The red candle is dim, and the light passes through the fine tent of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons, becoming more and more hazy like a dream.
Yan Ling suppressed the excitement in her heart and wanted to stir up the atmosphere.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xu Yin pulling out a book from under the pillow.
"what?"
Xu Yin didn't even look at him, and calmly opened the book: "Study."
"Study..." Then Yan Ling saw the content of the book, and his face suddenly turned red, "You are..."
"The second aunt gave it to me," Xu Yin said. "She didn't feel embarrassed to talk about it, so she just said a few random words and asked me to read the book carefully. There were too many trivial things in the past two days, and I didn't have time to read them. Today, there are always people here,
I don’t even have time to read it, so I have to make up for it now.”
"..."
Yan Ling watched her open the pages of the book and studied it attentively.
After reading two pages, she asked him again: "Who taught you over there? Father or brother? Do you also have books?"
Yan Ling struggled to say one word: "...yes."
"Same?"
"Maybe it's not the same."
"Take it out and have a look, just for comparison."
So he had no choice but to get out of bed dejectedly and hesitantly take out the book from the secret compartment.
Xu Yin took it and looked at the two books for a while, hesitating: "Is this... really possible?"
Yan Ling took a peek at the content, blushed and said vaguely: "It should be okay, right?"
"But," Xu Yin frowned and gestured, "it looks quite difficult."
There was a banging sound outside again, it was almost the third watch, and the night would be over if we kept going on for a while. Yan Ling finally couldn't bear it any longer, so she took the book out of her hand and threw it outside: "Okay, can you try it?
Do you know?"
"Why!"
The curtain was torn off haphazardly, and clothes fell out one by one.
After a while, Yan Ling poked her head out of the tent again, groping around the bed, muttering: "Where did it go?"
"What are you doing?" Xu Yin got out of the quilt with his long hair disheveled.
"I..." He was embarrassed to say and hesitated, "I'll take a look."
Xu Yin laughed, stretched out his hand to pull him back, and whispered: "No, I just understood it..."
There was faint movement in the room, and the maids and maids who were guarding outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially the nun sent by Princess Zhao. She was here to listen to the news. At this time, her errand was completed and her face was full of smiles.
"Is the water ready? Have you found the clothes? Don't let the master wait."
The maid from Prince Zhao's Mansion said yes and checked again.
After making sure that everything was ready, the nanny turned to Xiao Man and said politely: "Girl, I'll trouble you later."
Xiaoman was very embarrassed and nodded.
Grandma explained some more things and left earlier.
This night is destined to be long.
It was late at night, and Princess Zhao had not settled down yet. She was obviously so tired that she was beating her waist from time to time and staring at the door.
"Stop looking, what's there to worry about?" Behind her, King Zhao was so sleepy that he yawned. My son was getting married and I was almost exhausted. "The mistress wanted this marriage herself, could it still be bad?"
"I'm not worried," Princess Zhao waved her hands impatiently, "No matter how good he is, he just can't let go without definite information. You don't understand my mother's thoughts."
"That's what you said." King Zhao was unhappy, "Am I not the father?"
Princess Zhao chuckled and was too lazy to argue with him.
As time went by, Princess Zhao became more and more worried: "It's not here yet, will there be any changes?"
King Zhao wanted to say that she was worrying too much, but fortunately he didn't say anything, but there was a movement at the courtyard door.
"Princess, Aunt Zhuang is here." The maid reported.
Princess Zhao was overjoyed and hurried to the outer room to hear the news.
The first time she saw Aunt Zhuang with a smile on her face, she felt relieved. After she whispered a few words into her ear, Princess Zhao felt completely at ease.
"Okay, you go and have a rest. I'm getting older, so I stayed up half the night and come back tomorrow afternoon."
Aunt Zhuang happily thanked her and left.
Seeing Princess Zhao return, King Zhao looked at her face and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Princess Zhao couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm just saying you're worrying too much." King Zhao felt reassured and patted his side, "Okay, go to bed early. I've been very busy these days for his marriage."
They lay down, but Princess Zhao couldn't sleep. She said, "Time flies so early. In the blink of an eye, A Ling got married. It feels like more than half of my life has passed and all responsibilities have been completed."
Hearing these words, King Zhao felt disgusted and said, "What are you talking about? How old are you and me? Our grandchildren haven't even seen it yet, so it's like we have half a foot in the coffin."
Who wants to make Princess Zhao angry: "Isn't that what I said? You are getting more and more angry. Your subordinates are used to scolding you, right? Come home and show off your authority."
Seeing her anger, King Zhao quickly explained: "No, no, I just think you are still young and beautiful, how can you talk about yourself like an old woman?"
This sentence made Princess Zhao smile and said angrily: "Nonsense, how old are you? You are still young and beautiful."
"Really. If you go out and look around now, who would have thought that you have such a big son?"
Princess Zhao completely lost her temper and glanced over: "What are you talking about? You were not like this before. Did you learn it from the waiter?"
King Zhao smiled and said: "So what? I feel more and more that it's good for the waiter to be like this. He can just say what he has to say. If he is happy, the people he likes will be happy too. Just watch, he will definitely live a better life in the future.
Very good."
Princess Zhao agreed. She originally thought that Yan Ling would be willful and stubborn, so getting married would be a big problem, but she didn't know that he had already found one for her, and so smoothly, he got married and started a career.
"Boss, I'm a little worried," said King Zhao.
Princess Zhao asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with the boss? I see that he is doing very well recently! Both husband and wife are doing well."
Speaking of this, Princess Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "At first, I was worried that the couple would not get along well. After all, it was not because he liked her that Acheng chose her. But after spending more time together over the past year, the two of them have gradually become better.
.Actually, it’s nothing, weren’t we the same way back then?”
King Zhao looked at her without speaking.
Princess Zhao was confused by him: "What? Is there a problem?"
King Zhao said: "We are different from them."
Princess Zhao didn't understand.
King Zhao sighed: "Actually, in the beginning, the person my mother chose was you, and I nodded."
Princess Zhao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? When did it first begin?"
"When we were in the capital," King Zhao said, "if you go back to your parents' house and ask, you will find out that we had actually discussed getting married the year before. But as soon as the two families revealed this intention, something happened."
Princess Zhao was stunned by this news. It was different from what she thought.
"But, you were not with Sister Liu at that time..."
King Zhao smiled bitterly: "For so many years, I didn't dare to mention this matter, just because I felt sorry for her. Ayi, actually the boss was an accident."
