My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 80

Shen Yan and Liu Ling's schedule was not fast, as soon as they arrived in Yejing, His Majesty's imperial decree of marriage arrived.The two returned to the mansion respectively, and instead of sitting down and having a drink of tea, they wanted to enter the palace to thank you for your kindness.

The emperor is not a matchmaker, he takes care of everything every day, and he doesn't always pay attention to the marital status of the people below.Regarding the marriages of ministers and descendants of aristocratic families, in the small story books circulated among the people, it is written that the emperor waved his hand and pointed at the marriage without asking the families of men and women. Enter the palace to thank Dade to thank His Majesty for the marriage.Generally speaking, in folk tales like this, the marriage bestowed by the emperor is all about evil fate.This is what the common people made up by themselves without knowing the real situation of the royal family.Just like a farmer who eats potatoes and cabbage every day, he always thinks about what the emperor and queen are envious of. At most, he eats a few more potatoes and cabbage than his own family.

In fact, throughout the ages, the emperor's gift of marriage is really not that simple.

The emperor didn't have that spare time to worry about other people's marriages every day. Even if he was so bored that he wanted to give a marriage to have fun, he would politely ask both men and women for their opinions in advance. If the two families were not willing, he would not join in the fun.Common people always think that the emperor is omnipotent. In fact, the emperor needs to balance various factors, and it must not be done by games.The words of the matchmaker, the orders of the parents.No matter how great Junwei is, he can't beat his parents.There was an example in the previous dynasty, the emperor wanted to marry his arrogant princess to a famous family, but even though the marriage proposal was made, the family still refused to let her in.The emperor also failed to do anything to the family, so he could only endure it, blaming himself for not communicating in advance.

Well, from a certain aspect of this example, it can also be seen how high the status of the aristocratic family was at that time, and the emperor didn't even give him face.This is also one of the reasons why the current emperor has been suppressing the family in all aspects.

But the marriage gift between Liu Ling and Shen Yan was obtained by Mrs. Shen who went to the palace to ask for it.This is already a happy ending, everyone is happy, get ready to get married behind closed doors.

Liu Ling left the palace alone, because Shen Yan had to go to the imperial study with his majesty to discuss business matters.When she returned to her own mansion, it was probably because of the unhappiness of the previous incident. Zhang Xiu personally came to bring her the He Qing of Dingbeihou's mansion.Other families also invited people to send posts and prepare gifts more or less, congratulating the princess.

A few maids were waiting for the princess to clean up, and Lingxi Lingbi stood and sat down, counting the posts sent by each family.Lingxi suddenly asked Liu Ling, "Princess, there is no post from Jiangzhou. Shall we write a post to inform the princess of her marriage?"

The relationship between Liu Ling's father and daughter is very stiff now. The daughter was given a marriage in Yejing, but the father didn't express anything in Jiangzhou.The orders of parents really didn't play any role in Liu Ling's marriage.Lingxi is also in a dilemma. The Guangping Wang couple are also the parents of the princess. There is no response there. They are really passive as children.

Liu Ling said slowly, "Write it. They will reply if they like, and it's better if they don't. It's not a big deal for you to write a post."

"I wrote it?" Lingxi was surprised, "Shouldn't you write it yourself, princess?"

Liu Ling snorted, picked up the hairpin on the table and gestured between the buns, her attitude was already obvious.The two daughters of Lingxi looked at each other, dumbfounded: The princess deliberately slapped the Quang Binh and his wife in the face.You don't have enough etiquette, but I'd still like to be polite.Although I asked the maid to write a letter to bother you, but at least I wrote it, and I was polite.

Lingxi Lingbi didn't speak, and continued to busy with the affairs in hand.They found that the princess's current temper was much better than the gloomy ones from time to time.Facing the affairs of Wang Guangping and his wife, they are not always full of hostility as before.Everyone can see that the princess is very happy now, this is what Mr. Shen brought to the princess.

