No!" "Please don't, if the Queen knows about this, she will definitely expose us." Her mother-in-law is notoriously shrewd.
"You …" Xuanyuan Ye could only look at Ming Er gratefully. But, what could he possibly give her by blaming himself?
There was no way to share love, no way to give alms, and no way to force it. She wanted true love, not pity, and pity.
"Elder Cousin Ye doesn't need to say anything. It's getting late, we should go and pay respects to mother and her." Xiao Wen'er smiled slightly, she did not even see the wound, her gaze still fixated on Xuanyuan Ye's face.
"No, this wound of yours needs to be treated. If it gets inflamed, it'll be troublesome." Xuanyuan Ye thought for a while, then suddenly thought of a person. He put away Ming'er's hand, covered her with a blanket, and told her in all seriousness, "Don't go anywhere before I return."
"Is Elder Cousin Ye leaving again?" Ming'er held Xuanyuan Ye's hand tightly and looked at him pitifully.
Xuanyuan Ye gently opened Ming'er's hands and smiled: "Don't worry, I will be back soon. "Remember, don't go out."
"Yes!" Vaguely nodded heavily.
So, Xuanyuan Ye who had just returned, went out again. Outside, Mu Er's personal little girl, Xiao Qing, was already waiting. When she saw the Third Master coming over, she bowed.
"No one is allowed to enter until I return." Xuanyuan Ye threw down these words and quickly left.
Xiao Qing was puzzled, she was sent out of Master's courtyard very early last night. As a result, she did not know that Third Master did not have a bridal ceremony. However, as she watched the back of Third Master, her little face wrinkled.
He remembered that his wife had told him to accompany her master to pay respects to the empress and the emperor the next day. It was already getting late, why was Third Master out again?
Worried, she walked to the door and whispered, "Mistress, do you want to wash up?"
"Third Master is out, wait for Third Master to come back before washing up." Mu Er replied with a sweet expression.
Thinking about it, Elder Cousin Ye probably didn't know that the bride was him last night, which was why he didn't come back. Judging from his concern for her just now, she was sufficient. Looking at the bleeding wound, she felt that everything was worth it.
"Mistress, it's getting late. Madam said that we have to pay our respects to the empress and the emperor the next day. If we miss this time, the empress and the emperor won't be happy." Meng'er knew that the master had always been filial and obedient, always listening to the words of the mistress and the lord.
"Don't worry!" Elder Cousin Ye will be back soon. " Mu Er had never believed the words of the Elder Cousin Ye, she waited for his return with a sweet expression on her face.
Roughly an hour later, Xuanyuan Ye returned with an item to bandage Ming'er's wounds. Walking into the courtyard, he hid his things behind him. From afar, Xiao Qing came up and bowed.
"Hurry up and bring some hot water for the wangfei." Xuanyuan Ye instructed, seeing Xiao Qing bow and leave, he carefully returned to the house.
It turned out that he knew that Bai Yunfei knew medicine so he went to get some quick healing powder and even brought all the medicine to wash his wounds. Bai Yunfei also promised to not tell anyone about this, he would be back very soon.
After entering the room, Meng'er sat obediently on the bed. The expectant eyes watched him approach, the sweet smile like a flower in spring. Brilliant, beautiful, and pure.
"It hurts when the potion clears the wound, you have to endure it." Xuanyuan Ye warned her as he carefully tore apart her sleeves.
A long wound appeared in front of his eyes. It looked like it wasn't shallow, this girl's hand was quite heavy. His heart ached as it streaked across his face, and his frown deepened. As he gently fiddled with the wound, his hand twitched and his face contorted in pain.
"Don't worry Elder Cousin Ye, it doesn't hurt. With Elder Cousin Ye by his side, I don't feel any pain at all. " Mi Er forced out a smile, not wanting to make Elder Cousin Ye worry. She looked into his eyes affectionately.
