Chapter 13: Love and hate in this life
In the Yongle Palace, the two women are sad, one is because their daughter is about to leave, and the other is to mourn the lost love and youth. Time is the best cure. No matter how much pain there is, time can smooth her down, but not everyone can afford that time.
Songtang
"What did you send someone to ask me to come here?" Early in the morning, Lan Ruoyan was woken up by the servant in Xuanyuanchen's yard and said that the prince had invited him. Is Xuanyuan Chen too idle or too emotional? What should I do at this time? I was disturbed by sleep, and my tone was a little unhappy.
Xuanyuanchen was obviously not annoyed by Lan Ruoyan's tone at this moment. Instead, he felt that his little daughter's delicateness was more exposed in this half-dream.
"Let's see what this is?" As he spoke, he handed a few thin pages of letter paper in his hand to Lan Ruoyan, as if he had a baby wanted to show off.
Lan Ruoyan looked at Xuanyuanchen like this strangely. It was not easy. The ice face made such a naive posture. It was rare to see it in a hundred years. While looking at Xuan Yuanchen, she took the letter he handed over.
At first, I still cared about watching Xuanyuanchen's jokes, and now I can't care about anything at all. "Is this true?! A handwritten letter from the king of Tibet?!"
Xuanyuanchen saw that Lan Ruoyan was happy and knew that she was happy for Lin'er and was also very happy. He said, "Do you think there will be fake letters in the king's hands? This is a crime of killing the head!" He deliberately said with a straight face.
"So, does the king of Tibet mind that Lin'er is no longer unclean and wants to marry the princess as soon as possible?"
"I really didn't see the wrong person, and he didn't disappoint me!" Xuanyuan Chen said with exclamation.
"I'm going to tell Lin'er this news as soon as possible, so that she doesn't have to bother!" Lan Ruoyan finished speaking happily and suddenly pulled down her face and said, "Maybe Lin'er doesn't care about this at all. I think it's better for me to go to the palace to see Lin'er."
Lan Ruoyan has also been leisurely recently. After Xue Baitao's incident, she only occasionally went to the palace to see Xuanyuanlin. Two school-age women talked and never mentioned Xue Baitao. And this time when she entered the palace, she also wanted to convey the full love of the king of Tibet for her.
The best way for a person to get out of love is to start a new relationship.
"Princess, you have lost weight again recently." Xi Niang looked at Xuanyuanlin's increasingly thin face and said worriedly. She didn't understand. It was the princess who took the initiative to kiss. Why was she unhappy? Looking at this, I'm afraid the newly made wedding clothes will be smaller again.
Xuanyuanlin didn't say anything and let Xi Niang tailor her clothes and make wedding clothes, as if a woman's once-in-a-lifetime event belonged to someone else and had nothing to do with herself.
Xi Niang sighed and shook her head and prepared helplessly. After looking down and seeing a pair of pink embroidered shoes, she looked up and saw Lan Ruoyan standing in front of her. Just as she wanted to say hi, she was stopped by Lan Ruoyan.
"You all go down." Lan Ruoyan waved his hand and whispered.
When the palace people retreated, Lan Ruoyan slowly walked to Xuanyuanlin's side and said softly, "What are you thinking about?" You can't even hear Xi Niang talking to you.
"Nothing. I just feel that all this has nothing to do with me, just coincidentally. Now it doesn't matter to me to marry anyone." He didn't take back his eyes, but replied mechanically.
"How can you think so? Linda, look at me, I believe you will find your own happiness. You should also believe it yourself and don't give up. Lan Ruoyan shook Xuanyuanlin and said that she knew her pain, but no one could help her except that she came out by herself. The king of Tibet wrote a letter saying that he would marry our Xia Qi's princess as soon as possible.
Xuanyuanlin had a momentary vibration and immediately recovered as usual. Wherever she gets married, she will be disliked by her husband. She has spent the rest of her life being disliked without extravagant.
