Chapter 314: If You Will, You Will Never Fulfill Your Oath
Entering December, the longevity festival is close at hand, and because the three princes turned danger into a disaster, the recovery is as usual, the Jin family plotted to disappear invisibly, did not move, the sacred heart is carefree, Jinyang Jingzhong is even more joyful, in full swing.
After the three princes recovered, they went back to the prince's mansion to recuperate, but the beautiful scenery was still left in the palace.
It was the eldest princess who personally entered the palace to dignitaries, and the queen mother also shirked several times, only saying that the longevity festival was coming, so it was better to wait for the Daqing to pass, and then let Yijing return home.
There are only ten days left until the Birthday Festival.
Kyoto's squares are already lined with lanterns and banners, and large flower platforms are displayed along the road, and congratulatory gifts from officials from all over the country have also arrived in Beijing one after another.
In the nine-fold palace, it is naturally prosperous and colorful, and the lanterns and flags under the painting building are decorated with the romantic brightness of this midwinter wax moon like spring flowers.
The queen mother often has to prepare for the longevity festival with the queen, Guanglu, and Honglu temple officials, and the town is busy with affairs, and there are not many opportunities to see the beautiful scenery, and because the "patient" of the third prince has returned to the house, she is really leisurely these days.
But he still lives in the Cihe Palace.
Of course, leisurely is only on the surface, although the Queen Mother did not talk to her about "marriage", but Yijing also understands that things have changed after all, everything is floating on the surface of calm, and there are already waves underneath.
On this day, she took a walk in the back garden, and saw the reflection of the plum trees on both sides in the shallow canal water, and suddenly saw a slender figure reflected in the soothing water lines.
The sound of a heartbeat was suffocating, instantaneous and hurried and bright.
But his back stiffened, not daring to look back.
"Beautiful view."
It was very similar to the sound of the water, and she called softly, but it made her suddenly moisten the corners of her eyes, only staring at the dark shadow in the water, and gradually distinguishing the slight rise of her robe.
Finally, he turned around and faced him.
He stood under a plum tree, a little snow falling on his shoulders, and a pair of inky eyes reflected the pale skylight, as clear as ever.
When the eyes met, the corners of the two lips curled slightly at the same time, only one of them, which was quite heavy and difficult.
"Brother Feng." She shouted in a low voice, but the soles of her boots seemed to be frozen in ice and snow, and she couldn't get close.
It was he who moved his footsteps lightly, and in the stone blue, the dark lines on the purple brocade stretched like water.
In her eyes, she was wearing a heavy brocade cloak, but it was difficult to hide her thin shoulders and waist.
The green silk has been pulled into a bun, the pearls in the hair are shining, and the eyebrows are becoming more and more graceful, but the chin is slightly pointed, and there is a slight haggard in the eyelids.
He frowned unbearably, but after all, it made her worry.
"Fortunately, I said I would return safely." He said that he couldn't help but want to hold his hand, but she slowly avoided it.
The outstretched fingertips only touched the chill leaking from the branches.
In her heart, at this time, she was very happy, because he returned safely, and a catastrophe finally became invisible, but because of her, maybe he would face a storm again, and his throat was uncomfortable, and he had to care about the reunion he was looking forward to day and night.
"Beautiful?" Of course, Yu Feng felt her hesitation, and she couldn't help but worry.
"I'm glad I'm fine." Finally, she couldn't help it, she raised the corners of her lips lightly, and when she saw that the snow on his shoulders was still there, she reached out and gently brushed it off.
The familiar, fresh breath that belongs to him dyed all over her pair of black eyelashes.
Somewhere in my heart, I trembled terribly.
But he tried his best to calm his tone: "When will Brother Feng return?" ”
"Yesterday, today I entered the palace to face the saint, and the saint is discussing in the political hall, planning to ask the queen mother for peace first, and I don't want the queen mother to be in deliberations, such as my aunt asked me to come to the back garden to wait, I didn't expect the fifth sister to be there." He lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the faint magnolia fragrance that she was near and far away, and his pupils became more and more like ink, and in the deep places, there was a hint of loneliness.
He had just returned, unaware that things had gone wrong with her again.
In Yijing's heart, he sighed secretly.
