167: The beauty of the country
Suddenly there was a long procession in the capital, singing all the way, playing all kinds of musical instruments, and in the middle of the procession there was a large sedan chair, carried by eight people, and the sedan chair was open all around, and only a big red gauze tent hung down.
I could vaguely see a graceful woman sitting inside, with a red veil hanging in front of the woman, a pair of beautiful eyes, shining brightly, provoking the people on the road to cheer again and again.
Ling Ran, I'm here......
Mu Huanyan went to the street today to choose some jewelry and fabrics for the Huang family, and happened to encounter this scene, Huang and Huan Yan are not the kind of people who like to watch the excitement, so they still entered the Jade Pavilion according to the original plan, Cui Yu Xuan is a jewelry store, as soon as you enter the door, all kinds of decorations come into view.
It's just that there is no one in the store.
Huang said: "Huan Yan, since there is no one, let's go to another place to have a look." ”
"Don't go, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm sorry." The shopkeeper ran in from the outside in a hurry, he thought they were all watching on the street, no one entered the store, so he also went out to see the excitement, just saw two people into the store, and hurried back.
"Shopkeeper, we are here to see the jewelry, can you introduce it, is there a new style, it is more elegant, suitable for my mother's temperament."
"Come this way." The shopkeeper led them to another counter, and said, "Madam, Miss, it's so lively outside, why don't you go and take a look, I heard that it is the princess from Xiangguo, it is really a beautiful country." ”
"The princess from Xiangguo?" Mu Huanyan raised his eyebrows, could it be that he came to kiss again? Last time. Princess Anguo came to kiss and was accepted into the harem by Ling Shu, it seems that he has another Yanfu this time, and Xiangguo sent another princess.
"This royal matter has nothing to do with us, we are just here to see the jewelry." Mu Huanyan didn't want to disturb the time to choose jewelry for the Huang family, and she was not curious about things outside.
"Okay, miss, look here, this counter is full of elegant and temperamental ornaments, which are very suitable for this lady."
A small duck blood jade necklace quickly entered Mu Huanyan's eyes. The clothes Wong has always worn are very light colors. It must look good with this.
"Shopkeeper, take this out and take a look."
"Okay, Miss, you really have a vision, this piece of duck blood jade is just like this in the whole capital." The shopkeeper grinned and took out the necklace. It was handed over to Mu Huanyan's hands.
"Mother. I'll bring it for you. See how it goes? ”
Huang tried it, and Huan Yan said that she thought it was good and chose good jewelry. I went to make a few sets of clothes, and most of the day passed, and the two went home.
At dinner, Mu Yaotian also came back from the palace and dined in Zhipingju.
Mu Yaotian said: "Today, the princess of Xiangguo has entered the palace, but the princess is really beautiful, I really didn't expect that after Chu Yichen, who was high-spirited on the battlefield, ascended the throne, she would also send a princess over to make peace." ”
Huang just smiled faintly, and Mu Huanyan said with a smile: "The emperor is not shallow. ”
"You'd be wrong." Mu Yaotian took a bite of the dish and continued: "The princess of Xiangguo and the object of her relatives are the crown prince, it seems that when I ordered my class to return to the court, the emperor agreed to this matter, and the emperor is too, why didn't he tell us, and I didn't know until people entered the palace." ”
Mu Yaotian said this, in fact, he also wanted to see how Huan Yan expressed himself, after all, the prince had affection for her, and he had long seen it, but now the situation is a little chaotic, which prince will continue to be on the throne in the future, it is difficult to say, when the court discussed in the morning, the emperor also mentioned it, and it seemed that he intended to crown the imperial concubine as the queen.
The affairs of the DPRK and China are changing rapidly, and Mu Yaotian still feels that it is better to act cautiously.
It turned out to be a relationship with the prince? The last time Du Guanyue's incident caused such a big turmoil, I don't know what he will do this time? Maybe the emperor didn't tell him in advance, because he was worried that this matter would change.
Mu Huanyan didn't speak, just continued to bury her head in eating.
Mu Yaotian didn't say anything anymore, and after eating, Mu Huanyan got up to say goodbye.
This time, it was surprising that Ling Ran didn't come to her.
The next day, the news of the marriage between the prince and the princess of Xiangguo came, which was set for ten days later.
After three days in a row, Ling Ran finally couldn't hold it back, and secretly ran to Mufu in the middle of the night to find Huanyan, but fortunately, she was just lying on the bed and hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Ling Ran ran into the fence so that he didn't alarm others.
"Why are you here?"
Ling Ran pursed her lips, walked to the head of her bed, sat down, closed her eyes for a long time before slowly opening them, and squeezed out a smile on her face, "Huan Yan, I'm going to get married." ”
"Well, I know, I heard that, congratulations."
Mu Huanyan's tone was very natural, speaking of which, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her at all, and it was this naturalness that made Ling Ran's heart ache for a while.
