The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you." Ling Xiao looked at the unusually calm woman and felt a little nervous.

"You knew you couldn't hide it anymore, so you had to tell me, right?" Zuo Xiangning said with a faint smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you tell me or not. I know you who is wearing a mask now. I have another name in my heart, called Masked Man. I am now friends with Masked Man, but the Ling Xiao from before is already dead in my heart."

Ling Xiao's heart tightened slightly, and his voice became a little gentler, "Xiang Ning, this is my fault. I have no choice but to..."

Zuo Xiangning interrupted him and said softly with a sincere expression: "You don't need to explain to me. Things in the past are in the past. People have to look forward and always hold on to the past. What's the point?"

"Yes, you are right if you can see it that way." Ling Xiao was overjoyed when he saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake.

He didn't expect that the matter that he had been struggling with for so many days would pass by so lightly.

He reached out and grabbed Zuo Xiang's green-white fingers, and said excitedly: "The emperor gave me a house. I will take you there tomorrow to see if there is anything that needs to be changed. Just tell me and I will ask someone to hurry up." change."

Zuo Xiangning gently withdrew her hand, wiped it with a handkerchief, lowered her eyes and said: "I am like a canary now, trapped in this small courtyard every day, how can I Are you in the mood to look at those useless things?" Zuo Xiangning said pitifully: "If you really have that intention, quickly find a way to get me out!"

"I know." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to straighten the crooked hairpin on her head, and said softly: "The emperor originally told me yesterday that he wanted you to be the granddaughter of the wise king and make you the princess, but the queen did not agree. .The Empress does not want you to change your name. She wants to tell the public that you are not acclimated to the climate and are seriously ill on the way to the north. Prince Ru does not want you to lose your beauty, so he agrees to terminate the engagement with you and have someone send you back to Beijing. "

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows. Her sister's statement was very good. If she was really made the granddaughter of the wise king, wouldn't she become Li Wenji's sister?

"Has the emperor agreed?"

"Agreed." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "The imperial edict will be issued in the next two days."

Zuo Xiangning finally had a smile on her face.

"Then I'll take you to the house tomorrow?" Ling Xiao asked again.

"Let's wait until the imperial decree comes down. I want to go home and see my mother first." Zuo Xiangning said worriedly: "I don't know if my eldest brother said anything to my mother. If my mother knew that I was missing, She should not die in a hurry."

"You can go back in two days." Ling Xiao added, "By the way, Dr. Liu's sons Xiao Wu and Zhang Tu have arrived in the capital, and Zhang Tu sent Xiao Wu back to the Liu family."

"Are they all okay?" Zuo Xiangning heard that Xiao Wu and the others were back, and said a little regretfully: "I originally wanted to take him around to gain some experience, but in the end he didn't go anywhere."

"It's not easy for them to travel most of southern Shanxi at such a young age." Ling Xiao said, "Besides, Xiaowu is a good kid, and he should be a promising person in the future."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, "That kid Xiaowu is pretty good."

Ling Xiao always felt that Zuo Xiangning's expression was too calm, and she felt a little unsure.

He smiled and asked: "What do you want to eat tonight? Can I roast a leg of lamb for you?"

Although Zuo Xiangning couldn't see his face, she could tell from the tone and voice of his words that he was careful to please.

She nodded calmly: "Then let's bake it."

Ling Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and hurriedly asked someone to prepare things.

Zuo Xiangning ate a leg of lamb by herself in the evening, and also had a bowl of rice with mutton soup.

"What else do you want to eat?" Ling Xiao saw how delicious she was eating and asked with a smile: "Can I roast some more mutton for you?"

"No, I'm full." Zuo Xiangning burped and put down the bowl and chopsticks with a smile.

"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day." Ling Xiao smiled and took a peach to Zuo Xiangning, "This is the newly delivered peach, you can try it."

Zuo Xiangning picked up the peach and took a small bite. It was sweet and crisp. "Is it delicious? I asked someone to bring back a lot of it. They will cook it for you tomorrow, add frosting sugar, and put it in well water. It will be more delicious." Ling Xiao wanted to give all the delicious food to him she.

"I can't eat anything too cold." Zuo Xiangning bit her peach and looked at him with a smile, her face as pretty as a flower.

"Is your stomach bad?" Ling Xiao said worriedly, "Let Dr. Liu come and take a look at you tomorrow."

"It's not convenient now. You'll have to wait until I get home." Zuo Xiangning pointed to the mutton on the stove and said, "It's burnt."

Ling Xiao put the mutton on the plate and grilled the corn for her, "This is delicious even when grilled."

Zuo Xiangning looked at him, smiling without saying a word. She looked so shy and cute, which made Ling Xiao feel excited.

But in the evening, after he washed up, he wanted to admire the moon and talk with Zuo Xiangning under the grape trellis, but found that Zuo Xiangning had turned off the lights and went to sleep.

He stood outside Zuo Xiangning's window for a long time, then reluctantly turned around and returned to his room.

The next day, the emperor sent a eunuch to deliver a letter to Zuo's family, telling the world about Zuo Xiangning's return to Beijing.

Ling Xiao quietly took Zuo Xiangning to Shiliting in the suburbs, where he arranged people and carriages, and sent Zuo Xiangning into the capital with great fanfare.

He followed the convoy until they were sent to the alley at the entrance of Zuofu before he left.

Jiang and Zuo Zimo had already received the letter and were waiting for her at the gate.

When Zuo Zimo saw the carriage entering the alley, he ran out to meet it, calling "Fourth Sister" excitedly.

Zuo Xiangning lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Zuo Zimo, and called "Third Brother" sweetly.

"Hey!" Zuo Zimo agreed and shouted to the door of Zuo Mansion: "Mother! The fourth sister is back!"

Before the carriage stopped, Zuo Xiangning couldn't wait to lift the curtain.

Jiang walked out of the courtyard door, took two steps forward, and reached out to support Zuo Xiangning who jumped out of the carriage, "You kid, the carriage hasn't stopped yet!"

"Mother!" Zuo Xiangning threw herself into Jiang's arms and choked out.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Jiang pressed Zuo Xiangning's back and said silently: "Your eldest brother wrote a letter last month, saying that you can't come back with him until the end of the year, but he didn't mention it at all. The thing about your illness...you were waiting for him to come back! Look how I will deal with him!"

"Mom, I didn't let my eldest brother tell my mother." Zuo Xiangning took Jiang's arm and walked into the yard. She asked with a smile: "How are you doing recently? Is everything okay at home? "

"Everything is fine at home." Mrs. Jiang patted her hand, "I got the letter yesterday and tidied up your yard. Mother Cai has been busy preparing food for you since yesterday afternoon. I don't know what happened. Did you make something delicious?" Jiang said with a smile: "The queen sent someone here early this morning to convey the decree, saying that she will announce our mother and daughter's entry into the palace tomorrow."

Jiang sent Zuo Xiangning back to her yard, "You take a hot bath first, and then we eat at the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden."

Zuo Xiangning stood under the eaves, looking at the familiar courtyard with mixed feelings in her heart.

She didn't expect that she would go back to Xianglan Zhai again.

"Meow——" A cat meowed suddenly from the yard next door.

As soon as Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows, she saw a light blue figure floating in the yard.
