7. False dreams and true feelings
Yao Xitong was dressed in a bright red brocade robe and a red double-feathered flower top hat, and walked respectfully towards the center of the hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Bao'er glanced at him through the beaded curtain, this person is indeed handsome, but unfortunately not the type she likes. The facial features are too delicate and lack of masculinity, and the beautiful phoenix eyes make its overall temperament slightly feminine.
is still good-looking, with a Chinese face, peach blossom eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. At first glance, he is a humble gentleman who is elegant and gentle, but he moves cleanly, calmly and chicly. Her heart is very small, once she is filled with Xuanze's shadow, how can she look down on Yao Xitong. After a slight glance, she looked away from Yao Xitong.
The Empress Dowager looked at Yao Xitong casually, "Tanhualang, do you know that Princess Bao'er has a noble status, and she is not only the princess of Great Xia, but also the guest of honor of Great Xia." Without waiting for Yao Xitong to answer, he continued: "You want me to give up my identity to the most noble princess in order to fulfill your loyalty and filial piety, this is really bold enough!"
"Don't dare!"
"Don't you dare, the mourning family asks you, if the princess agrees to your request, what will you do to her after marriage?" As soon as these words came out, Yao Xitong and Xuan Ze were both shocked.
Xuan Ze picked up the wine glass and took a sip, using his movements to hide the shock in his heart. He had already asked Su Su to pass the word to Xiao Bao'er, why did there still be such a mistake? Did the Empress Dowager find out something?
Yao Xitong kept his head down, and he didn't want to believe what the Empress Dowager wanted to express in her heart. Xiao Bao'er is stupid, why do you have to marry him? Could it be that today you really want to marry a princess who is not a princess?
"The minister should treat the princess as a treasure and treat it with heart. ”
"Bao'er, did you hear Tanhualang's words?"
Xiao Bao'er got up and knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager, and said softly: "Bao'er thanks the Empress Dowager for her success." ”
"Get up, the mourning family promised that the king of Northern Liao would help you find a good family in the Central Plains...... Look at this Tanhualang's handsome appearance...... He also promised to treat you well, and the mourning family agreed to this family business. But there is one thing that the mourning family will not give into, you are the princess of Great Xia, and this kind of identity does not allow you to give up easily. You are willing to go with your husband and wife to experience the folk life, and the mourning family will not stop you. If one day you want to go back to the palace, the palace gate will always be open for you. ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother took out a strangely shaped object and hung it around Xiao Bao'er's neck, "This was once a beast tooth given to the mourning family by the King of Northern Liao, and it is said that the fierce beasts on the grassland will retreat as long as they smell the breath of this beast tooth." The mourning family has lived in the palace for a long time, and can not appreciate the magic of this thing, and now I will give this thing back to you, which is considered to be the heart of the king of Northern Liao to your favor. ”
"Remember, this thing contains the blessing of the mourning family and the king of Northern Liao to you, and you must not lose it. ”
Xiao Bao'er nodded seriously, and said secretly: There is still this kind of treasure at home? Why did my father never mention it? Seeing things and thinking about people, she suddenly wanted to go home, wanted to sing on horseback in the vast grassland, and wanted to forget everything about Xuanze and start over......
At the birthday banquet, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to mention marriage choice, in order to allow Xuan Ze to marry Xiao Baoer smoothly. Glancing at Xuanze in the distance, the Son of Heaven mustered up the courage to interject: "Grandmother Huang, can Princess Bao'er's marriage wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival hunt to be married, and I will personally marry the princess?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the Son of Heaven lovingly, she knew that this child must have been bewitched by Qingshanjun to take the initiative to interfere in Xiao Bao'er's marriage.
Seeing the hands of the Son of Heaven hanging at her side nervously clenched into fists, she sighed secretly: What a poor child, they are already seven years old, they are still so timid and cowardly, they have no opinions, and they are led by Xuan Ze all day long. You must know that Xiao Bao'er should have married him, this is the best way to ensure that Northern Liao does not invade Great Xia, what a pity!
