Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 55 Torn off the hijab, Ah Xian is not married anymore
Xiao Zhenyun personally drove Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun to the gate of the Nanjun Palace, watched the two enter the gate, and then left.

King Lu Xiaojun supported Chu Ci to go forward, frowned, and looked at her worriedly, "Chu Xiaoci, you are already like this, why don't you go to Luyou Courtyard?"

Chu Ci listened to his proposal, but refused to agree.She shook her head lightly, looked at him and said, "I didn't return last night. Although Biyue reported that she was safe, I reckon that the old lady still didn't sleep well. Let's go and have a look, so I can feel more at ease."

King Lu Xiaojun had no choice but to follow her to Luyou Courtyard resignedly.

A quarter of an hour later, Luyou Courtyard, Nuan Pavilion.

When the old lady heard that her beloved grandson and grandson-in-law had returned, she immediately asked Bixin to come out to meet them.

Bi Xin hurried out, and after paying her respects, she took Chu Ci and King Lu Xiaojun to the Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the old lady's concerned voice came over, "Aci, come quickly and let grandma see, are you okay?"

When Chu Ci heard the words, his heart warmed up, and he walked towards the old lady, and said lightly, "When I return to the old lady, I just got a little frightened, and I will be raised for a night, and I am already well."

After hearing this, the old lady raised her head to look at her face, and saw that her face was indeed a little rosy, so she was relieved.

After pausing for a while, he held her hand again, turned his head to look at King Lu Xiaojun, and asked, "Do you know what caused the startled horse?"

When Lu Xiaojun heard the old lady's question about the reason for the frightened horse, a stern look flashed in his eyes, he snorted, and said coldly, "The grandson has already been investigated, and there should be a result in a short time."

The old lady nodded, rubbing Chu Ci's cold hands, her face was a little pale and she said fearfully, "If nothing happens in the future, you'd better stay in the mansion, don't go out and run around again... there will be such a thing again , Grandma is afraid that her heart will be frightened!"

"...It's Ah Ci's fault, which made the old lady worry." Chu Ci looked at the old lady shyly, and said weakly.

Seeing her guilty face, the old lady felt soft in her heart, patted her hand and explained, "A Ci, don't think too much, grandma didn't want to restrain the two of you... It's just that I'm old and can't bear it." No matter how frightened I am, I just care about you!"

"I know what the old lady means, and I understand it in my heart." Chu Ci nodded, and later added, "Old lady, you are not old, not at all!"

"You are the only one with sweet lips!" The old lady raised her hand and gently scratched her nose.Then, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Forget it, I still go out if I want to go out in the future, but I need to bring more guards with me... With them around, I can feel more at ease."

Seeing the old lady let go, Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and immediately said, "Ah Ci listens to the old lady."

King Lu Xiaojun didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but just sat aside, propped his chin with one hand, looked at Chu Ci indifferently, with a smile and a little affection.

The old lady looked at her grandson's idiotic appearance, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes... Then she looked back and forth between the two of them, waved her hands and said, "Okay, I haven't been back all night, you are also tired, go back and rest first Let's go, come to eat with grandma in the evening!"

"Yes, old lady (grandmother)!"

The two stood up at the same time, bowed to the old lady, then turned and retreated.

Deer outside the courtyard.

King Lu Xiaojun habitually sent Chu Ci back to Langyueju.

Thinking of Marquis Dingnan now, he was still full of anger.

When approaching the corner, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Chu Ci, and snorted coldly with his chin raised, "I just don't like Xiao Zhenyun, that country bumpkin! Chu Xiaoci, I won't allow you to associate with him again!"

Hearing this, Chu Ci turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then asked, "What's the reason for this?"

King Lu Xiaojun snorted coldly, "It's not because of his shrew mother!"

"Oh, you mean Mrs. Xiao?"

King Lu Xiaojun nodded, and sneered with disgust, "That old man, what do you call Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Hou to the outside world, she is actually a village woman! You also know that in Jinling City, only our two families have titles. So she always likes to compete with her grandmother...for so many years, every time she meets her, she has to provoke her to get angry! There are even a few times, she is so angry that she faints!"

Chu Ci understood clearly, looked at him and nodded slowly, "It turns out that it is because of the old lady that you look down on Marquis Dingnan."

