Your Highness, you stole my heart

On the night of the seventh day of July, the busy streets in Guanzhou City can be described as bustling and lively.

In the middle of the downtown street, there is a high platform built by some rich family. On it are young men who look like scholars, thinking hard on it. It is not as lively as talking and playing in the audience. Decrease instead of increase.

It was the first time that Fa Yi went out alone with his wife to stand in the audience. The woman next to her was wearing a veil. Passers-by would pay attention to the two of them because of the veil covering their faces.

The folk customs of Tianjin are civilized, and it is rare for women to wear veils to cover their faces when they go to the streets, especially for daughters' family festivals such as the Qiqiao Festival.

The two were wondering why there were so many people on the high platform, but it was so quiet.At this time, there was a sudden burst of boos on the stage.

Looking at each other, they saw the intention in each other's eyes, and walked up to the high platform simultaneously.

The head that was originally buried in one place felt a chill in the back of the head. When I looked back, I saw a smiling man helping a woman slowly up the platform.

I thought it was an interesting thing, but when it came up, I realized that it was just a foreigner who spent a lot of money to come up with a row of lantern riddles, which attracted all the scholars in the city.

The sigh just now meant that a scholar finally wrote the answer to one of the questions, Peng Ji's eyes showed helplessness.

"Since it's up, why don't we also look at the riddles?" Fa Yi saw that the people present were also scholars, and it was so difficult to answer the questions, so he was a little interested.

Peng Ji nodded in agreement, she came out today to accompany Fa Yi to celebrate the laborious begging festival.

The heads who were originally gathered together saw the two people walking towards them, and consciously stood on both sides to make a wide space.

When the two of them arrived in front of the row of red lanterns, everyone realized, why did they automatically stand aside?

Fa Yi held Peng Ji's hand with his left hand, and protected Peng Ji in front of him with his right hand. Looking at the question on the red lantern, someone had already written the answer to the first question, and the two of them looked directly at the question on the second lantern. question.

Only after seeing this did I understand why these scholars couldn't answer the questions.

It is neither poems, songs, nor classics, righteousness and policy theory, but a question of chatting at the door of some ordinary people.

The question on the second lantern: Is there anything higher than the sky?

Fa Yi had an idea in his mind, this was clearly the style of their ladies, and which family produced lantern riddles like these.

She glanced at Yuanwai who was sitting in the middle chair on the right side of the high platform, and after confirming that he was a man in his 40s, she let go of her doubts and took a closer look at the question.

"Madam, do you like that wishing lamp?" Fa Yi looked at the row of silver taels and a big red wishing lamp with antlers beside Yuanwailang's seat.

Peng Ji's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Xiang Fayi blinked, "Husband, do you want to win and give it to me?"

Fa Yi's heart trembled when he shouted "husband", and if he couldn't win, he would grab it and give it to Peng Ji.

Fa Yi gave her a reassuring look, and asked the Yuanwai who had been sitting quietly drinking tea, "Master Yuanwai, how many questions do you have to answer correctly to win this prize?"

That Yuanwailang was originally a businessman who hadn't studied for a few days, and he spent money to do it this time to get to know more scholars, and to improve his reputation by getting good contacts in the future.The man he saw early in the morning had a good manners, so many scholars gave way to him and his wife, maybe they were noble people from somewhere, no matter how bad he was, he was also a talented scholar, and the possibility of being elected in the future must be higher than the rest of them Scholars are much bigger.

He immediately got up and greeted Fa Yi, "Since this young master has just arrived and didn't hear the rules I announced earlier, I will repeat it again."

There are ten lantern riddles in total. Anyone can write down the answers. The person who gets the most correct answers wins. If someone has written the correct answers, the lantern will turn off, and the question cannot be answered again.

For this kind of riddle, people who are dead readers may not be able to answer it, but it is much easier for Fa Yi than poetry, songs, scriptures, meanings and strategies.

Fa Yi patted Peng Ji's hand, motioned her to wait a while, then went to the side and took a pen to write one by one.After a while, the remaining nine lanterns were all darkened.

Seeing this, Yuanwailang confirmed what he was thinking, his attitude was different from before, and he stepped forward and called for someone to bring the silver and the wishing lamp to Fayi.

"The young master is really a man of great talent. Haven't you asked the young master Gao's name? Which academy is he a student?"

Fayi took the wishing lamp, turned around and handed it to Peng Ji, with only the woman in front of her in her eyes.

After Pengji took it, she took Pengji and wanted to leave. Before leaving, she went back to the staff, "I'm not from Guanzhou, I just passed by here, and I came to have fun with my wife. It's not convenient to carry silver, so I Get rid of it."

After speaking, he took Peng Ji and left.Seeing that she didn't want silver taels but only wanted a wishing lamp, and thinking of the man's aura just now, everyone was quick to guess where this nobleman came from?No matter what, he can answer those difficult questions, at least he is a genius.That Yuanwailang was even more so, the young man made him forget what he wanted to say with just one sentence.

