CHAPTER XX
Chen Huan pestered me and said that she would stay with me for a few days, but I didn't dare to agree casually, so I asked her to ask the queen. Pen · Fun · The www.biquge.info queen agreed, but she was about to get married in less than a month, so she was not allowed to stay longer, and she had to return to the palace after three days, and sent Lu Qi to send a lot of things, since the queen agreed, I had nothing to say, she and Wei Sheng every day or hid in the courtyard or played in the streets and alleys, I thought that she was about to marry the person I hated, and I couldn't help but pity her, so I turned a blind eye to her affairs, just as I didn't know, and let her go happy. As soon as the three days passed, she really packed up and went back to the palace honestly, when I left, I sent her out, seeing her gloomy face, Wei Sheng's eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, but I didn't say much.
After two days, Song Erniang of Tianchengzhai used the excuse of sending me new jewelry, came to visit, I met her in the study, and listened to her, I knew that she was a distant relative of Liu Mao's foreign family, and the two families were very close when Liu Mao's mother was not married, and now Liu Mao and the queen are fighting for power, and their family came out to help Liu Mao do things, and when Xiao Daohong was mentioned, he knew that he was Liu Mao's uncle, because Liu Mao and Chen Xie formed an alliance, so he stayed here to help him with everything, Now because the second prince Chen Pu proposed to withdraw reinforcements, Xiao Daohong has been running around for this matter for the past few days.
I don't know how many soldiers Liu Mao has in his hands, but the more soldiers the better, but it's a pity that South Korea lost that year and Yan Guo hurt the fundamentals, and when the two years were recovering, there were no soldiers to borrow, even if there were enough troops, it was not something that I, a princess who was not in power and didn't manage the government, could deploy it. I couldn't help but sigh at the thought of this.
To tell the truth, even if I was born in the emperor's family, but I am a person who has no interest in power, when I was twelve years old, my father once wanted to teach me to learn to deal with court politics, so that I can be an empress in the future, I thought about it for two whole days and finally refused, my father is also a thinker, and then he focused on cultivating my cousin King Xinzheng, so the throne of the next generation of Korea fell on my cousin. As for me, I am the princess of a country, glory and wealth are destined by God, and my husband is destined not to be an ordinary person, but I have an ordinary daughter heart, I envy the deep love of my father and mother, and yearn for the life of a couple of people from generation to generation, I think if this wish can be realized, my life will be considered complete.
In a blink of an eye, I thought of Liu Mao again, we met at the best age, I couldn't help but like him, in fact, my heart is also contradictory, he only likes me alone now, but when he ascends the throne, will he only like me alone? Will he be as fond of me as my father and queen mother? I can't help but feel anxious when I think of this, but I can't help liking him, and I like him blindly and irrationally for no reason. It's still messy if you don't clean it up!
I handed the reply to Song Erniang, she put it away with a smile, and left, I stayed in the study to practice the words for an hour before calming down the messy mood.
On the eighth day of October, the day Chen Huan got married, I entered the palace early in the morning, watching her sit there like a puppet doll at the mercy of the palace maid, but there was no trace of joy on her face. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Although it is a good day until the evening, the people in the palace have been busy all day, and it took a long time for Chen Huan to clean up, she has already put on her wedding dress and waited for the auspicious time to get on the sedan chair. I sat in the room with her and waited, looking at her looking like she was not giving up, I thought she was worried about the wedding and comforted her a few words, she was stunned for a moment, and then told me that she had not seen Wei Sheng since she left my house that day, and she told me distressedly that Wei Sheng knelt down that day and begged her not to marry, begging her to leave with him, she did not agree, and then Wei Sheng left after coming back. She stared blankly at the big red word on the window and asked me if she had done something wrong. I was also at a loss, so we sat there silently, relatively silent, until twilight came, the sound of firecrackers sounded, Xi Mama and Quanfu walked in, busy helping Chen Huan bring the phoenix crown and cover the turban, and then the prince himself came to send his sister to marry, everything was noisy, I retreated to the corner, and waited until people hugged the bride and left, I slowly walked out of the palace with the jade butterfly silk.
Because Chen Huan got married, the streets of Jicheng lit lanterns for three days, the queen prepared ten miles of red makeup for Liu Huan, when I left the palace, a dowry was still going out from the palace gate, the street was crowded with people watching the excitement, my carriage couldn't move, I saw through the curtain that the car was parked at the door of Baiwei Building, and I was going to eat and wait for less people to go, so I stopped the carriage and entered Baiwei Building.
