177.Chapter 177
This night seems to be extremely short, so short that it makes people feel sorry for it, and I feel reluctant from the bottom of my heart. Just indulging in the grinding of ears and temples, the starry night sky gradually faded into darkness, and the horizon slowly brightened. After a while, the lamp in the corner finally ran out of grease and suddenly went out. Only a faint light shone through the curtains and curtains, dimly shining on the two of them.
The young man knows what it feels like, and he just wants to ignore everything, and continue to dwell on it—or just snuggle up to each other, do nothing, think about nothing, and spend every day and night like this.
For a time, the last dynasty, official business, Guan test Zhang Bang, enemies, relatives, and many things and people were thrown out of the clouds by them. It was as if there were only the two of them in the world, and only their gazes staring at each other were left. Or, within the veil, a tiny and comfortable world is formed, and nothing but them exists.
"Xuanqi, I still feel like I'm dreaming." Wang Zixian said softly, with a lazy and satisfying voice in his slightly hoarse voice, and just listening to it was enough to make people blush and warm their ears. However, he didn't seem to realize his charm, and the person next to him said in his ear: "If last night was a big dream, then I would rather never wake up...... I will always be able to ...... you."
"Dreams?" Li Hui's voice was also hoarse, with lazy tiredness, and even a little bit of a smile, "It seems that you have had a lot of sweet dreams?" I wonder what I look like in those dreams? And what do you look like? ”
"No matter what it looks like, it is indeed only in dreams that you will take the initiative to kiss me......" The prince laughed and hugged his thin waist tightly, "I thought that after the matter of your lord and Zi's harmony, I took a step forward, and you would take ten steps back." I even thought that maybe I should use something else instead of continuing to push you hard. Unexpectedly, you have completely figured it out...... I was so happy that I could barely react......"
More than joy? It's just ecstasy.
Never in his life had he been so happy as he had been last night—not when he had become a leader, not when he had taken revenge.
Li Hui raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at him: "I just don't want to think of you in the future, I only have regret and guilt in my heart." It is rare to meet a person with fate in this world, and it is even more rare to meet someone with fate and love. Since you and I are happy with each other, since you and I have never been conformists, and since you and I will sooner or later be able to acquire the ability to protect ourselves and protect others, why should we let ourselves be miserable because of some worldly prejudices? ”
Life is short for a few decades, if he can't live comfortably, if he is tightly shackled again, why should he be reborn? Why did he go to great lengths to protect himself? At best, it's just a cage and a walking corpse. Moreover, after changing the fate of his family, could it be that he did not have the confidence to change his fate?
"Since if you don't choose, you will only have the pain of both sides, and you can choose to be close to each other and bear it together, why should I drill the horns again?" In his previous life, he not only longed for family and affection, but also for freedom. This kind of freedom is not only the freedom of where you are, but also the freedom of where you want to go. The body is not at ease, the mind is at ease, and it is still at ease; The body is at ease, and the heart is more at ease, which is the great freedom to do what you want-
Such a happy life is the decades he wants to spend. He used this to inspire Princess Changning back then, but he didn't realize that he also longed for such a life. Since they are all the bloodlines of Emperor Taizong Wen and Empress Wende, why can't he have such a happy life?
Princess Changning was trapped and couldn't realize her long-cherished wish for a while; The prince became a monk and deliberately forgot about the troubles of the three thousand. Life is unpredictable, and who knows what will happen in the next moment? Who knows, the affection that is now at your fingertips will disappear completely in the next moment? Looking ahead will only delay opportunities and waste time.
And between him and him, not even a little time should be wasted.
At a time when everything is dead and extinguished, and reincarnation continues, "here and now", "every moment and every moment" are so precious. It was so precious that he let go of his worries, and just wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to it, and let the thirst in his heart swell like a fire cooking oil, extinguishing all his sanity and completely annihilating both of them.
"Oh, I see." The prince curled the corners of his lips, "But don't worry. Those concerns that have been put aside for the time being are not without a comprehensive solution. With a little time and careful planning, nothing will go wrong. "The Pu Wang family, who is far away in Luoyang, has always been unavoidable, and it is also the family that Li Hui cares about the most. All it takes is to convince them not to object, and the two of them can truly stay together for life. As for the rest of the people and things, they are just small sections.
While speaking, Li Hui was already very sleepy and fell asleep. Wang Zixian also felt a little tired, and was about to close his eyes to take a nap, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the dormitory. He got up quietly and put on his clothes when he came to the outer hall, and happened to meet Mother Zhang Fu who came in with the maids to serve and wash.
At this time, the smell that permeated the hall was slightly abnormal, which was enough to make people can't help but think about it. However, Mother Zhang still didn't change her face and her heart didn't beat, she just looked at Wang Zixian and glanced at the palace inquiringly.
Wang Zixian couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He thought that it would take some words to persuade this reasonable Fu mother to stay calm, but he didn't want her to seem as if she hadn't noticed anything, but she was calm as usual.
The few personal maids were still young and ignorant, but they were very diligent in pushing open the window for ventilation, and took out the incense burner and lit the faint smell of incense cakes.
"The king is busy with official business these days, and it is inevitable that he will be a little tired. Why don't you let him rest for a day longer and give him a day off? Seeing that they were quietly busy, and they also avoided the palace as if they were out of nowhere, Wang Zixian couldn't help but glance at Zhang Fu's mother again, who was a close confidant of Princess Pu Yan, and had always been a smart person. Now that her attitude is so bland, does it indicate that Yan's attitude will most likely not be too intense in the future?