"The prince has told her about the princess. The king of Tibet not only did not mind, but also said that as long as he could marry the princess, it would be his blessing in his life!" If you are not a sage, you can have no fault. As long as you know that you can correct your mistakes, you will be great. This Tubo man she has never met makes her admire!
"Really..." leaves a long question that there is really such a man in this world. Unexpectedly, the man who was far away in Tibet didn't care that he was unclean at all, and his heart was slightly touched.
In a blink of an eye, the team was ready to go. After worshipping her mother, Xuanyuanlin said goodbye to Xia Qi and embarked on an unknown road. The road to marriage is far away, and I don't know what it looks like.
All these plots and plots, open and secret struggles, will be made clear. However, Xia Qi is destined to be unpeaceful. There will never be more than one ambitious person. The crisis buried in the dark is waiting for someone to resolve it one by one. I can't bear to trap the wolf. Did you trap the wolf or lose the child? There is still a mountain.
After Xuanyuanlin's family left vastly, Lan Ruoyan's heart was a little empty. She didn't send Xuan Yuanlin off, but stood high in the tower and watched her walk away. Far away was the man in a blue shirt, eyebrows flying into his temples, smiling calmly and elegantly. Su Mu was appointed as the main minister to send relatives. I don't know if Xuanyuan Chen intended to arrange it. However, when he saw him go away, Lan Ruoyan felt inexplicably relieved.
She still remembers the first time she saw Xuanyuanlin, the bright and cheerful woman, holding her arm, in an intimate tone, and acting coquettishly in front of the Empress Dowager. It's just that such a carefree woman has transformed in time and life, her heart is scarred, and she can no longer find such a bright smile and no sadness.
As long as you are in the royal family, you have an inescapable responsibility, although all Xuanyuanlin is voluntary. But after this volunteer, if you don't have a broken heart, there will be no such helplessness.
In love, it is always a woman who is injured, and her heart is bruised. She also needs to take care of the feelings of the people around her and her responsibility. She sincerely wishes Xuanyuanlin to find the happiness of her life in Tubo, because this is the hope and sustenance of every woman here.
This road is her own choice. She is the only one to face it, and no one else can help her. After so many things, she is also growing up.
Love and hate are gentle and wandering around. I'm afraid that love and hate have been decided for a long time, so what about yourself? People around have a heart or a destination, and only their own heart has nowhere to put.
Is the royal palace really the destination of your life? But in the royal palace, there is also a warm and touching existence. On the day she knew that Su Mu was appointed by Xuanyuanchen to send a princess and marriage, she was going to talk to Su Mu about something. Su Mu sometimes came to the palace for a drink, and she wanted to try her luck.
"Yo! Why is the princess here? It's cold, and it's not good to catch a cold. It's not good for the prince to blame. Since Lan Ruoyan knew the two sides of Nangong Jinzhi, every time she met Lan Ruoyan, she couldn't help laughing and sarcastic.
The sarcastic words came out of Nangong Jinzhi's mouth. Lan Ruoyan frowned. How could she have the idea that the royal palace was her destination just now? With so many women, she may not be at peace here all day! I can't help thinking of the open and secret struggle in the backyard and jealousy before Xuan Yuanchen's concubine.
"The palace is so big that I am free to go wherever I love. The prince has never restrained me. It's just that Empress Ye still needs to be careful. She accidentally annoyed the prince. It's not good to go anywhere at that time. These women are all good and afraid of evil. If they are as polite to them as before, they will think that they are afraid of them.
"Now the border of Tibet is coming, even if there are princesses and relatives. But for the barbarians, the credit matter is still uncertain, I'm afraid it will come again. Our Nangong family guards the border for Xia Qi and is deeply loved by the people. Now, my third brother Nangong Jin is stationed on the border for the emperor. Even the empress dowager relies on our Nangong family, and the prince is also very courteous to us. With that, he also showed off his dress and flowers.
Lan Ruoyan has always dressed low-key and not luxuriously, and she didn't pay attention to Ye Fei's display at all.
"Yes. It's just that the princess and relatives are peaceful on the border. The world is peaceful. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Nangong. Thinking of Lin'er's marriage, her mood suddenly fell down.