King Lu Xiaojun raised his sword eyebrows, with a bit of color in his coldness, "Young master has such a clear love and hate, and hates Wu and Wu's temperament!"

After hearing this, Chu Ci watched him bend his lips into a smile, nodded and said, "Very good."

"What did you say?" King Lu Xiaojun stopped and looked at Chu Ci in disbelief.

Chu Ci also stopped, looked at him, and smiled lightly, "I said you have a good temper, simple and simple, one is one, and two is two, if you like it, you like it, if you hate it, you hate it... ...that's fine."

When King Lu Xiaojun heard her praise himself, his ears blushed unconsciously.

After a moment of stagnation, he raised his foot and walked forward again, leaving Chu Ci behind, and hummed in a muffled voice, "For you have vision."

Looking at his back, Chu Ci shook his head and gave a low laugh, but said nothing.

All the way in silence, we arrived at the door of Langyue Residence.

She was about to go one step ahead.

At this moment, King Lu Xiaojun had a serious face, without any warning, he suddenly grabbed her hand and held it tightly.He looked into her eyes, very seriously, and said word by word——

"Chu Xiaoci, I will work hard to practice martial arts and protect you in the future."

Chu Ci didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, he was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

When King Lu Xiaojun saw her agreeing with a smile, his ears immediately turned red.

Without saying a word, she let go of her hand, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Chu Ci watched his back disappear quickly... The arc of the corners of his lips gradually became larger.

Xindao: What a cute boy!
Back at Langyue Residence, after entering the inner room, she didn't see Biyue, Yunniang and Banxia were serving in the room.

Seeing her coming in, the two immediately stepped forward to salute.

Chu Ci nodded at them, and after washing his hands and sitting down on the couch, he asked casually, "Where is Biyue, why don't you see her?"

Yunniang bowed her knees and said respectfully, "As for the girl, Sister Biyue has been ill since she came back last night, and she is taking care of her at home now."

"Ill?" Chu Ci frowned, and immediately got up and said, "Take me to see her."

Hearing what she said, Yunniang hesitated, "This... the girl is the master, and sister Biyue is just a servant girl. It's not appropriate for you to visit her, is it?"

Chu Ci pressed his eyebrows, shook his head, "It's okay, take me there!"

Seeing that Chu Ci couldn't be persuaded, Yunniang nodded her head, said "girl, please come with me", and led Chu Ci to Biyue's room.

Since Biyue lived in the side room next to the main residence, the two walked together in a short time.

Yunniang knocked on the door, and after a while, Biyue put on her clothes and got up to open the door.

When she saw Chu Ci standing gracefully outside the door, her expression changed instantly.Then he looked at Chu Ci in a daze, and said in a stiff tone, "Girl...you, why are you here!"

Chu Ci gave her a faint smile, "I heard from Yunniang that you were sick, and I happened to be fine, so I came to see you. How do you feel now?"

Bi Yue forced a smile, opened the door to invite Chu Ci to enter, clenched her fists, and said in a low voice, "After a night's rest, I'm almost recovered, and I should be able to serve the girl tomorrow."

Chu Ci sat down on the couch in the middle of the room, glanced at her calmly, and said, "There is no need to come back to serve in a hurry, your body is important."

Biyun nodded embarrassingly.

Chu Ci sat for a while, then got up and left.

Back in the dormitory, Yunniang frowned and complained to Chuci in a low voice, "Girl, sister Biyue doesn't look like she's feeling sick!"

Chu Ci smiled, "Maybe it's because I feel uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable?" Yun Niang looked surprised, not quite understanding.

Chu Ci didn't explain to her either.

Affected by the shocking horse incident yesterday, she is now very exhausted and just wants to have a good rest...

Yunniang saw that she was sleepy, and took the initiative to help her change her pajamas, and then helped her lie down on the bed.

The bed curtain was lowered slowly... Chu Ci slept for half a day.

She didn't wake up until the lights came on.

After opening her eyes, she looked blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar tent above her head. After thinking for a long time, she realized that this was the Langyue Residence of Nanjun Wangfu.

"...Yunniang!" Slowly sitting up from the bed, she called Yunniang's name.

