Charming beauty

The news that the guardian of the country will marry Princess Yi spread to every corner of Yuedu Kingdom in just a few days.

In the early morning of the next day, when a courtier mentioned Nalan Mei's crimes, Emperor Jing Ning said lightly, "The general is outside, and the military orders are not accepted" and covered everything up.Emperor Jing Ning reversed Nalan Mei's disdain for the imperial power with a sentence: "In the current imperial power, the overall situation should also be the most important thing." In this way, Nalan Mei has no faults but seems to have meritorious service.Even if someone is dissatisfied, they can only block it in their hearts.This Nalan Mei marrying the princess means entering into the royal family, he can be regarded as half of His Majesty's son-in-law, and he and His Majesty are his own family, and the purpose of whether to resist or not is all in the words of Emperor Jingning.Now that His Majesty wants to protect him, what else do they have to say as courtiers?It is still important to be wise and protect yourself!After the common people heard about it, they were also sincerely gratified for Nalan Mei. They didn't understand the embarrassing benefits of it, they only knew that their national teacher married the princess as his wife, took root in Yuedu Kingdom, and would guard it for generations. Yuedu Kingdom guards the people of Liming in Yuedu Kingdom.

Compared to the officials who turned a blind eye and the common people jumped for joy, Prince Yuedu Tou clenched his fists suddenly: Why did the emperor still choose to win over the matter now? !

Naturally, no one answered him.After the dinner that day, Emperor Jing Ning seemed to intend for the prince to start managing the government. Almost all major and minor matters in the court would be sorted and sent to the Prince's Hall for approval by Yue Dutou, including the treatment of Yu Wushang.Then, within a few days, news came out from the Ministry of Criminal Justice that Yu Wushang had committed suicide in fear of crime. The court ministers involved in this case were also dead, demoted and punished. After several days of ups and downs, Ning Huaiqing This case is completely over.This time, Yue Du Tou was comprehensive, and his decision was like thunder, so that the ministers suddenly saw the fact that Yue Du Tou was no longer the child who was protected by Emperor Jingning, but the Yuedu Kingdom who was able to take charge of the future throne on his own. When the prince!

Yue Du Tou, who is busy, will naturally think of Yue Du'an, but he can't find time to see him. Even Chun Yuan has never stepped forward, staying in the imperial study room day and night, and can only hear something from the maid Qinxue. information.Knowing that Yue Duyu had a bad stomach after eating at the dinner that day, she kept throwing up after returning to Dongyuan. Although she has gotten better recently, she has no appetite for anything due to the symptoms of three-month pregnancy sickness, and she finally vomited after eating a little He was so thin that only a handful of bones were left, Yue Du Tou was naturally distressed, and sent an imperial doctor to take care of Yue Du's body, but he didn't know that the imperial doctor he sent was always blocked outside the Winter Garden.

Yue Duyu kept locking himself in the Winter Garden. Whether he was awake or asleep, he kept telling himself that he did nothing wrong. There is really no chance between him and Murongyou, so if the senior brother wants to live, he must live, but even though he hypnotizes himself like this, Yue Duyu looks so bleak and helpless as long as he thinks of the picture containing countless tenderness. When he saw the assistant's smile, his eye circles were red and red, and he was so distressed that he didn't know what to do.He doesn't understand, is it really so painful for senior brother to live?

In the past half month, Nalan Mei seemed to have disappeared.

The gate of the Huguo Mansion was closed tightly, and all the officials who came to congratulate were rejected from the door, even Prince Qing who came to the door in person was also rejected, and then some people speculated whether Nalan Mei was ill again, after all, Nalan Mei had been injured , the body has not fully recovered to its original state, and it is natural to take good care of the body when they are going to get married.But after staying there for several days, there was no boy from the mansion to go out to buy medicine except firewood, rice, oil and salt. Some people began to suspect that Nalan Mei was really sick?

Naturally there is no way of knowing.

The sky was fine and the clouds were thin, and the fragrance of gardenias permeated the back garden of Prince Qing's Mansion.

In the faint sound of the piano, the aroma of tea curled up like smoke. In the small pavilion where Yueduqing and Nalan Mei often played chess in the past, Yueduyi quietly plucked the qixuan. Swaying gently in the wind, the slender palm held the tip of the fine lotus leaf, as if listening to the sound of the piano seriously, but the eyebrows raised an arc inadvertently.

"Stop playing." After a long while, Yue Duqing opened his mouth lightly, his tone was as cold as frost, and he seemed very dissatisfied.Yue Duyi stopped her fingers and looked at Yue Duqing hesitantly, "Did you play well?"

