Feeling that someone had discovered his whereabouts, he turned around in a hurry. When he saw Leng Xi standing behind him, he immediately asked nervously:
"You...why are you here?"
The corners of Leng Xi's mouth curled up slightly, and he raised his feet and walked towards him, while saying quietly:
"I've been here for a long time. I've been waiting for you since you went there."
Looking in the direction where he pointed at Leng Gong, and judging from his gloating expression, Leng Xi discovered that he went to Leng Gong.
"I...Fifth Brother, you...you won't tell others about this, right?"
"Hahaha!"
Leng Xi suddenly raised his head and smiled. He came to him, patted his shoulder, raised his eyebrows and replied:
"Sixth brother, how could I tell others about this? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's rare for you to have such filial piety that you know how to go to the cold palace to see your mother. Don't worry, I came to you just to ask you, How are you preparing?"
After hearing what he said, Leng Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what he had to do in the evening, he rubbed his hands nervously.
"Fifth brother, is this okay? I...I'm a little worried."
"What do you have to worry about? As long as the raw rice becomes cooked rice, Liu Dechang will definitely agree to marry his daughter to you in order to save his face. My father will not stop this, even if she doesn't want to marry you. , and there is no choice, so don’t worry!”
Leng Ming still muttered worriedly,
"Then...will something happen?"
"Will not."
Leng Xi looked at him with an indifferent expression,
"I have already made arrangements. As long as you do as I say, you can just wait and enjoy the feeling of having a beautiful woman in your arms!"
His words made Leng Ming's eyes flash with a look of surprise. He had always dreamed of holding his beloved woman in his arms. Now that he had this good opportunity, how could he not be happy.
Throughout the afternoon, Leng Ming was a little uneasy. The emperor specifically ordered Liu Xi to inform him that if he liked any lady from the minister's family, he would just say that the emperor would grant him a marriage.
But at this moment, he had no intention of looking at other women. His eyes were all on Luo Xue opposite.
Luo Xue seemed to notice the strange look in his eyes, she possessed her, and after saying a few words in Luo Lan's ear, she stood up and left.
It turned out that Luo Xue felt that being stared at by Leng Ming was too depressing, so she wanted to change places to get some fresh air. She also expected that Leng Ming would come to see her when he saw her leaving.
So, she stood by the creek, looking at the clear water, waiting quietly for Leng Ming's arrival.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps. Before Luo Xue looked back, she knew that the person coming must be Leng Ming.
"Stand there and don't come near me."
She turned around and looked coldly at Leng Ming, who was walking towards her, with a cold look on her face.
Leng Ming stopped when he was still some distance away from her. He stared at her with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Luo Xue couldn't wait to say:
"Leng Ming, there are only you and me here now. There are some things I need to make clear to you."
"Luo Xue, don't say anything, listen to me first."
Luo Xue nodded helplessly,
"Okay, if you have anything to say, please just say it. I'm not in a hurry."
Leng Ming collected his thoughts, took two steps forward, looked at her seriously, and said with a serious face:
"Luo Xue, I noticed that you have been avoiding me recently. We were fine when we were together before, but now you seem to hate me. Why is that?"
"I'm not avoiding you, I just don't want to give you the wrong impression."
"What is the illusion? You know that I like you and I love you. You said you would give me time and let me change slowly, but I think you don't have the patience to wait for me anymore. "
"I've given you time, have you changed? Not only have you not changed, the things you have done are even more annoying than before. What I want to say to you today is, don't have any illusions about me. It’s impossible for us to be together before, it’s impossible, I won’t like you.”
Luo Xue's words left Leng Ming stunned. He felt as if his heart was being pulled by something, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"Leng Ming, you and I are not suitable. We are really not suitable. There are so many girls here today. You choose one from them. They are thousands of times better than me. I don't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know anything about female celebrities, reading, etc. I don’t know how to recite poetry or paint, I don’t know anything, I don’t have any merit in me, so don’t like me, like someone else.”
Leng Ming's mind went blank. He suddenly felt that Luo Xue's words seemed to be reaching his ears from a distant place. Looking at Luo Xue's excited expression, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He originally thought that Luo Xue just thought he was incompetent, so she didn't like him. Now it seems that no matter what he becomes, she will never like him.
"Hehehe..."
He clenched the fists in his sleeves and smiled desperately.
His laughter made Luo Xue's heart tremble, but now that the words had come to this, she might as well let him give up completely, lest he have any inappropriate thoughts about her in the future.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and continued with a hateful voice:
"Leng Ming, I don't think I'm worthy of you. Really, I'm older than you, and I'm not talented. I don't have any advantages except my temper. Don't like me anymore, and I won't like you at all. Yes, we can't be together, you... give up!"
After leaving these words as cold as ice, Luo Xue was ready to turn around.
"etc……"
Leng Ming's voice suddenly became very calm. He looked up at Luo Xue and said seriously:
"In this case, I should return the things that belong to you. Come to Qingyu Garden at Xu time tonight and take back the things that belong to you."
Luo Xue looked at him with puzzled eyes,
"Who am I? Where is Qingyuyuan?"
"Qing Yuyuan, just ask any palace maid and you will know. As for what it is, you will know it when it comes."
He left these words in a desperate manner, gave Luo Xue a meaningful look, then turned and left.
Luo Xue froze on the spot, thinking about what she had left with Leng Ming.
But she thought about it for a long time and still didn't remember it.
All right! Then wait until Xu Shi to visit the Qingyu Garden he mentioned, and break up with him by the way, so that he will not have any inappropriate thoughts about himself again.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed in her chest.
The moon is extraordinarily round tonight, and the Imperial Garden is shrouded in lights. Under the moonlight, it looks like daylight.
Lele was playing chess with the emperor, and the other children sat quietly watching the excitement.
Leng Yu held Luo Lan's hand and stood by the stream, looking at the moon in the sky with a faint smile on his face.
"Madam, the moon is so full today. Although we have known each other for almost seven years, it has only been two years since we actually spent the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
"Seven years is just the beginning. We will have many more seven years in the future. From now on, you will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me every year."
"That's natural."
Leng Yu put his hands on her waist and held her in his arms. She leaned on his shoulders, enjoying the feeling of the autumn wind blowing on her face under the moonlight.
