Willing to be a mandarin duck and not envious of immortals (2)
"The emperor has arrived!"
Not long after Tailor Wang left, the freshly brewed tea on the table was cooled, and the little eunuch with a high sense of presence beside the emperor used his unique sharp voice to penetrate the courtyard wall of the General's Mansion and reach the ears of Mrs. Wen. Hearing this, Mrs. Wen sighed in her heart: I didn't say that the emperor was coming before!
Seeing that Mrs. Wen was still standing in place, General Wen quickly pulled her sleeve and said, "Madam, don't be stunned first, let's get out quickly." ”
Only then did Mrs. Wen come to her senses and hurriedly walked out after General Wen.
As soon as he went out, a gorgeous carriage slowly stopped in front of the two of them, and the person who was driving, Mrs. Wen knew, was Qin Han who came to announce the decree some time ago.
Qin Han tightened the horse and shouted into the carriage: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, it's here." ”
"Hmm."
After hearing the response inside, Qin Han jumped down from the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and carefully played the role of a handrail on the side.
"Long live the emperor, thousand years old the queen." Only then did they catch a glimpse of the corners of Xia Yuanming's yellow dragon robe, and the two wanted to salute.
Seeing this, Xia Yuan hurriedly stepped out of the carriage and held the bodies of the two of them, "General, Madame doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Yuan saw that the two of them had already stood firm, so he returned to the carriage, and only then did he help Wen Mu down from inside.
"Dad, mother." Wen Lan changed out of the cumbersome queen's costume and replaced it with a white robe trimmed with lotus pink, which looked particularly dignified and generous.
"Today was supposed to let Ah Lan go back to the general's mansion by himself, but I really couldn't rest assured that Ah Lan came along, hoping that the general and his wife would not blame." Xia Yuan snatched Wen Muan's words to explain, "In fact, just yesterday, when the Imperial Doctor was taking Ah Lan's pulse, he told me that Ah Lan was pregnant with my dragon seed, so I came with me, for fear that she would bump into it." ”
"Hey, this is really a great event, the cook just boiled chicken soup, but let's make up for it." Mrs. Wen's mood instantly rose a lot, Ah Lan is really a face for Mrs. Wen!
"Please forget your identity as the emperor tonight, just be Ah Lan's husband, and go back to your parents' house with Ah Lan, even if you say that I am not, I will not blame you."
"I'm afraid that's not quite right, right?"
"What's wrong with that? Here, I am the rule. ”
"Yes...... General Wen stood sideways, made a way, and welcomed Xia Yuan and Wen Mu in.
The mandarin duck squatted in the cubicle behind the bookshelf, which was empty, except for the oil lamp on the ground that still accompanied her. It's not that she didn't hear the little eunuch's sentence "The emperor has arrived", and she also wanted to go out to see Xia Yuan with joy, but she hesitated when she just stepped out of the study. She deeply remembered that in the early morning, Mrs. Wen also told her that Wen Lan would return to the General's Mansion tonight, so it was not surprising that Xia Yuan came to the General's Mansion.
In this way, the hope that was finally ignited was extinguished again. She flinched, and instead of watching the two of them love each other in front of her, she would simply not see them.
For the first time, she felt that she was really bad, a complete coward.
"Ah Duck! It's time to eat! ”
Mandarin Duck heard Mrs. Wen's voice ringing outside the study. She didn't say anything, she just let herself shrink a little tighter, she was afraid, obviously for the past few years, she had been longing to see him again, but when the day really came, she retreated.
There was another her standing beside him.
"Where did this kid go?" The door to the study was opened, and then quickly shut, and the footsteps did not reach the study, and it was evident that the visitor had just looked at the door of the study, and when he saw that it was empty, he left.
Outside the study, it was quiet again.
The mandarin duck buried his face in his knees, this is not your character......
The sky outside had darkened, and the streets of the Imperial City resounded with a succession of firecrackers, which spread far into the general's mansion.
"Ah Yang, this child, I don't know where to go, I can't find her anywhere in the study or bedroom." Mrs. Wen's expression was very depressed, it was rare that Xiao Yuan, who she had been thinking about, came to the house, but she herself disappeared, "I'm sorry, Ah Lan, it's rare for you to come back once, but you can't see your sister." ”
"It's okay mother, maybe my sister happens to be busy with something important?" Wen shook his head with a smile and comforted Mrs. Wen softly.
"What important thing can she do, in addition to reading books in the study every day, she practices calligraphy in the study, and she doesn't know what a girl should do every day." Mrs. Wen sat down next to General Wen and began to complain about the mandarin duck.
"Maybe a friend of hers from the past came looking for her?"
"Where did she come from, what kind of friend......"
Xia Yuan reached under the table, grabbed Wen Muan's hand, and shook it hard, Wen Mu looked up at him in confusion.
He winked at Wen and motioned for her to stop talking.
"I think Ah Yang should be hiding somewhere, unwilling to come out to see me, all this is because of me, I didn't explain it to her properly, causing her to misunderstand something, this is my problem, I will solve it, madam, don't worry too much about it."
"Since you have said so, then you can only do this first, eat first, if the food is cold, it will not taste good."
Since Xia Yuan left Taiwei, it has not been like this for a long time, a large family sits around to eat, this feeling makes Xia Yuan miss it very much.
In the palace, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, he is always alone. In a high position, but alone. This kind of day lasted until Wen Mu entered the palace, and the days gradually became vivid, even so, I still miss the simple but fulfilling days in the past in the Taimicrocosm.
Tonight was supposed to be a reunion night, but the only thing missing was the mandarin duck, and there was obviously only one person missing at the table, but this cold feeling was not a little bit or two.
Everyone has different things on their minds, but most of them are about mandarin ducks.
Xia Yuan was a little absent-mindedly pulling the dishes in the bowl, he knew very well in his heart that although he swore to Mrs. Wen that he would solve this matter, but how to solve it, what to say after seeing her, he didn't have a bottom in his heart. If it weren't for this reason, Xia Yuan would not have delayed this matter for so long, and it also made the mandarin duck hold the illusion for so long.
As early as the time when he inherited his memory, Xia Yuan already had the idea of explaining this matter clearly to Mandarin Duck, but too much happened later, and more things were inserted in front of this matter, so that he never had time to think about this matter, he also had a fluke mentality, will it be so long since Mandarin Duck has let go of this matter and married a good man.
But now it seems that she has indeed delayed her for a long time, and she still feels a little guilty in her heart.
Wen Mu looked at Xia Yuan's somewhat distracted side face, and roughly guessed what he was worried about, so he quietly leaned over and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, everything will be solved, besides, I'm still here." ”
