Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 178 His wedding 1
Marriage?

Feeling that Shaoyu's hands were trembling with force, I laughed, nodded and said: "That's right. General Nangong is a hero of this dynasty, he got married, and this palace should indeed give him a marriage, but -"

"But what?"

"Shouldn't he be present in such a big event as the bestowal of a marriage? General Nangong is the pillar of the country. Why should the elders be asked to speak about such a matter? It really shouldn't be."

"Hehe, the empress dowager forgives the sin." Nangong Yu bowed his head with a smile: "Actually, my nephew is already waiting outside the palace gate, and Shui Xunyou is waiting for the empress dowager's order. I am afraid that the empress dowager's old wounds are still unhealed. I'm mentally weak and can't grant a marriage, so I didn't rush to have an audience, lest I offend the Queen Mother's phoenix body."

……

Already waiting outside the palace gate?Really - thoughtful!
I have forgotten how to make what kind of expression on my face, just looking at them looking at me, maybe I am still smiling.

"Since the Bi people have come, let them come in, and let Bengong take a good look at it." After finishing speaking, I turned around and ordered: "Yu Sui'er, go and invite General Nangong and Miss Shui to come in. "

"Yes."

Yu Sui'er glanced at me worriedly, and ran out in a hurry. After a while, there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from outside.

Under the sun, that familiar figure walked in front of me again.

His figure was still tall and slender, with handsome eyebrows. He was not wearing a court uniform, but a green gown. He looked handsome and elegant, not like a general, but like a hermit hiding in the mountains.

hermit……

In a trance, I thought of those **** nights when he and I fell off the cliff, and his firm and sweet promises in my ears.

Thinking of this, the pain in my heart became heavier, I took a deep breath and shook off the thought, and turned to look at the beauty beside him—— Shui Xunyou.

As if to complement Nangong Mizhen, she also wore a light green tulle dress today. The loose style concealed her exquisite figure, but it showed a different kind of charm; she Her demeanor was very cold and hard, and her deep eyebrows were as cold as a knife, but today, standing beside that man, there was a bit of imperceptible tenderness.

This is a woman, for the man she loves, no matter how she changes, she can accept it.

Standing in front of me, they are really a pair of people made in heaven.

I watched them bow down to me: "Meet the Empress Dowager."

"Retire without courtesy."

"Thank you, Empress."

Nangong Yazhen straightened up, I thought he would avoid my gaze, but he faced me very calmly, when those familiar eyes looked at me, there was no slight fluctuation, just like looking at a stranger Same.

"Beautiful shadows make a pair, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, such a pair of people made in heaven."

"The empress dowager made fun of it."

I looked at him and said with a smile: "General Nangong, you have gone through a dangerous situation on Yixian Peak before, but now you are safe and sound, so you must be fine?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Empress Dowager Xie is concerned, the minister is not injured."

"Oh……"

"I don't know the Queen Mother's injury—"

"Since I can sit here, the injury has naturally healed."

We smiled and talked, our words were as calm as a pool of calm water without any ripples, Shui Xunyou stood beside him, looking at me coldly, as if he wanted to see something from me.

I looked at this beauty again: "Miss Shui has been famous for a long time. When I saw her today, she really deserves her reputation."

"Thank you."

She talked less enthusiastically to me, as if every extra word was a waste, but I didn't know why, but I didn't hate it.

This kind of coldness and confrontation on the face is much better than the needle hidden in the cotton and the poison soaked in the honey.

I smiled and said: "I just heard from Mr. Nangong that the two have been engaged since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts and love each other deeply. Such a match made in heaven should be married. I am also very happy to marry you two. It can be regarded as following the will of heaven and the heart ,right?"

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."

"I just don't know. Is there any good day recently?" I frowned slightly, pinched my fingers to calculate, and immediately thought of a day, and said with a smile: "This month's Yimao day, Chonglongshabei, it is suitable for marriage, but a What do you think of Nangong Qing's family on such an auspicious day?"

Shaoyu and the others stood aside and looked at me, completely dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe that I would agree to this matter so easily, and Nangong Yu seemed a little surprised: "This month, 28?"

"Yes."

"...Could it be a little hasty?"

He was still hesitating, but Nangong Mizhen on the side had already said: "Since this is the day chosen by the queen mother, there will be no mistake, so it will be set on the 28th of this month, and a banquet will be held in Nangong Mansion. Chui Lian, come to the house for a glass of water and wine."

"It's natural." I looked into Nangong Mizhen's eyes: "It's a great joy in life to see lovers finally get married, and it's one of my thoughts."

I kept smiling until they left Zichen Palace.

When their backs disappeared under the long stone steps, Shaoyu rushed to my side and caught my frail body that was about to fall: "Xingsi, how are you?!"

