The queen was led away by him, with a brief blank in her mind.
This
So fast?
Going to beg her father for permission?
But she hasn't even had time to apologize
I thought he had been suffering for so many years. It must not be easy to dispel his anger——
She still has a lot to say when she's ready.
She compensated him today as if it wasn't for a long time
One month, one year, two years
As long as she wants!
Or maybe she can't go back to the past anyway. Even if he calmed down one day, they can only be strangers in the end - all she thought about!
But now
But now
She dropped her eyes and looked at the hand holding her wrist. Her eyes were red in an instant, and tears gushed out almost in an instant.
She could not remember how many years she had not shed such tears.
At this moment, looking at this hand, she is no longer uncertain. His mind and his firmness... Have never changed.
There is no need to say the rest, and there is no need to ask.
In this instant, her heart settled down, like a person who had walked alone for a long time in the rain and snow at night and thought she had no way home. After tossing and turning, she returned home. Finally, she was able to take off her cold clothes, bake in the stove, warm the soup with hot tea, live on a soft couch, and drive out the darkness with a bright lamp.
If it's not cold, it's not afraid anymore!
She pulled her hand up hard.
Xu Yun only felt that she was holding his palm with her soft fingers when she was about to break free and hold it tighter.
Xu Yun gave a slight meal at his feet, and his voice softened and softened: "... Why are your hands so cold? But you haven't recovered yet?"
Then he loosened her temporarily, lifted his hand, took off his cloak and wrapped it for her: "I'm so careless that I forgot about it."
Queen, no, Wu Jingying——
Wu Jingying looked up at him and shook his head. His voice was hoarse but with a smile: "well, it's all right. Qinghu, thank you."
It's not just this cloak.
She wanted to thank him too much.
"Thank you." Xu Yun raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her face. He said with some laughter, "what are you crying for?"
"I was thinking, why should I... Why should I make you wait all these years."
She was clearly so wrong that she disappeared from their agreement without saying a word——
If it were a man, I'm afraid he would be scolded so much that he couldn't lift his head.
Xu Yun shook her head and looked at her. Her voice was slightly hoarse, like the wine that had been sealed for many years: "when I was young, the wrong payment in the world was sparse and ordinary, and it's not worth mentioning. Ah Ying, there's nothing wrong with me. Even if I'm willing to wait and consume, it's my own choice, not forced by you, let alone... You've been much more bitter than me over the years."
No matter what his heart is, he just lies and sleeps. He doesn't have to worry about everything. He can follow his nature.
But she's different.
She was alone in the palace, like walking on thin ice, thinking and planning everywhere. She had to be dignified at all times, without Ruth's flaws, in order to deal with people and things.
And in terms of mood, she has to suffer a lot more than him.
He doesn't want to take care of what others think about it. He only knows that his Ah Ying feels distressed.
Whether his more than ten years is worth it or not does not need to be judged by others. He doesn't want to worry about loss or injustice anymore.
Of course——
"If you really feel sorry for me, it's easy." Xu Yun shook the hand again and said, "marry me as a wife. The past is written off."
After that, we only talked about the future, not the past.
Wu Jingying held back his tears and nodded to him, "OK."
She thought she was numb in the palace these years. What she saw was really a turbid world. She was immersed in it and seemed to have become such a person——
But he never seemed to change, pure, hot and stubborn.
She has been thinking lately, is it possible for them to come together again?
Now she has the answer.
Compared with the possibility, she just felt - why not?
What's wrong with people? It's hard to return. Years change their mind. Is it worth it or not? Is it worthy... Others are others, they are them! How to choose, how to live, do not have to follow any!
Clearly, we can still be together. We still need each other to redeem and complete. Why do we have to complete regret?
There are too many regrets in this world, and there is no lack of them.
What was before them was the wrong time——
Now, the time is right.
We should cherish our blessings. If we don't grasp the right time, we won't dare to find our blessings easily in the future.
"Let's go."
They clenched their fingers and walked forward.
"Qinghu, I'm afraid my father won't promise..."
Many years ago, a girl said the same thing in the moonlight, word for word.
