The princess is dying soon [Rebirth]
Chapter 2
When Rong Chengjin walked into the room, Rou Xing quickly took off her cloak.
She smiled and asked the girl in the room: "Did my cousin come over? When did you come?"
"Back to Princess, Prince Zhao has been here for about an hour." The maidservant in the room replied politely.
Rong Chengjin nodded, then sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Rou Xing to dress her up, after all, she could never meet guests with her current appearance.
Rou Xing has always been aware of her princess's careful thoughts. The youngest daughter is about to meet her sweetheart, so she has to dress up well. She lowered her head and smiled, thinking that she must do her best. In this way, Prince Zhao will see her Seeing that the beautiful princess is happy, the princess's heart is also sweet.
Thinking in this way, as soon as she picked up the comb, Rong Chengjin said lightly: "Don't bother, just keep it simple and casual."
ah?Rou Xing was slightly taken aback.
Rong Chengjin looked up at her and said, "Let me just keep it simple."
Just for the sake of a mere cousin, she spent all her time on dressing up, trying to look the most beautiful every time she appeared in front of him. Such a little daughter thought that she was infinitely beautiful at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she just wants to look beautiful. I feel a little funny to my immature self.
Hearing this, Rou Xing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but although she was surprised by the princess's sudden change, she didn't say anything, anyway, as long as she obediently obeyed the princess' orders.
When Rong Chengjin entered the front hall, Zhao Xiyang, who was on pins and needles, was about to die of embarrassment.
Rong Chengjin stepped forward to give Rui Wang Rourou a blessing, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "I have seen Daddy."
King Rui nodded and turned cold, and reprimanded: "Where are you going crazy again? Your cousin has been waiting for you here for a long time. In such a cold day, you should not pay attention. If you freeze what to do?"
Although the tone sounded very harsh, it was full of concern inside and outside the words.
Therefore, Rong Chengjin was not afraid at all, instead he smiled at his father, making King Rui turn his head away again.
Then, she turned her head to look at Zhao Xiyang. Zhao Xiyang's handsome face was the same as before, but it could no longer make her heart flutter.
She smiled and asked, "Why is Cousin Suiyang here? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
Zhao Xiyang liked her in his heart, and he was so happy when he saw her. At this time, seeing her smile, he was even more out of his mind. He put down the teacup in his hand, and said quickly: "I will be here soon, cousin Sit down, are you feeling better?"
Seeing his attentive appearance, Rong Chengjin was slightly absent-minded.
It has been so long since she has seen her cousin like this, so much so that she almost forgot that her cousin used to be a boy who would blush when he saw her, and followed her all day , Cousin shouted.
It would be great if they would not change and would always be the same as when they were teenagers.
"Cousin, what's the matter with you!" Zhao Xiyang called out again when he saw that she was distracted.
Rong Chengjin came back from his thoughts in an instant, and said, "Cousin, did you come to see me on purpose?"
It was only then that Zhao Xiyang remembered his reason for coming, and he couldn't help complaining: "It's long overdue, my mother is really, every day she knows how to use homework to suppress me, and won't let me come to see you, me, but it's okay It’s easy to steal this free time, cousin, tell me, why do I have to read so many books, I’m not like those poor students, the only way out is to study, I will have many ways in the future, I still want to be like my father Just like my grandfather, go to fight Beili and make military achievements! Why bother..."
He was chattering endlessly, but King Rui's expression became more and more unsightly, "Xi Yang!"
Seeing his uncle and future father-in-law suddenly opened his mouth, Zhao Xiyang quickly fell silent. He curled his lips slightly, and then secretly looked in Rong Chengjin's direction. Seeing that Rong Chengjin was also looking back at him, his heart ached. As soon as he moved, he began to wink and convey his lovesickness to her with his eyes.
Naturally, King Rui had seen such young tricks a lot. He looked at them, sighed softly, and continued: "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. This military exploit is not so easy to establish." , or, do you actually want to just rely on your father and mother like this, and be a profligate playboy for the rest of your life?"
The matter between these two people, if he and Huaiqinghou had not agreed long ago, it would not hurt the harmony of the two families, and this kid also really likes his sick daughter, and his own daughter is very fond of him. Because of intentions, he probably didn't want such a disappointing son-in-law at all.
