Three hundred and forty-eight chapters stay together
"What? A messenger from the Boyuan tribe is coming?"
Everyone got excited and chatted so much that no one noticed her arrival.
Gong Yueyue did not move forward anymore, but silently retreated.
"Madam." She turned the corner of the corridor and bumped into Ming Yuexue. She looked at her up and down for a moment: "Madam, what are you doing?"
"I want them to move two screens and put them in the hall."
"Just leave this matter to me, madam, you don't have to worry about it," Ming Yuexue said quickly.
"Okay." Gong Yueyue nodded: "Then you go ahead and do it."
After Gong Yueyue finished speaking, she walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Madam, you should trust Your Highness." Ming Yuexue suddenly said.
"What did you say?"
"In such troubled times, it is really not easy to find someone who truly loves you and is devoted to you. Now that Madam has found him, she should love him and trust him." Ming Yuexue finished speaking and bowed to her.
He bowed before exiting.
Gong Yueyue stood blankly under the corridor, holding her hand on the corridor pillar and looking at the begonia flowers outside.
"Duo'er." I don't know when, Zhao Changyuan came over, stood behind her, and whispered: "What's wrong with you?"
"No." Gong Yueyue turned around hastily and looked at him: "I'm fine."
"Very good?" He raised Gong Yueyue's chin and looked deeply into her eyes: "Then why are you crying?"
"It's the wind, it's very windy here." Gong Yueyue held his hand: "Let's go back."
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Changyuan's eyes, but he said nothing. He just looked at her carefully, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked towards the inner courtyard with her.
"In two days, we will get married." Zhao Changyuan's eyes were full of joy: "By then, we can legitimately live our lives together."
"Really?" Gong Yueyue turned to look at him: "You are looking forward to being with me, right?"
"Of course." Zhao Changyuan stopped: "You know, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that being with you would be very happy. You are the person I have been looking for for so many years and have always wanted to find.
people."
Gong Yueyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, opened her arms, and hugged him.
"Do you also like to be with me?"
"Yes." Gong Yueyue hugged him tightly: "I like being with you, I like you very much."
"Then, from now on, we will stay together day and night, okay?"
Early the next morning, Gong Yueyue and Zhao Changyuan had just finished breakfast when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Ge Li, where is Ge Li?"
"My subordinate is here."
"Go and see what's going on outside."
"Your Highness, yes, His Highness has arrived. He is already outside the door now."
"Brother?" Zhao Changyuan was slightly startled: "Didn't he return to Chunyang?"
Ge Li did not answer, but turned to look at her.
"Immediately pass the order and open the door to welcome you." After Zhao Changyuan said that, he stood up and turned to look at her again: "Just stay here obediently and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"
"Zhao Changyuan." Gong Yueyue stood up and grabbed his hand: "Be careful, you know?"
"I know." Zhao Changyuan nodded, then quickened his pace and walked out.
After the door closed, Gong Yueyue sat down at the table, looking at the empty room, a trace of sadness suddenly arose in her heart - why, why is her fate always waiting, why is the happy time always so short?
? She obviously had it in her hand, but it was fleeting like the dawn. What did she do wrong?
Lying on the table, Gong Yueyue couldn't help crying.
"Madam." A voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "Now is not the time to be sad."
"You..." Gong Yueyue raised her head and saw Ming Yuexue standing aside.
"when did you come?"
"It's been a while." Mingyue Xue paused, and then continued: "This slave is cleaning the house for Madam, and accidentally overheard the conversation between Madam and His Highness."
"Really?" Gong Yueyue immediately calmed down and suppressed the sadness in her heart: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"If I were your wife, I would go out with His Highness. At least I would know what happened at the first time and I would be able to deal with it later."
"But that was all in my childhood."
"I heard that the princess back then has now become the queen of Bo Yuan. Don't you want to know the news about her?"
"Let's wait until we see Boyuan's envoy."
"Okay." Zhao Tian stood up and said, "All brothers are waiting for you in Boyuan. You must come back early."
"But -" Zhao Changyuan showed some hesitation on his face: "Yueyue and I are scheduled to get married tomorrow."
"Wedding date?" Zhao Tian was stunned: "Do you really want to get married to that woman?"
"Is there any problem with this? I like her, so naturally I want to be with her."
"In our Heiyi, although marriage has always only required the consent of both the man and the woman, you are a prince after all. What's more, now that the envoy from Boyuan is visiting..."
"It doesn't have anything to do with it." Zhao Changyuan said calmly: "Tomorrow I will go to the temple with Yueyue to worship, and then I will take her back to Chunyang. By then, she will be my legitimate wife, and naturally no one will say anything.
