Plum blossom garden.
Miss Qin Er had drawn her eyebrows, put on a little makeup, and was wearing a plain white dress. She had just come out of the room.
Although she was naturally beautiful, she had been ill for a long time and her face inevitably had an unhealthy paleness.
With light makeup on, her rosy face makes her look even more beautiful and charming.
Zhu'er supported her and stood in the yard.
The autumn sunshine, with a hint of laziness, fell on her slender and soft body, as if it had covered her with a golden veil, bright and soft.
No matter who sees her, even the most restless heart will become calm.
Nangong Meijiao stood under the eaves, looking at her quietly, a hint of tenderness showing on her delicate and cold face.
"Squeak..."
The gate opened.
Qiu'er walked in with Luo Qingzhou and Xiaodie.
Nangong Meijiao's expression regained its coldness and arrogance as she looked at him coldly.
However, when she saw him in his Confucian robe, elegant demeanor, and handsome appearance, she was slightly stunned.
But soon, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Second Miss, you look so beautiful today."
Luo Qingzhou walked up to Miss Qin Er, stretched out his hand, and looked at her gently.
For others, it seems like they turn a blind eye.
Qin Weimo smiled softly, stretched out her slender jade hand, placed it in his palm, and said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, wasn't Weimo beautiful before?"
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said, "You were beautiful before, but you are more beautiful today. It's not because of your makeup, but because of your mood."
"Ahem..."
Someone under the eaves suddenly coughed a few times and said with a cold face: "It's already this late, and you are still showing off your affection here. If you want to show off your affection, do so when you come back."
Luo Qingzhou seemed to have just noticed her and said respectfully, "Princess, good morning."
"snort!"
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, turned her head away and looked away, feeling humiliated.
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou, let's go. We still need to call sister to join us."
Luo Qingzhou frowned upon hearing this and whispered, "Second Miss, today we are just going to talk to our parents-in-law about the wedding date. There is no need to invite the eldest Miss to come along, right?"
Qin Weimo said softly, "Of course it is necessary. We are a family. Even if it is just the date of the wedding, we have to discuss it in front of everyone. If we don't invite my sister to join us, it will seem disrespectful to her. Although my sister will definitely not mind, we can't be rude."
Luo Qingzhou said helplessly: "Okay. But..."
Qin Weimo asked: "But what?"
Luo Qingzhou squeezed her little hand and whispered, "It's a bit embarrassing..."
Qin Weimo couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, sister won't care, let's go."
Then he turned around and said, "Sister Meijiao, let's go together."
Nangong Meijiao hesitated for a moment before walking down from the eaves.
Several people went out together and walked towards Lingchan Moon Palace.
Along the way, Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er held hands tightly together.
Nangong Meijiao followed behind in silence.
When we are almost at Lingchan Moon Palace.
Qin Weimo broke free and said softly, "Brother Qingzhou, remember to call Bailing and Xiachan along later."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and nodded.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, it creaked open. Bai Ling poked her head out and saw so many people standing outside the door. She asked in surprise, "Son-in-law, Second Miss, why are you all here together? Is there something wrong?"
When Luo Qingzhou was wondering what to say, Miss Qin said softly, "Bai Ling, is sister awake? Call her out, we need to go see father and mother."
Bai Ling was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she glanced at the two of them again, her smile faded slightly. Just as she was about to shake her head, Miss Qin Er said, "Bai Ling, you and Xia Chan should go together."
Bailing was stunned for a moment, said nothing more, and turned into the house.
Not long.
Qin Jianjia, wearing a snow-white dress, walked out with Bailing and Xia Chan.
Qin Weimo stepped forward, held her hand, and said softly: "Sister, Weimo wants to tell you something. Weimo wants to marry Brother Qingzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sister... Sister, do you think it's okay?"
Qin Jianjia paused, looked at her, then looked at someone, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Qin Weimo smiled, took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go find Daddy and Mommy and discuss it with them."
A group of people walked towards the hall in front.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind with Xiaodie, feeling both happy and embarrassed.
