The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 20

Mrs. Qin learned about her son's meeting with Luo Shu from her daughter, and felt a little more at ease. When she returned to the Qin Mansion that night, the mother couldn't help asking about her son.

Mrs. Qin straight to the point, "Mother met a girl at your uncle's house today, your aunt's niece, named Luo Shu, have you met?"

Due to the unpleasant atmosphere in the dinner room in the past few days, Qin Yuan has been very wary of his mother recently, thinking that as long as his mother speaks for no reason, she will definitely propose marriage, but now it really does.As soon as he heard his mother's question, he immediately understood that the encounter with that Miss Luo in the garden today was deliberately done by someone.

He pretended not to understand, and gave a faint "hmm".

She turned her head and glanced at the little girl beside her, but Qin Lian ignored his gaze at all, and continued to eat by herself like an outsider.

Seeing that her son did not deny it, Mrs. Qin thought she had hope, and said further, "Mother looks very good, what do you think?"

"How about what?" He continued to pretend to be confused.

Mrs. Qin stared, "What are you talking about! Of course, you are asking if you are satisfied with the girl."

Her voice slowed down, and she calmed down and said: "That girl has a good appearance, upbringing and family background, mother looks like a good match for you, if you are satisfied, mother will ask someone to see a good day tomorrow, and let your father take you there Luo Mansion, first decide on the marriage, Miss Luo is not very old, if you want to delay the marriage for a while, you can do it."

As soon as such clear words came out, Qin Yuan knew that he couldn't hide anymore, and he expected that he would offend his mother, so he simply told the truth, "Mother, I just saw him for the first time today, and you think so much, son... I really don't have that idea. Besides, as you said, she is still young, so I can only treat such a young girl as my younger sister!"

Although her son was stubborn, Mrs. Qin once again suppressed her anger and tried to persuade her, "What happened to the first meeting? Back then, mother and your father got married after only meeting once. How are things going well now? You said you I still want to work hard in the yamen, so my mother found a young one for you, at least I can afford to wait! Besides... I heard your aunt said that people have a lot of thoughts for you, as the saying goes Zhongliu, are you not in a hurry to see those good girls being married off one by one?"

But Qin Yuan remained silent.

Mrs. Qin sighed deeply, and finally brought up the matter she didn't want to mention again in a low voice, "Didn't you think of Wenwen as a younger sister at the beginning, and what happened afterwards? Nianxiu, say a thousand words and ten thousand, then The family is gone, we have to live well, right..."

"Father and mother, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

The scar on his heart was uncovered, Qin Yuan couldn't sit still any longer, he directly said goodbye in a deep voice, hurriedly left the dinner table, and strode out.

The mother knew the difficulty in her son's heart, but she had to say something sooner or later. Seeing that Qin Yuan chose to escape again, Mrs. Qin sighed deeply again, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mu, who had been silent all this time, felt turmoil in his heart.

He understood Qin Yuan's thoughts.In the past, he stopped his wife to urge him because he was still thinking about the missing Yue Wen.He thought that since Wenwen might still be alive, the marriage contract between him and his elder brother would still be valid, and since his son couldn't let go, he would wait until he finds Wenwen one day, and arrange the marriage of the two children. I did my best to my elder brother's family.

But when he knew that Yue Wen had already turned into Chu Xue, he felt relieved that Wen Wen had never been able to be with Qin Yuan, and the engagement was still void.

The less people know about Yue Wen's current identity, the better, so after meeting Chu Lin that day, he made up his mind not to tell his son. After all, it was just a relationship in his youth. He believed that one day, Qin Yuan would let it go.

He knew that Qin Yuan was an affectionate child, but since things were impossible, as a father, he still hoped that his son would come out sooner.

He believed in his wife's eyes, this Miss Luo family should be pretty good, besides, her father is still the Minister of the Household Department who has always been relatively neutral in the court...

Qin Mu caressed his wife's hand, and persuaded slowly: "Don't worry, since the girl is still young, let Nianxiu think about it first, and I will talk to him someday."

