Chapter 5: A Sudden Marriage Contract
The sky in the backyard of Xiangguo Mansion is particularly blue, and there is a unique lake and mountain scenery here, and the scenery of the rockery is so unique that it resembles the overall shape of Xiangfu. This is the back garden that Xiangguo painstakingly designed when he married Xingyue, just to win a smile from the beauty, and this beauty is the current Xiangguo's wife He Xingyue.
Miss, don't run, beware of falling into the lake! Xiao Ling said breathlessly while chasing Wei Xin, who was flying a kite in his hand.
No, I have to run, if I don't run, how can this kite fly? After speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Xiaoling and grimaced.
turned around, but crashed into another person's arms.
Oops, it hurts me! Let go of the kite in his hand, the kite broke the string and flew freely into the air.
My kite, my kite! While screaming, ignoring the pain of being hit just now, he looked at the kite flying high in the air, and cried helplessly.
I'm sorry, I was wrong. A little brother beside him said gently.
Wei Xin turned her head, stopped crying, and looked carefully at the little brother who apologized to her with her big bright eyes.
On a handsome little face, a high nose bridge, small lips, fair and immature skin, handsome like a little girl.
Did you just hit me? Wei Xin touched his forehead and looked at his outfit curiously.
The clothes on this body are not something that ordinary people can wear, usually don't look at Wei Xin as an adult, she already knows a lot of things at the age of 17. Her intelligence, as well as her mischievous personality, are destined to be accompanied by constant curiosity in this life.
Who are you? Why is it in our house? Wei Xin looked at the somewhat handsome little brother, and she still liked it psychologically, at least, she didn't feel disgusted.
I'm the crown prince, Wei Xin, I'm really sorry just now. I'm not intentional. He explained, smirking.
The crown prince, named Li Shijie, the eldest son born to the emperor's thirteenth concubine Jingfei, read all the poems and books at a young age, both civil and military, and won the favor of the emperor, so he was awarded the title when he was 17 years younger.
Prince? Wei Xin suddenly came back to his senses. Oh my God, this is a person I can't afford to offend, so I'd better stay away.
See the prince, my mother called me, I have to go home. After saying that, he found an excuse and ran away.
Wei Xin, you wait, don't run! I'm looking for you. The prince watched Wei Xin flee and immediately chased after him.
said that it was too late and that was fast, the prince was a person who knew martial arts, and Wei Xin was just a weak little girl, where could she outrun him.
Did I catch you? The prince stretched out his hand and hugged Wei Xin in his arms, and said with a smile.
You, you let go of me! Wei Xin's shy face doesn't know what to do, she is still a girl, what kind of body is it to be hugged like this, if she is seen by Eniang and Amma, she will have to be scolded.
She struggled, but found that she couldn't do it at all. The girl's heart fluttered like a deer.
What can I do? She had an idea.
Brother Prince, you let me go first, we have something to say, okay? Wei Xin lowered his head and whispered, but his heart was in a mess.
Then you are not allowed to run, I promise you! The prince hugged her tightly, but still refused to let go, he didn't want this first meeting to become such an unhappy situation. But the gentleman could not have such a rude gesture, so he let go of her.
Wei Xin found a place and sat down. And the crown prince sat beside him.
Everyone was silent, and the girl next to her caught up, and when she saw that neither of them spoke, she broke the silence.
The little girl has seen the prince, and the prince is fine! Xiao Ling saluted.
Outside, girl, I came to see your eldest lady at the behest of Emperor Ama, but she turned around and ran away when she saw me.
This...... Is there anything about me that scares your young lady so much? The prince's puzzled face was puzzled.
Prince, you misunderstood! Xiao Ling was afraid of offending him, so he explained for the young lady.
At this time, Wei Xin's face was already flushed, and the first time he came into contact, the shyness of his daughter's family would naturally be there. She didn't dare to look up at the prince, the hug just now, she hasn't come back to her senses until now, after this, if someone else knows, how can she find her husband?
I...... Prince......
She couldn't think about how she would meet people if there were any rumors in the future, after all, she hadn't thought about finding a husband now, and for her, she still had a lot of wishes that had not been fulfilled, so she just wanted to be with her parents. After her wish is fulfilled, she will talk about marriage.
Weixin, I was rude just now! The prince looked at Wei Xin's red face, he was also in his youth, and he still understood the girl's family's thoughts. I was too anxious and a little reckless just now.
No, it's fine! She still bowed her head and remained silent, just because she didn't want to mess with anyone, she just wanted to live her own free life, accompanied by her parents, served by Xiaoling, and her twin sister Wei Lu, whom she liked very much.
Hello Second Miss! Just when the two of them were having trouble understanding the atmosphere, Veru walked over from the house.
I've seen the prince! Wei Lu saluted and walked beside Wei Xin.
Sister, you're here!
Why is my sister missing my sister when she hasn't seen her for a while? Wei Lu looked at her sister's flushed face and knew that there was something embarrassing, so she distracted herself and joked.
But no, I know that my sister is the best for me, if you don't come, my sister really doesn't know how to get out today.
When the prince heard the word "escape", he shuddered.
This...... How is this good, I wanted to give Wei Xin a good meeting ceremony, but I didn't expect to be ruined by my own impatience and recklessness.
The younger sister next to her saw the prince's thoughts.
Prince, you see that my two sisters look so similar, if you appear in a strange place, can you recognize which of us is the elder sister and who is the younger sister? Wei Lu looked at the prince's embarrassed appearance, and thought about relieving the two of them.
Hahahaha! The crown prince finally broke the tense atmosphere just now.
Then Wei Xin also laughed.
It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult, you two look so similar, even if you are a god, it's hard to recognize, not to mention that I'm just a little prince.
