Chapter 123: Zhao Yingxi and Si Qin
The food is cold.
Jiang Linglong came back to her senses from her embarrassment.
Seeing Zhao Yingxi holding his hand, his eyes were full of warmth.
It was after listening to this speech that Luo Yiyi's appearance when she was young finally plumped up in her heart.
When I was a child, I often used Luo Yiyi to carve by the window, and only when I held those small earth jade dolls in my hands, my eyes burned and the corners of my mouth smiled.
She rarely spoke to herself, and she never struggled with her young literacy and self-taught situation.
Jiang Linglong originally thought that because of her birth, Luo Yiyi should be disgusted with herself in her heart. didn't think about it, the eldest lady came to look for trouble that day, but she didn't hesitate to protect herself and let someone take her jade box......
That's right, too.
And a four or five-year-old doll, what can you say.
Luo Yi died depressed, and only told her such a thing when she was dying-
[I'm not Linlang. 】
[My name is Loy. 】
It's a pity that the weight of this sentence in her mother's heart, she really understands it today.
Orange Moon brought the rewarmed medicinal food to the table one by one, but heard Jiang Linglong sigh very lightly.
"Shaohua," it was Zhao Yingxi, who had already broken away from the old things, and persuaded Jiang Linglong, "Eat while it's hot." ”
Jiang Linglong didn't say anything, smiled back, and drank the porridge unhurriedly.
Just after two spoonfuls were put down, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, put down the bowl again, and asked softly, "In the story of the mother...... Where's the mother? It didn't seem to be questioning, and there was no emotion, it sounded simple and curious, "If my father really cares about my mother so much......" When the words came to her mouth, she was embarrassed to ask again.
"You want to ask, how could your father marry me?" Zhao Yingxi happily answered, not minding.
Seeing that the subject was not annoyed, Jiang Linglong naturally nodded a little inch-inch.
"Me." Zhao Yingxi saw her ask, but she was not ashamed, but her cheeks were slightly red, and she put down the dishes and chopsticks like a girl who was guessed to be thinking, supported her cheeks with one hand, and recalled sweetly, "Actually, when I first met in Bian Quqiao, I already had a heart for your father......
It's just that at that time, your father already had your mother and concubine in his heart, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else.
I deliberately kept my distance from them, for fear that my thoughts would be discovered, and for fear that I would be uncomfortable. I never thought that your mother was close to me because of schoolwork.
That's what pulled me into their circle.
Your mother and concubine get along like a spring breeze. While I like the King of Yuange, I also like your mother. In other words, I was deeply attracted by her temperament. So I kept my feelings in my hands and kept secretly having a crush. ”
When Zhao Yingxi said this, he smiled quite shyly, bent his eyebrows, and there was light in his eyes, which was like two people who were talking about the battle for the throne of Gu Qiang.
"Your father and king are looking for your mother, but you can't.
He retired from all the maids in the palace, and lived in Jinsui with the three princes, as well as a few intimate subordinates and guards. Previously, Dingbei had merit, and the first king gave him the title of Yuyang. But he didn't go once. and stayed in the palace for the rest of his life. In the huge market, he lives in a simple place.
I often visit the children in the house. but not often with thy father, the king.
It was all well hidden.
Until the Third Highness brought the news, the traces of the Hantan secret guard were found on the outskirts of the city.
Knowing this, I naturally wanted to go with everyone and ask His Royal Highness about the whereabouts of your mother's concubine.
But this time, His Royal Highness is waiting for us with the determination to die together and break the net.
I was ambushed on the road with your father.
At that time, the arrows around him were like broken bamboos, and your father was unstoppable, and the first king's reinforcements were delayed. I watched him gradually lose his strength, revealing a flaw behind him-
By the time I reacted, the man had already blocked it, and the sharp pain in my back and the surprise when my father looked back at it at the same time...... I know that this time, I can't hide it.
The men and horses of the first king still arrived.
His Royal Highness was captured, but he flatly denied everything he had done, and for fear of retaliation and torture, he committed suicide in prison the next day. After that, the clues were almost all broken. In fact, the Second Highness's methods are vicious, he wants to take a princess to accompany the burial, how can others find the body? He wants people to have no bones left, and he wants to burn the hearts of the two highnesses. The prince and the former king also knew in their hearts that your mother and concubine were afraid that she would not be alive for a long time, but she was reluctant to admit it.
And me.
I am recuperating in my own palace. Your father ordered all kinds of medicinal herbs to be brought, but he himself did not come to see them once.
It was like an invisible wall separating me from him.
Later, I recovered from my injuries and stopped visiting the palace. Avoid your father as much as possible. There is a banquet in the palace, or any sacrificial ceremony, and I am sick in the house.
It's just that occasionally on the days of rest, go to the gate of the palace and wait, and take your three brothers out for a hike together.
For two years, I lived in the same city with your father, but we didn't see each other, and we didn't say a word.
Later, the first king took a concubine.
My father wanted to send me to the palace with all his intentions.
Of course I don't want to. He quarreled with his father and went out of the house alone. I don't know what's going on, so I walked and walked to the mountain where we hunted at night many years ago.
There, I met a man who was sitting under a tree.
When he saw that it was me, his eyes that had just lit up dimmed for a moment.
He said, "It's you." 】
That's what he said to me when we first met two years later.
I still remember his disappointment that he didn't have time to hide.
To be honest, I'm a little sad. But I don't feel rude.
Because I'm the same. I thought the figure under the tree would be someone else.
So I replied to him too, [It's you. 】
Strangely, this greeting seemed to make the wall between us disappear imperceptibly.
I think I should be able to sit next to him. And he gave up a place for me.
But after all, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I can't say anything to say hello for a while.
I heard him ask me if I wanted to be the princess of the Yuange.
I was stunned. Or rather, stunned. I don't know if he's literal, or if he's wondering if I'm having other interests or selfish motives.
Then he smiled and explained whether he wanted to enter his palace if he didn't want to enter the palace. ”
When Zhao Yingxi said this, the corners of his eyes unabashedly revealed a trace of tender love. Orange Moon wanted to hand the medicine to the master, but she couldn't bear to interrupt for a while, and her hand holding the medicine was raised in the air, listening attentively.
"He's very honest. He said that because the first king needed the support of King Pingnan in the court, at the same time, the first king was unwilling to include me in the harem. First, because he knows that I have others in my heart, and secondly, because he doesn't want to increase the power of King Pingnan. And because I gave my life to save him. He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to repay it, because it seemed that I valued his life more and would not want him to exchange his life for another.
He said he hadn't figured it out until just now. He was willing to ask the king for a decree of marriage.
Because I was in this part of the mountain.
Prove that I have someone in my heart who is as close to him as he is.
After listening, I nodded.
After receiving the holy decree, we went back to Yuyang to get married and started our lives there.
Your father treated me very well, and he didn't take any other side rooms, and we have walked together to this day. ”
Even after Zhao Yingxi finished the last word, her last note was full of invisible tenderness, and her stretched eyebrows and eyes shone in the flickering candle flame.
"Oh, look at it, I'm talking so much at once," I was still nostalgic for the last second, and the next second I saw the medicine bowl in Orange Yue's hand, and immediately returned to its normal color, and took it for Jiang Linglong, "Don't delay the medicine." ”