They were no longer childish children. After growing up, they had truly changed quite a bit. She did not know if Elder Cousin Ye's heart had also changed.
"Why do you always do silly things in silence, like you did when you were little?" Xuanyuan Ye did not dare to continue looking at this pair of pure eyes. Uncle's rights were always first, just like mother's. But aunt is not the same, good people, hazy like aunt, like unearthly chrysanthemum.
Ever since she was young, she had always been bullied by the children around her. Every time, he would stand up like a hawk to protect the chick, protecting her from behind. Thus, in her eyes, she was always that tall.
"Yes!" Her face was red as she nodded. This kind of love was so tender for her. Her Elder Cousin Ye was still as elegant as she was in the past. Being able to marry him had already fulfilled a lifetime's worth of wish. She only had to wait patiently for the rest of the time.
Dong, dong, dong! Dong, dong, dong!
"Third Master, Master, Xiao Qing brought the hot water over." Outside the door, Xiao Qing stood with a pot of hot water, perking up his ears to listen to the conversation inside.
"Elder Cousin Ye, ah!" Mystic Two tensed up and pulled her hand back, but she accidentally bumped into the wound again.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Without panicking, Xuanyuan Ye grabbed Mei Er's hand and carefully washed the wound. Then, he sprinkled the medicinal powder on top of it and bandaged the wound. He stuffed the bloodstained clothes under the bed and covered them with the blanket. Then, he stood up and opened the door.
Seeing the door open, Xiao Qing couldn't wait to enter the house. Seeing that his mistress was still leaning on the bed, he didn't look too good. Putting down the basin, she wanted to walk over and help the mistress wash her face.
"Get out!" Xuanyuan Ye didn't even give her the chance to walk any closer.
"But Master …" His master had always been his servant. Xiao Qing looked at his master on the bed worriedly. The more he looked, the more he felt that his master's complexion was very poor.
"Get out!" Ming'er waved his hand and realized that Xiao Qing was frowning. He thought this girl was clever and must have seen through something.
"Yes sir!" Xiao Qing could only bow his back and walk out, closing the door and waiting obediently outside.
Xiao Qing went out of the door, and Night Walker slowly got off the bed. When he came to the front of the face wash, Xuanyuan Ye had already carefully wrung out the face wash handkerchief and passed it over.
With a blissful smile, she washed her face and slowly said: "Elder Cousin Ye, don't worry too much. Xiao Qing has served me for five or six years already, even if I knew, I wouldn't speak carelessly."
Xuanyuan Wentian pondered for a moment, then sternly said to Ming'er, "Ming'er, the Imperial Palace is like a vat of blood, there are all sorts of people. The less he spoke, the better. Even his sister-in-law would not speak the truth. Especially that big bro's concubine Lan Yuyan, it was best not to contact her.
"Meng'er, remember this, in the future, other than Elder Cousin Ye, Meng'er will not talk to anyone else too much." She knew that the Elder Cousin Ye would not lie to her.
"Let Xiao Qing help you wash, I'll take care of the dirty clothes." As Xuanyuan Ye said that, he realized that the smile on Mei Er's face expressed his happiness.
No! He should not have given her the illusion that she would one day be badly hurt when she found out she loved another woman. He didn't want to hurt this innocent little cousin of his.
After taking his dirty clothes, he turned around to look at Mei'er. It seemed that he had gained another book of scriptures that was difficult to read. With a look of helplessness, he opened the door and walked out.
When Xuanyuan Ye walked out of the door, the smile on his face stiffened. She could see that Elder Cousin Ye's gentleness was filled with helplessness. His heart had already been given to others.
"Master …" "Master …" Xiao Qing entered the door, saw the Third Master's figure disappearing, and anxiously welcomed him.
"Close the door." She clutched her chest as she said those words with a cold tone.
Xiao Qing closed the door and helped Master to sit down. He asked in concern: "Did Third Master bully you?"