Yun Niang heard it outside, and quickly came in to serve.

As the lamp was lit, the whole bedroom was immediately lit up.

She washed up under Yunniang's service, and had dinner before she fully recovered.

Ban Xia cleared away the dishes on the table.

Yun Niang looked at Chu Ci, and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Chu Ci shook her head, "No, follow me to the pharmacy!" After saying that, she got up and walked towards the pharmacy, Yunniang had to follow.

After arriving at the pharmacy, Yunniang lit the lamp and asked casually, "It's so late, what is the girl doing at the pharmacy?"

Chu Ci gently pressed his lower abdomen, and said in a low tone, "I want to make some anti-fetal pills."

Yun Niang's expression changed.She also knew what happened yesterday, and immediately understood the meaning of Chu Ci, and then said, "The servant girl is with the girl, if the girl has anything to do, just tell the servant girl!"

Chu Ci nodded, and then randomly assigned her some work of making medicine.

The master and the servant were very busy in the pharmacy, and they didn't prepare the Baotai pill until Haishi.

Chu Ci made ten bottles at a time, and after packing them, she took one bottle with her and gave Yunniang another bottle for future contingencies.

Yun Niang kept the medicine bottle carefully and properly, with a scorching light in her eyes.She deeply felt that Chu Ci's trust in her had returned.This time, she will never disappoint her master again.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In Qingya Mountain, Meng Jing was always with A-Xian.

He helped her bring Wang Qiusheng's coffin back to the mountain, and helped her bury the man's body in the ground.

A'Xian didn't want to be too far away from Wang Qiusheng's green tomb, so he asked the guards to build a bamboo building a hundred meters away for her to rest.

These days, the more he gets along with her, the more he understands her feelings for Wang Qiusheng - he clearly feels that she is no longer the sweetheart who belonged to him ten years ago. There is only one Wang Qiusheng.

When that man was alive, even if she forgot the whole world, she would not forget his name. As long as he appeared, she would see nothing else in her eyes.

Now that he is dead, she still only has his grave in her heart.

Day by day, she would rather look at his tombstone, dig soil and plant flowers and grass next to his grave, than look at him.

But, he couldn't leave her.

Because it was his choice and what he owed her.

Even if he stayed here with her, watched her miss other men day after day, and lived his whole life, he didn't have any complaints in his heart.

……

On this day, it is rare for Beijing to send pigeons to pass on letters.

After reading it, Han Zhe walked towards him quietly, presented a secret letter, and said in a low voice, "My lord, there is news from the mansion that Nanjun's mansion has issued another proposal to invite you to be a concubine."

"Really?" Meng Jing asked back, while her right hand hidden in her wide sleeve trembled violently.

"Should we still intercept this time?" Han Zhe asked.

Chu Ci's face appeared before Meng Jing's eyes.He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking, his voice was hoarse, and he said in a low voice, "No need."

Since she wants to marry so much, let her marry!

It turned out that he abandoned her and their child.

The last time I stopped him from asking for a seal, I thought he was obsessed.Do it again, but he can't do it.

His conscience does not allow him to repeatedly interfere in A-Xian's life after choosing her.This is not fair to her, nor is it fair to A-Xian.

The only thing he can give her now is freedom... Whether it is the freedom of the ends of the earth, or the freedom of choosing a new husband, he has to give her.

Han Zhe saw Meng Jing's various choices in his eyes.He sighed silently, watching him hold the secret letter tightly in his hand until the thin letter paper turned into powder... Then he opened his hand and let the powder blow in the wind.

Just like the brief relationship between him and Chu Ci.

One hundred days, whether it is long or not, is not short.

By the day of departure, it was almost spring and March.

After tidying up and saluting, Meng Jing went to the bamboo building to pick up A-Xian.

A-Xian was still wearing a plain dress, and she didn't look bright like a bride-to-be.

Meng Jing found it dazzling, but she couldn't say anything to make her change.

He reached out, took her hand, and led her step by step towards the carriage not far away.

Before getting in the car, A-Xian stopped suddenly. She raised her head, looked into his eyes, and gestured with her fingers with a serious face, "Brother Xingzhi, it's still too late. As long as you say no, our engagement will be cancelled... I I am willing to stay here to guard Brother Wang, and you can go after your A Ci..."

