The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 41 The Princess' Birthday
After waiting in the small wing for a long time, Wushuang scrubbed himself with hot water.Thinking that Xiao Junyi should leave, he pushed open the small door, and the other party was still sitting there, not even changing his posture!
He's still drinking, or rather drinking!

Wushuang pretended not to notice, rubbed on the skin care dew, went straight to the bed, was about to sit down, when Xiao Junyi said: "Her name is Xiangyun."

"what?"

"Haven't you always been curious about the queen's niece? I thought about it, and instead of others gossiping, I might as well tell you. Her name is Xiangyun, and she is a niece of the queen's distant niece. Because her parents passed away, she was adopted by the queen when she was 12 years old. Adopted in the palace, he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the emperor liked it very much, so he canonized her as the princess."

county lord...

A Princess Qianxue, a Princess Xiangyun, Xiao Junyi is really a favorite, Wu Shuang pretended to be indifferent and let out an "oh".

"Didn't you ask everywhere before, even Situ Liancheng didn't let go. Now, I would like to tell you, why do you look so careless?"

"It's not that I don't care, it's just..." It's just that all of them are from noble backgrounds, and in comparison, they feel even more humble.Wushuang wanted to say forget it, she was not curious anymore.But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xiao Junyi uttered the truth after drinking, and now is the best time to ask!

"I'm not curious about her background, I'm just curious about your relationship. Childhood sweetheart? Or..."

"She is my unmarried wife!"

As Xiao Junyi said, he seemed to see Xiangyun Fengguanxiapei's coquettish and coquettish appearance, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing left, so he couldn't help but took another sip of wine.

There is no fate in this life, maybe he can see her only when he is drunk.

"Wife? She is a wife, then I..."

Wushuang shut up abruptly, why did she ask this?Do you want to humiliate yourself?Sure enough, Xiao Junyi answered her expectation: "You are Mrs. Xiao!"

Yes, she is Mrs. Xiao.Mrs. Xiao, who was bestowed by the Queen Mother, and Xiao Junyi, his real name is Zhang!
Wushuang was a little aggrieved, and pretended to be disdainful: "Since you have said that she is your wife, why didn't you get married, and why haven't I seen her yet?"

"She died..."

Wushuang was startled, she didn't care about other things, she was only full of shock.

Xiao Junyi looked at the wine distorted by the candlelight, and murmured: "Three years ago, just the night before we were going to get married, she died..."

"She's dead...she's dead..."

Xiao Junyi repeated these words, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and drank the jar of wine in one gulp.From such a distance, Wushuang could even see the blue veins on the back of her hand. The pain and unspeakable sadness were heart-wrenching that she would never understand.

Seeing him drinking and coughing uncomfortably, Wushuang didn't stop him, she didn't know how to persuade him, maybe it's best to get drunk and relieve his worries.

In the cold night of late autumn, time passed by little by little, neither of the two sides spoke again, Xiao Junyi had been drinking, Wushuang got up and found a cloak to cover him.

Xiao Junyi raised his eyes and glanced at her, without saying a word, Wushuang said: "I won't ask, and I won't ask her again in the future."

"why?"

"No reason." Wushuang didn't answer, nor tried to persuade him to drink, but said, "Get drunk if you want, and I'm still here."

It was a casual word of comfort, but Xiao Junyi was really drunk after drinking, lying on the table in a daze, his body was cold.Wushuang struggled to get him to the bed, but in the end he vomited and screamed, and couldn't sleep all night.

Apart from "Xiangyun", there is nothing else in his mouth.

For a whole night, he held Wushuang's hand in a drunken way, sipping "Xiangyun" one by one, with a rare smile on his face.

Xiangyun, Xiangyun...

There is no way to express love and affection in the sentence.

If Wushuang didn't answer him, he wouldn't follow him, he was just a child who hangovered and messed around.It wasn't until she said: "I'm Xiangyun, if I don't leave, I'll stay here with you." He fell asleep peacefully, but his hand still didn't loosen, holding her firmly without any sense of security.

