Chapter 357: Worry
By the time Feng Shujia received the news that the former dynasty and the harem were in chaos, the seventh year of Longqing was nearing the end.
"The princes are ready to move, watching the great treasure, and the first emperor reigned for a few years, exactly the same......" Xiao Ji sighed, "Maybe this is reincarnation, fate ......"
This is the sorrow of being born in the royal family, the power is tilted, passed down from generation to generation, and no matter how you dodge, you can't hide from it.
Feng Shujia noticed Xiao Ji's low mood, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, so she could only comfort softly: "It's no wonder that everyone is fighting for me, it's really too tempting for that position." ”
Xiao Ji shook his head and sighed with a wry smile: "The temptation is too great? If it weren't for the deep hatred of the sea of blood that I couldn't go unavenged, if I wasn't willing to live incognito and steal my life all my life, I would rather have nothing to do with that position for the rest of my life......"
Because the competition was so fierce, he woke up every midnight now, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Feng Shujia understood Xiao Ji's pain and helplessness, just like she regretted half her life in her previous life, every time she thought of the dazzling blood red, she couldn't help but feel chills down her spine and weak hands and feet.
After all, instead of being relieved of the calamity of the previous life, the tricky emperor of Emperor Longqing has been added.
Feng Yi's loyalty to the country aroused the suspicion of the King of Fenyang, who had long colluded with Xiliang, and Emperor Longqing, who was the mastermind of the incident, naturally couldn't tolerate Feng Yi's "betrayal".
Therefore, in fact, in the previous life, as long as the King of Fenyang reported Feng Yi's "loyal and patriotic" deeds to Emperor Longqing in the past, even if there was no "evidence" of treason fabricated by Li Jing, Emperor Longqing, who was suspicious, would only think of his own ideas to make Feng Yi's possible hidden danger disappear forever and destroy the Great Wall.
How ridiculous, a courtier would be strangled by the monarch and powerful ministers because of his loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and the whole family would be stained with blood!
To some extent, Emperor Longqing is really her and Xiao Ji's common enemy.
Xiao Ji also saw the hatred and helplessness in Feng Shujia's eyes, although she felt puzzled, she didn't ask more.
Feng Shujia is because he trusts him, so he will reveal his true emotions in front of him, he just needs to accompany and comfort her well and help him get out of the predicament, as for the reason behind this, Feng Shujia is willing to say that he will listen patiently, if he is unwilling to say, he will not care.
Just like Feng Shujia's unreasonable and unreserved trust in him!
What's more, the little girl he fancied was not the kind of delicate and timid, boneless and weak greenhouse flower, but a strong willow who could stand side by side with him and resist the wind and rain in life together.
"Wait patiently, the best is yet to come. Xiao Ji comforted Feng Shujia in turn.
Feng Shujia nodded, convinced of Xiao Ji's words.
Now, in addition to worrying about the future, more of her worries come from Bai's daily fancy urging marriage.
Although Feng Yi had to continue to garrison the northwest border because of the various turmoil in the court and Feng Shujia's seemingly unintentional reminders in his daily letters, in case the Xiliang people took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, the Bai family did not give up urging Feng Shujia to go to various gatherings to see each other.
And as Feng Shujia gets older, the Bai family is getting more and more anxious, and often sighs with Lamei in private: "After the New Year, Jia'er will be married, but this marriage is still not decided, and I have no decline in my heart...... You say, Jia'er won't have a difficult marriage, right?...... No, no, I have to go to the temple to burn incense and worship ......"
Lamei smiled and said comfortingly: "The eldest girl will only be in time next year, so Madame doesn't have to be in such a hurry." With the talent and character of the eldest girl, are you still worried that you will not be able to find a good match? Instead of being anxious, the lady should calm down and ponder carefully to see who can be worthy of the eldest girl in this son of all the families in the capital. ”
"I've been thinking about this for several years, but I still feel that the sons and daughters of each family either have such shortcomings, or have such dissatisfaction, and they can't rest assured that Jia'er will be handed over to others......" Bai Shi frowned and sighed lightly.
Hearing this, Lamei pursed her lips and smiled: "Madame, this is a mother's heart, and I am always afraid that the eldest girl will be wronged, so I will hesitate and make a decision...... The slave maid thought that the lady might as well ask the eldest girl what she meant, and see what she wanted from her future husband and in-laws. After all, it is the eldest girl herself who wants to marry and live in the future, and she can't be satisfied with the lady and the marquis, but the eldest girl herself can't look down on it, and her life is not harmonious, isn't it?"
In fact, what Lamei wants to say is that in the matter of Feng Shujia's marriage, the Bai family seems to be too anxious, but Feng Shujia herself doesn't care.
Rather than being anxious here, Bai should ask Feng Shujia what he thinks.
Afraid of hurting Bai's motherly heart, Lamei could only persuade so tactfully.
"You're right!" Bai nodded, feeling concerned, "Jia'er, this kid, every time it's not so much a look at each other, it's more like going through the motions."
"Every time I go back, I just sit next to me, so I don't have the heart to say much. I, as a mother, don't say anything, people are afraid that she will be thin-skinned in front of her, so naturally it will be difficult to say more.
"Either that, he found a secluded place to sit alone, and politely rejected those who were interested in inquiring one by one......
"I'm really worried that if this continues, I'm afraid that there will be rumors in the capital, and no one will dare to look at our family again......"
"Madam, you think too much!" Lamei said with a smile, "Now in the capital, no one knows, no one knows, our eldest girl is deeply loved and maintained by Princess Shouyang, and Princess Shouyang is the most favored younger sister of the saint, since she was a child, she has been carefully cared for and loved by the queen's mother, who marries the eldest girl, it is equivalent to having a relationship with the royal clan."
"Besides, no matter what the relationship, with the current emperor of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the ability of the eldest girl, who doesn't want to have such a powerful in-law and a capable and virtuous daughter-in-law?"
Bai Shi frowned: "That's why I'm even more worried." Who knows if those people came to ask for marriage, whether they really fell in love with Jia'er as a person, or because of the interests behind her......
"So sometimes I'm worried, and I hope that Jia'er will be mediocre and just like an ordinary girl, and find someone and someone who really values her as a person.
"Sometimes I'm worried that if Jia'er is really so ordinary, then those excellent sons and daughters and people won't take a fancy to her......
"It's so distressing......"
Lamei has been trapped by love for half her life, she has not married and had children, and she can't deeply understand the complexity of Bai's contradictions, but she can also understand which one of the mothers is not so entangled, just like her mother, who hesitated between letting her feel free and being taken care of, and has been delayed for so many years.
