Chapter 97

"Little prince, you are a descendant of the royal family. This marriage must be bestowed by the emperor. If you resist the decree and refuse to accept it, it is disrespectful. Listen to Uncle Feng's advice, don't make your old grandmother angry, otherwise it will be a waste of grandma. I hurt you for nothing."


Feng Steward sincerely comforted him, but Shangguan Chonglian still pouted his face coldly and said:

"Anyone who wants to receive this imperial decree can receive it. Xiao Wang's woman has to find it by herself, so I don't need you to worry about it."


"It's outrageous, it seems that I indulged you too much, and made you lawless. You have to accept this decree today, or you have to accept it if you don't!"


The old concubine turned cold and said:

"Little sister Gongsun is the granddaughter of Lord Yushi. She is well-educated and reasonable. She has a beautiful heart and a virtuous heart. Many princes and princes have come to propose marriage. Now I have pointed it out to you. It is your good fortune. Where else do you want to find such a good wife?" !"


Shangguan Chonglian's eyes were cold and cold, "Since many people want her, why should I take what they like? Why not let them accept this imperial edict."


"You don't answer?"


The old concubine suddenly looked at Xue Yi with a sneer:


"Well, tell me today, what kind of woman do you want to find before you are satisfied?"


Shangguan Chonglian followed the eyes of the old concubine and glanced at Xue Yi beside her. Xue Yi's eyes were a little panicked and nervous. She was afraid that Shangguan Chonglian would really say those rebellious words in front of them.


Shangguan Chonglian withdrew his eyes, dimmed a little bit, and said:

"It's not her in my heart, I'd rather not marry for the rest of my life!"


"."


Everyone was shocked, Xue Yi looked at him in astonishment.


I knew about Shangguan Zhonglian's rebellion, but I didn't expect such paranoid and strong emotions hidden in his heart.


The old concubine turned pale with anger, and staggered a few steps back. Shangguan Chonglian couldn't bear it, but she clenched her fists tightly. Looking at the old grandmother's angry face with cold eyes, she said:

"Grandmother, you brought me up. You should know me best. If I don't want it, no one can force me. Don't force me out of this house."


The old concubine could barely bring it up, and even fell softly on Steward Feng, "Okay, okay, I really doted on you for nothing. I broke my heart for you, but I got such a reward. You It's hard for father to rest in peace even under the nine springs, how could he have thought that he would give birth to a rebellious son like you!"


"Nizi, Nizi!"


The tiger-headed walking stick rang loudly, and the sound hit Xue Yi's heart.


"Go, kneel down in the ancestral hall for me, hold your father's spiritual seat, tell him all your words, and see if he will forgive you as an unfilial son, just kneel there and think about you How did dad die, think about how I hurt you, if you can't figure it out for a day, you can't afford to kneel there, I want to see how long you can be hard!"


The old concubine's words were sharp, Shangguan Chonglian just went to the ancestral hall in silence with his eyes dim.


"Old lady, then, this imperial decree?"


Butler Feng asked the old concubine for instructions.


"Forget it, let's just say that he is sick on the bed today and cannot receive the order. You follow me to the mansion hall. What's more, only the old man will receive it for him first."


"But if the young prince's attitude doesn't change, what should we do on this wedding day?"


"At that time, I can't help him!"


The old concubine snorted, looked at Xue Yi standing there, and said coldly:

"Tomorrow there will be a palace car in the palace to pick you up to the palace to see the prince. You should pack up and prepare well. When you enter the palace, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do. Remember your duty at all times. Come on, if something happens again, the old man will not spare you!"


Xue Yi's gaze suddenly dimmed, and there was a thin coolness between his brows and eyes.


"Madam please rest assured, Xueyi will keep this in mind."


The old concubine listened to her words, but seeing her proud and arrogant appearance, and seeing her unyielding and arrogant expression became more and more unbearable, so she snorted coldly and turned to leave the bamboo forest on crutches.


Shangguan Fenglan and Dieshuang also glanced at her and followed behind.


a while.


