Chapter 222: The Finale (I)
Since that day, Xun Zhan led the troops to surround the Bianjing City to break through, Luo Yun took poison and died a day has passed, because the first emperor was killed, his son Prince Shou Wang, the third son Ning Wang was not spared, the throne can only fall on the fifth son Xiao Xuantai, who is only nine years old, and because he is still young, the elders of the three dynasties who were forcibly sent home by Luo Yun returned to the court and assisted him to ascend the throne.
And the Empress Dowager Xun, since Luo Yun's death, is also because of Xun Zhan's contribution to saving the dynasty, she still sits firmly in the Empress Dowager of the Middle Palace.
Since the death of Mrs. Changping Hou, the body of Mrs. Changping Hou has not been hidden by Luo Yun, and the momentum of Changping Hou in the past is gone.
And Meng Sheng, after Luo Yun took the throne, was imprisoned, and when Luo Yun fell, Luo Yun was naturally released and reappointed as the deputy minister, with a lot more power than before.
Xun Ce also took Murong Yurao back to the Xun house, Murong Yurao's body was also nearly four months, and her face was becoming more and more ruddy, it seems that although she is adrift these days, she has been living well.
And Suzhou Luo's old lady Luo Yin took the Qi family to live, and it was really good, but the matter has been dealt with, the original Suzhou Luo's is still Suzhou Luo's, and Qi's Rong Jun and Luo Jingyu still returned to Bianjing.
The only difference is that the original unwanted contact has become a frequent contact, and Luo Jingyu's contact with Luo Jingming is more diligent than when Luo Qian was alive.
On the second day after Rong Wan returned from the palace, the three Qi family also entered Bianjing City.
These days, Bai Yao and Yinglu have been waiting for her in Luofu, she took the two of them to the gate of the mansion to greet the three of the Qi family, and when they arrived at the door, Rong Jun hurriedly hugged her and cried bitterly, if she hadn't stood in front of Rong Jun well, Rong Jun thought she was not in this world.
Qi Shi also rarely cared about her with a pleasant face, as if after a storm, he had returned to the beginning.
And what has changed is Luo Jingyu and the seventh princess, because the seventh princess has been pregnant for more than a month, if it weren't for the fear of the road being reversed, they would definitely arrive in Bianjing two days earlier.
But what could be more joyful than being a family reunion?
After seeking Qi's consent, Rong Wan instructed the cook to cook some good dishes for them, and the banquet was set up in the main courtyard.
After the banquet, Rong Jun didn't see Rong Wan for a long time, and still sat next to Rong Wan affectionately, after all, she was the only person in the family who didn't know Rong Wan's identity.
"Sister, when did we change the chef in the house? Why do you think it tastes better than the previous ones? Rong Jun tasted it, and suddenly felt different.
Firefly stood behind Rong Wan and wanted to answer, but when she saw Rong Wan glancing at her lightly, she quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking, only listening to Rong Wan say, "Xu is Ah Jun, you have been in Suzhou for a long time, and you have forgotten the taste of the house." ”
However, Rong Jun obviously didn't buy it, and Nunu said, "Sister, I've only been away for two months, how can it be so exaggerated, what a good cook, Sister still refuses to sue me." ”
Rong Wan knew that she couldn't hide it from her, so she had to glance at Bai Yao and signal Bai Yao to say, at least Bai Yao wouldn't add oil and vinegar like fireflies.
Bai Yao understood, took a step forward, and said loudly, "Back to the little lady, our cook today was sent by Vice Minister Meng." ”
Rong Jun paused slightly, and suddenly realized, "Vice Minister Meng? Is it Brother Meng? Is he already a vice minister? Brother Meng was so good, he knew that we were back, so he sent the cook over. ”
The seventh princess sat next to Rong Jun, knocked Rong Jun's head with a smile, and said with a smile, "How did the deputy minister know that we came back, obviously it was given to Ah Wan to cook for Ah Wan." ”
Rong Jun stuck out her tongue, but Rong Wan glanced at the seventh princess with some surprise, thinking that the seventh princess didn't like to talk, how could she go out and come back but would tease people.
