On the second day of Meng Que and the eldest princess's wedding, my fiancée's three-foot white silk hung on the beam.
When the coffin was put into the burial, it was full of Meng Que's personal belongings.
Her close friend angrily reprimanded: "Yan'er's love in this life, Meng Que, is your robber who has taken it by force, and you have to intervene!"
Meng Que wept blood: "If it weren't for you coercing Yan'er to make a marriage contract with you with the power of the Hou Mansion, how could there be today!"
When I opened my eyes again and looked at Xie Shiyan who was being bullied in the corner of the palace, I chose to turn a blind eye.
Later, she grabbed me in the snowstorm, her voice hoarse and desperate.
"Rokuro, don't you want me?"
But in this life, I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
01
Xie Shiyan was born as a woman, with medical skills, and she was also a famous hussar general in the dynasty.
On the day of the triumph of the army, I waited at the city gate early.
But she didn't squint, and she didn't look at me.
The little guy next to me comforted me and said, "General Xie is in a hurry to enter the palace to face the saint, let's go to Xie's mansion and wait." 」
I waited until late at night in the snowstorm, never thinking that the news of her death came—
The hussar general Xie Shiyan was personally enshrined in the Holy Mansion on the night of the Marquis of Wuyang, and he was hanged in the mansion.
The old lady was the only one left in the Xie family, and my parents couldn't bear to see the widow suffer, so they presided over the funeral for the marriage contract that had already been made.
When I was sorting out my belongings, I accidentally brushed off the makeup case and threw out many men's belongings, none of which were mine.
The eye was attracted by a jade pendant made of white jade, and the word "Meng" on it was particularly dazzling.
The box containing the objects is a fine pear blossom wood, which is placed in the most conspicuous place of the dressing table, and it must be taken out from time to time to see things and think about people.
Looking at the capital, the people surnamed Meng who have dealings with Xie Shiyan are only the second son of the Meng family-
The concubine who just married the eldest princess yesterday, Meng Que.
I met as a teenager and knew each other for seven years, but I didn't know that her heart for Meng Que was so deeply hidden.
There are other people with top hearts, why did they let me come to the door to propose marriage that day?
My heart throbbed, mixed with the mixed emotions of anger.
"You've got something to move her face!"
I looked up, and the person who came was Xie Shiyan's only close friend.
Feng Yuan said with a resentful expression, "Many years ago, Yan'er went up the mountain to collect medicine, but accidentally fell off the cliff and was rescued by Meng Gongzi. 」
"Fate is unfair, Yan'er was not treated well when she was young, and she was often bullied by her brothers and sisters at home, and it was Meng Gongzi who pulled her out of the abyss. 」
"They are a match made in heaven! You robbers, you robbers, you have to step in the way!"
"Use the power of your Hou Mansion to force her to marry you!"
"Do you know that her medical skills were originally learned by Meng Gongzi, and she was originally learned to be able to heal him on the battlefield!"
A good Hou Mansion is powerful, and a good one is sideways.
This marriage contract is all my own passion.
The only trace of sorrow in my heart also passed away with the wind.
There was a faint noise in the front hall, Feng Yuan walked out quickly, it was Meng Que who came to condole.
Feng Yuan stepped forward to comfort him, and he said with a sad expression: "Yan'er and I are in love, and the marriage contract with the princess is also a last resort, but in the final analysis, it is all because..."
"Liang Qi, you relied on the identity of the Hou Mansion to threaten my father to go out to fight for grain and grass, and forced Yan'er to make a marriage contract with you. 」
"It even made a stumbling block from it, causing me to marry the princess..."
"How can you be the husband of such a sinister act!"
Pressure? Stemming?
Xie Shiyan personally asked me to come to the door to propose, how can I coerce her!
After the matter of grain and grass was proposed, my father did it himself under the pressure of the court!
Married to a princess, and I got in the way?
Feng Yuan quickly stepped forward and beat me: "You bastard who beats mandarin ducks!"
"For his own selfishness, he harmed Yan'er!"
I raised my hand and pushed him away.
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"
"Not to mention that you have stopped the eldest princess Luan many times. Now that you are a concubine, what face do you have here to say that you are happy with others!"
Feng Yuan gritted his teeth and lunged at me again, and I fell backwards unsteadily, slamming into the sharp object behind me.
Severe pain hit, a hot flow in the back of the brain, and consciousness gradually blurred.
I actually ...... Died like that?
Heh, it's not worth it.
02
It's been more than a month since I woke up again.
It was probably the grievance that God saw me die, and gave me another chance, to be reborn before Xie Shiyan asked me to come to the door to propose.
In her previous life, her father never minded that the Xie family was not visible, and it took a lot of effort for her to enter the military camp as a woman.
My dynasty has always had women as generals, but they are all women from families, all of whom have family backings, and their ancestors are in the shadows, so it is easier to mix with an official and a half-job.
A white body like Xie Shiyan is still the first one.
Thinking about the old friendship with the Xie family, women have a lot of inconvenience in the army, and I have always been more attentive to her than others.
Unexpectedly, such an ugly thing happened, and it caused me to bear the name of beating mandarin ducks with power and power, and lost my life in vain.
Now that half a month has passed, Xie Shiyan didn't ask me for an outing, but got interesting news.
"Childe" Du Wei came in with his clothes: "Recently, it has been rumored in Beijing that the good things of General Xie and the second son of the Meng family are approaching. 」
Xie Shiyan and Meng Que?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Du Wei said to himself: "I heard that Meng Gongzi saved Miss Xie in the past, and now he is recognized by Miss Xie, and in the name of repaying his kindness, he sent a lot of gifts to Meng's Mansion. 」
It turns out that Xie Shiyan was also reborn?
