lol I am rereading this proposal scene and my face turn burning bright red ...even more so then XY...
from their conversation I guess that we can fall in love unexpectedly..Jing is definetly hopeless romantic
XY missed this and warmed her heart when she was about to take Royal Mother role...
THIS SCENE IS A MUST MUST HAVE IN S2....
Xiao Yao followed the medicine valley and he summoned his crane winged ride and they got on.
Xiao Yao laughed "I thought we would stay on Xiao Yue Peak for a walk, so where are you taking me?"
Jing smiled and said nothing as the crane took them deep into the clouds.
After some time Xiao Yao saw a peak appear and the crane descended next to a small pond. Xiao Yao got off and looked towards the hut in the distance "Sometimes I think life is fated."
Jing took her hand and sat her down "I want to discuss something with you."
Xiao Yao reached down to play with the water and said "Tell me!"
"There is a ballad that says "a beautiful young lady, a gentleman will persue." Every young man knows what this lyrics mean and will wonder what the future wife will be like. When I was young I thought she would be a beauty like the moon and flowers, refined and calm, excel at all arts, not talk too much or too little, know how to manage the household and also run a business so that she can discuss my work with me....."
Xiao Yao compared herself to each description and her expression got progressively more and more sullen.
"When my mom was picking my bride and asked me what I wanted, I told all of that to her."
Xiao Yao wondered "Your mom didn't say you were asking for too much?"
Jing laughed, "My mom said none of what I wanted was hard to find. Other than looks given by birth, the rest all the ladies in high families would train to such. The only thing that is hard to gauge is whether she will really love me."
Xiao Yao was quiet and realized he was right, he wanted a lot but it wasn't hard to find. He just wanted to find someone could understand and share in his life interests, not requiring that she be as talented and successful as him.
Jing continued "But who knew ......that I would meet you!"
Xiao Yao scrunched up her nose "What's wrong with meeting me! I don't have epic beautiful looks, I am not refined and demure, I know zilch about feminine arts, I do know how to poison people to death and can talk a lot. I don't know how to dress myself up or manage a household or how to socialize for business ......"
Jing nodded "Yes, you are all of those things!"
Xiao Yao glared at him with her fist clenched.
Jing continued "But when I met you was when I realized that when a person fell in love then nothing matter about requirements." Jing tenderly smiled at Xiao Yao "You are not quiet but I'm plenty quiet enough and can use someone as talkative as you; you are not refined and demure and constantly want to thwack me, but when you wash my hair and feed me medicine you are exquisitely gentle; you don't know the arts but I do and I can show them off to entertain you; you can't embroider but I am not marrying a seamstress and I can buy the talents of the best seamstress around; you don't know business but I do and can make more than enough to take care of you; and with how chatty you are , even in another thousand years we won't run out of things to discuss; you are not needed to run a household and you hate socializing which is fine by me because I would love to hide you deep inside my residence so that no one can see you and try to snatch you from me...."
Xiao Yao expression got brighter and she stared at Jing.
Jing smiled "Xiao Yao you were right in saying you're not an epic beauty. You are....." Xiao Yao nose twitched and Jing lightly tapped her on the nose "Even if the world was extraordinary it would not hold on to your one smile."
Xiao Yao's face turned bright red and she stood up to leave. "What's gotten into you today! Talking about all these random things!"
Jing grabbed Xiao Yao's hand and she suddenly realized a thick fog surrounded them. Within the fog a series of peach blossom trees sprung up and soon they were surrounded by thousands and thousands of peach blossoms all around them.
Xiao Yao knew this was a mystical illusion created by Jing but she couldn't help but reach out to catch a petal.
"This place is where your daddy used to live. I brought you here today to ask you in front of your parents - Tu Shan Jing asks Xi Ling Jiu Yao's hands in marriage."
Xiao Yao entire body froze.
Jing asked "Xiao Yao will you marry me?"
Years ago when Xiao Yao and Feng Long were in secret chamber and he asked, she didn't feel shy at all. But right now she felt so shy and embarrassed and wanted to turn and run away. She murmured in a low voice "If you want my hand you need to ask my grandfather and Zhuan Xu."
"Of course I will ask them but before I do I want to ask you first. Xiao Yao will you marry me?"
Within the blanket of peach blossoms around her, Xiao Yao felt like she could see her mom and daddy standing together and smiling at her.
"I do!" Xiao Yao tossed Jing's hand aside and ran into the hut with her face burning up and her heart pounding uncontrollably. She looked at herself in the mirror and she was as red as if she drank wine. She cupped her face and chided the her in mirror "You're so hopeless!"
