Chapter 281: Taken aback
"This is what the emperor said himself! I didn't give the emperor a set this time! Ouyang Huaiyu, who had just returned to the small courtyard, couldn't wait to tell Xia Zhixue about the conversation with the emperor in the court today. The emperor personally promised me. ”
However, Xia Zhixue didn't eat this, and it wasn't because the emperor was afraid that you would be too emotional, so he said this to comfort you, but the little excitement in his heart was still hidden in his eyes.
"When you go back, I will immediately ask the emperor for a decree to marry us."
Xia Zhixue nodded, after so long of hard life, now that she can finally be with the person she likes, in addition to being happy, she is still a little excited and wants to cry.
"What? Am I unhappy to marry? Ouyang Huaiyu saw the little tears flashing in Xia Zhixue's eyes, and he was a little distressed.
Xia Zhixue shook her head, "Fool, these are happy tears!" ”
Ouyang Huaiyu relieved his heart at this time, lowered his head and kissed Xia Zhixue's eyes.
"However, you just said that the emperor also arranged a family affair for Ouyang Huaisen?"
Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, "The daughter of Prime Minister Dong's family." There is such a baby daughter in the family, and the seventh brother will not suffer. ”
The daughter of Prime Minister Dong's family? "Dong Ningxiang?"
Ouyang Huaiyu was a little surprised, "You know her?" ”
Xia Zhixue shook her head, she had only heard of this Dong Ningxiang, and when she was in Houfu before, she had heard this name from Xia Zhiqiu's mouth. Xia Huaiqing has invited the best pipa teacher for Xia Zhiqiu since he was a child, and Xia Zhiqiu has indeed lived up to Xia Huaiqing's expectations, Xia Zhixue, who doesn't know much about pipa, has heard Xia Zhiqiu's playing once or twice, and it is indeed one level higher than ordinary people.
However, once overheard Dong Ningxiang's piano sound, Xia Zhixue felt as if she was completely emotionally driven by this song. Xia Zhiqiu's tunes are just smooth playing, and he can only play some famous songs composed by the ancients.
However, Dong Ningxiang is different, with the sound of her piano, you can exactly feel the feelings in the piano. Xia Zhixue remembered very well that by chance she heard Dong Ningxiang's piano and saw a maidservant next to her crying silently.
A woman of this level who can play the pipa is naturally not an ordinary woman.
"It's just that I'm worried that Ouyang Huaisen is so sad now, and suddenly has a wife he doesn't know well, how will he feel in his heart?"
Rao is listening to Xia Zhixue worrying about another man, and Ouyang Huaiyu was not jealous at all. Because that person is his seventh brother. He trusts the most, the dearest Seventh Brother. And Ouyang Huaiyu knew that Ouyang Huaisen had always treated Xia Zhixue as a sister.
But then it's a brother and sister.
Ouyang Huaiyu thought so, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips.
Xia Zhixue slapped Ouyang Huaiyu lightly on the back of the head, "Your seventh brother is getting married, in such an emotion, you want to marry a woman of unknown origin, you can still laugh?" ”
Xia Zhixue was really going to be angry with Ouyang Huaiyu.
Ouyang Huaiyu realized Ouyang Huaisen's situation at this time, "Then I'll go see Seventh Brother." You wait at home for me to come back. ”
After speaking, a gentle kiss fell on Xia Zhixue's forehead, and he went out. Jiangsu Literature Network
When I came to the Seven Kings' Mansion, red lanterns were already hanging high everywhere. The snow on the ground is lit up in red, making it particularly festive. When the housekeeper saw that it was Ouyang Huaiyu, he put down the things in his hand and gave Ouyang Huaiyu a salute. Then he said, "The Seventh Prince is in the study." ”
Ouyang Huaiyu was also familiar with the Seven Kings' Mansion, so he came to Ouyang Huaisen's study.
Rao had already guessed Ouyang Huaisen's depression at the moment, but seeing such a decadent Ouyang Huaisen, Ouyang Huaiyu was still startled.
What caught his eye was the person sitting quietly at the desk, however, Ouyang Huaisen's eyes were already blank at the moment. Originally blazing, a pair of aura eyes have now become lifeless, like a living dead.
At this time, the maidservant who had come to deliver the meal knocked on the door three times and came in.
Ouyang Huaiyu frowned and asked the maidservant, "How do you all take care of Seventh Brother?" How did it become the way it is? ”
The maid knelt on the ground with a "poof", Xu didn't expect Ouyang Huaiyu to come suddenly, and the maid's voice trembled, almost with a little crying.
"Nineteen princes spare their lives! In the past few days, the Seven Princes have not eaten or drunk, and the slaves and maids have been persuaded for a long time, but the Seventh Prince just doesn't listen to the slaves and maids! ”
Ouyang Huaiyu sighed, and casually took the meal from the maidservant's hand, "Forget it, it's not your fault." You go out first. ”
Ouyang Huaiyu also had a lot of helplessness in his heart, why Ouyang Huaisen became like this, he couldn't be clearer in his heart. What he knows better is that now as long as he says that Xia Zhixue is not dead, his seventh brother will not still be like this.
But he couldn't, he couldn't.
If he told Ouyang Huaisen now, it would undoubtedly give Xia Zhixue a little more danger. If the emperor found out that Xia Zhixue was not dead, then he and Xia Zhixue would be guilty of bullying the king. Xia Zhixue's hatred is still on his back, how can he add danger to Xia Zhixue because of his selfishness?
If it really happened in the future, Ouyang Huaiyu was afraid that he would hate himself for the rest of his life.
Ouyang Huaiyu quietly brought the meal to Ouyang Huaisen, if it was usual, he would definitely congratulate Ouyang Huaisen with a hippie smile on adding a new princess, but when he arrived, Ouyang Huaiyu found that he couldn't speak.
Looking at Ouyang Huaisen's face closely, the dark circles under his eyes were almost drooping to his face, and he was like Ouyang Huaisen who had smiling eyebrows and crooked eyes before. Ouyang Huaiyu walked over and patted Ouyang Huaisen's shoulder gently, and Ouyang Huaisen noticed Ouyang Huaiyu's arrival.
So he forced out a smile, "Little Nineteen is here?" Sit down! ”
Ouyang Huaiyu put the meal on the desk with his hand, and found a place to lean on it. Facing Ouyang Huaisen's face, Ouyang Huaiyu always felt so conflicted and guilty.
I'm sorry, Brother Seven. I can't tell you right now. When the time comes, I will personally come and apologize to you.
"Seventh brother, no matter how sad you are, you still have to live your life. If you don't eat like this, you'll only make it difficult for the people below. ”
Ouyang Huaisen understands the truth, but when he thinks of Xia Zhixue's laughter, her crying, and when facing difficulties, that stubborn strength is not cutting Ouyang Huaisen's heart every second.
With a wry smile, Ouyang Huaisen shook his head, "I know." I'm not going to let them get punished. Horizontally and vertically, I can't eat it myself. ”
Ouyang Huaiyu turned his head to the other side, and he sighed deeply, "Seventh brother, if you can't laugh, don't force it." It's ugly. ”
Ouyang Huaisen finally put away his wry smile and changed it back to when Ouyang Huaiyu first came in, he looked depressed. The horizontal and vertical smiles are all pretended, so as not to worry others.
