Li Yuan was originally angry, but when he heard Luo Shixin say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said a little dazedly: "You have a marriage contract, why have I never heard of it?" "There must be a truth in everything, and even if he is the emperor, he cannot force a married woman to remarry or a married man to divorce his wife.

In ancient times, when the emphasis was on temperance, the marriage contract was extremely important. As long as a man and a woman have a marriage contract, the woman can be regarded as the man's family even if she has not been through the door. Therefore, there is no shortage of people who do not pass through the door and keep the festival, and such people are often rewarded by the local government.

Luo Shixin said: "I have already agreed on the marriage a year ago, and the other party is the daughter of Zheng Renji. There was just a little accident, and the marriage was delayed. At the beginning of the year, when there is no auspicious day, it is decided to perform three books and six rituals after some time. ”

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "There are no three books and six ceremonies, but it is just a verbal agreement. I can't do it really, I personally gave the marriage, which is a great honor, and I can't compare to this verbal agreement? Besides, how can Zheng's daughter compare to the dignity of Pingyang? ”

Luo Shixin was secretly angry and said toughly: "In the end, the general will still forgive his fate and deceive the world, how can he deceive his conscience?" The daughter of the Zheng family is indeed not as good as the princess of Pingyang, but after all, she is the wife of the last general who has not passed the door, and she looks at her majesty to be self-respecting. ”

"You ......" Li Yuan couldn't be patient with his anger, but he had nowhere to vent, and shouted angrily: "Go down!" ”

Luo Shixin said slightly: "The last general will retire." ”

Walking out of the west hall of Taiji Palace, Luo Shixin faintly heard the sound of smashing things behind him, and couldn't help sighing, but he didn't have any regrets about today's decision, even if he offended Li Yuan, the emperor. For Princess Binh Duong. The little thought in my heart should be broken. But having said that, Pingyang's eyes and smiles still appear in his mind from time to time. There is always some empty nag in my heart.

Out of the imperial city, Luo Shixin walked aimlessly.

"Dada, da!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind them.

Luo Shi's confidence was touched, and when he looked back, who was the beautiful and agile figure, from time to time Pingyang? Looking at the eyes full of nobility and pride but with sadness, Luo Shixin couldn't help but look away. Dismount and bowed: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Pingyang also got off the horse, walked closer, and said softly: "Come with me!" ”

"Good!" Luo Shixin nodded silently.

The surrounding area of the imperial city was the administrative body of the Tang Dynasty. There were no extra pedestrians on the streets at this time, and the two walked aimlessly.

Long!

"Then ......" Pingyang said, "I don't know when, my father noticed my mind. I was called today as a surprise to me, but now it seems that it is more frightening than pleasantly surprised. ”

Luo Shixin didn't know how to speak. It is not easy for Pingyang to admit his affection for him calmly.

"I'm just here to ask for clarification. Is there really that her? Pingyang didn't even notice it, and when she said this, her tone trembled a little. She didn't really come for this, but she cared about the answer.

Luo Shixin nodded, sighed, and said, "Remember Yin Arat, I offended the reign of the dynasty on the first day I transferred to Chang'an, and it was her idea to help me." Set up Yin Arat. ”

Pingyang said quietly: "I really want to see her, I Pingyang is conceited and does not lose to anyone." But I don't want to be emotional for the first time in my life. As a result, it was a complete defeat. General, I know that you are not a pedantic person, let alone the kind of person who is bound by etiquette, I understand you, and the reason why you refuse to marry will not be because of the marriage contract...... I want to know the real reason. ”

Luo Shixin smiled a little distractedly, does this understand? yes, it's just that the answer is wrong.

"To be honest, my experience was a little different. The two women who have the most profound relationship in my life, one is the princess you, and the other is Zheng Liwan, and that is her. Luo Shixin said softly, a lot of things have happened in this world, but in fact, it has only been half a year. In the past six months, the only women who have really come into his life can influence him are Pingyang and Zheng Liwan.

"Remember, the first time we met?" Luo Shixin had a smile on his face, and with good memories, he curled his mouth.

Pingyang also remembered that day, by chance, by mistake, and a touch of shame appeared on his face.

"When I first met the princess, I didn't know the identity of the princess, but I thought there was such a beautiful woman in the world. It would be nice if I could marry her. Do you know that the princess's robe left by the river is still on my house? As for why I kept it, maybe it was the excitement after the meeting. ”

Later, when I learned the identity of the princess, my heart was naturally full of respect. As a woman, she supported the Li family for half a day in Guanzhong, and achieved feats that even the crown prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin could not match, laying a solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. In today's world, only Her Royal Highness the princess can do this, which is unconvincing. Therefore, Your Highness can rest assured, I have never had the slightest thought of underestimating Your Highness. ”

Luo Shixin continued: "After I met Zheng Liwan as a princess, the deceit that came out of the little chronology made me full of curiosity, and because of this, Brother Cheng had a misunderstanding, so that he decided to settle the family matter. Who wants to get the little girl's thinking and intelligence to be mature, but her character is a rebellious girl who longs for the approval of others. I misunderstood the object of my marriage, and I escaped to my house after escaping from marriage. ”

Pingyang was a little ridiculous, and he didn't know how to express his feelings.