Zhao Xiyang is very good at acting, and when he heard what King Rui said, he quickly admitted his mistake and said: "Uncle learned the lesson well, Xiyang knew his mistake, because Xiyang knew that his cousin was ill, and he missed her cousin so much and couldn't come to visit in time, I was anxious and angry in my heart, and I just said such stupid things, and I will never be like this again in the future."
If King Rui would really believe his nonsense, he would be out of trouble, but he didn't bother to care about it. Seeing that the eyes of these two people were about to glue together, he didn't intend to continue to stick between them like this, so as not to cause trouble Heart.
With a sullen face, he said slowly: "Xiao Jin, it's rare for Xiyang to come here, so you can take Xiyang for a walk."
The daughter has grown up, and she can't keep it anymore.
Zhao Xiyang was once a person who would come here at least seven or eight times a month. He had visited the entire palace, and he was very familiar with it. There was no need to go, but since he was accompanied by his favorite cousin, he thought, let's go. It doesn't matter for three days and three nights.
Therefore, when he heard King Rui say that, he suddenly felt liberated, he retreated politely to King Rui, and quickly followed Rong Chengjin, and walked out the door.
"Cousin, Uncle Rui Wang is really getting more and more fierce now." While walking, Zhao Xiyang still turned his head and complained to Rong Chengjin.
In the end, Rong Chengjin didn't look at him, didn't respond to his words, just walked quietly, Zhao Xiyang also reacted belatedly at this time, complained about his father's wrong in front of his sweetheart, and then quickly shut up.
After a while, the two walked into the Tinglan Water Pavilion by the lake together. Zhao Xiyang had just sat down opposite Rong Chengjin, and was about to say something, but before he could speak, Rong Chengjin said lightly: " Cousin, I have a few words to say to you."
"What?" Zhao Xiyang looked at her with a little anticipation. Their childhood sweethearts grew up, and they were young lovers who were in love with each other. It's been a long time since they saw each other. He has a lot of whispers that he wants to say to his cousin. Come to think of it, so does her cousin That's it.
Rong Chengjin pursed her lips, and looked straight at Zhao Xiyang with her eyes.
Looking at the youthful appearance of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating, she still sighed and said, "Cousin, your marriage to me is just a joke. Just let it go, it's just a matter of saying."
This is about the first time in so many years that she has said such decisive words to him.
"Aha?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyang, who was still smiling at first, was suddenly dumbfounded. He was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Cousin, when did you learn from others and make jokes like this with me? Teacher Rou Xing your?"
Rong Chengjin smiled wryly, and said: "When have I ever joked with you? Anyway, this is just a verbal marriage contract. It's convenient to cancel it now that everything has not been really settled."
After finishing speaking, Rong Chengjin paused, and said again: "My cousin also knows that I am destined not to live for a few years. For so many years, all kinds of rare medicinal materials have been sent to the palace like flowing water, but my body has It has never been good, so why should I delay you, what's more, I also know that Princess Nanping doesn't like me all the time, she must be very happy if this marriage is over."
Yes, I don't like it, I never liked it, after all, which mother would be happy for her son to marry a sick young man who would collapse in a strong wind as his wife.
If it wasn't for Zhao Xiyang's love for her, both her father and the empress doted on her, her maternal ancestral family should not be underestimated...
How could the honorable princess of Nanping be forced to agree to this marriage?
For Zhao Xiyang, she used to please Princess Nanping in every possible way, but in the end, what was the result she got?
In the four years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although the proud Nanping princess has never frustrated her, she has never had a good face in front of her. It was a joke, and she died in the end, and Nanping Princess secretly thought that it was unlucky for her to make such a fuss on Huaiqinghou's fiftieth birthday. Alligator tears.
Thinking of her innocence and foolishness in her previous life, Rong Chengjin couldn't help feeling sour. If she had never experienced this and was always the innocent little girl back then, how wonderful it would be.
Of course, Zhao Xiyang didn't know how sincere Rong Chengjin's sentence of voiding the marriage contract was because Rong Chengjin had thought about it for just such a moment.
