Chapter 623: Not a Good Thing
Lu Xin'er made a lot of detours in her heart, but she missed a little after all, Lu Lincheng can gamble with his marriage or even a lifelong event, so isn't his daughter's marriage also a bet in his eyes? It's just that Lu Xin'er didn't know about it at that time. If she knew, then there would be nothing strange about these thoughts in Lu Lincheng's heart.
"Huh?" Lu Lincheng responded.
"Dad, if the thing succeeds, then you will have a daughter who will be the princess, isn't that a good thing?" Lu Xin'er wanted to convince Lu Lincheng on this ground. After all, most of the officials in the court still hope that their daughters will marry someone with a higher status, so that they can show off among the ministers.
It's just that what she doesn't know is that how could an old fox like Lu Lincheng agree for such a small reason? Although there is a daughter who is a princess who has a little face among the ministers, it is still not enough for him to agree. He wants more than that. And what he wanted, Lu Xin'er at this moment couldn't have imagined. Even if she wanted to break her head and filter all the possibilities in her head, she still couldn't guess.
"That's a really good thing. However, this reason is not sufficient, Xin'er. "Is this all he wants Lu Lincheng want? Such a reason, let him agree, it is really not enough. In his life, he has so many daughters, so naturally he wants them to have some value, and it is not in vain that he has raised them for so many years.
"Dad," is there still no reason for this? Then what kind of reason is enough to be sufficient, she really can't think of it.
"Xin'er, you'd better go back and think about it, right? When you've figured it out, come back to your father, right? Lu Lincheng didn't have the patience to accompany his daughter anymore, so he left the front hall directly after saying this. Only Lu Xin'er was the only one standing in the front hall of this big university, the flickering light made Lu Xin'er feel creepy, she tightened the corners of her clothes and left the front hall, anyway, there is still a lot of time, isn't it, she has been pestering King Mo for so long, and she doesn't care about it for a while.
On such a night, everyone has different thoughts, but it is equally difficult to sleep.
Next.
When the slightly warm sunlight was projected on the bed, Nan Xinchen was still asleep, this was the second time she had slept so late since she came back from the north, which had never happened before. Last night, she thought about it again and again, and it was difficult to sleep, and in the end, maybe she was really tired and sleepy, and she fell asleep somehow.
However, for Nangong Mo's behavior last night, she still didn't have a clue until she fell asleep, and she knew that she was a little confused. This is the first time she has seen such Nangong Mo; This is the first time she has encountered such a scene; This kind of relationship is also the first time she has experienced it, and this indescribable feeling makes her feel at a loss.
On the other side, Cangyi country.
Cang Tianqing leaned back in his chair, resting his hands behind his head, enjoying this rare and quiet morning. It's been a few days since the war ended, and he doesn't know why, why there is such a figure in ****'s mind these days, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "alluring the country and the city, peerless elegance". That woman, he didn't understand, so inexplicably lingering in his mind?
That night, he wanted to meet the new General Shen, but he accidentally found her daughter. At that moment, he seemed to feel something churning in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly. At that time, he thought, maybe it was the idea of male superiority and inferiority in his heart, and he didn't regard her as a tricky opponent, so he was careless.
It wasn't until the clever woman defeated them in such a repetition that he realized that he had really underestimated the woman. Such a woman with excellent appearance and special talent for military strategy really impressed him.
Until he left the border and returned to the capital, he didn't know when the figure of that woman appeared in his heart. Every time I think of her, I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Early this morning, he really couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply got up early in the morning. He enjoyed such a morning and it felt wonderful. So, naturally, he thought of that woman, who was also so quiet, indifferent, but with a magic that could not be ignored.
He picked up the pen and wrote her name on the paper in front of him---- Nan Xinchen, a very beautiful name. Light lemon, light lemon, he silently read in his heart, very comfortable taste. Cang Tianqing put down the pen, put away the paper, and put it into the bottle where he usually collects the picture scrolls. Among these so many scrolls, this piece of paper, which is clearly different from the scroll, seems so incongruous.
He leaned back, closed his eyes, and wanted to take a nap.
Shen Mansion.
When Nan Xinchen opened his eyes, he realized that he could sleep so soundly. When she woke up, she found that her head was still a little dizzy, maybe she thought too much last night, or maybe she slept too late. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight swollen pain.
"Miss, Miss," Jin'er's voice sounded outside the door.
Nan Xinchen replied, "Hmm", it seemed that he still had just woken up hoarse, soft.
When Jin'er heard Lu Qingning's voice, she knew that Miss had woken up, so she asked, "Miss, can the slave come in?" ”
"Come in." Nan Xinchen said lightly.
When Jin'er pushed the door open, she saw that her young lady was still lying on the bed, with her hands on her sides, with such a lazy expression, she really looked like a man. If it weren't for the fact that she knew that her master was a daughter, she would really be fascinated by her expression. Such a woman, even if she is also a woman, never gets tired of looking at her.
"Miss, why haven't you gotten up yet?" Jin'er knows that her master never sleeps lazy, and from childhood to adulthood, her master gets up earlier than her maid every day. She knew that the master liked tranquility, and in the early morning like this, the master would always get up to read a book and practice calligraphy. Why did you sleep so late today, it's already noon?
"Well, I don't want to get up."
"Miss?" This is the first time Jin'er has heard her own young lady say such things, her young lady, she has been sensible since she was a child, and even she, as a maid, can't help but feel distressed. Every time she saw that the young lady was obviously tired but still pretended to be strong, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. She really doesn't like such a young lady, such a woman, she is too strong, and sometimes even men are ashamed of themselves. However, what she wants to see is the young lady who cries when she wants to cry and laughs when she wants to laugh, so that she won't be tired when she lives.