"Niangniang is busy with the longevity celebration these days, and I am afraid that I will not be available for a while." After all, it's still hard to say, things haven't come to that point, after all, it's still, with a hint of luck.
He has just returned, and the Holy One should not mention it immediately, and the Queen Mother's mind is not yet known at this time, even if the Third Prince has already petitioned, the Holy One should still be hesitating.
It's not time to give up.
Thousands of words, but at this time, they didn't know where to start, and the two were silent for a while.
He thought of the white magnolia hairpin, and his fingers were about to touch the placket.
For example, the aunt led Zhan Gonggong to come, it turned out that the saint had already returned to Qianming Palace, and when she heard that the prince asked to see her, she immediately sent someone to invite her.
"I'll go first, if the fifth sister sees the Queen Mother, please convey a good message on my behalf." Yu Feng finally didn't have time to give away the gift, he thought that he was in a hurry today, and she was worried again, and it seemed that the opportunity was not suitable.
She bowed her head, still in place, and saw him turn around, and when she reached the arch moon gate, her footsteps seemed to stop, and she turned to look.
Through the brilliant plum shadow, she was dressed in brocade like snow, her eyes were scarlet, and she still looked at him.
As if he was a little relieved, Yu Feng smiled lightly and finally left.
The conversation between the monarch and the minister, of course, is inseparable from the two places of Bingzhou and Xiangzhou, the Son of Heaven is very cordial, and Yu Feng sits on one side of the circle chair, when Yu Feng will merge the state and Xiangzhou experience in detail, then the Son of Heaven will talk about the punishment prepared by the Jin family and Shi De and others, and have an attitude towards King Kang, King Yangquan County, Yuan Qi, etc.
Yu Feng's mind gradually dispersed, he guessed what the situation would be when he reunited with Yijing, she would be angry, complaining that he had concealed the danger, of course, it would not last, he should pay attention to what he had experienced in Xiangzhou, whether he suffered from the cold, whether he was treated harshly by Yuan Qi, or he would talk about the affairs of Kyoto, and the interesting things with her and the ceremony, in short, it was not like this, he was worried, he wanted to talk and stopped, as if the storm had not passed.
Or maybe something happened during this time that he didn't expect.
The fingers on his knees gradually clenched.
"Yuanyang?" The Son of Heaven suddenly called out in a desperate voice.
Yu Feng was slightly stunned, and then said with a light smile: "It was the responsibility of the courtiers, and I didn't dare to ask for credit." ”
It turned out that the Son of Heaven sighed just now, saying that Yu Feng was the first to make up for the military disaster this time, but because of the involvement of Yuan Qi and others, and the "edict" of Gaozu, although it was fabricated by Jin Rebellion, it could not be publicized in the end, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives to make trouble, so the truth of the rebellion had to be covered in general.
"Having said that, if it weren't for your alertness, early planning, and willingness to go to danger to persuade Yuan Qi to rein in the precipice, this civil strife would have been inevitable." The Son of Heaven affirmed again, and seemed to be planning how to reward.
Yu Feng got up suddenly, straightened his robe, flicked his robe slightly, and knelt on his knees: "The subordinates don't dare to take credit, but there is one thing, I beg the holy ......."
"Far away!" The Son of Heaven interrupted Yu Feng's words, and there was a slight condensation between his eyebrows.
The request for marriage was not available before it could be exported, and Yu Feng's heart sank.
"Your reward is indispensable, and I will weigh it." The Son of Heaven stepped down from the dragon throne, leaned over to help this cousin, looked at it carefully, and finally sighed slightly: "You have been traveling between the two places and suffered a lot, so I promise you ten days off and a good rest at home." ”
became more and more suspicious in his heart, but Yu Feng finally gave a salute and received his kindness, and left with all his heart.
The four rides of red sandalwood stopped at the corner gate of the palace, but the gray crossing did not wait for the curtain to be lifted, and couldn't help but wonder, and stepped forward and knocked on the window: "Shizi, I have arrived at the palace." ”
Only then did he see Yu Feng frowning slightly and getting out of the carriage, about to cross the threshold, but turned around and went to the Guard's Mansion.
