Thirty-seven, incorporated into the harem
Zhu Yuanzhang's decision will undoubtedly make Chu Liuyan depressed, Chu Liuyan threw his sleeves and left, Xu Da hurriedly left, saying that he persuaded her to go.
As soon as the two left, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious: &; What a bastard! Who the hell is the emperor! It's true! &>
Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has not been very happy, and no one has come. When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang like this, she put a lot of thought into it, and soon brought a bowl of lotus seed soup to see Zhu Yuanzhang in person.
&;Your Majesty, why don't you go to the court all day long and be bored in the palace, it's okay to go out and have a look. &>
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma coming, he just got up: &; Alas, you are still the best for me. &>
&;Your Majesty, what are you talking about, you and I have come over with great winds and waves, and there is nothing I can't think of. Your Majesty, what do you think of what the concubine said to you about the draft girl last time? &>
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: &; Forget it, even if there are many beautiful women, how can they be compared with Chu Liuyan. &>
Queen Ma was shocked to realize that Zhu Yuanzhang had thoughts about Chu Liuyan.
&;Your Majesty, if it is peaceful today, the disaster is also under control, and the people are all happy with the emperor, it is the time for the emperor to elect a concubine. The concubine is foolish, this matter is handled by the concubine herself, select some fresh palace maids to enter the palace, test their character and morality, and try to let the emperor choose more women who are outstanding in all aspects, what does the emperor want? &>
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it again, he nodded: "Then it will be too much trouble for you." &>
&;Sharing worries for the emperor is the duty of the concubines, why should the emperor be like this. &>
&;Alas, I am busy with state affairs but I have forgotten the relationship between husband and wife, and it seems that I have lost you. &>
&;The emperor has every opportunity, and the concubines have only had a time with the emperor, which is enough. Besides, the emperor is surrounded by young and beautiful women, and the concubines are now old and yellow, and they have long had foresight, how can they compete for favor with those young concubines. &>
&;It's best to be my queen, I decided to go to you tonight and not leave. &>
&;The emperor cannot. &>
&; That's it! &>
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed at Queen Ma's place for three nights very abnormally, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
On this day, Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang discussed things in the palace and talked very fiercely.
&;I think Chu Liuyan should be included in the later offering. Zhu Yuanzhang swore and said.
&;Your Majesty, Chu Liuyan, this woman is a rare opportunity for eternity, but it is not suitable for the emperor. Although this woman is excellent, she is extremely difficult to control, unruly, and scheming. The emperor's concubines still think that the prince is currently very good, and if you recruit him into the palace, I am afraid of criticism. &>
&;I'm the Son of Heaven, can't I control a little woman? Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy.
Since the emperor wants her to enter the palace, the concubines will no longer stop her. After speaking, Queen Ma no longer stopped it.
Soon the notice arrived at Chu Liuyan's Mansion, and a little eunuch was waiting for Chu Liuyan's return in Chu Mansion.
Chu Liuyan had just come back from Xu Da, and when he heard that someone was looking for him in the palace, he hurried over.
&; The slave has seen the prince of Chu, and the prince is blessed. &; The little eunuch is quite sensible.
What are you looking for me? Chu Liuyan asked.
&;It's the emperor looking for you, how dare the villain dare to find the prince. &; The little eunuch is still slippery.
&;The mouth is quite able to say, what's your name? &; Chu Liuyan had a good impression of him.
The small one is named Changshun. &>
Well, yes, I'll let you serve me when I have the chance. Chu Liuyan was just joking, how did he know that Changshun knelt down on the spot: &; Thank you for the prince's love, I think this day is not far away, and I hope that the prince will love him when the time comes. &>
&;What!? Chu Liuyan heard that the little waiter's tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
&;The emperor ordered to keep the name of the prince, and to be crowned as a concubine, and enter the palace on the same day. &>
&; What! &;Chu Liuyan was furious:&;Whose idea was this? &>
&;Back to the prince, I don't know if it's small. Changshun hurriedly interceded for himself, then again, who would take this matter on himself. The inner servants are all people who have no status, and the one in front of him is the emperor himself named the Ming prince, the military advisor of the Yingtian Army with real power, and the concubine or queen who may be the lord of the harem in the future, no matter which one is pressed on his head, crushing himself is no different from crushing an ant.
