Chapter 8: Like Yesterday's Hate (2)
Of course Pei Yaowei cared.
's own cousin, who suffered from the repentance of the Xiao man's marriage and remarried, the number of familiar roads, the shame of dΓ©jΓ vu.
This incident was like a slap in the face, mercilessly beating her back to ten years ago.
She doesn't know if today's cousin Yuan Jia is also like herself back then, when she was waiting to be married, she was full of joy and looking forward to her white head, and suddenly heard the news of regret about her marriage, leaving only a heartbreak all over the ground?
She was filled with righteous indignation, and she hated to kill Xiao Ji alive, but the person in front of her blindly stayed out of the matter and turned a blind eye.
"Doesn't Your Highness care?" Xiao Di was like this, which made her more and more angry, and she forgot the identity of 'Xiangyi' for a while, and there was no door on her mouth, "Heh, I forgot, His Royal Highness King Wu is like this, isn't it just to imitate his brother?" It should be regarded as His Royal Highness the King of Chu's teaching! β
Xiao Di raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes to look at her, only to see that the woman's eyes have always been gentle and gentle, but at this moment, they are sharp and extremely stubborn.
This gaze, with this face, suddenly sent him in a trance.
"Say it again." After a while, he said, his tone was calm and not emotional.
Pei Yaowei only thought that he was angry, as usual, she naturally wouldn't provoke him like this, but it involved old injuries, and at this moment, there were only three words left in her mind: 'turning over old accounts'.
"Say it again?" She sneered, "What does Your Highness want me to say again?" Does it mean that His Royal Highness King Wu is well-educated and well-educated, or is His Royal Highness the King of Chu setting a precedent and not being right? β
Xiao Di was not angry.
Even, there was a faint hint of an inexplicable smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he had suddenly discovered something new.
"Are you not worth it for Pei Yao?" He slowly got up and came to her, looked down at her, and asked steadily, "Do you hate this king?" β
Pei Yaowei blurted out a smile.
It was a rare feeling to hear his own name from his mouth.
Too close, she took a deep breath, raised her head to meet his gaze, and did not dodge or dodge: "What does Your Highness think?" β
"You once said that you have a deep impression of me, and you wholeheartedly recognize me as a husband, and your husband sings with you." At this moment, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, his smile was already light, and when he said this, he nodded his head intentionally: "This king almost took it seriously!" β
Pei Yaowei was silent.
She only said these loyal scenes at the time, but now that he relayed them, it made her difficult to calm down.
After a moment, her teeth trembled a little, and she asked, "Your Highness thinks that love and hate can't coexist?" β
May I?
Naturally, yes. Xiao Di remembered a time he had experienced, and unconsciously, he had calmly bowed his head.
"Love and hate can coexist." He exhaled for no reason, and then asked, "That is to say, you hate me for Pei Yao and love me for yourself?" β
Xiao Di didn't know that he only used these few questions to boil a pot of porridge in Pei Yao's mind.
All of a sudden, the words of mercy in Zhaoye Temple, and all the things when the prince regretted his marriage ten years ago, all poured into her mind for no reason.
Hate, naturally, hate.
Love......
Her eyelids trembled, she forced herself to calm down, and asked him: "Your Highness, over the years, has there ever been a moment when you regret what you did back then?" β
Xiao Di was stunned.
She seemed to take a moment of respite from this question, came back to her senses, smiled sarcastically, and continued: "Actually, think about it, what if it's a woman you don't like? You are a man, and you can have as many women. But if you listen to the words of the first emperor and marry her home, how can the throne fall into the hands of others? β
took the initiative to take a step closer to him, and she was still asking: "Don't you feel that you are losing more than you lose when you regret being red?" Even if you really take a fancy to the wife of the second son of the Pei family, as long as you can endure it until you ascend to the treasure, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to get your wish? β
Xiao Di took a step back.
His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and he turned sharply and closed his eyes forcefully.
She heard him whisper, "You don't know about me and her, and you won't understand." β
Pei Yao said in her heart, I don't understand whether it's true, but no one knows better than me about you and her.
"I really don't understand," she sneered, "King Wu's move today can still be explained to avoid trouble, but when you do it that day, is it possible that you mind the Pei family's court and don't want to marry his daughter as a wife, for fear that it will be difficult to control the foreign relatives in the future?" β
The first half of the sentence is the truth, and the second half of the sentence is still sarcasm.
In fact, she did not have doubts about what happened back then.
In the early years, she thought that the prince was loved by the first emperor, and she had cultivated a careless temperament, acting only on likes and dislikes, empathy, and regretting marriage, and did not take the four words of great rebellion in her eyes at all, only thinking that her father would blindly indulge him and spoil him as in the past.
But later, the crown prince became the king of Chu, the emperor became the first emperor, Xiao Zhu ascended the throne, suppressed him with such thunderous means, and tried to get rid of him countless times, but he survived all of them without danger. As for today, it has also managed a huge force that can compete with the court. How can a person with a clear mind do this?