On the contrary, after hearing Rong Chengjin's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He grabbed Rong Chengjin's hand, exerted a little force, and Rong Chengjin couldn't break free.
"Cousin, are you blaming me for being blocked by my mother and not being able to come to see you immediately? Are you angry? That's right, it's really my fault, and it won't be like this in the future. Go over the wall and drill a dog hole, I will come to you, don't worry."
After finishing speaking, he paused, and then said: "Cousin, after all these years, you have always understood my heart, can you not care about her thoughts? The person who lives is me, not her. You have no right to meddle in my marriage..."
What a naive speech.
Rong Chengjin exerted all his strength in his hand, trying hard to break away from his warm hand, but he still couldn't do it.
She still remembers the same pair of hands on the day they got married, tightly pulling her into Huaiqinghou's mansion, it was so warm and firm, she originally thought that this person would be her lifelong support...
But now, she only had disgust in her heart.
She sighed, and said softly: "Cousin, can you let go first and then talk?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyang quickly let go, he lowered his head, apologized to her guiltily and slowed down his voice: "I'm sorry, cousin, I just... I just..."
After all, Rong Chengjin had never said anything as serious as retiring the engagement. On the contrary, she was looking forward to marrying Zhao Xiyang, which has always been like this...
Rong Chengjin turned his head to look at the pattering rain, and said, "Cousin, you and I are actually not suitable, are we?"
Zhao Xiyang couldn't help the blood surging in his heart, he stood up abruptly and said, "Don't mess around!"
Whether this fits or not, how can she count on what she says alone!
However, when he looked at Rong Chengjin who had a plain expression in front of him, his excited heart gradually became empty.
"Cousin, don't ever say that, okay? No one can do it except you. Besides, didn't you say you would be my bride since you were a child?"
Why, he suddenly changed his mind...
Seeing his lost appearance, Rong Chengjin lost his mind for a moment.
When did you say all this?
When he climbed up a tree to fetch her a kite and nearly fell?Or was it after he had a big fight with the eldest son of the Guangdingbo family who bullied her in order to stand out for her?Or, when the two of them sneaked out to the temple fair, when he put his cloak on her with a straight face...
This person who was not a few months older than her once protected her like a treasure, and such memories are indeed too many.
As for "to be my cousin's bride", she has probably said it many times sincerely. She has not met many men, and her cousin has always been the best one among them. With a good family background, a handsome face, and treated her very well, it was hard for her not to be tempted and dependent...
Rong Chengjin said indifferently: "At that time, you and I were still children, talking childishly, why did you take it seriously?"
"Cousin! How can you teach me not to take it seriously?" Seeing her indifferent expression, Zhao Xiyang became even more excited, "Cousin, I just take it seriously. My biggest wish in this life is to marry you as my wife. I will never marry you for the rest of my life." Separation, is it true that the friendship between you and me for so many years is all fake?"
His young heart was as hot as a burning furnace right now.
Hearing this, Rong Chengjin couldn't help laughing.
really?She used to be as serious as him, but the final result broke her heart so much. When that scene appeared in front of her, her whole body was aching and cold. Her heart, It has never hurt so much before, from the breastbone all the way to her stomach...
She was in pain for a whole day and night, and when the pain was over, her body died, and her heart also died.
Therefore, no matter how affectionate he is this time, she will never make the same mistake again.
"Cousin, I'm tired, please go back." She turned her head and said.
"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you, don't tell me... are you really so heartless? So disregarding our relationship over the past ten years?" Zhao Xiyang looked at her sadly.
Hearing his sad tone, and this nickname that he would whisper in the past only when he was in the ear, Rong Chengjin was moved for a moment, but it was only moved.
"Cousin, do you know? When I first went out today, it was still sunny and the sun was shining brightly. As a result, it started to rain in just half an hour."
She looked at Zhao Xiyang's puzzled eyes, and said slowly: "Cousin, God is fickle, let alone people's hearts."
After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Xiyang, her voice was still so soft, but her tone was so firm: "Cousin, I am no longer that little girl who relies on my brother, do you understand?"
Rong Chengjin has never been a procrastination person. In the past, she thought too much and had too many scruples. But now, she has died once from body to heart. The Zhao family has nothing to worry about anymore. It affected her place, so she walked very simply, no matter what her cousin said behind her, she never looked back once.
