CHAPTER XLVII
"Drink!" I opened my eyes suddenly, and I only saw the wall above my head, and I was relieved to see that this was the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mo'er helped me fix the quilt next to my bed: "I still drink, my temper is really more stubborn than that of a donkey!" ”
I got up and tried to stand up, "Ah! "I put my hands over my head, and I just felt a headache.
"You know it hurts?" Aunt Song held a bowl in her hand, "Hurry up and drink some sobering soup, if it weren't for the fact that the old man didn't catch you last night, otherwise you would have to be grounded for half a year this time, why is the girl's family drinking so fiercely, drinking too much hurts your body!" ”
"Mmmm......" I drank the bowl of decanting soup in one go, this decanting soup was even worse than wine, sour and astringent.
"How did I get back last night?" I put down the bowl and asked Mo'er, I still have some memory of what happened last night.
"It was General Lu who sent you back!"
"Lu Huai!"
I was stunned, fortunately it wasn't Chu Muxiu, if he saw my appearance, he would definitely look down on me.
"But I think there were a few more people!"
Mo'er continued to fold the quilt: "What do you remember when you were drunk, General Lu was alone last night." ”
"Did I do something embarrassing?"
Mo'er nodded: "Hmm...... It's a shame! ”
I got into the quilt, "What kind of wine am I going to drink, my God," I tore open the quilt, "did I hit someone?" ”
"Not really!"
I jumped out of bed all at once: "That's fine!"
Later, I don't know how long it was, but it was probably more than a month, because the osmanthus flowers in the yard were about to wither.
Without Chu Muxiu, my life is still the same, but I don't think it's as interesting as before, and sometimes I lose interest in doing something. Although Mo'er didn't know what was going on, it was probably not a good thing to see me like this, and she didn't ask me in her eyes. I didn't want them to worry about me, so I kept pretending, pretending to be nothing.
But I was born not to pretend.
I think his life would have been the same without me.
I was still sleeping that day, and Aunt Song dragged me up and said that someone was in the palace.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" When I went out, it was Mo'er's turn to pull me, and these two people took turns to torture me.
I was still squinting and yawning, and when I walked into the courtyard of the hall, I saw Gonggong Li standing at the door with a few people, and then I saw Daddy and Steward Yu all kneeling on the ground.
Daddy winked at me, and I quickly ran over and knelt behind Daddy. Grandpa Li looked at me sharply, with mockery and provocation in his eyes, and I can only say that I don't like this strange person who is neither male nor female.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Prime Minister Nan Heng is gentle and generous, cares about the suffering of the people, and has worked hard for the court for many years. His daughter's Nanyan Candle knows how to read ...... Gift, show outside the Huizhong, is really a beauty. "Gonggong Li also looked at me deliberately when he said this, I was annoyed, am I not worthy of these words, but those were written by His Majesty, even if it is for his head, he has to read it.
"Lu Huai, the son of General Lu, when he is suitable for marriage, when he chooses a virtuous woman to match, the daughter of the Nan family is in the boudoir, and General Lu Shao can be called made in heaven and earth, and it is the beauty of a beautiful woman. Hereby, I decree that the marriage between the Lu family and the Nan family will be granted, and the marriage will be completed on the sixteenth day of the next month. Chin this! ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
My mind was blank in an instant, and the whole person was confused, and there was only one thought in my heart, that is, it was really impossible for me and Chu Muxiu.
Gonggong Li handed over the holy decree to Daddy, and smiled darkly, "Congratulations to Nanxiang, remember to call Father-in-law and I will come over for a glass of wine!" ”
Daddy nodded: "Definitely!" "These two words Daddy said very far-fetched, what is so funny in this, why did His Majesty suddenly give marriage, Daddy is really confused.
Gonggong Li walked for a long time before I came to my senses, Mo'er had the same expression on her face as me, and Aunt Song pulled me up, "Ah Candle, this time it was Your Majesty who personally gave me the marriage, Aunt Song is really happy for you!" ”
Daddy's heart has finally settled, and he is naturally happy. In fact, after Daddy recognized me that time, he always reminded me of the matter with Lu Huai intentionally or unintentionally, but I always listened unintentionally and replied from time to time, and then Daddy simply didn't ask.
Daddy walked past me with the holy decree, and I grabbed him: "Daddy, I ......"
"If you don't want to get married, Daddy still has a way!" Daddy really still feels sorry for me.
When Daddy said this, I suddenly felt very sorry for him, I knew that I had always worried about him, and now that I am getting married, he is happier than anyone else, I want him to be happy, and I have been happy......
I looked down and up: "I do, Daddy, I do...... ”
Daddy touched my head: "My daughter has grown up!" ”
It's been a long time since I've seen Daddy so happy, and he even speaks with a hint of a smile.
I went back to the house, and I didn't cry or make a fuss. Sitting in front of the mirror, the person in the mirror with a haggard face and no grin, I almost didn't know anymore. I've always been happy, I've always been carefree. This is a marriage from His Majesty, and I really can't escape. Daddy said that, but I know that resisting the decree is a capital crime, Daddy loves me so much, how can I be willing to let him die for me.
