Chapter 287: Mother?
Thinking of this, his expression gradually sank, with a little frustration. Qin Se saw it in his eyes and was about to say a word of concern, when he suddenly saw the housekeeper in the mansion trotting all the way over, and said: "The prince, the county lord, the eldest princess and Guo Yuma suddenly came, indicating that they wanted to see the lady of Xiling......"
Li Chengxuan suddenly changed color, and walked back without saying a word, walking in a hurry, very anxious. Only Qin Se stayed where he was, and he couldn't figure it out, wasn't the eldest princess the prince's own sister? The two have always had a deep relationship between sisters and brothers, what's wrong today?
Although Qin Se had doubts in her heart, after all, she was the person next to the Queen Mother, and she was the county lord of Dezong Qinfeng, so she had to show up to say hello to the eldest princess no matter what, so she hurriedly followed Li Chengxuan.
When the two came to the courtyard where Xilingyue lived, they heard the voice of the eldest princess of Hanyang coming from the entrance hall from a distance: "Where is she?" Quick, take me to meet me! ”
Then came Guo Zhongting's stop voice: "Mother, her injuries have not healed, let's talk about it another day!" ”
Qin Se didn't have time to ask who "she" was, but saw that Li Chengxuan had already jumped up three steps in one step, pushed open the door and stepped inside: "Imperial sister, brother-in-law." ”
Qin Se also lifted his skirt and followed into the house, and at a glance, he saw that the eldest princess of Hanyang was full of anxiety, and there were tears on her cheeks. Guo Yuma and Guo Zhongting were supporting her left and right, as if they were comforting her.
Seeing that it was Li Chengxuan entering the house, the eldest princess of Hanyang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his arm, and asked urgently, "Chengxuan, where is the lady of Xiling?" Where is it? See me! ”
Li Chengxuan didn't answer, and quickly glared at Guo Zhongting, who had an expression of injustice and helplessness.
The eldest princess of Hanyang didn't pay attention to the small movements between the two, she couldn't help but look into the inner hall, and she was about to go in with her feet, Li Chengxuan saw this, and took a step in front of her: "Sister Huang, the matter has not been decided, and she ...... Xiling."
"What's wrong?" A familiar woman's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting him.
Several people followed the sound and saw that it was a green onion white hand that opened the crystal bead curtain, first poked out half of its head, and then walked out with the support of the maidservant. She has no powder on her face, her face is slightly pale, and she only has a pair of dark apricot eyes, which are quite bright, like deep ancient well water. Her hair was loosely bunned, with only a chic hosta inserted. She was wearing an extremely simple goose yellow dress, and an apricot-colored thin cloak was draped outside, looking like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
It was the month of Xiling.
She was talking to Atsui in the inner hall when she suddenly heard some noise outside, and couldn't help but come out to take a look. At this glance, she saw Li Chengxuan, who had not been seen for many days, she was overjoyed, consciously ignored the others, and shouted: "Lord Wang, you are finally here, I am looking for you for something!" ”
Li Chengxuan hadn't seen her for many days, seeing that she was not looking good and that she had lost a lot of weight, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and only said hello lightly: "Xiling." ”
It was this salutation that woke up the eldest princess of Hanyang, and she immediately walked to Xilingyue's side: "You are the lady of Xiling, right?" You...... It's so nice......"
The eldest princess grabbed Xilingyue's hand and looked her up and down, but before she could say a few words, tears had already fallen.
Guo Zhongting rarely glanced at it once, stepped forward to pull away the eldest princess, and awkwardly introduced to Xilingyue: "Sister Yue'er, this is my mother, the eldest princess of Hanyang." He turned back and pointed to Guo Yuma, "This is my father, the captain of the horse and the son of the country." ”
Xiling Yue still hasn't figured out the situation, but seeing that these two are Guo Zhongting's parents, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly put away her idleness and saluted seriously: "The folk girl has seen the eldest princess and Guo Yuma. ”
Atsui also followed suit: "The servant Atsui sees the eldest princess and the concubine." ”
"Xiling lady, we took the liberty to disturb us, don't be surprised." At this time, the concubine Guo Yan also stepped forward, and he also showed love towards Xiling Yue.
