Chapter 173: He, No Longer Belongs to Her
More than a month has passed, and the child in Wanyan Lingyue's womb has been almost five months, and it is about to reach the end of the year, and there is heavy snow in the sky again. She copied books in the study every day, her little hands were red from the cold, and she couldn't use two braziers.
Since Liang Wenyu and Li Qingyuan knew that Yan Lingyue was pregnant, they haven't been here, after all, they are both scholars, and they often enter the widow's door, and they will always be told that Wanyan Lingyue is not a good person.
Liang Wenyu's family lives far away, not to mention, but Li Qingyuan often asks the girl in the family to come over and send some household things to Wan Yan Lingyue, and after coming and going, he is familiar with it.
Su Rin came back even less at night, he still had things on the rivers and lakes, he could come back once in four or five days a while ago, but he hadn't come back for almost ten days recently, Wanyan Lingyue didn't worry about him, after all, his martial arts were so high, there were very few people who could hurt him, even if someone could hurt him, with Su Rinye's light skills without a trace, no one could catch up with him.
The only thing that touched Yan Lingyue's heartstrings was the news that Bai Shengrui returned to Jiangnan, he finally went back safely, and when he returned to Jiangnan, he could show his strength, even if it was Emperor Bai Jingliang, it would be difficult to move him again.
Bai Shengrui returned to Jiangnan, Bai Jingliang pretended that nothing had happened, and rewarded him with a thousand taels of brocade, and gave Bai Shengrui the right to dictate in the fiefdom, which is a right that no other king has.
As soon as Bai Shengrui went back, there was a war in the south, Bai Shengrui put on armor and went into battle, and returned with a great victory, the emperor Longyan Dayue, named Bai Shengrui as the king of the south of the town, crowned with seven pearls, and the private army was added to 10,000 people. In the private army of the Western Zhou royal family, it is customary that each regular army can have ten escorts, that is to say, Bai Shengrui can already levy 100,000 private troops in Jiangnan.
As soon as this order came out, all the ministers of the court were awe-inspiring, and they didn't know what the emperor was planning. The right to dictate and 100,000 private troops, this is clearly to give Bai Shengrui a country within a country.
The practice of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiangnan won the battle, and the tax was reduced and reduced, and for a while, Bai Sheng Rui returned to the people, and the reputation of the virtuous king spread far and wide.
Even when Yan Lingyue went to hand in the transcript, he could hear the students talking about Bai Shengrui, full of yearning for him.
Bai Shengrui is still a hot figure in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately, he no longer belongs to her.
Wanyan Lingyue continued, living a peaceful life.
The end of the year is getting closer and closer, and the water outside the window is already dripping into ice.
Although Wanyan Lingyue was reluctant to go out, she was the only one at home, and the simple New Year's goods still had to be prepared, or it would be too lonely. After thinking about it, she wrapped herself in two thick cotton clothes and went out with an oil-paper umbrella.
It was a light snow, and the cold wind poured into her clothes, so cold that she shivered suddenly, and hurriedly walked towards the market.
After walking for half an hour, Wan Yan Lingyue arrived at the market, although it was snowing, but there were quite a lot of people here, Wan Yan Lingyue was going to buy some fruits first, and eat them as New Year's snacks.
When passing by Buzhuang, I found that there was a beautiful carriage parked at the entrance of Buzhuang, and the vermilion lacquered wood was carved with elegant lines.
Wanyan Lingyue frowned, this is the only way from the capital to Qingzhou, this carriage is not like Huaxi Village, it is not from Qingzhou, then it must be from the capital.
Just as she was thinking like this, a handsome man walked out wrapped in a white fox and a brand-new white warm glove on his hand, which turned out to be Ji Xi from the Spring Breeze Bright Moon Building.
Ji Xi naturally saw Wanyan Lingyue at a glance, his eyes were slightly startled, but he still walked over with a smile, looked Wanyan Lingyue up and down, and said, "Why do you have to be more depressed than the last time I saw you?" How did you end up here? Still dressed up like this? ”
Wanyan Lingyue also grinned, there are so many people in the capital, Ji Xi is the only one who doesn't know her identity, seeing Ji Xi at this time, she really has a thousand feelings in her heart, but more is warm, "It's hard to say, aren't you in the capital?" How did you get here? ”
"It's the end of the year in a few days, and Chunfeng Mingyue Lou won't accept guests, so my mother asked me to send some things back to her old family in Qingzhou. When I got to the junction in front, my gloves were torn and it was very cold here, so I went down and bought a new one. In front of Wanyan Lingyue, Ji Xi is always a lot more comfortable, Wanyan Lingyue will never look down on him as a person in the Qinglou, and he will treat him as a friend between words.
Before, she threw ten thousand taels, he thought that she would accompany her in that way, but Wanyan Lingyue was just drinking and having fun, and she never had the slightest frivolous attitude. He really liked this girl, and when he was around her, he felt as if he was much cleaner.
"I see." It seems that Ji Xi seems to have won the trust of his mother, and he was asked to pick a girl before, but now he is asked to go to Qingzhou to deliver things, and he is not afraid that Ji Xi will run away halfway.
But also, Ji Xi said before that he didn't plan to run at all.
"Since we bumped into each other today, why don't we have a glass of thin wine together?" Ji Xi seemed to see the shyness in Yan Lingyue's pocket, and paused and said, "I'm in for a treat." ”
Wanyan Lingyue touched her belly, shook her head and said, "I'm pregnant, I can't drink, but I can watch you drink, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you can also tell me about the situation in the capital." ”
Ji Xi's eyes suddenly fell on Wan Yan Lingyue's belly, and he said in surprise: "You are pregnant, congratulations, how many months have you been?" ”
"It's been five months." Wanyan Lingyue said.
"Five months, the child should be born in April or May. The roses leaning against the short wall in April and the pomegranates red like fire in May are all good times. Ji Xi seemed to be happier than Wanyan Lingyue, but the next moment, he frowned again, "You are pregnant, how can the child's father let you come out alone, what if something happens?" ”
Speaking of Bai Shengrui, Yan Lingyue's little face turned cold, "He's dead." ”
Ji Xi was about to say something that was suddenly choked, no wonder Wanyan Lingyue fell to such a point today, presumably she also suffered a lot, Ji Xi's life experience is also pitiful, after seeing Yan Lingyue like this, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "People can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn, after all, there are children." Let's get in the carriage and talk, it's too cold. ”
Wanyan Lingyue shook her head, "No, I came out today to prepare New Year's goods." You get in the car first, I'll come back to you when I'm done shopping. ”
"You have to prepare New Year's goods, I only went to the street with my mother to buy New Year's goods when I was very young, I'll go with you." Ji Xi is a person in the Qinglou, not like an ordinary family, although he can't get out, but he also yearns for such an ordinary and ordinary life, so he happily asks to go along.
Wanyan Lingyue naturally wouldn't refuse, so the two chatted eagerly while shopping on the street.
Ji Xi knew that Yan Lingyue was now alone, he calculated the time, he came back from Qingzhou and rushed to Huaxi Village, if the pace was slower, I was afraid that it was the day of the New Year, so he asked Yan Lingyue if she could come over to celebrate the New Year with her, and after Yan Lingyue thought about it, she responded.