Seeing that her husband, who was not very interested in her son's marriage, also spoke, Mrs. Qin finally felt better. The son always worshiped his father and listened to his father's words very much. If the father went to persuade him, things should turn around.

Mrs. Qin nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

Yanzhou.

Since the beginning of winter, the days seem to be running fast.

Towards evening, Song Chen, who had been busy all day, put down his pen and picked up the next document sent from Weizhou. His eyes hurriedly glanced at the texts reporting the progress of the Tongji Canal, but his last glance stopped at the date of inscription.

The eighth day of November.

November?He vaguely remembered as if there was a day in November, where did he seem to see it?
Ning Mei thought for a while, then he suddenly remembered that it was Chu Xue's birthday, November [-]th, which he saw on the red paper when he was in the capital in summer.

He paused, and asked the attendants in the room, "Today is November..."

"Twelve." The waiter with a wink came to understand, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, today is the twelfth of November."

Just in time, the corner of his lips curved.

Looking at the dark sky outside the window, he put down the paperwork in his hand and got up, "Come here first today, go to Wantang Garden."

The waiter hurriedly bent over and walked a few steps to open the door.

Opening the thick cotton curtain, a gust of cold wind hits the face, and there seems to be some moisture in it. After careful identification, he finds that it is some extremely shattered ice. Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, he smiled. Today, God In due course, I want to make Xueer's birthday even better.

The food has just been put on the table at Wan Tang Yuan, seeing that there is no messenger from the front yard today to report that the lord is coming to eat, the small kitchen prepares the meal earlier than usual.Just as Chu Xue was about to take her seat, she suddenly heard the announcement from outside the courtyard that Song Chen was coming. She was a little surprised and hurriedly got up to greet her.

When he reached the door, he saw that the cotton curtain had been lifted from the outside, and the man in the purple brocade robe came in.She saluted in surprise, "Why is the prince here suddenly?"

"Well, I'm tired today, so I came here early, have you eaten yet?" Song Chen helped her, while looking at the dining table, his brows frowned, and asked: "Why don't you have noodles?"

Chu Xue took his robe and asked with a smile, "Your lord wants to eat noodles? The concubine asked the kitchen to prepare quickly."

He looked at her with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether I eat or not, but you want to eat!"

She couldn't help being puzzled, but when she saw the smile in his eyes, she suddenly understood, and said with a warm smile, "I've eaten at noon."

"Really?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

Song Chen felt relieved, led her to sit at the table, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, cleaned her hands, and started eating.

While eating, Chu Xue looked at him with a sideways smile, "How did the prince know?"

He looked back, "When I saw your birthday, I remembered it."

A faint sentence suddenly touched the heartstrings, and she smiled sweetly, from the heart.

After leisurely eating, Song Chen put down the warm tea in his hand, and asked the maidservant who was going in and out to remove the dishes, "How is it outside? Is it snowing?"

A servant girl replied immediately, "Going back to the lord, I've already turned white."

Chu Xue, who hadn't been out of the room since the evening, looked surprised, "It's snowing? When did it fall?"

"It was a little bit when I came here just now, and now is a good time, how about it, do you want to go out and have a look?" Song Chen answered her gently, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were full of temptation.

She nodded happily, and turned to get the cloak.

After a while, the two of them had come to the big garden of the palace hand in hand.It only fell for half an hour, and it was the first snow of this winter, so the flakes were not too big, and both of them were wearing cloaks, so they didn't need to use umbrellas. In the endless night, the two cuddled together and walked forward slowly.

Yanling and Lu Fang, who were accompanying them, followed behind them not far away.

Yanzhou is farther north than the capital city, so the winter will be colder, but at the same time there will be more snow.Usually throughout the whole winter, there are only two or three snowfalls in the capital, but I heard that there will be more than twice as many snowfalls in Yanzhou as in the capital.Chu Xue likes to watch the snow fall, and she is also looking forward to the winter in Yanzhou, but this year is a bit strange. Seeing that it has been a month and a half since winter, God is willing to send this first snow.

The girl had been looking forward to it for a long time. Seeing the fluttering snowflakes and stepping on the flat white velvet snow, she was very excited. She held Song Chen's arm with one hand and stretched out the other hand to welcome the falling snow. The smile is also very bright.

