Chapter 5 Death is better than death
It was night, there were no stars and no moon, and the night was dark. In the sky, dark clouds gathered together, pressing the sky extremely low, and the atmosphere was dull and suffocating. Shen Luyi was only wearing two single clothes, walking alone under the thick night, although his heart was like numbness, his steps were extremely steady.
At this time, the Taiji Hall in front of it was brightly lit, and every palace lamp did its best to hold the colorful life, so dazzling, even dazzling.
When Shen Luyi walked to the hall, he saw that Xi Ze was copying Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface", the penmanship was smooth, the demeanor was pleasant, the palace people on both sides of him bowed their heads and stood quietly, the one in this hall looked so harmonious, without a trace of chaos. However, the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for Shen Luyi to calm down.
She even forgot to salute the new emperor, so she impatiently said to the palace people in the palace: "All go down!" ”
Only then did Xi Ze see Shen Luyi, and he didn't have time to blame Sixi for his dereliction of duty that he had not passed on, so he quickly signaled all the stunned palace people to withdraw. At this moment, Shen Luyi's face was completely pale, Xi Ze couldn't help but be taken aback, but soon understood everything, he put down the wolf in his hand, turned out the book presented by Wang Ningxuan from a pile of folds, and smiled reluctantly: "Lu'er, you came just in time, recently I asked Ning Xuan to find some of my Chao Jiajun for you, the first one written on this roster is Wan Feng, I think it is very good, others I don't know, Wan Feng I know best!" Not only is he handsome, but he also has a very good family background, high knowledge, and a sweet mouth, which is very compatible with you, but he is ...... I haven't asked him what he means. But don't worry, if you like him, I can protect you both! ”
"Protecting the media?!" Sure enough, as he expected, when Xi Ze saw the first name written on this fold, he couldn't wait to plan for himself, Shen Luyi couldn't help but be so angry that his eyebrows rose, "I don't like Xia Wanfeng, and Xia Wanfeng doesn't like me, what kind of matchmaker do you have?" ”
"This ......" Xi Ze was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, but still tried to keep a smile, "You two don't like each other, right?" But it doesn't matter, there are other beauties on this fold, which are also good, so it's better to ...... Let you choose by yourself, and I will marry you if you have chosen it! ”
As he spoke, he handed the fold to Shen Luyi.
Shen Luyi took the fold, held it tightly, and tried to restrain his feelings: "It turns out that you are determined to marry me, not Wang Ningxuan who scared me!" Poor I still won't believe it! ”
"These are all my meanings, you don't blame Ning Xuan, she just does what she is told!"
"What a man who does what he is told!" Shen Luyi couldn't restrain his feelings anymore when he heard this, and shouted sharply, "Third brother, why are you doing this to me when you sue me? What I've done for you all these years, is it ...... Is it for your 'marriage'? ”
With that, he threw the fold in his hand on the table.
Xi Ze looked at Shen Luyi, who was out of control and full of grief and anger in front of him, the smile he had just squeezed out couldn't hold it anymore, he twisted his eyebrows slightly, and said indifferently: "Lu'er, I just want you to be happy." ”
"Who can give me happiness, don't you know? Since you ascended the throne, I watched you welcome Wang Ningxuan into the middle palace, I desperately told myself that she deserved the position of your queen, and then I watched you seal this today, seal that tomorrow, I tried to restrain the vinegar in my heart, and waited in the green water house, wait, wait, wait! It is said that feng shui takes turns, and it should be my head, but what I am waiting for is the news that you are going to marry me! To whom will you give me? A county lord who has no reliance, who will be rare?! The more Shen Luyi spoke, the more excited he became, and finally gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Third brother, am I just annoying you like this?" ”
Xi Ze was speechless, and could only listen in silence.
