Wishful Things

The queen was dragged away by him, and there was a momentary blank in her mind.

this……

so fast?

Are you going to ask her father to agree?

But she didn't even have time to apologize...

I thought that he had suffered for so many years, and this anger must not be so easy to dissipate——

She still has a lot of ready words to say.

She made amends to him today, just as if it would take a long time to make amends...

One month, one year, two years...

As long as she is willing!

Or maybe it is impossible to go back to the past no matter what, even if one day he dissipates, the two of them can only be strangers in the end - she has thought about all these!

But now...

But now...

Lowering her eyes to look at the hand holding her wrist, her eyes turned red in an instant, and tears gushed out almost instantly.

She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't shed such turbulent tears.

At this moment, looking at this hand, she was no longer uncertain, his intentions, his firmness... never changed.

There is no need to say the rest of the words, and there is no need to ask any more.

In that instant, her heart settled down, like a person who has been walking alone in the dark night, rain and snow for a long time, who thought he had nowhere to go, and finally returned home after tossing and turning, and was finally able to take off her cold clothes and sit around the stove to warm up , There are hot tea and warm soup to warm the body, there are soft couch to live in, and there are bright lights to drive away the darkness.

No longer cold, no longer afraid!

She pulled her hand up vigorously.

Xu Yun only felt that she was holding his palm with her soft fingers when she was about to break free and hold it tighter.

Xu Yun paused slightly, and his voice softened: "...Why are your hands so cold? But the illness is not fully healed yet?"

As he spoke, he released her temporarily, raised his hand to take off the cloak on his body, and wrapped it around her: "I blame me for being careless, I actually forgot about this."

Empress, no, Wu Jingying——

Wu Jingying looked up at him, shook her head, her voice was hoarse but she smiled: "Okay, it's all over. Qinghu, thank you."

Not just this cape.

She had too much to thank him for.

"Thank you." Xu Yun raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said with some amusement, "Why are you crying?"

"I was thinking, why...why did I tell you to wait all these years."

She was clearly so wrong that she disappeared from the agreement between the two without saying a word——

For this matter, if it were a man, he would probably be scolded so badly that he couldn't hold his head up.

Xu Yun shook his head, looked at her, his hoarse voice was like fine wine that had been stored for many years: "When you were young, mispayments in this world were rare and not worth mentioning. Aying, you have nothing to worry about. Sorry about my place. Even if I am willing to wait and waste, it is my own choice, not forced by you, not to mention...you have suffered much more than me these years."

No matter what is on his mind, he just lies down and sleeps, he doesn't have to worry about everything, he can do as he pleases.

But she is different.

She is alone in the palace, like walking on thin ice, thinking and planning everywhere, she must maintain a dignified posture at all times, without revealing the slightest flaw, in order to deal with everyone and everything.

And in terms of state of mind, compared to him, she suffered a lot more.

He didn't want to care about what other people thought about this matter, he only knew that he felt sorry for his Ah Ying.

There is no need for others to judge whether his situation in the past ten years is worth it or not. Whether it's the so-called disadvantage or unfairness, he doesn't want to care about it anymore.

certainly--

"If you really feel sorry for me, it's easy." Xu Yun shook his hand again, and said, "Marry me as a wife, and the past will be erased from now on."

After that, we only talked about the future, not the past.

Wu Jingying held back her tears and nodded to him: "Okay."

She thought she had been numb in the palace all these years, and what she saw was really a chaotic world. She was immersed in it, and she seemed to have become that kind of person——

But he seems to have never changed, pure, fiery, and stubborn.

She has been thinking recently, is it possible for them to get together again?

Now she has an answer.

Compared to is it still possible, she just felt at this moment——why not?

What is right and wrong, hard to come back, time has changed, is it worth it, is it worth it... Others are others, they are them! How to choose, how to live, don't follow any rules!

It is clear that we can still be together, and each other needs to be redeemed by the other to be complete, why do we have to fulfill our regrets?

There are already too many regrettable things in this world, and there is no shortage of them.

What was placed in front of them back then was the wrong time——

And now, the time is right.

To be a human being is to cherish blessings. If you don't grasp the right timing, you may not be able to easily find your blessings in the future.

"Let's go."

The two held hands tightly and moved forward.

"Qinghu, I'm afraid my father won't agree..."

