Li Rong's last sentence before her death was about Pei Wenxuan, the man who had lived as her husband for thirty years.
After she finished speaking, she lost consciousness. She thought that she was doomed. How could she be able to endure the poisonous poison of Xiangmeiren, with her long-sick body
But I never thought, I don't know how long it took, she woke up again!
When she woke up, she slept on a soft bed, with the warmth of the sun shining into her bedroom, surrounded by the incense of her favorite orchid when she was young.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and heard a familiar voice that was slightly distant: "Your Highness, are you awake?"
When Li Rong heard the voice, she turned her head, and there was a demure and gentle smiling face in front of her. That face was not beautiful, but it was pretty. She looked almost twenty-five, dignified and calm, just like the person she remembered. reflect.
She called out in disbelief, "Jinglan?"
The other party smiled and stretched out his hand to help her up, and said softly: "It's now time, and His Majesty has just come down to court, and someone came to give instructions, saying that it was lunch with Princess Xuan. ."
Li Rong listened to Jinglan's words and looked around, and she was a little shocked.
She stood up following Jing Lan's movements, and looked around while washing her face. After she washed her face, she finally determined that this was Changle Palace.
Changle Palace was where she lived before she left the court, and Jinglan was her personal attendant. Jinglan accompanied her from Changle Palace until she got married, and later became the head of the Princess Palace.
When she was young, she didn't like Jinglan very much. She felt that she was prudent and unflattering in her speech. Instead, she preferred Jingmei who was more pleasant, but her mother liked Jinglan, so after the construction of the Princess Mansion, Jinglan still became the head of the Princess Mansion. thing.
It wasn't until she was assassinated at the age of 30 and Jinglan died in front of her that she blocked the sword for her.
Looking at the living Jinglan and the old palace when she was young, Li Rong calmed down and finally admitted that she seemed to be alive again.
And, it's back to when she was young.
She needs to determine what time it is as soon as possible, but she doesn't want people to notice. She washes her hands, recalls what Jing Lan said before, and tentatively asks: "My father announced that I am having dinner, but I asked why?"
Although her royal father seems to be very fond of her, she rarely announces her to eat. Every time she goes there, it is a feast for the family.
"I don't know," Jing Lan said, but after thinking about it, she added, "But I heard that a few days ago, Your Majesty asked each family to submit the portraits of young marriageable people."
Oh, that is indeed the wedding meal.
Li Rong took the handkerchief from Jinglan's hand. After wiping her hands clean, she raised her hand and asked the attendant to change her clothes. After she was dressed, she took a small golden fan from the side and stepped into the sedan chair. The Hall of Supreme Harmony rushed over.
It was a little difficult to recall the past, but it gradually became clear in the creaking sound of the sedan chair.
She remembered that before the age of eighteen, her relationship with her father, Emperor Li Ming, was still good.
She is the eldest princess born directly from the palace, and Li Ming's first child. He treats her very well when he beats little Li Ming, even better than her prince brother Li Chuan.
She cherished Li Ming's kindness to him very much, because she didn't know where the idea came from when she was young, and she realized early that it was extremely rare and precious for an emperor to be kind to you. So she tried her best to please Li Ming.
In fact, her nature is naughty, but because Li Ming often told her that women should be demure and virtuous, she has been suppressing her temperament and pretending to be a "demure and virtuous" princess.
The better she pretended to be, the more Li Ming liked to praise her, often saying that she was the best of his many children, and if it wasn't for a daughter, she would be the best.
When Li Ming praised her back then, she worked even harder, and it wasn't until later that she understood what it meant to be flattered.
She has unconditional trust in Li Ming.
An ordinary princess should have a marriage at the age of fifteen, and then it is logical to get married, leave the palace, have a fief, and build a princess mansion.
But when she was fifteen years old, Li Ming said that he was reluctant to marry his daughter, so he let her stay for a few more years, and she believed such a statement.
I stayed until the age of eighteen, when her mother became ill, Li Ming finally decided to marry her. He took the portraits of four sons for her to choose. These sons were all noble and handsome. She chose from left to right and chose Pei Wenxuan who looked the most handsome.
When she came back to check, she was shocked by Pei Wenxuan's life experience.
Pei Wenxuan looks good.
He is handsome in appearance and has a gentle temperament. He is the eldest son of the noble Pei family, and can even be compared with Su Rongqing, the first noble son of Huajing.
The problem is, he doesn't have a father.
