Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu didn't answer. He stood coldly under the umbrella, watching the sky above his head slowly turn white.

It's like he has white hair.

"Did you know this a long time ago?" she asked softly.

Xu Jinxuan knew what she was asking, but he still deliberately said, "What?"

Then he immediately pulled her arm and said, "Let's go back."

The girl refused to move, but he was concerned about the wound on the right corner of her abdomen, and her eyebrows raised slightly.

Just a moment ago, Lin Yu woke up and thought a lot.

She and Ming Yuan had met before. When she was summoned to the outside of Kunning Palace for the first time and was freezing and staggering, it was the "Seventh Prince" who reached out to support her.

But he has not recognized me since then until today.

Lin Yu knew very well that the reason for the delay was probably because Ming Yuan had just gained the qualifications to compete with others.

From now on, Xu Jinxuan is no longer her only support in the palace.

"What if I say I don't want to go back with you?" He, A Yuan, and Lin Yu knew what to choose with their eyes closed.

"Lin Yu!" The man reminded her in a heavier tone, "You are already mine."

So, this was his reason for breaking the contract.

Lin Yu looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"No, I'm not."

If chastity was a means for him to threaten her, then she didn't want it.

Not far away, the tall boy was standing there quietly, waiting for her to make a choice.

Lin Yu shook off the person beside him and ran towards Mingyuan like a young swallow flying into the forest.

As if she was afraid that he would get sick if he got caught in the snow, she raised her umbrella only to his shoulders, but she still struggled to raise her arms to protect him under the umbrella.

The young man leaned over and took the umbrella handle from her after a moment.

"Can you take me away?"

He didn't say anything in front of people, just nodded slightly.

Lin Yu walked beside the man, actually a little surprised that Xu Jinxuan didn't catch up with him.

Even if she didn't look back, she could imagine the tall and thin man standing there with his head covered with snow.

In fact, Lin Yu did not dare to look back. She tried to empty herself and not think about her complicated feelings towards people. She only wanted to ask Tan Fang: "Is the princess not here yet?"

"Her Royal Highness sent someone to tell her that the snow was too heavy and she should come another day."

This was exactly what was happening. Lin Yu said "OK" and turned her attention back to the man beside her.

He seemed to have specially prepared a sedan chair. The two of them got into it together. It was closed off everywhere, but the wind and snow stopped.

She pressed herself closely against the person and noticed that there were water stains on her cloak, the light red color was about to turn dark red.

Although the weather is cold, my heart is warm.

Even when sitting, the man was much taller than her, and his overly broad body made her look extremely petite, as if she was confined to a corner of the sedan.

When Lin Yu raised his head, he saw that familiar pair of eyes. The eyelashes were long and slender, and when they drooped, there was a kind of childlike innocence and clarity.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" She couldn't wait any longer and asked while still in the sedan chair.

Mingyuan's eyes did not change when they fell on her. He did not rush to answer. Instead, he leaned down and lowered his head towards her, with an intimate posture as if he wanted to hug her.

Lin Yu was nervous for a moment but did not avoid it. His body was not touched, and only his voice was pressed against his ears: "For today, I can take you away."

The servants of the Lin Mansion are incapable, and it is possible for him to become the Seventh Prince again.

Lin Yu guessed that this might be the case, but he also found that it was not very convenient to talk outside, as his earlobes were tickled by him.

When Lin Yu saw him standing up again, his heart beat faster.

In the sedan chair, it was still too close.

"Go back and talk slowly."

Compared to Chonghua Palace, Wangyue Pavilion where Mingyuan's biological mother lived was very remote. It was located in the southeast corner of the harem, very far away from the emperor's Qianqing Palace.

The palace is large, but it is also empty and deserted. I guess people in the past never decorated it carefully, which is why it looks so empty.

Lin Yu noticed that except for the eunuch who held an umbrella for him in the parade ground, the other palace maids and eunuchs would not even enter the palace.

Lin Yu left Zhu Lian Qing Dai outside so that she could go into the house and talk to Ming Yuan later.

She was full of confusion, so she sat down and immediately asked, "What about your voice? How did you cure it?"

He went up the mountain to ask for the Gu in order to help him regain his voice, but he didn't expect that in the end, the thing he asked for was of no use to him, and instead he got better.

Now, no matter what it was, she just wanted to listen to him speak more and memorize his voice.

"I went to see the imperial physician, who said it was a heart disease, and later on, I was cured."

As for how he was cured, he didn't want to recall it again.

With the python that he once feared the most wrapped around his neck, he endured and overcame the eerie and suffocating atmosphere, and finally got to where he is today.

But because he usually pretended to be mute, no one could make him speak, so his sentences were short and seemed extremely awkward.

Lin Yu nodded, unable to hide her joy, but looking around, she was still worried: "Are you not afraid of Xu Jinxuan now?"

"Xu, Jin, Xuan."

This name was unfamiliar to him, and Lin Yu added: "Logically speaking, he is your fifth brother."

But the two brothers are worse than their enemies.

Ming Yuan said calmly: "I'm not afraid anymore."

Lin Yu was too curious, so even though he could speak, just like before, most of the time he just listened to Lin Yu talking.

"Then what's your real name?"

Seeing her pair of beautiful eyes sparkling with light, the young man raised his lips and answered: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Yuan, which means a hidden dragon in the abyss. I haven't given it a name yet."

This was Lin Yu’s original explanation of this word.

"In other words, A Yuan is your real name."

He nodded slightly.

"then you……"

She was about to ask something else when there was a careful knock on the door.

An eunuch outside said, "Your Highness, Chonghua Palace has sent a sedan chair to pick you up, and I'd like to ask..."

Mingyuan couldn't speak, so Lin Yu raised his voice: "What do you want to ask?"

The young eunuch continued, "Ask Miss Lin what she wants for dinner so that we can prepare it in advance."

Who said she was going back for dinner?

Lin Yu thought so and said, "Take the sedan chair back and tell them that only Chonghua Palace has sedan chairs. Why are they showing it off?"

She was so rebellious that she stood up. No matter how she was reminded and urged to go back, she just wouldn't do as she was wished!

The eunuch outside the door was silent for a while before responding and disappearing at the door.

The young man stared at her pretty face with a bit of disgust and anger, and slowly stroked the fabric of her knees with his fingertips. He found that she was facing towards him, and their knees were almost touching.

Lin Yu looked back at the person in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more happy he felt.

Then he said, "When I saw you at the training ground just now, I couldn't recognize you. Now it seems like a dream."

She moved closer, stared at the man's face and asked, "Are you really my A Yuan?"

That good-tempered A Yuan who always puts her first and who dares not even say he likes her.

The young man did not answer, but took out a piece of red rope from his chest.