The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted us, led us up to the second floor, passed by a private room, saw the door of the private room open, a man was sitting there alone against the door, not moving, next to a waiter-like person was talking about something, probably heard footsteps, the man raised his head, just to take a look at me, I saw that it was Wei Sheng, he saw me, stood up and gave a salute, I bowed to him, was about to go, but saw him walk to the door in three or two steps: "Can Your Highness come in and talk?" I hesitated, but I couldn't help but soften my heart when I looked at his visibly thin cheeks and messy hair, nodded and followed him into the private room.
When I sat down, Xiao Er hurriedly brought tea up, Wei Sheng handed over the water card, I ordered two dishes at random, Wei Sheng added a few more dishes, and told the kitchen to do it. After a while, the dishes were served, Wei Sheng ordered a pot of osmanthus nectar for me, and he ordered a pot of Yiyang burning knives, Xiao Er quickly brought the wine up, and the two of us sat there to drink, and after a few cups, he asked in a trembling voice: "She...... Today...... Is it beautiful or not? "Beauty," I replied with a drink. There was silence again, I picked some vegetables and chewed them slowly in my mouth, and he drank vigorously in silence, and after a while his wine jug was empty, he picked up the wine jug and shook it, calling Xiao Er to bring another pot of wine, and the attendant standing behind him opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth and just looked at him intently.
Wei Sheng drank two more glasses, suddenly threw the cup on the table, fell on the table and cried bitterly, I looked at him silently, he cried for a while, and raised his head: "I asked her to go with me, but she refused, I swore not to see her again, but I came to see her get married, my heart hurt to break......" He said incoherently, I knew that he just wanted to find someone to tell him about the bitterness in his heart, and he didn't need me to answer, so he continued to be silent.
We had eaten this meal for more than an hour, and it was he who kept talking, and I was silent, and he asked for two more jugs of wine, until I did not know what had been poured into him, so I settled the bill, and told his attendant to send him home, and went back in a carriage.
Three days later, it was the day when the bride returned to the door, and the queen called me into the palace early in the morning, and the prince also stayed in the Fengyi Palace on this day, waiting for his sister to come back. Seeing that their mother and son urged people to find out if Liu Huan had returned, I thought that although it was a marriage, they still felt sorry for Liu Huan.
It didn't take long for Liu Huan and Cao Changan to enter the palace, they now live in the newly built princess's mansion, the princess's mansion is in the south of the city, a long distance from the palace, it seems that the two of them went out early in the morning to come here. According to the rules, the husband and wife went to meet the king first, and then came to Fengyi Palace. After the two kowtowed, the queen pulled Liu Huan to herself, seeing that her face was calm and not happy or worried, she didn't have a little of the shyness and joy of a newlywed woman, and couldn't help but look cold, Liu Huan just didn't see it, only pulled me to talk, and the prince led Cao Changan to the East Palace to talk.
The family banquet at noon was placed in the Qingtai Palace, the king and all the concubines and princesses in the palace were present, the king and the queen naturally sat on the upper seat, the left hand seat was the prince and the second prince Chen Pu, the right hand seat was Chen Huan and his wife, I myself sat under Chen Huan, it was convenient to speak only one way between the two, the prince's first few seats were a group of young princes and princesses, and my first few seats were all the concubines.
After Chen Huan and his wife toasted to the king and queen, everyone toasted them one by one, and after I toasted, I looked at the opposite seat in a daze, Chen Huan turned sideways and asked me with a smile: "Sister Mi, what are you and the prince and brother looking at?" I was stunned for a moment, only to find that Chen Xie on the other side raised his glass to me with a smile, I smiled and raised the wine glass and took a sip, and replied: "I'm not looking at him, I'm thinking that I will be missing Ah Xing today, and I don't know where he went?" Chen Huan was stunned and sighed in a low voice. Yudie, who was sitting behind me, pulled my sleeve, I looked back to the future, and picked up a glass of wine: "Look at me, today is a happy day, why am I so disappointed." Chen Huan also raised his wine glass and whispered: "What a happy day, it's just a show!" Her voice was very low, but I was startled, and quickly looked at her side, only to see Cao Changan turn his head, look at us expressionlessly, turn his head and continue to talk to the prince, I quickly cheered up, only chatted with Chen Huan about clothes and jewelry, and didn't dare to provoke her to talk nonsense, an hour later, the banquet was over, and I said goodbye to the queen and went back to my house.
