70. Ukiyo
Married into the Rui Wangfu......
Hua Yuan's eyes widened and she looked at Yan Xu in disbelief. Marrying Yan Xu is something she dreams of, but after the first two painful lessons, she doesn't think that she can still be lucky to get Yan Xu's favor, it is almost impossible. She loves him and loves him so much that she can't help herself, but she's not an idiot either, so she won't be carried away by his words and lose her mind.
She clenched the slightly trembling hand in her sleeve tightly, trying to calm herself, "Please also ask the prince to speak." ”
Yan Xu stood in place, his phoenix eyes glanced at her lightly, and seemed to be more satisfied with her attitude, and continued to look at the peach blossom, and said leisurely: "Ping'an Hou is in charge of 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jinxi, Rui Wangfu doesn't want Ping'an Hou to be Yan Min's backer, although Rui Wangfu didn't take these 200,000 soldiers and horses in his eyes, but in any case, I don't want the Song family to stand on the opposite side." How to choose the master, you still have one last chance. But Jinxi is far away from Yicheng Mountain, Ping'an Hou is sick, Song Bao is still in Dali Temple, you are a daughter, it's time to do something for the family. ”
Hua Yuan was originally a smart person, and in just a few words, she had already heard the multiple meanings in his words. In an instant, all kinds of fragments kept running through her mind, including the recent rumors of succession that have been in full swing in the government and the opposition, including why the Ping'an Marquis Mansion was bitten and why his eldest brother was so coincidental, as soon as he arrived in Yicheng, he met the little concubine who never forgot it, and all these coincidences were inseparable from the hand that was silently pushing behind his back.
And the ultimate purpose of that person's step-by-step implementation of these plans...... A thunderclap suddenly sounded in her head, so startled that she forgot her reserve, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You, you want to ......"
Yan Xu turned her face sideways, smiled at her, and then shrugged lightly, signaling her not to say anything. That bewitching smile made Hua Yuan's heart tremble, and just as her heart was pounding, the demagogic voice sounded again, "So...... The lord of Hua Yuan marryed into the Rui Wangfu, which is the best choice for the Rui Wangfu and the Ping'an Marquis Mansion. ”
She bit her lip and quickly straightened out her thoughts in her mind, saying that Yan Xu took a fancy to her mother's power, so she changed her mind to marry her. Her heart, which had already withered, was suddenly watered with a little rain and dew, and the seeds buried deep in the mud had hope of sprouting. She had long known that Yan Xu was not a thing in the pool, and to tell her heart, she would rather see that the person sitting on the dragon chair was Yan Xu rather than Yan Min, so when she heard that Yan Min was overwhelmed by the rumors of succession, she secretly gloated in her heart.
She doesn't care if she plots or not, in her eyes, Yan Xu is a well-deserved king, even if he is ruthless to her, she still feels that Yan Xu will be able to soar into the sky one day. And if she is fortunate enough to contribute to him on his journey, as long as he gives her a chance, she will not hesitate to go to the soup.
She knows that he doesn't have her in his heart, he only cherishes the moon in his heart, but so what, as long as she can stand by his side openly and accompany him all the way to the top, it is God's favor for her and her greatest glory. What's more, if she agrees to him, not only will she be able to resolve the immediate crisis in the Ping'an Marquis's Mansion, but in the future, Yan Xu will succeed, the Song family will be overwhelmed, and her position will be stronger, much better than marrying Yan Min's useless guy.
She had almost copied a grand picture of the prosperous world in her mind, Yan Xu walked with a crown on her head, she walked beside him in a phoenix robe, and the two held hands and walked step by step to the throne on the jade steps...... She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, so that her voice sounded the same as usual, "Thanks to the favor of the prince, Hua Yuan is willing to marry into the Rui Wangfu and do her best to share the worries and solve problems for the prince." ”
Yan Xu smiled with satisfaction, "Good, very good." ”
But immediately, before Hua Yuan could recover from her great joy, she heard his voice come into her ears lightly, "My father likes calligraphy on weekdays, especially the thin gold body of Du Zhiqiu, who was in the previous dynasty, and he will practice for an hour every day. He also likes to raise starlings, and he has raised no less than ten starlings in Shuo'an Mansion, and each of them will say a few festive words. I only like the ice silk of Shu for dressing, the ink should use Duanzhou Laokeng inkstone, the porcelain should use Ru porcelain, and I love to eat fish in terms of food......"
