Chapter 413: A Defeat [Extra]
In the palace, the lanterns lit all the way, Lan Tianhang came to the banquet with a cold face and sat down after meeting the old emperor, his eyes slightly glanced at the woman in the banquet below, he knew that it was the granddaughter of General Zhenbei.
The same old tricks of the palace banquet are naturally still a lot here, Lan Tianhang sat bored, only the old emperor often chatted with General Zhenbei, and from time to time there were ministers who caught up with him.
And the woman beside him just sat quietly, never even looking at Lan Tianhang from beginning to end, which made him quite curious.
This was the first woman who did not set her eyes on him, and he could praise that she had indeed succeeded in attracting his attention.
"Haha...... I don't know if this Suxue girl has a marriage match? The old emperor glanced at her shrewdly, and then glanced at Lan Tianhang without a trace.
For these, Lan Tianhang turned a deaf ear and didn't pay attention to it at all, but his appearance of ignoring it and sitting upright made General Zhenbei even more impressed.
He has always stayed at the border, in fact, he doesn't come to the capital often, so he is really not familiar with this prince, but it is rumored that this prince is proficient in everything, and the paintings he has made are rare in Shikoku.
He looked at his granddaughter beside him lovingly, and said to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, Xue'er has been following the old minister, and she has not yet been married, and the old minister is reluctant, but now that this granddaughter has grown up, she can't keep it if she is reluctant!" As he spoke, he sighed, the reluctance in his tone was true, he only had such a granddaughter, if he didn't love her, who would he love?
Now that he is old, he naturally has to do his best to find her an excellent man who can replace him and continue to love his granddaughter, so that he can go to see his son and daughter-in-law under the Nine Springs.
"I look at this girl and like it tightly, since I haven't married yet, then I'll be the master today! Aiqing, what do you think? The old emperor asked with a smile.
"One qiē, but the emperor is in charge!" General Zhenbei bowed his head respectfully, and Su Xue beside him also bowed his head, her attitude showed a qiē, so the old emperor was even happier.
"Hahahaha, okay, I have seven sons, but there is also the position of the concubine, it is Hang'er, if you match this pair today, it can be regarded as a match made in heaven!"
"Hang'er, what do you think?" The old emperor set his sights on Lan Tianhang.
Lan Tianhang glanced at the woman who was silent, with a slight coldness in her eyes, "Miss Su Xue has an excellent appearance and good character, so Erchen naturally has no opinion." ”
"Well, yes, then this matter is settled, I have seen it, the twenty-second of next month is a good day, and the two of you will get married on that day!"
"Yes, Father!"
"Command! Thank you for your grace, long live long live long live! ”
The people around me didn't react, anyway, they already knew, so they were surprised?
The other princes didn't react much, they all had concubines, and they were kicked out of the scope of marriage early in the morning, they were afraid of blocking Lan Tianhang's way, but now Lan Tianhang himself gave up the battle for the throne, and he was afraid that they would use the marriage to strengthen themselves, so he still stuffed all the useful people into Lan Tianhang.
Last time, it was Zuo Xiang's daughter, he originally wanted to give a concubine, but Lan Tianhang didn't agree, and was only willing to give a side concubine, but this time it was different.
The general of this town is his henchman who followed him to fight the country earlier, and his son died on the battlefield, and now there is only such a lone seedling left, how can he not arrange her?
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the position of the concubine, which made the general of Zhenbei also relieved, and the position of the concubine was the royal family's respect for his granddaughter and respect for him. As far as he knew, the eldest lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have this honor, she was just a side concubine.
Lan Tianhang pulled the corners of his mouth, said nothing, raised his glass, and looked at the woman with drooping eyes, with an unknown meaning in his eyes.
……
In the east court, Xiao Jiuyin locked himself in the Deqing Palace every day except for the court, the current Deqing Palace is different from the Deqing Palace in the past, now, the inner hall is covered with layers of black cloth, in front of the big bed there is a frame, and there is a painting hanging in front of the frame, which is under the willow moon.
In the dark, it was like a real person sitting there, with cold eyebrows and eyes, just like the familiar appearance of his old days.
"Yue'er, it's good to have you!" Xiao Jiuyin looked up at her, then lowered his head again, there was a faint light on the desk in front of him, and he held a pen and reviewed the folds.
Under the light, he looked up from time to time, looked at the moon and said the last sentence, sometimes smiling, sometimes sighing.
"Alas, you see, this loyal and brave marquis impeached his own in-laws and mistreated his daughter. Tell me, this kind of trivial thing is also presented, have they been too idle lately? Xiao Jiuyin looked at the moon, "Yue'er, how do you say I should judge?" ”
The woman in the painting didn't speak, but the eyes seemed to tell him the answer, "If it were Yue'er, you would definitely be the master for him, wouldn't you?" Then I'll make decisions for him, okay? He looked at her, asked her, and in a few words he lowered his head and lifted his pen.
"They are all my courtiers, and I don't want to see them kill each other, so I sentenced them to be separated, and then at this year's Qixi banquet, I personally pointed out a marriage for her, so it can be regarded as the best of both worlds, isn't it just what you want?"
"I know that you seem to be indifferent, but in fact you are kind-hearted, are you very happy that I do this!" He smiled, put down his pen, and gently stroked her face.
"I miss you so much! Morning and twilight, in my mind, all of you are your figure, have you ever come back to see me? Xiao Jiuyin crossed the desk and sat in front of her, looking at her carefully.
"You are so beautiful, I have ever seen the most beautiful woman, and the most heartwarming woman, attracting my eyes and touching my heart, all the time!"
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely cherish her well, instead of pushing her to Mu Huaqian with his own hands. He had thought that she loved him and that no one could change him.
But he was wrong, he miscalculated, she was a woman who treated herself more ruthlessly than the enemy, and would rather be completely hurt once than let go of him completely.
By the time he had decided the overall situation, and when he looked back, she had already fallen in love with someone else, and she had never given him any chance to object, or even let him know.
It's so inexplicable, and it's a complete loss.
Even if he has this country now, what if he has it? But he lost her, forever and ever, never again, never to see her smile again, no longer to see her figure......
