Chapter 184: First Meeting
After a night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At noon the next day, Wu Ming drove to Ling Tianxue's house in Daliang.
But the result was that Ling Tian Snowman was not in Daliang, but in Xin'an City in Hedong.
It's right to think about it, at the beginning of the Fengyue Tower in Xin'an City, many things in it should be more distinctive than the girder's. And it should have been busy at first.
Another day without incident. Wu Ming, who is not in the barracks, lives the same life almost every day.
Time flickered, and another half a month passed.
Early in the morning of this day, the first person Wu Ming saw when he went out was still Gongziwei, but surprisingly, this time Gongziwei did not prepare those things for washing.
Instead, he knelt down directly to Wu Ming, "I wish to worship the general as a teacher, and ask the general to be fulfilled." ā
As the voice drifted away, Gongzi Wei had already begun to kowtow heavily.
For a month, no one in the palace came to see him, and the courtiers did not come to see him. He also thought about it a lot, maybe this is King Hui asking him to change himself.
He himself has said more than once that he wants to change himself completely. But he never had the confidence he had at the beginning, and it was not until today that he had the courage to speak out.
But this time, Wu Ming just glanced at him quietly and said, "The identity of the son is noble, how can Wu Ming be virtuous." Or ask the prince to consider living in the palace with peace of mind, carefree, wouldn't it be happy. ā
After the words fell, Wu Ming turned around and continued today's practice.
Gongzi Wei was at a loss where to kneel, with a blank face.
At noon, a minister came forward to say that King Hui urgently summoned Wu Ming into the palace to meet him.
After following the ministers to the palace, Wu Ming was not directly led to King Wei Hui. Instead, he was taken to the back garden not far from the Jing Palace.
Inside, the artificially built mountains and rivers are beautiful. Walk down a trail that looks like it's cutting through the clear stream. The sound of running water on both sides brings a refreshing feeling.
But when he arrived at a pavilion, the minister also stopped, turned around, and said to Wu Ming: "Your Majesty said, please ask the general to come over in a while, he will come over soon." ā
"I'm tired." Wu Ming also arched his hand at the minister, and returned the salute lightly.
Then the ministers turned around and retreated, while Wu Ming looked around and looked at the scenery here.
Although Wu Ming also went around a lot in the back garden of this palace. But it's really the first time I've been here. See you for the first time. He couldn't help but look at it carefully.
And what he didn't know was.
It's in the Jing Palace not far from this pavilion. King Wei Hui was sitting quietly opposite a woman.
The woman had big eyes and was thin, looking malnourished. Although the face is delicate and lovely.
But I don't know what the reason is, that face is always haggard, and it's not an exaggeration to say that pear blossoms bring rain.
In the palace, in addition to a few cases where the two of them sat opposite each other, there were also a few lamps around them, and there were some women's pianos and other things under the windows.
In short, compared to other places in the palace, this place is definitely simple and poor.
"Mer!" After being silent for a long time, King Wei Hui finally let out a long sigh, and his voice was very caring: "How are you doing lately?" In the past few years as a father, I really can't help you. ā
After speaking, it seemed that even King Hui felt that there was something wrong with his words, so he couldn't help but lower his head and blush.
"Father Xie cares, and his daughter is fine." Princess Ruimei just lowered her head and looked at the empty cases.
Although he said so, he didn't know what to think in his heart.
Hearing this, King Wei Hui pursed his lips and didn't know how to speak for a while. He only felt that he really owed this daughter too much.
Jinggong, originally lived by Ruimei and her sister Ruilian.
Ten years ago, after Ruilian married Pang Juan, this became Ruimei's residence alone.
Originally, it was a lively hall. In the end, because Ruimei made King Wei Hui unhappy, this became the place where Princess Ruimei was imprisoned.
Although there are flowers, water, and rockeries, there is no one else here except for a serving palace maid.
King Wei Hui gave an order that outsiders were not allowed to enter, and Princess Ruimei was not allowed to enter. The reason for all this is simply because Princess Ruimei likes someone she shouldn't like.
Now that she has parted from that person, it has been ten years in a hurry.
