In the spacious and bright study, I sat with my eyes closed on the wooden bed, without cultivation, just in a daze, without any thoughts in my head, emptying everything.

It wasn't until there was a noise outside, and the trend intensified, that I opened my eyes, put on a plush cloak to keep out the cold, and when I opened the door, I saw many pairs of bright eyes staring at me.

Just now, an edict came from the palace, and it was written on the imperial list that it was announced that Changting Yinpu would be named Prince Qiming, and that he would propose to the young lady in the name of the future king, which alarmed the government and the opposition, and the capital was in chaos!"

Yehe was in a hurry, constantly conveying the seriousness of the matter, for so many years, because the position of the crown prince was always empty, more than 20 princes fought day and night, but they didn't want to be hastily decided today, the princes couldn't accept it, the ministers couldn't accept it, the people couldn't accept it, at this time the palace was already in chaos, all kinds of invitations and loyalty continued to pour into the palace, like a huge vortex, and everyone was swept in.

Not to mention that Changting Yinpu wants to marry the young lady of the General's Mansion, Junying's sister, with the future marshal as the backing, who can resist above the government and the opposition? If this matter really happens, then the "Prince Qiming" will properly become the next emperor.

"General!"

I glanced at the anxious feathered fox girls and walked silently.

In the face of my firm steps, they unconsciously gave way to a way, and some were incredulous to see that I was indifferent to such news.

"Why worry, it's a good thing, the girl's family is always going to get married, isn't it?"

There were indifferent words in his ears, Yehe's heart trembled, and the chic back sleeves flew, gradually leaving under everyone's gaze, as if he had already known about it, and there was no dissatisfaction, his mood was as plain as water, nothing could disturb him, and he saw through the parting of the world.

It's just a general, are you really willing to do it?

......

"Concubine, can I come in?"

"Hmm. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, only to hear a faint answer, slightly cold, no longer obedient. I marveled at the nobility and indifference, maybe she was used to it in her previous life, she always had the arrogance of God in her bones, after all, she was in the past, except for heaven and earth, nothing was qualified to enter the eyes.

"Squeak. ”

As the door closed, I glanced at Shishi who bowed her head behind her, the windows in the room were tightly closed, the sunlight was helplessly blocked outside, no one could get in, there was no light, and the atmosphere was extremely dull. I set my eyes on Concubine Sun and Moon, sat down beside her, and reached out to hold her hand as usual.

It's just that as soon as he touched her, he was pulled away by her and avoided. I looked at her jade hand close at hand, and after all, I didn't have the courage to stretch it again.

When Concubine Sun and Moon heard that low sigh, her heart trembled, her hands clenched, her palms were dripping with sweat, and she was relieved for a long time. Heavy fatigue welled up in her heart, she pursed her lips, suppressed all the words she wanted to say in her throat, just wanted to wait for my comfort, and coaxed her as usual dotingly, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see words, and her heart was cold for half a year. She unnaturally turned her head away.

I saw her turn her face, her body moved slightly, as if she wanted to move away from me, there was a slight pain in my heart, it hurt until my fingertips, my hand was on the edge of her hair for a long time, but it stopped in mid-air, did not fall and stroked, hesitated for a long time, and withdrew gloomily.

"You should already know that Changting Yinpu proposed to you, he is also one of my close friends, he has been observing for a long time, except for some honesty, there is no slightest vice, and his status is noble, as a future king, worthy of you. ”

“...... You have promised me that when the capital is finished, you and I will go away, settle in Yaoshan, teach, play and sing, and stay together for a lifetime, I don't have to worry about you, you don't have to fight for me, no matter what is right and wrong in this world, from now on you are at ease, don't you...... Already forgot?"

In her hopeful words, it seemed that a beautiful picture scroll was slowly spread out in front of me, and I was indifferent, and my mind turned into a sword, cutting open the thin paper covered outside, revealing the cruel truth inside.

In the simple thatched hut, passers-by can see everything indoors, the ridge is dirty and cold, mosquitoes are infested, and her face is bitten and bleeding, and the unclean environment makes her sick, but she still laughs and comforts me who is standing by the bedside and crying incompetently.

My face turned pale, and I clenched my fists violently, trying my best to break free from this illusion, sweating profusely behind my back, and when I looked at her sad face again, I just wanted to leave her ruthlessly.

"I made this promise without much thought and haphazardly. I took a deep breath and said as slowly as I could, "Forget about it, I can't let you leave the bustling capital and go to the remote mountains to live that bleak life." ”

"Concubines are not afraid. ”

"But I'm afraid. I looked at her slightly open mouth and said seriously: "I am a selfish person, greedy for glory and wealth, fond of chasing fame and fortune, fighting on the battlefield for so many years, born and dead, calculating in every way, and now I finally have everything, but you want me to live that kind of poor life." Concubine, think about it for your brother, stay in the capital, I can't live without these, I'm just a mortal, no matter how high I am, I will have desires, and I want to enjoy being high. ”

"You're not that kind of person!"