I heard that he was the champion of high school at the age of seventeen. Who knew that his father Pei Lizhi died suddenly, and he was driven back to his hometown in Jinling by his second uncle Pei Lixian in the name of keeping filial piety. Three years were not long or short. All of them belonged to his second uncle. They randomly arranged for him an eighth-rank petty officer, and looked at the cell in the punishment department. Anyone with eyes would know that Pei Wenxuan's life was not easy.
Even, having this identity, he will be able to live for a long time.
This is equivalent to a broken household in the aristocracy. She naturally refuses to marry such a person.
So she quickly inquired about the other three candidates.
The three candidates are Lu Yu, the son of the Marquis of Ningguo, Yang Quan, the second son of Marshal Yang, and Cui Yulang, the champion of the new division.
I don't know if I don't ask, I'm startled when I ask.
That Lu Yu, according to rumors, he was born stupid, but his mother kept covering it up. When Ning Guohou left, the position of the prince would be gone sooner or later.
That Yang Quan, he is a lunatic, he has been soaking in the military camp since he was a child. He killed people with a knife at the age of seven.
And Cui Yulang, who was born in a poor family, doesn't have any major shortcomings in principle, but the problem is that this person's biggest hobby in life is to go to the brothel and write some poems for those brothel women. What's the future
Among the four candidates for her husband-in-law, there is not a single one of them who is not a scumbag. I don't know how much effort her father has spent to come up with such a list of candidates for the worst husband-in-law in the world.
After inquiring about the identities of the four people, her heart became cold. When she went to her mother that night, she wanted to regret her marriage with Pei Wenxuan, but the first thing her mother heard was to tell her: "You Gotta go with him."
Li Rong was stunned at the time, and then listened to her mother calmly said: "Now the crown prince is too popular in the court, your father is afraid, and the foreign relative's mother's family is too strong, if you marry another powerful person, your father is afraid of it. I can't stand it anymore."
"So you have to get married and live with him. When your younger brother ascends the throne, you will be the eldest princess. At that time, if you want to get along with you, you can get along. ."
The queen mother's words made Li Rong bewildered. It was the first time she heard someone tell her that it was okay to raise a few heads. The queen mother reached out and placed her hand gently on her face, and said gently, "Son, all women in this world are suffering. The only way to avoid suffering is not to learn to be virtuous and virtuous, but to master power."
"You have to fight, grab, and hold power in your hands. You can't expect your fate to be given to you by others, whether it's your father, husband, or brother, you can't count on it."
"You're not too young," the mother's eyes were calm and desolate, "I don't have a lot of time to protect you. You've been smart since childhood and married Pei Wenxuan, so what if he can't do it? You can do it. What you want is not He is a person, all you want is this marriage, to avoid disaster for you."
"If you don't marry, your royal father, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate you."
So she got married.
After marrying Pei Wenxuan, she had already made up her mind to leave Pei Wenxuan, a useless idiot, and become the eldest princess by herself. Unexpectedly, after getting married, she only knew what a smiling tiger was when she saw this legendary gentleman, who was weak and could be killed by his family at any time.
She got a good ally. They used each other, helped each other, and suspected each other. She became the eldest princess and he became the prime minister. Their marriage was the strongest contract, the oath of their alliance in court.
They cooperated in the best way, and this kind of cooperation made her a little happy. In the early days, she even thought that maybe they could really be a couple, live together, have children, and die together.
Until one day, she suddenly discovered that this person had another person in her heart.
This is actually not to blame for Pei Wenxuan. Their marriage is involuntarily, how can they be forced to belong
She didn't really like Pei Wenxuan, she just had hope, and when she found out, she was a little disappointed.
She was used to being proud and could not tolerate any impurity in her marriage. If this is a marriage, then two people have to abide by the vow of one heart and one mind, and no one can have any other thoughts.
If you have other thoughts, this marriage should not be a marriage, it should be just a covenant.
So from that moment, she became the eldest princess Li Rong, and Pei Wenxuan, in her heart, became the forever Lord Pei.
Lord Pei has his own white moonlight, and he has carefully cared for the other party for the rest of his life.
And she also found her own fun. She watched operas, listened to music, and had fun in the world. Later, after the Su family was in trouble, she desperately rescued the Su Rongqing, whom she admired when she was young, from prison and placed it in the Princess Mansion. The first and only "guest minister" in the crowd.
They each have their own days, and this marriage has nothing to do with the wind and moon. There is only a neat fight with swords, lights, swords and shadows in the courtroom.
It begins like this in the court and ends in the court.
Li Rong thought in a daze, the sedan chair fell to the ground, and she heard Jing Lan's voice from outside: "His Royal Highness, it's here."
Holding the golden fan, she looked up at the plaque in the Taiqing Palace.
Now it's all over again...
She thought, this time, should I choose Pei Wenxuan
