Chapter 628: The Eve of the Expedition
Along the way, Su Miao didn't talk to Huiwei. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Aftertaste didn't know what to say to her, so he didn't speak, he thought it would be better for her to calm down.
So Su Miao became even more popular.
When I arrived at the Prince's Mansion, it was already late.
The porter obviously had been instructed by the crown princess, and the carriage entered the prince's mansion directly through the side door, and only stopped when it came to the Mingxi Pavilion used for banquets in the prince's mansion.
Bai Zhi greeted her in person, she didn't overdress herself because she wanted to entertain guests, she wore the same clothes she wore when she saw her family, she smiled and let a few people in.
There were already people sitting in Mingxi Pavilion, and Su Miao met Wei Zhen and Lin Yan who came first in Mingxi Pavilion.
Lin Yan's eyes were a little swollen, obviously because she had cried, but when she saw Su Miao, she still smiled gently. She was holding the radiant Xiao You in her arms, Xiao You was biting her fist, a pair of big watery eyes were turning around, looking at everything and feeling fresh, it was already night, but this little guy was not sleepy at all.
Wei Zhen sat beside Lin Yan, as dignified and elegant as ever, but her face was slightly haggard.
Su Miao listened to the aftertaste, when the news of Liang Jin's disappearance had not yet reached Liangdu, Huixiang was no longer in Huixianglou, and not long after that, Huigan also left Liangdu on the grounds that he had to deal with business matters, which meant that he was out of tolerance, but he never came back after a long time. Whether it was the news of Liang Jin and Liang Min's disappearance that came to Liang Du, or now that Rui Wangfu and Huixianglou were beaten by the Wei family, Hui Gan did not come back. Although the prince suppressed Wei He's request to copy the excerpts of Rui Wangfu and Huixianglou, the Wei family's guiding public opinion was very unfavorable to both Ruiwangfu and Huixianglou. Although it is not insulted by everyone, after all, the prestige accumulated by Liang Jin among the people is not something that Wei He can easily destroy, but Wei He is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so now, public opinion is on the way to deterioration.
Huixiang and Huigan are not there, and the burden of Huixianglou naturally falls on the young grandmother Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen is from the Wei family, so it is not easy for her now, just returning to Xianglou is enough for her to be tired, not to mention that there is an unconscious mother's family.
Bai Zhi invited Aftertaste and the others to sit down, and said with a smile:
"Wait a minute, Your Highness has something to do in the afternoon, you should be back soon, I have already sent someone to meet you at the door."
Su Miao nodded with a smile and sat next to Lin Yan.
Su Xian took Xiao You over and hugged her, Su Miao stared at Xiao You's round face, poked it with her fingers, and smiled at Lin Yan:
"Xiao Yu is getting stronger and stronger."
Lin Yan smiled.
"What is this? Longevity locks? Su Chan noticed the pendant around Xiaoyou's neck, thinking it was a commonly used name lock for children, but when she picked it up, she found that it was not, "Ah, what is this?" How is it warm? She asked, surprised.
Su Miao looked over and saw that Xiao You's neck was hung with a mutton fat jade pendant, with a red knot as a lanyard, and many jade beads on it. The round jade pendant is as flawless as fat, carved with complex and exquisite patterns, noble and elegant, delicate and moisturizing, and warm to the touch.
"Huh?" Su Miao was stunned, "This is not ......" She turned her head to look at the aftertaste, and took out a pendant from her clothes that was exactly the same as the jade pendant on Xiaoyou's neck, and compared it to the same, so she looked at the aftertaste coldly, and said word by word, "It turns out that there are two heirlooms in your family." β
Aftertaste touched the tip of her nose and pretended not to hear her.
Lin Yan saw that Su Miao also had this pendant, so she laughed and said to her:
"This is Lord Rui's mother from her mother's family, it is considered a family heirloom, and there are indeed two, it should have been one for the emperor and Prince Rui, but the emperor didn't ask for it, it was all in the hands of Lord Rui. When I got married to the prince, Lord Rui gave me one of them, and the other one was probably given to Ah Wei. β
"Why is the jade pendant given to you on Xiao You?" Su Miao asked compassionately.
"When I left the palace, I left the jade pendant behind, and I don't know why this jade pendant ran to Xiaoyou." Lin Yan hooked her lips and said, she didn't know why this jade pendant suddenly appeared on Xiao You's neck in the early morning.
said that she didn't know, but in fact, she knew it in her heart, and the prince came to see Xiaoyou again before going to Lunan......
Her eyes moistened slightly, and her lips pursed. After a moment of calm, she blinked, took a deep breath, and continued to smile.