"It's okay, don't worry."

I smiled at him with a pale face.

"I'll help you go back and rest."

As he spoke, his hands were exerting force, and he wanted to help me go back to rest. I shook my head and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

I took a breath, let my constricted chest feel a little better, then raised my head and looked at him: "How is the war in Xuanyuan Kingdom now?"

Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at me, his expression was obviously hesitant.

I smiled lightly: "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I have already sat in this seat, and my considerations will no longer be as impulsive as in the past. What happened in the past month is irreversible. I know very well that Xi Yuying dared to come to Zhaoye, which proves that they are fully confident, and it is impossible to send troops from Qinglong to save anything at this time."

Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, seemed to relax a little, and asked again: "Then why are you asking these things? These things are not good for your body, Xingsi, you should take good care of your baby."

I shook my head: "You still don't understand, Shaoyu? The alliance between the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom, after this battle, will they break up like this? Xuanyuan Kingdom occupies the most affluent land of fish and rice in the Central Plains, and has gained such an important Will they be willing to end this battle?"

Shaoyu didn't speak, the young chest heaved violently.

Obviously, he is also worried about these things, but he doesn't want to show it in front of me.

This throne is indeed too heavy a burden for him. He has not had time to grow up, nor has he had time to mature enough to bear all this, but he has already been burdened by this burden, which seems to be hindered to a certain extent. his growth.

What's more, he has a specialization in art, and based on his experience in the past ten years and his personality, he is indeed not a qualified manipulator of property rights. He is a natural general, and he should hold the overlord gun and look majestic. bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield.

Such a him, and such me, against Nangong Yu, it's no wonder that they will be defeated.

But fortunately, we can redeem it!
Shaoyu glanced at my firm gaze, without further hesitation, and slowly said: "A month ago, that is, on the fourth day after you disappeared, the army of the White Tiger Kingdom had already marched eastward from Longhu Gorge, but in Qishan, Encountered Xuanyuan—your father’s resistance, the armies of the two sides faced each other for several days, and then—"

"What happened next?"

"Sanger sent troops from the north to the south for reinforcements, and after a day and night of fierce fighting, the Xuanyuan Army was defeated."

"Then, where is my father?" I looked at him nervously: "Is there any news about him?"

Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, looked at me, and finally said: "It is rumored that your father disappeared during the war. Some people said that he was killed in battle, and some said that he was captured by the White Tiger Kingdom, but these claims have not been confirmed. confirmed."

Although I was mentally prepared, when I actually heard these words, my heart was cut so hard that I almost stopped breathing.

My royal father...could it be true that something unexpected happened?
Shaoyu continued: "The people of the White Tiger Kingdom killed 20 prisoners of war and continued to move forward. It is said that they have passed Taozhou and are approaching Xingyuan Town."

Kill 40 prisoners of war? !

My eyes are almost red, what a vicious method, such a vicious heart!

I know that murdering prisoners of war involves great risks and condemnation, not to mention such a large-scale murder, and the people of Baihu Kingdom actually did this. Let my motherland lose the ability to resist!

But now, they have passed Taozhou and are approaching Xingyuan Town. Xingyuan Town and Fengxiang Town are two important towns to the west of Mengjing. If this line of defense is breached, then Mengjing will really be in danger.

Seeing my disastrous face, Shaoyu said softly: "Xing Si, you don't mean to—"

I turned my head to look at him, and shook my head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not send troops rashly."

Having reached this point, sending troops will not help, let alone people who don't understand it, but I know the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom very well. The reason why my father has resorted to all kinds of militarism, but he has never been able to achieve his ideal of hegemony is because the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom have not invaded. Sex, in war, is like a blunt spear that cannot win.

But the Xuanyuan people have another characteristic, that is, they are strong when they are strong.

My countrymen are not spears, but shields. When they are oppressed to a certain extent, the tenacity in their blood will be stimulated instead.As for the general in the court, Sima Ce is brave and foolish, but he dares to fight; Can last for a while.

And this period of time - I figured it out, it's less than half a month before Nangong Yazhen's big wedding.

his wedding...

As soon as I thought of this, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. I got up and walked back slowly, but just as I walked outside the door, I felt an unspeakable pain in my heart. I bowed my head and ate everything I just ate Spit it out.

"Xingsi?!"

Shaoyu was terrified, hurried up to support me, and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling very uncomfortable, hurry up and call the imperial doctor—"

I reached out to stop him: "It's okay, don't disturb others."

"But you-"

"It's common in pregnancy, don't worry about it."

Shaoyu looked at my pale face, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hand to hug me. I was a little surprised, but I couldn't say anything. I was carried all the way to the bedroom and put on the bed by him. He even took out a silk handkerchief and gently Gently wiped the dirt around my mouth: "Is it better?"

