Chapter 181: Turning Point
The sky was dark and gloomy, the clouds were thick, there was no wind, and it was almost breathless.
Suddenly lightning lit up the dim mountains, and a thunderclap exploded among the clouds, and large raindrops fell down and splashed on the ground with a loud clatter.
Soon the curtain of rain fell on the eaves, and the rainwater on the ground collected into a stream and flowed into the ditch.
The sky and the earth are white.
Xiao Yu sat in front of the window and looked at the rain outside, and suddenly remembered the verdant plantain in Changle Villa. The weather has been relatively hot these days, and because she is worried about the marriage, she has been a little depressed and uneasy. Now that the heavy rain has fallen, she has calmed down a lot.
Cool moisture wafted in through the open window, dispelling the heat.
Hearing the news of the marriage yesterday, Xiao Yu only felt that there was only chaos left in her head, resistance, panic, anxiety and irritability made her restless, unable to sleep and eat, and she didn't know what to do at all, and Ling Yan and the others couldn't listen to the comfort and persuasion.
Ling Yan also regretted it a little at that time. She first heard the news that Li Qi intended to ask Xiao Yu to be the side concubine, and then saw that her brother and Zhong Lang were discussing the marriage, so she was in a hurry, so she hurriedly came to Xiao's house, and she didn't ask carefully.
So seeing Xiao Yu so anxious, Ling Yan comforted a few words, and hurried back to the house to inquire.
And Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yu, seeing that she didn't think about tea and dinner, her brows were tightly locked, and she was also very anxious.
Xiao Yu knew that it was not a way for him to be so anxious, but when he thought that now that the imperial power was greater than the sky, and the holy decree had been issued, it was impossible to make Emperor Qi take it back, and he suddenly hated himself very much for why he wanted to be in the limelight in the first place.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Although most of the daughters of other famous families will not think so, they will think that this is a good thing for cooking oil and flowers.
But when it fell on Xiao Yu's head, it was like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky.
Not to mention that she has never seen the king of Thailand, Li Qi, and she doesn't know what his virtues are. Even if he is a good person, it is not what she wants after all.
Xiao Yu had never seriously considered what kind of person he would marry in the future, but when he heard the news of marriage. She immediately thought of Hua Yue, and then found that there was already such a man in her heart who occupied a large area.
At this time, in Xiao Yu's heart, there is no man who can compare with Hua Yue.
What's more, the king of Thailand already has a concubine. To put it bluntly, the side concubine is just equivalent to a concubine's room.
Xiao Yu couldn't tolerate her husband's three wives and four concubines, not to mention that there was a main room above, and she couldn't accept this marriage no matter what.
However, the will of God cannot be violated.
If the imperial decree had been issued, Xiao Yu knew that she would never be able to resist the decree or let Emperor Qi retract the decree. Even if Hua Yue hadn't refused when Emperor Qi opened his mouth to propose marriage, and had already made an order, it is estimated that Emperor Qi would not have changed his words.
Xiao Yu sighed.
Yesterday evening, Ling Yan sent a message, saying that she had confirmed from Ling Yi that the Holy Lord had indeed issued a decree to marry Xiao Yu and had sent it to the Xiao Mansion in Lanling.
And the Thai king Li Qi's interest in Xiao Yu also spread after that.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his eyebrows.
The capital is 108,000 miles away from Yuedi, and the news is coming, and the envoy who delivered the decree does not know where to go. Fortunately, this matter is not an emergency military situation, and the person who was ordered to do the errand wanted to come all the way, and also to reap some benefits from local officials. It is estimated that the trip is not fast.
And the news transmission on Ling Yi's side has always been fast, maybe now that the envoy has not arrived in Changzhou, the matter of Kyoto's marriage has spread to Lingnan.
Xiao Yu can only buy this little time.
Since the holy decree has been issued, she proposed that there was a marriage agreement but it would not work, not to mention that no one could be found to cheat in a hurry, even if Hua Yue was willing, I am afraid that Emperor Qi would not believe it, and I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the crime of bullying the king at that time...... Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the tolerance of Hua Yue on the dragon chair, and a glimmer of hope was born in his heart.
Although I don't know why Emperor Qi is so different from Hua Yue, maybe he can condone Hua Yue to the point of pretending to believe that the two have a marriage contract?
But Hua Yue is not here now. I don't know when I'll be back.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
The marriage contract is unlikely to come true, so how can she not marry Li Qi? Xiao Yu thought about it for a long time and came to a conclusion that made her discouraged: unless she died. Otherwise, the holy decree has been issued, and she will have to go to Li Qi as a side concubine no matter what.
An idea popped up in Xiao Yu's heart: Could it be that she wants to pretend to be dead?
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The wind brought water mist in, and Xiao Yu felt a chill.
The capital is the center of the world, and any disturbance there will be passed to the hands of their masters by the eyes and ears of all forces.
Therefore, in addition to the General's Mansion in Yuedi, the Jingnan County Palace's side also received the news of Emperor Qi's decree to give marriage.
Although it is said that if Xiao Yu is given to marry the King of Thailand Li Qi. Then Li Ying doesn't have to worry about what Hua Yue thinks about Xiao Yu, but thinking that the village girl in the past has become a famous daughter, and in the blink of an eye, she was named the county lord because of her meritorious service, and she is of the same grade as her, and now she has such a good family affair, or the holy decree to give marriage, Li Ying is uncomfortable.
Why can a little peasant girl fly up a high branch and become a phoenix?
Li Ying remembered that she begged her mother to let her brother ask the saint to marry her and Hua Yue, but the saint rejected it, and was reprimanded by her grandmother.
But Xiao Yu only planted a little land, and the children of the family came to the door one after another to propose marriage, and now they have been married by the saint and are concubines with the prince!
Why?!
The more Li Ying thought about it, the more angry she became, and with a wave of her sleeve, she swept the cup on the table to the ground.
After a while, Li Ying, who had calmed down, called the frightened maid next to her and asked her to hurry up and call Zhao Jing over.
Zhao Jing was also jealous after getting the news, and quickly informed Qin Guangyu.
Compared with Li Ying, Zhao Jing is even more jealous of Xiao Yu. Just because Li Ying is a noble county lord, Xiao Yu is just on an equal footing with her, although she has won the favor of the King of Thailand this time, she is just a side concubine in the end. The reason why Li Ying was resentful was that Xiao Yu, who was born as a peasant girl, should only be married to a village husband, but in fact, she really didn't look down on this prince's side concubine.
In Li Ying's heart, there is no other man who can compare to Hua Yue.
And Zhao Jing's original identity was much higher than Xiao Yu, but now she is a lot shorter than Xiao Yu, and now such a good relative is what she dreams of but can't get, so she hates it in her heart.
Even looking at Qin Guangyu is not so pleasing to the eye.
Qin Guangyu didn't have a good face when he heard the news, it wasn't because of the woman's shallow jealousy, he thought that after the title of the gold list in the future, his identity would be higher than that of a woman who relied on her family background and men to get face, but before in the court, it was the king of Thailand who spoke for him, if Xiao Yu married and was favored, would he blow the pillow wind because of this?
But everyone was worried.
One day later, Hua Yue returned from outside, Xiao Yu went to Changle Villa, plucked up the courage to tell him about the marriage contract, and finally said it, only to see the handsome man opposite looking up and smiling slightly.
Xiao Yu suddenly blushed and couldn't say any more.
But I heard Hua Yue smile and said: "Then the holy decree was originally for you and me to marry, why do you want to get a fake marriage contract?" (To be continued.) )