"I wanted to ask how you took it off, didn't you just put this on and couldn't take it off?" Su Miao's eyes stared at the aftertaste, gritted her back molars, and asked Lin Yandao.
"You can take it off, since it's an heirloom, how can you not take it off and let only one person wear it. The buckle rope of this jade pendant is not in the back, it is in the front, you see, ......" Lin Yan said with a smile, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a cough from the aftertaste.
Lin Yan pursed her lips and laughed, no longer speaking.
Su Miao glared at the aftertaste in annoyance.
The aftertaste pretends to be invisible.
Su Miao was just about to speak, and the maid hurriedly came in and reported:
"Crown Princess, His Royal Highness King Wu and His Royal Highness King Wen have come down."
Before he could say a word, Liang Ao and Liang Chang came together, first saluted Bai Zhi, and then found that there was a group of people sitting behind the screen. The two were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that the people sitting at the table were actually Su Xian and Su Chan, their eyes flashed slightly.
"It's me who called Ah Wei and Miss Su, and I can't celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve this year, but this family, the reunion dinner should still be eaten once." Bai Zhi explained with a smile, the meaning of what she said was very simple, but Liang Ao and Liang Chang both understood the deeper meaning of her words, starting tomorrow, a large-scale offensive and defensive war will be launched, and this battle is destined to be ill-fated and unpredictable.
Liang Ao and Liang Chang sat down at the table, and not long after they sat down, Liang Yi came in from outside, and when Bai Zhi went out, he first asked:
"What do you tell me to do?"
The next glance saw a group of people sitting in front of the reunion table inside, he was startled and said with a surprised smile:
"Why are you so all together today?"
Bai Zhi glanced behind him, smiled at him and replied:
"It was invited by the concubine, and the concubine thought that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve would not be over, but the family always had to eat a reunion dinner, and if you don't eat a reunion dinner, there will be a little regret this year."
Liang Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at her, he understood what she meant, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, although he was moved by her intentions, but he was more worried about the current complicated situation.
His heart was heavy.
"Sit down." He said with a smile and beckoned Liang Ao and the others to sit down.
Bai Zhi hurriedly ordered people to serve the food.
"Where's the boat? Didn't bring it? Liang Yi sat down and asked Wei Zhen with a smile.
"Brought, play in Ying'er's house, the children are hungry early, and they are all finished." Bai Zhi explained with a smile.
Liang Yi nodded and looked at Lin Yan, whose eyes were very swollen.
Lin Yan had already asked someone to take Xiaoyou away, and when she turned around, she heard Liang Yi say to her:
"Lin Yan, don't be too anxious, Ah Wei will leave for Lunan tomorrow. Before leaving, Amin specially said to me that if I want to take good care of your mother and daughter, he will not leave you alone. β
Lin Yan was silent for a while, smiled lightly, and responded in a low voice:
"Yes."
No more was said.
"Lunan?" Su Chan sat on the left hand side of the aftertaste, and when she heard the words, she was stunned, tilted her head and asked the aftertaste, "You finally broke up with my second sister?" β
Aftertaste's face darkened, and this girl was still looking forward to him breaking up with her second sister.
"Of course not." He replied with a stiff face.
"What are you doing in Lunan?" Su Chan asked.
"Something." Aftertaste replied lightly.
"Something?" Su Chan frowned, very dissatisfied with such an answer, thinking that he was perfunctory to her.
Although Su Chan, who was in the market, had also heard that the Blood Yin Sect was in turmoil in the central and southern parts of Yue Liang Kingdom, the disappearance of Liang Jin and Liang Min and the invasion of Qizhi Kingdom were all news of a civil blockade, and she didn't know that she was going to Lunan to quell the rebellion of the Blood Yin Sect instead of Liang Jin.
She looked at the aftertaste suspiciously, with an unhappy expression on her face.
The Mingxi Pavilion suddenly became silent, and everyone at the table fell silent.
The dishes were laid out in silence, and although they were extremely sumptuous, there was no appetite at all for those present.
When the maid pours the wine, the wine is poured into the porcelain cup, making a pleasant sound.
Liang Yi was silent for a long time, picked up his wine glass, and said to Liang Chang:
"Lao Jiu, Chisha has been handed over to you, the people of Qizhi look stupid, but they are actually the most cunning, you must be careful, the eldest brother is waiting for you to return safely in Liangdu."
This was the first time he had called himself "Big Brother" in front of Liang Chang after many years, and the last time was when they were young in the Deren Palace.
Liang Chang's heart suddenly became full of mixed feelings, he also picked up the cup, touched it lightly on Liang Yi's wine glass, and answered in a deep voice:
"Yes."
