A gentle lody slowly drifted into her ears. It was only then that Lin Yuan realized it had been playing for a while, and she had not noticed until now.
The music was as gentle as crystalline dew on an autumn night, so light and pure.
She slowly turned around and was slightly surprised to see the stage below filled with people.
What shocked her even more was how many familiar faces were among them.
Lin Jiaxin, Lady Liu, Lin Wei, Xiao Linshuang, Xiao He, Xiao Yongyan, as well as Princess Anle and Xia Yuan, even Third Prince Zhao Hongde was there.
Lin Yuan was taken aback and instinctively asked, "You all, how..."
Her words, light and soft, were scattered by the gentle breeze at her ear.
Everyone smiled warmly at Lin Yuan. She noticed the comfort in Lady Liu and Lin Jiaxin’s eyes, the joy in Princess Anle and Xia Yuan’s eyes, and even the littlest Xiao Yongyan was infected by the mont, his big eyes darting around curiously.
Perhaps infected by everyone’s smiles, Lin Yuan also began to smile, especially when she saw Lao Fan and Xia Hen hiding in the crowd, looking at her with excitent, her smile beca even brighter.
Just...
Everyone was here, it seed like it was still missing one main character!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Lin Yuan saw the crowd below suddenly parting down the middle, and a tall, upright man slowly walked forward.
He wore a long black robe, peculiarly open at the collar, revealing a high-collared white inner shirt.
This strange attire puzzled Lin Yuan, even made her curious, but the more she looked, the more familiar it seed.
Oh dear! Isn’t this the most typical outfit from her era? White shirt and dark suit. But, Xia Zheng dressed like this, is it really okay?
Just as Lin Yuan was taken aback, Xia Zheng had already approached her, and only then did Lin Yuan notice that not only were his clothes strange, but even his hairstyle was odd. He usually tied his hair up high, leaving his forehead bare and handso.
But today, for so reason, a fringe of short hair draped across his forehead, bouncing slightly in the gentle breeze.
This version of Xia Zheng made Lin Yuan feel even more that he was unrestrained and domineering, yet certainly more handso.
The mont Xia Zheng appeared, the crowd instinctively stepped aside, leaving the entire stage to him.
With graceful steps, Xia Zheng flipped his newly trimd side-parted bangs with flair and flirtatiously winked at Lin Yuan, making her shiver slightly and feel even more alert.
"Today, the light shines for you, the wind blows for you, the rain falls for you, and the snow drifts for you."
Hah!
As soon as Xia Zheng opened his mouth, he spoke a series of parallel sentences that made Lin Yuan unwittingly burst into laughter.
This laugh only embarrassed Xia Zheng further, and his face reddened as he tried hard to wink at her and softly reminded, "Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, so many people are watching!"
"Alright, alright!"
Lin Yuan quickly nodded, covering her mouth with her hand, but her trembling shoulders betrayed her true thoughts.
Xia Zheng cleared his throat and repeated his words once more, adding at the end, "Yuanyuan, today I am here for you too. Will you marry , to be my wife?"
The straightforwardness of the proposal left Lin Yuan montarily stunned. One second, she was questioning where the rain and snow ca from today, and the next, he’s proposing? Just like that?
What shocked her even more was as Xia Zheng said these words, he reached at his waist and took out a small red wooden box, no bigger than a child’s palm, intricately carved with openwork patterns, a faint light flickering inside.
Curious, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, trying to guess what was inside the box. Then a loud gasp sounded in her ear.
Looking closely, my goodness! Xia Zheng was holding up that box with both hands, his knee on the ground, the other bent, making a single-knee marriage proposal to her!
There are many protocols in ancient tis - kneeling to heaven and earth, kneeling to parents. Lin Yuan knew Xia Zheng’s personality best; sotis he was too lazy to kneel even for the Old Emperor, yet today, he kneeled for her!
Everyone was aware of Xia Zheng’s proposal, but they didn’t know he would kneel on one knee.
Xia Yuan and Princess Anle were stunned, and Xia Yuan’s face changed almost to the point of roaring.