This time, when she found out that her young lady had finally taken a step in the direction she was expecting, she smiled heartily. What had changed Miss, she thought to herself. Could it be? Is it the King of Ink? She thought of that handsome man, the fifth prince of the dynasty.
"Jin'er, is there something wrong?"
"No," Jin'er was still immersed in her thoughts, and she was really startled when she suddenly heard Nan Xinchen call herself. In a hurry, the words were wrong, the word "no" just came out, she remembered that she had something to do with Miss, Mrs. specially explained to her, if Miss got up, let Miss go to the front hall to see her, she guessed, Mrs. probably has something to explain to Miss! "No, no, miss, Jin'er has something to do with you."
"Well, you go out first, Jin'er. I'm going to get up. ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Jin'er waited outside the house for a while, and Nan Xinchen appeared in front of her in a white robe, she looked at the master in front of her, still dressed in a white robe as usual, with no extra decorations on her body, but she still couldn't hide her beauty. Sometimes, she often wondered why her own young lady liked to wear white robes so much, although she admitted that such a simple outfit did make her feel different. It's just that after thinking about it so many times, she still hasn't figured it out.
"Miss, Madame is in the antechamber and wants to see you." Jin'er finally didn't forget Princess Nan's instructions.
"Mother wants to see me?" Nan Xinchen is a little strange, if her mother wants to see her, there should be something, right? Thinking of this, she took a step and walked towards the antechamber.
"Mother, has something happened?" Nan Xinchen looked at Princess Nan, she was sitting on a chair on the side of the front hall, her back against the back of the chair, her eyes closed, her hands folded on her legs, with a tired expression. She knows, although her mother said that she had let go of her father's affairs, but the pain in her heart, how could she, as a daughter, not know? However, since the mother did not mention it, she pretended not to know, so as not to increase her mother's sorrow.
Her father, the man who held an extremely important position in her mother's heart, how could her mother's heart be happy when he was gone, and how could she be so calm as she appeared on her face? Just like today, when she looked at such a mother with such a tired expression, it was false for her to say in her heart that she was not distressed.
She naturally knows that her father is her mother's hope and her world, and when she has her father by her side, her mother is smiling every day. Although she didn't have a thorough understanding of what happened to her parents when they were young, she still knew some more or less from some of the older people. She is envious of their stories, and hopes that they will be happy like this in this life.
On that day, the mother promised her without the slightest hesitation that she would always depend on her for her life in the days to come, and she was very moved in her heart, and in her mother's heart, her daughter also occupies a certain position! Although it is not as important as her father's, as long as her mother still has her daughter in her heart, she is satisfied.
At this moment, she suddenly couldn't bear to disturb such a peaceful picture. She doesn't know how big the hole in her mother's heart is, and I'm afraid she can't fill this hole! She didn't want to disturb her mother, but since her mother came to her, there should be something!
So, she spoke up, "Mother." ”
didn't hear his mother's answer, Nan Xinchen was a little surprised, could it be that his mother was asleep? On such a winter day, if you fall asleep in a chair like this, you may freeze. She didn't know how many days her mother hadn't slept so well. She didn't know if her mother would wash her face with tears all night when she lay in bed without her father, and if she would wake up from her dreams crying. She didn't know any of this.
"Mother," Nan Xinchen stepped forward and shook her sleeping mother. Although she really couldn't bear to disturb this moment of peace, it was really not a way for her mother to sleep in this front hall like this, and she didn't know if she would catch the cold. Therefore, she did not hesitate to step forward and intend to shake her mother awake. Wait a minute, wait for my mother to explain what happened, and then go back to my room to rest.
With such a shake, Princess Nan finally woke up from her sleep. "Ling'er," just woke up, and Princess Nan's eyes were still a little confused.
"Mother, you asked Jin'er to call Ning'er over, did you forget?" Nan Xinchen reminded his mother. It is normal for my mother to wake up from her sleep and not be able to remember it all of a sudden.
"Oh, yes, really sleepy, huh? I couldn't even remember it all at once. Princess Nan patted her forehead, looking suddenly enlightened. She was just going to wait for her daughter to come over, but she didn't expect to fall asleep like this?
"Mother, do you have anything to explain?"
"Ling'er, do you remember your cousin Yunxin?" Princess Nan asked.
"Cousin Yunxin, is it Cousin Yunxin of Uncle Liu's family?" Nan Xinchen asked strangely. The cousin Yunxin, who got along with her very well since she was a child, naturally remembered her. She knew that she was Uncle Liu's only daughter. I remember that when I was a child, Aunt Liu, like her father, was an official in the court. Therefore, my father and Uncle Liu were very highly regarded by the emperor, and they often had to discuss major affairs in the court together, and even with them, cousin Yunxin often came to their house, at that time. Maybe it's because the two are the same age, or maybe it's just because there are no other siblings in the family, so they make good playmates. At that time, she was not as quiet as she is now, and she was just a child.
At that time, they were very good, so the fact that she was a girl was not hidden from her. However, then, when she was about ten years old, and she didn't know what had happened, she never saw her again. She had also asked her mother, but her mother only shirked and couldn't say clearly.
After several times to no avail, she didn't ask again. At that time, she was still young and couldn't guess what happened to Cousin Yunxin, so she didn't come to play with her for so long. Then, one day, when her father came home, she overheard her father tell her mother that Uncle Liu had resigned and the family had moved out of the capital.
