Princess Taiping slowly walked out from the backyard.
Because of the departure today, the officials of Chang 'an and even some rich families of Chang' an had come to see them off. So Princess Taiping was dressed up. She was still charming, but she looked more noble than usual.
The first thing she saw was Yang Fan. She stared at him deeply, but didn't say anything. Yang Fan was the same. Even if everyone thought they had the most intimate relationship between a man and a woman, they still had to restrain their feelings.
The moment she saw Yang Fan, Princess Taiping's eyes flashed a trace of reluctance, but it was immediately replaced by a strong look. She had to leave no matter how reluctant she was. Going back to Luoyang was more important than staying with her Langjun, no matter how long she had been looking forward to being with him in Chang 'an.
Since the day she was born and became the daughter of an empress, she was no longer just a woman. Love, husband, children, and family were never everything to her. Princess Taiping just stared at Yang Fan deeply, and then smiled and nodded to Hu Yuanli, Sun Yuxuan, Maqiao, and others, accepting their worship.
Miss Hu Fei accompanied Princess Taiping. She was still in the Miao costume, but she had more jewelry than when she was in the Barbarian Province. Her head, neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, waist, ankles, and her whole body was covered with round, flat, thin, and long bells, tubes, and tassels, shining with silver light.
These were all bought by Sun Yuxuan for her. Women from the Central Plains would find it cumbersome to wear more than four or five pieces of jewelry. Maybe it was because of the special shape of these Miao ornaments, or because of the special color of Miss Hu Fei's clothes, but these silver ornaments were very suitable for her. They didn't feel complicated at all, but they made her more beautiful, revealing the unique cleverness of a Miao girl.
Even when she walked, her whole body jingled, and the sound was as sweet as music, without a trace of noise. Sun Yuxuan's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw her, but he still maintained the reserved face of an official. Miss Hu Fei didn't care about that. She was already happily flying to her man with a touch of charm.
Princess Taiping's housekeeper came to her side and reported in a low voice, "Lord Sun, officials of Chang 'an, and aristocratic families are waiting for Your Highness in the front hall!"
Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fan's body tilted to one side, his eyelids drooped, his eyes were lifeless, and his breathing was weak. Fortunately, Feng Yuanyi, who was standing next to him, was a ten-year-old urchin, but his body was as sturdy as a fourteen or fifteen year old boy, so he was able to support Yang Fan.
Princess Taiping stared at Yang Fan, and there was an undisguised amusement in her eyes, and said, "You off.
Yang Fan, it is better. "Yang Fan smiled dryly.
Princess Taiping said snappily, "We haven't reached the front hall yet."
"Taiping" Taiping's Taiping said. Ping. Ping. "Taiping" Princess Taiping, "Liu, Taiping, Liu Liu, Liu Taiping" Princess off.
As soon as Liu Qietian and the others saw Princess Taiping appear, they all went forward to greet her. Yang Fan was also one step ahead, leaning on Feng Yuanyi's body with a sickly look.
Liu Qiantian paid his respects to Princess Taiping. When Princess Taiping was chatting with the Guanlong family members, he saw Yang Fan's appearance and couldn't help but walk up to him. He asked curiously, "Doctor Yang, you …"
Liu Qietian greeted Princess Taiping, and when Princess Taiping was talking with the Guanlong nobles, he saw Yang Fan's condition. He couldn't help but walk forward, and asked curiously, "Yang Langzhong, you …"
Liu Qietian said in surprise, "So it is like this. Have you asked a famous doctor to treat you?"
Yang Fan nodded slowly, "I have. Sickness comes … like a landslide, and goes … like … spinning … silk. I have to … rest. "
Liu Qietian rubbed his teeth and said, "Doctor, you have to be careful on your long journey."
Yang Fan said weakly, "I can't go. Your Highness is kind enough to allow me … to recuperate here." Just as he said this, a servant hurriedly came to report, "Your Highness, Dugu Yu and Dugu Ning Ke have arrived."
Princess Taiping was holding hands and chatting with a lady of the Wei clan. Hearing this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "Ning Ke is here? Why is he … I will go and welcome him! "
Princess Taiping certainly knew that Ning Ke was suffering from a chronic illness and didn't have many opportunities to go out. Although they were childhood friends, Princess Taiping wouldn't be surprised if she didn't come to see him off. Hearing that she was coming, Princess Taiping was really shocked, and wanted to go and welcome her personally.
Unexpectedly, she had just taken two steps when Dugu Yu and Ning Ke walked into the hall. The maid who used to dress as a boat girl held Ning Ke's arm. Ning Ke stood straight, and didn't use the maid's strength. The maid supported him just in case the girl suddenly fainted.
Taiping hurriedly came forward to greet them, and the others also followed.
Among the crowd, Yang Fan was supported by Feng Yuanyi, who was dressed as a servant in cyan clothes and a hat. He looked so weak that he seemed to be even more delicate than Miss Ning Ke, which was really eye-catching. How could Miss Ning Ke not see him? They looked at each other at the same time.
Ning Ke slightly frowned her eyebrows. Ning Ke had been sick for a long time, and her eyesight was very sharp. Besides, she seemed to have an innate ability to see through Yang Fan's mind, so she just took a glance at him and felt, "This guy seems to be pretending to be sick!"
