The queen and Li Rong looked at each other and refused to give in to each other. After a while, the queen still retreated. After all, Li Rong said so, if she wanted to force Li Rong to retreat, it would save Li Rong's face and make the scene too much. ugly.
Anyway, the target Li Chuan wants to choose is fixed, so it doesn't matter if Li Rong joins in.
So the queen smiled and said only: "You are naughty. Then put a censer for Princess Pingle too."
"Thank you mother." Li Rong saluted with a smile.
After a while, the incense burner and the commonly used spices were placed on a plate and placed in front of each girl.
If it is to distinguish fragrances, most of the women from aristocratic families know it, but if they really start to mix fragrances, not every girl can do it. But being able to identify scents is also a foundation, so everyone starts to work, at least they can concoct some of the sachets they often use and put them in the incense burner.
Li Rong is not a master here, but Pei Wenxuan used to be good at mixing fragrances and had given her a few sachets. She followed a recipe given by Pei Wenxuan back then. .
Everyone is bowing their heads to select and sniff the materials at hand, especially Xiao Wei, the daughter of the Xiao family recommended by Shangguan Ya and Concubine Rou. They are obviously masters of this art, and their movements are elegant and skilled, and they are very beautiful.
Qin Zhenzhen, who was behind Shangguanya, didn't know what he was doing, and kept his head down, grinding the materials at hand, as if trying to integrate into the group and find something to do.
While Li Rong was selecting the materials, she was thinking about the thoughts of everyone in the show.
Concubine Rou chose her niece. Her mother was in order to support Shangguanya, but Emperor Li Ming actually didn't care whether the prince married Concubine Rou's niece or someone else, as long as she didn't marry a big family like Shangguanya and Su Rongwen.
And Concubine Rou's methods have always been much higher than her mother's. She could not have guessed that the queen would secretly instruct the prince to tell the prince in advance the incense prepared by Shangguanya, and then let the prince choose Guanya's incense.
Therefore, Concubine Rou must have her arrangements.
Li Rong observed the incense burners in front of them. These incense burners were all the same. Below was a piece of goose-yellow silk satin. Under the silk satin was the incense note with the name of each girl written on it. After a while, the palace servants would bring the incense burner to Li Chuan on a tray. Go there, Li Chuan chooses people by smelling the fragrance, and then takes out the names from below and sends them back.
If she was Concubine Rou, she would definitely arrange for someone to cut off Shangguanya's fragrance halfway, and swap Shangguanya's fragrance with Xiao Wei's fragrance.
Li Chuan chose Shangguanya's fragrance, which is equivalent to choosing Xiao Wei's fragrance.
Li Rong guessed the thoughts of the audience, her face was calm, while she was mixing perfume, she seemed to be recording something, writing and drawing on paper.
After a while, the time was almost up, and the queen announced that the attendants would put away the incense burners and go to the front hall one by one.
The scene became chaotic for a while, and everyone relaxed. Li Rong raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Wei. Seeing Xiao Wei's smile, she seemed to be confident, and then glanced at Shangguanya opposite.
The attendant who collected the incense burner was almost in front of Shangguanya. Shangguanya covered the incense burner and raised her hand to hold it up. Then she seemed to have lost something, turned her head and looked at Qin Zhenzhen behind her and said, "Miss Qin, can you help me? busy?"
Qin Zhenzhen raised his eyes, saw Shangguanya smiling, and said a little apologetically, "My sachet rolled to you, can I trouble Second Miss Qin to pick it up?"
Qin Zhenzhen didn't say much, and went back to pick up Shangguanya's sachet, that is, with this bow, Shangguanya quickly changed the two incense burners, then turned around and put Qin Zhenzhen's incense burner on her tray. He turned around and handed it over to the attendant who had just come over.
Shangguanya's action was very fast, and when Qin Zhenzhen turned back, the attendant had already left with the incense burner.
Qin Zhenzhen gave her the sachet she dropped, and Shangguanya nodded and said, "Thank you."
Just as he was about to turn around, Qin Zhenzhen whispered, "You shouldn't change my incense burner."
Shangguanya didn't expect Qin Zhenzhen to find out so quickly, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then she immediately appeared a little dazed, as if she didn't know what happened: "What do you mean by Miss Qin?"