Nangong Jinzhi thought that Lan Ruoyan was scared by his own momentum and was even more proud. He chattered in front of Lan Ruoyan. Lan Ruoyan didn't have the energy to quarrel with such a big and brainless woman because she was thinking about the princess.
And this scene was seen by Su Mu who came out of the yard. Su Mu frowned, and the person she felt sorry for was bullied like this, but Yaner still refused to follow her and insisted on staying in the royal palace.
Su Mu met the princess, and the princess was auspicious. Princess Ye is auspicious." Su Mu bowed her body and said.
Lan Ruoyan heard Su Mu's voice and suddenly came to her senses. Seeing Su Mu's polite alienation, she suddenly felt very unaccustomed. But when he saw Nangong Jinzhi beside him, he could only say cooperatively, "Lord Su, don't be polite. Get up."
Su Mu stood aside and was about to say something, but he saw Nangong Jinzhi looking at Su Mu all the time. I don't know the man I raise in my boudoir. The man I see every day is either my father or my brother, and the family man in the house. Xuanyuanchen is the beautiful man she has met, strong and handsome. And the one in front of him is gentle and polite, with a completely different style from Xuanyuanchen. He changed his fierce appearance and said softly, "Mr. Su is polite. You don't have to be so polite."
Seeing Nangong Jinzhi, who changed his face faster than the sky, Lan Ruoyan had to sigh. A good-looking face is also a scourge, but it also has benefits and saves a lot of trouble. Without words, it can make the shrew-like temper restrain.
"I don't know what's wrong with Imperial Concubine Ye here?"
"Ah?!" Nangong Jinzhi was a little confused by Su Mu's question. She followed Lan Ruoyan when she saw it here. This, eh? Where is this?
"This is the council room of the prince and foreign guests. Did Concubine Ye come here to find the prince?" Su Mu asked with a faint smile.
Ah? This, no, me." Nangong Jinzhi didn't know what to say, but when he thought of his current identity, it seemed that he could not come to this place without permission. "When I saw the princess here, I came to say hello."
Lan Ruoyan couldn't help but feel funny when she saw the excuse made by Nangong Jinzhi. She is free to enter and leave the palace. Xuanyuan Chen won't ask more questions, but you want to be the same as me? Ridiculous!
"Oh~! So that's it. It's just that the royal palace has rules that the family in the inner courtyard can't go to the place where the guests of the outer courtyard are. Moreover, women are not allowed to discuss politics. Mother, do you think? Su Mu reminded her with good intentions on the surface, but secretly wanted to make her bleed. She just saw her arrogant, and now her face is so submissive, and she can't help but feel good.
Nangong Jinzhi thought that she must not lose the face of the side concubine in front of outsiders and argued, "The princess can come here, and of course I can do it!" Although she is a princess and she is a side concubine, this right should be shared!
"Princess Ye's words are bad! Su Mu heard that the prince spoiled the princess, and the prince authorized the princess to enter and exit the palace without restrictions. As far as I know, only the princess has this privilege in the whole royal palace. I'm afraid that Concubine Ye..." She wanted to stop talking. It seemed that she was really thinking about Nangong Jinzhi again, and she was afraid that she would laugh secretly.
Little butterfly couldn't help covering her mouth behind Lan Ruoyan and secretly laughed.
Nang Gong Jinzhi was speechless and could only stare at Lan Ruoyan angrily. Look around, fortunately, only the wind blows and the shaking of the branches. Fortunately, few servants in the house were here, only their own personal maids. They wanted to say anything more, but they had no help, and fled with their maids.
Looking at Nangong Jinzhi going far away, Lan Ruoyan laughed. I didn't expect that Su Mu, who usually treats people gently, could teach people to be speechless in a few words, and make people feel that they are thinking of her everywhere. Such skills are really extraordinary!
Su Mu looked at Lan Ruoyan's smiling face in a daze and felt that as long as she was happy, it didn't matter what he did, and everything was worth it.