Okay, I don't embarrass you, you go back, but tell Zhu Yuanzhang, I'd rather die than marry! &;After speaking, he turned around and left, obviously displeased.
Changshun also hurriedly retreated, for fear that Chu Liuyan would turn into a hexagram and kill himself.
When Changshun returned to the palace, he said that he had seen Chu Liuyan today, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: &; What! He dares to disrespect the will?! &>
Changshun just lay on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
&;Hmph! &;Zhu Yuanzhang directly issued a decree and asked Changshun to take it:&;Changshun, you take my handwritten letter to pass Chu Liuyan, let him enter the palace on the same day, and he must not violate it! &>
Soon Changshun came to Chu Liuyan again, but this time he was not in the same good mood as before, and he was anxious all the way, for fear of offending Chu Liuyan and killing him directly.
When Chu Liuyan saw Changshun, he was not as good at talking as before, so he didn't say hello and asked directly: &; What did Zhu Yuanzhang ask you to do here? &>
Back to the prince, the emperor personally issued an edict to recruit the prince into the palace as a mother, the villain did not dare to disobey, and asked the mother to be gracious. &;After saying a strong kowtow.
&; Damn! Chu Liuyan was a little angry: &; Did he really say that? &>
&;The emperor did say so, the edict is here, and the prince can read it. &;After that, he presented the things.
Chu Liuyan can be called Zhu Yuanzhang or him, Changshun doesn't dare, it's just that Chu Liuyan, who is called by the emperor one by one, is angry, and if he doesn't call himself, he will take the way to kill himself, and he is in a dilemma.
&;Okay, get up, and go back and tell the emperor that I'm not feeling well. &; After that, he sent him back.
Changshun reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang this time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a long time, and always felt unhappy: Why is this Chu Liuyan unwilling to enter the palace? If it is peaceful today, she doesn't have to march to fight, and the flower season has passed, so she shouldn't shirk. I had a very good relationship with Chu Liuyan before, and she has always been loyal to me, and now that I have made him a concubine, she has no reason to shirk and refuse, unless
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the side of Changshun: &; Changshun, do you know? &>
&;The villain doesn't know! &;Changshun hurriedly kowtowed. Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to talk about Xu Da, and it spread in the army and the palace, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang Chu couldn't be smoked, all because she and Xu Da had made up their minds privately.
&;This matter must be Xu Da's obstruction, he really thought that no one could help him. Although he has a monstrous military power, this person is fierce and will not do anything unsubordinate. That being the case, Wang Song, who was beside Hu Weiyong, stopped halfway through his speech.
&;Say! Try to say, I forgive you not guilty. &;Zhu Yuanzhang is a love of beauty.
&; Since this is the case, the minister said bluntly. &;Wang Song stroked his handful of beard, and said with a smile: &;Does the emperor know who Xie Cui'e is? &>
&;Oops, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I didn't expect it, ** beautiful thing, this is the favorite thing for the monarch in the world. &;With a wave of his hand:&;Xuan Xie Cui'e came to see. &>
Changshun hurriedly went to find it.
Soon the woman was proclaimed into the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the woman and said: &; Well, she looks good, it's good. &>
Xie Cui'e knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was choosing a concubine recently, but she didn't expect to see herself alone, could she have such a blessing to enter the palace? After thinking about it, he didn't show much joy when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Fortunately, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, she actually has more people in her heart who want to marry, so she doesn't feel aggrieved.
&;Xie Cui'e, I have been in charge of the harem by Queen Ma recently, do you know? &>
Xie Cui'e was taken aback, was it really her turn?
