Chapter 153: Jun Comes to Promise

"Don't worry, Niangniang, Your Highness is not here, it's in the western suburbs. We're going to walk through this boardwalk, and when we get to the end of this road, we're looking...... Look, the lanterns on the pier are so beautiful tonight! Niangniang, you see, such a piece of red is not as good as tonight during the festival! During the festival, the lanterns that Lord Yin asked people to hang have been used for several years, and the colors are not as gorgeous as this new one. ”

How could Rong Yunxi have the heart to look at this lantern? He just anxiously asked, "Is it just to follow this road?" ”

"Yes, yes, let's just follow this road. Mother, don't worry, people must be fine. "The boatman can't stand it anymore. I think this was originally a good thing, why did His Royal Highness King Chen scare Niangniang so much?

Seeing that Niangniang was so anxious for His Royal Highness, he, an outsider, looked at it and felt that he couldn't bear it.

Rong Yunxi nodded perfunctorily, how could she not be in a hurry?

Seeing that the old man's footsteps were not fast, when he arrived at the walking path by the river, it was like a walk. Thinking that maybe the old man was tired of walking, or he didn't realize the seriousness of this matter, he felt that the lanterns were beautiful tonight, and he was busy admiring the lanterns.

Therefore, he said: "Uncle, your legs are inconvenient when you are old, so you still walk slowly." I'll go ahead and have a look. ”

"Hey, yes, good ......," said the old man.

Next, it was time for His Royal Highness King Chen and the princess to be alone, and he had to walk more slowly. When His Royal Highness and Niangniang got on the boat, he would have time to go over and sail the boat.

People who come out to shop at night see lanterns lit up by the Huaishui again, and they all feel that it is not a year or a festival, why are the lanterns lit up again? Therefore, they all walked here in twos and threes to join in the fun.

The government will hang lanterns on the New Year's Day, so the people saw it today, but they just felt a little strange, and they didn't think there was anything particularly unusual. There is no rush to this side, it is just a free walk, and there is no chaos.

In the crowd, a man wearing a cyan brocade robe stood out.

The man is long and strong, and his appearance is extremely handsome, especially the outstanding bearing of walking with his hands down, and there is a kind of majesty that is not angry and self-threatening, which is daunting.

The man's face was extremely calm, but there was a thick sadness between the good-looking eyebrows. At first glance, he felt that he was in great sorrow.

Xi'er, today is your seventeenth birthday. As I said, on your seventeenth birthday, I will go to the house to ask for a kiss. But now, this pro can't be begged, and the only thing I can do is to come and see you......

Xi'er, I haven't forgotten my promise to you, whether you remember it or not, I will promise it in my way.

Even if the way this promise is made is so helpless, it is just to come and see you. But here I am.

Ignorance...... Would you like to see me?

A while ago, I received a letter from my mother. The mother said that the love between King Chen and Princess Chen has been rumored to be a good story in Kyoto City, and her father is also happy.

He didn't think that Xi'er could really forget everything between them, and he didn't think that Xi'er would really empathize with the third brother. He knew that the reason why Xi'er married the third brother was just a helpless move. Including Xi'er's abandonment that day, it was all forced to do so.

After he went back, he thought about it carefully and knew that he was too impulsive at that time. If Ri Xi'er really chose him that day, would the Queen Mother and her father really let them get married? No, it won't. The Rong family will suffer, the mother will suffer, and Xi'er will naturally not be spared. Because this is a royal shame, the queen mother and her father will think that this is the shame that Xi'er brought to the royal family, and this is the shame brought to the royal family due to the poor teaching of the mother concubine.

But he will be spared, because he is the son of his father, and the worst result will be to deprive him of all titles and issue the frontier to the court for the rest of his life.

In retrospect, he knew how selfish he had been that day.

What he did that day was tantamount to forcing the Queen Mother and his father to throw all the problems to Xi'er.

He once thought that he would protect her for the rest of his life, give her stability and support, but he put her in such a difficult situation. And after that incident, what did the civil and military officials and people of Kyoto City think of Xi'er? There must be some gossip.

Originally, there were many concubines in the third brother's mansion, and Xi'er would inevitably be rejected by them if she married her. Now that there is such a ready-made reason to humiliate Xi'er, don't you often ridicule her with the events of the wedding day?

I don't know if Xi'er blames him.

He wasn't worried that Xi'er would really change his mind, but he was worried that Xi'er would deliberately alienate him. Because with his understanding of Xi'er, he knows that whatever happens, Xi'er will hold it in his heart and bear it by himself. No matter how bitter she is, in order not to cause trouble to him, for his stability, her reluctance to him, and her affection for him, she will never show it again.

