Turin love story

Xu Linfeng didn't have much impression of this Miss Shelley, but only remembered that she once pursued He Yuanzheng, and the trouble was very unpleasant.However, most of the reasons were caused by He Yuanzheng. He didn't give Shelley any chance at all, and rejected her directly, so that Shelley went abroad not long after.

Why did she come to the hospital? Did she want to have a relationship with the royal family? Maybe she saw the decline of the cabinet?Xu Linfeng still couldn't figure it out for a while.

Maybe seeing her in person will have the answer.

Under the guidance of the butler, Shelley soon appeared in front of Xu Linfeng.

Xu Linfeng glanced at her. Compared with before, she has not changed much, but she has cut her hair short, making her look more capable.He remembered that when he saw Shelley for the first time, she was still wearing a heavy U-neck traditional dress, and her soft blond hair was all tied up in a bun, making her neck look slender and fragile, which was a very traditional appearance.Her scarlet lips were warm and unrestrained, which made her complexion fairer. Although there were so many beauties at the banquet, her classical temperament was still dazzling, and Xu Linfeng immediately remembered it.

"Good day, Your Majesty the Queen." Shelley made a very standard curtsy.

Xu Linfeng nodded in greeting: "Good day, Shelley... Ma'am." Xu Linfeng noticed that she was wearing a ring inlaid with rubies on her ring finger, and was a little surprised for a moment.

When Hull introduced her just now, he used Miss. Although ordinary people don’t pay much attention to it, the Shelley family has a hereditary title, so it is necessary to make clear the question of title. How could Hull make such a mistake?Did he not notice that Shelley was wearing a ring?

But doubts are doubts, Xu Linfeng's gaze just swept across the back of her hand lightly, without stopping at all, he smiled and said, "Please sit down."

Shelley sat down gracefully, and the attendant brought two cups of tea.

"The conditions in the hospital are limited, and I have to control my diet recently. Your Majesty brought a can of tea from home." Xu Linfeng said politely, "I hope you don't feel too light."

Drinking tea is the habit of Jinghai people. Apart from his preference for sweets, Xu Linfeng also has a special liking for tea. He Yuanzheng will send someone to collect some new tea for him every year.

The tea was clear and translucent, sweet and mellow in the mouth, Shelley smiled and shook his head: "How could it be, Your Majesty, the tea is delicious."

Although he has been a queen for so many years, Xu Linfeng still doesn't like such social occasions very much. He often refuses invitations to banquets under the pretext of work, and is too lazy to deal with these nobles.

Shelley took a sip of tea, leaving a light red lip mark on the rim of the cup: "Your Majesty, you look really good."

Xu Linfeng was noncommittal.

"Actually, last month I heard that you were in a car accident, so I took the liberty to visit you." Shelley continued, "I just saw the news from Roger Associates that day, saying that your life was dying, but it was very late. The royal office is about to refute the rumor that you were just born prematurely. Although I don’t want to think that the office is hiding the truth, but you have not shown up for such a long time, I am always a little worried... Looking at you now, I know that the news must be made up .”

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Linfeng didn't know there was such a thing, his face remained unchanged, "Thanks for your concern, it's just a little accident on the way to work, Chenchen was born early."

"That's good. I'll just say that you are a lucky person with a natural appearance. How could such an accident happen?"

There was a smile hidden in the end of Xu Linfeng's warm eyes: "I should have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, but His Majesty is worried and asked me to stay for a few more days. The environment in the Royal Hospital is not bad. Just now I was hugging Chenchen to bask in the sun."

"Your relationship with His Majesty is still so good." Shelley sighed.

Xu Linfeng has studied micro-expressions very deeply, and he never let go of Shelley's flickering loneliness when speaking.

What's the matter with her?Xu Linfeng looked at her ring calmly, and found that the ring was a little loose, and the size did not fit her ring finger.

Perhaps noticing Xu Linfeng's gaze, Shelley put his hands on the back of his hands to cover up, blocking his sight.

"..." Xu Linfeng thought to himself, this is really interesting.

Not long after establishing a relationship with He Yuanzheng that year, Xu Linfeng knew that He Yuanzheng had many suitors like Shelley around him, but he didn't really care much about the others except Simona who gave him a headache.One is because of gender, and the other is that he fully believes in He Yuanzheng.

But not caring doesn't mean that he is willing to let the other party come to add trouble.

"Just kidding, isn't it the same after getting married?" Xu Linfeng said.

Shelley was taken aback when he heard his words: "Ah...is that so? Well, it seems to be the case."

Xu Linfeng looked at her with some surprise: "Speaking of which, time flies so fast. I haven't seen you for so many years, and I didn't expect you to get married. Sir Shelley didn't send me an invitation card, and I didn't even know about it. You Did you get married abroad?"

Although members of the royal family may not necessarily attend the wedding, families with hereditary titles will present an invitation to show their respect. Girl, it's really rude to get married quietly.

Shelley, who received an orthodox aristocratic education since she was a child, immediately blushed when she heard the words. To her, Xu Linfeng's words were no different from saying that she was uneducated. She suddenly withdrew her left hand and said embarrassingly: "No...no... ..."

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. It's the age, and you still care about the red tape." Xu Linfeng said with a smile, "I just mentioned it casually, don't take it to heart."

"Your Majesty, I..." Shelley was even more ashamed. She hesitated for a while, as if she was desperate, and admitted truthfully, "Actually, I'm not married."

