The first time Zeng Ci saw Ke Wangchen, it was as if he saw a star flying across the sky and falling straight into his heart.
He and Chen Siwen are both handsome men, but they have very different temperaments.
Chen Siwen is noble and transcendent, like the first frost on the branches and the snow on the mountains.
Ke Wangchen, on the other hand, was fierce and swaggering, like the sharp edge of a sword, the moon reflecting on the cold river.
When the four eyes met, it was just a flash of lightning.
Ke Wangchen stood up and saluted Zeng Ci. Zeng Ci returned the salute slightly and looked away.
Then Zeng Ci entered the inner room. She was two years younger than Zeng Nian, but she had taken more care of Zeng Nian in the past few years.
"Seventh brother is here, who is that outside?" Zeng Ci asked calmly.
"Is there someone outside?" The princess didn't know, because she was always inside, and Ke Wangchen came later.
"It's the young master of the Ke family." Chen Si asked, "He came with me today because he actually wanted to visit the prince. It's a pity."
"Look, I'm so rude." The princess said and stood up, "I have to go out and see you."
Zeng Ci naturally put her arms around her mother and came out with the princess.
When the princess saw Ke Wangchen, she couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome child!"
Ke Wangchen had already stood up and greeted the princess.
"Excuse me. You are a guest. We don't treat you well. It's really rude." The more the princess looked at Ke Wangchen, the more she liked it and asked him, "When did you enter Beijing? Where are your father and mother?"
"My junior and my mother came to Beijing at the end of March, and my father only arrived the day before yesterday." Ke Wangchen was polite, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Good boy, how long will your family stay in the capital this time? Your mother and I used to be together when we were young, but we haven't seen each other for many years. I will have to visit you someday. You must also come often and don't see anyone else." Princess Princess
He said with a smile.
"My mother also talks about you often, but she has been feeling unwell recently and can't go out." Ke Wangchen's expression turned gloomy involuntarily when he mentioned his mother's health.
The princess of the county couldn't help but sigh too. Although Ke Wangchen didn't say it, she also knew that Dai Mingzhi must have come back to Beijing to get married to his daughter.
Unexpectedly, her daughter disappeared mysteriously on her wedding day. How could she, as a mother, not be anxious?
"Good boy, thanks to you still staying with your mother, she can feel better with you comforting her. I will go to visit your mother tomorrow. I am a mother, and let her complain and talk about her grievances.
It makes me feel better," the princess said.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will definitely inform my mother when I return, so that she will be happy too." Ke Wangchen bowed and thanked her.
Here the princess was talking to Ke Wangchen, and Zeng Ci quietly retreated into the inner room to see her sister.
Zeng Nian's hands and feet were covered with silver needles, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Zeng Ci stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her sister's forehead, and said softly to her: "The hairpin on my sister's head is a little crooked. Let me reinsert it for you."
Zeng Nian smiled and nodded, saying yes. Even though Zeng Ci hurt her when pulling out the hairpin, she didn't show it at all.
After Chen Siwen finished treating Zeng Nian, packed his things and went out, Ke Wangchen also stood up and said goodbye to the princess.
"It's really hard on you," the princess thanked Chen Si. "I asked them to prepare some supplements for you. Please take care of yourself."
Then he said to Ke Wangchen: "I have also prepared a copy for your mother. You can take it back and tell me that I will go there in person another day."
Ke Wangchen did not refuse very much and thanked the princess.
"This child of the Ke family really looks like his mother." After Chen Siwen and Ke Wangchen left, the princess couldn't help but said, "His mother was a famous beauty in the capital back then. It's a pity that women with outstanding looks often have bad luck. He
The mother is like this, and so is the child Yunchu."
Although Cen Yunchu has not been found so far, everyone knows that she must be innocent.
"Is it true that Sister Yunchu can't come back?" Zeng Ci asked.
"What if she returns to the capital?
Although the Chen family has not spoken up until now, it won't be long before the Cen family takes the initiative to cancel the engagement." The princess shook her head and said, "This marriage is destined to fail, so it's better for both of us to save some dignity."
"Oh, what a good marriage." Zeng Nian sighed sadly. Chen Siwen and Cen Yunchu were both good people and very suitable for each other.
"Brother Chen Qi is so pitiful, otherwise he should ask his sister to marry him!" Zeng Ci was innocent and innocent.
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl?!" Zeng Nian immediately told her to shut up, "Don't let others listen to these words, otherwise they will think what happened to our family!"
Zeng Ci smiled and stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
After another two days, the rain finally stopped.
Zeng Ci pushed Zeng Nian for a walk in the garden. Zeng Nian's legs were covered with a thin quilt. She couldn't move her legs and had no feeling, so she had to keep them warm.
"Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? I see that you are always beating your legs today." Zeng Ci asked with concern.
"My legs have been feeling a little sore these past few days, which I didn't have in previous years," Zeng Nian said.
"This is a good thing. You have had no feeling in your legs for so many years, and now you are starting to feel it." Zeng Ci was very happy to hear this, "I think it is going to get better."
"Don't be too happy too early. It can't be cured so easily." Zeng Nian smiled.
She didn't hope that she could return to her original state, but the more she had expectations, the easier it was to be disappointed.
She had been paralyzed for so many years, and she really couldn't imagine being able to stand up again.
A gust of wind blew, and green waves rippled in the lotus pond.
It is already May, and the lotus flowers have finished blooming.
This is their two favorite flower.
"Sister, let me ask you something, please don't be angry, okay?" Zeng Ci suddenly became serious. She rarely looked like this, she always had a smile on her face.
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything we sisters can't talk about? If you have anything to say, just ask." Zeng Nian answered her with a smile.
"If your leg really heals, will you marry Brother Chen Qi?" Zeng Ci asked, "You have to tell the truth and don't lie to me."
Zeng Nian lowered his head slightly and didn't speak for a long time.
Could it be? She had also fantasized about it, but in the end she was denied by herself.
When she was young, she was extremely sure that she would marry Chen Siwen.
More than once, she told her girlish concerns to her closest sister. Ever since they were young, the sisters have talked about everything.
Even when she later closed her heart and shut out Chen Sixen, she did not hide anything from her sister.
"If my leg heals and Yun Chu never comes back, and Brother Qi really needs someone to accompany him, I am willing." Zeng Nian mustered up the courage to say.
But then he shook his head and smiled: "But this is all just wishful thinking on my part. First of all, my legs may not be healed, and Yun Chu may come back. What's more, even if Yun Chu doesn't come back, Brother Seven will always miss her.
Reluctant to accept others. Compared to this, I would rather hope that Yun Chu comes back safely and that the two of them can reconnect and renew their marriage."
