When I returned to the palace, it was late at night. Mo Yan and Steward Zhong were waiting at the door. I kept a calm face, took off my cloak and handed it to Steward Zhong. He asked, "Have you already received the emperor's decree?" ”

Steward Zhong folded the cloak and put it in the crook of his arm, and said softly, "Yes." ”

I walked to the study in a hurry, and asked, "Where is Yingning?" How did she react when she heard the decree? ”

"Lord Wang, after Miss Yingning accepted the order, she went back to the room indifferently and never came out again." Mo Yan said behind him.

Wu Qi suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards Yingning's room. Steward Zhong and Mo Yan glanced at each other, but they tacitly did not follow.

The lights were still on in Yingning's room, and she was sitting in front of the window with her knees crossed, looking at the bright moonlight outside, with mixed feelings in her heart. The gods really won't fulfill them, and they even use such a method to break them up.

Yejun stood behind her and sighed: "Ning Ning, isn't it good for you to go back with me?" After going through so many tribulations between you, don't you understand that you have no destiny at all? I advise you to let go, it's better than the current situation. Do you want to stay and see him marry someone else? ”

Ying Ning was silent and didn't speak, she was thinking that maybe I wouldn't listen to Shen Di so much, he had always had his own opinions, he hadn't come back yet, maybe there would be some turnaround. If not, she will fight for it herself. She has come to this point, how can she let go so easily.

There was a sudden soft knock on the door, and then someone was heard: "Yingning, you open the door, it's me, I'm back." ”

Ying Ning glanced up at Yejun, he shook his head helplessly, turned around and disappeared. Ying Ning went to open the door, and looked at her deeply outside the door, Ying Ning said softly, "You're back." ”

I took her hand and went into the room. He frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

Ying Ning didn't care, just looked at him and asked, "The emperor asked you to marry Su Yuanruo, what do you think?" ”

Wu Qi put her hands into his arms and said with difficulty: "Yingning, I did my best. The emperor has already issued an edict in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and I have no way to resist the decree. ”

Ying Ning's heart was cold, and she withdrew her hand suddenly, she got up and paced in the room, and the resentment in her heart spread little by little. She gritted her teeth and said, "He did it on purpose, he clearly did it on purpose." He can't see you and me being good, he's always been like this, he hates me being with you. It was, and it is. ”

Wu Qi frowned and looked at her, as if he couldn't understand what she said. Ying Ning knew that she was out of control and said the wrong thing, so she shut up. She stroked her forehead and said, "It's late at night, the prince should go back and rest, this matter will be discussed tomorrow, I am also a little tired." ”

I took her into my arms and whispered, "Yingning, are you willing to suffer some grievances for me?" ”

Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away and asked in a cold voice, "Suffered some grievances?" What do you want me to do? Is it still staying by your side as a maid, waiting until you marry the princess and enter the door, watching you raise your eyebrows, and then serve you wholeheartedly? Or do you want me to be your concubine? Why do you want me to suffer such a grievance? ”

My heart is like a knife, he never thought of asking her to be a concubine. He once said that he would only marry a princess in this life, and would never take a concubine. But now his princess can only have someone else, and if he wants to keep her by his side, he can only let her be his concubine. Wu Qi said bitterly: "Yingning, even if you are a concubine, you are also my favorite concubine." No matter what your name is, in my heart you are my wife, the only wife. It's just that I can't give you this title in a dignified manner, I know, you can't understand it, but it's the only way. ”

Ying Ning smiled miserably, closed her eyes and said, "Please go back first, I'm going to rest." ”

I left gloomily, he stayed awake all night in the study, and he couldn't think of a way. If he insists on marrying Yingning as his wife, and the emperor really has murderous intentions, what should he do? Do you want to confront the emperor? They are brothers, they grew up together, they have a very strong relationship, and they have never blushed because of anything. Yingning's position in his heart is naturally important, but the emperor issued a holy decree in front of the ministers, which can be regarded as a clear warning that he cannot resist the decree, otherwise Yingning will really worry about his life. He liked her so much, and it was even more impossible to gamble with her life.