The latter was confused, and didn't know why the eldest princess and Guo Juma came to visit him, but he also took the opportunity to recognize the appearance of the two of them, and recalled Guo Zhongting's family background - the eldest princess of Hanyang, whose maiden name is Li Chang, is the eldest daughter of the empress dowager of the dynasty, and she is also the sister of the saint. She should be thirty-seven or eight this year, she looks plump and beautiful, quite charming, although the tears at the corners of her eyes blur the eye makeup, but you can still see that her eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar to Li Chengxuan, the bridge of her nose is high, full of noble bearing.
And Guo Jun, the captain of the horse, his grandfather is Dezong's "father" - Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County, and his mother is Dezong's most beloved daughter - the late Princess Zhaoyi, the eldest prince of the kingdom, that is, Princess Shengping, and his father is Guo Ziyi's heir - the late Guo Yu, the acting prince of the country. Guo Juma seems to be a few years older than the eldest princess, tall and straight, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes do not show his age, but rather set off his calmness. When Xi Lingyue saw him, she finally knew who Guo Zhongting's appearance with red lips and white teeth had bequeathed, and the father and son were really carved out of the same appearance.
The eldest princess and Guo Juma are dressed very casually today, wearing monochrome clothes, and they don't wear a few valuable ornaments, and they look very approachable. Coupled with Li Chengxuan and Guo Zhongting, Xilingyue had a good impression of the two of them, so she smiled sweetly: "I don't know what the eldest princess and Guo Juma are doing when they come to see the people's daughter?" But what do you want to command? ”
Guo Yan waved his hand, and before he could say "nothing", he saw that the eldest princess had already said "oops", pointed to Xilingyue and said to her husband: "Look, look, look!" Her eyebrows, eyes, and demeanor when she laughed were exactly the same as when I was young! The eldest princess was already crying loudly as she spoke, hugged Xilingyue, and cried bitterly, "My poor daughter, my mother is looking for you so hard!" ”
Xiling Yue was stunned for a moment.
Li Chengxuan frowned even more when he saw this, and Guo Zhongting stepped forward to pull away the eldest princess: "Sister Huang, this matter is still uncertain, you are still ......"
"Why can't I be sure, I know it's her at a glance!" The eldest princess broke away from Li Chengxuan, wiped her tears and asked Xilingyue, "Let me ask you, are you eighteen this year?" Born in July? ”
"My birthday is August, but ......," Xilingyue replied truthfully, "but my stepfather said that I was already full-term when he picked me up on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"That's right! My miserable daughter was born on the seventh day of the seventh month, and it must be you! ”
"Daughter?!" Only then did Xiling Yue react, her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "You mean I am your ......"
The eldest princess remembered the old thing, choked up again, and nodded with difficulty: "My hard-working daughter was lost in infancy, and it has been a full eighteen years now!" ”
Guo Yan saw that the eldest princess was excited, for fear that she would hurt her body, so he asked Guo Zhongting to help her sit down, and continued to ask: "Xiling lady, this matter is very important, please answer truthfully, do you have a crescent-shaped birthmark on your left shoulder?" He paused for a moment and added, "It's the shape of a moth eyebrow moon, cinnabar-colored." ”
"I ......" Rao is Xiling Yue is generous, this is also the most private thing in her daughter's family, how can she say it in front of everyone?
Guo Yan also felt a little presumptuous, and replied apologetically: "Please also ask the lady to understand, we are looking for a woman, and we have no offense." ”
Xilingyue only felt that this matter was too sudden, and she didn't know how to respond, so she had to turn her head to look at Li Chengxuan.
The latter kept frowning and stopped talking, but after all, he couldn't bear to let the eldest princess and his wife run in vain, so he said: "Xiling, let my imperial sister go in with you to have a look." ”
The eldest princess immediately looked expectant. Atsui also said in her ear at the right time: "Don't worry, lady, the maid will serve you." ”
Xiling Yue only felt a mess in her mind, and when she saw Li Chengxuan signaling to herself, she also nodded in a daze, and followed the eldest princess and Atsui into the inner hall......