Meng Jing's complexion changed, and before she could finish speaking, she held her gesturing finger without hesitation and held it tightly.Then he looked at her and said firmly, "Ah Xian, what I said will not change! When I say I love you, I love you, and when I say I want to marry you, I really want to marry you! I only want you in this life! Intention is as firm as a rock, never shifting."

"...Even if I still have a brother Wang in my heart, do you still insist on me?" A-Xian smiled wryly, and after a long while, raised her head to look at his face and asked back.

Meng Jing looked at her with firm eyes.Her thin lips moved, and she said word by word, "Yes! I want you! Ah Xian, no matter who you have in mind, I want you!"

"... Well, I'll marry!" A-Xian closed her eyes, and finally nodded, "I'll marry! In this lifetime, as long as Brother Xingzhi stays with you, I will never give up!"

Meng Jing met her eyes, the corners of her eyes were sore, and couldn't bear it any longer, and hugged her tightly...

After a long time, the two separated.

Got into the car.

Meng Jing firmly held A'Xian's cold hand, her focused eyes never left her face for a moment.

After taking the medicine for so long, the scars on her face have completely disappeared, and her skin is so tender that water can be squeezed out.Looking at her face, Meng Jing could easily think of her ten years ago.

His determination to marry her became more determined.

Brisk all the way.

Ten days later, the carriage finally entered Beijing.

Because of the fact that Fei Ge sent a letter to the housekeeper to prepare for the wedding... When they returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion, the palace had already been redecorated, and the sky and the ground were covered in fiery red.

Meng Jing took A'Xian's hand and led her inside.Step by step, he could feel her hands sweating, and she was tense.

He couldn't help holding her hand even tighter, turned his head, looked at her beautiful side face, and comforted him gently, "Ah-Xian, don't be nervous, you will be the hostess of this palace from now on!"

Hearing what he said, A-Xian also looked sideways at him.Looking at each other, she nodded slowly, with a smile on her face.

Finally, at this moment, Wang Qiusheng was no longer the only one in her heart.What filled her heart and mind was Meng Jing from ten years ago.

At that time, they were childhood sweethearts and fell in love with each other when they were young. It was the time when honey was mixed with oil.

She had never been to Yunchao, and after the private life, he described Yunchao's wedding, Yunchao's buildings, Yunchao's wedding customs...and the color of the fiery wedding dress to her again and again.

Once, she thought that the fiery red was very close to her, so close that it was only a few feet away.

But she didn't expect that the two of them would be apart for ten years.

Ten years later, he was still him, but she was no longer her.

The two walked forward step by step.

Memories hit her wave after wave, and each wave was more heartbreaking.Tears welled up slowly from her eyes, winding down her cheeks.

Meng Jing heard a low sob coming from her nostrils.

He stopped again and looked at her nervously, "Ah-Xian, what's wrong with you?"

He caressed her face with some rough palms, and asked nervously while wiping her tears.

A-Xian looked at his handsome face with sharp edges and corners through blurry teary eyes, and after a while, she smiled.Then he shook his head slightly, and said with gestures, "It's nothing, brother Xingzhi, I'm just very happy!" I am happy that I still have ten miles of red makeup in my life, marrying him... a day to fulfill my teenage dream.

Meng Jing heard her say happy.With a sudden movement in my heart, I suddenly reached out and pulled her into my arms, hugging her tightly.

He rested his chin on her shoulder and promised her earnestly, "Ah-Xian, every day from now on, I will make you happy; I will help you fulfill every wish of yours; whatever you want to do I will do everything with you... until many years later, when we are all old, our teeth are all gone, and our faces are wrinkled... At that time, I will still be by your side..."

He spoke word for word.

A-Xian's tears flowed more and more fiercely, and finally, she nodded slightly.

Feeling her slight trembling, Meng Jing hugged her for a long time before letting her go.

Afterwards, he took her to see all the layout of the palace, and sent her to another courtyard himself.

At the gate of the other courtyard, when the two parted.

Looking at his receding figure, A-Xian couldn't help it for the first time, suddenly raised her skirt and ran towards him, rushed up and hugged his back.

Meng Jing didn't expect that she would catch up and hug her.

