The next morning, the sun was warm in Huiji City, and in the general's mansion, Ina intimately helped Ji Zheng sort out his clothes, knelt down to help Ji Zheng put on his shoes, and then raised his head to look up at Ji Zheng, and asked in a gentle voice: "General, what do you want to eat at noon?" I'll arrange for someone to do it for you. ”

Ji Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't wait for me, I'm going to the palace to do some business, I don't know when I'll come back." ”

"Oh......" Ina looked a little lost.

Ji Zheng gently kissed Ina on the forehead and touched her head, "Whatever you want to eat, just order your subordinates to do it." ”

With that, Ji Zheng left the mansion.

Entering the palace gate, Ji Zheng passed by the royal garden. Suddenly, there was a silver bell-like laughter from the maids in the garden, and Ji Zheng subconsciously lowered his head and walked quickly towards the palace.

"Brother Ji Zheng." Just as Ji Zheng was about to escape from the garden, there was a shout from behind him.

Ji Zheng stopped and froze in place, he slowly turned around, a group of maids were hugging Frost in the garden, Frost's face revealed a little frosty melancholy, which was completely different from the cheerfulness of the maids.

Ji Zheng saluted to Frost and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Frost returned the salute, "It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Ji Zheng." ”

"Yes, I haven't seen you in months."

"Has Brother Ji Zheng gone on the expedition?"

"Yes, this time, General Xiao's army went out to attack Gusu, and my country defeated Wu, and this battle was a complete victory."

"Oh...... I don't know anything in the palace...... I don't have any news about what's going on outside......"

Frost frowned and worried. As the princess of the Yue Kingdom, she should have felt joyful, but she was not happy at all. Gusu has too many good memories, and the safety of Zhang Xun and Gong Wanran makes her even more worried and afraid.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if there is nothing to do, I will go to deal with official business first."

"Hmm." Frost nodded.

Ji Zheng was just about to turn around and leave, but Shuang Di stopped Ji Zheng again, "Brother Ji Zheng, when you are done, can you tell me about Brother Xiaoxun and Brother Gonghui?" How are they now? This campaign...... Did they get hurt......"

"They...... They're all very good,......" Ji Zheng prevaricated, trying his best to avoid Frost's gaze, but he couldn't hide his weakness.

"Oh, that's good...... I hope everyone is safe......"

"Her Royal Highness the princess is kind-hearted, which is a blessing for the people of Yue. Your Highness, I need to go to the palace council immediately and take my leave. ”

"Well, goodbye Brother Ji Zheng."

Ji Zheng saluted hastily, then turned around and fled towards the inner hall of the palace.

Coming to the inner hall, King Yue was discussing with Fan Li. After the report, Ji Zheng entered the palace to salute, and got up after the ceremony, he and Fan Li met their eyes and knew each other.

After a short greeting, Ji Zheng stepped forward and presented a beautiful night pearl to King Yue, this fist-sized pearl was wrapped in a hollow gold ring, and with a flick of his hand, the night pearl slowly rotated in the gold ring.

King Yue was very fond of it and asked, "Where did this treasure come from?" ”

Ji Zheng replied: "Your Majesty, this Night Pearl is a treasure that the minister has found from the Wu Palace. The husband does not understand the treasure, will only bury it in the wooden box, after the minister retrieved, ordered our famous craftsman to process and create, this is to get this treasure in the world. ”

King Yue couldn't put it down, and couldn't help but praise: "Good treasure, if this kind of treasure is only stored in a box, it is really a tyrannical thing!" Haha, this husband is really illiterate. Oh, well, this king likes it very much. ”

"The King." Ji Zheng saluted deeply and said, "The minister is brave and wants to ask the king for a treasure." ”

"Oh? The general asks for a treasure from the widow? Hehe, I can't imagine that the general also loves treasures? However, the general has made great contributions to the war for many years, and if the widow really has any treasures that the general has taken a look at, then the widow should also be rewarded to the general. Say, what did the general like? ”

"This treasure is extraordinary, it is the most beautiful in the world. If the minister speaks, he hopes that the king will not be guilty. ”

"Hey, the general just say! As long as it is owned by this king, it should be given to the general! ”

"The treasure that the minister asks for is Princess Frost."

As soon as the words fell, King Yue suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Ji Zheng.

