"Marquis Wei Yuan doesn't have to be polite, my duke came here today to discuss with the two of you, when the mission will leave, my duke should prepare in advance. Xiao Chen sat down, his eyes swept over the two of them, and he spoke lightly.

"Benhou has already consulted with the angels that three days will be an auspicious day, and if you miss it, you will have to wait until the next month to find a suitable day. Considering the urging of Emperor Yan's will, we chose three days later as the day to leave Beijing, I don't know what will happen to the public will of the country?"

"Three days later?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and said: "Is the time too hasty, the mission gifts have not yet been prepared, and the Hou Mansion needs to be arranged to marry Emperor Yan, and there must be no mistakes, everything can be in time?"

"The lord of the kingdom has agreed to leave Beijing in three days, and ordered the palace etiquette department to come forward to help the Hou Mansion prepare for the sending of relatives, although it was a little hasty, but it can be completed. ”

"That being the case, my father has no opinion. ”

Yan Mingyue never spoke, and her afterglow always paid attention to Xiao Chen's demeanor and demeanor, but she never noticed the slightest abnormality, and secretly said that this Qingyun Gong really had no intention of Mrs. Cheng, or the city government was too deep, and it could be hidden so cleverly, and it was not revealed. But no matter which possibility it was, since he could understand the current situation and make a wise choice, it was naturally the best, and he could also avoid a catastrophe.

Not to mention the importance of Mrs. Cheng to Emperor Yan, even if she is an ordinary concubine, she is also Emperor Yan's woman.

If you dare to have ill intentions towards the women of Yanhuang, there is only one way to die!

"This official and Guogong hit it off at first sight, and they were lamenting that they left too early, and they didn't want to be able to return to Dayan with Guogong. Along the way, I have to bother the Guogong to take care of it, and when I return to Jidu, this official will definitely be happy to invite the Guogong to play!"

All the way back to Dayan, the teacher has already reminded me that it may not be a smooth road. If Xiao Chen could neatly cut off some of the feelings between him and Mrs. Cheng, Yan Mingyue would naturally welcome such a strong cultivator along the way.

"The angel is polite, the prince of the country was ordered by the king to send Dayan, and there are many places that need to be taken care of by the angel. ”

The two looked at each other, and a faint smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

After some discussion about leaving Beijing in three days, Xiao Chen groaned slightly, and said, "Since my father has arrived at the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, he naturally wants to visit Mrs. Cheng, I don't know if I have any evasions?"

Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "The prince is both an envoy and a person to send relatives, and he is considered a family member of his wife, so he can naturally visit him." The official also had to go to the post station to prepare, so he didn't stay long. ”

All the way back to Dayan, Xiao Chen rarely had to get along with his wife, if he was really half-hearted, he couldn't prevent it. In this case, he simply let him go to see him, now that he is in the Hou Mansion, Wei Yuanhou will naturally pay attention to it secretly, and if there is really something abnormal, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible.

Marquis Wei Yuan sent Yan Mingyue away, and ordered someone to report to Mrs. Cheng first, and then personally led Xiao Chen to Chunnuan Pavilion.

"Chengcheng has now received the holy decree of Emperor Yan, and his identity has become the woman of Emperor Yan, and her status is respected. Even if the marquis meets, they must also carry out the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the world is changing rapidly, and the difference between a day is no longer the same, which really makes people sigh in their hearts. Wei Yuanhou spoke in a low voice, as if he was expressing his feelings, and as if he meant something.

Xiao Chen shook his head secretly, it seems that Wei Yuanhou also misunderstood the birthday banquet a few days ago, and took this opportunity to secretly mention something. Now he had to pretend that he didn't understand and nodded his head to deal with the past.

Wei Yuanhou saw that Xiao Chen's expression was calm and calm, and his heart was a little settled, so in the conversation, Chun Nuan Pavilion had arrived.

"Since the prince went to see his wife, Ben Hou waited for the prince here, and there were still some things to discuss with the prince. Wei Yuanhou smiled and arched his hand.

Xiao Chen nodded, although he didn't like his caution, he could understand it, and followed the maidservant towards the courtyard.

The woman was already waiting outside the flower hall, and when she saw Xiao Chen coming, she bowed and said, "The princess, please, Madame is already waiting for you in the hall." Between the voices, there is a little more awe and respect than before.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly to her, but without a pause at his feet, he stepped directly into the flower hall, and his eyes fell directly on the girl above.

After a day, we met again, but the weather was very different.

The weak and lonely girl at the birthday banquet is now dressed in gorgeous clothes, with high cloud hair and hairpins and beads, and less powder on her pretty face, covering the bloodless paleness, which makes her more and more beautiful and delicate.

Graceful and extravagant, as if she has the demeanor of a woman who is the lord of a country, compared with before, she is really like two people.

Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly, but he didn't think deeply, he arched his hand slightly, and said, "Chen Qingyungong, I've seen Madame." "Emperor Yan decreed that she should be canonized as a lady, although her status is not too high, but she is a royal woman after all, and her identity is naturally respected. As Xiao Chenguogong, there is no need to pay a big salute, but the etiquette should not be abolished.

Chengcheng thought that he was ready, but seeing him coming from the outside of the hall, Fang Xin couldn't help but beat violently, and a sour and bitter pain permeated from it, making her whole body stiffen slightly, and after a few breaths, she barely suppressed her mood fluctuations, and said lightly, "Qingyun Gong doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

"Mrs. Xie. Xiao Chen frowned slightly, although he didn't give too much favor, but he finally increased the fire dragon jade in front and the birthday banquet in the back, this Chengcheng Lady's attitude changed too quickly. The estrangement in this faint tone, how could he not have noticed it. It seems that she was canonized by Emperor Yan, Miss Chengcheng has something else to rely on, and her vision has improved a lot, and she no longer sees him as a prince of the country. Secretly shook his head, although he didn't understand the reason, but Xiao Chen didn't want to think too deeply, he didn't mean to ask for credit with kindness in return, so naturally he didn't have too much feeling at the moment, but his demeanor was a little more businesslike.

