Phoenix Duchess - C28
Although it snowed yesterday, the Imperial Capital was cold, so how could the snow block the road? The main road was so clean and dry that it was like the snow was just a dream.
The road was a little cold in the early morning, especially with fewer people around. The sound of the wheels grinding down the bluestone path was not pleasant to the ears. It echoed through the streets, echoing far away.
Most of the people in the manor knew about Eastern Ling Wan, so they didn’t dare to take her silver. They brought Xue and Tingyu to Xiao Qian’s courtyard. That person briefly explained the situation to the guard, giving Dong Ling Wan a hidden glance before leaving in a hurry. It was indeed easy for a girl who had not yet left the pavilion to invite criticism by visiting a man in the morning.
Dong Ling Wan ignored him and continued to wait in front of the gate. After a while, a man in white came out of the yard. He had a jade flute on his waist, and compared to the bamboo, the jade was even more rich and real.
This person walked leisurely and had a calm appearance, unlike the spirited and handsome Xiao family male. However, he was full of a poetic aura, and his demeanor was even gentler and more refined than Xiao Qian’s. This made Dong Ling Wan think of that person, Pu Zhi.
The person in front of him was as light as a cup of tea. He was even more so than Pu Jing, wearing snow-white clothes that accentuated his elegance. Dong Ling Wan unconsciously recited a poem, “Apart from the third snow, who else in the world could match white clothes?”
The man across from her was slightly surprised for a moment, but then he smiled and said, “Second Miss, Yang Zhe is courteous.”
Dong Ling Wan replied with a smile: “And you’re still talking about who this peerless beauty is, so it turns out to be Second Young Master Yang. No wonder!”
The Yang family was a famous family in the Qi Province, and Dong Ling Wan had long heard of Yang Qing. It was not only because of his talent, but also because of his dedication, which made Dong Ling Wan have a good impression of him.
“Second Miss is too kind.” Yang Qing extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, but the guard blocked the duo who were admiring the snow outside the door. Dong Ling Wan was not annoyed, but followed him into the courtyard, only to see Xiao Qian standing alone under the eaves.
The snow-white color reflected Xiao Qian’s navy blue robe, making him look extremely harmonious. When they were still a few steps away, Yang Zhe stopped and bowed to Xiao Qian, “Second Miss has already attracted your attention. If you do, then I won’t disturb you.”
With that, Yang Qing made a gesture to Dong Ling Wan to go on her own and left in the other direction.
Eastern Ling Wan hesitated for a moment before moving forward. Xiao Qian turned his head and saw a petite figure walking over. Xiao Qian smiled, but when he saw Dong Ling Wan’s outfit, he frowned. These clothes …
Today, Eastern Ling Wan wore a pure white waist dress with a white fox fur coat over it. She wore a white fur coat with flowing clouds around her body.
After tidying up his expression, Xiao Qian smiled at her, “I was going to ask someone to invite you in directly, but I heard that you had such a reputation, so I insisted on welcoming you myself. I couldn’t convince him, so I let him go.”
Dong Ling Wan clenched her fist. She didn’t want to see his appearance the most. With his tone, it seemed as though nothing had anything to do with him.
“Ling Wan pays her respects to your highness, your highness …”
Just as Dong Ling Wan was about to kneel down and pay her respects, Xiao Qian turned around. He had clearly said that she didn’t need to perform such a feint. This woman would never listen to the words of others!
She could only stand there awkwardly. After a long time, she didn’t say a word, as if she was feeling angry. Since she was laughing at her own thoughts, what kind of wager would she gamble on? It was a good thing not to kill everyone in anger.
Dong Ling Wan smiled, but didn’t contain a single trace of emotion. Seeing him like this, she straightforwardly said, “Dong Ling Wan, the reason why you have come today, is to beg Your Highness to let my eldest sister live. Regardless of what it is, it is as though a mountain of blades and a sea of flames have descended. Ling Wan will definitely bring it over and give it to Your Highness with both hands. ”
Xiao Qian’s body stiffened. ‘Does this woman know what I’m talking about?’ Xiao Qian’s gloomy face turned even uglier.
