Yijuan cloud

Chapter 113 Can't Wait
From Fujian to Shangjing, it takes about four to five days.

Because there were women accompanying him, he was not in a hurry and walked for a full week before reaching the outskirts of Shangjing.

The terrain outside the city is vast, and you can see the tall city walls from a long distance, as silent as a mountain under the cloudless blue sky.

At noon, the sun hung brightly in the sky, making the weeping willows on the roadside look listless.

Summer has just begun, and the wind blowing has already made people unbearably hot.

I lowered the curtains and shook the fan.

Linghuayuan also took a fan to help me fan myself. Seeing that I was fanning myself, he took a handkerchief to wipe my sweat and said, "You are really afraid of the heat. It has only been a few months and it's really the dog days. How about that?" Come on?"

When she mentioned it, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although it was due to the hot weather, it was mostly due to the restlessness in my heart.

I thought to myself, I had thought about this day before, why am I still so restless?
My heart was beating so hard for no reason. I was afraid that even Linghua could hear my heartbeat. I quickly took a deep breath and stroked the cool turquoise beads, and then my mind gradually calmed down.

But the longing in my heart became more and more clear, intense, and almost impatient.

I'm not surprised. When I think about someone, it seems like my heart is already in that person's body.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Linghua opened a corner of the curtain and took a look and said, "Master got off the carriage. Who are you talking to?"

Before fleeing from Yangzhou, my father had never been anywhere else. The only people he interacted with were fellow villagers. Did he have any acquaintances in Beijing?

While I was wondering, the voice of Aunt Xue's personal maid Xiangtong came from outside the carriage: "My uncle-to-be is here to greet us. The master and his wife are waiting in front. The wife told my aunt to call and tell the eldest lady Sheng'er, and she also told the eldest lady to just go ahead. There’s nothing for the young lady to worry about in the carriage.”

My heart skipped a beat, thinking that the prince is here!
Soon, the carriage continued to drive, and the sound of the wheel was as old as before.

Linghua shook her fan and said with a smile: "The prince treats the girl so well that he actually came to welcome the girl's family outside the city."

I stretched out my hand to gently lift the curtain, but Linghua grabbed my hand and let go.

She pursed her lips and smiled.

I glanced at her and said calmly: "Why are you laughing? I was just looking outside." As I said that, I opened a corner again.

In front of the motorcade, a man in a purple shirt was riding on a tall white horse. Although he was far away, he could not hide his extraordinary demeanor.

He suddenly looked back and couldn't see his face clearly, but I seemed to feel his gaze, so I hurriedly closed the curtains and sat calmly as if nothing had happened, with my heart beating like a drum.The carriage stopped in front of a house, and a small sedan with a soft top was waiting for it.

Several other maids, servants, and boys saw me getting off the carriage and rushed to greet me. They helped me get into the sedan and walked into the house.

After walking for a while, the servant woman came over and opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped me get out of the sedan chair.

In front of him was a big room with a stone screen in the middle of the small courtyard. Several maids were sitting on the steps, and they all came to greet them and said:

"The girl is here. I have already packed everything and am waiting for the girl to come."

After bathing, I changed my clothes and came out. I saw Xiang Tong also coming and said, "Miss, please go to the main room. Madam, please come over. The prince has talked with the master and has returned."

Once we get engaged, we can no longer see each other.

he's gone.

In the evening, Jin Niang and Aunt Xue sat in my room for a long time, both lamenting that I was so lucky.

But Jinniang cried a few times and said: "Madam, I said before that Juan Yun didn't want to marry a high-ranking family. To avoid being wronged in the past, just find a son-in-law with good character and good looks. Even if he is poorer, he won't be married." Come on, it would be great if the couple could live a peaceful life. Now, they have become a royal family member. Cirrus doesn't like to be restrained anymore. Although she was a concubine in the past, she has no idea how to live her life. What is it like?"

Aunt Xue said: "Our Juan Yun will be a serious concubine in the future, and the prince values ​​​​it, so we will naturally live a glorious life. My sister said that, I really feel that the emperor hoeed the ground with a golden hoe, our Juan Yun has been pampered since childhood. If a rich young lady really wants to be married to a poor boy, the two of them may not be able to get along well."

"Besides, in this age, we still have some foundations like before, but we are still extremely poor and have left our hometowns, let alone those ordinary people? My sister has also met my uncle-to-be today. He is handsome in appearance, elegant in conversation, and a dignified person. Your Majesty, you don’t have any airs at all, oh, no wonder the girl likes it, I can’t find anything wrong with it, it’s really the girl’s good fortune.”

After seeing the two of them off, I sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze.

Linghua untied my bun and said with a chuckle: "Both ladies from the girl's family seem to be easy to get along with. Mrs. Jin seems to be virtuous, pure and kind at first glance. She treats the girl like her own mother."

"Jin Niang has served my mother since she was a child. My mother married into the Lin family. She was a dowry maid, and later became my father's concubine. Since my mother became pregnant with me, Jin Niang has taken care of me. Youting and I can also be regarded as Jin Niang. Raised by my mother.”

I sighed and added: "If my mother were still here, maybe she would be like Jin Niang and not really want me to marry into the prince's house..."

"Why?" came a deep voice.

I was so startled that I suddenly turned my head and saw Prince Yi walking in with a smile.