Generally, when the decree of marriage comes down, dowry and the like must be purchased.After all, the emperor loved Liu Ling very much, and because he was embarrassed about the marriage, he directly asked the imperial concubine in the harem to do it for Liu Ling.The emperor didn't mention Liu Ling's parents, let alone others.

Not only that, when the sick old Lord Hou heard about Liu Ling's marriage, he insisted on holding on to his old bones and ordered people to call his sons and daughters-in-law.Old Hou Ye was much older, haggard and skinny, and spoke slowly, but he still made his meaning very clear. He wanted to open a private treasury and add makeup to Liu Ling, and no one was allowed to stop him.

Gold-inlaid green and gold hanging hanging, pines and clouds on the back, Liangshan Nanhong, makeup satin, velvet and eight-silk satin, Hanyu chime and red sandalwood seat, Biyamo Buddha head pagoda, black lacquer pen and inkstone table... There are so many things, let the housekeeper have a look Reading each piece, he occasionally twitched the corners of his mouth, pointing out one or two mistakes.These are just dead things, there are also custom-made thousand-work beds and other furniture, various Zhuangzi shops and other land, all of which are given to Liu Ling with a swipe of his hand.Everyone knew that the old Hou Ye wanted to leave all the things he had saved for most of his life to Liu Ling.

Dingbeihou Mansion felt awkward and somewhat reluctant.But because of the farce in the house before, although everyone didn't mention it, they knew it well and no one objected.Even Mrs. Hou, who has always been disliked by Liu Ling, stood quietly by her husband and listened patiently to the butler reading the account book without saying a word.

In the end, as Liu Ling's uncle's family, Dingbeihou's mansion also needs to add make-up.

After several rounds, Liu Ling's dowry is enough to be worthy of her title of princess.Even in Jiangzhou, under pressure from all sides, although they didn't like this daughter, the Guangping Wang couple still wrote back, explaining that they would also help her prepare the dowry.For example, the furniture that needs to be customized, as well as the embroiderers who are female celebrities, are all in charge of Jiangzhou, and Yejing doesn't need to worry about it.

This arrangement is very suitable. Those furniture embroidery workers are indeed more excellent and meticulous in Liu Ling's hometown.Simply, Guangping Wang and his wife didn't want to see this daughter either. With such an arrangement, they didn't have to meet each other during the marriage preparation period, and both parties were quite satisfied.

According to the normal procedure, for the princess's wedding, the Ministry of Etiquette needs to draw up a list and set up procedures, and also ask the Qin Tianjian to choose a good day and auspicious day, and wait for everything to be ready, no matter what, it will take a year to prepare.Even if you hurry up, you will have to wait for half a year.But in fact, there was less than two months to prepare for Liu Ling's wedding.

Because this is the request of the old marquis.

Before the sick bed, Lord Hou met Liu Ling.The old man who has been struggling for a long time can no longer get up, and he is out of breath when he speaks.Liu Ling knelt beside his bed, holding his hand.He was panting, the corners of his mouth trembling, how happy he was to see his granddaughter, but he was too tired to speak.

"Grandpa, don't talk, let me tell you, okay?" Liu Ling said softly.

"Grandpa, I have been to Beyond the Great Wall before, but I have never left Dawei. This time, I went with Mr. Shen. I left this country, but Mr. Shen accompanied me. He showed me many Scenery I've never seen before..."

"Actually, his world is completely different from mine. He showed me many things, and I liked them very much. This person was created by me by luck, but it was I who fought for it to get to this point. I am very happy to be able to marry him, and you, Grandpa, will be happy for me too. After I married him, Master Shen said that we will not live in the Shen family, but in his current mansion. That is to say, I don't have to talk to Shen The elders of my family are entangled. Grandpa, Mr. Shen has fought for the greatest welfare for me. This is already the best ending."

