late night song

Chapter 249
Ling Buhuo refused to pick up the glass pendant. Although Ji He felt sad, he was mentally prepared after all. However, Gu Yuchu's preconceived drama filled the market with all kinds of jokes about her and speculation about whether she could get married smoothly. The miserable life she had for the rest of her life really hit her hard.

From her initial determination, she began to hesitate. She hid in the room alone and cried until the sky was dark. She saw no one and said nothing. It was not until Shan Mingxi's sudden visit that the servants knocked on her boudoir door.

"Sister Mingxi." With red and swollen eyes, Ji He grabbed Shan Mingxi who had just stepped into the door and looked at her pitifully.

When Shan Mingxi saw her like this, she felt more sympathy for Ji He when she thought about all the unsavory rumors about this girl.But even so, she still couldn't change her original intention of this trip.

"Don't be too sad. The ones outside are not there, but they are fresh for a day or two, and they will naturally disappear by then." She comforted, and sat down following Ji He's pull.

"Ha." Ji He smiled bitterly and lowered his head in embarrassment, "I made my sister laugh."

Shan Mingxi didn't know what to say for a moment. Ji He raised his head and asked, "Sister, did you come to see me specifically today just to persuade me to be more open-minded?"

"Are you really going to marry Prince Jingchuan?" Shan Mingxi is also a straightforward person. Even if she is here to be a lobbyist, she should be direct.

"Sister, what do you mean?" Ji He seemed to have noticed something. He frowned, shed tears, and asked aggrievedly, "If I didn't want to marry him, why would I hold out the glass pendant? Is it because I dislike my reputation? It’s not loud enough, and you deliberately staged this event to make others look down on you?”

"That's not what I meant." Shan Mingxi felt a little guilty when she saw the pain of stabbing her.

"What does that mean, sister?!"

"You really don't understand what Ling Buhuo means?"

"All the three-year-old children in Yunjing City understand this, how can I not understand it?" Ji He raised his voice unconsciously, tears streaming down his cheeks, "But what can I do? I just like him. Now it's all over Like this, if I can’t get married, I won’t even think about getting married again in the future!”

"If you marry someone who doesn't love you, you won't be happy for the rest of your life. Is it worth it?"

"The rest of your life is very long. If you don't give it a try, how will you know you won't be happy?"

"But he has someone he wants to cherish for the rest of his life. He is so stubborn, are you sure you can change his mind? Emotional matters cannot be forced after all." Shan Mingxi couldn't help but feel the same way when she thought about how deeply in love she was.

"Sister, you don't understand. The prince brother likes you so much. You can't understand the sadness and unwillingness of yearning for you day and night."

"How could I not understand?" Shan Mingxi said with a wry smile, revealing what was on her mind.

"Is there someone in my heart that my sister can't forget?" Ji He stopped crying and asked in surprise. Suddenly, he felt like he had met a close friend.

Shan Mingxi did not respond, Ling Buhuo was always in her heart. Although she withdrew from the competition, she could not heal the ripples in her heart.

"Not the prince brother? Who could that be?"

Ji He's curiosity got the better of her, and she temporarily put aside her worries and tears, and thought over and over about possible candidates. Then she suddenly realized something, widened her eyes, and said hesitantly: "No. I don't want to confuse my brother."

Shan Mingxi neither admitted nor denied that she did not want to discuss her feelings with her, even though the purpose of her trip was to rescue Ling Buhuo.She knew that man's temper so well that even if she proposed marriage, she would definitely not agree to it without asking him his thoughts.

She was afraid that he would be impulsive, disobey orders, and be criticized for being disobedient.She was also afraid that Ling Ziyu would try his best to facilitate this marriage and ruin the already precarious friendship between the two brothers in order to win over her affection.

"If you are sincere to him, don't make it difficult for him."

"Why are you having trouble marrying me?" Ji He's eyebrows flashed and he was very unhappy, "Sister, you came today just to persuade me to give up, right?!"

"Yes." Shan Mingxi admitted simply, "You are not suitable."

"Only you know whether it's suitable or not. Sister, if you can't get it yourself, don't you allow others to get it?" Ji Heyi said in a rude manner, squinting his eyes.

"Even if it is suitable, you should not use the glass pendant to force marriage."

Shan Mingxi was not surprised when she saw Ji He's guess. A girl who was used to being arrogant and indulged in something big like this would inevitably become impatient and think the worst of others.So she tried to persuade her from a different angle, but she didn't have a good sense of proportion, which shattered Ji He's last hesitation about the marriage.