"After a long time together, the little girl came into my life. Teasing her every day is my favorite thing to do, and I gradually recognized the fact that she is my fiancée. Luo Shixin said this, stopped, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had touched his heart: "Zheng Liwan is my approved fiancée, and I have the responsibility of a husband to her." So there is no choice at all, there is only one answer. ”

What he said was categorical: If love at first sight is used to describe the feeling of Pingyang, then Zheng Liwan is the feeling of slowly sublimating in getting along. So the two of them often appear in his mind, and he is not sure which one he likes now.

Although he is not a pedantic person, and he will not let etiquette be bound for no reason, the reason why he can choose Zheng Liwan is precisely the marriage contract, the responsibility of an unmarried husband is also the responsibility of a man.

Pingyang smiled and said, "I understand, then don't bother the general, take a step first......" She turned over and got on her horse, whipping her whip violently, without making any stops.

It came suddenly, and it went in a hurry.

Luo Shixin looked at the distant back and sighed wistfully.

Pingyang didn't dare to do any stay, she noticed that her tears couldn't help falling, and there was only one thought in her mind, which was to escape, to run away.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she had burst into tears.

Tears rolled down uncontrollably......

Wipe it again, wipe it inexhaustibly.

How long has it been since you cried?

Pingyang herself can't remember clearly, she just remembers that the last time she cried was when she learned that her mother Dou had died, nearly ten years ago.

"Binh Duong, Binh Duong!"

Pingyang heard Li Yuan's voice, hurriedly wiped away his tears, calmed down, and saw Li Yuan hurrying over on a horse in civilian clothes from a distance, with a group of chaotic Yuan Cong forbidden troops behind him, and a trace of warmth flowed in his heart.

Yuan Cong's forbidden army was selected by Li Yuan from among the veterans who raised troops from Taiyuan, and the Xuanjia army was inferior to Li Shimin's in terms of loyalty and combat effectiveness. Now that they look like this, it can be seen how hurried Li Yuan came out.

Li Yuan was annoyed and regretful in his heart, and he was so confident that he hurt Pingyang. He originally intended to give Pingyang a surprise, but he didn't want the result to be Luo Shixin's refusal to marry, and after Pingyang learned about it, he hurriedly left the palace alone. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, worried that Pingyang was sick and had an accident, so he ran out of the palace on horseback to find Pingyang's whereabouts without any preparation. So much so that Yuan Cong's forbidden army temporarily followed behind, and the formation was not in order.

Let Yuan wait far away from the forbidden army, Li Yuan came to the nearest place, saw Pingyang's eyes were red, a little swollen, and his heart was even more angry, as a father since Kaizhi had only seen Pingyang cry twice, he was bitter and hateful, and said angrily: "I have countless heroes in the Tang Dynasty, I don't believe that I can't find a better one than Luo Shixin?" Good daughter, don't worry, my father will definitely find you a satisfactory Langjun. ”

Pingyang shook his head and said, "Father, don't mix this matter." The daughter is tired and doesn't marry anyone. ”

Li Yuan was even more angry when he heard this: "I own the world, so I don't believe that I can't do this." When I turned around, I made a decree to give him a marriage, promised you to him, and then made a decree to find a royal prince who had not yet married and let him marry the daughter of the Zheng family...... Does that kid really dare to resist the order? Even if he is determined to resist the will, he doesn't believe that Zheng Renji has the courage to do so. ”

Pingyang was very moved, but he shouted solemnly: "Father, the monarch's power is ordered by heaven, how can he do anything wrong." With such a mess, how can I be stable? Could it be that my father wants me to die in the Li Tang generation, and I can't laugh at the world. She drank a little bit of the style of the Dou family in the past.

Li Yuan was excited, calmed down, sighed for a long time, looked at his baby daughter, and didn't know what to do.

Pingyang came to the nearest place and said softly: "My daughter is fine, my heart is broken, it will be fine after a while, and I haven't had time to wipe the uneven wound...... Here I hope that the father and the emperor will agree to his daughter. ”

Li Yuan was already guilty, and when he heard that Pingyang had something to ask for, he hurriedly said: "If there is something, although it is said, my father will definitely respond to you." ”

"The general is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and his daughter doesn't blame him for making such a decision. He who made such a decision was the person his daughter looked up to, and I implored my father not to be angry with him because of this matter. Pingyang knew Li Yuan's character of protecting the calf, and took a preventive shot in advance.

The matter spread out, and Pingyang also calmly faced his affection for Luo Shixin, caught up and made the last insistence, and did not want to give up. But listening to Luo Shixin's heartfelt words, she understood that Luo Shixin had made the final choice, and she had no chance.

Some can only be blessings......

"You......" Li Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Father should be you." (To be continued......)
