Chapter Ninety-Six: Failure to Refuse Marriage
Bow and thank Yan Lan, swallowing the pink ticket of Wu Fei......
***********
"No, the mandarin duck hasn't gone to the kitchen yet, and on the way, I met a post handed over by a little maid, and the slave saw that the payment was Master Shui Jingchen, so she hurriedly sent it to the girl." As he spoke, he handed over the post with both hands.
Qing Jin heard Mandarin Duck's words, his expression froze, he took the post in Mandarin Duck's hand, and after reading it, he stood up and said to Mandarin Duck: "Let's go, let's go to Panruo Temple immediately." As he spoke, he stood up and walked past the mandarin duck.
When the mandarin duck saw Qing Jin walking out, he immediately followed, and the two of them came to the gate of the temple in a carriage, got off the carriage, and Qing Jin walked into the temple with the mandarin duck.
Just when Qing Jin walked into the Panruo Temple with the mandarin duck, the malicious remarks about Qing Jin in the capital were induced and suppressed by the thunderous means of a well-intentioned person, and the wind direction reversed.
Soon after Qing Jin walked into the temple, a small novice greeted Qing Jin and the mandarin duck, saying that Master Shui Jingchen was in the back mountain, and asked him to take the two female benefactors to the back mountain.
Qing Jin and Mandarin Duck followed the little novice to the back mountain of the temple, and the little novice left without a trace.
Finding that Xiao Shami left without a trace, Qing Jin swept her eyes, and did not see Shui Jingchen who sent her a post, but saw a man in white, Qing Jin subconsciously became vigilant and wanted to turn around and leave, but looking at the figure with his back to her, it seemed to be a little indescribably familiar.
Glancing at the mandarin ducks, when Qing Jin was a little hesitant, she saw that the white-clothed man with his back to them had turned around, wearing a plain white robe, only embroidering a few green bamboos at the hem, the familiar face was handsome, and the familiar was as elegant as bamboo. The one who was in the light of the lamp chuckled and said to her: The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy; The person who stood in a long robe under the fireworks in the sky, promised her a couple for a lifetime, a gentleman, and a promise.
promised to give her a perfect, wordless, fairytale-like beauty and picturesque that belonged to Gu Qingjin. Love that can stand up to scrutiny and is packaged with sweet words actually begins with deception.
Looking at the person in front of him, he is still noble and elegant. But Qing Jin knew that it was different after all. Who would have thought. The person who used to be opposite to her day and night, and said those words to her, even had a fake identity?
The past flashed in her mind one by one, Qing Jin didn't know what identity to use, what tone to say to the person in front of her, when Emperor Dao Ming's inexplicable holy decree came down, her first reaction was to ask the maid around her to find this person. At that time, she was full of hope, but all the Qiē was completely subverted that day, the one who had promised her under the lights and fireworks in the sky. The person who made her couldn't help but be touched was fake.
When she heard the news in the temple that day, she was shocked and unbelievable, if she saw this person at that time, she had a lot of words and many questions to ask, but so many people she sent out, she couldn't find this person, thinking that she would never see this person again, but she didn't expect this person to appear at this time, Qing Jin was in a complicated mood, but her face was faintly said to the person in front of her: "It's you?" ”
"It's me!" Shui ruthlessly looked at Qing Jin on the other side, and when he heard Qing Jin's question, he replied lightly.
"Shall I call you the young patriarch? Or cousin? Qing Jin heard his equally indifferent reply, and couldn't help but say sarcastically, this person, she really regards her as a relative and a cousin.
"I'm sorry!" Shui ruthlessly heard Qing Jin's sarcastic words and sincerely apologized.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if anything, what do you need the police to do? Qing Jin wanted to shout this sentence to the person opposite, but she didn't know why, she didn't say anything in the end, just looked at the person opposite lightly.
Shui Wuru originally thought that the girl opposite would lose her temper with him, but he didn't expect that the person opposite didn't say anything, just stubbornly and looked at him lightly.
He walked in front of the person opposite, raised his head and touched her hair dotingly as usual, thinking that according to Qing Jin's character, he would definitely be avoided, but he saw that Qing Jin was motionless, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Seeing that Qing Jin didn't dodge, Shui Ruthless's hand put on Qing Jin's hair, and smiled at Qing Jin's gentle and elegant smile: "I am Shui Ruthless, the young patriarch of the Wu clan in Southern Xinjiang, of course, you can also call me...... Cousin. ”
"Cousin?" Qing Jin sneered, with indifference in the corners of her eyes, "I don't dare to climb the young patriarch of Southern Xinjiang as my cousin." ”
"I knew you would say that, I really am your cousin." Shui ruthlessly heard Qing Jin's words, and said to Qing Jin with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mandarin duck, let's go!" Qing Jin opened her mouth to the mandarin duck next to her, and no longer looked at the water on the other side, who said that it was her cousin, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Your aunt is my cousin, so you can call me cousin too." Seeing that Qing Jin was about to leave, Shui ruthlessly said it directly without selling Guan Zi anymore.
