Chapter 266: Eldest Grandson
In the past two years, the eldest grandson has undergone a lot of vicissitudes, although his face is still beautiful, but his temples have been faintly dyed with a trace of white frost.
A touch of fear suddenly rose in Ning Chen's heart, an unprecedented fear.
The eldest grandson has always been a beautiful and strong image in his eyes, and it is not until today that he found that the eldest grandson was also getting old unconsciously.
In his heart, the eldest grandson is his only elder in this world, and no one can replace him.
Gently pushing open the door, without making a sound, Ning Chen walked into the room, looked at the sleeping figure on the bed, and knelt down silently.
The brilliance of the night pearl shines on the plain clothes, reflecting a deeply guilty heart, kneeling on the ground, at this moment, he is no longer the Marquis of Great Xia, but just a wanderer who has been away from home for a long time before returning.
Lime didn't stop it, and stood quietly aside, silently waiting.
In the quiet dormitory, the kneeling plain clothes, motionless, two years have passed, too many things have changed, the only thing that has not changed is the desperate love of protection.
If there is no eldest grandson, there will be no Ningchen today, this kind of situation is difficult to return in a lifetime.
The cold moon shone in the sky, and gradually went westward, I don't know when, the eldest grandson above the phoenix, opened his eyes, just sat up, suddenly felt the familiar breath not far from the bed, turned his eyes in disbelief, and the next moment, his body trembled, and tears flowed silently.
"Coming back?"
The saddest thing in life is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, once she thought that on the Wuhou Temple, that piece of the tablet, will be placed by her personally, and the wooden tablet sent by her is carved thousands of times, and the knife is in her heart.
Today, he is back.
"Come here," the eldest grandson beckoned and said softly.
Ning Chen got up, silently walked to Feng Qiu's side, and sat down.
The eldest grandson raised his hand and stroked the face of the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of tears again~, and said, "Grown up"
She still remembers that when he first entered the palace, he was still a reckless teenager, and three years later, the former young man has faded away from his childishness and has really grown up.
Ning Chen didn't know what to say, no matter how good he could speak, his tongue was like a lotus, at this moment, only his heart was full of guilt.
It was not early outside, and the hour was approaching, although the night had not yet dissipated, the eldest grandson had no sleep, and got up and walked down the phoenix.
In front of the dresser, the bronze mirror reflects a beautiful face, and the passage of time has not left too many marks on the face of the person in the mirror, as it was when we first saw it three years ago.
Lime stepped forward, picked up the silver comb on the stage, and was about to groom the eldest grandson as usual.
"I'll come," Ning Chen took the silver comb and asked softly.
Lime nodded, and stepped aside.
After two years of leaving, the eldest grandson's hair was longer, hanging down on his back and reaching his waist, Ning Chen took the comb, his expression was calm, and he combed it seriously.
The familiar warm atmosphere is so reassuring, only in this Weiyang Palace can he let go of his vigilance and no longer think about the ups and downs outside.
In the past, when he was the weakest, it was the eldest grandson who protected him again and again with his wings, and now he has ascended to the congenital level, and he does not need the eldest grandson to protect him, but he can still feel the peace only by her side.
"Your sister, not bad," the eldest grandson said softly, looking at the shadow in the mirror.
"Ning Xi?" Ning Chen asked.
"Well, this palace has recognized the righteous daughter, but before she gets married, she will continue to live in your Wuhou Mansion," the eldest grandson said.
"As long as Ning Xi is willing, Ning Chen naturally has no opinion, it is all up to the mother's arrangement," Ning Chen replied.
"What about yourself, the little princess of the barbarian dynasty and Xinyu arranged for you by this palace, you have refused, now there is someone you like, if you like any girl, this palace will personally propose to you" The eldest grandson said seriously.
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, what he was most afraid of was that the eldest grandson mentioned this matter.
"Niangniang, Ning Chen has entered the congenital, Shouyuan is not an ordinary person, there is no need to be in such a hurry" Lime said.
The eldest grandson was silent, and after a long time, he looked at himself in the mirror and muttered, "But this palace can't wait."
A very light sentence made the bodies of the two people present tremble, looking at the trace of white hair looming between the long hair of the eldest grandson, and their hearts were unusually sour.
The eldest grandson is really no longer young, a mortal life is only sixty years, the eldest grandson is not congenital, and it is impossible to wait forever.
"It's all up to the mother's arrangement" Ning Chen suppressed the sourness in his heart, no longer insisted, and spoke.
"Three years"
The eldest grandson naturally hoped that Ning Chen could be with the person he liked, and he didn't want to be too reluctant, so he said softly, "If after three years, you haven't found someone you like, then this palace will arrange it."
Three years is not a short time, at that time, she is not confused, and it is also the longest time she can wait.
Although it has been sixty years for a mortal, there are not many people who can really live through the year of destiny, and in the past two years, she has gradually felt that her body is getting worse day by day.
Daxia customs, the relatives of the younger generations must have the blessing of the elders, Xinyu, Ziyi, and the imperial uncle who is still alive, and Ning Chen behind her, she is the only elder, and she is the person she is most at ease with.
