Chapter 1: Marriage
The roar of thunder was accompanied by gusts of wind, and from time to time lightning flashed in the sky, completely breaking the quiet night. All the qiē is a sign that a pouring rain is coming.
The large study room is divided in two by a Qingluo screen.
On the left, a simple red sandalwood desk, with several ink paintings hanging on the wall, shows the owner's fresh and elegant style. On the right, a soft couch was placed near the window, and on the couch, a stunning girl was half-leaning, looking lazily through the medical book in her hand, all of which were not affected by the lightning and thunder outside the door.
The woman looked at the scene of only seventeen or eighteen years old, but there was a calm and casual look in her eyes beyond this age, just looking at it like this, she could be attracted by her full of beauty. And she is the head of the first family of the Ink Dynasty today, and she is also the granddaughter of Qing Luo, the head of the Huichun Hall.
As if he saw a little doubt, Qing Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was about to dig deeper, but was interrupted by a sudden and eager voice outside the door.
"Miss, Miss......" The voice of the shout was bright and crisp, causing Qing Li to raise his eyes from the book and shake his head helplessly.
Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, who else would there be besides the frizzy girl in Lanxi!
Smiling lightly, she sat up, and poured two cups of tea. The dark brown tea poured into the white jade cup, just reaching the full point of seven minutes, and the water surface was faintly rippled in a few circles.
The slender fingers gently raised the jade cup, and it was at this time that the owner of the voice had already arrived in front of Qing Li and gasped.
looked at Lan Xi funny, only to see a faint flush on her fair little face at this time, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Qing Li calmly raised the cup in front of her, and intimately angrily pouted, "Oh, drink it first, don't worry." ”
Lan Xi nodded, grabbed the cup and drank it all, but it seemed that he was a little unsatisfied, and then complained quite dissatisfied: "Miss, this cup is too small!" "It's not enough for her to moisten her throat!
This girl also drank the cow...... Qing Li smiled dumbly, looked at the empty white jade cup and twitched the corners of his lips weakly. It was a high-grade Pu'er that had been stored for a hundred years, but it was a waste for her......
Glancing at her angrily, Qing Li picked up a cup of tea in front of him and tasted it carefully, "Okay, let's talk about something." ”
As soon as Lan Xi heard this, he was excited, and immediately stomped his feet and said angrily: "Miss, I heard that the emperor has issued a holy decree to let you marry the prince of Chennan in three months!" Her voice was so high that it made people feel sour when they listened to it.
Qing Li rubbed her ears, her expression unchanged, as if what she said had nothing to do with her. Raising her eyes to look at the anxious figure, she nodded, "I know, the Holy Decree has come down. She pointed to the bright yellow cloth on the desk and said lightly.
During the day, my father-in-law came to read the holy decree, and this girl is only making trouble now? Hehe, I guess where to play again!
With a doting smile in her eyes, she continued to take a sip of the rich and fragrant Pu'er, savoring it between her mouths.
Lan Xi glared, hurriedly ran over to take a look, and sure enough, it was a holy decree covered with a jade seal, this little face was bitter, and he pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did the emperor say that the decree was decreed?" Don't you just ask the hall master? She was so angry that she stomped her feet, and when she looked back at Qing Li sitting calmly drinking tea, she felt incredible, "Miss! How do you react to this? ”
"Oh? So how should I react? Qing Li tilted his head and squinted at her, with a hint of interest in his eyes, but he was curious about what she was going to say next.
"You see that the emperor doesn't ask your wishes to marry at will, you should at least be angry, right?" Lan Xi's eyes widened and she looked at her in disbelief. Three months will pass soon, and your eyebrows are all burning, and you are still so calm?
Qing Li got up, pressed her turnaround body, and asked her to sit down obediently, and then said with a smile: "First, the emperor never needs to ask whose wishes he wants to marry, we can only listen to the will." Second, grandpa is not unaware, I knew about this family business half a year ago. ”
"Half a year ago!" Lan Xi was surprised. It turns out that the young lady has been mentally prepared for a long time, no wonder she is calm now.
Qing Li nodded, straightened up and stretched his muscles, his face was pleasant, but a fine light flashed in his eyes.
Their family has been a doctor for generations, and the Rejuvenation Hall is all over the major cities and towns of ink painting, and even in Haoyue and Xichuan, how can the saint not be afraid of such a huge family business? Marriage is a matter of time! It's just that she didn't expect that the emperor couldn't wait so soon......
Smiling a little sarcastically, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows. To be honest, if she could, the big dyeing workshop in the palace, she really didn't want to get involved with half of it, but she couldn't help it now, she saw the move......
"Miss......" The soft voice rang in her ears, Qing Li looked back, but saw her crying and sad face, very sad.
Throwing away an inquiring look, Lan Xi said faintly: "The emperor has many heirs, and there are many people who have never married a wife, why did they point you to the prince......
How uncomfortable is she thinking, the Qing family is the head of the four major families of the Ink Dynasty, and the young lady is the only concubine, with such an identity, even if it is the position of the crown princess, it is no problem, how can she be condescended to a princess!
Grunting angrily, she was quite dissatisfied. And Qing Li was eyes flashed slightly, pursed his lips and was silent.
Today's ink court seems to be harmonious, but in fact the waves are turbulent, the princes are constantly fighting openly and secretly, if she is in the palace, I am afraid that there will be no peace every day.
This family affair was actually asked for by the grandfather earlier, compared to the palace, the palace is indeed much simpler, and the king of Chennan and the grandfather are close friends, if she enters the palace, the prince will naturally take more care of her......
Looking at Lan Xi's entangled appearance, Qing Li smiled slightly, flicked Lan Xi's forehead, ripped her frowning eyebrows apart, and pretended to be angry: "Who is this resentful woman to show her?" Your young lady is going to get married, and you're not happy! "This girl is innocent, but she can't talk to her about these secret things, lest she bother.
Lan Xi puffed out his cheeks when he listened, rubbed his slightly painful eyebrows, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, I heard that the prince has been on the battlefield for a long time, is known as the god of war, is arrogant and uninhibited, and is not in the capital all the year round, miss, you don't know where to be snubbed when you marry him!" "She's worried about Miss's future!
That's all it would be nice to do! Hearing this, Qing Li didn't hurry to laugh, secretly raised his eyebrows, and was happy in his heart.
And at this time, there was a fine and dense sound of rain outside the house, and the thunder that had sounded for so long could be regarded as rain now.
Walking to the window, listening to the raindrops the size of beans crackling on the window lattice, she actually felt a little trance, and began to mumble to herself: "It's spring now, and it's really rare to have such a heavy rain......
It seems that a long time ago, it was also such a rainy night, she was hit by a speeding car and fell in a pool of blood, and when she woke up, she crossed into the current Qingli.
How long ago was that? It's been so long that I've forgotten it!
Qing Li shook her head self-deprecatingly, when she first came to this strange era, she was also at a loss, but she was still a person who was at ease with what she encountered, and she was also grateful to God for giving her a second life, so for more than ten years, she had followed her grandfather to study medicine, treating diseases and saving people everywhere, and she had a good time.
And now although there are some glitches on the road ahead, it doesn't affect her, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, can she still bully people? It's a big deal, in the end, I ask for a letter of resignation, and the sea is still wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly!
Qing Li smiled at the window lattice, his star-like eyes dyed with brilliance.
