Chapter 345: Fake Red Invitations
"Don't worry, she's not here. ”
"There's a very empty feeling. ”
Seeing Ah Candle coming, Xia Xiao was quite happy. As long as it is not good, he will not be angry when he sees anyone.
"Suddenly I admired those who cheated. ”
"People play with excitement. ”
Xia Xiao had just finished breakfast and was refreshed, but when he saw the invitation handed by Ah Candle, he sighed helplessly and was also relieved.
"Whose invitation is this?"
"My sister and Xie Yi's. ”
"Him?"
Ah Candle knows that Xia Xiao has a sister named Xia Wan, but how can she marry Xie Yi?
"It's just a political marriage. ”
"That's so unfair, it's a lifetime delay?"
"The second sister did not reject the idea of the dynasty, there must be a reason. ”
After looking at the time, Xia Xiao said to Xiaoran:
"I'm going to the wedding in ten days, are you going?"
Xiaoran was a little hesitant, she liked the quiet water, she liked the academy, and she didn't like too noisy occasions. She had heard of human weddings, and they were very lively, but when she thought of many people getting together to drink and talk, she felt a heartfelt disgust. But she still wanted to accompany Xia Xiao, so she nodded. Xia Xiao was careful enough to see her thoughts, and his palm fell on her shoulder.
"It's okay, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, don't force yourself so much. ”
Xiao Ran saw Xia Xiao smile and nodded. Xia Xiao could always guess what she meant, and this feeling made her very comfortable. But Xia Xiao took the invitation card and felt a little irritable in his heart.
The invitation is embellished with pure gold, which is extravagant but too fake. Behind this marriage, it is all the careful thinking of Great Xia and Nanguo. If she wants to keep her interests and safety between the two, or if she wants to get rid of herself as a puppet, Xia Wan must use her ingenuity.
Xia Xiao knows the second sister, she is very smart, cautious, full of poetry and books, there will definitely be a way. It's just that this wedding is sad in nature, and it can't be happy. Even if the second sister keeps herself safe, she is destined to lose something for the sake of Great Xia.
opened the invitation card, and there were two names in it, Xia Wan and Xie Yi. The former Xia Xiao cherished it so much that he looked extremely kind. And a poem in the invitation is too ironic about their situation.
In heaven I wish it was a winged bird, and on earth I would like it to be a branch......
Love words are always better than reality, and wishes are always extremely fulfilling, if you don't know the inside story, you think this will be a beautiful wedding with lovers finally becoming married. Xie Yi is the prince of a country, this wedding will be extremely lively, and guests from all directions will also come. It's just the coldness behind the prosperity that makes Xia Xiao's heart cool the most.
Xia Xiao's heart was empty, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The last time Xie Yi told him about this, Xia Xiao wanted the second sister to make her own decision. If the second sister doesn't want to marry, even if he offends Daxia and Nanguo, he won't let her marry. But their Xia family has always been dedicated to serving the country, and their father went to the north to reorganize the Xia family's army, and the eldest brother accompanied him. The second sister will not back down, and sure enough, Xia Wan is extremely brave to devote herself to a political marriage.
The second sister made her own decision, Xia Xiao naturally couldn't control it, but if the southern kingdom or Great Xia were not good for his Xia family in the future, Xia Xiao would not give up.
Xia Xiao had already seen through the weight of the invitation, and slammed it together and sat on the sofa. He must be going to this wedding, and he has to do something else.
Today, the weather in the academy was sunny, but the imperial capital of the Great Xia Dynasty in the distance was cloudy. Although it is easy to travel on a cloudy day, it can be seen that it is difficult for anyone to cheer up in such weather.
Under the sky, there was an air of caution inside and outside the imperial capital. It's always like this here, everything is in order, like it's in the unwritten rules. Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong got into the carriage together, and the carriage was one of the extremely long convoys, and there were many more in front of it.
The convoy was long, with the banner of the Great Xia Dynasty planted, and slowly walked towards the city gate. There were two men standing on the wall, one old and one young. The old one is hunched over, looking lowly, and the young one is holding his head up, but looking at this team, he only has apologies in his heart.
This marriage should have been undertaken by the royal family, so many ministers with the surname Him, there are always a few young and beautiful daughters in the family. However, for a cultivator like Ji Qingling, Ji Yi couldn't bear to let him marry Nanshang, and the cultivator was a precious resource that could not be wasted at will. But ordinary people can't do it, if the appearance and figure are worse, it is disrespect in disguise.
