Chapter Seventy-Two: Love Thread
Meng Xiqiao was stunned when she heard this, except for nodding, she still nodded. After a while, a question came to mind: "My sister is very grateful." It's just my sister...... The talent is mediocre and there is nothing outstanding. ”
It is naturally good to be fortunate to be able to marry into the Hou Mansion. But she was only afraid that people would not look down on her, and in the end it would be empty of joy.
"My sister's innocence and kindness are the best qualities." Meng Xilan comforted her.
What she likes is Meng Xiqiao's honesty.
Whether this family business succeeds or not, the key depends on the reputation of the Meng family and their own layout.
Meng Xiqiao saw that her eyes were burning, as if she was very optimistic about her feelings, and silently lowered her eyebrows, happy in her heart.
After Meng Xilan said a few more words, she let her go back and rest.
Suddenly, the nurse came up to take Brother Yun away, but was stopped by Meng Xilan softly, "I'm going back to the palace tomorrow, let me take a look at Brother Yun." ”
She couldn't bear him, and wanted to hug him more.
Qiao Huiyun's heart moved, sent away the nurse, handed Brother Yun to Meng Xilan, and asked softly: "In the future, won't it be possible to come back once a month?" ”
Meng Xilan looked at her sister-in-law, and then at Brother Yun, "I'm afraid it won't be done." Niangniang's side can't leave me, and I'm not good at always opening my mouth to say that I want to come back, and it is estimated that it is not easy to see each other in three or two months. ”
The identity of this princess is both a blessing and a responsibility. Therefore, it is her responsibility to make the Queen Mother happy.
Qiao Huiyun couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this.
Although he was titled, he also lost his freedom. No matter how good a day like this is, it will be difficult. But no matter how hard it is, she won't say it.
Qiao Huiyun looked at her face carefully, and she seemed to be smiling, but the sorrow that appeared between her eyebrows and eyes couldn't deceive anyone.
Meng Xilan hugged Brother Yun, and when she saw him sleeping in her arms, she felt a long-lost peace in her heart. These days, those tiredness that is hidden in the body have been released in one go.
The feeling of relaxation after emptying is only for a short moment.
For Brother Yun, for the Meng family, and for himself, there are still too many things to do.
Early the next morning, Meng Xilan prepared to leave for the palace early. Who knows, before he got out of the house, the maid outside came to report that Chu Jingchuan was here.
Meng Xilan's hand tracing her eyebrows paused slightly.
How did he get here? At this time, it is the time of the emperor's early dynasty.
Chu Jingchuan's sudden visit surprised the Meng family.
The old lady couldn't come out because she wanted to worship the Buddha, so she asked the Feng family to entertain her.
Feng Shi saw Chu Jingchuan and his attitude was very enthusiastic.
He is the quasi-son-in-law of the Meng family, so naturally the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is.
Meng Xilan walked out of the inner room, and when she saw Chu Jingchuan sitting there with her eyebrows down, she couldn't help but call: "Brother Jingchuan." ”
After Chu Jingchuan heard her voice, he hurriedly stood up, and when he saw her walking slowly, her complexion was still good, and she finally showed a little smile on her face.
"Lan'er." In front of Feng's family, he did not shy away from it, and directly called her nickname.
Meng Xilan walked up to his side and asked, "Why is Brother Jingchuan here?" ”
Chu Jingchuan looked at her, his gaze deepened: "I'll take you back to the palace." I haven't seen you lately, so I'm not worried. ”
So much has happened during this time, and I am waiting to see her every day, and this feeling is too painful.
Meng Xilan smiled faintly: "I'm worried about you." ”
She knew that he had been thinking about her, and there were so many rumors in the palace, it was inevitable that some rumors would reach his ears.
Chu Jingchuan's ink-like eyes were full of worry and eagerness, his eyes looked at her for a moment, seeing her standing in front of him, looking at his own smile, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and he always felt astringent in his heart.
He stretched out his hand, but took it back. There are still elders here at this time, and I can't be too presumptuous.
In a thousand words, Chu Jingchuan wrote everything he wanted to say on his face, and Meng Xilan naturally understood it.
He missed her and worried about her.
Meng Xilan smiled at him again, the smile was shallow, and the smile was warm.
Feng Shi was beside him, looking at the eyes of the two of them, with affection, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will be lovesick.
The carriage in the palace was waiting outside, and Chu Jingchuan didn't even finish a cup of tea, so he went out to wait for her.
Feng Shi asked him to sit more, but he refused, and walked out in a hurry.
Suddenly, the family members came out one after another to send each other, and everyone had different expressions, and there were too many emotions between their eyebrows.
Meng Xilan's face was still smiling.
Before getting into the car, Chu Jingchuan came to the carriage and stretched out his hand to her.
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned, and then stretched out her hand.
Chu Jingchuan's palm was warm and powerful, and he lifted her up.
It was almost noon, the sky was a little dark, and the streets were still full of people, shouting and selling one after another, and there was a little warmth and excitement in the trivial noise.
The liveliness of the palace is golden and luxurious, but the most important human touch is missing.
Chu Jingchuan rode in front, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was full of heroism, handsome, and with an official authority, which made people stop and watch.
Suddenly, the gray sky became more and more gloomy, and when I looked up, there were thunderclouds and lightning in front of me, hurriedly streaking.
Chu Jingchuan waved his hand to stop and decided to find a place to wait first, so as not to rain straight down and have nowhere to hide.
This is the most prosperous street in the capital, teahouses and restaurants, row upon row, full of eyes.
Chu Jingchuan chose an elegant teahouse, only to feel that this is a good place to talk. The tea house is expensive, so there are not many customers, and it is slightly deserted.
Meng Xilan followed Chu Jingchuan to the private room on the second floor, where the window was facing the street and could see the sky outside.
Chu Jingchuan knew what kind of tea she liked to drink, so she asked for two cups of Biluochun, snacks with tea, but she didn't ask for anything, only ordered a plate of sugar walnuts.
Meng Xilan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You remember everything." ”
There was no one present, only the two of them facing each other. There was a hint of tenderness in his voice, "I remember everything you like." ”
Meng Xilan's cheeks burned when she heard this, and she stopped talking.
The rain outside, sure enough, began to fall, and the rain was like a waterfall, and the windows creaked.
Eight minutes of hot spring water, slightly cooked, the best tea.
Meng Xilan opened the tea bowl, saw the tea leaves erected inside, and smiled slightly: "It seems that today is a good day." ”
Thunder was rolling outside, Chu Jingchuan watched Meng Xilan take two sips of tea, but he didn't move, the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he was silent, Meng Xilan turned her head and quietly looked at the thunderstorm outside, her eyes were empty, and her mind gradually sank.
She looked at the sky, Chu Jingchuan looked at her, and neither of them spoke anymore, as if they didn't want to break the silence of solitude.
