Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 116 Wishful thinking 2
Perhaps the Empress Dowager noticed that Xinyi was distracted, so she asked Hong Shanggong to take a bite of food for Xinyi and put it in a bowl.

"Miss Zhuang, come and try this dish." Hong Shanggong recalled her from memory, Xinyi hurriedly glanced at the Empress Dowager, saw her smiling at her, and thanked Hong Shanggong.

After the meal, Xuan Ting continued to chat with the Empress Dowager, Xinyi slowly walked to the bow of the boat and looked into the distance while leaning on the railing, Hong Shanggong came over.

After a few words of politeness, Hong Shanggong said in a low voice: "Since the girl has agreed to marry the prince, please don't think about the past, even if there are all kinds of reluctance!" Xinyi stared at Hong Shanggong, she He continued: "The prince has paid so much for the girl and accepted so much of the girl's past, shouldn't the girl treat the prince well?"

Xinyi lowered her head, and Hong Shanggong said: "How is the situation in the court, what the emperor will do, what the prince will do, you are not in your control, girl. If that is the case, why don't you obediently be your princess?"

Xinyi heard the implication of Hong Shanggong's words, and looked up at her.

"Princess Yi's seat, I don't know how many people are staring at it! Even if the girl sits in that seat now, if there is no support, I'm afraid she won't be able to sit for too long!" Hong Shanggong said, her expression always made my heart feel Yi felt uneasy.

"What does your lord mean?" Since it's all about this, and if you don't know, then just ask clearly, even if you can't hear the truth, even if it's a lie, you can still find clues.

Hong Shanggong smiled mysteriously, and said: "Young lady became the young lady of the Zhao family, do you know what Lafayette meant?" Xinyi didn't expect this, she didn't expect that it was the empress dowager who made Britain recognize her.

"The girl's marriage, without the support of Lafayette, it would be impossible to proceed to this stage!"

When Hong Shanggong said that, Xinyi guessed what she meant.

"Among so many people in the palace, the girl is the best. There are some things that I don't need to say, the girl should understand!"

"What does Lafayette want me to do?" she asked.

Hong Shanggong smiled slightly and said: "What Lafayette is looking forward to is nothing more than the love between the prince and the girl, otherwise what else can it be?" Good candidate. As long as the girl forgets the past and lives with the prince, she is repaying Lafayette's kindness!"

Xinyi couldn't believe that Lafayette didn't ask her anything, but it's impossible, she was just a court lady, how could Lafayette take it so seriously?Could it be that there is something else in it that I haven't noticed?
Around this marriage, originally only King Yu and the Prime Minister were operating, but Ming Xuanting unexpectedly married her, which disrupted the plans of those two parties.However, the Empress Dowager, who was originally hiding behind the scenes, appeared. She wholeheartedly supported Xuan Ting in deciding to marry his own wife. a good family background.This is strange, is the Empress Dowager really so enlightened, or does she have other plans?
Xinyi fell into deep thought.

Right now, all the ministers have seen that Xuan Ting is very likely to be the heir to the throne, and his marriage has of course attracted attention that shouldn't have been there.The empress dowager has always been the emperor's backer, and her love and support for the emperor are well known.She has kept a low profile these years, but why did she participate in Xuan Ting's marriage with such a big fanfare this time?Was it because she didn't want Xuanting to marry a woman with a background and seized the throne in advance?Or does she want to control Xuan Ting?
Xuanting's concubine is the daughter of the Zhao family, Xuanting's relatives are the Zhao family, and the Zhao family follows the empress dowager, so Xuanting will be restrained by the Zhao family, perhaps in this way, in this way Come, he lost the opportunity to inherit the throne.Because, the empress dowager and the Zhao family support the emperor!They won't let others get their hands on the throne, including Xuan Ting?

Immediately, these words, amiable and kind grandma, were no longer related to the Empress Dowager in Xinyi's mind.However, this incident made Xinyi truly feel the empress dowager's sophisticated political methods and her determination to achieve her goals by any means.

Facing such a strong political woman, Xinyi knows that she has once again become someone else's pawn.Lafayette was able to intervene in Xuan Ting's marriage in such a high-profile way this time, and gave Xinyi such a lowly person such kindness. One day in the future, the Empress Dowager will definitely receive a return from her investment.And when is that day?What would she want in return?Xinyi couldn't think of these.

Xinyi thought so, and looked back at the Empress Dowager and Xuan Ting who were chatting. In such a harmonious scene, could it be said that in order to keep Ming Xuanyu's throne, the Empress Dowager even used Xuan Ting?
However, maybe this is the royal family affection, this is the royal family affection mixed with power and conspiracy!

