MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 42 Marriage

The selection ceremony of the concubine of the King of Kings was held.

The wedding scene was unprecedented, with thousands of people in the middle of Beijing clamoring for the royal glory. The King's Mansion is red and golden, and every tree and every tree seems to be stained with strong joy. Above Xitang, Xiao Yan was married, and Baiguan Linhe. I was so happy that it hurt my eyes slightly, and I couldn't see everyone's expression. Or maybe, just I don't want to see it.

After Zi's big wedding, many trivial matters also settled down, and the court seemed to have restored a brief peace. When the weather was cold, I was ill again and again. I was rested all day long and became more lazy. I only visited the aunt and Jinger occasionally.

Jinger is four years old, and his condition is still not in the slightest improvement. He is as silly as a puppet all day long.

The weather was fine on that day. I only took my maid with me and walked Jinger in the garden, letting the sunshine lightly on my body.

"Every day is gone, the second emperor is poured out." The rumor circulating in the folk market is not without meaning. So many eyes are watching in the chapel, so many ears are listening. Sooner or later, someone will discover the secret of the little emperor's dementia. He cannot hide behind the curtain forever and make a silent puppet. As Xiao Yan approached the throne step by step, Jinger's existence value became smaller and smaller, and it was time for him to leave.

That proverb is a hint that can't be understood.

Taking the emperor's throne from the demented little emperor is easy, but it is not justified. On the bright side, he still owes a magnificent and complete success. This is like the chess game between my brother and me. When I was blindly advancing, I was forced to go down, but when I was on the fire, I wanted to rebel and retreat. The art of getting power and the way of kingship have always been indispensable. Jinger was only a puppet at the time, and now the puppets have been stripped of all their wings, and they have become the best chess pieces. The abolition of Jing'er, the support of his own son, and Xiao Xun's still solemn powers ... Every step closer to the throne meant another slaughter or overturn.

It's just that Jinger is really a poor child. Perhaps leaving this court is also a blessing for him.

I hugged the child, sitting in the garden silently, and the sunlight of the early winter was falling on us. At this moment, it was quiet and peaceful, as if it was far away from the disputes and hardships of the emperor's house, just like a mother and son of ordinary people.

Suddenly his shoulders warmed, and a cloak of feather veil lay on his body. Xiao Yan did not know when he was standing behind me, his eyebrows narrowed and he looked at me deeply.

The winter sun shone obliquely, giving him a cold halo of side-faced cages, and embroidered gold dragons and teeth on the black robe, as if to live.

He stroked Fu Jinger's head, calmly, "It won't be long before this child should leave."

"The matter of abandonment is very important. Have you really decided?" I looked up at him, but he remained silent for a long time without answering.

The setting sun was sinking, and the evening breeze brought a slight chill.

He smiled suddenly, "I said that year, I will accompany you to see the apricot blossoms and rain in Jiangnan, remember?"

How can I not remember, outside the city of Ningshuo, he said that he would accompany me to see all the sky and the sea, the desert and the wind, the apricot blossoms and rain ... Every year in the middle of the spring, I saw the apricot blossoms in the palace walls bloom and thank, thank you and thank you again On, I will always remember what he said that day.

I looked into his eyes, endless and sweet, "I thought you had forgotten long ago."

"When this winter is over, we'll go to Jiangnan." Xiao Yan turned to stare at me, and a thin smile passed by his thinly lip.

There was a sudden rush in my heart and I looked at him, wondering if I heard it wrong, "Go to Jiangnan?"

He smiled slightly. "At that time, I will return to the son-in-law, let go of the foreign object, and take you away from the capital. You and I will travel to the south of the Yangtze River.

I froze and couldn't tell whether he was joking or tempting, but I never expected that he would say such a thing.

Xiao Yan looked at me deeply, Ming Xi's eyes seemed to let go of the slightest change on my face, and his lips still had an unpredictable smile, "Why, don't you like it?"