Qin Zhenzhen raised his eyes and looked at her, Qingming's eyes seemed to know everything clearly. At this time, the attendant bent down and took away Qin Zhenzhen's plate. Qin Zhenzhen turned to look at the attendant and was about to say something. Just as Shangguanya grabbed her wrist, Shangguanya spoke very quickly: "What is the fragrance of Miss Qin's incense burner? It smells very interesting."
Qin Zhenzhen was interrupted by this, and watched the attendant carry the incense burner away.
After the attendant left, Shangguanya let go of her and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't harm you, please do me a favor."
After speaking, Shangguanya let go of her and turned around.
All this only took a moment, Li Rong watched from a distance, although she didn't see exactly what happened to the two people on the opposite side or what they said, but seeing Shangguanya handing in the incense burner very quickly, Qin Zhenzhen wanted to say something, so she Guess what.
Shangguanya should have been persuaded by her, but Shangguanya was unable to convince the Shangguan family and the queen, so she could only use this method.
Now that Li Chuan chooses any girl from a second-rate family, Li Ming will marry him on the spot. Qin Zhenzhen's identity is just right, and the Qin family is a general. Although Qin Zhenzhen's father is dead, his uncle is still there. Marrying Qin Zhenzhen, he added a few more chips to his military power.
Shangguanya knew that the queen had paved the way for her, so she gave this road to Qin Zhenzhen. As long as Qin Zhenzhen gave her a marriage today, Shangguanya's identity could not be a concubine, then the marriage between Shangguan's family and Li Chuan would be over. . And Qin Zhenzhen's identity is always better than Xiao Wei, this decision is indeed for the sake of everyone.
It's just that Li Rong was always worried that Qin Zhenzhen and Li Chuan would repeat the same mistakes, so Shangguan Ya just turned around, she drank tea with her eyes down, and said to Jing Lan next to her, "Go to the concubine and ask him to give me this fragrant recipe. Prince, let the prince choose my fragrance."
Jinglan responded and took the ingredients of the incense that Li Rong had just written down without a trace, and then quietly retreated.
The news of the people from all walks of life spread all the way to the main hall, and the attendants brought the news of the queen and the incense of women from various families to the table. The emperor heard the queen's meaning and laughed: "Today is a gathering of your young people, since we want to Choose, then let you all together, this time the leader of the fragrance blending is selected by the crown prince, and the remaining two are selected by everyone, how about it?"
The people present responded immediately, so starting from the top of the seat in the hall, each incense burner was passed down one by one, and then the top three were selected and written on the paper by number.
Li Chuan sat on the high seat, his expression could not distinguish between joy and sorrow, long before he entered the seat, he had already received the Queen's order to confirm the person to be selected today. He felt as if something was pressing in his heart, everyone was happy, only he felt a bit of indescribable depression in the daze.
Just like countless times in his life, waiting for the moment to be decided.
The sense of powerlessness that his destiny was dominated came up again and again, and when he sat in a high position and looked down at other people, this absurd sense of contrast emerged in his mind with incomparable clarity.
Along with the incense burner, there was also a note from Li Rong. Pei Wenxuan took the note from the attendant. He glanced at it quickly and thought for a moment.
He looked at Li Chuan who was sitting on the high platform, and after thinking for a while, he let the attendant hand over the incense burner to him and whispered: "Tell His Royal Highness, choose Princess Pingle, white sandalwood."
The attendant's expression didn't change. After a while, when the incense burner was passed to the prince, the attendant whispered very quickly: "Choose Princess Pingle, white sandalwood."
Li Chuan paused slightly, and the attendant got up and went to the next table.
Pei Wenxuan was able to identify the scents that were constantly being passed on. It was extremely difficult to identify scents, especially in this process of constant identification, many people were almost indistinguishable and lost their sense of smell.
However, Pei Wenxuan was good at incense, and he kept looking for the white sandalwood incense written by Li Rong, while thinking about what happened in the female guest room.
The incense burners circulated between the banquets. Shangguanya's incense burner and Xiao Wei's incense burner were brought in one after the other. Before entering the hall, the two attendants quickly exchanged the names of the notes pressed under the incense burner, and then passed it on.