Seeing this, Ji Zheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

King Yue stepped forward to help Ji Zheng and said with a smile: "Hehe, what is the general's crime?" The general is thirty years old, and he should have started a family a long time ago. The princess will be twenty years old and is also in the boudoir to be married. Hehe, very good, very good, if the general can treat the princess as a treasure, the widow will rest assured. Well, the treasure that the general asked for, this king agreed. ”

"Thank you, King! Thank you, King! Ji Zheng hurriedly knelt down and bowed again.

At this time, Fan Li smiled and said: "Okay, good, the princess and the general are a talented woman and a match made in heaven, if the two of them can become husband and wife, it is really a beautiful thing!" Hehe, congratulations to the king! Congratulations to the General! ”

Ji Zheng saluted Fan Li and said, "Thank you, Lord Fan!" ”

"It's just ......" Fan Li pretended to be puzzled, "I don't know when the general plans to get married?" It's going to be a harvest festival soon, and the general, as the eldest son of the Zhou family, shouldn't he attend the festival? ”

Ji Zheng nodded and said, "Now that my identity is known to the world, as the prince of the Zhou family, I should naturally attend such a world ceremony." And the eldest brother has passed away, so I am the eldest son of the Zhou family, and since I am the eldest son, I should attend this harvest festival even more. ”

King Yue patted Ji Zheng on the shoulder and said in an intriguing tone: "The harvest festival is a major event related to the world, and the general should take this as a top priority. ”

Ji Zheng immediately understood what King Yue meant, and said firmly: "King! Princess Frost is the love of her life, and she can't marry Frost for a day, minister! It's hard to sleep! Although the minister is the eldest son of the Zhou family, he is the king's courtier after all! If the minister can attend the festival as a horse of the Yue country, wouldn't it strengthen the prestige of our country? ”

"Hahaha, it's rare for the general to love Princess Shuangdi so much, since that's the case, why don't I want to fulfill it." King Yue laughed loudly, then turned to Fan Li and asked, "Lord Fan, can it be good for the wedding day recently?" ”

Fan Li pinched his fingers and said with joy: "King! Five days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the marriage is extremely profitable. ”

King Yue grabbed Ji Zheng's hand and said, "Okay! It's a match made in heaven! Since the general is earnest, let's do the marriage event after five days! ”

"King Xie!" Ji Zheng thanked him.

King Yue picked up Ji Zheng again and said with a smile: "Get up, general." From today onwards, you and I will be a family, one with glory and one with loss. This king will fully support you as the prince of the Zhou family, you can rest assured, Yue Guo will become a firm backing for you to seize the crown prince! ”

"King Xie!"

"In the future, I can call my widowed father-in-law."

"Father-in-law Xie!"

Five days later, the streets of Huiji were bustling with activity, with people gathered on both sides of the street to cheer and jump. On the streets, a gorgeous procession swaggers through the market.

Ji Zheng was dressed in splendid red, riding a tall horse and walking at the head of the team, and he gestured to the people on both sides from time to time, so he was not majestic.

The guards on the side shouted: "The king has an order!" The princess and the general got married today, and each household gave two pots of wine, and the whole city celebrated for five days! ”

The cheers resounded in the sky, and the always lifeless Huiji City was suddenly full of life, and the people sang and danced to celebrate the union of this beautiful couple.

Yet in this joyous atmosphere, Ina's grief was so insignificant.

She hid in the crowd, looking at the team from afar, she lowered her head and hid her face, for fear that she would be seen by Ji Zheng, she was afraid that her humble status would hinder Ji Zheng. In fact, she always knew that she was just a substitute, an object to soothe her thoughts.

There was a time when she was immersed in a beautiful dream, and even thought that it was about to become a reality, but the dream finally woke up. The cruel reality was reflected in her tearful eyes, and now she finally understood that the moment she woke up from her dream was so painful.

On the other side, in the deep walls of the palace, Frosty once again put on a splendid wedding dress, and several maids were busy helping Frosty dress up.

In the bronze mirror, the frost is so beautiful and moving, the rising cloud bun is carefully coiled, the golden hairpin is embellished with steps, the eyebrows are like the moon, the eyes are like water, the white cheeks are a little crimson, and the lips are bitten lightly, and a red flower blooms.

