Chapter 11 Leaving Beijing
In the days after her aunt left, Wen Youran did many things: she took her aunt's ashes to the peak of Xuanyou, and scattered them in the air against the morning sun on that windy morning; She went to the bank and exchanged the dowry left by her aunt for silver and gold, she did not expect that she would become rich because of her aunt's bequest; She quietly observed a flower, from budding to gradually withering; She watched as a swarm of ants, struggling to carry their food to the nest.
Wen Youran began to re-examine the meaning of life, she felt that she should go out to see the world outside of Shengjing, but her mother could not resist her determination, and the queen finally agreed to let her go to the east to inspect.
On a sunny morning, Wen leisurely changed into men's clothes and drove the carriage with two servants to the east in the sunshine......
Changquan Palace.
Long Yizheng looked at the queen with a serious expression, and always felt as if something had happened, and after he stepped forward to salute, the queen looked at him carefully, and said with a slight smile: "Zheng'er Nan has lost weight when he comes to the south, and he is more manly." ”
"After returning to my mother, this southern tour is of great significance to my sons, and my sons have gained a lot."
"That's good." The queen hesitated for a moment and looked into Long Yizheng's eyes, "The queen mother has something to discuss with you." ”
"Mother, please speak." Long Yizheng felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason.
The queen hesitated for a while, and sighed deeply: "Liu Yan has a soft spot for you, and Zuo Xiang took the initiative to mention to your father that I have ordered Qin Tian to supervise the two of you, and it is suitable." ”
Long Yizheng was startled, his emotions immediately tensed, the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling, and he said excitedly: "Is this a discussion between the queen mother?" The queen mother knew her son's thoughts, why did she make such an arrangement? ”
"This is what your father means, you can marry Liu Yan and Youran at the same time, but Youran can only be a side concubine, the queen mother has always understood Youran, and the queen mother will place a good house for Youran alone." The queen calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Long Yizheng looked at the queen angrily, and said resolutely: "In this life, the son will only marry Youran!" ”
The queen gently put down the teacup and said seriously: "This matter is not up to you, but if you resist the decree, it will not be you who will suffer!" ”
Long Yizheng's heart seemed to be pierced by a knife, the muscles on his face were pulled for a while, and he said angrily: "Erchen really can't believe that the queen mother would threaten Erchen with leisurely!" ”
"You'd better think about what you're going to do!" The queen looked at Long Yizheng, thought about it and said, "Your father has great expectations for you, and the queen mother has no objection to your affection, but you must always remember that you can't let others discover your shortcomings." ”
Long Yizheng stubbornly said loudly: "Erchen will never give in!" With that, he raised his head and prepared to leave.
"You stand!" The queen finally couldn't help but speak loudly, she stood up and straightened her chest, and said sternly, "The matter is already a foregone conclusion, it is your instinct to vent your emotions by nature, and it is your ability to think about how to deal with it!" ”
Long Yizheng stopped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his fists clenched, his expression more resolute with anger.
The queen looked at Long Yizheng, who was out of control, and said distressedly: "Liu Yan is the concubine, no one can interfere with how you treat her, she is a clever child, she will understand why this is such an arrangement!" ”
Long Yizheng suddenly remembered his teacher's words again, smiled bitterly, and said slowly, word by word: "The world envies this royal throne, and Erchen now knows that standing on this high place is not completely a monopoly on the scenery, Erchen really hopes that he is not a prince!" ”
"No one can choose their birth! You are a smart person, and the queen mother believes that you can handle your own emotional problems! ”
"That queen mother really looks down on her son!" Long Yizheng said, turning around and preparing to leave.
"Why doesn't Zheng'er ask you how you are with leisurely Bazi?" The queen called Long Yizheng again.
Long Yizheng's footsteps stopped, and he smiled coldly: "Erchen doesn't have to know, no matter what Erchen and Youran are, she will always be Erchen's favorite!" Long Yi was striding away with his head up.
The sun shines on Wen Youran's bright face, close her eyes and take a deep breath of this free air, now she is finally no longer indulged in thoughts, the bumps and hardships along the way, she inspected a large number of colleges, it turns out that this world is not the wind and snow and the happy rivers and lakes in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller, I have seen too much human suffering along the way, Wen Youran is very grateful for this trip, I met the good and bad along the way, all things enrich my life, and also let her experience the flavors of life, and know more about what should be cherished in life.
A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old knelt at the corner of the street, her clothes were dirty, her head was sticking a straw, her big eyes looked pitiful, and passers-by felt sympathy for her plight, but no one came forward to help. When the girl saw Wen Youran's carriage, she immediately ran over, and as soon as she stepped forward, she said to Wen Youran pitifully: "This lord, please take me in, as long as there is food to eat." ”
Wen Youran's nose was sour, his phoenix eyes were full of tears, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "It's good for you to be with us." ”
"Thank you." The girl smiled, took off the straw from her head and threw it on the ground, and said, "My name is Shiso, please take care of it in the future." ”
After a few days, Wen Youran realized that Shisu was not as good as a child from a poor family when she first met, although her hands were a little calloused, but almost no housework could be done, and she was very particular, Wen Youran knew that she was a kind and good girl by looking at Shisu's appearance and character, although she still had some doubts about her, but Wen Youran liked to think about the good side of everything, so she didn't care much about it.
