but her heart felt heavy.

That night, Ruomei spread the letter.

The next day, Ye Qinglan couldn't be interested in doing anything, and she couldn't even talk.Has Gu Xinian already read her letter?How will he react?When will she hear from him?

……

The more I tried to calm down, the more these annoying thoughts lingered.Sure enough, she was not as calm and calm as she imagined.

A day later, no reply.

Another day passed and still no reply.

Ye Qinglan's heart sank bit by bit, and suddenly felt that it was painful to even force a smile.Obviously in a mess in my heart, but I still pretend to be indifferent in front of others.Probably only Ruomei could see that she was upset.

Ruomei found a chance to get close to her, and whispered apologetically, "Miss, don't be in a hurry. The messenger outside the house was probably negligent. So I didn't send the young master's reply in time. Miss, please wait patiently, maybe it will be very late." A reply will come soon."

It's really strange to say that this has never happened before, why is it late for no reason this time?Could it be that the young master didn't write a reply?Ruomei thought secretly, but couldn't bear to say this guess.

With Ye Qinglan's intelligence, how could she not have thought of this?

Ye Qinglan laughed at herself: "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, just wait. Maybe my cousin didn't write back, so I don't even have to wait."

Ruomei immediately comforted her with a smile: "Miss, don't worry too much. The young master has always cared about her, so he won't even reply."

Ye Qinglan didn't say anything more.But I can't help thinking ups and downs in my heart and can't calm down for a long time.

If... Gu Xinian really didn't reply to her letter, then his attitude is already obvious.It is beautiful to have mutual affection and wishful thinking, but if you encounter irresistible factors such as finger marriage, there is no way to do it.No matter how capable Gu Xinian is, it's impossible for him to overwhelm all his relatives.Especially if there is an aunt who is a queen, if she decides to use his relatives to win over the British government for the prince, how can Gu Xinian escape?

Perhaps, the fate between the two of them has come to an end...

Ye Qinglan didn't hide in the room alone and shed tears secretly, nor was she particularly sad or disappointed.There is nothing like that heart-piercing pain.

She was just a little sad, a little lost, and a little unwilling.This relationship, before it has time to properly manage and cultivate it, is about to be severely cut off in the budding state...

As the wedding day approached, many relatives and friends came to add makeup to Ye Qingning.The Huancui Pavilion was very lively with people coming and going, Ye Qinglan was in a bad mood and lost the interest to join in the fun.Every day I stay in my small study, play the piano and read books to relieve boredom, and occasionally look up at the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and then chat to ridicule.

Even if the two of them broke up in the future, Gu Xinian would not be stingy and ask for the painting back.She's not worthless either.

Ruomei stood aside, seeing Ye Qinglan staring at the painting in a daze again, she felt really uncomfortable.

When she was sent to Ye Qinglan's side at first, she actually felt a little unhappy.It's really depressing for a good hidden guard to be sent to serve beside a delicate young lady, unable to display all her abilities.But after getting along for so many days, Ye Qinglan's kindness and easy-going make people feel at ease, and the extraordinary intelligence she occasionally reveals makes people dare not underestimate it.It's not bad to be able to follow such a master.

But what's going on now?Obviously sent the letter, but the young master didn't reply for several days.Two days ago, she could comfort Ye Qinglan that the letter was delivered late, but it has been five or six days, and there is still no news...

"Miss," Ruixue walked in with a smile, "Miss Six invites you to Huancui Pavilion to talk!"

Ye Qinglan turned her eyes away from the painting, and said with a faint smile, "Okay, I'll go there now."

Her smile was the same as usual, but for some reason, Ruixue also noticed something was wrong, she hesitated for a moment and asked: "Miss, is there anything bothering you?"

In the past few days, the lady's words were much less than usual, and her smile seemed to be squeezed out on purpose.Occasionally, he would be in a daze and distracted, as if something was on his mind.

Ye Qinglan lifted her spirits and smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't think about it. Come on, come with me, Sixth Sister is impatient, don't make her wait anxiously." It's better to talk to someone than to be alone Cranky is much stronger.

Ruixue had no choice but to swallow back the questions she was full of, and followed Ye Qinglan to Huancui Pavilion.

But Ye Qingning was not the only one in Huancui Pavilion, the Duke and Duchess of England also came.Obviously, they came here specially to add makeup to Ye Qingning, and there were stacks of brocade boxes of different sizes on the table beside her.

Mrs. Zheng was smiling and talking with Mrs. Xu.Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue were sitting together, chatting and laughing in low voices.

Ye Qinglan's eyes flicked over Zhang Yue's smiling face, and a trace of inexplicable sourness and disappointment flashed in her heart, and then she went forward to greet everyone as if nothing had happened.