After two exchanges in a row, Qin Zhenzhen's incense burner was completely changed to Xiao Wei's name, while Xiao Wei's incense burner was changed to Shangguanya's name, and Shangguanya's incense burner was changed to Qin Zhenzhen's name.
The three people's incense burners were sent up in order. Xiao Wei and Shangguanya were at a very high level of incense. After they were sent to the main hall, Su Ronghua was amazed: "I don't know who made this No. 34 incense burner? It is the top three today! "
He has always been an unruly person. No one was surprised when he shouted so loudly. Only Su Rongqing next to him reminded him: "Brother, just write it down on paper. The leader should be decided by His Royal Highness."
"It's okay," Li Chuan heard Su Rongqing remind Su Ronghua that he was still waiting for various news, for fear that it would be difficult for others to pass the word to him, so he hurriedly smiled, "Everyone can express their opinions and discuss it."
Saying that, Li Rong's incense was brought up.
Li Rong doesn't have any talent for perfumery. The recipes used are all copied by Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan smelled it, and he smelled it. Li Rong's hands trembled, and there was a small amount of agarwood.
Pei Wenxuan was a little disgusted, and felt that he had to teach Li Rong well when he went back, otherwise a princess would always copy his recipes, which would be a loss.
He was thinking about how to go back to teach Li Rong, but his face showed admiration, his voice was steady, and he laughed in a voice that Li Chuan could hear: "This No. 41 white sandalwood is not bad, it is the best."
Hearing this, Li Chuan raised his eyes and looked at Pei Wenxuan, who smiled and glanced at Li Chuan, and nodded without a trace.
Li Chuan knew in his heart that this was Li Rong's incense burner. He didn't know why, but suddenly he was a little happy and moved.
She is his sister after all, different from other people in this deep palace.
Li Rong's incense burner was passed to Li Chuan, and Li Chuan picked up the incense burner and smelled it, pretending to be prudent and writing the number of the incense burner next to it.
After the incense burners were passed on, they began to count the scores.
Because the leader is hand-picked by Li Chuan, the others only need to select the first two. After counting the numbers, Li Chuan handed over the number of the leader that he had set, and then the attendant took out the name under the corresponding numbered tray and handed it to Li Chuan, read by Li Chuan.
Li Ming smiled and waited slowly for Li Chuan to announce the top three. Li Chuan took the name and said calmly: "The third place, Shangguanya."
Shangguanya was in third place, Li Ming smiled even deeper, Li Chuan took out the second piece of paper: "Second place, Qin Zhenzhen."
Saying that, Li Chuan smiled when he saw the name on the last piece of paper. He raised his head and seemed to be a little happy: "First place, Princess Pingle, Li Rong."
Hearing this, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned: "Why is Pingle in there?"
"Royal father," Li Chuan turned his head and smiled as if he didn't know what was going on. "Although my sister's fragrance was not good in the past, this time it is really good. Royal father, please don't be blinded by the previous impression."
Li Chuan said this, Li Ming was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say, this is what they used to choose a concubine for Li Chuan, and it was impossible for Li Rong to participate in it, much less for Li Chuan to choose Li Rong.
Fortunately, Li Chuan chose Li Rong, although he couldn't let him choose a poor prince, it was still better than choosing Shangguanya, Li Ming quickly laughed: "You are right, I shouldn't underestimate her, it's the reward. Reward, announce a few of them to be rewarded."
Li Ming's orders were sent down, and Fulai sent it to the Imperial Garden.
All the girls were waiting for the result. Seeing Fu Lai walking on the promenade in the middle of the lake and walking across the middle of the lake, everyone was a little nervous.
Fu came to the edge of the water pavilion, first bowed to Empress Roufei, and then explained the purpose of his visit: "The first three winners have been selected for the front hall, and the old slave, according to His Majesty's order, invites the three girls to the main hall to receive the reward."
The queen nodded, raised her hand and said, "You declare it."
Fu Lai saluted, turned around, looked at everyone and said, "Please, Your Royal Highness Princess Pingle, Miss Qin's Zhenzhen, and Miss Shangguan's Ya, please enter the main hall with the old slave to receive the reward."