It was very quiet in the courtyard. After Dong Ling Wan finished her sentence, there was no other sound. After a long while, Xiao Qian let out a cold laugh. Eastern Ling Wan, if I want you, will you also offer yourself up to me? ”
“You …” Dong Ling Wan wanted to get angry, but swallowed back her words after a while. What is this!
“Let’s go, This King doesn’t want to see you!” Xiao Qian’s voice was filled with an irresistible dignity and power … An anger that shouldn’t have appeared.
What right did he have to be angry!? Dong Ling Wan’s tolerance had already reached its peak. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart, said “Ling Wan will be leaving now”, and turned around to leave the courtyard.
After a while, Yang Zhe came out from the hall. He saw Xiao Qian holding onto the railing with one hand, his jade-like hand was so white that it had turned green, and there was even the figure of Dong Ling Wan around him? Yang Zhe guessed that the two of them had not yet finished their discussion. He shook his head with a smile and handed Xiao Qian a cup of tea, “You didn’t explain it clearly?”
“There is no need for This King to explain anything to her!” After Xiao Qian finished speaking, he walked back into the inner hall without looking back.
As for Eastern Ling Wan, when she returned to the mansion, she locked herself in her room and didn’t open the door. Dong Ling Wan poured two cups of cold tea into her cup, but couldn’t control herself for a moment. She coughed a few times before knocking her teacup to the ground, “Xiao Qian!”
If I want you, will you also offer your hands to me?
Dong Ling smacked the table bitterly. How could he be so frivolous towards her? This made Dong Ling Wan feel humiliated.
Dong Ling Wan didn’t use breakfast. She didn’t open the door until dinner time. Hearing the sound of rain and snow, the two of them entered the door. After eating a little dinner, they added a tranquil fragrance and fell into a deep sleep. The two of them didn’t dare to say a word. Eastern Ling Wan’s eyes were a bit red. She must have been crying before. They had never seen her cry before, or perhaps, neither of them had …
It was snowing every year, and it was always full of snow. Winter came early this year, and it was also a good omen. If His Majesty’s special approval officer Xiu Mu took three days, could she take advantage of this opportunity … Dong Ling Wan had been trapped by herself for an entire morning, but she still felt that it was too risky to fight against Xiao Qian.
Wang Renji’s matter was handed over to Xiao Qian. Who could compare to Xiao Qian? It’s just that such a person… If Xiao Qian really wanted to touch Dong Rui Yu, he would have done so earlier. Why wait until now? What kind of misunderstanding would that be?
Without time to think about all these, Eastern Ling Wan came to King Rong Yuan Palace once again. This time, however, Eastern Ling Wan was stopped outside the courtyard door. Two guards, one with a long spear, stood in front of her and stopped her from entering. “Your Highness has ordered, no matter who it is, you’re not to be seen!”
“What is Your Highness doing, why is there no guest?”
“How can other people ask about His Highness!”
“I… “How dare you!” Before Eastern Ling Wan could say anything, the guard’s long spear suddenly pressed against her throat. Immediately, Eastern Ling Wan became angry as well. With a loud shout, her petite body became extremely arrogant, making people not dare to disobey.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the yard, “Don’t be rude!”
Yang Zhe appeared from the side of the door and bowed to Eastern Lingwan. “This subordinate doesn’t know etiquette, please forgive me, Second Miss.” Yang Qing glanced at Dong Ling Wan again and said, “Your Highness is busy with official business, you really can’t receive guests. Second Miss also saw this, these people only listen to Your Highness’ orders, if they hurt Second Miss without knowing, then it wouldn’t be worth it.”
Dong Ling Wan looked deeply at Yang Qing, who merely smiled and made a bow, then hid himself behind the door. Dong Ling Wan took a deep breath and turned to walk out. At this moment, a peanut was shot in the forehead, and when Dong Ling Wan looked up, she saw a person sitting on the eaves, looking up at her. “Since you’re here, you shouldn’t go over to my place for a cup of tea.