"The Shen family is very good. Their family is very open. Although they have lost as an aristocratic family, their family has gone the best in the balance between the aristocratic family and the imperial power. Mrs. Shen led me to see the rest of the Shen family. Aunts, although they don't like me very much, they don't hate me either. Grandpa, I have been hated and flattered all year round. It's very good to meet such an in-law. "

She paused for a long time, lowered her head, and gently touched the old man's hand with a low voice.

"Grandpa, I often think about my childhood. I am very grateful to you. You pulled me out when I was in the most difficult time. I can go today because you pulled me back. You raised me , see a doctor for me, help me find friends of the same age, and even see a husband for me... I like you very much."

"Grandpa, don't feel guilty. Your kindness to me has already surpassed the little selfishness back then. I don't blame you."

She rambled on for a long time.The tears in the old master's eyes rolled down her cheeks and splashed on her clasped hands.

Old Hou Ye trembled and closed his eyes, tears kept streaming.A-Ling said she didn't blame him, but when he was old, he always thought about that matter.

That incident ruined A Ling's life.

Her relatives are using her, and she has no one close to her.She can grow up, relying on her own will.What did he do to help her?nothing.He didn't understand A Ling's thoughts, he couldn't understand how difficult it was when A Ling was seriously ill, and he couldn't know how miserable it was when A Ling walked alone in a strange town with her back.

As I get older, I regret it more and more day by day.

What is even more embarrassing is that Dingbei Hou's Mansion and Guangping Wang's Mansion have re-established friendship, and his good son and daughter-in-law are all willing to forgive Guangping Wang and his wife.When he closed his eyes, A-Ling had no place to stay.

So he can't close his eyes!

He endured, holding on to his breath, and he also wanted to see the day when A-Ling found a place to live!
He wants to see the day when Ah Ling is truly happy.When she is ready, he can close his eyes in peace.

When Shen Yan was ushered in, he saw the warm state of the grandparent and grandson getting along.Shen Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly walked forward and greeted the old Hou Ye.

Liu Ling saw Lao Hou raised his hand, pointing at Shen Yan.She looked puzzled, not knowing what grandpa's purpose was.Shen Yan was also puzzled, and when he got closer, Old Hou Ye's hand was still stretched out towards him, trembling violently in mid-air.

Shen Yan firmly held the hand of old master Hou who fell down.

The old Hou Ye looked at him with a slightly relieved gaze, and exerted strength with his hands.

Liu Ling was in a daze, and saw that the old Hou Ye put her hand into Shen Yan's with all his strength, and motioned for the two to shake hands.

"Old Hou Ye," Shen Yan hesitated slightly, and took Liu Ling's hand behind her back, calm and self-confident, "I will treat her well."

The old Hou Ye opened his mouth, Liu Ling put his ear close to the old man's slightly moving mouth without hesitation, his voice was weak, "A Ling... Grandpa... hope, hope you... get married soon. I'm afraid, afraid... ..." I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, and I will change over time.

Liu Ling nodded quickly, "Grandpa, when do you want us to get married? How about tomorrow?"

"..." Shen Yan glanced at her speechlessly.

The old Hou Ye, who had been ill for a long time, was dizzy all day long, but at this moment he was smiling. Little A Ling was so anxious... He didn't think she was shameless, but only thought she was frank and cute.

He said, "Shen Yan, A Ling will leave it to you."

Shen Yan saluted solemnly.

After seeing the two of them for so long, Old Hou Ye was already exhausted.The maid outside the door reminded them that Lord Hou needed to rest.Seeing that Lord Hou closed his eyes, Liu Ling stood up.She stood side by side with Shen Yan, looking at the old man sourly.Seeing her not moving for a long time, Shen Yan sighed, took her hand, and led her out.

But when he reached the threshold, Liu Ling refused to leave.

She lowered her head and thought for a long time, then raised her head, "Master Shen, please say goodbye to my grandpa."

