Chapter 124: Determination
But Fan Gumin was obviously too worried, because the three sisters Fan Caiqing and Xiao Zhiqiu didn't have time to pay attention to him today.
Lingshu's bamboo hall is very lively today, although the weather is cold, the surrounding environment seems to be very bleak, even the green bamboo that is not afraid of the cold is also blowing in the cold wind, but because there are many guests, the lively laughter is drifting away with the cold wind in the bamboo forest, which makes it easy to forget the cold weather in the middle of winter.
Xiao Zhiqiu and the three sisters of the Fan family are very similar, they are all rare friends of the opposite sex recognized by Ling Shu and Song Kai, everyone is already very familiar, and today Liu Yi and Qin Fan are also rarely present, so Song Kai is in charge, so people go back to the Song Guogong Mansion to get a lot of venison and other barbecue food, and everyone is in the big courtyard of the bamboo pavilion while admiring the bamboo while talking and laughing, which can be both elegant and interesting.
The courtyard was lively and noisy, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic, only Zhao Yong and Qin Yang sat there unusually thinking and didn't say a word, because the people who sent tribute from Zhao and Jin had already entered Beijing, and they had all received the news.
Qin Fan and Liu Yi sat in the room to make tea and drink each other, and the position where they were sitting was facing the window facing the courtyard, so Zhao Yong's low demeanor naturally fell into the eyes of the two.
Liu Yi looked at Qin Fan and told him what Su Dayong had said to him last night.
Qin Fan's expression didn't change when he heard this, and he still said lightly: "I had expected it, I guessed that he would come to me when I heard Qin Yang say that he came to Beijing yesterday,"
He smiled slightly, glanced at Zhao Yongdu again, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, it is not a long-term plan for me to stay here, I was forced to take people out of the Jin Palace that day, if the ninth prince did not escape, he would have died a long time ago, and now that he has ascended the throne, the people around him who oppose him have also dealt with it almost well, so it is time to take time to deal with our affairs." β
Liu Yishen glanced at him, groaned, and said puzzledly: "Then you still decide to go back with him?" β
Qin Fan chuckled: "Return, why don't you go back?" Since I invited a valuable figure like Shiwei Hou Ye to come forward, I always have to give him some face, otherwise he will come to invite him personally, if I don't go down the steps, won't he and Zhao Shu lose face? β
"As the lord of a country, I should always be responsible for my words and deeds, I am always the guest that you Songguo once received, he Zhao Shu is no longer what it used to be, a character who can follow the light for ten years is by no means an impulsive character, and now the threat of the ninth prince to him is different from that day, he Zhao Shu should also regain the hearts of the people, so he may be able to find another way out when he goes back,"
He paused, thought of something, and finally frowned slightly, "It's just that I'm worried about another more serious problem, the ninth prince's mother, Concubine Lu, has been forced to death that day, and he still doesn't know it, if he goes back, the ninth prince will be hit hard when he knows the truth, he is a pure nature, even if Zhao Shu once killed him, he didn't completely hate him, but who can easily let go of the revenge of killing his mother?" I'm really worried that he's going to be out of his way. β
In the courtyard of King Ning, Tang Jinxi was still wearing a red dress and standing in the attic looking at the movement in the bamboo pavilion under the mountain, and her demeanor was stronger and more competitive because she was less usually outward, and her sad appearance at this time seemed to be more weak than Tang Ziqian beside her, which made people feel a little pity.
Her eyes were always focused on Ling Shu alone, looking at Ling Shu's elegant posture chatting and laughing with everyone, her expression showed a little lonely and lonely, as if she wanted to alleviate the pain in her heart, she knew the answer but still asked Tang Ziqian beside her: "Why do you say that he would rather be kind to the daughters of a few merchants, but refuse to take a second look at me?" Zhou is so good, is he so obsessed? β
Tang Ziqian saw her so sad, and her heart was quite uncomfortable, in her opinion, the person who was most tortured by Tang Jinxi's way of loving people was herself.
Ling Shu doesn't love Tang Jinxi, it can be said that no matter what method Tang Jinxi uses in this life, Ling Shu will never forgive her, if she still obsessively wastes energy on Ling Shu, then the future result must still be that she herself is hurt thoroughly.
The only thing that can free herself from this torture is that Tang Jinxi is willing to let go of Ling Shu and regain her own life, instead of living for Ling Shu alone.
"In fact, the world is so big, there must be many excellent men like Ling Gongzi, why should you be stubborn about him? You should have lived more chic than me, the queen mother and the king regarded you as precious as a princess, and your fate should have been luckier than many people, but you were too competitive, and you were too crazy. Tang Ziqian sighed, in the empty sky where even the birds were nowhere to be seen in this cold winter moon, her voice seemed to be a little sad.
Looking at the posture of the ordinary women in the lively bamboo pavilion, she showed a little envious: "My mother told me that as a woman, as a woman from the royal family, we should not be overly affectionate, because our background does not allow us to have too many choices, and sometimes we even have to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of family interests to become a chess piece that they use properly,"
"So Jinxi," she looked at her sideways, "you are already much luckier than me, you can choose your own destiny, but I can't, the princess in the palace is even more pitiful than us, the king and the queen must choose two from among them to make peace, even if you are a princess, their lives are not their own, aren't you much luckier than us?" Do you know what kind of difficult situation they will find themselves in the future once they are selected to become a candidate for peace, and if the two countries go to war, their lives may not be saved! β
Tang Ziqian said very touchingly, since listening to her mother say this, she has entered the palace to see several princesses, those princesses whose biological mothers are not high, all of them have gloomy expressions and sad faces, they are afraid that if they are unfortunately chosen, they will one day die in a foreign land.
Tang Jinxi listened to her quietly from beginning to end, and then was distracted for a moment before raising his eyes again to look at Ling Shu in the distance.
Her eyes were tender like water, with reluctance and unspeakable pain, and after a while, she clenched the hands hanging beside her, and finally made a difficult decision, with a look of determination in her eyes, and looked at Ling Shu for a long time.
Tang Ziqian just wanted to use these things to persuade her stubbornness, and it was not up to her to listen to it or not, so seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she didn't seem to refute it when she saw it, so she asked puzzledly: "What do you want?" β
Tang Jinxi took his eyes back, looked at her, and actually had an inexplicable firm calm: "If I want to die, I have to ask him for a word, if he still has no pity for me, I will treat him as a stranger from now on." With that, she turned and walked down the attic, her red cloak fluttering in the wind, and she seemed to be walking quickly and with a little determination.
Before Tang Ziqian could comprehend the true meaning of her words, he saw that she had already walked out of the courtyard of the attic in red, and couldn't help but come back to her senses, and hurriedly chased after her.
