Chapter 725: Bridging the Barriers
Hearing that Princess Jinyang arrived, the people in the newspaper office were a little surprised at first, but then they all began to act, either cleaning up the clutter on the table, or tidying up their appearance, especially those young people, who were even more excited. Because they all know that Princess Jinyang is the most favored daughter of His Majesty today, and she is also the most favored sister of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi, and she has not been married until now, in case she is favored by the other party, it is equivalent to a step to the sky.
Shangguan Tingzhi also knew that this was the hottest princess in the Tang Dynasty, and he also heard that Her Royal Highness the princess was extremely beautiful, and she refused to marry at the age of twenty, and many young scholars admired Princess Jinyang, but he didn't know that Princess Jinyang was the woman Mingda he thought about day and night.
Because he already has a heart, Shangguan Tingzhi didn't have any other thoughts about the arrival of Princess Jinyang, but according to etiquette, he sorted out the messy things on the table, and then continued to eat his own buns, his eyes were also focused on the manuscript in front of him, so many manuscripts need to be proofread by him, if he doesn't hurry, he may have to take them home tonight to work overtime.
It was at this time that a team of palace maids walked into the newspaper hall, lined up on both sides, and then a woman wearing palace clothes, accompanied by several important figures of the newspaper office, walked into the newspaper hall with elegant steps and very light. I saw that her wonderful eyes swept through the newspaper office, and finally fixed her eyes on Shangguan Tingzhi's body, and her beautiful face also showed a charming smile.
When the son-in-law came in, Shangguan Tingzhi, like everyone else, stopped what he was doing. Then he stood up to greet the arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess, only when he was a little curious. When he looked up at the princess who walked in, he saw a pair of eyes that were extremely familiar. And he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Ming...... Informed? Shangguan Tingzhi was stupid all of a sudden, with an incredible expression on his face, no matter what, he didn't expect that he would meet the person he thought about day and night in such a sudden situation.
And after seeing Shangguan Ting, her heart suddenly rose a little apprehensive, but she still mustered up the courage and walked in front of Shangguan Court with brisk steps, looking at each other quietly with a pair of wonderful eyes. After a long while, the son lightly opened his lips and said, "Tingzhi, long time no see!" ”
When she saw Her Royal Highness the princess come in, the eyes of the entire newspaper office were focused on the son, especially the young men, who showed their best state one by one, hoping to leave a good impression on the princess. But what everyone didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness the princess actually walked straight in front of Shangguan Tingzhi and took the initiative to speak. This made many people disappointed, and at the same time, they were secretly jealous of Shangguan Tingzhi's good luck in their hearts.
Hearing the son's voice, Shangguan Tingzhi woke up from the shock, but the surprise on his face flashed. Instead, there was a deep doubt, and his eyes looked his son up and down, but there was a look of hesitation in his eyes. Although he can be sure. The person in front of him was the Mingda he thought about day and night, but he didn't think of it anyway. His own Mingda turned out to be the most favored princess of Datang, and he didn't even know how to call each other?
"You...... Are you a princess? "It took a while. Shangguan Tingzhi took the initiative to break the embarrassment between the two, but his voice was full of dryness, in his opinion, with his own identity, it was impossible to get together with the princess no matter what.
The reason why the son came to Datang Daily today was to come to Shangguan Tingzhi, and the reason why she came with such fanfare and came as a princess was also to let Shangguan Tingzhi know her identity, this is not what the son wants to show off, but she doesn't know how to explain her identity to Shangguan Tingzhi, so in the end, she can only let Shangguan Tingzhi know her identity in this most direct way.
"Yes!" When the son saw the pain in Shangguan Ting's eyes, his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. But then she took a long breath and plucked up the courage to speak again, "Tingzhi, let's go out for a while, I have something important to tell you!" ”
"Hmm!" Shangguan Tingzhi nodded, then turned the table and walked to the son, but he kept a distance of more than two steps from the son, which was obviously different from when the two got along.
For the changes in Shangguan Tingzhi, the son also saw it in her eyes, and her heart trembled, which was what she was most worried about before, although the identity of the princess looked noble, but in her interactions with others, it would also bring her a kind of estrangement, so that people did not dare to approach at all, even Shangguan Tingzhi was no exception.
