She breathed softly, suppressed her inexplicable excitement, adjusted her expression, and then slowly turned back to look at him, "So, the wedding with Sister Alan, a daughter of the Northern Tang Dynasty, is all fake?"
Jingtian's pupils tightened, "Are you...angry?"
"No." Zelan shook her head, the light shone on her clean face, and her eyes under the neat forehead had returned to calmness, "But, why didn't you just ask someone to send me a letter, saying that you have been looking for me? What if?
You sent me a letter saying that I am willing to come over and meet my good friends. You announced your wedding and invited foreign guests, and made the matter so big. How did you end it?"
He suddenly had the courage to break the boat, slowly stepped forward and stood in front of her, looked into her dark eyes, and said in an almost domineering voice: "There is no need to end it, I have declared to the world that my queen is
Yuwen Zelan, I'm waiting for her to grow up."
Zelan was stunned, "Did you really say that?"
Jingtian saw that she seemed a little angry, and his heart sank slightly. There was a layer of sadness in his eyes, and he asked tentatively, "Are you... willing?"
Zelan hesitated for a moment. The young man in his memory came back by the starlight. At that time, he held her wrist and told her passionately that in ten years, if he had not died, he would come back to marry her. This persistent and enthusiastic voice
, echoing in her mind, the past and the present were entangled, and she didn't know how to deal with it, "I..."
Seeing her hesitation, Jingtian's heartbeat quickened, he was very panicked, and his face turned slightly, "You don't need to answer immediately, you can answer after a few years, or even ten or twenty years later."
"but……"
"No, no, don't say it." He could no longer maintain his sudden domineering attitude in front of her. With his plan, he knew that he was in the wrong, and his jade-metallic face turned pale. "Don't answer this yet.
Question, we... you were hungry all the way here, I asked someone to prepare something you like to eat, let's eat first, okay?"
"What do I like to eat?" Zelan was slightly startled.
"I guess you like food." His confidence was getting weaker and weaker. If she knew that he had been investigating her affairs, would she be even more angry?
Zeelan smiled, and his smile was brighter than the stars, "Okay!"
When she sat down, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't guess what brother Jingtian was thinking. He had done so many things secretly, but she couldn't give any response.
She never thought about her marriage.
She is only eleven years old.
He did so many things for her, which made her feel a little stressed.
However, it would be a lie to say that I was not touched. Little girls of this age are very vain.
There was a gift wrapped in brocade beside the table. As soon as she glanced at it, Jingtian hurriedly took it away and put it on the ground, looking a little unnatural.
"Given it to me?" Zelan's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Sedum's face turned slightly red, "Yes!"
He slowly took it up, feeling a little regretful. Perhaps, this gift was too reckless.
How did I come up with such a meeting method in the first place? I had no control over it at all.
He gently pushed the gift with his fingers and put it in front of Zeelan. His eyes were a little dodgey, "It's a small gadget. I don't know if you like it or not."
Zelan opened the brocade and then opened the small red brocade box, revealing a small jade carving.
The high-ice jadeite is crystal clear, like glass, clear and clean. Zelan originally thought it was a carving of Guanyin, but when he took it in his hand and looked carefully, he realized that the carving was her face.
The carving is very exquisite, the face is lifelike, and even the hair is clearly carved. There is really no flaw in the entire carving. The facial features are exquisite and the corners of the lips are slightly raised, showing a naughty smile.
Holding it in the palm of your hand, it feels cool to the touch, and the coldness of the jade material invades you slightly, making it very comfortable.
He looked at her steadily and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her look of surprise. She should like it.
"Did you make it yourself?" Zelan couldn't put it down, his eyes like fire were filled with admiration.
"Yes!" He nodded heavily and looked at her with burning eyes, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it very much!" Zelan also nodded heavily, and the smile on his lips became brighter.
He looked a little excited, "Then can you give it to me with your own hands?"
"Ah?" Zelan was startled for a moment, "Giving it to you? Didn't you give this to me?"
His slightly trembling fingertips reached into his sleeve pocket, took out another high-ice jade carving, placed it on the palm of his hand, and said seriously: "This is what I want to give to you with my own hands."
Zelan looked at the piece in his palm. The jade quality was the same. They were both high-ice jade, almost glass. You could almost see the lines on his palm, but the carving was his own image.
The piece of clothing carved out of jade and gold, with a smile on his face, was what he was wearing when they met. Although the color did not show, the embroidery and carvings were clear.
She has always had a good memory and remembers clearly.
She placed two pieces of jade in the palm of her hand, both of them were from three years ago.
He chased back time and fixed it on when they met three years ago.
Jingtian looked at Zelan. Although he tried to maintain calmness, God knows, his heart almost jumped into his throat.
Zelan put the two pieces of jade back into the box and said, "I'll put both pieces here with you first."
Jingtian's eyes turned red, he looked at the returned box, hummed, and lowered his eyes to cover up the shocking disappointment.
Eunuch Mori served exquisite dishes, which were indeed what Zeelan liked to eat. Zeelan knew it when he saw those dishes.
She ate happily, and the atmosphere gradually became brighter, but Sedum's smile was a little lost.
After eating, Zelan picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at him and said seriously: "There is one thing that concerns the interests of both countries. I hope to jointly mine minerals on the border with your country. Do you have this intention?"
Talking about business, Jingtian became serious, "Well, I have thought about this matter, and I really plan to have a good talk with you. Moreover, I also asked someone to make a plan. I thought I would talk to you in two days.
Let’s talk in detail, but if you want to talk now, that’s fine too.”
He turned around and told Eunuch Mori, "Go to the Imperial Study Room to get the third document."
"Yes!" Mr. Mori immediately went down.
He scooped a bowl of sour plum soup for Zelan, "The food just now was a bit greasy, so drink a bowl of sour soup to relieve the greasy taste."
"Thank you!" Zelan said.
After taking a few sips, she looked at Sedum, "I didn't ask for your gift, are you angry?"
"No!" Jingtian smiled and looked at her with his deep eyes, "I have expected any outcome. Being able to see you is already the greatest joy. The rest is just forced by me."
Zelan gently stirred the sour soup and said: "Actually, you really don't have to do so many things for me. Especially, the position of queen is really a bit... hasty. You are still young now. Maybe you don't know that people in different
The things you pursue are different at different stages. Now you only promise me the position of queen because I saved you once, but gratitude and emotion are not the same thing. You will figure it out later."
