( ) The drive these days are often long, and three months later, I finally came to the land of Great Liang.
Xie Jing Xing's chariot team was still very fast. If it was an ordinary person, one was afraid that it would take more than half a year for Shen Miao to come to Great Liang so early and the capital of Great Liang was in Long Ye.
In the past and present life, Shen Miao had never been to Great Liang. In her impression, Great Liang is a very rich country, and I heard that Long Ye is also very prosperous. When Fu Ming was studying, he also told her that if one day, he would like to see how prosperous Long Ye was, and whether Great Liang was as prosperous and peaceful as the book said.
Now time suddenly can't turn back, Fu Mingwanyu has turned into dust, but she set foot in the city of Longye in Great Liang with Fu Ming's wish.
These days, Shen Miao had already changed out of her wedding clothes after getting married, Xie Jing Xing had specially prepared clothes for her, which seemed to be done according to the rank of Princess Great Liang. Their chariot and horse team approached the gate of Long Ye, and the guards at the gate saw Xie Jing Xing and let them go without looking at the token. And this troop of horses and carriages is mighty, and it is also full of onlookers when they walk on the streets of Long Ye.
The people shouted loudly, "It was His Royal Highness Prince Rui who brought the princess back!"
Shen Miao's heart moved, Xie Jing Xing married a wife in Ming Qi, but the people here seemed to know the ins and outs of the matter, and were not surprised at all, thinking that Xie Jing Xing had thought of spreading the news in Great Liang long before this.
As for what Xie Jing Xing said that Emperor Yong Le already knew about this matter, Shen Miao did not believe it much.
Just as he was thinking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Xie Jing Xing rode outside and said, "Would you like to see the scenery of Long Ye?"
He had already taken off his mask at this time. In Great Liang, he probably didn't have to hide his identity, and his expression was different from when he was in Ming Qi. The lazy cynicism was slightly dissipated. Somewhat sharp and edgy.
Shen Miao looked outside.
Just like the records in the book, the situation in Long Ye was different from that in Dingjing. Although Dingjing is also lively, in the end the liveliness is only found in wealthy families. How about restaurants everywhere? How ordinary people get in. On the streets of Long Ye, the people walking are always smiling.
Shen Miao noticed that the clothes and fabrics these commoners were wearing were all good, and their expressions and postures were also healthy, seeing that everyone was living well. Shen Miao pondered in her heart that the people of Great Liang lived in peace, and indeed the rumors of the world were not deceiving me.
Long Ye is also very large. Most of the buildings in Dingjing are exquisite and gorgeous, but the shops and restaurants in Daliang are magnificent and imposing. Shen Miao had also been to Qin country, but Qin country was not as aspirational as Long Ye.
Rao is because she has a lot of knowledge, but she can't help but look at it curiously.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I will take you out for a walk when I have time in the future. Long Ye is not young, you have to take your time to get acquainted with this place."
His voice was not deliberately low, and when he was so close, the common people looked at Shen Miao curiously and said, "His Royal Highness is very kind to the princess, to be so fond of her."
"No wonder His Majesty didn't want to marry him in the past. It turned out to be a special liking for the princess."
"The princess is also very beautiful, but she looks very right."
"It won't be long before a little prince will be born."
Shen Miao also heard these remarks, her face flushed red in an instant, the people of Long Ye seemed to be very well-intentioned and most of the discussions were congratulations or praises. Shen Miao did not feel a little dazed, she has always felt that human nature is inherently evil and people always comment on things that she does not know, but she does not know that those comments are enough to ruin a person's life. When she came to Long Ye and married Xie Jing Xing, she was from Ming Qi, she thought she would be the same as before and would attract a lot of criticism, but she didn't hear anything, she felt a little surprised, but her heart was inexplicably moved.
At the back of the team, Ji Yushu said to Gao Yang, "The third brother also has good intentions. In order to make the people of Long Ye accept his sister-in-law, he started to speak out long ago."
"Heroes are sad at Beauty Pass." Gao Yang shook his fan and sighed, "Then what should we do?"
"It's just that His Majesty must be pissed off, and the young ladies in those houses are deeply in love with the third brother. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be troubled this time."
“What are you afraid of?” Gao Yang said, “Shen Miao is not an ordinary person, who will torture who is not necessarily.” After saying that, he said with a sense of loss, “Now that she is going to return to her original position, she somewhat misses the days in Ming Qi. "
"Who said it wasn't." Ji Yushu also sighed, patted Gao Yang's shoulder, and said in a somewhat troubled tone, "Let's go."
