179. Since you're here, why don't you get off the carriage
"I want to ask Lord Qin to take a son's hatred."
I sat down across from her, touched a brand new cup and poured myself tea, and even though I already had a vague answer in my mind, I asked, "Which son?" ”
Her fingers were clear, and then she clenched the slender eyelashes hidden in the wide sleeves: "My lord should have guessed, it was the one who came to Jinguo with me, my husband, Wan Qishu." ”
Yes, over the years, I have hated countless people for others, and I have seen all the joys and sorrows of the world, and most of the people who are most likely to become enemies, and can leave scars in my heart for thousands of days and nights but can't let go, are mostly people around me, so Wan Qishu is indeed my first guess.
"Since the princess has come to me, she should have inquired about my rules a long time ago."
"I've heard a little bit about the rules of adults. For example, before you plant hatred, you always have to persuade others to let go of their grudges. She looked at me with interest, "I like to hear what you have to do with me?" ”
I remembered that snowy day five years ago, Wei Tian, who was still the monarch of Jinguo at that time, found me and asked me to help him plant hatred, and I once persuaded him-
"Your Majesty, in the kind of hatred of this matter, your life and death are still light, you can't lift it up and put it down, you can't survive and you can't die, you sink in the treacherous situation repeatedly, and you can't get out of the cage, which is the most sad. Therefore, if Your Majesty is not happy because of petty hatred and hatred, the villain still advises you to put the country and society first, let go of the hatred and pain as soon as possible, and don't embark on the road of hatred. ”
The terrible thing is that every word I have ever persuaded has become a proverb, and in the end, he is really as I said, and the Dongli branch he loves, sink in a treacherous situation, and cannot get out of the cage.
The past was so hurtful that I couldn't help but wet my eyes.
Although the princess in front of me had been coercing and seducing me, I could not watch the princess and her colt, who had a bright future, fall into such a situation.
I straightened up and looked at her eagerly through the misty tears, expecting her to change her mind: "Princess, if you have a small grudge, I advise you to let go." There are thousands of unsatisfactory things in this world, but compared to life and death, those are small things. ”
Her gaze was a little foggy, but she quickly regained her calm expression and said with a smile: "Since Lord Qin has persuaded me, am I going to start talking about the matter between me and Wan Qishu?" I heard that this is the second rule of adults? ”
I began to realize that the princess was more prepared than I had imagined, and that she was more determined to achieve her goal than I had ever imagined.
This is the person I can't persuade, and she won't listen to me at all.
I poured a sip of Biluo spring tea, lowered my eyes and said: "The princess's commission is different from others, in the past, it was to take the client's hatred, so the client can often explain clearly who he hates and why he hates." The princess is asking me to take the hatred of Lord Wan Qi now, so it should be up to him to talk about it. ”
"Lord Qin, if you leak the news and let Wan Qishu know about this matter, I will command the troops to level the Jinguo and the southern country you are worried about." She used this extremely lazy tone to say that murder does not see blood, "Wan Qishu is twenty-four years old this year, and this princess has known him for twenty-four years. In the past twenty-four years, no one seems to know better than Princess Ben what he likes and what he hates, so Princess Ben will tell him on his behalf. ”
……
In the ninth year of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, on the night of the summer solstice, the sky is like a curtain, the stars are bright, Queen Nanyi gave birth to a princess, and the Emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty was overjoyed and named the princess Xingran. Seven years later, in the early morning of the winter solstice, the morning glow is hidden, the sea fog is boundless, the young prime minister of Dongqi Wan Qiyi is happy to have a noble son, three days later, the Dongqi Emperor took Princess Xingran to congratulate, and the prime minister asked the Dongqi Emperor to give the name of his son.
Dong Qihuang held the doll in his arms, looked at the little girl next to him who was only seven years old but had read poetry and books, and asked kindly, "What does Xing Ran think is it called?" ”
The little girl stood on tiptoe and looked into the arms of Emperor Dongqi, only to see a delicate doll, looking at her quietly with his dark jade-like eyes.
"Teng Wen Weise, nine lights are united in Zhenming; Yi generation is very special, and Baibao is nourished in animal plants. The little girl smiled, "The so-called Yi is special, there is a 'Yi' in the prime minister's name, and the younger brother's name might as well use the word 'Shu'." ”
As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Wan Qi was overjoyed and knelt down on the spot: "Wan Qi gave the name to Princess Xie for Xiao'er!" ”
The little girl smiled brightly: "Then can I hug him?" ”
Yes, when Wan Qishu was born, Princess Xingran once hugged him, and even the name "Wan Qishu" was taken by Princess Xingran. The entire Dongqi Kingdom knew that he was the righteous brother recognized by Princess Xingran herself, and they all sighed for the good life of this doll.