"..." Shen Yan was stunned. If he said goodbye only now, was he singing an opera with the gift just now?
Liu Ling pursed her lips, "I want you to change your tune and call him 'Grandpa' just like me."

The old Hou Ye who had closed his eyes in the bed suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards the door.Under the sun, the young man stood beside the girl, his body tall and upright, he turned his head and met the expectant eyes of the old master.

Shen Yan smiled and said softly, "Okay."

"Grandpa, Liu Ling and I are leaving, and I will see you again some other day. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will love Liu Ling and make her happy."

"You, you have to love her like I do..." The corners of the old Hou Ye's mouth trembled, his voice was weak.

Liu Ling couldn't hear the old Hou Ye's voice, but Mr. Shen obviously heard it.He replied, "I will love her more than grandpa."

One is "the same" and the other is "more".The requirements are different, and the experience is different.Previously, Old Hou Ye only knew that Shen Yan was strict and self-disciplined, and he was ruthless when handling cases.Now, in the young man's reply, he saw Shen Yan's arrogance and confidence for the first time, as well as his little care for Liu Ling, which reassured the old Hou Ye.

After meeting the old Hou Ye, Liu Ling was not in a good mood.Shen Yan didn't say much at the time, but the next day, when Liu Ling entered the palace, she was taken aback by the suggestion from the imperial concubine that the wedding would be held in two months.

The imperial concubine was surprised, "A Ling, don't you know? It seems that Master Shen made a unilateral decision. Mrs. Shen entered the palace overnight and mentioned this to me."

Surprised, Liu Ling lowered her head and smiled.Mr. Shen remembered her hesitation and sadness. He didn't say anything, but he did a lot for her.Indeed, it is always not good if the woman proposes to hold the wedding in advance.But when Liu Ling went to mention it to Shen Yan, it still seemed that she was too anxious.Shen Yan suggested to Mrs. Shen directly, saying that he was in a hurry.

The imperial concubine covered her mouth with a smile, and told Liu Ling about the gossip Mrs. Shen told her last night.

It was rare for Shen Yan to go home, so she mentioned to Mrs. Shen about the early marriage.Mrs. Shen was very puzzled, "You are all engaged, why are you in a hurry? A wedding is a lifelong event, you don't know about the banquet, mother has been looking forward to this day for a long time. You children really don't know what you are thinking What, your aunt is born to be loveless. Tell me that Yu'er seems to plan not to marry for life, and to become a monk when she gets old. She has long since despaired. You, you are not much better than Yu'er... Hey, let’s not talk about that. The marriage is always settled, the Shen family is not a small family, and the marriage cannot be satisfied..."

Shen Yanlin looked at Mrs. Shen talking eloquently. After eating, his mother's scolding was not over yet, so he interrupted sincerely, "I'm in a hurry, really in a hurry."

"..." Mrs. Shen was speechless.

So Mrs. Shen went into the palace and told the imperial concubine.

But Liu Ling just laughed, but looked ignorant.

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Since Ah Ling doesn't know, do I need to wait a little longer and I'll talk to Mrs. Shen?"

"No need," Liu Ling replied, "I'll follow what Auntie and Master Shen want."

The imperial concubine conveyed the meaning to His Majesty, and of course there will be no problem with His Majesty.His Majesty also hinted that this wedding is going to be a big deal, because the Great Wei was at war with the ancient kingdom of Yi, and the people would inevitably be uneasy. In order to show the prestige of our country, His Majesty wants to use this beautiful wedding to give the people all over the world peace of mind.Everyone is fine, but the problem lies with the Ministry of Etiquette. The marriage preparation process, which was originally slow, has been brought forward by nearly a year.Nothing was ready, and the ritual department was suddenly busy.

The imperial concubine discussed with Liu Ling and decided to let Liu Ling marry out of the palace.Liu Ling thanked the imperial concubine for her kindness. After all, in Yejing, she and her uncle's family had just had a tense fight, and her parents' decision to return to Beijing was very reluctant. If the imperial concubine ignored her, she would not know where to marry.

