Chapter 5 Who is the Confidant 5
I was silent and didn't want to explain anything, maybe it would be better for everyone.
"As a prince, this king has no choice. As the son of the queen mother, he has no choice. His eyes turned indifferent, full of sadness, and he expressed his helplessness as a prince. In fact, I also know that when I am in the royal family, I have long been involuntarily myself, and I look at the dazzling identity on the outside, but I am actually lonely inside.
"Lord Wang, why me! Mu Ling is the daughter of the prime minister, kind-hearted and knowledgeable. I really don't think she's worthy of you in any way. I used a soft tone, wanting to comfort Rong Haoxuan at this time.
"Mu Ling, I can only treat her as a sister. You, on the other hand, are different. He stopped his eyes on me.
I took a long breath and asked in a firm voice what I had been wondering about.
"Lord Wang, the slave dares to ask. Is your difference with me based on my similarity to her? β
Rong Haoxuan's whole body froze because of my words. I should, guess it right, he didn't treat me differently because I looked like that woman.
"Song Liu understands that there may be similarities between me and her, but Lord Wang, Song Liu is Song Liu, she is her, we are not alone."
Rong Haoxuan didn't speak again, and his eyes gradually moved away from me.
There was silence for a long time, and when I thought we would end the conversation with silence, he spoke leisurely.
"I married her on my fingers...... My father made a promise to General Chu before we were born that the eldest son would marry General Chu's eldest daughter as a concubine. I didn't listen to this sentence, but I only wrote down three words of General Chu, which were enough to make me rush.
"Chu... Will... Army, what the prince said was Chu Jianhong, the general of Chu back then. "I couldn't stand on my heels, and I trembled slightly.
He bowed his head and agreed, "It's General Chu Jianhong, he is the most trusted hero of his father." However, he conspired against it five years ago, and in the end, the whole family was tragically wiped out. General Chu's daughter, Chu Zhenluo, my princess, also failed to escape this catastrophe. At that time, I was 12 years old, and Zhen Luo was only 10 years old. If this accident hadn't happened, five years later, I would not be marrying Mu Ling, but Zhen Luo. β
It turned out that he was the proud son in his father's mouth back then, and memories gradually came to his heart.
My father once said to me, Zhen Luo, my father set a family business for you before you were born. When Zhen Luo is fifteen years old, his father will tell you which proud son he is. Zhen Luo was born rich and noble, and he must be the mother of the world.
At that time, I failed to grasp the meaning of my father's words, but now I know the meaning of the sentence "born rich and rich, motherly in the world". At that time, his father was a general of the Weizhen court and a hero of the emperor. The eldest son of the emperor marries the daughter of a general, what a good family affair, it should be a good story in the world.
However, my nominal fiancΓ© is not Rong Haoxuan. It was Rong Chenxuan, the son born to Concubine Jin at that time, and he was the real eldest son of the emperor. And Rong Haoxuan was just the son of Mu Zhaoyi at that time, the son of Queen Mu today, and the second son of the emperor.
Just because the eldest son of the emperor died at birth, Rong Haoxuan became the nominal eldest son of the emperor.
"Lord Wang, what is the similarity between me and that Zhen Luo girl." I stared blankly at him in front of me. In fact, I know better than anyone else that the same person, even if there is a five-year age difference now, still has a lot of similarities.
He slowly approached me, and his eyes suddenly felt strange to me, "The face, especially the eyes, her eyes are the same as yours, and you can remember them deeply at a glance." β
I chuckled for a moment, "But I'm me, she's her, we're not alone." "My biggest concern now is, has he seen me? Where have you seen it? I, on the other hand, have no impression of him. I have never entered the palace, and the people in the palace have never seen me, how did he know Zhen Luo's appearance. Will this cause them to suspect that I am Zhen Luo?
I have to calm down, because Zhen Luo died five years ago, and I am Song Yan's daughter, Song Liu.
My identity is not known to others. Otherwise, I will be a fish that slips through the net, and I will definitely be killed.
"Lord Wang, Song Liu already has someone else in his heart, I hope Lord Wang Ye lives well with Sister Mu." I bowed back to Rong Haoxuan and turned around melodiously, I didn't want to, I had too much to do with him.
At this time, my heart was mixed, and everything was predestined. If my father hadn't been wronged by the Mu family, then I should be by his side now. If the emperor's eldest son had not died, would I have been Rong Haoxuan's sister-in-law now......
Everything is not as it is, because Chu Zhenluo is already dead.
The depressed palace, the slanting wind and drizzle, the jade tree and the branches, the dream of returning to the sky and thinking of it.
The warbler dispersed, the clouds were slightly curling, the peach blossoms outside the curtain, and the words were suddenly long.
Unconsciously walking on the cobblestone road to the Textile Pavilion, he silently muttered the conversation with Rong Haoxuan just now. I don't know how long I walked, but I had arrived outside the door of the crimson Textile Pavilion. Looking back at the road I just walked, it was so unfamiliar.
"Song Liu." A slight cheer pulled me back to my senses, and when I looked back, I saw Xiyun standing less than five paces away from me, his eyes a little glazed.
I just looked at Xiyun like this, and I couldn't laugh, because today brought back too many memories for me. I can't say it, because I can't express my current mood in words.
It was Xiyun who calmed me down with a shallow smile.
"I know that you are connected with King Ding'an and General Helian." Xiyun's smile gradually dissipated with these words.
I looked up at the blue sky and said shallowly, "Xiyun, do you believe in fate?" β
Xiyun didn't reply to me, muttering to herself, but I didn't hear what she said. Now Xiyun must be full of doubts about me. first asked her to help find Helian Liuyun, and then was taken away by Rong Haoxuan. Back and forth, I couldn't explain my relationship with Rong Haoxuan or Helian Liuyun.
Fortunately, the five days passed quickly, and finally ushered in the wedding day of the three kings, and Xiyun and I also returned to Huanyi Pavilion today.
I don't know what kind of lights are shining in the palace today, how lively it is.
