22. Dongfeng deceives dreams
Shunzhen glanced at the door from afar, and there was no conversation, as if nothing had happened. The marriage of a princess is much more difficult than that of ordinary girls. She sometimes listens to the concubines talk about the brothers and sisters outside the palace, the men and women who have already set up a relationship, and they can also have private contacts while the family is not prepared, after all, the house is not as good as the palace, and you can always find opportunities if you want to see them. They are different, except for her daring to break out of the palace, there is basically no chance to get along.
When Wanwan returned to Yude Palace, Xiao Duo was already waiting for her under the eaves, and the vermilion stalk lined with the snow on the steps, which was a little dazzling. Luoyang flowers are good, not mine. She sighed in her heart, now that the relationship with King Nanyuan has been decided, this kind of melancholy is increasing unabated, probably the girls to be married are like this!
She has to take good control of herself, just like the Queen Mother said, with someone, her heart should be retracted.
She smiled, feeling very decent, "Why is the factory here?" ”
The night is about to fall, because the weather is not good, and there is a taste of desolation. She was lightly furrowed, and her eyebrows and eyes looked sparse, which was very different from before. Xiao Duo was stunned for a moment, and Fang waved his hand at her and saluted, "The minister heard that His Royal Highness's boss went to the ceremonial supervisor today, is it to find the minister?" ”
It's really to find him, but for some reason, it's not important now. She tilted her neck and thought for a while, "I didn't look for you on purpose, but I wanted to go out of the palace for a walk, and I happened to be there, go in and see if you came back." ”
As she spoke, she lifted the corner of her skirt up the stairs and staggered past her, leaving a faint aftertaste.
He took off his cloak and sat on the throne with his hands, and he followed suit, waiting for the scarf beside him, and when he looked at her a few times, he was a little speechless and stopped. Wanwan knew in her heart that Zuo was just because of the matter of marrying King Nanyuan, and he also sympathized with her situation. If he looks like a mourning concubine, but makes him worried, because he makes a light appearance, he teases him with three points of playfulness: "I used to have a lot of miscellaneous things, and I often rely on you to take care of it for me, now I am going to get married, and the factory minister will be bored in the future, so what should I do?" ”
Seeing that she didn't have a sad look, half of the stone in his heart was put down, but there was a faint sadness in his voice: "Jinling is thousands of miles away from here, don't stay too long after Your Highness goes down, the minister will prepare the princess's mansion for Your Highness, if Your Highness feels that you are not used to staying there, come back." ”
Wanwan said okay, "I went back to Jinling on the sound floor, and when I came back, I always praised the beautiful mountains and rivers there, and I also wanted to go and see." I grew up in the Forbidden City, and I don't know what the outside world is like. It's just that I can't bear this dormitory, and there are ......" she loved, her eyes wandering over the structure and furnishings of the temple, and then stopped at him, "the one who has always taken care of me." I lost my father and mother when I was six years old, and although my brother loved me, I was still lonely for a while. Later, I met the factory minister, you came to my palace to take charge, and I was not afraid of your jokes, at first I was afraid that you would come, but then I slowly learned that you are a good person. ”
When she spoke, she was calm, and when she mentioned the past, she had a shy smile on her face, but in the end it was still gloomy, "I originally wanted to stay for a few more years, I still remember that the Emperor of Huyang, who was adopted by the imperial grandmother before, seems to have waited until she was twenty-three years old to come out, why did I send me away in a hurry when I was fifteen." The emperor ordered that the national mourning should be replaced by days and months, and I will not be used in my heart after all. I waited for three years before calling me out, but unfortunately ......"
She smiled and frowned, and shook her head, like an elderly person, who couldn't bear to blame the juniors for their hasty and provocative decisions. Xiao Duo looked at her quietly, feeling guilty for his inability to keep her. It is not easy for people to live in this world, and everyone has difficulties that no one knows. obviously wanted to protect her so much, but when he was in dire straits, he still chose to protect himself.
The higher a person stands, the more involuntary he becomes, just like climbing a ladder, and after reaching the top, he still wants to go back the way he came, how difficult it is. She was born in an imperial family and has long understood this truth.
