When she said this, she pouted slightly, with a coquettish look.

Ye Xiao's ears were slightly red, coughed lightly, and avoided his gaze and said, "The wedding date is approaching, and it is inconvenient for the minister to enter the palace." ”

According to custom, men and women who are about to get married should not meet before the marriage date, which is in line with etiquette, Ye Xiao is still a somewhat traditional person in his bones, so he also abides by this rule and has never exceeded it.

But Yun Leping didn't think so, she felt that these twists and turns of the rules were extremely boring, even if they met, could it be that the marriage could not be done again after meeting? There is no such thing.

She pursed her lips lightly unhappily, and complained a little: "If you don't let you meet, you really won't see me?" It's okay to hand me a message into the palace, there's no sound, and I'm not satisfied with our marriage. ”

This...... This is a no-brainer.

Ye Xiao thought about it day and night, hoping to marry the person in front of him into the house as a wife, how could he be dissatisfied with the marriage?

However, when these things are explained, it is really a little embarrassing for a thin-skinned person like Ye Xiao.

A thin layer of red appeared on his face, a little anxious, but a little slurred: "Minister...... The minister would never dare to have such thoughts. ”

Yun Leping didn't know about his temperament, he just deliberately said that to tease him, but now that he saw that the idiot was really hooked, he was reluctant to embarrass him, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't dare, if you treat me a little badly, my father and mother won't agree." ”

She walked into him gently, took the corner of the sleeve of his official uniform, raised her head and whispered: "Ye Xiao, we are about to get married, I am very happy, are you happy?" ”

Ye Xiao lowered her head and saw the girl's picturesque face, her apricot-like eyes completely reflected his figure, even if she was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, it was difficult to hide her beauty...... It's just that the identity of this girl is very noble, if it was changed a few years ago, it would be an unattainable object for him, even if he likes it in his heart, he doesn't dare to reveal anything about it, lest he be ridiculed.

But now it is different, they have been married by divine decree, and they will soon become a real husband and wife, and the first two decades of his life have no father or mother, like duckweed, and cannot find their roots, but after they are married, they will form a new family, and maybe soon they will have children, which is really a perfect scene.

Ye Xiao's eyes gradually softened, and although the sage books he had read told him that the relationship between men and women should be subtle and polite, he still responded to her words in a low voice: "Well, I am also very happy to be married to you." ”

Somehow, hearing his words, Leping, who was originally bold and lively, also blushed his earlobes slightly at the moment, and lowered his gaze a little embarrassedly under his warm gaze, but his fingertips were still gently hooking his sleeves, staring at the texture on it, and said in a low voice: "Ye Xiao, I like you very much." ”

This is the first time she has revealed her heart so bluntly, although the two are in love and know each other, but the layer of window paper has never been pierced, and now as a woman, she is willing to take the initiative to say it, which is already great courage.

Ye Xiao only felt that his heart was about to soften in her soft voice, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the hair on the side of her face, his voice was extremely hoarse: "Me too, Leping, I like you too." ”

His handsome face was no longer red, but his eyes were still clear, making it easy to drown in them.

Yun Leping only felt very pleasantly surprised, he thought that according to his temperament, he would not be able to respond to such an explicit confession, even if he was willing to hum softly, she was also happy, but he really didn't expect that he would be willing to follow her words and respond to her with such a positive tone.

She bent her eyes in joy, and the whole person looked very excited, and she took his arm and smiled sweetly.

Ye Xiao looked at her, and his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a light smile, and he wanted to reach out and stroke her slightly messy hair with sideburns behind her ears, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of reporting outside-

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

At this moment, the pair of little mandarin ducks nervously retracted their hands, and the two wanted to keep their distance, and they were not very comfortable separating each other's eyes.

The figure of the emperor and queen soon appeared in the hall, and when she saw her daughter, Qi Moxiao was not surprised at all, and deliberately asked her daughter with a straight face: "Leping, why are you here, still dressed like this?" ”

"I ......" Yun Leping stammered, biting the corner of his lip slightly, not knowing how to answer.

Ye Xiao on the side gave up his hand to take the blame for her: "It's the minister's fault, you shouldn't have let someone send a letter to invite the princess out of the palace." ”

Qi Moxiao was a little satisfied when he heard this, this kid was still worried, and he knew how to protect his future wife.

"Okay, don't hide it for her," Qi Moxiao said and looked at his daughter who was standing obediently with her head down, and said, "Leping, you can't wait to see him?" Can't even wait for the big wedding in a few days? ”

"Talent...... Isn't it......" Leping muttered softly, his slender white fingertips around the ring on his waist, and he spoke in a stiff tone.