It turned out that they were not married?Xu Linfeng thought to himself, that Hull was indeed right.

Then Shelley added: "That ring was, I gave it to refuse others to wear it, and I forgot to take it off after I got used to it."

"Really?" Xu Linfeng said perfunctorily.This explanation did not satisfy him, but made him even more confused, "So it's like this... I can understand that a person as outstanding as Miss Shelley must have had many difficult suitors during her time abroad." .”

"You are overrated, Your Majesty." Shelley shook her head lightly, "I don't think I am one-tenth of yours, or else—" She knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and she suddenly covered her mouth when she said this , looking at Xu Linfeng helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I..."

Xu Linfeng pretended to be stupid: "What's wrong?"

Shelley was so anxious that she was about to cry, her face flushed with shame, and she kept apologizing to Xu Linfeng.

"It's okay, Shelley." Xu Linfeng comforted her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's been so long, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, it really doesn't matter, I don't mind."

"But I don't mind!" said Shelley with red eyes.

"..." Xu Linfeng clearly saw the heroism in her eyes, and felt a little funny, "What's the matter, Shelley, you are not in the right state today, if you don't mind, can you tell me?"

"I, I actually came here this time to apologize to you, Your Majesty." Shelley said.

Xu Linfeng asked in surprise, "How?"

"I've been holding this matter in my heart for a long time. If I don't tell you, I will always have a bad conscience." Shelley stood up. She lowered her head and pinched the hem of her clothes nervously. Your Majesty the Emperor... jealousy has blinded my eyes, you are so dazzling, more beautiful than the stars in the night sky..."

Xu Linfeng: "..."

Xu Linfeng shivered.

"But I was not reconciled, so, so after Earl Song's birthday banquet, I disclosed the matter between you and His Majesty the Emperor to Duke He Qian." Shelley said anxiously, "At that time, I didn't know that he would... …I am very sorry for doing such a thing and causing harm to you and your family. I am sorry, Your Majesty..."

So it wasn't Simona who told her the secret?This was beyond Xu Linfeng's expectation.At that time, Xi Mengna posted rumors, and he was aware of the situation, so he thought it was she who revealed to He Gan that He Yuanzheng had a crush on him.

It turned out to be Shelley... Xu Linfeng said with a smile: "I thought it was some great event, let the past things go, I forgive you, Shelley."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shelley bowed sincerely to Xu Linfeng, "Thank you for forgiving me for my naivety. I came to visit you this time to admit to you the mistakes I made back then. If you, You really... I will hate myself for the rest of my life."

"Well, isn't it all right now?" Xu Linfeng said gently, "Stop standing, sit down."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." Shelley felt a sense of relief after finishing speaking, and seemed to have a knot in his heart.

Xu Linfeng asked the attendant to refill Shelley's teacup, and changed the subject, "It's such a good weather, it's suitable for drinking a cup of tea in the yard, or bring a camera to take pictures of the sunset, it's very beautiful."

"Yes." Shelley agreed, and suddenly she noticed a dark cloud in the sky, "but the sky will change soon."

"Weighton's weather is capricious. I have been abroad for a long time these years, so I don't remember?" Xu Linfeng teased.

"No, of course I remember. I'm from Witton, and I grew up here." Shelley said, "But in foreign countries, I'm more used to cloudy and rainy weather. There will be heavy rain all year round. You have to bring an umbrella."

That's the other side of the world.Xu Linfeng circled an approximate geographic location in his mind.

"Maybe it will rain heavily tomorrow." Xu Linfeng said.

"Heavy rain is suitable for funerals." Shelley suddenly said, "It's a bit offensive, Your Majesty, cloudy and rainy days always remind me of some unpleasant memories. Many of my good friends' funerals have heavy rain."

Xu Linfeng was a little confused, and said after deliberation: "...sorry."

Shelley sighed, unconsciously fiddled with her ring with her right hand, and the ruby ​​twirled on her slender ring finger: "But this is the normal state of life, Your Majesty, one must get used to grief."

Xu Linfeng was noncommittal.

Afterwards, the two chatted lightly for a while, Shelley looked at his watch, got up and said goodbye to Xu Linfeng: "It's getting late, I'm really bothering you today, Your Majesty."

"It's okay, I'm very happy that you can come to see me." Xu Linfeng's smile didn't reach his eyes, and Shelley's inexplicable appearance always made him feel uneasy.

She left quickly, disappearing through the door in no time.

And not long after Shelley left, Xu Linfeng fell into deep thought, a series of key words were connected in a string in his mind, and he was eager to find the connection between them.

Scarlett...informant...on the other side of the world...overcast...funeral...ring...

The ring, that ring...why doesn't it fit?

Because it wasn't Shelley's own?

But it doesn't seem so, and Shelley still attaches great importance to it.Xu Linfeng was puzzled, why is the ring so big?

It's like it's not worn on the ring finger. If it's not on the ring finger, then it has to be worn on the thumb...

Thinking of this, Xu Linfeng suddenly stood up and rushed to the door like a daze.

"Sean, Hull, stop her, don't let her out of the hospital, hurry——!"

He finally connected these strange points with Shelley's weird words.

In Turinian etiquette, a ring worn on the index finger signifies marriage proposal, the middle finger signifies engagement, the ring finger signifies married, and the little finger signifies celibacy.

And the ring worn on the thumb has nothing to do with marriage, it represents——

—Supreme power.