"No …." "No!" Meng'er could not help but sniff. She blinked and tears began to flow down her cheeks.
"I even said no, you …" They're all crying. " Seeing her master's tears, Xiao Qing's eyes filled with tears. In her heart, besides her mistress, her master was the kindest person in the world. As the Eldest Miss of the Minister of Revenue, she never beat up or scolded any servants, nor did she play the temper of a lady. She was famous for being a good host in this house.
Xiao Wen Er wiped her tears, fished her sleeves up, and showed the wound to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing covered his mouth, almost shouting out loud. He looked at Master in shock, and asked worriedly: "How can Third Master treat you like this? Go! Let's find the empress and the emperor to reason with us. "
"NO!" It's not Elder Cousin Ye, it's me. "I can't help but think of the scene when I was playing with my cousin when I was young." Ming'er shook his head, recalling what the Elder Cousin Ye had said just now, he warned Xiao Qing seriously: "Xiao Qing, this is the palace, not the assistant minister's mansion. After leaving this courtyard, you should try your best not to talk as much as possible, and avoid interacting too much with the people from the other courtyards. "
"Xiao Qing will remember." Xiao Qing nodded, but he felt that it was strange, why did these words come out of the mouth of the naive master.
Right! It must be the Third Master. Did the Third Master say something to Master?
Woo woo … *
Good master, how can you accept such grievances?
"Don't blame Elder Cousin Ye, it's just that Elder Cousin Ye didn't know it was Ming'er, that's why he wasn't worried about Ming'er. "Remember, don't tell anyone about master's injury." Xiao Wen'er looked at Xiao Qing, afraid that she would tell her mother about it after leaving the palace.
Xiao Qing thought for a long time before nodding his head heavily.
"Where did you stay last night?" he asked with concern.
"Oh!" The ladies came by last night and let me live in the yard next door. They say that Third Master likes peace and quiet, but don't even bother attending to girls in this courtyard. " Of course Xiao Qing did not know that this was not only the Third Master's preference, the other Masters also had the same habit of doing so.
Ming'er smiled. So Elder Cousin Ye was the same as before. I wonder if he still likes to paint and write poetry as much as before?
"Mistress, are you still thinking about Third Master?" Xiao Qing whispered into his master's ear.
"You … Xiao Qing! " Meng'er's face reddened in embarrassment. Lowering her head, she whispered, "It's getting late. Hurry and wash me."
"Yes sir!" Xiao Qing moved quickly, carefully changing the clothes for his master first. He began to work on his hair, rouge and powder.
After a while, Xuanyuan Ye turned back. Seeing that the time was right, he pushed open the door and entered.
"The time has come. Let's go greet the father and the mother!" Seeing Xuanyuan Ye, Ming'er's face was immediately brimming with joy, as he got up and went forward to welcome him. While holding Xuanyuan Ye's hand intimately, the two of them walked out of Long Qi Hall intimately.
At the same time, the three of them arrived at the Azure Dragon Hall as if they had made an appointment beforehand.
At this time, the Emperor, Empress and Imperial Consort Mei were already waiting. Seeing the three couples appear lovingly in the hall from afar, the heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.
Xuanyuan Jie held onto Meng Ya'er, Xuanyuan Yu held onto Liang Xinyi, Xuanyuan Ye held onto Situ Xu'er, and Xuanyuan Qi, who was standing by the side, held onto little. The four brothers were all here except for Grand Princess Xuanyuan Xue. Today, the empress was standing beside Xuanyuan Xue.
Seeing that the children were already married, Xuanyuan Zhenhua was grinning from ear to ear. She was only missing her grandson, so she thought about how Xue'er had been married for a while and hadn't received any good news yet.
"This son pays respects to mother (mother)!"
"Greetings to father (mother)!"
After kowtowing three times in tacit understanding and offering his tea, he completed today's ceremony. Xuanyuan Zhenhua raised his hand, and everyone stood up.
