Chapter 185: Encounter with the Lantern Festival
After thinking about it, Xiang Feng smiled at Bo Zhaoxu: "We all know these things about your love for Yan'er, but ...... After all, you are still the fourth prince, and her uncle and I are ordinary people, so it is a great honor to be exempt from humility in front of you. How can my uncle and I afford that? ”
In the end, it was Sun's careful heart that he thought of this layer.
"It doesn't matter." Bo Zhaoxu smiled gently, "Yu Benwang doesn't have to be so polite, this king is just the same as her, just call it whatever it should be, you don't have to mind." ”
Xiang Feng was still a little guilty and self-blaming by Sun's words, and after listening to Bo Zhaoxu's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince is really too spoiled by this girl, if her mother knows, she must be happy to close her mouth, to have a nephew and son-in-law like the prince is simply a blessing that I cultivated in the first half of my life!" Your Majesty should be very proud to have such an approachable son as you. ”
Xiang Yeqi's heart sighed, Xiang Feng had not been out of the house for the past few days, nor had he inquired about things outside the house, the news was too closed, and he just picked up the hot pot.
She dragged the stool to Xiang Feng's side, and whispered in someone's ear: "In a few days, the prince will ascend the throne...... Don't go ahead and talk about it. ”
Sun didn't hear what the two uncles and nephews said, only to see Xiang Feng's face pale, a hearty smile suddenly froze on his face, his knees bent inexplicably, and he almost knelt on the ground.
Xiang Feng was stunned in his heart, probably only he himself was a little measured, if Bo Zhaoxu was still the fourth prince, it would be okay, he was hard-headed, and he could still treat Bo Zhaoxu as a junior, listen to Bo Zhaoxu's arrangement, and ignore the dignity in front of him. But he just seriously said that he recognized this nephew and son-in-law - but the future son of heaven!
That's nine heads, and it's not enough to be chopped off and played.
But Xiang Fengxin pondered that he didn't know this, and he could still be called confused, Bo Zhaoxu knew this, why did he still recognize him as the uncle of his wife's family? This is his own big face, it is clearly the big face of Xiang Yeqi!
Seeing that the atmosphere was very embarrassing, Xiang Yeqi was afraid of scaring Xiang Feng again, so he simply went straight to the point: "Uncle, I didn't come this time just to report peace to you, but I want to ask you some old things - do you know what I experienced in the two years when I was seven or eight years old?" What happened in the next few years? ”
Xiang Feng's nervous mood eased slightly, but he was very confused about Xiang Yeqi's intentions: "What are you doing with these suddenly?" After all this time, I don't necessarily remember much. Why don't you ask the old lady? You grew up with her, she should remember to be clearer, if you feel that it is difficult to speak, I will take you to ask her. ”
Xiang Yeqi smiled helplessly: "Grandmother is a busy person now, let alone uncle, even if it is me, I may not be able to see her at this time." ”
Xiang Feng was even more surprised-Xiang Mansion was deserted, what was she busy with Old Lady Xiang? Even Zhang Luo's juniors have some troubles in their marriages, and they can't be busy with her.
Bo Zhaoxu actually understood the meaning of Xiang Yeqi's smile, and said with a smile: "This king passed by Xiangfu when he came to Yeqi, and it is really a city, and even the palace is not as good as it." ”
He didn't mean to sarcastically say something to the old lady, but now the palace is indeed deserted and lonely, and most of the palace is empty. Xiangfu is completely different, the news in Beijing is so closed, probably only Xiangfeng Mansion, those who are well-informed, as soon as they heard that Bo Zhaoxu was going to ascend the throne, they immediately went to visit Xiangfu with generous gifts.
The status of Mrs. Xiang, the patriarch, is also rising with the tide, why? Since Xiang Yeqi is Bo Zhaoxu's wife, it is impossible for the position of this queen to fall on others, not to mention Bo Zhaoxu's love for Xiang Yeqi, everyone in Beijing knows it.
Even if the Xiang family had a high status in the court earlier, there was only such a queen as Xiang Yeqi, that is, the old lady Xiang wanted to make a show, and regarded Xiang Yeqi as a pearl in her hand, and she had to be busy dealing with those guests who came to Xiang's mansion to pay a visit, so that she could spare some effort to care about Xiang Yeqi.
"I see."
Xiang Feng realized that he had figured out these causes and effects, and he smiled helplessly, Xiang The balance in the old lady's heart, the family has always been the light side.
"I'll tell you the truth, Yan'er, except for a few times this year, the last time I saw you was a year ago, but the last time you saw me, it was when you were seven years old."
He smiled a little bitterly.
"What do you mean?"
Bo Zhaoxu was even more confused than Xiang Yeqi The deep meaning of these words was probably because of Xiang Yeqi's past life experience, and he knew a little more than Xiang Yeqi.
