Three
The next day, Su Nian received an invitation to attend a reception banquet hosted by His Majesty for Anno.
His Majesty and the Empress had not yet attended, and all the young talents and ladies and ladies were gathered around a heated conversation, and the protagonist was of course our heroic general An.
Su Nian saw from a distance that Anno was surrounded by people, she was wearing a red upper body, black pants, and a pair of silver-gray boots on her feet, standing out from a group of gorgeous and dignified ladies dressed.
Anyone would see her for the first time, so different.
She held her head high and talked enthusiastically with the crowd, "General An does not let her eyebrows be raised, admiration and admiration." She laughed like a flower with a series of compliments.
Until the empress dowager appeared hand in hand, Anno did not remember that she also had a girlfriend named Su Nian.
The empress hated the women who practiced martial arts the most.
There is a story in this, saying that when His Majesty weifu was visiting privately, he was assassinated on the road and was saved by a woman in a river and lake, and His Majesty was grateful for her life-saving grace, plus he had never been in contact with a woman of such a personality, and for a moment she was fresh, included in the palace and named a noble concubine.
Her Majesty's adoption of a concubine was not a big deal, and although the Empress was not happy, she still accepted her, and said neither good nor bad to her.
I didn't think that this woman had taken the liberty of practicing her sword in the imperial garden, and accidentally bumped into the queen, and the queen's fetus, which was less than two months old, was aborted by her.
It was the Queen's first child, and she hated it terribly, but at that time Her Majesty was on his head, symbolically grounded for a month.
The queen hated the root of her teeth, but there was nothing she could do, and in the end, the woman was tired of the deception in the palace, and even ran away, and no one knew where she was hiding, and the matter was over.
Although the empress later gave birth to a prince and a princess, the pain of losing the child was like a thorn in her heart.
The empress dowager thought that girls should be quiet and gentle, and the husband and son, for Anno, the daughter-in-law, the queen really did not like it, and her majesty gave her marriage, and she had no choice.
In her mind, the daughter-in-law's first choice is Su Chengxiang's concubine, Su Nian, look at how cute this little appearance looks, behaves generously, Chuchu is moving, the mouth is still sweet, and how well matched Jing He is.
The queen swept over Anno out of the corner of her eye, dressed like? The more I look at it, the worse it gets.
The empress said coldly: "General An has been fighting outside for many years, presumably the etiquette in the palace is not very familiar, and now that you and the prince are about to get married, it is time to learn etiquette." ”
Anno disagreed in his heart, the Beijing women were either embroidered or chanted some poems that did not hurt or itch, what did it mean? But she had to obediently reply: "Yes, the little daughter listens to the arrangement of the mother-in-law." ”
The queen pondered for a moment, then turned her head and looked at Su Nian with a smile: "Nian Nian, would you like to teach her?" ”
Su Nian was looking at the nose and nose, nose and heart, was suddenly nominated, and there were many senior grandmothers in the palace, why should the women who were not out of the cabinet teach her etiquette? Such a hot potato, she did not want to pick up.
Su Nian subconsciously refused: "Niangniang, this is not appropriate, how can the little girl He De be qualified to teach the future crown princess?" ”
Jing He, who was sitting on her right side, was playing with a wine glass in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "I heard that Miss Su is a model for Shengjing women, how can she not be qualified?" ”
This, if it was someone else's words she thought was a compliment, how Su Nian felt it coming out of his mouth, it was very awkward, very ironic, Su Nian was eager to smash the wine glass into his uneven face.
The empress echoed: "The prince is extremely right, moreover, this palace has heard that you have a deep friendship with General An, and naturally you are more able to teach with your heart, so don't be merciful because of your love." ”
Su Nian: "..."
Su Nian was instructed to come to the General's Mansion to teach Anno, and incidentally brought two old ladies from the palace who looked big and powerful, fierce and evil.
Anno is usually casual, even if she can stand to walk to take small steps, even sitting has to look at the board, she is used to drinking wine, eating meat in large mouthfuls, and now eating a meal must be chewed slowly, and can not make a sound.
Anno felt that learning etiquette was even more uncomfortable than Ling Chi.
On the third day, Anno couldn't stand it, in the middle of the night, taking advantage of su Nian's sleeping gap, wanted to climb over the wall to escape, who knows, as soon as his feet landed on the ground, more than a dozen swords of the brush stretched out, and the moonlight emitted a cold light...
Su Nian stepped on the moonlight, just like Chang'e in the middle of the moon: "Sister, in the middle of the night, where are you going?" ”
Anno turned back in acknowledgement, escape plan, pawn.
Inside the pavilion of the General's Mansion, in the summer, it is also a little hot in the morning.
