Chapter 23 Add guilt and sigh goodbye
"Who is it?" Ling Xiao was shocked. How could there be a man's voice here? Huo Yurui would never be so reckless and break into the show girl's residence.
The door was pushed open. Ling Xiao wanted to shout, but he was afraid of beating the grass. In case the other party killed the killer, wouldn't she die before she went out? What's more, what's more important - she is a draft girl in Beijing, but now there is a strange man in the room! If she attracts others and is added a few words by someone with a heart, won't she die without a burial place? It also involves the mother at home!
Just as Ling Xiao was thinking about it, the door was already open, and the other party quickly closed the door after coming in. Ling Xiao was thinking about countermeasures. When he saw the man clearly, he stood aside and couldn't say a word.
"It's me." The man looked at Ling Xiao's eyes fixedly, as before, full of deep affection, but he could faintly see a touch of determination.
"You, why are you here?" Ling Xiao finally calmed down and asked gently, avoiding his eyes. At this moment, Li Ye makes her feel a little strange. She is still that person, but she always feels that there is something different from before.
"Are you really going to go to the capital and compete with countless women for the man you have never seen before?" The pity in Li Ye's eyes has turned into a bitter pain. "Even before entering the palace, even the sisters can calculate."
"Brother Li Ye, do you really believe it?" A layer of mist gradually floated in Ling Xiao's eyes. You know that I never wanted to go to the palace. I just couldn't.
"Naturally, I don't believe it." When Li Ye heard this familiar call, his body was stiff for a moment, and he almost smiled bitterly. Naturally, he doesn't believe it. He is saddened, but in the future, she may fall into that cloudy place and suffer a lot.
I still remember that the first time I saw her, she was obviously infinitely wronged, but she smiled so brightly. Her warm face made people feel better.
" Xiaoer." Li Ye approached her, opened his arms and hugged her gently, "Come with me. I know, you don't like it."
In the face of Li Ye's unusual and even offensive behavior, Ling Xiao did not resist. He just closed his eyes and said, "Brother Li Ye, you have reached this point. Why do you have to?" He lowered his eyelids and tried to make himself look calm, but the trembling in his words had already betrayed her.
Naturally, she doesn't want to go to the palace and won't let herself be retained, but even so, she can't promise him. Even if she doesn't go to the palace, she doesn't have him in her heart.
No matter what her future will be, it has nothing to do with him. She never planned to put him into her life. Although it is cruel, it is also an unchangeable fact.
"I'm just here to ask you for the last time. Do you want to follow me?" These words seemed to come from the depths of Li Ye's chest. He didn't know what would happen to him if he was rejected again.
Or, he has already known the answer and has already figured out what to do. However, he will not be willing to ask again in person and listen to it again with his own ears.
Ling Xiao was silent. She knew that this was really the last time. As long as she shakes her head, he will never come back. Maybe we will never see each other again in this life. They will stand on both sides of the turbulent and watch the flowers bloom and fade on the other side, but they will never do it again.
Li Ye did not urge her. He wanted to wait for his beloved woman to think clearly and really make his inner decision.
Just a moment. The two seem to have been looking at each other for thousands of years. Obviously in front of him, his eyes seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"The decision I made will never be changed or regretted." Ling Xiao gently pushed him away and closed his eyes.
She didn't know when Li Ye left. After a long time, she dared to open her eyes. Looking at the empty room and the closed door, everything just now is like a dream of Nanke. I don't know if it's really an illusion.
Ling Xiao sat weakly to **. The words just now used up all her strength, and her whole body seemed to have been cramped out.
Li Ye's appearance only made her feel more guilty and a little more panic about the future. However, what else can she do except step by step?
"Miss, the dinner is ready. Should I send it to your room or go out to eat?" At this time, the green fog came back.
"Go out to eat, so as not to cause more trouble to others." Ling Xiao hid the sadness in his eyes and said lightly.
"Yes, miss." The green fog nodded.
"Miss, let's go out." Qingwu helped Ling Xiao up, helped her slightly tidy up her hair, and then walked out of the door.
Only the servants were there to eat, and the guards, including Huo Yurui, were guarding the door. Therefore, after entering the door, everyone took off the cover. Only then did Ling Xiao see the appearance of other beautiful women. Sure enough, they were all national colors. Except for a few people who take the meal back to the room to eat, but if you think about it, the appearance will not be bad.
"Outside, my sister saw that my sister's talk was extraordinary, and she raised her hands and threw her feet. She thought in private that this sister must be a great beauty. Now when I see it, it's not true. It's really shameful." A beautiful woman in purple next to him came forward and said to Ling Xiao.
"My sister is overreputed. I don't know if my sister is Miss He?" Ling Xiao replied with a smile.
"My sister's name is Yan Xurui, and my father is a magistrate of Mingyuan County."
