Chapter 102: Once Upon a Time in the Capital
Chengdu in Jingzhou, that is, the capital, is the residence of the royal family of Dahuaguo, although the majesty of the royal family is not as great as it was then, but the royal family still has a pivotal position in Dahuaguo.
When the emperor was still there, the Forbidden City was even more rigorous and solemn than it is now, and there was a little bit of boredom in its seriousness.
The emperor had a son and a daughter, and in order to enable them to receive a good education, the emperor asked Wang Min, a scholar of the dynasty, to teach the crown prince, and Su Youbai, a scholar of the dynasty, to teach the princess.
As the prince's teacher, Wang Min has two sons and a daughter, the two children have not absorbed their father's genes as a bachelor, and they know how to dance and play every day, while the daughter is very smart, she learned to read and write at the age of three, and she can read through the bachelor's articles at the age of five, and her ability to read the articles is even more unforgettable, and she is known as a genius.
But because he was too smart and still young, there were some small disputes when he debated with the prince again, and finally alarmed the emperor, summoned Wang Min and his daughter to meet, and asked a few questions casually and still answered them fluently, the emperor was overjoyed, saying that it is really my Dahua's blessing that Wang has such a daughter.
But Wang Min doesn't think so, her daughter is too smart, she will only suppress the prince's ability, and after a long time, it will naturally damage the prince's self-esteem, not to mention that the emperor's face can't be hung up, from then on, every time Wang Min goes to work, he sends Wang Luoning's little daughter to the library on the side, and when Wang Min teaches the prince every day, his daughter can only be locked up in the library.
After a long time, the books in the library pavilion have also been read by this little daughter, it can be seen that she is a real prodigy, Wang Min is not proud of this, but takes care of her daughter more carefully, and does not let her come into contact with any people in the palace.
After a long time, people passing by the library also heard a monster appear in the locked library from time to time.
My daughter has been left alone in the library with withered grass and cut grass, and it has been three years.
The daughter is already twelve years old, and no one can count how many books she has read, knowing that this child is a prodigy, a prodigy who was locked up by her father.
Until one day three years ago, when she was bored in the scripture pavilion, her daughter heard a noise outside the house.
Originally, there was a long royal road between the imperial garden and the main hall, which was used to run horses for the royal family, but due to the popularity of automobiles now, there would be no one on this royal road, and occasionally there would be one or two palace maids passing by, but they also left quickly,
And now there are three guests on this royal road, one more talking, one sturdy and one casual.
The daughter was so curious about the three guests who came out of nowhere, knowing that apart from her two older brothers and her father, there was hardly anyone who could be afraid of jumping in front of her eyes except for the royal family.
The three older boys chased and frolicked, played, and told jokes on the royal road, while they could only sit here and wait for their father to come, so that the daughter seemed so unfair.
Until one day, when she poked her head out of the window and looked out, one of the three older boys, who looked more casual, seemed to find herself and greeted her daughter with a smile.
The daughter was startled, the guy in front of her looked so frivolous, which stimulated her curiosity.
This group of children doesn't come every day, almost once every half a month, and the daughter is waiting for them to arrive, only staring at the boy who doesn't seem to have any motivation at all, this boy is so interesting between his gestures, and the girl keeps remembering him and remembering his smile to herself.
But the good times did not last long, the first emperor died, and the queen mother ascended the throne to take care of the government in place of the young emperor.
Wang Min made a political struggle with the queen mother as a royalist, and the result was that Wang Min lost his position as a scholar, and he was directly sent back to his hometown Jiangshao, with his whole family, old and young, and began to live a prefect's life.
The daughter was also liberated from the days in the library every day, and her father loved her very much after arriving in Jiangshao, and gradually she forgot the smile through the window and the two floors.
Until this year's Yuedan Review, the high-spirited daughter didn't know when she was known as the first talented woman in Jiangzhou, and the people around her began to gradually flatter herself.
The daughter's heart gradually began to be arrogant and lonely, it seems that the people around her are not treating themselves truly, they are just flattering themselves, and they can't help but be a little arrogant, so that they published such an article in the Yuedan Review that is a little too self-conscious.
And as a result, no one came to accuse her, not even she felt so, in fact, it didn't matter what she did, who called herself a talented woman? Who called his father the prefect?
It was at this time that a person appeared, who explained his meaning in one sentence, and did not blame himself, but put forward his own opinions, and this person, and the smiling boy he met in Jingzhou three years ago seemed to be exactly the same.
That big boy has now become the ruling government of Jiangzhou, such a big official position, my daughter is very happy, she met him once, he is really different,
That is, with this mentality, the daughter still gradually contacted him, making trouble for him, spilling for him, pretending to be sick for him, and angry for him, because she seems to have liked the adult who likes it out of control.
But he didn't dare to express his heart to the adults, but came up with the pretense of apprenticeship, and the relationship between the two seemed to be close, but I always felt that there was still a layer of estrangement.
This level of estrangement has been maintained until now, and the adult has a fiancΓ©e, no matter how she spreads, the adult is unwilling to dissolve this marriage contract, and the adult's heart seems to be no longer with her, or rather, it has never been there.
Gradually, my daughter became homeless and didn't want to get up, so she nested in the study every day, burying herself in writing poems and articles, until now.