Su Nian held the ruler in his hand, there was a little maid beside him gently playing a fan, the table was full of fresh fruit, snacks, tea leaves, Su Nian threw a grape into his mouth, his eyes stared at the tea cup above his head, practicing walking Anno.
After Breaking the Tea Cup for the thirtieth time, Anno sat down on the ground in frustration: "Think about it, spare your sister, my sister really can't stand it." ”
Su Nian sneered in her heart, if she had been in the past, she would have been distressed to see Anno suffer so much, but now, she only hated herself for not being harsh enough.
Where is the pain she suffers from, compared to the holes in her heart?
"Sister An, I am for your own good, the crown princess is not a good person, so many eyes look at you, even a small thing wrong, will make Your Highness disgraced." Su Nian was not moved, and ordered Aunt Li to bring another cup of tea.
"Wrists should be steady, the body should be open, don't shake, Sister Ann, are you a piece of wood?" It was too stiff for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to like. Su Nianduan sat down in a chair, took a sip of tea, and then frowned, well, the tea is too green to drink.
Anno's patience reached its extreme, and the broken jar was broken: "How can there be so many things to be a broken princess?" Harder than marching to fight? ”
"Sister, be careful."
"Nian Nian, you're the best, can you put water on your sister?" My sister was dying of exhaustion. Anno made a small prostration, and his big eyes were full of pleading.
Su Nian was fierce not to look at her.
At the suggestion of Su Nian's eyes, Aunt Li took out the ring ruler and slapped it on the palm of Anno's hand, and before she could fight the third time, she heard Xiao Wei hurrying to say that His Highness the Third Prince had come down. Su Nian laughed sarcastically: This can't wait?
An Nuo skimmed his mouth in grievance, looking at Jing Yue with tears in his eyes, but Jing Yue was heartbroken, "Nian Nian, General An has been away for many years, and there are many etiquette in Beijing, so there is no need to be so harsh." ”
Su Nian said calmly: "Wang Ye, it is precisely because of the many etiquette, we must seize the time to study, Sister An and the prince are close to marriage, there is no time to waste, so I had to grievance my sister to practice diligently." Could it be that The Prince of Wang was distressed about his sister? Teach my sister, on a hot day, I am also very hard, why don't you see your heartache and hurt me? Who is your fiancée? ”
Jing Yue's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and he even ignored that Su Nian had called his third brother before.
"Nian Nian, you..."
Before Jing Yue could finish speaking, he heard his subordinates coming back and forth, His Highness the Crown Prince came down, and Su Nian meditated in his heart: The General's Mansion is very lively today, and two big people have come.
Jing He changed into an ordinary white shirt, with ink bamboo embroidered on the cuffs, half a bunch of black hair, and a paper fan in his hand, looking like a windy stream.
He bent down and lifted Up Anno with his own hands: "Nono, how did you learn?" How well did this teacher teach? ”
After speaking, Su Nian, whose eyes floated to the side, said: "Nian Nian, how did Nono learn?" ”
Without waiting for Anno to speak, Su Nian snorted: "Thank you very much for the good errands arranged by Your Highness for the little girl." General An was talented and intelligent, and it would not take long to become a qualified princess. ”
Jing Heduan sat on the stone bench, tapping his fingers on the stone table: "Well, Nian Nian seems to be particularly dissatisfied with the arrangement of orphans?" ”
"Your Highness, where is your fiancée, calling the little girl Nian Nian in front of your fiancée and my fiancée, is that excessive?" Su Nian couldn't help but refute him.
Somehow, in front of others, Su Nian could be calm and comfortable, only in front of Jing He, like a wild cat with fried fur, trying to scratch him at any time.
Jing He smiled evilly: "Well, it is lonely and not thoughtful, hard to read, why not invite you to dinner another day?" ”
Su Nian didn't bother to take care of him: "No, as long as Your Highness doesn't bother me anymore." Su Nian looked at the two of them and didn't look like they were leaving, so he ordered the people to present tea and fruits.
"Sister Ann, shall we go on?" Both Highnesses please feel free. ”
The prince found a cooler place to sit down, with a casual smile on his face.
Jing Yue stared at Anno nervously, a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, Su Nian felt that maybe Jing Yue really liked Anno, as long as he took the initiative to confess to himself, she would not force it.
Now, what makes her most sad is their concealment and betrayal.
In the days that followed, these two great gods came to the General's Mansion from time to time, and soon, a month later, Anno also learned eighty percent, looking like everyone was beautiful.
Four
On the last day, Su Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally it was over, this month, she was physically and mentally exhausted, just wanted to sleep well, but His Royal Highness the Prince came up with interest, had to pull her to drink, said to thank her.