In fact, I am very glad that the person I want to marry is Lu Huai, in the past, I was reluctant to do most of it because of Chu Muxiu, and half because I was not familiar with Lu Huai. But after spending some time with him, I think he's a good person, at least very good to me.
In fact, I trust people easily, and maybe that's why I'm so easily hurt.
I slept hazy at night, I had a dream, I dreamed that Chu Muxiu said that he was going to take me away, I smiled and gave him my hand, but suddenly that person became Lu Huai.
I thought I was going crazy, but I suddenly opened my eyes and found that it was a dream, and Xin Hao was a dream......
I couldn't sleep until the second half of the night, and I decided to get up after tossing and turning. I took out the wooden hairpin from under the pillow, the only thing he left me. I touched it for a long time, then hid it at the bottom of the mirror.
Lu Huai came to me the next morning, and we sat in the wooden pavilion in the courtyard.
I poured him tea: "This is osmanthus tea made with the first dew for breakfast, it is very fragrant, you can try it." ”
Lu Huai leaned close to his nose with a teacup and sniffed: "Sure enough!" ”
He took a few sips and put the cup down, "I don't know why Your Majesty would give such a holy decree!" ”
"That's Your Majesty, what does this have to do with you?" I asked rhetorically.
"If you don't want to, I can go into the palace and explain to Your Majesty." Lu Huai's tone was a little hurried.
"How do you explain that it's a holy decree, but you have to lose your head if you resist the decree?" Even though I say this, I always have a glimmer of hope in my heart.
Sure enough, this question stumped Lu Huai, and he was stunned for a long time, "Otherwise, I will say that I already have a sweetheart, and ask Your Majesty to withdraw from this family matter!" ”
I actually want to laugh a little bit when Lu Huai said it, he has already done this in order to do this, and I have no way out. In fact, I didn't lose at all by marrying him, on the contrary, I felt that I was sorry for him.
After a long time, I said, "This family doesn't have to retreat, I am willing to marry you." ”
"Really?" Lu Huai was very happy, and his eyes were shining with gold.
With such a look, Chu Muxiu is afraid that he will never have it in his life.
"Well, it's actually nice to think about spending a lifetime with someone as interesting as you." I tried not to be so far-fetched, and tried not to let Lu Huai see through it.
Lu Huai just nodded, probably seeing something.
I turned my head: "Lu Huai, look, the osmanthus is going to wither, and I can't drink osmanthus tea until next year, it's a pity!" ”
"If you like it, the entire General's Mansion will be planted with osmanthus in the future."
I nodded and said yes, most of my heart was moved.
Daddy planted a yard full of peach blossoms for my mother, and now I have met the person who is willing to plant the whole yard of osmanthus for me, how lucky I am, I think I should be content.
After sending Lu Huai away, she saw Jin'er at the gate, she walked around with her fingers pinched, and looked inside from time to time, it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
"Jin'er!" I called her at the gate.
"Miss Nan." She ran over.
"You're looking for me?" I asked her.
She hesitated for a moment: "Oh, it's nothing, just passing by to see you." ”
Jin'er was obviously lying, and she saw that she had stepped on a clearing under her feet.
"Miss Nan hasn't been to the palace much recently."
"I've been busy lately, and I can't go out."
"Miss has a conflict with His Highness?" Jin'er looked up at me and asked.
"No, we don't have any contradictions."
Jin'er bowed her head: "That's good, it's probably because of the court, Your Highness has been a little godless for a few days, eats less, talks less, and has a high fever last night." If Miss had made time to walk around the Yiwang Mansion in the past few days, His Royal Highness would naturally be happy to see you, and he would be happy about this illness. ”
I was stunned, it turns out that an iron man like him can also get sick.
"I can't spare time during this time, if Your Highness is sick, you can take care of it!"
"Hmm."
"By the way, Jin'er, I'm going to get married, remember to come over for a glass of wine on the sixteenth of next month!"
I admit that most of the reason why I called Jin'er over to drink the wedding wine was to show Chu Muxiu, and I also wanted him to feel uncomfortable for a while.
"Married? I thought you and my Highness could get along, but now you ...... But it's okay, as long as you're happy, I don't know which son can marry you. ”
I smiled bitterly: "That son must have been down for eight lifetimes to marry me." ”
I turned around to go back, if Jin'er continued to talk, I was afraid that I would have to go to Yiwang's Mansion again.
"Will Miss go to King Yi's Mansion in the future?"
Chu Muxiu also asked me this sentence before, and I immediately understood that Jin'er was a lobbyist sent by him.
I didn't turn my head: "No! ”
I vaguely heard Jin'er sigh, and then I turned around and she was gone. Even if I had that heart, I wouldn't have the guts, I couldn't take the lives of the whole people for myself, I couldn't be a sinner like that.
"How is it, did Ah Candle promise to come over?" Qian Che waited for Jin'er around the corner.
Jin'er shook her head: "No." ”
Qian Che was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "What can I do this time, my head is big, you said that His Highness is also a tendon, and he can still hold it at this time!" ”
"Yes, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!" Jin'er blurted out.
Qian Che Mu Ne, glaring at Jin'er.
Jin'er was terrified: "No, I didn't mean that, really not!" ”
