Section 14 Alive (2)
The next day, I arrived at Mingyue Building early and told the shopkeeper that he would be closed for one day today, so that the guys, including himself, would have a day off. They immediately burst into laughter, but it was only when they saw that I looked gloomy and haggard, that they did not act too cheerful.
When King Qi came, in the entire restaurant, except for the downstairs guards, there were only me and Xiaocui.
Seeing King Qi walk in, Xiao Cui saw the ceremony, served tea, and went downstairs.
I raised my glass to the king and said, "The south wind replaces wine with tea, congratulating Your Highness on the approaching happy event." ”
He smiled and bowed his head, once upon a time, this action made me very happy, but now, it makes my heart like a knife. How I wish he would deny it, and tell me, "No, where did you hear the rumors?" Yet, he confessed it so unmistakably, even joyfully.
I took a sip of tea and said, "I don't understand a little, how the marriage between His Royal Highness King Qi and Sister Quan was decided so quickly, if I remember correctly, His Royal Highness met Sister Quan for the first time in front of my house that day." ”
He nodded again.
"So, I met His Highness before Sister Quan, why did His Highness choose Sister Quan instead of me?"
"Nanfeng, this has nothing to do with who comes first and who comes later, if you say meet first, I have seen a lot of ladies before you. My brother and sister-in-law have been trying to help me find a princess for the past two years, and they have shown me a lot of picture albums, and I have also seen a lot of real people. ”
"I heard that your imperial sister-in-law has always wanted you to marry the daughter of her maiden relative?"
"Yes, her mother's daughter, almost every one of them she has introduced to me."
"But you didn't like it, but you only fell in love with Jia Quan at first sight?"
After asking, I looked at him nervously. I watched his lips squirm and my ears buzzing, and I wished I was deaf like this, but no, I still heard his voice, though it was like a mountain and a river: "Yes." ”
Yes.
God, why did you give birth to me?
I couldn't control the tears rolling in my eyes any longer.
"South wind?" There was a look of bewilderment, a hint of embarrassment, and a hint of pity on his face.
"You've never liked me, have you? Not at all? Just because of me, I don't look beautiful enough? ”
"I like you too, Nanfeng, you also have your beauty, I saw you in your house that day, you are fresh and elegant, like a little daisy. We had a lot of fun at your house that day, and I have always loved the handscroll you gave me, and I have always kept it on my desk every day to copy, and your chess skills also broke my heart. ”
"But you still can't accept me, you don't want to marry me, you only love Jia Quan in your heart, right?"
"These are two different things. Jia Quan is your sister, and I don't want your relationship to be too stiff. Your mothers on both sides of you have died of old age, and I hope you will not do this in the next generation. I will be your brother-in-law in the future, I hope you can lead your mother and have a good relationship with your sisters, I hope your family is harmonious. ”
After a pause, he said again in a pleading voice, "I hope you can convince your mother to take Jia Quan's mother back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." I heard that your mother doted on you, and she would listen to what you said. Later, Jia Quan got married, and her sister was also at the age when she should get married, and her mother was too lonely to live alone in Yongnian. ”
I stood up on the ground and said with angry eyes in my eyes; "It turns out that you are not here to see me today, but for Jia Quan and your future mother-in-law! You're coming as a lobbyist as your future brother-in-law? You want me to convince my mother to take Jia Quan's mother back, so that she will have no worries after marrying you, and you can live together carefree and happy, don't you? ”
He also frowned: "I can't help it if you think like this, but Jia Quan is your own sister, don't you want her to be happy?" Her mother was originally your father's original wife, isn't it natural for her to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Nanfeng, I want you to be a kind, sensible girl, not like your mother. ”
I can't describe my anger anymore: "It turns out that you are not only here for Jia Quan's happiness, but also for teaching and insulting me and my mother. How am I not kind? Why is it unreasonable? What happened to my mother? Is your beloved Jia Quan very kind and reasonable? Do you know why she was waiting outside my door that night? ”
He asked a little warily, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"I'm just telling you that your so-called kind, sensible girl waited outside the door that night. She hates my mother for snatching her mother's husband, so she's going to take away the person I like as a way to avenge her mother. And you are nothing more than a weapon for her to take revenge on me. When she first found out that I had asked you to invite you, she had already sent me a letter of war. She said that she and her mother were not convinced by this tone, and they did not believe that ladies were not fashionable, but that the shrews were in charge, and she said that she was going to compete with me for you, and you were the tool she used to bet with me! She wants to use you to verify whether her mother's set works or my mother's work. ”
His face changed, and he said shortly, "I don't believe it! Jia Quan is such a weak girl,"
"Weak? Ha, you must have heard about her quarrel with me in the palace, let me tell you, that time we quarreled from the palace to the outside of the palace, my eloquence is powerful enough, and I am not her opponent. ”
He was silent for a while before he said coldly, "Even so, I love her." She was the only woman I fell in love with at first sight in all these years. ”
I also sneered and said, "So what? You're also the only man I've fallen in love with at first sight for so many years. ”
He sighed and said, "Nanfeng, you're still young. ”
"Just because I'm young, don't you even give me a chance to fight for it? I've only known you for fifteen days, so why don't you give me a little more time for me to prove to you that I'm worthy of your love? Why are you in such a hurry to decide your marriage? ”
"I'm not young anymore, I'm twenty years old, and other men have already married and had children at my age."
"You've been waiting for twenty years, why can't you wait so much now, deciding your marriage in such a short time? Don't you think you're too sloppy? ”
"You don't understand, you're still young, and sometimes, a man may not want to marry at all. But one day, when he met a woman, he suddenly realized that it was time for him to take a wife. ”
"Jia Quan is the one who made you suddenly want to marry and have children?"
"Yes."
"It's not fair to me, I've only known you for fifteen days, maybe if we date a little longer, you'll want to marry me."
"There's no point in dwelling on this matter any longer, I've made up my mind. The wedding will take place before the end of this year, and I will officially become your brother-in-law. I hope you can face this matter squarely, really look at me through the eyes of a brother-in-law, and stop thinking nonsense. ”
"That's impossible. Whether you are Jia Quan's husband, or Zhang San, Li Si, and the husband of a cat and a dog, you are still my King of Qi, the person I love the most in my heart. ”
"South Wind You ......"
I smiled at him with tears: "Do you think that's the end of the story between us?" I'm telling you, it's far from it. This is not the end, but the beginning, and the story between us has just begun. I only met you fifteen days ago, although something big happened after that: you got married. But that doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't stop me from continuing to love you. My journey to love you and chase you in this life has only just begun. You just wait to pick it up, I'll leave you with her for the time being, and I'll be back. Because you were originally my person, you are my King of Qi, I am your Wuyan, and we were a couple thousands of years ago. ”
I reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, then stood up and said, "Marriage is just a formality, nothing is guaranteed, nothing can be explained. In my heart, you have always been with me, in my blood, in every part of my soul and body. From the moment I saw you, my soul awakened and I knew you were the one I was looking for. We have been together since the beginning of HarmonyOS and have never been, and never will ever be, truly separated. ”
