1st Episode: Meeting the Empress (4)
Xiao Chen glanced at the obvious loneliness on her face, and then said slowly: "General Du personally went to this recital, Your Majesty is not a person who is not open, as long as you and the prince can love each other, this palace and Your Majesty will already be happy." However, after all, the palace is the palace, and the rules, etiquette, traditions, etc. that should be there cannot be abolished, and they are not comparable to small border towns. If Miss Du really wants to become the crown princess, I am afraid that this good martial arts will be useless. ”
Biwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how could such a reckless woman who didn't know how to be polite could become the crown princess! Even if you don't love the prince very much, it is impossible to perfunctory a woman like this as the prince's wife!
Unlike Biwen, Du Yunjin didn't think that Xiao Chen's words meant rejection, but rather a kind of discussion, just like the tone of the dog Rong and Crescent City people he had seen on the border when they bartered things. Thinking in another direction, Xiao Chen is hinting to her that her marriage with the prince has a drama, and she just wants her to pay something.
Her eyes wandered, and she never saw a trace of loneliness. Xiao Chen knew that she had listened carefully to her words, so she turned sideways and whispered softly to Biwen. Biwen was stunned at first, and then quietly hid any feelings, and silently turned to the inner room.
A moment later, Biwen reappeared and returned to Xiao Chen's side with the agarwood box in his hand.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes and swept Biwen, and Biwen held the box in front of Du Yunjin again.
What is this? Du Yunjin couldn't figure it out, and secretly glanced at Xiao Chen's before receiving the box into his hand.
"This thing is called 'Dream Break', and once you take it, you will lose your martial arts."
Her voice is still pleasant, but in Du Yunjin's ears, it is like deep Tan water that has not seen the sun all year round, seeping cold.
Martial arts are lost! A body of martial arts is her proud capital, and it is also her reliance to realize her promise back then! If she didn't have this martial arts, would she still be the daughter of the arrogant Du family in Crescent City? If she didn't have this martial arts, would she still be able to pick him off the horse and make him her husband?
She suddenly felt that her knees, which had been kneeling, began to ache unscrupulously, and suddenly felt that this overly ornate main hall was too cold, and it was already the warm weather when the willow trees were sprouting sprouts outside, but it was bitterly cold here.
Du Yunjin didn't reply, and Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to urge, still fiddling with the bead string on Hao's wrist, waiting quietly.
She gave Du Yunjin the opportunity to choose, whether she wanted the pride of that body or the fame and fortune of prostrate under power. This girl who rushed back from the frontier, in her heart, is martial arts or the prince important?
But once you choose, there is no room for regret.
Her gaze crossed Du Yunjin, who was kneeling in the hall, and kept looking at the vermilion hall door, I don't know what kind of scene it will be outside now? Is there still a sugar gourd for sale on Zhuzi Street in the east, is there still a scholar who goes to the examination in Fuqin Alley in the west, and is there still a teenager leading a horse under the willow tree on the shore of the unknown lake in the north......
This is not an easy choice, Du Yunjin bit his lip tightly and lowered his eyes.
In the overly quiet main hall, Biwen, who was waiting on the side, looked at Du Yunjin in front of her contemptuously, if she refused to accept this thing, it would be the best, so that she could choose the right concubine for the prince again!
Xiao Chen's eyes swept over Du Yunjin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and the smugness between his eyebrows flashed. She stretched out her hand to Biwen, and Shi Shiran got up.
"Well, it doesn't hurt if you go back and think about it." Xiao Chen's footsteps from afar, he looked back at Du Yunjin, and said softly: "This palace is waiting for your answer." ”
