Three days later, Wei Bi returned from her hometown province, and the female official in the palace could be released from the palace after the age of twenty-four to return to her home to marry, Wei Bi had already passed this age, but she had no intention of getting married, and she was also talented and talented, so she stayed in the palace and continued to be a maid in the palace. Yu Zijin has always admired Wei Bi's talent and learning, and Yuhe promoted her to be the female official in charge of Fengzao Palace in the second year, acting as the Fengyin and the official residence. Wei Bi also relied on her talent to gradually show her brilliance, and took care of the affairs in the palace in an orderly manner, greatly relieved the worries of the embers, and gradually gained the reputation of a lady in the inner court.

Yu Zijin exempted Wei Bi from the courtesy, and looked at her as if she was not looking good, "This palace granted you a two-month vacation, why did you go back in these days?" But what happened? ”

Wei Bi's face was sad, and after a deep thought, he knelt down and bowed again, "The minister has something I want to ask my mother to help, and I hope that my mother will be successful." ”

"What's the matter, get up and talk back." Yu Zijin hurriedly helped her up.

Wei Bi nodded and explained the reason.

She went home to visit her parents, but her father said that she was not young, although she was favored by the queen and promoted to a first-class female official, and earned boundless glory for the whole family, but in the end, she was a daughter, and she was always going to marry, so she tried her best to find a marriage for her. According to the example, a first-class female official who has achieved her title can marry someone with a title, but she has reached this age, and almost all men of the same age and are in the right household have already married wives and had children, and it is impossible for her to go to other people's steprooms, how difficult is it to find one? Besides, she doesn't want to get married, so she just lets her parents toss, and it's still unknown whether she can find it? Why did she bother to be so worried, she only took the opportunity to walk the cat and play the dog at home to live a comfortable life.

But what Wei Bi didn't expect was that her father had really found it, and this candidate didn't say anything else, even Wei Bi had to reluctantly admit that he was really a first-class candidate.

"Dugu Jian?" This person chose Yu Zijin really didn't expect it.

Wei Bi nodded, her aunt and Dugu Jian's mother, Dugu Yan's wife's wife are sisters of the same clan, Dugu Jian went to the northern border since the Changhe years, and has not returned home for almost seven years, and the marriage has been repeatedly shelved so far, so anxious that Mrs. Dugu turned around, and got a letter from her son a year ago saying that she would return home this year to visit the second elder, and immediately began to explore the ladies of each family without saying a word. Thinking that Wei Bi and Dugu Jian were of the same age, her aunt recommended her out as soon as possible, and now even the Jade King has heard about it, and promised General Dugu and others to be a matchmaker for the two of them when they return!

Wei Bi hurriedly rushed back to Xianyang when she heard Xin'er, if it was just her aunt and Mrs. Dugu who wanted to pull the strings, she still had room to refuse, but if the Jade King was fueling the flames at this time, she couldn't say a "no". She was Yu Haojie's confidant when she was the queen, although she and Dugu Jian had only met a few times, but she still knew some things, why did he stay on the battlefield and not enter the house all these years, she just thought about it to understand, why bother to destroy other people's uncomplaining and unrepentant perseverance? Besides, she has no intention of Dugu Jian, and she also has a wisp of thought that she wants to protect.

Yu Zijin almost forgot about Dugu Jian, Dugu Jian has stayed in the north all these years, and he has not gotten married, even though his sister has his own happiness, he has not let go. Father and General Dugu is a good friend, when the children were still young, he had planned to marry one day, Dugu Jian failed to marry his sister, his father later wanted to point out a sister of the right age to him, but he has been shirking in the field, his father was helpless, so he later pointed out the fourth sister to Dugu Jun, which was also relieved of General Dugu's heart.