"And then he broke himself." Zhou Ruocheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Wang Luoning.
"My lord, do you have any thoughts after listening?" Wang Luoning asked.
βγγγγβ Zhou Ruocheng smiled a little helplessly, "I'm sorry, I really don't have an impression, I don't even know that there is a library pavilion on the edge of the imperial garden." β
"I know, in fact, Ning'er is just wishful thinking." Wang Luoning said.
"If you had confessed to me earlier, maybe there would have been fewer problems between us." Zhou Ruocheng's eyes also softened.
"My lord, if I had told you this when I first met you, would you choose Ning'er?" Wang Luoning asked.
Zhou Ruocheng looked at Wang Luoning and sighed, "Maybe... β
"Compared to Zhao Qingyuan?" Wang Luoning asked again.
βγγγγγ Don't embarrass me, don't embarrass yourself, you also know that many things are irreparable, Miss Wang, I really can't do what you want, maybe we have met in Jingzhou, but that is also before. Zhou Ruocheng wanted to touch Wang Luoning's head, but he couldn't do it.
"Ning'er understands that the heart of an adult has never been with me... But... Wang Luoning said and tears fell, "But Ning'er can't forget the adult... β
"Although I said that it is not convincing, Miss Wang, everyone will always have one or two unrealistic ambiguities, all of which are experienced in the so-called process of growing up, your love for me, in fact, how to say it, it is not realistic at all, this is also essential in the process of your growth, you have to learn to overcome it, you still have a long way to go, between us, I can only say that fate is not enough, you... Or don't push yourself anymore. Zhou Ruocheng said.
The pleading in Wang Luo's eyes can be imagined, and after looking at Zhou Ruocheng for a long time, Zhou Ruocheng could only turn his face to the side and say nothing more.
"Lord Zhou, Ning'er knows Lord Zhou's intentions, but can you please grant me another request?" Wang Luoning asked.
"Tell me about it." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"My lord, can you hug me?" Wang Luoning asked.
Zhou Ruocheng was also stunned, looking at Wang Luoning, who was still begging, and finally sighed and slowly opened his arms.
Wang Luoning slammed into Zhou Ruocheng's arms, the beauty entered his arms, but Zhou Ruocheng did not have the slightest sense of achievement.
Wang Luoning didn't speak, just nestled in Zhou Ruocheng's arms.
"If it's uncomfortable, you might as well cry." Zhou Ruocheng said.
Wang Luoning didn't respond, but gradually, her shoulders began to shake, and then a small whimper sounded, and then it evolved into a howling cry, in Zhou Ruocheng's arms, wantonly venting her emotions.
Maybe this is the best result, if Wang Luoning confessed to Zhou Ruocheng when she saw Zhou Ruocheng for the first time, maybe the person who is with Zhou Ruocheng again now is her, but fate will play tricks on people many times, since you are timid, then don't blame others for taking the lead, there are still people here who are willing to send their arms to cry for themselves, but many times, the reality is so cruel.
I don't know how long I cried, Wang Luoning's mood gradually stabilized.
Zhou Ruocheng asked helplessly and pitifully, "Enough to cry?" β
"Hmm!" As if he had changed back to his original self, Wang Luoning got out of Zhou Ruocheng's arms and wiped his eyes, although his eyes were red, his spirit looked much better than just now.
"Don't think about it anymore, I don't want to hear your father complain anymore." Zhou Ruocheng said.
"Understood, I won't trouble Lord Zhou anymore." Wang Luoning said.
"It's good to understand, uh... And Wang Luoning... Zhou Ruocheng scratched his face a little embarrassed, "Our previous agreement, I think it should be counting." β
Wang Luoning looked at Zhou Ruocheng and laughed again, "My lord, I'm afraid you haven't put it down, right?" Or are you feeling sorry for Ning'er? β
"Actually, I'm also reflecting, although I can't be a couple, but I didn't say that I can't be friends." Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly.
"Naturally, there is no problem in becoming friends, but adults, you still don't take it too seriously, ah~ Ning'er finally put this matter down." Wang Luoning took a deep breath, "Okay, sir, you should also look forward, you are the ruling government." β
"Do you still have to say that?" Zhou Ruocheng stood up, "Since you're fine, I'll go back first." β
"Okay, sir, go slowly." Wang Luoning smiled.
Zhou Ruocheng walked to the door, looked back at Wang Luoning again, Wang Luoning still smiled and waved his hands.
Zhou Ruocheng walked out of the room at this time, and after a while, Wang Zhifu walked in.
"Daughter, how are you talking to Lord Zhou?" Governor Wang asked.
Wang Luoning got into his father's arms, "Daddy... Your daughter is really out of love... β
Wang Zhifu sighed, "Maybe you and Lord Zhou are really fated, so be it, we can't force him, right?" β
"Daddy." Wang Luoning raised his head and looked at the prefect Wang's mansion.
"What's wrong?" Governor Wang asked.
"I want to take the imperial examination." Wang Luoning said.
"I want to be the same person as Lord Zhou, maybe so that I can understand Lord Zhou." Wang Luoning said.
Wang Zhifu looked at his daughter with a tangled expression, and once again hugged her into his arms, "Eh~ Look at the sins made by this kid Zhou Ruocheng... β