He broke free from her hand, turned around to look at her, couldn't help frowning, and asked worriedly, "Ah-Xian, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting weird today?"

A-Xian just smiled, looked into his eyes, and gestured with her hands, "It's the first time I'm a bride, so I'm not nervous... Besides, it's been so many days, and it's the first time I've been so far away from Brother Xingzhi... "

As she said this, Meng Jing's heart suddenly softened.

He raised his hand, gently rubbed her heartily, and then coaxed her with a smile, "Be patient, it's the last day, after tomorrow... we will never be separated again!"

Ah Yuan smiled and nodded.

She backed away slowly and stood behind the gate of the other courtyard, watching him turn around and walk away step by step.It wasn't until she could no longer see him that she burst into tears like rain...

A long and arduous night passed.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Meng Jing got up.

He changed into his wedding clothes and stared in front of the mirror for a long time... before turning around and leaving the bedroom door.

Outside, Han Zhe was already waiting, and he also changed into a stone blue guard uniform today.Seeing Meng Jing coming out, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Why did the prince wake up so early?"

Meng Jing looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "I don't know why, last night I always felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen... I didn't sleep well all night."

Han Zhe heard the words and persuaded, "Today is the day of the prince's great joy, and all the Qinglongguards are dispatched... The prince can relax, there will definitely be no surprises."

Meng Jing nodded.

At the end of the hour, the team from the Prince Regent's Mansion went to the other courtyard to welcome the relatives.

After arriving in the other courtyard, because they were all from her own family, Meng Jing quickly received the bride.

Only now did his heart relax.

After walking around the capital for two full laps, it was almost dusk before he led the welcoming team towards the Prince Regent's Mansion...

After arriving at the Prince Regent's Mansion, it happened to be Youshi.

Standing at the gate of the palace, he pulled away the bow and arrows handed over by the guards, and shot three feathered arrows at the crossbeam in the middle of the sedan chair one by one...

The arrows were accurate... There was cheering all around.

Afterwards, he walked forward, bent down and pulled A'Xian out of the sedan chair.

The two of them stepped over the brazier and steps, and walked towards the Xitang step by step... Every step, Meng Jing walked extremely solemnly.

The same is true for Ah Yuan on the side.She held Meng Jing's hand tightly, and every step seemed to be stepping on her own heart, both joyful and heartbroken.

"Brother Xingzhi..." She silently said his name in her heart, over and over again.

Finally, the two came to the wedding hall.

Today, the official of the Ministry of Rites presided over the wedding ceremony—the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He was wearing a red auspicious suit and stood in the center of the hall.After Meng Jing and A-Xian stood opposite each other, she stretched her voice and said, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

Meng Jing and Ah Xian knelt down slowly, and bowed three times towards the outside of the wedding hall.

"Second worship to the high hall!" The Minister of Rites sang again.

Meng Jing and A'Xian bowed three times to the expressionless Concubine Yun who was pressed in front of the hall.

……

"Bye husband and wife!"

Finally came the last prayer.

Meng Jing turned around and faced Ah Yuan.Ah Yuan also turned towards Meng Jing.

Then, Meng Jing lifted her red robe, and knelt down gracefully and gracefully.

But A-Xian on the other side seemed to have been cast with a fixing spell, and remained silent for a long while.

"... Ah Xian!" Meng Jing sensed something was wrong, and couldn't help reminding her in a low voice.

But A-Xian still didn't intend to kneel down.

Seeing this, Meng Jing panicked. He looked up at the red veil on her head, through the red veil, saw her shadowy face, and reminded again in a trembling voice, "Ah-Xian, kneel down! And Last prayer!"

As long as this prayer is completed, they will be husband and wife for life.No one can separate them again.

But A-Xian just refused to move.

Meng Jing was in a hurry, and was about to wink at Han Zhe who was at the side.But before Han Zhe could be found, A-Xian spoke first.

Her voice was hoarse, without any warning, she suddenly called out in a low voice—"Brother Xingzhi!" At the same time, she pulled hard, and the red hijab on her head fell off completely.

There were tears in her eyes, but she looked at Meng Jing with a very cold gaze, her red lips moved, and she said calmly, "I'm sorry, brother Xingzhi, I can't marry you!"