Hearing this, Concubine Rou's expression changed greatly, Xiao Wei raised her head in disbelief, Shangguanya and Qin Zhenzhen both showed surprise, the queen frowned, and said quite uneasy: "Who is the fragrance master this time?"
"Hui Niangniang," Fulai laughed, "It's Her Royal Highness Princess Pingle."
The queen raised her eyes and looked at Li Rong. Li Rong immediately showed a surprised look and said happily, "Is it me?"
"Yes," Fu Lai praised, "Your Highness's skill in incense sticks is extraordinary, and everyone praises it. Your Highness should hurry up and go to the front hall to receive the reward."
"Excellent," Li Rong stood up with a happy expression, "I haven't received a reward for a long time, it's really a happy event."
With that said, Li Rong turned around and saluted the Queen: "Queen Mother, I'm going to my father's place to receive the reward."
The queen looked at Li Rong and was speechless for a while, but after holding it back for a while, she finally held back and said, "Go ahead."
Li Rong bowed and retired, and led Shangguanya and Qin Zhenzhen to follow Fulai to the main hall.
Li Rong walked in front, Shangguanya and Qin Zhenzhen stood side by side, Shangguanya poked Qin Zhenzhen quietly, and whispered, "Are you good at perfumery?"
Qin Zhenzhen frowned, she lowered her voice and whispered, "I won't, the incense burner is empty."
"Can this be rewarded too?"
Shangguanya was incredulous and began to quickly think about the conspiracy. Li Rong listened in front, pursed her lips and smiled, and turned her head to remind Shangguanya, "Can you write your name on your incense?"
Shangguanya reacted immediately and said in shock, "It's Xiao..."
Li Rong raised her hand and pressed it lightly on her lips. Shangguan Ya understood and immediately expressed her understanding.
After listening to the three of them, Fu Lai stepped forward to facilitate the three of them to speak. Li Rong took a few steps back and walked between the two. She turned to look at Qin Zhenzhen next to her and said, "Do you know that she replaced your incense burner?"
Qin Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I know."
"Do not say?"
Qin Zhenzhen raised her eyes and looked at Shangguanya, who was smiling beside her chest, and she shook her head: "I didn't put anything in the incense burner. If she harms me, I can prove that the incense burner is not mine. If she didn't harm me, she When I have my own difficulties, it doesn't matter if I help out."
Li Rong felt a little helpless when she heard this.
Shangguanya sighed and said, "Then you are lucky, I am the one who met today."
Qin Zhenzhen laughed: "if it wasn't for Miss Shangguan, I wouldn't necessarily be able to help."
"Oh?" Li Rong was a little curious, "Why are you helping her?"
"Because my father said it," Qin Zhenzhen looked at the bright moon reflected in the water, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, "If you want to know whether a person can be trusted, just look at her eyes."
"Then what do you think of me?" Li Rong was a little curious. Qin Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at Li Rong quietly. After a long time, Qin Zhenzhen said gently, "Your Highness is a very good person."
"Then you read it wrong." Shangguanya put her hand on Li Rong's shoulder, leaned over half of her body, and said with a smile, "This Highness is a master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
Li Rong was put on the shoulder by Shangguanya, she gave Shangguanya a light look, but Shangguanya was not afraid, she smiled and met Li Rong's eyes. After Li Rong and her looked at each other for a while, she couldn't help laughing and pushed Shangguan. Ya gave a hand and whispered: "You are very courageous."
When Shangguanya was pushed by her, she laughed and said, "Anyway, the worst side is also known to Your Highness, so it's better to be a little more arrogant. If Your Highness is interested, find a time to go to the Poetry Club with me for tea? "
"Drinking tea?" Li Rong sneered, "Would you like to bring some more money to gamble?"
Shangguanya was a little embarrassed when she asked this, she touched her nose, and whispered, "Can't you ask more politely in the palace?"
The three of them chatted all the way, and reached the main hall. Li Rong raised her eyes and saw Li Ming on the high seat first, then Li Chuan, then Su Rongqing down, and then Pei Wenxuan.
Seeing Li Rong looking over, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows with a glass of wine, as if he was taking credit.
