Chapter 110: Harmony and Departure?
"General, are you back?" Xiaohui took off the cloak on his body and then looked at Yan Rong and said to the study.
"What, what's wrong with the prince?" Yan Rong asked as he looked at the door of the study closed.
"Since I came back, I have locked myself in my room, and I don't let people in, I don't eat food, and I don't drink tea, it's been a long time." Xiaohui said.
"I know, you go and order a bowl of porridge to be boiled, and I'll send it to him." Yan Rong thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, General." Xiaohui replied.
"Yanrong, you can take a trip." Yan Rong wanted to turn around and go back to the room, but Nangong Xi stood at the door and shouted.
"Auntie?"
"Come on, I'll talk to you." Nangong Xi beckoned slightly.
"Yes." Yan Rong nodded and entered Nangong Xi's room.
"You don't drink tea, I'm not mistaken." Nangong Xi took a glass of white water and put it in front of Yan Rong and said.
"My aunt has a good memory." Yan Rong nodded.
"It's not that I have a good memory, it's that Li'er said that you don't like tea, and you talk in your ears every day, so naturally you will remember it." Nangong Xi smiled and said.
"Nangong Li, you really care." Yan Rong lowered his head slightly.
"I originally thought that even if the two of you were together because of the emperor's holy purpose, you wouldn't be able to last long, because the personalities of the two of you were completely inappropriate, especially you, Yanrong, do you understand?" Nangong didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly.
"I understand, not only I understand, Nangong Li also understands, everyone in the world understands that he and I are not suitable to be husband and wife, or that I am not suitable to be someone else's wife." Yan Rong said.
'You are a general, we have never had a female general in Daqi, not to mention, you are still above the imperial court, and you will still go to the battlefield in the future, so Yanrong, this is what my aunt is most worried about. Nangong Xi said.
"Auntie, it is my duty to go to the battlefield and I am willing, and I can't stop it." Yan Rong said.
"I didn't want to stop you, but, what about Li'er, have you thought about him or not, is he a big man waiting hard for his wife to come home, in case, in case you don't hear from you, what do you let him do." Nangong Xi said.
"Auntie, just say it." Yan Rong looked at Nangong Xi and said.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to get your affirmation, I want to find another side concubine for Li Er, who is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, and can take care of the entire palace, and can also take care of Li Er's woman." Nangong Xi said.
"I should tell Nangong Li about this, I have no opinion." Yan Rong shook the teacup and said.
"Really, you really have no opinion?" Nangong Xi asked a little uneasily.
"Aunt, I once said that if Nangong Li wants to find three wives and four concubines, I will not control it, this is his freedom." Yan Rong said.
"Then it's easy to talk about this matter, my aunt has one more thing, but you have to think about it, my aunt doesn't want to force you, but I have to do it for Aunt Li'er." After Nangong Xi finished speaking, he took out a letter from his back.
"And leave the book? Auntie, you want me to leave Nangong Li and He. Yan Rong was taken aback.
"Good boy, my aunt didn't mean that, it's not that you should be reconciled now, but when you go to the battlefield, you will take out the book of harmony, and it can be regarded as giving Nangong Li a final stability." Nangong Xi said.
"Auntie, this is not a trivial matter, and this is not something that I can call the decision alone, why should I reconcile, he is my husband, he is the one who has three books and six ceremonies, eight sedan chairs, and will marry me to the palace." Yan Rong said.
"Yes, but that's the emperor's will, Yanrong, you and Li Er have no feelings, and your personalities are incompatible together, why embarrass yourself, just like today, if something ugly happened to you, isn't it Li Er who suffers?" Nangong Xi was also a little anxious and said.
"So in my aunt's eyes, there is no relationship between me and Nangong Li, no feelings, and no love, right?" Yan Rong asked.
"Yes, Li'er doesn't like you, he won't like a woman like you." Nangong Xi said.
"Auntie, so your purpose today is to ask me to leave the book and help Nangong Li find a side concubine, and then I will quit, right?" Yan Rong asked.
"Yan Rong, you are a good boy, you are also very filial, my aunt didn't think about this, she just said that if one day you go to the battlefield, and then take out the book of harmony, then the fate between you and Li'er will be over, the sword and gun have no eyes, if you return safely, it will be fine, if you have any accidents, what should you do." Nangong Xi said while holding Yan Rong's hand.
"Then why don't you just hand it over to Nangong Li, or does my aunt think that if I hand over this and the book of separation to Nangong Li, he will tear it up on the spot, right, even my aunt thinks that Nangong Li will not easily reconcile with me, is this what I said to work?" Yan Rong said.
"Aunt is really afraid, child, aunt and you will be honest, I have never been in love with you, no matter how good you are, I always feel that Li'er's princess should not be like this, you are a general, you have the appearance of a general, how did a group of our women wear robes and hold swords." Nangong Xi said.
