Chapter 13: Confession
The queen thought about it for a while, and finally gave up the decision to marry Wen Youran to Long Yiqin, because she couldn't be sure of what had just happened, the queen really didn't expect Zheng'er to have the idea of getting married now, she was completely unprepared, Zheng'er was persistent, he had a clear goal since he was a child, and the things he identified would not change easily, the queen could be sure that there was a contradiction between him and Wen Youran, she knew her son very well, although Zheng'er was young and vigorous, and acted impulsively, but if he didn't like Wen Youran, It is absolutely impossible to say that because of negative anger.
Long Yiqin strode into Changquan Palace, all the palace people hurriedly saluted in unison, the queen came back to her senses, looked at his striding figure, and her expression couldn't hide the joy of reunion after a long absence.
Long Yiqin stepped forward and said respectfully: "The son and the queen mother will see it." ”
"Come here, let the queen mother take a good look." The queen smiled and stretched out her arms, Long Yiqin smiled, like a child, and immediately stepped forward and half-knelt in front of the queen.
The queen gently patted Long Yiqin's shoulder, looked at him carefully, and after a long time, the queen helped him up and sat beside her, Ziqin immediately stepped forward and brought the pastries prepared by the queen in advance, the queen smiled, took the pastries he liked to eat and said: "Yiqin, you try it, this is your favorite food." ”
Long Yiqin smiled slightly and refused: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to eat now, Erchen has something to discuss with you." ”
The queen then remembered that the children were older, and they were men, and they were not as close as before, so she put down the pastries in her hand in frustration, looked at him seriously and said, "Let's hear it." ”
"Today's sons are in the early dynasty, the last book impeached the criminal department of Shangshu for corruption and dereliction of duty, did not get the support of half of the courtiers, although the sons are the kings of Yu, but only more than two years into the dynasty have not yet figured out the rules of the court, the sons have no weight in their words, please ask the queen mother to marry the sons first."
The queen thought for a moment, and said softly: "Can you also be diligent and have someone you like?" ”
"The sons are busy with court affairs and have no time to meet outsiders, and the queen mother is the master of the marriage affairs." Long Yiqin said, showing a hint of shyness on his face.
"The essence of Yiqin's words is the same as what the queen mother thinks, the queen mother is trying to ask what Yiqin means, which woman do you want to marry?"
"If everything can be smooth sailing in the future, I'm afraid that Erchen will marry the daughter of the imperial historian."
The queen was terrified in her heart, as if everything was destined, and it was impossible to develop as she wished.
Long Yiqin looked at the queen's uneasy expression and asked suspiciously, "Why does the queen mother look like this?" ”
The Empress looked at him carefully and asked cautiously, "What does your father mean?" ”
"The son-in-law was mentioned by his father this time."
The queen was startled, only to feel a coolness permeate her whole body, and after a moment, she took a deep breath and said softly: "If this is also what your father and the emperor meant, then the queen mother will start to prepare." ”
"Erchen, Queen Xie!"
After Long Yiqin left, the queen's body couldn't help but tremble, she paced back and forth uneasily, Ben Yiqin should marry Wen Youran, but Zheng'er seemed to have affection for Wen Youran, all of this, once misplaced, it was not just two marriages, but directly destroyed the balance of power between her two sons......
More than 20 years ago, Yiqin's biological father Long Haotian sought to usurp the throne and wash the palace in blood, as if it was as clear as yesterday in the queen's mind, the queen didn't understand why the emperor arranged it like this, is it just because of self-confidence and family affection? She began to panic and her children were all grown up......
Guozijian.
Long Yizheng hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage and took the opportunity to pass by, took Wen Youran's hand, and put the note into her palm.
Wen Youran was very surprised, and there was a panic in his heart, and after Long Yizheng walked away, he found a place where there was no one, and gently unfolded the crumpled note, and the handwriting on the dark yellow rice paper was like floating clouds, like a frightened dragon, and it was written: When it is time, the West Palace Covered Bridge.
Wen was startled, her heart was beating so fast, and for a moment, she tried to calm herself down and tore the note to shreds.
The sun is setting, the afterglow of the setting sun spreads all over the sky, the red sunset slowly disappears, the sky gradually darkens, Wen leisurely looked out of the window, she was absent-minded for a long time throughout the afternoon, and finally decided not to go to the appointment, reason told her that she couldn't be alone with Long Yizheng, but when she thought of where Long Yizheng might wait for her, she felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably......
When night fell, Long Yizheng was waiting at the head of the bridge with great anticipation, he was dressed in white Shengxue, the drape of the clothes was excellent, the waist was tied with a wide belt of beige auspicious cloud patterns, and the black hair was naturally scattered on the shoulders, the whole person was extraordinary, he looked at the huge palace group, and his eyes were fixed on the direction where Wen Youran would come.
For a long time, Long Yizheng waited a little boring, reached out and took out a pair of bracelets from his cuffs, this bracelet is delicate and warm, the color is ruddy, the beads the size of mung beans are wound in three circles, each one is the best southern red agate, his slender fingers gently touched those warm beads, the corners of his lips smiled slightly, and he imagined Wen Youran wearing it in his heart, happy look......
Long Yizheng waited long enough, and finally knew that Wen Youran would not come, he took a deep breath, his heart was extremely lost, about the time had passed, he stretched out his hand, put the bracelet under the bridge, hesitated for a moment, his slender fingers opened easily, "Bang--", the bracelet fell into the river, he looked up, and strode away.
Approaching the end of school, Liu Yan stepped forward and saluted Long Yumo: "Today is my birthday, and my father has prepared a banquet for me in the house, hoping that the princess will enjoy the light." ”
Long Yumo looked at Liu Yan carefully, smiled slightly, and refused: "This princess has something important today. ”
"Oh--" Liu Yan was not surprised at all, she turned around and hugged Wen Youran's arm, and said to Long Yumo: "Then the princess let Sister Youran go!" ”
"You want to go or not, whatever she wants." After Long Yumo replied to her, he turned to leave.
Wen smiled leisurely and excused himself: "I'm not going, I didn't know that today was your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday." ”
"Sister Youran, let's go!" Liu Yan said, couldn't help but say, and pulled Wen into his carriage leisurely.