After she returned to the front hall full of thoughts, the first thing she did was to kneel down towards Rui Wang Yingying.
Seeing her kneeling suddenly, her small face was still pale and bloodless, King Rui couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong with you? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
But Rong Chengjin shook his head and said: "Father, I want to ask you, can you let go of the matter between me and my cousin?"
Her voice was small, but every word was resounding, several people in the hall were shocked, and among them, especially the father Rui Wang.
If Rong Chengjin hadn't liked her in his heart, King Rui might not have agreed to this matter at the beginning, even though Rong Chengjin was never such a perfect girl, and she was still weak, but in King Rui's heart, she was the best girl in the world , that unbelievable kid is naturally not good enough for her...
But now, the whole capital of this marriage is well aware of it, and it is only a matter of one day that it will be formally settled, so why not mention it at this time?
Could it be that the Zhao family boy said something bad to her, which made the girl feel unhappy and lose her temper?
Seeing that his father was silent, Rong Chengjin was afraid that he would think too much, and said: "There is no exchange of documents, this so-called marriage is just a joke, you can go to the uncle in the same hall and tell them, cousin, I have already Told him."
"What did you say?" King Rui asked in surprise.
Rong Chengjin smiled slightly, and said: "I said, I have just told my cousin that my marriage with him is over."
Seeing her smiling face, King Rui wanted to scold her for not being ashamed, for even talking about her marriage with a man, how decent it is, but when the words came to his lips, he really couldn't bear it.
He has always held this girl in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. He has never been willing to move a finger in his life. At this time, how can he be willing to say no to her? Swallow it back.
In the end, the thousands of words in his heart were all turned into one sentence: "You get up first and then talk, that dead boy, why did he provoke you?"
Seeing his pale face, Rong Chengjin felt that he almost agreed, so she was reluctant to let herself suffer any longer. After being helped by the maid, she sat down very intimately under King Rui.
"I had a nightmare some time ago. I dreamed that he was my nemesis, and he would kill me sooner or later."
"Nonsense!" King Rui reprimanded, "When did you start to believe this?"
Rong Chengjin lowered her head aggrievedly. She naturally didn't believe in anything before, but she experienced even more strange things, and now she believes in gods and ghosts whatever you tell her.
Seeing that this argument didn't seem to work anymore, Rong Chengjin had no choice but to say again: "Of course my cousin didn't provoke me, but I've thought about it a lot these days, and I found that I always only regard him as my brother in my heart. You Say, which younger sister would marry an elder brother? Not everyone is the legendary Fuxi Nuwa, in my opinion, marrying me to him is no different from marrying my eldest brother."
"What do you call that?" King Rui was also a little displeased, how could an unmarried girl even make such an analogy that violated human relations.
"Of course it's the truth." Rong Chengjin said, in her eyes, her father was probably a paper tiger, no matter how fierce he looked, he would break if poked.
"Anyway, that's what I think in my heart. Besides, the Princess Nanping doesn't like me at all. If I really marry, I will definitely suffer."
If it was the first, King Rui was still a little hesitant, but after hearing this sentence, his whole thinking was almost brought over by Rong Chengjin.
Although the cousin-in-law loves Rong Chengjin very much, his cousin, because of her overcompetent father, has always been extremely proud and arrogant, and treats her precious son like some kind of sweet potato. Yes, he has always been critical of his sickly daughter, although she has never shown it so clearly, but King Rui has always loved his daughter, so naturally he can see some clues.
It's just that his bear daughter is determined to hang herself on Zhao Xiyang's crooked neck tree. He is angry with her, pities her, and worries about her, but there is really nothing he can do about her.
Even at this time, when he heard his daughter's words, although he had already agreed in his heart, he still had some doubts whether his daughter was just saying something out of anger.
He was afraid that his daughter would regret it one day, so he still didn't express any attitude, but said to her: "Girl, this is a major matter for your marriage, you should think about it carefully."
Rong Chengjin was not in a hurry to know her father, so she didn't continue to discuss these things. Anyway, she didn't feel that she could solve everything with her own mouth. She suddenly said these things today because she just wanted to It's all for them to find out, whether they are sincere or not, you will see for yourself in the future.
