Chapter 112: The Appointment (I)
The marriage of the princes has been decided, and they all marry the concubine on the first day of the fourth month.
The news flew to all corners of the capital as if it had grown wings. The capital also began to be lively, and it had not been a long time since such a grand event had made everyone so happy. The princes have long been adults, and they have been delayed until now, so you can imagine how exciting this news is.
After all, the princes have concubines, and then there will be side concubines, and Mrs. and others have entered the palace one after another, and some people know that there is no hope of becoming a concubine, but Mrs. Side Concubine and others can still think about it.
Shang Liyuan was about to put down the book in her hand when she heard a knock on the door, "Come in." ”
"Master, the eldest prince sent a letter, saying that he wanted to see you." After Aru entered the door, he took the door and said things directly.
Shang Liyuan raised her eyebrows, she hadn't found trouble with the eldest prince yet, he sent it to the door by himself.
"When and where?"
"When you are unitary, you don't get drunk"
"I'm really good at picking places." Shang Liyuan was a little surprised that Jing Yu would choose her industry, although she knew that Jing Yu didn't know that it was hers who didn't get drunk.
Ah Ru hung his head and didn't answer, waiting for Shang Liyuan's orders.
"Just say I'll be ready."
"Yes." Aru went to reply.
The room was quiet again, and Shang Liyuan looked at the book on the table, stunned. After a long time, he called Manmu to tell the Qin family that he was going out of the house at night.
Manmu got the order and went to the Qin family's lily garden.
Aru quietly went around to the northwest corner of the Shang Mansion, and the Northwest Pavilion was also here, but now during the day, it was not suitable to meet in the pavilion. In the northwest corner, Xia Yan paced back and forth with an anxious face, looking left and right from time to time, and finally, when he saw the person he met, the anxious look on his face turned into a smile on his face.
Then he greeted him, "Sister Aru, you're here." ”
Aru unconsciously gave Xia Yan a roll of his eyes, Xia Yan didn't care, he was still dead-skinned and full of flattery.
"Well, the master said he would arrive on time."
"Really? Ouch, it's really great, then I can go back to my life, thank you, Sister Aru, I'll go first, thank you, thank you. Xia Yan was very happy, and turned to leave as he spoke.
Aru looked at Xia Yan, who was smiling like a child, and there was a trace of unknown emotion in his indifferent eyes.
Soon, Ah Ru and Manmu both returned to Liyuan, like Shang Liyuan replied.
In the evening, Shang Liyuan, who had finished dinner, was ready to go out, "Pod, just have Aru and Manhua follow me, you are in the house." ”
"Yes, miss." Pod obediently replied, "It's freezing outside, Miss wear more." With that, he went to get the cloak and put it on Shang Liyuan. Shang Liyuan gathered her cloak, gave Pod a reassuring smile, and left with Ah Ru.
Pod Er and Manmu watched the back of Shang Liyuan and the others leaving, until they couldn't see it anymore, and then turned around and went back to their respective rooms together. As soon as I returned to my room, I thought about it, and went to Shang Liyuan's main house, left a lamp for Shang Liyuan, added enough charcoal, and went to make the bed, and put the soup woman in the quilt, so that when Shang Liyuan came back, it would be very warm.
After doing all this, Pod sat by the charcoal fire, and after a while, Pod fell asleep.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shang Liyuan's carriage stopped at the door of the undrunk building, and Xiao Er, who was not drunk at the door of the building, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him after seeing the car sign of the merchant mansion. Ah Ru carefully put on Shang Liyuan's bib before he got out of the carriage first, turned around and helped Shang Liyuan get out of the carriage.
"Miss, but you want to eat?" Xiao Er greeted him politely.
Shang Liyuan, with the support of Aru, walked straight to the restaurant.
Xiao Er, who stayed in place, his original look of courtesy instantly became extremely ugly, in this capital, who doesn't know not to get drunk? Even if some dignitaries and nobles came, they didn't say how good it was for them, at least there was no such disgrace.
But is this the case with this man? Xiao Er's face was ugly, and he walked behind and entered the non-drunk building.
The magnificent, majestic and non-drunk building, even after the time of eating, there are still many people.
As soon as Shang Liyuan and the others entered the hall, Xia Yan was already waiting, "Miss is here, my master has been waiting for a long time, please come with the slave." ”
Xia Yan took half a step to the right front, leading the way in front, and Aru, who was supporting Shang Liyuan on the side, looked at Xia Yan who was leading the way with complicated eyes. Manhua inadvertently saw Aru's eyes, and there was a ripple in her heart.
Soon arrived at the private room on the second floor, Xia Yan walked to room No. 3, and then made a gesture of invitation to Shang Liyuan, Shang Liyuan understood, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Master, Miss Shang has arrived."
"Stand down." Jing Mo stood in front of the window, did not turn around, and ordered directly.
"Yes." Xia Yan got the order and looked at Ah Ru and Manhua beside Shang Liyuan, Shang Liyuan naturally knew what it meant, "You guys should go down too." ”
"Yes." Ah Ru and Manhua walked out, Xia Yan followed, and then closed the door.
"What are you looking for me?" Shang Liyuan took off her bib, put it on the table, found a random place to sit down, and looked at Jing Yu who was still standing by the window.
Jing Yu turned around and looked at Shang Liyuan carefully.
Today's Shang Liyuan is dressed in plain clothes, her hair is casually hairpinned with a wooden hairpin, her smiling face is not powdered, her facial features appear more exquisite, and Jing Yu has some different emotions in her heart.
Shang Liyuan saw that Jing Yu was just staring at her, not speaking, frowned, and asked again in a somewhat cold voice, "What is the matter with you looking for me?" ”
Jing Yu retracted his gaze, with some apology in his eyes, "I want to say sorry to you." ”
"Oh? I don't know if there is anything that needs the eldest son of Emperor Yao Shunguo to say sorry? Shang Liyuan pretended not to know and asked rhetorically.
Jing Yu naturally understood the sarcasm in Shang Liyuan's tone, shook his head indifferently, and then came to the table and sat down next to Shang Liyuan. Seeing this, Shang Liyuan got up and sat next to her, vacating the middle position and widening the distance between her and Jing Yu.
"Yesterday in the court, I took advantage of Qin Shangshu, I need to apologize to you for this matter." Jing Yu looked at Shang Liyuan's movements with displeasure in his eyes, but didn't say much.
"Hehe, the eldest prince should apologize to my grandfather, what is the reason for apologizing to me?"
"I know, I asked Qin Shangshu to help me speak yesterday, and let Qin Shangshu say that it was not appropriate to testify, but at that time, Jingmo had already proposed to his father, this is the best time to give marriage, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know when we will be able to talk about our marriage next time?" Jing Yu explained urgently.
"Then you can make a decision without notifying me?" Shang Liyuan looked at Jing Yu with sharp eyes.
This feeling of being concealed made Shang Liyuan very unhappy. Besides, fortunately, he and his grandfather talked about the marriage with the eldest prince, and his grandfather was willing to testify, if he hadn't told his grandfather in advance, wouldn't Jing Yu be ugly in court?
Shang Liyuan didn't find anything wrong with her idea, nor did she find that she began to think about Jing Yu a little.
"I didn't expect Jing Mo to ask for marriage on the same day, I thought that this matter would be mentioned by Concubine Xue. It happened suddenly, and I made a decision without much thought, and I was wrong about it, so I wanted to make an appointment with you today to say sorry to you in person. ”
