Du Mingxin lowered his head, his face slightly red.

Chen Yuantai took a sip of tea and instructed Chen Xi: "Go and send Miss Du back." I'll go back to the palace. ”

Chen Xi agreed, and Du Mingxin saluted Chen Yuantai and said goodbye.

The two went downstairs one after the other, and Du Mingxin smiled: "I still have to go to the jewelry shop, I don't know if the prince is willing to accompany me?" ”

The evening sun was golden with a little red, dyeing Du Mingxin's fair skin with a layer of red, and his long and fine eyelashes shone with a little golden light.

Chen Xi secretly shook her hand and said with a smile: "I am very happy." ”

Du Mingxin blushed, shook off his hand, and walked forward, but she really ran into a jewelry shop.

Du Mingxin and Du Mingjing have no contact, but they didn't know each other until they arrived in the capital a few years ago. Coupled with Du Mingjing's words about Peng Kang a few days ago, Du Mingjing's heart was touched, and she didn't plan to spend much thought on Du Mingjing's makeup.

Chen Xi saw that Du Mingxin's eyes repeatedly swept over the string of pearl bracelets on the cabinet, so he called the store to take a closer look. On the top are eighteen smooth and round southern pearls, each with a smaller coral bead space, red and white, each shiny and shining, very beautiful.

Soon, Du Mingxin picked a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies, and Chen Xi took it to pay for her, but Du Mingxin took it away.

"This is the makeup I want to add to Sister Jing'er, but you bought the things for her, does she have such a big face?"

Chen Xi scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Look at your stingy appearance!" ”

Du Mingxin glanced at the pearl bracelet he was holding in his hand, and pouted: "I am a woman from a small family, where can I be so generous as the prince?" You can't wear such an expensive thing, so you can just buy it for fun. ”

Chen Xi didn't answer her words, left an entourage to pay, and went out with Du Mingxin by himself, and slowly walked towards Yushu Hutong.

"Have you ever been engaged to Cheng Anhou?" Chen Xi asked.

"How do you know?" Du Ming said curiously.

Chen Xi said depressedly: "You and I are going to get married, shouldn't I know these things?" It was Lin Lang himself who said it in front of the emperor. ”

Du Mingxin looked at his face and said with a smile: "That family affair was set for me by my mother when I was a child. Later, his family stopped interacting with my family, and the family thought that this family business was over, why should I mention this to you, it is purely uncomfortable. ”

"Then you should ......also tell me," Chen Xi said in a sullen voice, "Otherwise, when Lin Lang said it in front of the palace, I could also put on an expression that I already knew, and I wouldn't have to be laughed at by Chen Ting!" ”

"You can pose that expression if you want!" Du Mingxin covered her heart and smiled, seeing that Chen Xi's face was a little darker, she hurriedly said, "I won't be in the future, what is the first thing to tell you, okay?" ”

Chen Xi tilted his head, with an expression of "this is about the same".

Du Mingxin smiled: "Why did Cheng Anhou suddenly mention this matter to the emperor? I thought their family was going to hide it to the end. ”

"I can't hide it, so it's better to tell the truth." Chen Xi said, "Even so, Lin Lang still ate at the princess's place for three days in a row. ”

"Then it's the fourth day?" Du Mingxin said with a smile.

Chen Xi sighed, this is not the point at all, okay? Lin Lang hid from the princess, so he closed the door for a few days. You hide it from me, I'm going to buy you some pearl bracelet!

"Reconciliation is reconciliation, who knows how Lin Lang will make amends to the princess behind his back."

The two of them talked and walked, but they didn't feel tired, and soon arrived at the mouth of Yushu Hutong.

Du Mingxin saw that Chen Xi still had an unhappy expression, so he pulled his sleeve and went around behind the ginkgo tree at the mouth of the alley.

The dappled shadows of the trees enveloped the two of them, like a quiet paradise in this noisy world.

"I never mentioned to you about the relationship with Cheng Anhou, because I don't think this matter is important, I know that this marriage will definitely not work out in the end, so I don't want to say it to make you upset."

Chen Xi let out a low "hmm", and his face looked better.

Du Mingxin pouted and said, "I explained to you and apologized, what else do you want!" ”

Chen Xi pointed to his cheek, lowered his head to her, and laughed softly: "If you incense me, I won't be angry!" ”

Du Mingxin was angry and laughing, stretched out his hand and twisted his face, and said angrily: "In broad daylight, you dare to flirt with women from good families, be careful of impeachment tomorrow!" ”

Chen Xi shouted: "It hurts! ”

"No pain, no memory!" Du Mingxin smiled and said with disgust.

Chen Xi took the pearl bracelet out and said angrily: "In vain, I still think about what you like, so I bought it for you......"

Du Mingxin saw that this bracelet was originally given to him, and the evil fire in his heart disappeared without a trace. She stretched out her white jade-like wrist and said with a smile: "You put it on for me with your own hands, and the two of us will be clear!" ”

Chen Xi held her hand, put the bracelet on for her, and was about to say something, but Du Mingxin smiled: "You go back early, I'll go home!" ”

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe, quickly dropped a kiss on Chen Xi's cheek, and ran home with her skirt.

Chen Xi felt that the place where she had kissed was hot, he walked around the ginkgo tree, looked at her distant back, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Just after the second day of February, the team of Shangshu Mansion to marry Du Mingjing entered Yushu Hutong lively.

Because Li Ling was still seriously ill, it was Li Ling's eldest brother who rode on a tall horse to marry the bride for his younger brother.

The moment the sedan chair was lifted in the air, Du Mingjing, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, shook slightly, and his feet were full of a sense of vanity. She walked four lines in the family, but she didn't expect that she would be the first girl in the Du family to marry.

Because this family affair was mainly for Li Lingchong's joy, only the closest relatives of the family came to the wedding banquet, and the five or six tables of guests who were sparse and lala were dispersed soon after visiting the hall.

Du Mingjing sat cross-legged on the wedding bed alone, and it was Li Ling's eldest brother who worshiped the hall and picked up the hijab, and she didn't even know what Li Ling's illness had become.

At the moment, Cousin Kang is also sick, but his illness is not because of her...... Du Mingjing thought of this, and tears rolled down.

She has liked Peng Kang since she was a child, and after she became sensible, she understood that she would never marry him. The red in the room in front of her seemed to remind her that the unattainable dream in her heart had finally become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of people and footsteps outside, Du Mingjing hurriedly wiped away her tears, sniffed a few times, and sat on the happy bed as if nothing happened.