I was overwhelmed by his gaze, and for a long time, slowly raised his eyes to see him, "Abandon the ambition of heaven and earth, and just ask for a happy life, then it is not you Xiaoming."

Xiao Yan desperately looked at me, his eyes were deep, and his smile was even stronger. "What is it about me?"

Putting aside the fetters of the world, both are far away from the rivers and lakes, and only envy but not envy—this was also my dream of the year. If the person I met was not Xiao Xuan, this dream could come true. However, when I met him, he met me too, and I can no longer turn around and no longer look back! We cut through the thorns together, paid too much, and each other was bloodied. There is nothing to stop us from reaching the highest peak!

"Do you want to understand?" He approached me, shrouded in a strong masculinity, and asked in an unquestionable tone, "Ama, I want to hear your truth. Once you think about it, you can't waver any more!"

I looked up at him, my heart was clear, and every word slowly said, "I want to watch you succeed in dominance and rule the world."

The abolition of the monarch is of great importance and is naturally extraordinary. There must be no room for turbulence between this abolition.

Jing'er was very young, and it was difficult to protect the society. He was deposed for this reason, and no one dared to hold objections. The regent king deliberately abolished the monarch to establish another, and this rumor quickly spread to the wild. The prince of wiseness changed from a lonely idler to a highly regarded Chujun. In the misty fog, no one can guess Xiao Min's scheming, can't see what the future variables are.

However, the delicate power distribution of North Korea has begun to change, and each piece moves quietly and tilts secretly under the control of Xiao Yan.

The trajectory of destiny has been changed inadvertently, and a great upheaval that has turned the world has unwittingly unfolded.

This winter has been extraordinarily long.

Towards the end of the year, the two southern nobles, Shen and Wu, entered the Beijing dynasty at the same time.

Both Shen and Wu are from the Jiangnan Wang clan, hereditary Gao Jue, have a far-reaching reputation, and their popularity in Jiangnan is no less than that of Wang. The trend in this dynasty is unpredictable. Even the two big tyrants far away in the south of the Yangtze River can no longer hold back. They are named Jian Jian, but they made a special trip for marriage. The regent Wang does not accept Ji Ji, it is well known in the world, and Xiao Yi came from a lonely cold, no relatives and brothers, and now the closest to him is the Wang family.

In Xiyu Bieyuan, my elder brother opened his mouth and watched the new orange peeled by the servant girl. He just smiled and was content.

I rubbed my forehead and looked at my brother with a grin. "You are relaxed. Now the daughters of the two big families are rushing to marry you. What do you say is good?"

"Either you marry them all, or you don't marry them all!" The elder brother laughed, and surrounded by eight beauties, Yingying Yanyan, sentimental feelings.

"Unfortunately we only have one King of Jiang Xia, and we ca n’t split it into two halves. If it could be split, we would have split it into eight parts." It was Zhu Yan, my brother's favorite servant, who spoke softly, Euphemistically tender.

The brother almost choked on the orange in his mouth, glared at her, and laughed. I rolled my eyes and smiled. "It's better to take your grandfather into the burden and save the trouble of scoring." Zhu Yan chuckled. "If this is the case, please invite the princess to open his grace and marry the slave family to the royal grandfather "Said another beauty, laughing." Marry and marry, isn't it too much for someone to take advantage? "

Ji Jiyu laughed and made a group, but my heart suddenly moved.

I almost forgot that my uncle had two daughters at his knees. He returned to Langya's hometown with him. He hadn't seen each other for many years. Now he should be 15 or 6 years old.

Just after the catastrophe of the war, the hearts of the people in Jiangnan are floating, and both the court and the field are looking forward to the joy of this marriage, hoping to dispel the haze left by the killing.

My brother Ping retired from the Ji, leaving us only two brothers and sisters, and I asked him whether he was really willing to marry the Jiangnan Hao.

He smiled indifferently, "I am married to a girl from afar, and I can't refuse to leave it."