Seeing Pei Wenxuan's appearance, Li Rong couldn't help laughing. She swept her gaze from him without a trace, and then returned to Li Ming, smiling and saluting with Li Ming: "I have seen the father."
"Get up." Li Ming raised his hand to get her up on the high platform, then put his hand on his knee and said with a smile, "I remember that you were not very good at incense before, but today you are really shining."
"Then I have to thank the concubine," Li Rong smiled and set her eyes on Pei Wenxuan, "The recipes I've prepared with incense today were actually taught by the concubine."
"I'm just saying," Li Ming turned to look at Li Chuan next to him, "Just about the skills of your sister's three-legged cat, can I not know?"
With that said, Li Ming looked at Qin Zhenzhen and Shangguan Ya behind Li Rong, and said slowly: "I heard about Ya'er's ability, but today's second Miss Qin is a little shy. Miss Qin," Li Ming looked at Qin Zhenzhen, raised his hand and said, "You take a step forward and let me see what a girl who can bring out such a fragrance looks like."
Qin Zhenzhen frowned, she glanced at Shangguanya and stepped forward.
Li Ming looked at her quietly, and everyone's heart beat fast.
Li Rong quickly pondered, if Li Ming found a pretext to confer marriage at this time, how should he deal with it.
She raised her eyes subconsciously, originally looking in the direction of Pei Wenxuan, not wanting that Su Rongqing was sitting in the direction opposite her, and Su Rongqing was also looking at her, so the moment she raised her eyes, her eyes met, and Li Rong was stunned. .
Su Rongqing seemed to see what she was worried about, but before Li Rong could react, she heard Su Rongqing suddenly say: "Your Majesty, the three girls have been standing like this, I'm afraid they are tired, you should reward them earlier, let them first Back off."
These words are quite unruly, if Su Ronghua said it, it would not be surprising, but it is a little strange to come from the mouth of Su Rongqing, who has always been self-sufficient.
Everyone looked over, Su Rongqing smiled and looked at Li Ming respectfully.
Li Ming thought for a moment, then smiled: "What Su Aiqing said is. Chuan'er, you will send things to the three on my behalf."
Li Chuan responded. He stood up and led the attendant to Li Rong with something. He handed over a pair of golden phoenixes and beads to Li Rong, winked at Li Rong, and whispered, "Sister, thanks."
He seemed very happy, but Li Rong was stunned, she didn't expect Li Chuan to be so happy.
Li Chuan handed her the things and left with a smile. Li Rong stood there and followed Li Chuan's gaze, and saw that Li Chuan was in front of Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen was respectful, but Li Chuan looked at her with a little teasing: "I didn't expect that Miss Qin is not only good at boxing and kicking, but also good at incense."
"Your Highness is wrong." Qin Zhenzhen lowered his eyes and looked at the ground without breaking the rules.
Li Chuan handed things over to Qin Zhenzhen, Qin Zhenzhen thanked him politely, and Li Chuan walked to Shangguanya.
Shangguanya and him are cousins, but they are not very familiar with him. Li Chuan respected her a lot. After handing things over to Shangguanya, he returned to his position.
The three received the reward, Li Ming seemed to be a little tired, and then said: "It's night, I'm a little tired, you young people can do it yourself."
Having said that, Li Ming was helped by Fulai to get up and left with a sound of congratulations.
After Li Ming left, the three girls walked out of the hall together. Shangguanya glanced at them and said with a smile, "Are you going back now?"
"I should go back by myself."
Qin Zhenzhen said, looking up at Shang Guanya: "what about you?"
"My father may have a while," Shangguanya pointed to the hall, "I'll go back to the Imperial Garden to chat with some friends for a while, you can do it yourself."
"Go." Li Rong nodded, "I'll wait for the concubine to go back together."
"You two have a good relationship." Shangguanya raised her eyebrows, and Li Rong wanted to kick her. She obviously found out that Shangguanya seemed to think they had some secret, so she became a little presumptuous, so she urged, "Go quickly, I'll find you in the teahouse some other day."
"Good to say."
Shangguan Ya responded and turned to leave.
After Shangguanya left, Qin Zhenzhen turned to look at Li Rong, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, the girl will leave first."
"Wait!" Li Rong stopped her, Qin Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Li Rong standing on the steps.