What can he do? I can only mention her, "His Royal Highness and King Nanyuan have met a few times, and what they have seen is probably his calm and gentle. The emperor's marriage this time seems to be very compatible on the surface, and the minister also hopes that His Royal Highness can live well. But Your Highness, your marriage is different from others, don't forget to pay attention to each other, please remember your highness's words. ”
Wanwan's heart sank, and she nodded: "I will keep it in mind, you don't have to worry about me." ”
He didn't seem to be able to find a topic for a moment, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "All the matters related to His Highness's departure and surrender will be handled by the ministers himself, and His Highness will never be wronged." Minister...... If there is something wrong in the past, I can't live with Your Highness, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”
He bowed down on his knees, and was so shocked that Wanwan hurriedly got off the throne to support him, "The factory minister has taken care of me in everything all these years, where is there anything that is not missing." Thinking about it, she laughed again, "The first queen mother was teary-eyed, and now you are like this, I am just given marriage, and I don't want to ask for beheading, why do you make me afraid." The will says, there are still two months left in the spring, don't make life and death like parting. ”
Her words were like proverbs, and Xiao Duo's heart trembled. Look at her carefully, since she grew to the age of thirteen, because of her identity, he didn't dare to look at her like this anymore, and today he suddenly found that the green plum was just growing, and she was already a big girl.
Wanwan smiled shyly, "Factory Chen, I'm good-looking, right?" ”
He was slightly stunned, nodded and said that it was good-looking, "Your Royal Highness is naturally graceful, and she is the best-looking princess in Daye." ”
She chuckled, "No, I'm the only princess in Daye now, so I'm naturally the best-looking." ”
She turned around, her skirt fluttering back to her seat, "My marriage, try to keep it simple." At present, the treasury is empty, and it can't afford any big expenses, so don't work for me alone. ”
In addition to cultivating and refining pills, the emperor is also planning to build a star-picking tower that is more than 100 zhang high, but she only needs to be simple in her life, and she really thinks about the world all the time. The more this happens, the more people can't let go, in case a catastrophe strikes one day, I don't know how she will deal with herself......
Xiao Duo lowered his pipa sleeves, unspeakable, full of depression. How should he prepare for her, he has his own plans, but it is inconvenient to say more, and he waved his hand and said: "It's not too early, the palace gate will be keyed, and the minister will retire." ”
She stood up, "I'll take you to the door." ”
He didn't refuse this time, he just showed her the way. She stood beside him, tall, almost up to his shoulders. There was a slight distance from the palace gate to the palace gate, and she walked slowly with him, so many years, this was the only time, and probably the last.
With every step Wanwan takes, tears condense a little. She has always wanted to make a decision, and choose the most beneficial today.
The wind and snow were raging between heaven and earth, and she stood under the Hexi color painting, her face warm. He looked down and pointed to the bracelet on his wrist, "Give me this, I like it." ”
When he heard this, he took off the bracelet, the heavy one hundred and eight beeswax beads, and handed it to her, "Your Highness likes it, leave it for a thought." ”
She stroked the pair of Tianyan stone pendant horns, "I just need this." ”
Just a small part, not all, she has never been an extreme person.
He said yes, took it down and put it in the palm of her hand, there were a thousand words, and it was difficult to pour out in his throat.
She clutched the pair of falling horns tightly and murmured, "I don't have this on my beads, and my ten eyes are entwined, which is really rare." ”
A princess, what kind of baby has not been seen. She still remembers playing with the people under her when she was a child, pouring a box full of pearls and gems on the ground to play marbles, and finally only half of the box was recovered. Some of them will never be found, she knows that they have been ignored, but they don't mention it, as if they will make the palace a prison. Now coveting his Tianyan Stone is not for its rarity, as he said, keep a thought, because there may not be another chance in the future.
She was satisfied, and called the little eunuch to send him an umbrella, "That's it, the factory minister walks on the road." ”
He gestured to her, and put the bracelet back around his wrist one by one, missing the falling corners, and always a little alone.
He stepped out of the palace gate, looked at him gracefully, withdrew his gaze before he went up the road, and let the door be closed.
There are still two months, and we will land in two months, so the time seems to be a bit rushed. It was so busy outside that she hid in Yude Palace and didn't know it. I only heard that the Yin Pavilion had entered and exited with the emperor in the same light, and Xiao You was full of disdain when he talked to her, "It's really unbearable, and the emperor is also a little anxious." He doesn't care about his own face, and he doesn't care about the face of His Highness? ”
Wanwan shouldn't, they don't even want to listen to their.