There are contradictions before and after, in her previous life, she couldn't think of the result, but she didn't dare to dig deeper, for fear that this idea would be traced to the end, and what she got would still be despair.
Just as she looked at Xiao Di's back at the moment, her eyes contained a little bit of expectation and boundless fear at the same time.
"It's rare for you to have such knowledge...... Xiao Di sighed lowly, his eyes were picked out from afar, and he muttered: "You want to know, this king can tell you that I have never been troubled by the Pei family." β
Pei Yao's heart moved fiercely, her lips opened and closed, and she said word by word: "But the death of the Pei family's father and son all began with the prince's repentance on that day. β
- So, can you give me an explanation?
Can you give me a chance to let go of the past completely?
Can you tell me what you do to Pan Tian......
"Hmm." Xiao Di nodded very slowly, and the words were light: "The deaths of Qi and Shun all started on that day." β
After that, there was nothing else to say.
Pei Yaowei also had nothing to say.
There is no explanation, only this one acknowledgement.
It wasn't what she was expecting.
Even if there is no explanation, how can he admit it?
He should not admit it, he should scold himself, he should punish himself.
He should be ruthless for his concern for Pei Yaowei and the Pei family.
He just admitted it, what else could he say?
Even the hatred has become so unspent.
In a trance, Xiao Di suddenly turned around and hugged her gently.
Pei Yao's mind turned white.
He let go of her.
"Go back, the matter between King Wu and the Zhao family, just forget it after hearing about it, don't take it to heart. The Zhao family knows how to avoid trouble, and it will not be the second Pei family, and as for the Zhao family girl, she will not be the second Pei Yao. β
He said: "No one will be the second Pei Yaowei. β
Pei Yaowei didn't know how he walked through the Bi Palace.
A few days later, the news of Long Yan's anger came out of the palace.
The emperor reprimanded King Wu, refused to issue the edict of the concubine, and the holy decree clearly did not allow the wife of the king of Wu to enter the jade, even if he gave birth to an heir in the coming day, he could only be equivalent to the son born of the concubine, and he was not qualified to attack the lord.
In addition, he also sent a messenger to Beilin with a generous reward to appease the Zhao family.
"I heard that there has been a lot of trouble outside for King Wu these days, why do I look at it, our mother is not in a good mood?"
Outside the Hebi Palace, Qingchen and Yu Xu were together to water the flowers, and while talking, she looked back at the hall, lowered her voice and asked Yu Xu: "Sister has been following Niangniang for a long time, do you know why Niangniang is sad?" β
Yu Xu was also confused. That day, the master went to the bath light hall alone, and when she came back, she was not in such a high mood, and occasionally she was a little confused, she was in a hurry, and she also asked a few times, but every time she spoke, she was immediately cut off by the master.
"Alas......" she sighed lowly, and could only say perfunctory casually: "The weather is getting hotter, people are lazy, and His Royal Highness is busy these days and doesn't come over often, Niangniang is idle and boring, and there is also mental fatigue." β
Qingchen silently remembered her words and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, the mother-in-law brought in a pot of budding white begonias, saying that it was sent by the Jiyang County Mansion, and in addition, there was a letter from the prince, all of which were addressed to the princess.
Yu Xu was overjoyed in her heart, and rushed someone to send things into the inner hall, and when Pei Yaowei saw the white begonia, her face was slightly pale.
ββThe white begonias of Beilin are the best in the world.
"This white begonia is well-haired, and it is still budding! After two days, it opened, and the mother looked at it and liked it! Yu Xu said, and respectfully handed over a letter, "In addition, there is a letter from the prince." β
Pei Yao unfolded the letter, and saw Xiang Ying writing in it, this white begonia from the northern forest, I hope to calm her mind and give her happiness and comfort.
He also said that he had invited himself to go north with the Qin to visit the Zhao clan, and when he returned to Beijing, he would come to greet her.
Pei Yao's face was depressed for many days, and she was relieved for a moment in Xiangying's letter.
Unconsciously covering the letter in her heart, she approached the pot of white begonias, and stretched out her hand to gently caress the buds.
Seeing that her face was a little gloomy, Yu Xu knew that the gift of the prince had been sent to her heart, so she took advantage of the situation and said with relief: "It is said that the white begonias in Beilin are alone in the world, but the slave maid thinks that it may not be as good as this pot sent by the prince of the world." β
Pei Yaowei glanced at her and said with a shallow smile: "The heart of the prince is the best, and the others are naturally incomparable." β
While the master and servant were talking, a person quietly came behind them, heard her words, and asked casually, "Yes." β
Pei Yao looked back in shock, and it was Xiao Di who came suddenly.
Yu Xu hurriedly saluted, Xiao Di looked at the pot of white begonias, waved her hand casually, and she retreated.
Since the turmoil in the Bathing Light Hall that day, Pei Yaowei saw him for the first time, and he counted it with his fingers, and there were eight or nine days.
"Why is Your Highness here?" She wasn't embarrassed, but her tone wasn't as gentle as before, and she said lightly: "It's a blue sky and a daylight, aren't you busy with official business ahead?" β
