"I heard that in a few days it will be the Holy Maiden's Rite?" The emperor remembered another thing.
"Three days later, it will be Sheng Xue's ceremony, and Shisu will be her hairpin's guest." Huangfu Chonglou replied unhurriedly.
"Well, this does not disgrace the name of the saint. Go down, all of you. After the emperor finished asking what he wanted to ask, he asked the two to step down.
Huangfu Chonglou touched his nose, and his father seemed to have become a little suspicious recently. Coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Huangfu Chonglou was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by Fan Yu.
"Your Highness stays." Fan Yu hurriedly ran towards the Huangfu Heavy Building.
"I don't know what happened to Lord Fan Yu?" Every time he faced Fan Yu, Huangfu Chonglou felt a little bitter in his heart. He had the most trouble dealing with the old pedants.
"This trip to the south, the officials have gained a lot, and I still have to thank Your Highness." Fan Yu originally thought that King Jin and King Hui were no different, but this time he caught a large number of corrupt officials according to what was written in the Book of the People.
So far, Fan Yu's impression of King Jin has changed greatly, but he didn't expect King Jin to be silent, but he paid attention to the people's livelihood and suffering, and collected evidence of these big moths early.
Huangfu Chonglou didn't expect Sheng Xuejian to give him such a big gift, and at this moment, he wouldn't have thought that with Fan Yu's help, it would be of great help to the future Apocalypse.
"This is all the credit of Lord Fan, if it has to be counted on the head of this king, then the king is really scared. To be able to do practical things for the people, adults should cherish the current position. Huangfu Chonglou held back for a long time and said something serious.
"What His Highness said is extremely true!" Unexpectedly, Fan Yu listened to Huangfu Chonglou's words. I admired the Huangfu Chonglou even more.
The two parted at the gate of the palace, and Huangfu Chonglou stopped to look at Fan Yu's departing back. Although he didn't like Fan Yu's character, if there were more such officials in the Apocalypse. It's a blessing of the apocalypse.
As the sun set, Huangfu Chonglou suddenly remembered what Sheng Xuejian had said to him, so many people support you, and you can't make mistakes.
"It's time for this king to work hard." Huangfu Chonglou sighed slightly, walking in the afterglow of the sunset.
The boudoir of Sheng Xuejian in the Orchid Garden, under the ever-bright lamp, Sheng Xuejian put away the last stitch. She asked her uncle to collect soothing herbs from all over the place, and specially sewed a sachet for Duanmu Jinghua.
"What good things is Miss doing for the prince again?" Ah Hua leaned over and looked at the delicate sachet. I can't help but joke about my own lady.
"I heard that he has practiced great martial arts, this kind of martial arts will make people's qi and blood surge and it is difficult to control emotions, I want to make him a sachet to calm his nerves."
I didn't expect the young lady to answer her question seriously, Ah Hua nodded ignorantly. The nurse made the bed. Persuaded: "Miss, let's go to bed early tonight." Tomorrow is the lady's ceremony, and you can't lose your spirit. ”
"The thought of the people from Sheng Mansion coming makes me disgusted." Sheng Xue saw that she was telling the truth, and finally broke up, and she hadn't had any contact for more than four years, could it be that because of the ceremony, she was involved again?
"As long as the young lady ignores these people, the Sheng family prides itself on being a scholarly family. Don't you want half of your face? The nurse analyzed, but she also had a mother in the family.
"Not necessarily. The Sheng family is the most faceless and skinless! Ah Hua couldn't help but scold.
"Who do you say has no face and no skin?" Sheng Yuanlian's voice came from outside the door, Ah Hua was so frightened that her face turned white, and she hurriedly opened the door for Sheng Yuanlian.
"Master, Ah Hua is not talking about you, please atone for your sins!" Ah Hua bitterly apologized to Sheng Yuanlian.
The little face wrinkled together, but Sheng Yuan even smiled. Sheng Xue couldn't help but remind: "Ah Hua, my father is teasing you!" ”
"Alright, I'm going to tease you!" Sheng Yuan even accepted the heart of teasing Ah Hua, and Ah Hua retreated with confidence. Sheng Xuejian stood up to greet his father.
"Why did Daddy come over tonight?" Sheng Xue looked at Sheng Yuanlian with a smile. "Our Aman is about to grow up!" Sheng Yuanlian couldn't help but sigh.
Tomorrow, her daughter will be married, and after that, it will be the age of marriage, maybe Ah Zhi has a spirit in the sky, and she will feel relieved to see her daughter's appearance and fall.
Sheng Xue saw that observing his father's expression, he knew that he missed his mother again, and hurriedly persuaded: "Tomorrow is a good day for my daughter, is my father sad and going to cry?" ”
"Nonsense! How could the father be sad! It's too late for my father to be happy! Sheng Yuan blinked, took out a delicate small box from his cuff, and handed it to Sheng Xuejian.
