Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Past Is Endless (3)
Ten days later, Nangong Shu sent someone to send Lian Yan's wedding dress. Lian Yan was waited by the maid to change into her wedding dress to see if there was anything that didn't fit so that she could make changes. The wedding dress is made of the finest silk, smooth and bright, and it is absolutely extraordinary. The cuffs, neckline, and skirt of the wedding dress are all embroidered with full pearls, and the brilliance is flowing, and Lian Yan is more and more bright and moving.
Nangong Xi went to Lian Yan's wing room and saw such a scene. That beautiful woman, in addition to the blue dress that runs through her weekdays, changed into a fiery red dress, as if she had changed a person! She went from being gentle and noble, and suddenly became charming and enchanting. This wedding dress is really suitable for her, which makes the woman who originally didn't eat fireworks more humane.
Nangong Xi couldn't help but think of the scene when she saw Lian Yan on the shore of Tianshui Lake ten days ago. At that time, she didn't recognize him, but he recognized her at a glance!
Lian Yan, it turns out that her name is Lian Yan. After so many years, even though she lingers in his heart every day, Nangong Xi never knew that she had such a nice name.
Twelve years ago, Nangong Xi secretly ran out of Tianshui Lake to find his wandering mother. It's just that he was only ten years old at that time and never left Tianshui Lake. He had no idea what the world above the lake was like, or that it was full of dangers.
Because he was dressed luxuriously and alone, Nangong Xi was soon targeted by a group of bandits. They easily snatched Nangong Xi's money and valuable things and walked away. Nangong Xi was single and was greatly frightened. He had neither money to eat nor nowhere to go. When he was at the end of his life, a beautiful and kind little girl saved him. That girl is Lian Yan who went down the mountain to play when she was young.
At that time, Lian Yan was only seven or eight years old, and when she saw Nangong Xi who was bullied by a group of beggars, she did not hesitate to go over to save him, and asked the maid who accompanied her to give Nangong a lot of silver taels. Later, Nangong Xi was found by the clansmen. Brought back to Tianshui Lake. When he grew up, he left the bottom of the lake many times and came out to look for it, but he never found the slightest trace of Lian Yan.
Nangong Xi never thought that he would be able to see her again. I never thought that when we met again, she would become someone else's wife!
Lian Yan stood in front of the bronze mirror. Look carefully at yourself in the mirror. Glance back inadvertently. I saw the person behind me who was fascinated. He stood motionless, as if to stand like a statue.
Thinking like this, Lian Yan suddenly couldn't help laughing. Her red lips lifted slightly. asked him: "Nangong Gongzi, what do you think of this wedding dress, is it still suitable for me?" ”
She smiled at him through the bronze mirror. It's so bright and dazzling. Like a beam of light refracted through a mirror, Nangong Xi will never forget it for a lifetime!
Years later. When he recalls the short time he spent with her, he can always remember her smile in the mirror. If time could be turned back, he would do everything he could to return to that moment. Only then, she was asking him. Is the wedding dress made for her by another man suitable?
Nangong Xi thought silently in his heart, if you are wearing this red dress. How nice would it be to be my bride? But. He knew that he would never be able to defeat Nangong Shu, so he pulled out a smile and nodded: "Even the girl is beautiful and captivating, no matter what she wears, it is naturally suitable." You will surely be the most beautiful bride. ”
When Lian Yan heard this, she turned around with a smile: "I didn't expect Nangong Gongzi to look calm, and he would say these 'sycophant' words to make people happy." However, your last sentence should be left to your own lady. In the future, when you get married, you must tell her, and she will be happy. ”
Nangong Xi's smile became more and more bitter: "I'm afraid I don't have that blessing, marry a wife and start a family." ”
"Why?" Lian Yan's eyes widened in surprise, "A noble and excellent person like Nangong Gongzi, why should he have no wife?" ”
"Even the girl" Nangong Xi lowered his head, so that people couldn't see his expression at the moment, "I'm not afraid to make you laugh, anyway, you will know sooner or later." Although my mother is the eldest princess of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, she was expelled for violating the clan rules and will never be allowed to return to Tianshui Lake. I was adopted by my uncle, the current palace master, since I was a child. Although he is also nominally a prince, he is despised by his clan, and no girl will want to be my wife. Perhaps, you will look down on me because of my background......"
Lian Yan turned around and stared at Nangong Xi seriously: "Why do you think so?" The one who makes the mistake is your mother, not you, so why not imprison yourself? I don't think there's anything you look down upon, and if you do, it's because you look down on yourself. ”
"You ......" Nangong Xi was very surprised by Lian Yan's answer. He thought that Lian Yan would disdain to get along with him if he knew about his past. Unexpectedly, she didn't care, but came to enlighten him and comfort him.
Lian Yan smiled kindly at Nangong Xi: "I see that Ah Shu also admires and respects you very much, and I think when he ascends the throne, he will also be reused by you." ”
Nangong Xi shook his head: "I have other plans, and I don't want Ah Shu to be caught between me and my clansmen." ”
"Something else?" Lian Yan raised her eyebrows, "Are you planning to leave Tianshui Lake and your clansmen?" ”
"I want to travel to the mortal world, where there are many people, opportunities, and no one knows me. No one will laugh at me because of my background, maybe I will break out of my own world. "Nangong Xi has made up his mind, and he has already thought about leaving Tianshui Lake. He fantasized that he would be able to make a difference by going to the mortal world. Because of this belief, his face was full of expectation, and the whole person was much brighter!
Lian Yan encouraged him: "A good boy has ambitions in all directions, Nangong Gongzi is so good, he will definitely succeed." He returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and Ah Yan set up a glass of wine to celebrate for you. ”
Looking at the smiling woman in front of her, Nangong Xi mustered up her courage and blurted out: "Lian, Lian girl, have you ever been to Yuzhou when you were young?" ”
Lian Yan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and then replied: "When I was a child, I often traveled with my father in all directions, and I visited many places, and I can't remember some of them. Yuzhou, about some impressions. I don't know what Childe asked? ”
Ah Yan, do you really remember me? But I've never forgotten you for so many years!
Nangong Xi was lonely in his heart, but he just smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think there is something special there." If even the girl is free in the future, she can go and see it. ”
Lian Yan pinched the tassel hanging down at the collar and played with it, and smiled a little lonely: "I don't know if there will be a chance to go out for a walk in the future?" Ah Shu took over the shrine in the future, and there are many things to be busy with. I can't let him go around with me. ”
Nangong Xi looked at her somewhat gloomy look, and her heart was shocked! Isn't it, she didn't want to marry Nangong Shu? In this way, he still has a chance! So he blurted out and asked, "Girl Lian, are you unwilling to marry like this?" ”
"Huh?" Lian Yan was taken aback by the question he had burst into! She hurriedly shook her head and said, "How so? Since I agreed to marry Ah Shu, how can I be unwilling? His people are his responsibility, and if I choose him, I will willingly help him bear it together. I have no regrets! ”
Regrets? The flame of hope that had just ignited in Nangong Xi's heart was instantly extinguished after Lian Yan said these four words. He hurriedly turned around, not letting Lian Yan see his strange appearance, and said, "Yes, I was abrupt." I still have something to do, even girl, take my leave. (To be continued)