At that time, the boy on his side replied like this——
"Don't be afraid. I'll beg the LORD until he agrees."
——At this moment, Xu Yun still said so.
They found the residence of King Dingnan together.
"... the Lord is not in the courtyard, so he was invited by the Duke of the town to go to the study to discuss business." the young man was surprised to see his aunt and Xu Yun coming with him.
"Good." Xu Yun said, "let's go to the outer study."
You can also make things clear in front of your father.
With a father, or can help him.
Should... Can you?
Although Xu Yun was a little uncertain, the marriage had to be nodded by the two elders, and he couldn't escape it.
According to the impression, they came to the outer book room smoothly.
Outside the study was Qin Wu.
Seeing that they came together, Qin Wusi didn't think anything was wrong - it's no surprise to find each father.
So, calmly knocked on the door and said, "the general, the Lord, the second Lord and the queen are coming."
After a moment of silence in the study, the voice of the Duke of Zhenguo came out: "call someone in!"
"Yes."
Qin Wu pushed the door open and turned aside.
When Xu Yun entered the study, they closed the door again.
As soon as Xu Yun went in, he picked up his clothes and knelt down to the two old men.
"Qinghu dared to ask his father and the Lord to promise me to marry Ah Ying!"
Simple and direct, without any cumbersome bedding.
The Duke of the town was excited and surprised when he heard that his eyes were shining - yes! It's a success!
But the surprise should not be exposed too much, otherwise he is worried that the old thing sitting next to him will deliberately sing against him!
With this precaution in mind, the Duke of the town frowned slightly and said, "this is not a child's play. Have you really thought it out?"
"It's not a joke, and my son's words are not a joke! Although I'm confused all day, I've never wavered in the bottom of my heart!"
Xu Yun knelt upright, his words were correct, and he was resolute and firm everywhere.
It's rare for the Duke of town to see the second son so pleasing to the eye - he's a bit of a fucking man at last!
But why is Wu Jun still silent?
Deaf?
Mute?
The Duke of the town took Yu Guang without trace and watched each other's reaction.
After waiting for a while, I finally waited until the old man opened his mouth——
"Ah Ying, isn't that what you mean?" the king of Dingnan looked at his daughter standing on Xu Yun's side. His tone was as calm as usual, so that people couldn't hear joy and anger at all.
"Go back to your father, exactly."
Wu Jingying also knelt down: "my daughter is unfilial and wants to have the courage to get her father's success."
Ask him to do it——
The last time ah Ying asked him to do it was to enter the palace.
These two demands are diametrically opposed.
But if it ever made him happier
This time.
But there are some things he has to say and ask.
"Ah Ying is still the queen today. How can the Wu family promise this marriage?"
The Duke of the town didn't like this: "why, do you want to send your daughter back?"
"Send it back or not, as long as the emperor is still the emperor, Ah Ying's position as queen cannot be changed -"
"It's not easy. When the emperor dies, there will be no queen!"
Dingnan Wang sneered, "do you know when he will die?"
"..." Wu Jingying silently glanced at his father.
I always feel that once my father talks to the Duke... The whole person's speech and behavior temperament has become "approachable".
"I really know." the Duke of town's eyes have a hint of carelessness: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that my family Zhaozhao made hands and feet in the pill taken by the emperor by the hand of a national teacher earlier. The emperor probably doesn't have much time to live..."
Dingnan king was slightly surprised.
"Is there such a thing?"
The Duke of the town took a sip of tea and said, "it's not a big deal."
Dingnan King laughed silently.
Put it here to show off to him?
What's the big deal——
Then he will not be his granddaughter-in-law?
"Father, it's true." Wu Jingying said, "Zhaozhao gave the pill to the national teacher by my hand before --"
But she didn't know it was poison at that time. She just thought it was something to replace lingchuzhi!
Now think about it, thanks to not knowing the truth at the beginning——
Otherwise, she was afraid that she could not perfectly hide her inner joy.
At this moment, Xu Yun was also very moved - Zhaozhao was really good. The second uncle really didn't hurt in vain... He wasn't bullied by you in vain!
