Chapter 169: Fate
She can endure more than ordinary men...... The pain in her heart and the pain in her body can torture her to death every moment, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, desperately supporting the sobriety, and using her thin shoulders to support the vulnerable General's Mansion. The more he got along with Yun Luan, the clearer he understood that she had a unique charm that other women did not have. Xiao Tingyan was the first to come to worship, and the entire general's mansion was empty, as if he was mercilessly mocking, this is a generation of loyal ministers, exhausting the blood of generations of descendants, protecting the family and defending the country to the end of the sadness. He followed Yunluan and entered the mourning hall. At the end of the service, he looked up at the empty, lonely mourning hall. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't anyone come to worship?" ”
Thinking of Yun Fuqing, loyal to the country, fighting on the battlefield for many years, guarding the subjects of Nanchu for decades, and now he sacrificed in this tragic way, those courtiers, but because they were afraid of King Rui, they were all like quails, and they did not dare to come forward to worship. One by one is like a turtle with a shrunken head, which vividly interprets the selfishness and coldness of human nature. It's really sad, it's sad, it's ridiculous! A little mockery flashed in Yun Luan's eyes: "Maybe I'm afraid of offending King Rui......" Xiao Tingyan wanted to say something to comfort Yun Luan, but in the end, he found that he didn't know what to say. The sister-in-law had already adjusted her state at this time, she leaned over slightly, and thanked Xiao Tingyan: "Thank you for your help just now, and punish my vicious stepmother for me......" "If it weren't for the prince, I'm afraid my father would continue to make trouble in the General's Mansion." ”
Xiao Tingyan waved his hand: "Sister-in-law Yun doesn't have to be polite, we are all a family, and we should help each other." ”
Family? The sister-in-law looked up at Xiao Tingyan in some surprise...... Yun Tian also looked up in horror. Yun Luan was a little stunned, she subconsciously wanted to pull Xiao Tingyan's sleeves and ask him not to inform her family about the marriage for the time being. Who knows, Xiao Tingyan didn't seem to see her hint, but he replied without humility or arrogance: "Oh, I'm afraid you don't know yet, sister-in-law Yun...... Not long after Luan'er went to the border, the king asked the emperor for a marriage decree. Now, Luan'er is the fiancée of this king and the future princess of Yan. ”
This piece of information was like thunder on the ground, and it blew up the sister-in-law and Yun Tian dumbfounded. Marriage? Luan'er? When did Xiao Si become so close to King Yan? How come they don't know anything? What happened in the middle, an earth-shattering event? They looked at Xiao Tingyan in disbelief, and then turned their heads to look at Yun Luan in unison. "Little Four, is this true?"
"Little Si, when did you cross paths with King Yan? Actually got married? ”
Yun Luan was a little helpless and sighed. She was a little annoyed, and glanced at Xiao Tingyan lightly. Xiao Tingyan looked confused, and looked at Yun Luan in a daze: "What's wrong?" You just hinted to the king that you would first conceal the meaning of our marriage contract? ”
Yun Luan stared at his helpless face, and there was a moment of trance, could it be that he didn't guess the meaning of her hint just now? Forget it, for the sake of him not knowing, she forgave him! She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her sister-in-law and Yun Tian and explained: "This matter is a long story. It's not a few words, you can say it clearly......" Who knows, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Tingyan. "Actually, the marriage was begged by the king from Luan'er to the emperor. This king didn't have much intersection with her before, but five years ago, by chance, this king met Luan'er once, and since then he fell in love with her at first sight. ”
"This king has been waiting for her to grow up, and this year she is sixteen years old, and it is time for her to marry. In order to prevent it, someone cut off the beard, so the king made the first move, and asked Luan'er for a marriage decree. Luan'er was also kept in the dark about this...... She was also unaware. But the holy decree has been issued, even if she is unwilling, she can't resist the decree......" The sister-in-law frowned and looked at Xiao Tingyan suspiciously. Yun Tian was frightened and couldn't suppress her excitement, she pulled Yun Luan's sleeve out of the mourning hall and walked around a corner. "Little Four, you really don't have any news, and you don't give us any news. I'm really going to be scared to death by you...... Why was she so suddenly given a marriage and wanted to become a princess? ”
"Feast on the king...... He must be ten years older than you, there must be a big generation gap between you. He's also too domineering, and he won't tell you a word when he asks for marriage? ”
Yun Qian couldn't help but reprimand Xiao Tingyan, Yun Luan listened helplessly, without saying a word, she really didn't know how to explain this matter. Originally, she didn't want to tell her family the news so early. Who knows, Xiao Tingyan actually said it so suddenly. Moreover, what else did he say, that he had admired her for a long time? He said that five years ago, he fell in love with her at first sight? She felt that he was simply lying. Five years ago, she was only eleven years old and still a child, how did he fall in love with her at first sight? At that time, she ran to the barracks all day long, like a wild child, not a girl. How did he, a twenty-one-year-old boy, fall in love with an eleven-year-old tomboy at first sight? When you think about it, you don't think it's possible. Yun Luan recalled his thoughts and had to sigh: "The difference of ten years is not very big." When a man is older, he should know how to hurt people. Along the way, if it weren't for the king of the banquet to take care of me, I am afraid that I would not be able to safely escort so many corpses of the Yun family army back to Beijing. ”
"Moreover, it is precisely because of his help that I was able to successfully clear my father's grievances and save the Yun family from the scourge of raiding the house. The emperor's marriage is not a bad thing for us......" Yun Tian coughed in a low voice a little uncomfortably: "Old ...... The old man does know how to hurt people. That's good, too...... Pretty good. ”
"But this news, I think it's better not to tell my mother now, I'm afraid that she won't be able to stand the stimulation, and her condition will worsen."
After all, before, because Xiao Si was infatuated with King Rui, his mother was very jealous of Xiao Si knowing other men in the royal family. If this is to let the mother know that Xiaosi is already the future princess of the banquet, the mother has to vomit blood. Yun Luan naturally knew his mother's prejudice against the royal family. She nodded hurriedly: "Well, please ask the third sister and sister-in-law to keep this matter secret for me." ”
Yun tilted her head and glanced at the side of the mourning hall, she mysteriously approached Yun Luan's ear: "But the fourth sister, the third sister is honest, this banquet king is really good-looking...... She really deserves to be the first beauty of our Nanchu. ”
"You can marry him, it's not a loss, but there is one point, his body and bones are not very good, maybe you will have to stay alive and widowed in the future. In some ways, he should not be able to satisfy you. ”
