Chapter 124 Master and Servant Meet
Chapter 124 Master and Servant Meet
"Of course I know you miss me, and I'm here!" Daiyu looked at Xiangyun with a distressed look and gently stroked her cheek.
Then he stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiangyun's eyes.
"Miss, is it appropriate for you to come out so late?" Zijuan on the side looked at Daiyu with concern, her eyes revealing her concern for her.
"It's okay. I've already asked the maid to leave the door open for me." Daiyu replied gently.
She shifted her gaze from Zijuan to Xiangyun, her eyes filled with warmth and care.
Daiyu handed a bundle to Xiangyun. Xiangyun took the bundle doubtfully and looked at Daiyu in confusion.
Daiyu smiled slightly, nodded to her, and motioned her to open it and see what was inside.
Xiangyun carefully untied the rope of the bundle and slowly opened it.
When she saw the items in the bundle, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Wow, what a beautiful little dress!" Xiangyun exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Others also gathered around and praised the little clothes, saying that they were really exquisite and beautiful.
Daiyu said with a smile, "There are two bellybands inside, embroidered with designs of good fortune and prosperity and peace every year.
There are also a few small outfits, and it’s unclear whether they’re for boys or girls, so I chose unisex colors.”
At this time, Zijuan and Xueyan were already in tears.
They never imagined that the sickly girl would become an expert in knitting and needlework.
Zijuan went over and held Daiyu's hand tightly, and suddenly burst into tears and said, "Miss, it has been so hard for you to come this far!"
After saying that, he hugged Daiyu.
"It's all fine, Zijuan. Everything is over." Daiyu patted her shoulder gently, indicating that she was no longer the crying Lin Daiyu!
Xiangyun also walked over and said softly, "Sister Lin..."
She looked at Xiangyun tenderly, her eyes full of love.
At this time, Xiaowan suddenly said to everyone: "The bellyband is made by our girl. She copied the pattern from someone else and embroidered it slowly at night.
The children's clothes are made of the finest fabrics and embroidered by the embroiderers according to the latest styles."
Everyone gave Daiyu a thumbs-up, but Daiyu said shyly, "These are all gifts I gave to the baby."
Then, Daiyu handed an exquisite jewelry box to Xiangyun.
Xiangyun carefully opened the box, which contained jewelry for the child - a pure gold longevity lock and a pair of gold bracelets.
Xiangyun was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Daiyu smiled and held her hand, saying softly, "Yun'er, I don't know if I can go when you give birth. This is a little gift from me to the child!"
"Sister Lin, I never thought I would meet you again in this life..." Before Xiangyun could finish, Daiyu hurriedly grabbed her hand and said gently, "Yun'er, we agreed that you are not allowed to cry anymore!"
Everyone was worried that Xiangyun was tired during her pregnancy, so after a round of greetings, they hurriedly asked her to rest early.
Zijuan took Daiyu to the next room.
Xiaowan knew their feelings and quickly left the room, leaving them to talk.
The three of them, master and servant, quickly sat down at the table. Yes, they hadn't been together for a long time, as if a century had passed.
None of them would have thought that there would be a day when they would meet each other!
At the beginning, Zijuan and Xueyan both shed tears silently and looked at Daiyu with heartache on their faces.
But Daiyu said helplessly: "Zijuan, don't you two have anything to say to me? I didn't even take the palace carriage just to come out to see you!"
"Miss, I haven't had time to ask, how are you doing?" Zijuan hurriedly held Daiyu's hand. Looking at the pair of hands that could write poems and paint, but now doing knitting and needlework, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Daiyu had no choice but to comfort her: "Zijuan, I am a concubine now, how can I not live a good life!"
"But is he good to you?" Xueyan also looked worried.
"Well, we are living very well. The prince has gone to the border, maybe to negotiate, maybe to fight. If he wins, he will give me a satisfactory explanation!" When Daiyu mentioned the prince, the corners of her mouth rose up and she revealed a satisfied smile.
"Tell me, aren't you married?" Zijuan asked anxiously.
"I am the concubine appointed by the emperor himself, but the prince wants to give me the status of a co-wife!" Daiyu said as she took out her jade plate.
Zijuan and Xueyan gently stroked the jade plate that symbolized Daiyu's identity, as if all the hardships had finally paid off.
They snuggled together, leaning on each other, under the gentle candlelight.
The candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the three girls stuck together, and their hearts were also stuck together.
I don’t know how long it took, it was almost three o’clock in the morning.
Xiaowan hurried in from outside and saw them sleeping together.
She quickly and gently called Daiyu and whispered, "Miss, we should go back. Xiaoling must be worried."
Daiyu was dreaming when she heard someone calling her. She got up quickly and it turned out to be Xiaowan.
At this time, Zijuan and Xueyan both woke up.
They knew that if Daiyu didn't leave, it would be dawn.
After all, she is from the palace, and it would be bad if someone caught her.
Zijuan was worried that it was so late and the two girls would not be safe on the road, so she quickly asked Master Yu to take them back home in his carriage.
Daiyu and Xiaowan stepped quietly into the carriage, while Zijuan and Xueyan followed them from behind and watched them walk a long way.
When Daiyu opened the door curtain of the car, the shadows of Zijuan and Xueyan appeared particularly long under the dim moonlight.
"Zijuan, Xueyan, wait for me..." Daiyu shouted silently in her heart.
Zijuan and Xueyan watched Daiyu get into the carriage with their own eyes. She was clearly their relative, but they could not live together.
But when he saw Daiyu with a smile on her face, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with pearl hairpins on her head, he suddenly felt comforted.
"Yes, the young lady is a concubine now, and things will get better and better." Watching Daiyu walking farther and farther away, Zijuan and Xueyan returned to the hotel.
A carriage was moving slowly on the road, and the wheels made a slight creaking sound as they rolled.
Inside the car, Daiyu sat quietly in her seat, staring at the night outside the window.
Xiaowan had already fallen asleep, and her even snoring could be heard by Daiyu from time to time.
Daiyu smiled slightly, and a warmth surged in her heart.
She knew that Xiaowan had been by her side for so long, just like her own sister.
The windows of the carriage were slightly open, and a gentle breeze blew into the carriage.
The wind blew across Daiyu's face, bringing a hint of coolness.
She closed her eyes and felt the gentle caress of the wind, as if it could blow away all her worries.
She looked out the car window again, but she could no longer see Zijuan and Xueyan.
Under the moonlight, the trees swayed in the wind, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering some secrets.
The chirping of crickets came from afar, crisp and pleasant, as if telling people the tranquility and beauty of the night.
However, these sounds did not relax Daiyu, but made her more awake.
Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and Daiyu recalled her past experiences.
The rise and fall of the family, the twists and turns of love, everything flashed before her eyes like pictures.
Time passed by, and Daiyu still couldn't sleep. Where would Zijuan and Xueyan go in the future?
How is grandma's illness?
Is everything really as peaceful as the letter says for the prince at the border?
Daiyu became more and more awake, and even when she returned home and the day gradually brightened, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.
What will the future be like?
