Volume 1: Painting Tang Chun Chapter 13: Why She
When the emperor slowly approached the Baoding Hall from the outside, all the ministers got up to greet him, and saw that he was not only followed by King Heng but also a girl's family, and they were all puzzled. Ling Deyan was also surprised to see that his daughter actually followed the Emperor's Palace.
Qingxi saw his father at a glance in the crowd, and his eyes looked straight at him, thinking that his father was probably as completely confused as himself at this time. The emperor unexpectedly cared about her marriage in the Yuyue Pavilion, and then ordered her to follow her to participate in the Qing Poetry Society. And Xiao Yizheng stood aside and didn't say a word.
Along the way, she only felt that she was afraid that she was not only in big trouble last night, but that she had caused trouble one after another with people who should not be provoked, but she really didn't do anything out of the ordinary! Well, if there is anything out of the ordinary, it is to refuse the marriage of His Majesty the Emperor in person. Speaking of this marriage, she remembered Zeng Qidao, so she swept around the crowd, but failed to find him.
The emperor suddenly slowed down, turned to look at her, and when he saw her eyes looking around, he stopped, leaned down slightly, and said softly: "Wait a while, listen to whose voice in this hall is the one you heard last night!" With that, he strode over the high threshold and sat down.
Qingxi's whole body was cold in an instant, his heartbeat increased violently, and his face turned pale uncontrollably. The right leg she had just stepped out of was constantly weak, which made her see that she was about to trip over the threshold and fall to the ground, not to mention the lethality of the emperor's words to herself and the Ling family, and to plant it so straight now is to lose the face of the Ling family in front of everyone.
She closed her eyes, ready for the imaginable pain, but an unexpected warm force suddenly in her waist quickly took her away from the ground in front of her, and she felt that the hands around her waist were firm and strong, as if her heartbeat was gradually calming down because of this stability.
She was hugged and stood still, smelling a faint fresh smell like grass, and when she raised her eyes, Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows and eyes were close in front of her, just like last night, and the deep exploration in his eyes at this moment was also the same as last night.
Qingxi blinked twice, only to realize that the posture of the two of them was very inappropriate at the moment, his hands around her waist, and her face resting on his chest. This posture made her heartbeat speed again, and then looked around, so many pairs of eyes in this hall stared straight at them. Her face suddenly turned crimson, from her neck to her earlobes, and her two hands quickly pushed Xiao Yizheng away.
Xiao Yizheng quietly withdrew his hand, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "It's this king who is rude, and I hope the girl Haihan." ”
Qingxi hurriedly returned the salute: "It's the courtiers who are distracted and don't see the road under their feet, thank you for your help." ”
I don't know which lord said: "Your Highness is very skilled." Everyone who was staring at the two of them began to echo the words.
The emperor, who was standing not far away, looked at them quietly and ordered, "Everyone sit down." ”
And they all dispersed.
Xiao Yizheng also strode towards his seat. Qingxi wanted to follow him, wanting to tell him what the emperor had just said to him. The emperor said that sentence very lightly, and only he heard it. Not to mention that she can't keep up with him at all, even in this situation, it is inconvenient for her to say a word to him.
She was worried, and heard the emperor instruct again: "Ling Shilang, Ling Yan is very smart and icy, since I let you bring your family to this Baoding Mountain, I can't let her be absent from this Qing Poetry Meeting, let her sit next to you and watch this talented man compete for romance." ”
Ling Deyan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty has praised it, thank you for your grace." ”
The rest of the hall made eye contact, wondering if the emperor's unruly arrangement had other meanings.
Xiao Yihe, who was sitting in the second seat, took a deep look at Xiao Yizheng, who was already sitting on the side, and said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, haven't you seen your father's intentions?" ”
"I know."
"You could have done nothing." Xiao Yi said gently.
"Third brother, anyone, I will make a move."
Xiao Yihe smiled slightly, "Actually, I also want to know why her." ”
Xiao Yizheng frowned, did not reply, and turned to look at Ling Qingxi, who was already sitting beside Ling Deyan. At this time, she looked very well-behaved, just sitting respectfully, Ling Deyan on the side looked serious, as if he was teaching her something. There was fear on her face, and it turned out that this girl could be undisguised when she was afraid.
He didn't know what his father had talked about with her in the Jade Moon Pavilion, but when he saw her kneeling in front of her father so straight, there was no fear on his face. Why did her father choose her? It's time for him to think about it.