She thought for a while, and said to Wei Bi: "You are relieved, this palace will repair a letter and let people send it to Ningxiang Wangfu to his father, Dugu Jian returns this time, Mrs. Dugu is bound to force him to get married, so she should not only see a lady, you don't want to, let them go to others to match." ”

"Thank you, Niang!" Wei Bi was grateful and happy to thank him.

At this time, the chamberlain came to report to the lord of Chengning County, Yu Zijun, who asked to see her, and Yu Zijin remembered that the fourth sister was going to return to Pulin with Dugu Jun in a few days, and she specially asked her to come to the palace to say goodbye to her, and quickly ordered her to come in.

Although the biological mother is not favored by Yuce, it does not prevent her from being popular among the brothers and sisters because of her pleasing temperament, and Yu Zijin is of course no exception to this half-sister, thinking that she will leave soon, and she is reluctant to say: "Can you set a departure date?" It is bitter cold in purlin, and if you need anything, you will bring it with you, and if you lack something, you will send a letter in time, whether it is to your mother or Mrs. Dugu, let them prepare someone to send it to you early. ”

Yu Ziwei squinted her eyes and grinned, "Second sister, the Dugu family is about to have a happy event, and my husband said that we can leave later, and I can stay with my mother for a few more days." ”

"Doing a happy event?" Yu Zijin and Wei Bi looked at each other, and asked with some uncertainty: "What kind of happy event?" ”

Yu Ziwei glanced at this unknown female official, and saw that she had an extraordinary appearance and dignified eyebrows, and asked with some expectation: "Dare to ask if this is the commander of the guard?" ”

Wei Bi's heart had already risen to his throat, and he said worriedly: "It's Weichen, the county lord, Weichen is so polite." ”

"Don't, don't," Yu Zi helped her slightly, "You are a dignified female official, how can I accept your courtesy?" Besides, we'll be a family soon, and I'm going to call you sister-in-law! ”

Wei Bi's face turned pale, and then he took a step back, and Yu Ziwei noticed something unusual, and said, "Wei Zhangling, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Zijin lightly supported Wei Bi's shoulders, she is a female official in the palace, Dugu Jian is a heavy general, even if his father wants to be a matchmaker, he has to ask the will of the palace to come true, and now as long as the decree has not been announced, everything is still in time.

Wei Bi wiped the cold sweat on her head, she has always been steady, but this time she was so confused that she even forgot about this.

Yu Ziwei didn't understand a little, the eldest brother has been at the border for all these years, and he has become a little darker and thinner, but he is also handsome and extraordinary, and the conditions are not so bad, why is this Wei Zhangling still disgusted? She was a little upset for Dugu Jian and said: "Although I don't have much contact with the eldest brother, and I know that he is a little wooden, but the husband said that the eldest brother is very good, and you can rest assured that Wei Zhangling!" Besides, the decree was already issued this morning, don't you know, second sister? ”

"Decreed?" Yu Zijin stood up in surprise, "Who awarded it?" The Emperor? ”

Yu Ziwei began to cry and laugh a little, "Second sister, don't you forget too many things, the will issued to the General's Mansion this morning is your will, it is really covered with a phoenix seal, I saw it with my own eyes, do you disagree, does anyone dare to forge it?" ”

"But my father didn't tell me about it!"

"My father and father-in-law asked the emperor the day before yesterday, and the emperor said that you grew up with your eldest brother, and Wei Zhangling is your female official in charge of the order, and this marriage should be decided by you, so he ordered someone to report it to you." Yu Ziwei was a little confused by the second monk, why did the second sister seem to be completely unaware of this?

Xian'er also heard that something was wrong, and whispered to Yu Zijin in time: "You were disturbed by Ning Guiren's affairs the day before yesterday, and specially ordered that the recent affairs, no matter how big or small, should be handled by the general manager, and Feng Ling"

And Feng Ling couldn't be left alone because Wei Bi went home to save his relatives, so he was temporarily handed over to Lian Ember for safekeeping.

Wei Bi thought about what happened in one step earlier, her expression was as calm as ever, but there was no consistent confidence in her eyes, and she smiled a little defeatedly.