"Today is not a great dynasty, so I think it should be okay." Mother Zhang looked at him without a trace, hiding the complexity and doubts in her eyes, and took the maids down. Before leaving, she ordered someone to change the tea and buttermilk for the palace, and brought some fresh fruits such as cherries in season, in case the two of them needed it from time to time.
After the peace of the dormitory was restored, the prince returned to his bed. Listening to Li Hui's even breathing, he laughed slightly, and soon fell asleep as well.
The two slept together until after noon, when they woke up. Just as they were about to snuggle up and talk lazily, they heard the door of the dormitory squeak open, and the voice of Zhang Fumu came: "King, the palace sent someone to spread the sage's oral message, announcing the king's audience." The people of the palace heard that Wang Langjun was here, and they also went with Wang Langjun. ”
Hearing this, Li Hui suddenly fell asleep, and immediately got up to wash and change clothes: "There is no important case in Dali Temple recently, I don't know why my uncle suddenly remembered to summon me......" My uncle has been very keen to instruct his two nephews recently, and from time to time he will let them report on official business, and constantly ask questions for them to answer. He really couldn't deduce that if it was a sage's whim, he would have come up with some questions to test him.
Wang Zixian was not worried, nor did he feel too surprised. The Guan Examination is posted today, no matter the order, only to discern what kind of official duties the new recruits are good at. However, no matter what the result is, the vast majority of new jinshi still have to start from the school secretary on the ninth grade and move up step by step. Those who are familiar with the Ming Classics, Ming Law and other subjects can't even find a vacancy for the school scrivener, so they can only start their career from the orthography under the Zhengjiu Pin—and even fall to the middle and inferior counties as county lieutenants.
If a saint wants to use him, he will inevitably ask what kind of job he wants. Of course, he had already planned for himself, and he would definitely not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor.
They didn't dare to let the saint wait for a long time, so they only hurriedly used some soup, and followed the envoy from the palace to the Taiji Palace to meet him. The palace people did not mention that they should be seen one after another, but led both of them into the Liangyi Hall as a matter of course. Only then did Li Hui realize that Li Jing was already sitting in front of the throne, looking a little depressed. Not only him, but even Yan Zhan was also sitting in danger, and there were also the eldest prince King Qi and the second prince King Shu next to him.
"Xuan Qi, although I also want to give you a day off, it's a pity that the timing is not good today." The sage smiled and asked the two of them to sit beside Li Jing, "It's about Yue Niang's marriage, and you, as a brother, naturally have to follow in detail." ”
Li Hui was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be because of Princess Changning's marriage. The one who summoned the prince with him, and did not shy away from him, used him as a future cronie? Or is there something else you want to arrange for him? It stands to reason that the princess's wedding was not organized by Zongzheng Temple and the princess's family order?
The sage stroked his short mustache and said with a smile: "The Chengguo Mansion has set a date, and it will start to celebrate the Nacai, Wenming and Najib gifts at the beginning of September. The levy is held until November or December, and then an auspicious day is chosen. As for the welcome, I want to set it for next year. After all, Yue Niang is still young, and both I and Zitong want to keep her a little older. If it weren't for Yan Dalang's begging for so long, I would at least have left her until after Jilu. ”
Li Hui's heart was a little heavy: even if it is set at the end of next year, Yue Niang is only fifteen years old, and she has not officially reached the end. However, the royal family has always had the custom of marrying early, and if the grandfather was still alive, it was impossible to say that Yue Niang could marry before the age of thirteen - and the aunts and aunts also fell to the horses at that age.
"Now the others are not in a hurry, Yue Niang's Princess Mansion and the courtyard in the Chengguo Mansion need to be repaired." The sage smiled, "Yan Dalang originally volunteered to take on this matter, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but come to ask for help. He seemed to be very satisfied with Yan Zhan's temperament, and his expression was very gentle when he looked at him.
Yan Zhan immediately bowed and continued, "As elder brothers, the two kings have always understood your lord's thoughts. Therefore, a certain dared to ask each other, and the two oversaw the repair of the princess's mansion and the Chengguo mansion. I hope that these two mansions can meet your lord's wishes and make her live comfortably and properly. In addition, the two highnesses, Da Lang and Erlang, can also help with some ideas. ”
"......" Since he had already said so, Li Hui and Li Jing naturally had no reason to refuse, and they both agreed.
The sage said: "As for our new department, I know that you are well-informed, so I will follow Xuanqi and Jing Xing to take a look at the dowry prepared by Zongzheng Temple." Zitong was weak and couldn't look at it as carefully, but she was always uneasy. If I let Xuan Qi and Jing Xing go to investigate, I don't think they might be busy. Moreover, I heard that Zongzheng Temple has purchased a lot of fresh things from all over the world, and it is just right for you. ”
"Wechen obeys." The prince bowed and saluted, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart, how could this errand fall on him.
However, when Li Hui noticed that the sage was vaguely looking at him, he seemed to have a realization: Could it be that the sage knew that Yue Niang's heart belonged, but he mistakenly thought it was Zixian? So he was specially asked to participate in her marriage, so that they would break off their love for each other? Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Let the saint misunderstand like this, I don't know what will happen in the future......