Nangong Meijiao suddenly slowed down, came over, and whispered: "Luo Qingzhou, how do you feel today?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Happy."
Nangong Meijiao looked at him and said, "Is it just happiness?"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "Princess, what do you want to ask?"
Nangong Meijiao glanced at the snow-white figure in front of her and said, "Don't you feel a little bit of loss or guilt in your heart? Or regret and reluctance?"
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her and said, "Why should I feel guilty? Why should I regret and be reluctant?"
Nangong Meijiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Because your ex-wife is very beautiful, not just ordinary beautiful, but unparalleled beautiful in the world. Don't you feel sad every time you see her? She should have been yours, but you didn't cherish her... Now, you can't have her anymore, don't you feel regretful and reluctant in your heart?"
Luo Qingzhou frowned and said, "Princess, I like the second young lady, you should know that. Besides, I have never failed to cherish the eldest young lady, it's just..."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, "It's just that you have never taken the initiative. Jianjia's character is not born this way. As her husband, you don't try to influence her with love, nor do you take the initiative to accompany her and cherish her. You are always so distant to her, so it has become the current situation. I said that you don't cherish her, isn't it wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Princess, no matter what happened before, I am now getting married to the Second Miss. You suddenly mentioned this, what do you want to do? Or... do you have other intentions?"
Nangong Meijiao looked away from him and sneered, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to remind you that Jianjia has never let you down. She gave you a chance, and it was a chance for many months. It's your own fault, you can't blame others."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I don't blame anyone. And I've already said that I like the Second Miss."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at her and said, "Do you only like Wei Mo?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the other figure and said, "Princess, I don't think I have to answer your question, right? Besides, why did you suddenly become so gossipy and talk so much?"
Nangong Meijiao paused and snorted coldly: "I was just bored and asked casually. Luo Qingzhou, you are not a man!"
After saying that, he quickly walked to the front and ignored him.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her slim back and muttered to himself: You know best whether I am a man or not.
The group quickly arrived at the hall.
As soon as it was light in the morning, Zhu'er went to inform Song Ruyue.
So at this time, Qin Wenzhen, Song Ruyue, and Qin Chuan were already waiting in the hall.
Song Ruyue said with a smile on her face: "Master, that boy is finally eager to marry Wei Mo. Now I can finally rest assured."
Qin Wen Zheng drank tea and didn't say anything.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Mother, wait until the date is confirmed. I will go to Longhu College again today to meet my elder brother. I hope he has time to come back by then."
Song Ruyue nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to tell Lang'er."
Then he added, "Master, we still need to inform Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle. Isn't time a bit urgent? We can do it a few days later."
Qin Wenzheng glanced at her and said, "Don't bother others at this time. Let's just have a meal as a family."
Song Ruyue immediately said, "How can that be possible? I have already told them that I will notify them in advance to come to Kyoto."
While the two were talking, Qin Weimo and his group entered the hall.
Qin Wen Zheng stood up immediately.
Song Ruyue had a bright smile on her face, but when she saw her eldest daughter, she immediately restrained it a little and said with a smile: "Jianjia, come and sit with mother."
Qin Jianjia did not sit down but stood aside.
Song Ruyue glanced at her face, her heart ached for a moment, and she forced a smile on her face and said, "Qingzhou, Weimo, Zhu'er only told me roughly this morning. If you have anything to say, please say it again in front of everyone."
Luo Qingzhou stepped forward and bowed, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I have discussed with Wei Mo and plan to get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I hope you two will agree."
Song Ruyue immediately smiled and said, "I agree, of course I agree. After the Mid-Autumn Festival? Let's work out a good date, and then we can invite your second uncle, fourth uncle, second aunt, and fourth aunt to come over, so that everyone can have a good time. You can also ride a horse to stroll around the street by then."
Qin Weimo stepped forward and said, "Mother, we have already chosen a date, which is the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said, "So urgent? That won't work. Your second uncle and fourth uncle are still in Yangzhou. They..."
