Marriage
A few days later, Yu Gui and Yun Kang came to visit me in the house, and I got up at three o'clock in the morning. On weekdays, I was used to being casual, and when I went to see them, I didn't dress up, and I was unkempt, so I only put on a dress and went out of the inner room.
Seeing me, Yu Gui smiled and said hello to me, I was confused, I didn't know what she was happy about. She glanced at me, asked me to spread the flowers and flowers, and when there were only me and Yunkang in the room, she lowered her voice and whispered to me: "Changji has accepted the marriage of the Southern Emperor, and is willing to marry with Beiqiu, and you will soon become a bride."
After being entangled for a while, at the end, he added: "I heard that Changji agreed when he was unwilling."
I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Yun Kang was as surprised as I was, but she had always been calm and calm, without my exaggerated expression, and after a while, she relieved herself and showed me a warm smile: "It's good, Your Majesty has finally appointed you to marry, missing, congratulations."
I looked at Yun Kang's bright eyes, as bright as stars, and I was silent for a long time, not knowing what kind of expression to make.
Marriage? Marriage! What do you mean, I'm going to marry Changji? Also, what does it mean that Changji agreed, or agreed when he was unwilling.
I'm so dizzy, what's going on? Maybe I haven't woken up yet, well, it must be, I'm dreaming.
I waved my hand and said haha: "Yu Gui, what are you kidding again, let me tell you, in my dream, you can't fool me." Hahahahaha. ”
Laughing and laughing, the voice faded away.
I held Yu Gui's hand and asked myself, "Is it Changji?" Yes and long pole...... Is it to marry him? "I bite word by word, and the bite is extraordinarily clear.
Yu Gui was very serious, and said with a straight face: "I'm not kidding, it's true." Baili Yuan told me in person, how can there be a fake. ”
I was overwhelmed by this news. The first reaction was not joy, but surprise.
"What's wrong with you, you don't want to believe it or don't dare to believe it, why are you so depressed. Don't hide it, others don't know what you're thinking, don't I know yet? You've always liked Changji. Since you like it, and you can marry him as you wish, isn't it a great thing? ”
I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I have never been able to accept the reality.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't believe it.
Changji agreed, and he ...... How could he have agreed? Wasn't he unwilling before, in order not to marry me, he also contradicted Nandi several times, why is he willing to do it now.
I moved back slightly, sour and uneasy in my heart.
I was so flustered that I couldn't sit still anymore, so I got up and wanted to go to Changji to make it clear, regardless of Gui and Yunkang's obstruction.
When I walked to the door, I met a team of palace attendants, who came in the breeze.
The guard of honor is headed by the attendants who are happy.
Happy to walk steadily, also Zhuang and harmonious, do not change the usual serious face. Only He Manzi beside him was full of joy and smiled like a peach and plum.
"Missing princess, the old slave is happy for you."
This was said by He Manzi, who hid behind his happiness, led all the attendants, and when he saw me, he was also happy first.
Laughing happily than the river, with a slight bow, he asked me to kneel down to receive the order.
I was still confused, I didn't hear the truth, I stood still in place, and Yu Guiyun Kang knelt down with me left and right.
I prostrated on the bluestone slab and listened to the decree in a daze.
Under the paving of long and gorgeous words, I happily talked about the point, I concentrated and calmed, and concisely extracted the gist of the holy decree - Changji was named King Jing, enjoying the honor of the prince, and the glory of the temple, and I am about to become his princess Jing...... The wedding date is scheduled for this year's winter solstice.
So it's true, I'm really going to get my wish? Why is it so unreal?
Changji, is he really willing to marry me?
After receiving the holy decree, I didn't wait for everyone to come to congratulate me, so I hurried to the Taishi Institute to find Changji.
On the way there, I imagined the hundreds of expressions on his face when I saw him, and how I should react. I repeatedly drafted and revised what I was going to say to him in my heart, but I couldn't find an opening sentence that satisfied me. What I want to know most now is how he was feeling at this time. Whether it is joy or happiness, resentment or hatred, or worry, full of sorrow.
It's really not like my crazy rabbit personality when it's so entangled.
…………
Gazing at him from afar through the sea of books, he stood in front of the bookshelf as high as a hill, holding a book in his hand.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and his back looks a lot thinner, so it's hard to make trouble so that he doesn't marry me.
I tried my best to contain the turmoil in my heart, and approached him with small steps, and saluted Shi Shiran, which was very pretentious.
"Little Lord."
This little prince even I was shocked, and Changji was even more like being struck by lightning,
I looked up and watched him turn around.
His face was dark, and his cheeks were slightly sunken, making his nose appear high. Also, his eyes are very deep, but his eyes are as dark as ever, his lips are pink and white, slightly sickly, and he smiles like that, which is still so charming.
He asked me, "Why are you here?" ”
I wrung my fingers and pursed my lips uneasily: "I am...... After hearing the decree, he came. ”
He snorted and didn't say much.
