Chapter 609: It may be better not to marry
"In the future, I'll call you a little boy, how about it?" Blinking at Qiao Mingyue, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Lishu's face, Qiao Mingyue looked at the bright smile, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, such a free and easy woman can't escape being arranged by fate after all.
Lishu...... You...... Have you ever thought that maybe not marrying Yelu Xianyi is not a bad thing? Qiao Mingyue asked Xiao Lishu tentatively, Yelu Xianyi is moody, and now that he has become the king of Western Liao, marrying Yelu Xianyi also means losing his freedom.
Xiao Lishu will become an ordinary woman in the harem of Western Liao, and there will be no difference between it and those women in the harem of Nanzhao in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
With a temperament like Xiao Lishu, can she really endure being trapped in the palace for the rest of her life?
Shaking her head, Xiao Lishu lowered her head and stirred. Pulling his clothes, he told the truth, "Actually, I don't know, I was told since I was a child that as soon as I was born, I was engaged to him when I was a prince at the time, and when I grew up, I wanted to marry him as my wife." ”
"I've only seen him once, at the hunting conference three years ago, just a glance from afar, I don't know, I like him or not, I just know that if I don't marry him, I will become a laughing stock in everyone's mouth."
She had already been told that when the new king ascended the throne, it was the time when the two got married, and her mother and grandmother had already begun to help her prepare a red wedding dress, and even the eldest sister who married far away came back to tell her how to take care of the king after marrying the new king.
She thought that everything would be a new beginning, and she thought that she would slowly like that husband, just like her parents and her eldest sister, even if they had never met before they got married, but after they got married, they could still be harmonious and respectful of each other.
But she didn't expect that she didn't wait for the letter of appointment from the palace, but what she was waiting for was an edict from the king to withdraw from the marriage, and he was so upright that he couldn't wait to tell the world that he Yelu Xianyi didn't want her to be Xiaolishu.
It turned out that she was supposed to be the nine days of Fengwu and the most noble woman in Xiliao, but in an instant, she became the laughing stock of Xiliao, that is, even her parents felt that she had embarrassed them, and the maids in the house were even more talking about her, and even more so, bluntly said that she could only do this in her life.
A woman who was divorced by the king, this Xiliao, who else dares to ask for it? Even if the king doesn't want it, who would dare to marry her like this again?
She listened, she only felt that people were warm and cold, a day ago, the person who was flattering her, but now, she has a cold face, as if her existence is a big joke.
She thought about it, but she only felt that the road ahead was dark and she couldn't see the end at a glance, but the only thing she could be sure of was that her life was dark.
"That's why I jumped into the lake one day." Xiao Lishu became quieter the more she spoke, and the hands on her knees unconsciously clenched the long skirt and kneaded the folds of the skirt.
Listening to Xiao Lishu's words, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman in front of her, and she also had a little more consideration in her heart, perhaps, not marrying Yelu Xianyi is not a bad thing, Yelu Xianyi has never been a person worthy of TOEFL for life.
Based on what the man had done to him at the time, she didn't have much of a good impression of Yelu Xianyi.
Gently holding Xiao Lishu's slightly trembling hand, Qiao Mingyue looked up at her eyes and said tentatively: "Lishu, have you ever thought about leaving Xiliao, going to the Central Plains, and living a free life?" Although the palace is good, it is to be exchanged for freedom, once you step in, you will be trapped in it for life, how can it compare to the happiness that comes at ease? ”
A woman like Xiao Lishu shouldn't be locked in a cage!
Listening to Qiao Mingyue's words, Xiao Lishu's eyes were somewhat dyed with yearning, but ...... She sighed heavily, "I can't rest assured of my parents, and I want to ask why he doesn't want me, and if I ask clearly, I will leave here!" ”
Although Xiao Lishu has the freedom of the people on the grassland, she is also the eldest lady who really grew up in the big family, she has the responsibility she has to bear, at that time a grievance, she thought of throwing herself into the river to commit suicide, and now, calm down, she can not rest assured that her family.
Qiao Mingyue understood Xiao Lishu's thoughts, but she didn't force it, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, she just gave her a seed of freedom, as for whether she wants to do what she says, it depends on Xiao Lishu's own.
If this seed can take root and sprout, Xiao Lishu will naturally not stay here, if this seed can't withstand the importance of her family in her heart, then it can only be said that Xiao Lishu should be like this.
While speaking, the carriage slowly stopped, Qiao Mingyue lifted the curtain, and saw that there was already a team of eunuchs and palace maids standing there in the distance, seeing them coming, an old eunuch led by him hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, with a smile on his face, and piled up layers of folds on his already old face.
"The general is finally here, I have been waiting for a long time, the king has arranged a full moon garden for the general, the general please come with me." The old eunuch took the lead and turned around as he spoke, and Yu Feilong bowed his head and ordered the attendant to lead the horse and follow.
The carriage stopped all the way in front of a small courtyard, which was not very large, and the repair was not as good as the style of Xiliao, but it had the feeling of a Central Plains house.
Qiao Mingyue came out of the carriage and looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the small courtyard that was sketched with a brush stroke by stroke.
Qiao Mingyue recognized the handwriting on the plaque at a glance, it was no one else's, it was Yelu Xianyi's handwriting!
Imprisoned in the barracks by Yelu Xianyi that day, she had seen the documents piled up in front of his desk, and she had also seen the words he wrote on the map, so she was very familiar with his handwriting.
Even if it was only a few glances, she could clearly remember that even now, she could still recognize at a glance that the plaque in front of her was from Yelu Xianyi's hand.
Suppressing the churning in her heart, Qiao Mingyue retracted her gaze casually, lowered her head and followed closely behind Qi Jingyun, and entered the small courtyard.
The small courtyard is not big from the outside, but inside, it is very large, divided into the front hall and the side halls on both sides, behind the front hall, there is a small courtyard full of flowers, the fiery red flowers, the back of the small courtyard is soaked like fire.
Qiao Mingyue hadn't seen those flowers, so she asked the eunuch in front of her curiously, and the eunuch smiled slightly, "This flower is called the Prison Phoenix, because the petals are four, and the stamens look like a phoenix at first glance, hence the name." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Mingyue stepped forward curiously and took a look, sure enough, the flower had four petals, and it was as red as a burning flame.
