"Thank you, Miss." Huangfu Cang smiled and expressed his gratitude, and then motioned to the woman beside him, "Shu Lan, please meet Miss. This is the eldest miss I often tell you, the king's biological daughter, and the daughter of our clan.
Your Highness the Emperor Ji."
She was a very gentle woman, about thirty years old.
Although she can't be said to be very beautiful, her gentle eyebrows make people feel comfortable looking at her.
Huangfu Cangzhi belongs to a branch of the Huangfu family and a branch of the Six Masters. However, because of his outstanding abilities, he was entrusted with important tasks by the Six Masters and is quite prestigious in the clan.
And his wife comes from the Jiang family, which is attached to the royal family and lives on one of the strongest Shengling Islands in Nanyu Thousand Islands, and has direct bloodline.
The relationship between the Huangfu family and the Jiang family is like that of a vassal country to the master country, and that of a foreign official to the emperor.
The combination of these two people can be regarded as a perfect match.
Although this marriage was brokered by Huangfu Cangzhi's father, there is a little-known story if you dig deeper into it.
When Jiang Shulan was in her prime, she fell in love at first sight with Huangfu Cangzhi, who came to work for the Jiang family as an envoy. Later, she learned that he had a deep love for Nalan Rongpei of the Snow Tribe, and she had been waiting silently for ten years to protect him.
The man becomes more and more admired.
At this point, there is a secret feeling of love.
From then on, time turned around and passed day by day.
Huangfu Cangzhi waited for Nalan Rongpei year after year, and she also waited for him year after year.
She didn't argue or make a fuss, she just stood behind him silently.
If he doesn't marry a wife, she won't give up.
The two of them met occasionally, and Huangfu Cangzhi treated her gently and politely, but never exceeded her. She also hid this thought in her heart and cherished it silently.
As time passed, all the young women in the family were married, but as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, she still adhered to her obsession, so that everyone in the Jiang family later knew which family she had in mind.
Later, it slowly spread to the Huangfu family. After Huangfu Cangzhi's father found out about it, he began to try to bring it together.
He also liked the man from the Snow Clan, and it was originally a happy marriage. However, fate made things difficult for him, and his only son couldn't just hold on to an illusory hope for the rest of his life.
At first, Huangfu Cangzhi refused righteously.
He has love in his heart, and distracting her from others will only delay others.
But later, Huangfu Cangzhi's mother passed away. When she closed her eyes, she didn't get to see her son get married and give birth to a child. She went there with regrets!
Seeing the look in his mother's eyes when she left, Huangfu Cangzhi blamed himself, felt sad, and felt unbearable guilt. At that opportunity, he finally let go.
He couldn't let his father die with regrets too!
And these years have indeed been enough.
He is also tired...
It turns out that waiting for someone is really tiring, even if it is what your heart desires.
Or maybe he didn't love her enough, so he finally gave up on the steadfast dream he had when he was young, married his Rong'er, and chose to compromise.
There is no such thing as falling in love, only respecting each other as guests.
That’s pretty good too…
At this time, there were changes in the ghost clan, and Huangfu Cangzhi was temporarily unable to return to Nanyu due to his responsibilities.
And the woman behind him, after waiting silently for more than ten years, finally chose to be brave for herself once, and she followed his footsteps.
From Nanyu Qiandao, across the vast sea, following the northerly wind, we arrived at Zhongzhou.
Here, with the mountains as matchmaker and the sea as evidence, they became husband and wife.
Neither of them knew that that day, not far behind them, stood a woman who had also walked thousands of miles of snow to come here, with tears streaming down her face.
One step too late is a lifetime.
Ling Xiyue left Chaoshan City for just over a year, but when she came back, everything seemed to have changed.
The person accompanying Huangfu Cangzhi is no longer Nalan Rongpei, but Ling Xiyue and Nalan Xueyi, who were originally praised as a match made in heaven. Between them, there is a Beichen that can never be crossed.
Yan, there was only Ling Xiyue in sight at this time.
This world is so strange sometimes.
Sometimes, things that won't change for ten years will change as soon as you turn around, and things will change.
Ling Xiyue followed Huangfu Cangzhi's seemingly casual but caring movements and looked at the woman beside him with gentle features.
While I was happy about this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in my heart.
Now, Aunt Pei is really the only one left...
What a beautiful childhood sweetheart, why did it come to this point?
Jiang Shulan stepped forward with a smile, bowed slightly, and bowed to Ling Xiyue alone, "I have met Her Royal Highness the Emperor Ji."
I've long heard that the Emperor's concubine is of unparalleled elegance, but when I saw her today, she was truly extraordinary.
"No need to be polite." Ling Xiyue smiled and raised her hand.
After she came closer, she took a closer look and discovered that the other party's belly was also bulging. Yue looked no smaller than hers, but it was covered by the loose clothes and was not visible.
A hint of surprise appeared in Ling Xiyue's beautiful eyes, and she looked at her, "Madam is also pregnant?"
"Yes, miss, it's been four months." Jiang Shulan smiled.
Ling Xiyue looked at Huangfu Cangzhi with a smile and teased, "Uncle Cang, you are really fast."
"Miss, please stop teasing me." Huangfu Cangzhi bowed to Ling Xiyue, with the words "please for mercy" written on his resolute face with a horizontal beard, "My old face doesn't matter, Shu Lan's face is very thin.
"
A man like Huangfu Cangzhi values love and justice, and any woman who marries him will be able to find peace.
Even if they can't fall in love, they can still truly support each other. If he doesn't marry, he will completely reject her without leaving any thoughts. But since he agrees to marry her, he will do his best to shoulder all the responsibilities of a husband.
Give birth to children and stay together until death.
"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the young lady?" Jiang Shulan heard this and secretly scolded Huangfu Cangzhi.
Huangfu Cangzhi laughed, raised his hand and put it on her waist, "Be careful."
"I'm fine, I'm not that fragile." Jiang Shulan whispered back.
Looking at the scene in front of me, love or not may not be so important anymore. In this world, not everyone can get what they want in the end, be perfect and get together with the person they started with.
It is enough for each of us to be well.
But missing such a man is not Nalan Rongpei's biggest regret in his life.
Seeing the loving and warm appearance of the two of them, Ling Xiyue's eyes dimmed slightly.
At this time, she wished Yan was by her side.
They did not miss each other like Huangfu Cangzhi and Nalan Rongpei, but they still couldn't stay together at this time. They were thousands of miles apart and suffered from lovesickness.
Why is there so much helplessness in this world?
Seeing Ling Xiyue lost in thought, Jiang Shulan stepped forward and said in a gentle and concerned voice: "Miss, don't stand at the air vent of this door. Go in. The sun is going down soon, and the sea breeze is even cooler at night."
"Okay." Ling Xiyue smiled and recovered her thoughts.xdw8
Huangfu Cangzhi suddenly remembered something and tilted his head to look back, "Why didn't I see Young Master Nalan? Didn't the miss message say that she would come with Young Master Nalan?"
