Chapter XVII. Commitments
"General, everything is fate." He Mian'er sighed lightly and said, "Sooner or later, you are going to ask to marry another wife, I am a concubine, and it is disrespectful to give birth to my eldest son in front of my wife." This is something that no wife can tolerate. At that time, whether it is me or the child, it will become a thorn in the side of others. β
She lowered her eyes and no longer looked at Xu Yunqing, only superficially seemed to be telling herself about her life experience. "After that, there were endless battles, and I was a little tired of just fantasizing. If it is less troublesome, it will also make everyone happy. β
"Who said I would ask for another wife in the future?" Xu Yunqing suddenly said coldly.
He Mian'er raised her head suddenly, her eyes revealed a little joy, and in a blink of an eye, she felt that she was too immature, it seemed that not only her, but even Xu Yunqing was very naΓ―ve.
Seeing He Mian'er slowly lower her head, Xu Yunqing walked over, held her hand and said, "No, there will be no one else in the future." β
It would be impossible for He Mian'er not to be moved, but she quickly remembered the oath she had made many years ago. He used to say the same, but unfortunately, he forgot everything he had promised.
"General, you may not be able to do your own marriage. If you can call the shots, how did I marry into this concubine? He Mian'er ruthlessly debunked this fact. The marriage of courtiers is often decided by the emperor.
She calculated this correctly, so she did everything possible to ask Liu Tianshi in the palace to say a few kind words in front of the emperor. Today, the saint is very old, and he is obsessed with immortality and alchemy, and he highly respects warlocks.
This Liu Tianshi and her father are fellow villagers, and they have received the kindness of their family in the past, so when she found the other party, Liu Tianshi only divined a hexagram, and then explained the hexagram: "This hexagram is like a dangerous and abnormal, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the road ahead is boundless." β
But seeing that He Mian'er was full of expectations, she didn't want to pour cold water on her, probably because she was used to seeing the impermanence of the world and knew that the will of heaven was difficult to disobey, so she agreed to He Mian'er's request.
When he was about to go out, he only heard Liu Tianshi sigh and said, "Little girl, there is a day when you regret it." He Mian'er had just succeeded at that time, and she was full of joy, so she naturally didn't take this advice to heart.
Now that I think about it, Liu Tianshi is really a prophecy.
"Don't worry, this trip I must be to exterminate the king of Chen, I have made a great contribution, I don't ask for anything, I just ask the saint to let you change from a concubine to a wife, and we will live with Hemeimei together." Xu Yunqing swore and put his arm around He Mian'er's shoulder, and comforted him softly, "You just believe me once." β
He Mian'er didn't know why, but she also had some expectations in her heart. Yes, if Xu Yunqing can take this step into consideration, it will also show his intentions.
"What if the emperor doesn't allow it?" He Mian'er was still a little uneasy in her heart, after all, there has never been such a precedent for changing from a concubine to a wife.
Xiao Guo has always hated things like spoiling concubines and killing wives, so the official government has never approved such things.
"If the saint doesn't agree, I will resign from this official position and return to the countryside with you, and the man will farm and weave, so I am not happy." Destroying King Chen, isn't it just the rise of peace in the four seas, Xu Yunqing is also worried that the emperor will die of cunning rabbits, lackeys will cook, and his own merits will be high, so he also has a way out.
He Mian'er was attracted by the scene he depicted, yes, the man ploughs and the woman weaves, the children are on their knees, and the family is farming and working, although they are tired, they are comfortable.
"I can also take you to Mobei to see the starry sky." Xu Yunqing hugged He Mian'er, and a little bit of words couldn't help but make He Mian'er's heart a little shaken.
However, the incident of her childhood was like a thorn in her heart. She can't be allowed to think otherwise.
Xu Yunqing has always been a person of few words, and today he said so many words for the first time, all to make He Mian'er feel relieved.
Unexpectedly, she was still frowning, depressed, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you still have anything to worry about?" β
He Mian'er looked at his deep eyes full of sincerity, and for a while, a voice in her heart urged her, say your concerns, and ask him for an explanation.
Xu Yunqing saw that she looked like she wanted to say goodbye, so she kissed her forehead and encouraged: "Since you and I have become husband and wife, we are husband and wife, what can I not say?" β
He Mian'er also knew that Xu Yunqing's words had already reached this point, if she insisted on not saying anything, it would hurt the relationship between husband and wife.
Young couples are honest and honest, and this is where her heart has been knotted for many years, so it is better to ask for pleasure in front of this lord today.
He Mian'er made it clear what happened when she was eight years old, that is, the conversation between the two, she repeated it word for word.
"Who knows, I've been waiting for eight years, is it possible for you to completely forget the promise of the past?" He Mian'er asked with some grievances.
Although she is innocent by nature, she was raised by her family with a carefree temperament. But after all, the girl is pregnant with spring, and she is used to loving the drama of these talented and beautiful women, and she will think of this from time to time, just the small river where the two met for the first time, she doesn't know how many times she has stepped on it.
If it weren't for Xu Yunqing's resurrection from the dead this time, I am afraid that she would not have had a chance to ask him until she died, "Xu Lang, do you still remember the promises made in the past?" β
She looked at Xu Yunqing expectantly, and Xu Yunqing also looked at her, both of them seemed to want to see something from each other's faces.
"It seems, vaguely remember...... There were, well, there was this, but after all, it wasn't seen again...... The girl. Xu Yunqing stammered and replied.
He Mian'er couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart, but Xu Yunqing's answer was also expected by her. If he hadn't forgotten, how could he have liked someone else?
"I was and now I have changed, you can't recognize it, and it's natural." He Mian'er seemed to be comforting Xu Yunqing, and she seemed to be comforting herself.
"Don't worry, it won't be in the future." Xu Yunqing's words are more like giving He Mian'er a shot in the arm.
Probably told the past and got a promise, He Mian'er finally felt that she had a thought, but she also actively helped Xu Yunqing pack her luggage.
Probably seeing that Xu Yunqing was worried, she took the initiative to take out the medicine bag and said, "Don't worry, since I listened to your words, I will naturally not drink this medicine again." β
immediately called Ah Xiang, who was guarding the door, and told her to destroy it.
Tomorrow, Xu Yunqing is going to go on an expedition, and the two will inevitably not see each other for many days, and the young couple will be warm.
He Mian'er was in a daze, and seemed to hear a soft sigh from the person next to the pillow.
"But worried about tomorrow's expedition?" She asked, gently hugging the person in her arms.
"It's okay, go to sleep, I'll have to get up early tomorrow." Xu Yunqing denied it, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
