30. Courtship

The next day, a decree came from the palace, the emperor invited Ning Xi to enter the palace, and when the palace people came, Ning Xi was asking for peace from the Great Qin clan, so naturally everyone knew that Ning Xi was going to enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor. The Great Qin Clan immediately said with some hesitation: "Xi'er, Yan'er, she is still young, she is a little confused, you are all sisters, don't worry about her, if the emperor asks about it, you look at you" The more he said about the Great Qin Clan, the more weak his heart became, especially Ning Xi stared at her with a smile.

Ning Xi had to admit that for Ning Yan, the Great Qin Clan was indeed a good grandmother, if she and Ning Yan's situation were reversed today, the person who had ruined her reputation would be Ning Yan, I don't know if the Great Qin Clan could still say these words.

Ning Xi didn't want to stay longer, nodded at the Xu family and the sister-in-law and left, turning a blind eye to the people of the Great Qin family and the third room, the current victim is her, she can't make too much trouble, isn't it?

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw that Shu Heng was also there, Ning Xi was a little puzzled, but he didn't come out, and stepped forward to salute the emperor.

Seeing Ning Xi, the emperor seemed very happy, first gave Ning Xi a seat, and then asked for warmth, and Ning Xi answered them one by one.

After seeing that Ning Xi's body was indeed fine, the emperor cut to the chase: "Xi'er remembers that I promised to give you a good family affair." ”

Ning Xi didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, so he could only nod obediently.

"What does Xi'er think of Zhongyi Hou?"

Ning Xi raised her head in surprise and looked at the emperor, and found that something was wrong, she lowered her head, the corners of her eyes were a little bitter, how similar this scene was, but the person changed positions, back then, she hid in the second room, and heard the emperor ask Shu Heng: "Shaohuan, what do you think of my niece Pingle County Lord?" Are you qualified to be the mistress of your Hou Mansion? ”

How did he answer at that time, he said that the lord of Pingle was pure and good-natured, and it was his honor to marry her, and he would definitely treat the lord of Pingle well in the future.

But Shu Heng, how will you treat me in the future!

"It is naturally excellent for Hou Zhongyi to be young and promising, but Pingle's reputation is flawed, how can he be worthy of Hou Yihou, uncle should choose another good wife for Hou Ye."

"Oh~" The emperor turned the wrench on his hand and looked at Ning Xi with some playfulness, "But Marquis Zhongyi said that he would not marry you, and I really couldn't bear to refuse." ”

Ning Xi suddenly looked at Shu Heng who was standing opposite her, Shu Heng still had a cold face and didn't speak, and Ning Xi began to wonder if there was another Zhongyi Marquis.

Ning Xi pursed his lips and asked: "Pingle is a cautious person, he will definitely not be able to live in peace with the concubine of Marquis Zhongyi in the future, rather than regretting it in the future, Zhongyi might as well give up marrying Pingle now." ”

Hearing this, Shu Heng did not answer Ning Xi, but said directly to the emperor: "The minister only marries the lord of Pingle in this life, and there is no one else around. ”

Not only the emperor, but Ning Xi was also surprised, Shu Heng, you said this, how sad your cousin should be when he heard it! Poor Ouyang Ling still wants to marry her cousin. Well, Ning Xi admits that she is a little gloating, although the timing is not quite right.

"Aiqing, you have thought clearly, since you made this promise in front of me today, you will not be allowed to regret it in the future." The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth, how could he not find that his niece was so attractive that he could make Shu Heng make such a promise.

Shu Heng knelt down solemnly: "The minister will never fail the county lord of Pingle in the future." ”

Ning Xi looked at them with a black line on his face, is it really okay for you to just ask her for the opinion of the person concerned, just talk to yourself there?

