Chapter 291 Extra Story 1: A Dream and Dust Fated to a Lifetime 1
Chapter 291 Extra 1: A dream that leads to a life-long misunderstanding (1)
On an autumn night, the street was filled with rain, making the embroidered unicorn boots wet.
Xie Hangzhi is wearing a purple crane robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella. Even in the night rain, his appearance is like the moon, aloof from the world and independent.
The autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River and even the biting cold come gradually, making my heart feel itchy unconsciously.
After Princess Wu Hua came to the throne and completely eliminated Liu Yan's remaining party in the DPRK, he invited himself to visit the mountains and rivers, and went to various places as an imperial envoy to investigate corrupt officials everywhere for Shen Qingyi and his wife.
As of today, it has been a full year.
I thought that after leaving the capital and devoting myself to the officialdom, I could forget everything, but unexpectedly, when I dreamed back at midnight, the pair of eyes full of sadness and numbness in my memory still kept circling in my mind.
Every time I call her name in my dream, I suddenly wake up. My whole body is soaked in cold sweat, and I feel chilly, which is more painful than the biting cold outside the window.
Since the memory of his past life awakened, he had no idea how many days and nights like this had passed.
That day, Changjie was insulted and beaten by Meng Yi, but was accidentally rescued by a beauty.
However, before the imbalance in his heart could come to an end, Emperor Suiyuan smiled and announced in front of everyone that Prince Liang had been crowned prince.
Chu Zhengyue was also looking at her, but her eyes flickered, and the smile just now was like an illusion, fleeting.
How beautiful and arrogant is it that can have the noble Prince Linjiang refused to marry him without any concern for his face?
He was almost stunned.
Who doesn't know that the scheming King of Shu Zhao Xu and the former Crown Prince Zhao Hu both suffered losses. Everyone guessed who would be the winner, but no one guessed that Prince Liang would be the new Crown Prince.
Her eyes never lingered on him, and then she cruelly withdrew her eyes. It seemed that to her, he, the young and beautiful scholar, had never entered her eyes at all.
That night, he had a long, long dream.
At a sudden glance, she is as beautiful as a flower.
With the position of No. 1 Scholar and the appearance of Tan Hua, for a time, he was the most popular person in Beijing.
Little did he know at the time that this brief moment of curiosity would change the fate of his life.
After entering the court, he really made rapid progress. In just three months, he sat on the fourth-ranking official position and was in the limelight. Then he heard that the stunning beauty who had refused to marry the prince of Chu was marrying
The current king of Liang.
The prince of Linjiang, Chu Zhengyue.
The former prince Zhao Hu was extremely vicious, and the king of Shu Zhao Xu was ruthless. The two had been fighting overtly and covertly for many years. Officials in the court were roughly divided into two factions. But since Shen Qingyi married into the Liang Palace, their supporters were the ones who ransacked the houses.
, exiled to exile, even Zhao Xu and Zhao Hu stumbled one after another, so much so that they took advantage of King Liang.
But, is it really just beauty that she has?
He was puzzled. The moment he raised his eyes, Princess Liang suddenly turned around, pursed her thin lips, and smiled at him.
Just with this smile, his hand suddenly shook, and even the wine glass he just raised was suddenly knocked over, but he had no time to care.
Even, victory is within grasp.
Of course he recognized it.
With a body like the bright moon and a face like a crown of jade, even he, the man who threw fruits and carts, felt ashamed in front of Chu Zhengyue.
He was so arrogant and arrogant, how could he swallow this? So he sent someone to find out the whole story. Only then did he find out that it was Shen Qingyi, the stunning beauty who was rumored to be the number one in the capital, who openly refused to kiss Prince Linjiang.
The Crown Prince's proposal to marry.
That smile was different from the fleeting smile that just melted away the winter snow. It carried a subtle meaning, as if she had anticipated this outcome from the beginning.
But it was Chu Zhengyue who was separated from him.
My heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of my throat.
His appearance is indeed good, but he can't even compare to one of Chu Shizi's toes, and he is a well-known idiot. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He follows his friend Meng Yi every day to bully and dominate the market, and he is famous among the people.
The unscrupulous king".
Now, with just one glance, he suddenly realized what the words "shocked by heaven and man" meant.
Until the title on the gold list.
Shen Qingyi is still smiling.
Talented men and beautiful women looked at each other from a distance, fell in love with each other at first sight, and walked hand in hand.
This is a story that has been passed down by countless people by word of mouth. Naturally, he has also had such a dream.
It wasn't until Chu Zhengyue returned to the court for a banquet, and all the princes and their families attended, that he saw the legendary Princess Liang for the first time.
The King of Liang is the crown prince?!
At that time, he swore that if he could enter the court and become an official, be granted the title of marquis and become prime minister, he would repay Chu Zhengyue for saving his life.
Countless officials were vying to curry favor with him, and he was afraid of being the one who stood out, so although he did not reject anyone who came, he avoided seeing them. When he went out, he heard another thing that overwhelmed him, the top scholar in the limelight.
.
His hand holding the cup suddenly tightened.
I have long heard that Shen Qingyi is the most beautiful woman in Beijing, but I have always heard about it and never seen it with my own eyes.
Back then, he was just a poor scholar, but it was Chu Shizi who personally sent people to distribute the money, and even saved his family's lives amidst the turmoil of mobs burning books.
When she refused to marry Prince Chu, she thought she was arrogant, but she didn't expect that now she is marrying Prince Liang, but she doesn't even look at him!
In her eyes, is she not even as good as that idiot Prince Liang?!
However, the next moment, he realized that Shen Qingyi was not looking at him.
He heard that on the night of Prince Liang's wedding, Prince Chu drank pot after pot of wine. As night fell, he broke into Prince Liang's mansion regardless of the obstruction.
What's more, he has met Prince Chu.
At that moment, he flashed with natural disdain.
Is this really a coincidence?
No wonder they refused to marry the Crown Prince of Chu. What they wanted was a concubine with a different surname from the king. She was clearly the biological princess of the current emperor!
As for what Liang Wang Zhao Xian is, he naturally knows it.
I heard that Prince Liang ran out of the residence that night, crawling on the ground, and most of his wedding clothes were torn, but the Prince of Chu did not come out of Prince Liang's residence all night.
But the moment he saw the girl, endless pain suddenly surged into his heart. It seemed that at a certain moment, the woman in front of him fell to the ground like he did today, looking up at him in embarrassment, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
,Begging.
In the dream, he also wore the clothes of a newly crowned scholar and paraded through the streets with the ceremony of visiting flowers.
But why?
Why did King Liang become the prince?
He subconsciously looked up and saw the smile on Shen Qingyi's lips.
Distant and dismissive.
Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She just sat quietly next to Prince Liang, not saying a word, and her palace clothes, which were invisible to everyone, gave off a unique flavor. It was also at that moment that he was shocked.
It was this kind of girl who could be loved forever by Prince Chu, whom he was willing to surrender to, and yet she had the capital to openly refuse her marriage.
It was as if nothing in the world could enter her eyes.
No matter how beautiful Shen Qingyi is, if the Prince of Chu were to marry someone like this instead of marrying her, I'm afraid she would be nothing more than a loser.
It was at that moment that he suddenly understood.
Where is she climbing the dragon and clinging to the phoenix?
But the person who marries her will become a dragon or phoenix that soars into the sky.
Xie Hangzhi actually didn't like A-Yao. To put it bluntly, it was a kind of inexplicable arrogance of a scholar and an opportunity to be unwilling to accept Zheng Yue. Nian Yao was the only one who really liked A-Yao from the beginning.