The girl prepared refreshments for a few people, so that a few people knew each other, they talked and laughed happily, and unconsciously arrived at the time of the house for dinner.
Weixin, Weilu, don't call me prince in the future, I always feel that we are the same age, there is no need to be so angry, my name is Li Shijie,
17 this year, born in October, you can call me Shijie in the future.
Prince, we were also born in the same year, but my sister and I were born in the winter moon, and after that, you will be our Shijie brother.
Brother Shijie. Still Wei Lu is straight, more refreshing, and then opened his mouth to call.
And Wei Xin paused for a moment, and whispered: "Brother Shijie" felt another flutter in his heart.
At this time, the girl Xiaoli came over and called everyone to dinner.
A few people walked into the house and entered the room to start the meal time.
I've seen Xiangguo, Mrs. Xiangguo! The prince said politely.
The prince sits down! The couple at the same time invariably authentic.
No need to be polite, Xiangguo, Mrs. Xiangguo!
Finding a place close to Wei Xin and sitting down, with Wei Xin on the right, the prince in the middle, and Xiang Guo and his wife on the left, he can be down-to-earth, as long as he is with the person he liked as a child, even if he makes any request, he will be willing.
That year, he was only 8 years old, and it was the first time his father took him to Xiangguo's mansion, because he was playing in the back garden, he accidentally fell into the lake, when a little girl of the same age jumped off despite her youth and rescued him. And the little girl had a serious illness because the water was too cold.
This person is Wei Xin, although he was young at the time, he swore to himself at that time that when he grew up, he would marry her, so he had the hug that he couldn't suppress his emotions when he first met.
He kept staring at Wei Xin, and she was embarrassed by him. And Xiangguo and Mrs. Xiangguo on the side also saw the clues, but they liked it with all their hearts.
I like this young man not only because he is the crown prince, Xiangguo is in the court every day, he also heard about the prince's excellence, knows the prince's personality, no matter from which aspect, he is a very good successor today, and he is also a person who is deeply favored by the minister and the emperor. The princes and nobles of any family wanted to escort their daughters or relatives to the palace and marry him. It's just that the prince has always refused to choose a parent, just because he has always been worried about her back then, and the heart in Xiangguo's mansion.
In the past, because he was young, he could refuse as a reason, but now that he has reached the point of talking about marriage, sooner or later his father will have to choose a concubine for him. So he thought about his wish as soon as possible, and then explained everything to his father and came to Xiangguo's mansion.
Of course, the emperor's most trusted person is Xiangguo, if the daughter of Xiangguo can get married in the future, the mother is naturally the best in the world, so he allowed the prince to get along with Weixin.
Xiangguo, Mrs. Xiangguo, my father specially asked me to come, one is to meet your two elders, and the other is to discuss the marriage between Wei Xin and me. The prince was anxious, as if he was afraid that Weixin would be robbed by someone.
Marriage? Wei Xin's head was stunned, and in an instant, her whole person became stupid.
When did she marry the prince? She had never heard her parents mention it. Which one and which one is this? What day is it today? It's all things that make her scratch her head.
Of course, the prince and the emperor understood the meaning of Weichen, but it was just the marriage of this little girl, and she had to ask her what she meant. Although Xiangguo was happy, if it wasn't for the difficulty of Wei Xin and Wei Lu when they were born, he would naturally be the master. But back then, because it was not easy to get, I loved them even more, and whatever I asked for in ordinary times, I would follow their wishes.
Maintain your heart! What do you mean? The prince looked at her who was not speaking, and asked softly.
I...... I don't want to talk about that right now. After Wei Xin said goodbye to the prince politely, he left for his boudoir.
When everyone watched her leave, they knew that the daughter's family should have their own thoughts, so they all went with her.
Prince, why haven't I heard of your marriage contract with my sister? Wei Lu was also puzzled, she also wanted to find out about so many strange things that happened in this day.
The prince told everyone in detail......
It turned out that when Wei Xin saved the prince, Wei Lu was sent to her aunt's house to play, so she naturally didn't know this scene, and Xiang Guo and his wife knew that it was the little girl who saved the prince who fell into the water, but they didn't know that there was such a feeling of gratitude in it. That's why everyone has just been puzzled.
Everyone understands this.
And the third sister Wei Jin on the side spoke. It turned out that the eldest sister and the prince still had such a grudge, no wonder the sister was embarrassed to leave just now.
That's right, does my sister also like the prince? The fourth sister, Wei Li, looked at the third sister and asked, so she didn't care about any etiquette or etiquette, originally everyone was the same age, so there was nothing to avoid.
Wei Jin, the third daughter of Xiangguofu, is tricky by nature, cold-tempered, arrogant and domineering, so she is usually a difficult lord to serve. Her girl's name is Xiaoqing, and she is also a person who is difficult to contact and intersect, but fortunately, the relationship between their sisters is still very good, so they cherish each other.
Wei Li, the youngest daughter of Xiangguofu, is elegant by nature, gentle as water, not good at words, everything is to listen to the opinions of her parents and sisters, and she is also a relatively unassertive person, but she is deeply loved by her sisters, so she is the youngest sister who is most protected by everyone.
Over the years, Xiangguo has given birth to a total of four daughters, all of whom have the appearance of captivating the country and the city, so they are almost at the age of marriage, and there are many people who come to talk about matchmaking. But they were all rejected by Xiangguo and his wife one by one, the reason was only because Xiangguo wanted his daughters to stay by his side for a few more years, and he was reluctant, which was his only excuse.
Tonight seems to be a very long night, Wei Xin is alone in the room, looking at the moonlight outside the window alone, bright and bright, but her heart is surging up in a string, troubles, sorrows, accompanied by a little joy......
