Chapter 704: Husband and Wife Gap
She knew that she had lost his heart and would never be able to find it again.
She knew that his heart was already completely in Rong Yunxi's place.
……
On the morning of the ninth day of the first month of March, the countries of the world entered the castle of Kyoto in the country of wind one after another. By the time of the early dynasty, the envoys of the Cloud Kingdom, the Fire Country, and the Rain Country had all arrived, and only the two emperors of the Thunder Kingdom, which was one of the main reasons for the gathering of the kingdoms, and the Snow Country, which had always been as mysterious as the domain of the gods, had not yet arrived.
Rong Yunxi has already prepared the Silkworm God Ceremony and the Penglai Hall Night Banquet, and I just hope that tomorrow's big day can be properly completed, but don't make any trouble.
I also look forward to getting news of my mother from Murong Yan.
The emperor came to Yilan Palace again after the early court, as if he couldn't wait to see each other a moment later. Rong Yunxi saw him enter the house with a hippie smile, but he felt a headache. Watching him dangling in front of him all day long is not upset enough.
"There is news from the other that the envoys of the countries have arrived, do you want to send someone to care?" Annoying, but serious things still have to be said.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I have already asked the fourth child to do it, and at this moment, the old four have already arrived at the post house." I asked them to rest for a while, and Ming'er invited them to the northern suburbs of the imperial field to watch the silkworm god. Coupled with the pastimes you prepared, let them enjoy themselves in Weiyang Palace for a day, and early the day after tomorrow, let them get out of here! ”
As soon as Rong Yunxi heard the rogue words coming out of his mouth, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He always pestered her like this, Rong Yunxi became less and less aware of the proportions of getting along with him, and when he wanted to laugh, he laughed unabashedly, and did not hide his ridicule.
The emperor didn't have the heart to laugh at Rong Yunxi, but frowned and said: "This morning, the fourth child and I said that the queen mother came to him yesterday and wanted to help him get married to Miss Chen as soon as possible......
Rong Yunxi said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother and the queen mother have already decided on something, how can it be so bad?" Sooner or later, it's something to mention. ”
"Guess what the fourth said?" The emperor asked.
Rong Yunxi saw the emperor's meaningful expression, and then thought of what he had heard before, about an official lady going to visit King Jing, and couldn't help but sink in his heart. "How do you say that?" he asked. ”
"The fourth said that since the queen mother has this intention, he is unwilling to go against the wishes of his elders, so he will let the palace call the shots and handle it as soon as possible." In the emperor's words, there was a sigh.
Rong Yunxi snorted coldly and said, "It's okay, since he is such a filial person, how can we stop him?" It's just that I'm not his eldest sister-in-law, and it's not my turn to do the marriage for him. Didn't the fourth child always do his son's courtesy to the queen mother? This matter is naturally handled by the queen mother. ”
The emperor looked at her with a clear face, knowing that she was angry with King Jing. said: "It's not just that you're angry, but when I hear it, I'm not angry." I grabbed him and asked him a lot, and then I got to the bottom of it...... The fourth child only said that he couldn't marry Chu Xia, and marrying her would hurt her. It's just a mouthful, and I don't say anything for a clear reason. It's about Chen Jinse, and it's quite carefully......"
"What's going on?" Rong Yunxi asked.
Is there any reason why there is a knife on the neck and has to be married? Now that the old dynasty has changed to a new dynasty, and his most trusted brother has become the emperor, who can coerce him or anything? If he didn't marry him if he didn't want to, no one could coerce him.
According to the fourth child himself, Chen Jinse took the initiative to approach him, not only did he complain that he did not marry, but he was caring and considerate in every way. came and went, and the two became confidants. Gradually, he felt that Chen Jinse was smart, virtuous, knowledgeable, and the woman he had been looking for......"
The emperor stretched out his hands and said, "So, isn't it understandable?" He fell in love with Chen Jinse, and felt that Chen Jinse was the destination of love, and your little maid was just a young mistake he made. He likes it himself, what else can I say? The love between men and women is never achieved overnight, and there are always some detours. ”
"Hmph......" Rong Yunxi snorted with her nose, thinking, are you taking the opportunity to talk about yourself? Let me understand your previous mistakes. If I don't understand you, wouldn't I even be as good as Miss Chen?
"It's okay......" Rong Yunxi said, "Anyway, Chu Xia didn't want to marry the prince." As long as King Jing marries a wife, she will completely break the reluctance in her heart, and choose a good son-in-law in the future. It's just that because of the relationship in early summer, whether it is the operation of the marriage or the wedding day of the four children, I can't show up. ”
Knowing that what he couldn't stand the most was her coquettishness, Rong Yunxi shook his hand coquettishly and said, "Are you allowed to do it, ......Your Majesty?"
"Quasi-quasi-quasi! Whatever you say, I'm right! "As soon as I heard Rong Yunxi's delicate voice, the emperor's whole person was numb, where is there any reason?
The door was hidden, and at the door, Zhiqiu listened to the words in the house, quietly retreated to the wall, quietly turned to the backyard, and walked quickly to the slave room in the backyard.
Rong Yunxi heard the footsteps and sighed softly.
After all, the infatuation in early summer was wrong. The fate that rose in joy and joy in the spring of that year was still a bad fate after all.
Sure enough, people's hearts are as unpredictable as rivers, and the waves change rapidly.
This time, she also saw King Jing wrong.
……
In the afternoon, the news that the Snow Emperor had arrived at the post house reached Weiyang Palace, and then the new Emperor of the Thunder Kingdom, Lei Qianliu, arrived.
