Chapter 33 Marriage
On the other side, Ling Xiao, Su Muyun and Hu Yimeng, pheasant and Xingyan walked towards Changle Palace. When they passed the royal garden, a sad sound of piano slowly came from behind the rockery with the graceful lyrics.
When she first heard the sound of the piano, Hu Yimeng only felt a little familiar. It seemed that she had heard this sad tune somewhere, but for a moment she couldn't remember where it was.
When Su Muyun heard the song, he was suddenly all over his body, with an unconcealed surprise on his face. His lips trembled slightly and he couldn't make a sound.
Brother? What's wrong with you?" Xingyan was the first to find that Su Muyun looked different, so she came to Su Muyun's side and asked softly.
"No...nothing..." Su Muyun lowered his eyes, restrained his expression on his face, and said faintly to Xingyan.
Xingyan heard Su Muyun say that she was fine, so she didn't think much and continued to follow the crowd towards the Changle Palace.
When he arrived at Changle Palace, all the maids and eunuchs in the palace were replaced. Hu Yimeng recognized that many of them were the people who served Beichen Yeli in Ganquan Palace three years ago.
"Ling Xiao, why did the eunuchs who served the emperor all transferred to Changle Palace?" Hu Yimeng asked Ling Xiao.
"After returning to the Empress, after Ganquan Palace went out of the water, the emperor did not order the repair of Ganquan Palace on the old site, but moved the bedroom to Changle Palace." Ling Xiao replied.
"So that's it..." Hu Yimeng nodded and whispered.
"Mother, do you want to take a bath?" A maid asked Hu Yimeng.
"Good." Hu Yimeng nodded. She really didn't wash well on the Mulan Xiangzhou these days. Now she has entered the palace again, and naturally she has to do a good job.
"Please come with me." The maids of honor led Hu Yimeng into the bedroom. The originally vacant side hall of the bedroom has now been transformed into a bath room by the people who left Beichen night. A huge bath has been dug in the room. The bath is surrounded by white jade, and the water is clear. The hot water slowly flows into the pool. The water in the bath room is misty, which is no different from the layout of the bath room of Ganquan Palace at the beginning. A few.
"Mother, I'm here to serve you." The maid was about to come forward to help Hu Yimeng take off her clothes. Hu Yimeng quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'll do it myself. You go outside and wait first." Although Zeng Gui is the Empress Hui of the four concubines, Hu Yimeng is not used to letting the maids serve her to bathe and change clothes. She has basically never used other people's hands.
"Yes." The maid of honor blessed Hu Yimeng, withdrew from the bath room, and closed the door tightly.
After the maid of honor left, Hu Yimeng took off her clothes. It was not as good as in the pool. The warm water washed her white and delicate skin. Hu Yimeng breathed a comfortable breath of relief. After washing for a while, Hu Yimeng gradually felt extremely tired all over her body. She leaned her back against the bath and slowly fell into a coma.
Hu Yimeng followed the maid to the bath room. The pheasant also asked the maids to prepare hot water for her, ready to take a shower and change clothes and have a good rest.
The maid smiled and nodded to the pheasant and led her to the maids' room.
"Xing...Xingyan girl..." Ling Xiao looked at Xingyan and stammered to Xingyan, "I have something to say to the girl. I don't know if the girl can talk to Ling Xiao..."
"Ah?" Xingyan blinked her big round eyes, nodded without thinking, smiled, and showed the small pear vortex at the corners of her mouth. "Okay, I don't know what General Ling is going to say to me?"
Looking at Xingyan's sweet smile, Ling Xiaojun blushed. He quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Please." Ling Xiao punched Xingyan, turned around and quickly walked out of the Changle Palace and walked into the garden.
Xingyan blinked and was a little puzzled, but she still followed Ling Xiao out of the hall and came to the garden of Changle Palace.
In the shadow of flowers and trees, Ling Xiao stared at the girl in front of him. Compared with three years ago, the girl had come out of a big girl. She retired from childishness and became more flexible and beautiful.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was just looking at him and not talking, Xing Yan stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ling Xiao. She tilted her head and looked at him and whispered, "General Ling? General Ling!"
Ling Xiao grabbed the little hand shaking in front of his eyes, and his eyes gradually became firm.
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in Xingyan's hand.
Yupei has been placed close to him. At this moment, it is warmly stained with his body temperature, and the slightly hot temperature burned her cheek and her heart along the palm of Xingyan's hand.
Xingyan lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant in her hand, but was suddenly stunned. She hurriedly took off the jade pendant that had been hanging around her neck. Why are the two jade pendants together?
Xingyan looked at the jade pendant in her heart in shock and looked up at the wrist holding her in front of her. Her eyes were burning, and her cheeks were stained with a blush. Her pink lips were slightly open, and she was surprised to speak.
"Seven years ago, I just turned 10 years old, and my father's good friend Meng Taifu's family was happy to have a daughter. My father once agreed with Master Meng to take this pair of jade pendants and make an appointment to marry his son and daughter. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Meng Taifu to anger the sky and caused the disaster of extermination. My father and my grandfather were far away from the border and failed to deal with them in time. It is said that they had a marriage contract with me. The woman was not spared, but I never thought that Fu, the daughter of Meng Taifu, was lucky enough to escape this disaster. Xingyan, I know you are the daughter of Meng Taifu who has a marriage contract with me. Ling Xiao stared at Xingyan, his eyes were burning, and he slowly said. Xingyan, now that the emperor knows your identity, when the time is ripe, the emperor will completely cut off the Wang's party from the court, so I will ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate Meng Taifu's case and return Meng Taifu's innocence. Do you think it's okay?"
"Is this...really...really able to return my father's innocence?" After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Xingyan grabbed Ling Xiao's sleeve with an excited expression and looked at him eagerly.
"I'm sure." Ling Xiao nodded affirmatively, slowed down her tone, and said softly to Xing Yan, "At that time, are you still willing to admit this marriage contract and marry me as Miss Meng?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's question, recalling the bits and pieces of the experience of the two together, Xingyan knew that although the man in front of him was usually not good at laughing and not good at words, he has always been a serious person. He is now proposing to her very solemnly. Should she promise him? Xingyan was extremely ashamed. For so many years, she had almost forgotten what her mother told her when she was a child that there would be a very good little brother to marry her when she grew up, but he had always remembered...
Thinking of this, Xingyan felt warm in her heart, and she nodded shyly to Ling Xiao.
Seeing Xingyan nodded, Ling Xiao was very happy. He held Xingyan's little hand tightly and pulled her into his arms. This moment was what he had been looking forward to.