She smiled and asked the girl in the room: "Did my cousin come over? When did you come?"
"Back to Princess, Prince Zhao has been here for about an hour." The maidservant in the room replied politely.
Rong Chengjin nodded, then sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Rou Xing to dress her up, after all, she could never meet guests with her current appearance.
Rou Xing has always been aware of her princess's careful thoughts. The youngest daughter is about to meet her sweetheart, so she has to dress up well. She lowered her head and smiled, thinking that she must do her best. In this way, Prince Zhao will see her Seeing that the beautiful princess is happy, the princess's heart is also sweet.
Thinking in this way, as soon as she picked up the comb, Rong Chengjin said lightly: "Don't bother, just keep it simple and casual."
ah?Rou Xing was slightly taken aback.
Rong Chengjin looked up at her and said, "Let me just keep it simple."
Just for the sake of a mere cousin, she spent all her time on dressing up, trying to look the most beautiful every time she appeared in front of him. Such a little daughter thought that she was infinitely beautiful at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she just wants to look beautiful. I feel a little funny to my immature self.
Hearing this, Rou Xing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but although she was surprised by the princess's sudden change, she didn't say anything, anyway, as long as she obediently obeyed the princess' orders.
When Rong Chengjin entered the front hall, Zhao Xiyang, who was on pins and needles, was about to die of embarrassment.
Rong Chengjin stepped forward to give Rui Wang Rourou a blessing, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "I have seen Daddy."
King Rui nodded and turned cold, and reprimanded: "Where are you going crazy again? Your cousin has been waiting for you here for a long time. In such a cold day, you should not pay attention. If you freeze what to do?"
Although the tone sounded very harsh, it was full of concern inside and outside the words.
Therefore, Rong Chengjin was not afraid at all, instead he smiled at his father, making King Rui turn his head away again.
Then, she turned her head to look at Zhao Xiyang. Zhao Xiyang's handsome face was the same as before, but it could no longer make her heart flutter.
She smiled and asked, "Why is Cousin Suiyang here? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
Zhao Xiyang liked her in his heart, and he was so happy when he saw her. At this time, seeing her smile, he was even more out of his mind. He put down the teacup in his hand, and said quickly: "I will be here soon, cousin Sit down, are you feeling better?"
Seeing his attentive appearance, Rong Chengjin was slightly absent-minded.
It has been so long since she has seen her cousin like this, so much so that she almost forgot that her cousin used to be a boy who would blush when he saw her, and followed her all day , Cousin shouted.
It would be great if they would not change and would always be the same as when they were teenagers.
"Cousin, what's the matter with you!" Zhao Xiyang called out again when he saw that she was distracted.
Rong Chengjin came back from his thoughts in an instant, and said, "Cousin, did you come to see me on purpose?"
It was only then that Zhao Xiyang remembered his reason for coming, and he couldn't help complaining: "It's long overdue, my mother is really, every day she knows how to use homework to suppress me, and won't let me come to see you, me, but it's okay It’s easy to steal this free time, cousin, tell me, why do I have to read so many books, I’m not like those poor students, the only way out is to study, I will have many ways in the future, I still want to be like my father Just like my grandfather, go to fight Beili and make military achievements! Why bother..."
He was chattering endlessly, but King Rui's expression became more and more unsightly, "Xi Yang!"
Seeing his uncle and future father-in-law suddenly opened his mouth, Zhao Xiyang quickly fell silent. He curled his lips slightly, and then secretly looked in Rong Chengjin's direction. Seeing that Rong Chengjin was also looking back at him, his heart ached. As soon as he moved, he began to wink and convey his lovesickness to her with his eyes.
Naturally, King Rui had seen such young tricks a lot. He looked at them, sighed softly, and continued: "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. This military exploit is not so easy to establish." , or, do you actually want to just rely on your father and mother like this, and be a profligate playboy for the rest of your life?"
The matter between these two people, if he and Huaiqinghou had not agreed long ago, it would not hurt the harmony of the two families, and this kid also really likes his sick daughter, and his own daughter is very fond of him. Because of intentions, he probably didn't want such a disappointing son-in-law at all.
