Chapter 441: Crying
Shuyi's marriage had been prepared for nearly a month, and the Ministry of Rites had almost exhausted its efforts to give the best and most practical dowry, probably because the emperor's attitude stimulated them, or they felt something.
In short, that day, Shuyi's red wedding dress was squeezed into gorgeous and moving, dressed extremely noble and beautiful, the phoenix crown on the head was a bead curtain, each pearl was a rice color, it is said that Shuyi liked the rice color, and the queen mother ordered someone to find a lot of rice color millet beads to make her a crown.
She was beautiful that day, sitting in the car and waving to the people who came to see them off, smiling all the time, without the slightest grievance and tears, she smiled very happily, a little shy, as if she was really happy.
The people learned that Princess Shuyi was going to live in the Western Regions with her relatives and thousands of miles away, and they all came to see her off.
Shuyi kept waving to the people, with a shallow friendly smile on her face, showing dignified and elegant.
Mingzhu stood on the highest platform in the palace, and Zhou Ying kept watching her like this, tears falling down one by one.
"She was better than me and did what I couldn't do."
Mingzhu sighed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Actually, she's just like you, just doing what she has to do, and she's defending her surname." Zhou Ying pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, but it was more ugly than crying.
"That's different, sacrificing death is actually just a momentary thing, the pain is not long, but the relatives do have to pay a lifetime of pain, **** boil and boil, until the fire in the heart is all extinguished, looking at the hometown is always in recall, no longer see the future, that taste is slowly infiltrating into your life bit by bit, so that you are powerless to struggle, which is much more cruel than instant death.
In fact, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the pain of not being able to survive and dying, and the grievances that others cannot understand. ”
"Yes, so so many princesses, including me, are afraid to go and kiss, I can't say it, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't had a good sleep for more than half a month when I got the news, for fear that I will be selected to kiss. Hearing the news that Zhou Wan'er was pushed out by her father to get married, I don't know how happy and happy I am, and I even hope to make a decision as soon as possible, the dead friend will not die and the poor will not die, I haven't even considered whether my father will work harder, whether he will be pinched by Uncle Duanwang's neck and fall into a passive situation, I only care about whether I can go to kiss myself. Zhou Ying covered her face and cried whimpering.
It took a long time for Zhou Ying to put down her hand, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, and she murmured hesitantly: "Do you say that we can still see her in our lifetimes?" ”
Mingzhu spoke calmly, with a sad expression on her face, "She is a princess, she will become a queen in the future, and she is not marrying to a foreign country, she can always go back to her mother's house when she has time, how can the king of the Western Regions let her come back from time to time, you dream." ”
"That's ......."
"She may never come back for the rest of her life, and she will be buried in the royal cemetery in the Western Regions after her death, and she may not be seen again in this life." Mingzhu suddenly shouted, and the tears remained silently.
"And if she is wronged...... Zhou Ying thought about it a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
"No one can help her, she can only rely on herself, where the heaven should not be called the earth is not spiritual, we are the last to know the news when we die, everything from now on will depend on her to work alone, we are beyond the reach of the whip, once there is a war or the peaceful armistice agreement in the Western Regions is unilaterally torn up, Shuyi will definitely die." Mingzhu gasped, and scolded fiercely word by word with tears in her eyes, the more sober she was, the more painful it was.
Shuyi's choice is undoubtedly the right choice for the court, Da Zhou, and Zhou, and she has set an example for the princess. But people can be ruthless, emotion and reason are two different things, they often fight, or a bloodless war.
"Mingzhu, don't say that, I'm afraid of ....... Woooooo Zhou Ying couldn't bear to cry.
Mingzhu wiped away her tears fiercely, "You hope that the next emperor can still take care of the love of brothers and sisters, otherwise not only will she die, but none of the children she will give birth to will survive." Harmony is sacrifice, what do you think is harmony? She looked at her with a resentful glint in her eyes, and she didn't know what she hated herself.
There was a fire in my chest that burned again, and my heart hurt, but there was no water to extinguish it, and it was very uncomfortable.
Why the anger? This is actually what a princess should do, but she just hates it. Because in her previous life, in order to protect her, her sister still chose to kiss her, but she died in five years.
Originally, she went, but her father was reluctant to force the courtiers too tightly, and her sister had always treated her very well, touching her face that day, "You have to be good, you have to learn to forbear." ”
My sister went to ask my father to make peace with Mingzhu instead of Mingzhu, my father agreed, my sister left like this, she was drugged and fell asleep until the married carriage and horse had gone out of the city and couldn't come back.
Later, when I learned the news of my sister's death, it was her death.
It's been a long time, I haven't touched this scar for a long time, and no one dares to mention his name in front of me after my sister gets married, for fear that she will be sad, but she knows everything in her heart.
In fact, she is a coward, she can't be so brave, and her father said that you can't go if you want to, because you have been in poor health, and it's useless to go.
Her father gave her a lot of love, but she still couldn't keep her life, she passed away in the prime of life, and it was her unfilial piety to let her father send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.
I often think that maybe God is fair, her early death is actually retribution, it is the retribution for her cowardice and dare not take responsibility, if she had gone by herself, would her sister not have died?
Mingzhu stumbled back to Cining Palace alone, shrunk in the flower garden of Cining Palace, whining and crying bitterly, I don't know what to cry about, and I can't tell whether to cry for myself or Shuyi, or cry for my sister.
I don't know when a light rain fell in the sky, it was like tears, even the heavens were crying?
"Mingzhu, go home." A clear voice sounded from behind her.
Mingzhu turned her head and threw herself into his arms, howling and crying, crying like a child, this is the first time she has cried like this when she is so big, she is very strong and rarely sheds tears.
"Don't cry, this is the way she is going, we should bless her." The slender and powerful arms put their arms around her and patted her gently.
"My heart is uncomfortable, I am uncomfortable......." Mingzhu cried silently.
"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be fine, I'll take you home." Zhou Li's voice was as clear as jade, like a clear ice spring slowly flowing into his heart.
"I miss my mother, I want to go home." Mingzhu's eyes were swollen from crying, and at this time she just wanted to go home and stay by her mother's side, which was the source of her strength.
"Okay, let's go home." Zhou Li helped her nod and spoke softly. (To be continued.) )