"After the agreement between the angel, the Marquis of Weiyuan and the prince, and the nod and approval of the lord, the date of the envoy's departure from Beijing is three days later, and the prince, as the envoy, will also send off his relatives and escort his wife all the way into Dayan. ”

"I already know about this, and along the way, I have to worry about the national government. ”

"Madame don't have to be polite, this is a matter for the ministers. ”

Xiao Chen's words fell, and after thinking about it, there was nothing to say about it, so he got up directly and arched his hand to speak, "If Madame has no other instructions, the minister still has an envoy who needs to be busy with things, so he will leave first." ”

Chengcheng felt a pain in his heart, his face became more and more pale, but he couldn't see it under the cover of the fine rouge blush, nodded and said, "Aunt Yun, send Guogong out." ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The woman's figure appeared at the entrance of the flower hall and spoke respectfully, "Master Hou, please." ”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, strode out of the flower hall, and followed the woman out of the Spring Warm Pavilion.

Wei Yuanhou had an unconcealed surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect Xiao Chen to retreat so quickly after entering, but he was completely relieved in his heart. It seems that Qingyun Gong also knows the seriousness of the matter, and has already restrained some thoughts in his heart.

In this way, nature is the best outcome.

The woman looked at the figures of Xiao Chen and Wei Yuanhou leaving, with a look of hesitation on her face, and finally sighed softly, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the flower hall.

Chengcheng still sat on the top, but the previous indifference and grace had all faded at this moment, and his lips were tightly pursed together, and a layer of paleness appeared.

"Madam, you are tired, I will help you back to your room to rest. ”

Chengcheng nodded and got up from his seat, but his feet suddenly became weak, and if it weren't for the woman's quick help, she would have fallen directly to the ground.

"Ma'am, are you alright? ”

Chengcheng's face was gloomy, he shook his head, and walked forward without saying a word.

The woman had no choice but to carry her carefully into the bedroom.

"Go down, all of you, no one is allowed to go even half a step near the bedroom without the summons of the lady. The woman waved her hand, sent all the maids away, and opened the prohibition in the bedroom, and then turned to look at the girl leaning on the bed, and a little regret flashed in her eyes.

Gently walked to the bed and said, "Miss, if you are bitter in your heart, cry out, no one will know here, you can't suppress all this suffering in your heart." ”

Chengcheng shook his head and said in a low voice, "Aunt Yun, I don't feel bitter, this is my own choice, and I have already thought about what the consequences will be." Although the voice tried hard to keep calm, the thought of his slightly furrowed brow and the indifference revealed between his demeanor still made her feel a pain in her heart, and her voice trembled slightly.

The woman stretched out her hand to caress the girl's hair, and her face was full of unbearable expression, "Miss, why do you have to bear this alone, tell Guogong what you want to say in your heart, even if you can't come together, you can let him know your heart, Miss." ”

"Aunt Yun, don't say it, I can't do this. Chengcheng raised his head and tried to smile on his face, "I watched him come today, and I almost couldn't help but throw myself into his arms, hug him, and tell him that I am willing to give up everything I have now and leave here with him forever." But I'm doing well, isn't I? He didn't see my disguise, and now he must think that I'm a selfish and snobbish woman, and he must not like me anymore, and even start to dislike me in his heart, and feel that he used to look away. That's fine, that's what I want. ”

She smiled hard, but her eyes became sparkling, and tears washed away the light makeup on her face, revealing a pale face without a trace of blood.

"Miss, if I don't go tell Guogong and tell him your heart, I think if Guogong really likes you, he will definitely be willing to take you away and fly away, and when the time comes, you will be an ordinary couple incognito, and no one will be able to find you. ”

"No! don't!" Chengcheng stretched out his hand to hug the woman's waist, "Aunt Yun, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my mother, and this time you must promise me that you must not tell him about this matter." I just want him to forget about me completely, and it will be enough to find a woman who really likes him. ”

"Now I am Emperor Yan's woman, my identity is noble and sensitive, if I really go with him, it will cause an uproar, and the entire Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will be implicated, although I have no feelings for them, but I can't watch them die in vain because of me. And I know that he is a person who has achieved great things, and the vast vast world is the battlefield where he fights bravely, not simply for a woman, who has to give up everything he has, and this life is destined to be spent in hiding and hunting. Even if I choose again, I'd rather he forget about me completely, so that no one will find a flaw, and I won't become a scourge that will bring disaster to him. ”

"Aunt Yun, you promise me. ”

The woman stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the girl's emaciated waist, tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded again and again, "Okay! I promise you, young lady, you can't be too excited, the imperial doctor said that you should have a good rest, and your emotions should not fluctuate too much." ”

"Aunt Yun, I want to cry, I'll cry this time, okay?"

"Miss, cry if you want to, cry out, it's much better than hiding it in your heart. ”

Chengcheng nodded slightly, hugging the only relative beside him, tears spilled and soaked his clothes... I don't know how long it has been, when the woman carefully put her on the bed, the girl has been haggard and sleeping, but a pair of jade hands subconsciously hold the fire dragon jade in her arms, and her body is slightly curled, it seems that only it can make her feel a trace of warmth.

The feelings of a girl's first love, but the taste is so sour and bitter.

Before the flowers bloomed, they withered.