Sheng Xuejian opened the box and found that there was a delicate but very simple magnolia hairpin inside. Sheng Yuanlian explained: "This was chosen by your mother and I when you were young. Tomorrow you'll use this hairpin. ”
"Hmm" Sheng Xue nodded, thinking of her mother, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten. In this life, she tried her best, but in the end she still failed to protect her mother, and four years have passed, and she has not been able to avenge her mother.
The past is vivid, and it is really useless for Sheng Xue to hate herself when she sees it. Sheng Yuanlian looked at his daughter's remorseful expression and couldn't help but comfort: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Aman, don't be too anxious." ”
"My daughter knows, but I see those people I don't want to see tomorrow and at the ceremony, and my daughter is very upset." Ah Man pouted, but at the moment he had the squeamishness of his little daughter.
Thinking of those people, Sheng Yuanlian also felt angry. Because his daughter became a saint, his status in the apocalypse is growing day by day, and he has also been promoted to the rank of knight because of his outstanding political achievements over the years, but the Sheng Mansion has been silent.
It seems that his father feels that he has stopped moving forward by relying on the prime minister's career, and he is anxious in his heart, trying to find ways to make the Sheng Mansion and the Jin Wangfu climb into a relationship.
In order to respond to her daughter, Lin Guifei also deliberately pulled out Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Poria cocos, which was really sinister.
"Tomorrow, you just can't see them, but if there is anything, there is a father by your side, and Ah Man doesn't need to listen to those rumors, do you understand?" Sheng Yuanlian looked at his daughter lovingly.
"Aman knows." Sheng Xue nodded heavily. Sheng Yuanlian touched Sheng Xuejian's hair and said a few more words. Only then did he leave Sheng Xuemi's room.
The north wind was howling, because there was something very important tomorrow, and the girls in the house turned off the lights early. Sheng Xuejian sat on the edge of the bed. Suddenly I felt very awake, and I couldn't sleep for a while.
"Knock knock!" There was a muffled sound outside the window, and at this time the girls were resting outside, and only Sheng Xuejian heard the sound.
At first she thought it was the wind that had blown the doors and windows, but after a while, the orderly sound sounded again. That's not a matter of doors and windows.
Sheng Xuejian walked to the window, and the black shadow was reflected in the window. She immediately guessed who the person outside was. Hurriedly opened the window.
Duanmu Jinghua jumped in vigorously, and a stream of cold wind poured in, making Sheng Xue sneeze coldly. Hongmei outside heard it. Immediately asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Sheng Xue saw that she was afraid that Hongmei would break in like this, she glared at Duanmu Jinghua, and hurriedly spoke: "It's okay, it's just that my nose is itchy." You go to sleep. ”
Hongmei let out an "oh". The two stood quietly for a while, and there was a steady breathing sound outside, Sheng Xue saw that he relaxed, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I miss you so much." Duanmu Jinghua replied with a calm face. This black light is blind and lonely, this picture is too easy to make people think cranky, okay?
But when it came out of Duanmu Jinghua's mouth, these words suddenly made people feel so excited. Sheng Xue's face turned red when she saw it: "I'm going to be in time tomorrow." ”
Duanmu Jinghua suddenly approached Sheng Xuejian in a few steps, so close that the breaths of the two were intertwined, and Sheng Xuejian's face immediately turned even redder. Slurred speech: "You! What are you doing! ”
"Aman, are you inviting me with that sentence just now?" Duanmu Jinghua's tone was smiling. Some teasing. Sheng Xue immediately figured it out, why did she say that sentence just now~
I'm going to be in time tomorrow, and after tomorrow, I can be your man. Sheng Xuejian swore that when she said that, she definitely didn't think of what she meant next.
But now, in the face of Duanmu Jinghua's questioning, she actually knotted her tongue and didn't know how to answer. Seeing the little girl frozen in place, Duanmu Jinghua couldn't help but want to laugh.
In the end, he took a few steps back and let the snow go to see freedom. "I can't wait. Tomorrow and as soon as the ceremony is over, I will let my father and the princess come to propose marriage, do you agree? ”
Sheng Xue was stunned: "So fast? ”
"You won't agree?" Duanmu Jinghua did not answer Sheng Xuejian's words, but immediately asked rhetorically. Sheng Xue choked when he saw it, and in the moonlight, his clear eyes stared at him, and he had to give an answer.
"I promise!" Sheng Xue blushed when she saw it, she should have understood, since Merlin first met, she was eaten by Duanmu Jinghua in this life! He knows her secrets, knows her weaknesses.
