Chapter 17 Death at Every Step of the Way

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations......

The night is hazy, the Horse Mansion, Qingyan Garden. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was December, Chu Siyan didn't feel the slightest coolness for some reason, looking at the sky outside the window. The personal maid who was waiting with her was already napping at the table, thinking that she couldn't bear the hard work of staying up late for several days in a row. Getting up and putting on a coat for Yahuan, she hooked her lips with a gloomy expression, thinking that he was not coming back again, which is why she was so uneasy in her heart. I don't know when she Chu Siyan will become like a resentful girl.

His eyes fell on the bronze mirror in front of him, and his expression suddenly felt a little compassionate. She knew that her fate was not worth the fate of the country, but she still couldn't help but have some residual thoughts in her heart. Facing the bronze mirror, she carefully examined herself in the mirror again: a beautiful and beautiful face that was as beautiful as fat was refracted in the bronze mirror. I only saw the delicate eyebrows, the wind bun and misty sideburns, the red lips and teeth, the emerald moth eyebrows, the woman's face was delicate and gorgeous, the beautiful eyebrows and Lianjuan revealed a trace of innate nobility, and the lip color was a little cherry, like a blooming iris, exuding a dazzling charm. No matter how you look at it, she is a beauty that is unparalleled in the world.

Everything is the fault of this face, if there is no Allure Looks, who will control themselves again. She held the sharp scissors in one hand, and she gestured to slash it across her face. "Princess, don't......" Xiaoya knows that you are bitter in your heart, but why should you embarrass yourself? While the little girl was nervous and worried, the soft owner's face suddenly softened, put down the scissors, and chuckled in the mirror with a strange expression.

Chu Siyan looked at herself in the mirror, hung her hand in vain, and the scissors slipped on the dresser. She knew she couldn't, and if she went with this knife, the consequences would be severe. It will not be her who will lose everything, but also the unrest of her family and country. It's just that if Siyan can be the idle cloud and wild crane, even if it is half a day, she will be free to pay for it, and someone can stay with her, and someone can accompany her. Chu Siyan closed her eyes and a trace of tears slipped under her eyes, "I have no regrets in this life." ”

"Princess, don't scare the slave maid...", the little girl on the side said with sobs.

"Silly girl, no," she said after a long time, her eyes full of incomprehensible profundity.

"Princess, if you have anything on your mind, just tell the slave maid that you don't have to take it to heart." Xiaoya is a smart and clever girl, about the same age as Chu Siyan, she knows a little about people's hearts, and has been by her side since she was ten years old. Even so, Xiaoya didn't understand Chu Siyan's mind at the moment. All along, the princess she served was well known in the imperial dynasty and never embarrassed.

"Don't be a princess slave, there's no one else around, don't be so restrained. Accompany me to Mingyue Temple tomorrow, I want to ask for a visa! ”

"Oh, good." Xiaoya wondered in her heart, the princess never believed in fate, why today? Anyway, the princess is so profound today, she can't think of a reason even if she wants to break her head, alas, she only blames herself for being too stupid!

So the master and servant fell silent again.

Chu Siyan looked at the candles in the room and didn't know that it was more than halfway through, so she felt that she had forgotten the time, and hurriedly ordered the little girl on the side to bring "Luqi" and sent her to rest.

In the distance, Xiao Jingrong, who had just walked into the door, heard a gentle and poignant sound of the piano, Xiao Jingrong listened to the song intently, and suddenly felt sour in his heart, it turned out that this song was composed by a famous musician in Dachu "Acacia Fu", which expressed the sadness of the people who were reading about each other.

Suddenly, he remembered Mu Elegy, after a year of farewell, the beauty is difficult to share, everything has gradually drifted away unconsciously, but he just doesn't want to say goodbye in his heart. I was bored for a while, and then looked at Chu Siyan, they were all fallen people on the same road. Before getting married, he vaguely knew about the secret history of the palace a year and a half ago, the third princess and Yin Chunnian, the former martial champion, were good friends, and outsiders also regarded this as a matter of envy of everyone. However, after Emperor Chu learned about the two of them, he was furious, not only depriving Yin Chunian of his official position, but also sending him to the frontier.

For this reason, Empress Chu and Emperor Chu had a big quarrel, and the third princess, who was originally favored by Emperor Chu, was suddenly left out in the cold. In this matter, although Xiao Jingrong was strange, he soon understood.

The emperor's house is already blessed. Family affairs have been the order of parents since ancient times, and Chu Siyan befriended a martial champion who had no foundation, which was useless and violated the interests of Emperor Chu. No matter how much she is pampered in the royal family, whenever she comes into contact with interests, the consequences can be imagined. That day, when he married the third princess, the complexity in Emperor Chu's eyes when he looked at the third princess was mixed with a trace of sadness, but it was also a flash and was quickly suppressed.

Now mentioning these old things, Xiao Jingrong shook his head a little sadly for a while.

"Pony, you're back." I don't know when Chu Siyan's piano sound has stopped and came to his eyes. "Well, the princess is so late and has this leisure, go to bed early." Looking at him indifferently without a trace, Chu Siyan's heart was speechless for a moment. It's been a long time, I haven't seen him smile at himself since the wedding, let alone talk about anything else. Gently close the door. The room was dim, the candle flame flickered, and in silence the room was only the sound of two people breathing softly.