Yuki was still standing there.She looked at the fallen leaves piled up all over the ground, thought about Shangguan Chonglian's words just now, and thought about the worry she had expected, but he still refused, but this was not the result she wanted to see.


She had already made it clear, but she didn't expect that he was not impulsive, but paranoid that made her uneasy.

If it really continues like this because of her, what should I do?

Thinking of this, the more irritable I feel.

Picking up a thin bamboo pole on the ground and breaking off the branches, she practiced the martial arts moves taught to her by Shangguan Chonglian over and over again alone in the bamboo forest.


After practicing, I became more and more furious until a layer of fragrant sweat appeared on my forehead.


"You are not practicing sword, but venting."


The sudden hoarse voice made Xue Yi's heart tighten, and she turned her head to see the cold golden face.


When is he coming back again?

How long has he been sitting here without her realizing it?

"I heard that the little prince is going to get married, so are you in a hurry?"


Xue Yi clenched the slender bamboo pole in his hand, and his eyes fell on the bamboo leaves floating on the ground, "What do you think sir, Xue Yi doesn't want to refute."


"I don't want to refute, or can't refute, because what I said is in your heart?"


Shangguan Fenglan pushed the wheelchair close to her, "He defied the decree openly for you, you should be happy, instead of venting your anger here, jealous of the woman who was accused of marriage in the decree."


"Believe it or not, I didn't."


Even if there is, it's not Miss Gongsun, but

.another person.

It is a person who is far away, near, and close at hand.

"The little prince is so infatuated with you ugly girl, don't tell me that you don't feel anything at all." Unless, you are really just a hypocritical and heartless woman, hypocritically defrauding affection, and then abandoning it like a scorpion.


Xue Yi stared straight at the mask with condensed eyes, for his unpredictable emotions, for his cold words at the moment, she just felt as if a pot of cold water had been poured down her heart, and her words were also cold. "Although my person married into King Jing's Mansion, my heart is free."


"So you're saying that your person belongs to the Eighth Prince, but your heart belongs to someone else. Is that what you mean?"


"Why do you always misinterpret my words?"


"Is it a misunderstanding, or did I hit your mind again?"


"What answer do you want to be satisfied?" Xue Yiba's high-pitched voice was full of anger.


"."


Shangguan Fenglan was silent suddenly, and suddenly stood up from the wheelchair, just taking a step to cover the snow clothes, in the deep eyes, there was a cold charm

Xue Yi was forced to take two steps back by the sudden pressure, but he stretched out his long arms, hooked her to his chest first, and grabbed her jaw.


This time it was rude and arrogant, she faced the dangerous cold light under Shang Jin's face in a flash, as if two knives were about to peel her Ling Chi alive, the horror froze her whole body, and she fell into the ice cellar .


His hoarse voice, almost biting, was like the sneer of a wild beast, piercing her ears like a magic voice, echoing in her mind for a long time:


"Remember, from the moment you married into Prince Jing's Mansion, whether it's your person or your heart, everything you have can only belong to the Eighth Prince. If you dare to betray, I will teach you—— Wan, Jie , no, repeat!"


What a terrible look!


Like death from hell.


It freezes the heart for a moment.


In a trance, she mistakenly thought that she was not marrying the dead Eighth Prince, but the masked man in front of her, King Jing's master.


The hand couldn't help shaking, and the slender bamboo pole fell.


He took it in his hand, his figure swayed like a phantom, came behind her, pressed her close to her from behind, held her hands with both arms, put the bamboo pole back into her palm, and pressed the sound of deep breathing against her ears Shen Sheng said:

"The moves just now are too gentle and useless to learn. If you want to learn, just learn the 'Wu Shuang Wu Du' I taught the Eighth Prince! It's perfect for you!"


Wu Shuang Wu Dui, Teng Yun's sword is extremely fierce!


Black and white overlapped with snow, and there are emerald greens falling from the sky, curled up and rolled up. Although he does not have a sword, but his internal strength points, even if he holds a thin bamboo, he can instantly crush countless flying green leaves. In the sound of the moving wind, there is an invisible sword qi 呲呵~ crack open!


