Chapter 145: Princess Confucian One
VIP chapter content,
This childhood sweetheart's joke was a lot of ups and downs back then, and Yang Yongnian frequently went to Li's door to ask for an explanation, and the Confucian King naturally didn't know the truth, but he never thought that this matter would have anything to do with him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt that time, he was just a teenager who had lost his mother, licking his wounds alone in the deep palace......
The young man in front of him, with clear eyes and an indelible sharpness. He put down the teacup and looked at Yang Yan: "Have you asked her wishes?"
Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, the word 'she' spit out of the Confucian king's mouth was gentle and gentle, as if it would shatter with a little force, and Yang Yan's expression gradually changed. With a hint of stubbornness in his tone, he said, "Ah Ci never said that she didn't want to. ”
The Confucian King silently put down the teacup in his hand, looked directly at him, and said, "I know that you are sincere to her, but in this world, there are many things that cannot be grasped and are unpredictable. For example, your fourth uncle Yang Tingyu was forced to leave Beijing back then, and he had nothing to resist. For another example, now he is a sharp sword, but he still can't return to the capital openly. ”
Yang Yan's face changed, and the knuckles of his fingers turned white. He joined the army at a young age, had a stoic personality, and was not a fledgling teenager. There was silence in the pavilion, his throat was tight, and he slowly withdrew his hand, forcing himself to hold back the panic in his heart. After a while, he reluctantly spoke: "Although Zhanzhi is the eldest grandson of the family, everything must be decided by the elders, the prince is right, in this world, there are many things that cannot be grasped, and I can't help myself." ”
When the Confucian King mentioned Ah Ci and the fourth uncle, he already realized that his heart almost fell into the abyss at this time.
"I don't want to get involved in the chaos in the court, just considering Ah Ci's ......" King Confucian's mind flashed Li Shuci's plain appearance today, weak but stubborn standing in this world, "She shouldn't bear this." ”
Yang Yan's hand trembled slightly, and the Confucian King didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "The moment you see Yang Tingyu, you should know what your Yang family is enduring, or about to bear, do you want her to accompany you to take this risk?"
"I can protect her!" Yang Yan stared at the Confucian King, his gaze as unwavering as when he promised to marry Li Shuci.
"When Yang Tingyu's sword is unsheathed, are you really sure that you can really protect her? I'm afraid that your grandfather is always ready to kill her to prevent future troubles, right?" The Confucian King didn't seem to see Yang Yan's unwillingness, he said: "As you said, although you are the grandson of the Yang family, everything has to be decided by the elders, and the entire Yang family, how much say do you have?"
"This ...... Don't worry about the prince...... "He waited for a long time to get this paper of marriage contract......
"If the king knew that Yang Tingyu was in Shangjing at this time, I don't know what would happen to the Yang family?"
Yang Yan lowered his head slightly, suddenly smiled, and his voice was difficult: "It turns out that my fourth uncle is in the hands of the prince." ”
The Confucian King was silent for a moment, "This matter is indeed difficult for me, but if you can let the Yang family escape, I don't think you will make the wrong choice." ”
Yang Yan felt that everything in front of him seemed to have been frozen, everything around him was frozen there, unable to move, it turned out that everything the Yang family had done had already been exposed......
King Confucius seemed to know his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "I will help the Yang family bury all this, so that the Yang family will still stand in Chongnan as a big family, and your fourth uncle will also have no worries about his life." ”
The pavilion fell into silence again, for a long time, Yang Yan's eyes were red, and the slightest trace of blood was entangled in his nerves, he suppressed the strong premonition in his heart, and asked, "What does the prince want me to do?"
The Confucian King sighed and looked up, as if his gaze could pass through this door, through everything, to see the weak and stubborn girl.
Finally, he said, "Give up this family business." ”
Everything around him was frozen by this sentence, which seemed to have the power to eliminate everything, making Yang Yan feel that he was almost in boundless darkness.
Give up this family business.
Yingtian Academy, all kinds of things in those years, the beautiful dreams of those youths, and the hard work of those times all turned into bubbles and burst because of this sentence.
The people he had been waiting for so hard, the people who were almost within reach, would eventually be far away.
The light of spring seemed to have extraordinary power, and through the window lattice to their eyes, they both saw the complex emotions in each other's eyes, flowing endlessly, silently and invisibly.
After a long time, Yang Yan spoke: "There are many treacherous things in the court, and the prince's life is complicated, are you really sure to protect yourself in such a situation? She is just a weak girl, under the turmoil of her family and country, is the prince sure that she will be safe and sound?" Yang Yan said in a low voice, word by word, "I don't think the prince may be a little more sure than me." Sometimes, overly strong self-confidence may turn a piece of jade into rubble. What's more, this family business is a king's ......."
"This family affair was set by Li Yu and your grandfather, and the king's marriage is just to add a lot of color, and there is no political interest in the family affair, so what is there to the monarch who cannot be violated? Not to mention that you think the monarch really approves of this family affair?" The Confucian king sighed: "Moreover, you don't know what kind of woman she is after all...... She has never been a weak girl to be slaughtered, she is wiser and tougher than any woman, and she is not even lost to men. I think there is enough tacit understanding between me and her to be able to stand side by side. ”
Yang Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and in his memory, she was willful and proud, delicate and beautiful. But he never said these ...... "your tacit understanding......" He looked up, "But Ah Ci has never said a word of refusal to me......"