Rong Yunxi was anxious to know the news of her mother, but the emperor was tired of being in the Yilan Palace all day, even if the envoys of all the countries arrived, she had no intention of leaving, so she couldn't take advantage of the loopholes at all.
Even if Rong Yunxi has tried his best to hide his emotions and prevent himself from showing his uneasy emotions, how can he completely hide this heavy heart?
The emperor sat in the small study and read, seemingly leisurely, but his eyes fell on Rong Yunxi's body from time to time, and his eyes were a little unpredictable.
In February, the queen mother found out a piece of news. How could the queen mother not tell him if she had caught such a trick? Then he followed the clues to check, and he didn't want to, and sure enough-
Her mother is from Snowpiercer. It was the queen Xu who escaped from the Snow Country Palace in the early years. And Xu's is still alive today.
Does she know about this? Did you deliberately deceive him?
He didn't want to ask her, he wanted to believe her. But now that I see her preoccupied appearance, the trust in my heart can no longer rise.
He didn't think that his queen and his wife would do anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, but the words of the queen mother were also piercing - Rong Yunxi is taking action step by step, that is, to use you to control the Wind Country, in order to make the Xu family's resurgence in the Snow Country. The worst thing is to use you to let the Wind Country send troops to avenge the Xu family.
Now that there is only her mother left in the Xu family, it would be too far-fetched to say that Yunxi is trying to make Xu's resurrection. But what about the latter? If it's the latter, Yunxi's love for him...... Haven't they all become exploits with ulterior motives, and haven't they all become fake?
He didn't want to believe it, why did Yunxi know anything about Murong Yan? Is Murong Yan really Jun Ziye's friend? Nonsense! How can someone like Jun Ziye have friends...... She's lying to him, he's lying to him for some ulterior purpose, she's lying to him......
The emperor couldn't dare to think about it anymore. I just feel that my heart is very chaotic, I want to see something clearly, but I am afraid of what will happen; I want to make myself sober, but my heart is constantly resisting.
Rong Yunxi lay down, got up, got up, and lay down again, and after lying down, she turned over several times. But in the end, I still couldn't think of a solution.
If you don't say hello to him in advance, even if you wait for Murong Yan to enter the palace tomorrow, it will not be a complete move to find an opportunity to ask him something. After all, how many people's eyes are staring at her in this palace! If someone goes to the emperor to chew the root of her tongue, won't she be unable to speak?
But if you talk to the emperor about this first...... How do you start that? This is her family matter, and it is a family matter that she herself still doesn't understand, and telling the emperor will only make this matter more complicated.
Mother's affairs involve the politics of the Snow Country, if she is the only one involved, no matter what the final result is, it is just a contest between their Xu family and the Snow Kingdom Imperial Court. But if the emperor is involved, it will become a matter of the Wind Country and the Snow Country. Once the consequences are serious, I am afraid that a big war will be triggered.
The troubled times are coming, and the wind country must act cautiously, and the emperor's measures must also be taken step by step. If the Wind Country and the Snow Country go to war first, the surrounding countries will definitely want to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie.
The Snow Country is in a remote location, and even if it is captured, it is useless, and who wants to survive beyond the mountains? It's just chicken ribs to keep it. Therefore, such as the Fire Country, the Thunder Country, and the Cloud Country, they must all set their sights on the Wind Country. At that point, the Windy Nation will be the target of public criticism. How easy is it to be attacked by a crowd and want to win?
So no matter what, she can't involve the emperor. And once the emperor knows about her mother, the emperor is worried about her, no matter what she does, he is bound to intervene, how can she take the risk by herself and ignore it?
After thinking about it, the final result is still - can't tell him.
For a moment, Rong Yunxi even hoped that they were just the same kind of cooperative relationship as before. If it's just a partnership, she can ask for his help in a different way, and it shouldn't be difficult to do it with a little bit of thought. But now...... All her decisions were made on the basis of thinking about him, and she even ignored herself.
Rong Yunxi felt very distressed, and felt that because of his concern for him, many things were becoming more and more unclear. But on the contrary, he has realized that this is wrong, but he is still obsessed and does not regret it. Thinking that as long as he is good, it doesn't hurt that he really falls into a situation from which he will never recover.
The room was quiet, and the two of them had their own thoughts, thinking about each other, but no one could guess each other's thoughts.
……
The 10th Silkworm God Festival in the first month of March is a grand event for the monarchs and ministers of the Wind Country to pray for good wind and rain and a bumper harvest of grains. At sunrise on this day, the people will sprinkle the old millet left over from the previous year in their yards and on the road in front of the gate to worship the silkworm god. Some wealthy families will sprinkle grain everywhere in their mansions, and open ancestral halls, scatter grain inside and outside the ancestral hall, and worship the grains of the whole family. He even invited the troupe to sing a few plays in the courtyard for the pastime of the god of ceres.
Rong Yunxi got up early before dawn, and before sunrise, he followed the honor guard in the palace to the northern suburbs of Huangtian. Yu Chuxia and Zhiqiu each stood behind him with a pure gold tray, and in the tray were two glass bowls, which were filled with grains.
Behind the two girls, there are the ladies in the harem, followed by the women of the court. The one standing behind the wives is the honor guard of the palace music.
In front of Rong Yunxi, at the entrance of Huangtian in the northern suburbs, a high platform about three people high had already been set up. On the high platform, the windy imperial flag is planted, and the imperial flag flies fiercely with the strong wind in the early spring morning.
As the morning light broke through the clouds, the celebrant rang the bell of the hour. With the slowly rising sun, Rong Yunxi walked towards the high platform and climbed the steps......
