Chapter 132: A Marriage Contract

In the back garden of the Five Princes' Mansion, Ji Wanyi and Wen Yunxi were walking on the path with umbrellas, and the two did not let anyone follow.

"Enjoying the scenery in the rain is quite meaningful." Wen Yunxi spoke.

Ji Wanyi asked, "Is the princess in a better mood now?" ”

"Before I saw my brother, I was worried all the time. But after seeing my brother, there were more and more things in my heart. Wen Yunxi told the truth, she trusted Ji Wanyi, and she didn't even call herself a princess.

Ji Wanyi was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"In the past few days, I have accompanied my mother and thought about many things, including how my father will treat the Qi family. I thought about it and thought of the marriage of the eldest brother. Wen Yunxi said, "Right now, it seems that only the eldest brother is the best candidate." ”

Wen Yunxi didn't say it explicitly, Ji Wanyi already understood what she meant.

"The crown prince has been married, and the eldest prince and the second prince should also have concubines." Ji Wanyi said lightly, but there was an extraneous meaning.

Wen Yunxi thought of Wen Zhiyan, and her heart was even more worried: "My brother is also about to get married, if he can marry a woman like Wan Yang like the prince's brother, it is naturally the best, but what if he doesn't like to marry someone?" ”

Wen Yunxi said so many truthful things to Ji Wanyi, and Ji Wanyi was no longer restrained: "Several princes, including the crown prince, who to marry is a matter of holy decree, it is the best to be as natural as the prince and the princess, but how many in this world are just right?" ”

"I understand what you said, maybe I've had too much experience, so I've started to think about things that I never thought about before. Slowly, more and more things went through my head. ”

"The sixth princess doesn't look as innocent as when she first saw you, and even her smile is more sad." Ji Wanyi didn't expect that Wen Yunxi had changed so much after just a few days of not seeing her.

Wen Yunxi suddenly asked, "Wanyi, what about you?" ”

"What?" Ji Wanyi didn't understand what Wen Yunxi meant.

"I'm a royal princess, and I can't get married. But you're different from me, and I want you to be with someone you like. ”

Listening to Wen Yunxi's words, Ji Wanyi smiled bitterly: "The person I like should be long gone." ”

"How so?" Wen Yunxi didn't believe it.

"The princess may not know that I originally had a marriage contract on me, but I lost that person and can't find it." When Ji Wanyi mentioned that person, even her tone changed, Wen Yunxi didn't expect her to mention Ji Wanyi's sadness: "I shouldn't have asked you." ”

"It's not the princess's fault." Ji Wanyi took a deep breath, "Obviously talking about the princess, why did it get to me?" But why would the princess bring up these things? ”

"I don't know who to tell some things, I'm afraid that she will think too much when I tell Wan Yang."

"If the princess believed me, she could tell me."

Ji Wanyi also saw that Wen Yunxi had a lot of things on her mind, but she had no one to talk to.

"When I looked at my mother's current appearance, I began to be afraid, if one day I also marry someone and he has no affection for me, what should I do? I began to worry again, what would I do if my brother married a woman he didn't like and became what his father is now? ”

"Princess, there are many flaws in this world, everyone likes perfection, but how can perfection be so easy to get?"

Wen Yunxi nodded: "What you said is right. ”

"Don't say these words to the outside world, the courtiers today should treat as if they didn't hear anything, and as if they didn't say anything." Ji Wanyi called herself a "courtier" at the moment, reminding Wen Yunxi, and Wen Yunxi replied: "This princess knows everything." ”

The drizzle was pouring and the sky was overcast......

A little later, dinner was prepared in the kitchen, and Lianzhi, Wen Yunxi, Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi stayed here to eat, and Lianzhi specially made people stew bone broth and sent it to Wen Zhiyan.

As for Jing Ci, Lian Zhi did not forget, she specially asked someone to send dinner to Jing Ci.

While eating, the housekeeper suddenly ran in and said, "Sixth princess, crown princess, the eldest prince sent someone over." ”

"What is he sending someone to do at this time?" Wen Yunxi asked.

The housekeeper replied, "The eldest prince has sent a lot of supplements. ”

Wen Zhiyan sent something, and the housekeeper didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"What about others?" Wen Yunxi asked.

The housekeeper replied: "I just asked someone to send something over, but the eldest prince didn't come." ”

If it was the usual Wen Yunxi, he would definitely feel that Wen Zhiyan was perfunctory Wen Zhiyan, and directly asked people to return the things, and the Five Princes' Mansion was not short of such supplements.

Lian Zhi looked at Wen Yunxi, wanting to see how she would answer.