She was a little confused about his sudden change of topic, but it was only for a moment, she suddenly woke up, and there was a buzzing in her head, but his magnetic voice continued, "In recent days, the Empress Dowager has been unwell, and my father will visit the palace every day and accompany her to the old man's house for lunch. I will give you only ten days, if you will not please him in ten days...... Prepare a coffin to collect your eldest brother's body. ”
In an instant, Hua Yuan only felt that the sky was turning, and the beautiful vision collapsed.
Rui Wang's Mansion, in the house of the small courtyard in the northwest corner, Yun Zhu stood aside with his hands down, watching comfortably put on the washed clothes, his hands loosened and clenched, clenched and loosened. He was finally leaving, and she should have been happy, after all, this scourge was hiding in her boudoir, even if she said that she was forced, but the lonely man and widow faced each other day and night, and she couldn't wash it away. But I didn't expect that it was not like that at all, at this moment, she actually felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, as if she was reluctant, as if she was unwilling, as if she was lost, and as if she was sad.
He hadn't said a word since he heard that Ye Xuan had been kidnapped by the Ming Yan Division last night. When she woke up in the morning, he was sitting quietly at the table, meticulously wiping his sword. Then he told her, and when the hour was over, he left. At this moment, he had put on his clothes, and suddenly reached out to pull out the hosta on his head, let a black hair scatter on his shoulders, and then sat down in front of her dresser, and said in a hoarse voice: "Excuse me, tie my hair." ”
Yun Zhu was only slightly stunned, and then stepped forward to pick up a horn comb to comb his hair. His hair was black and thick, and at this time it was supple over his shoulders, making his knife-like face look a little less resolute and a little softer. Yun Zhu's hand trembled slightly, but An Yi didn't notice it at all, he took out the hairpin left by Prince Wei from his arms, took it in his hand and rubbed it carefully, remembering the words when he handed the hairpin to himself that day, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ah Yi, I know that you disdain anything in your heart, but you have to understand that we live in this world, there are always many bodies that can't help ourselves, we think that we can stay away from the world freely, not bound by the world, but we don't know, the world has never left us, one day in the glitz and dust, one day can not get rid of the troubles of the world. Whether you want to admit it or not, your life experience is destined to have no smooth path in this life. Have you ever wondered why people in the world yearn for power? Because only power can make us strong, only power can allow us to do what we really want to do, and only power can save us from being accused by others, and thus in turn to control others. Ah Yi, think about it, stop being stubborn, go back to Wei, only in Wei, you will become the real you. ”
It was also at that moment that he suddenly understood a little bit why Yan Xu repeatedly sought ten strategies. But back then, for the sake of the Ten Strategies, he almost watched her shed blood in front of him, and his father King Xiang, if he hadn't been delusional to get the Ten Strategies, and tirelessly collected the news of the Ten Strategies, how could he end up with no place to be buried? After going around and around all these years, does he still have to repeat the mistakes of the past and embark on his father's old path?
He clenched the hairpin in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
Yun Zhu combed the black hair in her hand, carefully and patiently, she saw in the mirror that he had his eyes closed, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and his thin lips pursed, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to reach out for him to smooth his tightly locked brows, but she didn't dare, she still continued the movements in her hands. His fever had subsided, and although the injuries on his body were not all healed, they were not serious, except for a somewhat sickly look on his face. The touch in her hand is soft and smooth, the man in the mirror is quiet and silent, she combs it, and she has an illusion that the world is quiet, and she only hopes that time can stay at this moment.