She stood up excitedly, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, pointed to the door, and screamed:
"Forced marriage? Everyone knows that I am shameless and insist on my own way. My sister came to comfort me today. I thought you were different from them, but now it seems that it is different? Isn't it possible for Liuli Peng to choose a son-in-law based on her own wishes and marry her? What? I just followed the order, what's wrong? Why should the rules set by Ziyan Palace be changed by Prince Jingchuan?"

Shan Mingxi did not answer. Thinking about it carefully, what Ji He said made sense. Her method was just a little more extreme, but it was also justified. If she had to say it was wrong, it could only be said that she had wrong timing and wrong sincerity.

"Sister, you can't answer, can you? Sister and I don't walk around very often. It's a lie to condescend to come over to comfort me today, but it's true to save my brother from confusion. Although you are engaged, you don't care about your identity. His situation shows that my sister has no less affection for him than I do. If it were my sister who held the glass pendant in her hand today, what would you do?"

Shan Mingxi frowned and thought for a while. How would she choose in the same situation? She didn't know the answer, but she knew that she would not put down her dignity to beg someone or others who did not belong to her, so she said: "I take care of myself"

But before he even finished speaking, Ji He slapped him back: "I don't care what my sister does, and I don't care whether he agrees or not. I have the final say in the rest of my life. Thank you very much for your concern today, sister." , we will not send you far."

Shan Mingxi is also a proud and arrogant person. After receiving the order to expel guests, she naturally refuses to stay for a moment longer and leaves regardless of whether her goal is achieved.After venting her anger, Ji He felt much better and even took the initiative to go out of the yard to breathe in the fresh air. By chance, she heard from the maid in the mansion that the Nuwa Temple on Laoqiu Mountain was particularly effective in beating villains for marriage, so Huh, without hesitation, he changed into his servant's clothes and took the purchased carriage to pay homage.

After a devout prayer, she paid a lot of money to ask a Taoist nun to beat her with a mallet 49, [-] times. The oil paper in the shape of a little man with Yuchi Yuchu's name on it was already in tatters, and the last fire burned it clean. net.

It seems strange to say that the Taoist nuns are all round in waist and thick in back, and they are smooth and smooth. They don’t have the purity and indifference of Taoist practice. In fact, everyone who understands knows that this is all a bluffing business, and it is just a matter of seeking medical treatment in case of illness. People who have nowhere to vent their grievances are looking for psychological comfort.

Ji He vented all his unhappiness and felt much better, but after a while, he felt that he was deceiving himself and others, and became even more depressed.

She sat slumped in the corridor of the side hall of Nuwa Temple, her eyes did not have the slightest sparkle that a girl should have. Shan Mingxi's words came to her mind again, and she couldn't help but ask herself, was she really forcing others to make things difficult for her?

"The little county master looks very worried. I'm afraid the princess will be heartbroken when she sees him." Nuoda appeared out of nowhere and started chatting.

"You have the nerve to come." Ji He didn't seem surprised by his appearance, and his tone was full of blame, "Last time in the house, you told me that Jiakui must have the courage of Jiakui. The glass fell in his hand, and this is it. The best red line in the world, you see, after listening to your words, I have now become the biggest joke in the entire Yunjing City."

Nuoda didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "At least the whole of Kyoto knows that Prince Jingchuan's Palace and Princess Helan's Palace are getting married."

"So what, what if Brother Buhu refuses to marry me?" Ji He stared into the distance with worries in her eyes. Although she had put down harsh words with Shan Mingxi, she knew that she was trying to show off her strength.

"Impossible. Seeing the Glazed Pendant is like seeing an imperial edict, unless he wants to resist the edict and disrespect it." Nuoda held his arms and smiled.

"But Shan Mingxi said that brother Buhuo is a very stubborn person. I'm afraid he is really."

"General Lingyu came to see you? What did she say to you?" After hearing the news, Nuo Da couldn't help but start to think about Prince Ling's intentions. Could it be that Ling Ziyu had changed his mind temporarily, so there might be variables in this marriage.

"She came to persuade me to give up." Ji He said angrily.

