After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 101
The road was opened, and a group of trapped people from Jingci Temple were finally freed. Those who returned to their hometowns returned to their hometowns, and those who returned to Lin'an Prefecture returned to Lin'an Prefecture.

Zheng Yuting got on the return carriage with a heartbroken heart.

The carriage was galloping on the uneven ground, and the curtains were shaking. Zheng Yuting, who was sitting in the carriage, raised her head and looked out with red and swollen eyes. She saw Liang Yifei, who Mrs. Liang had ordered to escort her back, standing high on the horse.Just looking at his back, she already felt that Liang Lang was high-spirited and graceful.

"There will be no one else here."

——But these few words lingered in her ears again, Zheng Yuting closed her eyes and covered her heart.

Her heart was still beating fiercely as before, but because of her encounter at Jingci Temple, she was so cold that she no longer had the courage to test Liang Yifei.

He was ultimately unavailable to her, a fantasy that she could not achieve.

The weather was cold and cold, and when Liang Yifei's horse and the Marquis's carriage arrived outside Qingbo Gate, a group of people from the military camp were already waiting at the city gate.

Seeing Liang Yifei finally appear, a man immediately rode forward and shouted: "Commander Liang, the official has announced your presence."

Liang Yifei was startled, and then realized that it was because of this that he was going north.

Liang Yifei asked: "When?"

The man hurriedly replied: "Immediately! The oral instruction originally asked you to go there two days ago, but later I found out that you were trapped in Jingci Temple, so we were asked to wait for you here, and we asked you to go directly to Da Nei once you show up."

Liang Yifei nodded yes and turned back to see Zheng Yuting's carriage that had not yet arrived home.

The conversation between the two of them was muted, and Zheng Yuting could hear it clearly. She opened the carriage curtain and said proactively: "Sanlang, go and do your work. Business is important. After all, I have already entered the city. I can go back alone."

An official appointment was no small matter. Liang Yifei did not greet her politely, nodded and said goodbye, then kicked the horse in the belly and walked away.

Watching Liang Yifei leave, Zheng Yuting couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. But when she returned to Zheng Mansion, her family members came to care about her experience in Jingci Temple in an endless stream. She had to hide this emotion and behave in a different way. The Liang family, mother and son, had a fairly pleasant journey.

Zheng Shiyan noticed her forced smile. When no one was around, he carefully asked her: "Does Liang Sanlang have an idea of ​​when to choose a good and auspicious day to get married?"

There are six wedding rites: nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for a date, and personally welcoming. Liang Yifei and she have already gone through the first four rites, and the grand ceremony of nazheng has also been performed. The Zheng family has received the Liang family's gift. The letters of appointment and gifts were sent, just waiting for the final application period and personal welcome.

In fact, after all calculations, her marriage to Liang Yifei was a certainty. Unless the two families broke up and never dated, there would be no possibility of going back on their words.

But so what?
Zheng Yuting knew too well that even if she got her wish and finally married Liang Yifei, she still couldn't win his heart.

Zheng Yuting's dark eyes looked at Zheng Shiyan, who was frowning at her. Her second cousin, this handsome young man, had always been as considerate as dust and treated people with consideration.

Facing his caring and gentle gaze, she couldn't help the pain in her heart and cried out, "Second brother, I'm so sad. He doesn't have me in his heart at all. He doesn't want to marry me at all. This family relationship is just It's just my parents' orders. I want to give up, but I...I don't want to give up."

Zheng Shiyan patted her back gently.

Zheng Yuting's eyes were dim with tears, and Ai Ai Qiqi said: "Second brother, tell me, what should I do?"

The same person in the song, Zheng Shiyan thought of his sweetheart, lowered his eyes and sighed: "If we can get married, at least you can see each other all the time, and there is no moral restriction. If you want to be good to him, you can treat him openly and openly." "If you want to express your feelings, you can express it to him in detail."

Zheng Yuting stopped crying.

She thought that if she told Zheng Shiyan that Liang Yifei had no interest in her, her cousin, who had always been the most protective of her, would complain about her and accuse Liang Yifei of being cold and ruthless, but she didn't know that his attitude was exactly the opposite.

This rekindled the courage in her heart that had not been completely extinguished.

In fact, Zheng Yuting was very eager to get support from others.

"Second brother thinks I shouldn't give up, right?"

Zheng Shiyan looked at her, the dim light of the lights shone on half of his face, and his eyes were covered with a layer of indescribable sadness, "You just need to think about it, if the person beside him was someone else instead of you, what would you do?" Do you accept it calmly?"

