Chapter 907 This is True Love
Under the moonlight, the Di Sheng Palace with its jade towers, golden palaces, pearl towers and icy silk looks like a palace in heaven.
Gu Mengzhen was just about to go to bed when he heard a palace maid report that Lord Zhuang wanted to see him, so he was granted the opportunity to see him.
Fang Zhixuan entered the hall, finished the ceremony, and took a seat.
Gu Mengzhen smiled kindly and stared at him.
"Brother, what brings you here so late at night?"
Fang Zhixuan was very respectful and cautious.
"I am sorry for disturbing you, my brother."
Gu Mengzhen smiled dotingly.
"How can you be so polite? We are a family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Fang Zhixuan in a nutshell.
"I have learned that Miss Leng is secretly dating someone."
When mentioning Leng Man, a hint of disdain appeared on Gu Mengzhen's lips.
"Why is there a secret?"
"She didn't try to hide it at all, and almost told me directly that she was having a blind date."
Fang Zhixuan used clever words to test his heart.
"Since my royal brother knows, I will not say more and will tell you about her blind date."
"I think she would rather marry a countryman than submit to the emperor Jin's subjects. Perhaps, she has no other intentions. From the beginning to the end, her ambition has never changed."
Gu Mengzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Look, you've been fooled by her again."
Fang Zhixuan acted confused.
"Brother, where did you get this from?"
Gu Mengzhen analyzed it slowly and carefully for his brother.
"She acted this way to lead us to think that she had no ulterior motives, so that we could trust her again."
"Let me ask you, is it because she doesn't want to submit to King Di Jin? No."
"She wanted to surrender to King Dijin, but she was disgraced and had no way to surrender."
"King Dijin values his reputation very much and pretends to be kind and righteous. How could he accept a girl who is despised by everyone as his own subject?"
Fang Zhixuan suddenly realized and responded quickly.
"Yes, yes, what my brother said is absolutely right."
Gu Mengzhen placed his ginseng tea in front of his brother, meaning to give it to him.
"You, you've been so smart all your life, but every time you meet Leng Man, you always fail."
"Alas, we Zhuang people are all devoted and infatuated. This is an advantage, but sometimes it is also a disadvantage."
Fang Zhixuan followed his wishes, picked up the ginseng tea and took a few sips.
"Please don't misunderstand me, my royal brother."
"I have already forgotten Miss Leng, and my heart is only in love with Madam."
Gu Mengzhen patted his shoulder.
"Okay, fine, forget it."
"Don't look at Leng Man now, she is trying to show her sincerity to us in every way; she didn't get a response from me, so she turned around and turned her face to show her sincerity to King Di Jin instead."
"Just watch, she is a very shameless person, and she has some unspeakable means."
The night is vast, everything is silent, and Shangshu County is as tranquil as a painting.
Leng Man had one dream after another, and her childhood scenes kept reappearing. Shao'er grew up and turned into the appearance of Lord Jingshan.
When she woke up, she saw that it was dark. She got up from the bed, carefully covered her daughter with a quilt, then walked to the window and looked into the distance.
Sensing movement beside her, Xu Yingyuan slowly opened her eyes and saw her mother standing by the window in the dim moonlight.
She threw back the quilt, got out of bed and walked away.
"Mom can't sleep?"
Afraid that her daughter would catch a cold, Leng Man took out a coat and put it on her beloved daughter.
"The nightmare keeps going on. I won't sleep for now."
Xu Yingyuan moved two chairs, placed them by the window, sat down, and accompanied her mother to enjoy the scenery.
"Nightmare?"
"I dare to speculate, was it the Emperor or Lord Zhuang that mother dreamed of?"
Leng Man corrected solemnly.
"You are not right in saying this."
"How can dreaming about them be a nightmare?"
Xu Yingyuan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"So you dreamed about Lord Jingshan?"
Leng Man raised her eyes, looking proud and arrogant.
"Dreaming about him is indeed a nightmare."
"But, if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. He can't appear in my dream."
Xu Yingyuan curled her lips, unhappy.
"Of all the things in my mother's body, her words are the toughest."
"If you dreamed about it, then why don't you want to admit it?"
"My child is sincere and honest, how can mother bear to joke with me?"
Leng Man corrected her attitude.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't joke around."
The stars in the sky were as beautiful as a dream. She gazed into the distance, and a hint of sweetness unconsciously appeared at the corners of her lips.
"I dreamed that Shao'er grew up and became Duke Jingshan."
Xu Yingyuan raised her eyebrows.
"Oh?"
Leng Manyiu talked to her.
"Tell me, does God really like to play tricks on people?"
"I expected Shao'er to grow up to be upright and kind, but he has changed beyond all recognition. What's even more puzzling is that the aura that should have belonged to Shao'er has been given to Lord Jingshan by God."
"Does God think that we are evil people and unworthy of good morals, while Lord Jingshan is a good person and should be loyal, righteous and just?"
"If Shao'er hadn't changed, I wouldn't be in such a miserable situation."
"It would be great if Lord Jingshan could return his spirit to Shao'er."
Xu Yingyuan's smile deepened.
"Isn't it enough to move you to have the aura that your mother loves so much when it comes to Lord Jingshan?"
Leng Man glanced at her.
"Look at you, you always have such misunderstandings."
"My feelings towards Shao'er are just loyalty."
"No matter who his charm is, I will not be tempted."
There was a hint of wisdom between Xu Yingyuan's eyebrows.
"I thought otherwise."
"Mother's feelings towards the Emperor are mixed with selfishness and are not pure. I feel that they are just a bit of possessiveness."
"Master Xu, it goes without saying that mother knows clearly in her heart that there is only family affection at most."
"You treat Lord Zhuang very differently."
"I have often listened to your stories and I know them by heart. I am familiar with every detail and understand how my mother feels about Master Zhuang."
"In his early years, he was exiled, and either he didn't remember to say goodbye to you, or he didn't have time to say goodbye to you."
"Given my mother's temperament, she would definitely be angry after experiencing this. However, my mother was just worried, and she immediately begged my grandfather to find a way to save Mr. Zhuang."
Leng Man took it for granted and didn't find it strange.
"I know he was exiled, so I'm worried."
"He has such a miserable life. I don't have any sympathy for him, but how can I be angry? Isn't that unreasonable?"
Xu Yingyuan has a beautiful face and is as bright as the stars.
"Mother, listen to yourself. Even now, your mind has not changed. You still care about him without any selfish motives."
"This is just an example. There are many other things besides this."
"You treat Lord Zhuang like a close friend, and you also have a deep love for him. You also have a feeling of being close to brothers and sisters. We are in harmony with each other and have no resistance to each other."
“This is true love.”
"Before, I only analyzed it in my mind and didn't tell my mother too much, because I thought that Master Zhuang could not be trusted."
“Now, things are different.”
Her thoughts gradually became clear, and Leng Man became more depressed.
"Now, what's the difference?"
"Don't forget that he has a wife, and he is devoted to her, not even taking a concubine."
"They have three children and they are very happy and enjoy the family life together."
"How can I bear to destroy beauty?"
Xu Yingyuan spoke eloquently.
"I'm not referring to the Lord Zhuang in the Zhuang Mansion."
"In your dream, mother, didn't you see Lord Jingshan as Shao'er?"
"The one you love is Shao Er, not Master Zhuang."
"To you, Lord Jingshan is Shao'er."
"Lord Jingshan is single, and his mother is also unmarried. I think they are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
