Chapter 313 I Will Not Let Her Down
"How is it, the moon hasn't come yet?"
"Replying to Madam, someone is guarding the door. The princess hasn't arrived yet."
Qin Wan Ning was very puzzled. If Su Lingyue hadn't come, she would have definitely sent someone to tell her. Why is there no news until now?
"I don't know if something has happened. Wait a little longer. If it hasn't come yet, send someone to ask."
"Yes, young lady."
Qin Wan Ning sat by the window, watching the last ray of sunlight disappear behind the high wall, and then the sky became completely dark.
The biting cold wind blew across her cheeks, but she seemed unaware of it.
"Master!"
As Qiu Wen greeted her, familiar footsteps were heard at the door.
"A Ning, it's so cold, close the window."
There was a hint of pleading in He Yulin's voice.
Qin Wan Ning didn't look back, but just nodded, and He Yulin reached out and closed the window, just like before.
He Yulin was very happy that Qin Wanning was willing to accept his kindness.
"A Ning, this is the lotus root and pork ribs soup made by Zuixianju. The lotus roots were shipped from Yunmengze, and there are some other foods you like."
He Yulin put down the food box and the wooden box in his other hand as if he was presenting a treasure.
He took out a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup, a plate of eight-treasure steamed cake, a plate of crispy quail, and a plate of winter melon stuffed with shrimp.
The maid brought bowls and chopsticks, and He Yulin served Qin Wanning a bowl of lotus root soup and placed it in front of her considerately.
Qin Wanning took the bowl calmly and scooped a spoonful of lotus root soup into his mouth.
He Yulin looked at her with his peach blossom eyes and asked, "How is it?"
Qin Wan Ning pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "It's very sweet, you can drink it too."
It was a very ordinary sentence, but He Yulin's eyes turned red.
Although Qin Wan Ning's tone was not as cheerful as before, it was still a good start.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wan Ning said nothing, put down the bowl in her hand, and served He Yulin a bowl of lotus root soup.
Neither of them spoke during the meal, and He Yulin showed no intention of leaving after the meal.
After the maid had cleaned up the table, he pushed the box next to him in front of Qin Wan Ning, "A Ning, see if you like it."
Qin Wan Ning looked at the box in front of her, but she didn't feel as happy as she had felt when she received gifts before.
Her heart seemed to be empty.
Thinking of the loving times they had spent together before, Qin Wan Ning curled the corners of her lips and opened the box.
Inside the box was a pink gemstone butterfly hairpin and a pair of pink gemstone hibiscus earrings.
Pink gemstones are scarce, and this hairpin and earrings are finely crafted and look very expensive.
Qin Wan Ning curled her lips, stroked the hairpin and said, "It looks very nice, thank you. But you gave me a lot of jewelry before, and I can't wear them all. Don't be so wasteful in the future."
Aning said "thank you".
He Yulin felt unhappy.
He knew that Aning still had some grudges in her heart, but it didn’t matter, they still had a lifetime to spend together.
He will treat her better than before, and one day, An Ning will be as loving to him as before.
He Yulin held Qin Wanning's slender hand. Qin Wanning tried to break free, but He Yulin didn't let go. "A Ning, you are my wife. I will protect you for the rest of my life. I want to give you the best things in the world. Can you give me another chance?"
The corners of Qin Wan Ning's lips that had been raised with great effort slowly fell. After struggling for a moment, she slowly said, "Give me some more time!"
He Yulin felt relieved a little, as Aning still had him in her heart.
"The day after tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday, and we need to go and celebrate. Ning will look better than other noble ladies in this headdress."
"Well, you are thoughtful." Qin Wan Ning replied indifferently.
He Yulin joyfully held Qin Wanning's hand, his peach blossom eyes filled with affection.
At this moment, Qiu Wen at the door said, "Madam, someone is coming from Prince Su's mansion."
Qin Wan Ning pulled back her hand and asked, "Is Yue'er not here?"
Qiu Wen said, "No, the servant came to report that it was Guard Lin who came, and the princess wanted him to give something to you personally."
"Okay, let me see."
Qin Wan Ning stood up and walked out, followed by He Yulin, "A Ning, it's cold at night, put on your cloak!"
As he spoke, he took the cloak from the hanger, walked to Qin Wan Ning's side and put it on her.
Lin Chuan's tall figure stood under the dim light, waiting for someone to come and get something.
Qin Wanning's voice sounded behind him, "Guard Lin."
Lin Chuan turned his head and saw Qin Wanning coming out accompanied by He Yulin.
He nodded slightly and took out the things that Su Lingyue asked him to bring from his arms.
"The princess can't come over these few days. This is the medicine that the princess prepared for the young lady. This letter was written by Wang Fei."
