A Thousand Mountains and Green Daisy Section 94
It turned out that the golden hairpin was so complicated that it was entangled in her bun, and she couldn't take it off herself, and it hurt her scalp.
Pei Xiaoyuan hesitated.
She lowered her hand, turned her neck, looked back, and stopped talking, only looking at him quietly.
The moment he met her eyes, Pei Xiaoyuan knew that he couldn't tolerate any other thoughts.
It is also useless to think.
She was already waiting for him, just to ask him to remove the hairpin from her hair. He had done all the things that were so intimate to her before. How could he refuse such a small request from her at this moment.
He walked silently, came behind her, leaned down, leaned over her head, lowered his head, and untied the strand of hair that was wrapped around her hairpin.
His fingertips were rough, rubbing against her soft silky silk, but his movements were smooth and gentle, and he didn't pull her hair at all, and he helped her remove the hairpin smoothly.
"Thank you, Pei Langjun." Su Yu smiled, "It doesn't hurt at all." β
"Princess, what Ashina said is true?"
He didn't respond to her approval, but when he slowly put the golden hairpin in his hand in front of her, he raised his eyes and looked into her eyes reflected in the opposite mirror, and asked in a deep voice.
Su Yu and the man behind him in the mirror looked at each other for a moment, and the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.
"Yes." She nodded.
"I'm betting. I bet that in the end, if Wakaga is the winner, you will not be indifferent. You will stand up to stop it and save my face. β
"I won the bet."
She said, staring into his eyes.
The figure leaning above her froze for a moment, then straightened up, slowly straightened up, and took a few steps back.
"How can I, Pei Xiaoyuan, ask the princess to bother me so much!"
His expression was no longer gentle and patient when he relieved her, and although his tone still sounded restrained, his eyes were a little more sad.
Su Yu turned around on the couch and faced him.
"Pei Langjun, you are worth my effort."
"Let's put it this way, as long as I can win you, and the price is what I can afford, I am willing to try."
Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned.
"Princess, what the hell do you want to do?"
It seemed that countless words were surging under his throat at the moment, but in the end, he only asked one sentence, with a little helplessness in his tone.
"I know how you're feeling. No one likes to be forced to accept something they don't want to do, let alone the way you've done it. I have brought you here to explain to you. β
"It's all here, why don't you listen to me."
She motioned for him to take a seat, and said in a steady voice.
Chapter 91
Pei Xiaoyuan looked at her for a moment and sat down on a narrow couch opposite her.
"Indeed, as Ashina said, this big shooting salute is for you."
After he took his seat, Su Yu said.
"It was their marriage proposal that inspired me. Ashina was the first to know what I thought. I told him that you were the best person to be my colt. He was a cheerful man, and it was a pleasure to discuss with him, and he didn't hesitate to help me. β
"Lantai can't beat Chengping, so don't worry about accidents."
"Yuwen Shizi's place may have an impact on my plan, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents and reduce the variables of the day, I decided to ask him to withdraw after thinking about it again."
"In my plan, Prince Hedu is the most crucial person. So here, I think about it the most. β
"Everyone knows that the big shooting salute is actually choosing a horse for me, in case I lose the bet, you don't come, and Xifan insists that I Aya fulfill the contract, although you can excuse it, but after all, it is the first loss. He is the future king of Xifan, this person has a reckless temperament, if he has a secret grudge because of this, it is naturally not beautiful. β
"It was about heaven to help me, and just when I was hesitating about this, Yuan Shi sent a message that a cousin in Hedu took advantage of Hedu's visit to Chang'an to attempt to assassinate Hedu's father and launch a rebellion to establish himself as king."
"A few years ago, after the defeat of Xifan and the minister, several forces in the country competed for power, and Hedu's father took the throne. However, Aya was not completely reassured, and sent a consolation envoy to be stationed in the capital of Western Tibet, in addition to performing his permanent duties, he also installed eyes and ears to monitor the movements. This matter was to inform the king of Xibo in advance and assist in quelling the rebellion. The king of Xifan was old, and although he escaped a catastrophe, he contracted an illness because of it, so he summoned the capital to return to China to stabilize the situation. This news should soon be able to reach Hedu as well. So even if I lose the bet in the end, it doesn't matter if you don't want to stand up. When He Du learned about this, he would only be grateful to the court. β
"I thought it through, and I asked Aya's permission. This is the origin of this big shooter. β
Pei Xiaoyuan looked at her for a long time, a little confused.