"Sister Xurui, just call me Lingxiao."
"Ling Xiao?" Yan Xurui was slightly surprised and then smiled, "Sister, is this your nickname?"
"Our master is the magistrate of the Phoenix Mansion. The young lady's surname is Ling, and her single name is 'xiao'." Qingwu said on one side, and his tone was respectful and alienated.
Ling Xiao didn't think so. No wonder whose lady would take such a name.
A little pale appeared on Yan Xurui's face and said, "It turned out to be Sister Ling. My sister was rude just now."
"We are both draft girls. Why does my sister have to be so polite?" Ling Xiao held a hand and said, "Let's have a meal together, so as not to let the sisters wait for a long time."
"Yes."
The two came to the girls together. When Ling Xiao saw Lin Xuanyu sitting in the northeast corner, he said to Yan Xurui, "Let's sit at Sister Lin's place."
"It's so good."
When everyone saw the ceremony, Fang politely sat down.
The meal is not very rich, but it is fresh and refreshing. In addition, everyone has been hungry for a long time, and it is very fragrant.
On the basis, when a woman eats, she can't talk and laugh easily, but many people are far away from home for the first time. Older girls are better. Some young girls are inevitably excited and chat in a low voice while eating.
"Oh, my son is chatting happily now. At night, he should cry and miss his parents." Lin Xuanyu not only sighed when he saw some beautiful women who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Yes, it's only been a day since I left home. My heart is already a little sour." Yan Xurui choked as she spoke.
"Oh, Sister Yan, this is your wrong. It's our blessing to be able to enter Beijing. That's the glory we have cultivated for several lifetimes. It's time to be happy. How can we be sad?" Luo Zhang heard it and said aside.
Ling Xiao glanced at Lin Xuanyu and saw her smile faintly, and there was nothing unusual in her eyes. Even if others can't let go of their relatives, it is more happy to enter the imperial city. And she is probably the only one among all people who is not proud of it.
"Sister Luo, little sister Yang Min, my father is the county magistrate of Fengtai County. At home, I often mention that the lord of Luo Zhi County is honest, fair and strict. He also praises that Sister Luo is beautiful and has never been able to see her. I didn't expect to have the honor to see my sister Yuyan today. In fact, I am really lucky in my life." At this time, a woman opposite the table smiled and said to Luoshang.
The woman's appearance is very petite. Ling Xiao guessed that she was only about fourteen years old. At a young age, she was already good at shooting horses. However, it's really no wonder that the girls from the official eunuchs are haunted every day. Who can't say a few words? What's more, she is just for her father to have a good future. After all, she is on the ground.
Probably a little embarrassed by everyone. Yang Min's cheeks floated a faint blush. With Hibiscus's face, she is quite beautiful and cute. Even if she doesn't have a beautiful appearance, because of this cuteness, she can make people look at it a few more. Although she is only the daughter of the county magistrate, it is unknown that she may be looked up by the emperor when she enters Beijing in the next day.
Hearing her words, Luo Shang was obviously very useful, but she heard that she was the daughter of a sesame official under her father, and there was a little contempt in her words. It turned out to be Sister Yang. I didn't expect that a small county magistrate family could raise a figure like my sister.
Yang Min was a little embarrassed, but she still agreed with a smile, "My sister is overreputed. What kind of character is my sister? It's just an ugly in front of your sisters."
Ling Xiao just listened to what others said and didn't talk about it. He just faintly heard Lin Xuanyu around him whispering with great disdain. No wonder she looks down on Luo Shang. Even if the county magistrate's official position is low, she knows that the county is not a big official on the stage. Luo Shang is so frivolous.
"Sister, let's have dinner." Ling Xiao picked up the dish in front of the chopsticks and put it in Lin Xuanyu's bowl. "This is a rural dish in Phoenix, called 'Zhu Bowl'. It tastes very strange. Most people don't like it, but people who like it like it very much. In recent years, because there are not many people eating it, it has been rarely seen. I didn't expect it to be here. My sister hasn't been to Phoenix for a long time. I'm sure she hasn't tasted it yet. I'll try it. I don't like it or not.
"Zhu bowl? The name is very interesting. Lin Xuanyu took a closer look at the dishes in the bowl and said that they were vegetables. In fact, they were more like a few flowers, which were poured diagonally into the bowl. The red flowers and white rice actually had a little artistic conception of stepping on the snow and looking for plums.
"The whole body of the vermilion bowl is vermilion, and it looks like a dish, hence the name." Ling Xiao explained on the side.
"Yes, Sister Lin, try it quickly. Maybe she is overjoyed. My mother loves it very much." Luo Sheng squeezed his lips and smiled and said.
"In this way, you can't brush the beauty of your sisters, and wait for me to taste it." Lin Xuanyu picked up a "Zhu bowl" and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and gradually frowned.