After getting off the stage and continuing to walk a hundred steps, Fa Yi said, "Young lady seems to have something on your mind today?" In fact, she wanted to ask this question early in the morning. Although Peng Ji didn't have an unhappy expression today, she was exceptionally silent. .

Although he didn't talk much before, but when he talked to him, this person always had a very changeable and rich expression.Today she seems to have no other expression except for smiling.

Even if it seems nothing to others, she is sensitive to discover that Peng Ji is different from before.

"Bengong." She was careless and forgot to hide her identity. She quickly stopped talking, pretended to be inadvertently looked up to see that no one around her had weird expressions, and continued: "I was just thinking, what is prison wine? What kind of person?"

She looked at Fa Yi with some inquiry in her eyes, and also a hint of indistinct confusion.

When we met for the first time, she was a fierce and resolute court lieutenant in the eyes of outsiders. It was only after I got married that I saw her different speech and behavior in front of me, and then I felt that she was similar to the mother and concubine, which made her full of love for the Legalist family. curious.

She knew that everything would not be a meaningless coincidence. A person who has been an official in the court for only five years is going to sit on the position of prime minister. What did she do to make her father believe in her sincerity so much.

A family that has hidden the deceased imperial concubine for many years, unexpectedly appeared when they were fighting for the throne.

Peng Ji thought about whether this family came to help her, but she immediately overturned it.If he really came here with the intention of being his own backing from the beginning, he wouldn't have kept everything secret from the beginning, at least he should be like the relatives of the royal brothers, and let everyone know that the prince has my backing behind him. to the effect.

She said that today I only talked about Fengyue, but she couldn't help but think about it.Every time she mentioned the concubine mother or the grandmother who was still alive, her thoughts would come out involuntarily,

Fa Yi didn't seem to understand, but still grinned, she took Peng Ji's other free hand, and put it on her cheek, "The prison wine is right in front of the lady, look at it more, lady." I know what I am."

She was already small with facial features, and she was grinning and grinning. Peng Ji's heart softened instantly, she was so cute and tight.

"Will prison wine stay with me forever? As the Book of Songs says, hold my hand and grow old with me?"

That day when Fayi said that she would disappear in Jingzhou forever when the great cause was accomplished, she was much relieved at that time.

But now that she really realized that Fa Yi was an unknown quantity she didn't understand, someone she didn't have confidence in, she panicked again.

If this person wanted to leave, she might not be able to keep him no matter what.

Fa Yi was stunned, she looked at the seriousness in Peng Ji's eyes, but couldn't say "of course".She didn't dare to lie to her so seriously, she was afraid, really afraid that she would be complained by this person in the future.

"I know what you want. As long as I give you what I have, even if I don't have it, I will find a way to get it for you. You stay by my side, okay?"

Fa Yi wanted something, which she knew from the very beginning, and she often thought that as long as she succeeded in competing for the position, she would definitely give it all.But now she doesn't have that strong desire to help her anymore, even if she has been her court lieutenant and doesn't participate in the battle for the throne, as long as she stays and remains her son-in-law, she will be satisfied.

Just like what she said that day, she now has the ability to protect herself, even if she doesn't fight for that seat, she can still survive, no matter how bad it is, she still has the escape route given by her aunt.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I."

"Don't answer." Peng Ji interrupted her, that sorry already explained everything.

She didn't want to hear any excuses, she had already thrown the face of her Dugu family in front of this person today.

"I'm tired, let's go back."

Peng Ji put her hand down, and the wishing lamp in her hand fell to the ground as if she had lost her strength. The originally beautiful lampshade suddenly became broken, and the sound of landing was like hitting Fa Yi's heart.

It hurts a lot.

She picked up the wishing lamp and quickly followed Peng Ji, only daring to follow her half a step behind.

Peng Ji is very angry. How many good men in Jingzhou want to be her concubine. She is the only daughter of His Majesty, and also the most beloved junior of Princess Xifeng who holds the army. She is doted on and surrounded by glory rich.

This is also her first love affair, several years later than the noble ladies beside her, and also a little sadder than those noble ladies who married well.

Fa Yi felt that the world was changing too fast, and she was obviously overjoyed that Peng Ji had a little more affection for her not long ago, but now, an unstoppable pain crept into her heart.

Why doesn't she want to grow old with the person she loves the most, like all her elders, a couple for life.

She thinks more than anyone else, but this world doesn't allow it, and the existence of her lady clan for the next hundred years doesn't allow it.

She is a member of the lady clan, and Peng Ji can be regarded as half of the clan.They all have to make sacrifices for the stable existence of the ladies.

Peng Ji didn't know the truth, but she was like a mirror in her heart.Now Peng Ji is attracted to a person who treats her not sincerely.

But she, Fayi, knew that she couldn't love, but fell in love at first sight.