I stared at him, "Brother, out of so many women, which one is better than anyone in your heart, is she the best in the world?"

The elder brother shook his head without thinking, and said, "Every woman is very nice. I treat them with sincerity and the same. I can't tell who is the best."

"What about you?" I looked at him quietly. "Even her, you haven't been sincere?" The elder brother fell silent, his face full of smiles. I never deliberately asked him about the past, only to make him sad, but now I no longer want to see him indulged in the past, and then closed my heart.

"The old man is stunned, and now I can say that she won't blame me." The elder brother sighed and said slowly, "You're right, I did treat her wrongly, and never really told her the truth Stay. "

I froze, but I heard my brother slowly tell the story of the past, "My marriage with you was originally a gamble. When I first saw you, I didn't think she was beautiful, just because of her temper. Leng Ao, dismissive of me, but aroused my enthusiasm. At that time, the young and frivolous, he and Zi Long ... Xiandi bet, vows to move that heart of the emperor. Xiandi already knew that the emperor would be registered as the law Concubine, I was completely caught in the drum, and was greatly teased by him. It happened that my father was thinking about my wedding, and I knew what happened to him was known to him. I thought he would provoke him for a reprimand, but unexpectedly. He not only nodded his approval, but also determined to hire my wife as my wife! I laughed and laughed. I didn't dare to disobey his father's wishes, and he was so conquered by him, so I promised ... I learned that she had an original marriage contract with Zilu, and that she was happy since she was young, but it was too late! The gift of marriage has been given, and everything is irrevocable! "

A joke, a gambling contract ruined two splendid marriages, and even made Xun and Zilu hate for life! When I heard it, I felt full of sadness.

The elder brother looked sad, "Since then, a big mistake has been made, Zi Lu has turned against me, and I have no face to see him, no face to face me. I traveled to the south of the river in anger, but unexpectedly ..."

I finally understand why my brother would not want to marry a wife over the years and would rather linger on flowers than to accept a woman sincerely. He was afraid of hurting another person again and fearing that someone would become a second puppet.

"You and my marriage can't be helped by your own heart. Rather than being a cocoon, it's better to be happy in time." The elder brother raised his thin lips and laughed lazily as usual, but there was a little sorrow in his meaning.

Inadvertently, I remembered the infatuated woman who had been up for the night for him. I took my brother's hand and sighed, "Brother, you just haven't met that person. Maybe one day, when you meet I will understand that being able to love someone with all my heart and making him love you with all my heart is the deepest affection of time. "

The elder brother looked at the leaves of Manting, and then he turned back. Rarely and quietly, "I would rather never meet such a person."

A few days later, in the name of the Empress Dowager, I conferred a marriage decree.

The eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Lin, promised to marry the King of the Xia Dynasty and Wang Xun as the concubine.

Over the years, my family has experienced ups and downs, almost reached the top of power, and almost fell into the depths. Fortunately, that's all over. Today's Wang family finally re-emerged in my hands. No matter how the situation changes, the prestige of the world's first nobleman still does not fall.

The mother's funeral period has not yet passed, and her brother will soon marry Shen as soon as next summer, and the marriage period between the owner of Xuanning County and Wu Yan is also due to the death of the long princess.

My brother sent someone to welcome my aunt and two sisters from Langya's hometown, and temporarily resided in the town government.

The next day their aunts arrived in Beijing, Xiao Ao went to the early dynasty and went to visit Fuzhong with me.

There was a light snow last night, the morning light was blooming, and the snow was still there. In the deep courtyard of Zhumen, there was a branch of Qiongzhiyushu, like a fairy palace.

"In the end, it's famous and unusual," Xiao said with a smile. "The style of the town's government house is not less impressive than that of the inner palace of the palace. It is indeed the Zhongding family!"