Xu Shijin smiled lightly, "What's the rush? Your surname is Liu, and you were wronged because of the marriage. Marrying from the palace is your majesty's compensation for you. What a beauty, those other princesses and princesses are not as good as you are now. Nice style."

In Liu Ling's mansion, Xu Shijin was ushered in just after sending off a group of people.Xu Shijin has been keen on socializing with Liu Ling recently, and the enlightenment he gave to his friends before marriage also made Miss Xu happy.

Liu Ling sat in front of the vanity mirror, watching Miss Xu look through the gifts she received.Liu Ling guessed in her heart that her marriage could be so smooth, she did nothing to cancel the marriage, and the marriage brought her such great benefits now, Miss Xu contributed a lot.But Liu Ling and Xu Shijin never thanked each other back and forth, he knew in his heart, remember the kindness, and just go back next time.

Liu Ling propped her chin and looked at Xu Shijin, "You make me very puzzled. Even though we have a good relationship, I think you don't want to see me often, do you? But you come to me every day recently, Xiaojin, you are very strange."

Xu Shijin turned around and smiled warmly at her.Ms. Xu stood gracefully, and her smile was specially modified, and there was nothing wrong with it.At any time, she smiles very sincerely, making you feel that you can dig your heart out with her.But it's not a good thing for you to really dig your heart and soul out with her.

But at least, Xu Shijin was sincere to Liu Ling.

Miss Xu Yingying walked over, took Liu Ling's hand, and looked at her with joyful eyes, "A Ling, I didn't want to see you before because you have my shadow on you. Seeing you is like seeing me I had a miserable childhood. But now I am very happy to see you, to see you happy, and it also gives me the feeling of seeing my own future shadow - I like this feeling. And between the two of us, as long as there is one happy, I have great courage to go on.”

Liu Ling looked calmly, looking at Xu Shijin quietly.What happened to Xu Shijin in Yejing was fragmented, and Liu Ling had some guesses.The more he guessed, the more he felt sorry for Xu Shijin.But Ms. Xu likes power, and she came out of this game herself.

Liu Ling never interfered with Xu Shijin's decision, and Xu Shijin never listened to her.But maybe it was Shen Yan who softened Liu Ling's heart a lot. Liu Ling really wanted to say something to Xu Shijin, "Xiao Jin, do you know that Master Shen and I have discussed the failure and success of marriage. Why are there so many marriages in the world?" Why do so many men change their minds, and even high-ranking women change their minds. Mr. Shen and I have discussed such things."

Xu Shijin stared blankly at Liu Ling in a daze.

She was sad and envious at the same time, and murmured, "Even this kind of thing, you guys will talk about it." She turned her head sideways, her long eyelashes flying up in the sunlight, and her emotions were complicated, "A Ling , I guess you and Shen Yan have a very good relationship. I know Shen Yan is a very good man, responsible and thoughtful, he is full of charm, and Ye Jing likes many girls of him. He is willing to do this kind of thing even with him You said...he was really nice to you."

Where would an average man discuss this kind of thing with his lover?Sweet talk is enough.

Love is a momentary love, and the collision of thoughts can determine whether two people are compatible or not, and whether they can live a happy life.

Most people die at this link.

So did Xu Shijin.

She didn't know that there really were men who could do what a girl expected.

Liu Ling smiled slightly.

She recalled her conversation with Shen Yan.

At that time, on the way back to Beijing, the two met a village girl who passed out on the road.After the village girl woke up, she said that she was going to a place to find the man who gave her a divorce certificate.This man studied hard and left his hometown. After high school, he went to a county to become a county magistrate.He wants to withdraw from the betrothed girl at home and marry the daughter of his teacher.The village girl wept uncontrollably, her parents persuaded her to forget it, but she insisted on finding that heartless man and fighting him to death.