Gray Du is happy in his heart, and the prince of the secret road must be going to see Wu Niang, no, he should be called the county lord now.
sent two personal soldiers to wait outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and then went to Guan Sui Yuan, only to enter the door, but saw a gray "rabbit" rushing out of the corridor, almost hitting his soft armor.
Qingkong panted, grabbed the leather system on the shoulder of the gray ferry, and opened his mouth to say: "What about the son?" ”
Gray Du was full of black cold, wrinkled his nose, took the collar of Clear Sky, threw him out a few steps first, straightened his leather armor, and opened his mouth under Clear Sky's extremely urgent gaze.
"I won't tell you."
The clear sky was full of black lines, and he pulled it up again: "It's not good, now is not the time to play tricks with you." ”
Ignoring the disgusted look of Ash Du, his two lips flew up and down, and he carefully said what he had inquired about in the house today: "The Erlang in the house is drunk every day, like a mess of mud, and it is said that he was beaten by the general with a leather whip, the old princess was so worried that the house was full of rumors, saying that Wu Niang saved the three princes first, and the three princes blocked the arrow for Wu Niang, and almost did not die, Yu Wu Niang can have the grace of saving his life, and the bottom is discussing, this time, the saint is afraid that he will give marriage and let Wu Niang be the third princess!" ”
The first bunch of Lala in front of him was confused, and only the last sentence made his eyes round in shock.
And in the Yuanying Hall on the other side, Yu Feng finally understood the reasons for today's many strange reasons.
The eldest princess put aside the idleness, and briefly talked about what had happened in the past few days, seeing that Yu Feng was silent, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't help sighing: "Originally, it was a matter of eighty percent...... The Queen Mother also informed the King of Chu, but she didn't want such a change...... The saint has already moved, in the end, he pities San Lang, and the Queen Mother is also very embarrassed, she only feels that on the one hand, she is ashamed of you, and on the other hand, she feels sorry for San Lang ......"
Yu Feng was only thinking about whether there was a change in his mind after stopping talking about today's beautiful scene...... If after all, it was just to compensate, and this time she owed the third prince for saving her life, she finally felt that she was in a dilemma.
A line of pain spreads, slowly spreading throughout the chest.
"Feng'er, I know that you are also sincere to Jing Yatou, but if he insists...... You...... As a courtier, if you are stubborn, you will inevitably be complained and jealous by the saint. "The eldest princess finally felt embarrassed, as an elder, although she was led by Yijing's lifelong happiness, she didn't want to watch Yu Feng and the Son of Heaven have a gap because of this.
Compared with the three princes, the eldest princess certainly thinks that Yu Feng is more suitable, but because the three princes sacrificed themselves to save each other this time, she is also a little soft-hearted, and naturally believes that the three princes are indeed sincere to Yijing, and the queen mother and the saint are also hesitating and hesitating, and they are more and more worried about this marriage.
At the moment, it depends on what these juniors are thinking.
"Feng is a courtier, although he doesn't dare to go against the holy will...... Yu Feng clenched his palms, and after a while, he continued: "But I don't want to give up, as long as the fifth sister still has the will, Feng will never fail to live up to the oath of marriage that day, and will do his best." ”
Although she is the aunt of the Son of Heaven, she has always been respected by the Saint, and I believe that the Son of Heaven will not ignore the wishes of both parties and insist on going his own way, but the Son of Heaven is a parent after all, and he can't help but focus on it in his selfish heart, and the third prince is very insistent on Yijing......
If in the future, because of the beautiful scenery, Yu Feng will be separated from the heavenly family......
After a long time, the eldest princess sighed: "The matter of marriage, after all, it depends on the holy will, but I know that Feng'er has this plan, of course I will do my best for you, but there are priorities, you have always been serious, this time you must remember not to be impulsive, especially in front of the saint, but you can't say those irreversible words because of a moment of negative anger." ”
Yu Feng got up and promised: "Grandmother's teachings, keep them in mind." ”
For him, the danger is not insurmountable, only her heart.
Yijing, I hope you can choose as you like, without half a reluctance, no matter what, as long as it is your decision......
Outside Yuanying Hall, Yu Feng suddenly stopped and looked not far away, a piece of green bamboo, in the red wall, shook off the silver white.