Yun on the side saw it month by month, with a slight smile in his eyes, her daughter and Ye Xiao were so in love, it was something that she was happy to see as a mother, and she couldn't bear to pierce the thin face of this pair of little mandarin ducks at the moment, so she stepped forward and persuaded Qi Moxiao with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed about Leping anymore, in a few days, our Leping and Ye Xiao will be husband and wife, and it's okay to meet a few days earlier." ”

She is not a pedantic elder, she thinks that men and women need to avoid what to avoid when they meet before marriage, first, she understands the temperament of her daughter and Ye Xiao, these two people can talk at most, and they can't do anything out of courtesy: Second, this just proves that the two have a good relationship, which is something that they should be happy to be parents about.

Qi Moxiao could listen to his wife's persuasion, but he still lightly reprimanded on his face: "Leping, the girl's family must have the appearance of a girl's family, only this time, in the next few days, you are not allowed to run out of the palace so casually, you know?" ”

He looked serious when he said this, but in fact, there was not much blame in his tone, Yun Leping lowered his head and nodded his head in a pecking manner, very well-behaved.

So before Qi Moxiao left the palace, the slight annoyance of the abducted girl disappeared mostly.

The daughter can marry the person she likes, which is also what he, as a father, wants to see.

After this small episode, Yun Leping naturally couldn't stay in the Ye family any longer, after all, Yu Li didn't agree.

She left with the emperor, but before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at him several times, and when she finally walked out of the mansion, she said to him in a voice that was not too high: "Ye Xiao, I'm waiting for you to marry me." ”

The eyes were as bright as stars, which made Ye Xiao's heart hit hard, and he didn't care about the presence of the emperor and queen at the moment, and responded to her words in a low voice: "Okay." ”

Yun Leping smiled when she heard this, turned her head contentedly, and boarded the royal carriage with her parents.

Qi Moxiao and Yun looked at each other and smiled, they had never been so bold when they were young.

The time soon came for the wedding.

On the selected auspicious day, the palace is wrapped with festive red ribbons to celebrate the marriage of the emperor's daughter.

Yun Leping wore a gorgeous wedding dress embroidered with red and gold thread, and sat on the edge of the bedside of the dormitory, waiting for the man to come and pick him up.

But she waited and waited, she was excited and nervous, and then she was slightly anxious, but she didn't see the person.

Yun Leping couldn't help but raise his hand and lift the corner of the hijab slightly, and muttered and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, why hasn't Ye Xiao come yet, can't something have happened?" ”

Yun Zhuyue glanced at the drip on the table, although it was late, but there was still some time before the auspicious time, if he could arrive as soon as possible, it would not be in the way.

So she smiled and said, "Leping, quickly put down the hijab, how can a bride lift the hijab by herself?" Ye Xiao was probably on his way here, so he didn't need to be in such a hurry. ”

Yun Leping heard her say this, so he obediently withdrew his hand and put down the corner of the open hijab.

But after waiting for about half an hour, there was still no movement at all, not to mention the bride Yun Leping, even Yun Zhuyue, who was a mother, was not calm.

She beckoned to the eunuch nearby, and whispered to him to find out what was going on, if Ye Xiao didn't come again, the auspicious time for this worship hall would be wrong.

The little eunuch bowed down and retreated, but inquired about the situation for his master, and it didn't take long for him to run in in a hurry, sweating all over his forehead.

"! Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?" Yun Leping reacted faster than her mother, lifted her hijab and got up, and asked the eunuch, "Is something wrong with Ye Xiao?" Say it quickly! ”

The beads of sweat on the eunuch's forehead fell down heavily, and his voice trembled: "Princess, Ye Jumata...... He's gone! ”

"Gone?" This time it was Yun Zhuyue who asked, frowning and said, "Can you inquire clearly what's going on, how could a good person suddenly disappear?" ”

The eunuch was embarrassed: "This ...... This slave didn't know, His Majesty was furious, and sent a large number of guards to find the traces of the horse, and the slave was in a hurry to come back to report, so he didn't inquire in detail. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a flaming red figure ran past, followed by the voice of the queen mother: "Leping! Where are you going? ”

Yun Leping didn't care about answering her mother's words at the moment, her mind was full of worries about Ye Xiao, he was a gentleman in his bones, since he should come down to marry her that day, he would not regret it for no reason...... But now that the marriage is going on normally, the other person is gone, obviously in danger, maybe someone kidnapped him.

Yun Leping was really worried about his safety, and he was eager to find out.

Front hall.

Qi Moxiao couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw his daughter running over in a wedding dress, and immediately said solemnly: "Leping, don't go back quickly!" What does this look like. ”

Yun Leping refused to go back, and his voice was vaguely crying: "I'm not leaving, father, did Ye Xiao have an accident, did the people you sent out find him?" ”

Qi Moxiao sighed: "Not yet." Seeing that his daughter's face turned pale, he hurriedly comforted him and said, "Leping, don't worry, Ye Xiao has never had a grudge with anyone, and he doesn't think anything big will happen, maybe someone just wants to tie him up and ask for some silver." ”