After combing his hair and the rest of his makeup, Lime stepped forward to take it, and Ning Chen stood aside and waited quietly.
Since retiring behind the scenes, the eldest grandson has rarely stepped out of Weiyang Palace, and his makeup has become much simpler, looking a little less luxurious and a little more plain.
After the winter, there was just a snow in the summer, and in the back garden of Weiyang Palace, it was covered in silver, which was very beautiful.
The eldest grandson was supported by Lime and Ning Chen, walking on the road in the back garden, when he suddenly saw a maple tree in the corner of the wall, and paused slightly.
Ning Chen looked at it and immediately understood what the eldest grandson was thinking.
"At the beginning, I heard Lime say that you just climbed from this tree to the roof of her house to look at the stars, and disturbed her rest," said the eldest grandson with a faint smile on his beautiful face.
"Well, I just entered the palace at that time, I didn't think about it so much, I saw a tree by the wall and climbed up, I didn't expect that below was Sister Lime's room" Ning Chen said.
After speaking, Ning Chen glanced at the woman on the other side and said with a smile, "However, Sister Lime has a good temper and doesn't bother with me."
"Click" Lime turned his head, his right hand clicked on the ground, the warning was very obvious, and the kid's skin was itchy again.
The eldest grandson smiled, how could he not hear the meaning of the complaint in Ning Chen's words, but he didn't pay attention to it, the juniors were playing, let them toss.
The three of them walked in the back garden, many times, there were not so many words, two years have passed, there are too many things to talk about, and they really want to get to the mouth, but they don't feel that necessary.
The rising morning sun shines on the body, bringing a slight warmth, the eldest grandson is tired of walking, the three of them sit on the stone bench in the garden to rest for a while, lime with a thick cotton cushion, sitting on it will not be cold, will be specially prepared for the eldest grandson.
Ning Chen watched Lime carefully prepare everything, sighed inexplicably in his heart, and also sat down beside the eldest grandson.
There won't be too much time like this, and he can only cherish every moment.
Not long after, a delicate little palace maid walked into the back garden, saw the three of them, and saluted, "Niangniang, Hou Ye, breakfast is ready"
The little palace maid is very strange, and she is not very old, she should have only entered the palace for a short time, and it is indeed a blessing to be assigned to Weiyang Palace.
Ning Chen answered, and immediately helped the eldest grandson to get up and walked towards the outside of the back garden.
The little palace maid followed behind, her pretty little face was flushed, her eyes were full of admiration, she also saw the battle last night, Lord Wuhou is really amazing.
Whose young man is not affectionate, whose girl is not pregnant with spring, the best years for the little palace maid to bloom uprightly, of course, there will be admiration for heroes.
Lime shook her head helplessly, and didn't break the little girl's dream, but just settled the account on Ning Chen next to the eldest grandson.
Breakfast has been sent to the hall, very simple, are light vegetarian, these two years, the eldest grandson has not killed, not stained meat, many people in the palace said, compared to the Buddha in the temple, their mother, but more like the Buddha.
In fact, the people of Daxia do not believe in Buddhism, and the eldest grandson, as the queen of the world, is naturally the same, but whether she believes it or not, she still hopes to pray for him more.
After breakfast, the people outside the palace will also come one by one, and it is not suitable for Ning Chen to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to the eldest grandson.
Knowing the fate of the Hou Mansion, people up and down, all know that the Hou Ye will come back today, one by one, looking forward to it, the old housekeeper's excited tears are rolling, waiting at the door early in the morning, more than two years, the Hou Ye is finally coming back.
In the house, Ning Xi walked around anxiously, and her delicate doll face was also full of excitement.
Next to him, Liu Ruoxi was much quieter, but the tears in the double model revealed that his mood was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a plain white figure Yi Yi came from afar, step by step, looking at it seemed to be far away, and after a few steps, it was already in front of the house.
"Brother"
Ning Xi reacted first, and immediately ran out of the door and pounced, Lan Jun, who was born in a dangerous building, even if he was dragged by the eldest grandson to the princess etiquette for a long time, he forgot all about it at this moment, and cried regardless of the image.
"Hou Ye"
Liu Ruoxi stepped forward and bowed, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't hold back anymore and dripped down.
"Okay, let's all get up, let's go home first."
Ning Chen patted Ning Xi's back, then gently pushed it away, glanced at the group of people kneeling in front of the mansion, and said.
"Yes"
Everyone got up, and the old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the people blocking the road and invited the Hou Ye to enter the house.
Soon, the news of the return of the Marquis spread to the ears of every prince and nobleman in the imperial city, and the posts of visit continued to depart from each mansion with generous gifts and came in the direction of the Hou Mansion.
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, in a room, the ghost girl looked at the woman who was in a deep coma on the bed, turned her palms and urged her body, and the vast true qi was continuously injected into the latter's body.
After a long time, the ghost girl withdrew her hand, looked at Ning Chen next to her, and said solemnly, "My ghost source can only help her maintain her life for a while longer, if you want to save her, you have to find another way."