But An Yi quickly opened his eyes and glanced at her, "Hurry up." ”
Her face flushed, and she felt embarrassed to be seen through her heart, but An Yi obviously didn't think in that direction, he only said: "Don't worry, my words count." ”
It turned out that he thought he was worried about the matter of the Bliss Pill, and Yun Zhu stared at his head with lowered eyes, not daring to look at the bronze mirror again. It's also strange to say, although she hated him for putting herself in danger in the past three days, she never worried that he would break his promise and not give her the Bliss Pill, and she couldn't say why this happened, but she had an inexplicable trust in him.
She quickened her movements, and finally he handed her the hairpin and fixed it in a bun. He looked left and right in the mirror, made a good gesture, and then took a small round porcelain ou from the wooden lattice of her dressing table, lifted the lid and handed it to her, "The antidote is here, take it." ”
She was immediately annoyed when she saw it, it was simply a heart-clearing pill that cleared heat and dispelled fire, she often stayed up late to guard the barren mountain some time ago, Yun Wen specially sent it to her, "If you want to kill me, go out and shout, Yun Wei will tie me up and hand it over to the prince to deal with, why bother to tease me again." If you don't want to give it to me, I expected it a long time ago, I only hate my miserable life, and every time I meet you, it's not good. I don't want to see you again, you! ”
In fact, she didn't doubt him in her heart a moment ago, and thought that she was a little special in his heart, and she didn't expect him to fulfill his promise that night, and she would leave it to her if she didn't eat it, but at least she would take care of her day after day and leave her a few pills, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless and use Qingxin pills to perfunctory her.
An Yi sneered, with a rare apology on his face, "I am grateful to you for taking care of me for the past three days, but I think that no matter how nice my mouth is, it probably can't offset your resentment towards me......"
She snatched the stubble, her heart was desperate, and her eyes were red, "So why don't you tease me again?" Do you want to see my jokes before leaving? If you really have a trace of gratitude to me, give me a sword now, so that I will not suffer from the Pills of Bliss and die. ”
Seeing her face disgraced, An Yi hurriedly said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" I haven't finished my words yet, in fact, what I gave you that night was not a blissful pill at all, when I entered the house, I just took a few pills from this pot, didn't you also say it that night, if I have a blissful pill on my body, it was searched in prison as early as possible, how can it be your turn? It's just a joke with you, don't take it to heart. After I'm gone, I'll make sure you're alive and healthy. ”
Yun Zhu was stunned on the spot, she didn't think about it in a panic that night, now listening to him say this, think about it carefully, the taste of the pill in her mouth that night is not the taste of the Qingxin pill? I hate that I have always been careful and cautious, but every time I come to him, I am like a fool and I am played around by him, and I can't help but be annoyed and angry, and throw the comb in my hand at him.
An Yi smiled and dodged, while saying: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, if you want to be angry, I will stand up and let you beat, just don't slap your face." ”
As he spoke, he stood there and didn't move, puffing up his chest and motioning for her to greet him, Yunzhu raised his hand angrily, but after raising it for a long time, the hand did not fall. Maybe if we say goodbye today, there will be no day to meet again, she slowly lowered her hand, and her heart was mixed.
The voices of Helu and a few little girls suddenly sounded at the other end of the courtyard, "Ah, look, it's Kong Ming lanterns, who puts Kong Ming lanterns in broad daylight, there are so many." ”
Hearing this, An Yi quickly pushed open the window and looked at the sky, and sure enough, there were many Kong Ming lanterns rising into the air, and a few were above the palace. He turned around, patted Yunzhu on the shoulder, put away the banter on his face, and said, "Yunzhu, thank you, I'm leaving, you take care." ”
Yun Zhu felt a sense of loss in his heart, smiled reluctantly, and replied to him to take care. An Yi no longer hesitated, turned around and walked to the door, but when he opened the door, he saw Yun Wen standing alone outside the door, looking at him calmly.
