Chapter 1: The Divine Decree Arrives
Chaozhou, Western Xia Kingdom, Xia Family.
Carved beams and paintings, elegant and atmospheric mansions, between rockeries and flowing waters, outside the door of the splendid Xia family hall.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xia Jin, the daughter of the Xia family, is a blue heart, cautious, supple and gentle, and is specially given as the concubine of Helian Qian, the son of the world, and the marriage will be completed on the right day, so I admire this!"
The eunuch's shrill voice resounded throughout the house, and among the birds and flowers, the Xia family knelt on the ground.
"Daddy, I don't want to be a princess, I don't want it!"
As soon as the father-in-law left, Xia Jin, the protagonist of the marriage this time, cried and complained, she was dressed in a plain dress, her appearance was good, the country was fragrant, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Master, isn't it asking Jin'er to marry that ugly and cold-blooded son, isn't it going to cost Jin'er's life? Think of a way, sir! Ji Yun, the mother of the Xia family, has an excellent appearance, a brocade silk skirt, and the elegance is still the same, frowning, and reaching out to pat Xia Jin's back to comfort her.
Xia Jin was her only daughter, how could she watch her jump into the fire pit.
"What can I do, it's a holy decree." Xia Yiyang waved his sleeves and sighed, his face was full of sadness, how could he want his daughter to marry that kind of demon who kills people without blinking, so that his daughter's lifelong happiness will be buried.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't received some secret decree, the emperor would not have issued such a holy decree! Ji Yun felt sorry for her daughter, her mind was hot, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xia Yiyang tremblingly, her face full of resentment, and she complained sadly.
Before the words fell, everyone present was nervous.
"Ignorant woman, shut up!" Xia Yiyang was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, back then, the Western Xia Kingdom was initially decided, and then the feudal domain was cut, and now only Prince An was left as a vassal king, and the emperor made a secret decree to let him come to Chaozhou, the purpose was to find the opportunity to help the emperor cut the domain, this matter is confidential, and now it is shouted out by Ji Yun, how can he not be afraid.
"If you want to die now, you shout!" Xia Yiyang said angrily with a gloomy face.
Ji Yun naturally understood the seriousness of this, and when she said it, she already regretted it, for the happiness of her daughter, she cried and cried bitterly: "My hard-working daughterββ"
Ji Yun said this, Xia Jin cried even more, big tears slipped down, her eyes were full of tears, she sobbed and choked: "My daughter is dead and I don't want to marry Helian Gan, if my father really loves my daughter, I will give my daughter a dagger, and now I will end my life, and I don't have to live in the future as well as die." β
"Jin'er! What nonsense are you talking about, you want to kill your mother, and your mother won't let you die! Ji Yun said loudly, and the two cried again.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
At this moment, the knock on the door outside came quickly, Xia Yiyang was having a headache, and he was even more sad when he was shocked by this sound, and his heart was like numbness, and he couldn't help yelling: "Get out of me!" β
The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and after a pause, a weak voice came: "Father...... It's me, Xinyue. β
When Xia Yiyang heard this, he twisted his eyebrows, and said angrily: "I don't have time to talk to you now." β
The voice was quiet for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Father, the daughter has a way to make the eldest sister not marry the Qianshizi......"
The three people in the room were all stunned, Xia Yiyang was suspicious of the past, opened the door, and saw a girl about fifteen years old, with a young and delicate face, wearing a green tulle dress, timidly lowering her head, not daring to look up at him, only seeing the fluttering eyelashes, telling her uneasiness.
This person is Gong Xinyue, the daughter born to Xia Yiyang's outer room, and she is very unfavored.
"What can you do to keep Jin'er from marrying Qianshizi?" Xia Yiyang asked with a calm face, Xia Yiyang has never had much patience for this daughter, if it weren't for her mother dying of illness, he wouldn't have taken her into the house.
"What can she do! She's here to see the joke! Get lost! Get out of here! As soon as Ji Yun saw Gong Xinyue, he was furious, and his face was fierce and angry.
As long as Ji Yun thinks of Gong Xinyue's dead mother, she is full of resentment, no matter how many years she will linger, she will naturally not have a good face for Gong Xinyue.
"Mother, don't be like this." Xia Jin hurriedly stopped Ji Yun, choked and whispered to persuade, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Chu Chu's eyes carried a touch of hope, "However, Xinyue...... Do you really have a way? β
Facing Xia Jin's gaze, Gong Xinyue nodded timidly, Xia Jin hurriedly walked over, took Gong Xinyue's hand, and asked softly and eagerly: "Xinyue, say quickly, what can you do?" β
