Chapter 283 Promise of Refuge

Yu Ruyi wisely stood up and gave up her seat so that Wen Ting'er could sit down.

Seeing the crow-green girl sitting in the empty seat between him and Yin Luo, she didn't appear to be restrained. She seemed to have rehearsed this scene countless times in her mind, and now she just did it.

The courtiers began to whisper among themselves, whispering about the Wen family Gu girl who showed up uninvited in the middle of the banquet.

Even if the singing and dancing stopped, the hall was still quiet. Yin Luo tilted his head amidst the noise, with complicated eyes, "You're here."

"Yes, third sister, I'm here." The moment Wen Ting'er sat down, she poured herself some wine. After drinking a glass, she lowered her eyes and never looked at Yin Luo from beginning to end.

Xu Zhichen and Wu Zihan, who were sitting next to each other at the table, looked towards her and called her each. She still didn't raise her eyes, but answered.

Emperor Chongwen, who was sitting on the high throne, looked at Wen Ting'er carefully again, and a voice in his heart said to him: How about issuing an imperial edict to marry Meng Qingyue and Ming Fang immediately? Anyway, I have to say that instead of waiting until the end of the banquet to promulgate it, it is better to settle it now.

Things would change later. The longer Wen Ting'er stayed at the banquet, the more uneasy he felt.

So Emperor Chongwen waved his hand to Eunuch Changde, who was standing on one side to wait on him.

Eunuch Changde agreed and took out a roll of imperial edict from his sleeve. After unfolding it, he said in his penetrating thin voice: "I believe that everyone who came to the banquet today has already received the news, Your Majesty. I intend to rush to this wonderful full moon banquet to confer a marriage between the fourth princess of the Ming Dynasty and Master Meng——"

Everyone in the banquet heard the sound and looked up at him.

For a moment, everyone's attention shifted from Wen Ting'er to Eunuch Changde. He was already in his sixties, and his hair exposed under the eunuch's hat was already gray. His eyes were like a sleepy old cat in the afternoon, but after reading The style of the imperial edict is very professional, perhaps because I have read it so much for so long.

Ming Fang, who was beside Emperor Chongwen, stood up and raised his eyes, but instead of looking at Eunuch Changde, he looked across the round platform at Meng Qingyue.

At this time, Meng Qingyue also looked at her with a smile.

Looking at each other, the two walked up to the round platform together, knelt side by side respectfully in front of the table where Emperor Chongwen sat, and waited for Eunuch Changde to announce the decree.

"Now there is Meng Qingyue of Baiqi Villa. She is Zhongzheng and sincere, as bright as the moon. She also knows and falls in love with my only daughter Mingfang. I intend to give you a marriage contract and grant permission to get married in Cuizhou, Jiangnan on September 29th."

Emperor Chongwen's imperial edict was brief, but the general meaning was accurate. After reading it, Eunuch Changde raised his arms above his head. When his hands fell, he bowed and said, "Master Qingyue, please accept the edict, and the fourth princess, please accept the edict." .”

Meng Qingyue respectfully reached out and took the imperial edict scroll handed over by Eunuch Changde. He slowly uttered the words with a gentle and firm voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up with Ming Fang in front of everyone's attention, and the two of them stood up again. He saluted Emperor Chongwen.

"Go back to the table. I have always doted on Fang'er, and you should understand it. I value Qingyue because I have no intention of tying Princess Daliang's fate to this imperial power. I only hope that my daughter Marry someone who can truly protect her for the rest of her life. I have been thinking about marrying Qingyue and Fang'er for a long time, and now that I have decided, it is a big deal on my mind."

Emperor Chongwen picked up his wine glass and toasted to the courtiers with a smile. During this process, Yin Luo kept paying attention to Wen Ting'er's expression. There was no obvious fluctuation in the crow-green girl's expression. Even when he saw Meng Qingyue receiving the imperial edict, he raised his lips and raised a smile, trying his best to perform a heartfelt blessing. appearance.

