Chapter 20: The Ice and Snow Maiden
Just when Shangguan Rui was struggling with whether to channel everyone's "deep greetings" to Hua Lingyu's stool, he heard a sharp voice elongate the tone and said, "The emperor has arrived!" β
Luo Shuiyi covered his ears with a toothache and complained, "Why do all emperors like to put up such a battle?" I hate being late for social tryouts! β
The people in the garden knelt on the ground like dumplings, Luo Shuiyi hesitated slightly, and pulled the corner of Hua Lingyu and knelt down reluctantly.
Hua Lingyu said gently: "If you don't like it, don't kneel." β
Luo Shuiyi pouted and said, "I don't want to be the focus of attention tonight." β
In the corner, Hua Qianli pulled Shen Yifeng to squat on the ground with everyone, and he was extremely resentful: "Lao Tzu has never knelt in his life except for Xiao Fengfeng, who do you want to make Lao Tzu kneel?" Dream on! β
Shen Yifeng said suspiciously: "Why don't I remember that you knelt down to me?" β
Hua Qianli looked at him very seriously and said, "That's because my kneeling is not obvious, and you will know when I kneel obviously." β
Shen Yifeng said with a smile: "There are obvious and not obvious differences? β
Hua Qianli said: "Of course! The young lady said that the proposal is to hold the rose ring, and then kneel on the ground and affectionately say, 'Marry me', this is the normal procedure! Ah, by the way, it seems that Childe hasn't proposed to Miss yet, well, remember to remind Miss, the province was fooled by Childe! β
Hua Qianli nodded, agreeing with his own point of view.
Shen Yifeng looked at Hua Qianli's appearance and was speechless for a long time, and then he muttered, "You...... You're going to propose to me? β
Hua Qianli nodded and replied very affirmatively: "Of course!" You are the daughter-in-law I recognize, of course you have to marry home to rest assured. β
Shen Yifeng blushed and said, "But we are all men." β
Hua Qianli said arrogantly: "So what! I love you, and I'm going to marry you! β
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Shen Yifeng with some uncertainty and said, "Xiao Fengfeng, you don't care about other people's eyes, right?" β
Shen Yifeng nodded without hesitation.
Hua Qianli was happy: "Isn't that good?" When the time comes, shall we marry with the young lady and the son? β
Shen Yifeng was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why did you marry me, not me?" β
"Alas!" Hua Qianli said distressedly, "It's almost a little bit of a trick!" Alas! In the face of the little wind that is getting smarter and smarter, I really can't take it lightly! β
Shen Yifeng looked at him coldly and sneered: "Want to confuse the public and trick me into agreeing to marry you?" Hua Qianli, you are too naΓ―ve! β
Hua Qianli immediately leaned over and whispered, "Aren't I in a hurry?" Then I'll marry you, I don't mind! "As long as the top and bottom of the bed are in the right position!
Shen Yifeng saw through what he was thinking at a glance, and scolded with a red face and shame and annoyance: "Indecent!" β
Then he looked up, and suddenly found that everyone had already gone to their respective places, and only the two of them were still squatting here stupidly. Fortunately, they were right behind a cluster of brilliantly blooming spring flowers, saving them the embarrassment of being mistaken for a nervous disorder.
In the garden, there was a woman dressed in white, who couldn't see what she looked like, but she had a good temperament and looked a little dusty. Although after Liu Yinxue's incident, Shen Yifeng knew that the quality of the saint could not be judged by her appearance alone, but this woman's appearance was indeed outstanding.
She was followed by two old men who were also dressed in white robes, who seemed to be the elders of the clan.
I didn't expect this saint to be so bold, and she entered the Tianxing Kingdom Palace single-handedly with only two people, is it really that she boasts of extraordinary strength?
Luo Shuiyi looked at this holy woman called Bing Xue with a calm face, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
Thinking of Feng Qingxue and Liu Yinxue, she was very disgusted with women with the word "snow" in their names. And this ice and snow always gives her a feeling of yin owl, even if she is beautiful, she doesn't like her very much.
Since it was a reception banquet, Shangguan Xuan did not mention the matter of unraveling the curse, but just introduced each other, and politely said a few polite words such as "the saint has worked hard all the way", "there is no need to be restrained here", "be a good guest", and announced the start of the banquet.