Zhao Xiyang is very good at acting, and when he heard what King Rui said, he quickly admitted his mistake and said: "Uncle learned the lesson well, Xiyang knew his mistake, because Xiyang knew that his cousin was ill, and he missed her cousin so much and couldn't come to visit in time, I was anxious and angry in my heart, and I just said such stupid things, and I will never be like this again in the future."
If King Rui would really believe his nonsense, he would be out of trouble, but he didn't bother to care about it. Seeing that the eyes of these two people were about to glue together, he didn't intend to continue to stick between them like this, so as not to cause trouble Heart.
With a sullen face, he said slowly: "Xiao Jin, it's rare for Xiyang to come here, so you can take Xiyang for a walk."
The daughter has grown up, and she can't keep it anymore.
Zhao Xiyang was once a person who would come here at least seven or eight times a month. He had visited the entire palace, and he was very familiar with it. There was no need to go, but since he was accompanied by his favorite cousin, he thought, let's go. It doesn't matter for three days and three nights.
Therefore, when he heard King Rui say that, he suddenly felt liberated, he retreated politely to King Rui, and quickly followed Rong Chengjin, and walked out the door.
"Cousin, Uncle Rui Wang is really getting more and more fierce now." While walking, Zhao Xiyang still turned his head and complained to Rong Chengjin.
In the end, Rong Chengjin didn't look at him, didn't respond to his words, just walked quietly, Zhao Xiyang also reacted belatedly at this time, complained about his father's wrong in front of his sweetheart, and then quickly shut up.
After a while, the two walked into the Tinglan Water Pavilion by the lake together. Zhao Xiyang had just sat down opposite Rong Chengjin, and was about to say something, but before he could speak, Rong Chengjin said lightly: " Cousin, I have a few words to say to you."
"What?" Zhao Xiyang looked at her with a little anticipation. Their childhood sweethearts grew up, and they were young lovers who were in love with each other. It's been a long time since they saw each other. He has a lot of whispers that he wants to say to his cousin. Come to think of it, so does her cousin That's it.
Rong Chengjin pursed her lips, and looked straight at Zhao Xiyang with her eyes.
Looking at the youthful appearance of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating, she still sighed and said, "Cousin, your marriage to me is just a joke. Just let it go, it's just a matter of saying."
This is about the first time in so many years that she has said such decisive words to him.
"Aha?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyang, who was still smiling at first, was suddenly dumbfounded. He was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Cousin, when did you learn from others and make jokes like this with me? Teacher Rou Xing your?"
Rong Chengjin smiled wryly, and said: "When have I ever joked with you? Anyway, this is just a verbal marriage contract. It's convenient to cancel it now that everything has not been really settled."
After finishing speaking, Rong Chengjin paused, and said again: "My cousin also knows that I am destined not to live for a few years. For so many years, all kinds of rare medicinal materials have been sent to the palace like flowing water, but my body has It has never been good, so why should I delay you, what's more, I also know that Princess Nanping doesn't like me all the time, she must be very happy if this marriage is over."
Yes, I don't like it, I never liked it, after all, which mother would be happy for her son to marry a sick young man who would collapse in a strong wind as his wife.
If it wasn't for Zhao Xiyang's love for her, both her father and the empress doted on her, her maternal ancestral family should not be underestimated...
How could the honorable princess of Nanping be forced to agree to this marriage?
For Zhao Xiyang, she used to please Princess Nanping in every possible way, but in the end, what was the result she got?
In the four years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although the proud Nanping princess has never frustrated her, she has never had a good face in front of her. It was a joke, and she died in the end, and Nanping Princess secretly thought that it was unlucky for her to make such a fuss on Huaiqinghou's fiftieth birthday. Alligator tears.
Thinking of her innocence and foolishness in her previous life, Rong Chengjin couldn't help feeling sour. If she had never experienced this and was always the innocent little girl back then, how wonderful it would be.
Of course, Zhao Xiyang didn't know how sincere Rong Chengjin's sentence of voiding the marriage contract was because Rong Chengjin had thought about it for just such a moment.
On the contrary, after hearing Rong Chengjin's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He grabbed Rong Chengjin's hand, exerted a little force, and Rong Chengjin couldn't break free.
