Chapter 142: Old Love (2)
Three years later, the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, but the empress was not the original crown princess. And just two months after he ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to launch a war of aggression against Jing'an. Desperate, Duanhui begged Crimean to help him escape to his homeland. Unable to watch her wither like a flower planted in a field of poisonous grass, and unable to refuse the bitter pleas of his sweetheart, he did the first thing in his life that went against the emperor's intentions - to send Duan Hui out of Limeng.
Seeing Duanhui knocking on the gate of Zhenyu Pass in the middle of the night and being welcomed back, Kerim still clearly remembers the complicated feelings at that time, including the reluctance to leave her, the joy of saving her life, and the joy of relief - from the moment she returned to her country, her identity was no longer his sister-in-law, but the princess of the enemy country that he could miss openly and without guilt.
After returning, he confessed to the imperial brother what he had done, perhaps because he saw some clues, but the imperial brother did not punish him, but offered to let him marry the daughter of the Tamu tribal leader as a concubine. Out of guilt for his brother, coupled with the psychology of marrying a woman casually if he can't get Suisui, he agreed to this family business.
On the wedding night, he looked at the woman who was about to become his wife, but his mind was full of Suisui who was far away in Jing'an, and the thought of losing his shackles had swelled to occupy his entire heart, and there was no space left for this strange woman to stand on. In the end, he became a deserter and gave the bride a wedding night alone.
From then on, his palace was divided into two halves, he ate and lived in the front yard, and the back yard was all reserved for his nominal princess. The lives of the husband and wife are distinct and do not interfere with each other. He didn't have the heart to investigate what kind of psychology his wife's open-mindedness was, he lived like a walking corpse every day, and all he could think about was Suisui.
How could a young man who was just beginning to fall in love be able to resist this kind of bone-eating lovesickness, and a crazy plan came to Krimu's heart - he wanted to try his best to go to Jing'an to find Suisui.
The later experience is just like what he told Minyi, while he was accumulating his own strength, he used all this power to secretly dig that cave, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and finally stood in front of Suisui in the thirty-seventh year of Yongkang.
I haven't seen her for eight years, and her sweetheart, who is already thirty-five, has a touch of maturity and charm than she remembers, and Krimu, who is only four years younger than her, shows a smile in front of her as when she first met her at the age of eighteen. Seeing her happy appearance now, Krimu only felt that what he had done was worth it.
Duanhui didn't expect to be able to see the benefactor he never forgot in his life in his lifetime, and he was pleasantly surprised. She didn't ask him why he was here, nor did she ask him what his purpose was for coming to Jing'an, she was like simply entertaining a distant friend, warmly inviting him to stay, taking him to visit all the major scenic spots in the capital, boating on the lake, and drinking and talking.
After only a few days of such a happy day, Kerim, who was carried away by happiness, finally mustered up the courage to confess his heart to his sweetheart on the day of Tanabata.
Duanhui, who has grown eight years of experience, actually noticed the affection in the hot eyes of Krimu as early as the day of reunion, maybe the night was too charming, maybe it was out of repaying the kindness, or maybe it was ...... She also had him in her heart, and after listening to Krimu confide in her heart, she didn't hesitate for long before nodding lightly.
The four eyes are connected, the lips touch, and a qiē is a matter of course. One is a boy who has been guarding for many years, and the other is a young woman who has been alone for eight years, **, all kinds of absurdities do not need to be detailed. In short, it was the happiest and happiest time in Crimea's life, and it was also the spiritual pillar for him to suppress his thoughts after separation.
The princess fell in love unusually without hiding the first emperor who doted on his daughter, and it wasn't long before Krimu received a secret summons from his father-in-law. He did not object to the relationship, but pointed to the sharp question that both of them were subconsciously avoiding: What about the future? No father who loves his daughter can tolerate a fruitless love brought to him by any man, and the first emperor gave Kerim three days to make a choice, or abandon the identity of Prince Gong and become a nameless male favorite in his daughter's mansion from now on; or return to China immediately and cut off with your daughter from now on.
The identity of the two former uncles and sisters-in-law is destined to make this relationship impossible to make public to the world, and there will always be someone who gives up his identity and will be a disgraceful person from now on. The first emperor would never allow his daughter to do this, so only Crimea would make the sacrifice. But as a prince whose royal pride is engraved in his bones, how can Kerim put aside the country, give up his dignity, and become a little white face that he even looks down on?
Three days later, with great pain and reluctance, Klim embarked on the road back. Princess Duanhui didn't blame him, but only made one last request before parting, and the two parties never deliberately inquired about each other's news from now on, so they buried this relationship deep in their memory, and they were strangers from then on.
The Krimu, who had experienced this relationship, quickly matured. After returning to China, he spent half a year adjusting his mentality, forcing the most unforgettable memory in his life to a corner of his heart, starting from the princess who accepted him, and living a normal life as an ordinary prince. Because of this, I didn't know that I had a daughter in the world for 14 years.
***
It was only after talking about the sun and dry mouth that Crimea finished talking about this poignant love story. Minyi, who learned her complete life for the first time, was silent, she didn't know what kind of attitude to use to go to the man in front of her who was full of pain and helplessness. I want to complain, but I can't; I want to accept it, but I can't accept it all of a sudden.
Considerately not persecuting her, Krimu ordered his men to come in and serve her fresh, and then withdrew from the room for a while, leaving her time to digest the story.
Sure enough, when Minyi dressed up and walked into the restaurant, the resistance to him was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.
The table was filled with steaming delicacies, all of which were Jing'an dishes, many of which were unique to Beijing.
"Kid, are you hungry? Sit down and eat. In two days, Dad will take you home for the New Year, and if you are not used to eating and wearing anything in the future, you will tell Dad directly, and Dad will do his best to satisfy you. The loving smile on Krimu's face was a little rusty, and it was obvious that it was the first time he had made such an expression to a person.
Smelling the fragrance, Minyi realized that she was already hungry. stepped forward and sat down, unceremoniously stuffed a few large mouthfuls of food into his mouth, and swallowed hard before he could reply. "What if I'm not used to your princess?"
Krimu said without thinking, "Then Daddy won't allow her to appear in front of you." If it doesn't work, our father and daughter will find another courtyard to live in, and leave the palace to her. ”
Perhaps it was the indulgence in his eyes that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved that touched Minyi's defense, and she gradually let down her guard and became casual.
"Why? You are the prince, and if you want to live in another courtyard, she will also live. Anyway, she was born with a rejection of the princess her father married, and she didn't think to hide her resentment.
"Isn't it okay? No matter how she said it, she has also taken care of the inner courtyard for me for so many years, if there is no reason to get by, she will drive people to the other courtyard......" The last bit of sanity of Kerim was thrown out of the clouds after seeing his daughter pouting, and the next moment he immediately changed his words: "Okay, good, as long as you are happy, Dad will let her move out when he turns around."