Thinking about it, Xia Wan is well-read, and even has the style of a princess of a country. Of course, she also has an identity that can lift her to an extremely high position, and that is ...... Xia Xiao's own sister who came from afar.
This identity is very weighty, and since Nanguo agrees to the marriage contract, he does not dare to dissolve it easily. Xia Wan also has a certain guarantee for marrying in the past, because Xie Yi is Xia Xiao's classmate. But Yi Yi, after all, I am sorry for Xia Jinghong's family, first wronged Xia Xiao and exiled the whole family, and the hundreds and ten people in the Xia family all died under the knife, and then there was this incident.
This is the knot in Ji Yi's heart, and Father-in-law Mu looks at it, and there is nothing he can do.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace. ”
Before I knew it, the extremely long convoy had completely left the town, but Yi Yi was still standing in place, like roots growing under his feet.
"Did you give the letter?"
Father-in-law Mu glanced at him, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were a little deeper, and then he said. This is the fourth time that Ji Yi has asked today, but his mind is in that letter, and he hopes that after Xia Jinghong sees it, he can understand what he means and tell Xia Xiao. Regarding Xia Jinghong, Ji Yi is quite relieved, he is a real loyal minister, and he is a minister who can no longer be wronged by the emperor and can be reused. But Xia Xiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Yi Yi once said that Xia Xiao would return to Great Xia after four years in the academy and serve the dynasty. If Xia Xiao stayed in the academy at that time, he would be helpless. Therefore, this letter is a soul-fixing needle. Seeing the convoy go away, Ji Yi turned around and left, leaving a lonely back on the city wall.
Now is a special moment, in order to meet the war in a year, only the Xia family went to the south this time, but there were a lot of gifts, so there was a personal escort from the imperial army of the dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that the treatment of the Xia family at this time is already better than that of the prince of a country, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. Their contributions have far surpassed those of ordinary generals. The glory and benefits brought by it are difficult for many ministers to come up with. In contrast, many so-called ministers are eating dry meals.
In front of and behind the convoy, there were pitch-black carriages, and cultivators sat in them, making the convoy invulnerable. Although the gifts of the convoy are priceless, it is the people in the three carriages who really pay attention.
Three wide carriages were located in the front of the convoy, and the first one sat Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong. The former read the letter with a flat face. What His Majesty is worried about, he understands and understands. However, the top priority is not Xiao Er's stay, but the march of Nanshang a year later. A three-year truce will be on the verge of breaking out!
"Jinghong, when we arrive in Yugu, Xie Yi should also return to China, right?"
"That's for sure, by then, Xiao Er will probably come back. ”
Xiao Rong is looking forward to it, because she can see her youngest son, she hasn't seen her for a year, and she misses it very much. That strong feeling of concern is difficult to carry on letterheads, and words cannot describe it. But what Xia Jinghong was worried about was who was accompanying Xia Xiao? Last time Xia Xiao said that Shu Shuang had passed away, they were sad for a long time, and they all regarded Shu Shuang as a family member, just waiting for the two to grow up and hold a lively and sweet wedding. Unexpectedly, at a young age, he passed away before enjoying the beauty of the world.
Leaving the difficult days of Shu Shuang, Xia Xiao carried it alone, and it was not easy. But soon, they'll be able to meet. Behind Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong's carriage were Xia Xu and Xia Wan. Xia Xu had something on his mind, and although the carriage did not stop, he also rushed into Xia Wan's carriage.
"Brother?"
Xia Wan was reading a book, and when she saw Xia Xulai, she was happy when she closed the book. She is gentle and elegant, and her eyebrows are full of books.
At home, Xia Xu likes to watch Wan'er do things the most, whether she reads books or settles accounts, she is extremely serious, and occasionally glances at her, as beautiful as a fairy. And that elegant and elegant atmosphere adds a bit of temperament to Wan'er's imminent building. But outside in the future, Xia Xu was afraid that she would be bullied.
"Wan'er, I can't rest assured of you. ”
Compared with Wan'er, Xia Xu is just a vulgar warrior, who is good at fighting, heroic, and even more unabashedly when he speaks, directly expressing his concern for Xia Wan. She laughed and covered her lips with her hands.
"Although this trip is to enter Longtan and enter the tiger's den, when they see their father and eldest brother, as well as Xiao'er, they will definitely not dare to make flowers. ”
"Of course, if they dare to bully you, even if I am in the northern border of Great Xia, I will come to administer justice for you. ”
