C196 (1/2)
Ling Chaofeng smiled and did not speak, he walked forward with large strides, and even if Xiaowan did not have anything in her hands, she could not keep up with her master's footsteps. He jogged beside him, talking about Little Pei at home.
”Even saying so much is not as realistic as doing so.” Ling Chaofeng suddenly stopped and looked at his lovely wife with a smile. ”You miss one now?”
Xiaowan's smile was like a flower, her face was red as she said: ”Then we still can't do it right now, wait till you finish helping the general, we will discuss this after we return home.”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”Once this is done, there will be another thing. This kind of promise is unreliable.” He actually had the strength to release a hand, holding onto Xiaowan, he slowly walked, and said, ”Let's do as we agreed, everything will be settled as it comes.”
”I want to talk to you, but you can't laugh at me.” Xiaowan smiled mysteriously. Her eyes were brimming with happiness as she said, ”Master, I have a feeling that we were husband and wife in our previous lives.”
”Is that so?” In Ling Chaofeng's heart, he had the same thought.
”Would you laugh at me?” The Xiaowan said, ”But I really feel like we met a long, long time ago.”
”You and I are both at the Baisha County, perhaps we have actually met before?” Ling Chaofeng said, ”I also have a similar thought, we seem to have known each other for a long time.”
”Foolish husband, foolish wife …” Xiaowan pointed at Ling Chaofeng, then at herself. Ling Chaofeng grabbed her hand and kissed her on the back of her hand, only to see Xiaowan say in a soft voice, ”Hubby, thank you.”
”Thank me for what?”
”Come find me by the river.”
Ling Chaofeng looked at Xiaowan deeply: ”Then should I thank you too? Thank you for waiting there for me? ”What are you thanking me for, husband and wife …”
But he couldn't help but put down the wooden basin in his hands, hug Xiaowan's waist and kiss on his soft lips deeply.
The autumn wind blew, rustling the grass and trees. The last rays of the setting sun shone down, lengthening their silhouettes.
In the distance, when Wei Tengfei wanted to find the Xiaowan by the river, he saw the husband and wife embracing and kissing in the bushes. The man was startled for a moment, and then quickly turned his back to her, but he couldn't help but take a glance back.
Now, he suddenly understood one thing, but it was unknown if it was because of the love he had gained from looking at Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan, or because there was another person in his heart.
The situation here reached the capital three days later. The emperor was extremely nervous when he found out that Wei Tengfei almost died in the mountains. If something really happened to Wei Tengfei, not to mention the fact that the imperial government had lost a large general, the death of Siyan's dearest brother, how sorrowful would her life be in the future?
Xiang Run was still very afraid. Without waiting for a conclusion to be reached, he first sent out a order to prevent Wei Tengfei from entering the dangerous region again until the mountain was stable.
Then, he came over to tell Siyan that he had originally planned to calm Siyan's nerves, but due to the fact that she was not in danger, Siyan instead muttered under her breath, ”That Miss Bi is also miraculous.
The Emperor had long heard from Siyan that the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi wanted his daughter to seduce Wei Tengfei. Thinking about it now, he could not help but smile: ”I wonder what kind of fate exists between them.”
”Even so, we still have to be in love. If we can't hurry, we won't be able to get her to join us.” Siyan laughed and said, ”Big Brother's marriage is delayed by so many years compared to ordinary people, so it's even more impossible to deal with it casually.
The Emperor nodded, extremely proud. ”I want to be like me and marry my beloved woman.”
Siyan smiled slyly: ”Then I reluctantly married my beloved man.”
Xiang Run said with a face full of anger: ”How could I force you? Tell me, let us hear you call me.”
As she said that, she reached out and pulled Siyan into her embrace. Just as the two were about to get close to each other, someone from the palace came by and reported that it was the Prince of Xiluo that had requested an audience.
Ever since he had arrived in the capital, unless the Emperor was holding a banquet or had an appointment to meet with him due to matters between nations, he had almost never come to see the Emperor on his own accord. Meanwhile, Xiang Run had been waiting for him to present the marriage proposal of the Emperor of Xiluo.
However, that letter had long been thrown into the Baisha County by Haas, and after spending a beautiful period in the capital, he finally completed his mission. Even if he did not have the emperor's documents, he had personally come to ask the emperor to bring a beautiful woman from the Daqi back to the Xiluo.
Indeed, what was to come had finally come.
His own daughter was not even two years old yet. In return, he asked Haas how he wanted to marry him, but Haas replied with Chinese that was becoming more and more fluent: ”Your Majesty, I want to marry a beautiful Daqi girl to become my imperial concubine. Daqi girls are as precious as diamonds in my eyes.”
This person from the Xiluo had an elegant demeanor and beautiful, moving speech. He was not stingy with his beautiful words, causing others to feel that he was exaggerating but not sincere listening to him.
It was as if everyone was like that, Xiang Run once thought, how exactly did they judge whether their words were real or fake.
”It is a matter of the nation to be amiable with others. I understand your wish and sincerity. Wait a moment.” The emperor said coldly, ”I cannot forcefully order a girl to marry you. Since you are familiar with Chinese, do you know that there is a saying among the Chinese people called 'mutual love'?”
Haas said politely: ”Even in the Xiluo, there are words like that.”
”Since that's the case, we'll discuss the marriage after that. You can withdraw now.” Xiang Run said.
”But …” Haas's dark blue eyes, which were like gems from the ocean, carried a bit of mystery and allure. If they were grown on a woman's face, they would definitely captivate one's soul.