The seventh princess was also embarrassed by Rong Wan, her face was slightly red, and she looked at Luo Jingyu, Luo Jingyu received a signal from her daughter-in-law asking for help, so she had to look at Rong Wan with a smile, "Ah Wan, your sister-in-law is right, if you look at it again, she will be embarrassed to talk again." ”
Since the elder brother interceded, Rong Wan was not embarrassed to hold on, but she did not acquiesce to Meng Sheng's matter, but just said, "When Vice Minister Meng sent it, he said that the family would get together in a few days, and this cook would come in handy." ”
The people present smiled silently, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Meng Sheng was affectionate to Rong Wan.
It's a pity that the flowing water is affectionate, but the flowers are unintentional.
After eating, Qi, who had not spoken much, spoke, "A few of you will disperse first, Awan, you stay, I have something to say to you." ”
The other people dispersed, but Rong Wan followed Qi to the inner room.
Rong Wan stood behind Qi and listened to Qi's words, "These days, I have been tossing and turning, leaving you alone in Bianjing, I have thought a lot, no matter what, you are your father's child, in this world, there are many men with three wives and four concubines, although your father said that he married not the person he wanted to marry, but he has never treated me badly, let alone accepted a concubine, it stands to reason that I should be content." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Shi turned around and looked at Rong Wan earnestly, "You are also older now, you should understand my state of mind, I am sorry that I treated you very badly a few days ago, and you should not take it to heart anymore." ”
Rong Wan listened silently, not without shock in her heart, Qi's words dispelled the haze of so many days for her, she raised her head slightly, and said softly, "Can I still call your mother?" ”
Qi Shi was slightly stunned, nodded, and his voice trembled slightly, "Naturally." She didn't expect that after such things, Rong Wan would really be so disregardful of her past suspicions, and she was deeply relieved in her heart.
"Your father said before his death that the person you want to marry in the future must be nodded by you, Vice Minister Meng once said that as long as you are willing to marry, you will always be his wife, so, I want to ask you, are you willing to marry him?" Again, to the point.
Since the death of the sixth princess, Meng Sheng has really been alone, and the people of Bianjing City still remember that Meng Sheng once said that he would only marry the sixth princess in this life and this life, if he breaks his promise now, I don't know how the people of Bianjing City will think of him, besides, he is still going to marry her.
She thought that Meng Sheng should have broken off this idea a long time ago, but she never thought that he had never given up in the past few years.
Rong Wan looked at the Qi family and shook her head, "When Meng was the same as the sixth princess, my mother must know that if he married me at this time, I am afraid it will not be good for his career." ”
What Rong Wan said, Qi naturally could think of it, and then replied, "As long as you want to marry, Vice Minister Meng is willing to step down and return to his hometown, and he doesn't want you to endure rumors in Bianjing." ”
Rong Wan still shouldn't, "Forget it, let's ask my mother to refuse him!" ”
Seeing that she was resolute, Qi could only nod.
On the second day, Qi instructed the little servant to send a message to Meng Sheng, Meng Sheng was dealing with business in the study, and when he saw Qi sent a letter, he was apprehensive, and after reading the ten lines at a glance, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
I picked up a pen and paper, wrote a few lines, sealed it, and handed it to the little servant and asked him to send it to Luofuzhong.
After Qi received the letter, he called Rong Wan to the main room, Rong Wan saw the letter, thought about it in her heart, and said, "Please arrange it for my mother!" ”
Qi patted Rong Wan's hand and said with great meaning, "Ah Wan, your father and I can hope that you are well." ”
Rong Wan nodded yes.
After two days, Meng Sheng was invited into the mansion, and Rong Wan went to the main hall of the outer courtyard to meet him.