In my mother's letter a few days ago, I said that my father intended to marry him the concubine of Lord Cai of Huai'an Mansion. Because Master Li, who is currently in Sanhuai Salt Road, has passed the age of sixtieth birthday, his body and bones are getting weaker and weaker, and he has repeatedly asked the court to resign and return to his hometown. The father intends to promote Huai'an Mansion Yin to do the three Huai salt roads. In this way, Miss Cai's identity is more precious, and she is worthy of being his wife.

Mother means that everything comes with his heart. If he doesn't want to marry, there is always a way to deal with it. The father's marriage, it is estimated that after Lord Cai takes over the Sanpin Sanhuai Salt Road, he will send a decree in the name of the Queen Mother to finalize this matter. So before the imperial grandmother officially decreed, they still had room for reversal.

I just heard that my father sent the third brother to assist the prince in renovating the Sanhuai River and brought Yunxi to Huai'an Mansion. So he hurried over. Thinking about it, you can not only meet Wanxi, but also meet Miss Cai's family.

But when I saw Miss Cai's family, I just wanted to get a reason to shirk my father's marriage.

He had already written a letter to his mother, which meant that after he met Miss Cai, his mother would bother his aunt and reveal his dissatisfaction with Miss Cai's meaning to his father and the queen mother.

Even though the father and the queen mother intended to let him get married sooner, it was impossible for him to force him to marry a woman who was not satisfied when he saw him. It is estimated that he can only find other candidates for him. In this way, it can be delayed for some time.

For the sake of the mother concubine in the palace, when you can delay, it is best to use procrastination. I really can't put it off, so I have to think of other ways.

Because he was not ready to go to Cai's Mansion to see the third brother and Yunxi, he just followed the pedestrians aimlessly on the ten-mile long street in Huai'an, which was still bustling and lively after nightfall. With the flow of people, gradually walk to the pier and walk on the walking boardwalk by the river.

The red lanterns are swaying, the crescent moon is hazy, the stars are shining, and the river is rippling with scales...... Different from the vast wilderness of the frontier, this water town in the south of the Yangtze River is full of grace and elegance. I am accustomed to seeing the scenery of the frontier, and now I am in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is also a unique feeling.

At the end of this boardwalk, many people, especially the girls, were talking excitedly, and sometimes there were a scream or two of nymphomaniac.

Anyway, it was just hanging out, King Ling walked a few steps quickly, and simply went to join in the fun. Not far ahead, someone said, "His Royal Highness King Chen is really good to the princess......

"Yes, look at the layout by the river, I don't know how much effort it takes!"

"I'm still curious, why are the lanterns suddenly hanging by the river today, not every year. After listening to what Xiao Zhao said, I realized that it was His Royal Highness King Chen who celebrated the birthday of the princess! ”

"It is said that His Royal Highness King Chen is wine-lustful, but it seems to be a rumor! I think this heart of His Royal Highness King Chen is all on the princess, where do you still have the heart to find other women! ”

The closer he got to the front, the more the Ling King heard the discussion, and his brows were already deeply locked.

Rong Yunxi was very anxious before, but after throwing the old man down and walking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

The old man said "Your Royal Highness", which shows that the old man is a smart man, and he has heard the identity of King Chen from the waist card and King Chen's words. In that case, how could she not know how to let her see the lanterns by the river? Don't he know how precious the life of the king of the court is?

And the last sentence of the old man is already very revealing, the old man said, His Royal Highness must be fine.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I looked at the red lantern hanging by the river, and then thought about the old man's words. What the old man means is that if this red lantern is not a festival, it will not be hung up. And it obviously shows that the red lantern was not hung by the government.

Thinking like this, I suddenly understood! It turns out that King Chen is lying to her!

But such a clumsy scam, she still needs someone to remind her to figure it out, and it's really stupid.

I was depressed for a while, and I didn't know if I was lying to her by King Qichen, or if she was angry with her own stupidity.

But as you walk slowly, you can't help but enjoy the beautiful scenery of the red lanterns......

When I came to the end of this road, I saw that King Chen was standing in front not far away.

Beside him was a crescent moon made of red candles, the same shape as the moon in the sky tonight. Around the moon, there are beautiful flower petals, and there is still a circle of red candles around the petals.

Where can you not be surprised when you see this?

When I got closer, I saw the contents of the wooden card, and I felt a little funny. What are these words? People are not allowed to pass by from now on, it is simply a tune to occupy the mountain as the king!

So much so that standing in front of King Chen at this time, seeing his fluttering figure and affectionate look, he just felt funny.

Originally, he had put this thought into himself, and she should have cooperated a little. I finally made a surprise and moved. But now, after the two have known each other wordlessly for a long time, and it seems that they are looking at each other affectionately, she just says, "What are you doing?" Make such a big battle? Eating too much at noon and having nowhere to go? ”