"Mother."
Qin Weimo interrupted her and said softly, "Let's just have a meal together as a family, and don't invite Second Uncle and the others."
Song Ruyue frowned and asked, "Why?"
Nangong Meijiao helped explain, "Aunt, it's not appropriate to make a big fuss recently. It's too lively."
As he spoke, he told the story of Concubine Zhang, Zhang Yan'er, and the eldest princess.
Then he added, "My uncle has offended many nobles by resigning his title, and now the princess can't protect us. We must be low-key in everything we do. If someone catches us, it will be difficult to deal with."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she realized the seriousness of the matter. The joy in her heart suddenly disappeared. Her face turned pale and she said, "Meijiao, what should we do?"
Nangong Meijiao said, "We can just have a meal together, let Luo Qingzhou and Wei Mo wear wedding gowns, and toast you two elders. If you really feel bad about it, just wait for a chance in the future and give them a lively wedding."
Song Ruyue had a bitter face.
Qin Weimo also advised softly: "Mother, Weimo thinks this is a good idea, and Brother Qingzhou also agrees."
Qin Wenzheng said, "Wei Mo, Qing Zhou, Daddy respects your opinions. At this time, safety is the most important thing. As long as you truly love each other, it doesn't matter whether you get married or not. There is no need to stick to those formalities."
Qin Chuan at the side also smiled and said, "Dad is right, I think so too. Qingzhou, Weimo, I will try to call big brother back to celebrate with you."
Song Ruyue glanced at him and he immediately shut his mouth.
Although she felt uncomfortable, seeing that everyone said so, and for the safety of the mansion, she had to agree: "Okay, then, I'll listen to you, but the mansion still needs to be decorated well, and the wedding gown must be worn, and other etiquette must be followed."
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "All of this is up to mother."
Song Ruyue sighed, and lost interest in talking about other things. She said, "That's it. Your father and I will prepare for this matter. You don't have to worry about it. You can get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, Qingzhou will move to Weimo's place. We can't be separated anymore..."
Having said this, she glanced at her eldest daughter beside her and stopped talking.
If they had lived together instead of separately after getting married, maybe now...
Why…
She sighed secretly in her heart, then looked at Nangong Meijiao and said, "Meijiao, call Xueyi over as well. It will be more lively with one more person. Otherwise, the mansion will be too deserted."
Nangong Meijiao hesitated for a moment, glanced at someone, and nodded, "Okay."
Song Ruyue suddenly looked at Luo Qingzhou again and said, "By the way, Qingzhou, don't you have a very good friend in Kyoto? Last time when you treated Wei Mo, he was so generous and gave you Fire Fox Tears. This time when you get married, you must invite him to have a meal. Where does he live? If it's not convenient for you to go, I'll ask someone to send a wedding invitation."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Meijiao showed a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth and turned to look at someone.
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "Mother-in-law, that person doesn't like crowds. I'll take a pot of wine and a few bags of wedding candy over when the time comes. There's no need to call him over."
Song Ruyue frowned and said, "How can that be? That would be too disrespectful. Wei Mo needs Fire Fox Tears, not just once or twice, but every month in the future. If you don't invite him to your wedding day, what will he think?"
Nangong Meijiao on the side suddenly said: "Aunt is right, Luo Qingzhou, you really have to invite him to the wedding. How about this, after lunch, I will go with you to invite him."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and saw that she curled her lips slightly.
Qin Wenzheng also said: "Qingzhou, no matter if they come or not, you have to go to their house in person to tell them, otherwise it will be impolite."
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go out this afternoon and ask him. But the princess doesn't have to accompany her. The princess didn't go home last night, and the prince must be very worried. It's better for her to go back early."
Nangong Meijiao said calmly, "It's okay. Aunt Mu has already sent someone back to tell my father. My father is relieved that I'm here. Luo Qingzhou, you're welcome. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so I'll go with you. And I'm also very curious about who that person is and why he has a spiritual creature like a fire fox at home."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else.
