Only then did the concubine understand what had happened. She paused and then said slowly: "My lord, don't worry too much. If it is the emperor's wish, you can't just ignore Wanru's thoughts. Even though Wanru's thoughts are in your heart,
I have given my heart to the prince, but prince, you are not married to a matchmaker. If you want to do this, you must express your thoughts to the emperor. If the emperor insists on doing this, there is nothing you can do about it. I am afraid that I am just like my sister.
You're going to suffer." The concubine's words had a very tactful tone, which made people feel very peaceful.
"I know that when I was in front of my father just now, I was supposed to explain it clearly, but my father seemed very embarrassed, so I didn't say what I said, but delayed the time, saying that I would wait until I came back.
Ask Wanru what she means. If she agrees, she will send it to the second brother's house. If she disagrees, let's talk again! In short, it is a delaying strategy. Now that I think about it, I really hate myself. Why didn't I tell the truth about the matter? Now
Why bother to be so embarrassed? What's annoying is that when I came out of the palace, I went directly to his house. I felt sick when I saw the smoky look in his house. It seemed that if I really went there, wouldn't it be?
You will suffer the consequences alive." Mu Lianlong looked like he was deeply disgusted, which made the concubine feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the rumors outside described the second prince in that way. Everyone knew this.
"Okay, don't think so much. Let's rest first. Tomorrow, you can go to the palace again and explain the matter to the emperor. It won't be too late to refuse then." The concubine said very rationally, Mu
Lian Long also nodded, and now he had no choice but to do this first. Who made him weak at that time and did not refuse on the spot.
"Let's go and have a rest." Mu Lianlong sat up from the chair and walked inside. Suddenly he turned around and asked, "As if there is nothing to do today?"
The concubine covered her mouth and smiled, "It's so safe in the palace, what could happen? You just think too much, and you will never say what you think in your heart. I know, my lord, your heart has always been
They are all as warm as jade and take everyone into consideration, but they like to give others a cold look."
Mu Lianlong smiled bitterly, "Hey, you are the only one who knows me here. I'm not doing this to protect myself. Now there are so many princes who covet the father's throne. Before, everyone still
They are all afraid. After becoming the emperor, we have to carry on the family line. What comes with it is the strange disease of our ancestors. It is different now. They all drank the magic spell I brought from the top of the snow mountain. This disease passed down from our ancestors from generation to generation is gone.
Now that it exists, everyone has no restraints, and they all look eagerly at Father's throne. What's more, I still hold a heavy army. If I don't be careful, I will become the target of public criticism."
The concubine nodded considerately and said, "Hey, maybe I am the only one who understands your suffering, my lord. Every time I see you, there is a very melancholy look in your eyes. It is difficult not to worry about you."
"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Continuing to live well is the most important thing at the moment. Find a way to get through this. I think good times are not far away." When talking about this, Mu Lianlong's
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked out the window with a sharp gaze, far away.
At the same time, Xia Ziying was also looking at the scenery outside the window. The moonlight at night was so bright. It was shining below, as if it was covered with a silver-white coat. Looking at the scenery outside, she suddenly thought that it was in her own house.
Inside the military camp. "Sister." Ling'er suddenly appeared from behind and shouted.
Xia Ziying then withdrew her expression from the outside. Seeing Ling'er's nervous expression, she asked angrily: "What's wrong?"
Ling'er walked up to Xia Ziying and said softly, "When I was in the hall just now, I saw the prince coming back, but his expression was very bad, as if something had happened, and he was so angry.
It’s scary.”
Xia Ziying smiled, "Haha, wasn't he like this before? It's not like you haven't seen it before. What are you afraid of? Really!" Xia Ziying looked disapproving.
He tapped Ling'er's little head with his hand and said, "You are the only one who knows how to figure things out. Go and read a book. I have so many books still there, and you can't even recognize the words in them. You are better than me."
Be a little stronger, learn more, and teach me later."
Having said that, regardless of how Ling'er was sighing, he lay next to the window and looked at the moonlight outside. He recalled that when he was in modern times, when he was practicing with a group of little sisters in the SWAT brigade, how he felt at that time.
It is so happy, there are no worries, no sorrows, nothing, only the happiness between each other. Although the training is a bit bitter, it is still happy.
After thinking about it, he started laughing. When he heard Xia Ziying laughing so inexplicably, Ling'er dragged her cheeks and asked: "Sister, what are you laughing at? Is there anything good to see outside?"
"It's dark outside, what's there to read? Go read a book!" Xia Ziying said to her firmly. After hearing this, Ling'er whispered dissatisfiedly: "My lord, these books are here for you to read, not for me.