Yue Duqing put down the teacup in his hand, looked straight at Yue Duyi, and said sternly, "Where did your thoughts go all morning?"

"I..." Yue Duyi lowered her head, not daring to meet Yue Duqing's eyes. She tightly tightened her dress, feeling aggrieved and anxious, "Brother, the edict has been issued for so long, brother Mei Haven't come to propose marriage yet..." There was sadness in her eyes, "Brother, brother Mei...doesn't he want to marry me..."

Yue Duqing's eyes darkened.Normally, Nalan Mei should propose marriage at the Palace of the Qing Dynasty within three days after the imperial decree was issued, but now it has been nearly seven days, and there is no movement from the Huguo Palace. He also went to inquire, but was rejected by the guards outside.Could it be that he hasn't figured it out yet?

Yueduyi suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Yueduqing's hand tightly, with tears in her eyes, "Brother, this is an imperial decree, if you resist the decree again, brother..."

"The imperial decree has been issued, so it's not up to him whether he is willing or not." Yue Duqing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm, and then he stood up, "Go back to your room first."

"Brother, where are you going?"

"... Enter the palace."

Yue Duqing dropped two words and disappeared outside the garden arch.

Yueduyi watched Yueduqing leave, but in her mind, she was thinking about why her brother is entering the palace now, is it for her, or for brother Mei, or for this marriage?Turning his eyes, his eyes slowly fell on the lyre on the stone table, and his white fingers stroked the tight and bright strings, and with a light tap, the tone was clear and pleasant, just like the person who played it many years ago. time sound.

Inexplicably, Yue Duyi burst into tears, one drop fell on the string, and another drop was shattered, "Brother Mei, I want to be your wife. , I...don't want to give up..."

"Even if you don't want to, even if you don't love me..." The corners of her mouth were curved and determined with a smile, "I won't give up." After she finished speaking, she wiped her face with a smile, sat down, and played the piano over and over again .The sound of the piano echoed in the backyard, and with the flowers and plants in the garden swaying with the breeze, it seemed pleasant to the ear and pleasing to the eye.

Huguofu.

"Is the young master still unable to eat?"

Zan was walking towards Nalan Mei's bedroom with a plate of freshly cooked meals, and met Yi who had just exited the room on the way, and saw that he was holding the meal that he brought into the room in the morning and brought out without moving. Focusing on the closed door, Zan Youyou sighed, "It's been seven days, and the young master still has no appetite at all."

Yi lowered his eyelashes slightly, "Well, you go in."

Burial pushes the door and enters.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of breathing was slightly inaudible.

The cypress reclining chair was facing the window, and Nalan Mei was lying on the cypress reclining chair. The sunlight was diffused by the leaves and quietly sprinkled on his face. He folded his hands on his stomach, and held a jasper leaf in one hand. The green color reflected his eyes. The skin on his hands was pale, he tilted his face slightly, his eyes were slightly closed, his slender and thick eyelash feathers were dyed a faint golden color, and it was hard to hide the deep exhaustion in the brows.

"Little Lord."

Zong called him softly.

On the reclining chair, Nalan Mei slowly opened her eyes, turned her face slightly to look at him, and when she saw the tray in his hand, she slowly closed her eyes again, and stretched out her hand to signal him to take it out, "Take it out, I can't eat it " But Zan didn't seem to have heard his words, and put the tray directly on the edge of the recliner, lifted the lid and added a small bowl to Nalan Mei, "Young master, even if you can't eat it, you should at least eat it more or less." Eat some."

Nalan Mei stared at him quietly, her eyelashes fluttering like butterflies, "I really have no appetite."

"Young Master." There was a plea in Zang's eyes, "At least eat a little, if this continues..."

Nalan Mei still closed her eyes, "I'm tired."

"How long does the young master want to escape?" Zhuan felt distressed, "Every time I say I'm tired, but it's been so many days, I should have had enough rest." , I can't get enough rest no matter what, why does the young master torture himself like this..."

Nalan Mei closed her eyes and said nothing, as if she didn't hear Zan's words, but Zan knew he was listening.

"Young master, the imperial decree has been issued for so long, you should go to propose marriage." There was sadness in Zan's eyes, "Young master, I know that the young master does not want to hurt Princess Yi, but this time is completely different, this is the imperial edict , the young master can no longer resist the decree..." Zan stretched out his hand to hold the hands, those hands were icy cold, as if the cold came from the bottom of his heart, and buried said sadly, "The subordinates know that the young master cannot let go of the leader, but all of them It has been many days, and the leader should know, but until now, the subordinates still haven't found out his response, so it can be seen that the leader doesn't care about you, so why bother, young master?"