For a while, it was staggered, so unhappy.
Luo Shuiyi leaned into Hua Lingyu's ear and asked softly, "Do you know where the master is now?" It seems that he has not been seen since he entered the palace. β
Hua Lingyu curled the corners of her lips slightly, lowered her eyes and smiled: "He is naturally in the most dangerous but safest place. β
Luo Shuiyi looked at him incomprehensibly, blinking his green eyes.
Hua Lingyu resisted the urge to kiss her, leaned into her ear and whispered, "He's in a place where it's easiest to do something to that person, now...... I'm afraid it's already done. β
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully in Shangguan Xuan's direction.
Luo Shuiyi followed his gaze for a while, and suddenly realized: "I understand!" No wonder it took so long! β
Now Chief Manager Lin, who is standing respectfully next to Shangguan Xuan, is not Shen Tianqing's disguise!
Manager Lin is one of the closest people around Shangguan Xuan, and if he pretends directly, it will be easy to be discovered, so Shen Tianqing spent nearly a month observing, slowly imitating step by step, and finally replacing him. The whole process seemed to go smoothly without being noticed at all.
Hua Lingyu groaned: "If it is not expected, Shangguan Xuan will not be able to go to the court tomorrow......"
Luo Shuiyi said: "The master is amazing! The words were full of admiration.
Hua Lingyu chuckled and rubbed her little head and said, "It's a pity that he didn't hear what you said, otherwise he would have forgotten his last name happily." β
"Well," Luo Shuiyi nodded, "he definitely will!" β
Just when no one was talking and laughing beside the two, a soft female voice sounded: "Bing Xue has heard the two names for a long time, I don't know if I have the honor to toast the two of you today?" β
Luo Shuiyi's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust, and when he looked at the ice and snow, he quickly put on a polite smile that was just right.
Hua Lingyu calmly looked at Bing Xue with an elegant posture holding a wine glass, picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp with an expressionless face, and then took Luo Shuiyi's cup and drank it in one gulp, then turned his head and continued to serve vegetables for Luo Shuiyi.
I didn't say a word about the ice and snow in this process.
Bing Xue stood there with her cup in her hand, a little embarrassed and overwhelmed for a moment.
Luo Shuiyi raised his head and chuckled: "I'm sorry, I drink lightly, usually one cup is poured, so he drank it for me, the holy woman doesn't mind, right?" β
"Ah, no, don't mind." Bing Xue hurriedly smiled and shook her head.
Luo Shuiyi said again: "He looks like this on weekdays, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't have many expressions, he doesn't mean to embarrass the saint, and he hopes that the saint will take care of it more." β
"Ah, it's okay," Bingxue said with a wave of her hand, "I'm just here to say hello out of courtesy, after all, we'll have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future." I think His Majesty the Emperor should have told you about this, right? β
Luo Shuiyi nodded and said, "I said." It's really troublesome leftovers, it's not easy to come all the way from the far north. β
Bing Xue drank the wine in the cup and said gently: "It's nothing, everyone just takes what they need, and the princess doesn't need to thank me." I'm going to toast to the rest of the princes and princesses, and the princesses and princesses use it slowly. β
Luo Shuiyi watched the ice and snow walk away, and sneered in his heart, thank you? Which ear did you hear me thank you?
Hua Lingyu raised her head to take a look, and then said in a deep voice: "This woman is not simple, we have to deal with it carefully." What I'm going to check should be able to be found out soon. I'd like to see what kind of medicine she's selling in her gourd! β
And as soon as Bing Xue turned around, the smile on his face became cold.
She liked her at first sight when she saw that man, that man was full of the spirit of a king, and he was a true dragon emperor. Only such a man is worthy of her ice and snow.
However, that woman is really not simple.
Just now she sat with her head up and talked to her, but it gave her a feeling of looking down, although she was smiling and her tone was very soft, but Bing Xue still felt a fierce aura under the gentle appearance.
It seems that he has met an opponent. The ice and snow curled the corners of her lips, and the more challenging she was, the more she wanted to fight. She's going to snatch that man out of her hands!