"Thank you." Lan Ruoyan turned around and said in a low voice. Xiaodie saw the situation and walked away. Leave a space for the two of them so as not to be disturbed by outsiders.
"You're welcome, I didn't do anything. It's just that I don't like some people, but smoke has a good temper. What are you thinking about?" Su Mu said.
"I just disdain to care about this kind of person, and I'm tired of more." Lan Ruoyan leaned against the railing behind him and said.
Why stay here? Don't want to follow me. You are the only one in my life, and I won't let you face these troubles. Su Mu said excitedly that she was obviously tired and didn't like to face these. Why didn't she leave? She couldn't worry about anything and couldn't give up anything?!
"I..." Looking at Su Mu's sudden affectionate confession, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. It's not that she has no feelings, but she can't bear to hurt. She also knew that the longer she dragged on, the deeper the injury. However, Su Mu can't bear to be such a good man in the world except his brother.
"What are you..." He wanted her to speak her mind and no longer care about anything.
"I heard that you are with your relatives. It's a long way. You have to be more careful." Lan Ruoyan changed the topic.
"Is that all you want to tell me?" Su Mu's eyes were dim, but she still chose to escape. He knew that there was him in her heart. Otherwise, he would not have come to see him specially after knowing that he was arranged by Xuanyuanchen and his envoy. This is Xuanyuan Chen's plan. He wanted him to calm down for a while and cool him and Lan Ruoyan, but he had to follow. Maybe he trusts himself. It doesn't matter what it is and doesn't want to explore it. He wanted to figure it out, and all he could figure out was the sincerity of the woman in front of him.
"I think you should take more care of the princess along the way. I'm worried about her..."
"I know. Don't worry, I will."
Relatively speechless, I don't know what he is talking about. Lan Ruoyan was the first to say, "Then I'll go first. Take care of yourself!"
Su Mu didn't reply, just nodded gently.
This scene was a few days later. Lin'er chose to escape from sadness and went to another land, which also required a certain amount of courage. And what is she holding on?
The wind blew at the gate, and a happy music sounded all the way. I don't know how many people's eyes will be blurred by the dust and yellow sand. Ten miles of long street, watching the lively people endlessly. With a grateful heart on his forehead, he sent the princess who calmed down the war to leave.
Ten miles of red makeup, Qiang pipe sobs. The team went away, but the song around the gate could not leave for a long time.
"What's wrong? Can't bear it?" Xuanyuan Chen hugged Lan Ruoyan's shoulder and asked.
With a far-sighted vision, the team became a drop in the sea and went away. No, it's just too much emotion.
Report! ~”
"What's going on?!" Xuanyuan Chen asked in a low voice at the top. Now the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is missing. Although the empress dowager listens to politics, there is still a royal man to rule the country. In terms of generations and talents, only Xuanyuan Chen is the most suitable. Therefore, after the princess sent to the marriage, he was recommended by his ministers as the regent.
When the civil and military officials above the hall saw a man running in confusion, they panicked and couldn't help becoming more serious, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"What's the style of panic on the hall!" Nangong Shen scolded loudly. The regent, this man shouted in the hall and asked the prince to send someone to drive him out!"
"slow! Who is your Highness? What happened?
"The regent, I am the subordinate of General Nangong. Tubo invaded, and our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses! He also asked the regent to send reinforcements to solve the danger of the border and drive the Tubo people back to Tubo!"
"What the hell is going on?! Why did Tubo still invade? I, Xia Qi, have sent the princess to show their goodwill. How can they be so ignorant?! What do you think of Zhong Aiqing?" Xuanyuan, the regent, took the first place and asked in a low voice.
"The regent, in the view of the old minister, the Tubo barbarians do not know how to teach and treachery, and must go on an expedition to fight! To promote the prestige of our country!" Nangong Shen said forcefully, with his eyes shining.
"The King of Qi is right! Conquer Tubo to promote our country's prestige!" The main battle side echoed Nangong Shen and said.
Everyone is talking about it below. Some of the main battles can't make the small Tubo country look down on our Xiaqi big country; some masters and war together, the people suffer the most are the dawn people...