"Here you go." Duanmu Jinghua took out an object from his arms and stuffed it into Sheng Xuejian's hand, and with the help of the moonlight, Sheng Xuejian saw that it was a pair of crystal clear earrings.
"The earrings made of crystals in the Western Regions are unique in the Apocalypse, even if it is your little uncle, you can't find a second pair." As if offering a treasure, Duanmu Jinghua's tone was a little proud.
Sheng Xuejian held up the pair of earrings to the moonlight, and sure enough, they exuded a crystal luster, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's really beautiful." ”
"Would you like to wear these earrings tomorrow?" Duanmu Jinghua suddenly approached Sheng Xuejian again, and his gentle words seemed to be in his ears, making Sheng Xuejian feel hot again.
"Good!" She didn't know when Duanmu Jinghua answered, and she couldn't remember how long she had been standing by the window. When she came back to her senses, Duanmu Jinghua was already gone.
When it was dawn, Sheng Xue saw that before she could react, Duanmu Jinghua actually kissed her on the forehead at that time.
Early in the morning, the girls pulled Sheng Xuejian up and dressed up, Sheng Xue saw that the whole person was stunned, and her hand involuntarily touched the place where Duanmu Jinghua kissed last night.
"Miss, do you have a headache?" Bai Mei keenly captured Sheng Xuejian's strangeness. Ah Hua leaned her head nervously and asked, "Miss, did you catch a cold last night?" ”
"Nope." Sheng Xue saw that she retracted her hand and pretended to be calm. Ah Hua muttered to herself: "When the slave got up in the middle of the night last night, I heard the cat barking. Strange I've never heard before. ”
Ah Hua chattered, saw the young lady in the mirror at a glance, and shouted again in fright: "Miss, your face is so red, is it really not cold?" ”
Sheng Xue was about to cry when she saw it, Ah Hua, why didn't you usually notice that your little eyes were so sharp? The nurse said Ah Hua: "You are a personal girl of the young lady, don't shout and have no rules!" ”
"Nurse, you don't have to be nervous, now I won't be looked down upon by anyone." Sheng Xue saw the nurse's thoughts. When she broke off her relationship with Sheng Fu, Sheng Xue saw that she was cold eyes.
Now that they are fighting with the Sheng Mansion again, the nurse doesn't want the Sheng Mansion people to have a chance to laugh at their young lady. The nurse sighed: "The old slaves of this Sheng Mansion can be regarded as seeing through, Miss, their grades are not as good as yours, you don't have to pay attention to them." ”
Sheng Xuejian's smile turned cold: "I really don't want to pay attention to them!" Outside, Sheng Yuanlian had already invited guests in, because Bai Zhi died early, Sheng Yuanlian had been a father and a mother for several years, so he knew how hard Bai Zhi was at the beginning.
Six-year-old Sheng Xuehan also happily stood at the door to accompany his father to welcome the guests, because he was born so cute, everyone couldn't help but admire and attracted his attention.
What Sheng Yuanlian didn't expect was that almost the entire family of Prince Gong's Mansion came. He was startled at first when he saw the carriage and horses.
"I don't know if the prince is coming, I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Sheng Yuan hurriedly walked down and saluted, and Prince Gong laughed: "Lord Sheng doesn't need to be polite, according to this king, there is no need to be polite in the future." ”
When the people present heard it, their hearts were naturally transparent. Four years ago, the matter of Duanmu Shizi rushing to the crown is still clear. Now that Sheng Xue has seen it, it seems that Duanmu Shizi can't wait.
Originally, the man did not have to come to watch the ceremony of the daughter's family. But today, Prince Gong came with a mission, so naturally it's a different matter.
"Aman!" Sheng Xue saw that she had stopped dressing up, and she heard a capable man outside. It turned out that my aunt had arrived.
"Auntie!" Sheng Xue happily stood up to greet Bai He. As soon as Bai He entered the house, he saw a celestial immortal.
This immortal is wearing a pink rusty white orchid skirt today, lined with a silk jacket, a pair of affectionate eyes as if he can speak, and his delicate facial features seem to be the person in the painting.
"Our Aman is so beautiful! It's my aunt who is old. Bai He couldn't help but sigh, Sheng Xue saw a slight smile, faintly shy.
"Sure enough, when I grew up, I knew I was shy, hehe." Bai He smiled faintly, and the nurse outside walked in and reminded: "Miss's time has come, you should go out." ”
Bai He immediately came back to his senses: "It's time to go out, my aunt is carrying you out." ”
The outer hall was full of guests. Originally, Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Poria could sit in the first row, but today there were several big names, Fan Siyan, Situ Zisu, and Prince Gong and the princess, and they couldn't take their turn.
"Oh my God!" I don't know who exclaimed, and everyone looked towards it. (To be continued......)