Almost immediately, Zheng Yuting had the answer in her heart: No!
Even if he doesn't have her in his heart, she is still willing to stay by his side and love him silently.

Zheng Yuting was soothed by Zheng Shiyan's few words. Her excitement gradually subsided, and her crying became weaker and weaker. In the end, all that remained was physiological intermittent twitching.

"Hiccup -" Zheng Yuting's shoulders twitched, and she asked Zheng Shiyan in confusion: "Second brother, why don't you get married? Didn't Second Sister urge you?"

He was already twenty-two. In this era, it was very common for men to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen and for women to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. He was truly an anomaly.

Zheng Shiyan raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "Why don't you hurry?"

Zheng Yuting had some vague suspicions about Zheng Shiyan's feelings for a long time, but she had never asked him face to face.Seeing that he seemed to have a desire to talk today, Zheng Yuting asked out of concern for him, "Why doesn't the second brother marry a wife? Is it because he has someone in his heart?"

Zheng Shiyan was surprised.

Maybe he just listened to Zheng Yuting's sharing, or maybe he finally found someone to talk to about his long-standing inner thoughts. Zheng Shiyan acquiesced to her words and said softly: "I'm afraid it won't be possible in this life."

"Is it Cousin Lu?" Zheng Yuting asked him.

Zheng Shiyan's eyes flickered for a moment.

His sweetheart is someone else's pillow.

After meeting Qin Hui for the first time and getting a hint from him, Liang Yifei once thought crazily about meeting the emperor in person to ask for a decree that would allow him to marry. However, only after meeting him did he realize that the emperor's majesty How solemn and solemn, it is not something that his status can easily express.

For example, at this moment, he received a notification from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and entered the main hall with several officials who had been summoned. He stood at least five feet away from Gaozong.

Due to the restrictions of etiquette, Liang Yifei could not look directly at the emperor, but he had never been a polite person. After entering the house, he should have just continued to hang his head in a distant place, waiting for him to talk to the imperial physician Wang Ji. Gaozong finished his work, but after waiting for a short while, he quickly glanced at Gaozong in the silence while Huang Men was not watching.

Just like this, Liang Yifei, who had always had excellent eyesight, was suddenly shocked.

Emperor Gaozong's appearance was actually somewhat similar to that of Qin Qilang from Qingshui Village!

Liang Yifei clenched his fists, thinking a lot.Because he himself was Qin Hui's illegitimate son, Liang Yifei's first thought when he judged others was the possibility that Qin Yuehuai was Gaozong's illegitimate son.

It was no secret that Emperor Gaozong was suffering from rotten disease and could not have children. Otherwise, he would not have adopted many children from the Zhao clan and raised them at his knees. Therefore, he rejected this idea as soon as it came up.

If it wasn't his child, who could it be?

Gaozong ranked ninth, with eight brothers and four sisters above him, and four brothers below him...

Liang Yifei's thoughts before he could figure it out were interrupted by an unexpected call from his superior——

"The gentlemen are here."

Hearing Gaozong's voice, Liang Yifei and several people beside him held hands and saluted: "I have seen the official family."

Someone in this room was summoned by Gaozong to talk. Wang Ji, who had a low conversation with Gaozong in the other room, wisely bent down and said goodbye to Gaozong.Gaozong nodded, and Wang Ji walked out with his head held high.This posture does not look like that of an imperial doctor, but more like that of a powerful eunuch who plays an important role in the government.

When he came to Liang Yifei's side, Wang Ji paused and glanced sideways at him, either intentionally or unintentionally.After he finished his meal, several people in his group couldn't help but look secretly at Liang Yifei's place.

Everyone knows that Wang Ji is a popular person in front of Emperor Gaozong. In the past, his godson was easily promoted by Emperor Gaozong. Now he seems to have a certain friendship with Liang Sanlang, and people who are officials in the court have the most gossip. Well-informed, they had also heard about the fact that Liang Yifei was taken by Qin Hui to attend the Qin family banquet attended by Wang Ji. When several pieces of news were combined, several people were shocked. Could it be...

Could it be that Liang Sanlang also wants to recognize Wang Ji as his godfather?

As if to verify their ideas, the leader Gaozong glanced around and boasted: "This is the first time I have seen Sanlang Liang. He is really a talented person."

Liang Yifei did not expect that he would catch Gaozong's attention so suddenly. He bowed and said humbly: "The official family has too much reputation."

Gaozong then greeted several other people in turn, and after a few polite words, he began to talk about the purpose of summoning them.

The people summoned by Emperor Gaozong today are all those who are going to Daijin as envoys. Among them are ambassador Mulun, deputy envoy Wang Xuan, and censor Jin Xian. The rest are a few military personnel escorting the envoy team.