…
The palace of Great Liang covers a very wide area, and the buildings are connected one by one, with golden glazed tiles and red walls and pillars. It is probably that the royal family likes gold and red very much, and the whole palace is very imposing.
The stone lion at the door is majestic and arrogant. On the dragon chair made of gold, a golden dragon hovers in it. The dragon's head is on the back of the chair, inlaid with two red gems, and the dragon's tail is wrapped around the armrest. All of them are carved so vividly that it seems that the next moment they will rise from the dragon chair and ride up to nine days.
At this moment, there was no one in the empty court hall, only the man sitting on the dragon chair. He was sitting upright and majestic, but for some reason, at this moment, the sun would go out, the candles in the palace were not lit, and when the light dimmed every inch, the majestic back looked extraordinarily lonely and lonely.
The footsteps of "da, da, da" sounded in the hall, and a woman came slowly, dragging a long group tail, wearing a nine-phoenix crown on her head, smiling softly, and walking towards the man sitting on the dragon chair step by step come over.
She said: "His Majesty is sitting here again, without saying a word to the concubine."
Only then did the man raise his head, as if seeing the person coming, he said, "So it's the queen."
Empress Xian De smiled slightly: "Why is Your Majesty troubled?"
"Jing Xing is back today." Emperor Yong Le rubbed his forehead and said, "I also brought back that girl from Ming Qi. I told him countless times and cut off contact with that woman. Not only did he not listen, he also cut me off. The men and horses, beheaded first and then made a memorial, married the woman back to Great Liang and brought it to Long Ye, and became a concubine."
"Your Majesty doesn't like Shen Miao?" Empress Xian De's voice was soft.
"It's not my race, its heart will be different." Emperor Yong Le only said eight words.
Eight characters, but also represent his meaning. If you are not from Great Liang, naturally you will not do things that are loyal to Great Liang.
“Your Majesty does not like Shen Miao, but Jing Xing does.” Empress Xian De said, “Otherwise, she would not have traveled thousands of miles to marry Shen Miao back to Long Ye, would not have given ninety-nine betrothal gifts, nor would she have given Shen Miao a betrothal gift. And give her a good reputation among the people of the world." After a pause, she said, "I will not disobey Your Majesty."
"Fox Yan Meizhu!" Emperor Yong Le said solemnly, but there was suppressed anger in his voice.
“Perhaps Shen Miao really has something special,” Empress Xian De reassured, “Jing Xing Zilai is a child with ideas, His Majesty chose so many beauties for him, but he doesn’t look down on them, now since he is willing to do it for Shen Miao At this stage, there must be a reason. Your Majesty, do not want to believe Jing Xing once?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe him, it’s that I don’t believe Shen Miao!” Emperor Yong Le said.
"But your Majesty can't do anything, can you?"
Emperor Yong Le looked at the other party with some displeasure: "The Queen wants to say that I am incompetent?"
"Of course not." Empress Xian De smiled, "Your Majesty has never been able to be ruthless towards Jing Xing. That's why Jing Xing is so unscrupulous, and he is able to make a first cut and then a performance, naturally because he understands in his heart that His Majesty's anger will not really be true. punish him."
"You're right." After a while, Emperor Yong Le replied, "But, there's no time left."
"It doesn't matter who Jing Xing marries, I don't want to control him, but he can't bring the variables back. That woman's identity is too special, if Jing Xing listens to her, it may bring about changes in the situation in the future. I will never allow this kind of thing. things happen."
"There is no time left." Emperor Yongle's voice was deep and deep: "For the sake of the great cause, I can sacrifice anything, and there is nothing that cannot be ruthless."
He said: "Let the two of them enter the palace tomorrow, I want to see what kind of woman confuses his mind, and also remind him, don't forget your identity, don't stay in Ming Qi for two years, I forgot my true self."
Empress Xian De frowned slightly.
"Zhen let him marry the main concubine, and I can also let him take the side concubine!" After speaking, he stood up, walked down the long stairs, and walked out of this quiet hall.
Empress Xian De stood where she was, her eyes seemed sad, and after a while, she sighed and walked out.
…
There was only one prince in Great Liang, and that was Prince Rui, the biological brother of Emperor Yongle. The identity of this Prince Rui is very mysterious. It is said that he traveled around with the masters at a young age, so since childhood, almost no one has seen what this Prince Rui looks like. Even Eunuch Deng, who had been with Emperor Yongle the longest, knew nothing about this Prince Rui.
Until two years ago, there was a sudden news that Prince Rui had returned to Long Ye, and the people were able to see the true face of this Prince Rui when he was at the altar. Long Ye's eldest girl and little daughter-in-law have all her heart attached to this Prince Rui.
