Kyoto....

The second day of the banquet in the palace was supposed to be the day when Shen Yishu and Tian Hongyu, the son of the protector and the leader, got married.

Unexpectedly, when I went to greet my relatives in the morning, I was blocked by the Shen family. The explanation given by the Shen family said that on the night of the palace banquet, Shen Yishu was frightened and had a high fever, and the world doctor said that he had a very contagious serious illness, and the marriage could only be postponed.

As soon as the Tian family heard that it was a contagious serious illness, they turned their faces on the spot, saying that the marriage had to be canceled, as if they were afraid that Shen Yishu's serious illness would bring bad luck to the Tian family. Not only did he not want all the dowry, but he also promised to give the Shen family a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

The only requirement is to hope that the Shen family can agree to cancel the marriage, otherwise this matter will be caused by the emperor, and the two families will lose face and be unhappy.

Although the incident happened suddenly, the attitude of the Tian family still seriously affected the relationship between the two families, and in the end, the Shen family not only returned the dowry, but also did not ask the Tian family for a penny, and the relationship between the two families reached an impasse because of this matter.

The matter of Shen Tian's two families spread in Kyoto, and for a time it spread all over the streets and alleys.

In the Shen Mansion, Shen Yishu leaned on the bed with a pale face, and did not have any contagious serious illness as the legend said. But the blood marks on the wrist are still clearly visible, although they are well bandaged, but there are clear blood marks on it.

On the night he came back from the palace banquet, Shen Yishu directly told his father and mother about refusing to marry Tian Hongyu, but the next day was a big day, how could it be regarded as child's play?

Withdrawing from the marriage at this time will only put the Shen family in the guidance and criticism of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Shen Dehou's refusal was forced by Shen Yishu to die, and he cut his wrist on the spot, indicating that he would rather die than marry into the Tian family.

Although I don't know why Shen Yishu is so resolute, Shen Dehou loves his daughter, so he has no choice but to rely on Shen Yishu, and he also made up the statement that Shen Yishu has a contagious serious illness.

Even if it is a stalemate with the Tian family because of this, Shen Dehou is not worried, but Shen Yishu is not married at this age, and it is rumored that he is seriously ill, and it is inevitable that he will choose a good son-in-law in the future.

At this time, Shen Yishu's mother sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Yishu's listless face, and the scars on her wrists were still very clear, and Shen's mother's tears couldn't help but flow down.

Compared with Shen's mother, Shen Dehou's face was more solemn, and he kept pacing in front of Shen Yishu's bed.

stopped suddenly, and asked Shen Yishu in a cold voice: "Yishu, Tian Hongyu, you can not marry, your father depends on you, but now that you are in such a situation, my father wants to hear what you plan to do next?" ”

Shen Yishu's mind was a mess at this time, and at this time, his eyes were vacant and he looked at one side in a daze, hearing Shen Dehou's questioning, Shen's mother couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her daughter's appearance, and said softly: "Master, Yishu's body hasn't recovered well now, what can't you say until her daughter's health is better?" ”

"Wait, the habitual son is like a killer, Yishu is not small, can our old bones follow her for a lifetime?"

Shen Dehou was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and when he heard his wife's words at this time, he couldn't help but blame.

"Father, mother, give me some time, my daughter will find a good family for herself, and she will never be ashamed of the Shen family."

But at this time, Shen Yishu suddenly spoke, and the firmness in his tone was questionable.

"Good daughter, don't listen to your father, take a good rest, as long as you don't want to, your mother will never let you suffer any grievances because of this!"

Shen Yishu's words were once again distressed by Shen's mother, and she comforted her softly, and after gently stroking Shen Yishu's arm, she got up and said to Shen Dehou: "My daughter has said so, are you satisfied?" Let's go out quickly, let our daughter have a good rest, let's go! ”

After speaking, Shen Dehou was pushed out of Shen Yishu's boudoir, and Shen's mother also left.

It wasn't until the room was quiet again that a layer of mist quickly condensed in Shen Yishu's eyes, and finally turned into tears, dripping hotly.

Why do you make people miserable? Why did God treat her true feelings like this?

Shen Yishu closed his eyes tiredly and let tears soak his cheeks.

"Miss, Miss Ye of the Princess's Mansion outside the door asked to see her, saying that she was here to visit Miss!"

The careful voice of the handmaid sounded outside the door.

Ye Wanruo?

These three words made Shen Yishu's tightly closed eyes widen suddenly, and he roared fiercely: "No, Miss Ben doesn't see anyone, get out of me... Get lost! ”

Jingyuan? Ye Wanruo? Jingyuan is Ye Wanruo?

Shen Yishu will never forget the words she heard in the rockery, which represented endless humiliation to her, which made Shen Yishu resentful.

In the confused feelings for Jingyuan, she regarded Ye Wanruo as a life-saving straw, and she was pretentious and sincere to Ye Wanruo, but she didn't expect that the moment she faced the truth, she actually had a feeling of wanting to run away.

Since you are ruthless, Ye Wanruo, don't blame me Shen Yishu will be inseparable from you in the future, and he will not die.

At the gate of the Shen Mansion, Ye Wanruo was sitting in the carriage of the princess's mansion, and when she heard the news that Shen Yishu was seriously ill, Ye Wanruo ordered Yingxiang to prepare gifts to visit.

After all, Shen Yishu is not only a close friend to her, but also the only person she feels guilty about in her heart.

At this time, the subordinates of the Shen Mansion had already gone to Tongyu, but after a while, a maid walked out of the mansion quickly, walked to Ye Wanruo's carriage, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to Miss Ye, our young lady was sent to the countryside overnight last night because of a serious illness, and she is not in the mansion for the time being, I am afraid that Miss Ye will run away empty, and I will invite Miss Ye Haihan." ”

"It's okay, then I'll wait for your young lady to return home, and I'll come again!"