There are still ten days to hunt for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I want to see what wind and waves Xuanze can play. With this in mind, she said gently, "Your Majesty, the affairs in the palace are naturally up to you. The Son of Heaven gave him a marriage, this is a blessing from Bao'er's cultivation, if the king of Northern Liao knows about this, he will definitely understand Daxia's respect for Northern Liao. ”
After getting the answer he wanted, the Son of Heaven's clenched fists finally relaxed, "I, thank you Imperial Grandmother!"
The birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager kicked off in a song of praise and virtue, and the neighboring countries, the princes, the princes and ministers, but saw the treasures and treasures carried up to the main hall like a stream. The singers chanted, and the beautiful voices swirled around the beams, and the dancing girls swirled, and they bloomed like purple and red flowers in the main hall.
Xiao Bao'er didn't listen or watch, and her heart was still stuck in last night's dream. She remembered that she unfortunately fell into the water on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival hunt, and Xuan Ze, who refused to marry at the birthday banquet, happened to sacrifice his life to save him on that day, and used a good play written and directed by himself to make their marriage fulfill.
Give up Xuanze today and choose someone else as her husband, the day of the hunt will be the same as in the dream? Xuanze will repeat the trick in order to marry her? Thinking of this, she decided not to go out in the turtle shrinkage palace on the day of the hunt.
On the night of the birthday banquet, Xiao Baoer said that she was sick and left the table, and closed the palace door for several days in a row, and did not see any outsiders. Her behavior happened to fulfill the Queen Mother's wishes.
This dictator of Great Xia would never tolerate anyone with ulterior motives approaching the young Son of Heaven, dividing her feelings from the Son of Heaven and using the Son's power to satisfy his own selfish desires. She believed that Xuan Ze would still move, and for this reason, during the period when Xiao Bao'er was sick and bedridden, she placed countless guards outside Xiao Bao'er's bedroom, and the idle people couldn't speak for Xuan Ze at all.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the Son of Heaven visited the sick and sent away unrelated people, he left time for Xuan Ze, who pretended to be a eunuch. Xiao Baoer really felt that she underestimated Xuan Ze. When did he start to have a relationship with the Son of Heaven like a close friend, and he could say that the Son of Heaven deceived the Empress Dowager for him?
"Baby, you have suffered," there was no half of accountability, only a warm embrace and pity in the words.
Xiao Baoer snuggled in a familiar embrace. Since dreaming, Xuan Ze's transformation of her has all come from the mouths of others. In the dream, Xuan Ze was an unscrupulous person for the sake of his superiority, but was he really? Is the dream created by Rhino Incense really the future?
Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads of broken threads, she really liked Xuan Ze, not all the bad of Xuan Ze in the dream, there were also two people fighting side by side, Xuan Ze blocked the enemy's blade for her.
"Baby, why are you crying, but the Queen Mother forced you to choose someone else this time?"
Xiao Bao'er kept shaking her head, full of worries and didn't know how to speak.
"Baby, what the hell is going on?Have you forgotten the oath and promise between us?" Hearing Xuan Ze mention this, Xiao Bao'er cried even more sadly. She has never forgotten the oath and promise, but she doesn't know why Xuan Ze wants to marry so many women and why he wants to set up a new queen? Who among them has forgotten the oath and promise?
"Brother Xuan, do you know rhino incense?"
"Shun buries Dongji, Xiangshui South Rhino, and Zhongtu Qilin, takes the horns of the three saints, grinds the powder with a hundred years of sandalwood, and burns it into a dream, then the future can appear! The congratulatory gift sent by the father has this rhino incense, and Bao'er has a nightmare. In the dream, Bao'er's father and brother both died on the battlefield because Bao'er married Brother Xuan. Bao'er cares about Brother Xuan, but she doesn't want things to develop like in a dream, so please forget Brother Xuan!"