Many years ago, there was a girl who said the same thing under the moonlight, verbatim.

At that time, the boy beside him answered like this——

"Don't be afraid, I will ask the prince until he agrees."

——At this moment, Xu Yun still said so.

The two found the residence of King Dingnan together.

"...The lord is not in the courtyard, he was invited by Duke Zhen to go to the outer study to discuss matters." The close follower was still young, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw his aunt and Xu Yun coming together.

"Alright." Xu Yun said: "Then let's go to the study outside."

It just so happened that he could explain things clearly in front of his father.

With his father there, he might be able to help him.

Should... can you?

Although Xu Yun was a little uncertain, but the matter of marriage must be approved by the two elders, and there is no way to escape this hurdle anyway.

According to the impression, the two came to the outer study smoothly.

It was Qin Wu who stood guard outside the study.

Seeing the two of them coming together, Qin Wu didn't feel anything wrong at all—it's nothing strange that each of them is looking for their own father.

Therefore, he calmly knocked on the door and announced: "The general, the prince, the second master and the empress are here."

After a moment of silence in the study, Duke Zhen's voice came out: "Call someone in!"

"yes."

Qin Wu pushed the door open and stepped aside.

When Xu Yun and two entered the study, they closed the door again.

As soon as Xu Yun walked in, he lifted up his robe and knelt down to the two old people.

"Qinghu has the guts to ask my father and the prince to agree to my marriage with Ah Ying!"

Simple and direct, without any cumbersome foreshadowing.

Duke Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was quite excited and pleasantly surprised—it's ok! It can be regarded as a vacation!

But this surprise should not be exposed too much, otherwise he is worried that the old thing sitting next to him will deliberately play against him!

With such precautions in mind, Lord Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "This is no joke, have you really thought it through?"

"This matter is not a joke, and my son's words are not jokes! Although I am confused all day long, this idea has never wavered in my heart!"

Xu Yun knelt upright and answered his words with a straight voice, resolute and resolute everywhere.

It's rare for Lord Zhen to see his second son so pleasing to the eye—he finally looks like a bit of a mother!

But why is this old Wu Jun still silent?

Deaf?

Dumb?

Zhen Guogong watched the other party's reaction from the corner of his eye without any trace.

After waiting for a while like this, the old thing finally opened his mouth——

"A Ying, is this what you mean?" King Dingnan looked at his daughter standing beside Xu Yun, his tone was as calm as usual, and no one could hear his anger or joy.

"Go back to father, that's right."

Wu Jingying also knelt down: "My daughter is not filial, she wants to have the audacity to ask her father to help her."

beg him to do it—

The last time, what Ah Ying begged him to do was to enter the palace.

These two pursuits can be described as diametrically opposite.

But if he said which one made him more gratified...

this time.

But there were some things he had to say and ask.

"Ah Ying is still the current empress, how will my Wu family agree to this marriage?"

Duke Zhen heard these words very unpleasantly: "Why, maybe you still want to send your daughter back!"

"Send it back or not, as long as the emperor is still the emperor, Ah Ying's position as empress cannot be changed—"

"It's not easy? After the emperor dies, where will there be any queens!"

King Dingnan sneered: "Do you know when he died?"

"..." Wu Jingying silently glanced at her father.

I always feel that once my father talks to the Duke... the whole person's words and deeds become 'approachable'.

"I really know." There was a trace of carelessness in Zhen Guogong's eyes: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my family, Zhaozhao, used the hands of the national teacher to make it from the elixir taken by the emperor earlier. With his hands and feet, the emperor probably really doesn't have much time to live..."

King Dingnan was slightly startled.

"Is there such a thing?"

Lord Zhen took a sip of the teacup: "It's not a big deal."

King Dingnan sneered silently.

How about showing off to him here?

What's the big deal--

Isn't it his grandson-in-law in the future?

"Father, there is indeed such a thing." Wu Jingying said: "The elixir, Zhaozhao gave it to the national teacher through my hand before—"

But at that time, she didn't know it was poison at all, she just thought it was something to replace the Ganoderma lucidum!

Now that I think about it, it’s because I didn’t know the truth at the beginning——

Otherwise, she might not be able to cover up her inner joy perfectly.

At this moment, Xu Yun was also very moved - Zhao Zhao is really good, the second uncle really didn't hurt in vain... You didn't bully him in vain!

