Chapter 64: A Night of Empty Watch
After a night of calm, An Ronghua experienced ups and downs, as if returning to the original starting point. originally thought that the identity of the Queen Mother and King Jin was the biggest gap between the two, but it was unexpectedly that Gu Nu's eighteen-year-old and Xia Huaijin's thirty-seven-year-old could also become an insurmountable gap.
Xia Huaijin looked at the code lamp sent by An Ronghua in the room for a long time.
The lamp is painted with a pig to be slaughtered, and a crossed-out "囍" character. It was that night that Xia Huaijin waited until it was dark to find that the light was lit in the study, which was actually the message An Ronghua left for him before leaving.
"What if this king can't understand it?" Xia Huaijin asked herself, "She is so resourceful, even if she doesn't have this king, she can do things." ”
But Xia Huaijin is just worried about Gu Nu's wisdom and intelligence, if she has been acting arrogantly and recklessly, how many years can he protect her.
Therefore, Xia Huaijin thinks that what Gu Nu needs is a man of the same age, who has similar feelings, and who can love her, protect her, and accompany her for a lifetime, rather than an old man who may leave her alone at any time at his age.
An Ronghua was silent for a few days because of Xia Huaijin's refusal, and today he doubted himself.
"Could it be that I'm not attractive?" An Ronghua denied himself, "How is it possible, Zhu Qi is fascinated by me!"
"Then why doesn't he want me?" An Ronghua was distracted and paranoid, "I don't dislike him for being old, he actually looks down on me for being young, since that's the case, forget it, cut it in two, each has its own way, I don't believe that all men in the world are the best for you Xia Huaijin!"
Xia Huaijin and Qin Ke went to attend the 100-day banquet of the eldest princess Jinsun. Xia Bingliang stayed in the house and endured a lot of doubts before he had to explain it to An Ronghua.
"Valley girl, valley girl!" Xia Bingliang knocked on the door and called.
An Ronghua opened the door with a loveless look.
"Xiao Liang'er, don't you have to go to the academy today?
"Closed today. Xia Bingliang asked, "What's wrong with you these days? But you quarreled with your father?"
Xia Bingliang didn't mention Xia Huaijin, but he could still make An Ronghua's attitude calm, and his question made her mood surge.
"That's right, I have decided to break with your father, from now on, he will live his life, and I will marry my person, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
An Ronghua was majestic and boasted of Haikou: "I decided to empathize and say goodbye!"
Xia Bingliang was inexplicable, he thought that Xia Huaijin ignored Gu Nu before, but later he went to Zhufu to rob his relatives, thinking that the relationship between the two would eventually settle, but he didn't expect the ending to be so turbulent.
"That's fine, my father and you are very different. Xia Bingliang was unexpectedly emotionally stable.
"What do you mean, you look down on me?" An Ronghua was simply angry.
"Father is definitely not a person who advocates status, hates the poor and loves the rich, and covets beauty. In fact, my father has been very stable these years, and it is very proper to have Concubine Qin's mother to take care of everything, and Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei are also thinking about their father, and the palace has always been stable. But you are not, you are happy by nature, your mind is jumping, you act excitedly, when you arrive at the palace, you don't have a day of peace, you can't cause monstrous waves at every turn, and your father is not a young man of one or twenty years old, how can he withstand your torture. Xia Bingliang analyzed carefully and carefully.
An Ronghua cast a resentful look at Xia Bingliang, and said with disgust: "You are the Qin mother concubine who helped you." ”
"I'm just telling you the truth. Xia Bingliang was not weak-hearted, "Besides, you are a person in the palace, without the permission of the Queen Mother's aunt, what right do you have to be the master of yourself and whom?
An Ronghua, as a valley girl, really never considered Xia Huaijin's difficult situation, she only knew that she loved Xia Huaijin as before. Yes, her age has regressed, but Xia Huaijin's life is still moving forward.
"So, Xiao Liang'er, do you support me to empathize and don't fall in love?" An Ronghua looked like he was seriously asking for advice.
"You haven't always understood this kind of thing, I don't understand, but from Mother Qin, I can see that she has been treating her father for ten years, as for you, if your feelings for your father are not firm enough, it will be enough to retreat as soon as possible. ”
An Ronghua couldn't believe that his feelings for Xia Huaijin were not as good as Qin Ke?
An Ronghua learned that Xia Huaijin and Qin Ke would stay in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for a long time, and said that it was easy to empathize and not fall in love, and if you really want to let go of a person you love, Xia Huaijin has used it for more than 20 years, how can An Ronghua go with the flow after eliminating all difficulties.
An Ronghua instructed the dining room to prepare dinner, she dressed up carefully, regained her vitality, and quietly went to the Misremembering House to wait. Just to surprise Xia Huaijin and let him know that it was not so easy to let himself give up on him.
Xia Huaijin returned but it was already dark, and Qin Ke was bombarded by the crime of childlessness again in the eldest princess's mansion, and year after year, she was immersed in secret pain.
was at the fork in the road, Xia Huaijin was going back to his hometown. Qin Ke used the excuse of sewing new clothes for him and invited him back to her yard.
Qin Ke didn't lie, she took out the half-sewn clothes and put them on Xia Huaijin, there were thousands of voices in her heart, but there was always only virtue in her mouth.