"What are you thinking?"
Just as he was in a trance, her voice suddenly came to his ears.
He came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and met a pair of dark eyes that were staring at him.
"I'm listening to the princess." He complied.
Su Yu was silent for a moment.
"To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time." She continued.
"I chose you because I know what kind of person you are, and I can trust you completely. And the arrival of your uncle was the opportunity to make up my mind. β
"These are secondary, though. From the first day I decided to be a princess, I knew what I was going to do and what I had to do. β
She looked at Pei Xiaoyuan.
"Actually, if you don't say it, I can probably guess what you're thinking from the way you look at me."
"Pei Langjun, just now you are thinking, I am not the little lady Ye you knew before."
Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart that he was secretly being spied on.
He had been sitting upright, but at this moment, he couldn't help but move his shoulders, and said reluctantly: "The princess thinks too much." After saying that, I saw her smile.
"It doesn't matter what you think of me. Actually, it's me, and sometimes I feel like it's a dream. β
She looked around the bedchamber.
"After I recall all the old things, unless I decided not to go back to Chang'an at the beginning, I will continue to be the Ye Xuyu of the old one. As long as I come back, I can't be the same person again. β
"My feelings for my Aye are complicated. Even now, I still can't fully accept his selfishness and ruthlessness. In his heart, the first place will always be the world, the great cause of the Holy Dynasty, and anything else can give way. So, he can remember my mother and at the same time tolerate the people who murdered her. How hypocritical and contradictory! However, I have to admit that, at least, he is blameless in the matter of being a king. The imperial court was almost overturned because of the chaos at the end of Jingsheng, although he turned the tide and worked hard after ascending the throne, in exchange for the current situation, it seems that the four seas are leveling, and the prosperous era has reappeared, but what is the actual situation, Pei Langjun, you must know better than me. The feudal town Fang Bo is intertwined, the tail is big, and there is no shortage of careerists inside and outside the court. The recent mutiny of the Chen Sida brothers is just the tip of the iceberg. β
"No matter how divine I am, he is not a true god. The hidden dangers that developed under the rule of the first emperors of several dynasties finally broke out at the end of Jingsheng, and now they are only suppressed by the strong hand of my Aya, so that the careerists dare not come forward rashly for the time being. In many places that are invisible, hidden dangers are still not eliminated, and no one knows what kind of opportunity may one day cause the world to be in chaos again. And I, Aye, am old. Even if he still has great ambitions, he is no match for the reincarnation of birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, he seems to be sitting on the world, but in fact he is alone. He believes that you are a great material, and hopes that you can be the important weapon of the holy pilgrimage, and in the future, if there are waves again in the sky, you can stand up and become a mainstay like your uncle and father back then. β
"Pei Langjun!"
She called out to him and stared at him.
"Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that this world must be owned by my surname Li, you should protect my Li family's dynasty. No matter how ignorant I am, I also understand the truth of the rise and fall of the world through the change of dynasties. is Ji Zhou, the emperor of the world, and it is only eight hundred years old. β
"When I was a child, I lost my mother to the war, and my fate was changed. I can't see what the world will be like in a hundred years, and that's not my concern. I just hope that while I'm alive, there won't be any chaos in this world. In the more than ten years that I have been walking with my grandfather, except for some careerists with ulterior motives, I have never seen any ordinary people who would look forward to war. β
"Weishui passes Chang'an day by day, and the white hair will never see the sword soldiers."
This is the wish of millions of ordinary people in the world. It is even more fortunate to live in a generation where there have never been sword soldiers. β
"If the court that I have worked so hard to maintain is overturned and the order collapses, I can't imagine what kind of chaos it will lead to. So, even if I, Aye, am selfish and ruthless, I recognize him as an emperor. As his daughter, I am willing to help him as much as I can. β
"And I, of course, need a helper. Or rather, a colleague I trust completely. The identity of the colt will not only provide the greatest convenience for my comrade, but also cut off the thoughts of some people who want to win him over. β
"Pei Langjun, that's why I want you to be a colt."
