Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 663 Farewell
The crowd dispersed automatically, and a boulevard covered with red carpet appeared in front of us.

The noisy bells and drums stopped suddenly, and only the iron armor clanged in the four directions, which brought a murderous aura to the streets in the soft light of the sun.

Zhao Xi slightly raised his head and looked over.

This scene was like a picture scroll, deeply engraved in her heart.

Under the city gate, the emperor paid attention.

Under the city gate, all people admire it.

The officers and men waited in full force, and all the officials kowtowed to the ground, while he clung to the reins and rode his horse slowly.

Today is the grand ceremony. He is wearing a crown robe that symbolizes the identity of the crown prince. He is dressed in black and red, without any decorations on his body. There are only two colors of red and black in sight.

Against the light, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she only felt that he was majestic.

His figure was as tall and straight as a pine, and he was dressed in black and red, without the gold embroidery and accessories, without the usual brilliance, but still as bright and eye-catching.

He just sat on the steed, like a flame in the dark night, and like a flower in the abyss, without saying a word, never leaving.

Zhao Xiwei stood on the spot, looked at him for a long time, wanted to say something, but in the end he just bowed his head slightly, squatted down on his knees, and said in a low voice, "All blessings, Your Highness."

Li Xuanye pulled the reins abruptly.

The horse under the seat neighed, and its front hooves were raised high.

"Oops—" the surrounding crowd let out a low cry, and dispersed like the wind blowing willows.

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked up the city gate.

The emperor, queen mother, Jiuqing, and concubines in the harem all watched from above.

Naturally, there is no room for any mistakes in such a grand expedition ceremony.

Against the light and far away, she couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, but she could tell from the gasps all around, as well as the sound of bowing their heads and whispering to each other. This scene is a little... too unorthodox.

Zhao Xiwei thought he was calm enough, but he still couldn't bear to be watched by thousands of people, so he retracted his chin and looked at the ground.

Immediately, there was a chuckle suddenly, and Zhao Xiwei raised his eyes without knowing why.

The sun is shining and the spring breeze is warm.

Under the gaze of the emperor and his subjects, he held out a palm to her.

Zhao Xiwei was unprepared and could only stare at him blankly, neither asking nor reaching out to pick him up.

The four eyes are facing each other, one is half squatting on the ground, and the other is sitting high on the horse.

From less than two feet away, she could see the soft light in his eyes, and he could clearly see the shadows under her eyelashes.

As if capturing her concerns, he half-bent down from the horse, his fingertips almost touched her shoulders, and was about to help her up himself, but he only touched her cloth lightly, and then quickly slid to the top of her head, then raised her hand slightly, and said in a light tone, "Get up."

"Yes." Zhao Xi responded slightly, and when he was about to flatten his body, he didn't know whether he had squatted for too long or got up too hastily, his eyes suddenly went dark, a feeling of top-heavy came over his body, his body suddenly lost weight, and his whole body shook involuntarily a bit.

When the strong wind hit, Li Xuanye, who was on horseback, swung his sleeves and grabbed her waist.

This hug was very restrained but also impulsive.

There was another booing from the crowd.

Even some old ministers with white beards have begun to discuss.

"It's a major matter for the military, and the battle is imminent, how can you return the favor!"

"Yes, in broad daylight, how decent it is!"

Fortunately, Zhao Xiwei was only dizzy for a moment, and then he could see the light again, and Li Xuanye, who was supporting her, pressed her palm gently on her waist, and after confirming that she was fine, he let go hand.

I don't know if it was the emperor who couldn't stand it anymore, or Feng Lilang himself couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please go, Your Highness the Crown Prince—"

The drums sounded again, and accompanied by the high-pitched and passionate sound of the trumpet, the chariots and horses in front were urged to move, and the soldiers came out slowly.

All the people shouted in unison, and the wide street suddenly fell into jubilation.

Li Xuanye straightened his back, held the rein with one hand, and looked firmly into the distance.

Is this going?
Only then did Zhao Xiwei remember that he was the one who asked him to come here today.

Did you ask yourself to come over and take a look?
After being so puzzled for a while, the man on the horse turned his face slightly, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and in a tone that only she could hear, he said slowly: "When I come back, I will give you an answer. "

"Answer?"

Zhao Xi was slightly startled.

The banners were rolled up, and they were flying like flying. He pulled the reins, and the horse under his seat raised its front hooves.

The spring breeze was blowing gently, brushing his sleeves, and touching her cheek, she could still smell the familiar fragrance from his body.

The guard who was in charge of maintaining order ran over and spread his arms to separate the common people from the soldiers, so as to ensure the smooth passage of His Royal Highness' team.

Zhao Xiwei stood on the side of the road blankly, seeing him raise his long whip, the horse was like a shooting star, and it was about to gallop into the distance in an instant.

It seems that they are about to pass by.

This time, the mountains are high and the water is long, and the sun and the moon are thousands of miles away.

There was a sudden pain in my heart, and my vision suddenly blurred.

She took a quick step forward.

As if there was a feeling from his heart, the horse stopped suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head and looked over.

"Zhao Xiwei." He was two feet away, but as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, his brows were cold, like stars in a dark night, staring at her without blinking.

Zhao Xiwei didn't care about the discussions around him, so he just ran over with his skirt in hand and stood beside him.

She heard her voice tense and dry, and asked directly: "The answer His Highness just said... what is the answer?"

Li Xuanye only looked at her, and there seemed to be a thousand words in those eyes, but in the end he just smiled and said softly: "I will know when I come back—"

"..." Zhao Xi sighed slightly.

How could this man be so conceited?
It's this time, if you don't make it clear, you won't have a chance to make it clear, she frowned, interrupted him angrily, and said in a low voice: "You called me here just to say this?"

"..." Now it was Li Xuanye's turn to be silent.

But he was only silent for a while, then nodded slightly, and answered briefly: "Yes."

Zhao Xiwei suddenly became even angrier.

I don't know why, although she didn't imagine that there would be a difficult parting between you and me, but she was so anxious to ask her to come here, just for this one sentence?

When the words came out of his mouth, the calm, restrained, and strategizing state still made her feel hopeless and being played.

Knowing that this was the real him, and knowing that there was nothing wrong with him saying that, she still couldn't help feeling angry.

She's very busy, okay?
If she hadn't thought that he had something important to explain, and something important to say, she wouldn't have come here to see him under the pressure of being scrutinized by thousands of people...

Just as he was muttering, he suddenly leaned over quickly, the corners of his lips were almost close to her ears, and his voice was gentle and solemn: "About your status, about your marriage, about your father, and even about your background—what do you care about?" Everything, when I come back, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Zhao Xiwei's body shook slightly, and he reacted suddenly.

Answer……

She questioned him, Zhao Ziyi, and even Shen Yuqing in her dream.