But Yin Luo didn't ignore the only glimmer of light that gradually disappeared from her eyes.

"Ting'er, after the banquet is over, do you plan to go back to western Hunan? Why don't you come back to Yin Mansion with me? The six of us haven't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together for a long time." Yin Luo narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine flask, filled himself a glass, and then took another He passed the bottomed cup on Ting'er's table and poured it for her.

Yu Ruyi heard the sound and agreed very much, so she said to her: "Yes, Fourth Sister, I miss you. You don't know that during my return to Gushan, those who cannot eat well or sleep well must observe fasting, and Most of the tribesmen are simple, and I am too embarrassed to eat and drink." The young man in white frowned and frowned, touching his belly, without forgetting to wink at Wen Ting'er and continued: "Ayu has lost weight because of hunger. You come back to your house with us, Let's have another meal at the end," he said in a low voice. "At such a grand public banquet, you will never be full. I also sent someone to make a bracelet made of gold and jade, which I wanted to give to you. Woolen cloth."

Wen Ting'er raised his eyes, looking first at Yin Luo and then at Yu Ruyi. She always had a smile on her lips, as innocent as a young girl who had never seen anything in the world. There was no trace of her killing without blinking an eye. Wen Ting'er knew very well that what Yin Luo and Yu Ruyi said was not because they wanted to have a full moon meal with her, but because they were testing her state of mind, fearing that she would do something extreme, whether it was to others. Or to myself.

Wu Zihan also spoke up at the right time: "Yes, Fourth Sister, just come back with us. I was ignorant the past two days and caused you trouble. How could Fourth Sister, a kind-hearted person, kill my little uncle? I blame me for not asking you in advance. , when we return to the Yin Mansion, can I make you a small stone statue to apologize?" Wearing a landscape robe, he raised his buttocks, approached Wenting'er, and coaxed her.

This sentence of "people are kind and kind" deepened Wen Ting'er's smile. She knew that she was not worthy of this word, but for the first time she did not refute Wu Zihan.

"Fourth, come with us." Xu Zhichen stroked her waterfall-like long hair twice, and persuaded her lovingly and distressedly: "It's rare to see a full moon in life. The opportunity for reunion is right in front of us. Let's get together whenever we can. , okay?"

"Ting'er, looking at the moon in Shangjing is different from that in Xiangxi." Meng Qingyue toasted her with a toast.

How long has it been since you felt this way about being surrounded and cared for? Wen Ting'er lowered her eyes and then raised her eyes, picking up the wine glass and returning the favor to Meng Qingyue. She knew that her five brothers and sisters really wanted her to stay and have a meal with them, even if it was just a simple family dinner.

But she couldn't do it. She went to Beijing all the way and tried her best to hide her whereabouts. Just to prevent those Jianghu people who had a grudge against her from blocking her, she delayed the time to enter the banquet. Even though she hurriedly hurried, she still couldn't. It was a little late, and the news that she was attending a banquet in Beijing must have spread.

Those broken families whose family members and friends she had killed and whose reunion had been ruined by her would definitely go to Beijing to look for her and kill her.

Wen Ting'er was never afraid of people seeking revenge, but she didn't want to attract those bastards and ruin their fun because of her actions. If the full moon family banquet was contaminated by the light of swords and shadows, the beauty of the Mid-Autumn Festival would be ruined.

The five of them were reunited in one place, even without her. She doesn't have much time left. What's the point of passing this last Mid-Autumn Festival?

Fortunately, Mingfang can stay with Meng Qingyue in the future. Her bright and sunny personality will definitely fit in well with the five of them. Replace Wen Ting'er and accompany them through Mid-Autumn Festival after Mid-Autumn Festival for the rest of their lives.

For a long time, the crow-green girl shook her head slightly under the gaze of the five people, "I am here just for the banquet, and I don't plan to stay longer. Prince Yuanjin sent a letter to summon me to the East China Sea before. I delayed it until now, and it's time to fulfill my promise."
