The tenth day of the ninth month is a rare good day in the year for marriage, children and grandchildren, and national fortune.

It is also the first happy event ushered in in the first year of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

An Xuanhou's mansion was cleaned inside and out, red colors were hung everywhere, and the new moon was still standing indifferently in the room where she occasionally lived, and at this moment there were only Mama Wang, Fei'er and Feng'er accompanying the new moon in the house.

Xinyue looked at herself standing in the mirror, at this moment she had changed into a blue and red Zhai clothes, the curtain fell, Fei'er was squatting on the ground, buttoning her one by one made of Dongzhu.

Mama Wang stood on tiptoe with some embarrassment, sorting out the phoenix crown on the head of the new moon.

Xinyue said to Mama Wang, "Mama, I've been wearing this crown for half an hour, it's okay, it won't fall off." ”

"Then who knows, girl, you have never brought such a big crown, the old slave also brought a crown for her when he was serving the princess, and the princess can only wear three phoenix crowns, this one on the top of the girl's head, but there are nine dragons and nine phoenixes, is your neck okay?" Mama Wang touched Xinyue's neck uneasily, and sure enough, she felt that she was a little struggling and lowered her head slightly.

The tassel fell, and Crescent reached out to tidy it up, without speaking.

Feng'er took out the forbidden step from the box, Xinyue reached out and took it, hung it on her waist, looked at the forbidden step in the mirror that pressed the side of her skirt, Xinyue couldn't help but shed tears, and said to Mama Wang, "Mama, when I received this gift, I only felt that I might not have the opportunity to wear it in my life, but what I didn't expect was that I actually wanted to wear it and become someone else's wife again." ”

Mama Wang sorted out the strap on the side and said to Xinyue, "Girl, don't think about it anymore, it's useless to think about it again." ”

Crescent nodded, "I know, I know." ”

"Girl, don't cry, it's not good if your makeup is spent." As she spoke, Feng'er wiped away the tears on her cheeks for Xinyue, and then whispered to Xinyue, "Girl, in fact, Your Majesty is also good to you." ”

Xinyue sighed and didn't speak, she was thinking about what Rong Ying told him that day.

Needless to say, the food of Liubaozhai is exquisite and delicious, and what is more loved is naturally the quiet and private environment, Xinyue bent down and walked under the bead curtain, Rong Yingcai looked back at her and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have cleared a little." ”

Xinyue bent down, and said in a faint voice, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"This is outside the palace, so you don't have to be restrained." Rong Ying's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he looked at the new moon that suddenly had so many salutes, and suddenly felt that she was a little strange.

"Yes" Crescent stood up, bowing her head respectfully and submissively.

"What's wrong with you?" Rong Ying was surprised.

Xinyue didn't think so, "The little girl is fine." ”

"Xu Xinyue..."Rong Ying raised her voice, and before she could say anything, she saw that Xinyue was about to kneel, and immediately said loudly, "If you kneel for me, I will send your brother's whole family." ”

Crescent Moon felt a sour look in her eyes, stopped her movements, and then cried out, "What the hell do you want me to do?" What do you want me to do? ”

Xinyue's cry, like a knife, cut his heart one by one, and he walked to Xinyue's side in a few steps and hugged her, "Xinyue, I have always had only one request for you, that is, to be by my side, accompany me, and grow old with me." In my life, I have to get what I want, and it starts with you. ”

As he spoke, Rong Ying's arm increased his strength and hugged her tightly, and the new moon in his arms could finally cry happily, "Where do you put me when you say that." Do you have to make me admit that I am still the initiator of Brother Zhao? ”

"Crescent, you're not. You are just too good, like the bright moon in the sky, but there is only one moon, and naturally the most powerful person in the world wants to get it. It's Rong Zhao who isn't strong enough, it's him, he's too weak. Rong Ying has never been so close to the new moon, only in this way will he have a real feeling, that is, he has won, won the world, won the woman in his arms "Xinyue, you don't have to doubt my feelings for you, you or think that I am not in love with you, only use and treat you as a trophy, but I can assure you that I will be as you think for the rest of my life, you will remind me one day, how am I..."