For the whole night, not to mention Xiao Junyi, even Wushuang fell into chaos.

She said that she was Xiangyun in front of Xiao Junyi, and seeing his smile, she should have been happy, but she couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart.She didn't know why, didn't know...

The next day, early in the morning.

The golden sunlight came in through the gauze window, and sprinkled on Xiao Junyi's face impartially. He opened his eyes uncomfortably, feeling a splitting headache.

The tip of his nose smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which did not dissipate all night before he realized that he was actually drunk.

For many years, he has never been drunk, not because he can drink well, but because he dare not get drunk, dare not relax his vigilance.But why are you still drunk?

Could it be that he was so relaxed and trusting in front of Mu Wushuang?

Thinking of Wushuang, Xiao Junyi turned his head to look for it, but there was no one in the bed at all.He was about to get up to look for her, only to find that she was lying on the head of the bed and fell asleep, and he was holding her wrist so tightly that it was already blushing a lot.

"Mu Wushuang..."

He called her softly, she murmured, and changed her sleeping position.

It was rare for her to be so quiet, her long black hair was loosely tied around her right ear, leisurely yet coquettish.The skin is as white as snow, the eyebrows are elegant, the sun is shining, and the stars are shining, like a white lotus flower in the afternoon, swaying in the clear pond, where the breeze passes, it is so beautiful.

Wushuang was so cold that she shrank into the bed, Xiao Junyi got up and hugged her to the bed, and the moment she covered her with the quilt, she seemed to wake up, opened her clear eyes, and looked at herself ecstatically.

His heart throbbed, he pecked her forehead lightly, took the coat by the bed, pretended nothing happened, and strode out of the room.Only Wushuang was left dumbfounded, thinking that it was just a dream, if not, why could he smile at himself like that when he was awake?So cheerful and bright!
The days back to Xiao's mansion always passed quickly, even if it was only for one day, Xiao Junyi refused to accompany her, went to the barracks, and disappeared for a whole day, until the evening when he left, he did not come back.

A few days later, it was Princess Qianxue's birthday, and the birthday party was held at Yugan Palace.

Kangshou Palace.

"Empress Dowager, the palace banquet is about to begin. The emperor invites you to Yugan Palace." This was the fifth eunuch who came to deliver the message.

The queen mother stared at the chess game on the table without moving a bit: "Will she go?"

"Her?" The little eunuch was new to the palace, so he didn't quite understand who this "she" was referring to.

"Lady Concubine Lan!" Before the Queen Mother got angry, Mother Ji hurriedly gave him a wink. The little eunuch didn't understand, and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I only know that the superiors have to explain, and everyone in the harem must attend."

"Boss, where's the boss! You bunch of scumbags, do you still have Aijia in your eyes!?" The queen mother was furious, "You go back to the emperor, and she won't go to Aijia. The Ai family can't afford to lose this man!"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, Mother Ji said: "Why are you standing there, why don't you go down quickly."

"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly withdrew.

The Empress Dowager looked annoyed, so Nanny Ji handed her a cup of tea, and said, "Your health is not good, Empress Dowager, don't be angry about these trivial matters. Today is the princess's 16th birthday, and the emperor loves her very much, so he said that he wants to make a big deal out of it." Not only the ministers congratulated, but even the neighboring countries sent people to congratulate the court. The servant girl passed by the Yugan Palace just now, and saw that it was very lively and festive. Why don't you go and see it too? You are going, the princess must be very happy .”

The queen mother was unmoved, but when she heard the foreign envoys arrived, she became even more annoyed: "This bastard, it is not enough to insult my royal reputation, but she dares to show up at a foreign guest's place, it is simply lawless, you go to the Liuli Palace to spread the mourning order , don't allow her to attend!"

"This..." Ji Momo was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the emperor."

"The emperor is here, and Ai's family is here! Didn't he always say that he wants to be filial to Ai's family? Why don't you stop with that bitch? With her in the palace, Ai's family will never be comfortable!"