Xu was su nian's mood that night, Xu was that the moon was too bright that night, and Su Nian was drunk.
Su Nian looked at the man sitting opposite him drunkenly, and his white and tender fingers ticked him, signaling him to get closer, and when he was slightly low, Su Nian suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck and pulled him down.
Su Nian muttered red lips, and the woman's body fragrance mixed with wine came to her face: "You, you, why don't you like me?" Me, me, where is it not as good as Anno? ”
"Drunkard, see clearly, who am I?" Jing He sighed helplessly.
"Who are you?" You're a bastard. Su Nian sobbed sadly and cried.
"You don't like me, so why do you want to accept marriage?" And Jing He's wronged head, does he know that he has been green? Hahaha, didn't expect him to have today. ”
"Prince is green, you are so happy?"
"Yes, I'm green too, whining..." Su Nian whimpered again.
Jing He looked at her face that was close at hand, and he could feel his suddenly rapid heartbeat, and his breathing was much faster.
He stared directly at Su Nian, his throat knot moving slightly, as if he was trying to control his breath: "Su Nian, let go." ”
Su Nian burped a drink and pulled him tighter: "Not loose." Then he squinted his eyes and stared at him for a long time, then released his hand suddenly: "You are not the third brother." ”
Su Nian was frightened, he couldn't stand for a moment, he fell straight backwards, the prince wrapped his arms around her waist and turned in a circle, the two fell to the ground, Jing He cushioned under Su Nian's body, he snorted: "Why are you so heavy?" What a piggy. ”
"You're the pig."
"Wake up and see who I am?"
Su Nian blushed, "Who made you pour me wine?" ”
"Are you so upset?"
Su Nian looked at him strangely: "Your fiancée has someone else in her heart, why aren't you sad?" Did you already know about them..."
"Are you sure we're going to talk like this?"
Su Nian realized that she was still lying on his stomach, and immediately struggled in panic and sat honestly on the stool.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calmly stood up and flicked the non-existent dust on his body: "Gu has long known that General An is happy with the third brother. ”
"How do you know?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
"Anno's look at Jingyue is different, and you fool can't see it, why didn't You tell you, if it wasn't for Jingyue's arrangement, would you be able to see those letters?" You think Jingyue looks like you have thick lines? ”
"Yu Wangfu has your people?"
"What's so strange about this, there are his people in the lonely house."
Su Nian really couldn't think it through: "You know why you still want to marry her, isn't it for the military power in her hands?" ”
Jing He blinked at those peach blossom eyes: "When did I say I wanted to marry her?" ”
"But the Holy Will... Are you going to resist? Su Nian finished speaking, covering his small mouth in horror, a pair of big eyes to go to the deer eyes, wet, looking at it wanted to let people bully.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not hold back, and leaned over and kissed it: "It is not that they are alone to resist the will, but they are to resist the will." ”
Su Nian was completely confused by his attack, and subconsciously asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Gu just asked you, do you still want to marry Jing Yue?"
"No, since I saw those letters, I don't want to, I would rather not marry anyone in my life than marry a man who has someone else in his heart."
Jing He instantly sank a few points, and the emotions in his eyes rolled over: "Just now, you still regarded Lonely as him, so quickly put it down?" ”
Remembering the scene just now, Su Nian's ears were bloodshot, and he bowed his head and whispered, "I just want an explanation, one is my good friend, one is my future husband... They are the people I care about the most..."
Jing He suddenly took her into his arms, "Don't be sad, Loneliness will definitely get it back for you." ”
Su Nian's heart skipped a beat.
Then the man's immodest voice sounded in his ears: "Who do you care about the most?" In the future, the person who cares most about it can only be lonely. ”
Domineering and arrogant, it was indeed his prince Jinghe.
Five
After that night, Su Nian asked Jing Yue to come out, she wanted to talk to him with her heart, as long as he confessed to tell her that he was happy with Anno, then she would let them go and complete them, but unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, Jing Yue did not mention a word.
Su Nian was very confused, Jing Yue obviously liked Anno, why could he be willing to marry himself? Can a person's heart really be divided into several parts?
Time flies, and in a few days, it is the day of the prince's big wedding, and after Taiyi gets married, it is the day when she and Jingyue get married.
Prince Jinghe's life is also very regular, normally facing up and down every day, and there is no trace of abnormality
As the day of the big wedding approached, Su Nian felt inexplicably empty in her heart, and for some reason, she did not want Jing He to marry Anno, and she did not want to marry Jing Yue like this.