However, a Prince Rui suddenly appeared. At first, everyone had doubts, saying that this person might be impersonating, but then they thought about it, the royal family is so strict and strict, it is impossible to make a mistake. What's more, Prince Rui looks like the empress dowager who passed away, and Emperor Yongle still has some imagination. The beauty of Xie Jiadu, the royal family of Great Liang, is an ironclad fact, there is no doubt about it.
After this Prince Rui returned to Long Ye, he resumed his status as a prince and immediately went to court with his ministers. Some courtiers objected, saying that this Prince Rui had not been involved in government affairs for so many years and knew nothing about the situation of Longye and Great Liang. How could he be allowed to participate in the affairs of the court? Isn't this nonsense. Emperor Yongle was very angry, and he punished several courtiers who made troubles for this, but most of the courtiers were against it, and Emperor Yongle could not punish them one by one.
Later, it was this Prince Rui who personally went out and completed several difficult things that the court had been dragging on and couldn't solve, so those objections gradually weakened. How is it possible to say that people know nothing about the affairs of the imperial court? Clearly understand very well. I haven't been in Long Ye for so many years and I haven't participated in it, but I have the ability, how can I explain what it is, is he really a genius
In a word, in the eyes of the people of Great Liang, Prince Rui was a young man with good appearance, good temperament, and good ability. Most importantly, he was very rich.
For example, this Prince Rui's mansion is as gorgeous as a palace.
However, Emperor Yongle was a Ming Jun, and he was very tolerant towards his younger brother, so he didn't blame Prince Rui for that. It's just that people passing by will occasionally stare at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion and drool, thinking that in the future, they don't know which family's daughter will be lucky. To be able to enter this palace and become a concubine is even more proud than being a concubine in the palace.
Who would have guessed that Prince Rui actually married a girl from Ming Qi.
After Shen Miaofang stepped into the gate of Prince Rui's residence, a group of people dressed as guards in official uniforms stood up straight and saluted her, "Congratulations, Princess!"
Xie Jing Xing put his arms around Shen Miao’s shoulders and walked in, while greeting everyone, “Bring things in. Is the new house ready?”
"It's all set to go back to His Highness." A man in his fifties who looked like a housekeeper ran out of the innermost place, with a kind face and a simple and honest face, and said, "Please ask the princess to take a look."
"It's hard work." Xie Jing Xing said.
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.” The old housekeeper smiled and said, “Your Highness will just come back.” He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Miao curiously.
Shen Miao faintly felt that the status of this housekeeper was not low, otherwise a vile person like Xie Jing Xing would not be able to speak in a good voice, so she raised her head to meet the other's gaze and smiled slightly.
The butler seemed to be a little flattered, and his face turned red with a "swoosh".
Xie Jing Xing dissatisfied and pulled Shen Miao up and walked forward, “Don’t look at it.”
When Shen Miao came to the new house that the official's house said, she could not help but be speechless.
That bed can sleep seven or eight people. It is covered with soft blankets, and the bedding is bright red, so that's fine. After all, the new house should be festive and festive, but the wall of the new house is full of water. What does the spring picture of children mean
There are also all kinds of lamps and incense that look very ambiguous... .
Shen Miao said, “I should find another place to sleep.”
"What's the matter, madam?" the housekeeper asked, "is there anything you are not satisfied with about this room? Please tell me, this old slave will be changed."
Xie Jing Xing glanced at the old housekeeper: "The stickers on the wall are all messed up, it's a mess."
"That can't be done," the old butler insisted: "These are all very meaningful. After all, this is the marriage ceremony of His Royal Highness and Madam. I heard that the two have not yet entered the bridal chamber, and the first time in the world is the first time, always a little doubtful. , this old slave has been looking for these for a long time..."
Shen Miao: “…”
The servants of Prince Rui's mansion are too direct! Even if she's not a shy little girl, she still blushes when she hears these undisguised words!
Xie Jing Xing put down the dagger in his hand and stared at the old housekeeper with his eyes that could almost kill him and said, "Thank you Uncle Tang."
"But don't teach." He gnashed his teeth: "I will."
Uncle Tang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then you have to learn endlessly."
Shen Miao threw her sleeves and went out the door, it was really an inaudible conversation...
This day was spent in this chaos. When Shen Miao first arrived, she did not show any squeamishness. Besides, Long Ye was a place with outstanding people, so there was really nothing to criticize. The servants here also treated her very respectfully, but it was a bit awkward for her to just sip a "Princess".
