2. First sight
The afternoon sun shone through the half-open windows. On the beauty couch next to the bed, a lazy figure loomed.
Su Yao was holding a book in her hand, and she was a little dizzy when the traditional Chinese characters in the vertical row made her feel a little dizzy, so she simply threw the book in one place, reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
The common text of the Yan Dynasty is okay, it's not a ghost drawing, it's just a traditional character, and Su Yao can barely understand it with even a guess.
Just thinking about the conversation with Mrs. Su a few days ago, she felt that her brain, which had been aching faintly, hurt a little more.
Listening to Mrs. Su's meaning, Su Yao and the prince actually met for the first time at the Plum Blossom Palace banquet in the spring this year.
Just like that, Su Yao was caught by His Royal Highness the Prince, and a few days after the palace banquet, a holy decree came down to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the royal pen gave the marriage, and there was no way to shirk it, just waiting for Su Yao and Lu Li to get married as soon as the ceremony passed in the coming year.
After all, Su Yao was an intellectual woman who had received modern education, and the thought of sharing a man with others made her hair stand on end.
Although she has not seen the prince yet, she has been pondering a lot of history these days, and she has gradually pieced together the appearance of this prince.
The more he pondered, the more Su Yao felt that something was wrong with this prince.
According to the etiquette system of the Yan Dynasty, a man can marry a wife and take a concubine at the age of seventeen, not to mention that he is the crown prince, and the time for the royal family to spread out is already early. But His Royal Highness the Prince, not only was the East Palace empty, but in the past, he refused to look at the woman more.
The concubine in the East Palace is vacant, and it is a piece of fat, so many officials have tried to stuff their daughters into the East Palace.
Who knows that for so long, not only has not a family been able to send the girl to the East Palace as they wish, but these officials who have moved their minds have been bumpy, degrading, and imprisoned.
Su Yao didn't think it was a coincidence, it was clearly a deliberate rectification by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it is said that the prince does not love beauties and good men, so he hates those obstructive officials, Su Yao also believes it.
But the problem is that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is so pure-hearted and has few desires, actually saw Su Yao and gave marriage to His Majesty today, which is a little incomprehensible.
Su Yao calculated that if he really married like this, his future would be very worrying.
Just as he was pondering, a dark green figure flashed in at the door, it was a brocade kite.
Seeing Jin Kite coming in with a happy face, Su Yao swallowed the pastry in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Madame said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that the young lady was fine, and came to see the young lady in person, so he sat in the front yard, asked the young lady to change her clothes, and went to the front yard to meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Su Yao's heart was half cold when he heard this.
Afraid of something, she doesn't want to see this Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all now.
However, if you don't want to return or not, you still have to see it, Su Yao changed into a goose-yellow pleated skirt, cut her hair well, and took a picture of the bronze mirror for a long time, and then walked out of the door satisfied.
Frankly speaking, she is still very satisfied with this Su Yao's good skin.
Although he was a little weaker, Su Yao felt that according to his state of eating like this, he would still be able to be strong sooner or later...... Oh no, it's healthy.
When I walked to the main hall, I saw a dark purple figure sitting in one place through the screen in the distance, very tall.
The wild goose dynasty is still purple and black, and as the prince, he wears purple very well.
Su Yao stopped when he walked to the screen, and glanced at the man a few times through the gap in the screen.
I saw that the man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with sharp edges and corners, his temperament was cold and elegant, and there was a faint sense of distance between his eyebrows.
Su Yao originally thought that the prince of a country should be magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with golden light in his gestures, but he didn't expect that not only did he not have it, but he was a little ...... Cold......
This innocent and cold prince is in line with the rumored pure-hearted personality.
Thinking of this, Su Yao flashed out from behind the screen and greeted Mrs. Su and the crown prince in an orderly manner.
Anyway, it was a marriage contract written by the crown prince and the emperor, and Su Yao thought that this person would not snub her.
I didn't think that the person was not as eager as he imagined, and it could even be said that he was cold, but he bowed his head slightly, and his eyes as black as night swept across her cheeks and left, without lingering on her at all.
Su Yao felt that there was something different, thinking of the wild history book that he had read indiscriminately before, and he had a little guess, but he couldn't be sure, so he sat down on the side, and was silent with his eyes and nose.
"Madame, isn't there anything else to do? Don't worry about me, just get busy. Coldly, the prince opened his mouth.
Mrs. Su was slightly stunned, even if she was engaged, a lonely man and a widow were not in accordance with the etiquette law, and just wanted to open her mouth to shirk it, she saw the man's cold eyes looking over.
Mrs. Su's heart sank. He seemed to want to talk to Su Yao alone?
For this marriage, she and Su Xu tried their best to speak, but they didn't see any effect, if the prince himself understood with her, it might be a little useful.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Su followed the prince's intentions, found an excuse to withdraw, and before leaving, she glanced at Su Yao as if warning.