"Huan Yan, is that all you have to say to me?" Ling Ran was still a little unwilling.
Mu Huanyan smiled, "Princess Xiangguo must be very beautiful, when she entered Beijing that day, I happened to see her on the street, but I didn't see her face clearly." ”
"You know her and you've seen her."
"How can I know Princess Xiangguo, you're laughing."
Ling Ran tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "She is Yueyue, Chu Yiyue, the Yiyue princess of Xiangguo. ”
"Is that her?" Mu Huanyan never thought that Yueyue of Wanhua Pavilion would be Princess Yiyue.
"I'm sorry, Huan Yan, I can't help it, my father has made a holy decree, the two countries have exchanged national credentials, and there is no room for maneuver."
"How can you tell me I'm sorry, this is a good thing, now that you have Princess Yiyue, it is equivalent to having the backer of Xiangguo behind you, and your chances of ascending the throne in the future are greater, isn't it? Besides, that Princess Yiyue should also have feelings for you, she is also the one who is a princess, and after you become a parent, she should know how to help you. ”
Ling Ran became more and more frustrated, "You really don't understand what I mean?" Huan Yan, do you really not understand or pretend not to understand? ”
How could she not understand what he meant, it's just that she has long passed the age of believing in love, maybe Ling Ran is sincere now, so what about the future? Will he still be the same?
Putting these aside, even if the two of them really love each other, it is impossible for them to be together because of their identity, unless Ling Ran gives up the one that belongs to him.
Suddenly, a small thought popped up in Mu Huanyan's mind.
She tried to say: "Ling Ran, it's not that I don't understand, I understand your intentions, it's just that we, it's really impossible, Princess Yiyue is undoubtedly a good choice." ”
"However, the person I want has always been you, and the person I love is also you, Huanyan, I really hate that I will live so inautonomously."
Mu Huanyan stretched out his hand to hold Ling Ran's hand and looked at him with affection.
"Yes, you said that the person you love is me, so are you willing to abandon Yiqiē and go to a place where there are only the two of us?"
Mu Huanyan wanted to know how Ling Ran would answer.
He held her hand tightly, pleasantly surprised, could it be that Huan Yan's heart also loved him? It's just that he never thought about it yet.
"Would you like to?" Huan Yan continued to ask.
"Huan Yan, if we love each other, do we have to abandon a qiē? Although I am going to marry Yiyue as the crown princess now, if you are willing to marry me, I can ask my father to let you be my side concubine, and when I inherit the throne in the future, I can hold the power, and I will immediately crown you as the queen, we are the two most honorable people, and at that time, I can also abolish the six palaces for you, and you will grow old alone. ”
When Mu Huanyan heard this, she just smiled faintly and retracted her hand.
He was not destined to be her beloved.
"Huan Yan, don't you want to wait for that day? You also know my current situation, the last words of the queen mother, I want to complete, as the crown prince, I must be the emperor of this prosperous country. ”
"You still really want to be the emperor, right?"
"Of course, if you are not the emperor, how can I marry you and give you the best life?" Ling Ran said from the bottom of his heart, how much he hoped that Huan Yan could understand him.
However, this is not the result that Huan Yan wants.
Men often want to ask for the country and the beauty together, but forget about it, what the beauty wants is only the man who loves her, not the country, she doesn't need the country, she just needs to have a lover who cherishes each other, which is equivalent to having the whole world.
"Ling Ran, it's getting late, you can't stay here any longer, in case people find out, the word has reached Princess Yiyue, it's not good for everyone, you can leave quickly."
"Huan Yan, have you really never liked me?" Ling Ran's face was full of grief.
"Maybe there is one thing that you never knew, I have no tears, no heart, no idea what love is." After she said this, she hung her head.
Ling Ran then remembered that since he met Huan Yan, he had never seen her shed a single tear.
"Even if it's a stone, there will be a day when it's hot, Huanyan, are you really a stone that can't be hot?"
"Don't waste any more feelings on me, I'm not worth it."
"Good, good, good." Ling Ran said a few good words in a row, but he didn't know, Huan Yan's refusal had already made him feel painful.
Before leaving, Ling Ran said, "Can I hug you?" ”
Mu Huanyan didn't say anything, he hugged her into his arms, kissed her hair with pity, and muttered: "Wait for me, I will find a country for you, so that you only belong to me, and I only belong to you......"
I don't want the country, really, I never want the country! In his previous life, for Ling Mo to saddle the horse, just because he loved him wholeheartedly, not because of the queenship he promised, what he hated was that he used me and deceived me in my life. Ling Ran, you may never understand how I feel.
Your answer tonight has already told me, we are people from different worlds and have different values, how can we come together.
Ling Ran, take care, in the future, you and I can only be allies, I will help you ascend to the throne of God and crush Ling Mo's ambitions, that is, I will leave here and live a life that truly belongs to me. (To be continued......)