"Because...... Your decision is not enough to change anything......" The words of the Confucian King completely crushed Yang Yan. "So, it's the best of both worlds. so that both parties can be preserved. ”
Yang Yan only felt like a soldering iron that had fallen into the icy water, and it was difficult to calm down...... But he couldn't ignore his grandfather's relatives and the Yang clan for his own sake, and finally he said: "I will...... Retirement. ”
Halfway through the spring banquet, Princess Anyang called the Confucian King to her side: "I said the fourth, you can't look down on any of the so many famous ladies?" I don't care, you must choose a princess for me today, otherwise don't think about leaving." ”
The Confucian King smiled faintly, still looking like the old god was there, An Yang's anger rushed to the top of his head, and just about to speak, the Confucian King said: "The nephew has been chosen, but I don't know if she is willing." ”
An Yang was stunned for a moment, "Selected?" Then she asked again: "Which girl?, how can you be unwilling? Which of the ladies who came today is not staring at you and waiting for you to pick." Could it be that it is not among these people, which important minister of the imperial court is in charge?" An Yang obviously also knew about the embarrassing situation of the Confucian king.
The Confucian King shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Sort of." It is the granddaughter of the right minister Li Yu, the fifth girl of Li Wu. ”
An Yang was stunned for a while, who is Li Yu's granddaughter, Li Wu's girl? Isn't that Li Shuci? "I said the fourth child, you, how can you fall in love with someone else's daughter-in-law? This ...... I also like this child very much, but no matter how good she is, she is also someone else's daughter-in-law...... You ......"
She and Yang Yan have already dissolved their marriage contract, but others don't know about it yet. The Confucian King explained very calmly.
An Yang was stunned for a while, and said in surprise: "What you said is true?"
The Confucian King nodded.
An Yang thought for a while and said, "Ah Ci, this girl, I have long felt that she is very close to me, and it turns out that this fate is actually here with you." Princess Anyang was quite excited, she had a good relationship with Ah Zhen, she had no heirs, and treated Jin Sheng like her own child: "Your mother concubine is in the sky, and she will be very happy." ”
The Confucian King nodded silently.
"Look at me, what do you do with this! It's a good thing, a great thing. An Yang seems to have thought about the situation when the two tie the knot in the future, "Fourth, you have a good eye, I am very satisfied!" However, originally there was no her at today's spring banquet, I must have called her here, so I don't know if she is willing, so I don't think Ah Ci is the usual person who twists it, so I quietly asked her to ask." What do you think?"
The Confucian King nodded again.
Li Shuci, who had just come down from the flat boat, didn't know what was happening, and meeting Shen Yuan today made her feel very bad, it had been a long time, and she still couldn't calm down, looking at the incomparably lively Yingying Yanyan back and forth, she always felt very irritable. Even Yu Baochan noticed that something was wrong with her and asked, "Ah Ci, what's wrong with you today?"
Li Shuci looked at her, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's nothing, it's just a little annoyed in my heart." ”
Yu Baochan frowned and said: "Well, this group of women is like crazy, desperately trying to behave, you see! That orchid finger, that action is the same as a puppet, so don't you get tired of laughing? It's really boring." I don't want to see them. ”
Li Shuci didn't bother to explain to her, and was silent. Yu Baochan has been talking a lot, and said: "You say, who will the Confucian King choose to be the princess? He must choose one today, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the king, I heard my father say that the king and the queen mother have already given an ultimatum!"
Li Shuci frowned and looked at the group of ladies gathered everywhere, each with a good demeanor and a variety of styles, listening to Yu Baochan's chattering voice, he only felt more irritable. He stood up, "Let's go, let's go over there." ”
There are many people who come to join in the fun today, such as the princes and some sons of the family. Li Shuci doesn't want to meet anyone again, he only picks a place with few people to go, although the Fuling Palace is vast, there are many palace maids, and they don't have to worry about getting lost. Qingge and Mu Yun were also fascinated by the scenery here for a while, and they had a lot of fun.
The waiter sent by Anyang turned around the boss and didn't see Li Shuci, so he had to go back to resume his life, the Confucian King heard that he didn't find anyone, his face changed, Anyang only felt that the figure around him moved, and the Confucian King had already gone out of the palace. An Yang muttered: "This fourth, it's really heart-to-heart." Then he instructed the attendant, "You also follow and look for it again, quietly, don't alarm others and cause trouble." ”
The Confucian king inquired about several chamberlains, and only then did someone say that Li Shuci had gone to the mountain road, and his feet were extremely fast, and he went all the way down the road, and when he heard the voice in front of him, his heart was relieved, and then he was angry, didn't she know that this was very dangerous? Running around indiscriminately, what if something happened! Slowly passing over, his tone could not hide his blame: "You don't have a good time visiting the garden, what are you doing here?"