She moves with him, swirls and splits clouds with him, rises and falls with him.

It was like a natural tacit understanding, but she only needed to do it once to imprint this set of smooth swordsmanship in her heart.


Wushuang, more Wudang,


Every move is sent out with fierce determination, vowing to split the opponent in half, and never die!

Night, Dong Nuan Pavilion.


After thinking about it again and again, Xue Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the small package that she had prepared, which contained two steamed buns and two pieces of butterfly cakes that she deliberately left for dinner, and the light was off, and the room was brightly lit. With a dim yellow light, all the servants had fallen asleep at this time, she stepped lightly, and quietly left the Nuan Pavilion.


The garden was silent, only the occasional flowers fell when the wind blew, the quiet night sky was full of stars, and the fragrance was the most pleasant at this time. Stepping on the bluestone path, she escaped the night watchman and left the Xiangxue Garden and came to the front garden ancestral hall.


The oil lamps in the ancestral hall are flickering, and the bright yellow dragon robes hanging on the dragon incense table are more eye-catching and glittering at night.


There is also a luminous pearl hanging on the top of the ancestral hall, and the light blue light quietly illuminates the roof of the ancestral hall.


Kneeling in front of the table is Shangguan Chonglian.


Xue Yi didn't expect that he really knelt there motionless, could it be that he had been kneeling like this for a whole day?

"In the whole house, you are the only stupid woman who walks in your own garden like a thief."


He seemed to have noticed her coming, and without turning his head, he just said something lightly.


Xueyi was a little surprised, walked into the ancestral hall, and stood beside him.


"No one is here now, they are all asleep, you can stand up for a while."


Xue Yi saw that his complexion was much worse than during the day, and his lips were also pale and dry.


He looked up at her, then lowered his head, and said:


"Today's kneeling is no joke, even if I kneel to death here, I will admit it."


After hearing this, she squatted down, took out the package in her arms and opened it, saying:


"It's not too much to eat. Besides, the old lady only said that she would be punished by kneeling, and she didn't say that you can't eat something when it reaches your mouth. Come, eat some."


Shangguan Chonglian gave her a sideways look, "If you came tonight just to bring me food, then I would eat all of these, but if you came to persuade me, then I would take them all away."


Xue Yi's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, yes, she really wanted to persuade him.


"Chonglian, why do you—"


"Don't say that,"


Shangguan Chonglian turned to look at her, interrupted her, and said:


"I don't want to marry a woman I don't love. Even if I'm not here for you today, I won't accept this edict, so you don't need to say anything."


"Resisting the decree is not a trivial matter, it will be beheaded."


"It's just a life, nothing to be afraid of."


"you are wrong."


Holding the pastry in her hands, Xue Yi fixedly faced Shangguan Chonglian and said:

"Living is the most difficult thing. Death is not terrible. People don't have to live just for love. There are more meaningful things. You are a man and a noble little prince. Your status is beyond the envy of many people." , you have a bright future, you can even do more earth-shattering things, good things for the people, you may be a general, or you may be a good minister, when you have a broader vision, you will find that alive, Hate that life is too short, how many things have to be done, how many things have to be done hard.”


"For example, at this moment, I want to go back to the grassland, let go of horses on the grassland with Abi, and take the first-hand medical skills given to me by my mother and concubine to lend a helping hand to those in need. In the wind, stepping on Achnatherum splendens, looking up to count the white clouds in the sky, there will be pastoral songs floating on the grassland, you will smell the mellowness of Dukang wine, you will taste the strong smell of kumiss, that is the taste of life ,"


"So, don't give up your life easily, because in that way, you will lose a lot of good things, maybe many years later you will look back and realize that the better things are actually behind you, in fact, in the next person you almost missed inadvertently , Maybe the beauty you thought you grasped is not beautiful, and it does not belong to you. No matter how persistent you are, it will eventually become a floating cloud that will disperse and disappear in your eyes."
