Chapter 101 "I remember it!"
After the ceremony, everyone started to have a banquet and eat.
Jing Xuan changed back into her usual silk dress. She had already had her meal and didn't feel hungry, so she didn't go to the banquet.
He sat alone on the corridor in a daze, even Xia He was sent away.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Jing Yu glanced sideways and saw Jing Ce, a handsome man in white clothes.
"Royal brother."
Jing Ce said softly: "What is our little Changning thinking about?"
Jing Xuan was not used to being labeled, especially when he spoke in such a teasing tone, which made her feel strange. She rubbed her earlobe and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't think anything."
Jing Ce rubbed Jing Yu's head and said, "You didn't even tell your brother?"
Jing Xuan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she murmured, "The coming-of-age ceremony is over, and you are leaving again."
Before Jing Ce could say anything, he heard the little girl nagging again: "I understand, you have to go back to the border, this is a big deal, so I'm not being willful, I'm just hiding to feel sad for a while."
She sniffed and said in a muffled voice: "I have grown up and I am very obedient."
Jing Ce couldn't help laughing, feeling distressed and relieved at the same time: "Silly girl, it's okay to be willful in front of your brother."
Jing Yu shook her head firmly: "No."
"My dear, little Changning." Jing Ce said, "If you leave early, you can come back early. When you come back, you will never leave again. Isn't that good?"
Jing Xuan had never thought of this before. Her eyes suddenly brightened and her voice became excited: "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Jing Ce's expression changed and he looked towards the end of the corridor.
The next moment, a tall and familiar figure appeared before them. The young man paused when he saw him, then strode over to the two of them and greeted them openly, "Crown Prince, Little Princess."
When she said the word "little princess", her voice became almost as soft as water.
Jing Ce's mouth twitched, his eyes squinted, and his tone was not very good: "Didn't you see me talking to Princess Changning?"
Chu Mo: "I saw it, but I think I can listen to this matter."
He retorted indifferently, Jing Ce frowned: "As an elder, why do you care so much?"
This sentence once again reminded Chu Mo of the pain of the word "elder". He smiled wryly: "Prince, you may have forgotten that you are much older than me."
"So what?" Jing Ce said unhappily, "I am Xuanxuan's brother, who are you to her?"
"I am..." Chu Mo choked and was stuck.
Saying "lover" is too direct; saying "sweetheart" will make Xiuxiu feel embarrassed.
The generally intelligent general didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Men!" The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, but her words were very bold, without any shyness at all.
Jing Ce almost couldn't catch his breath, and Chu Mo's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
The two of them stared at Jing Yun, with the same look of shock on their faces.
Jing Yu touched the tip of her nose: "What's wrong?"
"What did you just say?"
Speaking of this, Jing Yu was excited. She patted her chest domineeringly, raised her chin, raised a thin white index finger, and shook it proudly: "Chu Mo is my man!"
Her serious and complacent look really made people feel adorable. Jing Ce couldn't help but chuckle and gently scratched her upturned nose: "You."
Jing Xuan tilted her head: "Hmm?"
She looked at Chu Mo: "Aren't you my man?"
"I am." Chu Mo smiled, "I am Princess Changning's man."
Jing Ce was originally still smiling, but now his face turned cold and he cursed in his heart.
Chu Mo looked at him: "Is the Crown Prince okay?"
Jing Ce: “…”
Chu Mo was very happy that his villain had succeeded, and emphasized brazenly: "He is a man, not an elder."
Jing Ce gritted his teeth and pulled Jing Xuan away: "The banquet is over, Xuanxuan, let's go." "Okay~" She was indeed very tired because of the coming-of-age ceremony, so she followed obediently.
As she walked, she turned around and waved to Chu Mo with a soft smile.
Chu Mo felt like there was a hole in his heart, and he wished he could take the little girl home and hide her as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, it's too early now.
He did not forget that it was wartime and it was impossible to stay in the capital for long.
As early as the moment he decided to return to Beijing, he knew that this dusty and tiring journey would not allow him to spend more time with Jing Xuan.
Only after he has resolved all the issues can he be with the little princess without any worries.
The purpose of this trip was just to see if the little princess was okay, to see her coming of age, and to talk to her.
Now, everyone has got what they wanted.
So... he should go back to the border.
However, he remembered what Yuan Lianye had said to him: "General, tomorrow is the Flower Festival, and Xuanxuan wants to go."
Chu Mo was young and playful, so how could he not know about the Wanhua Festival?
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
If I go to the border again, it will take a long time to return.
The little princess has reached the age of marriage, and there must be many gentlemen who miss her, so...
We have to let them know that the little princess is already taken.
…
After returning to Ningyue Palace, Jing Xuan was exhausted and just wanted to lie down on the bed.
However, she still needed to take a shower and clean up, so she had to force herself to finish everything.
I didn't have time to care about anything else. I changed into my regular clothes, washed off my makeup, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. I just wanted to get rid of all the fatigue of the past two days.
I slept from noon to midnight.
Xia He almost thought that the princess was ill and wanted to ask the imperial physician to come.
As soon as Jing Xuan woke up, Xia He hurriedly asked someone to cook some food. Her eyes paused suddenly, and some guesses emerged in her mind.
At this moment, Jing Xuan was sitting blankly on the bed, her eyes were straight and unfocused, her long hair was scattered on the bed, and her white inner clothes made her look even more fragile.
Even though there was silver charcoal burning in the room, she seemed cold all over.
This scene looked so familiar. The princess was in the same situation more than a month ago. She woke up from her dream and burst into tears.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and then she heard Jing Xuan chuckle softly, her eyes and brows full of joy.
"Princess..." Xia He murmured.
Jing Xuan turned his eyes to look at her, his smile deepening: "What's wrong?"
Without further ado, he urged again, "I'm so hungry, is the food here?"
Seeing this, Xia He also put aside her doubts and replied, "I'm coming."
After a while, Jing Xuan was satisfied with the meal and happily lay down on the chair. After a moment of silence, she laughed out loud.
Xia He was really surprised and couldn't help asking, "Princess, is this a beautiful dream?"
"Hmm..." Jing Xuan kept it a secret and said with a smile, "I remember now!"
"?"
"I remember everything in that dream."
I remembered my meeting with Chu Mo, the bonfire party, watching the fireworks on the mountain, the trip to the grassland, Chu Mo's birthday, the cat jade pendant, and their mutual love.
Jing Xuan clenched her fists, wishing she could tell Chu Mo right away.
Looking at the night outside the window, he sighed in disappointment.
Tomorrow, I must go find him!
