Chapter 52: Relief
She took Guerjia's hand, "You go and tell the prince that if he still treats me as a concubine and Ping'an as a sister, he will withdraw this bullshit marriage contract." ”
The Guerjia clan hurriedly comforted and comforted: "Don't worry, the princess, the prince will naturally not treat his own sister badly." ”
The two women in the house only thought that their father and son were now in power, but they didn't know that they were in their position, but they also had a lot of last resorts.
"Where is this said that you can withdraw!" Zaifeng rarely went back to the palace early, and when he heard the words of his own Fujin, he only felt a headache and rubbed his temples, "Not to mention that this is the decree of the Empress Dowager, even the current situation in Mongolia, this decree cannot be withdrawn." ”
Guerjia walked over and took his hand and pressed his head on his behalf, puzzled, "Why is this?" ”
Zaifeng closed his eyes and leaned back to let her move, and sighed, "Now the northern part of the Qing Dynasty relies on the brave and warlike Mongolia to block foreign enemies, if at this time, the marriage contract is canceled, wouldn't it chill their hearts, the Qing Dynasty is now tired of dealing with this external trouble, if the alliance is lost, this current situation, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to suffer from the enemy." ”
Guerjia was shocked, "It's just a marriage contract, how can it provoke the relationship between Manchu and Mongolia." ”
"I won't turn my face on the spot, but once my heart is scattered, it will be difficult to retract it."
The Guerjia clan didn't understand the government, but they also understood what he meant, and their hands moved, "Then, do you have to sacrifice Ning Yi's life?" ”
In the past year, Ning Yi has helped her share a lot of things, and she is really satisfied with this sister-in-law, and her concern for Ning Yi now is naturally not fake.
"Then, will the son of the world come back?"
Zaifeng closed his eyes and said softly: "He is very competitive, now he has united several major tribes in Mongolia to defend against foreign enemies, even if he does not die on the battlefield, when those foreigners no longer pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty, Qi will probably stay in Mongolia." His future brother-in-law had made achievements, but there was no trace of joy in his tone.
Guerjia opened his lips slightly, stunned, "Then isn't that the same as... It means that Ning Yi will be bound by this marriage contract that can never be realized for a lifetime.
Zaifeng opened her eyes, motioned her to stop, handed her the cloth towel prepared by the maid on the side, and her words were full of astringency, "If there is another way, I will do it even if I don't want this position." ”
But no.
Today's Qing Dynasty, with internal strife and external disasters, can no longer lose its only ally.
After a few days, Zaifeng rarely rested and stayed in the house, and he specially called Ning Yi for dinner, and went to the study together after dinner.
"This is the newly arrived Ming Qian Longjing, you can taste it." He poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Ning Yi.
Ning Yi picked it up, skimmed the tea foam, smelled it gently, and smiled lightly, "It's good tea, the taste is sweet and sweet, the entrance is soft and fragrant, and it seems that you can still feel the lingering drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River." ”
Zaifeng sat on the other side, watching her lower eyes and tasting tea, the heat smoked a trace of redness on her face that was paler than others, and said that the eldest brother is like a father, Ning Yi was born without Amma, which he raised in the palm of his hand as a daughter since he was a child, and now she is also a big girl, beautiful, smart and transparent, which point is worse than others, but fate makes people, if you want to talk about pain, he is even more unbearable than Liu Jiashi.
"Peace, you." Zaifeng's expression was complicated, he just got up, but he still changed his words, "How are you doing lately?" ”
"The health is good, the fifth brother has something to say, it's better to say it directly."
He knew that he couldn't hide it, lowered his eyes, and took a sip of tea, "Did the concubine tell you anything recently?" ”
Ning Yi lowered her head and smiled, "I want to talk about the marriage between the prince and me, the fifth sister-in-law and the mother concubine have been knocking on the side recently, I pretended to be stupid and didn't answer, I didn't expect to alarm you." ”
Zaifeng looked at her expression, and there was no trace of depression and sorrow between her eyebrows when she talked about it, knowing that she really didn't care about her life's events, and she didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be helpless, "What do you think?" ”
"Actually, the result is the same no matter how I think about it, isn't it?" Ning Yi blinked, raised his eyes to look at Zaifeng, and said seriously: "Now it is the best choice to keep the marriage contract, fifth brother, please trouble me to excuse me in front of my mother, now this era is different, and there are only a few people who marry at the age of fourteen like the eldest sister, let's wait for two or three years." ”
"Are you really going to wait for him?" Zaifeng raised his eyebrows, although he planned to persuade her before, but when he heard her say this, he felt sorry for her again, "Do you really like that stinky boy?" ”
Ning Yi thought for a while, "I can't say it, I just don't want my life to move from one backyard to another too early, and lose other possibilities." ”
The time was too short, and when she decided to accept and understand Yu Li, it was too late, and now she can only say that she is a friend.
The vicissitudes of her words made Zaifeng feel distressed, originally he planned to explain the relationship of interests to her, but she already saw it better than anyone else, "If you don't want to be rejected here, you can go around, maybe like Yunliu, you can go abroad to study." ”
Ning Yi smiled, "Wait a little longer, let's talk about it in two years, now that the court has not settled down, there are many things in the back house, the fifth sister-in-law has to take care of Pu Jie, I can still share some of it, I also plan to take advantage of these days to take advantage of the body to recuperate, the outside is not as good as the home, and I can't get sick at every turn." ”
Zaifeng thinks about it, it makes sense, the outside is not as good as the home, and Ning Yi's body is also something he is worried about, "In this case, you can take care of it, you can have a plan and arrangement, if the house is too busy, I will let the eldest sister help, don't tire yourself, and when you settle down, I will say for you in front of the concubine, it's okay to go out and relax." ”
Ning Yi smiled brightly, "Thank you, Fifth Brother." ”
Scattered, now you can't go too far, you can only walk around this Beijing city, after Yun Liu is gone, the only one who can talk to Ning Yi is Mu Jin.
"Why did you bring him too?" Ning Yi looked at the child in Mu Jin's arms, grinning at her in vain, revealing two millet teeth that had just emerged, and her heart softened when she saw it.
Mu Jin said softly: "Don't worry, none of the subordinates waiting in the back will bring any of them, and they will be fine." ”。
"That's good." Ning Yi nodded when she heard this, teased the child for a while, and looked up at Mu Jin, she got married when she turned fifteen last year, and the children were born the next year, but she always felt a little trance when she looked at her baby face that had not faded from her childishness.
