The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 276 Wasted Time

"Forget it, let's help the princess to bed first. The princess finally returned to the palace to celebrate the new year. If they get married next year, I'm afraid this will be the last time the princess will celebrate the new year in the palace."

Qin Mengyao was lying on the bed, and heard the sound of footsteps walking away, and then looked at the curtain in front of her quietly. She heard their words clearly just now, but what was the secret that made them so afraid? The more Mengyao thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, especially when she realized that the secret had something to do with her, her curiosity became stronger.

On the first day of the Spring Festival, the palace was very lively.

All civil and military officials came to congratulate him one by one. Qin Yi looked at the world under his rule with satisfaction, and the pleasure of conquering made him extremely excited.

A steady stream of congratulatory gifts were sent to Qin Mengyao's palace, which were gifts from several Wuhou families specially selected by Qin Yi, among which the one Qin Yi liked the most was the Zuo family of the Marquis of Qing.

Zuo Song, the son of Zuo Rong, Marquis of the Qing Dynasty, was twenty years old. He is one of the best young talents in Houliang. He not only has a good family background, but also has excellent martial arts.

However, Zuo Song is unwilling to enter the official examination no matter what. Even if Qin Yi intends to reuse him, there is no way out.It just so happened that when Zuo Rong was celebrating the new year, he seemed very interested in Qin Mengyao's recruitment of relatives in the arena, so Qin Yi naturally took the opportunity to match them up.

Qin Mengyao looked at the gifts all over the room, and felt bored.

"The original Princess Ying, I mean, before I disappeared, did she receive presents like this every year?"

Tianya shook her head silently. There are so many gifts this year, which also opened her eyes.Even Princess Ying's birthday has never been given so many big gifts before. This year is indeed an extraordinary year for Princess Changying.

"Actually, I'm a bit regretful," Qin Mengyao said without thinking, Tianya was taken aback, "Princess, what do you regret after receiving so many gifts?"

"I shouldn't have come back. I had a good time outside. Although I wasn't so rich in my childhood, I would be very comfortable. Unlike now, when I receive a gift, I have to think about the purpose of the other party."

"But, you are the princess of our back beam, you can have whatever kind of life you want!"

Qin Mengyao stopped talking. How could people living in the palace experience the happiness of ordinary people...

I don't know how Nan Chengmo is doing now, he said heavy snow will block the road, he should still be in the barracks now, I hope he won't feel sad because of his sudden departure.But at the thought of what if he wasn't sad, Qin Mengyao's heart began to ache.

This is already the third year she has been in this world, three years, like three centuries.It's a pity that they haven't been able to spend a Spring Festival together...

When Qin Yu entered the door, Qin Mengyao was still in a fugue, his dull vision was suddenly interrupted by a figure leaping in, causing Qin Mengyao to almost jump up.

"Stinky boy, you deserve a beating again!"

Qin Yu pretended to beg for mercy, "Sister, you don't remember villains, and this time, I'm here to tip off the news!"

Qin Mengyao was dubious.

"This time, I heard that my father has found a son-in-law for you again! Are you interested in going to see it?"

Seeing Qin Yu's narrow expression, Qin Mengyao couldn't even arouse half interest. The last time he punished Guo Jing'an, the boy couldn't get out of bed for more than half a month. She didn't really want to do such a wicked thing. , she is already married, even though the two are in two different countries right now, and they don't even know where each other is...

"Can you stop messing around with gossip all day long? Have you finished reading Art of War, practiced swordsmanship, and written calligraphy?"

Sure enough, Qin Yu's originally high-spirited face collapsed instantly after the three "hasn't it?"

Qin Mengyao raised his forehead, is this guy a parrot? Whenever she said something, he would always find a chance to say it again.

"You still think I'm your sister? Could it be that my sister is used to be betrayed?"

"Heaven and earth can learn from each other. I, Qin Yu, have never betrayed my sister!" Qin Yu's little abacus was clattering in his heart. No matter who the son-in-law is, the country will belong to him in the future. Sooner or later, it will be used to assist him. This meeting will be good for the staff, so as not to find a piece of elm lumps in the future, and add guilt to myself in vain.