Ye Wanruo sat in the carriage and replied slowly.

Until the carriage returned on the way home, for some reason, Ye Wanruo always felt that something was wrong with this matter, but she couldn't say anything specifically. It's just that the strong inner uneasiness tells her that things are not so simple.

※※※

That night, since Mu Han lost her child, she was not abandoned by Emperor Nanqin, but because of what happened to her, she was more fond of her in every way.

Although he was still in the miscarriage period and could not sleep, he could often hear in the palace about the deeds of the Southern Qin Emperor who favored the concubine, and it was a blessing in disguise to say that the concubine was also a blessing in disguise.

There are even more people in the court who are suspicious, this concubine's child is so deeply loved before she is born, if there is another baby boy, I am afraid that there are still objections to the position of the prince.

Compared with Concubine Hui's grand favor, Emperor Southern Qin ignored Mo Yiyan, who seemed to have entered a cold palace, and had a tendency to leave him to fend for himself.

This move of Emperor Nanqin will inevitably arouse suspicion, and Mo Yiyan's post-abolition ceremony is only a matter of time.

And the crown prince Sheng did not mention the matter of the grounding of his mother's concubine, nor did he slump because of this, but was a little more refined than before, on the one hand, he solved the problems of the Southern Qin Emperor for the affairs of the court; On the other hand, because the birthday of the Southern Qin Emperor was approaching, Prince Sheng took the initiative to take on the important task of organizing a birthday banquet for the Southern Qin Emperor.

I heard that according to the custom, the envoys of various countries will also come to Beijing, and on this special day, they will offer birthday gifts, and they want to repair a hundred years with the Southern Qin Emperor.

For a while, Kyoto was also becoming jubilant for the birthday of Emperor Nanqin, even if it was just some ordinary people, they wanted to take this opportunity to touch the royal joy.

And since the palace banquet refused to marry Yu Chi Jingyao, the two have not met again, even if Yu Chi Jingyao went to visit the princess's mansion, he was shirked for various reasons.

Ye Wanruo stayed in the Listening Rain Pavilion every day, not going out of the gate, not stepping out of the second gate, as if returning to the leisurely and comfortable life when she first arrived in the Southern Qin Kingdom.

Although Ye Wanruo did not show too frustration, in addition to basking in the sun every day and doing yoga, she spent more time alone in a daze.

But this performance was seen in the eyes of Qiu Qiu and Yingxiang, and they already saw this expression as Ye Wanruo's concern for Yu Chi Jingyao.

Even if Prince Sheng appointed Yu Chi Jingyao to be the task of welcoming and placing foreign envoys this time, Yu Chi Jingyao would still go to the princess's mansion to visit Ye Wanruo, even if he couldn't see him, as if he could only feel at ease if he went.

One day, Yu Chi Jingyao was once again politely rejected outside the gate of the princess's mansion, and when he was about to leave, he heard a respectful voice from behind him: "Slave and maid to meet the holy prince!" ”

Hearing Yingxiang's voice, Yu Chi Jingyao was overjoyed for a while, thinking that Ye Wanruo had changed her mind and planned to see him, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Yingxiang appearing at the door of the princess's mansion with a beautiful gift box in her hand.

"Is this....?"

Seeing this scene, Wei Chi Jingyao asked hesitantly.

"Back to the words of the Holy Prince, if the slave and maid secretly came to see the Holy Lord today, there is something I want to explain to the Holy Prince. Before the prince held the ceremony, my young lady had already instructed the slave maid to find someone to carefully make a pair of cups, and even the words on it were mentioned by the young lady herself. But I didn't expect that it was just one night, and the young lady changed her mind and suddenly broke the pair of cups.

The slave maid saw that the cup was good-looking, and was not willing to throw it away, but pieced it together little by little, although the cracks in the cup were still there, but the calligraphy and paintings on it could be seen clearly.

Lord Wang, although the slave maid doesn't know why the young lady changed her mind, our young lady does care about the prince. During this time, our young lady didn't seem to be abnormal, but those of us who were subordinates could see that the young lady was not happy.

The slave knows that she has no ability to share the worries of the young lady, and she also knows that she has no position to say anything? But the slave maid really hopes that the young lady can be happy. The slave and maid braved the guilt of disrespect to see the prince today, just hoping that the prince would not misunderstand my young lady! ”

Listening to Yingxiang's words, Yu Chi Jingyao opened the gift box in Yingxiang's hand, and there were two cups inside, although the cracks were clear, but the patterns on them could also be seen.

A water cup is dark moon and stars, and the man holds a flute, and the flute sound is tactful and leisurely. On the other water glass, a woman is dancing, with green mountains and green water and bamboo forests as the scenery, and the eyebrows are tender and charming, and if you look closely, she looks a little similar to Ye Wanruo.

The pattern is clearly Ye Wanruo's vision and expectation for the future life, a man and a woman represent the two of them, living in seclusion in the mountains, not asking about the world, why is this not his yearning?

Ye Wanruo once asked him in his ears: Do you know the meaning of the cup?

At that time, Wei Chi Jingyao was concentrating on peeling grapes for her, and when she heard Ye Wanruo's brainless question, she looked over with a blank face.

Who knew that Ye Wanruo had a clear look, smiled and explained softly: "Wanruo only says it once, you have to listen carefully!" A cup, a lifetime, do you understand? ”

Yu Chi Jingyao shook his head, but he seemed to remember something in his mind, and quickly nodded again.

Unexpectedly, Ye Wanruo's mysterious gift turned out to be a promise in this life, and such a discovery made Wei Chi Jingyao's dull mood for many days finally released, and a look of hope appeared in his eyes.