"I had a serious illness when I was young, probably when I was six years old? Her father and mother searched all over the world for her, and they all said that there was no way to cure, so they could only prepare for the aftermath and let people walk decently. But the next year, her mother died first, leaving her alone. That year, the girl in Xiangfu didn't take care of her for a while, let her fall into the pool, and had a serious illness. ”
Xiang Feng said that the only difference between Shangguan Rao's inquiry and Shangguan Rao's inquiry is that the ones that Shangguan Rao inquired about are more brief, and the year is unknown.
Xiang Yeqi subconsciously reached out to interlock his fingers with Bo Zhaoxu, seeking some reassurance. And Xiang Feng seems to have been saving words for a long time, and finally found someone who can say it in one breath.
"The last time you saw you, was it at my mother's funeral?" She asked.
"Yes."
Xiang Feng was a little relieved that Xiang Yeqi still remembered this, he didn't remember the details very well, but he could vaguely remember a little.
"I am a side branch of the Xiang family with your mother, she married into the capital, but I can't come to see her often, one is because I often run around for business matters, miss too much, some things, it's too late. Second, she is the adopted daughter of the family, and your uncle-in-law often reminds me to avoid suspicion. ”
"At that time, I often felt that your life was bitter, not to mention that you had a strange disease that no one could cure, and you were still sick and unable to wake up due to the wind and cold, how much your mother should feel sorry for you! If you don't wake up for a long time, the old lady often looks for a doctor for you, and the doctor says that although you don't wake up for a long time, your body is getting better day by day, and even the strange disease is already getting better. ”
As the party in Xiang Feng's words, Xiang Yeqi inevitably feels that what Xiang Feng said is a bit ridiculous, but if it is combined with what he recalls, it is still somewhat credible.
"You go on."
"I don't know much about what happened after this, I'm very biased here, your mother has passed away again, even if you want to go back to your home, there is no suitable reason, so I have to come and see how you are doing in the name of doing business in Beijing. Listen to the girl who takes care of you, you will still wake up for a while every three or five days, when you are lucky, you can wake up all day, but most of the time you lie on the couch, fortunately in good health, your grandmother hid you for nearly seven years. ”
This is really a bit complicated for the old lady, saying that it is to take care of Xiang Yeqi, which is not wrong, but it is more to let others not know that the Xiang family has such an eldest daughter with a strange disease, so as not to fall into the mouth.
After hearing this from Xiang Feng's mouth, Xiang Yeqi finally understood the trivial things she was confused about, and it happened that it was getting late, so she thanked Xiang Feng and the others, and went out of the courtyard with Bo Zhaoxu.
After a moment of silence, the two opened their mouths almost at the same time, but Bo Zhaoxu wanted to be earlier: "After listening to this, do you think of anything?" ”
"Some."
Xiang Yeqi calmly moved his gaze to the night, but the bottom of his heart was like boiling water, and he didn't know what to sigh about.
"Night, don't push yourself." Bo Zhaoxu held Xiang Ye's cheek and looked at people solemnly: "How can those things in the past stumble you?" Even if you forget that, what's the matter? If you want to teach this king to look forward, you should also look forward. ”
"I understand what the prince said, but I don't necessarily understand these truths, so I can handle these trivial matters. Fortunately, I don't have too much obsession with these past things, all the things I care about......" Xiang Yeqi remembered the unconventional first meeting with Bo Zhaoxu, and couldn't help laughing. "It's all in my heart, as long as I don't forget it, I'm not afraid."
She couldn't help laughing at Bo Zhaoxu: "But Lord Wang, you have some ability to make fun of people, and in terms of comforting people, it is a bit unsatisfactory, and I can barely give you a passing grade." ”
Gaining an inch is often after day after day after day of arrogance, and the matter of willingness comes very unreasonably and suddenly.
"A passing grade?"
Bo Zhaoxu tilted his head in confusion, what does this "passing grade" mean?
Just as he was about to speak, he and Xiang Yeqi saw the fireworks blooming in the distance under the full moon.
The first emperor died, and happy events like the Lantern Festival had to be canceled, probably in order to fulfill this idea, Bo Zhaoxu changed this old rule, so that he could meet tonight.
He also dreamed by chance that what was in front of him was a peaceful and prosperous world, and he and Xiang Yeqi were wandering aimlessly in the street market, or "just", or the Changning that he had been hoping for in his heart.
Ten miles and five miles, long pavilions and short pavilions, life and death are wide, and you can't ask the sky.
The sound of fireworks stopped, and two more sounds rang to Night's stomach, as if to respond to the fireworks in the sky. At this point, Bo Zhaoxu also took off the burden on his shoulders and pinched Xiang Ye's cheek: "You woman is really-that's it, you know that you are hungry, it seems that you are fine, this king will take you to visit the lamp market." ”
This was said as if she only knew how to eat to Yeqi, and when she caught up with Xiang Yeqi, she was in a good mood at this time, so she learned to go back: "I see that the prince's ability to laugh at people has not only not weakened, but has become more annoying, it seems that the prince is nothing serious, then I can rest assured." ”