The Empress Dowager was on fire when someone came back and reported: "Empress Dowager, there is news from the Liuli Palace that Concubine Lan is unwell and will not attend the Princess Chen Banquet."

Mother Ji was overjoyed: "Queen Mother, you see, the emperor still faces you."

The Empress Dowager's complexion immediately improved, and she ordered: "Change your clothes, and put on the Yugan Palace."

"Yes." Everyone got busy again, and before going out, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked: "Has Xiao Junyi's wife come?"

Ji Momo didn't know why she asked this question, and replied softly: "I heard that I have been in poor health, I haven't been out much, and I probably won't come tonight."

"It's just right not to come, and for some reason, when Aijia looks at her, he feels like looking at Concubine Lan, and he can't like it."

"Are they alike?"

The Queen Mother asked back: "Isn't it like?"

Nanny Ji shook her head, one is cold and the other is lively, they are clearly two people, how could they resemble each other.

"Could it be that Ai's family is getting old and can't even look good?" The queen mother was full of emotion, maybe it wasn't that she was old, but... a guilty conscience!

The Yugan Palace is full of people, and the Xianle and wine are very lively.

The starry sky is full of stars, the fireworks are bright, and the entire palace is covered with a layer of gold, which is as bright as day.

Wushuang lowered her book hat, and stood beside Xiao Xuanyu with her head down, feeling anxious, for fear of being recognized if she didn't pay attention.Fortunately, she is not from the imperial palace, and she is not eye-catching due to her disguise.

After the Empress Dowager, the palace banquet officially began.

Wushuang participated in many palace banquets, big and small, and this one was extravagant, which showed the emperor's love for Qianxue.

Wushuang secretly looked at the people present, many of them were unfamiliar faces, including foreign envoys and ministers of the court and China.Everyone gathered together, raised their glasses to celebrate, and were full of smiles. It was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Situ and his son also came, and Lian Sheng ate the fruit on the table with his head down, didn't drink, didn't care at all, and looked out of place.

That being the case, why bother to join the officialdom? Why do you still choose to obey when you obviously don't like it?

Every time he sees Lian Sheng, seeing Lian Sheng in the officialdom, Wushuang inevitably thinks of Lian Sheng in Yuzhou, so relaxed and carefree, although he is not a typical person, he is also free and easy.Unlike now, I clearly hate it but have to accept it.

Looking at Xiao Junyi who was not far from Lian Cheng, he also had an unpleasant expression on his face, drinking wine in self-care, with an attitude of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Many officials' wives are inconvenient, so they bring concubines, and some wives and concubines bring them with them, but Xiao Junyi didn't bring any of them!

Xu Shi Wushuang's probing gaze was too much, Xiao Junyi raised his eyes suddenly, instead of staring at her sharply, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled leisurely, and took advantage of the opportunity to raise his wine glass to her.

Wushuang lowered her head in a flustered state, only to see King Heng holding up the wine glass in return, and drinking it up with his head up.

It turned out that it was against Heng Wang, Wushuang blushed because of her own sentimentality.But when she raised her head, Xiao Junyi still looked at her with a playful expression. She was a little annoyed, and glared at him before he gave up embarrassingly.

They exchanged glances, and Lian Cheng took a sip of his wine in annoyance, which made him cough violently.His father patted him on the back and told him not to drink if he couldn't drink.

He, who was not very drunk, couldn't help being a little dizzy, those people who were spinning in his head, only her...only her...

So far, he still thinks it is just a dream. Why did they live happily in Yuzhou just a moment ago, and come to the palace and participate in this inexplicable palace banquet?
The long-sleeved dancers in the palace, the beautiful ladies in the palace...all had nothing to do with him, his eyes fell on her through the sea of ​​people.If time can be stopped, let's freeze at this moment. Since there is no fate in this life, just look at her from a distance, that's fine!

"Princess arrives"

The voice of eunuchs and spies was above the music.