Meng Shengben was sitting in the hall, and when he saw Rong Wan coming, he quickly stood up and walked in front of Rong Wan, "Ah Wan." ”
Rong Wan looked at Meng Sheng in front of her, compared to when she first saw him, Meng Sheng had an unspoken momentum, it was the Qi family of the superior, which made people feel timid in front of him.
"Congratulations to Meng Langjun for being promoted to deputy prime minister." Rong Wan bowed slightly to show solemnity.
"Awan, you don't want to be outside like this." Seeing Rong Wan like this, Meng Sheng wanted to get closer, but he paused, he only felt that they saw that there was an invisible ditch, and he couldn't cross it no matter how he could, "Between you and me, must you be so unfamiliar?" ”
Rong Wan paused slightly, or said, "Since my father's death, you have always been with me, I am very grateful, but you have told the public that you will only marry the sixth princess in this life, although the sixth princess is dead, but the people of the world know about this matter, you are already a vice minister, don't cut off your career for me, you should know that no matter who you marry, it is better than marrying me." ”
Speaking of these, Meng Sheng was a little annoyed, but at that time, this was the only way not to anger the first emperor, and it was also the way to appease the six princesses.
But what Rong Wan said was very right, as long as he didn't marry her, the people would be tolerant of him.
Meng Sheng looked at Rong Wan, and felt that her reasons for not marrying him were not only these, so after using his brain slightly, he asked tentatively, "Ah Wan, do you have someone you like?" ”
Rong Wan paused slightly, speaking of the person she liked, a person appeared in her mind, she shook her head slightly, and did not answer.
Seeing that Rong Wan was so speechless, Meng Sheng could also guess what Rong Wan meant, he exhaled a long breath, and finally said, "Ah Wan, I just hope you can be well." ”
After speaking, Meng Sheng walked out.
Maybe the past life, the present life, the one that should be broken, the one that should have been broken a long time ago, should not have a trace of nostalgia and nostalgia.
Rong Wan sat down in the main hall again, and I don't know how long later, a person came in, and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, so he sat next to her, and said, "Awan." ”
Rong Wan came back to her senses and saw that it was Luo Jingyu, so she said, "Brother." ”
"What are you thinking?" Luo Jingyu straightened his sleeves and asked.
Rong Wan shook her head, "I didn't think about anything." ”
Luo Jingyu seemed to think of something, and then said, "Since we arrived in Beijing, we haven't seen Uncle Xun Guo, is there something wrong with him?" ”
Rong Wan paused slightly and said, "Maybe." ”
Since she left the palace, she hadn't seen Xun Zhan again, she thought, maybe Xun Zhan had gone to arrange Luo Yun's corpse, I don't know if the valley they were talking about was extremely far away.
Speaking of this, Luo Jingyu stood up and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, don't be here." ”
Rong Wan nodded and followed.
Jiangnan Water Town, on a lake, there is a light boat, on the light boat stands a man in black, drifting with the wind, floating where it is, dragging a box in his hand, reaching out and grabbing some white powder, scattered with the wind.
Xun Zhan looked at the green mountains and green waters in these places, and his mood was still heavy, "Big brother, I brought you here to the Jiangnan you like, are you still satisfied here?" ”
"I know that you don't want to fight, it's just that hatred drives you, so that you have to move forward step by step, and from then on, you will sleep here, worry-free in the world."
As the sky grew darker, and the boat was already reluctant to shore, he jumped from the boat to the shore with a light tiptoe, and the man in black on the shore immediately followed him.
Xun Zhan finally glanced at the lake again before asking, "What's going on in Bianjing?" ”
The man replied in turn, "The five princes have ascended the throne, the elders of the three dynasties have assisted the government, and at the same time appointed Meng Sheng as the deputy minister, and Mrs. Luo plans to choose a relative for the Luo family's lady, and the Luo family's lady has agreed." ”
Xun Zhan's pupils shrank slightly, and he just said, "Go back!" ”
The man in black answered yes and went to lead the horse. (To be continued.) )
