Chapter 14 of the Osawa Chapter Marriage
"Master, the people outside the door have departed."
"Hmm."
Stepping out of the palace gate, walking to the east for a short time, there is an exotic mansion, which is the post house of Daze to receive foreign envoys.
In the museum, a man stood in front of the window on the second floor, his expression was serious, the crowd on the street came and went, and he only saw two figures of a man and a woman gradually disappearing at the end of the street, noisy, shouting gradually blurred in his ears.
This man is the third prince of Daxin who appeared in the Chenghuan Hall of the Qiongmin Palace. At this time, he took off a foreign costume and changed into a white dark coat, out of the dust, like an immortal, but there was an imperceptible ruthlessness hidden in his eyes.
The third prince, who had just returned from the Qiongmin Palace, had not yet drunk a cup of tea, when he heard the attendant report that there was a woman outside the hall asking to see him.
The visitor was none other than the county lord of Qingyuan who had met at the gate of the palace before. The third prince asked the attendants to send her away on the grounds that it was inconvenient to meet guests, but he didn't expect the county lord to wait outside the hall for two hours.
Until a waning moon hung in the night sky, he stood in front of the window, quietly watching what the woman was doing, and tried to move several times, but finally did not go out to see her.
The crowd on the street became smaller and smaller, and finally a man appeared and took away the county lord of Qingyuan, and before the attendants returned, he had already seen them leaving through the window railing.
Seeing their backs disappear, the third prince silently returned to the wooden table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup, looked at it, and never came back to his senses for a long time......
"Mother, what are you calling your child for?"
"Yi'er, stay until next month, you go to Daze to propose marriage and ask to marry Princess Yixuan."
"What does the queen mean? You know that the child will soon go to Daze to marry the girl of the Ji family. ”
"The queen mother is not mistaken, and now the form no longer requires you to marry that woman."
"Why?"
"This is the king's decision."
"No, Queen Mother, please believe in the child with your father, and give the child a while, the girl of the Ji family has long been concerned about me, regardless of her brother's admonition, she made a marriage contract with me privately, and after a while, I will go to Daze to marry her, and our future plans will definitely be realized one by one."
"At the beginning, the king agreed with you to send you to Daze to deceive Ji Qianning's trust, and designed her to marry you, as long as Ji Qianning is in our hands, we are not afraid of her brother Ji Qianmu. At that time, Hongu did not approve of this plan, but now it seems that it is really stupid! This time, it just so happens that Daze intends to marry us, even if Daze can't be shaken, if he can conclude an alliance through marriage and annex the Southern Zhou together, it will not lose a good strategy. Today in the court, the king and his ministers agreed that you would be the most suitable person. ”
"Mother, please tell your father, please give the child more time, and the child will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Don't you still understand that the king summoned you back to China because Ji Qianmu already doubted your identity, so he would never marry his sister to you."
"There are so many princes in the royal family, why do you choose me?"
"Bastard, do you have to say that this palace is strongly recommended by this palace in front of the king, so that you have more of this honor. If you marry Princess Yixuan, there will be many fewer obstacles on the road to the peak of power. Besides, how the king treats our mother and son, you know in your heart that our mother and son will not be able to repay his kindness until death. ”
"Queen Mother's ......"
"You know, your grandfather was a famous Marquis of Weiyuan in the Southern Zhou Dynasty during his lifetime, and he was loyal and loyal all his life, and made great contributions to the Southern Zhou court. Back then, I was also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, with a noble status, and I was loved by my family and the world, what a pride. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and the queen mother was forced to enter the palace. In the third year of entering the palace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, your grandfather was framed by the villain and imprisoned, Nangong Hao was afraid of your grandfather's military power, so he let the Ling family be beheaded all over the house on trumped-up charges, and hundreds of people died without explanation. The funny thing is that Nangong Hao actually left my life, and I was demoted to a concubine by him and expelled from the palace. Just when I had no way out and was about to kill myself, it was the king who saved me and gave me the courage to live. Back then, the king did not dislike me, who was pregnant, and despite the opposition of the royal ministers, he took me into the palace. Over the years, how the king has treated us, you know in your heart that he has always cultivated you as his own son, and the king's kindness, our mother and son can't repay it in this life, it's time for you to do something for him. ”
"The queen mother, the child understands, but apart from this incident, even if the child dies for his father and you, he will not complain. ,”
"Hehe, do you think a dead word is over? Have you forgotten that you carry not only the kindness to the king, but also the hatred of the Ling family, we can only get to this day step by step, do you want to let everything be ruined in your stubbornness? ”
"Mother, Child......"
"Or, are you really interested in that woman?"
"No, the child doesn't."
"I hope so, otherwise, I will never let her continue to live in this world."
"The child knows that he is wrong, and everything is arranged by the father and the queen mother."
"Good."
……
Sure enough, the third prince of Daxin is the Ling Chengzhi that Ji Qianning misses.
Thinking of this, Ling Chengzhi's hand holding the jade cup deepened a little bit of strength, and for a while, the tea overflowed, mixed with blood slid down in the palm of his hand.
