Chapter 2: I Don't Want to Marry You!
Shan'er was frightened, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but argue: "How can Your Majesty not care about the princess?
"Don't say it. Ah Lan suddenly spoke.
The two of them fell silent in unison and bowed their heads respectfully to her.
Ah Lan looked at the door quietly, and after a while, he only heard the sound of footsteps outside.
Emperor Cheng's side was the chief eunuch Wang Gonggong appeared at the door, followed by a long line of palace people carrying boxes, "Your Royal Highness Princess, these are the dowries that Your Majesty has prepared for you, please take a look." ”
The prince turned to one side, and the palace people behind him opened the box, and all of them were priceless treasures.
Ah Lan glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, "I want to see my father." ”
The prince bowed his head, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time to see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Shan'er was about to cry angrily, and after the princess left, she said: "When the slave maid just came back, I obviously heard that His Majesty was playing Keju with Princess Mingyu. ”
Liu An glanced at her, and she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Ah Lan looked at the boxes all over the ground and was silent.
Mingyu is a daughter who is held in the palm of her father's hand, and in front of Mingyu, he is no different from an ordinary father.
Her father's care and gentleness for Mingyu was something she had never received.
She turned and went back to the room, where there was a painting on the table, and the ink had dried.
The man in the painting is majestic and handsome, and he is the father she admired the most since she was a child.
Lan lit the fire and threw the gift, which he hadn't had time to give, into the brazier.
......
Emperor Cheng didn't give Ah Lan time to react, and the next day he sent two grandmothers over and forcibly took her out of the palace.
Luo Changtian said that he wanted to marry in the Sui Kingdom, and Emperor Cheng agreed.
As if knowing that she would resist, the grandmothers grabbed her arm the whole time, did not let her move, groomed her like a puppeteer, and stuffed her into a sedan chair when it was over.
Then he tied her hands and feet with ropes and gagged her mouth with something.
The grandmothers are still not at ease, and pay attention to the movement in the sedan chair from time to time.
But Ah Lan was very peaceful and did not do useless struggles.
At last the sedan chair stopped, and a grandmother lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, quickly untied the rope, took the strip of cloth, and quickly whispered: "For the sake of your two faithful servants, please also ask the princess to know more about current affairs." ”
Then he helped her down.
Suddenly, an angry low male voice sounded in front of him: "Wait. ”
The grandmother next to her stopped and saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Ah Lan was covered with a red hijab and couldn't see anything, but she felt a trembling aura approaching with a burst of unhurried footsteps, and then stopped in front of her.
Suddenly, the hijab was removed.
A man with deep eyebrows, a tall figure, and an imposing man stood in front of her, he was wearing a red wedding dress, and Ah Lan knew that this was the person she was going to marry today - Luo Changtian, the prince of Yueguo.
Luo Changtian stretched out his hand, hooked her chin, forced her to raise her head, and looked at her face, he suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "We have met before?"
Ah Lan lowered his eyes and said, "No." ”
Luo Changtian hid the strange emotion in his eyes and withdrew his hand, "Are you Princess Mingyu?"
Lan said, "No. ”
Her tone was calm, but the officials on the side who were sending off relatives were so frightened that their faces changed.
Luo Changtian smiled, but his smile made people shudder involuntarily: "Then you explain to me what's going on?
The officials on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There is a reason for the incident, don't misunderstand the prince! Princess Mingyu suddenly fell ill and couldn't marry the prince, our majesty decided to change the candidate after consideration, this is our eldest princess, the eldest princess is happy and quiet, and she has lived in a simple house for many years, so outsiders ......"
"You married me voluntarily?" Luo Changtian suddenly spoke up, interrupting the official's explanation.
Under the wide sleeves, Ah Lan's hands tightened, and she made a decision in just one breath, "I was forced and didn't want to ......"
"My reputation is not very good, how many women who want to cling to glory and wealth dare not approach, since you are willing to marry me, then you must like me very much?" Luo Changtian said as if he hadn't heard her words.
Ah Lan looked up in amazement and met his smiling face.
"I don't want to marry you!"
"Your Royal Highness Princess!" the official next to him warned him.
Luo Changtian still didn't listen to it, and said to himself: "Since you like me so much, then I won't pursue today's matter, I just want to replace Mingyu as my crown princess, but it's not so easy." ”
He turned around and strode away, raised his hand and made a gesture, and immediately someone quickly paved a charcoal road in front of Ah Lan, and the heat wave hit his face, and the surrounding guests hurriedly retreated, looking at Luo Changtian in disbelief.
Among today's guests, most of them were officials of the Sui State, and they had heard of Luo Changtian's reputation for being violent and ruthless, but they had never seen it with their own eyes, and now it was an eye-opener.
Ah Lan's eyes were full of shock, and his hands were already clenched on his sleeves.
She looked at the other side, at the other end of Huotan Road, Luo Changtian sat on a chair and stretched out his hand to her, and his voice was gentle: "My crown princess, come here, I'm waiting for you here." ”