Qin Zhenzhen dresses elegantly and has few facial features. The wind blows gently and raises her plain shirt.
It seems that because of her practice of martial arts, her whole person always has an indescribable uprightness, like a pine and bamboo pavilion, and like a sword coming out.
In this court, even if she just stood, she showed an obvious out of place. She was similar and different from the Qin Zhenzhen Li Rong had seen back then.
Her heart trembled suddenly, and in an instant, the image of Li Chuan joking with her just now flashed in her mind. The scene overlapped with the scene of Qin Zhenzhen's funeral later, which made her throat tighten, and an invisible panic spread densely.
She looked at the girl who was waiting for her to speak under the moon. After a long time, she finally said, "Shangguanya changed your incense burner today. I wanted you to be married and become a prince concubine for her."
Qin Zhenzhen looked surprised, and Li Rong continued: "I'm helping you because I'm entrusted by others. Pei Wenxuan and I have no relationship, and I made an agreement with him that when we get rid of these constraints in the future, we will meet up with each other. Leave."
Qin Zhenzhen listened to these words, slowly opened her eyes, and Li Rong smiled: "There are many disputes in the palace. If you go out to the palace in the future, you need to be more careful."
After finishing speaking, Li Rong didn't wait for Qin Zhenzhen to answer, then turned around and walked into the hall to find Pei Wenxuan.
After Pei Wenxuan had said goodbye, he turned to see Li Rong waiting for him at the door, his heart warmed, he stepped forward with a smile, stopped beside Li Rong, looked her up and down, and raised his eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness has a great victory today. Sheng, seems very happy?"
Li Rong bowed her head and smiled: "Lord Pei seems to be very happy today."
"Unless Your Highness bullies me, will I be unhappy?"
Pei Wenxuan went back with Li Rong and asked curiously, "What's going on in your imperial garden, it's so lively today?"
Li Rong told Pei Wenxuan what happened in the imperial garden. The two got into the carriage while talking. Pei Wenxuan said with emotion: "The world of women is always so exciting."
"You can join." Li Rong laughed.
Pei Wenxuan quickly waved his hand: "That's it, it's not necessary, the princess can handle this situation."
Li Rong chuckled lightly, she turned her head and looked out the window.
At this moment, they had left the palace, and the bright moon was shining brightly outside the window. She stared at the moon quietly and said slowly: "The moon will always be full, Pei Wenxuan, is it always difficult to change what you say is destined?"
Pei Wenxuan wondered why Li Rong suddenly asked this, and he couldn't help but say, "What are you asking?"
"Today, I suddenly know why Chuan'er likes Qin Zhenzhen."
Li Rong turned her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "With Chuan'er's temperament, it's not surprising to meet such a person in the palace."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he looked into Li Rong's eyes, and for a moment, he seemed to understand what she meant: "Why are you telling me this?"
"Have you thought about what to do after you leave?"
Li Rong looked at him curiously, Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong quietly, he felt a kind of sourness creeping up, but the smile on his lips did not fall: "I didn't think it was too subtle."
"In the last life, Qin Zhen really died, don't you regret it?"
Pei Wenxuan did not speak, he smiled and looked at Li Rong, Li Rong continued: "I know you have her in your heart, and she left early in the last life, and you feel guilty about her. You never think about who you like. What do you want, but for the sake of her in this life, you should work harder."
"What are you trying to do?"
Pei Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and listened to Li Rong calmly say: "She is of marriageable age now, it will take about three years for you and I to go smoothly. If you don't make an agreement with her now, you are afraid that Sometimes she will marry in advance. Before, I talked to you mostly as a joke, but today I tell you seriously," Li Rong looked up at him, "You should do something."
"for example?"
"I told her today that I helped her because of you. I also told her that we have no relationship, and we will divorce in three years. She didn't respond, so I'll go first, and we'll arrange some opportunities later, you Go get in touch with her. You already have feelings, so treat her better, and then confess to her. When you settle down, we will inform Qin Lin and send her to the north so that she can escape these three years. Leave," Li Rong laughed, she looked up at Pei Wenxuan, "I'm going to propose a marriage to you."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he quietly looked at Li Rong.
Li Rong was a little puzzled: "Why don't you speak?"