Emperor Gaozong sighed and complained to his ministers: "...Zhuangzi said: 'In life, if a white horse passes between heaven and earth, it will be all of a sudden.' I am sincere and I don't deceive anyone. Now that I have calculated it, the empress has been kidnapped by the golden soldiers. It has been 13 years, and this is really a big regret in my heart. Every time I dream about her, I hear her ask me: Why didn’t you take me back for a long time? The ministers are on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin this time, except for father and third brother. Zi Palace welcomes me back, please help me fulfill this wish."

The Supreme Emperor had established two queens one after another.His first wife was Mrs. Jiang, the biological mother of Princess Qinzong, Princess Yanqing and Princess Yanqing. After the death of Mrs. Jiang, she was given the posthumous name Queen Yongde.After that, the Supreme Emperor appointed Wei Shi, Gaozong's biological mother, as his successor.

At this moment, the so-called empress in Gaozong's mouth was his biological mother, Queen Mother Wei.

This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Gaozong was concerned about his biological mother. With such filial piety, these ministers would naturally not obstruct him, but would work hard according to his wishes.

As an important member of the envoy, Mulun Gongzhi was determined: "The officials can rest assured, I will do my best to persuade the Jin people to release the Queen Mother."

Wang Xuan and Jin Xian also echoed Mu Lun and said they would negotiate more with the Jin people.

Gaozong glanced at them faintly, nodded and said, "The Qing family is interested."

As Wang Qiong's cousin, Mulun got some hints from Qin Hui about this matter from his cousin in advance. Seeing that Gaozong had great expectations for Queen Mother Wei, he added: "The Jin people are greedy and want to use them." It is difficult to let the Queen Mother return in vain, I think it is better to make some preparations in advance. As long as the other party's request is not excessive, if it is convenient for us, we will agree."

Liang Yifei, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly clenched his fists.

What is not too much to ask for?
What to prepare in advance?
At this moment, Qin Yuehuai's firm words suddenly reappeared in his ears——

"There are rumors in the city that you are not going to pick up the Emperor's Zi Palace, but you are going to surrender to the Jin people with Zhou's money."

Although the Jin people never kidnapped any of his relatives, Liang Yifei grew up hearing about the bloody and brutal acts of the Jin people.The hatred of the country and the family, how could the Zhou people be so spineless and surrender to the Jin people who had oppressed and kidnapped their compatriots and imprisoned the king of a country?

Liang Yifei was calm on the surface, but silently tightened his fingers.

He was obviously young, but he already had a cold and stern temperament. In addition, he had a murderous aura honed in the military camp. When the two sides merged, he was enveloped in a cold, ruthless and repulsive person.

Gaozong, who was talking to several other officials, accidentally glanced and saw the sinister look in Liang Yifei's eyes. He took a few breaths and looked at Liang Yifei's eyes.

After comforting Zheng Yuting, Zheng Shiyan returned to his residence and found an invitation on his desk.

When I opened it, I found that it was an appointment with him to go to Tingfeng Teahouse tomorrow.

In recent days, his cousin Lu Yuan often made appointments with him, and Hui Hui also brought her husband Tang You with her.

Zheng Shiyan stared at the post for a long time. The words on it were as beautiful as petals, with a far-reaching fragrance, fresh and beautiful, just like her person.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen, wrote a reply, and accepted the invitation.

The next day, Zheng Shiyan arrived at Tingfeng Tea House on time, but from sunset to the scheduled time, he didn't see anyone from Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan, who was pleased with Zheng Shi's banquet, was standing in front of Tang's mother with cold hands and feet, accepting the blame from her mother-in-law.

"Who doesn't know that the three most serious forms of unfilial piety are not having an offspring? You have been married to our Tang family for so long and have not given birth to a son and a half. Do you feel guilty?"

"Ziguan is the only seedling of our Tang family. Since you can't bear children, you should find other ways to spread the branches and leaves of our Tang family."

"..."

Seeing her mother-in-law Fu's lips opening and closing, Lu Yuan felt a ringing in her ears and couldn't hear another word.

She really couldn't figure out why her mother-in-law, who was so kind to her in the past, often spoke harshly to her now.

Not only that, but according to my mother-in-law, she wanted to add someone new to Tang You.She could also tell who he was looking for.

Lu Yuan endured and endured, her whole body trembling and stiff. When Fu's words became more and more outrageous, she finally couldn't help it and asked: "Mother, have you forgotten why the child in my belly was gone?"

Fu stood up and said angrily: "How dare you talk back!"