Xinyue buried her head in his arms a little deeper, and she could hear Rong Ying's heartbeat, a little bit, stable and strong, as he himself said, with the persistence that must be obtained, "But I'm not an object." ”

"Naturally you're not, you're a person, you're Xu Xinyue. Do you know? Crescent, I've known you for a long time. As he spoke, Rong Ying stretched out his hand, touched Xinyue's cheek, and slowly said something he had never said to others, "When I was in Lian Wang's Mansion, I ate a dim sum from Jinling, called apricot flour cake.

The palace people said that this was done by Xu Xinyue, the daughter of General Xu, and it was originally used to entertain the sisters in the boudoir, and the recipe flowed out by chance and swept the entire capital. I just don't think the snack is delicious, the sweetness is lighter, and the almond aroma is stronger.

I felt that I must tell you about this discovery, so when I came to Jinling for the first time, the first thing I did was not to enter the palace, but to find you.

I even know that because of the change of your parents, you no longer live in Anxuanhou Mansion, but live in the other residence of Uncle Rongtan's house.

So I hid from Lord Lian and secretly ran out of the other mansion and arrived at the back door of the other mansion.

I could have handed you a sign and asked to see you, but because of this little thing, I thought about it day and night, and felt that it was something that we could only talk about between the two of us.

So I stood at the door and waited, and waited for a long time, and that day you came back from outside with the two sisters from Uncle Rongtan's house.

At a glance, I recognized you from the three of you, and your neck was as white as snow. As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Crescent's neck.

Xinyue had no impression of this matter at all, she straightened up in Rong Ying's arms and raised her eyes to look at Rong Ying.

Rong Ying's eyes were always like being in a fog, overlapping and overlapping, and the fog covered all his emotions. But at this moment, his eyes were like the bright night sky, black and starry.

Such a look made Xinyue at a loss for a while, her eyes wandered, trying to avoid Rong Ying's affectionate gaze.

"I have been with you since that day." Rong Yingcai didn't care about Xinyue's evasion, and talked about his own thoughts.

Rong Ying hugged Xinyue, although Xinyue didn't know what he was thinking, she only felt that he was also a little bitter.

"That little girl, thank you for your kindness" Xinyue was forced to hold by Rong Ying, with her head on his chest.

Rong Ying's palms were hot, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his subordinates. His emotional and willful appearance, Xinyue was the first time to see it, so he was naturally surprised to the extreme, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"It's okay, you don't have to respond to me. Don't worry, I'll always be to you..."After a while, Rong Ying let go of the motionless Xinyue, lowered her head and wanted to look at her, and wanted to confess her whole heart to her, but Xinyue covered her face with her hands in advance, lowered her head and cried softly.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, I'm going back." Crescent didn't want to look at him and turned to leave, as she didn't know how to end the conversation.

"You—" Rong Ying took the hand that was still covering the new moon and stared straight into her eyes.

Crescent Moon was forced to look at him, and the two looked at each other for a long time, he seemed to be deflated, but he did not lose hope, and whispered to Crescent Moon, "Okay, I won't say anything." I just want, I just want a chance, New Moon, give me a chance. ”

Rong Ying's tone carried a hint of humility, he had never put on a stand in front of the new moon, and he had never, never said so.

"The fact that I am your queen is now a fact. You want me, I'm yours too, what else do you want? As you say, do you love you? Xinyue said coldly, "When I go to the palace in the future, I will be a good queen, take care of the harem, assist you in stabilizing the previous dynasty, and I will also become a real couple with you, and I won't even let you feel that we are any different from ordinary emperors and queens." But we're just emperors and queens, just husband and wife, isn't that enough? ”

"Not enough, not enough, I'd rather not be by my side, I want you to have me in your heart."

"Okay, I have you in my heart, so will you let me go?" Xinyue felt that Rong Ying's hands were holding her arms, almost crushing her arms, his eyes were red, today was really not a good day, Xinyue thought to herself, she had seen too many crazy people today.

"Xu Xinyue, do I want to dig out my heart, so that you can understand me... Understand my heart. Rong Ying beat his chest with his hand, and he was about to cry.