He thought about it, so he could only beg the imperial brother again, hoping that he would change his mind. However, he couldn't figure out some things, why the imperial brother was so resistant to Yingning, and Yingning seemed to have different emotions towards the imperial brother. Obviously, there is something inexplicable between them, the royal brother once saved Yingning's life from the hands of the queen mother, but now he threatens him with Yingning's life, why is this?

When Yingning was dressing up, a maid came and said that there was a beautiful girl outside who asked to see her. Ying Ning didn't know who wanted to see her, if it was Hongyan, she wouldn't ask to see her, and probably flew out of some corner. She hurried out, and there stood a gentle and obedient woman at the door, followed by a girl who looked like a girl. Ying Ning looked and looked, she didn't know her. It's just that the roll call is to see her, and it shouldn't be the wrong person.

The woman saluted her, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said softly: "The little woman's name is Su Yuanruo, and I heard that Miss Yingning's name is here, so I came to see her." ”

It turned out that this was the daughter of General Su who was given marriage, Su Yuanruo. The birth is really good, I didn't expect General Su to have such a slender and beautiful daughter. It's just that she came to visit her in such a high-sounding way that people can't see through her thoughts.

Ying Ning said indifferently: "Miss Su, I'm just a maid, how can you come to see me?" It's not reasonable to be reasonable, so please go back, Miss. ”

Su Yuanruo smiled slightly, and said: "Miss Yingning went into battle to kill the enemy, and personally killed the Hun leader Huton, and she is a heroine admired by everyone in Luoyang City. The little girl heard about your deeds from her father and admired it, so she came to see her, and the girl deserves to be seen. ”

Ying Ning didn't want to talk to her more, there was no need for such greetings between them. She simply said bluntly: "Are you really just here to see me, not to see your future husband?" ”

Su Yuanruo was slightly stunned, and a suspicious flush instantly appeared on her face, her ultimate goal was indeed to meet King Jing, but she was afraid that people would say that she was not reserved enough. She heard her father mention that King Jing liked a maid in the house, and she came back from the battlefield, so she was really curious, so she came to spy on it. Although the emperor's will has been made, she is naturally very happy, but King Jing has always been difficult to handle, and she does not dare to take it lightly until the end. Unexpectedly, she was exposed by Yingning so quickly, and she felt ashamed for a while.

was exposed by Yingning, although Su Yuanruo was a little angry, but after all, she was a lady, she quickly adjusted her emotions, and said lightly: "The future husband can watch it at any time, and he can watch it for a lifetime in the future, and he is not in a hurry, but Miss Yingning is more interesting." ”

Ying Ning felt that she was provoking, and she clearly had a gentle and humble appearance, how could she change so quickly. It's really a weasel greeting the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart. Why did she bother to do this, did she want to stand up in front of her, or let her retreat? She didn't want to know, and she didn't care. She looked at Su Yuanruo, there was a fleeting smugness on her face, probably because Ying Ning's face was not very good at the moment.

Ying Ning walked past her and said lightly: "Miss Su doesn't need to waste time with me, the prince should still be in the dormitory at the moment, and it is more important for you to go to see him." My status is humble, and I am not worthy of Miss Su's deliberate visit. With that, he left neatly.

