Chapter Seventy-Six: Accepting Fate (Addition, Seeking Acceptance)
Dugu Yiyi sat silently on the edge of the bed, not moving all night.
She thought about a lot of things and figured out a lot of things.
In the early hours of the morning, she suddenly laughed miserably and muttered, "This is probably fate." As a child of the royal family, he can't avoid power strife and cannibalism. β
Yes, at this time, Dugu Yiyi has completely accepted his fate.
She pulled herself together and washed her face to make herself look less haggard.
Then he said to the guards guarding him outside the door: "I was troubled to inform my father, and I said that I had figured it out, and I was willing to change my surname to Baili, and I was also willing to marry Ling Dachun." The only condition is ...... Forget it, the father knows best what the only condition is, you just need to help spread the word. β
The only condition, of course, is to protect the safety of Shen Lu.
Now that Shen Lu has offended the Beijiang Gang, he is in danger of being retaliated against at any time.
In the entire Changge City, only Baili Tianjiao is qualified to protect his safety.
After the escort was ordered, not long after, a handsome woman dressed in gorgeous clothes hurried in.
As soon as the beautiful woman entered the house, Dugu Yiyi instantly burst into tears, threw herself into her arms and shouted, "Mother!"
This person is the wife of Baili Tianjiao, the biological mother of the second prince Baili Jiechen, and the official queen of Yong'an Kingdom, Chenxia.
Dugu Yiyi is also the child she grew up watching, and the relationship between the two is that of an adoptive mother and an adoptive daughter.
Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Queen Chenxia also sobbed a few times and comforted: "Child, you have been wronged. β
"Mother, I'm ...... I ......" Yiyi choked so much that she couldn't speak, and she didn't know how to pour out her bitter grievances.
Chenxia could only comfort: "Don't say it, my mother understands, she understands." We women are so miserable that we can't complain about others. Hey, it's all going to pass. β
She didn't have any queen's frame at this time, but was like a kind mother, complaining to her daughter about each other.
Yiyi said a lot to her, and her emotions gradually stabilized.
The two of them cried like this for a while and talked for a while, and by the time they stopped crying much, it was already noon.
At this time, Ling Dachun had already received the news and hurriedly came. He was outside the door, and said with some stumbling: "Da Chun see the queen, the third princess." β
Chenxia lowered her voice and asked Yiyi softly, "Do you want to see him?"
Yiyi already had a helpless expression of resignation at this time. She wiped the tears from her face and nodded slightly.
So Chenxia said, "Come in." β
After Ling Dachun Shili entered the house, his face was full of nervousness and excitement. He first stared at Yiyi greedily for a while, and when he realized that he was out of shape, he hurriedly explained: "I just heard some good news, so I hurried here." Third Princess, is it true?"
Dugu Yiyi lowered his head and sighed, and then said to Ling Dachun: "Can you promise me one thing first? As long as you agree, I will agree to marry you." β
"Don't say one, 10,000 pieces are fine! Isn't it just to help Shen Lu? No problem! As long as I, Ling Dachun, have a breath in my breath, I can guarantee those two bastard princes...... Uh, Queen, that's not what I meant. β
He was so excited that he didn't choose what to say. When he scolded the second prince, he didn't realize that the biological mother of the other family was also beside him.
Chenxia snorted coldly, and then said, "How can I take your junior's joke seriously." Just pay attention to it later. β
Ling Dachun hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and then continued to say to Yiyi: "I can guarantee Shen Lu's safety and let him be the city lord of Snowy City in peace." β
Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I'm relieved if you say that." β
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed and said to Ling Dachun with a little disgust: "You have to pay attention to what you say in the future, don't make jokes like just now." β
Although these words were accusing Ling Dachun, Yiyi said it with a bit of feminine charm at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.
This kind of look, a woman usually only shows it to the man she likes.
Seeing her like this, Ling Dachun was even more hooked, nodded like pounded garlic, and agreed again and again.
Several people sat and chatted for a while, during which Yiyi's attitude towards Ling Dachun was not good, but they could also chat a few words normally, indicating that Yiyi had accepted Ling Dachun.
After another while, Ling Dachun said goodbye and left, looking satisfied.
After Ling Dachun left, Chenxia touched Yiyi's hand and comforted her: "Look, Dachun's child is actually not bad. Although our identity cannot resist the arrangement of many fates. But if you can accept it, maybe it's not as bad as you think, isn't it?"
Yiyi smiled bitterly, nodded lightly and said, "Whether it's good or bad, since fate has arranged it like this, you have to accept it if you don't accept it." Actually, I didn't say that I hated Ling Dachun, but I just thought that this person was too rude, not like the young man in my heart. Today, it seems, he is not so bad. Merely...... Mother, I want to ask you for one thing. β
"Good boy, just say. If my mother can do it, I will do it. β
Chenxia agreed without thinking about it.
