31 The wind rises
"Guoguo."
The eleventh prince, who was already the crown prince, ran over from the front yard quickly, stood by the window and looked at Ding Guoguo, who was lying on the table and drowsy, and called softly.
"The people's daughter to the prince... As soon as Ding Guoguo raised his eyes and saw that it was him, he hurriedly got up and greeted him, and was about to bow down to him.
"Hurry up!" The prince hurriedly pulled her up, and said a little angrily, "I don't allow you to kneel on me." We are friends, how can friends kneel friends! ”
Ding Guoguo could only give up, looked at him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you have finally been recognized by the emperor." ”
The crown prince's face turned red, turned his face, and snorted, "My father is using me as an arrow target, what is there to congratulate." ”
Ding Guoguo's face stiffened with a smile, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
"I'm not scolding you, don't be angry." The prince thought she was angry, so he hurriedly took her hand and said hurriedly.
Ding Guoguo tugged at the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, and was about to speak, when he lowered his eyes, he suddenly saw a red furry object squatting at his feet. She opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Ah, isn't this the fox?" She reached out to touch it, but the little fox bared its teeth at her.
"You dare!" The prince kicked the little fox with his foot and shouted coldly.
The little fox immediately bowed his head and lay on the ground.
Ding Guoguo looked at the little fox amusedly, and then looked at him. What a thing!
"Do you have to marry Brother Seven?"
At this time, the two were already sitting in the box of Huixiang Building, drinking tea and waiting for the meal to come up.
Along the way, the prince bit his lip and looked out the carriage window, as if thinking about something.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the box and sat down, he asked out loud.
Nangong Li has already handed the excerpt to the emperor, and now I don't know about their relationship, I'm afraid there are few people. Ding Guoguo smiled slightly, "If you don't marry him, no one will marry me." Do you want to see me as an old girl? ”
Listening to her words, the prince looked down at the little fox sleeping on his lap, and reached out to touch it.
Ding Guoguo smiled and picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.
"I can marry you!"
"Poof... Ding Guoguo squirted out a mouthful of tea, she looked at him, her eyes widened and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"I mean, if no one marries you except Seventh Brother, I can marry you." The prince chased away the little fox on his lap, moved to her side, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from her chin.
Do you want to be a charity? It's like no one really wants a look at her! Ding Guoguo glanced at him, pulled the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his face indiscriminately.
"What are you talking nonsense, I don't want to marry my little brother!" She reached out to flick his forehead, but suddenly remembered that his current identity was not what it used to be, and hurriedly retracted her hand.
The prince grabbed the hand she wanted to withdraw, tapped her finger on his head, and said with a smile, "I'm fifteen years old, but I'm not a little brother anymore!" ”
"Yes, yes." Ding Guoguo responded perfunctorily, pinched his cheek with his hand, and said with a smile, "In my eyes, you are eighty years old, and you are also a little brother." ”
"Hmph." The prince frowned and snorted in protest.
Ding Guoguo smiled and gently rubbed his head.
"Didn't you open my New Year's gift to you?"
After a while, the dishes were ready, and the prince asked casually while feeding the fox.
Ding Guoguo's face flushed. When she got back that day, she fell asleep. After waking up and receiving a gift from Nangong Li, I was so excited that I forgot about it. After a few days, when she remembered, she searched again, but she couldn't find the red box. asked Nangong Li, and he said he didn't see it either. She searched and searched, but she couldn't find it, so she had to give up.
"That, uh." She avoided his eyes and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry I lost your gift." ”
"It's fine. If you lose it, you lose it, and it's not a big deal. The prince said with a smile.
Although he said this, she could clearly see the deep disappointment in his eyes.
Two and a half months after Ding Guoguo's letter was sent, Dongfang Huoyan arrived from the Wind Country in the starry night. In addition to the letter of divorce she had asked for, he also brought a rather generous dowry.
Ding Guoguo was moved, and felt more and more indebted to him. But apart from being nice to him, she had nothing to repay him.
The wedding day is set on the sixth day of the fifth month. Ding Guoguo originally wanted to push it back, but Nangong Li's attitude was extremely resolute and he didn't agree to delay it further. The sixth day of May was the deadline he gave her, and she could only nod her head and agree.
The breeze caresses, the willows flutter, and the weather just over summer is warm.
At this time, Ding Guoguo and Dongfang Huoyan were sitting in a bowl of tea-scented Sanbu medical box.
Dongfang Huoyan was unusually today, sitting quietly, looking out the window and looking at the scenery.
Ding Guoguo didn't bother him either, some knots in his heart needed to be untied by himself. She held her chin in one hand and looked out the window.
"Six people." Dongfang Huoyan suddenly threw out a sentence.
"Huh?"
"Nangong Li sent to spy on your dark stake." Dongfang Huoyan withdrew his eyes and looked at her with a smile on his lips.
Ding Guoguo frowned, six people, can you use so much?
"If you're bothered, I can help you out." Dongfang Huoyan frowned when he saw her, thinking that she didn't know that she was being secretly watched.
Ding Guoguo shook his head, "No." “
Dongfang Huoyan raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
Ding Guoguo leaned over to look at the sky, it was almost noon, she looked at him and asked, "What do you want to eat later?" “
Dongfang Huoyan leaned back in the chair, wrapped his hands around his chest, stretched his legs, and said lazily, "Casual." ”
Although he said casually, Ding Guoguo still took him to a restaurant she knew. She knows his picky personality very well, and if he doesn't have the right appetite, he is afraid that he will smash other people's restaurants. This kind of thing has not happened before.
"Why don't you wear red?"
Out of a bowl of tea, the two walked slowly side by side. Ding Guoguo glanced at the dark green clothes he was wearing and asked.
"People can't stay the same." His words mean something.
Ding Guoguo turned his face to look at him, his eyes were deep, and there was no shadow of the past frivolity. Has that arrogant boy finally grown up?
"By the way, what about your little apprentice?" Dongfang Huoyan suddenly turned his face, looked at her and asked.
Ding Guoguo sighed, "It's still in the Moon Country." “
"Huh?" Dongfang Huoyan motioned for her to continue.
Ding Guoguo had no choice but to tell how she and Ding Ning were separated, and how she knew that he was in the snow country, from beginning to end.
After listening to this, Dongfang Huoyan frowned and nodded.
After eating, she was sent back to Ding Ning's house, and Dongfang Huoyan left in a hurry, and Ding Guoguo didn't care.
After that, for two days, Dongfang Huoyan did not appear again, which is a bit abnormal. Although she should not have seen a man in her status to be married, Dongfang Huoyan has never been a person who abides by etiquette. With his personality, not as a last resort, he would not leave without informing her.
On the third day, Dongfang Huoyan still didn't appear, and Ding Guoguo couldn't sit still. She found the official post where he was staying, but was told that he had been missing for three days, and that even the twenty or so guards he had brought were missing.
Could it be that it is back to the country of the wind? Because you can't face her wedding? But since he personally sent the letter of resignation and hauled thousands of miles to bring the dowry, it is impossible for him to leave without a sound for this reason. She wanted to ask Nangong Li, but after thinking about it, more things are better than less, after all, her relationship with Dongfang is ambiguous.