But there are thousands of sorrows in that beautiful face, like cold autumn water, meandering back.

Three years ago, she was grooming her immature makeup, and just like today, she sat in the boudoir and waited. At that time, at the age of sixteen, she was like a budding flower, waiting to be picked by the man she loved. But when the beloved man arrives, what awaits them is an escape. Then, they went through the test and finally entered the door of happiness again, but who knew that a massacre and fire would finally destroy everything.

Thinking about it, tears silently rolled down her cheeks, leaving a deep scar on her makeup. Now, all hope has been disillusioned, and all happiness has vanished, like dripping tears, shattered into powder on the ground.

It was lively outside, and the team to pick up the relatives had already arrived, and Frost wiped away her tears and covered her head. The maid helped her onto the sedan chair, through the hijab, the sun could not shine a trace of light, the boiling celebration could not arouse a trace of joy, when the sedan chair left the ground and carried her to the outside of the palace, tears slipped quietly again.

Since she was a child, the world of Frost has always been covered with a layer of gloom, and the love of her grandparents does not allow her to open her heart, until she meets her brothers and Sister Hana, and the world becomes brighter.

Frost took out a wood carved rabbit from her arms, she carefully ** the little rabbit, a smile appeared on her crying face, she will never forget her eleventh birthday, it was a very beautiful day in her life, although she slept in the open, but she gained the most important person.

Brother Xiaoxun, how are you now? Do you know where I am?

It was all too sudden. For five days, Frost tried everything, and no matter how she tried, she was imprisoned in the walls. After despair, she thought about asking her biological father, but her father, who was the king, never appeared again after telling her the news himself.

Perhaps, no matter how cruel the father is, he can't look directly at his daughter's despair.

The sedan chair was still advancing, and Frost knew that she was about to arrive at the General's Mansion, and now she had no chance to resist, and the last thing she could use to fight was her own life.

Frost plucked the golden hairpin and pressed the tip against her heart, and the noise outside became her song, and this exquisite sedan chair became her coffin.

Farewell, Brother Xun.

I love you.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the General's Palace, and people crowded to celebrate this grand wedding ceremony. Ji Zheng gestured to everyone, then turned over and dismounted, and lifted the curtain on the outside of the sedan chair.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the crowd, Ji Zheng took Shuangdi's hand and walked out of the sedan chair, in the sound of people's blessings, Ji Zheng held Shuangdi's arm and slowly walked into the general's mansion.

The golden hairpin on Frost's head shone brightly, and there was no smile on her face, and no tears could be seen, as if a delicate flower was quietly blooming in the rain.

Is death the hardest?

No, being alive is.

If there is no longer any fear of death, what reason is there to be afraid of living?

She will never forget what Zhang Xun once said, no matter what, she can't give up hope, as long as she has hope, the world will not end, and a better day will eventually come. Even if everything is no longer perfect, even if she still has to bear great pain, she can't give up after all, because she knows that Zhang Xun will not give up, and they will definitely see each other again.

Ji Zheng took Frost's hand, stepped through the corridor covered with flower petals, and walked towards the cave room amid cheers.

The two were in the same room for the first time, and Ji Zheng didn't say anything, just turned around and left the cave room and went to the main hall to entertain the guests.

Frost sat alone in the cave room, letting the outside world call for joy. She no longer cried, and her heart was as calm as a pool. She rubbed the carved wooden rabbit repeatedly, and her mind kept recalling those images of the past.

The time in the memories crossed the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the frost looked out the window, the sun gradually dimmed, and the noisy noise calmed down, the day was coming to an end.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door outside, and Frost's calm heart suddenly jumped, and she hid behind the door and pulled the latch tightly.

"Princess, eat something." The bride-in-waiting knocked softly on the door.

"No, I'm not hungry......" Frost Tu heard a voice that wasn't Ji Zheng outside, and then relaxed a little.

"Princess, you haven't eaten for a day, eat something, don't go hungry."

"No, no, let me be alone for a while......"

For some reason, tears welled up in his eyes again.

It was getting dark, and the moonlight was shining through the window, and there was no movement around.

Frosty sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the stars.

Brother Xiaoxun, where are you?

You always say don't give up hope, but where is the hope?

What can I do to meet you?

I miss you so much......
