happy match

Ye Qingning specially asked Ye Qinglan to come over, of course there was a purpose.

In the past few days, Ye Qinglan has been forcing a smile on her face. On the one hand, it is because Gu Xinian has not replied for a long time, and more importantly, she is afraid that the queen will refer to her marriage at any time.It's rare for Zhang Yue to come today, so I have to ask clearly.

Either way, you have to face reality.It is actually more uncomfortable to be dragged in such a constant suspension.

Ye Qingning winked at Ye Qinglan, signaling Ye Qinglan to sit beside her.

The moment Ye Qinglan saw Zhang Yue, she guessed Ye Qingning's intentions, but she didn't stop her.Silently sat beside Ye Qingning.What's going on... It should all be clear later!

Ye Qingning said with a smile: "Aunt Cousin, when I entered the palace with my mother a few days ago, I happened to meet Cousin Yue in the imperial garden!"

Mrs. Xu didn't suspect that Ye Qingning was talking nonsense, and responded with a smile: "I heard what Yue'er said. It's really a coincidence that the Empress called me into the palace to talk that day. I didn't expect you to also enter the palace."

Ye Qingning pretended to be casual and asked with a smile: "The Empress specially invited you and Cousin Yue into the palace, is there any happy event?"

Xu smiled, but did not answer the question directly, and replied vaguely: "It's nothing serious, just talking."

Ye Qingning still wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Zheng's frowning and winking, she reluctantly stopped talking.

Then Zheng smiled and said: "Don't blame my cousin, Ning'er has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she always likes to ask questions. Such a temperament is nothing at home. But in the future, when she gets married and becomes a daughter-in-law, let her I have a headache." As he spoke, he still sighed in style.

Ye Qingning was secretly happy.The mother was really hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so she was clearly helping her to ask what happened.What's more, what my mother said is much better than her previous question.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Xu couldn't hide it too much, and revealed a little bit: "Don't criticize Sister Ning. I brought Sister Yue into the palace that day. There are indeed some reasons. However, This matter has not been fully settled, so I will not speak out."

Zhang Yue lowered her head a little shyly.

Mrs. Zheng knew it in her heart, she smiled and said tentatively: "The Empress is going to be a matchmaker for Sister Yue!"

Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

……

Ye Qinglan's mind went blank, and she suddenly felt that she had no energy in her whole body.It was just guesswork before.Now it has been confirmed.As expected, Empress Gu wanted to be a matchmaker for Zhang Yue...

Ye Qingning looked at Ye Qinglan worriedly.The moment Xu nodded her head just now, Ye Qinglan's face suddenly turned pale.People can't help but worry that she will lose her composure in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Ye Qinglan has strong self-control, she only lost her composure for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.It's just that the bright eyes have lost the lively and smiling expression of the past.

Zheng's voice sounded: "This is a good thing that fell from the sky, I need to congratulate first."

Xu's reaction was a little strange, but there was not much joy.Instead, he sighed: "Whether it's a good thing or not, it's hard to say now. Forget it. Let's not talk about it." He seemed unwilling to talk about it.

Zheng was secretly surprised, but changed the subject cooperatively.

The three girls were silent at the same time.Zhang Yue was embarrassed by the mention of marriage, while Ye Qingning was worried about Ye Qinglan.But Ye Qinglan still felt that her mind was blank.

The smile on her face must be mechanical and stiff... But, this is already the limit of what she can do.She was completely out of the mood to talk.In my mind, only one thought kept flashing through.

Gu Xinian must have known about this, that's why he didn't reply for a long time...

Sitting stiffly for a moment.Finally, when Mrs. Xu got up to say goodbye.Mrs. Zheng hurriedly got up with a smile to see her off, and Ye Qinglan got up following Ye Qingning.Send Xu Shi and Zhang Yue out together.

After Mrs. Xu and Zhang Yue got into the carriage and left, Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Ye Qingning, and said in a low voice: "Look at you, you are so old, why are you still so reckless and impulsive. Ask me anything you think of." What, fortunately your cousin and aunt didn't bother with you. Otherwise, let's see how you end up today. "

From Zheng's point of view, Ye Qingning persisted in asking about this matter because she couldn't let go of Gu Xinian.Otherwise, why would you care so much about Zhang Yue being called into the palace by Queen Gu?

Ye Qingning was not in the mood to defend herself, and just sighed: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Mrs. Zheng smiled casually: "There's nothing unexpected about this. What an honor it is for the empress to give you a marriage. Sister Yue is so blessed. We should be happy for her." Although it was easy to say, Mrs. There are also hidden worries.

If Empress Gu is the matchmaker for Zhang Yue and Gu Xinian, the British government will be drawn into the prince's camp.Some things don't have much impact in the short term, but in the future...it's hard to say.