"Cousin, are you blaming me for being blocked by my mother and not being able to come to see you immediately? Are you angry? That's right, it's really my fault, and it won't be like this in the future. Go over the wall and drill a dog hole, I will come to you, don't worry."
After finishing speaking, he paused, and then said: "Cousin, after all these years, you have always understood my heart, can you not care about her thoughts? The person who lives is me, not her. You have no right to meddle in my marriage..."
What a naive speech.
Rong Chengjin exerted all his strength in his hand, trying hard to break away from his warm hand, but he still couldn't do it.
She still remembers the same pair of hands on the day they got married, tightly pulling her into Huaiqinghou's mansion, it was so warm and firm, she originally thought that this person would be her lifelong support...
But now, she only had disgust in her heart.
She sighed, and said softly: "Cousin, can you let go first and then talk?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyang quickly let go, he lowered his head, apologized to her guiltily and slowed down his voice: "I'm sorry, cousin, I just... I just..."
After all, Rong Chengjin had never said anything as serious as retiring the engagement. On the contrary, she was looking forward to marrying Zhao Xiyang, which has always been like this...
Rong Chengjin turned his head to look at the pattering rain, and said, "Cousin, you and I are actually not suitable, are we?"
Zhao Xiyang couldn't help the blood surging in his heart, he stood up abruptly and said, "Don't mess around!"
Whether this fits or not, how can she count on what she says alone!
However, when he looked at Rong Chengjin who had a plain expression in front of him, his excited heart gradually became empty.
"Cousin, don't ever say that, okay? No one can do it except you. Besides, didn't you say you would be my bride since you were a child?"
Why, he suddenly changed his mind...
Seeing his lost appearance, Rong Chengjin lost his mind for a moment.
When did you say all this?
When he climbed up a tree to fetch her a kite and nearly fell?Or was it after he had a big fight with the eldest son of the Guangdingbo family who bullied her in order to stand out for her?Or, when the two of them sneaked out to the temple fair, when he put his cloak on her with a straight face...
This person who was not a few months older than her once protected her like a treasure, and such memories are indeed too many.
As for "to be my cousin's bride", she has probably said it many times sincerely. She has not met many men, and her cousin has always been the best one among them. With a good family background, a handsome face, and treated her very well, it was hard for her not to be tempted and dependent...
Rong Chengjin said indifferently: "At that time, you and I were still children, talking childishly, why did you take it seriously?"
"Cousin! How can you teach me not to take it seriously?" Seeing her indifferent expression, Zhao Xiyang became even more excited, "Cousin, I just take it seriously. My biggest wish in this life is to marry you as my wife. I will never marry you for the rest of my life." Separation, is it true that the friendship between you and me for so many years is all fake?"
His young heart was as hot as a burning furnace right now.
Hearing this, Rong Chengjin couldn't help laughing.
really?She used to be as serious as him, but the final result broke her heart so much. When that scene appeared in front of her, her whole body was aching and cold. Her heart, It has never hurt so much before, from the breastbone all the way to her stomach...
She was in pain for a whole day and night, and when the pain was over, her body died, and her heart also died.
Therefore, no matter how affectionate he is this time, she will never make the same mistake again.
"Cousin, I'm tired, please go back." She turned her head and said.
"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you, don't tell me... are you really so heartless? So disregarding our relationship over the past ten years?" Zhao Xiyang looked at her sadly.
Hearing his sad tone, and this nickname that he would whisper in the past only when he was in the ear, Rong Chengjin was moved for a moment, but it was only moved.
"Cousin, do you know? When I first went out today, it was still sunny and the sun was shining brightly. As a result, it started to rain in just half an hour."
She looked at Zhao Xiyang's puzzled eyes, and said slowly: "Cousin, God is fickle, let alone people's hearts."
After finishing speaking, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Xiyang, her voice was still so soft, but her tone was so firm: "Cousin, I am no longer that little girl who relies on my brother, do you understand?"
Rong Chengjin has never been a procrastination person. In the past, she thought too much and had too many scruples. But now, she has died once from body to heart. The Zhao family has nothing to worry about anymore. It affected her place, so she walked very simply, no matter what her cousin said behind her, she never looked back once.
