Nangong Meng leaned back on the chair, thinking about the first encounter that year, and a line of tears slowly slid down his cheeks, "Ah Ding, you always said that you fell in love with me at first sight." How am I not to you? It's a pity that fate makes people, and you and I are divided into two places after all. How good would it be if life was always as it was when we first saw each other, we would never grow up, and we would always be together as if we were on the cliff of broken intestines? ”

"Mother, why are you crying again?" Xiaolan walked in with a basin of hot water, "I heard that the emperor didn't turn over any concubines' signs tonight, but went to the cold palace alone." Rest sooner. ”

"Went to the cold palace?" Nangong Meng was a little puzzled, and his thoughts hadn't been pulled back from the past.

"Well, I heard that I went to see the rain lady." Xiaolan whispered, "It's the rain concubine who has been in the cold palace for ten years." ”

"Oh. That's also a poor person, it is said that the emperor loved her very much. Nangong Meng stood up, took the hot handkerchief handed by Xiaolan, and sighed, "Since ancient times, kings have been the most ruthless", the sensitive nerves in his heart were poked again, and his expression dimmed again.

This night, Nangong Meng tossed and turned, remembering the conversation between his father and himself before he got married.

One day in the late spring of the 879th year of Yue Liguo, Nangong Jue returned to the mansion and called Nangong Meng into the study.

"Meng'er, Daddy is sorry for you, I can't protect you, this dear, you are settled." Nangong is never in the position of prime minister before he is forty, and he is deeply respected by Yuwen Ao, and he has always been high-spirited, but this time Duanmu Qian proposed to use Nangong Menghe to kiss, which made Nangong Jue age a lot in just a few days.

"Daddy, if the child doesn't marry, I'd rather die than marry!" When Nangong Mengyan heard this, she knelt on the ground in despair and cried bitterly. I thought that my father would be able to help me intercede and think of a thoughtful way to meet the saint today, but I didn't expect that my father's words would shatter her only hope.

"Child, it's not up to you for this reason." Nangong Jue was also distressed and cried, "Now that the eldest prince is in the hands of Duanmu Qian, if you don't marry, my country will lose thirty cities." This means that our national strength will be greatly weakened, and we will soon be swallowed up by the Nanlin Kingdom and the Jin Yao Kingdom. You will become a red face in the eyes of everyone, and our Nangong clan will also become the object of spurning by the world. ”

"Huh? Thirty cities? Nangong Meng sat down completely on the ground, "How is it possible?" ”

"The emperor showed me Duanmuqian's handwritten letter today, and the letter is really written like this." Nangong Jue shook his head bitterly.

"For what, for what, for what Duanmuqian must choose me? Why doesn't he choose someone else? Nangong Meng's face was dead.

"The emperor and I are also very puzzled, it stands to reason that Duanmu Qian has never seen you, you have stayed in the capital since you were a child, and you have been to the Broken Intestine Cliff at most, why did Duanmu Qian designate you? Is it because the news that the eldest prince wants to make you a concubine has also reached his ears? He not only captured the eldest prince alive, but also designated you to go and kiss, which is simply a big mouth for us to leave the country and make the Yuwen royal family lose face. ”

"However, I never promised to marry that Yuwen Chirui."

"How can you have the final say in this matter? If the eldest prince and Concubine Mo Yu ask the emperor to marry, can the emperor not agree? Nangong Jue sighed, "This may be your life." ”
