Xie Lingqin spoke slowly and softly.
Xuanyuan Du stared intently at Xie Lingqin without refuting her. After a moment, he nodded and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "You are very intelligent, far beyond my expectations. I will talk to you again another day when there is an opportunity."
"You're welcome."
"Goodbye." A hint of reluctance flashed in Xuanyuan's single eye as he finally turned away.
“Xuanyuan Du,” Xie Lingqin suddenly called out to him, and said softly, “I once heard a rumor in unofficial historical records…”
Xuanyuan Du's brows darkened, but a seemingly impenetrable smile appeared on his face. "You speak."
"It is said that the heir of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Du, has a long-standing connection with the royal family, and his mother has a very good relationship with the current emperor of Western Xia..." Xie Lingqin said, and a smile that she had never seen before suddenly appeared on her face. It was light, gentle, like a beautiful orchid in bloom, serene and exquisite.
Xie Lingqin looked at Xuan Yuandu and said, "I'm saying this for no other reason than to say that no matter who you are or what your surname is, when we met, it was simply because you are you."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Du was taken aback.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying, "Have a safe journey."
Xuanyuan Du was dressed in a blue robe, with deep and serious features and a taut profile. The wind blew, making the man's robe flutter and the girl's black hair, which was tied up high in men's clothing, stir up a deep turmoil in his heart.
A crimson glow descended from the branches ahead, illuminating the girl's jade-like face and radiant eyes. She truly resembled the first ray of light at dawn in spring, with the gentle flow of water and the blossoming of flowers in her heart.
"You too, please be well." After a short while, Xuanyuan Du clasped his hands in a fist salute, and in the next instant, he finally disappeared from sight.
Xie Lingqin withdrew her gaze, composed herself, and glanced at the sky. Fortunately, the sun was about to set, so she decided to go get some food.
So Xie Lingqin did go and have a meal before heading to the General's Mansion.
"Ah, the Emperor sent an eunuch with an imperial decree to the General's Mansion. Could it be to bestow a marriage between the Second Miss Xie of the General's Mansion and Prince Xian?"
"Very likely..."
"What about the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion...?"
"Oh, now that the young lady has the Crown Prince's help, and Prince Yi's help too..."
A gust of wind suddenly brought with it the sound of people talking.
Xie Lingqin paused. Had the Emperor issued an edict to the General's Mansion?
