They were both smart people. There were many things that did not need to be said explicitly to know each other’s intentions.
At this point, the act was over.
He had also used Zhou Linghuai’s identity to go to the capital, but because of his identity as “Zhou Linghuai”, he had an inexplicable fate with the Yu
Residence and had an alliance oath with a young lady for the rest of his life.
It was probably all predestined.
He was destined to have an inexplicable fate with Zhou Ling, and that was indeed the case.
Ye Hanyuan sighed slightly. “Since he has severed ties with the mortal world, I won’t disturb him.”
The person in charge of Youzhou was a young master. Although he was born sick and weak, he was born with wisdom. His father named him Linghuai. The name “Jingzhi” meant looking up when there is a tall mountain.
He hoped that he would be both talented and capable. If he saw a tall mountain and could admire it, he would always be humble. Only then would he see virtue.
Later on, this young master of the Zhou family with the name “Jingzhi” met another young heir with the name “Jingzhi.”
They had an incomprehensible fate.
King You had named Yin Huaixi Jingzhi from a quote. “In the grand hall room, the scenery will follow the light. Cross the vast sea and to reach the river.” He hoped that Yin Huaixi could become a noble person in the future.
One who would see a tall mountain and look up to it.
One who would be a noble mountain and radiate light.
This was the entanglement of fate .
At that time, King You probably wouldn’t have thought that Mount Song was too high to reach.
A dragon swam unafraid of the vastness of the four seas.
Everything was just about fate.
Zhou Linghuai did not say much and only said, “This trip to Jiangnan is filled with danger. I hope you take care!”
Ye Hanyuan nodded. “You take care.”
With that, Ye Hanyuan did not stay any longer.
After walking out of the pavilion, with a whistle, the sound of hooves came from nearby. A tall horse with black mane galloped over.
In the blink of an eye, it stopped beside Ye Hanyuan.
Ye Hanyuan stroked the horse’s head and got on.
“Giddyup!” The horse raised its head and neighed, galloping towards the official road like a gust of wind.
Ye Hanyuan held the reins of his horse, and the cold wind whistled in his ears. It was as if the young girl in red was whispering in his ear—
“Ye Hanyuan, with me protecting you in the future, no one can bully you…’
“Ye Hanyuan, so what if you can’t take the imperial examination? It’s not like there’s only one path in the world. At the very least, I’ve never heard that stutterers can’t join the army…”
“Ye Hanyuan, it’s not like you were born with a stutter. As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely be able to overcome it…”
“Ye Hanyuan, it’s a deal. In the future, come and look for me at this time every day. I’ll help you overcome your stutter…”
“Ye Hanyuan, recite it with me. Yin Ruocha is the most beautiful girl in the world. If you dare to stutter, you’ll be dead…”
“Ye Hanyuan, that Young brat, Yin Huaixi, mocked me. He said that I was a tomboy and would definitely not be able to get married in the future. He was beaten up by my father. My father said that if I couldn’t get married, I could be matched with someone. There are many good men with a bright future in the army. As long as he gives the order, there will be many people queuing up to be my husband…”
“Ye Hanyuan, do you have any dreams? Is there something you want to do with your life?”
My lifelong dream is to marry you.
Even though you’re no longer around!
I want to miss you like this too!
Zhou Linghuai watched Ye Hanyuan’s horse leave, his heart filled with sorrow. The sky had just cleared not long ago, but at some point, it was dark. The cold wind carried the rain and snow into the Storm Pavilion.
Yu Youyao got out of the carriage and walked into the pavilion through the snow. “It’s snowing.”
Zhou Linghuai nodded and raised his hand to lift the hood on the little girl’s fox fur cloak and put it on her head. “Let’s go back!”
Soon, it would be difficult to walk on the main road in the rain and snow.
Chang An pushed the wheelchair and sent Young Master back to the carriage. Then, he returned to the pavilion to help Chun Xiao pack her things.
The carriage was warm. There was a small charcoal stove on the table and ginger tea was brewed. The entire carriage smelled of ginger and spicy food.
Yu Youyao took a bowl of ginger tea and handed it to her cousin. ‘You were freezing outside for a long time just now. Hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm your body.”
Zhou Linghuai noticed that she had raised the teapot high and slowly poured ginger tea into a bowl.
When Jiang Cha handed it to him, he reached out to take it.
The temperature was no longer hot. He lowered his head and took a sip.
Although it was still a little hot, it was more suitable to take small sips. Often, her every move was considerate.
Yu Youyao asked curiously, “What did Cousin say to Ye Hanyuan just now?
Zhou Linghuai held the ginger soup. “He asked me to fulfill the promise my father made to him back then and fulfill his marriage with my eldest sister. He wanted me to give him the other half of the token.”
Yu Youyao was suddenly stunned.
Actually, when she came, her cousin had told her about the fate between Ye Hanyuan and King You’s residence in the carriage. He had mentioned Princess Changning, Yin Ruocha, a lot, and she had vaguely guessed something.
As the son of a state official, there was no need for Ye Hanyuan to submit to the King Li of Zhou. He had endured the burden in Youzhou for many years and risked his life. He did not hesitate to turn against his father and escape into the capital to avenge the King Li of Zhou.
Everything he did did not match the upbringing and responsibilities of a descendant of an aristocratic family.
But he had done it.
Yu Youyao felt a lump in her throat. “Then Cousin…”
“I’ve fulfilled his wish.” Zhou Linghuai lowered his head. Smoke rose from the ginger tea in his bowl. There were red dates and longevity meat floating on the ginger tea. “He’s never been on my chessboard. If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else. He willingly joined the game and was willing to be reduced to a chess piece. He’s already done enough for King You’s residence and my sister.”
Yu Youyao felt terrible, but she tried her best to smile. “He got what he wanted.
Don’t feel bad.”
King Li of Zhou was benevolent.
Ye Hanyuan was the same.
This was just a grievance after having no more choices left.
Since ancient times, there had been empty regrets. Good dreams were the easiest to wake up from.
How could it be easy to free oneself from holding a torch for someone? Poor thing.
Things change quickly, and things change in a blink of an eye. A lover’s heart is easily changed.
If it weren’t for the parting, his heart would have broken, and his tears would have drenched his clothes.
This poem was the best portrayal of Ye Hanyuan’s long life in the future. How sad was it? It was also like the snow that filled the sky.
The carriage clattered back to the residence along the official road.
Yu Youyao and her cousin went to An Shou Hall.
Old Madam Yu quickly prepared ginger soup. She stared at the two of them until they finished it before looking away.
Yu Youyao looked bitter.
Zhou Linghuai casually picked up the golden orange on the table, peeled it, and handed it to her to eat.
Old Madam Yu shook her head and changed the topic. “This morning, Heir
Song sent a greeting card to the residence and planned to visit tomorrow..”
