The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

The betrothal ceremony has now come to an end.

The sunlight shines through the window pane, slanting onto the red carpet, swaying slightly.

The joy began to play again, slowly and slowly.

The Shen Mansion was still bustling inside and outside.

This was the last time Shen Runing and Luo Mian saw each other before their wedding.

Chunzhi helped Shen Runing up and slowly left the front hall. The hem of her skirt swept across the red carpet, dropping bits of golden light.

When he reached the door, Shen Runing stopped for a moment.

She didn't turn around, but just tilted her face slightly to look at Luo Mian, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Luo Mian looked at her, his throat moved slightly, and he felt an urge to walk towards her step by step.

She only glanced back and he was completely defeated.

After a moment, Shen Runing finally turned around.

The two of them stared at each other from afar, motionless, as if all the troubles in the world were separated from them.

She looked at him.

He looked at her too.

Eyes intertwined, lingering, pulling, and interlacing in the air——

There were no words, but emotions were surging.

It seems that a gentle glance can speak a thousand words:

——"I will come tomorrow."

——"I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Shen Runing's heart beat slightly, and the tips of her ears turned red. She finally lowered her head slightly to hide the affection in her eyes.

Without looking at Luo Mian again, he walked away.

Luo Mian's eyes narrowed inch by inch until Shen Runing completely disappeared from his sight.

Wei Jiuzhao came up with a smile and joked in a low voice.

"Prince Regent, we just received the betrothal gift today, and you look as if you've lost your soul."

"Tomorrow we'll get married and enter the bridal chamber, won't you be terrified?"

"Get lost."

Luo Mian threw out two words expressionlessly.

Wei Jiuzhao looked "worth it" and turned away with satisfaction...

Shen Li finally stopped "rushing around" at this moment, and instead had an expression that said "this general has learned to stay calm", standing in the corner, watching and listening...

Shen Kuo laughed.

"Overall, you performed well today."

Shen Li glanced at him.

"Do you think I'm really a person without any sense of propriety?"

He paused and turned away.

“I just haven’t found the right opportunity yet.”

Shen Kuo had such a headache that he sighed to the sky.

But he also understood that Shen Li was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and he truly loved Ning'er.

The imperial edict from the palace had already arrived

——Tomorrow at noon, the Regent’s Palace will welcome the bride. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory will personally determine the auspicious time: the nine stars are in their proper positions, the three yangs are inauspicious, and it is appropriate to fulfill the promise of a hundred years.

At this moment, Luo Mian walked out of the front door of the Shen Mansion, glanced at the people guarding outside the door, and suddenly spoke.

"Thank you all for coming today."

His tone was as cold as ever, yet it also carried a softness that he had never had before.

The crowd suddenly became excited!

"My lord is mighty!"

"Miss Shen is so lucky——"

"Don't miss tomorrow's wedding! We have to hurry and get a good seat!"

……

Luo Mian stood with his hands behind his back, just listening to these sounds quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

That smile made many women blush on the spot.

Wei Jiuzhao saw it in the crowd and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Tsk, when the Regent smiles, I wonder how many girls will cry in their dreams tonight."

Luo Mian seemed to sense something and glanced back at him.

Wei Jiuzhao immediately raised his hands in surrender: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'll shut up."

Afterwards, Luo Mian jumped onto his horse, fluttered his cloak, and slowly left with a group of people, leaving behind the sound of wind and the spring atmosphere in the city.

……

Shen Runing returned to the dormitory.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the gauze in the room is fluttering, bringing with it a few wisps of warm breeze.

She sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror. The person in the mirror pursed her red lips, but her eyebrows and eyes were a little dazed, as if she was still stuck in the glance and smile in the front hall just now.

Chunzhi approached cautiously.

"Miss, are you tired?"

Shen Runing slowly came back to his senses and shook his head gently.

"……Not tired."

After a pause, she raised her head.

"Is he...gone?"

Spring arrives and returns.

"I just left. When I passed by the front yard, I saw the prince talking to the people outside the gate. A lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement. It was very lively."

After hearing this, Shen Runing smiled slightly.

"it is good."

The sunlight fell on her shoulders, inch by inch, outlining the girl's jade-like profile.

"Tomorrow... I'll wait for him to come."

-

Happy times always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was late and night fell quietly.

From time to time, the laughter and whispers of Chunzhi and Qiuzhi could be heard from Shen Runing's bedroom, which was warm and quiet.

the other side.

After taking a bath, Shen Kuo was wearing only a layer of moon-white gauze and sitting at the desk in his bedroom.

He was twisting a page of paper with the details of tomorrow's wedding procession in his palm, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression solemn.

Tomorrow is Ning'er's wedding, and as her brother, he can't make any mistakes.

He went over the process again and again, checked the personnel, and drew up contingency plans. He even silently rehearsed every step of the wedding sedan's route at least ten times...

However, he was still afraid that something might be wrong, so he continued checking here.

The copper bell on the window frame swung gently, making a tinkling sound.

The night wind blew past, also rolling up his thin robe, causing the corners of his clothes to lift slightly, revealing the lean and strong lines of his shoulders and neck.

At this moment, a very light "click" broke the silence in the room -

The window was opened from the outside.

It was a dark night and there was no candlelight. Shen Kuo couldn't see who was coming for a moment. He could only see a tall and slender figure climbing in through the window and landing almost silently.

But the familiar breath and the usual clean and neat movements made him guess who the visitor was almost instantly.

——Hao Chuan.

Hao Chuan stopped and then moved closer.

Shen Kuo stood up and then stepped back.

"Hao Chuan...you..."

Shen Kuo's voice was filled with surprise and some unconscious panic.

The moonlight outside the window slanted in through the open window frame, outlining the blurry figures of the two people.

As their eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, they could finally see each other's faces clearly.

Hao Chuan smiled lightly.

"Don't be afraid, Kuo'er, I'm not here to disturb you,"

There was a pause.

"I came to say goodbye to you."

Shen Kuo raised his eyebrows.

"Goodbye?"

Before he could ask in detail, Hao Chuan took a few steps closer.

Shen Kuo retreated again, but forgot that there was a table behind him. His knees hit the corner of the table and his body suddenly leaned back.

Hao Chuan was quick to act and supported him, his hands clasping Shen Kuo's waist.

Upon touching it, both of them were shocked almost at the same time.

Shen Kuo's face changed instantly, and he quickly reached out to push him away, increasing the distance between them.

"Um……"

"Where are you going? When are you leaving?"

Hao Chuan lowered his head, looked at his empty hands, and a barely visible bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I'll leave tomorrow."

His voice was low and hoarse.

"As for where to go, I haven't decided yet... Anyway, as long as I leave Tianyan... that's fine."

Shen Kuo's throat tightened slightly and he was speechless for a moment.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional clanging of a copper bell.

After a moment, Shen Kuo spoke.

"Then I wish you..."

"Bon voyage, the mountains are high and the road is long, don't look back."
