This morning, Minglan did not sleep in for once. She got up before dawn to wash and dress.
Gu Tingye would return to the capital today. Minglan, Xiaotao, and Danju had been counting the days since they received the letter from Northern Xinjiang.
Minglan no longer had the thought of falling asleep as usual. Today, as soon as she opened her eyes, she called out, "Xiao Tao, Dan Ju!"
When the two came in, Minglan had already put on her clothes and sat up.
Seeing Minglan, who couldn't be woken up even by calling her on weekdays, Xiaotao said jokingly, "Miss, the sun is rising from the west today!"
Being teased by Xiao Tao, Ming Lan smiled and replied, "I don't know whether the sun has risen from the west or not. If you stand still, you won't get any of the honey-fried pancakes tomorrow."
Danju suppressed her smile and helped Minglan up from the bed. Xiaotao immediately took the hot water brought by the maid and said, "Miss, Xiaotao will help you wash your face."
After chatting and laughing, Minglan finished dressing up and spent another half an hour choosing clothes and shoes. By then, it was already dawn. Xiaotao told her the time, and Minglan didn't even need breakfast. She just picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out.
After getting on the carriage, Danju opened the food box she was carrying. Inside was a bowl of meat porridge, two side dishes, and a few small buns.
After cleaning her hands, Minglan took a bite of the bun and said to Danju vaguely, "It has to be Danju, otherwise, I will be hungry."
Xiao Tao took the bun from Ming Lan and took a bite, then mumbled, "Sister Dan Ju, this bun is so delicious."
After getting off the carriage, Danju put a veil on Minglan's head, and the three of them sat in the Shili Pavilion outside the city and waited quietly. After waiting for half an hour, they saw a group of people in the distance.
Minglan looked at the man on horseback at the front of the team, who was holding a long sword. She jumped up, waved her hands, and shouted loudly, "Brother Ye!"
The team was about to enter the city, and Gu Tingye slowly slowed down his pace. He was holding the reins to slow the horse down when he noticed a figure jumping in the distance.
Just by looking at the movement, he knew who it was. Gu Tingye waved towards Minglan, letting her know that he had seen her. After giving a few instructions to his subordinates, he threw the reins and galloped away from the team.
Gu Tingye, who was galloping on his horse with his eyes narrowed, felt more and more joyful as he saw the figure getting closer and closer.
This time when he comes back, he will realize his wish and marry his most beloved girl.
Behind Gu Tingye, Na Yier lifted the car curtain and looked at Gu Tingye's receding figure. She said softly to Yan Yanhe, "Just because you still want revenge, just give up that idea."
Kneeling on the ground, Lan Lan's eyes were filled with hatred. Upon hearing this, she said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I understand."
Naier looked back at Lan Lanhe lying on the ground, her face full of indifference, but Lan Lanhe was kneeling on the ground and didn't know anything.
When he was a few steps away from Minglan, Gu Tingye slowed down and jumped off his horse. After getting off the horse, he took a few big steps forward, picked up Minglan, and spun around.
Xiao Tao and Dan Ju both turned their backs tactfully, and the servants driving the carriages not far away also turned around. Gu Tingye put his arm around Minglan's slender waist, and Minglan put her arm around Gu Tingye's neck, giggling. The two of them looked at each other with their eyes filled with the joy of reunion.
After a while, Gu Tingye put Minglan down, but his arms were still around Minglan, and his starry eyes looked straight into Minglan's.
Looking at the reflection in each other's eyes, Gu Tingye slowly said: "I'm back!"