Hearing Shui's ruthless words, Qing Jin's footsteps paused, and she turned back to Shui Ruthlessly and said, "Your Excellency's aunt is really many. ”
"I just have two aunts, one must you already know, it is Shui Jingchen's mother concubine, and the other is your aunt, my aunt and cousin are a pair of cousins who are very similar, but unfortunately my aunt was deceived by the emperor of Dajing many years ago, and entered the palace as a concubine, and her face was ......."
"I remember that you called my mother and aunt......" Qing Jin interrupted Shui's ruthless words.
Shui ruthlessly heard Qing Jin's words, turned around and smiled at Qing Jin, knowing that Qing Jin was comforting him, there was gentleness in his eyes, and after a while, his expression was stern, and he said to Qing Jin: "Something happened in the clan a few days ago, I went back, but I didn't expect it...... I ...... that day Everything that has been said to you is true. Shui ruthlessly finally said this to Qing Jin.
Qing Jin looked up at Shui Ruthless, and in Shui Ruthless's sincere gaze, she understood the meaning of Shui Ruthless, a little surprised, a little sluggish, and asked rhetorically: "Which day?" What else is true? ”
"On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, I said to my cousin that we have always been monogamous in southern Xinjiang, and what I said is true." Shui ruthlessly spoke directly to Qing Jin without making a detour.
Hearing Shui Ruthless's outspoken words, Qing Jin looked directly at Shui Ruthless: "You should know, the emperor has married me and King Jing!" ”
"I know, but my cousin doesn't want to marry King Jing as a side concubine, does she?"
Hearing Shui Ruthless's words, Qing Jin's eyes lit up, and she asked Shui Ruthlessly, "What does Cousin want to do?" ”
"I will propose to the emperor of Dajing in the name of southern Xinjiang, what does my cousin think?"
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study
Emperor Ming looked at Gu Qingjin who was kneeling in green clothes with a sense of oppression, his face was cold, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he spoke in a deep and deep voice to Qingjin who was bowing his head below: "You dare to resist the decree and refuse to marry?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers don't dare, but the courtiers have a marriage contract, and the courtiers are not worthy of King Jing." Hearing Emperor Ming's words, Qing Jin tried his best to resist the imperial power exuded by Emperor Ming, and lowered his head and said to Emperor Ming word by word.
After saying these words, the hall was surprisingly calm, but Qing Jin felt that the pressure of the emperor above was getting heavier, but she knew that this was her only chance, and she couldn't retreat, so she quietly knelt on the ground and waited for Emperor Ming's next move.
Just when Qing Jin felt that the imperial power was getting heavier and heavier, and she was about to be crushed the next moment, the first Emperor Ming took the imperial power on his body and stood up from behind the imperial case
Emperor Ming looked at Gu Qingjin, who was kneeling respectfully, and said lightly: "In the past, the first emperor was exiled for some reason, and when he was seriously injured, he met a woman, the woman took in the first emperor, and found a doctor in the clan to cure the first emperor's serious injury, during the first emperor's treatment, the first emperor and the woman had feelings for each other, and when the first emperor recovered, he wanted to take the woman to leave together, only to know that the woman was the daughter of the local patriarch, and the place where the first emperor recuperated was the southern Xinjiang, the southern Xinjiang witch tribe, which has always been mysterious, escaped from the world, men and women in the clan, Follow the monogamous ......
The first emperor took the woman back to Dajing, and the woman found out that the first emperor had a harem of 3,000, and she was heartbroken and wanted to leave...... However, the first emperor did not let her go, and the woman was depressed in the harem...... Later, the news of the woman came back to southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang sent people to pick up the woman Hui, and the first emperor was furious, and since then, southern Xinjiang and Dajing have become hostile......"
Qing Jin heard Emperor Ming tell her this story, and at first she didn't understand what Emperor Ming meant, but it wasn't until Emperor Ming's words fell that Qing Jin really understood what Emperor Ming wanted to express.
However, she didn't understand, she bit her lips tightly, and said to Emperor Ming: "The courtiers don't understand the meaning of Your Majesty." ”
"Gu Qingjin, don't tell me that you don't know what the true identity of "Jun Muxi" who was very close to the Anji Hou Mansion some time ago, there is news from Lingnan that Jun Muxi has never left Lingnan, and he has a marriage contract. ”
Hearing Emperor Ming's words, Qing Jin raised her head and looked directly at Emperor Ming, wanting to see something from Emperor Ming's face, in fact, she already knew in her heart that Emperor Ming was afraid of the Jun family, and it was impossible for her to marry into southern Xinjiang.
"What? Do you still want to refuse marriage, do you think that my three princes are not worthy of you? Or do you think that I dare not cure the sins of the Jun family and the Anji Hou Mansion? ”
"The courtiers don't dare." Hearing Emperor Ming's words, Qing Jin bent down.
Seeing Gu Qingjin bowing his head, Emperor Ming nodded with satisfaction, "It's okay if you don't dare, you can retreat!" ”
"The courtiers are retired!"
Qing Jin was dressed in green clothes, walked out of the imperial study, couldn't help sighing, and finally came to this point, going around and around, since fate is like this, pushing her on this road, then she can only go down, she also thought about escaping marriage, but where to escape? In this era of feudal monarchy, the most important thing is that she can't let go of the family behind her. In her previous life, she had already owed her relatives around her, how could she bear to be burdened with these relatives she wanted to compensate for and owe because of her in this life?