In ten years, she has grown from a little girl who doesn't know anything to a beautiful woman like a flower. But the more this person grows up, the darker her life becomes.
"Mer...... For the Father to know, you are not to blame for this, but you know the situation at that time, the things at that time. At that time, you were young and didn't understand anything. But now that those things are in the past, you still don't understand? I don't know how long it took for King Wei Hui to finally say what he wanted to say.
When those words came out, King Hui's face was full of helplessness.
But Princess Ruimei's face showed a miserable and miserable smile.
"Mei'er understands, it's been ten years, how can you not understand-" The worried voice slowly came out of Princess Ruimei's mouth, and finally she let out two sneers.
This was the first time she had sneered like this in front of King Wei Hui.
King Wei Hui's heart trembled when he heard that voice.
"Father has something, you might as well say it directly. What's so hard to say right now! For the sake of national affairs, you can give anything, and the relatives around you ...... Hehe, what else can't be said now?! She laughed, mocking. In the face of a king, this woman did not have the slightest awe, even fear.
Everything is right for her. But then again, what dare not say anything about a woman who has been imprisoned for ten years?
The good years are wasted in this miserable deep palace where there is only thinking about it every day. What is there she that she doesn't dare to say?
Perhaps at this time, Ruimei has long lost the heart to live. His heart only has the concern of love.
At this time, King Wei Hui was obviously a little angry. No one had ever dared to speak like that in front of him, never.
It's the first time! I didn't expect it to be my daughter who said this to her face.
But at this time, as a king, he has no way. The anger was directly suppressed by him with a few heavy gasps.
"Mei'er, for my father to know...... Knowing that you haven't had a good time in the past ten years, you want to get out. Today I want to tell you about your outing. As he spoke, King Hui's two eyes had already looked directly at Ruimei, "How about it, think about it?" ā
"Think? Did Father really make Mei'er think? Hehe......" Looking at King Wei Hui's blazing gaze, Princess Rui Mei sneered again, "What if Mei'er doesn't want to go out?" ā
"Don't want to go out? How so? It's so miserable here, haven't you always wanted to get out of here? Suddenly, King Wei Hui asked loudly, "Haven't you been waiting for the day when your father promised to let you out?" ā
"A day out? What Mei'er thinks, does the father really not know? The voice was still extremely miserable, but in the face of King Wei Hui's questioning, he definitely didn't have the slightest fear, "If you can't be together, even if you go out for a walk?" For Mei'er, she can't be with Mr. Sun, even if she leaves the Jing Palace, where is it not a prison in this world. ā
It is unimaginable that a woman in her twenties would be so desperate for life.
Hearing this, King Wei Hui's two eyes straightened, and his heart was even more tasteless and messy.
"Mr. Sun? Do you know that Sun Bin has been abolished, has been abolished, do you know ......" This sentence was almost roared out by King Wei Hui: "Isn't it possible that in ten years, you can't forget about him?" ā
For the first time, he roared at his relatives, even if Gongzi Wei almost buried the entire Wei State, he just thought about killing Gongzi Wei, but he wouldn't talk nonsense with him at all.
"Listen to the words of the monarch, now the monarch has made a good medium for you. The current general of my Wei State, this person is brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and he will not be worse than that Sun Bin in any aspect. How about you think about it again? ā
"I don't want to." The answer to him was still two cold words, "In this world, except for Mr., Mei'er has no worries." It didn't matter three years ago whether you went out or not. ā
"What if the Father has to let you go?" With his eyes wide open, King Wei Hui asked viciously.
But for a long time I didn't hear any answer.
"Now that the situation in the Wei State is unreasonable, if you don't do this for your father, you should help your father, okay? Even if all this is self-inflicted on the father, but if you turn back, there must be a way out.
You shouldn't know that a year ago, General Pang Juan was defeated and Shen'er was captured, and now he is a hostage.
At that time, the country and the capable ministers, but there were strong enemies outside! It was at this time that General Wu was curious, and Pang Juan came to his father's side out of thin air! Fatherhood really is! Ay......