I smiled, my eyes slowly moving over the familiar plants and trees, but my heart was sour and sad. He only saw the majestic plants and bricks in front of him, and the golden horses and jade horses in the sky. Xiao Yan held my hand and gently embraced me. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes were clear and relieved. I looked at him softly, and my heart was warm. Turning around the corridor, I accidentally glanced at the rockery, and I smiled unconsciously, "Look there, my brother and I used to hide behind the rockery, throwing snowballs to scare the little girl, and so weird, brother Dress up and make the little girl happy. "

Xiao Yan smiled and squeezed the tip of my nose, "It's so naughty to be a kid!"

I avoided him, and suddenly I was stubborn and raised my skirt and ran to the garden. The long skirt swept the snow all the way, the purple satin yarn brushed over Qiongzhi, and the palace satin beaded shoes were covered with snow debris.

"Slide up carefully!" Xiao Yan frowned, catching up to catch me, but there was a deep smile under his eyes. I took the opportunity to grab a handful of snow and scattered it to his neckline, but he escaped without a trace.

"You stand, you can't move around, I can't lose you!" I stomped, grabbed a handful of snow, and threw it hard at him, all of a sudden a wind came behind me—

"Be careful!" Xiao Yan suddenly snatched up, a flower bloomed in front of me, and he grabbed him sharply. Something in my ear was passing by, and the snow in front of me was falling. I looked up suddenly, and saw Xiao Yan protecting me in his arms, but his shoulder was hit by a heavy snowball, and the broken snow fell all over him.

Xiao Yan's face sank, and he turned to look behind the rockery, "Who is wanton?"

I was stunned, but when I saw it, a crimson shadow turned out. An ice-snow-like person wrapped under the cloak of big red feather yarn, smiling cleverly, looking bright, and making the snowy red plum eclipsed.

"Sister Grandma!" But Rener screamed fragilely, Wu Yan's eyes turned from Xiao Yan, and she tongued out playfully, "Brother is so fierce!"

I looked at each other Xiao Xiao.

"Are you Qianer?" I stared at the girl in front of me. I couldn't believe the chubby silly girl in my memory. This was the beautiful girl in front of me, my cousin, Wang Qian.

"I see the prince and the princess." My aunt dressed Zhan Qingyunjin's dying clothes, led her two daughters, and bowed down to salute us.

The ring swayed, reflecting the whiteness of the room. It was still difficult to hide her pride and grace. I lifted her up and looked intently, but my aunt's vicissitudes appeared. The two of them were similar in age, but now they seem to differ by more than ten years. My aunt also came from a well-known family. She and her aunt were handkerchiefs who knew each other from an early age. After marrying the Wang family, they added their relatives. However, in the future, the suspicion grew, and the two went further and further.

That year, her aunt ignored her mother's plea and sent her only son to the army for training, in order to let him inherit King Qingyang's mantle.

In my memory, my cousin Wang Kai was a young man of Yingwu Minda who was full of blood to report the country. He was born frail and sick. He became ill in the army and was not accustomed to northern soil and water. He soon fell ill and did not return to Beijing. My aunt suffered the pain of bereavement. At this moment, my elder brother Wang Xi was sealed and revealed. The aunt therefore identified her aunt as favoring the long room, blame her cousin's death on her head, hated her, and even treated us. There was resentment in every door.

When the uncle was assassinated and killed in the first battle of the palace that year, his uncle was disheartened and took his two uncle daughters back to Langya's hometown. He refused to come back to us for many years.

The two cousins ​​were born to the uncle's uncle, and the biological mother died prematurely. When they left, the long queen Pei was only ten years old, and the second queen Qian was less than nine years old. A few years later, when I was chasing behind me, a little girl named "Sister Grandma" had already become the beauty in front of Yun Ting. Qian Er Qiaosheng stood aside, but blinked at the girl next to him. The tall girl next to her raised her eyebrows and wore a blue lake dress, with her eyes turned obliquely.

