When Qiu 'er arrived at Yongming Restaurant, Leng Shuiyun had yet to arrive. She sat in the private room and recalled what had happened just now. It felt like a dream. It was clearly a joyous occasion. Why were Master, Madam, and Eldest Miss unhappy?
Just as Eldest Young Miss and she were about to leave, Furen's personal servant girl rushed over and told them to quickly go to the front to receive the imperial edict. Qiu 'er was so happy about the imperial edict. Why…She was so happy that she heard the mahogany door of the private room being pushed open. She looked up and saw her Second Miss walking in wearing a light yellow brocade dress. Eh, why did I remember that Miss was wearing a man's outfit when she went out?
When Leng Shuiyun pushed the door open and entered, she saw Qiu 'er sitting alone on a chair. She didn't see her elder sister. She pulled Qiu' er over to ask. She said a lot of things, but I only heard the main point. The emperor had decreed that the Cold Water Lingzhi, my dearest elder sister, should only be given to the crown prince.
His face instantly darkened, and his mind was still dizzy from the shock of Qiu 'er's message. When Leng Shuiyun woke up, the first thing she did was to pull Qiu 'er away. When she turned around, she said," Everyone, I'm sorry. Shui Yun has returned to the residence." Wuyin, I owe you this meal. I'll treat you another time.”
Qiu 'er wondered why even the Second Young Miss was so flustered after hearing about this great news.
She entered the residence and went straight to her sister's room. She saw that her parents were also there. His mother held his sister's hand tightly. They turned around when they heard the sound. Leng Shuiyun saw her father's helpless face, as well as her mother and sister's tearful faces. On the small couch, a bright yellow scroll was placed on it and opened. She stepped forward and picked it up. On it was clearly written," In accordance with the will of heaven, the Emperor has decreed that Leng Shuizhi, the daughter of General Wei Zhen, is virtuous, generous, gentle, honest, and outstanding. The Empress and I are very happy to hear it. The position of the female master of the East Palace has been vacant for many years. When the virtuous daughter enters the palace, it happens that Shui Zhi is waiting for the word in her boudoir. She and the prince can be said to be a match made in heaven. She is a beautiful woman. I specially give you to the prince as the princess and live in the East Palace. All the etiquette would be left to the Ministry of Rites, and the wedding would be held on a good day. I'm honored."
Leng Shuiyun didn't say anything for a long time after reading it. Madam Leng broke the silence with a sob," Master, it's actually a good thing. The Leng family will be the royal family from now on and bring honor to their ancestors."”She wiped away the tears on her eldest daughter's face and said," Zhi 'er, when the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, you will be the Empress. How many women will be envious of you?"
"Mother, I…I don't want to be an empress. I just want to live an ordinary life.”
After hearing her daughter's words, Madam Leng could not help but cry.
Leng Shuiyun left her sister's room and left the residence once again to wander the streets. Her heart was in a mess.
Not long after Leng Shuiyun left, Lan Xuanhan saw his elder brother step into Yongming Restaurant. He quickly ran down and heard from Leng Shuiyun's servant that his father had issued an edict. Sigh, he had to ask.
"Big brother." He ran to Lan Xuanmo and bowed.
"Why are you here?" Lan Xuanmo thought to himself, Why can't I have some peace and quiet? I can even catch up with this Third Brother for a meal.
Lan Xuanhan followed the crown prince into the private room and carefully ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. Lan Xuanmo felt a layer of goosebumps on his body when he was stared at by him. He shivered and asked," Third Brother, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't play with me like you did when you were young."”
Lan Xuanhan chuckled." Big Brother, I heard that Father has issued a decree?”
"You brat, your news is really fast." Yes, after the court session today, Imperial Father sent Eunuch Gui Zi to the Leng residence to read out the imperial edict.
"Not at all, not at all. This little brother is afraid that it's fake. Otherwise, why would he hurry to ask big brother when he sees him? There are many liars in this era. Big brother, are you looking forward to sister-in-law entering the house? After all, she's a beauty, and she's virtuous and gentle. Little brother is envious.”Lan Xuanhan snickered. No matter how virtuous Leng Shuiyun's sister was, how virtuous could she be?
"It doesn't matter if she's virtuous or not. I'm only marrying a daughter-in-law that my parents approve of.”Lan Xuanmo's words carried some loneliness.
Soon, all the dishes were served, and Lan Xuanmo drank alone. Lan Xuanhan looked out the window from time to time.
Leng Shuiyun walked on the street in a daze. She did not even notice that she had walked to Yongming Restaurant. She remembered that day when she had lunch with him here. The atmosphere was still considered harmonious. She couldn't help but look up at the private room by the window. She was shocked to find that he was still sitting in the same seat, looking down at her from upstairs.
Lan Xuanhan looked into the distance and was a little tired. He shifted his gaze to the street and a light yellow figure appeared in front of him. The owner of the figure looked up for some reason until she saw him and a stunned expression flashed across her face. He smiled. She got up and said goodbye to her eldest brother who was drinking alone, then went downstairs to look for her.
She watched as he mouthed the words " wait for me " to her before disappearing from the window. Leng Shuiyun knew that he had come down to look for her, so she stood where she was and waited. As expected, he appeared in front of her.
Lan Xuanmo, who was left behind upstairs, put down his wine glass. What did No. 3 see? Why did he leave in such a hurry? He looked downstairs curiously and soon saw No. 3 walking to a woman in light yellow clothes. It was unknown what he said, but the woman nodded slightly. It was also unknown what he said, but the woman shook her head again. It was also unknown what he said, but the woman actually flew into a rage. She seemed to be angry. She turned around and ignored Third Brother, letting Third Brother talk non-stop behind her.
If she hadn't turned around, Lan Xuanmo might not have noticed her appearance. However, when she turned around, Lan Xuanmo could see her clearly. Her peerless beauty could still be seen clearly even from a distance. Her eyebrows were like mountains, her face was like a lotus, and her figure was as light and graceful as a weak willow. Then, he saw the beautiful figure leave.
When Lan Xuanhan entered, his brother asked," Who is that woman?"”
"She is the future Crown Princess 'twin sister.”Lan Xuanhan didn't hide anything and said truthfully," Her sister is much stronger than her. How can there be such a fierce woman like her?"”
After Lan Xuanmo heard Third Brother's words, he had a trace of anticipation in his heart. He hoped that his Crown Princess Consort could be as beautiful as her.
