Chapter Fifty-ninth: Once Green Plum Meets Again
In the early morning of this day, there was a mist within dozens of miles of the capital. After a few sporadic light rains, the feeling was a little more humid. A carriage came galloping from the end of the mountain fog, with horse teams surrounding it.
As the carriage approached, the rain and fog gradually became transparent, and the dozen or so subordinates were all wearing raincoats. During this period, a man's profile was vaguely revealed, and it was undoubtedly Xie Shisanlang.
"But it's almost there?" The hoarse voice could not tell the difference in age. Xie Shisan was seen reining in the horse, "We can enter the city in half an hour."
"So soon?"
Youyou's voice was smooth and silent, but fortunately the people in her carriage restrained their sentimentality in an instant: "Let's go!"
"Mrs. Gong, do you need to take a rest?"
She has been traveling day and night for such a long time, and the once charming and noble girl did not make the slightest sound of discomfort along the way. Now looking at the road ahead, she wants to prepare herself, at least with those long-lost relatives.
When we meet, we won't have nothing to talk about and our faces will be full of tiredness.
"It doesn't matter, let's go!" She knew what he was thinking, but this was not the time to pay attention to these external things.
"good."
Xie Shisan was most anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it at this time. He had been working as a cow and horse in Lizhou for a while before she came to accompany him in the capital. He couldn't share the anxiety and worry in his heart with others.
"Mrs. Gong, even if I don't pass your test, you should come back!"
He has always had doubts in his heart but has never asked them out. Now he is waiting to know the answer.
There was a chuckle inside, and there was a lot of joking in his words: "You were so curious, why didn't you give it a try?"
"..."
After hearing her reluctance to say anything, Xie Shisan finally suppressed his intention to ask, and rode his horse towards the capital. However, when a group of people passed by a small canyon, a group of horses came over and completely surrounded the carriage.
Got up.
Just when Xie Shisan was on alert, he heard a faint voice coming from inside. The voice was light and elegant: "No need to be nervous, let someone come over!"
Just when Xie Shisan was stunned, he saw the cavalry move out of the way, and a man in a moon-white Confucian uniform slowly approached. His eyes looked through the crowd and just stared at the carriage, without any twitching in his pupils.
.
"..."
Xie Shisan looked at the familiar figure and opened his lips a few times, but finally chose to retreat to one side. I am afraid that no one who accompanied the capital knew that the East Palace today has a special liking for moon-white gowns, except when worshiping ancestors.
I have never changed the color.
"You...you're back?"
I don't know whether it was the light rain caught in the summer wind that swept away his voice, or whether his words were not smooth, but the dignified prince of Zhou was actually a little arrogant at this time.
Compared with Prince Zhou's intermittent speech, Pei Jinniang seemed to be a little more at ease. Her soft voice was like an old friend reunited after not seeing him for many years: "It's okay, I'm well fed and well dressed, and I feel quite contented.
.”
"I……"
"The prince is here, but has something else to do?"
"Jin'er, I..." Before Prince Zhou could finish his words, he was stopped by Pei Jinniang and said softly: "If not, can you promise the woman something?"
Although he was hurt all over by the word 'civilian woman', Prince Zhou still managed to hold on to a smile and his voice became gentler: "Say."
"A commoner's wife has a foolish sister named Yu Niang. She is a petty and non-stop talker. I'm afraid she won't be able to climb up to the towering tree of the East Palace."
"Queen Pei wants to bring the East Palace and the Pei family together on a warship. Do you think you can persuade your aunt?"
The two of them were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Later, they broke off their friendship and never met each other. But today, they are at peace in this canyon. It must be said that time is the best medicine to repair the pain and let go of the grudges.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, the women will have their own ideas."
"I won't force it."
He had also heard about the recent illness of the Pei family's youngest daughter. He originally thought that the illness was really terminal and there was no cure, but now looking at the situation, why was there something wrong?
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.
"Thank you for your noble hand, Your Highness. The sun is already getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
She sent the letter signed Lizhou to her mother that day for today's game, and he did come into the game as she expected.
"Jin'er, can you let me see you?"
"The beauty dies young and the past is like dust, so why bother with persistence?"
She said lightly and closed her lips without saying a word, while Prince Zhou waited outside the carriage for a long time in the light rain. Seeing that the people inside had no intention of talking to him, his mood became more and more irritable, but he could not show it.
.
"Let it go."
After a while, the bean-like raindrops slid down bit by bit from his cheeks, and he yelled two words in a hoarse voice. Those two words seemed to have used up all his strength, and it felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.
It's useless.
When Pei Jinniang's carriage was passing by, the curtain hanging on the carriage window was suddenly blown by a gust of wind. Although he couldn't clearly see her true face from a quick glance, he could clearly see the eye-catching white hair.
Heartbroken love, white awns, black hair stained with snow, eventually become a tragedy.
A few very short words can summarize Pei Jinniang's short life, but when she left like a breeze, Prince Zhou froze on the spot, staring at her retreating back motionlessly, as if he was stunned, with words in his mouth.
He kept mumbling something.
At this time, in Pei Yuniang's courtyard, the old lady's cane hit her bed hard, and her whole body was so hard that she said: "Pei Yuniang, you bastard is pretending to be sick."
"I……"
Pei Yuniang did not expect that the matter of pretending to be ill would be revealed so quickly. The few people accompanying her were obviously her grandmother's people. Even if they were not her grandmother's people, they were definitely not of the loyal generation.
Most of all, he is the figure who is like a grassroots on the wall.
"Who gave you this stupid idea to hide it from the truth?"
She had made an agreement with her daughter in the palace a few days ago to settle the matter on a good day, but who would have thought that her granddaughter was suffering from a serious disease, and there was no cure, not even the imperial doctor in the palace.
He couldn't understand his condition clearly, and with such a body, the man on the throne would naturally not think about his son.
A good marriage took flight, and you can imagine how she felt at that time.
However, who would have thought that this audacious owner would pretend to be sick for her? Did she regard the owner of the house as a dead person?
"I will enter the palace immediately. You can get married even if you don't want to. How can you tolerate such unscrupulous nonsense?"
The old lady was about to step out of the door as she spoke, but Pei Yuniang did not continue to act like a dead person. She stood up from the bed and rolled down. She kowtowed to the old lady several times: "Grandma, you want your granddaughter."
