Chapter Seventy-Four: Snow Memories (1)
"Your Highness can't be wrong!"
It's just that Zhuang Lijue said this, and Duan Jinrui's cold expression was filled with a touch of helplessness.
Since he understood his thoughts about Liu Moyan, the man who has always regarded Zhuang Lijue's closeness to him as a friendship has understood a lot.
"What are your plans?"
Facing the stubborn man in front of him, he was speechless, something happened, not as if it didn't happen.
Zhuang Lijue was hurt, but the more innocent person is Rong Xian, the relationship between him and his brothers has never been very good, although he is a son-in-law, but his mother's family is not strong, his mother died early, but he was loved by the emperor, and he was crowned the crown prince early, and the brothers set the difference between the monarch and the minister, how could those princes be willing?
Especially the brother who claims to be no worse than him, even if he never meets him, there is a bit of a taste of life and death in secret. 's mother died early, his father already had nothing in his heart, and in the court, there were only a few princesses who could find some family affection, especially Princess Rongxian, who was the most cowardly and docile, and Duan Jinrui felt a little pity for her.
Therefore, even if he knew that he shouldn't speak, at least not by him to say this question, Duan Jinrui still didn't fake his hands, after all, this is his relatives and friends who have been with him for so long, whether it is Zhuang Lijue or Rong Xian, in the end, in Duan Jinrui's heart, there are some different feelings, some softness.
"Tell Hongu the truth!"
Zhuang Lijue's silence was right, and Duan Jinrui was silent.
He didn't want outsiders to interfere in this matter, so he himself opened up the matter and pierced the thin veil between the windows.
"Hongu respects your choice......"
Last night's confusion, on the surface, Zhuang Lijue ruined Princess Rongxian's innocence, but in fact, it was his reason that made the two of them make this calculation, and it was also when he didn't control his emotions for a while last night, when he was so busy, in order to face Liu Moyan when he didn't know what to explain or what to explain, he was just worried about him, so he went out regardless of it, so that people could take advantage of it.
None of them were wrong, he needed to make up for something, so he could feel better.
He wanted Zhuang Lijue to marry Rong Xian, but the hearts of the two people were not in each other's bodies, they were reluctant to be together, and they were not happy, if Zhuang Lijue was unwilling, Duan Jinrui thought that as long as the operation was done properly, he would help Rong Xian find a good home, it was a big deal for a woman to lose her innocence, but there were many secret ways for people in the royal family to hide from the world. Even if there are some mistakes, finding a way to marry Rong Xian in the capital and not let her go to the bitter cold place outside the city should be regarded as compensating for his sister.
"How does Your Highness want your subordinates to choose?"
Zhuang Lijue lowered his head, his face could not be seen clearly, hiding his true emotions.
When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic!
"You have also reached the age of marrying, Mr. Zhuang has been looking forward to being able to tease his grandson, you are the only son of the Zhuang family, don't let your parents down......"
As long as Duan Jinrui really decides, then, he will never drag his feet, he saw Zhuang Lijue's pale face as his words grew, and the bitterness on his face, but the more so, the more he can't be soft-hearted, Zhuang Lijue can choose not to marry Rong Xian, but he should take the initiative to form a family, what he wants, he can't afford it, in this case, why drag it out day after day, year after year?
"What does Your Highness mean...... Subordinates understood! ”
The voice was hoarse and dry, like the friction of coarse sandpaper, with a strand of shattering.
"If the princess agrees, her subordinates are willing to ask the emperor to marry!"
Raising his head, the smile on Zhuang Lijue's face was gentle and soft, the feeling of being completely opposite to his voice.
"No regrets?"
Duan Jinrui asked.
"No regrets!"
Zhuang Lijue said firmly, he knew that he had no other way to choose, and what persecuted him was not the conscience of being responsible for a woman, that thing was just an embellishment for the children who grew up with the education of the official eunuchs of the family.
It wasn't the man in front of him who persecuted him, he knew that the other party gave him the right to choose, which had already moved Zhuang Lijue's heart, and what really made him compromise was himself.
If Rong Xian was just a nominal sister in Duan Jinrui's heart, without the slightest emotion, he wouldn't have to take things to heart at all, but he knew most of Duan Jinrui's life, and he knew every emotional fluctuation of men, and he couldn't retreat.
He was unwilling to let Duan Jinrui disappoint him again.
"This matter, this palace will make the people behind the scenes pay the price!"
Duan Jinrui could only give such a promise, and the man's eyes flashed with vigour.
"Your Highness, the emperor has ......"
Hu Heng sent the little inner supervisor who reported the news away, bowed to Duan Jinrui's side, and whispered. Many things are said to be secret games, you know and I know, in fact, in this court, where can you hide from the emperor?