"Then take it, my brother is also the fifth brother of the eldest brother, these supplements are the heart of the eldest brother, and this princess accepted it instead of her brother, and I am not allowed to disturb my brother in this matter. Also, don't forget to return the gift, lest someone say that the Five Princes' Mansion took advantage. ”

"Yes." The butler answered the call and went down to do it.

Everyone continued to eat, and Wen Yunxi asked Lianzhi with some uncertainty: "Wanyang, I didn't do anything wrong in this matter, right?" ”

Lian Zhi shook his head: "You did a good job in this matter. ”

"But why did the eldest brother come here at this time?"

"Someone should have mentioned him."

Lian Zhi probably guessed in his heart that Emperor Chu must be going to hand over this matter to Wen Zhiyan to solve, and with the end of this matter, there will be another happy event in the palace.

The four of them had dinner and went to talk to Wen Zhiqian for a while, and then left the Five Princes' Mansion.

On the way back to the palace, Wen Yunxi leaned against the wall of the carriage, and her face could not hide her tiredness.

"Let's go back in the evening and get some rest." Lianzhi said with concern.

Wen Yunxi nodded: "After I go back to the palace to see my mother, I'll go back to rest." Although my mother didn't come with me to see my brother, she must have been very worried about him. ”

"Okay." Lianzhi stretched out her hand, wanting to smooth Wen Yunxi's hair, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she withdrew it. It is impossible for her to help Wen Yunxi I, and it is impossible for her to be by her side forever.

At night, Ji Wanyi lay on the bed and slept extremely unsteadily.

"Brother Jiang......" Ji Wanyi opened her eyes suddenly, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her hands were tightly clutching the quilt.

Lying flat on the bed, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, Ji Wanyi calmed down for a long time.

The room was dark, Ji Wanyi got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the table, and lit a lamp. Then, Ji Wanyi came to the dresser with the lamp, she took out a small box, and slowly opened the box with both hands, and there was a belt inside.

Ji Wanyi took out the belt and looked at the light carefully, judging from the length and width of the belt, it should be the belt worn by a little boy.

Ji Wanyi's hand slowly rubbed the pattern embroidered on the belt, the belt was half-old and not new, it could be seen that it had been placed for many years.

The belt is embroidered with lotus patterns, which is lifelike!

If the lotus stops here, you will find that the lotus pattern on this belt is exactly the same as the lotus jade pendant she wears.

In the end, Ji Wanyi just sighed and put the belt back in the box and put it away, and then she slowly walked out of the door. Ji Wanyi didn't alarm the maid guarding the door, and walked out with an oil-paper umbrella.

Ji Wanyi was woken up in the middle of the night, and it was difficult to fall asleep, so she thought about going to the back garden for a walk. But when she walked into the back garden, she saw that the light was on in the small pavilion in the garden, and when she looked closely, the person sitting in the pavilion seemed to be Ji Nanyi.

Ji Wanyi walked to the pavilion with an umbrella, and sure enough, it was Ji Nanyi sitting in the pavilion. The night was still sweltering, and Ji Wanyi felt stuffy in single clothes, but Ji Nanyi was still wearing a cloak.

"My brother can't sleep either?" Ji Wanyi asked.

Ji Nanyi spotted Ji Wanyi when she approached: "Do you remember that person again?" ”

That person is Ji Wanyi's heart disease, and for more than ten years, every time Ji Wanyi has lost sleep, it is because of him.

Ji Wanyi sat down on the stone bench next to Ji Nanyi: "Brother, if nothing happened to his family, I should have married him by now." ”

"More than ten years have passed, and if he is still here, you should have tied the knot. However, that night was full of blood, and life and death were separated from each other. Ji Nanyi persuaded, "I know I shouldn't persuade you, but now there are only you and me in the family, my body can't be counted on, you can't never marry for the rest of your life." ”

Ji Wanyi was not angry: "I know what my brother meant, but I can't forget that person in my mind." ”

"I see that you have always been close to Gu Shiqi, and you have never had contact with any man."

"Brother, I don't mean anything else to him, just ......" That feeling, Ji Wanyi can't say it.

Ji Nanyi replied: "I don't have any opinion on Gu Shiqi, as long as you can marry someone you like, no matter who that person is, my brother will support you." ”

Ji Wanyi is the daughter of the Pingbohou Mansion, and to a certain extent, her marriage is also inautonomous. But as soon as Ji Nan told her this tonight, it meant that Ji Wanyi could marry independently, which was his promise to Ji Wanyi as the prince of the Pingbohou Mansion, and it was also his love for his sister as an elder brother.
