Chapter Eighty-Seven: "Don't Forget"
Feng Shu and I waited quietly outside the door, and suddenly, with a "bang", the tea bowl fell on the door and shattered.
Feng Shu wanted to push the door open, but stopped again, and before I could understand what was happening, there was a quarrel in the hall.
"Father! The son also asked his father to take back the royal decree! Erchen can't marry Princess Yong'an! ”
The king slapped the table and asked, "Why can't you marry?" Could it be that I gave you Princess Yong'an, and I wronged you? ”
"That's not what Erchen meant! Yuxuan is not yet 100 days old, and it is afraid that it is inappropriate for Erchen to marry Princess Yongan at this time. Moreover, Qin'er was generous, gentle and virtuous, and gave birth to an heir for her son, who had made an oath not to accept concubines in the future......"
"Ridiculous!" King Xia interrupted him and scolded, "How much does the widow expect from you? In the future, when you sit in this position, where is there any reason not to accept a concubine! ”
"The son also asked his father to take back the royal decree! Erchen is unwilling to marry Princess Yong'an! ”
Xia Ning knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed a few times on the ground, and said: "Since marrying Qin'er, our husband and wife have been in love as before. In the palace of the sons, there is no room for others. ”
"You don't have to say any more! This matter has been decided, a month later, after a hundred days of Yuxuan, you will marry Princess Yong'an! ”
After a long while, there was no sound in the palace, and King Xia said again: "You get up, the widow will not take back the king's order!" The widow knows that you have a deep relationship with the princess, but this princess Yong'an maintains the friendship between our two countries, Ning'er, you have to take care of the overall situation. Your aunt has been instructed to take care of your marriage. Your aunt said that it will be done. Princess Yongan is a princess from Huaqiao Country, and she is good to you when she marries you! ”
The sky seemed to be dark.
I remember Xia Ning said before that every year in the future, he would take me to see the cherry blossoms.
After all, I didn't go with him, and it was to be expected that he didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.
He must have loved his wife very much.
It is impossible to get the king to take back the royal order, and I don't have to ask King Xia anymore.
I tore off the talisman from my forehead and walked away.
Behind me, Feng Shu asked, "Don't you want to see the king?" Why is it gone again? ”
I didn't say a word and left silently.
Back in the side hall, Zhiqing was instructing the servants to do the cleaning, and when she saw me looking so lost, she asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" Unhappy? ”
I lay on the table and said, "Zhiqing, I want to drink." ”
"Drinking? Girl, is this happy? Or is it sad? ”
I looked out of the door and didn't speak, Zhiqing saw this and said, "The girl wants to drink, isn't it simple?" When it was evening, we ......"
Zhiqing said with her eyebrows fluttering, trying to make me laugh, but I couldn't laugh at all, and there was always a lump in my heart.
At night, the lights went out and there was silence. Zhiqing and I took advantage of the dim moonlight to come to the Prayer Spirit Palace.
There are talismans everywhere in the Prayer Palace, and even the top of the palace wall is full of them. After being rectified here, it is no longer so desolate, and it looks like a temple without fireworks.
I don't know what Concubine Ling suffered before her death, so they are so afraid that her soul will come to the door. They want to seal their hearts, can they seal them?
"Girl, it's not good."
"What's wrong?"
"The door was locked, relocked, and we couldn't get out."
"It's okay, I'm prepared!"
I took a silver pin out of my sleeve and put it in the keyhole.
The lock is open.
Zhiqing said happily: "The girl is so smart! I didn't expect the girl to have this ability! ”
"Are you praising me? Or is it hurting me? ”
Zhiqing smirked, revealing two small tiger teeth, glowing with white moonlight.
"Let's go, don't bother." I urged.
Close the palace door, walk through the grass, throw aside the stone piles, and climb through the hole. A series of movements has long been mastered.
Out of the palace, even the air smelled good. There is only one wall separating them, but these are two worlds.
We walked towards a bright, lively place.
"Zhiqing, did you bring any money?"
Zhiqing patted her purse, "Don't worry, Childe, it's already ready." ”
"I haven't been there for so long, I don't know if Sister Wu Qi still remembers me."
"Wouldn't it be better not to remember? We also got a free meal for a drink. ”
As we spoke, we both burst out laughing.
Sister Wu Qi's tavern is located in the middle of the main street, not far from the entrance of the vegetable market, and there is a theater opposite the tavern. There are a lot of people here every night, and it's very lively. The tavern also has a nice name, "Don't forget", and I love this place.
"Ouch! Whose son is this? Let me think? Isn't it...... Last time, I gave my wine money on credit, and Mr. An has been disappearing? As soon as Sister Wu Qi saw me, she raised her voice and said.
She was dressed in purple, with a large jade plate hanging around her waist, her hair coiled into a flower, and a strand of hair hanging down on her left shoulder, and the mole between her eyebrows and eyes jumped with the expression on her face.
If it weren't for the noise around, her voice would have been heard throughout the street. She's trying to tease me!
I hurriedly went up and covered her mouth and said, "Be quiet, didn't I come?" ”
She pushed me away, "Phew! Men and women don't kiss, how can they still start to do it? Then, he deliberately glared at me.
He said, "Be careful that I let the master come out and clean you up!" The index finger tapped lightly on my forehead again.
"Oops! Sister Wu Qi, don't make fun of me, I'm not here! With the wine money, we came together! I took her hand and said with an aggrieved expression.
"What do you say...... It's like I, Wu Qi, are worried about your little wine money. ”
Wu Qi wanted to say something, but I pulled him to sit down.
"Hmm...... Today, I'm going to drink fruit wine. Zhiqing, what kind of wine do you drink? ”
Zhiqing said: "Whatever the son drinks, the little one drinks." ”
Wu Qi said: "Then may I ask Childe, what fruit wine do you want to drink?" ”
"What do you have here?"
Wu Qi raised his neck and said proudly: "We have a lot of fruit wine here!" There are orange stuffed, peaches stuffed, apple stuffed, lychee stuffed...... Oh yes! We recently made a new fruit wine made from grapes, would you like to try it? ”
Wu Qi's eyes winked at me, and I smiled, "Okay, it's just grapes!" ”
"Brother Xun, take out our newly brewed grape and fruit wine, and let Gongzi An try it~"
Brother Xun is the husband of Sister Wu Qi, and Sister Wu Qi has always called him Brother Xun.
After a while, Brother Xun brought a jar of wine and put it on our table.
"Gongzi An, please!"
I sniffed it...... It smells so good!
Just as I was about to pour out the wine, Sister Wu Qi grabbed my hand.
"Don't underestimate this grape and fruit wine, a jar can get drunk with a cow!"
"I see, we can't drink much."
Wu Qi stood up and said, "You guys drink, I'll go and call me first, if there's anything, call me." ”
"Okay~"