"Uncle." Ning Xi forcibly interjected, she felt that if she didn't open her mouth, she would be betrayed by herself, the emperor's uncle, but she didn't want the emperor to give her a chance to open her mouth at all, so she said directly: "Since Marquis Zhongyi has made such a promise, Xi'er doesn't have to worry anymore, I feel that Marquis Zhongyi is really a good match for you, and Xi'er can't refuse my heart this time." ”

Ning Xi's eyes flashed, she heard the meaning of the emperor's words, for the sake of the eldest princess, the emperor could allow her to be willful once, but he would never allow her to continue to be willful. Ning Xi had no choice but to nod.

The emperor said that the matchmaker was successful, and he was in a good mood, and he talked to the two for a while before letting them go, and after the two left, a glimmer of light flashed in the emperor's eyes, Ning Xi, as the heir of the royal family, some things are not up to you to choose, don't blame your uncle in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't expect that Zhongyi Hou, who was the most calm and rational in the court, turned out to be an infatuated species, maybe Ning Xi was not bad to marry him.

When leaving the palace, Ning Xi and Shu Heng walked together, because Ning Xi was in a very unhappy mood, he kept a cold face, and Shu Heng has always had a cold face, so the air pressure around the two of them was extremely low, and the palace people took a detour one after another, afraid that they would be accidentally affected by the cold air pressure of these two people.

"Shu Heng, you are very strange, why do you have to marry me?" Ning Xi still couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth first.

"I thought I had answered that question before."

Ning Xi stopped and shook her head, now her thoughts are very chaotic, the things of the past life and the present life are all messed up in her mind, she is very afraid, she is afraid that the nightmare of the previous life will be repeated, she is afraid that she will be the same as the previous life, she will not be able to protect their child, she dare not imagine what she will do if she loses her child again, some pain is enough to make people feel terrible, how can she do it again.

Shu Heng walked up to Ning Xi, clasped Ning Xi's shoulders with both hands, and looked directly into her eyes: "Ning Xi, you sue me, what are you afraid of?" Shu Heng's words were filled with forbearance of anger, this was the first time she had seen him really have anger since she was reborn.

Ning Xi moved her lips, how to say it, saying that she was reborn, that they had actually married, and that she knew that they were not happy after marriage.

"Shu Heng, have you ever thought that you may not care about me as much as you think, maybe we can't become a good couple that everyone envies, but we will torture each other and suffer each other because of this family business."

A trace of bitterness flashed in Shu Heng's eyes, he hadn't thought about it, but he had already planned it, even if they continued to torture each other in this life, he would not let go of her again, even if she hated him and hated him, he would not let go.

Shu Heng pressed his forehead against Ning Xi's forehead: "The future you said may happen, but that is only one of thousands of futures, there are still many possibilities for our future, why don't we work hard to make our future what we expect, Ning Xi, why don't you give yourself a little more courage and give me a little more trust." ”

Ning Xi still buried his head, pursed his lips, and seeing this, Shu Heng continued: "Ning Xi, believe me once and believe in myself once, okay, we can give each other happiness, Ning Xi, let's try, okay?" ”

In the end, Shu Heng's words even carried a little begging.

Ning Xi closed her eyes, if it was in the last life, if Shu Heng said this after losing her child, she would definitely be moved to tears, she loved him, even if she had experienced so much pain, she still knew that she still loved him, but she was really tired, so tired that she didn't want to love and hurt. Shu Heng, in this life, I don't want to hate you anymore, Shu Heng, I have already let you go in this life, why don't you let me go.

Ning Xi raised his head, and the tears in his eyes shook Shu Heng's body: "Shu Heng, do you really understand me?" Do you really know what I want? ”

Shu Heng, you never understand what I want, when I need your arms, you look at me coldly, when I need your comfort and your promise, you turn away mercilessly, now I don't want anything, I don't ask for anything, but you refuse to let go of me, and you don't even give me the last trace of peaceful life, Shu Heng, no matter in the past life or this life, you don't understand me.

Thinking of this, Ning Xi laughed at himself: "But it doesn't matter, the emperor's decree, how dare I disobey." With that, he staggered away.

Looking at the back of Ning Xi leaving, Shu Heng clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes were full of pain, was it wrong once and it could never be recovered.
