Chapter 208: Mary Sufanwai [1]
"Lord, the emperor and queen are getting married today, it's time for you to go, the prime minister is waiting for you at the door."
When Wang Yinggui came to pass the word, Nan Yike was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and looked at the man in the mirror in a daze.
It's only been three years, but he feels that he has changed from a young boy to such a mature and stable man. In the past, he was the chic and windy/flowing prince in everyone's mouth, but now no one has ever said that he has a confidante.
Everyone only said that it was difficult for the prince and Prime Minister Zuo to know themselves, and Meng was not out of focus, even among the people, there were many rumors that the two of them were broken sleeves.
Three years have passed, and so much has changed.
For example, he thought that he would marry a princess as smart and beautiful as Mengya in the future, and he would treat her as well as Mengya. This is not something he hasn't tried after the death of Meng Ya, he wandered around, there were all kinds of famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River, there were also pure and shy lotus picking girls, and there were gentle and graceful little family girls, many of whom had more beautiful appearances, and some had more prominent temperaments, and even some were extremely similar to her.
It's just that no matter how good these people are, it's not her.
No one will compete with him like her, no one will not care about his identity and drink with him, no one will laugh at his handwriting, write poems after drinking to mock him, no one will laugh like the rising morning sun like her, and lower her eyebrows like the moonlight in the night sky.
She left a heavy mark in his life and left a graceful figure in his youth.
He had loved her like an ordinary man and woman, but he stopped because of brotherly affection. Now, she is no longer a happy girl in his heart, but an eternal confidant.
On the way from the bedroom to the door of the palace, all the subordinates knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, only his own footsteps were silent.
I don't know when he started, he is no longer the second prince who laughs endlessly.
"Ke." The man in a moon-white robe standing at the door smiled slightly when he saw him, and there was a faint warmth in his bright eyes.
Murong Ling, who was sharp at the beginning, has also been transformed by time into the appearance that is as gentle as jade now.
When the carriage started, the wide and comfortable interior did not feel the slightest bump.
He leaned on the woolen blanket, looked at Murong Ling, who was also self-effacing even when pouring tea, and hooked his lips: "The emperor's wedding, you and I are dressed like this." They did not take counsel, but on this day of national rejuvenation, they wore light-colored robes, as if they were not going to the wedding feast.
Murong Ling looked at him, his handsome face was no longer as sharp as before, and some were just gentle: "You are not happy, why do you have to force it?" ”
He laughed out loud when he heard this, but there was no smile in his eyes: "How can I not be happy, my brother is married, I am naturally happy." ”
He never thought that the three brothers who used to help each other would have such an indifferent day.
When they came back from the Demon Sect three years ago, Xia Taishi fell seriously ill because of the sudden death of his beloved daughter, and it almost passed. The father and the emperor were undressed to take care of him before the collapse, and even directly appointed the prince to supervise the country, and only needed to hand over the matter and decide by the prince.
At that time, all the outside was the praise of the father's favorite ministers, and no emperor had ever done this for his ministers since ancient times. But when he accidentally bumped into his father, who had always been tough, he hugged Xia Taishi and begged him to wake up, and he realized that there was such a relationship between them.
After Xia Taishi woke up, he had a high fever and quickly lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he had no bones on weekdays.
However, in January, his father suddenly announced his abdication one morning and ordered the crown prince to succeed him.
Later, the holy decree was promulgated, and Xia Taishi made an exception to be named a first-class duke and earl due to physical discomfort, and he was hereditarily replaced. His daughter has the demeanor of a father, and her daughter is a model of the Manchu Dynasty, making an exception and being named the county lord, and the title is remembered.
The crown prince succeeded to the throne and named one of his two younger brothers as the prince of the town and the other as the prince.
But on the second day, Lao Jiu asked for an order to guard the frontier, saying that the foreign enemy had not been cleared and he did not dare to start a family.
The emperor played it and named him a first-class general, called Zhenguo.
In the past three years, he didn't know how much pressure the imperial brother was under and did not fill the six palaces, and there were only a few nobles in the huge palace.
But he still felt sad, this was such a pleasant person for Mengya, and even suffered so many grievances for him.
Now, he still has to marry someone else.
"See the prince, see Prime Minister Zuo." When the carriage drove into the west gate, the eunuch who was there came up to greet him, "The emperor is waiting for the prince in the Julong Palace." ”
He patted the hem of his clothes slightly, and when he saw Murong Ling nodding, he asked lightly, "What about the eldest lady of the Su family?" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly bent down again, very respectfully: "Niangniang is waiting for the auspicious time in the Fengluan Palace." "I was very surprised in my heart, the prince was really bold, everyone knew that the eldest lady of the Su family was going to become the mother of the country today, and he still called her the eldest lady of the Su family? The other officials didn't squeeze their heads and wanted to get close to the Su family, and only the prince had this proud capital!
