Chapter Ninety-Three: The Phoenix Crown
After that, Mu Ciyin often went to the Jade Buddha Temple to talk to Qi Yun about the philosophy of life from poetry and songs, and often forgot the time when chatting, always an afternoon passed, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.
That day, when she was having dinner with her father, her mother suddenly said, "Yin Yin, the emperor wants to marry you, do you have a favorite?" ”
Mu Ciyin was still thinking about going to the Jade Buddha Temple to see her little brother this afternoon, but she was stunned when she heard her mother say this, "Mother, what do you say?" ”
"This kid! Are you getting old too? Mother asks what's wrong with you? I'm still shy! Hehe, master, take a look~" Mrs. Mu smiled and passed the words to Master Mu.
"Yin Yin, Your Majesty plans to marry you to the crown prince, do you like it?"
"Prince?! Dad, mother, I don't marry! I'm not married! When Mu Ciyin heard that she should marry the prince, the whole person was anxious, she had already promised the seventh prince, how could she marry the prince?
"Bastard! You think Dad doesn't know what you're going to do at the Jade Buddha Temple! The seventh prince has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is not favored in front of the emperor, what are the benefits of you and him? The days to come will only be more bitter! What's so bad about marrying a prince? The prince is the dragon among people, he looks good, he is talented and high, which can not compare to the sick and sick Seventh Prince! "That old man Mu is very angry, he has already found out that she has a ghost in the Jade Buddha Temple every day, so he let people investigate, how do you know that the entire Jade Buddha Temple is rumored to be happy between the two of them, this is worth it!
"Daddy! How can you say that about the Seventh Prince! The Seventh Prince came here to recuperate when he was not in good health when he was a child, and he is almost in good health now, he can take care of me! He can give me happiness! Father! ”
"No! I sue you! Tomorrow, His Majesty will issue an order to marry you to the crown prince as the crown princess, you remember it for me! In the future, don't see that Seventh Prince again, stay at home and get married! ”
"Daddy!! Mother, you help your daughter! Mother! Mu Ciyin cried and begged Mrs. Mu, but Mrs. Mu looked at Master Mu in embarrassment, and whispered to persuade her to answer.
"Butler, take the young lady to the room and lock it up, don't go anywhere! Until the day of marriage! As soon as Master Mu finished instructing, he shook his hand and went back to the room, this Mrs. Mu listened to the master all her life, and she could only follow the master back to the room.
The housekeeper over there asked his subordinates to escort Mu Ciyin back to the room, although he was serving her with delicious food and drink, he couldn't let her out. Mu Ciyin has thought of any methods, running away, bribing, pleading, all of them worked, seeing that the wedding was coming, but she was stunned that there was no way at all, the whole person's anger was gone, and her heart was like ashes.
Qi Yun has been waiting for Mu Ciyin to come to see her in the Jade Buddha Temple, she has not been here for several days, at first, Qi Yun thought that she was just delayed, so she didn't have time to come to see him recently, but after a long time, Qi Yun found that something was wrong, and immediately called the personal guard to come and ask about the situation.
"Sue the king, what happened to Miss Mu? What's going on? ”
"This ......"
"What are you doing! Say! ”
When the guard saw that he was angry, he knelt on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly, "A few days ago, the emperor decreed that Miss Mu should be married to the crown prince as the crown princess, but Miss Mu was unwilling and was punished and imprisoned by Master Mu. ”
"What did you say!" As soon as Qi Yun heard this, he stood up in shock, and his whole mind began to be chaotic, "No, no, how can this be?!" How so?! Qi Yun grabbed the guard's collar and roared excitedly, "Are you lying to this king?!" Are you lying to this king?! You're too bold! How dare you deceive this king! ”
"Lord Wang! Rajah! The little one didn't lie to you! I kid you not! The guard kept crying, and the voice made Qi Yun panic.
"Prepare my horses! I'm going to the palace! ”
"Lord Wang! You can't go! The emperor ordered you to recuperate here, you can't go without the emperor's call! That's a rebellion! Rajah! "The guard has been serving Qi Yun since he was a child, and the emperor exiled the prince to the Jade Buddha Temple for many years because of that incident, on the grounds that the prince was not in good health, and it seems that if the prince insists on entering the palace, then the emperor will definitely use this to cure the prince's sin!" Lord, you just don't think about yourself, you have to think about the queen, if you insist on this, the last one to suffer must be the queen! ”
Qi Yun closed his eyes tremblingly, trying to calm himself down, yes, he was imprisoned here because of that incident and couldn't go anywhere, and now leaving without permission and going to the palace is a protest, no matter how much he doesn't think about himself, he can't help but think about his mother.
"Go down! Let this king be alone! ”
"Yes!"
Qi Yun sat in the pavilion, looking at the lotus pond in a daze, remembering all the things he and Mu Ciyin met, knew each other, and fell in love, and the memories slipped through his mind one by one, and the unforgettable ones generally made him uncomfortable, he couldn't do anything, he could only watch his beloved marry his younger brother, marry his younger brother! Why?! Why?! For so many years, his father locked him up here, he endured it, for the sake of the queen mother, he endured it, for so many years, he never stepped out of the step, for the queen mother, he only stroked the piano in the pavilion all day long, trying to calm his heart, it was Yin Yin, it was Yin Yin who made his heart like ashes burn again, he had what he wanted to do, he had the person he wanted to love, and the first person he wanted to protect besides the queen mother, that was his beloved! How could his father marry her to his younger brother as the crown princess! Father! Do you have to make me hate you?! Do you have to make me hate you for the rest of your life?!
That night, he looked at the moon and stayed sleepless, and Mu Ciyin, who stayed in the room, also stared at the curtain and stayed sleepless, and the two hearts that wanted to love were blocked by many obstacles, far away.
Soon, it was the day of great joy, Mu Ciyin waited for a long time and did not wait for her little brother to take her away, there was no ripple in her heart, and calmly let her mother put on a phoenix crown and a xia veil for her, and sat in the sedan chair that came to marry her.
Because it is the prince to marry a wife, the sedan chair must go around the city, of course, the Jade Buddha Temple is no exception, the prince and the princess must pay tribute to the Bodhisattva in the Jade Buddha Temple before they can go to the prince's mansion to get married.
"Please get off the sedan chair!"
Mu Ciyin thought that when she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, she was tidying up her feelings and getting off the sedan chair, and when she looked up, she saw that what else could be in front of her instead of the Jade Buddha Temple? ! The whole person froze, let the prince take her hand, stepped into the gate of the Jade Buddha Temple, took it to the front hall, and saluted the Bodhisattva. (To be continued.) )