"I always remember Peer's timidity when I was a kid, I never thought that she is such a beautiful person now." I took Peer's hand and sighed with a smile, "Qian Er almost made me invisible."

Peer's face was a little red, and she didn't talk down, and didn't even dare to look up at me.

His aunt chuckled and smiled, "I live in a remote country, neglecting to teach. I am so rude, and offensive to Grandpa. I beg for forgiveness."

She still had a slight arrogance in her expression, and she was still more kind than she was that year. She wanted to have a long life, and her high spirits should be calm.

Xiao Yirong was kind, and held the junior's gift, and accompanied me and my aunt to speak up. This time Pei's marrying Jiangnan, I thought my aunt would be reluctant. I already figured out how to persuade her, but she didn't expect her to have no objection, but she was very relieved. She shook Peer's hand and sighed, "This child is married with a lifelong trust, and it is better to follow me for a deserted life." There was a bit of sourness in her words, and I was about to speak, Xiao Xiao has already Slightly smiled, "Now that the Lord of Xuanning County is married far away, the old lady is old, and her solitary hometown may be lonely. It is better to return to Beijing and have some care."

Auntie nodded with a smile, "The hometown is far away, and in the end it is no more prosperous than the characters in Jingli. When I come back and send Peer out of the cabinet, only Qianer is left to worry about me."

"Mother!" Qianer stomped her words when Qianer interrupted her aunt. My aunt gave her a coy look and smiled silently. Xiao Yan and I also looked at each other and smiled.

During the narrative, a guard entered and whispered something to Xiao Yan, but saw Xiao Yan's face sink immediately.

Xiao Zheng got up and said goodbye to his aunt, leaving me to narrate with my aunt in the house. I walked him to the door with my aunt, and he turned to me and said softly, "Today I'm dressed so thin, don't go out to play with snow."

In front of his aunt and Peer, I didn't expect him to be so careful, without feeling a heat on his face. There was a chuckle behind her, and Qianer covered her mouth again, looking narrowly at Xiao Yan.

On the contrary, Xiao Yan was very calm, took a deep look at me, and turned away with a smile.

"Ama is married to a good husband." My aunt looked at me with a smile and took a light tea. "Your aunt really looked so good."

"Each marriage has its own fate." When it comes to my aunt, I don't want to say a lot, just smile a little, and turn the topic. "Peer's husband is also a well-known talent, live some days When I went to Beijing to welcome my relative, my aunt saw me, but I was afraid that she would be more happy. "Both sisters were expelled by her aunt. At this time, Ruo Peer was also there, and she didn't know what to look like.

The aunt kept the tea cup, but sighed, "Peer ... it's really hard."

"What?" I frowned at her.

Sister-in-law sighed, "In the past, you also know that Pei is inherently inadequate. She has always been weak and ill, just like her birth mother. Her birth mother died of dystocia. I always worry that this child will marry a child in the future. Let her not give birth. "

I twitched in my heart, hearing what my aunt seemed to say, but I was thinking, but I didn't hear it until she called me again.

My aunt narrowed her eyes slightly and stared thoughtfully at me, as if she had hidden a thin needle tip in her eyes.

"Ama, what are you thinking?" She said with a smile, and her expression returned to her previous kindness.

I met her inquiring gaze and secretly calmed down, "Nevertheless, Pei Yuan marries Wu's family. Without a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous in the future."

My aunt nodded and said, "So, I want to choose two good-looking girls to marry together, and give birth to Peer in the future."

I frowned slightly, my heart inexplicably gliding over Jin Er's shadow, suddenly felt sad. My aunt's words rubbed into my heart like sand, faintly uncomfortable, but couldn't figure out how to deal with it, and nodded silently.

Although Xiao Ye and I have never been able to do anything, the only reason outside is that I am weak and ill, and I do n’t know that I may never have children.

However, the expression of my aunt's flash of light only made me feel weird. Although there was nothing wrong with it, she was instinctively prepared to let her know the truth.