"
"You -" Zhao Tian frowned high and his expression became serious: "Brother Wang, you have to think clearly. There are some things that there is no room for regret."
"I know." Zhao Changyuan's tone was very calm: "I have decided on this matter. No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them myself!"
Seeing his resolute expression, Zhao Tian knew in his heart that there was no room for return, so he just sighed and walked away.
Standing quietly in the hall, Zhao Changyuan was covered in ice. It could be seen that his mind was also very heavy.
"Your Highness." Gong Yueyue walked over, put her hands under his armpits, folded them on his chest, and pressed her cheek against his back, hoping that this way could relieve his sadness.
"Don't worry." Although his eyes were staring straight ahead, his words were clear: "No matter what happens, I will bear it with you."
After saying that, he turned around and said, "Now, let's put on the wedding attire tomorrow and prepare to go to the temple tomorrow. Come!"
"I'm here!" This time it was Cha Mu who walked in from the door.
"You?" Zhao Changyuan was obviously a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "Where is Ge Li? Where did Ge Li go?"
"Back to Your Highness, Ge Li... left with His Highness."
"What?" Zhao Changyuan's face changed slightly: "Why should he transfer my prince's people away?"
"His Highness said that he was following the king's will."
"It's the king..." Zhao Changyuan thought for a moment: "What about Zhuo Chen, Huo Yun and the others?"
"They are also not in the mansion."
"Then go and call everyone in the mansion. I have something to give you!"
"Yes!" Ge Li nodded in agreement, turned around and walked away. After a while, he called everyone over and stood in the courtyard.
"Duo'er." Zhao Changyuan turned to look at Gong Yueyue with warm eyes: "Tomorrow is a great day for both of us. No matter what it means to other people, it is very important to us two. You
Come with me and pick a few people you like."
Following Zhao Changyuan, Gong Yueyue walked out of the room and saw that the courtyard was full of people, but most of them were servants, maids, and cooks.
Her eyes slowly swept across the faces of these people - God had arranged for her to meet them, and she didn't know whether her appearance was good or bad for them.
"Mom, I'm afraid." A little girl's cry suddenly sounded in the crowd, and then a woman comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, ah, Honghong, don't be afraid."
Gong Yueyue slowly walked down the steps, walked straight to the woman, and looked down at the child beside her.
"Madam." There was a hint of fear in the woman's eyes, and she quickly pulled the little girl behind her: "She is just an ignorant child. Please don't punish her, madam."
"I won't blame her." Gong Yueyue smiled slightly and tried her best to soften her expression: "Are you a maid?"
"No." The woman shook her head: "This slave is just a cook, and she usually does some odd jobs."
"Yes." Gong Yueyue nodded: "You and Ming Yuexue will come to the backyard together later."
She picked several people in succession, then returned to the steps and looked at Zhao Changyuan: "Everyone has been chosen."
"Have you chosen everything?"
"Um."
"Okay, everyone is gone, just do whatever you need to do."
Everyone dispersed, Gong Yueyue and Zhao Changyuan retreated into the backyard, and she found a cloak for him to put on: "If you still have something important to do, just do it."
"There are indeed some things that need to be arranged. I'll ask the kitchen to make something light for dinner."
Shortly after Zhao Changyuan left, Ming Yuexue took a dozen of her chosen people into the backyard and lined up under the shade of the trees.
Gong Yueyue asked Mingyue Xue to put a chair in the courtyard, and sat down firmly, holding a tea cup in her hand. She didn't raise her head until she finished a cup of tea, and looked at them steadily: "Now, you all come up one by one.
Before you go out, you must declare your family name and who is in your family. You must not hide it, you know?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"let's start."
It took about an hour before Gong Yueyue roughly figured out the details of the people in front of him.
She has always been unruly. Even when she was in the palace of the Minister, her mother took care of all the big and small things in the family, and she never had to worry about it. Therefore, before the age of sixteen, although she was considered smart, she was mostly indifferent.
He devoted all his energy to poems and songs, but never thought about people's hearts, let alone understood that if he wanted to accomplish something, he would have to worry about so many things.
It wasn't until she entered the harem and escaped the protection of her family that she finally experienced all the hardships in the world and realized the ghosts, deceit, insidiousness, and snobbishness of people's hearts.
Power.
It was completely unfamiliar to her before, and she didn't want to go too deep into it, but in the harem, without power, you could only be bullied everywhere, and even lose your life. (To be continued)
