"..." Xu Yun didn't say anything for a while, his eyes kept repeating, but when the word "but" came to his lips, he hesitated.
Xu Mingyi looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly realized.
Oh, she just understood...
"Or is it that the second uncle doesn't really care about who speaks first, but... is afraid that even if he opens his mouth, he will be rejected by the empress?" She asked tentatively.
Xu Yun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he didn't insist on it. His eyes averted for a moment, which was regarded as acquiescence.
He didn't know why he was so hopeless——
I asked that person to abandon me once, but I didn't remember it for a long time. I waited patiently until now, and now I am still afraid that the other person will not want me.
All the pride and dignity were torn to pieces.
Thinking about the heart that refused to die no matter what these years, Xu Yun asked with a wry smile: "Zhaozhao, do you think your second uncle is spineless?"
Xu Mingyi shook his head.
"I think my second uncle is too strong-minded. Wherever he fell, he would have to stand up. If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't dare to give up."
The hesitation at this time and the dare not speak is just because I care too much.
After waiting for so many years, the Queen is now out of the palace. This is an opportunity that the two of them never dared to think about before, but it is unknown what the consequences of this opportunity will be.
If they can't come together in this way, then it's really impossible for the two of them...
The second uncle is uneasy, afraid of shattering the promising situation in front of him, and afraid that the suffering of these years will be regarded as nothing, which is also human nature.
After all, he is his second uncle, so it is impossible not to feel sorry for him.
In exchange for anything else, she could grab it and give it to her second uncle, but she really had to do something about love. The empress had stayed in the palace for so many years, and her thoughts and ideas may have changed——
There is no doubt about the second uncle's intentions, and the Queen's choice should also be respected.
Therefore, she suggested: "How about I go and find out your mother's thoughts on behalf of my second uncle?"
Xu Yun was startled, then nodded: "That's fine..."
It would be safer to let Zhao Zhao test it. If she really had no intention of doing it, he... wouldn't bother her again.
"Then I'll go over there later. My second uncle is waiting for news from me." Xu Mingyi stood up from the stone bench and said without further delay.
After running out for nearly a day and night, I still need to go back to change clothes and tidy up.
"Zhaozhao, wait..."
As soon as Xu Mingyi came out of the pavilion and went down the stone steps, he heard his second uncle calling him to stop.
She turned back.
"...Don't be too straightforward." Xu Yun's expression has calmed down, but there is a trace of indescribable loneliness, as if the desolate person in his heart no longer believes that there will be flowers blooming——
He said in a low voice: "In these years, I have just followed my heart, and I am not waiting for her. This is my own business... It should not be a burden on her heart."
His mind is not a prison, and he has no intention of trapping her choices.
When she walked out of the palace, he felt relieved. As for whether she wanted to be with him or not, it didn't seem to be that important.
"I always follow my heart, and I ask her to follow her heart. This way she becomes the Wu Jingying I know." Xu Yun finally said it, and the tangled emotions disappeared from his eyes, as if he had convinced himself.
She just wanted to briefly explore her mother's feelings, and would never use her second uncle's years of waiting as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
As the second uncle said, it is his own business. Since it is his own choice, he does not need others to share the consequences.
Xu Mingyi first went back to where he was staying to wash up and change clothes.
This courtyard was the residence of her biological mother before she left the pavilion. Stepping inside, through the furnishings, it seems that you can still see the figure of its former owner.
"...After the girl went out this morning, Yuandong's family sent a lot of clothes and jewelry." Akui said: "Not only the dresses, but also several robes that fit the girl's figure. Yuandong's family is really
Have a heart."
Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement.
The Yuan family has always been very thoughtful.
My grandfather really has a good eye for people.
"Where is the third eye?" Xu Mingyi asked casually while changing clothes under A Kui's service.
Then before Akui could reply, he saw a black shadow in his peripheral vision.
Under the red sandalwood clothes hanger beside her, the dark cloak she had changed into when she came back this morning and the one she wore last night slipped to the ground at some point. At this moment, the big bird was lying on it, sleeping soundly.
"My maid wanted to take it to have someone wash it, but my Third Eye refused to move it." Akui said, "My maid thought that maybe she had just arrived in a new place, and her Third Eye felt that everything was unfamiliar. She was lying on the girl's bed.
You can feel at ease with your clothes, so just let them go."
Really?
Xu Mingyi looked at the sleeping big bird and expressed doubts about Akui's warm guess.
Maybe it's just because I'm too lazy to move.
But her family's Tianmu has been running around as a sentinel recently. Compared with the old days when she was full and waited for hunger, she was indeed suffering a lot.
Therefore, he explained: "I'll have to ask the kitchen to stew more delicious food later to replenish my third eye."
"Yes." Akui agreed with a smile while tying the pearl button in front of her girl.
People say that Tianmu is fat, and the girl talks about asking Tianmu to eat less all day long, but Tianmu has been away for the past few days, and it seems that he has finally become slimmer, but the girl is trying to make up for it - can Tianmu do it?
Fat?
"Chirp!"
The big bird suddenly opened its eyes and flapped its wings twice.
"..." The warm feeling that had just brewed in Xu Mingyi's heart suddenly dissipated.
The host who has worked hard all day does not know how to open his eyes to greet him when he comes back, but wakes up immediately when he mentions food?
Tianmu seemed to have just seen her coming back, so he ran over and rubbed the hem of her skirt.
Seeing Big Bird's somewhat perfunctory behavior, Xu Mingyi could not help but think of the waiters outside the Goulan Courtyard who were forced to solicit customers to make a living.
But when I looked down, I felt that it couldn't be compared like that.
After all, no Goulan courtyard would keep a bald little boy...
Akui waited on Xu Mingyi to clean her face and twist her hair.
The Yuan family is very attentive, and not only jewelry, but also creams, gouache and other items are fully prepared.
Xu Mingyi did not plan to go out again, but Akui still combed her hair with extra care, and carefully selected jewelry - this girl was all about lightness, and her skills as a personal maid were almost useless, and now
The girl was finally willing to sit down obediently and let her show off, so she couldn't let go of this opportunity.
Xu Mingyi was in a good mood and not in a hurry.
Today is the first day in the city. In the evening, we will gather together for a meal, and it is said that the doctor Qiu is in charge.
She felt hungry when she thought of this, but the sky had not yet darkened, and it was just enough time for her to go to the Queen's concubine before dinner time.
"When I left the capital, I asked Ah Zhu to bring a box. Can you bring it from the camp today?" Xu Mingyi stood up from the dressing table, and the glazed pearl necklace made a sweet sound as it swayed.
"The one who brought it was put away by the maid."
"Take it out."
There was something in that box that she needed to return to the Queen.