Two days before the big wedding, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, on that day, there was a scandal in the palace, and the third prince Jingyue and the future crown princess could not help themselves, secretly having an affair in the palace, and were blocked by the queen.
When Su Nian arrived, Anno was hiding in the corner of the bed, she firmly grasped the quilt, her hair was scattered, where was the appearance of a freshly dressed and angry horse?
Jing Yue was naked and kneeling on the ground to bear the wrath of His Majesty's thunder, he said that he was all ghostly and had nothing to do with Anno.
Su Nian was looking at Her with relish, and a pair of large, well-defined hands stretched out behind her back, gently covering her eyes: "Is It allowed you to look at other men?" ”
A moment later, the parties gathered to discuss how to deal with the scandal.
Su Nian was silent, pretending to be sad and sad, and Crown Prince Jinghe said, "Empress Mother, since General An and the third brother have a deep love and righteousness, it is better to fulfill them." ”
The tone of voice is full of helplessness and concessions.
Su Nian applauded him in his heart: Boy, good acting skills.
The Queen was furious: "How can the two of them easily forgive them for doing such a great rebellious thing?" ”
The crown prince frowned tightly and said softly, "Father Emperor, it is better to punish them slightly, and teach them a lesson." ”
His Majesty angrily grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at Jing Yue, who was kneeling on the ground: "Contrarian Son, it seems that Shuo has spoiled you too much, and if he doesn't teach you a lesson today, you will never know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the intention is: to seize the title of King Yu and be grounded for three months." ”
Subsequently, His Majesty turned his head to look at Anno: "General An, looking at your merits in the Japanese army, I will not move you, but how do you lead the troops again when such a thing is passed out?" How your subordinates will talk about you, hand over the military power today, and be your three imperial concubines with peace of mind. ”
Anno prostrated stiffly, "Your Majesty, your majesty, the subject leads the will." ”
"Father Emperor, Father Emperor..." Jing Yue was still eager to intercede, and was cold by His Majesty's words: "Yue'er, you must keep to yourself in peace, and don't think about things that should not be yours." ”
Things should have come to an end everywhere, and the empress came out again to make trouble: "Your Majesty, what about Jing He's marriage?" It has been announced to the world, how to explain this? ”
His Majesty was very impatient: "Do you want to ask about this matter?" You look at the processing, this day and day..."
The empress rolled her eyes at him: "Your Majesty, I think Miss Su is good, she grew up with Jing He, and it just so happens that her fiancé is gone, so why not... Give it to the prince. ”
Su Nian: "Niangniang... I..."
Emperor: "Huh? Is this okay? Oh queen of yours. With a wave of the emperor's hand, a hot holy will was released.
Jing He knelt down: "Thank you Mother Queen, Father Emperor." ”
Su Nian was disheveled in the wind and could not figure out the situation.
The prince dragged the dazed Su Nian out of the main hall, and behind him, Jing Yue stared at them with complicated eyes for a long time.
Su Nian stepped on Jing He's foot, "Are you sick?" Ben had just gotten rid of one and fell into the wolf's den again. Did I say I was going to marry you? ”
Jing He: "You say lone wolf?" ”
"No, you're not a wolf, you're a fox, a scheming fox, and today's play has nothing to do with you, right?" Su Nian's brain was finally working normally.
"No, the lone wolf is the head wolf, and he eats you little white rabbit." Jing He's lips were attached to Su Nian's ear and murmured, and Su Nian's face turned red into a red glow on the edge of the sky.
"Loneliness just gives them a chance, if they do things frankly, naturally they will not step into the trap of loneliness, everything is just their selfishness." 」 After Jing He finished speaking, he held Su Nian's small hand tightly and strode away.
Six
Three months later, Anno wore a phoenix crown and married the third prince, Jingyue.
On the day of the wedding, Su Nian did not attend, but let people send a delicate dagger, and the moment Anno saw the dagger, she cried herself, she knew that Su Nian would not forgive herself.
The dagger she had captured when she was on her expedition to South Vietnam, small and delicate, cut like mud, and gave it to Su Nian for self-defense, and now it was returned.
Maybe she was wrong, she should have confessed to Su Nian. However, everything was too late, and the harm she had caused to Su Nian could never be repaired.
Once upon a time, she galloped on the grassland, like a free bird, and now, she can only stay in the man's backyard like other women, is this really the life she wants? She was confused.
Anno knew that Jingyue's love for her was not only her person, but also the military power in her hands, and now, what made her proud had been taken back by His Majesty.
She was too greedy, both coveting Jingyue's pursuit and the position of the princess, she regretted not being in the beginning, but there was no regret medicine in the world to sell.
To be continued...