"I'm not a good princess." Yan Rong said.
"That's it, my aunt won't persuade you anymore, you can do whatever you want." Nangong Xi lowered her eyes and directly tore the letter in half, threw it into the furnace and burned it.
"Auntie....." Yan Rong looked at the envelope that was gradually turning into ashes, and there was more sadness in his eyes.
"Aunt, Nangong Li has you as a good aunt, it's really good, you broke your heart for him, paving the way for him in the future, I also tell you, there is a book of harmony between me and Nangong Li, but I didn't take it out, we said, if you don't want to be together, take out the book of harmony, and the two of you have nothing to do with it." Yan Rong said with a wry smile.
"What, when was this happening?" Nangong Xi was also a little surprised.
"I didn't get married for a long time, so my aunt is right, the battlefield is dangerous, I can't guarantee whether I can come back alive, I will naturally arrange everything, and I won't let Nangong Li have any difficulties." Yan Rong smiled again.
"My aunt said, you are a good boy, if it is true, you are not a general, even if you are just a civilian, I will not embarrass you like this." Nangong Xi's tears gradually fell after listening, and he looked at Yan Rong and said.
"Auntie, if I wasn't a general, I wouldn't have been able to protect Daqi, I wouldn't have been able to protect the people of Daqi, and the people of Li would be suffering, and I wouldn't have been able to turn a blind eye." Yan Rong also said.
"Yan Rong, you really deserve to be a hero, my aunt admires you, my aunt admires the female women of Daqi, but Yan Rong, you are my nephew, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, you will eventually give up the next party, the last thing my aunt wants to see is that you give up my Li'er." Nangong Xi said.
"I won't, I will protect him until he doesn't need me anymore, his wings are enough to support him to fly far away, until in his heart I can be dispensable, I will rest assured of him, no matter whether I am separated from him at that time, even if I am separated, I will still use all my strength to protect him." Yan Rong said.
"With your words, my aunt is relieved, it's just a face, I want to remind you, protection is not something to be said casually, I can see it today, Li'er has protected you, and you should also take out the things that let me see to protect him." Nangong Xi said.
"Yes, auntie." Yan Rong responded.
"What's going on between you and Yu'er?" Nangong Xi asked again.
"Auntie, hearing is false, seeing is believing, but sometimes what you see is not the truth, so I will promise you and Nangong Li in the future, you can see the innocence between me and Nangong Yu." Yan Rong said.
"Li'er's temper is a little stubborn, you see, since he came back, the door has been closed, no one is allowed to enter, the face on the way back is cold and pale, I have never seen him like this, face, you must persuade him well, explain clearly." Nangong sighed and said.
"Yes, auntie." Yan Rong knew that it was time for him to leave at this time.
"It's all sin, it's not wrong."
When Yan Rong was leaving, he heard Nangong Xi sigh and say, and he wondered why his aunt would say such a thing.
"General, the porridge is ready, you see?" As soon as Yan Rong went out, he saw Xiaohui walking over with a bowl of porridge and said.
"Leave it to me, you go down, by the way, you don't need to wait by the prince's side tonight, you can go back and rest." Yan Rong said.
"Yes, General." Xiaohui left happily.
Yan Rong walked to the door of the study with the porridge, and was hesitating how to get in, knocking on the door directly, Nangong Li's temper specified not to open, if he didn't knock on the door and break in, he would not be driven out, it was really sad. Yan Rong raised his eyes and looked at the open window, and secretly made a decision in his heart.
"You ......" That's it, when Nangong Li was sitting at the desk in a daze, suddenly a figure popped out, Nangong Li didn't see it clearly, he saw someone bring a bowl of porridge, it was really good kung fu, not a drop was spilled, Nangong Li naturally said who this is, who can have such a door and not leave, and who else has to climb the window except for his face.
"Xiaohui said that you didn't have to eat, and I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought you porridge." Yan Rong said in front of Nangong Li.
"Take it, with you." Nangong Li didn't have any expression, at least in Yan Rong's opinion, Nangong Li didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed in black, and he looked even more cold and detached, Yan Rong wanted to take Nangong Li's hand, but he didn't do it for a long time.
"If you don't eat, your stomach will not be able to stand it, and your body will be weak and easy to get sick." Yan Rong continued.
"Why do you always climb the window if you don't leave the door?" Nangong Li replied to the question.
"I'm afraid of ......." Yan Rong didn't expect Nangong Li to ask this question.
"What are you afraid of, Yanrong, I don't even know what else you have to fear?" Nangong Li directly put down the book and asked.
"I'm afraid you'll be angry, and you'll be even more uncomfortable when you're sulking." Yan Rong said.
"Don't you know what I'm angry about?" Nangong Li asked.
"Nangong ......"
"You don't have to speak, the door is not closed, you leave directly with your porridge." Nangong Li didn't wait for Yan Rong to reply, and directly turned his face and said.