After she returned to the front hall full of thoughts, the first thing she did was to kneel down towards Rui Wang Yingying.
Seeing her kneeling suddenly, her small face was still pale and bloodless, King Rui couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong with you? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
But Rong Chengjin shook his head and said: "Father, I want to ask you, can you let go of the matter between me and my cousin?"
Her voice was small, but every word was resounding, several people in the hall were shocked, and among them, especially the father Rui Wang.
If Rong Chengjin hadn't liked her in his heart, King Rui might not have agreed to this matter at the beginning, even though Rong Chengjin was never such a perfect girl, and she was still weak, but in King Rui's heart, she was the best girl in the world , that unbelievable kid is naturally not good enough for her...
But now, the whole capital of this marriage is well aware of it, and it is only a matter of one day that it will be formally settled, so why not mention it at this time?
Could it be that the Zhao family boy said something bad to her, which made the girl feel unhappy and lose her temper?
Seeing that his father was silent, Rong Chengjin was afraid that he would think too much, and said: "There is no exchange of documents, this so-called marriage is just a joke, you can go to the uncle in the same hall and tell them, cousin, I have already Told him."
"What did you say?" King Rui asked in surprise.
Rong Chengjin smiled slightly, and said: "I said, I have just told my cousin that my marriage with him is over."
Seeing her smiling face, King Rui wanted to scold her for not being ashamed, for even talking about her marriage with a man, how decent it is, but when the words came to his lips, he really couldn't bear it.
He has always held this girl in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. He has never been willing to move a finger in his life. At this time, how can he be willing to say no to her? Swallow it back.
In the end, the thousands of words in his heart were all turned into one sentence: "You get up first and then talk, that dead boy, why did he provoke you?"
Seeing his pale face, Rong Chengjin felt that he almost agreed, so she was reluctant to let herself suffer any longer. After being helped by the maid, she sat down very intimately under King Rui.
"I had a nightmare some time ago. I dreamed that he was my nemesis, and he would kill me sooner or later."
"Nonsense!" King Rui reprimanded, "When did you start to believe this?"
Rong Chengjin lowered her head aggrievedly. She naturally didn't believe in anything before, but she experienced even more strange things, and now she believes in gods and ghosts whatever you tell her.
Seeing that this argument didn't seem to work anymore, Rong Chengjin had no choice but to say again: "Of course my cousin didn't provoke me, but I've thought about it a lot these days, and I found that I always only regard him as my brother in my heart. You Say, which younger sister would marry an elder brother? Not everyone is the legendary Fuxi Nuwa, in my opinion, marrying me to him is no different from marrying my eldest brother."
"What do you call that?" King Rui was also a little displeased, how could an unmarried girl even make such an analogy that violated human relations.
"Of course it's the truth." Rong Chengjin said, in her eyes, her father was probably a paper tiger, no matter how fierce he looked, he would break if poked.
"Anyway, that's what I think in my heart. Besides, the Princess Nanping doesn't like me at all. If I really marry, I will definitely suffer."
If it was the first, King Rui was still a little hesitant, but after hearing this sentence, his whole thinking was almost brought over by Rong Chengjin.
Although the cousin-in-law loves Rong Chengjin very much, his cousin, because of her overcompetent father, has always been extremely proud and arrogant, and treats her precious son like some kind of sweet potato. Yes, he has always been critical of his sickly daughter, although she has never shown it so clearly, but King Rui has always loved his daughter, so naturally he can see some clues.
It's just that his bear daughter is determined to hang herself on Zhao Xiyang's crooked neck tree. He is angry with her, pities her, and worries about her, but there is really nothing he can do about her.
Even at this time, when he heard his daughter's words, although he had already agreed in his heart, he still had some doubts whether his daughter was just saying something out of anger.
He was afraid that his daughter would regret it one day, so he still didn't express any attitude, but said to her: "Girl, this is a major matter for your marriage, you should think about it carefully."
Rong Chengjin was not in a hurry to know her father, so she didn't continue to discuss these things. Anyway, she didn't feel that she could solve everything with her own mouth. She suddenly said these things today because she just wanted to It's all for them to find out, whether they are sincere or not, you will see for yourself in the future.
