Glory all the way

Chapter 275 Farewell

"Didn't say anything?"

Listening to Du Xuan talking about what happened in the front hall, Bai Yingluo looked suspicious.

Du Xuan also looked baffled, "Almost Chiji was talking, he only talked about the relationship between people in the capital, and he also cared about my errands in Honglu Temple. It doesn't make any real sense."

"What about Princess Qingcheng? Just listen to you?"

Bai Yingluo felt a little unbelievable.

Du Xuan shrugged, "In addition to calling 'flat body' when we met, and just now I said that I wanted to see the child. Although I was very reluctant in my heart, but she opened the mouth, I couldn't brush her face. In order to save face, it was too late for the manager to spread the word. Fortunately, she also knew that we were guarding against her, so she didn't ask to hug the baby, she only looked at the nurse from the nurse's arms, and then asked Chiji to take the gift for Brother Yan Come out and put it on for him."

As he spoke, Du Xuan raised his voice to call Chen Xiang, and asked her to bring over the tray that had just been brought back from the front yard.

The thick red velvet cloth was lifted to reveal a set of silver collars, bracelets, and anklets, and a pair of silver locks, one engraved with Dazhan Hongtu, and the other engraved with fragrant orchids.

Be it bracelets or cleats, they are all exquisite in workmanship, and you can tell at a glance that they are made by the imperial workshop in the palace.

But when Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo saw it, they felt a little weird.

When a child is born, grandparents and other elders will give longevity locks, and uncles and aunts of the same generation as the child's parents will give these delicate little things.

And those who are close but not related are mostly gifts of gold and silver, or small clothes for children, let alone those like Princess Qingcheng.

But what Princess Qingcheng gave them is really incomprehensible.

"I saw that Chi Ji moved his mouth to say something, but he glanced at her, but he didn't say anything, so I didn't ask."

Du Xuan recalled the scene at that time.

Shaking her head helplessly, Bai Yingluo sighed in a low voice: "As long as she doesn't draw your attention, and doesn't try to plot against us, I'd rather be a neighbor in such a peaceful way. Otherwise, I just hope that I can stay far away... ..."

This is the first time that Bai Yingluo expressed her worry in front of Du Xuan. Du Xuan comforted her with a smile: "Now, we have a son with everything to do, so we don't care about these messy things. Besides, it won't be long, She is about to leave the capital, and when the time comes, we will live our lives in peace and tranquility, and ignore others."

"Princess Qingcheng is going to fief the land? Did you hear what she said?"

Du Xuan's words made Bai Yingluo a little excited. Seeing him shaking his head, Bai Yingluo immediately showed a hint of disappointment.

"However, since the imperial decree has been issued, there should be no room for change. Moreover, according to Chi Ji, it seems that the Princess Mansion has begun to rectify and clean up. Although it is not the exact news, it is still close."

Du Xuan laughed.

"I hope, I just hope that she can leave the capital one day soon, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Bai Yingluo complained with her mouth pouted.

Things were progressing much faster than Bai Yingluo expected. At the end of May, Princess Qingcheng's mansion wrote a memorial, like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing an uproar in the capital that had not been quiet for a long time.

Inside and outside, Princess Qingcheng was uncharacteristically arrogant and indulgent, showing her hard work and forbearance these years in a humble manner, and begged Emperor Jiayuan to let her inherit the incense from an heir from the clan for the sake of her being widowed and childless.And sincerely said that when he arrived in Lingnan, he would raise the child well and teach him to grow up.

Although it's only been half a year, Princess Qingcheng is notorious in the capital. How can anyone in the clan be willing to adopt a child under her name?

All of a sudden, there were many clan wives who went to Shoukang Palace and Ninghua Palace to complain in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Even Emperor Jiayuan was talked about by the Empress Dowager for a long time.

It is easy to ask God to send God away, knowing that Princess Qingcheng will definitely cause more trouble if she stays in the capital, Emperor Jiayuan sternly rejected Princess Qingcheng's performance, while rewarding her with 5000 taels of silver practice.

Qin Tianjian calculated that the twelfth of June is a good day to travel, so Emperor Jiayuan asked Zhou Fu to go to Princess Qingcheng's mansion in person to convey his holy wishes.

Whether happy or unhappy, Princess Qingcheng kowtowed to thank her in the end, expressing that she would leave as scheduled.

When the news came, in Yixin Garden, Bai Yingluo felt like a boulder had been lifted from her heart, which slightly lifted her heart that had been depressed all along.

Knowing that they are going to leave, Lu Er and Hua Liu are half happy and half sad.

Three nights before the farewell, the two took advantage of the darkness to arrive at Yixin Garden to bid farewell to Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo.

"The climate in Lingnan is humid. When you set off there, the miasma was at its heaviest. Therefore, you must pay more attention along the way."

Du Xuan instructed carefully.

Nodding in response, Hualiu clasped his fists and thanked him, but Lu Er lowered his head sadly.

"Master Du, brother still hasn't sent you a letter?"

Every time he came back to Zhuangyuan Mansion, Lu Er would persist in asking a few questions, as if he didn't believe Du Xuan's words, and felt that Du Xuan and Bai Yi were deceiving him.

Du Xuan explained again and again, dumbfounded, and the look on Lu Er's face became even more depressed.

"This farewell, I don't know if I can see him again. Master Du, if I have a chance to meet my brother in the future, tell him that I will always remember him. If he is free, let him visit me in Xili."