Why should I do this? It’s too much.” After saying that, he looked up and sighed, “Oh my God, why am I reading these books?”
"Hey, Ling'er, complaining is just complaining, but you still have to do what you should do. Sister, I'm waiting for you to tell me the story in the book. When the time comes, I can answer the prince's questions without letting anyone else see it.
If you laugh, your face won't be bright!" Xia Ziying suddenly turned her head and said to Ling'er seriously.
After hearing this, Ling'er stood up and suddenly walked over nervously, "Why are you not reading a book?" Xia Ziying said a little worried when she saw her like that.
"Sister, I'm here to tell you something. Recently I discovered that many people in the yard are very kind to me. No matter what I want to do, they are all rushing to help me do it. They even help me prepare food when I eat.
, Hey, don’t mention how beautiful you are. Especially that Xiaocui, she’s nicer to me, but she still asks about you from time to time. When I hear that, there’s nothing good going on, so stay away from her. I’ll get angry when I see her.
, I used to be very arrogant, but now I really look very flattering. It's really unbearable." Ling'er said while still trying to analyze.
Hearing Ling'er's words, Xia Ziying laughed. The moonlight came in and diffracted on her face, which made her look so beautiful. "You, you can't stand it when people treat you well. Really, it seems like you
It’s better to be scolded by Xiao Cui arrogantly and you’ll feel better.” After saying that, he laughed happily.
"Sister, you know how to make fun of others, so I won't talk to you anymore." After saying that, she walked to the side of the desk and continued to immerse herself in reading. Seeing her look, Xia Ziying could only nod helplessly.
Looking at the moonlight and listening to the intermittent sound of Ling'er reading, everything seems so peaceful. There is not much noise in this dark night, and it is just a quiet enjoyment.
The next day, when Xia Ziying was still sleeping, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, "Sister, sister, open the door. Something serious has happened. Please open the door quickly!" Ling'er kept knocking outside.
With.
Xia Ziying rubbed her eyes, took a look, and then shouted slowly: "Okay, stop knocking. If you knock again, the door will break. I'm getting up." She stretched and stood up.
Got up, got dressed, and opened the door.
"Squeak" the door opened immediately, Ling'er hurriedly ran in, closed the door behind her back, and said to Xia Ziying in horror, "Sister, run quickly, it's too late if you don't run. Someone will be here soon."
"
Xia Ziying looked confused. It was a bit confusing to suddenly speak like this so early in the morning. "Ling'er, are you okay? Why should I run away for no reason?" Xia Ziying asked in confusion.
"The emperor has sent someone to issue an imperial edict, saying that you will be married to the second prince!" Ling'er nervously told the matter.
After hearing this, Xia Ziying opened her mouth and asked: "Why marry the second prince? It's not Mu Hongshang. How could it be like this? How could such a good person be married to Mu Hongshang by the emperor's decree?" Xia Ziying is still in panic now.
state, she wanted to know what was going on?
"I don't know either. Early this morning, the father-in-law from the palace came and said that he was ordered by the emperor to issue an imperial edict, and the edict clearly stated that you would be married to the second prince.
Let's get ready and be ready to welcome the bride in three days. So Ling'er still thinks, sister, you'd better find an opportunity and run away!" Ling'er told the story in detail. After finishing speaking, she stared straight at
Xia Ziying looked at it.
"The prince is married? He didn't say anything?" Xia Ziying still doesn't believe that she was married to Mu Hongshang like this, and Mu Lianlong can just sit back and do nothing. After all, she is not an ordinary woman to him.
.
How could those men who kept saying that they would love them forever just let the emperor take them away from him? No, it was impossible. All of this seemed so unrealistic.
"Prince, he...he was surprised at first, but in the end he still knelt down to accept the imperial edict, and then followed the concubine back to the room." Ling'er was a little embarrassed to say it, and after finishing speaking, he wanted to help him.
He looked at Xia Ziying, fearing that she might not be able to hold back and fall down.
"Haha, he actually accepted the imperial edict. He didn't even say no. He was so willing for me to marry Mu Hongshang. Mu Lianlong, what kind of person are you? Why are you in my life?
In life, you always give me unexpected surprises, and always make me fall into despair when I get hope. Am I just a doll at the mercy of others?" Xia Ziying smiled bitterly, with a very serious look on her face.
With a crazy look, she opened Ling'er's hand to support her, then walked to the bed and lay down immediately.
Ling'er looked at her worriedly and asked softly: "Sister, are you okay?"
