Chapter 27: Tying the Knot

A few days later, everything in the princess's mansion had returned to normal, and all the subordinates called her "Eleven Niang".

In order to hide people's eyes, she lived in Nianyun's courtyard, using all Nianyun's jewelry, items and maids, and only brought an extra fennel with her.

Green pothos is one of the few people who have witnessed all the facts, and she was reluctant to change her master, but as we all know, she is the most face-saving maid by Guo Nianyun's side, Princess Shengping personally called her for this, and promised her twice the moon silver, she was sold to the princess's mansion since she was a child, and she had nowhere to go, so she had to reluctantly agree.

Unexpectedly, this new master has an excellent temperament, never harshly criticizes his subordinates, and rewarded her with a lot of things that Eleven Niang used to love, saying that it was a thought, and the pothos really couldn't find anything wrong, but gradually served her with peace of mind.

The people slowly discovered that the new master's style was plain and simple, and she was not very picky about the objects she usually used, and she did not like to use the previous delicate utensils, and always picked some ordinary utensils that had not been touched before.

Fennel and other subordinates often tell her about things when she was a child, consciously or unconsciously, and she herself feels that it is what really happened to her, not just someone else's story.

The name Konoha, and everything about King Shu, seemed to have evaporated from there. Sometimes, even she suspects that it is just a dream, she may never have gone south to Yuezhou, she is the daughter who grew up in the princess's mansion since she was a child, and has set a good family business, and is about to become the wife of the emperor's eldest grandson, the king of Guangling County.

If it weren't for the small courtyard with a seal next to her, she might have been more convinced that she was just dreaming. It's just that every day when she walks through the low courtyard wall and sees the completely withered wisteria in the yard, her heart hurts fiercely.

News soon came from the East Palace, and the wedding date was set for February after the year.

When the morning and dusk were settled, her mother smiled kindly and took her hand affectionately, "Nianyun, are you feeling better?" Come and sit beside me. ”

But things were not as calm as they appeared, and later she pieced together some news from the bits and pieces of whispers of her subordinates, and Princess Shengping ordered someone to arrest the people of Wangshulou to interrogate quietly, and arrested a few people to be sent to the government on charges of stealing and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Those assassins were in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and all kinds of torture awaited them, so they didn't want to come out alive.

She knew that this was her mother's anger and innocent suffering for her beloved daughter. Since then, it seems that my mother has never been to Daming Palace to enjoy flowers and drink.

The gifts sent by the East Palace are also constant. There was even a time when the king of Guangling County specially asked someone to send a food box, saying that it was a newly made hibiscus cake in the palace, and he tasted it and thought it was very good, so he asked the little eunuch to ride a horse and send it over while it was hot, and gave Guo Shiniang a taste.

People say that the eldest girl is married to a good husband.

She knew that he was about to wear a vermilion official robe to enter the palace to face the saint, so she asked fennel to make a pine flower-colored dreadlock as a return gift.

The box of hibiscus cake had been on Konoha's desk for several hours, and she didn't eat a bite as it slowly turned cold and hard.

She knew that all these things were for Nianyun. And she is just a puppet, who is placed in Nianyun's position, stiffly playing a play that she will never be able to play well.

Since she became Nianyun, Guo Yan really treated Nianyun like he did with Nianyun, rarely going to her yard, he often just stood by the waterhole, facing the small courtyard with a seal in a silent daze, standing for most of the day. He became much more silent, as if he had added countless thoughts out of thin air in a few days.

On the day before the wedding, when trying on the wedding dress, Guo Yan came.

Guo Yan pushed open the door, she had just changed her clothes, dark blue big sleeves and deep clothes, vermilion covering her knees, embroidered with intricate multicolored ornaments, with golden mica pieces on her forehead patched into plum blossoms, her eyebrows were like far daisies, her cheeks were dyed with double halos, and her skin was more and more lined with snow, standing in front of him, so bright and beautiful.

Guo Yan was stunned.

She also watched in a daze as he suddenly appeared in front of her, and suddenly it seemed as if she had a thousand words to say, but for a moment it was like a fish in her throat.

In that small courtyard, talking together, laughing together, going out to play and riding horses together, the scenes of the days came to mind, and the past was painful. Her eyes were red, and she choked up and shouted, "Third brother." ”

Guo Yan waved his hand and told the people who were serving her to change clothes to go down, and only the two of them were left in the room. Her eyes were extremely sour, and she only felt that the emotions she had tried to hide with indifference these days could no longer be controlled, so she threw herself into Guo Fei's arms and cried loudly, tears washed the thick fat powder on her face and smeared on Guo Yan's clothes.

Guo Yan didn't persuade her, just hugged her and patted her back gently.

After crying for a long time, she finally stopped, her red makeup was blurred, her flowers withered, and she had a unique beauty.

"Konoha ......"

She looked at him in a daze. She is Nianyun, her father calls her Nianyun, her mother calls her Nianyun, and everyone calls her Nianyun.

"Third brother, have you forgotten, Konoha is dead, I am Nianyun......" Her voice was choked up.

Guo Yan felt a pain in his heart, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Are you willing to marry the king of Guangling County?" ”

She looked at him with a blank look. Needless to say, in the white mourning hall, she had already made a choice.

