Muling Palace

At night, it was already late, but the candlelight lit in the palace was extraordinarily bright. The guests were full, and only the bridegroom had not seen his shadow.

In the house, Wang Yijun was playing with a golden hairpin in his hand. Uncle Sun slowly walked up to him and said softly, "Lord Wang, the guests are full, it's time to toast."

Wang Yijun heard his voice and looked up to see him. But his eyes were the same as before, and he didn't have half of his life. "Why is it Anrong standing next to Princess Qi today?"

When he visited the hall at noon, he looked at the high hall, but the person he was thinking about was not there, and he had not seen her figure all day, as if there had never been such a person. Uncle Sun lowered his head, not knowing how to talk about it, whether to say that Qi Anya had left, or to hide it for a while. He saw the golden hairpin in his hand, which was the property of the former princess and Wang Yijun's biological mother.

Wang Yijun saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so he was a little angry: "Uncle Sun, you talk endlessly on weekdays, but today you are speechless. ”

Uncle Sun didn't know how to talk about it, and he was afraid that he would be angry, and he couldn't afford to lie down in this troubled water, so he took out a beautiful brocade box from his waist and handed it to him.

Wang Yijun looked at the brocade box, it was some time ago that Uncle Sun was handed over to Qi Anya, why was it in Uncle Sun's hands. He looked up at him, frowning.

Uncle Sun faintly felt a cold air, looked up and saw him, and spoke a little boldly. "At noon, Su's mother saw the old slave and handed it over to the old slave. It was the county lord who entrusted Su's mother to hand it over to the old slave, saying that the county lord had left Kyoto and returned to Jingzhou. ”

Wang Yijun listened to his string of words, and he slapped the table next to him angrily: "What did you say, go back to Jingzhou"

"Yes, the county lord is back in Jingzhou. Last night, the old slave met the county lord, but the county lord did not bring the dark fragrance girl. After asking more, it seems that the county lord has returned the dark fragrance girl back to the eldest princess. Uncle Sun said everything in one go, and the purpose was just to Wang Yijun to keep Qi Anya.

Wang Yijun was a little shocked when he heard this, he remembered the last time he saw Qi Anya, although her words and deeds were strange, but the strange warmth was indeed different from usual. He stood up, and Uncle Sun took a step back. He was about to go out when an old woman came in with two servants. When he saw her, he immediately took a few steps back, "Where are you going?" ”

"Grandma, I..." That woman was the old princess of Muling, and Wang Yijun let her discipline her on weekdays, so she was a little timid.

When the old princess saw that he could not say a word, she took a step back from him until he was almost in his position. The old princess walked around him and sat down. She saw the golden hairpin on the table, picked it up, and looked at Wang Yijun's expression: "Why is this thing still here, Uncle Sun took it to the new house." ”

"You can't take it" Wang Yijun saw that Uncle Sun was going to take the golden hairpin, and immediately spoke.

"Why not, this is your mother's relic, it is for your wife. Jia Ning is your wife, and this thing belongs to her. She knew what he was thinking, but he had chosen the path himself, and she had nowhere to help him.

"That is the wife you chose for me, and this hairpin is the wife that belongs to my heart. I've already married her, grandma, you can leave me alone, who is in your heart. Wang Yijun never dared to disobey the old lady's words, his marriage to Shen Jianing was just a military order for him. Who is in his heart, maybe others don't know, he just wants to see her every day, but now she may never return to Kyoto.

"In that case, you should complete your wedding today instead of going according to your heart's desire." She looked at Wang Yijun, she hoped that he could understand her intentions, but in fact, she didn't want him to marry someone she didn't love.

Wang Yijun fell to his knees, and he struggled. He wanted to ride his horse to Qi Anya's side, he wanted to express his inner feelings to her, hoping that she could stay by his side. "Grandma, I don't want to regret it."

"Kid, you don't want to regret it, that's right. But you go, what should Jia Ning do. What about the guests you go to the dinner. Do you want Jia Ning to have hatred for you, dignity is the most important thing for a person. Do you want to spread it tomorrow, the groom will abandon the bride on his happy day, how can you let Jia Ning raise his head and be a man in the future. Child, this is the path you chose, you can't treat Jia Ning like this. I disagree, Anya knows what you think she will think of you. Then she began to fight. Raising her hand, one of the servants who had followed came forward to take her hand.

"Uncle Sun, take the prince to the front hall, it's so late, you can start." She walked past Wang Yijun's figure and stopped to look at Uncle Sun.

Uncle Sun shouted yes, and the old lady led the two servants out of the room again.

Wang Yijun clenched his fists and knelt on the ground for a long time. Uncle Sun bent over and said some persuasive words: "Lord Wang, let's go." The old princess's meaning does make some sense, the county lord has not hired a relative, everything is possible. ”

Wang Yijun originally closed his eyes, listened to his words, and stood up. But as if he had lost his soul, he followed him to the dinner party.

Wang Yijun clinked glasses at each table of the banquet, and some people poured some wine, and they used wine to numb themselves. Until the people were gone, he sat down and poured wine into his mouth. At this time, when he was about to fall again, the second prince came to stop him and said, "Yijun, Yijun, you let go." I've drunk enough, what do I do when I drink to death? ”

Wang Yijun originally wanted to be angry, but seeing that it was the second prince, he laughed a few times and waved his hand at him: "Don't care about me, don't care about me." Tell you to leave me alone and let me drink. ”

The second prince didn't see Qi Anya at the banquet, and saw that he put it in the wine jar all night, and he also knew the reason in his heart. But he couldn't wake him up, so he only found Uncle Sun and asked him to ask a few people to drag him to the new house and prevent him from continuing to drink.

Wang Yijun was helped to the new house by his subordinates, and he was a little sober to see that the candlelight was lit, and his front was decorated with red satin. Turning around and looking at a person sitting on the bed with a red hijab, he knew that he was being helped into the new room. He sat still, not wanting to uncover her.

I don't know how many hours have passed, but he sat directly on the ground. I don't know if I'm sleepy or drunk, and I don't get up anymore. Shen Jianing, who was sitting on the bed, heard the sound of him falling to the ground, so she didn't care about the rules of the skull, so she opened the skull and let it go at will, trotted to Wang Yijun's side, half-supported him, and came to the bed: "Lord Wang, you're okay." ”

Wang Yijun still closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth. Shen Jianing couldn't hear what he said, so she could only help him cover the quilt, and then sit on the side and look at him. She had long been thinking about marrying him, the wedding scene. But he never thought that this would be the case today, and his reluctance to remove his red hijab means that he does not admit himself. She looked at the red hijab that was thrown to the ground, and wept silently.
