Chapter 331 Brother and sister meet
Inside the carriage, the two looked at Xie Xuanji with concern. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she no longer had her snow-white hair braided into pretty little pigtails as usual.
"Little Star, what's wrong?"
Xin Moyan had dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't been able to sleep all night because she was too excited, but she was really startled when she saw Xiaoxing looking like this.
Xie Xuanji shook her head, clutching her chest with a distraught expression. "Sister Yan, I... I feel like my heart is broken, and I just want to cry."
Shui Yi quickly sat down beside her and reached out to touch her forehead. "Xing'er, what's wrong? You were fine last night, but did the Third Prince bully you again?"
"No, I don't know either. My heart ached so much after I got back last night, and I cried all night. Sister Shuiyi, have I become ugly? The Emperor doesn't like ugly Xing'er."
Xie Xuanji turned her head away, managing a bitter smile.
"This...not ugly, not ugly at all. Xing'er is the prettiest. We're almost home now, so you can't look like this anymore. The Emperor will think we're bullying you!"
Shuiyi patiently coaxed her, not at all surprised by her sudden urge to cry. After all, Xing'er had always been like this since she was little, and she would cry in the blink of an eye when she wanted to.
"Oh!"
Xin Moyan took a handkerchief, poured some water, and carefully wiped her little face.
"Little Star, hurry up and get ready, I'm going to introduce you to your brother and Buyu later!"
She needed to remain calm before seeing everyone. Despite this thought, she couldn't help but feel excited. She hadn't expected that they would be apart for three months. She wondered how her brother was doing. He must miss her and Xuan Yuan very much.
"Oh right! I'm going to meet my new brother later! Sister Shuiyi, please help me comb my hair."
The urgent voice interrupted Shuiyi's thoughts. She turned around, smiled gently at them, and looked at them with doting eyes.
"Okay! I'll comb Xing'er's hair, so you can't be sad anymore!"
"Mmm! Perhaps it's because I didn't see the Emperor yesterday that I'm heartbroken. I won't be anymore once I see him."
These words left the two of them both speechless with amusement, and the convoy of horses and carriages entered the Mingshui Palace in a grand procession.
On the other side, the group ate their breakfast absentmindedly, their minds preoccupied with Xuan Yuan's whereabouts, except for Xie Cangming, who seemed completely unconcerned.
"Elder, the Emperor says that Her Highness the Princess has entered the Thousand Carp Corridor. Please, Elder and Her Highness, move to the Qu Shang Terrace."
"Yan Yan is here? Oh my! What are we waiting for? Xin Moling, let's go over there quickly."
Hua Buyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge forward, leaving everyone speechless.
Xie Cangming: "Hua Buyu, do you know Qu Shangtai?"
"...I don't know."
Xie Cangming gave her a sarcastic look, "Then follow this elder and take it easy."
Qu Shang Tai, as the name suggests, has a winding stream built around the platform with white clay, drawing holy water from the Tianshan Mountains. In the summer, Xie Xuanji always insists on coming here to eat and play.
When everyone arrived at Qu Shang Terrace, Xin Moyan and her group had not yet arrived, so Xie Cangming found a stone bench and sat down by himself.
"Xin Moling, why are you always frowning?"
Xin Moling glanced into the distance, her lips pursed, her expression complex. "We'll talk about everything when Yan'er arrives."
"It's all Xie Cangming's fault. He didn't even understand the situation properly, which caused Xuan Yuan to disappear for no reason."
Hua Buyu sat down to the side, supporting her back, and then began to ramble on and on about a certain elder.
Elsewhere, Xie Cangming suddenly sneezed, touching his nose with a resentful look in his eyes.
"Xie Cangming, I ask you, where exactly is A Yuan? Why didn't you explain it clearly before?"
"No hurries?"
Feng Qingyang plopped down opposite him, his tone anxious and tinged with dissatisfaction.
"Of course I'm worried. A-Yuan is my best friend, and his whereabouts are unknown. I didn't ask for details earlier because I was giving you face and because General Xin was holding back his impatience. Tell me where he is so we can go look for him together when the princess arrives."
What if I don't tell?
"Then we can't be friends anymore."
"..."
Xie Cangming paused in pouring the tea, then looked up and glared at him fiercely.
"When did I become your friend?"
Feng Qingyang's lips twitched, and he said no more.
The group waited and waited, until Hua Buyu was almost about to flip the table, before they could vaguely hear several urgent shouts.
"Yan... Sister Yan, wait for me!"
"Yan'er, slow down, don't fall!"
Xie Xuanji clutched her stomach, panting as she chased after them.
The pink figure rushed ahead. Xin Moyan was covered in sweat. She didn't care about anyone else. She got off the carriage and ran. Her heart was pounding.
Soon, she will see her brother.
They looked up at the same time, and the figure they had been longing for gradually came closer and became clearer.
"Yan'er!"
Xin Moling called out in a daze, his voice trembling slightly. He stood there, not moving an inch, his eyes fixed on his sister who was running towards him, unable to suppress the excitement deep in his heart.
Xin Moyan felt the same way. With each step she took closer, her nose started to sting, and gradually, her eyes welled up with tears. All the grievances and longing she had accumulated over the past few days burst forth in an instant.
"elder brother!"
She threw herself into Xin Moling's arms, tightly hugging his strong waist, her nose filled with her brother's scent, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Waaaaah~ Brother, you finally came to find me! I missed you so much... so much, waaaah~"
"Yan'er, your brother is here, don't be afraid!"
With a gentle pat on her younger sister's back, Xin Moling's eyes were filled with heartache, and her long-standing worries and anxieties were finally relieved.
Fortunately, Xie Cangming hadn't lied to him, nor had Baili Juebi; he had indeed found Yan'er.
"Waaaaah~ Yan Yan, we finally found you! You have no idea how worried I was about you, waaaaah~"
Hua Buyu screamed and cried loudly. On the other side, she rushed forward, grabbed Xin Moyan from behind, and squeezed her between them.
"...Hua Buyu, let go!"
"No, Yan Yan, I miss you so much!"
"..."
She hugged Xin Moyan tightly, and also hugged Xin Moling's arms, the three of them forming a sticky state, looking a bit like Oreo cookies.
After much effort, Xin Moling finally managed to free her hands, pulled her sister a step to the side, and carefully cupped her cheeks.
Xin Moyan stopped crying at this moment, but she was still sobbing, her eyes and nose were red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
"Yan'er, quickly show your brother, how have you been these days?"
As Xin Moling spoke, she looked him up and down, afraid of missing any detail.
"Yes, yes, yes! Yan Yan, let me see, hmm~ she's fairer than before, her cheeks are fuller, hmm, she looks great!"
Xin Moling: "..."
