Chapter 183 Won't Wait

It was dawn, and the sun rose high. Lv Xianger, who didn't have a good rest all night, got up lazily. But when she walked out of her room, she found that Chaoxia was standing with her back to her and bending over at the stone table in the courtyard. She didn't know what she was busy with.

"Sister Chaoxia, what are you doing? It's so cold outside. Why aren't you in the house?" Lv Xianger stretched out and walked to the morning glow.

Chaoxia had already heard the sound of Lv Xianger going out, and it was not surprising, so she said, "I followed my adoptive father to the extremely cold place in the north. I have seen that this is the most common gadget for children in a year. Last night, I don't know why I remembered this.

After Chaoxia finished speaking, Lu Xianger also came to her side. Chaoxia was holding a short knife and cutting a big piece of ice. At this time, the big ice has been cut into a vertical cube by Chaoxia, and she is digging from the top into it. Seeing this, Lv Xianger immediately remembered the ice lamp of her hometown in her previous life.

Lv Xianger, who was a little surprised, pointed to the ice and asked hesitantly, "Sister Chaoxia, aren't you going to hollow out the inside and put candles to make an 'ice lamp'?"

"Well, it's an ice lamp." As soon as Chaoxia nodded, but something came to her mind. She quickly turned her head and said strangely, "Xiang'er, aren't you growing in the south? Do you still know the ice lamp?"

"Oh, I, I've heard, I've heard." Lv Xianger smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I've heard of it. I've never seen it. I really want to see what a good candle is like."

"Then you have to wait. I'm going to make more ice lamps like this, and then form a high icicle." Chaoxia said, and the speed in her hand was not slow. Just as her voice fell, the icicles were half hollowed out.

Lv Xianger opened her eyes wide and looked at Chaoxia in disbelief. Just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, she thought of the 'old story' she heard last night. She lowered her head and thought about it. Lv Xianger's tone was still a little stuffy and whispered, "Sister Chaoxia, are you in a bad mood and want to find something to do?"

Hearing Lv Xianger's words, Chaoxia's movements suddenly paused, but quickly continued what she was doing. Just as Lv Xianger was about to ask again, Chaoxia whispered, "I'm just an ordinary girl, and I don't want to get involved in these things. Therefore, I don't want to go out during this period, so I will stay at home with you until the day you get married.

Chaoxia's words were heard in Lv Xianger's ears, which made her sad for a while. But Lv Xianger didn't know what to say to relieve the morning glow. Instead, Chaoxia put down the knife in her hand, took Lv Xianger's hand, and whispered, "Okay, it's time to stand down again. Let's go to the room to warm up. It's time to eat later."

After saying that, without waiting for Lv Xianger to answer, she pulled her out of the yard. Lv Xianger looked at Chaoxia's back and only felt that the hand holding her was cold until it was cold to her heart, making her have all kinds of words turned into a sigh.

Lv Hong, who was sitting in the main room waiting for Lv Xianger and Chaoxia to have dinner, was also speechless when he learned of Chaoxia's decision. After a long time, he nodded gently and said, "Then I'll go to the winery later and let Uncle Mu Sheng do some time."

As he spoke, Xiaowu hurried into the house. Seeing that Chaoxia and Lv Xianger were there, Xiaowu hesitated and then said, "Son, there are guests. Do you want to have a look?"

Looking at Xiaowu, who performed differently than usual, Lv Hong and Lv Xianger's eyelids immediately jumped. Chaoxia's heart also suddenly moved. She lowered her head slightly and asked softly, "But is the Fourth Highness coming?"

"This..." Xiaowu looked at Lv Hong and didn't know whether he should answer Chaoxia's words. At this time, Lv Hong thought about it in his heart and said, "I didn't see Chaoxia's little lady ask you to talk."

"The prince and the two little ladies are visited by His Royal Highness." Xiaowu said yes and retreated to one side. It has been reported, and the rest can't be participated by his follower.

After Chaoxia was sure, she immediately got up and whispered, "You don't have to go out. I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Sister Chaoxia, my brother and I are waiting for you to come back for dinner." When Lv Xianger saw Chaoxia get up, she also stood up. Although she also wanted to accompany Chaoxia, Lu Xianger could only say so when she thought that this was between Chaoxia and Zhao Chengmin.

Chaoxia nodded slightly and asked Lv Xianger to put a cloak on her before walking out of the main room. Xiaowu also went out, but stood at the door from afar, looking at the door ready to listen to Chaoxia's call at any time. Lv Hong and Lv Xianger came to the window when the curtain on the door was put down.

The brother and sister watched Chaoxia walk to the gate through the cracks. Although it was not very clear, Lv Hong and Lv Xianger still saw an ordinary carriage parked outside the gate. Between the carriage and the gate, there stood a man whose whole body was wrapped in a cloak. If it hadn't always met Zhao Chengmin, Lv Hong and Lv Xianger really couldn't see that he was the fourth prince.

