Chapter 2: An Empty Joy

I had no sleep all night - the blind prince lay firmly in the middle of the bed, and I couldn't put down a person on the left and right, so I had to nest on the side of the couch to rest. Xu is because of the dead of night, which leads to thousands of thoughts, and Sister A's delicate and clear face like a fairy daughter can't help but appear in front of her.

Yes, my sister is known to be beautiful since she was a child. When she is older, she will be crowded wherever she goes, and at that time she will eat and drink, and there will always be a prodigal son who offers flowers and Buddha to his family. Later, somehow, Jingmei alarmed the one in the palace, and with a wave of his sleeve, his father, who had never approached the political center and only inherited the title of King Jing, was recruited into the palace, and then waved a holy decree with a big stroke of the pen.

The holy decree praised his imperial brother Zhou Lingqing, and then praised my sister, and finally said that I am optimistic about them, and I will choose an auspicious day to get married.

Then the whole palace ascended to heaven - his father doubled his father's fortune, entered the Shang study, and changed from the idle iron hat king to an official with official ranks; My mother got her fate, and the sky was overjoyed, she hugged my sister in a gaffe, and excitedly sang the lyrics of who said that women are inferior to men; My brother began to be flattered by people who didn't give him a straight eye before, and he must say that this year's champion is none other than Jun; Aunt Liu's monthly money has also made a qualitative leap, and even her eleven-year-old son's candy snacks have increased a lot.

As for me, I got a hug from my sister. Then she tried to hide the joy in the corners of her eyes, the shyness on her eyebrows, and tried to squeeze out sympathy and pity, and said, "It's a pity that Aunt Feng went early, if she can survive until today, wouldn't it be much better than before?" ”

"What Sister said is that it is my aunt who is not blessed, but I am blessed by misfortune to be able to raise in my mother's room, and now I can have such a close princess sister-" I complimented.

"It's hard for you to think about it," she patted me on the shoulder, her expression fluttering, "When I enter King Ling's mansion, I will definitely let Prince Ling choose a suitable husband for you - I heard that he is brave and good at fighting, and he was crowned prince at the age of sixteen, and his command is all capable generals, and when the time comes, any order can make my sister worry about food and clothing in the future!" ”

When I heard this, I was moved to tears, and the two of us hugged each other in a friendly way.

In fact, such a scene is staged in the house every three to five days.

I was a good reader of medicine, so she went around collecting rare ancient books for me. The pearl bracelet of the South China Sea, this is the only string, she let me; A precious mink blanket, she kept a copy for me; Even if she got a brocade from Su Hang, she had to make two sets of clothes and put one in my cupboard.

My food, clothing, housing and transportation, because of her, are more majestic than the concubines in the courtyard of the deep house next to me.

However, this time, Sister A's Buddha light failed to shine on me - she said on the front foot that she would choose a husband for me, and Chu Huai on the back foot came to propose marriage.

The family is not happy, and the joy is rising again - Chu Huai, the only son of the Chu family who is too shou in Fu'an City, Tanhualang in the year before last, is now released to the age of the year, and he will come to Beijing Gao.

My mother was very happy, and bluntly said that God has eyes, and she recorded me in her name with her backhand, and since then there has been an extra daughter in the name of the ancestral hall!

Although Sister Ah was a little surprised, she quickly returned to normal, she took my hand and asked slyly, "That Chu Huai just came to the house with his father to have a banquet when he was a child, and now how many years have passed, and he suddenly came to propose marriage-truthfully recruited, when did you get the letter?" ”

I want to cry without tears, a seed player like him is more than enough to match the daughter of Cheng, how can it be me? Is it necessary to take those three or two sentences as a child seriously?

Well, that's a good memory.

The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, the ancients did not deceive me, when the Jingwang Mansion was still smashed by the pie from the sky and could not find the north, Prince Ling moved back to Chang'an from outside the customs - this is the first time he returned to the capital in seven years since he was eighteen years old and guarded the border pass, and this first time gave the Jingwang Mansion a stuffy stick that had been unable to fight with him.

I don't know what he said to the same saint, but the day after he returned, the holy decree arrived at King Jing's mansion.

It was another letter of the royal pen with crepe, and praised Sister A again, and then said that King Ling did not want to set up a princess early, let Sister A enter the palace as a concubine, and was specially allowed to wear a phoenix crown, the previous reward remained unchanged, and the proposed wedding date remained unchanged, oh yes, I heard that there is another daughter who is going to get married on the same day, congratulations, and another reward of 8,000 gold.

All of a sudden, King Jing's Mansion became the laughing stock of Chang'an City. Everyone congratulates on the surface, the talented woman is good-looking, and there are different opinions behind the scenes. What King Jing is amazing, he sold his daughter! Stepping on his daughter to climb up, the ancestors are disgraced! A talented woman looks like a ghost! It is said that Prince Naling has been fighting for many years, his skin is dark, and he has at least five scars on his face! Balabala.

When Sister Ah heard this, she was so desperate that she locked herself in the attic for three days and two nights. But the general trend is coming, who dares to make a mistake? What's more, our father is mediocre, cowardly, and incompetent, how dare he say a word?

So, two months later, the wedding took place as scheduled. There was an endless stream of people in the house, but no one could see the two walnut-like sisters with swollen eyes under the red hijab.

After the complicated etiquette, my sister and I were each greeted by the bride in a sedan chair.

At that time, I thought that Chu Huai was worth looking forward to-the day he proposed his marriage, he had grown into a humble gentleman, and I thought he must be a good husband. This time, compared to my sister, I seem to be the one who has been favored by fate.

However, turning my head to look at the person who was lying on the bed snoring and breathing steadily, I knew that the fate of bullshit is that man will win the day.

