Chapter 737: The Messenger
"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the messenger, it's one thing that our family thinks of ourselves." Sixi prevaricated casually, pointed to a palace in front of him and said, "Envoy, please look, that is Yanxi Palace." ”
"There is Father-in-law." Looking at the majestic palace bathed in the bright autumn sun ahead, the envoy's eyes were full of brilliance.
Before entering the palace gate, Sixi said a little hesitantly: "The princess grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she suddenly married far away, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and asked the messenger not to be surprised." ”
"I know that my father-in-law can rest assured." Seeing that the messenger agreed, Sixi took him in with confidence, otherwise if the messenger saw the princess crying and crying, he would go back to cheer and vinegar, and the princess's situation would be even more dangerous.
After the palace people went in to pass the ceremony, it was not Wen Ruyan or Han Yan who came out, but Ling Ruo, she stayed in Yanxi Palace last night and accompanied Wen Ruyan and didn't go back, she didn't even close her eyes this night, her expression was a little haggard, she raised her hand to stop Sixi from saluting, and said, "This is the messenger from Zhun Geer?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, it is exactly, the emperor ordered the slave to bring him to see the princess." He replied cautiously.
"In that case, then you take him to Xinuan Pavilion, the princess is inside, but the princess is not in a good mood, don't disturb her, let alone scare her." Ling Ruo said this before turning around and entering.
After she left, the envoy withdrew his astonished gaze and asked with interest: "Father-in-law, who was that lady just now, it seems that she is not the princess's mother." ”
Sixi replied as he walked towards the Xinuan Pavilion: "That is Concubine Xi of Chengqian Palace. She is very good with Concubine Hui and often comes here. ”
Concubine Xi ...... The messenger silently wrote down these two words.
Since she knew that she was going to marry far away, Hanyan's tears did not stop, not only because she was worried about her future fate, but also because she was reluctant to marry Wen Ruyan in the capital, she could often enter the palace to meet each other, marry outside the capital, and enter Beijing at least once in a few years, but if she married to Zhungeer, in this life, I am afraid that she will not be able to see her mother, how can she not be sad and sad.
"Princess, the messenger of Dzungar has come to see you." Sixi said softly through the curtain.
"Seeing what I'm doing, are you still afraid that I'll run away?" Han Yan said coldly, her tone was scathing, she knew that the messenger was only ordered to come here to propose marriage, and it had nothing to do with him, but she still couldn't help but vent the resentment that had accumulated for two days on him.
"The princess is angry, and that's not what she means." The envoy's eyes flashed slightly, put one hand on his chest, and said: "King Khan has admired the princess for a long time, and before coming to Beijing, he instructed the princess to say goodbye." ”
"Admire me?" Han Yan sneered, his expression was indescribably sarcastic, they didn't know each other at all, how could they talk about the word "curtain", if they really want to say that, I'm afraid they also admire the identity of the princess of the Qing Dynasty.
"Raise the curtains." With Han Yan's words, the palace people on both sides stepped forward and opened the curtains, and without waiting for the messenger to speak, Han Yan had already said unceremoniously: "Okay, you have seen it now, and you have also asked for peace, you can go out." ”
"Princess, is this in a hurry?" The envoy's face sank suddenly, and a slight chill shot out of his eyes, casting a cold chill on his handsome face.
"If you want to understand it that way, I'm okay with that." The envoy's questioning made Hanyan's attitude more and more unkind, she had already come to this point, why did she need to be polite to people anymore, the left and right ended the same.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and the messenger suddenly chuckled, like a spring breeze breaking the ice, swept away the chill on his face, and bowed again: "Since this is the case, then I will retire first, and on the day when the princess chooses to marry me, I will ask the princess for peace." ”
After that, he didn't say anything to Sixi, he left directly, and when Sixi came back to his senses, he was already gone, so anxious that he hurriedly followed Hanyan with a confession.
After they left, Hanyan sat on the ground weakly, hiding his face and crying, no longer able to find the stubbornness and arrogance just now, only helplessness and sadness.
Let's say that after the envoy left the warm pavilion, he walked in the direction in his memory, but he didn't want to mess up the direction, and he never saw where the palace gate was. The envoy couldn't help but regret that he hadn't waited for Sixi just now, otherwise he wouldn't have to run around like a headless fly, and it seemed that he would have to find someone to ask.
As soon as this thought turned, he heard someone behind him: "You are the messenger?" ”
The envoy was suddenly startled, and quickly turned around, but it was the beautiful woman she saw when she came in just now, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Concubine Xi." ”
"Do you recognize Hongu?" Ling Ruo was slightly strange.
"I heard what my father-in-law said just now." The envoy's gaze kept falling on Ling Ruo's face, which he had never seen before.
Ling Ruo didn't notice the strangeness of the envoy, but said, "Has the envoy ever seen the princess, and the princess, why is he not with you?" ”
The messenger replied truthfully: "Shicai came out of the princess, and walked in a hurry, and was separated from the father-in-law, and did not know where to go at the palace gate. ”
Ling Ruo bowed slightly, "I see, Shui Xiu, you take the messenger to the palace gate." ”
After thanking the envoy, he suddenly said: "Niangniang, forgive me for asking more, the princess is unwilling to marry my Geldan?" ”
"If you are a messenger, are you willing to leave your homeland and go to a place where you are not familiar with life?" Ling Ruo's rhetorical question made the envoy speechless for a while, and finally thought of words, she had already taken the first step and said: "Actually, this palace really doesn't understand, why did your Khan King come to ask me for marriage in the Qing Dynasty. ”
The envoy turned his gaze and said: "The Khan King has always admired the Qing Dynasty, and it is the Khan's wish to be able to marry each other in Qin and Jin. ”
"Really?" Ling Ruo said softly, and said gloomily: "Just because of your King Khan's wishes, you want the princess to marry far away, which is really unfair to the princess." But...... There is no fairness in the world. ”
"Concubine Xi wants to say that our Khan King persecuted the princess?" The envoy's mind turned quickly, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Ling Ruo's hidden words, and seeing that Ling Ruo did not refute, he said again: "Actually, this Concubine Xi can rest assured, the princess will never do any harm if she marries our Geldan, and the King of Khan will be very good to her." ”
"I hope so." In this regard, Ling Ruo was noncommittal, and did not fully believe the words of this little envoy, after all, the person she heard about Geerdan was not a good person. If it weren't for that, Wen Ruyan wouldn't have objected so much.
"Okay, it's time for the messenger to go back, and there is still something going on in the main palace." Ling Ruo turned his head and ordered, "Shui Xiu, send the messenger out." ”
"Concubine Xi, can I ask you one more word?" The envoy's sudden change of claim did not attract Ling Ruo's attention, and he only gestured with his gaze to continue.
However, the envoy suddenly chuckled and shook his head, "Forget it, I still don't ask, and I will retire next." ”
Ling Ruo didn't take this short conversation to heart, but no one could have imagined that a few years later, today's conversation would almost rewrite Ling Ruo's future fate.