"I know, you complain that I shouldn't use Yan Yuntian to convey the message of King Yu, but I didn't hurt her after all." Shen Luyi calmed down a little, and said sadly, "Besides, it was just an accident that I met her in the Green Water Residence, and I admit that the second time was indeed the time I deliberately played "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" to introduce her to the Green Water Residence, but King Yu was suspicious, and the Green Water Residence also contained his fine works, so I had to make this decision in order to find out Qiao Yun's whereabouts from his mouth and pass it on to you unknowingly." But no matter what, Yan Yuntian has always been safe and sound, and he has not had a problem with you because of this. Am I guilty of this in your heart? ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he immediately argued: "It has nothing to do with Yun Tian!" His eyebrows were deeply twisted into the word "Chuan", and all the previous indifference was faded, "This is a matter between me and you, and it has nothing to do with Yun Tian!" ”
"Then why did you do this!" Shen Luyi said sadly, "Third brother, you and I have grown up together since childhood, although you are nearly ten years older than me, but, since I was very young, you have been a god-like existence in my heart, so unattainable. I grew up in my infinite admiration for you, and when I finally grew up to the age where I could marry, you had already married Wang Ningxuan as my wife, but, in my heart, you are still so tall and martial, I work hard to make myself better and better, I practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and hard practice horseback riding and archery, just to be closer to you. I work so hard, I work so hard, I want to be your virtuous helper, I want to do my best to help you realize your every wish, so, I volunteer to lurk by King Yu's side for you. Do you know that when I found out that you were emotionally attached to Yanyun, I once desperately wanted to end myself, I was miserable, I was sad, but I still couldn't quit loving you...... I know that you only have Yan Yuntian in your heart, and I know very well that I can't rob her, and I never thought of robbing her. But third brother, I don't want much, I just want to love you openly, that's all! I don't ask for a high position or a lot of power, even if it's a change of clothes, at least it can prove that I have really loved all these years! Wang Ningxuan can do it for you, I can do it too, Yan Yuntian can do it for you, I can do it too, I don't lose to the two of them, or even to any of them in this harem fandel, but this title is so easy with others, why does it become so difficult to get to me? You know that it is impossible for me to fit someone else in my heart, why do you still plan to marry me? Why? ”
In the face of Shen Luyi's such a straightforward confession, Xi Ze couldn't help but gasp, although he repeatedly avoided Shen Luyi's feelings, but her words had already said this, Xi Ze had to face it. He took a deep breath, looked at Shen Luyi solemnly, and said seriously, "What you said is all right, now I can canonize any woman as I want, but the premise is: I am willing!" But Lu'er, the person I am most reluctant to canonize in this world is you! Do you know that it is precisely because you have done nothing for me that you are not inferior to any of them, that I cannot live up to you? Over the years, you have seen everything you have done for me, and you have not forgotten it for a moment. You are so beautiful, so noble, just like a goddess, no matter where you go, you will always bloom with remarkable brilliance. But Lu'er, I know you too well, your temperament is arrogant, and I have already married Ning Xuan as my wife, all these years Prince Gong's Mansion has been handed over to Ning Xuan to take care of, Ning Xuan has been doing a good job, helping me relieve a lot of worries, how can I demote my wife to a concubine at will? I can't give you the title of wife, I can't give you happiness, how can I selfishly wronged you to be my concubine? You should have a good son, respect you, love you, and protect you in this life, all of which I can't do! Therefore, I do not want to canonize you! However, you can rest assured that no matter who you marry in the future, and no matter what happens in the future, your status in my heart will not change, and it will not even be lower than Yun Qian and Ning Xuan! I will always treat you as my own sister, respect your decisions, and love you for this life! ”
"I don't want to be your sister! I don't need any respect and love! Third brother, for me, whether it is a wife or a concubine, I don't care, I just want to stay by your side and love you brightly. Isn't that hard? As if a thin blade had crossed his heart, the full pain spread out in a dense manner, and Shen Luyi let the desperate sorrow in his heart gush out, "You...... Do you dislike that I have been good with King Yu? But I've never loved him......" With that, Shen Luyi suddenly rolled up the sleeve of her left hand, revealing the scarlet Shougong sand, and the tears of despair could no longer stop rolling down, one after another, instantly covering her beautiful face, she seemed to use all the strength of her body to say this last sentence, "Actually, I ...... I...... I'm still perfect! ”
Xi Ze was shocked, he never thought that Shen Luyi would misunderstand him, no amount of explanation was superfluous, Xi Ze closed his eyes in pain, not daring to look at her again: "Lu'er, don't say anything more, don't say anything more!" It's all up to you, it's all up to you, whether it's changing clothes, or the imperial concubine, it's all up to you, and the title is also up to you, I depend on you for everything, please don't say it again......"