Thinking of this, Xinyi couldn't help lamenting for Xuan Ting, pity his helpless fate!
On the way back to the city from Xiyuan, Xinyi's mood was obviously depressed a lot. Although marrying Xuan Ting was not entirely out of her original intention, although she had always thought about canceling the marriage before, but now, after today, she has completely Immersed in deep pity for Xuan Ting.

He is such a good person, yet he is used by so many people, even his own grandma.Wouldn't he be too pitiful if even I was half-hearted towards him?
"My lord—" she pushed him, he was thinking about something.

"Huh?" He kissed her forehead and asked with a warm smile.

She wanted to say "I will take good care of you, I will always be good to you, I will forget the past, and I will not miss that person anymore", but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.She leaned in his arms, silent.

Perhaps, there is no need to say a lot of things, as long as you do it!No matter what he said, it would hurt him!

"Grandma said, the Zhao family will pick you up tomorrow, because the bride and groom cannot meet before they get married!" He said, and she lowered her head shyly.

Bride, I finally got married, even though I married not the one I love the most, but the one I love the most.If parents can see this scene, they will be happy too!
Thinking of this, she raised her head and stared at her groom.

The woman in his eyes is the person he loves the most. At this moment, she is not as naughty as usual, but she is showing endless charm, which can't help but make him feel distracted.

"Xin'er, I really love you!" As he said, he bowed his head and kissed her lips.

The carriage was parked on the side of the road, and the spring in the countryside made people so intoxicated.

As for him, his heart was filled with that supreme happiness, and his mind was full of imaginations about a better tomorrow.

The car started to go to the city again, she straightened her clothes and leaned against his arms.

"You go to Zhao's house tomorrow, we can only meet when we get married!" He seemed sad, and stretched out his fingers to count the days, "Two three, two four, two five, it will take six days until February eighth! It's too long !"

She laughed silently.

After losing the warmth of her family for many years, it was the first time she was taken so seriously, and her heart was full of sweetness.

"What if I want to see you? Will the British Guild kick me out?" She didn't expect him to say such childish words, she turned her head and smiled and said, "Yes, I will!"

"Then what should I do? I heard that the dogs in the British government are very fierce. Should I prepare some delicious bones every time I go!" He said seriously, "Yes, let the kitchen prepare a big I will carry the bone on my back, and if the Duke of England releases the dog, I will throw the bone out, haha, the Duke of England will have nothing to do!"

He was so proud that he clapped his hands for his perfect plan, Xinyi laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Yes, with him, always surrounded by such laughter, always so relaxed, without the slightest trouble.

Is this happiness?

Although she didn't understand, she was used to being cared for and valued by him so much.

The next day, the British government sent family members to Prince Yi's mansion to pick up Xinyi.In fact, according to the rules, Xinyi should go to the British government from the day the imperial edict was issued, but Xuan Ting has been worried about her health and worried about her going to Zhao's house. After all, the people there are unfamiliar, so it has been delayed until now.

The Zhao family had arranged for her a long time ago, and specially prepared a courtyard for her, completely treating her as their own child, which made Xinyi flattered.Facing such kindness, Xinyi is very calm.She knew that no one in this world would be so kind to a stranger like her for no reason, and she would definitely be rewarded for her efforts.The Zhao family is doing this according to the Empress Dowager's will, so in the end, the one who asks her for a reward will be the Empress Dowager.But what does the Empress Dowager need?These mysteries are beyond Xinyi's comprehension.

Xinyi's residence in the Zhao family is located in the garden of the Zhao family.The British Duke's grandchildren all lived in the garden, but they did not associate with her.She doesn't care about that either.After all, as long as you live until the 28th, why bother to have anything to do with them?

On the 25th, a person unexpectedly came to her, Ming Xuanyu.

At this time, Xinyi was embroidering with Cui Xiu and Qiaoer Lianer in the yard when a servant came to her.

"Miss, master, please go over there!" the man said.

Xinyi was puzzled, what would happen if the British government came to her?Put down the work in hand and followed.

When she came to Duke Ying's study, the servant left, and Xinyi went in by herself, but the strange thing was that Duke Ying was not there at all. She was just about to leave when she heard a voice wafting into her ears.

"It seems that you are a very leisurely bride!"

She couldn't move her feet at all, it was his voice, a voice that she was no longer familiar with.

Gradually, she heard his footsteps getting closer, although the sound was very soft, it was so clear to her.

Her lips kept trembling, and the sealed tears burst out of the gate like a flood.

Why, why does he always dismantle his defenses so easily?Why did he, why did he—

But what is he doing here?