Five years later, the twenty-five-year-old prime minister Wan Qiyi died of illness, leaving behind a five-year-old child, Wan Qishu. Emperor Dongqi took Princess Xingran to mourn, and he planned to comfort the orphan and widow, but he saw the five-year-old Wan Qishu standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a plain manner, like an adult, receiving the court officials who came to mourn and saluting them one by one.
"Xing Ran, do you say he's sad?"
"When I lost my father at a young age, I was naturally grief-stricken."
"Then why didn't he cry?"
"As the eldest son of the Wan Qi family, he naturally wants to pick up the burden of the Wan Qi family, he can't cry, at least not in front of people. If he wept, then the entire court would understand that the Wan Qi clan had fallen, and anyone could bully them. ”
Emperor Dongqi nodded appreciatively.
Twelve-year-old Princess Xingran sat in the tall and majestic carriage, looking at Wan Qishu in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion from afar, and suddenly felt a little sad, she wanted to get off the car to comfort her, but when she saw the alienated look and cold eyes of the little boy when she looked at the carriage, she felt as if there was no need for this, so she said to the Dongqi Emperor beside her: "Father, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to support this doll, you still hugged him back then." ”
Emperor Dongqi smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "Wu'er also hugged that doll, why don't you go with me to support him?" ”
Xing Ran propped her chin and looked out the window, squinting at the handsome child in front of the door with skin as white as jade and eyes as far away but very indifferent to her, thinking to herself that this princess seemed to have offended him, and he stopped calling my sister the last time we met, and going there would only make him even more unhappy.
The reason was that she rode out of the palace early in the morning, and galloped all the way to the dock to meet the triumphant return of the general Xue Chu and the young general Xue Mo, she didn't notice Wan Qishu's carriage parked all night next to the palace gate, but Wan Qishu saw her galloping out on horseback.
When she returned to the palace, it was Xue Mo who led the horse, she sat on Xue Mo's horse, and happily said that Weihai had another excellent singing troupe, and there was a very good Lu restaurant on the West Archway, and she had recently developed a new artillery with a longer range than before, and she was accidentally injured. ”
Xue Mo stopped, held the jade arm through his sleeve, lowered his head and blew on her gently, "The princess should not touch these things, how can it be good to hurt her body." ”
"Don't worry, my prodigy-like little brother has already cultivated his pharmacology very well, he gave me the medicine, and you can see that it has scabbed." After saying this, he suddenly felt a familiar gaze in front of him, and when he looked up again, he saw five-year-old Wan Qishu standing on the carriage, looking at her and Xue Mo motionlessly.
She couldn't understand Wan Qishu's eyes, which seemed calm, indifferent, resentful, and disdainful, but since then she has never heard Wan Qishu call her sister.
Thinking back to the day of Wan Qiyi's funeral, although Princess Xingran on the carriage was sad in her heart, she changed her words with Emperor Dongqi when she spoke: "Brother Xiaoshu lost his father at a young age, and if he sees me and my father appear together, I am afraid that I will touch the scene, and the grief will be overwhelming." It's better to ask my father to go alone. ”
She thought she had taken care of his mood, but she didn't expect that after Wan Qishu had paid homage to Emperor Dongqi, she walked straight to the carriage, and bowed through the bustling and heavy curtains: "Since Princess Xingran is here, why don't you get off the carriage?" ”
Even though the voice is immature and what a child should look like, the words spoken and the tone of his voice are completely mature adults.
When Xing Ran heard this, she lifted the curtain, and saw Wan Qishu stretching out her little hand to her: "Welcome Princess Xingran." ”
Wan Qishu has such a characteristic - even if he looks down on a girl, he will stretch out his hand to that girl when she dismounts, crosses the bridge, or goes out of the boat.
At the Dongyun Terminal, I saw with my own eyes the way Wan Qishu stretched out his hand to Xing Ran in the cabin.
"I don't know why he wants to do this, it's not that this princess can't come down by herself," Princess Xingran smiled tiredly and complained to me, "Why do you have to do all this superficial work." ”
