Chapter 197: Remembering the Old Love
Taizu experienced ups and downs in his life, fought in the south and the north, and opened up the territory of Dali. The harem is also turbulent and ups and downs, with three queens and three abolished princes, and many heirs under their knees.
However, there is only one pair of sisters in the same mother of Emperor Yuanhe, which is the current Princess Changping and Princess Ning'an, the biological mother of the lord of Mingzhu.
When Emperor Yuan He ascended the throne, he was naturally the most affectionate to his sisters-in-law. Princess Changping is the eldest sister, when Taizu was given to marry in order to stabilize the throne of Emperor Yuanhe, it is rare to be harmonious, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate.
On the contrary, it is the royal sister Princess Anning, Emperor Yuanhe was still young when he ascended the throne, and when he reached the marriageable age, Emperor Yuanhe's throne was already stable, and there was no need to sacrifice the princess to marry.
Emperor Yuanhe's biological mother died early, and she naturally loved this imperial sister and decided to choose a good marriage for her. I don't want Princess Ning'an to secretly admire Gu Hou, and she won't marry you.
At that time, Gu Hou almost declined, only Gu Hou competed, and the scientific examination high school was glorious. At that time, Gu Hou had already been in love with his cousin, and agreed to stay in Gu Hou High School and come to the door to propose.
I don't want Princess Ning'an to take a peek at the apricot garden banquet and fall in love with it at first sight, Yuan He Emperor thought about it again and again and decided to fulfill Princess Anning, and the royal concubine thanked her in public that day.
The emperor gave the marriage in public, and Gu Hou was speechless, so he had to accept the decree for the time being, and wanted to express his heart in private. However, the parents at home were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they were forced to die, and Gu Hou was forced to be helpless, so they had to marry the princess.
The concubine was not allowed to take a concubine, but although Gu Hou failed his cousin, he complained about Princess An Ning in his heart. On the surface, they respect each other like guests, but in private, they have never met the princess again except for the wedding night.
Gu Hou abandoned love and devoted himself to the public, he was originally a pillar, and he had the identity of his sister-in-law, so he naturally became Emperor Yuanhe's confidant. And Princess An Ning didn't know if she was fortunate and unlucky, but she was pregnant.
Although Princess An Ning is pregnant, although she is tormenting, she is happy in her heart, thinking that after having a child, she will gradually get closer to her husband. But I didn't want the cousin to find Gu Hou again, and came to run in a difficult situation.
Gu Houyuan felt guilty about it, so he placed him outside to give birth. The two of them have the intention of having a concubine, and the cousin ended up now because of Gu Hou, and the old love was rekindled after coming and going.
Princess An Ning found out that her husband was strange, and asked her henchmen to secretly find out the ins and outs of the matter, and she was depressed since then. The current situation is no wonder to take care of, no wonder to her cousin, but Princess An Ning is also deeply affected.
Although it was unintentional, it harmed three people.
If Princess An Ning is a thinker, she will pretend to be confused and get by. Even if Gu Hou is a bastard, he will not put things on the bright side, let alone dare to let him give birth to an heir, that cousin is at most an outer room.
Even if he had a little more courage, or expelled his cousin from Beijing in the name of justice, Gu Hou could only swallow his anger if he turned the sky upside down. Or simply close and leave this Tan muddy water.
But Princess Ning'an has been called Yuan He Emperor too much since she was a child, and she can't rub sand in her eyes. He is too good to be such a bully. can't let go of his admiration for his husband, and he still cares about the child in his womb, so he endures it all his life.
Even when she was about to give birth, she saw her cousin looking at the door, and she was frightened and caused premature birth, and she gave birth to Gu Yueyao when she stepped into the ghost gate.
failed to give birth to the eldest grandson of the Gu family, her husband didn't want to touch her again, and she had someone outside, and she became more and more embarrassed about Gu Yueyao's situation in the Gu family.
Princess Ning'an is pampered too well, like a slim flower, and her delicate petals can't withstand the slightest wind and rain. Depressed in the heart, the medicine stone was in vain, and finally ended up depressed and died in a blushing face.
Princess Ning'an's death did have a fault, but Princess Ning'an was not completely innocent, and even Emperor Yuanhe was at fault. Emperor Yuanhe was sad in his heart, but he couldn't blame Gu Hou for everything.