Yuwen Liangshi stayed in Beijing for a few more days because of the wedding, for example, some etiquette of the princess's departure were specially taught. There was no precedent for a princess to marry a vassal king before, and the process of following the horse to the vassal had to be changed. Rao is like this, he can also ask someone to send some small objects in, and even went to Xiangshan to pick maple leaves, and inscribed poems on them, just like a love talk.
Wanwan's feelings for him are really a little unclear, and she can stand her doing this that day, which shows that she is a person with deep still water. Now, he is very good at pleasing people, which one is him, which one is unpredictable. But girls usually can't stand the temptation, and the big wedding is just around the corner, so they will be safe and quiet.
"I think this colt is good." Xiao You commented, "Good or bad, I don't see how much ups and downs he has." The master asked him to be punished, he really stood outside the Shunzhen Gate for so long, when I went, my lips were purple from the cold, he was also a golden nobleman, so it can be seen that he has not suffered this kind of crime. ”
Tonghuan had a posture of letting him wind from the southeast and northwest, "Regardless of whether that vassal king is a three-headed and six-armed figure or not, as long as he is good to His Highness, he can still be discussed." ”
The wedding process of the Ministry of Rites was decided, the princess descended and walked by water, twenty lucky ships dressed in red and colored as the main ship, and eighty sentinel ships guarded the front and rear, and ten miles of red makeup was simply not enough compared to this. As for the concubine, there is no reason to marry in Beijing, and he needs to return to the fief to take over the eldest princess, so the status of the vassal king can be seen from this incident.
The wedding date is getting closer and closer, and there is basically no requirement for Wanwan, except for the housekeeper who will follow her to teach her some things between the bed, how she was, and how she is now.
That day, the emperor sent someone to pass on her to discuss the matter of the Nanjing Princess's Mansion, because most of the princesses did not enter the Princess's Mansion, which also showed that the monarchs and ministers were different. Wanwan means that there is no need to bother, the expenses can be reduced and reduced, the emperor is a person who wants to save face, so it is necessary for her to refuse in person to work.
The emperors of the past dynasties have dreamed of becoming immortals, and now the Meiji Emperor has put all his hopes into reality and followed a Taoist priest who came from nowhere to start cultivating. Xihaizi's garden has become his dojo, and he no longer lives in the Forbidden City, so he moved there to alchemy all day long, making a miasma. Wanwan obeyed the order of the face saint, and also had to go over the embankment, and when she arrived at the Taisu Temple, she said that he was meditating with Lu Dongbin in Beichizi, and she had to stay and wait for him.
The decoration here is very different from the palace, there are no carved beams and paintings, there are no exquisite furnishings, and the tent curtain is also plain and clean, and it has the appearance of a fairy style. It is said that the emperor wanted to get rid of distracting thoughts, and only one or two eunuchs were left to serve, so when she arrived here, let alone tea and snacks, there was not even a person to ask for peace. She turned around, but she didn't see the chair, and a heavy seat was set up against the wall, but fortunately, there was a fire dragon on the ground, and His Majesty the Emperor would not treat himself badly when he returned to the basics.
Wanwan walked over, sat down cross-legged on the mat, and smiled as soon as she sat down, which was actually quite interesting.
Turning his head to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, they were all written by the emperor himself, and Wanwan also knew some poetry, so she carefully considered it. Just as he was in his trance, he suddenly heard someone hissing and inhaling behind the landscape screen, and another voice sounded, "The master has woken up, and his waist is sore again?" ”
Wanwan knew who it was when she heard it, and she couldn't help frowning. When he was about to get up and go out, Yin Ge asked, "The prince has gone back to the south today?" ”
The people below should be, "The big wedding is just around the corner, and if you don't go back to prepare, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Yin Ge snorted, dragging his long voice, and he could feel the chill in her words from afar, "Now he can be regarded as satisfied, I have lived so big, I have never seen such a calculating master." Don't say that I'm the one who gave birth to him, and I don't necessarily have any higher than me. Take me for the eldest princess, it's really a million profits, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is pitiful, and she fell into his abacus, what about me, I followed the emperor. Now I have a small one in my belly, and I can't look down on the position of the concubine in Yinlou in the future, my son, and I want to be the prince......"