But the new moon is still faint, "You give me back my Rong Zhao"

"What are you talking about?" Rong Ying's hand drooped and she looked at the new moon in disbelief.

Xinyue ignored it and continued, "You didn't hand me over to the Liang people twice. ”

Rong Ying frowned, he looked at Xinyue's outstretched hand to her, and listened to her continue, "You don't, you have to marry me." Rather, go back to that time and really come out where you were hiding and talk to me. Perhaps, I will be able to understand your heart. You're holding back, aren't you? ”

The last sentence of the new moon was like a thorn, piercing into Rong Ying's heart, yes, he retreated, the day he first saw the new moon, he had been hiding behind the stone plaque at the back door of King Yu's palace, watching the new moon come from the side, and then enter the other mansion, and finally completely disappeared in front of his eyes. The night fell quickly, and he didn't move a single step until he could barely see anything.

Seeing that the words had already been spoken, Xinyue simply said all the words in his heart, "At that time, I wanted someone to take me out of that mansion, or give me a hope.

I once pinned my hopes on Rong Zhao, but there was a misunderstanding between us, I thought he married me just to get my rare "queen life".

I don't know about love, I really thought he was taking advantage of me.

So, I refused, and I deeply felt that it was the first time I had made a decision for myself.

But this decision dragged me deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Except for Rong Zhao who asked me for my opinion, in my later life, no one asked me what I wanted, and they were all telling me, what do you want.

Later, I thought that it would be good to marry Kong Mao, but Shan'er took him away without asking me.

I have never said a word to Rong Xu alone, but I married him, and no one asked me if I wanted to.

Maybe I was willing at the time, because my aunt told me that I would keep the Yuwang Mansion.

Even you, the one who keeps saying that you love me, refuse to ask me if I would like to marry you. ”

Xinyue has been thinking about the end of that dream, she died so despicably and obscurely, she was unwilling, so after waking up from the dream, she told herself that everything in the future must be lived according to her own wishes.

But even now, as if he is living another life, he is still in the abyss. I still can't say a "no" word. Nobody listens, no one cares.

"Crescent, I, want you to marry me." Rong Ying looked at Xinyue, who was talking nonsense, and said this sentence for sure, he understood Xinyue's words, but he couldn't let go, "Xinyue, just this once." If you marry me, no one will be able to persecute you but me. ”

"Well, except for you." Xinyue looked at Rong Ying, even if she talked about this, Rong Ying still insisted on her opinion, her eyes suddenly darkened, "Only you are left." ”

"If only you understood." Rong Ying felt that the two had negotiated this matter, he knew that Xinyue understood what he meant, and one day, he would figure it out, "I love you." ”

The crescent moon blinked her eyelashes and never said a word again.

Now in the mirror, Xinyue looked at her eyes, the cold air surged, enveloping her body, she raised her head slightly, and looked sideways at Mama Wang, "Mama, let them all come in." ”

"Yes" Mama Wang was standing beside the new moon, she felt that the new moon was different, but what was the difference, it was really for a while, it was difficult to tell.

Cao looked at the open door, she and the grandmother from the palace had been waiting at the door since the morning, but the door was like an iron wall, it had been closed, and now it was open.

But before he could go in, the new moon had already walked slowly to the door, and the Cao family looked at the new moon that had already worn the phoenix crown, Xia veil, and Zhai Yi, and didn't know what to do for a while, but just bowed to the new moon, "Concubine, concubine has seen the queen mother." ”

After hearing this, Xinyue smiled brightly, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, in this mansion, I will always be Xu Xinyue, the sister of my brother and sister-in-law." We are family. ”

Cao Shi looked at the smile on Xinyue's face, and couldn't help but take a step back, Xinyue had never been so kind to herself, thinking that in the past, Xinyue entrusted her with errands, and would always offer expensive jewelry, treating her as an outsider who took money to do things, but now she said that they were a family, this strange feeling made Cao Shi uncomfortable.

However, she thought about it, if Xinyue really regarded them as a family, would they still have a good life in the future?