Not to mention Gu Yueyao, the affairs of the court are a major event, and Gu Hou is already the right-hand man of Emperor Yuanhe. In the end, Emperor Yuanhe reprimanded Gu Hou in public, and was demoted two levels in a row, almost losing the title, but finally gave up.
A year later, Gu Hou finally got what he wanted, and Zhengda Guangming married his cousin. Princess Ning'an didn't even have an heir to inherit the Gu family's title, and neither could the emperor, so she had to issue an edict not to do anything big, and took Gu Yueyao to the palace.
Although Gu Yueyao lost her mother when she was young, and now she doesn't remember her mother's voice and smile at all, she has the same stubbornness as Princess Ning'an in her bones. I have liked Ji Lingyun since I was a child, and I have never changed my mind, which can be described as a deep regret.
If this is a happy relationship, it is naturally good, but it is obviously just unrequited love, which becomes hurting others and hurting oneself.
has the experience of Princess Ning'an, and it is no wonder that Princess Changping is worried.
The wedding banquet lasted until nightfall, but Ji Lingyun obviously couldn't pull out. Bai Yanran excused herself for lack and went back first, with a lot of thoughts in her mind along the way, she returned home in a daze, lying in bed and tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
In the middle of the night, the door of the bedroom "creaked" abruptly, and Bai Yanran, who had not been asleep, immediately woke up.
Outside, Zhu Ling closed the door lightly, someone approached cautiously, Bai Yanran smelled a smell of wine, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Ji Lingyun had already bathed and sobered up when he came back, but he had really drunk too much today, and he still had the smell of alcohol on his body, and he was still drunk.
Seeing that Bai Yanran was asleep, he lifted the quilt and lay beside him with his hands and feet, and quietly surrounded Bai Yanran from behind before he sighed and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Ji Lingyun had a cold chill outside, but Bai Yanran felt inexplicably relieved to be held in his arms. The troubled thoughts in my mind gradually withdrew, and I finally fell asleep after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
Ji Lingyun has been busy for many days, and he had another hangover last night, which coincided with today's rest, and when Ji Lingyun woke up, the bedside was already empty. Sitting on the bed and rubbing his aching forehead, Ji Lingyun was quite regretful. Worry-free Literature Network
Summoned a girl to come in and wait for freshening, and ate casually with two bites, and Bai Yanran was reconciling when she found someone. Ji Lingyun was about to go over, when he saw Bai Yanran suddenly cover her lips and retched twice, and Su Xin hurriedly handed over the tea.
Ji Lingyun suddenly blessed his heart, rushed forward and stroked Bai Yanran's back, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the lady, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
Su Xin looked at Ji Lingyun a little strangely, thinking to herself why the young lady was not feeling well, but the prince seemed happy.
Bai Yanran was also stunned, and then lowered her eyes and smiled: "It's just that I drank two glasses of wine during the banquet yesterday, and my appetite is a little bad, so the prince doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Ji Lingyun responded, but the smile on his lips faded a little. turned to sit on the side, holding Bai Yanran's hand behind herself, looking at the account book in her hand, she retracted her gaze without looking at a page, and said: "It's dizzy, this account looks even more headache, fortunately, there is a lady." ”
After that, he said: "Fortunately, Mr. didn't fall his leg and didn't hurt the bones, so he will be able to raise it for two more days." It's just that the gentleman is stubborn, and he can't be borrowed to recuperate in the house, and it's always remembered, so I'll go and see it again in a while. ”
Pei Tang has always been unrestrained, and sometimes his temperament is a little eccentric. Before the New Year's Festival, Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran wanted to keep him in the mansion to celebrate the New Year together, but they were rejected by Pei Tang with a blow of beard and glare, so they had to give up.
I don't want it to be an accident in the past few days, the children in the yard next door threw the firecrackers over playfully, and they landed at the feet of Pei Tang, who was stepping on a stool to hang lanterns, and the sound of firecrackers frightened him and slipped and fell.
Fortunately, the stool was not high, the fall was not too bad, and there was no injury to the bones. It's just that Pei Tang is old, and he has to lie down and recuperate for a day after such a fall, and he doesn't want to come to the house to say that he is afraid of people's jokes.
Bai Yanran counted the last two items, put down the pen and said, "I'm also busy, let's go together." ”
The two went out together, and Ah Wu skillfully drove the carriage around the narrow alley. Although it is a little far away from the palace, the small courtyard is spacious and clean, and the residence is not aggrieved.