It wasn't until the east was white that I fell asleep in a daze, but I didn't sleep well - someone called my name in my dream and pulled me up to the beheader, and I struggled desperately, and at the moment when the mouth fell, I finally woke up!

It turned out that the time had come, and Mama was calling me through the door and window to freshen up and put on makeup, I came back to my senses, politely and obediently listened to it, and the old Mama was very satisfied, saying that the concubines of the Manchu Mansion were only well-behaved and sensible, although they entered the palace on the orders of the emperor, they did not rely on the emperor's grace, and they were a good girl.

Harm, what can an imposter do to the sky?

When I clean up, the sky is already bright, and there is a rule to return to the door the next day, but is it necessary for the concubine to go through this process?

Mama saw that I had this question, and although she was busy with work, she still replied to me, "The concubine naturally doesn't have to go back, but the battle you entered the palace is no different from marrying a princess and coming back, and besides, the will of the saint can't wronged you, so... The carriage back to the door is prepared, as for whether the prince wants to accompany you, this... How can the old slave be the lord of the king..."

"You don't have to be with you..."

The old lady looked at me and was full of questions: Why is there a bride who explicitly refuses to return with her husband?

"Uh...... I thought, the prince worked hard yesterday, and since he is still asleep, he should have a good rest, and it doesn't hurt for me to go back alone-"

After listening to me, the old lady actually blushed and laughed, "Okay, it's rare for you to think about the prince, the old slave will go and order the carriages and horses prepared before, let them prepare, and set off in a while——"

The old lady probably thought something wrong...

The efficiency of Ling Wangfu's work can be called a must, a cup of tea, everything is in place, a little guy came to report that I can set off when I get in the car, I naturally can't drag my feet, I followed the little guy to the door with my skirt, and boarded the carriage three or five times - in this way, it seems a little like an arrow.

Indeed, I am like an arrow.

I desperately want to ask my mother, I was also fed by her spoonful and rice, there is no blood relationship and family affection, how can I know that it is a fire pit, and push me down first? This prince is blind now, if I am not blind, how can I deal with it? I can't get his favor with my face, and when the East Window incident happens, isn't it a great crime to deceive the king?

But when I arrived at the Jingwang Mansion, I went to the hall in a hurry, and saw my sighing father and tearful mother, as well as my sister who was so thin that she was out of shape earlier than I returned to the door, I choked.

"Second Miss is back!" Xiaoqing, the maid guarding the door, was the first to discover me, and a scream attracted my mother, followed by Sister A.

Mother knelt down and pounced, "Ming'er, I'm sorry for you-"

Sister Ah also cried in the back, but my father was the most sensible, so he dragged our group into the hall and closed the doors and windows.

"Am I not unscathed? Mother, don't be sad, get up quickly—"

Didn't I come to ask the teacher about sin? How to export is the Virgin Statement?

My mother finally sat on the chair with the support of my sister and me, and then my father's speech, he swore to the sky, such a dizzy trick was not something he came up with, in his opinion, both daughters are the same dignity, blame my mother, originally there was a daughter who could live a life, this trick "changed" the bride, but made both daughters into the whirlpool! No, it's the entire Zhao family, and the entire Jingwang Mansion has been pulled into a catastrophe!

The mother's emotions that had finally calmed down came back to her head, crying and justifying, "How did I not know that both daughters are noble? Don't look at what Leping has become these days, if she enters King Ling's Mansion again, how many days can she live? Le Ming is optimistic and tenacious since he was a child, he will not be bad anywhere, I have my own measure of doing things! But you, the father, close your eyes and only dream of making a fortune! ”

This story tells us that there are also bullying of the weak, and it is still necessary to have proper funeral flowers and pretend!

"I'm sorry, Ming'er, it's me and I can't stand you...... I'm damn here......"

Sister covered her face and cried.

"What nonsense is Sister talking about! Now like this... There's nothing wrong with that, Chu Huai's appearance and talent are worthy of Sister A, I... King Ling didn't treat me harshly...... "I tried hard to show my willingness, but my voice weakened, and after a pause, I asked a little, "It's just that Mother, if it weren't for King Ling's head and now his eyes are blind, with my posture, how can I get through the trick?" You're taking too much of a risk—"

"I carefully read the holy decree, it only said that Jingwangfu should marry a concubine, and it did not say that it must be the eldest daughter, Ming'er, you are now under my name, why are you not a concubine? It has to be a legitimate reason to take me, otherwise wouldn't it be a faint king? ”

Ignoring my father, who was gesticulating slightly, my mother raised her hand and handed me the decree on the record.

I skipped it directly, and I saw that the last sentence was written vigorously and powerfully: "The daughter of King Jing entered the palace of King Jing and chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage."

This... What is a dumb loss? Mother pondered something, why can't she become famous? Let the royal dumb eat Coptis chinensis is bitter and can't say, my mother should be the first person in the world.

It wasn't until everyone calmed down that I pulled Sister A and asked, "Chu Huai... Didn't he go back with you? ”

"He said early in the morning that he had something to do, so he sent me over and left in a hurry, so that he could come back before lunch......" Sister Ah was still crying pear blossoms with rain, and when she mentioned Chu Huai, her cheeks were suddenly dyed with two blushes, and even her complexion was a little better.

Maybe it's a good thing - I won't ask, "Can he mention me?" Swallowed.

Now that this has happened, why bother with bad people's hearts?

At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and the door that had just been closed opened a crack, and Xiao Qing said in a suppressed voice, "The carriage and horse of King Ling's Mansion have arrived again!" ”。

"How did Leming travel by himself while I was asleep?" Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and the blind prince arrived.
