Chapter 37: Princess Fengqu
Jin Qi smiled slightly, didn't look at her, only said that these things were the harvest of his own guest Zhuangzi, and he sent too much, so he had to send them around, General Yi had a meritorious service in protecting the country, and he had been chasing after him for a long time, so he just took advantage of the opportunity to visit Yunyun and perfunctory Yi Ciyu.
In fact, it was just to get acquainted with the Yi family, so that they could coax their daughter to marry him in the future.
Yi Su was just at the age of talking about marriage at that time, and everyone in Chang'an was rumored that General Yi's youngest daughter was very beautiful, so even if General Yi was in a bad situation, the Yi family was also broken by the matchmaker in those years.
But even if King Fengqu thought about it, the Yi family tacitly agreed not to talk about it, and Yi Su slowly knew what it was for.
She doesn't need to be sold at a price like someone else's daughter, she needs to be "useful".
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the daughter-in-law of the Wei family entered the palace, and the emperor fell in love with one of them. Emperor Zhu Guifei pushed the boat down the river, blowing the pillow wind, the emperor gave the little prince of the dead queen to Zhu Huang Guifei to raise, Zhu Huang Guifei was in the limelight, and it was noisy.
At the same time, a big hand was clasped on the throat of the Yi family, tightening more and more.
Yi Su knew that he should be like the smart woman of the Wei family, drag a man with an official position into the water, step on that shoulder into the palace to face the saint, and sacrifice his fresh body to the mediocre and old emperor in exchange for something else, such as the lives of his father and brother, and the glory of soldiers.........
Yi Su's surname is Yi after all.
But she can choose anyone, but she shouldn't choose Jin Qi.
Yi Ciyu pinched her waist and admonished: "You are not allowed to provoke King Fengqu, I'm afraid that you won't have a single bone left, do you hear?" ”
Everyone else can see that Jin Qi, the king of Fengqu, is someone who should never be messed with, but she is the only one. She chose Jin Qi instead.
Because Jin Qi also chose her.
It was the forty-second year of Emperor Ping, and the winter in Chang'an City was as crisp as glass. The front line in the northern frontier guarded by General Yi was tight, and he retreated three cities in a row, and then the northeast frontier was in a hurry.
On the eve of the Shangyuan Dynasty, Jin Qi, the king of Fengqu, ordered the Shence army to go north to fight for the last ray of hope on the imperial defense line.
Yi Ciyu didn't let Yi Su see Jin Qi, and Yi Su had a cold that day, so he was so sick that he couldn't stand steadily, so he couldn't go out to see him off anyway. So she slept on the couch that day, but she couldn't sleep well, and she always heard someone knocking on the door.
She staggered to her feet to open the door, but it was empty. She thought that she was really dreaming, so she was about to go back to the bed, and then there was a "bang", and the window was smashed.
She opened the window, and a few feet away, a young man in black armor sat on the wall and looked at her with a smile, and took his index finger a little: "Stupid." ”
He had never climbed the walls of her house. It's more like a dream.
Yi Su snorted and muttered, "Jin Qi." ”
Qi homonym Qi, meaning precious. His mother took it, "Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream", her dream really came.
Jin Qi grabbed the branch and jumped over, squatting on the windowsill as a thief, looking down at her slightly.
He didn't go into the house, and he deliberately didn't even look at the furnishings of her boudoir. He doesn't seem to be a gentleman, but he has always adhered to this absurd "big defense". He just ripped off the fur and wrapped her tightly, frowning, "I was fine the day before yesterday, why did I get sick like this?" Foolish. ”
Yi Su said in a very nasal voice, "Aren't you leaving?" ”
Jin Qi looked at the gray sky, "It's going to snow, and it's going to be cold, wear more, take medicine obediently, and write to me." Something I forgot to ask you. ”
————
Yi Su waited for him to ask. He also thought for a while, and suddenly said, "There are many strange things in the north, what do you want me to bring back?" ”
Yi Su thought for a moment and lowered his eyelashes. In the end, when she reached the age of knowing shyness, she was embarrassed to say, "I want you to come back safely", but said: "I want only what you can bring back." ”
Jin Qi laughed, scratched her nose, and pretended to be stupid: "This king personally brought you an Atlantic mirror." ”
Yi Su let out an "um", "Okay." It's time for you to go. ”
Jin Qi squatted down on the windowsill and rubbed her hair, "Actually...... Actually, I forgot to ask you about something. ”
"Hmm."
He was silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating, and finally asked her categorically: "There is a vacancy for Princess Fengqu's errand, can you do it?" ”
Yi Su slowly raised his head.
The young man in front of him had eyebrows like knives, and every inch was soaked in flying spirits. There is no need to ask, no need to say, no need to doubt and hope in a roundabout way, he believes that he will definitely come back, he will definitely return victorious, and he is so determined, he is so rampant.
But he didn't know if she wanted to be his wife.
Yi Su didn't know either.