Looking at what Chaoxia seemed to be saying to Zhao Chengmin, Lv Hong suddenly thought of something and said, "Just before you and Chaoxia didn't get out of the yard, someone from the Duke's Mansion said that the mother and father would come later."

Hearing Lv Hong's words, Lv Xianger paused slightly and then said, "But does your mother know about Sister Chaoxia?"

"Maybe." Lv Hong was also a little uncertain. He hesitated before he continued, "Someone just said that because I was going to participate in the palace examination, and my mother wanted to come to see me with my father. However, with the ability of the old prince, it is impossible for my father not to know it at all.

"I hope my father didn't tell my mother. If A Niang knows about it, she will definitely be upset again. Every time Lv Xianger sees Lv Erniang, Lv Erniang will talk about Chaoxia and Lv Honglai. One of them is eighteen years old, and the other is almost eighteen years old, but they have not been betrothed, which makes Lv Erniang very worried.

Lv Hong also heard Lv Xianger's meaning. He thought of someone in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said proudly, "A Niang will definitely not nag about me this time."

"Brother, do you have someone you like in your heart?" Lv Xianger immediately recognized the hidden meaning in Lv Hong's words and turned her head to look at Lv Hong in surprise. Knowing that Lv Xianger has been in a bad mood these days, he didn't mind using this to make her happy, so he nodded gently.

Sure enough, Lv Xianger swept away the dullness just now, her face was full of joy, and even the corners of her eyes flew up. Approaching Lv Hong, Lv Xianger said curiously, "Brother, who is the little lady in your heart, but I know her?"

"Yes..." Lv Hong glanced at Lv Xianger, suppressed his long voice, and quickly said, "...I won't tell you."

"Brother--" Lv Xianger looked at Lv Hong an angry look, and then a pleading look appeared on her face. It can be seen that Lv Hong was unmoved, so he pouted and hummed, "Don't think that if you don't say it, I won't know."

When Lv Hong heard what Lv Xianger said, he was also interested and said with a smile, "Oh, I'd like to have a look. I won't say how you know."

"I can't guess this yet." Lv Xianger waved her little hand and didn't have to say it with disdain. She continued to hum, "My brother has never been to any other place in the capital except for gathering with Mr. Feng and Mr. Liao. I know very well where you have gone all day. I know the little women I met in these places.

"Oh, then Xiang'er will continue to guess and see if she can guess it." When Lv Hong heard Lv Xianger say this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he was sighing that his sister was really smart.

If Lv Xianger were a man, her future achievements would be much higher than Lv Hong. Compared with the brainless Zheng Fangfei, Lv Hong thought that Lv Xianger was his own sister. However, it's also good now. Lv Hong doesn't have the brother and sister of the Zheng family in his heart, and he can still take care of Lv Xianger, who is his own brother.

Lv Xianger glanced at Lv Hong and stretched out her hand to count all the little women Lv Hong met after the capital. Except for those who have met a few times, the rest are Huo Qingqing, Wen Yao, Princess Jingrou and He Ya. Finding the dodge in Lv Hong's eyes, Lv Xianger smiled and removed Princess Jingrou and He Ya.

"Now there are only Qingqing and Sister Yaoer left." Lv Xianger raised her eyebrows and smiled at Lv Hong, as if asking him if he wanted to continue.

Lv Hong began to feel a little unnatural, so he looked out. Lv Hong's face turned stiff and he said quickly, "Don't talk about it. The Fourth Highness has left, and Sister Chaoxia is back."

"Oh." After hearing this, Lv Xianger also put away her smile just now and walked to the door and waited for Chaoxia to enter the room. Lv Hong looked outside and walked to the backyard. He also wanted to know what Chaoxia said to Zhao Chengmin, but after all, Lv Hong was a man who couldn't stay and embarrassed Chaoxia, so he had to leave first.

After Chaoxia entered the house, Lv Xianger hurried forward to help, and then returned to the charcoal basin with Chaoxia and sat down. Looking at the numbness of Chaoxia, Lv Xianger moved her lips and wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to ask first. Thinking about waiting for Chaoxia to come to her senses, Lv Xianger poured a cup of hot water and put it in Chaoxia's hand.

Chaoxia held the cup in her hand. It was not until the heat in the cup slowly dissipated that she whispered, "He said that your majesty sent someone to follow him. It took a lot of effort to sneak over with the help of Chen Lin."

"What His Highness means is that no one knows he's coming." Lv Xianger nodded gently and thought about it secretly. She didn't know how much Zhao Chengmin knew about it.

Chaoxia did not move, and she didn't wait for Lv Xianger to say anything. She continued, "He said, let me wait for him for a year. If he still can't come to see me openly after a year, he will let me go and will never stop Li Wenhao from approaching me.

"One year?" Lv Xianger's heart moved and immediately asked, "Sister Chaoxia, what does he say he will do this year?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Chaoxia straightened up and looked up at the beam, but her hands were a little white because she was holding the cup too hard. After a pause, Chaoxia said slowly, "I told him that I was just an ordinary lady, and I couldn't wait for him. As long as I meet someone who treats me sincerely, I will get married..."