Still not used to listening.
Even in the evening meal, Uncle Tang specially cooked a few light side dishes for her according to the tastes of the people in Dingjing, Ming Qi. In the afternoon, Xie Jing Xing went out for a trip, probably he was very busy on weekdays. After all, Xie Jingxing, who returned to Great Liang in Ming Qi, was a "Prince Rui" who was busy with political affairs.
After washing up, the sky was already dark. Shen Miao returned to the new house, not because she was willing to come here, but because other than this new house, Prince Rui’s residence did not prepare any other room for her. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu still came to serve her, and Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang were also promoted to maidservants.
Jing Zhe brushed Shen Miao's hair and said, "Before I came to Long Ye, the servants thought that they were unfamiliar with the place of life, and they were a little scared in their hearts. I didn't expect that when they came, they would be relieved. It's extremely respectful, I think it's all my uncle who taught me well."
"What's the name of the girl?" Gu Yu said, "It's time to be called Mrs."
"Yes, yes, it should be called Madam." Jing Zhe quickly changed his words, and added: "No wonder everyone said that Great Liang is good. Looking at it today, it really lives up to its reputation. Not to mention Madam, even slaves like it here."
“Oh?” Shen Miao teased her, “Did you have a bad time in Dingjing? Why do you like it more here?”
Jing Zhe thought for a while: "It's not bad, I just think that the people here treat Madam better. When Madam came to Long Ye, she was a good start as a princess, and she always felt that it would get better and better in the future. ."
Shen Miao laughed, in Ming Qi's time, the second and third rooms of the Shen residence contained mischief, and the old lady Shen was not at ease when she was in the big room, her situation and the situation of the Shen family were at risk. In the eyes of the maids, her life was not easy. In addition, there were rumors of the name of the straw bag, and there was discord in my heart.
It was different in Long Ye, she married here because of the name of Prince Rui, and Xie Jing Xing's attitude towards her also made the people around her dare not disrespect her. It's always a joy to start off with a good head. People subconsciously choose to forget the bad things of the past and choose a new beginning.
It's just... will it really get better? Shen Miao did not think, and did not explain what happened to Qi, what Xie Jing Xing planned would not be easy. The crisis in Great Liang was not necessarily less than that of Ming Qi. I'm afraid it's more dangerous and complicated.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, and the Longtan tiger den is now only daring to break through.
However, her heart became light after a long absence.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jing Zhe and Gu Yu say, "I have seen your Highness."
Shen Miao raised her eyes and saw Xie Jing walked in. Xie Jing Xing said, "Go down." Jing Zhe and Gu Yu quickly retreated.
He walked to the table and sat down, while waiting for Shen Miao to comb her hair, and asked, "How is your habit?"
“No problem.” Shen Miao said, “Long Ye really deserves its reputation.”
Xie Jing Xing poured tea for himself: "But you need to cheer up."
Shen Miao was suspicious: "What happened to you again?"
"Brother Huang has made an decree to call you and me into the palace tomorrow." He said, "Brother Huang is an old-fashioned and strict person. He is very dissatisfied with my wife this time, and will probably scare you."
Shen Miao glanced at him: "Oh, you are very dissatisfied with your marriage, you really did things behind his back and lied to my parents that he had already agreed."
Xie Jing Xing smiled, “It’s just an expedient measure. Besides, even if he is dissatisfied with you, so many people in the world are dissatisfied with you, Ming Qi is like a crucian carp crossing the river, don’t you kill them too—” The posture of the head, lazily said: "Send on the road?"
Shen Miao also laughed and she said, "Are you implying something to me?"
"That's not true." Xie Jing Xing said, "Our Xie family is different from the Fu family, we cannot do things that cannibalize each other."
Shen Miao said, "I didn't see that you are still kind and righteous people."
“Do not believe?” Xie Jing Xing asked.
Shen Miao shook her head, "The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, but now the intimacy is only because you have no entanglement in your own interests, or you just stand in the same place, when one day your positions will be different, or you want to snatch something because of this, or will it be to protect yourself? It was the share of the one who made the shot. At that time, there will be no brothers to talk about." Although she tried her best to speak calmly, she couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust in her words.
Xie Jing Xing stared at her sharply for a while, Shen Miao felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
He shook his head, sighed and said with a smile, "You don't seem to believe in the relationship between royal families."