The contradiction between Dugu Yiyi and Baili Tianjiao, the father and daughter, has always been one of the biggest headaches in their family.
Now that Yiyi is willing to be soft, Chenxia is naturally obedient.
It's not because of how much she loves this adopted daughter, but in case the royal family and the Beijiang Gang marry, the status of the royal family will naturally be extremely consolidated.
The person who proposed Dugu Yiyi to marry Ling Dachun was originally Chenxia, so as long as this matter was promoted, then the Beijiang Gang would naturally stand on the side of the second prince. With the strong help of the Beijiang Gang, the second prince could not get the throne.
Dugu Yiyi said a little shyly: "The tradition of our Changge City, when a daughter gets married, the mother wants to sew a wedding dress for her daughter, right?"
"That's nature. Niang is also a three-star blacksmith, focusing on the production of cloth armor clothes. Your wedding dress, I naturally have to use 12 points of heart to make it, this can be assured. β
Chenxia assured with some pride.
"Mine doesn't matter. It's just Ling Dachun's clothes...... Hey, it seems a little inappropriate for you to help him make clothes, and your identity shouldn't do such chores. Dugu Yiyi was halfway through her words, and hurriedly and embarrassedly accepted it.
Indeed, it really seems nondescript to let the dignified queen make clothes for her adopted daughter's fiancΓ©?
But Chenxia still cares so much at this time.
As long as this marriage is promoted, what are you afraid of making an extra piece of clothing, and she immediately agreed: "What's wrong with this? As long as my daughter is happy, it is not difficult to make an extra piece of clothing." Don't worry, with my needlework, I can make a new dress for your little two in one night. β
Dugu Yiyi was immediately moved to the point that her eyes were red, and she immediately thanked her, and then added: "Just make me an ordinary wedding dress, and make him an ordinary scribe's uniform." I hope he can be quiet and not so rude in the future. β
"Okay, it's all up to you. β
......
That night, Baili Yiming came to Shen Lu and said the decision made by Dugu Yiyi with hatred on his face.
"What? Yiyi is going to marry Ling Dachun, is there something wrong with her brain?"
Shen Lu said inexplicably, a little unable to understand Dugu Yiyi's sudden decision.
Baili Yiming also said: "Yes, I don't know why my sister suddenly made such a decision." She seems to be extremely disgusted with you now, I call you brother-in-law in front of her, she used to laugh happily, but today she scolded me fiercely, and said that she could only call Ling Dachun brother-in-law in the future. β
Shen Lu was even more confused, and said helplessly: "That's really weird." What else did she say, did she ask you to bring me a letter or something?"
"My sister is now under close surveillance, how dare I bring the letter out. β
Baili Yiming rolled his eyes and continued: "But she brought you a verbal word, saying that there will be no more feelings between men and women with you in the future, so that you don't have any illusions. He also said that there is an insurmountable gap between the two of you, just like a bottleneck in cultivation that cannot be broken through, and the two of you will not need to meet again in the future. β
Shen Luleng took a moment and found that there seemed to be a mystery hidden in these words.
First of all, Dugu Yiyi said that the two no longer have a relationship between men and women, and this sentence is obviously for outsiders. Because the two have no relationship between men and women, some are just the family relationship between master and apprentice.
If Dugu Yiyi really wants to break off, the words here should be words like "there is no longer anything to do with the two", rather than deliberately mentioning the feelings of men and women.
Thinking of this, Shen Lu asked, "When you are chatting, are you being monitored, and someone can hear your conversation?"
Baili Yiming nodded and said, "My father's personal guards should be able to hear it." What's wrong?"
"That's right!"
Shen Lu patted his thigh and immediately understood the meaning of the second half of Dugu Yiyi's sentence.
She said that the gap between the two was like a cultivation bottleneck that could not be broken, so there was no need to meet.
However, when Shen Lu and Dugu Yiyi first met, they helped her break through the bottleneck of cultivation. For Shen Lu, the cultivation bottleneck was not called a chasm at all.
If there is a gap, you don't have to meet again, and if there is no gap, you just need to meet, right?
The deep meaning of Dugu Yiyi's words is that she hopes that Shen Lu will see her as soon as possible.
Seeing Shen Lu's happy face, Baili Yiming couldn't help but say angrily: "Brother-in-law, my sister is going to marry someone else, instead of being angry, you are laughing? I really misjudged you!"
"Then what do you want me to do? to rob my relatives?" Shen Lu asked with a smile.
"Yes! I'll help you. I have awakened the peak attribute now, you can teach me how to use the peak state flexibly, and I promise to snatch my sister back for you when the time comes. β
After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that his purpose was this.
Shen Lu said helplessly: "Okay, I'll teach you some skills." But don't worry about your sister's affairs, I have my own arrangements. If you dare to act rashly and ruin our big business, your sister and I will not let you go when the time comes. β