As she calmly and honestly narrated, Pei Xiaoyuan's gaze at her kept changing, from annoyance and discomfort at the beginning, to slight surprise, and then to concentration. When he heard her last words, he looked at her with a complicated gaze, and was silent for a long time.
Su Yu got up from his couch at this time, came to the desk, took a tea cup, picked up the silver bottle simmering on the small stove, poured out a warm honey water, held it, walked to him, and offered it with both hands.
"Pei Langjun, please drink." She smiled.
Pei Xiaoyuan woke up, hurriedly took it with both hands, put it beside him, and was about to return the salute, but she reached over and gently pressed her shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to get up.
Pei Xiaoyuan paused, and sat back slowly and obediently.
Su Yu withdrew his hand and continued: "You are clear about the current situation of the imperial court. My Aya is not in good health, and once I fall, there will be chaos in the court. I won't hide it from you, but he hasn't told me what he plans to do about his future heir. The crown prince and King Kang are not what I want. However, he gave me a promise. So I believe that when that day comes, he will definitely make the most appropriate choice. β
"Pei Langjun, it's me who is sorry for you first."
She stopped in front of him, staring at him.
"I took advantage of your old friendship with me, and took advantage of your kindness to me, forcing you to stand up in front of 10,000 people today, and asked you to be my concubine. So, no matter how angry you are, or blame me, you deserve it. β
"Princessβ"
Pei Xiaoyuan looked at the pair of staring eyes that were close to her, and finally just smiled bitterly.
"How dare I be so rude to the princess? The princess misunderstood. It's just ......"
He couldn't speak for a while, and when he saw that she kept looking at him, he had to lower his eyes to avoid her gaze. Suddenly, at this time, another sentence of her came into my ears.
"Pei Langjun, if you think I'm forcing you to marry me, don't worry."
Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned, suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at her.
Su Yu said: "Why did you become estranged from me later, thinking that I didn't know?" β
Pei Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, his gaze wandered again, as if he wanted to speak, however, after all, once again, he still didn't say anything.
"Pei Langjun, you are an upright gentleman, forced to marry a daughter who may be an enemy, even if she is a princess, she can bring you supreme glory and wealth, how can you accept it willingly?"
"Don't worry, I won't force you to this point."
"Marriage is just a ceremony, and I won't force you to be a real couple with me. I don't need a husband. That's not why I want you to be my colt. β
"Wait until the future, one day, we will each take revenge, and fulfill our wishes, Chang'an, at that time, if it is proved that my Ayeta is indeed the culprit of the Beiyuan change that you cannot forgive, without you, I myself will have no shame to see you. When the time comes, I will stay with you, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other. I would never have asked you to spend the rest of your life carrying such humiliation. β
"Now the identity of this colt, you should be an official position."
Pei Xiao Yuanxian was completely stunned by her words.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked at her fixedly, until she called him Pei Langjun again, and then he completely woke up.
"Naturally, I am very grateful for your actions at the Great Shooting Salute today. Pei Langjun, you are really a wonderful person. In return for the way you defend me today, I want you to know that you still have a choice. β
"If you really don't want to be a lieutenant, I'll give you a chance. You can say it right now. I asked Aye to find a reason to cancel, and it wasn't impossible. β
In the end, Su Yu said solemnly.
Pei Xiaoyuan looked up slightly, looking at the woman standing in front of him with a smile and a smile, and suddenly, scenes of old things came to mind.
He first met her, and his slight heart was moved when he saw her in the county guard's mansion, and he lived for the first time in more than twenty years; Across the threshold, he recognized the faint melancholy when he recognized the woman who stood quietly in the sunset as a teenager as his righteous sister; After coming to Chang'an, I searched hard for her, and finally met her in that dilapidated inn; suspecting her identity, taking her to the dungeon for interrogation, his panic and remorse when she fainted in his arms; The Mausoleum of Empress Zhaode, she found out the truth from Zhao Zhongfang's mouth, and her grief was unbearable, and he hugged her under the secret tree and comforted her with infinite love and satisfaction......
The joy, anger, anger, and stupidity that he had never experienced before, all kinds of tastes were all caused by her.
