Jiaochu

The carriage stopped suddenly and was stopped.

The driver was surprised when he saw that the person blocking the carriage was a girl wearing a mask.

The onlookers were waiting to see the show, not knowing the identity of the person in the carriage or the identity of the girl who blocked the carriage. They thought they could watch a wonderful show of "a mysterious woman beating a heartless man in the street".

"Does your young master still recognize me?"

The driver of the car persuaded him nicely: "Girl, my young master and you are strangers. Girl, don't make trouble and go home quickly." The driver of the car was none other than Xiao Quanzi.

She put her hands to her mouth and whispered something, and Xiao Quanzi suddenly looked surprised.

"The third princess asked me to pick her up."

One hand opened the curtain, and the person inside said, "Come up."

Xiao Quanzi looked surprised again. He didn't expect that His Highness would let someone in without verifying the other person's identity. He also felt that the girl seemed familiar and her voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't recognize who it was for the moment.

Seeing the carriage taking the people away, and the onlookers also dispersed, I thought I could see the big show, but in the end I didn't see anything, and felt it was boring, which was a bit disappointing.

The person sitting directly in front is wearing moon-white clothes, with a peaceful expression. Compared with three years ago, his eyebrows and eyes are more calm and steady. Although his figure is still a little thin, it is a little less thin. The whole person looks More responsible.

"Have you seen enough?" Ye Qingran seemed to be asking, as if he had already recognized the person who was staring at him with his face in his hands.

"It's not funny. How did big brother recognize it?" Ye Lingxi took off his mask and studied where the mask was exposed.

Ye Qingran didn't say where the secret started to show up, and asked: "How are you feeling?" She nodded, stared at the calm face again, nodded again, and said nothing. Telling the truth seemed to be a deliberate show-off, so Ye Qingran asked, "What's wrong?" She replied seriously: "I find that my eldest brother is getting better and better as he grows older."

"It's just a compliment to the girl that she looks good." Ye Qingran said.

She asked seriously: "How should I praise you? Yushu is charming and graceful in the wind?"

"Nothing else to ask?"

"Yes, brother, are you eating well over there? Are you sleeping well? Are you bored? What will you do when you are bored?"

"Any more?"

"Yes, there are many, many more. I will make a list when I get back, and big brother will answer them all."

"it is good."

……

When the carriage and horses arrived at the gate of the palace, Ye Qingran opened the curtain and took a look outside the carriage window. The tall tower was reflected in those light and tranquil eyes, like a shadow sinking into the calm water.

Three years may be able to smooth out a person's edges and make people understand that the impulsiveness of youth is just an unrealistic fantasy. Maybe not, it's just hidden deeper...

"Brother, do you know how many steps there are to go up from here?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Ye Qingran looked away and said a number.

"Eldest brother has also counted?" Ye Lingxi was a little surprised.

Ye Qingran said: "I have counted them before." A picture emerged in her mind. As the sun set, a lonely figure climbed up the tower silently counting the steps one after another, sitting there and watching. Migratory birds returning to their nests in the distance...

It's sad.

After the carriage stopped, Ye Lingxi got off the carriage first. After a few seconds, Ye Qingran got off. Perhaps he was not ready to face the person he was about to see.

"His Highness is back." Eunuch De came over with a happy face. Seeing that Ye Lingxi was also there, he saluted her and said hello, "The Emperor is waiting to see His Highness in the Imperial Study Room. Your Highness, hurry up and follow your servant."

"Brother, go quickly." Ye Lingxi said in an encouraging tone, with encouraging power in his eyes.

Eunuch De left Xiao Anzi to send Ye Lingxi back and led Ye Qingran towards the royal study. Ye Lingxi asked Xiao Anzi how her father was feeling, and Xiao Anzi replied that he looked pretty good. Ye Lingxi asked Xiao Anzi to go back first and inform her of any news in time.

Before dinner, Xiao Anzi came over again and congratulated her. Ye Lingxi was a little confused and thought someone was proposing marriage to her father.

"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, there is a big happy event happening in the palace."

Could it be... She looked stunned, feeling happy and sad at the same time. What she was happy about was that all good things were hard to come by, but what she was worried about was this. If something unexpected happened again, she really wanted to argue with God.

Seeing Ye Lingxi looking up at the sky, Xiao Anzi said earnestly: "God is really wise, allowing His Highness and Miss Su to finally get married. With the support of His Highness, Shangshu Mansion, no one will dare to look down on Your Highness in the future." ”

"Didn't you say yesterday that Uncle Su was against eldest brother's return?" Ye Lingxi said.

Xiao Anzi said flatteringly: "Princess, you have a good memory. I also listen to what others say." He changed the subject and said, "Miss Su will be back in two days. Let's pick a good day to arrange the wedding. Then there will be more." It’s lively.”

She felt that the timing of their return was a bit coincidental, and she wondered if they would have met on the road, and maybe there would be a story about a hero saving a beauty. After a long talk, they opened up their hearts, and decided to put aside their previous grudges and join hands. Make progress together.

After dinner, Xiao Quanzi came over to give gifts, and Ye Lingxi asked insinuatingly, but to her surprise, she got them all right.

As the saying goes, no coincidence can be written. Su Wan happened to be coming back in the next few days. He encountered bandits blocking the way and was bumped into by Ye Qingran's team. After dealing with the bandits, Ye Qingran escorted Su Wan all the way to Wancheng in front and entered the city. It was already dark, and they stayed in the city for another night, and the two of them spoke clearly face to face.

In order to avoid causing gossip, the two came back at staggered times.

Xiao Quanzi told Ye Lingxi another piece of good news.

"The emperor plans to confer a title on His Highness, so that His Highness will have his own palace in the future."

The subtext of "I don't have to look at people's faces in the palace anymore" remained in my heart.

Ye Lingxi was also happy for her eldest brother, but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she thought that her eldest brother would move out a few days after he came back. Then she thought about it, and when she left the palace, she could still let her eldest brother treat her to dinner, so she felt no longer disappointed. .

After Xiao Quanzi left, Ye Lingxi picked up three stones in the yard and threw them on the ground. The stones rolled to different directions and stopped at their respective positions. She frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Lingdang looked at the stones on the ground curiously, wondering what the mystery was.

Ye Lingxi kicked a small stone away at random and said, "It's okay, we're just waiting for a wedding bar."

Two days later, Su Wan arrived in the capital.

Although there was an accident on the way and he was targeted by a killer, fortunately Yan Fei arrived with someone in time and there was no danger.

Yanfei escorted Su Wan all the way back to Shangshu Mansion, and then returned to the palace. On the way to the royal study room, Ye Lingxi happened to pass by. Yanfei nodded slightly, and she smiled knowingly. She knew what the other person meant with just one look, and there was no need to say anything.
