Close the lock thousand
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I couldn't laugh or cry at Yu Gui. When I turned my head, I accidentally saw a mountain of wedding etiquette teachings on the table.
Commissioned birds and geese, with deerskins.
Because I came from Beiqiu, I lived in Zhanhua Palace, and when I got married, the wild geese, coins, crowns, Fengdian, etc. sent by Jingwangfu were also temporarily placed here, and there were more than five rooms piled up. Jingzi new marriage, six etiquette is not sorrowful, and the lamb goose is always prepared.
A trace of resentment suddenly flashed in his heart, for the upcoming wedding, he was busy inside and outside the palace. Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Naji, Nazheng, invitation, and then greeting, every step on the wedding day, King Yonghe made a fine plan, and Anping personally instructed me in etiquette, standing and sitting, kneeling and bowing......
These days, I get up before dawn to learn the rules.
It seems that everyone is busy with this marriage, but they have never been able to pay attention to it.
I spread the thick "Female Commandment" on my lap and didn't have the heart to read it. The book was closed, I stared at Yu Gui, Yu Gui after marriage was not better than me, Bai Li Yuan was more than respectful and loving her, and the love was thin, Yu Gui once confided in me with a wry smile, so entangled in a person every day, he will always have feelings for me, even if it is not love, there is family affection.
I persuaded her enlightenment, and there were only one or two sentences to see the opening point, don't think too much, everything must look forward. But it didn't have any effect, it couldn't heal her emotional wounds, and it couldn't convince me.
I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my hometown and live so tired.
"Yu Gui, I don't want to marry Changji."
She was startled by me, grabbed my hand and asked, "Why?"
I put my hands on my cheeks and said sadly: "As a friend in the past, Changji never deliberately alienated me. And now, because of his affinity, these days, he has been avoiding me, and he is very annoyed to see me. If we get married, we will get along day and night, and at that time, he will look at me every day, and I will be depressed because of his unpopularity, and then I will end up with a disgusted couple, and it will ruin our old friendship. Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the big gift is not completed now, and dissolve the marriage contract as soon as possible, and everyone will be relaxed. ”
"Idiot. You're thinking too simply. ”
Yu Guiyi slapped me on the back of the head and pouted in disgust, "This is a national marriage, how can it be dissolved?" It is an ordinary people's family, and it is impossible for a man and a woman to get married at will. As a princess in a foreign country, Changji is the eldest grandson of the royal family, and your marriage has never been decided by yourself. ”
"But he doesn't want to marry me, he doesn't like me."
I was very aggrieved and almost wanted to cry: "Your Majesty mentioned before that I would marry Changji, but he refused, and would rather be beaten by His Majesty than agree." It can be seen how resistant he is to this marriage. If he is so unwilling, why should he be embarrassed? While it's not a foregone conclusion now, it's better to go and make it clear to Your Majesty, saying that the long is extremely unwilling, and I don't want to force it,"
"Hmph, can it be that what you say will work, and you can change your mind today?"
Yu Gui was unhurried and hit the nail on the head.
I was stunned for a moment, yes, what I said didn't work, I couldn't be my own master, let alone someone else's master.
Yu Gui put his arms around me, sighed and sighed, and said: "I'm the same as you, and the people I marry don't want to marry me." But even if we don't want to force it, but want to fulfill our sweetheart, we just talk about it, and we can't actually do it. Our identity is here, restricting our every move, word and deed, it is impossible to do whatever we want, there are too many things to consider. My marriage is related to the honor and disgrace of the entire Yongwang Mansion, and your marriage is the marriage of diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”
"But I don't want to force him."
It's one thing for me to like Changji, but it's another thing to marry him or not, the cow doesn't drink water, so you can't force the cow's head to press it.
Yu Gui looked at me for a long time, and suddenly rushed to me.
"Why can't I tell you! You can't be confused, what are you doing with such a competition! This is His Majesty's marriage, and it is not a long pole that you forced, so you can't force it. ”
I was stunned for a long time, and then smiled encouragingly.

——
The full moon in the night caused the wolf howl of the lunar eclipse. Originally, this voice should have been terrifying, but because of my boredom, it only sounded like a complaint, and the grievance was abnormal.
Tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, I sighed and simply got dressed and went out for a walk.
There is a dark shadow under the tree in the courtyard, faint, I can't see it very really. I carried the lantern and took a closer look to realize that it was a step.
I paced up to her, and she looked up at me at the sound.
Seeing that I was thinly dressed, he hurriedly said, "Why don't you go to sleep, it's cold at night, be careful of typhoid fever." Her voice was low, as if she had just cried.
I cautiously asked her, "Duobu, are you crying?"
"I didn't cry, the wind was strong at night, and my eyes were sour."
She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and smiled back at me.
"Lying, obviously crying, what's so embarrassing."
I put down the lantern and sat down next to her, looking around and silent.
"Can you tell me why you're in a bad mood? Speak up and listen, maybe I can help you. ”
She smiled, opened her teeth, and spit out three words to me: "Homesick."
I was silent and asked, "Just crying because I'm homesick, and there's no other reason?" ”
"Hmm."