Without waiting for her to answer, Zhu Yuanzhang said: &; I am happy to be married to all the women, and I also want to be happy with the world. I have a fierce general, for my battlefield to fight a great contribution, I see that her age is getting older but no wife, I really can't bear it, want to marry her, what do you think? &>
It's obvious that this is actually telling her that I want to marry you to others, do you agree? And then because Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, there is still half a sentence that is not said in the back, that is, if you agree, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree.
Xie Cui'e had to thank the emperor: Thank you for the emperor's love. &>
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: &;Well, don't be depressed first, the person I married is extraordinary, and ordinary women can't compare with it at all. This marriage, pay attention to the right person, you are not worthy of him at the moment. So I decided to accept you as a sister-in-law and named you Princess Dayuan, are you willing? &>
Xie Cui'e heard that there was such a good thing? This is really pie in the sky, I can't ask for it, and I bow to thank you on the spot.
In fact, she has other thoughts in her heart, Zhu Yuanzhang said, then there is only one person who is suitable for this, and that is Xu Da. She has always liked Xu Da, but she has never been satisfied, but now with the support of the emperor and the princess, she finally has some capital. Royal marriage, Xu Da will definitely not be able to shirk it, her dream is about to come true: &; Chu Liuyan, I still won you after all. She said to herself secretly.
&;Hahahaha, Chu Liuyan, I think you can be hard for a long time? What I Zhu Yuanzhang can't get, can he Xu Da think about it? Delusion! Sooner or later, I will welcome you through the door, and you can enter this palace, and you can enter if you don't enter! Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud and laughed heartily.
Soon the news that Xie Cui'e was crowned princess spread, and Zhu Yuanzhang's newly adopted sister turned out to be a lame person. But the world is big, the emperor is the biggest, and the things that the emperor Lao Tzu decided cannot be changed. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely poor and rich, desperately saying good things for Xie Cui'e and doing great things, which suddenly became a sensation in the whole country.
Chu Liuyan felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's move must have ulterior intentions, but he couldn't speak. Zhu Yuanzhang confiscated Xie Cui'e and even accepted her as his sister, and he didn't send anyone to him to say that he wanted to enter the palace, which is too abnormal.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang soon announced that he wanted to find a wishful husband for his sister.
Chu Liuyan can conclude that this is Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, which is intended for Xu Da.
Within half a day, if this was the case, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the marriage of Wei Guogong and Princess Dayuan.
At this time, Xie Cui'e, who was the princess of Dayuan, was very happy, but in a small uninhabited garden, Chu Liuyan was looking at Xu Da affectionately with the eyes that a woman should have, motionless.
Chu Liuyan didn't know how long she hadn't behaved like this, but today, she couldn't hide her feelings anymore.
&;Brother Xu~&;Chu Liuyan's Xu Da's bones were almost crispy, but Xu Da still didn't move, but turned his back and only turned his back to her.
&; Why? Why do you keep refusing to speak up? &>
Why aren't you? &;Xu Da seemed to be more than ten years old at this moment, and the heroic posture on the battlefield no longer appeared, leaving only Chu Liuyan's old and lonely back, which gradually faded away.
&;Nope! &;Chu Liuyan pounced like crazy, and hugged Xu Da from behind: &;No~ Don't, I don't want you to marry someone else, I don't want it. &;Chu Liuyan only found out how much she loved Xu Da at this moment, maybe she didn't understand this feeling, but now, she broke out, she completely understands that love is not necessarily vigorous, sometimes, he is by your side, you can see him every day, and being with him may be true love. However, it seems that all this is understood too late, Chu Liuyan, who has always been calculating, completely miscalculated his feelings, and it seems that this defeat will never be reversed.
