Chapter 204: Don't you think
Yuan Lingjun was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Kunjiao stood panting in front of the door that she believed that it was true, not that she had auditory hallucinations. Qu Yi, he's back.
In the letter, he wrote: "I am more than four miles away from Beijing, thousands of miles away, and I don't see my wife. ”
Qu Yi said: How can I not miss you.
A few words, full of tenderness, touched the soft strings in her heart, and Yuan Ling could clearly feel what kind of mood he was in when he wrote this letter, excited, excited, mixed with sadness and heartache, because there were tears left on the paper, because the letter she gave him from thought to anger at the end, each sentence was an indictment of his silence.
"Is Childe really coming back?" Kunjiao saw a different excitement on her face.
"It will take three months for the letter to arrive in Lin'an, and it should be almost there."
Yuan Lingjun read the letter from beginning to end with red eyes, read it again, and after repeating it several times, she clutched the silk book tightly to her chest, exhaled a sigh of trembling, and looked at the pavilion loquat tree in the court.
The fourth spring has passed, and the loquat is full of fruits.
Kunjiao also stared at those huge loquat fruits, "Your Majesty, this year's loquat is the biggest and best, it is a good omen, it is better to pick it and give it to the palace people to share." ”
Yuan Lingjun curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes glowing with bright light, "Don't yet." ”
The envoy Guanglu doctor Huang Daoqi would hand over the letter of return every year, but she did not really come into contact with it since the fourth year of Kaifeng, but Huang Daoqi's formulaic report to the government made her unable to get a word about Qu Yi from it, and even the Longxi Shu Kingdom, a country located in the southwest of the Jin Kingdom, knew very little.
Yuan Lingjun didn't know how many stories had happened in Longxi in the past four years, and it was related to Qu Yi.
The old emperor of Shu died, the domestic situation was turbulent, and the young imperial grandson ascended the throne in front of the old emperor in the situation of extremely weak support and became the new king of Shu.
This princess Jinguan is the most legendary woman in Shu, she is the old daughter of the first emperor of Shu, engaged to the son of the family at the age of eighteen, but suddenly regretted the marriage on the night before the marriage, and since then she has been closed in the palace, concentrating on raising her grandson, and now she is already over thirty, and still has no idea of getting married.
The folk have never seen the true face of the princess, guessing that she may be an ugly and fat princess, otherwise why delay so far, some people say that she has a heart, love but can't, so she swore not to marry, some people say that the princess is dedicated to the Tao, not admiring Hongchen, and some people say that there is no princess of Jinguan in Shu at all, it is a character made up by those sour and rotten literati......
These speculations have been with the Shu people for more than ten years, almost becoming a permanent secret of the royal family, Princess Jinguan relied on a strong hand to put the foundationless imperial grandson on the throne, and the legendary princess's Qianqian Su hand provoked the war of the royal family, and the bloody storm about the battle for the throne in Jinguan City was set off, after that, the person who appeared the most times in the Shu population must be the Jinguan princess Meng Dian.
On this year's Shangyuan Festival, Princess Jinguan suddenly said to the King of Shu: "The concubine raised His Majesty, and never made any request, so His Majesty allowed the concubine's first request." Please let the concubine marry Jin Chen Quyi. ”
The princess's admiration for Jin Chen Qu Yi is no longer a secret thing in the palace. Jin envoy to visit Shu, the princess has never put it in her eyes, nor has she left the palace for this half a step, only one Dragon Boat Banquet, the King of Shu invited her to the banquet, during the banquet that is proficient in the law and the handsome young man of the national policy talked eloquently, so that the princess treated him differently, the princess fell in love with him, but did not get hot-headed for this. Princess Jinguan is talented and extraordinary, and there is no shortage of talented and good-looking young men in the court, so the reason why the princess can propose marriage is that Qu Yi has untied her heart knot for more than ten years.
On the eve of the princess's marriage at the age of eighteen, she learned from the maid that the future colt was very dissatisfied with her slippery shoulder, and talked about and ridiculed it, and the princess was noble, and the maid would not point out to her face even if she knew that she was a slippery shoulder, and the princess loved perfection, and once she learned that she had such a big flaw that she could not accept it, she did not dare to go out again, and then thought of becoming a couple with the future colt who laughed at her, so she simply regretted not marrying and lived in the harem.
Women don't want others to compliment, after all, it's fake, and the most effective thing is to find a way to cover up the shortcomings. Qu Yi dedicated a set of brocade cloud shoulders to the princess, the princess tried for the first time, and the next day there were different styles of shoulder curtains in Jinguancheng, the princess successfully concealed the defects, and over time, she also faced up to her own defects, and the cloud shoulders have already become a new trend in Jinguancheng.
The princess's request was not unexpected, the young King of Shu had already understood his aunt's heart, and before he woke up from the shock, the princess walked in front of Qu Yi, "Can the prince stay in Shu for Meng Dian and not leave?" She is confident that four years of time together is enough to change a person, even if his heart is like a rock.
Unexpectedly, Qu Yi stood up and arched his sleeves to the King of Shu and said: "The minister has already sent a message to the widow, and the return trip is imminent, so I hereby ask Your Majesty to resign and allow the minister to return to the country as soon as possible." ”
He rejected the beautiful and talented princess. The princess was puzzled, "Does Childe think I'm old and decrepit?" ”
"No, the minister already has a wife and children, and she is still waiting for me to go back in Lin'an, and the princess has another good fate to wait." Qu Yi replied firmly.
"The wife is there, but the son is someone else's. If Childe doesn't have a wife, will he stay? The princess was sad, she was rejected by the man she liked, although Qu Yi had never had an affair with herself. I haven't given any expectations, it's all wishful thinking.
Qu Yi shook his head, "Princess, there is no if, even if there is, I have not forgotten that I am a Jin person, and I came to the treasure land with the mission given by the king." ”
"I have heard about the son, the noble concubine is dissatisfied with you, and wants someone else to take your place, in case your wife changes her and marries another man." The princess tried to fight for it again, "The merchant who came back from the Jin Kingdom said that your Empress Xià favored a good servant surnamed Fu, and she must be very popular with the emperor to have this grace." ”
That's Fu Lingding. Qu Yi smiled slightly: "The minister knows." ”
"That's ...... Do you have to go back to the Jin Kingdom? Even if you are in internal and external troubles, even if your wife changes her mind, even if I forcibly leave you, do you have to go back? ”
Qu Yi smiled and said nothing, the answer couldn't be more obvious. The princess really tasted love and left the table angrily.
"It's better to follow what my aunt said, forcibly leave my son, and when I become a family with my aunt, my heart will settle down." The King of Shu is not an unreasonable faint king, he is deliberately stimulating.
The princess wiped away her tears, sad as a little girl, "If I forget my beloved wife because of that, I will look down on him." It's just a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to fight the Empress face to face, and if I could compete fairly, I might not lose to her. ”
The King of Shu sighed helplessly, "What if my aunt wins?" Winning or losing does not determine who Qu Gongzi belongs to. (To be continued.) )