Qin Wan Ning asked Qiu Wen to take the medicine and the letter, and then asked, "Is Yue Er feeling unwell?"
Lin Chuan said: "No, the princess is fine, Madam Xin can take a look."
Qin Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad Yue'er is okay. Thank you Guard Lin for making this trip."
As if thinking of something, Qin Wan Ning looked at Lin Chuan with some guilt, "I wonder... Is Guard Lin's injury better?"
Lin Chuan said in a gentle voice: "It's fine now."
Qin Wanning bowed and saluted, saying sincerely: "Thank you!"
Seeing this, He Yulin also bowed to Lin Chuan and said, "Sir, you saved Wan Ning that day. You are a great benefactor to the entire He Mansion. I wonder how I can repay you?"
Lin Chuan looked at him and recalled Qin Wanning's appearance that day.
If I hadn't blocked it that day, with the force Qin Wan Ning hit the wall with, I'm afraid she would have died.
Lin Chuan said in a deep voice: "There is no need to repay, please treat your wife well in the future!"
He can't catch up with his wife, and those who already have a wife don't cherish her. He really doesn't know how lucky he is!
He Yulin humbly accepted the advice, "Teacher, what you said is right. Yulin will definitely keep it in mind."
Looking at He Yulin's serious expression, Qin Wanning's eyes trembled slightly.
"You two, Lin Chuan is leaving!"
Lin Chuan didn't look at them again. After saying goodbye, he got on his horse and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the empty and quiet street, He Yulin said, "Wan Ning, it's cold outside, let's go in!"
Qin Wanning nodded, turned and walked inside. Although the weather was cold, her heart felt much warmer.
Although her relatives were far away in the western border, she still had friends in the huge capital city and was not alone.
Qin Wanning returned to the room, opened Su Lingyue's letter, and learned why she didn't come. She couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that Prince Su really holds Yue'er in his heart and loves her so much that he considers everything for her so thoughtfully.
Compared with the mess in the Prince's Mansion, it seems that marrying Prince Su was the right decision.
Qin Wan Ning picked up the bottle of medicine, poured out a pill, then took the water handed to her by He Yulin and put it into her mouth.
He Yulin followed her into the house, seemingly with no intention of leaving, his eyes full of pleading.
Seeing him like this, Qin Wanning's heart couldn't help but soften.
There is still a long way to go, and everything needs to be managed carefully.
"My husband, please go back to your room."
Qin Wan Ning's tone remained indifferent, but He Yulin was very happy, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes turned slightly red.
He took Qin Wanning's white hand and said, "A Ning, I will never let you down!"
Qin Wan Ning revealed a faint smile, things will definitely get better!

Yan Qing, who had been out for a day, hurried back home when it got dark.
"How?" Xiao Yu asked calmly.
Yan Qing smiled and said, "As Your Majesty guessed, Han Feng agreed very readily. He must have reformed. We can keep him for a while."
Xiao Yu said calmly: "A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. He just made a choice that was beneficial to him."
Yan Qing curled his lips in disdain, "Humph! This sentence describes a smart person who knows the current situation. I think he is just a fence-sitter!"
Xiao Yu did not comment, and asked again: "What did Master Jiang say?"
Yan Qing said: "Master Jiang, please rest assured, there is nothing wrong with him!"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Well, you go with me tomorrow night to confirm it, and don't make any mistakes."
Yan Qing responded, and then asked Xiao Yu with some doubt, "Your Highness, are you sure that Su Heng will take action against the eldest prince of Xiliang the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Yu took a sip of ginger tea and replied, "The day after tomorrow is the emperor's birthday. Li Mao will definitely drink. Princess Chaohua's death has dealt him a heavy blow. He will definitely drink more. If I were Su Heng, I would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Yan Qing said sarcastically, "Compared to the prince, he is always one step behind!"
Suddenly remembering something, Yan Qing said, "Oh, my Lord, the streets are very lively today, many marquises who went to their jurisdictions have returned to the capital!
For example, Ningyuan Marquis himself, the son of Changxing Marquis, the Earl of Zhongyi, the son of Huai'an General's Mansion, the son of Ning'an General's Mansion, the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Princess Anyang and her husband have all returned! Some of those who have not returned seem to have prepared many gifts. "
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before saying calmly, "Forty-five is considered a big birthday. Those princes will definitely come back to show their faces in front of the emperor. It will be much easier to inherit the title and get married in the future."
After the emperor ascended the throne, in order to prevent the aristocratic families from colluding with each other as happened before he ascended the throne, he sent them all to fiefdoms and jurisdictions to keep them away from the center of power.
Xiao Yu put down the teacup, thoughtfully.
I don’t know what many of my former acquaintances look like now.
