060 Red Leaf Acacia

When Bai Xijing's motorcade arrived at the capital of Ye, it was already autumn. When they entered the gate, they were full of red leaves on both sides of the road. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the red leaves trembled gently, like a layer of ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake, which was very beautiful.

Although the wound on Ye Lin's face had already healed, he didn't know why he sat with Bai Xijing in the carriage and didn't want to go out to ride a horse anymore. Xi'er, are the red leaves of Ye Guo still beautiful?

Bai Xijing, who slightly lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, was stunned for a moment, but did not look back, but whispered "um".

"But I feel that any scenery in front of Xi'er is dim." Ye Lin smiled slightly, and then got up and sat next to Bai Xijing, rubbing Xijing's hair very affectionately.

These days, Ye Lin always said these words carelessly. At the beginning, Bai Xijing had to give him two white eyes, and later he was too lazy to react, but he didn't expect Ye Lin to get more and more, and now he will even do some intimate actions. Bai Xijing turned his head slightly and avoided Ye Lin's hand without a trace: "Ye Lin, since you have arrived in Ye Guo, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to sit in the carriage like this."

Ye Lin smiled faintly when he heard the words, but did not answer immediately. It was not until Bai Xijing turned his head to see him because he had not heard his voice that he gently raised the corners of his lips and said, "Do you know why Ye Guo has so many red leaves?"

"Why?" When Bai Xijing heard Ye Lin say this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he didn't care about Ye Lin's inconven change of topics.

"That's because there is a touching legend in Ye Country. Are you interested in listening to it?" Ye Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face became clearer and clearer.

Bai Xijing was shaken by Ye Lin's smile and only felt as bright as the stars in the sky. He couldn't help sighing gently. Although he was extremely gentle and patient with her in the last life, he never showed such a smile in front of her. So... should she sigh about the tragedy of her last life? Or is it that Ye Lin, who is glad that this life may be different from the previous life?

"So you can also tell stories..." Bai Xijing didn't know what his expression was now, but there was a trace of coldness and sarcasm in his tone, which made Ye Lin a little confused for a moment what Bai Xijing's mood was.

"Sorry, tell me about that legend." As if aware of the embarrassing situation in the carriage, Bai Xijing coughed gently and quickly opened his mouth to break such a dull atmosphere, otherwise both of them would be uncomfortable.

Ye Lin no longer investigates why Bai Xijing's mood changed so quickly, but nodded and told in detail in a low and slow tone: "Before the land of Dazhao was unified, there were continuous disputes between various vassal states, and the suffering of wars and natural disasters made people miserable. Under such circumstances, one of the princes met a beautiful princess in the war, and they fell in love. But in such a troubled world, they can't stay together. For the sake of their people and the ambitions in their hearts, the princes finally decided to leave their beloved woman. Before leaving, the princess begged the princes to take her away with them. However, the princes were not willing to let their sweetheart endure such hardships and sufferings. After all, they did not agree to the princess's request.

Just a gentle kiss fell on the woman's forehead when she left, promising: 'I will come back to marry you, princess. I will come back when the autumn leaves are red.'

After the princes left, the princess waited for her petty day by day, but... she always couldn't wait for his exact news because of the war. At this time, a severe drought suddenly came, and all the trees in the city where the princess was located died. That year, there were no red leaves. The princess fell ill because of lovesickness and drought. She thought that she would never see her beloved again. This was fate and God's will.

but she never thought... When the princess was desperate to see the city where she lived for the last time, she suddenly found that the withered trees were covered with red leaves. The wind blew, and the red leaves swayed gently, just like the day they met. The princess was very surprised. When she looked carefully, she found that the red leaves were actually tied up.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hoofs on the road. The princess turned her head slightly and saw a man coming in a silver uniform. The sunset glow in the sky was as magnificent red as the red leaves full of trees, which made the man straight and resolute.

The man stopped in front of her, then neatly turned down and saluted. Then he stretched out a hand and said softly, 'My princess, according to the agreement. I'm here to marry you.'

It turned out that the red leaves were tied up by the princes for the princess. The princess was moved and responded to the prince's request for marriage. And that prince is the ancestor of the royal family of Ye. Ye people regard red leaves as a symbol of loyalty, lovesickness, beauty and agreement.