Song Chen also kept looking at her with a warm smile in his eyes.

The palace is big, and the garden is naturally big. It took nearly half an hour to walk around the lake, and a circle of footprints were stepped on the fluffy snow.Seeing that the falling snowflakes were getting thicker and thicker, Song Chen asked with a smile, "Have you enjoyed it? Go back when you've seen enough, and be careful not to catch a cold if you get wet."

I don't know whether it was because of the cold or because of excitement, Chu Xue's little face was already flushed, she nodded with satisfaction, and the two of them walked back along the way they came.

"It seems that God will give you a gift, just in time for your birthday to send a snow, to make this king's beauty so happy." Song Chen looked at the girl beside him and said with a half-smile.

The girl paused in her heart.

Today is the real sister Chu Xue's birthday, and Yue Wen's birthday is actually in spring, but after so many years, she has already lived as someone else, using someone else's name, celebrating someone else's birthday...

Putting her thoughts away, she suppressed the mist in her eyes, and told other people's stories in a soft voice, "Does the lord know why my concubine is called Chu Xue? Because when my concubine was born, the capital was falling for the first time of that winter." Xue, my father took the meaning of Chuxue, so I named my concubine Xue."

"It turns out that the king still wants to thank the first snow for sending such a good girl to the king." He stopped and looked at the girl's black eyes and said softly.

She also looked back at his pair of gentle eyes.For a moment, she really wanted to tell him that the girl in front of him was actually born in the gorgeous sunset after a spring rain, and her name was Wen...

But she couldn't.

If she were Yue Wen, she shouldn't live in this world, let alone meet him.

After a while, she just smiled and said softly: "Has anyone ever said that the prince is good at complimenting people? Compliments make people's hearts sweeter than honey."

Looking at the beauty's alluring eyes, his heart suddenly moved, he stretched out his hand to put her in his arms, and lowered his head to hold those seductive lips.

She froze at first, and then slowly responded to the lips and tongue that had been invaded by him, and her body softened, and she involuntarily raised her arms to wrap around his neck.

She was like a vine, slowly wrapping around him who stood tall and proud like a tree.

He is like a high mountain, bending down gently, shielding her from the wind and snow in his arms.

Yan Ling behind her hurriedly turned around, but when she saw that Lu Fang on the side was dumb and didn't respond, she was still standing forward, and hurriedly urged in a low voice: "Lord Lu, turn around."

"Huh?" Lu Fang, who was like a wooden stake, didn't know why.

Yanling was in a hurry, and without thinking about it, he did it himself, and he just pulled his arm and turned him around.

The young guard froze for the first time being touched by the little girl, and after a while, Fang asked in confusion, "Why did you turn around?"

Yan Ling was speechless.But it seemed that he was really confused, and after thinking about it, he realized that although these guards usually guard the prince closely, they are not allowed to enter the backyard easily. If you don't know how to avoid it, you can understand it.

She then coughed lightly and blushed and explained in a low voice, "That... the masters are... when we are kissing, we have to avoid it..."

Hearing the girl's long series of stuttering explanations, the young guard finally understood after reacting for a while, only coughed twice and said nothing more.

Fortunately, it was in the darkness that the girl next to her didn't notice the slight redness on that handsome face...

In fact, it is not to blame for Lu Fang's dullness, the two masters are wearing thick cloaks, although there are lights around the garden, but they are not close to each other, based on the distance between them, in the eyes of the guards, the masters just stopped and moved a little closer For some, the specific action cannot be distinguished at all.In addition, I really don't have much experience, and it is understandable that I made a mistake in judgment for a while.

The deep kiss in the snow not far away ended in Song Chen's reluctance.

He suppressed his lust and let go, looked at the beauty who was also panting, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How are you today?"

Chu Xue blushed even more.

She knew what he was asking, the seven-day menstruation ended this morning.

And he endured it for seven days.

She nodded slightly, lowered her eyes and hummed.

He was overjoyed, taking advantage of the increasingly blazing flames on his body, he quickly led the beauty into the room.