She grew up in the barracks, and knew best that the battle on the front line was dangerous, and that the Shence Army would definitely not be able to withdraw to the west, let alone echo her father's army. But she is still playing a despicable little calculation in her heart, she hopes that the Shence Army may be able to at least help General Yi, maybe the Shence Army will win a big victory and be able to drag on the war in the northern Xinjiang, maybe her father can finally win a battle, and maybe the Yi family does not have to be liquidated......
But if things really go wrong, she knows who she will choose and who she will abandon. She will definitely be like the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and become a bad woman who has all the tricks.
However, can't she have a little chance to grow old with her sweetheart?
Can't she believe that this rampant lover can really save herself?
It was the most reckless decision of Yi Su's life. She was mad to be his wife, even though she might betray him and take advantage of him...... I also want to believe in him, I want to tell him "I do".
She has Yi Wuzheng's blood in her veins, and she is a gambler who does not hit the south wall and does not look back.
Yi Su nodded slowly and said softly, "Yes." Jin Qi, I'll do it. ”
Jin Qi was very happy, but not surprised, smiled and looked down at her deeply for a long time, and suddenly lightly tapped her eyebrows with dry fingertips, "Here." ”
"Huh?"
As if he was afraid of disturbing the light snowflakes flying, his voice was extremely soft, and he asked cautiously: "Can I kiss here?" ”
Yi Su closed his eyes.
The eyebrows were hot, and a pair of warm lips covered it. Her nose was so stuffy that she couldn't smell him, the smell of winter, and the world seemed to be left with only a little bit of heaven and earth.
She heard Jin Qi's soft voice: "I know, I will do my best." Yi Su, don't believe, don't expect...... But I promise you. I admired the hand and chased it, and I didn't give up. ”
He knew all her predicaments, and he knew her humble thoughts that he did not dare to speak. When she closed her eyes and closed her mouth, pretending not to know about those things, he was always by her side - whether it was for General Yi or for Yi Su, in short, he only hated that he was not the king of life and death on the Jinluan Palace.
Yi Su's tears couldn't stop again.
After King Fengqu left, the next day the family came to the family to propose marriage. Yi Ciyu glanced at her fiercely through the crowd, turned around and went to the front. After that, Yi Ciyu ignored Yi Su for a long time. Yi Su knew she was angry with herself.
The girl in the palace quietly handed a big box to Yi Su, "The prince said that I can't accompany Miss for the festival this year, and I will definitely supply Miss in the coming year." ”
Yi Su squatted on the ground and took out the contents of the box one by one. Lotus lanterns, ghost masks, maltose, sugar snowballs, rattles, hosta flowers...... There was also a small basket of brightly lit large cherries with a note on it that said, "No Drinking."
The next year was almost a stalemate. Although the Shence army pulled a large amount of combat power in one fell swoop, but the war in northern Xinjiang had reached the end of the crossbow, Yi Fuming ran around, but still didn't squeeze out much military salary, so he knocked on Yi Su's door and asked his sister embarrassedly: "Yi Su, can you go out with me?" ”
Jin Qi's temper was not as bad as it was later, and he was happy, and the old emperor was most willing to accommodate this young prince - naturally, it was also because he knew that Jin Qi was soft and hard, after all, more things were better than less, and he was able to make some convenience for the emperor himself by wooing one or two to King Fengqu - in short, Jin Qi was very showy at that time and had his own prestige.
Therefore, Yi Su was the famous Princess of Fengqu at that time, and the people of Changjing called her "Little Princess". She changed her clothes and went out with Yi Fuming as a guest, knocking on the side at the banquet. borrowed the name of King Fengqu, and the military salary was much more sufficient for a while, and the war situation was slowed down.
In the autumn, the Shence army had disregarded the king's orders several times and went out to contain the enemy's forces, and General Yi, who had been defeated for several years, won several battles for a long time.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yi Ciyu, who had not paid attention to Yi Su for a long time, said to her: "Maybe it can be done." ”
She knew what her aunt was referring to - maybe General Yi could come back, maybe she could really marry Jin Qi as she wished.
Yi Su looked at Yi Ciyu blankly, Yi Ciyu gently combed her sideburns, and said very softly: "The family can't stand you, and my aunt can't stand you." ”
Yi Su covered his face suddenly, and tears flowed all over his face inexplicably.
In her first big gamble, she became a bankrupt gambler, betting her life and love on the tip of the knife.
The lover who was thousands of miles away soothed every inch of her warm heart with a cold battle report, and paved the tightrope under her feet with proper rampantness, and he didn't even know what kind of gift his victory was to her, and she couldn't describe how she felt at that moment.
Everything looks perfect.
The upheaval began in mid-October. After a torrential rain in Chang'an, the jackal's minions dug up the trumped-up charges of rebellion of General Yi Wuzheng, and Emperor Ping personally ordered General Yi to collect his troops and return to Beijing to recount his crimes.
At that time, there was a riot in northern Xinjiang, and the lives were devastated, and General Yi refused to withdraw and did not receive the king's order.
On November 20, with the Shence army in the east, General Yi won a complete victory. The joy of victory did not reach Changjing, General Yi was seriously wounded and could not return to Beijing, and the city of Chang'an was enveloped in the anger of Emperor Ping.