Although he didn't care about Ah Ying's identity, the two families always had concerns about the secular etiquette.

The overall situation of the world is going, this goal is too big, and no one can make a conclusion in a short time.

In contrast, the small goal of the early death of the Hunjun can still be expected.

"Aying and I can wait, it doesn't matter how long we wait." Xu Yun said: "Come here to ask for help today, and it's not just because you are in a hurry to get married. After all, Aying and I just want to ask for permission from the prince and father— —”

Still the same sentence, he doesn't care what others think.

But the promise of his parents and elders is still indispensable - especially for Yu Aying, the prince's attitude is very important.

"Father, now that my daughter is out of the palace, it is no longer helpful to the clan." Wu Jingying saluted and kowtowed her head, her voice was soft but firm: "From now on, my daughter wants to live a happy life." Feel free to do whatever you want, and I hope my father will allow it."

"Zunyun, how can you not allow it!" Zhen Guogong said in front of the board: "I agree to this marriage!"

Xu Yun: "Thank you, father!"

Although it is not surprising that the father will agree, there is still an atmosphere of gratitude.

"Choose a day, choose a few days to prepare! I'll tell Qin Wu to invite Mr. Yao!"

"The old man has not agreed yet!" King Dingnan couldn't bear to interrupt Duke Zhen's verbal plan.

It was he who married his daughter, how could it be the old man's turn to decide the outcome?

However, when the two looked at each other, he saw a sneer flashing across Zhen Guogong's face, and there seemed to be three words written in his eyes - you wait!

hehe.

Who doesn't have a kid who wants to marry a wife?

Who doesn't have a girl to marry!

"..." King Dingnan's face changed slightly, and he secretly said "I'm careless".

After weighing it for a moment, he said: "I didn't say no, it's just that this matter is still to be discussed—"

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yun: "Follow me, I have a few words to ask you alone."

coming--

The test of the future father-in-law is coming!

Xu Yun shook his head, answered "Yes", got up and followed King Dingnan to the inner room.

"Good boy, get up quickly." Facing his future daughter-in-law, Duke Zhen smiled kindly: "Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal, I'll make the decisions for you!"

The old man surnamed Wu doesn't look at whose territory he is in now.

This Linyuan City is not where anyone can enter and exit as soon as they want!

If it's not possible, throw out the disgusting old thing alone, and detain the old thing's daughter and grandson in the city——

One is grabbing, so are two!

Zhen Guogong's abacus was crackling wildly.

etc--

Lord Zhen pricked up his ears.

In the inner room, why does it sound like he came up and knelt down again? !

Hate your son for not living up to expectations? Humiliated the Xu family in front of that old Wu Jun?

nonexistent.

What face does it take to marry a daughter-in-law?

It would have been better to have done this more than ten years ago!

Wu Jingying got up and stood silently aside.

I always feel that the Duke's eavesdropping demeanor is too undisguised...

King Dingnan and Xu Yun did not talk for long.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Yun followed Dingnan King and came out.

The God of Zhen Guo, who had made up his mind, was calm and did not press for questions.

"It was originally scheduled to leave for Ningyang in two days—" King Dingnan said, "Before then, I will give you an answer from the Xu family."

From what I heard, it means that I have to think about it for another two days.

Lord Zhen nodded readily: "The old man will wait for you for two days."

If he agreed two days later, he would happily send the Wu family out of the city.

If you do not agree——

The old man just waits for someone to go back to Ningyang alone.

Anyway, what his Xu family is going to marry is a daughter-in-law, who cares if this half-buried old man agrees or not?

"...What did my father ask you?" After leaving the outer study, Wu Jingying asked Xu Yun in a low voice.

"My lord asked three questions."

Xu Yun said: "Ask me if I have this request today, is it just because I can't get it in my heart—"

"The second question is whether I can take good care of you with my appearance."

He almost wanted to ask, what does he look like?

However, after thinking about it, out of self-knowledge, he didn't insist on taking the humiliation himself.

"The last question is, if the situation is unsatisfactory and I have no other choice, am I willing to anonymize for this—"

Wu Jingying's eyes felt a little tingly when he heard it.

Although her father only asked these three questions, they clearly explained all the obstacles and unsatisfactory things she might encounter on this road.

"Then how do you answer?" She asked Xu Yun.
