Queen Sun

Chapter 75
[-]. Peach's Yaoyao

The warm spring day and the slightly drunken wind are said to be auspicious days for marriage.Across the bright red hipa, someone outside seems to be singing: The peach blossoms are shining brightly; the son returns home, suitable for his family.

The young lady of the eldest grandson's family, even though her father died and her family declined, she is still a descendant of a famous family married from the Gao family in Bohai.At a young age, she knows better than anyone else the uninterrupted in-law covenant between the gentry.The second son of the Li family... had a mocking smile on his calm face. He heard his uncle say in private that a scholar who looked at him once said that he "has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the watch of the sky, and he will be able to help the world at the age of twenty." Let the people rest in peace."

"It's really treasonous words." Ruoshui murmured in a low voice, "Guanlong Li's family, it's no wonder uncle would..."

The happy car is moving forward steadily, but it will still be boring after sitting for a long time. There are people outside singing: peaches are so beautiful, there is a truth; the son returns home, suitable for his family.

The voice became clearer and clearer, as if not long ago, there was a person looking at him like this, the peach blossoms were falling, and the person's smile was warm: "Guanyin servant girl, you are as beautiful as the peach blossoms."

At that time, I was just a child, always thinking that the two would be together forever.But later, the house next door was vacant overnight, and later, father was gone, and now, it is the same to marry anyone.

The mother touched her head with pity: "Guanyin maidservant, Erlang of the Li family is good at riding and shooting, and has a strong temperament. You are afraid that you will suffer hardship when you marry."

Ruoshui smiled indifferently: "Isn't Dad also a general? Didn't Mother also marry here?"

The mother shook her head, but was so choked up that she could no longer speak.

Ruoshui came back to his senses, it seemed that he was about to arrive at Li's house.The curtain of the car was gently opened, she stepped out slowly, and was led by her brother to walk in step by step, and the sound echoed in her ears: Tao Zhiyao, it is Ye Zhenzhen; family.

Finally, after crossing the threshold, he vaguely saw a figure beside him, and then his left hand was held by him.The two walked a few steps forward together, then knelt down, kowtowed to heaven, earth, and the high hall, and finally the husband and wife bowed to each other, and the ceremony was completed.

Until being supported and kneeling on the wedding couch, Ruoshui's heart still couldn't make any waves, so she was considered married.

After waiting for a long time, the door was pushed open. I thought it was Guangyue and the three of them, but the strange but steady steps made Ruoshui's fingers tremble slightly. It was him, her husband.

Without any extra words, the veil in front of him was lifted, Ruoshui raised his head without timidity, and only slightly closed his lower eyelids, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young talent.

Li Shimin was a little surprised. This woman who was praised by her mother as both virtuous and virtuous, seemed to be a little different. She was not as shy or nervous as a newlywed, but she just looked at herself quietly like this. Say nothing.

"Your...your boudoir name is Ruoshui?" Li Shimin also sat down and poured two cups of tea from the teapot, "You haven't drank water all day, have you?"

Ruoshui took the cup politely: "Thank you husband, my concubine's name is indeed Ruoshui."

Li Shimin was a little uncomfortable. At sixteen years old, he already knew about the relationship between men and women, but the women he got along with before were mostly bright and charming, pretty and lovely, and it was rare for him to be so alienated.

"You can call me Erlang. Since we are married, we don't need to pay so much attention to etiquette."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have thought about it for a while, his tone became gentler: "Then I'd better call you Husband and Second Brother." After speaking, he showed a smile.

It was because he was fascinated by the other party's smile that Li Shimin forgot why his wife called him second brother, and after that, he got used to it after a long time.

There was silence between the two for a while, only the sound of a few candles burning.Ruoshui lowered his head, it seems that his husband-in-law is not such a difficult person to get along with.So he asked softly: "It's already late at night, should Second Brother rest first?"

Li Shimin replied with a little embarrassment: "Ah... yes, yes, there should have been troubles in the bridal chamber, but these days, my mother's health has not been very good, so I saved it. You are tired all day, let's sleep .”