Xiao Bao'er pushed Xuan Ze away, she didn't want to, and she didn't want to break her oath. But the future is there, the ancestral temple, the flying flower hall, these places she has never been to really exist...... She loves Xuanze and can die for it, but she doesn't want to drag her father and brother down. For this reason, she would rather choose to leave her loved one for life!
Xuan Ze has never seen such a sad Xiao Bao'er, but in a few days, there is no longer the carelessness and coquettishness in her eyes, only an incomprehensible sorrow.
"Baby, don't you want a husband because of a dream? Baby, have you forgotten the happy times we have had together in the past few years?"
Xiao Bao'er reached out and stroked Xuan Ze's face, and when the skin touched, it retracted sharply like a hot hand. How young is Xuan Ze at this time, if he says everything that will happen in the future, will he change for her?
"Brother Xuan, if I marry you, can you give up returning to the Song Land and not compete with others for the position of Lord of Song?"
Xiao Baoer learned through a dream that Xuanze's biggest hidden pain and heart knot were related to Song Di.
Xuan Ze's mother was originally the wife of Song Zhu Ming Media, but when she got married, she was replaced by her half-sister because of her status as a concubine. Lord Song knew all this, and not only did he not help his mother, but instead summoned his mother as a slave and maid to the Hou Mansion together.
The sister who was supposed to be the wife gave birth to a concubine, and the impostor sister gave birth to a concubine. According to the primogeniture system, Xuan Ze lost the right to inherit the throne the moment he was born. If this is the case, it would be fine, but that sister's heart is as black as carbon, not only does she regard her sister as a slave, but she also becomes a slave in the house with Xuanze. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the dark-hearted sister died early due to illness, which gave Xuan Ze a glimmer of life in the house.
Xuan Ze had always been pale, listened to Xiao Bao'er's question, and suddenly asked sharply: "What benefits did the demon queen promise you, and it is worth your efforts to help her like this?"
After knowing each other for five years, Xuan Ze was angry with Xiao Baoer for the first time, and his slightly hideous face was no longer gentle and elegant in the past.
Xiao Bao'er took a step back in fright, and was a little suspicious that the angry Brother Xuan was really the person in front of him?
"Baby, the timing is not right for me to talk to you more. One thing you have firmly remembered for me is that no one can marry you without my consent!" After saying this, he turned and left, with an indescribable firmness and determination in his upright back.
Xiao Bao'er was paralyzed on the ground, is it really a mistake to like Xuan Ze? Xuan Ze has always pretended to be kind to her? Tears blurred her eyes, she shook her head and kept saying: No, it's not like this...... Xuan Ze suddenly lost her temper only because she was speechless for a while.
About the various entanglements between Xuan Ze and Song Di, others did not know, until she personally killed Xuan Ze's younger brother Xuan Hua was uneasy. In order to appease her, Xuan Ze had to say the hidden pain that had been buried in his heart for many years. Previously, she was quick to talk for a while, and she inadvertently revealed Xuan Ze's ambition to try to recapture the lord of the Song land. The smart Xuan Ze must have thought that this was the Empress Dowager's temptation of him, so he would be so fierce to her.
Like a person is like this, reason can't control emotions, the truth can't hit emotions, and I always want to speak for the person I like.
Xiao Bao'er sat for a moment, and suddenly thought of a question, Xuan Ze was extremely stubborn, and his words before leaving must be meaningful. Although she said that she would marry Tanhualang as her wife as soon as the day passed, Xuan Ze could not disobey the emperor's order...... Tomorrow in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Son of Heaven is going hunting. In the midst of the lightning, she thought of another possibility.
If Tanhualang died, her marriage contract would be invalid, and Xuanze's purpose would be half achieved. After knowing each other for a few years, she knows a little about Xuan Ze, and he will definitely do this kind of thing that can achieve his wish without disobeying the emperor's order.
Yao Xitong, where are you? You must live well, I don't want to fall short and end up in the same fate as in my previous life.
