Chapter 212 Winter Solstice ([-])

Yan Jingze had been looking forward to meeting Xia Lingyan again for many years.

For this reason, he argued with King Bosi today, and only then did he get the opportunity to come to Xia's family to attend the birthday banquet.

However, when it really came to this moment, his courage seemed to disappear again.

The moment he was about to see Xia Lingyan, he not only forcibly averted his gaze, but even had the urge to run away.

No matter in the memory or in the dream, Xia Lingyan is still that beautiful and talented girl.

Because of this, he was a little afraid to see her now.

I'm afraid that like many married women, she will be smoothed by the trivialities of life, and her agility will be erased.

She was even more afraid that she would be more beautiful than when she was young, that would prove that her choice was right, and the eldest son of the Shen family was the one who could give her happiness.

Yan Jingshen sensed his thoughts, and said softly: "Brother, if you shrink back at this time, what will the prince think, and what will Miss Xia think?"

Yan Jingze clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms.

Yes, he cannot escape.

This meeting was fought for by him, if he escaped like this, his father would be even more disappointed with him.

And Lingyan, she already disliked him, and she must not let her look down on him.

The protagonist of today's birthday banquet is Taishi Xia, even Xia Yueliang can only be regarded as a supporting role, and the rest of Xia's family can only be regarded as extras.

Therefore, Xia Lingyan and Shen Duan didn't intend to show off, and they dressed up carefully just for the occasion.

The two followed Yang with their children, and celebrated Grand Master Xia's birthday in a regular manner.

Yan Jingze didn't dare to be too explicit, he looked at Grand Master Xia like everyone present, and only looked at Xia Lingyan and his wife from the corner of his eye.

But just such a little peripheral vision has already brought him a great shock.

Xia Lingyan and him were childhood sweethearts, they lived in the same mansion and studied in the same study.

She cared about him very much, not only for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also gave him great help in his studies.

Yan Jingze can say with certainty that in his 21 years of life, no one, including his mother, took care of him without any selfishness like Xia Lingyan.

Before this moment, he could also say with absolute certainty that he was the man who loved Xia Lingyan the most in the world, and only he could give her true happiness.

However, the sight in front of him made him feel that his thoughts were too ridiculous and very pitiful.

Shen Duan is not the kind of man who is too dazzling. He has a handsome face and a gentle temperament, like a sweet and sweet stream, slowly flowing into people's hearts, comfortable and moisturizing, and very thirst-quenching.

His words and deeds are very decent, but he has not forgotten his wife and children, always keeping them in the safest and most comfortable position.

Anyone with long eyes can see that this is such an intimate and warm family of five.

Compared with Shen Duan, Xia Lingyan is now more outstanding.

Being a wife and a mother didn't make her restrain her edge, but made her shine even more.

The added tenderness between her brows and eyes is enough to show how happy she has been these years.

Concubine Zhao saw everything in her eyes, but felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

Ze'er didn't lose her composure, but she's going crazy, okay?
Back then Xia Lingyan was not engaged to Ze'er, so she cannot be accused of treachery.

But she saw how loving her son's beloved girl was with other men, and had a group of lively and lovely children, and even brazenly showed how happy they were in the public.

On the other hand, her son, who is clearly in his prime, is bad at being alone, how can she bear it?

"Damn..." She muttered, trying to rush forward.

Yan Jingshen has deep inner strength, it can be said that he watched all directions and listened to all directions, and when he found something wrong, he quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.

"What is the concubine side mother trying to do?!" He reprimanded in a low voice.

Fortunately, he knew this woman fairly well, so he took precautions against her, otherwise the matter really didn't know how it would end.

"Shen'er, I really can't bear it anymore. How can Xia Lingyan be so happy when your elder brother has fallen into such a situation?" Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth, but fortunately her voice was not loud.

Yan Jing said coldly: "She hasn't done anything to offend big brother, so why can't she be happy?
The concubine's concubine ignored her so much, the Xia family would lose some face at most, and Xia Lingyan would still be her young wife of the Shen family.

But have you ever thought about what big brother will lose? "

Concubine Zhao's anger disappeared in an instant.

That's right, the Xia family and Xia Lingyan, even the prince and the royal family, at most they would lose some face, but Ze'er would lose everything.

Even if he can stand up again, the prince will not give him another chance.

What is the difference between doing nothing for a lifetime and these years?
Seeing that she had come to her senses, Yan Jingshen let go of her arm.

On the other side, Xia Lingyan noticed Yan Jingze's gaze, and whispered a few words to Shen Duan.

Shen Duan nodded with a smile, entrusted the children to his mother-in-law, and walked slowly towards Bosi Palace with his wife.

A cold light flashed across Yan Chengyu's eyes, but his expression remained the same: "How is Miss Xia?"

Xia Lingyan and Shen Duan saluted together, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the prince's demeanor is even better than before. It's really gratifying."

Yan Chengyu laughed a few times, and looked at Yan Jingze.

Of course, at this moment, Yan Jingze was not the only one looking at him, but most of the people in Ruo'an Hall.

Xia Lingyan generously blesses the body: "The queen concubine, the side concubine, the eldest son, and the second son, thank you all for coming to the grand master's mansion to celebrate the grandfather's birthday."

Ming said with a smile: "Miss is really more outstanding than before, is this your husband-in-law?"

Shen Duan made a salute: "This is Ling Yan's husband-in-law Shen Duan, the princess is well."

Ming nodded: "It really is a good-looking talent."

Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the husband and wife finally spoke to Yan Jingze.

"Brother Jingze, are you okay?" Xia Lingyan's voice was muffled.

Yan Jingze's eyes were a little blurry.

Xia Lingyan's "Elder Son" just now made him feel as if he had stepped into a completely strange world.

Listening to Xia Lingyan still using the old address now, it seems that he has finally returned to reality.

He smiled, and said in a very gentle voice: "I'm fine. Mr. Xiahou said that in a few months, my legs might get better."

Xia Houfang has always been in touch with Xia Yueliang, saying that Xia Lingyan knows all about the progress of Jingze's leg injury.

But when Yan Jingze said such good news himself, he felt completely different.

Xia Lingyan said happily, "That's really great!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at her husband: "Brother Jingze, this is my husband Shen Duan."

Shen Duan also smiled generously and said: "I often hear Lingyan mention the eldest son, and today we finally meet."