After the son and Shangguan Tingzhi left the newspaper office, the staff of the entire Datang Daily were all blown up, they never thought that Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess of Datang, would come to them in person and take away an ordinary colleague beside them, although the two did not talk much, but the fool could also see from the eyes of the two parties that the relationship between them would definitely not be so simple.
It is precisely because of the ambiguous relationship between the son-in-law and Shangguan Tingzhi that the entire Datang Daily began to speculate about the relationship between the two, and from Shangguan Tingzhi's only question, it can be inferred that although he thought of Princess Jinyang in advance, he did not know the true identity of the other party.
In addition, Shangguan Tingzhi's family history has also been picked up, speaking of Shangguan Tingzhi's father, Shangguan Yiguan worships Secretary Lang, although he is a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, but after all, he is only a six-grade petty official, so Shangguan Tingzhi's identity is obviously too different from Princess Jinyang.
With the above, soon smart people guessed the general idea of the matter, which was nothing more than a chance encounter between a poor son and a princess who traveled in casual clothes, and then developed a love story. This kind of story often appears in legendary wild history, but in reality, the vast majority of people encounter it for the first time, and it is precisely because of this that many people have shown unusual interest in it, and even the editor-in-chief of several newspapers has emphasized several times that it is forbidden to discuss this matter again, but it has no effect.
However, the son and Shangguan Tingzhi didn't have time to care about the reaction of those people in the newspaper, the two of them did not leave the newspaper office, but came to a quiet garden in the front courtyard of the newspaper, and then the son sat down by a stream across the garden, with his back to Shangguan Tingzhi, and lowered his head and quietly looked at the stream under his feet.
Shangguan Tingzhi in the back looked at the slender figure of the son in front of him, and his heart was also very contradictory, if it was placed in the past, he would now be standing side by side with his son, or pointing out the beautiful scenery in front of him, or chatting about some gonzo he heard, which made the son giggle, but now due to the huge gap in identity, this made Shangguan Tingzhi suddenly feel that there was a huge gap between himself and his son, which made him dare not get close to his son for half a step.
The reason why the son has not spoken, in fact, she is waiting, waiting for Shangguan Tingzhi to be able to stand side by side with her as before, and then smile and chat about some happy topics, but she also knows that she is really a little greedy, although Shangguan Tingzhi loves herself, but she is also a polite scholar, and it is impossible to treat the world's etiquette as child's play like her sixth brother.
Thinking of the sixth brother Li Su, the son-in-law thought of his seriously ill father, which made her heart ache, and then turned around, her eyes staring at Shangguan Tingdao: "Tingzhi, first of all, I want to apologize to you first, I haven't told you my identity in the long time we've known each other." ”
"Ming ......" Shangguan Tingzhi saw his son-in-law apologize to him, and immediately wanted to stop it, but just when he wanted to call out the word 'Mingda', he suddenly thought of the identity of his son, and immediately stopped talking, stood there and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to ......"
"Call me Mingda, my name is Mingda!" Before Shangguan Tingzhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by his son, and at the same time stared at the other party with eyes full of anticipation.
Shangguan Tingzhi heard the words of his son, his expression was also shocked, when he looked at his son's eyes, there was also a surge of realization in his heart, the woman in front of him was Mingda, who was bitterly lovesick, although she was the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but what did it matter, as long as Mingda had himself in his heart, all this was enough for himself!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Tingzhi's face also showed excitement, and he took two steps forward without hesitation, standing opposite his son, and the breath between the two was closer than ever. And the son was also taken aback by Shangguan Tingzhi's boldness, but she didn't dodge, but lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to meet Shangguan Tingzhi's gaze.
It was the acquiescence of the son's attitude that made Shangguan Tingzhi much bolder, only to see him stretch out his palm, gently grab the son's slender jade hand, and call softly: "Mingda!" ”
Feeling the affection in Shangguan Tingzhi's tone, the son-in-law also felt extremely sweet in her heart, and what made her even happier was that when Shangguan Tingzhi called out her name, the estrangement between the two because of their identities had disappeared without a trace, and the feeling that the heart and heart were close together at the beginning finally came back again.
In the early morning light of summer, a pair of young lovers stood on the bluestone next to the stream, holding hands opposite each other, although no one spoke, but at this moment, any words were superfluous, and everything was already silent.
However, this sweet picture did not last long, because the son thought of her seriously ill father again, which made her brows furrow, looked up at her sweetheart, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Tingzhi, I came to you today, in fact, I have a very important thing to tell you!"
