C28 (1/2)
Although it snowed yesterday, the Imperial Capital was cold, so how could the snow block the road? The main road was so clean and dry that it was like the snow was just a dream.
The road was a little cold in the early morning, especially with fewer people around. The sound of the wheels grinding down the bluestone path was not pleasant to the ears. It echoed through the streets, echoing far away.
Most of the people in the manor knew about Eastern Ling Wan, so they didn't dare to take her silver. They brought Xue and Tingyu to Xiao Qian's courtyard. That person briefly explained the situation to the guard, giving Dong Ling Wan a hidden glance before leaving in a hurry. It was indeed easy for a girl who had not yet left the pavilion to invite criticism by visiting a man in the morning.
Dong Ling Wan ignored him and continued to wait in front of the gate. After a while, a man in white came out of the yard. He had a jade flute on his waist, and compared to the bamboo, the jade was even more rich and real.
This person walked leisurely and had a calm appearance, unlike the spirited and handsome Xiao family male. However, he was full of a poetic aura, and his demeanor was even gentler and more refined than Xiao Qian's. This made Dong Ling Wan think of that person, Pu Zhi.
The person in front of him was as light as a cup of tea. He was even more so than Pu Jing, wearing snow-white clothes that accentuated his elegance. Dong Ling Wan unconsciously recited a poem, ”Apart from the third snow, who else in the world could match white clothes?”
The man across from her was slightly surprised for a moment, but then he smiled and said, ”Second Miss, Yang Zhe is courteous.”
Dong Ling Wan replied with a smile: ”And you're still talking about who this peerless beauty is, so it turns out to be Second Young Master Yang. No wonder!”
The Yang family was a famous family in the Qi Province, and Dong Ling Wan had long heard of Yang Qing. It was not only because of his talent, but also because of his dedication, which made Dong Ling Wan have a good impression of him.
”Second Miss is too kind.” Yang Qing extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, but the guard blocked the duo who were admiring the snow outside the door. Dong Ling Wan was not annoyed, but followed him into the courtyard, only to see Xiao Qian standing alone under the eaves.
The snow-white color reflected Xiao Qian's navy blue robe, making him look extremely harmonious. When they were still a few steps away, Yang Zhe stopped and bowed to Xiao Qian, ”Second Miss has already attracted your attention. If you do, then I won't disturb you.”
With that, Yang Qing made a gesture to Dong Ling Wan to go on her own and left in the other direction.
Eastern Ling Wan hesitated for a moment before moving forward. Xiao Qian turned his head and saw a petite figure walking over. Xiao Qian smiled, but when he saw Dong Ling Wan's outfit, he frowned. These clothes …
Today, Eastern Ling Wan wore a pure white waist dress with a white fox fur coat over it. She wore a white fur coat with flowing clouds around her body.
After tidying up his expression, Xiao Qian smiled at her, ”I was going to ask someone to invite you in directly, but I heard that you had such a reputation, so I insisted on welcoming you myself. I couldn't convince him, so I let him go.”
Dong Ling Wan clenched her fist. She didn't want to see his appearance the most. With his tone, it seemed as though nothing had anything to do with him.
”Ling Wan pays her respects to your highness, your highness …”
Just as Dong Ling Wan was about to kneel down and pay her respects, Xiao Qian turned around. He had clearly said that she didn't need to perform such a feint. This woman would never listen to the words of others!
She could only stand there awkwardly. After a long time, she didn't say a word, as if she was feeling angry. Since she was laughing at her own thoughts, what kind of wager would she gamble on? It was a good thing not to kill everyone in anger.
Dong Ling Wan smiled, but didn't contain a single trace of emotion. Seeing him like this, she straightforwardly said, ”Dong Ling Wan, the reason why you have come today, is to beg Your Highness to let my eldest sister live. Regardless of what it is, it is as though a mountain of blades and a sea of flames have descended. Ling Wan will definitely bring it over and give it to Your Highness with both hands. ”
