Chapter 257 The Prince is finally approaching Shanhaiguan
Today, Jiao Rou revealed the whole story of Aunt Lan framing Daiyu, and for a moment, everyone in the mansion was shocked.
Aunt Lan was even stripped of her title and locked up in the woodshed.
After everyone left, only Daiyu and Jiaorou were left in the room.
At this moment and place, they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling as if a heavy burden had suddenly been lifted from their hearts, and their whole bodies felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Even the air around them seemed to be filled with the scent of victory.
Daiyu walked to the table with light lotus steps, leaned over slightly, and gently sniffed the faint and elegant fragrance of the pot of daffodils on the table.
After a while, she stretched out her delicate hand again, carefully picked up the teacup, and then walked lightly towards Jiaorou.
With a smile on her face, she gently handed the Jin Jun Mei tea soaked in snow water to Jiao Rou.
I only heard Daiyu say in an operatic tone:
"Good sister, thank you for saving me!"
Jiaorou was immediately amused by her and burst into laughter.
She had just taken a sip of tea when she heard Daiyu's strange accent and couldn't help but spit out the tea in her mouth.
Jiaorou gently patted Daiyu's shoulder and said lovingly:
"You're so cute, Yu'er! I never realized you were so cute!"
It had been a long time since the two of them had sat together so leisurely and chatted leisurely.
However, at this moment, Daiyu suddenly grabbed the delicate hand and pleaded with a hint of coquettishness:
"Good sister, I want to ask you a favor..."
Jiao Rou was stunned when she heard this, and then she stared at the eccentric Lin Daiyu in front of her with interest.
She looked it over carefully, then burst out laughing and said jokingly:
"Hey, has the sun risen from the west?
Come on, tell me, what's going on?"
Daiyu saw Jiaorou teasing her like this, but she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she moved closer, blinking her big, watery eyes and saying expectantly:
"Sister, can you teach me to sing the Peking opera you sang last time?"
When Jiao Rou heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she burst into laughter as if she had seen the strangest thing in the world.
She stared at Daiyu with wide eyes, looking her up and down again in disbelief, and asked her in a joking tone:
"You? Learning opera?"
Daiyu blushed immediately at Jiaorou's smile. She said embarrassedly, "Forget it, forget it. I just wanted to show off to the prince!"
Jiaorou scratched her nose and said with a smile:
"You'd better take good care of the baby, everything will be fine after the baby is born."
After they finished talking, Daiyu asked the maids to bring the food. The two of them had lunch together and then went their separate ways.
It is said that after the eldest wife hurried back to the room, her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
She first ordered Cai Lian with an expressionless face to take all the little maids away, and then coldly ordered Cai Lian to close the door tightly.
No one knew why, but at this moment the eldest wife just wanted to be alone.
Perhaps it was because there were too many trivial matters in the mansion recently, which made her feel a little breathless; or perhaps it was because of Aunt Lan's affairs that really upset her.
She originally wanted to turn a blind eye to it, but Jiao Rou laid out everything, so she had no choice but to lock up Aunt Lan first.
An indescribable sadness welled up in my heart.
She knew in her heart that Lan Xin was indeed an arrogant and domineering person.
But strangely enough, the eldest wife never felt any genuine disgust towards her.
The eldest wife slowly walked to the dressing table and sat down gently.
She stared at her haggard self in the mirror and was suddenly surprised to find a faint trace of silver hair on her head.
At this moment, the scene of meeting Daiyu today emerged in Dafujin's mind again.
Daiyu's calm and composed appearance deeply hurt her and made her feel inexplicably annoyed.
That Yu Fu Jin seemed like an angel descended from the sky, never concerned with worldly matters and never worrying about trivial matters!
Then, the eldest wife stood up gently and walked slowly towards the desk.
She stretched out her slender fingers, carefully took out an exquisite brush from the pen holder, and then silently moved to the table.
After a brief pause, the eldest wife finally started writing on the white rice paper and wrote a line of beautiful poetry:
"The good wind, with its power, sends me to the blue clouds!"
Thinking of this, the eldest wife changed all her clothes and lay down on the bed to rest.
Jiaorou was lying on the bed alone, and Daiyu's innocent look became more and more apparent in her eyes.
Somehow, an idea came to her mind - Lin Daiyu must not be so proud!
She had to wait until late at night when everyone was asleep to go to the woodshed to check on Lan Xin and see if there was any improvement. In short, she would never let Lin Daiyu feel at ease!
Thinking of this, the eldest wife fell asleep in a daze.
……
"Xiaoluzi, Xiaoluzi, where are we going?"
I only heard the voice coming from the front.
I saw the prince riding on a tall and mighty horse, asking anxiously.
Looking at his expression, he seemed to wish he could make the horse gallop away as fast as lightning, and even traveling a thousand miles a day would not be enough!
The reason why he was so anxious was simply because his longing for Daiyu was about to overflow.
This time, the prince led the army back in triumph from the northern expedition against the Huns.
Along the way, flags were flying and the momentum was huge. The long team was like a winding dragon, slowly moving forward on the wide road.
The prince's heart had already flown to the person in the capital who had been haunting him.
At this time, Xiao Luzi, who was following the prince not far behind, hurriedly rode forward and replied respectfully:
"Your Highness, Shanhaiguan is not far ahead. We are very close to the capital!"
"Oh? Is that true? Are we really almost at Shanhaiguan?"
Upon hearing this, the prince's face suddenly revealed an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Thinking that he would soon be able to see Daiyu, whom he had been thinking about so much, his heart beat faster, as if Daiyu could feel his return!
The prince suddenly pulled the reins to stop the horse, then turned to look at the small path on the side.
Suddenly he shouted:
"Xiao Luzi, quickly go and tell the generals to lead their respective troops well.
Now that we are about to pass through Shanhaiguan, I will no longer travel with you!"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xiao Luzi again and continued:
"Also, remember to cooperate with General Zheng to manage and maintain order in the team.
I will leave first!"
After saying this, the prince patted the horse's back lightly and prepared to set off.
However, at this moment, the prince seemed to remember something. He once again looked deeply at Xiao Luzi and added, "Remember, don't slack off in the slightest!"
After saying this, the prince squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and shouted loudly: "Gee! Gee! Gee!"
With each urging, the horse under his crotch galloped out like an arrow.
Before Xiao Luzi could recover from the prince's sudden action, the prince had already rushed forward like a gust of wind and had walked a long distance in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Luzi stared at the prince's receding back in amazement, feeling extremely anxious.
He quickly squeezed the stirrups hard, whipped the horse's buttocks hard with the whip in his hand, and drove his mount to catch up quickly.
Xiao Luzi was riding on his horse and yelling, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait a minute, Your Highness..."