Although he doesn't care about Ah Ying's identity, the two families always have concerns about the secular etiquette here.
The overall trend of the world is too big. No one can make a conclusion in a short time.
In contrast, you can look forward to the small goal of HunJun's early death.
"Ah Ying and I can wait. It doesn't matter how long we wait." Xu Yun said, "when we come here today, we're not in a hurry to get married. In the final analysis, Ah Ying and I just want to get the permission of the Lord and his father -"
Still that sentence, he doesn't care what others think.
However, the consent of his parents and elders is indispensable - especially Yu aying, the attitude of the Lord is very important.
"Father, now that my daughter has gone out of the palace, it can no longer be helpful to the family." Wu Jingying made a big gift and knocked his head down in a gentle but firm voice: "from now on, my daughter wants to live more freely, and I hope my father will allow it."
"Yes, how can you not!" the Duke of the town clapped his hands in front and said, "I promised this marriage!"
Xu Yun: "thank you, father!"
Although it's not surprising that my father will promise, there should be an atmosphere of gratitude.
"Choose a day, first choose a few days to prepare! I'll call Qin Wu to invite Mr. Yao!"
"I haven't promised yet!" the king of Dingnan couldn't bear to interrupt the Duke's oral plan.
If he married his daughter, how can he get the old man to decide the result?
However, when they looked at each other, he saw a sneer on the Duke's face, as if three words were written in his eyes - you wait!
ha-ha.
Whose family doesn't have a boy who wants to marry a daughter-in-law?
Who hasn't got a girl to marry yet!
"..." King Dingnan's face changed slightly, and he said "carelessly" in his heart.
After weighing for a moment, he said, "I didn't say no, but the matter remains to be discussed -"
Then he looked at Xu Yun: "come with me. I have a few words to ask you alone."
Here we are——
The test of the future father-in-law is coming!
Xu Yun stirred up the spirit, answered "yes", got up and went to the inner room with King Dingnan.
"Good boy, get up." facing his future daughter-in-law, the Duke of the town smiled lovingly: "don't be afraid, it's not a big deal. I'll decide for you!"
The old man surnamed Wu doesn't look at whose territory he is now.
This Linyuan city doesn't come in and out when anyone wants to!
It's really not good. Throw out the annoying old thing alone and detain the old thing's daughter and grandson in the city——
One is to rob, so are the two!
The abacus of the Duke of the town crackled wildly.
Wait——
The Duke of the town raised his ears.
Inside, why does it sound like he knelt down after coming up?!
Hate your son? Lost the face of the Xu family in front of the old thing Wu Jun?
Does not exist.
What face does it take to marry a daughter-in-law?
I wish I had done this more than ten years ago!
Wu Jingying got up and stood aside silently.
I always think the Duke's eavesdropping attitude is too undisguised
Dingnan king and Xu Yun did not talk for a long time.
But for more than a quarter of an hour, Xu Yun followed the Dingnan king and came out.
When the abacus was settled, the Duke and God of the town were idle and didn't ask.
"I was scheduled to leave for Ningyang in two days --" King Dingnan said, "before that, I'll give you an answer."
Listen to this, I have to think about it for another two days.
The Duke of the town nodded readily: "I'll wait for you for two days."
If he promised two days later, he would happily send the Wu family out of the city.
If you don't agree——
Old man, just wait for a man to go back to Ningyang.
Anyway, the Xu family is going to marry a daughter-in-law. Who cares if the old man who is half buried agrees or not?
"... what did my father ask you?" Wu Jingying asked Xu Yun quietly after leaving the outer study.
"The Lord asked three questions."
Xu Yun said, "when I ask if I have this request today, is it just because it is difficult to calm my mind?"
"Second, ask me if I can take good care of you like this."
He almost wanted to ask, what does he look like?
However, after thinking about it, out of self-knowledge, he did not insist on humiliating himself.
"The last question is, if the situation is not satisfactory and I have no choice, am I willing to hide my identity and name -"
Wu Jingying's eyes were astringent.
Although his father only asked these three questions, he made clear all the obstacles and disappointments she might encounter on the road.
"How do you answer?" she asked Xu Yun.