Duan Jinrui didn't know how much Duan Muheng knew, but since Zhuang Lijue had made a decision, then he knew what to say in front of the emperor.
Duan Jinrui bowed his head to say that he knew, turned around and patted Zhuang Lijue's shoulder, and was about to leave, when a man asked in his ear, as if floating clouds: "My subordinates just want to know that Your Highness went to see ...... last night Is he? ”
That other word is so difficult to speak, and in the bottom of his heart, a churning and hideous poisonous snake keeps lifting Lang flowers, making him unable to be at peace.
Duan Jinrui didn't stop, but he shook his head invisibly, his black hair flew in the wind, and Zhuang Lijue's eyes were slowly a little blurry.
He should be dead, that is, Duan Jinrui agreed to marry a wife, that is, Duan Jinrui only wants a complete home, not falling in love with that woman, the person he thinks of, the person he falls in love with, is not his Zhuang Lijue, but Liu Moyan, those careful thoughts, small actions, now that I think about it, isn't it ridiculous?
No matter how Zhuang Lijue jumped up and down, how he thought about the man he had looked up to for a long time, and laughed at the man who promised to marry Liu Moyan was not so attentive to Liu Moyan, the fact had already slapped him heavily in the heart.
When he looked back, the person Duan Jinrui saw would never be him.
"That's fine!"
laughed lowly, it's almost like crying, that's fine, he doesn't have to worry about how the other party will treat him if he lets Duan Jinrui know his mind in the future, and whether he will even lose the qualification to follow, now, marrying Rong Xian, with Duan Jinrui's slight softness towards Rong Xian, the two of them can be regarded as having a more stable in-law relationship.
It's not counting, it's a complete loss.
- When the sun came out completely, Duan Muheng woke up.
Zhao Suo suggested in a low voice: "The emperor won't sleep for a while?" "Fortunately, the emperor sympathized with the busy ministers during this time, and took advantage of the successful conclusion of his birthday to rest for a day, and he was able to rest today.
Duan Muheng's eyes were cyan, he could see it clearly.
took the wet wipes soaked in warm water in Zhao Suo's hand, refused the other party's service, patted the position of his eyes and temples, and finally sobered up: "Where can I rest assured!" How many things are pointed to me to solve, and if you want to sleep peacefully, it's difficult! ”
After his birthday, he chatted for a long time with a few close ministers, and was awakened by the disappearance of Princess Rongxian in the middle of the night.
"Hehe, aren't there many princes and adults around the emperor to share their worries? Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is going to marry and start a family today, what else does the emperor have to worry about! ”
Carefully glancing at Duan Muheng's complexion, Zhao Suo brought a bowl of clear and moist soup from the palace maid's hand, tested the temperature, and put it on the table.
After serving the emperor for so many years, Zhao Suo naturally knew who the current emperor valued most in his heart. Seeing that Duan Muheng seemed to be in a bad mood, he tentatively lifted out Duan Jinrui.
"Reassured? The prince broke my heart, and it's almost the same! ”
Sneered, Duan Muheng's reaction was to put the soup bowl that had not yet been eaten halfway up on the table, and a few drops burst out, because of this sudden imperial anger, the palace people who were waiting did not dare to step forward and wipe the table case immediately, and secretly looked at the chief manager Zhao Suo.
"The emperor is angry......"
Accompanying the king like a tiger, Zhao Suo knelt on the ground, and his mind spun around quickly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a serious person and does things thoroughly, if there is anything that angers the emperor, it must not be intentional!" ”
Zhao Suo is gambling, betting that the emperor's natural jealousy of the prince is better than the master he serves, and the connivance of a son who has high hopes or gives all his feelings.
Duan Muheng didn't let Zhao Suo get up, but he gradually suppressed his anger: "That's it, let's all step back, if the prince comes over, let that son calm down outside the Thousand Yuan Hall first!" ”
Zhao Suo got up and retreated towards the outside of the hall, he didn't need the emperor's orders, he would warn these cubs under him later, keep their mouths shut, otherwise, he wouldn't mind making them unable to speak again.
In the middle of December, the plum blossoms have bloomed, the cold and damp cold wind is whistling around, and occasionally there are naughty ones going deep into the gaps between the robes, Duan Jinrui's complexion is even more cold and cold, but his whole person is standing more straight and firm, like an aspen between the cliffs that does not want to bend over.
Zhao Suo brought him a small hand stove to warm his hands, Duan Jinrui didn't ask for it, he was being punished, if blowing the wind here can make the emperor not pursue certain things, he doesn't mind standing for a long time, it's better than being punished to kneel here.
Thoughts drifting away, the winter frost is cold, the goose feather-like snowflakes are flying, sprinkled with crystals on the ground, a child in an apricot yellow python robe, kneeling straight in the snow, looking at the melting warmth of the Qianyuan Hall from afar.
