Volume 4 Xiao Wall Chapter 27 Marriage (2)
Seven years after entering the palace, this is the first time Yunyue has saved her relatives. γLatest chapter reading. For such a long time, she began to become unfamiliar with her home. It used to be the place she liked and relied on the most, but now it looked like a cold room, and everything here seemed so cold.
Finally getting rid of the annoyance of the crowd, she found an opportunity to leave in a carriage from the back door with her third brother Faka.
"Mother, where are we going?" Faka drove the carriage himself, and although he didn't know what his sister's idea was, their brother and sister had always been close, and he would never refuse what his sister wanted.
"My brother has long reached the age of marrying a wife, and he was delayed because of his sister's death. It's a good time to miss out. Yun Yue's heart was still a little apprehensive at this time, where she was going next, she thought that she would never have a chance to set foot again, but this time in order to achieve her goal, it was inevitable.
Faka was unprepared in his heart, and as soon as Yunyue's words came out, he began to get nervous, and hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry about this." β
"I wasn't in a hurry, but now I have to be in a hurry." Yun Yue told him about the current situation in the palace, they have no way out, if they lose this time, then the future days may not be so comfortable.
After hearing what she said, Faka fell silent, if a marriage could help his sister and the whole family, why didn't he do it. Although my sister is a queen, she was assassinated. Although my father was in a high position, he never had a day of peace of mind. Now, his only sister is fighting for the whole family, so why does he have no reason to say no.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Yun Yue never dreamed that it would be the person she didn't want to see the most when she came out to greet them.
It seemed that time had stopped at this moment, and Yun Yue only felt tears on her cheeks. In this cold and icy winter, standing in the snow, there is no strength to move your feet.
Beside him stood a beautiful woman, richly dressed and dignified. She watched them salute herself, and shouted, "See Concubine Yun." β
"I didn't expect the eldest prince to come out to greet him in person." Yun Yue woke up from this shout, and the tears on her face were still as elegant as ever. She was very sad, but seeing such a beautiful woman around him, she could only endure the uncomfortable heart. She can't cry, she can't be sad, at least she can't show her sadness. Because, she is not qualified. She stepped on the remnants of the snow she had just swept and stepped cautiously into the gate as if she were stepping on the blade of an ice blade.
"Father has been waiting for a long time." Polite and gentle voice, he never changed. It's just that they no longer have time to be alone, and they no longer have the opportunity to whisper. From the time she entered the palace seven years ago, she was destined to have a relationship between them.
When he saw Suo Etu, he was sitting precariously. He watched Yun Yue walk in, saluted and said, "The last time I saw Yi Concubine Niangniang, this time Concubine Yun Niangniang came to the house in person." β
"I hope you can help again." In the face of such a person, it is best to be direct, know each other's intentions, and there is no need to be hypocritical.
"The last time Yi Concubine promised to go down to the official two things, now there is another one that seems to have no progress." Suo Etu hit the nail on the head, the woman in front of her can be regarded as growing up since she was a child, a woman who doesn't like to fight, but now she is deep in the whirlpool of power. Even if she didn't want to fight, she couldn't stop. Only by making yourself stronger can you survive in such a place.
The harem is the same as the court, both are a place that cannot be seen at a glance, but there are quagmire traps everywhere. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and even lose your life. It's the same battlefield, but it's far bloodier than the real battlefield. This is an invisible crossbow drawn sword, but it is a scar that can feel endless pain.
"It's not without progress." Yunyue said calmly: "The death of Empress Renxiao is the same as the death of my sister. Adults should know in their hearts that if you help us today, you will also help yourself. We have a common enemy, shouldn't we be on the same line? β
"But last time, you have disappointed me." Suo Etu snorted coldly.
Yunyue smiled: "What is disappointment? My sister's death is something none of us want to see, and it is not something we can predict. If Tong Ruofei ascends to the back seat, is that what you want to see? β
"So, I have no reason to turn you down?" Suo Etu glanced at Yunyue.
Yun Yue said without thinking: "Naturally, no." Adults understand the situation better than we do, whether it is the court or the harem, in fact, it will always be inseparable. β
"You want a backing?" Suo Etu was a little surprised, originally thought that this time she was the same as the last time, she just wanted a cooperation, just wanted a balance. Now, it seems to be different.