"Qizhi Country?" Su Xian, who had been sitting silently on the side, seemed to understand from their conversation why today's atmosphere was so solemn, her heart was pounding, her eyes widened, and she looked at Liang Chang with disbelief. She kept reassuring herself in her heart that things shouldn't be what she thought, but her heart was beating hard.
Liang Chang glanced at Su Xian, he didn't tell her about his going to Chisha, the time was very tight, and ...... He didn't think he had to tell her about it. Still, when he saw her look at him like that, his heart sank slightly. He looked away from her face and pretended to sip the light wine in the porcelain cup calmly.
"Going to war?" Su Chan is more able to accept reality than Su Xian, and she has many sources and a more sensitive sense of smell for war, she asked with a flat face.
"Yes." Liang Ao looked at her black and white eyes and replied in a low voice.
Her eyes are clear and translucent, which symbolizes frankness and straightforwardness, and her over-frankness and straightforwardness represent the innocence in her heart, she is a naΓ―ve girl, living in the mortal world but as if she is not stained with dust, she is so clean and straightforward, so that he wants to protect her snow-white innocence.
"Hmm......" Su Chan snorted strangely from her nose and didn't say anything else.
Su Xian's guess was finally confirmed to be true, she breathed a little, raised her head, and glanced at Liang Chang with frightened eyes.
Liang Chang didn't look at her.
The handkerchief in her hand was gradually tightened, and Su Xian slowly lowered her head.
Liang Chang glanced at her with his peripheral vision, his mood became strange, he frowned unconsciously, and did not speak.
"Miss Su stays in Liangdu, I will ensure that she will not be in any danger, Ah Wei, you can rest assured." Liang Yi promised to the aftertaste in a serious tone.
Looking back at him, although he didn't want to get his love, he had to accept his love.
The aftertaste nodded slowly.
"Be careful." Liang Yi followed up with an instruct.
Aftertaste nodded lightly, and glanced at Su Miao, who was sitting beside him, out of the corner of his eye.
Su Miao just sat and didn't speak, and didn't look at him.
Aftertaste sighed inwardly.
β¦β¦
The family banquet ended in a solemn atmosphere, and the atmosphere did not become relaxed because of a meal.
After the end, Liang Yi and Bai Zhi personally sent everyone out of the gate of the prince's mansion.
The city gate has been closed, Wei Zhen has brought the child again, the mother and son are going to stay overnight in the prince's mansion, and then go out of the city tomorrow and return to the Xianglou, the most important thing is that Wei Zhen wants to talk to Lin Yan.
Su Xian and Su Chan also stayed.
Aftertaste and Su Miao went out.
Because the aftertaste has to go to the Ruiwang Mansion.
When he said that he was going to Rui Wang's Mansion, he said to Su Miao his first words to her since tonight, he said that he went to Rui Wang's Mansion to get something, and asked her if she wanted to go together, and now there is no one in Rui Wang's Mansion.
Su Miao didn't answer, she took a silent step and followed him.
The Prince's Mansion is not far from the Rui Wang's Mansion, and you can also walk, and you chose to walk in the aftertaste.
He walked in front, Su Miao followed, and the distance between the two people was always two steps away. Not long after leaving, Liang Ao and Liang Chang rode up from behind, and they guessed that they were fighting a cold war by looking at the appearance of the two of them, so they didn't say much, said hello and left.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the surroundings were quiet again, and the moon in the night sky was releasing a silvery white light in the sleeping Liang Capital.
Aftertaste and Su Miao walked a while one after the other, and gradually, Aftertaste, who was walking in front, began to slow down, he didn't walk fast, after slowing down, in fact, Su Miao only needed to take a step forward to be side by side with him.
But Su Miao also slowed down.
The aftertaste is dumb.
After a while, he began to adjust his pace again, and after several adjustments, Su Miao finally reached the point where she could not be slow, and if she was slow, she could only stop, but she didn't want to stop suddenly like she was angry, so she had to take a step forward and walk beside him.
She twisted her head and walked beside him.
The north wind in winter is as sharp as a knife, blowing head-on, cutting people's faces painfully.
Su Miao's eyes narrowed by the cold wind.
A blue rabbit fur collar with body temperature was draped over her body, pressing her slender body, much warmer than before.
Su Miao still didn't speak, but he didn't refuse him, because it was really cold tonight.
The two walked quietly for a while.
Aftertaste suddenly stretched out his hand and quietly held Su Miao's hand hidden under his sleeve.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and was about to break free, but the next moment, he held it tighter, his hand pried open her clenched palm, and her slender fingers wrapped around her five fingers and buckled together.
Although Su Miao was still unhappy, she didn't shake it off after two shakes, so she went with him.