Guo Nianyun is naturally willing to marry Li Chun.

She didn't answer, Guo Yan stubbornly asked again: "Then are you willing to marry Li Yi?" ”

Not knowing what he was trying to say, she nodded, then shook her head again. In fact, she herself is a little unsure, if there is no such change, she will definitely marry Yi without suspense, but now, after so many things, if she still wants to marry Yi, she must pay a heavy price.

Guo Yan broke her face and forced her to look at him: "You look into my eyes and answer me." ”

She couldn't look him in the eye. Her suffering, tied to the suffering of her family, she can't choose. She almost begged: "Third brother, you let me go......"

Guo Yan didn't let go, but forced her to look at him even more strongly: "I only have one sister left for you, I don't want you to suffer, if you don't want to marry, I'll take you away, I don't believe it, if the two of us die, the Guo family won't be able to live, and Shengping Mansion will no longer exist!" ”

The Twelfth Niang of the Princess's Mansion can die of a violent illness, so the Eleventh Niang can be infected with the same disease as San Lang. It's not difficult to walk, but where to go?

She is not Wei Taozhuo, she doesn't have the courage to fight, and once she fails, she will rely on memories to spend the rest of her life.

Marrying Li Chun may not be good, but if she doesn't love Li Chun, she may not be too sad.

At this point, it's a mistake to go. She even began to envy the real Guo Nianyun, desperate for the love in her heart, and walked like this without worry.

Her composure made Guo Yan frightened, not only did he not feel relieved, but he felt worried and uncomfortable.

"I believe that friendship is genuine. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen him so attached to a woman. He said that from the first time he saw you, he made up his mind to be our family's uncle......"

There was sadness in her eyes, and the coolness under her eyes permeated her and smeared it all the way to Guo Yan's heart.

"Third brother, the so-called love at first sight is just a matter of lust."

Guo Yan wanted to give her a chance to be willful, but she couldn't indulge in her willfulness. From the moment she knelt heavily in the mourning hall, she was no longer Guo Muye, she was the eldest daughter of the Guo family.

Guo Yan suddenly said: "When you were young, the Xie Zhenren who took you away said that you will be blessed with great fortune in the future." ”

Oh, thank you for nature. Today's events, I'm afraid they are all thanks to her, intentionally or unintentionally, right? However, she is still grateful to Aunt Wei, Aunt Wei's love and care for her is by no means hypocritical, and she is no less than Guo Nianyun in the princess's mansion.

She smiled bitterly: "In those ten years, there was no father and mother, but it seemed to be the best time in my life." ”

Guo Yan looked at her with some concern, but he didn't know what else to comfort her. But they are brother and sister, and he can't give her anything.

She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said softly, "I will marry Li Chun - don't worry." Guo Yan understood what she meant by reassurance, she was just promising that she would not act aggressively.

"Youβ€”watch yourself."

She patted the back of his hand and nodded slightly.

She watched his back go away, as if she saw the most prosperous flowers in her life withering one after another, and the empty land was desolate.

In the midsummer month of the ninth year of Zhenyuan, the eldest daughter of the princess of Shengping married the king of Guangling County.

Wedding, for a woman, should be a wonderful time to remember for a lifetime. Wei Taozhuo once said that the biggest regret in her life was that there was no man riding a white horse and marrying her in a sixteen-carrying sedan chair.

Many years later, when Nianyun spent a lot of time alone reminiscing about the past, she found that the memory of how she was surrounded by maids and dressed up, and Li Chun took a group of young offspring back to the East Palace was so faint.

I only remember that I was wearing a heavy crown on my head, and my neck was stiffly covered with layers of hairpin gowns. The outermost cover of the hairpin dress was a blue wide-sleeved deep coat, embroidered with a delicate double phoenix and a peony, which was the wedding dress that the sister had embroidered for herself before her death.

Nian Yun clearly remembered how exquisite the pair of phoenixes that were about to fly and how charming the peonies were, which were rare exquisite embroiderers in the entire Chang'an City.

She didn't know how much thought her sister had put into that garment, but when she wore it, she always felt that her sister's soul was full of it.

She herself is like a precious piece of porcelain, inanimate as she is carried in and out, participating in one solemn ritual after another.

She has a feeling that the protagonist of the wedding that day may be the dress at all, not her, the clothes are attached to her, she is a poor host, a ** longitudinal puppet.

The guests praised the prince and Wang Liangdi for their blessings, raising a smart and handsome son, and marrying a daughter-in-law who was knowledgeable and talented, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Her head was covered with her knees, and the figure of the pupil in front of her was dangling and indistinct, and Li Chun led her into the hall. Fortunately, those hands were thick and warm, and she greedily absorbed that little bit of body temperature, and unconsciously clenched the hand that held her.

When she worshiped heaven and earth and worshiped the high hall twice, she raised her head slightly and quietly looked at her father-in-law and mother-in-law through the piece of penetrating forehead.

Just when her eyes touched the middle-aged lady in gorgeous clothes, she was shocked, if it weren't for the two grandmothers pressing her arms tightly, she would almost immediately pull off the forehead Luo on her head to see it clearly!