Ruoshui smiled lightly, changed out of the heavy wedding clothes, lay down sideways, covered with a thin quilt, and left the husband-in-law next to him to the side.

Li Shimin stared at Ruoshui blankly for a long time, and only frowned when the other person's breathing gradually became steady.A girl who is only 13 years old, her face has not yet opened, and now she is just a delicate appearance, why does my mother insist on marrying her?After thinking about it, he also became sleepy, hesitated for a while, and lay down on the other side.

Only the flickering candles remained burning in the wedding room all night.

[-]. Xuanwu Gate
In the ninth year of Wude, in May, tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry invaded the frontier.

One day at the end of May, in the dead of night, King Qin stayed in the room of the princess.The eldest grandson looked at his gloomy husband, handed him a cup of strong tea and said, "Is there any movement from the prince?"

Li Shimin took the teacup and said with a sneer, "The Turks are attacking, Li Jiancheng actually proposed Yuan Ji and Li Yi to go to war, and also planned to take Yuchi, Duan Zhixuan, and Qin Shubao with them, are you deceiving me that Li Shimin is a three-year-old child?"

The eldest grandson glanced across the window lightly, and said slowly: "Are you planning to act first?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly, but his eyes were still cold.

"Winner and loser, have you thought about it clearly?" The eldest grandson's face was solemn.

Li Shimin said proudly: "Anshi aids the people, who else can I have?"

"Have you thought about the way out?" The eldest grandson's mouth curled up with a slightly mocking arc.

"I have never been defeated in my life, and of course it will be the same this time." Still absolutely confident and firm.

A trace of fatigue suddenly appeared in the eldest grandson's eyes, and his sleeves seemed to brush the teacup on the table inadvertently, only to hear the clear and piercing sound of breaking in the silent night: "Have you booked a date yet?"

"The fourth day of June." Li Shimin replied word by word.

The eldest grandson's hand trembled slightly, and then he turned sideways to cover up the expression on his face, and said in a calm tone, "I'll go with you."

Li Shimin was stunned: "What about Chengqian and the others?"

The eldest grandson's eyes turned cold: "If you are gone, will they still have a way out?"

For a moment, the two were speechless.

"Ruoshui, I won't lose. One day, we will stand on the highest seat in the world and look down on the common people." Li Shimin pulled his wife over and looked at her pale face intently.

The eldest grandson looked carefully at her husband's eyebrows, he lived to conquer, what about himself?I don't know if after experiencing life and death, will there be an answer?
On the second day of June, the weather has been extremely hot these past few days, and it seems that everything around is restless.The eldest grandson stood in the shade of a tree in the yard for a while, then hesitantly walked into the depths of the woods, pushed open a small door, and walked a few steps outside, at the corner of an alley, there was already someone waiting up.

The eldest grandson lowered his eyes, not wanting to see that familiar face.

"Ruoshui...I..." He hesitated for a while, but still couldn't say a complete sentence.

"In the future, we still don't want to see each other again." The eldest grandson opened his mouth and said, feeling sad in his heart, yes, we will never see each other again, first Brother A Liang, then him.

The other party obviously didn't expect it, and said after a long time: "I brought something to Chengqian, and the small bow and arrow that I promised him, I will give it to him when I come back this time."

The eldest grandson raised his head, and a bright smile appeared on his usually plain face: "That kind of place is no better than the capital, take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. He didn't want to listen, and couldn't listen to a word, or even a word.

On the tenth day of June, Prince Qin's Mansion.

The eldest grandson knelt and squatted in front of the nailed wooden door, his face was no longer calm and composed, and his eyes were so dry that it seemed that he could no longer shed tears.Slowly, she walked back, stood still by the well, looked down, the water was calm, those passionate eyes seemed to be staring at herself again, slowly, became stunned, became sad, and finally it was Smile without regret.

Everything around is quietly going away, and since that year, fate no longer belongs to me.

Xuanwumen, the field of life and death, turned out to be just another confirmation.
