Chapter 16: The Truth About Marriage
The door was slowly pushed open, and I held my breath and listened, and then the door was gently shut, and my heart sank into a tension as the footsteps approached. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Subsequently. The hijab was picked off in an instant, and the corners of Murong Chenxi's mouth hooked up an indifferent smile, and his eyes were surprisingly gentle, making people not even think of the previous indifference.
He turned around and walked up to me with two glasses of wine on the table and said, "After drinking this glass, you and I will grow old from now on." ā
To remain a devoted couple to the end of their lives? I think it's funny, if I spend my life with him in this life, I'd rather not.
However, what can I change at this point, I took the wine glass in his hand, raised the wine glass first, and said, "Lord Wang, please." ā
His eyes were dark, and he said with a smile: "Princess, please." ā
I drank both glasses at the same time, and when I put them down, I looked at him alertly.
At this moment, he slowly stepped forward, approached the bedside, and his slender white fingers ran from his shoulders to my waist, slowly untying my clothes. I let him go motionless, but my heart was extremely sad, and when I untied only one thing left, I couldn't help crying, tears sliding down my cheeks.
He froze, stopped, his face not as gentle as before, no smile, and a disappointed expression.
After a while, he stopped looking at me, turned his back and asked, "Do you hate me?" ā
The voice was incomparably desolate and hoarse.
I still sobbed and didn't answer, and he asked knowingly, how could I not hate him?
Seeing that I was silent, he said, "I know you must hate me." ā
I stopped crying and looked at him in surprise, such a straightforward remark not only surprised me, but his mind has always been unpredictable. I chose to remain silent and listened silently to what he would say next.
He sat down, his eyes fixed on the front, not at me. "My former princess, her name is Wan Li, and she is my favorite woman, but she passed away and is separated from me by yin and yang. I thought I would never meet again in this life, until one day I saw you in the country of Chu. ā
Speaking of which, he gazed at me affectionately. I was shocked and asked, "What does this have to do with me?" "I'm confused, I don't know why.
"Because, you look like her." He said slowly.
He stopped talking, was silent, there was a long silence.
.......
.........
Suddenly, he got up and said to me, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do what you don't want, it's late, rest early!" ā
With a "squeak", the door was opened again, and a cold wind blew in, invading my body, extremely cold, and then only the sound of the door being closed was heard.
Tears finally couldn't help but fall, drop by drop.
It turned out that he only married me because I looked like his deceased princess.
It turns out that, at the end of the day, I'm just a stand-in for someone else.
He was really cruel and took me away from Junxuan, and now he told me this on his wedding day, not saying much, but hurting every word.
Qianping pushed the door in at this time, "Princess, I just saw the prince walking out of the happy room, so I rushed over to take a look." ā
On the night of marriage, the groom left and left the bride alone in the wedding room, which is still unlucky in ordinary people's homes, not to mention the royal family and nobles, Qianping is a person who has been with me for many years, how can I not understand.
I cried on Qianping's shoulder, looking at my sad crying, Qianping didn't speak anymore, and let me vent.
At night, coming out of the happy room, Murong Chenxi did not go to the study as before, he came to the back mountain of the palace, where there is a tombstone, the night is cold and silent, the person lying in the tomb must be very lonely, he bent down gently, stretched out his hand to touch the tombstone, his face showed a painful look, remembering the lively scene in the palace today, everyone laughed constantly, but the person in the tombstone was lonely, lonely, he blamed himself more and more.
What if you meet her, it's not her after all.
What about marrying her, she doesn't want happiness from him, and the person he can give happiness to will never come back in this life.
In the happy room, seeing her crying in front of him, he hesitated, is it worth it to get it desperately?
He tried his best to get her, he wanted to hide his past, he ordered all the people in the house not to mention it to her, paper can't contain the fire, Murong Chenxi understood that one day she would know, rather than this, it was better to tell her earlier.
Yes, Murong Chenxi admitted that he married her for a purpose, and he didn't want her to know the truth. However, in the end, in the face of Bingxi's resistance, he still chose to tell her everything, whether it was too cruel to her.
Whether it is worth it or not, since he married her, he told himself that he had to treat her well, love her, even if he couldn't be the one she loved in his heart, he had to become the man who loved her the most in the world, only in this way would he feel that she had never left his side. The breeze blows, drawing in the leaves
There was a whooshing sound. Murong Chenxi sat in front of the tombstone and drank wine quietly, glass after glass, although the wine was strong, he couldn't get drunk, he missed it too much, and he couldn't forget it after all.
On the night of marriage, Murong Chenxi never came back after leaving, he was probably really angry. However, he can resist me and leave, what about me, what can I do? Can you continue to stay in Chu without marrying him? I know it's impossible, but it's funny that I still have a little fantasy in my heart.
After taking off this heavy wedding robe, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and after a while, with Qianping's company and comfort, I slowly accepted the fact of being a stand-in. If the imperial grandmother knew that her granddaughter was nominally a noble princess, but in fact she was just a stand-in for others, as the queen mother of the Chu State, she didn't know how she would feel.
Under Qianping's company and care, I soon felt a little sleepy, and in my dream, I dreamed of a man riding a horse towards me.........
The next day, maybe it was last night, I slept until noon, and when I woke up, five maids in the house were already waiting outside the door, and when they saw me wake up, they immediately came to me enthusiastically, and served me to get up and change clothes and wash. Dressed in lake green clothes, I was worried about the hairpin on my head, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of a magnolia hairpin placed next to the mirror, a white magnolia flower, small and delicate, simple but very elegant, I liked it very much at first sight.
Looking back at Xiaoni: "This hairpin is very beautiful, let's wear it today." ā
Xiaoni was extremely excited and said, "The princess likes this hairpin?" This is a gift from the former princess to our princess on her birthday, and the former princess has always regarded it as a treasure......" Suddenly Xiaoni realized that she had said the wrong thing, like a child who had done something wrong, and lowered her head, "The princess forgives her sins, and the slave and maid are too talkative." ā
Xiaoni unintentionally said something to let me know the unusual hairpin and the meaning of it, remembering that Murong Chenxi said last night that marrying me was just my princess who looked like him, I was very annoyed, touched my face, and asked Xiaoni tentatively quietly: "Do I look like your former princess?" ā
Xiaoni and the other maids looked at me in surprise. I continued to innocently say, "Isn't it like that? It's strange, your prince said last night that I looked like his former princess. ā
Hearing me talk about Murong Chenxi, the maid's surprised expression softened.
Xiaoni still asked uncertainly: "Lord Wang, did he really say that to the princess?" ā
Xiaoni is a cautious maid, and I am not surprised at all when I ask this.
I smiled, "Otherwise, where do you say I know?" ā
"The slave doesn't dare, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Xiaoni hesitated.
"Just what?"
"It's just that the prince was afraid that you wouldn't be angry before, and he told you not to mention the matter of the former princess in front of you if you didn't ask."
I was stunned, since he deliberately concealed it, that, the woman he loved the most. Why, on the day of marriage, he told me the real reason for marrying me. I don't understand, I don't understand.