……
Half a month later, the Dome Palace was not lively.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when Princess Yixuan gets married.
On this day, the palace was filled with a festive atmosphere, Sima Zhao, the king of Daze, and the queen Xiang, surrounded by a group of princesses and princes, came to the Taihe Gate with the sound of ceremonial music, and the two rows outside the door were already full of waiting civil and military officials.
At this time, Princess Yixuan came slowly, the phoenix crown on her head was more than half a foot high, she held a feather fan in her hand and half-covered her face, wearing a black and red auspicious dress, embroidered with gold thread on it with two phoenixes that were about to fly, and hung a jade jue symbolizing the royal identity around her waist, wearing a sachet, dignified and atmospheric. She stepped on the golden shoes, walked through the ten-mile red carpet in the expectant eyes of everyone, and stopped at Taihe Gate. Along the way, she was always smiling, like a peony blooming, so noble and elegant. She always smiled, but who knew the bitterness behind that smile, everything, I am afraid that only in the far corner, that person can really feel it.
In the shouts of the ceremonial officials, Princess Yixuan saluted one by one according to the ancestral system, bid farewell to the royal brother, and bid farewell to the palace where she has lived for many years.
Sima Zhao looked at this sister, his heart was complicated, and he wanted to say goodbye, what he could do at this time was to give her the best dowry. Yi Xuan loves to read, he asked her to give her nearly one-sixth of the books in the library as a dowry, those who only have a single book, he ordered hundreds of officials to copy it for several days, and the books were loaded into dozens of cars. There were also jade belts, boots, dusty wats, saddles, three hundred silk silks, one hundred pairs of silverware, two hundred pieces of clothing, ten thousand taels of silver, medicinal herbs, grain, and other inconspicuous items, and the dowry alone cost more than a hundred chariots. The wedding chariot and horse waited outside the palace gate, looking from afar, like a red river, but this river, some people looked at joy, and some people looked gloomy.
After all the rituals were completed, Yi Xuan slowly walked towards the convoy surrounded by the maids, and when she arrived in front of the carriage, she turned her head and took a deep look at everything behind her, looking at the Qiongmin Palace, looking at Brother Wang, looking at the grass and trees here, perhaps, this is the last look in this life. She inadvertently looked in the other direction, staring at the inconspicuous corner for a long time, with a sad expression.
Suddenly, he put away his lonely eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, and his smile was like a flower, and then he put away the last trace of nostalgia under his eyes, holding a feather fan in one hand, lifting the skirt with the other hand, and was helped into the carriage by the maid.
Half a month ago, the third prince had already left Daze to return to China, and according to etiquette, the Daxin royal family sent an envoy to pick up the relatives.
Just after Princess Yixuan boarded the carriage, the envoys who came to greet her relatives also bid farewell to King Daze and prepared to leave.
......Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the previously inconspicuous corner, a man in military uniform straddled the horse and came to Taihemen, he dismounted and knelt down in front of King Daze, and said in a strong and powerful voice: "King, the convoy is ready." ”
The man has thick eyebrows and sword eyes, a handsome face, and a military uniform that makes him even more vibrant.
"Yun'er will be handed over to you, you must protect her thoroughly." In Sima Zhao's tone, there was love for Yixuan, and there was a trace of inexplicable helplessness. But looking at him, his eyes were full of trust, among the many generals, he only chose the general named Li in front of him to escort the princess, and he also believed that only he would let the princess go to Daxin unscathed.
Thinking of this, Sima Zhao sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Ji turned his head and glanced at the princess's carriage, his eyes were firm: "The minister must live up to his mission." ”
"Let's go."
"Yes."
Li Ji quickly stepped onto his horse and drove towards the front of the convoy, passing the princess's carriage, he deliberately slowed down to let the horse move slowly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, blowing up the clothes, blowing the hair, and blowing the curtains on the carriage, the face like a flower was reflected in Li Ji's eyes, he stayed there for a while, the eyes full of tears made Li Ji unable to take his eyes off, time seemed to be forbidden, and there were still only the two of them left in heaven and earth, just want to look at it so obsessively, no one wants to take a step away from it.
Remember the most beautiful moments of your life......
A glance for ten thousand years......
The sound of the ritual music that he suddenly remembered woke Li Ji, and the curtain fell, blocking the beautiful face, and he finally took a deep look at the carriage and drove away.
"Let's go." Only listening to a strong male voice, the whole convoy set off to drive outside the palace, the sound of ritual music sounded again, as time passed, as the wheels turned in circles, the red gradually faded away, until it disappeared at the end of the palace gate.
The wheels creaked, gradually masking the sound of ritual music that had long been gone, Yixuan tried very hard to listen to the sound in the palace gate, but everything became blurred, the Dome Palace had long gone, and Los Angeles was gradually gone, at this moment, only the sound of cars and horses was extremely loud, she finally couldn't help it, tears poured down like a torrential rain, spent makeup, and wet Luo Shang.
Poor woman like a flower, farewell to her relatives, farewell to everything in her homeland, since then set foot on a strange land, and endure loneliness alone.