"What do I have to say?" Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Isn't your Highness all arranged? Don't you know what everyone should do in your heart?"
"If you are dissatisfied," Li Rong said slowly, "you can tell me. Do you think that sending her to the north will hurt her?"
Pei Wenxuan couldn't listen anymore, he got up and shouted, "Stop!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Pei Wenxuan lifted the curtain and jumped out.
Li Rong was stunned for a while. She had to get Pei Wenxuan's back to see someone get off the carriage.
She didn't know what was wrong, but she felt as if they had suddenly returned to the previous life. Pei Wenxuan was dissatisfied, and he never talked more than she did. After arguing and losing his temper, he left.
It's just that there was a quarrel in the past, and the quarrel became noisy. Today, Pei Wenxuan left, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know if it was because of too many things in this day, which made her exhausted.
She controlled her emotions and calmly ordered outside: "Send someone to follow the concubine, lest he have an accident, go back first."
There was an uneasy response from outside, Li Rong raised her hand to rest on her forehead, feeling the carriage move again.
Pei Wenxuan walked forward with his back to Li Rong's carriage, and he was very angry.
He didn't even know what he was angry about.
He knew Li Rong's temper.
For Li Rong, what she believes will be well arranged.
She decided in her heart that Qin Zhenzhen was still in his heart, and felt that Qin Zhenzhen would regret his whole life.
She guessed that Li Chuan would still like Qin Zhenzhen, and felt that Qin Zhenzhen and Li Chuan should not be together, and there would be no good results.
So she chose the best result and let Qin Zhenzhen stay with him.
She couldn't say that she was wrong, she considered everyone, and she hoped that everyone had a good life.
What can you blame her for
But Pei Wenxuan just felt uncomfortable, unspeakable, he walked in the opposite direction with his back to the carriage, and when he heard the carriage move behind him, he suddenly stopped again.
He instantly remembered the back of Li Rong whom he had seen countless times in his previous life.
He turned his head and watched the carriage go away. He watched silently. After a while, he gritted his teeth, rushed back, caught up with the carriage, slammed on the wall of the carriage and shouted loudly, "Stop. Down! Stop it for me!"
Li Rong was startled by Pei Wenxuan, the carriage stopped at the sound, Li Rong immediately rolled the curtain with a golden fan, looked up at Pei Wenxuan standing beside the carriage, and said angrily, "What are you crazy about?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the driver quickly jumped out of the carriage and left, and there were only two people left. Pei Wenxuan stared at Li Rong and said coldly, "Let me tell you, Li Rong, if you want to decide me in the future. You have to at least ask me if I want to."
Li Rong froze in place, and Pei Wenxuan stared at her: "What do you think I am, what do you think I will think, and what do you think I should do, you should ask me first."
"It turned out to be a teacher asking for guilt," Li Rong smiled helplessly. "For example? I misunderstood Mr. Pei today, and made Mr. Pei so angry?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he stared at her.
He couldn't speak.
But he knew very well that if he could never speak, if he was the same as in the previous life, he would always run away.
So this life is no different from the previous one.
He clenched his fists and stared at Li Rong. After a long time, he struggled to say, "I don't like Qin Zhenzhen."
"I know." Li Rong heard what he said, and immediately understood, and said slowly, "After all, after many years, you can't love her as much as before. But actually..."
"No fact."
Pei Wenxuan interrupted her: "When I was young, I didn't like her."
Li Rong was stunned, but Pei Wenxuan continued: "I never miss her, I never miss her, I never saw a hairpin on the road and wanted to buy her, and I never thought about kissing her. she."
"It's just that they told me since I was a child that she was my wife, so I always thought, that's what love is."
"But then I met someone," Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong, his eyes dipped in water vapor, "I am happy when I see her happy, I am nervous when I see her sad, and I am nervous when she sees a hairpin. I will keep it in my heart, and when she smiles, I feel that there is no cold winter in the world anymore."
"I miss her when she's not there. Even if I go to the official office, I'll think about writing a note to her to go back. I'll think that we will have several children, and I'll want to grow old with her."
"Li Rong," Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath, "I have no regrets for Qin Zhen. She died. As a friend and brother, I tried my best. I never thought about having a new life with her.
