Chapter 35 King Xiang Gives Marriage
%&*"; i^
January 205 BC
Not long after the banquet that entertained Liu Bang ended, Xiang Yu held another banquet, and there were not many people attending this banquet.
It's the first time I've seen catkins.It's different from what I imagined.Her appearance is not very outstanding.It's not the kind of woman who can make people shine.But if you spend a little more time with her.You'll find that her speech and demeanor are elegant and generous.It's a typical daughter of a famous family.Everyone's lady.
She sat quietly beside Gao Xiran with the child in her arms, her expression was quiet and gentle, as if she was holding her world.
"So this is the catkins girl." I leaned into Changxi's ear and whispered, "I thought it was a peerless beauty, so I was secretly jealous and cared about it for a long time."
Changxi chuckled and whispered back to me: "When did I say that catkins are peerless beauties, it's just your own guess."
The first time I heard the name "catkins" was five years ago. After two words, I secretly felt sad for a long time.Although Gao Xiran later told me that Liu Wu was Shu Yan's wife for Changxi.But I still have a knot in my heart.I always feel that it is a sinful thing to stay by Changxi's side who already has a fiancée.Later, I don't know what happened.When I finally saw Changxi again and decided to stay by his side no matter what.She became Gao Xiran's wife again.Not only that, but she also had children.
"Fate is magical." I couldn't help but sigh: "Always in an unexpected direction."
Changxi looked at me, but smiled silently.
"I called you here today for nothing else, just for a matter of Yu'er and me." Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Although this matter has been talked about a year ago, but it has been delayed until now. He turned his head to look at me and Changxi." Your marriage should be done."
When he mentioned this, I remembered that my marriage to Changxi had been put on hold for a long time, and although he and I were no different from ordinary couples, I would never have been his rightful wife without a wedding.
"What the king said is very true." Changxi smiled: "I have been thinking about it in my heart for a long time.
"So good." Yu Ji said happily: "Then it is better to choose a day than to hit the day. Three days later is a good day, and it will be set for the day after tomorrow."
"Three days later." Gao Xiran raised his eyebrows: "Will it be too hasty, besides, if it is only three days, His Royal Highness Shu Yan will not be able to rush over in time."
"Mother, don't worry, I just received a letter from home a few days ago, saying that she has set off from Yuyang, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow." Changxi looked like he was in control, and said: "Besides, my mother's urging for marriage was urgent, even if Xue'er and I got married when she was away, she shouldn't be angry."
"Then it's decided." Yu Ji looked at me and smiled: "Xue'er and Changxi are married, my sister is also a matter of heart, it's better to have a child as soon as possible, I have already thought about it, if it is a boy, I will be my family's godbrother, if it is a daughter...... So I will be the daughter-in-law of my family......"
Yu Ji muttered happily, I was a little unconscious, I knew that Changxi gently pulled my sleeve, and said in my ear: "You and I are not young anymore, it has dragged on for so long, and it is time to marry you into the door of our Ji family."
I blushed slightly, and gently took his hand and said, "That's too sudden, and you didn't say to warn me in advance."
"I thought you had guessed." He chuckled under his breath, "I didn't expect you to forget that I owe you a wedding."
Forget.How can I forget.I just don't want to mention it.I'm afraid you're upset.Qin Yuqi died not long ago.You must still be a little depressed in your heart.And I've always felt sorry for Xiao Xu.I always feel that Qin Yuqi's death is also hard to blame.Both of us still have knots in our hearts.In this case.How embarrassed am I to mention the matter of getting married.
Fortunately, this matter was mentioned by Xiang Yu today, if it was a marriage given by him, I would be able to feel a little more at ease when I got married to Changxi.
The marriage has been decided.As an official.Changxi has to send invitations to many colleagues and friends.I don't want him to be so busy.There are only a few people I can invite in this Xianyang City.Not to mention that two of those people are absolutely not allowed to be invited.
One is Wu Yi, and the other is Zhang Budo.
However, even though I did not inform them of the marriage, one of them came to visit me and Changxi the next day.
It was breakfast.I was eating with Changxi in the main hall.The next person suddenly came to report.It was Wu Yigongzi who came to visit.I was about to make a dish for Changxi.When I heard the man's name.The chopsticks in my hand "clicked" on the table.
"Please let him in." Changxi still lowered his head to eat, and said lightly: "Xue'er, you go to see him."
"Changxi...... "I looked at Changxi in disbelief." Are you really ...... Let me go."
"If I go, I'm going to break up again, and in the end it's going to make us two go to war." Changxi put down his chopsticks, looked at me and said, "Go ahead, make everything you need to say clearly."
Naturally, I understand the meaning of Changxi's words, which is different from before, that he is trying to make concessions, that he is beginning to change, for the sake of our future.
"I will." I gently placed a kiss on his forehead and said softly, "Everything will be fine."
Wu Yi was already standing in the courtyard due to the cold weather, he was wearing a thick brocade robe today, and he was wearing a mink scarf around his neck.
"You're here." He didn't look at me, his eyes were still on the distance, and there was no sparkle in the eyes of the fox who had always been clear.
"Hmm." I stopped, I didn't dare to get any closer to him, he was like a painting now, and there was no room for me to step in.
"I'm a liar, but even if I can lie to the whole world that I don't love you, I can't fool myself." He turned his head, his face more delicate and paler against the black hair.
"I thought that as long as I stayed with you, you would eventually find out what was good about me, but it seems that I was wrong." He pulled out a difficult smile and said helplessly: "I love you so much, why can't I keep you in the end?
"Wu Yi, I ......"
"That's it." He walked up to me, took off his cloak and tied it on me, and said in a bitter voice: "Wear more, you're not well, when it's cold...... Wear more."
A cool thing fell on my face, and it was quickly washed down by my tears, but the cool thing became more and more, and finally blurred my vision.
This was the last time I saw Wu Yi before I got married, and he smiled softly at me in the snow, but his face was paler than the snow.