In this way, Nuoda was relieved.If Prince Ling had any new plans, he would definitely tell Princess Helan directly. There was no need to ask Shan Mingxi to come forward and do such useless work, so he had an idea and made up a possible explanation:
"My silly county master, General Lingyu and Ling Buhuo grew up together. Although I understand his temper, resisting an order is a major crime of bullying the king. Even though King Jingchuan has military power, he is still a minister. He is just a subordinate. She is here to test your determination. If you retreat when faced with difficulties, his dilemma will be easily solved. But if you remain firm and unyielding, he will naturally have no way to deal with you and will definitely marry you back."

"Shan Mingxi also likes brother Buhuo. How could she want me to marry into the Jingchuan Palace?!" Ji He was obviously not easy to deceive. Since she knew Shan Mingxi's secret thoughts, she naturally would not believe that she could be so generous.

"She also likes King Jingchuan?"

Nuoda was stunned for a moment, seeming to understand the relevance of Gu Yuchu's words in the post office, but he quickly regained his composure and came up with a new idea: "As far as I know, General Lingyu and General Yuesheng have been at odds for a long time. Since she has no chance herself, she will naturally not be willing to let General Yuesheng succeed. In this way, you have a greater chance."

"What do you mean?" Ji He was confused.

"As the future Crown Princess, she is willing to work as a lobbyist for King Jingchuan without hesitation, so she has a certain weight in King Jingchuan's heart. If she is willing to use the power of the Crown Prince to plan for you, she will naturally be convinced, so you You need to have a good relationship with her."

"Seriously?" Ji He was dubious, "But I just offended her, how could she not hold grudges?"

"General Yuesheng suppressed her everywhere in the military camp, and even stole her sweetheart. This hatred can't be compared with your angry words? The enemy of my enemy is a friend. Instead of General Yuesheng, she naturally I would rather you be the princess.”

Ji He thought about it for a while, and seemed to have figured out a lot, but she suddenly thought of something again, jumped down from the corridor chair, suddenly changed the subject, and said angrily: "It was the glass pendant that the woman took off! What else are you talking about? Even Brother Buhuo listens to her, and even Brother Buhuo is willing to listen to Shan Mingxi, but what if he wants me to be his side chamber?!"

"how could be."

"You don't know how vicious that woman is, and now there are rumors all over the capital that I want to be a concubine!"

She stamped her feet excitedly, the anger she had just vented rushed to the top of her head again, but she thought of all the rumors about Nuo Da and Gu Yuchu, and felt that it was inappropriate to talk about his sweetheart in front of this man. After all, he was willing to help. He also had selfish motives, so he quietly controlled his emotions. Seeing that Noda's expression did not change, he slowly felt relieved.

"She just wants you to give up. Besides, so what if you are a concubine? Don't you just want to marry into Prince Jingchuan's palace?"

"I want to be a royal concubine, not a concubine. Besides, I am the daughter of a royal princess, who was given the title of county lord when she was born, and now I am the newly promoted Jiakui. You want me to be a concubine?!"

"It is true that you have wronged the county master if you are from an ordinary wealthy or official family, but it is the Jingchuan Palace and the person you care about most, so this is not an injustice. Besides, everything has not been finalized yet, even if you don't have a concubine at the moment In the name of you, at this moment and that moment, the princess is planning for you, as long as you enter the door, everything is unknown."

"But I still can't accept being under the same roof as that woman!"

Seeing that she had no intention of retreating, Nuoda was relieved. Then he remembered his mission and smiled thoughtfully: "No, everyone only knows that she is Princess Qin, but they have forgotten her." It is Princess Hehe who is engaged to Emperor Dongqi Jing. Even if they are in love, it will be fine if King Jingchuan does not marry her. If he insists on ignoring Dongqi's face, he may cause trouble again in the East."

When it came to politics, Ji He was not uninterested and naturally she would not delve into it. However, after Nuo Da explained it, she felt reassured. Regardless of the rumors and sorrow outside, she began to concentrate on sewing a wedding dress for herself.

Princess Helan didn't know that Nuoda was instigating her. She saw her daughter's 180-degree change in attitude and became even more worried. With Nuoda's threat and the prince's acquiescence, she had to work hard to get the marriage done, but And it must not be done, otherwise it will be even harder for her to explain to King Jingchuan.

Putting aside the helplessness of these checks and balances in order to survive, in terms of emotional competition, she herself could not compete with Gu Yuchu's mother when she was young. Even if she tied up her husband's body with imperial power, she still lost miserably. Now her daughter has made the same mistake that she didn't want to look back on. Even if times have changed, she still can't balance her heart.