"Hmph, lead the way." He couldn't say whether he was satisfied or not, but the imperial brother didn't specifically let him go to see this "imperial sister-in-law", and he was still more comfortable.
After going around for a long time, when he entered the Julong Palace, he looked at the peach blossoms in the courtyard and was stunned: "Why are there so many peach blossom trees?" "The pink petals in the sky are falling like raindrops.
The little eunuch who led the way replied in a low voice: "Three years ago, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he ordered that peach blossoms be planted here, but you rarely come to the palace, so you didn't find out." ”
He looked at the beautiful peach blossoms, but he felt funny, because he had lost people, so he used her favorite peach blossoms in her life to commemorate her?
"Long live the Lord, the prince has arrived."
"Hmm."
After the little eunuch pushed the door open, he slowly walked in.
The huge palace was very empty, and there was not even the luxury of an emperor's residence.
He saw Nan Qi sitting on the dragon chair in a bright yellow/colored dragon robe, which looked extremely lonely in such a wide palace.
In three years, he has changed.
There is no mildness in the past, only the majesty of the emperor.
"Little two." Nan Qi opened his mouth to call him, his tone was so helpless and sad, "Can't you forgive me?" "In front of him, the eldest brother has never called himself me.
He looked at such an even helpless emperor, hooked his lips slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The emperor's wedding, the courtiers are very happy." ”
Even if he knew that he had too much helplessness, he couldn't deal with it calmly, after all...... He is the person Meng Ya loves the most.
"It's been three years, Lao Jiu is like this, and so are you." Nan Qi looked at this man who was no longer the same as the second brother in his impression, with an indescribable sentimentality in his heart, "I regret it all the time, but I have no chance to regret it." I'm sorry for her, but ...... I will remember her for the rest of my life. "It's been three years, hasn't he, he's never forgotten it.
The peach blossoms in the courtyard are his nostalgia.
"Remember her?" Nan Yike didn't know that she also had such a sarcastic time for her eldest brother, "Does she need you to remember her?" Do you remember to plant a few trees, get married, and have children? "How can someone who is so proud of Meng Ya be rare?
"And what do you want me to do?" It was the first time for Nan Qi to be so helpless, and even with a madness that he had never felt before, he knocked the teacup on the table next to him to the ground, "What should I do?" What can I do? If I could turn back time, wouldn't I want to save her? "If he had to go back in time, he would have grabbed her when they first met! However, time is never turned back.
"Yes." He calmly looked at such an out-of-control imperial brother, a mocking smile appeared on his face, "I only ask you, if you marry a cute girl, will you ever touch another woman?" ”
Faced with Nan Yike's straightforward eyes, Nan Qi wanted to deny it directly and said no, but he couldn't say it, because he couldn't do it.
He is the emperor, and the emperor has too many responsibilities on his back, and he can't do what he wants to do so willfully.
He could have pampered only one woman all the time, but then she would have too much infamy back.
Disaster in disguise.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer any grievances.
Nan Yike looked at the speechless Nan Qi, the smile on the corner of his mouth was lowered, and it was the first time he looked at him indifferently like this, his brother, who had always been regarded as a model when he was young: "You don't love her, if you really love her, it won't be a reason to hinder." You're just unwilling to have what you once had, and now you're losing. I should really be glad that if Meng Ya married you, it might not be better than now. ”
Nan Qi looked at him in a daze, and couldn't even refute it.
He didn't believe it! He obviously misses her so much, and she is the one who tosses and turns in his dreams! The spring afternoon, the peach petals in the sky, and the girl who smiles in the city.
He loves her so much!
Nan Yike took a deep breath, took a step back slightly, looked at Nan Qi, who was sitting on the top in a daze, and showed a slightly wry smile: "Brother Huang, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, even if you try your best to make yourself look the same as before, you are no longer the same." Anything can be saved, except time. "Time has made them what they are now, and there is no going back.
In the past, Nanqi would only smile at him gently, would give him what he wanted, and would be as close as a brother of a mother's sibling.
Now that he is pretending to be close, he sits on the dragon chair, and they have an unsurmountable distance.
"Today's royal brother's wedding, the younger brother is here to congratulate." He bent his knees slightly, except for the day he ascended the throne, this was the first time he knelt on him, "The ministers and brothers wish the emperor and the queen to be sonorous, this is the blessing of the country." Brother, retire. ”
Slowly kowtowing, he didn't look at the face of the person above, got up and left.
When he opened the door, the bright spring light outside reflected on his face, and the petals flying in the sky were like a girl's graceful dance.
Just like the pure and beautiful girl in his mind.
Nan Qi looked at the back of the man who fell into the sun and gradually moved away, so powerless for the first time.
He was the only one in the empty hall.
He sat high on the top and looked at the scenery outside the door, and suddenly he thought.
Even if you sit in the highest position and don't have someone you love by your side, it turns out that you are so lonely.
Never lose my love, always the deepest helplessness
