Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Ji Nianyin looked at her and couldn't help but sigh, "I've never seen someone as strange as you."

I really don't know what she was thinking. She gave up the prince who doted on her and married a poor farmer.

But at the same time, she was also a little envious that Meng Xiyue could put everything aside and just do what she wanted to do.

No matter how the outside world criticizes her, she can ignore it.

"Okay, it's time for the bride to put on the veil."

The matchmaker couldn't help but come in and urge them.

As the veil fell, all that was left before her eyes was a sea of ​​red.

She sat quietly, waiting for the groom to pick her up.

But as time passed, the wedding procession never showed up.

Meng Xiyue began to feel uneasy.

It was not until Mrs. Cai ran in breathlessly that she realized something had really happened.

"Zhang Yan was captured by soldiers."

She suddenly pulled off her veil, walked quickly forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. A large number of soldiers suddenly came this morning and took Zhang Yan away on the pretext that he was a refugee."

Refugees? Yuanqing State has a regulation that all refugees who do not return to their place of origin must report to the government.

Zhang Yan has lived here for nearly ten years, it is impossible that he did not report it.

I only heard Mrs. Cai continue to say, "The village chief went to the government to ask, and they said that they didn't find Zhang Yan's report document. The specific situation needs to be verified."

"But they just won't release him. They said they will release him when they have investigated the matter thoroughly."

Hearing such a perfunctory reason, Meng Xiyue sneered. What about the refugees not reporting? It was obvious that someone did it on purpose.

The government would find a reason to arrest someone based on a word from their superiors, and would release the person whenever their superiors gave in.

"But on this happy day, we don't know what to do?"

Mrs. Cai's face was filled with anxiety. If the government wouldn't release the people, ordinary people like them really had no other options.

"Sister-in-law, go back and tell grandma not to worry. Zhang Yan will be back safely in two days."

Meng Xiyue replied calmly, "Let's talk about the marriage after Zhang Yan comes out."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

After Mrs. Cai agreed, she left the Meng family.

"Yue'er, this...how could this happen?"

Wen was still a little confused as to how he was caught all of a sudden.

"you…"

Ji Jinyin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

No one else knows who did this, but she and Meng Xiyue know it clearly.

The only person who could have prevented her from getting married was Prince Qi.

"Mom, it's okay, I'll go out for a while."

Meng Xiyue got married in red and left the Meng Mansion.

Meng Qingxiang and others didn't know what to do, so they just let her do it.

She left the Meng Mansion and walked step by step towards the Chengshan Villa.

It took her a full hour to walk a quarter of an hour.

Seeing the tall figure standing at the door, she smiled bitterly. It was indeed him who came back.

She was only one step away from success, so why didn't you let her go?

She walked slowly in front of him and just looked at him without saying a word.

Xie Junyi reached out and held her cheek, "You look really beautiful in red."

He never knew that red could be so eye-catching, even hurting his eyes.

After a long time, Meng Xiyue finally spoke with difficulty, "I won't marry you anymore, please let her go."

"Are you worried about him?"

Xie Junyi's hands suddenly exerted force, squeezing her arms so hard that it hurt.

"He is innocent and this matter has nothing to do with him."

"He's going to marry you, how can it be unrelated?"

Xie Junyi's eyes turned bloodshot. No one knew how much pain he felt when he received the news that she was getting married.

He rode at full speed and rushed back to the capital in two days. He has not slept a wink since then.

But the first words she said were for that man.

Meng Xiyue slowly closed her eyes and said again, "Let him go."

"it is good."

Xie Junyi picked her up horizontally and walked quickly into the house.

"It's not a good day to wear red."

As he spoke, he took off her clothes. Each piece of red clothing seemed to challenge his patience.

Meng Xiyue neither obeyed nor resisted. She was like a puppet, allowing him to manipulate her.

Finally, Xie Junyi held her in his arms with trembling hands and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Don't leave me, okay?"

"My Lord, do I still have a choice?"

This time Meng Xiyue didn't cry, she was very calm.

She never had the chance to choose. Since the day she met Xie Junyi, she had no choice.

She wanted to escape, but couldn't. She wanted to love, but couldn't.

The two were like two hedgehogs. The closer they got to each other, the more hurt they would be.

But obviously, even if he was covered in bruises, Xie Junyi was unwilling to let go.

"These days, I have made up my mind. I will not allow you to enter the palace. You will live in this Chengshan Villa. When I ascend the throne, I will adopt a child from the royal family to Princess Rong An. Then I will abdicate and take you to wander around the world, okay?"

This is the best solution Xie Junyi can think of. He cannot let go of his responsibilities in the court.

Meng Xiyue did not answer him, but only asked, "Prince, if you don't marry her, will you lose that position?"

This time it was Xie Junyi's turn to remain silent. He didn't know whether he would lose.

However, this is the fastest way for him to become the crown prince, and it is also the safest way.

He had no reason to refuse, right?

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, there was no disappointment in Meng Xiyue's eyes. She already knew the answer, didn't she?

"My Lord, I am so tired."

"Then get some sleep."

Xie Junyi carried her to the bed and lay down with her. Only when he lay beside her could he feel at ease.

The two stayed in Chengshan Villa for four days, during which time they did not mention Princess Rong'an or Zhang Yan again.

It seemed like they had returned to the days when the two of them were staying in the Chengshan Villa.

The two played chess, took walks and cooked together.

On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

Xie Junyi asked her, "Tomorrow is your birthday, what is your wish?"

Meng Xiyue was silent for a moment and said.

"Your Majesty, please release Zhang Yan and send him and grandma back to their hometown."

Although I can't marry him, this is something I promised him, and I still want to help him do it.

"Okay, I promise you."

He had wanted to send the person away for a long time. Only in this way would Meng Xiyue no longer miss that person.

"Also, I will no longer have any relationship with the Meng family. Your Majesty, please do not take special care of them because of me, and do not vent your anger on them because I made you angry."

"Okay, but these are all about other people. Do you have any wishes of your own?"

It was her sixteen-year-old wish, which she hadn’t fulfilled last time.

Meng Xiyue raised her eyes to look at him and said softly, "I will tell you when the prince comes back tomorrow."