It happened to be traveling together, so Liu Ling decided to take this girl for a ride to see the ending.The ending was actually in her expectation. When they arrived in that county, it was the day when the young county magistrate got married.The village girl slipped away from Liu Ling's servants and made a big wedding banquet, embarrassing for both parties.The newlywed was so angry that she wanted to call off the engagement, and was taken away by her parents, leaving a mess to the county magistrate and village girl.

By the time Shen Yan and Liu Ling left, the tug-of-war wasn't over yet.Even if the teacher's daughter is unwilling to marry, the county magistrate still does not want to marry his original fiancée.Not only did he not want to marry, but he hated the girl who ruined his wedding banquet.

Liu Ling was filled with righteous indignation at this matter, but Shen Yan showed indifference.Liu Ling was simply surprised, "Why don't you feel angry? Shen Yan, it's not in your nature that you think that man did the right thing, right?"

Liu Ling looked at him, if Shen Yan had such thoughts in her heart, she would definitely break with him.

Shen Yanman said, "Other people's affairs, why do you substitute yourself so much? It doesn't matter whether it's a cheating person or a girl who clings to a cheating person, it's not us. I don't have so much sympathy for others. "

Liu Ling thoughtfully nodded her head slowly.Yes, Shen Yan is Jin Yiwei, he is in charge of torture and cruel officials, so he really shouldn't have too much sympathy.His heart is too soft, he has to be tortured to death by himself, he can't do something like Master Shen.

Liu Ling took his arm and leaned in his arms, puzzled.It was because of Lu Mingshan's abandonment of himself, and also because of the county magistrate's abandonment of the village girl, "Why do men always abandon the original person and find a better one once they become successful?" She felt that there were too many prejudices in her words , and added, "The same is true for women. The fiancé is incapable, or the husband can't support the wall. It's okay if there are no conditions. If there are conditions, it will be difficult to stay. Is love so fragile?"

Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "Think about it another way. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, abandoning your old love is because the lives of the two parties cannot be synchronized. It is really for love, which can be said to be very few. Even if it is for love on the surface, if you think about it deeply, It is also because there are better choices in front of us. It is instinct for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is morally condemned, but there is no way.”

Liu Ling's eyes flickered.

"So, I don't agree with unconditionally sacrificing myself for the sake of retaliation, especially girls." Shen Yan thought, and said slowly, "People are selfish, but throughout the ages, it seems that men's inferiority is more terrifying than women's. Changes in thinking. Compared with men, girls have a shorter flowering period, so they need to cherish themselves more. For a person, sacrifice yourself. When you praise the other person to the sky, it is time for the other person to leave you. Human life is cheap "Shen Yan patted Liu Ling's head, "I am a man, and I understand men's thoughts better. Liu Ling, men are terrible creatures. Their thoughts always make you feel unbelievable. Don't be deceived."

"If you say this, isn't marriage doomed to failure? Is it wrong for a woman to love her man? Should she be more selfish and just focus on herself?" Liu Ling frowned, "But too selfish, doing wrong things, abandoning A man becomes a woman. Women are scary too, and I understand women too. You men can never think of a woman being bad."

"So let me tell you, both sides need the same thing."

The two of them chatted, talked, expressed their views, and listened to each other's ideas.Finally, Liu Ling asked Shen Yan, "What kind of marriage do you think can go on without dying halfway?"

"Husbands and wives are always equal in status, never look up to each other, and don't regard each other as their own life-saving straw. The two sides are always equal, so that they can always have common topics, and can always have a proper judgment on a matter. Walking alone Too fast, but the other party can't keep up, and you can only watch your lover become stronger and stronger. At this time, you should not rejoice that you have an excellent lover, but think about how you can stand with him instead of always chasing after him."

"He loves you and will wait for you to catch up step by step. But what if he is too good? What if he walks too fast and you walk too slow? Don't give yourself a chance to test your loyalty. Once or twice is fine. Resist the temptation, three or four times, it's really not necessarily true."