Duobu generally doesn't lie, but that doesn't mean she can't lie. She doesn't have any obvious features when she lies, she doesn't blush, she doesn't stutter, she only speaks in a different tone, she speaks more concisely and clearly, and she cherishes words like gold.
I frowned, trying to catch the look on her face, and she was calm and unflickering.
"Don't talk about it, I don't want to know anyway."
I didn't even look away, pretending not to care.
Lang shouted, and the lunar eclipse jumped out of the arch of the west courtyard with his head held high. When he saw me, he ran over. I hugged the lunar eclipse and rubbed it, smoothed its fur, turned back to Duobu and smiled sweetly: "Look at how well-behaved the lunar eclipse is, where it looks like a wolf, it is more obedient than a dog."
The lunar eclipse seemed dissatisfied with me comparing it to the dog, and immediately raised his head to the sky and howled to express his resistance, I
After thinking about it, he also felt that it was not appropriate, and hurriedly changed his words: "But ordinary dogs can't be compared with lunar eclipses." My lunar eclipse is a wolf with noble blood, not a house dog barking in the deep alleys. ”
The eclipse was a little relieved, and meekly rubbed my hand and motioned for me to touch its head.
This guy's head was too heavy, and after only a moment of resting on my hand, it made my hand numb, and I almost tried to withdraw my hand to loosen my muscles, and it still looked unhappy. Helpless and funny, I patted it on the head and said in pieces: "Lunar eclipse, you see where you still have a little wolf dignity." It's delicious and snooze, and it also has dog legs, and it knows how to scare rabbits and chickens all day long. Eat more than anyone else, every day to eat small roast chicken, you see how fat you are now, you are about to become a pig, you can scream twice and pant loudly, and you are so tired that you stick out your tongue when you run around. If you don't say it, who knows that you are a wolf, you are really a shame for your wolf clan. ”
The lunar eclipse once again expressed his anger, got up on the ground, and roared desperately at the moon, the sound shook for ten miles, waking up the sleeping flower caressing, and as soon as the door opened, he picked up the stick and came to settle the account.
The eclipse thought that I would protect it, and squatted beside me calmly, with its head raised high, no one in its eyes, and it was very spirited. Hua Fu is a ruthless character, as long as she disturbs her sleep, she doesn't care if he is a human or a wolf. The end of a lunar eclipse is the best example of this.
There was still a wolf howling in the courtyard before, but now there is only wailing.
I held my forehead and sighed helplessly, the lunar eclipse is also a strong hand among beasts, how can it be reduced to being chased and beaten by a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, if it is passed to Beiqiu, its brothers and sisters know, and they must not collectively despise it!
I watched Hua Fu carrying her skirt and holding a stick to run around the yard with a lunar eclipse, and I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, which was really funny.
I thought Duobu was also amused by this funny picture, but when I looked back at her, she was still sitting expressionlessly.
I tugged at her arm, flattering like a child: "Duobu, you smile, you look good when you laugh." Well, laugh and laugh. ”
Duobu hugged his arms around his chest, and glanced coldly at the place in front of him, looking disdainful, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose.
"Lacking, are you resentful?"
"Huh?"
I was intently looking at the excitement ahead, but Duobu asked unexpectedly.
I stared at her for a moment, trying to see something in her face, and she didn't dodge, but looked at me. Duobu's eyes were still full of tears because he had cried, and at this moment under the moonlit night, he was like the water of a cold pool. My face was reflected in her eyes, a small dot, and a little deformed, which inexplicably felt a little weird.
I wanted to speculate on her thoughts, but I was uncomfortable with her, so I didn't open my eyes to look at her, and whispered, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”
She replied bluntly, "I've always wanted to ask, but I haven't asked." I asked today, but you said it was okay. ”
No one ever asked me this, and for a while, I really didn't know how to answer.
"There used to be grievances...... I was homesick, so I hid in the quilt and cried, or climbed to the top to look into the distance, but unfortunately the building was not high enough, and I couldn't see Beiqiu. I've tried to run back countless times, but I can't. Thinking about it this way, I am really pitiful, how can I not complain. ”
I looked down and played with my fingers, my heart was full of mixed feelings, and my eyes wet for no reason.
As soon as I was born, I was forced to leave my biological parents and live in someone else's home, never received the slightest care from my parents, my adoptive father alienated me, my adoptive mother hated me, I laughed on the surface, followed Ah Zhao to make trouble, pretending to be nothing, but I was really depressed, and I was even afraid to return to that home. Later, when I learned that Hogg was my father, I was scared, but I was also happy. Unfortunately, we can't recognize each other, but we have to deliberately distance ourselves.
Later, when he was a little older, he went to war again between Beiqiu and Nanzhan. The adoptive father died in battle, and the adoptive mother was martyred, and the family was even more deserted.
Beiqiu wanted to make peace with Nanzhan, and there was no one in the clan to go, and it didn't matter if I wanted to or not, so he chose me. Trekking through mountains and rivers, leaving my hometown, and when I came here, I became a proton thrown into a foreign country by Beiqiu, and became an ornament. At that time, I was still quite resentful.