Su Yao watched his mother throw herself here, not knowing what to say.
Isn't this ancient, is it really good for a lonely man and a widow to be alone in a room......
Here Su Yao was still entangled in the question of his own reputation, the man had already opened his mouth, his voice was cold and cold, and he was as alienated as his eyes, "But it's good?" ”
Su Yao looked up at him at this time, and after only one glance, he lowered his head again, and responded, "Thanks to His Highness, it has almost recovered." ”
"You don't need to think about anything, I want to marry you, naturally I have other considerations, so I ......"
Therefore, there is no need to cry, make trouble, and refuse to marry, because this is a fact that cannot be changed at all.
However, he didn't want to say it to such a situation, so he left half a sentence and just looked at Su Yao with dark eyes.
Su Yao sighed, after all, didn't this prince take a fancy to her family background? No wonder the prince who is so unfeminine has to marry her. It turned out that it was not love at first sight at all, but she just needed her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family.
"Ah Yao understands that if Ah Yao is not the daughter of the Su family, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not be so merciful...... Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is like this, A-Yao will help herself. ”
The man nodded in satisfaction, his clear gaze softened slightly, "It's good to understand." ”
"It's just ......" Su Yao hesitated for a moment, but was stared at by those black eyes like needles on his back, so he didn't feel uncomfortable, so he had to grit his teeth and confess, "It's just that Your Highness doesn't know, Ah Yao and the Prince Regent, but childhood sweethearts, have no guesses." ”
She didn't think she was very lucky to know the truth under the surface of this prosperous world.
Today's emperor is brilliant, diligent and thrifty, and he is also a generation of Ming Jun when he is young, otherwise he would not have invited the long house of the Su family to come out.
At that time, the companion of His Majesty, the later regent Feng Weizhou was also a virtuous minister, and assisted His Majesty Xià to ascend the throne all the way, not only did his sister marry His Majesty Xià and became the queen, but he also went all the way to the seal, and finally gave him the title of regent.
The regent with a different surname, what a gift and trust this is.
It's just that now His Majesty has been sick for a few years, and as early as last year, he no longer went to the court to govern the country, although he ordered the prince to supervise the country at the beginning of the year, but the actual power is in the hands of the regent, and the prince is in charge of the country, which is nothing more than an empty shelf.
Now the foreign affairs are in the hands of Feng Weizhou, and the inner palace is in the hands of the queen, and there are faint signs of substitution.
It's just that this prince took a fancy to Su Yao as his backing, so he had to pull her in.
Su Yao didn't know which side Su Yao wanted to stand on, but as far as she was concerned, she naturally didn't want to get involved in the political affairs of the court, nor did she want to get involved in the competition between the two men.
What's more, Su Yao and the regent are childhood sweethearts.
She was raised in Pingxi, the county of the Su family, since she was a child, and was also taught by her grandfather in Pingxi Academy, but she didn't expect the regent to send her eldest son to Pingxi Academy.
The Yan Dynasty is very enlightened, men and women can go to school together, and although the regent prince is a few years older than Su Yao, he can be regarded as Su Yao's classmate.
This classmate is seven years.
It wasn't until this year's Chinese New Year that Su Yao was recruited to Changning Jing, and the two separated.
The prince chose her to be the crown princess, does he know her relationship with the prince regent? If she becomes the crown princess, can the prince maintain his trust in her?
"I know it." His Royal Highness the Prince's expression barely changed, and his exit was also calm and abnormal, and the five words were said lightly, a little carelessly.
"Since His Highness knows, does he still trust Ah Yao?"
Anyway, it seems that Su Yao is also more inclined to the regent prince! What did he rely on to believe that Su Yao gave up his childhood sweetheart, the Prince Regent, to help him?
It was only at this time that the prince's face with a calm expression loosened slightly, and it turned out to be the arrogance of putting death in the afterlife.
"Since I have chosen you, I will not doubt you. Bet on this time, so much worse. ”
Su Yao didn't know why, this sentence was so arrogant, it actually made the prince say a little regret and sadness......
Su Yao helplessly raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, sighed, and didn't speak, only feeling his head buzzing.
Although she picked up a life, she was not completely complete, and although she drank a lot of medicine every day, her head was still as chaotic as ever.
only said a few words to this prince, but Su Yao had to mobilize all his nerves, for fear that if he said the wrong word, he would never recover.
Su Yaowu sighed to himself, but he didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still cold and indifferent, but the pair of clear black eyes suddenly became hot, as if they were going to burn her.
Naturally, she didn't see it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in purple suddenly stood up and swept in front of her in a few steps.
A slightly cool but gentle slender hand gently stroked her forehead, and the man spoke, his voice was gentle and gentle, and he was like two people, "Are you okay?" ”
Su Yao was startled and subconsciously hid back.