I gasped deeply and clenched my fists, "You, aren't you, unwilling to marry me?" ”
He didn't speak, and I bowed my head, worried.
"I'm sorry, I've wronged you so much. If you don't want to marry me, you have time to regret it. ”
"It's too late."
"Huh?"
"The decree has been made, and I don't have time to repent."
He said so softly, in a flat tone, that I couldn't hear anything unusual.
I don't know what he's thinking at the moment.
I said gloomily: "Then why did Your Majesty suddenly give you and me a marriage, didn't you show your attitude before, and you didn't want to marry me?" Why did you change your mind and accept it? ”
I was waiting for his answer, but I didn't want him to answer. I'm afraid, what he said makes me sad.
He hesitated for a moment, then replied succinctly: "There is no choice."
I sneered and asked, "What do you mean you have no choice?"
"You are the princess who came to Beiqiu to kiss, and it is only a matter of time before you marry someone. The royal heirs are not prosperous, and there are only a handful of marriageable men. And as I am the only man of the right age in the royal family, it is naturally the most appropriate for you and me to marry. This is also His Majesty's choice, and no one can change it. ”
Even though I knew he would say that, I couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't have a choice, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
I was speechless for a while, paused, and then laughed at myself: "Actually, my requirements are not so high, and the person who marries me does not have to be a royal family." There is no one in the royal family to choose from, and other lords and nobles can also be settled. Just like me, I am not the princess of Beiqiu Zheng'er, and I am not the same as being chosen to be married. In fact, anyone can change this position, and we are just a decoration. Instead of being so reluctant to you, it's better to change someone. ”
When the words fell, I looked up at him haughtily, and his face turned blue and white, as if he was angry.
He smiled, took a step towards me, and said coldly, "Anyone can be replaced?"
I nodded and said yes.
He put his hands behind his back, and I heard the sound of bones cracking. I lowered my eyes and didn't look at him, he took another step forward, his tone was stiff, and he asked me through gritted teeth: "Is it okay to change Meng Jie?"
I was stunned and didn't know how to reply, "What is this about Mengjie?" ”
He scoffed, "So, now it's up to me to marry you." Are you not satisfied? ”
I'm at a loss, how can I say this, it's obvious that you are not satisfied, why do you still beat me up, and I am not satisfied.
"If it was Meng Jie who married you, you would be happy, and you would think it was appropriate? It's a pity, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Meng Jie can't marry you, and the person who married you is me. Although I didn't want to, I had no choice but to say yes. Who called this a political marriage? ”
I smiled and learned from his cold words: "Yes, who called this a state marriage, you are not happy, and I am not willing." Even so, they had to torture each other. ”

The begonia flower outside the window is in full bloom, the flowers are fiery red, the branches and leaves are beautiful, and the bones are poked at the branches and treetops. The flower branches poke into the room, and they look very enchanting against the background of wood-colored curtains.
Since I came back from that day, I have been staring at the door every day, hoping that Changji will come to see me. But when he waited and waited, he was never seen. After all his friends came to congratulate him, he did not come.
As my closest close friend, Yu Gui asked me to teach me what she had learned.
In fact, Yu Gui has no experience to teach, most of her experience was learned when she was watching a play book, how dare I learn it.
Yu Guiyi said that it was a few hours without panting, if she didn't say everything and missed something, even if she had just returned to the East Palace, she had to return immediately to add an explanation to me. During the period when I was about to leave the cabinet, she took the trouble to come to see me every day, sometimes three or five times a day, which was not uncommon.
Yu Gui painted and told me every detail of the first woman, from the joy, nervousness, panic, and uneasiness at the beginning, to the sentimentality, tossing and turning.........
She sat upright, with Danzhu in her mouth, and learned from the white master's tone to admonish me: "If you want to capture your husband's heart, you must know how to please and know how to handle it." As a wife, you must not only be generous and proactive, but also be reserved and dignified, and you must refuse and welcome; It is necessary to be capable and steady, but also need a small jasper; You can't be too indifferent to your husband, and you can't be too enthusiastic, just like flying a kite, you know how to indulge in lust. ”
She gathered her thoughts, then added, "You can be stronger, but you can't lose your gentleness." You have to be witty, but you also have to learn to hide your clumsy and play stupid. ”
I listened obediently, pretending to be extremely serious on my face, but in my heart I refused.
She took a sip of tea to clear her throat, and said to me with a long sigh of relief: "How much do you know what I said?"
I solemnly said, "Back to the Master, the students have mastered all the experience you have imparted, and they are better than the blue. There may even starve you to death as a master. ”
She nodded with great satisfaction, touched her bare chin, stroked her beard, and said with relief: "The children can be taught, but you still have to be modest." If you want to become a teacher, you have to go through more experience, and you can't surpass being a teacher without a few years of practice. As the saying goes, what you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to do it. Do you know that? ”