I looked at him with an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Ke'er, who was standing behind him, also had a very complicated expression.

I thought about it, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I still have the flesh and blood of the Ling family in my stomach, so I won't mess around. Your Majesty, go back, I'll just take a rest."

He seemed to hear the deliberate alienation in my words, bit his lower lip, straightened up, looked at me reluctantly, and could only turn around and leave.

In the days that followed, I obediently followed the doctor's orders every day, drank a lot of medicines for pregnancy and health, and often paid attention to walking around in the garden to make my body more stable.

After all, I used to have a good foundation. As long as I pay attention to it, my body will recover quickly.

And in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, the 28th.

Nangong Yazhen is getting married.

Ever since I married into Qinglong Kingdom, I was once the concubine of Prince Qinglong, and was given to Prince Dongping as Princess Dongping, and even became the virtuous concubine of Emperor Qinglong. And after General Nangong married the famous family of Baihu Kingdom, Shui Xunyou became the most grand happy event in Qinglong Kingdom in recent years.

Almost all civil and military officials attended this night's feast. Even though I hadn't arrived at Nangong Mansion, I saw the joyful scenes along the street from the curtains flying on both sides of the golden car. Nangong Yu is worthy of being the deacon of the Nangong family. He was not sloppy about his nephew's marriage. The whole business was plunged into a sea of ​​red. Every family could receive red envelopes. Every tree was wrapped in fiery red satin. Concentric knots are formed with red ribbons, like a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

It's just that red, so dazzling...

Trembling, I put down the curtain in my hand to calm down my disordered breathing. After driving for a while, the golden car finally stopped at a bustling place.

I was supported and slowly got out of the carriage. When I looked up, I saw that the magnificent and solemn mansion was full of people, all of whom came to the gate to meet them.

"Long live the emperor, long live the empress dowager."

"Let's get back together. Since tonight is a wedding banquet for a couple, there should be no such complicated etiquette."

"Thank you, Empress."

Everyone stood up, and I also saw that familiar figure.

He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, his long hair was tied high behind his head, exposing his beautiful and broad forehead, his features became more and more picturesque, and he was very handsome, even standing among a group of high-ranking officials, he stood out from the crowd, but his complexion was different How good-looking, a little pale.

That's right, he has probably been busy with his marriage these days, so he must not have had a break.

When I looked at him, he also looked at me, his eyes slowly fell from my face to my slightly protruding belly, I felt his eyes flash, and then walked in front of me: " The Empress Dowager is pregnant, and she came to Wei Chen's wedding banquet, she is really flattered."

I smiled faintly: "General Nangong's big wedding, how can I not have a reason for this palace?"

He was silent for a moment, looked at me, and said, "Please."

We followed him into the Nangong Mansion. At this moment, the inside has become a sea of ​​drums and music. All the guests gathered together, drinking wine, chatting and laughing happily, and it was a lively scene. When we arrived, everyone stopped and looked at it with burning eyes. Me and Nangong.

I calmly walked to the main seat, and when I looked up, I saw Xi Yuying sitting beside me.

She looked at me, startled for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to come.

And I sat next to her.

As soon as I sat down, I looked up and saw a familiar person sitting on the other side of the table, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure—Guan Guan!
When I saw her at first, I was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she is Shui Xunyou's younger sister, and Shui Xunyou is getting married today, so of course she should appear.

But, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that what is showing on that beautiful face is not the happy look that should be there, but a sinister aura instead.

It seems that there is a deep hostility towards someone.

Who is it?Could it be me?
Just when I was puzzled, Xi Yuying's voice rang in my ears:

"Princess Ruyi, you really surprised me."

With a heartbeat, I turned to look at her.

She also looked at me with a cold smile: "I said that I was dying, and I said it so heartbroken, but I ran away with the great general in the blink of an eye. It seems that not only what you want has changed, but also that you have changed your mind." It's changed even more."

"If the princess's words are meant to make me feel ashamed, then the princess doesn't have to worry about it." I said indifferently: "In this world, which woman's love life is not bumpy? Who is not the one who has experienced heartbreak and twists and turns?" Only after a thousand folds do you know who is the one who really treats you well?"

"Really good? Who is it? Ling Shaoyang?"

Hearing this name suddenly made my heart tremble slightly. When I looked up at her, there was obvious resentment on her face. Disappeared again.

Love, which woman doesn't have it?

And she still didn't seem to want to stop: "He didn't even want his life for you, but you, why didn't you elope with other men, by the way, you still have his father's flesh and blood in your belly—"

Clang!

A sudden crisp sound startled her and me, and when we turned our heads, it was Guan Guan, the wine glass in her hand slipped down and shattered.

She looked at me with a shocked expression, as if she had heard something incredible.