Nalan Mei's lips became paler and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she was still unwilling to open her eyes.

"Young master, don't wait any longer..."

"You paid too much..."

"It's not worth it at all..."

"You go out first, let me be quiet." Nalan Mei finally opened her mouth, but she didn't say she was tired, she just wanted to be quiet, "I'm very confused, give me some time."

Zong looked at him worriedly, but saw Nalan Mei close his eyes again, knowing that Nalan Mei was really tired, so he lowered his eyebrows, "Young Master, rest earlier."

The sound of closing the door echoed softly in the room, but Nalan Mei slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the roof quietly, blankly, motionless, but he didn't know what to think.

Yes, he is tired and needs a rest.This was the excuse he made for himself again and again for the past few days.He knew that he couldn't escape, but he did it anyway. What was the reason for this?

He needs time, yes, he needs time, but what is the time for?He didn't know, he just did this subconsciously, maybe he wanted to convince himself to accept the fact that he was about to marry a woman he didn't love but loved him deeply, or maybe, just like what he said in the mouth, he was waiting for Murong, Waiting for Murong to hear the news, maybe he will come...

Heart suddenly ached, Nalan Mei clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, panting slightly, but laughed softly.

However, seven days have passed.He couldn't convince himself, and Murong didn't rush over.

If so, why did he do it?

Just for that last bit possible?

He closed his eyes gently.

Funny...

In the evening, the funeral sent another meal.

Nalan Mei was standing by the window looking at the sky in a daze, the setting sun dyed his back blood red.This time, Nalan Mei not only ate all the food, but also finished the soup, feeling relieved, but heartbroken, his young master...

"Funeral, help me prepare the dowry."

When the funeral was packed and just about to exit, Nalan Mei's voice sounded softly from behind, as gentle and gentle as before.The footsteps stopped at the door, Zan turned his head in surprise, Nalan Mei was smiling slowly, his face was blurred by the twilight outside the window, and he said quietly, "I'm going to propose marriage tomorrow."

Zan regained his senses from the astonishment, and immediately a strong sadness welled up in his chest, he nodded hastily and stepped out the door.

Nalan Mei looked at his back and lowered her eyes slowly.

The next day, just as Nalan Mei was about to go out, an imperial decree came first.

"Bong Tiancheng, my emperor's edict said: I miss the national teacher's wanderings for a long time, and it is inevitable that I will neglect my boudoir thoughts. I am deeply moved by the national teacher's affection. Here, the princess is authorized to enter the Huguo Mansion before marriage. One is to take care of the national teacher's physical discomfort. , The second is to form a husband and wife together, and in addition, to wish the teacher a new marriage, I bestow a golden dragon feather crown, a phoenix crown and a Xiapei, a hundred pieces of jade and agate, ten thousand taels of silver and gold..."

Nalan Mei quietly looked at the boxes of rewards brought into the mansion, in the transparent light, a smile could be seen on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

Fairy Lake.

Besides, about Murong You, it was a coincidence that the news of Nalan Mei's marriage had just spread from Jinyang, before it reached the Immortal Pool, Murong You had already taken care of all the trivial matters and returned to the Immortal Pool.What's even more coincidental is that at the beginning, because Mo Lian was concerned about Murong You's body, the ban on this Immortal Pool was not lifted. In addition, Murong You's trip was a bit difficult, so Mo Lian naturally didn't think of lifting it.Therefore, even though the news reached Xianrentan, it did not reach Murongyou's ears in time.

When he knew the news, it was already a month after the imperial decree was issued.

When Murong heard the news, he was leaning against the bookshelf to read a book, Mo Lian withdrew after finishing speaking, while Murong You still read the book without any expression all day long.Until sunset, Mo Lian invited Murong You to dinner.

"My lord, dinner is ready."

"En." Murong You responded lightly, then handed the book to Mo Lian, and went out first.

Looking at Murongyou's back, Mo Lian sighed rarely, just when he was about to put the book back in its original place, he glanced at it for a while, and then he was slightly stunned.

The book in his hand was actually facing him, the young master just handed it to him, logically speaking, the book should be against him...

The young master read the book all day...and actually took it down?

[Looking back, I confused the time of Jinyang and Wuliangshan, so I changed it deliberately. 】