Xu Da was also trembling, just now he seemed to have exhausted all his strength to take that step, it was that step, almost exhausted all his strength, compared to the battlefield fight, obviously that step just now made him more frightened. He was afraid, he was afraid that Chu Liuyan would come up to live with him, because in that case, he was afraid that he would never have the courage to leave her again.
Love is enough for another person to be crazy, Xu Da knows his feelings for Chu Liuyan, but Chu Liuyan and himself have always respected each other for many years, the two seem to be used to each other, under the premise that Chu Liuyan did not first break the window, he did not either, perhaps, this is the tacit understanding cultivated between the two.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, has now broken the balance between the two.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da a marriage, and Xu Da never expected it. Especially when the object turned out to be Xie Cui'e, it was even more unimaginable for him. But now that she is really a princess, the world has issued an edict, and things have reached the point of no return.
If Xu Da was still the Xu Da of the year, maybe he would be ten or five years younger, he would definitely take Chu Liuyan with him desperately, what glory and wealth, what fame and fortune, all of them were like a cloud of smoke. At that time, Xu Da might have wandered the world for a woman, the world, the common people, and the emperor, all of which could be abandoned, but now, he can't do it.
Xu Da knew that he couldn't do it, because that would make him bear the name of disloyalty and disloyalty to the emperor. That would also give him the name of unfilial piety, because he would kill his family. That would even make him bear the name of inhumanity, because the princess would lose face. It would also make him bear the name of unrighteousness, because he had abandoned everyone and gone away.
Xu Da didn't dare to go, even if it wasn't for himself, there were other people.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Da is in a dilemma.
But now, the little strength he had finally mustered up the courage to gather was all wiped out in Chu Liuyan's embrace, and his heart was broken.
&; Smoke. &; He softly called the name he wanted most.
&;Don't go, I don't want you to go, I'm afraid that once you leave, you'll never look back. Chu Liuyan was like a child at this time, weak and helpless.
&;Alas, let's go, we can't help them in this matter. &;Happy pulled a smile and retreated, originally they were going to persuade the two.
The plot continued in the garden, Chu Liuyan and Xu Da had been holding like this for a quarter of an hour, Xu Da still turned around and pushed her away: &; Liuyan, I can't, I really can't. &>
&;You've finally called me Smoke, and it's the second time today, and you've never called me that before. &>
&;I&;I always thought I treated you as a sister, but I Xu Da was also sad and speechless.
If there is an afterlife, will you love me? &>
&;Yes, without hesitation
Under the setting sun, the two figures looked affectionate from afar, but they never hugged each other again
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to exert pressure, he said that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the items needed for the wedding could be prepared in only two days, and two days later it happened to be an auspicious day for the zodiac, so that Xu Dasu would marry Xie Cui'e.
In the next two days, Xu Da never showed up again, but Chu Liuyan had been quietly in this small garden in a daze.
Soon came the time of Xu Da's wedding, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's encouragement, this marriage was huge, and all officials above the sixth grade, no matter what position, had to come, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
That night, still in that small garden, Chu Liuyan's tears dried up, and he could only look at the bright moon in the distance.
&;Smiled happily and looked at Chu Liuyan, and was also sad: &;You say, will I become the next Sister Chu? &>
&; You? Who knows? &>
&;You're really a piece of wood. &>
&;Yes&;Actually, I also think Sister Chu and Brother Xu are really a pity, if it were me, I would take you away. &>
The happy atrium suddenly trembled violently, and her face was flushed, and she whispered: &; So you gave up your life to save me that day? &>
&; Sort of. &;Xiaoxiao has always reserved a lot of feelings for herself.
It's a pity that I was happy and stopped, and left silently.
Happy has always hoped that she can return to the 21st century, but she is afraid, she is afraid that she will fall in love with someone, so that she can give up her homesickness and refuse to go back. Love is just love after all, and I feel happy that she never belongs here, no matter how beautiful things are here, she still has to go back. If she falls in love with someone now, it is equivalent to losing the heart to go back, and there is no motivation, then she may really never have a chance to go back!
