Chu Yanze closed his eyes and said nothing. Mingyi looked at his face and walked to the door step by step. Seeing that he didn't stop him, she opened the door. But before he could take a step forward, Chu Yanze's voice sounded like ice, making people shiver from the cold.
"Princess Yun'an had better pretend that you didn't see or hear anything, otherwise... I wonder what Governor Xue would think if he knew that the princess and I had a tryst in the East Palace on the occasion of His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding?"
Mingyi's back stiffened and she didn't dare to look back. She just replied in a tight voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu. If you say you didn't see it, you didn't see it." As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed out the door as fast as she could, as if there was someone behind her. The ghost is chasing.
The "evil ghost" behind him squinted at her back. He looked away for a long time and looked down at his clothes. The sour smell came to his nose again. He covered his mouth and nose and couldn't hold back the sound of "vomiting". .
Not far away, far away from the wing, Mingyi slowed down, the panic and embarrassed look on her face turned cold, her eyes were also heavy, she raised her hand to touch her chest and abdomen, which had returned to calm, her eyebrows tightened, just now ...could it be...? After the prince's wedding, the weather became colder day by day. Mingyi didn't want to cause trouble, so she stayed at home for a long time. Fortunately, Chu Yanze didn't do anything during these days, but it seemed as if the incident that day had really been revealed.
As for whether it was really revealed, that's another matter. At this time, Mingyi didn't want to worry too much.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, worship the Kitchen God. Mingyi asked the Gao family early in the morning and brought some people from Jiyang Prince's Mansion to Xue Mansion to clean up. With heavy frost and light rain, I put the window grilles I cut in my spare time on the windows one by one, and hung up the newly made red lanterns.
The days are short in the cold winter, so after doing this, the sky is already dark. The red lanterns were lit up one by one, and the quiet mansion became more lively.
Mingyi looked at it and couldn't help but curled her lips and smiled. The shadow of the lamp fell on her eyes, which also brought out a hint of joy.
Fan Shuang was a little dissatisfied and said, "The princess is busy here, but Governor Xue has never replied to a letter. It's already the New Year. What if he really can't come back in time?"
But it was said that Mingyi was urged by An Qian and Li Fengjiao to write a letter to ask Xue Lin if he would return to Beijing, but nothing happened, without any reply.
These days, not to mention Fan Shuang, even Gao and others are worried but dare not speak. Mingyi, on the other hand, looks indifferent.
At this moment, too, he just looked up and smiled at the two huge red lanterns with the word "Xue" written on them in front of the mansion, and said casually, "If you can't come back in time, you can't come back in time!"
"How can it happen? If there is no groom official during the visit, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread in Wangjing City." Fanshuang looked anxious. How could his princess not worry at all? If Governor Xue was He really couldn't come back in time to get married. Others didn't dare to tell him, but they couldn't figure out how to arrange the princess.
From the corner of her eye, Mingyi caught a glimpse of the expressions on Fan Shuang and Wei Yu's faces, and her eyes moved, "The border has just been stabilized, and Governor Xue said he has to leave. Or maybe... he will leave after the New Year, as long as it is on an auspicious day. Just get there before then.”
Fanshuang frowned, and was about to say anything, but Mingyi was already afraid, and said hurriedly, "Okay, it's almost done, let's go back! It's cold today, and it will snow soon and it will be difficult to walk on the road."
"Is the princess's mouth open?" Fan Shuang raised his finger and pointed to the top of his head.
"It's snowing!" Wei Yu raised her head and said softly.
Mingyi looked up and saw that under the dark blue night sky, the north wind was carrying snowflakes that were falling continuously. Once they started falling, they were as big as a mat. "Let's go quickly!" Mingyi said, turning around.
Just as he was about to step down the stone steps, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves running from a distance. There was almost no sound in the long street on this snowy night. All around, the north wind could be heard whistling in the snow. The sound of horse hooves came suddenly and seemed to be heading straight towards here.
Mingyi stopped and looked up as if feeling something - and saw a few horses riding through the night at the end of the long street, carrying the wind and snow. The man at the head was wearing a dark robe, with his waist and arms tightly tied, and a pale cloak behind him hunting in the wind and snow. He was galloping with the big black horse underneath him, looking majestic and majestic. As if they did not expect that there was someone in front of the house, several fast horses slowed down. When they arrived in front of the house, the leader pulled the reins of the horse and stopped the big black horse underneath him. The man had already jumped off the horse. Jump down.
Mingyi knelt down and gathered her crotch, and gave the visitor a gentle kiss.
The other party was tall and wide, but he could climb the stairs in only two or three steps. His eyes were fixed on Mingyi, and he raised his right hand gently, "Princess Princess, please get up."
"The Governor knew it was me!" Mingyi blinked and stood up straight. She looked at Xue Lin with her eyes like autumn waves, and her eyes flickered slightly. They shouldn't have seen each other in front of others, and they had to do the whole thing when they were acting.
Xue Lin obviously understood what she meant, and said after a while, "I asked someone to bring the key to the mansion to the princess. I know that everyone in the mansion depends on the princess to take care of it. Thank you!" As he spoke, Xue Lin said He raised his eyes and looked behind Mingyi, and naturally saw clearly the unstained door of the mansion, as well as the two brand new red lanterns hanging above his head.
"This is what I should do. If the Governor says thank you any more, it will be disrespectful." Ming Yi responded in a manly voice.
After finishing speaking, there was a sudden silence, a bit awkward.
Mingyi cleared her throat, "It's getting late. The governor must be tired from all the hard work, so please rest early. I have to go back home, otherwise my family may be worried."
"I will take the princess back to her mansion." Xue Lin answered, his voice still low.
"No, we are all familiar with this road. I have brought people with me. The Governor should rest early with you all!" Mingyi nodded lightly, and then led Fan Shuang and others down the stone steps to the stop. The carriage walked in front of the door.
Xue Lin didn't say anything else. Mingyi got on the carriage, raised the curtain and looked out. She saw that he was still standing in front of the house with his hands behind his hands. Two red lanterns were swaying gently in the wind and snow, but he stood upright. , shoulders broad, back upright, posture as loose as a pine. He kept looking here, the eyes that she had seen clearly before she died in her previous life, and were engraved in her heart, were as deep as ink, and met them suddenly. Mingyi panicked, and let go of her hands. The car curtains dropped, completely covering his figure. .
The carriage started running swayingly. Fanshuang let out a long breath and finally said, "Is that Governor Xue?"
"Thank God, it's not the rumored one who has a body like an iron tower and hands like a cattail leaf fan, and can kill someone with just one slap."
"Blessed by the Bodhisattva. I see that although Governor Xue is a soldier, he is not as vulgar as the rumors say." Wei Yu chuckled and agreed.
"Anyway, first of all, congratulations to the princess." The two girls smiled happily and looked at Mingyi.
"Why are you so happy?" Mingyi blinked.
"Although the Grand Governor didn't reply, he is back. Let's see what those people who are secretly waiting to see the joke have to say." Fan Shuang snorted.
yes! Why is he back? Mingyi was in a daze, this was completely different from her previous life, was it also because of her? "Although Commander-in-Chief Xue is not as powerful as the rumors say, he is very impressive. I was in front of you just now and I didn't even dare to let out a breath." Wei Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Isn't that right? Our prince used to hope to find a brother-in-law who would treat the princess as he treats the princess. Now, I'm afraid he has to give up completely." There is another sentence that Fanshuang dare not say, that Xue The governor and the princess answered questions and were very polite. It's too polite. These are people who are going to be a couple, but they have no resemblance at all to the couples Fan Shuang has seen before.
