Chapter 272: Husband and Wife Separate
Zhen Zhen, thank her father-in-law for talking to Zhen Zhen for making it clear. ”
The most difficult thing for Ye Zhenzhen to accept was to hear from a close person that Nangong Mu actually knew about it, does it mean that he also acquiesced.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a peasant husband and wife than a princess and concubine, these are all from her mouth and Nangong Hui know, do you want her to beat herself up now.
"The county lord should be calm down before acting, the first queen has been looking forward to this holy decree, I hope the county lord will not be rash."
Gonggong Su is the personal eunuch of the first queen, since the first queen went, he left the palace with Nangong Mu, and now he returns to the palace, it is just a day of recuperation, he understands the first queen's mind best, and he can see the situation and the feelings of the juniors clearly, he said these words, it can be regarded as heartfelt words.
"Thank you, father-in-law, Zhen Zhen will figure it out."
Ye Zhenzhen was in a daze alone holding this seemingly hot holy decree, with a complicated expression on her face, and she couldn't tell which one took the lead.
Father-in-law Su looked at and persuaded Ye Zhenzhen again and again, and then he turned around and left with a sigh step by step, and the girls in the courtyard saw that Ye Zhenzhen was not in a good mood, and they all retreated.
Back in the house, Ye Zhenzhen sat quietly at the round table, looking at the fragrant breakfast that had just been made in the kitchen, but she was in no mood at all.
The bright yellow holy purpose in her hand reminded her that it was real, but it was not what she expected.
"Since the young lady has received the will to marry, why is she still so sad."
Qingju handed a cup of ginseng tea to her, and then asked in a low voice.
"Miss must have her own plans, so don't ask."
Zhilan had just arrived at Ye Zhenzhen's hand on an errand, but she was extremely eye-catching, and she saw her elbow slapping Qingtang, so she reminded in a whisper.
"Qingju, if you want to be with a white head with one person, but in the end you can only be her concubine, are you willing?"
Ye Zhenzhen moved her gaze slightly, glanced at Qingju lightly, and then asked thoughtfully.
"The slave doesn't know, if you really like it, even if it's a concubine, you won't despise yourself, but if it's ......"
Qingju held the tray, tilted her head and thought about it carefully, she is only eighteen now, and she has not yet been involved in marriage, so she naturally does not understand the desolation in Ye Zhenzhen's heart.
If she had been born here since she was a child, maybe she would have succumbed to such a result, but she is a modern person, monogamous, and the status and respect of women are engraved in her bones, which makes her swallow this breath.
"County lord, the prince has already risen, and he can't find you everywhere, so the slave has just come to report."
Qingju was speechless by Ye Zhenzhen's expression, and was thinking about how to comfort her, but who knew that the subordinates in the mansion hurriedly ran in to report.
"Got it."
Ye Zhenzhen's mind was dazed, but she couldn't swallow this breath, so she explained to the girl, and immediately pinched the hot holy decree to find Nangong Mu.
I saw that Nangong Mu had just finished washing, and was sitting on the round table staring at a recent account book of Ye Zhenzhen, with a handsome look between her eyebrows and eyes, and she couldn't see any look.
"That's what you're giving me?"
Ye Zhenzhen stepped forward in three or two steps, but before the person arrived, the momentum could not be suppressed, and she saw that after she threw the holy decree on the table, she pointed at the holy decree and asked sharply.
Nangong Mu, who had a relaxed face just now, immediately frowned the moment he saw the holy decree, and he really couldn't hide it.
"Zhenzhen, listen to my explanation, my father ...... yesterday"
"Shut up, that's what you promised, right?"
Nangong Mu hurriedly got up, and then explained a little helplessly.
But Ye Zhenzhen couldn't suppress her anger, only to see her roar, so she asked as calmly as possible.
"Yes."
Nangong Mu closed his mouth in a sneer, replied timidly, and then lowered his head, looking very helpless.
"So, do you think your wife can do that? Nangong Mu, I thought you would understand my thoughts. ”
The hope in Ye Zhenzhen's eyes was extinguished in an instant, Nangong Mu saw it in his eyes, as if he was in pain, he was in a panic yesterday, he expected that she couldn't accept it, and now when he really faced it, he was a little speechless.
"If you really agreed, for what?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded a little madly, and said quite self-deprecatingly, Nangong Mu stood in front of her, without any movement, and did not have any emotions other than silence and shame.
"My father is a candidate for the crown prince, but now that the turmoil has not subsided, you and I are in prison, so we can only go here for the time being, and make a plan to delay the army."
Nangong Mu lowered her eyes and told her about her difficulties quite sincerely.
I don't ask her to make much sacrifice, but I ask her to understand her intentions.
"It's a delaying tactic, so you also think that I am a bargaining chip in your battle for the crown prince, or a bargaining chip that is not worthy of the position of the concubine, right?"