Green Ear said in a low voice.

"Xili? Lu Er, have you decided to go back?"

Du Xuan said with some surprise.

With a forced smile on his face, he replied in a buzzing voice: "After my brother left, I thought about it a lot. I think what he said was right. What I'm obsessed with is actually just the princess's stunning beauty. And after that I linger in the Princess Mansion and don’t want to leave. One reason is that there are not as many restrictions as in Xili Palace. I can do whatever I want without encountering danger. The other reason is that Brother and Hualiu are sincere. Treat me very well. When I was in Xili, no one ever treated me like this, it was either flattering or calculating, so I don’t want to go back to Xili.”

In the past, both Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo regarded Lu Er as a child who hadn't grown up yet, but now Lu Er, who was talking like this, didn't look like a child, in fact, he knew clearly in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Er looked up at Du Xuan and said, "Brother told me a lot before, but I didn't listen to my heart and didn't take it seriously. After he left, no one talked to me and played with me anymore." , I dug out what he said and thought about it, and I think what my brother said is right. I am a man, so I should have my own responsibilities and responsibilities, and I can't just walk away like this. , It’s too irresponsible, when I grow up and become sensible in a few years, I will definitely despise the old me, so, before it’s too late, I will make amends.”

Lu Er's words made Du Xuan feel extremely relieved.

Patting Lu Er's shoulder appreciatively, Du Xuan asked with a smile, "Then when do you plan to go back to Xili?"

In an instant, Lu Er returned to his previous cunning and mischievous appearance, blinked, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to Pingnan first to see the scenery there. If it's fun, I'll play three or five games." Yue, it’s not fun, I’ll just go after looking around.”

Du Xuan shook his head dumbfoundingly, looked back at Hualiu and asked, "Hualiu, what about you?"

Hualiu replied without thinking: "A gentleman keeps his promise. After Bai Yi left, I promised the princess that I would serve her for another five years. Therefore, after five years, I will leave again. At that time, if there is news of Bai Yi , I will look for him. If not..."

A rare smile appeared in Hualiu's eyes, "By then, Lu Er will not be the Crown Prince of Xili, but also an idle prince. If I go to look for him, he will always give me a bowl of food."

Perhaps he had made such a joke before, Lu Er smiled very happily, while nodding repeatedly, and turned around to invite Du Xuan to have the opportunity to visit Xili as a guest, so that he can fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

The parting that was originally full of melancholy suddenly became less sentimental.

In a blink of an eye, it was June [-]th.

When I got up early, the sky outside was gray, and I couldn't even see the rising sun clearly. After a while, it started to rain lightly.

Thinking that Princess Qingcheng's schedule might be delayed, the joy on Bai Yingluo's face faded a bit.

In melancholy, the steward came back and said that Princess Qingcheng had arrived.

Du Xuan went to Honglu Temple to be on duty, Bai Yingluo was in confinement again, there was no one in the house who could call the shots, suddenly, Chen Xiang and the others looked at each other in dismay.

Despite all kinds of helplessness, Bai Yingluo still got up and put on clothes, while ordering Chen Xiang to invite Princess Qingcheng to Yixin Garden.

Xu Shi knew that Bai Yingluo was not yet confinement, Princess Qingcheng soon entered Yixin Garden.

After being seated and serving tea, Princess Qingcheng was silently dazed after she sat down, which made Bai Yingluo feel a little confused.

After a cup of tea, Du Xuan came back.

Seeing Du Xuan who was wearing a coir raincoat and running down the corridor, taking off the coir coir raincoat and slapping the rain on his hair, Princess Qingcheng seemed to have not recovered, stood up with fascinated eyes, and she murmured "Sanlang".

Not to mention Bai Yingluo, even Chen Xiang's servant girls changed their expressions.

Responding belatedly, Princess Qingcheng sat back in her seat in a somewhat dejected manner.

After Du Xuan paid his respects and sat down, Princess Qingcheng hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Is there any news about him?"

Du Xuan was startled, and then realized that she was asking Bai Yi, so he shook his head.

Although she guessed that it would be such an answer, when she heard it, Princess Qingcheng's face was still a little more sad, and against her haggard and thin face, she was a little more pitiful and miserable.

"No news, but good news..."

As if talking to herself, Princess Qingcheng murmured, looked up at Du Xuan and said: "The people sent out have searched for so long, but they haven't found his whereabouts. Thinking about it, he is safe and sound. In the future, if He brought you a letter, please, give him a word for me."

Princess Qingcheng always used "Bengong" when speaking, and it was the first time that she did this today.

Du Xuan nodded, "Princess, please tell me."

Taking a few deep breaths, Princess Qingcheng stood up, looked at the rustling rain outside the window, and said in a low voice with some disappointment: "Just say, in the next life, I am willing to be the daughter of the Orion family, please wait for me. Let him... forget me in this life, and all my bad things, and in the next life, we will be husband and wife again."

After finishing speaking, Princess Qingcheng nodded slightly at Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, and left Yixin Garden.

Without an umbrella or coir raincoat, Princess Qingcheng in a long white dress quickly disappeared into the rain. The mud spots on the skirt were like ink spots blooming on the plain white rice paper, which was very eye-catching. ponder.

After noon, the rain gradually subsided, and there was a lot of noise on Qingning Street. The carriages and horses from the Princess Mansion set off and went straight out of the city gate.

Upon hearing the news, Bai Yingluo let out a sigh of relief.