"I am!"

"You're not!"

I didn't refute again, just watched her quietly, watched her burst into tears, watched her burst into tears, watched her look desperate, and then hysterically slapped my hand on my chest, and with a single touch, the force was as light as a stroke.

"Why don't you refute it? Why don't you continue? I don't allow you to be quiet, my brother is not such a person, no one knows him better than I do, you are not allowed to ...... Don't insult him like that...... Woohoo......"

I hugged her crying silently into my arms, but she pushed away with all her might, and she fell to the ground, I wanted to lift her up, but I was also slapped off my hand, the force was so great, if I didn't try my best to unload, this time, I would break her bones, afraid that she would hurt herself, I didn't even dare to touch her, only dared to sit in front of her, and saw her wash her tears with her sleeves, coughing constantly, and finally felt distressed, and even comforted.

"If you don't want to marry, don't marry, I will guard you for the rest of your life in the capital, but don't mention the matter of Yaoshan Grass House, why should we suffer that kind of suffering?

The sun and moon concubine should not, I was so anxious around her that I didn't know how to calm her down, but after a while, she seemed to be tired of crying, and gradually stopped making trouble, but her face was as cold as frost, which shocked my heart, and that appearance was as steady and calm as the noble sun and moon in the past, and she was no longer peaceful and close to people.

In the face of such a face, my heart palpitated, but she didn't speak, I didn't know how to speak, this is her life's event, I have no right to decide, only put all the choices in her hands, she can do whatever she wants.

Time passed little by little, the dim white light on the window gradually changed color, the pale red of the setting sun loomed, I lit the lamp, illuminated the dim room, and continued to accompany her.

During this period, Shishi came twice, bringing lunch and dinner respectively, so that she could eat a little, I did not dare to squeak on the side, for fear of annoying her, until the dead of night, I stood up gently, pushed the door and was about to leave.

"Brother.......

"Huh?" I was overjoyed, and turned back to her, the first time she had spoken since that conversation in the morning, "Say it, brother, listen." ”

"I'll marry. ”

My smile stiffened on my face, feeling a little incredible, and I asked again, "What did ......you say?" Who are you going to marry?"

"Naturally, I am married to Changting Ginpo, your friend. Concubine Sun and Moon was expressionless, but her voice was a little cold, a little angry, and a little mocking: "I'm as you wish, am I happy?"

I closed my mouth and looked at her closely, trying to see if what she said was true or false.

"You can choose not to marry, no one can force you, not even the emperor. ”

Concubine Sun Moon lowered her head and said, "I want to marry myself." ”

There was a deathly silence in the dark boudoir, and the rustling of the leaves outside was clearly audible, and I could only hear my own heartbeat, which was so noisy that I felt the urge to scream out and break the silence.

"You...... Have you figured it out?"

Concubine Sun and Moon nodded: "I think about it." ”

"Well, I'll answer the palace's request tomorrow, you...... Take care. ”

At this moment I was a little incoherent, and there seemed to be a lot of separation between the two, and the uneasiness drove me out of here, like a whisper of the devil, lingering in my ears, making me shake my head and retreat, and finally flee in a hurry.

The wedding was scheduled for a month later, and then for a whole month, I don't know how I spent that time, my brother and sister had never eaten at the same table, we hadn't met, every day I was confused, my heart was always suddenly irritable, and I had to pretend to smile in front of people, very tired.

All kinds of relatives and friends came up to visit and congratulate, among which Lu Ji and Yu Qianpan came the most. All kinds of people in the capital who don't know each other, who are famous and who don't know the stream, all want to come to my mansion, either to inquire about intelligence, or to be obscure, and there are very few true feelings, and after being annoyed, I simply handed them all over to Yehe to take care of, and nested in the study all day long, guarding the books left by the old gentleman Qi to read, but often unconsciously wandered.

And the government and the opposition are surging, and the princes who manage their forces vigorously on weekdays are unwilling to condescend to the eighteen princes who are the most wasteful, so their antipathy is growing day by day, Changting Lingyun has already expected it, but he didn't expect it to be so tricky, and some methods have made him busy several times.

Although these princes are young and can't see the real future of Shiyan, they are powerful and cannot be underestimated when united.

I was summoned into the palace overnight, and after discussing with the emperor overnight, I came forward and used thunderous means to suppress all the troubled princes, with the strength of the realm of heaven and man, their heavily guarded mansion was just a child's trick for me, such as entering a no-man's land, in just one day, I beheaded three princes who kept admonishing, everyone was terrified and speechless, and understood that the emperor was sincere this time, and the "Prince of Qiming" was already a sure thing, and those boiling hot waters subsided instantly.

After all, no matter how resigned you are, it's not as important as being alive, is it?