Shen Miao pursed her lips and said nothing. Don't blame her for not believing it. She lived in a deep palace in her previous life. As the lord of the six palaces, she has seen many unknown things. In this world, the suffering of women is mostly due to love. Even Mrs. Mei has fought with her for most of her life, isn't it all about fighting for a man's favor? But the men in the palace were different. She had seen a prince who loved her concubine in every possible way yesterday, and sent the concubine to his staff just to win over the next day. I have also seen that in order to balance the forces of all parties, the childhood sweethearts have been compromised and become equal wives, and then they have carried the grand sedan chair to marry the daughter of the minister. A man abandons a woman like a pair of shoes, and a man may not be able to stab at his brothers, and can kill each other, and there are many cases of father and son killing each other.
After seeing many such things, Shen Miao would find it hard to believe what the royal family affection was. Maybe there was, but she didn't want to believe it.
“You will understand in the future.” Xie Jing Xing shook his head, and then changed the conversation: “Brother Huang is not a good person, but he is still a good emperor. It’s just that for you, it is probably impossible to make friends.”
Shen Miao thought that Xie Jing Xing was the only one who could say this about Emperor Yong Le.
“You don’t need to be afraid when he threatens you, no one dares to touch you with me.” Xie Jing Xing continued, “The Queen’s Sister-in-law is a good person, you can make friends, you can talk to her more when you have the opportunity in the future.”
Shen Miao's heart moved, Xie Jing Xing seemed to be explaining something to her.
"Aren't you going tomorrow?" she asked.
“Why, alone?” Xie Jing Xing saw her frowning and said, “I will go with you. It’s just that the imperial brother will definitely let me go, if he says something to you, you don’t have to take it to heart, just Just be shit."
Shen Miao was silent for a while, "I know."
Xie Jing Xing smiled and looked at her with his chin up, “Shen Jiaojiao.”
"what?"
"I feel like you've become a lot more obedient after you came to Long Ye." A smile flashed in his eyes, but it was malicious: "Don't worry, your husband will not abandon you."
Shen Miao took a deep breath, put the comb on the dressing table, stood up and said, "I am going to sleep, when are you leaving?"
“Let’s go?” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, “My new house, why should I go.”
Shen Miao widened her eyes and Xie Jing Xing also stood up and lay down on the bed by herself.
Shen Miao: “…”
Shouldn't this kind of thing be tacit? It's not an exaggeration to say that there are not all fake couples in the book, one sleeps in the study and the other sleeps in the new room, why is Xie Jing Xing like this
She said, "Then I'll go to sleep."
Before she finished speaking, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone, Shen Miao didn’t have time to stand firm, she fell on the bed, a pair of strong arms supported her, but just held her in her arms.
The tip of Shen Miao's nose was filled with the good smell of green bamboo on a man, but his chest was heaving and his breathing was warm, for a moment, she did not dare to look up at the other's expression.
After being stiff for a long time, Xie Jing Xing's deep voice sounded from above his head.
"Two months."
“What?” She raised her head subconsciously, facing a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but the meaning flowing in her eyes seemed to be extremely aggressive, making Shen Miao’s heart involuntarily “bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Bang Bang" jumped up.
Xie Jing Xing hugged her and said lazily, “Give you two months, after two months, I can’t bear it anymore.”
Shen Miao was stunned, the corners of Xie Jing Xing's lips twitched, his smile was evil and meaningful, he said, "Being a gentleman is not my hobby... I have never been a good person."
Shen Miao jumped up suddenly and said, "I will go to sleep in the study room."
Xie Jing Xing grabbed her and said, "I'm going to sleep outside."
Shen Miao did not dare to look into his eyes.
When in Ming Qi before, there were still people in the Shen residence, Xie Jing Xing did not dare to be presumptuous. Now Long Ye doesn't have her acquaintances, the most important thing is that she has no way to refuse, she and Xie Jing Xing are husband and wife, everything seems to be the right thing to do.
Xie Jing Xing pushed open the door and seemed to be very happy and left.
Shen Miao stroked her heart and still had the violent beating left, Xie Jing Xing became more and more arrogant after leaving Ming Qi and returning to Great Liang. It seemed that when he was in Dingjing, he was holding back some temperament, but now he showed his original side in front of Shen Miao without any scruples.
How do couples in this world get along? Shen Miao thought that she did not know how a real husband and wife got along from the beginning to the end in her previous life, so in this life, she had experience in other matters, but in this matter, she was still like a ignorant child.
After a while, Shen Miao came back to her senses and simply put the quilt over her head and fell straight down.
When the car goes to the front of the mountain, there must be a road and the boat goes straight to the bridge. For other things, we have to rely on the road of the previous life. For this matter, I have been groping and groping in this life... just let it go.
