Author: Thirteen pure onesMachine Translation
She looked good in everything, but she did not know who Gu Yan was going to bring her to meet. Xia Ling asked Ying Chun to find her a veil.
What if Gu Yan did not want her to meet anyone?
She was well prepared. When she got into the carriage, she saw Gu Yan in a black robe.
His clothes were mostly black.
Xia Ling's white dress had been made for a couple.
At first glance, she looked very harmonious when she stood with him.
This was because the dark patterns embroidered on her white dress were somewhat similar to the patterns on Gu Yan's black robe. However, Xia Ling had softened them to make the woman look more gentle and beautiful. This was all Xia Ling's secret intention.
Thinking of the first time she was beside Gu Yan, Xia Ling tried her best to be generous, but it was not eye-catching.
However, Gu Yan looked at her with a subtle expression, as if she had sized her up many times, but also as if today's trip was somewhat different.
Xia Ling steadied her mind and sat beside him. Even if gu Yan sized her up repeatedly, she did not show any fear.
She followed Gu Yan all the way until they arrived at a private room in a hidden restaurant.
It did not seem like Gu Yan would come to a restaurant that did not have any style.
However, when Gu Yan entered the private room, Xia Ling followed closely behind him.
The man's gentle and handsome face in the private room suddenly entered Xia Ling's eyes.
"Xia Ling! " The man stood up with a smile and called out.
Before his voice faded, he saw Gu Yan's cold and handsome face. All the smiles and tenderness froze on his face.
"Lord Xia, long time no see. " The end of Gu Yan's thin lips curved slightly. It was as if she was amused, but also as cold as a cat catching a mouse.
Back when the four kingdoms signed the document of defeat, this Xia Li had left a deep impression on him.
At that time, Gu Yan had given Xia Li face out of consideration for the state of Zhou's weak battle strength.
However, he had not expected that the face he had given him would become the capital for him to gain a foothold and be widely praised?
"Prince... Gu Yan! Long time no see. " The stiff Xia Li glanced at Xia Ling who was standing behind Gu Yan from the corner of his eyes and calmly bowed to Gu Yan ...
"The Xia kingdom's messenger ship is still on the way. What is so important that Crown Prince Xia has rushed to the state of Zhou in such a hurry? " Gu Yan was still cold. His smile disappeared, and his sinister aura suppressed the people in the room, making people not dare to breathe loudly.
Xia Li was a shrewd person.
After bowing, he also came back to his senses.
He smiled and looked back at Gu Yan gracefully.
"nothing else. I just heard that Gu Yan's residence has a beautiful concubine who is very similar to my cousin who passed away a long time ago, so I wanted to meet her. What if I can make friends with her and ask this beautiful concubine to help my Xia kingdom put in a good word to the regent king and reduce next year's tribute? "
"Oh? Cousin? " Gu Yan's expression did not change as he looked at Xia Ling at the side. "I didn't know that Xia JI actually looked similar to the eldest princess of Xia Kingdom? "
"It was just a moment of delusion. Since the Regent King knew about it and brought Xia Ji along for the appointment, then this matter is just a moment of foolishness. It has nothing to do with Xia Ji. Please don't vent your anger on others. ". "I have no selfish feelings with Xia Ji, and this matter has nothing to do with Xia Ji. "
"Lord Xia is really elegant and considerate. " Gu Yan's tone was indifferent.
He held Xia Ling's hand and in front of Xia Li, he caressed Xia Ling's fair and smooth fingers in his palm, looking like he doted on her to the extreme.
"Lord Xia, Xia Ji is the person in my heart. I don't need the Lord's Advice, I will naturally dote on her. Today, I came to see the Lord. I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the east of the city. Xia's culinary skills are pretty good. I invited the Lord to have a taste. The Lord will do me the honor. "
Xia Li looked at Xia Ling at the side. "When the Regent King Speaks, Xia Li doesn't dare to disobey. "
Xia Ling stood beside Gu Yan.
From Xia Li's eyes, she saw tenderness and comfort.
Xia Li seemed to be a very gentle person. This tenderness and comfort was not excessive, it was just a simple gesture of goodwill.
If Xia Ling really still had feelings for Xia Li, then the words that Xia Li had said for her just now, and the look of comfort in his eyes now, would make Xia Ling feel a sense of attachment to Xia country, a sense of attachment to Xia Li.
Thinking about it carefully in her previous life, wasn't it because she had met Xia Li that she had placed all her hatred on the stepmother and daughter, thinking that Xia country was good, desperately working in the political situation in the capital to seek a glimmer of hope for Xia country?
However, she was a princess of a country.
If not for the acquiescence of the emperor of Xia country, without the acquiescence of Xia Li, how could she have been able to stun her with one hand and send her on a small boat to the country of Zhou?
In Xia Kingdom, she was a princess.
But in the state of Zhou, once she became a student of Shang Le Square, she would be a dancer for the rest of her life.
This was already an indelible mark of her.
Seeing that she had been pampered by Gu Yan, she wanted to squeeze more out of her and see if she could gain some benefits for Xia Kingdom?
Xia Ling would not be stupid anymore.
Lowering her eyes, she directly avoided Xia Li's gaze. Her expression was very cold, and her eyes were very calm.
Xia Ling could feel that although Gu Yan did not speak, he was still looking at her.
Xia Li was stunned by Xia Ling's reaction again.
However, he had already trained his face to be able to move freely. He smiled and acted as if nothing had happened.
On the other hand, Gu Yan did not seem to have seen the collision between Xia Li and Xia Ling.
"Let's go. The carriage is already prepared outside. "
He said lightly.
As if he had forgotten, Gu Yan held Xia Ling's hand and did not let go until they reached the restaurant in the east of the city.
Did this confirm his love for her?
Xia Ling could feel that Xia Li, who was so experienced, could not help but look at the hand that they were holding.
A man who was rumored to kill without batting an eye and was extremely cold-blooded, suddenly had a favorite concubine, and even when they went out, they still held hands and did not avoid outsiders at all.
Such a change was something that even Xia Li could not accept for a moment.
However, this could not stop Xia Li from flattering Gu Yan.
As they toasted each other, Xia Li did not seem to see Gu Yan's out-of-line action. He smiled calmly and enjoyed the banquet with Gu Yan.
Gu Yan did not speak, and he was also full of witty remarks.
This kind of ingratiating behavior would make people feel detestable if it were someone else.
Xia Li was born well. His behavior carried the calmness of a nobleman. Looking at his sincere and warm expression, even Xia Ling admired his skill in speaking.
A man who could win the face of his country when signing the defeat document could only be arrogant.
Xia Ling sat at the side.
Xia Li spoke to Gu Yan, and she served Gu Yan.
She helped Gu Yan taste the dishes and helped gu yan refill the wine.
She was used to doing these things in the Gu residence. In this restaurant, she did not avoid Xia Li and continued to do so.
Xia Li's thoughts were complicated as he watched the woman refill the wine with her bare hands.
Even though her face was covered in this white veil, Xia Li could recognize her at a glance as the Xia Ling that he had given up on.
After not seeing her for a long time, Xia Ling had changed a lot... ... But she was still so beautiful ...
Hiding these emotions in a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, Xia Li drank a few more glasses.