As long as you agree to this family business, your father will no longer ask about it. As a father, you can also crown that person as a king, and you will have the final say in Hedong in the future? ā
Princess Ruimei still just lowered her head and didn't say a word.
After another period of dullness, King Wei Hui roared again, "Even if I beg you for my father, it's good......"
This is a father's identity, a father's coercion and temptation to beg his daughter. As the monarch of the court, his courtiers coerce and lure. Now, as a father, he is doing this to his daughter.
ā¦ā¦
In the pavilion, Wu Ming waited for more than an hour.
Finally, when he was about to feel irritable, a plain and gentle female voice sounded beside him, "Are you General Wu?" ā
Turning around, Wu Ming didn't even look at the woman in front of him, and directly bowed down and said, "Exactly, dare to ask the girl?" ā
"The little woman Ruimei has seen the general."
"Wu Ming has seen Princess Ruimei."
At this time, Wu Ming could be regarded as understanding. This trip was not summoned by King Wei Hui, the purpose was to get to know this Princess Ruimei.
Come to think of it, the marriage has been proposed for a month, but I have never met Princess Ruimei. In Wu Ming's words, how can you let yourself see this forced marriage?
Although she is a princess, he Wu Ming really doesn't want to climb this relationship very much.
Now that he looked at Princess Ruimei in front of him, at least in terms of appearance, Wu Ming was not disgusted. As for this etiquette and everything, it is in place, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, in this era, staring directly at a woman is called faux pas.
Wu Ming just glanced at it by the way, then pointed to the seat on the side and said, "I didn't expect to meet the princess here, but it's good to be in such an elegant place." Princess, please. ā
"General Yaxing, please." Rui Mei just glanced at Wu Ming lightly, and there was no look in her eyes.
After the two of them took their seats, Wu Ming naturally saw the strangeness of Princess Ruimei.
"This place is so elegant, but there is only one palace, I don't know if it is the residence of the princess?" Looking at Rui Mei quietly, Wu Ming asked softly.
"Yes." Just one word, but Princess Ruimei didn't say anything more. That gaze always wandered on the vines behind Wu Ming. There was no interest in Wu Ming at all.
'Is this a blind date?' Wu Ming began to wonder.
But if not, how did she know that she was a general? If you come out to play, this princess must have a maid by her side.
"There are many miscellaneous trees in the atrium, and it is biased towards plum advice. Q: Why is it alone?
Thinking that it can be a flower in the frost, and it can be a solid in the dew.
The spring breeze is swaying, and the cold wind is scattered, and there is no frost in vain.
In the cold winter, Ruimei is arrogant. The princess has been unhappy recently, why and what? The gently rubbed voice slowly came out of Wu Ming's mouth.
"Good poetry. Hehe-" After a bleak smile, Princess Ruimei spoke directly: "The general knows why the monarch's father wants to promise you and me. ā
There is no evasion in saying this, from the beginning to the present, this Ruimei is short, but simple and clear.
The corners of Wu Ming's eyes moved slightly, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't have any gaffes, he just replied lightly: "I want to hear about it." ā
"The general has heard of General Pang Juan."
"This is natural, the world's famous generals, famous in the world."
"Ten years ago, Sister Ah was promised by her father to marry General Pang Juan. It's just that at that time, Sister A also fell in love with General Pang.
However, the monarch's father only had Wei in his heart, and he allowed his sister to marry General Pang, although they were happy with each other. In fact, it was the monarch's father who wanted to make General Pang feel at ease and get rid of some of the constraints in the court.
Recently, my father's move is nothing more than a repetition of the old trick. The general and the princess have never met. Dare to ask the general, but really, come for love? ā
Coming for love? Can it be for love? Even if it was love at first sight. But the two of them haven't seen each other before, have they?
But what does this Princess Ruimei mean by saying this bitterly? Do you want to see the true face of this marriage?
Smiling in his heart, Wu Ming raised his head and Rui Mei stared at each other in a daze, and at this moment, neither of them avoided it: "General Pang needs to get married to keep himself." Wu Ming is not better than General Pang, and it can also be said that he has no choice but to protect himself. The princess said this bluntly, as if there was something in her words. You and me, how about you say it bluntly? ā