Su Yuanruo turned his head to look at Yingning's departing back, his eyes were cold, and he snorted in his heart: "It's really not an easy one to deal with." ”

The maid behind her rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, you are also the daughter of Jiangmen, a young lady with a noble status, how can you come to meet such a lowly maid, isn't it despising our own identity?" ”

Su Yuanruo sneered: "Miss Ben is here to meet her, I want others to know that I am an open-minded person." She is so disrespectful to me, I believe she will be disrespected. Who would like such a lowly person with no one in his eyes? ”

The maid pursed her lips and snorted: "It's really cheap for her, Miss, let's go see the prince quickly, it's been delayed for so long." ”

When Su Yuanruo heard the prince, a smile instantly appeared on his face, he straightened his clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Yu'er, I am dressed appropriately today." ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "Be decent, when will Miss not be decent." ”

My eyes were sour, and I just felt a headache. He pinched his eyebrows, and suddenly heard Mo Yan outside shouting: "Lord Wang, something happened." ”

I recovered a little indifferent, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Yan pushed open the door and said eagerly: "Miss Yingning just rode a horse and went in the direction of the palace. ”

"What?" I was frightened and hurriedly got up, but he sat all night, his spirit was already sluggish, and he got up in a hurry again, and he was dizzy all of a sudden, and his eyes were dark and almost fell again. He leaned on the table in front of him, and after a pause, he felt clearer.

"Can you see clearly, it's indeed heading towards the palace?" I was a little weak, and his head hurt even more.

Mo Yan replied: "Yes, the last general saw it clearly, and the guard at the door stopped it, but he didn't stop it." The last general immediately came to report to the prince. ”

I stood there for a while, and said to Mo Yan: "You go to prepare a horse, and this king will enter the palace immediately." Ying Ning is reckless and never cares about the consequences, if she provokes the royal brother, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat. ”

Mo Yan went to do it immediately, and I walked towards the gate of the mansion. As soon as I left the door of the study, I saw a woman walking over. He looked at it, and it was Su Yuanruo. He had seen her once in General Su's mansion, but she was still young at that time, a small one, and she looked delicate and smart. I didn't expect to see each other for a few years, but she has grown into a slim girl. What I didn't expect was that she was given to her as a wife.

Su Yuanruo's face was flushed when she saw the prince, and she was so shy that she almost didn't dare to look up. She only saw the prince once a few years ago, and when her father celebrated his birthday, the prince personally sent a congratulatory gift. The prince is handsome and martial, Su Yuanruo fell in love at first sight, so he often pestered his father and told her some of his heroic deeds. She hopes that she can marry a man like the prince one day, but there are many people who are fond of the prince in Luoyang City, and there are countless young ladies and county lords with distinguished status. She didn't have much expectations, but when the emperor's decree arrived in the mansion yesterday, she only felt joy descending from heaven. The Bodhisattva must have heard her prayer and brought such a happy event to her.

She also stayed awake all night yesterday, and she dressed up early this morning, and couldn't wait to come to see the prince.

"What is Miss Su's coming to this palace?" I only thought about Yingning and asked casually.

Su Yuanruo bent his knees and saluted to me, and whispered: "Last night, the emperor decreed that the marriage was granted, and the little woman was overjoyed and came to thank the prince." ”

Wu Qi frowned, and displeasure rose in his heart: "The marriage is not set by this king, why do you come to thank me?" Besides, this matter has not yet been finalized, so Miss Su must not take it too seriously. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a horse's neighing at the door, thinking that Mo Yan had prepared the horse. He didn't wait for Su Yuanruo to speak, and anxiously threw down a sentence: "Miss Su, please go back, don't come to this palace if you have nothing to do in the future." ”

I left in a hurry, and Su Yuanruo stood in place, his face became very ugly. Her hands were clenched into fists, her chest rose and fell, and she was really angry. She shouldn't have come, why did she come here to suffer such humiliation? Bai Yingning didn't put her in his eyes, and even the prince didn't put her in his eyes. The matter is inconclusive? This is the emperor's decree, she doesn't believe that they can still resist the decree or disrespect? It was a capital crime, and she wanted to see what could happen to it.

Yu'er looked at Su Yuanruo gritting her teeth, and said cautiously, "Miss, what should we do?" ”

Su Yuanruo snorted coldly, "The prince is gone, what else can I do?" Go home! The coming days are long, and Miss Ben has time to spend with them. ”