Liu Ling nodded.

This is also her love.

No one was in front of the other, she and Shen Yan stood side by side, the turbulent waves crashed on the shore, singing softly, the raging wind and waves, the misty rain and the scenery, all passed under their feet.

Liu Ling said to Xu Shijin, "Do you know what I mean, Xiaojin?"

Xu Shijin was slightly stunned, and sighed, "I am not equal to him... I am attached to him, and he gives me everything... I walked too fast, and he felt scared." She looked at Liu Ling, more I envy Liu Ling and Shen Yan.

Xu Shijin smiled slightly, "But Ah Ling, you don't have to persuade me."

Liu Ling frowned, thinking she was going to say something like "I've made up my mind".But Xu Shijin said, "Because, as you and Mr. Shen said, I am also a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. This relationship makes me more and more disappointed. I forgive him once, forgive him twice. Until the third time At that time, I couldn't stand it anymore. So, I decided to leave him."

"Ah..." Just like Mrs. Shen who heard this for the first time that day, Liu Ling was too shocked to say anything.

Xu Shijin said, "Crown Princess, I don't want it. Power, I don't want it. Status, I don't want it anymore. I don't think I deserve these things. He is so wary of me. If I go on, I won't get anything. "

Liu Ling didn't speak, but fixedly looked at Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin said it was easy, but in fact, how could it be so easy?

Xu Shijin started as a female official, overtly and secretly, he did many things for the prince.Up to this point, people like Liu Ling who sit around at home every day have heard some gossip about the princess.How could Xu Shijin have left?She has already been involved in this circle, how could the prince throw her away as a pawn when she said "I regret it"?

Liu Ling thought, does she need to help Xiaojin?
Xu Shijin winked at her, smiled mischievously, and said, "Don't worry about me. This matter doesn't bother me. I have already told His Highness that I will leave Yejing and go south to help him deal with some problems." It's not convenient for him to come forward. I can't suddenly throw away the power in my hand and don't want it, he will doubt my motives. I will withdraw step by step. At least now, I hinted to him, Crown Princess, I don't want it anymore. "

After a short pause, Xu Shijin smiled sadly, "He probably doesn't want me to ask for it either."

Thinking about giving up on her, although Liu Wang was puzzled, he was relieved.

She is so poor.

"You want to go south?" Liu Ling stood up in shock, "Are you going to leave Yejing?" Her eyes flickered slightly, "If you want to retreat step by step, doesn't that mean...in this lifetime, if the crown prince stays in Beijing for a day, you never come back?"

"Yes," Xu Shijin nodded, "In order to retreat cleanly, and to prevent him from treating me as a thorn in the side, it is impossible for me to return to Yejing again."

Liu Ling was speechless for a while.

Xu Shijin smiled, "I won't go so fast, at least I will definitely attend your wedding." Her smile was forced and difficult to maintain, "I can't believe it, I am good at dancing, but the only true friend is you, Ah Ling. I used to be upset when I saw you, but now I think that I may never see you again for the rest of my life, and I start to miss you again. Ah Ling, you are really like my mirror, I don’t want to see it, but I can’t let it go.”

Xu Shijin said softly, "From my birth to my age, I never left Beijing one day. But for the rest of my life, I may never return to Beijing. I don't have any close friends in Yejing, and my relatives are not close to me. I Walking on the edge of power, I can afford it and let it go, and sometimes I hate these hypocrisy. I thought I hated Yejing...but when I really thought about leaving, I felt sad. It was the place where I was born and raised, but I... You got yourself to the point where you had to leave."

"You... there must be other ways." Liu Ling was flustered.

Xu Shijin shook his head, "A Ling, I have always relied on myself. Entering the palace back then was the only thing I asked for. What I can do on my own, I never force others. Favors need to be repaid, and I ...A Ling, I can't afford it. I can't even pay anyone's favor."