Yang Fan also felt a little guilty, "How can this weak little girl's eyesight be so sharp? It seems that she saw through me."
Princess Taiping and Dugu Yu said a few polite words, and then came to Ning Ke, held her arm, and complained, "You! I won't blame you if you don't come. You don't have to take the trouble to come by yourself. "
Ning Ke said softly, "You have been living in Luoyang for a long time, and it's rare for you to return to Chang 'an. How can I not see you off?"
The two chatted for a while, and then everyone boarded the carriages, ready to send the princess out of the city.
Princess Taiping helped Dugu Ning Ke to sit in the carriage with her. It was easy to distinguish the other people. The officials all rode horses, while the aristocratic families all rode ox-carts. There was only one exception — Yang also rode in an ox-cart, and his carriage drove slower than those of the aristocratic families.
At the Ten Miles Pavilion, everyone stopped, and it was time to say goodbye to Princess Taiping. Ning Ke got off the carriage, supported by her personal maid, and stood side by side with Yang Fan, who was also pretending to be weak.
Everyone said goodbye one after another. Princess Taiping had returned the salute, boarded the carriage, and turned her head. Finally, she couldn't help staring at Yang Fan, and then gently raised her hand. With a pull of her hand, the bamboo curtain of the sedan slowly fell down, covering her beautiful hair, her black brows, and her pair of eyes that were staring deeply into the distance …
The whip cracked in the air, and the princess's carriages, escorted by 300 Dragon Guards, set off for Luoyang.
Standing next to Yang Fan, Miss Ning Ke withdrew her gaze from the carriages, and said in a low voice, "Yang Langzhong didn't go back to Luoyang with the princess, is it because he is not feeling well?"
Yang Fan was about to let Feng Yuanyi help him turn around and board the carriage, but stopped when he heard this.
Miss Ning Ke's lips curled into a mysterious smile, "The Dugu Family invites several famous doctors to stay in their mansion all year round …"
Dugu Yu, who was beside her, understood and said hurriedly, "Look at Erlang, you look so weak. Why don't we ask our doctor to treat you again?"
"Uh … Okay … Then … I will … some other day …"
"Hey! There is no other day. Come on, get on my ox-cart. Since you are sick, of course, the sooner you are treated, the better! "
Dugu Yu took Yang Fan's other arm, and dragged him into his carriage. At this time, the aristocratic families and the officials were about to leave, and no one paid special attention to their conversation.
Yesterday at Qu Jiang's Hibiscus Garden, Li Taigong wouldn't make a big deal out of it, Dugu Yu wouldn't make a big deal out of it, Liu Qian Tian wouldn't make a big deal out of it, and the people of the Lu family wouldn't make a big deal out of it. Other than a few important figures of the aristocratic families who already knew the whole story, most people were still in the dark.
Today, those who came to see off Princess Taiping were the younger generation of various aristocratic families. They hadn't heard the news, otherwise they wouldn't have ignored this "delicate" Yang Langzhong.
Seeing Yang Fan board her eldest brother's carriage "with difficulty", Ning Ke couldn't help but smile. Today, she forced herself to see off Princess Taiping with her sick body, but her main purpose was still Yang Fan.
For her next plan, she planned to let her Elder Brother go with her or follow her to Luoyang. Now that Yang Fan stayed because of his "illness", it was really a surprise. How could she not take Yang Fan to the Dugu Mansion? Yesterday in the Lotus Garden, Li Taigong's eyes, as if he had found a treasure, could be hidden from others, but not from her.
She and Li Taigong were a pair of friends who had a hobby of collecting antiques. When Yang Fan was about to leave, Li Taigong looked at him as if he had found a living treasure that had been buried in the soil for thousands of years. Ning Ke guessed that Li Taigong might immediately send someone to the Gongsun Mansion after knowing that Yang Fan didn't go with the princess.
"What a pity! 'Green Damask' was taken by Li Taigong, but Yang Fan fell into my hands first. "Thinking of this, Ning Ke couldn't help but smile.
Ning Ke was sitting in the carriage, and his smile was seen by the "boat lady", which really shocked her.
She had been responsible for taking care of Ning Ke's daily life since he was very young.
Miss had strict rules. Except for her, who had been taking care of Miss since she was born, no one was allowed to enter Miss's room easily. Miss's body couldn't accept other people's touch, so she was always the only one who took care of Miss's bath. In fact, the closeness between her and Miss was even less than that of Miss's mother.
So in this world, there was no one who knew Miss better than her. Although Miss spent most of her time awake in contemplation, it was rare to see her smile when she was thinking, not to mention that her smile was so sweet. In the boat lady's mind, this kind of situation could be counted on one hand, and the other few times had happened when Miss was a child or a young girl.
Yang Fan got on the carriage. As soon as the curtain was put down, he sat up straight, his eyelids were no longer drooping, and he was no longer listless. He knew that the Dugu siblings had seen through the truth, so why did he still pretend?
Yang Fan said to Dugu Yu with a smile, "Brother Dugu, why did you drag me into the mansion? To hold a banquet to apologize?"
"No!"
Dugu Yu said very seriously, "I want to make a deal with Lang Zhong!"