The deep palace is treacherous, she can go from a low-level female official to a first-class internal appearance, this journey is not smooth, but she has overwhelmed those who suppressed her and calculated her with outstanding talent and came to this day in a dignified manner, she can become a clean outlier in this pickled palace, she has always been proud of it, and conceited.

The rout never appeared on her face.

I didn't expect it to be a complete defeat now.

Yu Zijin knew that Wei Bi had her own pride, this kind of intelligent, decisive, and incomparable woman saw many things more clearly than ordinary people, and the rest of her life alone was nothing to her, and it was really painful for her to live with someone she didn't love just to find a home.

Dugu Jian grew up with her, and Wei Bi has dedicated herself to her for many years, just these two friendships, why not take this will back for them?

Wei Bi shook her head, she respectfully made a big gift to Yu Zijin, "Thank you for the marriage!" ”

Yu Zijin didn't expect things to turn around so quickly, and was about to persuade him, but Wei Bi laughed miserably and said, "Since he has arranged a home for me, I just accept it!" ”

He?

Yu Zijin thought about it for a long time before he realized in surprise who he really was.

The drizzle is like silk and mist, gradually wetting the stone road, and the royal garden is full of plants and trees, and the flowers are strong. Wei Bi looked numb and dragged the silver-red gold thread embroidered pine crane female official robe aimlessly, the drizzle slightly wet her black hair, I don't know if it was rain or tears running down the corners of her eyes and collecting on her cheeks, and finally falling to the ground crystallly. It was as if her bones had been sucked away, moving like a marionette.

She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally stopped, the hem of her clothes was already stained with a lot of mud, and she paused outside the wall of a small courtyard.

Cunxue Pavilion looked up with a wry smile, only to remember that this was not the Forbidden City in Shangjing, it was the Imperial City of Xianyang Ziyao, and the place where he lived now was called Xianghun Courtyard, a place where blood-colored plum blossoms bloomed.

He seems to be very fond of plum blossoms, and he has planted a lot of them in the Snow Pavilion.

She had just entered the palace that year, and she was upright by nature and not good at quenching, and because she was full of poetry and books, she was squeezed out by her peers, and she was sadly hiding in a corner where no one was crying.

It was a cold and snowy night in spring, the plum shadow on the other side of the wall was sparse, the dark fragrance flowed out, and someone laughed: "What's the use of crying, tears are a woman's weapon against men in the harem, and it's not enough to deal with women." ”

She sniffed, she didn't know who she had offended, she only felt that the person's voice was extraordinarily good, and there was a kind of supreme majesty, she thought that the one who lived alone in this small courtyard must be the deposed prince and prince, so she boldly asked: "Then how should I deal with them?" ”

"What do you have?"

"I've got brains!" She was stubborn, maybe her brain was not the best, but she thought she was much better than those women, and she would exclude and calculate others because of her own jealousy.

The man said funny, "Then you still ask me?" ”

Twelve years, since that snowy night, she has looked up to him for twelve years

Wei Bi stroked the gray wall, closed her eyes and sniffed deeply, trying to find the dark fragrance of that night, but there were no plum blossoms blooming at this time.

She is a flower in the wrong season, and her unacceptable love is destined to wither in a lonely corner.

One last glance at the elegant embroidery building, she knew that he must have been there at this time, she would never be the one who accompanied him, she came late, and she didn't know it.

The scarlet rain opened a window, and the people in the rain gradually drifted away, gradually turning into a little silver red in the green of the elm poplar.

"Aren't you going to see her?"

Lian Shen was holding a book and reading, his eyebrows focused on the slightest movement, "Who are you looking at?" ”

Scarlet Rain closed the window and sat back in front of the embroidery stand to continue embroidering her embroidery, Ember's attention was still on the book, as if it didn't matter if Scarlet Rain didn't answer her question.