With Pei Tang's temperament, I am afraid that Ji Lingyun will send a spacious courtyard, and he will not want to move his nest. It was the old woman who was waiting for Pei Tang on the same day who came to open the door, and she was very familiar with Ji Lingyun.
Standing in the courtyard, I heard the sound of someone talking inside, and when I went in, I saw an eight or nine-year-old boy standing in front of Pei Tang's couch, holding a picture album in his hand for Pei Tang to see.
Pei Tang was originally joking with the child, but when he saw Bai Yanran, he was a little embarrassed, glared at Ji Lingyun and said, "I'm just a minor injury, why are the princesses here?" ”
Pei Tang was used to being unbridled and chic, and he didn't accept the old age, and he was so frightened by the child's firecrackers that he fell and had to stay in bed to recuperate. For fear that it would be spread out and make people laugh, Bai Yanran naturally looked sneering when he saw it.
Bai Yanran knew that Pei Tang was uncomfortable, and talked to the boy and child on the side.
It turned out that this child was the culprit of Pei Tang's injury, because his home was next door, and he was close to Pei Tang on weekdays.
Because Pei Tang often teased him, he thought about throwing the firecrackers over to Pei Tang that day, not wanting to cause trouble. After being learned by the family, he was inevitably beaten, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he came to accompany Pei Tang to relieve his boredom.
This child is not afraid of being born, and when he saw Bai Yanran, he still felt close, and took the album in his hand to offer treasures. Pei Tang and Ji Lingyun were originally talking, but they couldn't help but look at each other at this moment.
Pei Tang and Ji Lingyun muttered: "Look how much your wife likes children, don't hurry up and have a child, what's the trouble, there are people in the house who watch the children, and don't want you and the princess to take care of it yourself......"
Ji Lingyun was scared of his nagging, so he hurriedly ran to tease the child, pretending to be interested in the shoddy album. The kid was really fooled, and happily told Ji Lingyun about the story in the album, and Ji Lingyun was also very patient.
The two stayed until after lunch before being driven back by Pei Tang on the grounds that they wanted to take a nap, and Ji Lingyun in the car couldn't help but recall when Pei Tang was young, Bai Yanran said: "I don't know how many students were taught by Mr. back then, and they all said that they would be teachers for one day and fathers for life, only the prince really respected Mr., which shows that the prince is a person who cares about the old love." ”
Ji Lingyun heard that her words had a deep meaning, and Bai Yanran also got straight to the point and told the story of Princess Changping yesterday.
Ji Lingyun looked at Bai Yanran after hearing this and said, "Actually, my aunt told me before, but I didn't respond, so she entrusted you here." Yanran, if you are unhappy in your heart, you don't have to embarrass yourself, I won't let you be wronged. ”
Bai Yanran held Ji Lingyun's hand and smiled softly: "But the prince is a person who cares about old love, even if the prince refuses to take care of my thoughts, he must feel uncomfortable." The prince thinks about me, and the concubine is willing to make it difficult for the prince. ”
After returning to Linglong Xiaozhu, Su Xin cautiously asked: "Since the prince has refused, then the princess can't blame the young lady, why should the young lady persuade the prince to go to see the pearl county lord again?" ”
Bai Yanran replied indifferently: "The prince has never had a relationship between men and women for the lord of Mingzhu, and even if he goes to see him, he will not suddenly change his mind. Although the prince refused, he must feel guilty.
And the prince refused the entrustment of Princess Changping before, but now he is willing to go because I have changed my mind, which is probably even more sad for the lord of Mingzhu, who has always been arrogant.
Let the prince persuade her, but also let her see her dead heart clearly, so that it is good for everyone, so as not to really mistake her life. ”
Su Xin suddenly realized, was happy again, and said: "What Miss said is right, the prince really cares about Miss." Today I listened to the prince talking to Mr. Pei, and the prince actually told Mr. Pei that he had not had children because he didn't like children. ”
Su Xin paused deliberately when she said this, looked at Bai Yanran and said: "The prince said that he was trying to prevent Miss from being talked about, but in the end it is not a long-term solution, otherwise we will cut off the medicine prescribed by Dr. Sun first, right?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Bai Yanran shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer, it's not time yet." ”