"Since Empress Renxiao and my sister passed away one after another, only Tong Ruofei was left after the second concubine who entered the court at the beginning of that year. No matter what level it is, Tong Ruofei is the best candidate for the Middle Palace. Yun Yue said: "In the harem, I am the one with the highest rank except for Tong Ruofei, and I don't ask for the queen position, so I won't hinder the prince." My father is gone, and my brothers are powerless to compete with the Tong family. And the Hesheri family, except for the crown prince, there is no one in the harem. If the adults are above the court, sooner or later they will be expelled from the Tong family. β
"What do you think?"
"My father had long planned to marry adults, but things changed and it was delayed for a few years." Yunyue said indifferently.
Suo Etu glanced at the eldest son, who had been silent beside him, and then turned his head to look at Faka beside Yunyue, and immediately understood what she meant.
"My daughter got married at the beginning of the year, how can she get married?" Suo Etu looked at Yunyue and said.
"I heard that Empress Renxiao has two younger sisters." Yunyue Road.
Suo Etu frowned, it turned out that this girl was actually paying attention to this.
"As the uncle of Empress Renxiao, my lord is naturally able to be the master." Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Yue said again: "I believe that the adults will not refuse this proposal." β
"My eldest brother passed away last year, and these two children are still keeping filial piety, so it is not appropriate to organize happy events." What Suo Etu said is not an excuse, it is also true. In fact, he had a plan in his heart, but today's situation was the most favorable as Yunyue said.
Now that the prince has a lord in the middle palace, he will give birth to a son-in-law in the future, and I am afraid that the prince's position will be difficult to protect.
"There's no need to rush it." Yun Yue knew that he had relented, smiled and said, "As long as the adults should do this family business, the marriage between the two families will be done again in the coming year." β
Suo Etu looked at Yunyue, only to feel that this woman was completely different from the one he knew before. She has changed, in the deep palace, she knows how to plan ahead, she has learned to calculate the way forward one step earlier. Only in this way can we go further.
It seems that he is a little lost after losing such a daughter-in-law.
"It seems that I really have no reason to say no more." Suo Etu said happily: "I hope that what Niangniang promised can be realized as soon as possible." β
"Hongu is looking forward to that day, too." Yunyue dreamed of avenging her sister, and the concubine being beaten into the cold palace was just the beginning. The person who really manipulates all this behind her back is her real enemy. Obviously, this enemy of hers has aroused a lot of hatred. And each of them can be used by her.
As she left Soetu's house, she heard the sound of the harp. The voice was familiar and unfamiliar, and she wanted to turn back, to stop and listen, but she couldn't. When the curtain of the carriage was lowered, she burst into tears.
She had imagined seeing each other again many times, but she never knew it would be such a hurried side. Have they talked? Some. But it doesn't seem to have been.
She remembered the night before she entered the palace seven years ago, and she was like this, crying alone. It's the same time when the snow is falling, the same cold, the same people, but they can't go back to the same day
She remembered the first time they saw each other when she was a child, in that season of frequent calling, under the starry sky, they looked at each other for ten thousand years.
Something, missed, that's wrong. There's no chance to make it up, there's no chance to start over.
Han Ji's request was obviously much easier than the other two. She knew that the person would not say no to herself, even if she knew that it was a use, she still did it without regrets.
Under the plum tree, petals are scattered on the shoulders of two people. He's still smiling, he's still personable, he's still talented, he's still eye-catching.
"Rongruo, thank you." She said.
He didn't answer, just gave her a gentle look, then smiled and turned away. It was easy for him to do. She didn't even have to come and tell him in person, he would do the same.
He has always known his father Mingzhu very well, which side he chooses to stand on, and what words he uses to persuade him, he has practiced it many times in his heart.
In fact, he would have liked to stay and talk to her for a while, even for a while. But he couldn't. Putting aside those worldly rituals, he couldn't let her blow the cool breeze in this cold winter.
He knew she was pregnant, and after giving birth to a daughter last year, it was her going to be a mother again.
Although the beloved woman is married to someone else, he is already happy to see her happy. He learned to be perfect only because he knew what she needed most. Just like at this moment, with a word from her and a look from her, he already knew what her purpose was here. He agreed without hesitation, not because of a gesture, but because he wanted her to be happy. This is what she needs and wants, then he will definitely promise her and complete it.
Yanan held an umbrella, brushed off the snow and petals on her body, and reminded in a low voice: "Fujin, let's go back, it's too late for the prince to worry." β
Looking at his distant back, Han Ji sighed in her heart. In this life, she has lost him after all, I hope he can meet a woman who treats him well, and then spend this life together.