"I don't know you yet? You can only be so serious when you trip someone up. Don't think I don't know!"

"..."

"Tell me, who is so unlucky this time?"

Qin Yu finally heard this sentence, and the blood tank was full instantly.He tried his best to hide his excitement. "Sister. This time, the father and king are looking for the second son of Qing Guohou. It is said that he is handsome, and he is superb in both literary talent and martial arts! Why don't we go and have a look?"

"No!" Qin Mengyao rolled his eyes, who is choosing the son-in-law? Why is this guy more concerned than himself!
"Oh, it would be a pity if you didn't go to see it. It is said that this Zuo Songsheng is very good, and all the women in the capital have not been tempted to see him!"

Qin Mengyao was a little moved after hearing this. As the president of the Appearance Association, she couldn't help but feel red in her eyes when she heard the word handsome guy. Although she didn't plan to choose a son-in-law for herself, she could go and see the handsome guy's face , it is not impossible.

So after holding back for two seconds, Qin Mengyao nodded.

"I knew you couldn't help it!" Qin Yu smiled triumphantly.A look I've known for a long time.

Qin Mengyao resisted the urge to complain, "Your goal has been achieved. Why are you still here!"

"Ahem, well, I still have some news about your husband in Lei Country, would you like to hear it?"

Qin Mengyao was stunned, and looked at Qin Yu in disbelief, "Why did you hear about him!"

"My sister wants to know, but a younger brother must be self-aware." Qin Yu suddenly put away the smile on his face, "The people who stayed over there have heard that Nan Chengmo is missing."

"Missing?" Qin Mengyao's legs went limp and he slumped on the ground.

"Sister, don't worry. He didn't die. He just disappeared after a battle. The Thunder Corps sent people to search the battlefield several times, but they didn't see his body." Qin Yu Dun, "That was a battle that would determine the outcome. As long as he wins this battle, he will be promoted to a noble when he returns..."

"Is it because you lost?"

"No, on the contrary, he led the army to fight until the final moment when the enemy was defeated, but when the whole army celebrated, he disappeared."

Qin Mengyao was silent for a long time, the news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, smashing her remaining hope to pieces.

"There is another piece of news, do you want to hear it?"

"How much news do you have, can't you finish it all at once?!"

Qin Yu was taken aback by Qin Mengyao's anger, "It's good news, so do you still want to hear it?"

"If you have something to say, hurry up and let your fart go!"

"Sister, you are so rude! This should not be what we royals should say," Qin Yu said with a smile, "Then I will start farting, someone saw your husband coming towards our back beam."

Qin Mengyao was surprised again, "Really?"

Qin Yu was complacent, "Will there be any false news about me?"

"Then where is he now? Is the back beam guarded strictly? Will he be in danger?..."

A series of question marks landed in Qin Yu's ears one after another, "Sister, can you stop asking, there seem to be ten thousand flies buzzing in my ears, that is my brother-in-law, I will tell you as soon as I hear about him. You, well, I guess the father will come over in a while, I will withdraw first!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he was afraid that Qin Mengyao would regret it, so he ran away. The little eunuch who was following him didn't react for a while, his left foot was knocked by his right foot, and he almost fell to the ground. Back to normal, the embarrassing look made Qin Mengyao, who was frowning just now, finally couldn't help laughing.

Not long after, Qin Yi entered Shuyuzhai majesticly and majestically.

Ever since he was reprimanded by Qin Yi for his opposition to choosing a son-in-law, Qin Mengyao had an inexplicable fear of the lord, as if the relationship between them was not the relationship between father and daughter, but the relationship between monarch, minister, master and servant .

"Ying'er, come here and sit next to Wei's father," Qin Yi pointed wearily to the seat beside him, seeing Qin Mengyao sitting down, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"When your mother was alive, she loved you the most, and she was reluctant to touch you with a finger. If she knew that I treated you that way, she would hate me to death. Ying Er, I'm sorry, I had no other choice that day. ... Well, it's all over, but your injury is still pressing on my chest like a stone, making me unable to breathe. Fortunately, you are back now."

