Chapter 57: Marriage
This is the deepest secret in Shi Ling's heart, right?
It's also his wounds.
Now he actually tore open his scab and showed it to Shen Xian, did he want to prove that he was in love with Shen Xian?
Thinking of this, Shen Xian's heart suddenly became numb, and her hands couldn't help but stir together.
Obviously, she provoked him first, but today, after listening to his story, she only feels shameless and ashamed.
Shi Ling looked at her fixedly for a long time, and Shen Xian felt as if she was about to be eaten.
Cai said: "I'm telling you this, I just don't want you to judge without knowing me." ”
"What?"
Shi Ling withdrew his hand and looked helpless: "You like me, but what do you like about me?" ”
Shen Xian looked away with a weak heart.
If she now said that she liked to marry Shi Ling and could be angry with Shi Yu, would Shi Ling be angry with her?
She didn't dare to speak, so she could only be silent.
Shi Ling said again: "I don't like to be unclear, and I didn't like to interact with people before, but you Shen Xian don't want to be cheeky and want to stick it up, and I can't always push you away." There was a hint of a smile on his pale face as he spoke.
"What does the prince mean..."
"I hope you can think clearly, after knowing my past, if you are still willing to like me, I will go to your house to propose, okay?"
He was obviously nervous when he said this, but he was just restraining his emotions.
Shen Xian was stunned in place and at a loss.
This was clearly what she wanted to hear before.
Shi Ling is willing to marry her, her plan has succeeded, she should be happy.
But she only felt that the tip of her nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
How could she lie to him?
There are few people in this world who are sincere to him, but he is actually open to himself, Shen Xian, Shen Xian, you should be full of evil!
"Shen Xian?"
Shi Ling felt that something was wrong, and wanted to reach out to pull her, but pulled the wound, and gasped in pain.
"Shhh
Shen Xian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, just in time to meet him, and immediately moved away with a weak heart.
Licking his lips: "What matters now is your injury, let's talk about it when you are healed." ”
Shi Ling finally knew that something was wrong, if Shen Xian had heard him say these words in the past, she would have pounced happily, and even had to act in a fake way.
But now she is not only unhappy, but even running away.
“… Good. ”
Sure enough, he has such a past, who would like it?
-
Early the next morning, the saint ordered him to return to the palace.
Originally, the time of winter hunting was going to last for a while, but now that one thing after another has happened, people have to think about it, and the saint is even more angry and demoted several senior officials in a row.
After returning to Kyoto City, Shen Xian's ass was not yet firmly seated, so she ordered Xiangnong to do something.
So a few days later, it was reported that Xiao Hui, the third prince, was beaten with her head covered on the way back to her mother's house, and it was said that the beating was quite miserable, anyway, she was not seen at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve later.
But that's all for later.
Shen Xian was entangled in her heart about what Shi Ling said, but she had never dared to look at others, so she secretly searched for medicine to treat knife wounds and sent them to King Xuan's mansion.
Shi Ling saw this continuous ointment gift, and his heart was helpless.
If you don't want to see him, why do you do this?
When Ling recovered from his injury, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve, and Shen Xian saw him again.
She came into the palace with her parents and brothers, wearing a festive orange palace dress, saying that her skin was white and bright, but she just glanced at each other in a hurry, and Shi Ling was the first to open her eyes.
Shen Xian muttered in her heart, could it be that her sincerity would be gone in just a few days?
As soon as she sat down, Zhong Mingyue came up and complained: "You still know how to go out, why didn't you come when I looked for you so many times a few days ago?" ”
After speaking, he glared at Shen Yao again: "And you, what do you mean by not going out?" ”
"The second sister doesn't go out, and I don't want to..."
Shen Xian smiled dryly and said that she was busy, in fact, she was just worried about how to face Shi Ling in those days.
"What are you busy with?"
Shen Xian was stunned, and before she could say anything, Zhong Mingyue pointed to the fox fur on her body and said, "Look, this is the fox fur made by the white fox I beat last time, I'm amazing, right?" ”
Shen Xian was pleasantly surprised: "My cousin is really amazing. ”
"You don't know, many men are not as good as me, and the saint even rewarded me! said that I don't let women shave their eyebrows, and I am a heroine among women! When she said this, her whole body began to flutter.
Shen Xian and Shen Yao glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.
Not long after the three sisters talked and laughed, soon an attendant shouted that the saint had arrived.
In fact, the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet is the same every year, Zuo is just to eat a reunion dinner first, and then play their own games, and when the child arrives, there will be a fireworks show, and they can go back to their respective homes.
This year is nothing special.
However, this was just Shen Xian's current thoughts, and Emperor Hongzheng suddenly called Shi Yanyuan out at the end of dinner.
"You are not young, and you are the future prince, this marriage can't wait any longer, all the noble girls are here today, you can have a good life."
Shi Yanyuan was not too surprised, but bowed his head: "It's up to my father to decide." ”
Emperor Hongzheng and the queen glanced at each other, then patted his knees and turned his head to look at Zhong Mingyue, who was really eating.
"The girl of the Zhong family has a marriage match now?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Zhong Mingyue's body, who puffed out his mouth, and couldn't swallow or spit out the food stuffed in his mouth.
Father Zhong hurriedly got up: "The little girl is not married. ”
Emperor Hongzheng smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "The girl of the Zhong family is not inferior to the boy in the winter hunt, I appreciate this unruly and unrestrained temperament, then I will marry the prince and the girl of the Zhong family, and they will get married immediately after the year!" ”
Shi Yanyuan thanked him indifferently, but Zhong Mingyue was stunned and didn't know what to do, or was pushed by his brother before swallowing what was in his mouth, and walked to Shi Yanyuan's side with a numb expression and knelt down and said, "Courtier, thank you Lord Longen." ”
The nobles present congratulated the two on the surface, but in fact, they were about to hate Zhong Mingyue to death.
Shen Xian frowned and looked at Zhong Mingyue, grieving for him.
"Second sister, why am I not happy to look at Cousin Mingyue?"
Shen Xian frowned slightly and sighed: "Because what Cousin Mingyue is most afraid of in this life is that there is no freedom, once she enters the palace, she will be like a bird in a cage." ”
Shen Yao didn't understand, it was the crown princess, how many women couldn't ask for a marriage.
Shen Xian couldn't help but look at Shi Ling, the person was just drinking alone, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Is this the imperial power?
No matter whose life or death it is, anyone's life can be controlled at will.
At this moment, Zhong Mingyue was extremely flustered, but she didn't dare to show half of it in front of the saint, even if she didn't want to marry Shi Yanyuan at all, but it was a holy decree, and she didn't dare to disrespect it.
What about Ling then?
At what time did Shi Ling convince himself to compromise and accept his fate?
Shen Xian's eyes were pantothenic, and she immediately staggered after Shi Ling looked over.