"The prince's physique hasn't changed over the years. ”
"The princess doesn't have to work for this king. Xia Huaijin understands Qin Ke's hard work.
"The concubine is as willing as a child, as long as it is for the prince's business, the concubine is willing to do it, even if it is for the life of the concubine, not to mention that it is just a piece of clothing, what the concubine can do now, but that's it. Qin Ke struggled in his heart
"It is this king who has been neglecting you all along, and you have treated this king's heart, and this king understands. ”
Qin Ke finally let go of her princess's dignified and virtuous manners, and hugged Xia Huaijin from behind.
"Lord, the concubine knows that she is not worthy, but the concubine only asks the prince, thinking that the concubine is sincere to the prince, and gives the concubine a child to relieve the pain in the concubine's body and mind!"
Qin Ke's words were very sad and poignant, as a princess, she did nothing blameless in any aspect, and the only thing she was criticized for being childless.
Xia Huaijin has no intention of having children with her for many years, and even has very little love between husband and wife, Qin Ke believes that she is not infertile, as long as Xia Huaijin is willing to give it, she can wash away her shame.
Xia Huaijin has a lot of thoughts, he has no intention of raising children again, but now he promised the Queen Mother to get rid of his obsession and face life, maybe this is part of it. Qin Ke's hard work for so many years deserves this.
An Ronghua waited for the hour without remembering the house, the candle burned and the person was sleepy, so she fell asleep on the table.
Until the sound of someone pushing the door woke An Ronghua, she woke up and saw that the sky was already dark, and the person who came was Yuhe.
"Why are you, didn't the prince go back to the house last night?"
"The prince and the princess went back to the house last night, but the prince stayed at the princess's last night. Yuhe took Xia Huaijin's court clothes and left.
An Ronghua stood in place, like a stone carving, even his eyes were dilated, and his heart was empty, it turned out that this room was so empty and lonely.
An Ronghua packed everything and left the house, as if he had never been here, and returned to his guest room.
Xia Huaijin has always had his own life, and he is no longer the boy who only played the piano for Rong'er back then. It is not only the former Xia Huaijin who can't get out of the past, but also the current An Ronghua herself, she suddenly understands that it may be time to re-examine her relationship with Xia Huaijin after all.
The eldest princess was only jokingly said at the banquet that she wanted to take a concubine for Xia Huaijin and spread the branches. Unexpectedly, early in the morning, she really ordered someone to lead a group of beauties to the palace, which made Qin Ke at a loss.
Although Qin Ke didn't think that Xia Huaijin would be greedy for beauty, this matter was about the kindness of the eldest princess.
Qin Ke didn't have the courage to refute the eldest princess's face, and couldn't decide whether to stay or stay in this group of beauties, so he only settled them for a while.
Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei also rushed to find out when they learned about this. They didn't dare to offend the face of the eldest princess, but they wanted to throw this hot potato to the valley girl.
Aunt Feng had a heart and pulled Aunt Wei to find the valley girl.
"She's not a fool, she won't dare to compete with the eldest princess just by listening to you and me. Aunt Wei said calmly.
"How do you know if you don't try!"
An Ronghua received the two aunts, and she didn't care that there was a group of uninvited guests in the house today.
"It's strange that you two have found me today, do you want to tell me about your relatives again?" An Ronghua stared at Aunt Wei meaningfully.
"No one wants to tell you about your marriage, but someone wants to give the prince a concubine!" Aunt Feng had an exaggerated expression.
"Oh, take a concubine for the prince, why did you come to inform me?" An Ronghua was uncharacteristically cold.
"I thought you could be the sole owner of the prince's favor for a longer time, if the prince took a concubine, it would be nothing for you!" Aunt Feng said.
"So you came to me so that I could stop this from happening, so that a few more concubines would not share your favor?" An Ronghua saw through it.
An Ronghua never believed that Xia Huaijin would take another concubine, but he still lived up to Aunt Feng's trust and decided to go and get involved.
The beauties were placed in a guest house by Qin Ke, An Ronghua really went, and Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei also followed and prepared to watch a good show.
"Are you the beauty sent by the eldest princess?" An Ronghua entered the room with a calm face.
An Ronghua asked the beauties to stand in a row and look at them one by one.
"This eldest princess, she is still getting older, and her vision of seeing people is becoming more and more difficult, but if she is just a concubine, these qualifications are almost the same. An Ronghua looked at it seriously.
Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei couldn't believe that Gu Nu could be so bold and arrogant.
"Gu Nu is really fearless, if her words reach the ears of the eldest princess, will she not only offend?"
"Let's see what she's trying to do. ”
"This one is very beautiful, maybe the prince will like it, this one looks strong, maybe it can help the prince give birth to a big fat boy......"
An Ronghua's performance became more and more unbelievable to the two aunts, their original intention was to let Gu Nu take advantage of her arrogant and domineering characteristics to drive the beauty away, but she didn't expect her to pick and choose, think about it, and even leave it for Xia Huaijin.
An Ronghua's words made Xia Huaijin, who returned from the next dynasty, hear it clearly.
"Whether this king wants to take a concubine or not, you don't need to make decisions for this king. ”
An Ronghua heard the sound and looked back, Xia Huaijin and Qin Ke were both standing outside the door.