Liu Ling held her hand and remained silent.

Xu Shijin held her hand instead, and smiled, "Your hand is cold and hot for a while, which means that your mood is unstable. Good Ah Ling, I should be the one who should be sad, why do you replace me..." She looked at Liu Ling After a while, he lowered his head and covered his reddened eye circles, "I have done many things wrong, probably the only thing that is not wrong is that I never lost you."

Xu Shijin has nothing left, she only has Ah Ling.But A Ling is not hers either.

Thinking about her current situation, she found it ridiculous.

There are also sorrows, but not many.Since she made that decision, it was more relief than discomfort.For many years, she did not have such a relaxed state of mind.She and the prince had made an initial agreement, so she began to pack her luggage slowly.Because I know that I may never return to Beijing again, many items can be destroyed or given away.

Picking and picking, most of Xu Shijin's items were given to Liu Ling.Xu Shijin was reluctant to let go of what Liu Ling wanted in the past, and when he was getting closer to Beijing, he gave it away.

But every evening when Liu Wang asked someone to give her a small gift, she was reluctant to give it away or throw it away.This is her dead love, even if she leaves, she will carry these with her.

Liu Wang still gave her presents every evening.

Xu Shijin smiled quietly, counting the days.

Two months later, it will be the wedding of Liu Ling and Shen Yan.Liu Ling got married from the palace and went all the way to Shen's residence.Liu Ling and Shen Yan would not go back to Shen Yan's mansion until the next day, when the newlyweds met the elders of Shen's parents.

The night before getting married, Xu Shijin entered the palace and sat with Liu Ling under the water corridor for one night.Despite the concubine's disapproval, Liu Ling still led Xu Shijin to see her Fengguanxiapei in advance.The wedding clothes are woven with emerald green method, the cloud pattern of the flowing fire phoenix, and the auspicious pattern embroidered with multicolored woolen thread.Birds facing the phoenix, spread out, one color when viewed from the front, another when viewed from the side, one color under the lights, and another in the shadows.Such gorgeous and elegant clothes were embroidered by all the embroiderers in the most famous embroidery village in Ningzhou.When it was sent to the palace, the imperial concubine was also amazed.

Guangping Wang and his wife were not enthusiastic about Liu Ling's marriage, but they didn't mention the nearby furniture. Just such a wedding dress, it can be seen that they also put their heart into it.

Liu Ling's feelings towards that couple were really complicated.

Xu Shijin touched the stitches with his hands, "That's great."

Her best friend is finally getting married.As if she was married herself, that was beautiful.

Xu Shijin sincerely wished Liu Ling.

She put all her thoughts on Liu Ling's marriage, so when she met Shen Yu at the wedding banquet, she was very surprised.It's not surprising to see Shen Yu, after all, it's impossible for Shen Yu not to be there for Lord Shen's marriage.What was surprising was that as Liu Ling's good friend and a girl from the Xu family, she and Shen Yu were the only ones left out when arranging the seats at the wedding banquet.Let the two have to set up another table.

Shen Yuyang raised his eyebrows and yawned nonchalantly. He didn't care who was next to him. When he saw there was wine, he stepped forward to fill it up for himself.

Looking at the noble young master who didn't look at her, Xu Shijin turned his head and looked deeply into the bright red behind him.

Is this an opportunity that A Ling deliberately gave her?

Interesting.

Xu Shijin's eyes were slightly hot, and he did not refuse: Shen Yu was also her childhood friend.

If she was going to leave Beijing, she also wanted to say goodbye to Shen Yu.But the Shen residence didn't welcome her, and Mr. Shen's whereabouts were a mystery, and he didn't take the initiative to look for her. Xu Shijin had no chance to meet Shen Yu.

A Ling gave her this opportunity to say "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my mistakes" to Shen Yu, and to say "goodbye" to Shen Yu. She was... very happy.