Naturally, Mrs. Zheng would not say these words to Ye Qingning, and only earnestly said: "I have made things clear to you today, and if you encounter such things in the future, you can't be so impulsive. You are not young, you can speak well Be careful..."

Ye Qingning casually nodded in response, and then looked at Ye Qinglan frequently.

Ye Qinglan lowered her head slightly, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

Ye Qingning originally planned to take Ye Qinglan to Huancui Pavilion to explain her away.It's a pity that Mrs. Zheng also followed, and the two sisters didn't have the chance to talk.Ye Qinglan took her leave first and left.

Ye Qingning absentmindedly listened to Zheng's admonition, from what she should do as a daughter-in-law at the beginning, to being filial to her parents-in-law and caring for her husband's handling of her servants, she kept talking about it for a long time.In the evening, I finally had some free time.

"Zhixia, go and invite tenth sister over... Forget it, I'll go to Hefengyuan to find her." Ye Qingning hurried out the door, Zhixia followed in confusion, muttering to herself.What's wrong with miss today, you're in such a hurry to find miss ten?

After arriving at the Lotus Wind Courtyard, Ye Qingning arrived outside Ye Qinglan's dormitory with ease.

Ruixue was waiting outside, she was very surprised to see Ye Qingning coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "Why is Miss Six here?"

Ye Qingning didn't want to say more, and asked straightforwardly: "Where is Shimei?"

"Miss is staying alone in the room!" Ruixue responded, "I wanted to go in to serve you, but Miss said she wanted to be alone..."

Ye Qingning's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly opened the door.

However, the expected scene of Ye Qinglan hiding in the room and weeping alone did not appear.Ye Qinglan was indeed alone in the room, but she was doing her needlework with her head down.

Hearing the movement, Ye Qinglan raised her head with a smile, "Sixth sister, why are you here, come and sit down quickly." She raised the half-embroidered baby bellyband in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is the one I embroidered recently. The best one. When my sister-in-law is born, I will send it as a congratulatory gift. Quickly help me to see, is it okay?"

Ye Qingning: "..."

Zhixia is the smartest, and she exchanged a glance with Ruixue before leaving the room.

After the door was closed, Ye Qingning said angrily: "Why do you still have the heart to embroider this. If you wait any longer, the empress will really order a marriage."

The movements in Ye Qinglan's hands stopped, she twitched the corners of her lips, and forced out a smile: "The empress's gift of marriage is a great joy, and it is also the honor of Dingguo and the British government. What else can I do besides blessing You can’t force Cousin Gu to elope!”

...Actually, the idea of ​​elopement is not bad.

Ye Qingning's thoughts were clearly revealed in his eyes, and Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing when she saw it.But behind the calm smile, the heart hurts badly.

"Sixth Sister, actually, you know better than I do that elopement is impossible." Ye Qinglan said slowly: "Cousin Gu is the grandson of Duke Dingguo's mansion, and he will inherit the title to take charge of the mansion in the future. If Really doing this kind of thing will not only shame the Dingguo government, but also hurt the face of Queen Gu and the prince. It will also completely annoy the British government. No matter how willful he is, he will not put his relatives at risk. regardless of."

What's more, Gu Xinian still has such blood feud.Empress Gu and the prince needed him, so why didn't he need to use the power of empress Gu and the prince to deal with the third prince and avenge himself and his family in the previous life.

How could he leave the capital and fly away with her like this?

It is precisely because she sees too thoroughly that she will never hold such expectations.

"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Qingning's eyes were full of anxiety: "Are you just watching the empress give marriages to the two of them, and watching your cousin marry someone else?"

Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, then said with a faint smile: "That's the only way to go." Then she said in a cheerful voice: "Don't worry about me, without Cousin Gu, maybe there will be better ones in the future." , I will never fail to marry..."

Just as she was talking, Ye Qingning suddenly leaned over and hugged her, choked up and said, "You cry out when you feel sad, why are you so brave. It's okay to hide it in front of others, but do you still want to do it in front of me?" ? Do you still treat me as a sister..."

As he spoke, tears were already falling down.

Ye Qinglan is used to comforting others, used to sending warm embraces to good friends when they are sad, and used to sharing pain for patients.I never thought that one day, there would be someone who hugged her so distressedly to comfort her...

The soreness and pain that had been suppressed in the bottom of my heart suddenly came to my heart at this moment.Nose sore, can't say anything.Hot liquid dripped from the corners of his eyes.

The pain was not intense, but very long.It was like a blunt knife cutting her heart back and forth.That bit of pain spread from the bottom of my heart, and slowly spread to all corners of my body.She had lived 28 years in her previous life, and she had never experienced such a feeling.

Gu Xinian, the two of us, are we really going to end like this? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