Ye Zhenzhen smiled bitterly, Nangong Musheng is the prince, the throne is vacant, it is reasonable for him to fight, but when he had to give in to the situation, Ye Zhenzhen regretted it.
Although she has been working diligently, she also maintains a hot heart for love, and if she wants to give up, it will naturally be heartbroken.
"That's not the case, Zhen Zhen, you and I have known each other for a long time, if I didn't have such an identity and status, I would also like to grow old with you, but now I have to take care of my father, and even more so I have to take care of my mother who is already wavering behind my back."
"I'm not asking for your forgiveness, and this king will never allow other women to do anything to you, from now on, there is only one side concubine in Mu Wangfu, if there are others, I will be destroyed by Nangong Mutian."
Seeing a lot of loneliness in Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, Nangong Mu suddenly shook his head, he was very afraid, afraid that he would lose the person he cared about the most, and he was afraid that his actions would disappoint more people.
So he grabbed Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders and explained in an extremely sincere tone, only to see that his eyebrows were twisted together, which was no different from Ye Zhenzhen's regret.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but what happened? ”
The voices of Ye Zhenzhen and Nangong Mu gradually spread far away, and the Bai family listened to the two of them chatting endlessly in the house, for fear that something would happen, so they hurriedly ran out to investigate.
With concern and worry in her eyes, Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears that had just slipped out of her eyes, and pulled out a far-fetched smile.
"For the sake of the world, for the consideration of the Mu Palace, for the consideration of the royal family, I already know what you have in your heart, and this holy decree will be left to you."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to cry in front of the Bai family, for fear that her family would think that she had been wronged, so she put away all her emotions and said quite calmly.
Leaving like ashes, Nangong Mu was stunned in place, what he was most afraid of was still coming, Ye Zhenzhen would definitely not forgive him easily.
After Ye Zhenzhen broke out, the Bai clan still didn't know why, so she walked in, looked at Nangong Mu's face, and then fell on the holy decree on the table.
Ignoring Nangong Mu's expression, Bai Shi directly picked up the holy decree to check, but unfortunately she didn't know a few words, and she didn't understand what was written, so she could only weakly put it back.
"Lord, what does this mean? You and Vera ......"
Bai Shi looked at Nangong Mu's face was not good, but she still asked, she had always been worried about her competitive daughter, but now she had to ask.
"The emperor decreed that the marriage was granted, and Xu Zhenzhen and I were the side concubines."
Nangong Mu felt ashamed at the moment, he had already disappointed the Bai family by leaving rashly, and now that such a thing had happened, how could he face the Bai family's inquiry.
"Side concubine? That's a concubine? ”
"Nominally, yes."
There was a stunned look on Bai's face, but Nangong Mu had no intention of explaining, so he had to nod his head and say yes.
There was a trace of disappointment in Bai's eyes, but she didn't attack immediately, she didn't understand these things not long after she came to Beijing, and she didn't want to say anything about Nangong Mu rashly.
Bai Shi left, a little excited, only to see her looking for the direction that Ye Zhenzhen left, Nangong Mu was left alone in the house, and the quiet air around him seemed to be pumping his blood, making him feel heartbroken and unable to quibble.
"Lord Wang, the emperor asked you to deal with the assassination, and it can't be delayed."
I don't know how long Nangong Mu was stunned alone, Han Wei came in from the outside, and carefully reminded him, his eyes were full of evasion.
Nangong Mu didn't say a word, and maintained the action just now for three or five seconds, and then got up weakly and left, and the room that still had residual warmth just now seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
Ye Zhenzhen stayed in the main house, quite uneasy, seeing Han Wei entering in a panic, and then saw Nangong Mu leaving quickly, his heart was numb.
After Nangong Mu left, Ye Zhenzhen's heart was also empty, although she blamed him, she was also a little flustered, and in the end, she had to lock herself in the house.
The door was closed, she didn't open the door no matter how Qingju knocked, and the food sent was left untouched.
The house soon knew what was going on, Yang Yan and the Bai family both came to persuade her, Ye Zhenzhen just shrunk in the house without saying a word, and no one knew what was going on with her at the moment.
"What can I do about this, the county lord hasn't eaten in the morning."
Qingju held the lunch, looked at the closed door, and almost cried, everyone on the side was happy on the first day of the New Year, but everyone in Yefu was uneasy.
"Go and ask the county lord of Shangguan to persuade her, you can't let her stay inside alone."
Bai Shi frowned tightly and stared at the door for a long time, and then he spoke helplessly.
"Slave and maid, please go and please."
Qingju seemed to be woken up, and quickly nodded in agreement, and then couldn't wait to get ready to leave the house.
"Zhilan, you stay at the door, if Zhen Zhen needs something, or what she says, you remember to respond, listen to the movement, don't let anything happen."
Bai Shi looked at Qingju's distant back, and then looked at Zhilan, who was also waiting on the side and was extremely quiet, and then ordered.