Qin Mengyao listened silently. Ever since she came home, Qin Yi had always expressed guilt towards her, but every time he felt guilty, there were repeated tricks of refusing to withdraw from the ring to choose a son-in-law.This time, I don't know what plan he was planning.

"Before your mother left, she held my hand and said that you must have a happy home. For your mother's last wish, I thought about it for a long time, and decided to use the way of fighting in the ring, out of helplessness. After all, the civil strife two years ago caused Houliang to lose a large number of capable ministers and generals, therefore, Father hopes to take this opportunity to select a few truly capable men to stabilize Houliang's country."

After hesitating for so many days, Qin Yi finally decided to tell Qin Mengyao the truth. Although this may make their father-daughter relationship even more distant, thinking of Qianqian's last wish before his death, Qin Yi deeply felt that I'm sorry, but now that I tell the truth, my heart is much more relaxed.

But for Qin Mengyao, this is undoubtedly a painful blow.

Sacrificing her life's happiness for the sake of the stability of the country, it turned out that in the eyes of "father", she was just a pawn, and she would move wherever she needed it. Did he ever care about her feelings?

"So, you think you can attract more capable ministers and generals by using me as a bait? Hehe, you overestimate your daughter's ability too much. She is just a savage, willful and rude little girl. You promoted her to When it comes to politics, don't you ever think about whether she will fall or bleed?"

Qin Yi's face gradually darkened. The purpose of his showdown today was to get Qin Mengyao to follow his plan honestly, but obviously this little girl still refused to cooperate obediently!

"Father, even if the generals and ministers appear in the group arena, will they be willing to submit and serve for the back beam? As far as I know, those who are willing to participate in the competition to recruit relatives are either because of true love or for their own interests. Sex, money, power, etc., ordinary people are like this, let alone the dispute between son-in-law."

"Then what do you mean, those who come to participate in the competition do not have a pure purpose?"

"you can say it this way."

"Such the best, capable and ambitious people are the ones that the back beam needs."

Qin Mengyao was dumbfounded.For the sake of power, father and son can turn against each other, and brothers can kill each other. She is just a mere princess. For those who want to consolidate the regime as soon as possible, it is indeed a good political bargaining chip.

Qin Yi's arrival and departure made Qin Mengyao finally realize what kind of environment she was in. Every step she took could only follow the path arranged by others. Still be smashed to pieces.

"Since opposition is useless, it is better to strike first than to sit still," Qin Mengyao secretly clenched her fists, she had already wasted too much time...

In Qing Guohou's study, Zuo Song stood in front of Zuo Rong expressionlessly.

"In any case, you must marry Princess Changying, you must also participate in the group arena, and you must win!" Zuo Rong's deep eyes showed a hint of coldness.

"I won't participate."

"You must participate. The future fate of our Zuo family depends on you. If you can win the crown of son-in-law this time, there is still a possibility for us to make a comeback in the Qingguohou Mansion. If you fail, our family will die." There is no hope."

"Then live a normal life."

"You! You're trying to piss me off!" Zuo Rong was furious, wishing he could pick up the inkstone at hand and smash it at it, but thinking that each one was a treasure, he was reluctant to part with it.

There was a servant knocking on the door, "Master, Grandpa, please come over."

The responder from Zuo Rong gave Zuo Song another hard look, "Go back too, think carefully about what I told you, remember, this is not a discussion with you, but an order!"

Zuo Song shook his head indifferently, and walked out of the study.

The boy at the side didn't leave, he looked left and right to see if there was no one there, walked quietly to Zuo Song, stuffed a piece of paper into Zuo Song's hand, and then ran back relieved.

"At noon tomorrow, see you in the Moon Worship Hall of the Water Sound Building." The handwriting is beautiful, but it seems to be written with charcoal.

Zuo Song wanted to grab the boy to ask where the note came from, but found that the boy had disappeared.

Zuo Song secretly crumpled the note into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand. He never liked the feeling of being played with in the palm of his hand, but now, he always felt that he was being led by the nose all the time, and all this was because of that The position of damned son-in-law.

In the Moon Worship Hall of the Water Sound Building.

Qin Mengyao stood in front of the window, quietly watching the people coming and going on the street.