After the two of them lay on the bed, Xiao Jingrong's heart was extremely unstable, his brows were furrowed, and he was full of worries.

Looking at the quiet and elegant woman in front of him a little complicated, he remembered the scene of Fang Cai, and muttered for a while, "Princess, why did you choose to marry me?" Xiao Jingrong asked casually.

Hearing this, Chu Siyan's heart suddenly jumped, and she was a little shocked why Xiao Jingrong asked like this.

Why did you marry him? Is it for the sake of not disobeying his father, or for the interests of his family and country? Or is it for revenge...... She didn't seem to have any reason to do that.

Chu Siyan didn't know how to answer, so she was silent. Xiao Jingrong saw that she was silent, and regarded it as her acquiescence. Xiao Jingrong suddenly felt a little sad for her. "Princess, don't worry, I know that you and Yin Chunian are good friends, if there is a chance, the two of you will be able to tell good stories together." Chu Siyan was caught off guard by Xiao Jingrong's words, but she still didn't say anything, but she had doubts and sorrows in her heart, and she was also full of complexities.

Oh? Do you think she is a commodity, her father can, but why can he be the master? My heart was suddenly full of resentment, but as soon as the words came out, it changed again, "Do you think Siyan is not clean?" If it weren't for that, Siyan would be confused, and I don't know how the two of us could tell a good story together? ”

"Princess, you and I are husband and wife in front of each other, and we don't have to act anymore."

Huh, so that's the case? Xiao Jingrong's words today are nothing more than trying to draw a line with himself, but how can she let him get his wish. "Donkey, how should you repay the youth you owe Siyan?"

I...... Princess, you know, why should you and I deceive ourselves?

Chu Siyan suddenly felt that although they were in the same room and living in the same bed, the distance between their hearts at this time was so far away and so strange.

Chu Siyan understood what he meant, did she annoy people like this? Come to think of it, she should be lonely all her life...... But for some reason, I was extremely aggrieved in my heart. Xiao Jingrong saw through the candlelight that Chu Siyan's back was trembling slightly, although he turned his back to him, he could imagine that she must be sad now.

Xiao Jingrong's heart was full of bitterness and guilt, and he regretted that his words were so hurtful. He stretched out his arms and clasped her tightly in his arms, repeating in her ear over and over again, "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dislike you......"

Chu Siyan forcibly suppressed the thick pain in her heart, and said in a tone that was almost resentful, "Hehe, the colt doesn't have to use good words to me, if Siyan doesn't have this self-knowledge, it will be in vain."

For some reason, Chu Siyan, who has always been dull and unwilling to vent her emotions, will vent her thoughts that have been buried for a year, maybe she has been lonely for too long. Perhaps it was Xiao Jingrong's words that aroused Chu Siyan's inner resentment. She knew in her heart that when Taishi Xiao asked her father for marriage that day, she was already destined for the path she was going to take. She is the only daughter of her father, and it is not that she is not sad that her father has lost her, but that there is no other way. Before getting married, her father showed her a painting, but this painting had nothing to do with happiness, but the miserable appearance of the displaced people on both sides of the Chudu.

He didn't say anything, but she understood everything.

She is Chu Siyan, the princess of Chu State. is often doomed. Even if my father likes her again, compared with the interests of the country, his love for me can only be as light as a feather, at most he will tearfully send me a ten-mile red makeup to marry.

As for Xiao Jingrong, my nominal husband, Brother Mu Yu had already said about him before. If a man knows that he has another woman in his heart, and insists on marrying her in this situation, either he is sick or he has other plans.

Obviously, the latter is more convincing than the former.

However, she loved her father, mother, brothers. It is precisely because I don't want my father to feel sad that I don't regret the decision I made. Now that the wood has been completed, she chooses to accept it calmly, and hopes that the ending will not be disappointed.

"Horse, let's make an agreement, three years. No matter what you and I have hidden in our hearts, no matter how many secrets you and I have carried, the moment you and I confess, don't think about anything anymore, just live for yourself, this is the promise between me and you, never change" Chu Siyan's soft words were full of firmness and determination.

After Xiao Jingrong heard this, his face was already moved. He sincerely hoped that Chu Qingyan would be able to strengthen his beliefs when he knew the truth.

"Princess, do you think that makes sense?"

"Of course, if Siyan wants a stable life, you should give it to me if you are my concubine. The mountains and rivers disappear, the sun and the moon are dim, I want you to know that I Chu Siyan is not what you think, on the contrary, the person engraved in my heart has not been Yin Chunian from beginning to end. ”

"If one day I leave suddenly, what will you do?"

"I, Chu Siyan, asked myself if I didn't lose to others, you will leave, it must be me who is not good enough. But for you, there is no one as good as me in the world. You're going to leave, how can I let you go? "You and I are destined to be unable to get out of this path.

"Don't shirk it, okay?"

The warm words softened Xiao Jingrong's heart. Looking at the woman in front of him, he could only say, "Okay." ”

He...... There are too many things in his heart, maybe when he opens the knot in his heart, and at that time, just ask him not to hate himself and not to blame him. Xiao Jingrong looked at Chu Siyan's lonely look, and a trace of distress suddenly slipped through his heart, and he wanted to tell her all the truth, but he still suppressed this impulse.

The wind and snow beat the window, and the candle flame jumped. The two of them, each with their own thoughts, slowly fell asleep.
