Chapter Seventy-Nine: Escaping Marriage
Zhong Mingyue's face was never revealed, but Shen Xian looked uncomfortable.
After today, there will be no Zhong Mingyue in the world, only the crown princess.
Shen Xian knows that imperial power is terrible, and a sentence can determine people's life and death, let alone a woman's marriage?
When everyone was ready to disperse for the banquet, Shen Xian stood in place for a long time and didn't want to leave, so Shi Ling stood with her, and it wasn't until the waiter came to invite the two to the banquet that Shen Xian came back to her senses.
Turned his head to look at Shi Ling and took the initiative to pull his hand.
Shi Ling raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Xian shook her head, pulled him around and walked towards the banquet, and said, "I just feel a little sorry for Cousin Mingyue, and her foals won't be able to wait for her anymore." ”
Shi Ling suddenly stopped, and Shen Xian was also dragged by him and couldn't move forward.
Curious to turn around, he saw Shi Ling solemnly said, "You don't have to be afraid. ”
"What?"
"I'm here, no one can force you to do something you don't like, as long as you don't hurt yourself."
Shen Xian smiled and nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, it is said that Zhong Mingyue and Shi Yanyuan returned to Ning together, Zhong Mingyue seemed to be a different person, and even chewed slowly when eating, and said that she was full after eating half a bowl.
As soon as noon came, he left again.
Ye Min was infinitely melancholy in his heart, and no one told him, so he came directly to the door to cry with Ye Hao.
"In the past, I always hoped that she would get married, but now that she is married, I don't feel good in my heart." Ye Min cried uncomfortably, and covered his face with an embroidered handkerchief.
What's more, if you are still married to the prince, it will be difficult to see each other in the future.
Ye Hao's eyes were also red, and she patted her sister's hand and comforted: "Mingyue is a blessed child. ”
Ye Min shook her head: "Before getting married, the queen mother took her away to teach etiquette in person, I was happy, but yesterday she returned to Ning, and her words and deeds became what I wanted her to become, but..." ”
Ye Hao sighed and didn't say anything more, just patted her on the back.
Shen Xian sat on the side and listened to it all, a little in a trance.
Is my cousin, a fierce horse, really tamed by the imperial power?
This thought lasted until half a month later, when Shen Xian went to Cuiyuxuan, she was suddenly pulled into a small alley, so frightened that Xiangnong thought it was kidnapped by gangsters, and was just about to call and was reprimanded: "Shhhh See who I am! ”
Shen Xian's eyes widened.
"Table..." immediately lowered his voice: "Cousin Mingyue? ”
Zhong Mingyue was dressed as a man at the moment, her ponytail was combed high, and she raised her eyebrows and threw flattering eyes at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian was stunned.
How did she run out when she wasn't in the palace?
Seeing Shen Xian's stupid appearance, Zhong Mingyue couldn't help laughing, grabbed Shen Xian and got into the Yixin Building, asked for good wine and food, entered the private room, and lay on the Tuanpu with a big grin.
What does this look like my aunt said about the rules and sensibility?
Shen Xian couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" Did you run away from marriage? ”
Could it be that the person who saluted with the prince that day was not Zhong Mingyue at all?
Shen Xian's face turned pale with fright, and she pulled Zhong Mingyue to leave, shouting: "Resisting the decree and escaping marriage is a crime of bullying the king, cousin, run away, I will arrange a carriage for you to go to the coast, it is far away, and the saint will definitely not find out!" ”
Zhong Mingyue withdrew her arm speechlessly, sat back and took a sip of tea to look at Shen Xian: "Who said I ran away from marriage?" ”
"I'm the real princess who worshipped heaven and earth."
Shen Xian couldn't understand it even more.
"Then you... How did you get out of the palace? ”
Zhong Mingyue took out the golden token from her bosom: "The prince said, as long as I am not discovered by my father and queen mother, I can come out whenever I want, and go back before the palace door closes every day." ”
"I have discussed with the prince, I will play the virtuous and gentle princess in front of the palace, and I can do whatever I want when I am alone, I don't have to follow the rules all the time."
Shen Xian's heart that was about to jump out finally fell.
It's okay, it's okay, it's not a crime.
She still wants to continue to live a life of fine clothes and fine food.
The dishes came up, Zhong Mingyue couldn't wait to stuff the meat into her mouth, she couldn't eat well in the palace these days, and she had to eat a good meal when she came out.
"And what happened on the day you returned?"
Zhong Mingyue didn't raise her head, picked up the chicken leg and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "What's the situation?" ”
Shen Xian poured her a cup of tea: "On the second day of your return to Ning, my aunt came to my mother, and said that she regretted that you had changed your appearance, and she was reluctant to let you go." ”
Zhong Mingyue grew up, and her mouth didn't swallow for a long time.
Paused: "Did she really say that?" ”
"Well, I'm crying."
Zhong Mingyue swallowed the food in her mouth and sneered: "When I was at home, I either beat and scolded me or compared me with others, I married out as she wished, or married high, she was reluctant." ”
Shen Xian: "It's not that you don't know that your mother's knife mouth is tofu heart, and you will definitely be sad when you get married." ”
Zhong Mingyue snorted: "She has a knife mouth and an axe heart." After a pause, he said: "Since the marriage decree came down, I have quarreled with her every day, and she wishes that I would marry out immediately and not get in the way of her eyes. ”
"Cousin..."
"Don't pity me, I don't pity me, drink!"
Shen Xian looked at the wine in the cup cautiously, she didn't want to make the same mistake a second time.
Zhong Mingyue said hurriedly: "This wine is not intoxicating, it is just fruit wine." ”
Shen Xian took a sip suspiciously, it was really sweet and sour, only a slight hint of wine, it should be fine.
On the street, Shi Ling's carriage was driving slowly, he had just come out of the criminal department, and he leaned on the car with a tired face and pretended to sleep.
Ah Feng: "Lord, it seems that the carriage of the Guogong Mansion is blocking the way." ”
Shi Ling opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and found that it was at the door of Yixin Building, and said, "Stop." ”
Ah Feng was stunned.
What he meant by saying this just now was not that he wanted you to go to Shen Xian, Lord Wang!
As soon as Shi Ling entered the door, the shopkeeper of Yixin Building greeted him.
Most of them are dignitaries and dignitaries, and they are all doing royal business, although Shi Ling does not come often, but he is not an ordinary person, he just wants to be a good receptionist.
"Did the prince make an appointment or have a meal?"
"Find someone."
The shopkeeper was a fine person, and he understood it in a blink of an eye, pointed to the innermost box on the second road, and whispered: "Second Miss Shen is right there." ”
Shi Ling raised his feet and was about to go to the second floor, but who knew that the shopkeeper suddenly remembered that there was not only Shen Xian inside, but there seemed to be a young man.
hurriedly stepped forward: "Do you want to call the young lady out for you?" ”
Shi Ling frowned: "No need, this king can go by himself." ”