It's so good, I want to see if this couple who are in love with the flounder can get their wish in this life.
"Childe, it's time for us to enter the palace too, it's not good when it's late. 」
The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet is obviously to invite officials and relatives to have fun, but in fact, it is to choose a horse for the eldest princess. His Majesty has only one sister, and he has always been extremely concerned about her marriage.
In his previous life, Meng Que saw the eldest princess for the first time at this banquet, and since then he has been entangled with her.
It is said that the eldest princess didn't look down on him, but Meng Que was a concubine, and in order to get rid of the oppression of the Meng family, he did everything he could, and finally got into the princess's mansion as he wished.
Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the palace, I met Xie Shiyan head-on, followed by Meng Que.
"The sixth prince is also here today, and I haven't seen him for a long time. 」
I nodded in response, but I wanted to leave but was stopped by Xie Shiyan: "Meng Lang is talking to you, is the Hou Mansion tutor like this?"
Meng Que pretended not to care, waved his hand and said, "It's just Yan'er, he Liang Liulang has always been like this, and he looks down on us concubines. 」
Xie Shiyan said disdainfully: "What about the heirs? There are many heirs in the Hou Mansion, is it his turn to be the sixth in line?"
Hearing this, I swept them with a slap in the eye: "Talking about concubines in the palace?"
"Your Majesty is not from the Empress of the Middle Palace, so you two want to move your head like this?"
The first queen and the first emperor were in love with each other, but they had no children under their knees due to old diseases, and they died early, and the first emperor never established a queen after that.
His Majesty is now the result of the Imperial Concubine.
Dare to talk about the concubine in the palace, this intelligence, the two are really a perfect match.
Hearing this, Xie Shiyan also noticed that something was wrong, but she still protected her heart and soul baby: "Meng Lang is the most heartless, you don't want to speculate maliciously and reverse black and white." 」
Sure enough, Xie Shiyan was also reborn.
She looked at me with undisguised disgust, and although she loved other things in her previous life, she had never spoken at me like this.
Now that she is doing it again, she didn't let me come to the door to propose marriage again, because she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life and miss the love of her life.
"Miss Xie is too wide. I met Xie Shiyan's gaze and said slowly, "Second Prince Meng, a dignified seven-foot man, why do you have to pass on anything you have to say?"
"Or is it true that the rumors about you and Meng Ergongzi in Beijing recently?"
Although there are rumors these days, no one has ever said it on the surface.
Now I don't shy away from making it clear that the two of them can't hang up on their faces.
"You ......"
I bumped into the two of them and walked away, not giving her a chance to finish.
I have been busy with military affairs all year round, and I rarely attend banquets, and this time I entered the palace to verify my conjecture.
Dismissal Thoughts Front 碰上 and two others.
It's really unlucky.
03
After three rounds of drinking, the originally somewhat restrained atmosphere gradually became lively.
Halfway through the banquet, the children of the eunuchs present chatted one by one, and they all changed their ways to talk to the eldest princess.
It's just that the eldest princess sat impatiently under the imperial concubine, and she was faintly bored.
"Your Majesty. Meng Que Shi Ran got up and arched his hand and said, "The minister heard that the sixth prince of the Hou Mansion has excellent martial arts, and he is a good sword of martial arts. 」
"I don't know if I can have the honor to see it today?"
I took a sip of the wine in my glass and looked at Meng Que, "What kind of place is this second son Meng?"
"The dancing girl in the palace is not enough, you see, but I live in a simple place, and I missed the news that Meng Ergongzi is a good man?"
The eyes of the whole hall were cast to this side, and many people who didn't deal with Meng Que on weekdays wanted to see jokes, and some people even made sarcastic remarks.
"Recently, isn't it rumored that the good things between Meng Ergongzi and Miss Xie are coming, why are they so manly?"
In her previous life, Meng Que had always been the eldest princess, and she also paid attention to the distance between her and Xie Shiyan, and never sent any unbearable messages.
Meng Que pays great attention to his own image on weekdays, and at this moment, he is embarrassed by everyone's staring, and he doesn't choose to speak: "Que is a concubine, and his family background is not as good as the sixth son, let alone the prestige of the sixth prince in the army, so what you say is what it is. 」
"Oh?" I smiled and said, "Second Master Meng is saying that I am a bully and look down on your identity?"
"The second prince talks about his status like this, but His Majesty never advocates the distinction between concubines and concubines, I think the second prince thinks His Majesty's words are wrong?"
"You don't want to spew blood, I've never said such a rebellious thing!"
Hearing this, the emperor was unhappy, and the concubine Niangniang hurriedly played a round, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere tonight.
But the eldest princess's face darkened, and she didn't intend to let him go, so she sat down and said slowly: "The Meng Mansion is really a good style, and the sons who have been taught can talk about the Son of Heaven in vain. 」
Seeing this, Xie Shiyan was busy trying to stand up for her good lover: "Eldest princess Mingjian, this is all nonsense, someone is just framing her. 」
After that, he glanced at me, and it was self-evident what he meant.
The eldest princess didn't eat her, and sneered: "Well, Wuyang Hou is so anxious to defend, it seems that the second prince Meng and Miss Xie are really good things are coming. 」
Xie Shiyan's face was full of shame, and she couldn't say a complete sentence for a while, but looking at Meng Que, her face was darker than her talent.
Joke, his purpose today is to have a relationship with the eldest princess, and now he doesn't want to see it.
The small episode did not make any waves, and the banquet ended smoothly.
I was stopped by Xie Shiyan on the way out of the palace: "Liang Qi, don't embarrass Meng Lang anymore. 」
I didn't say anything, and she continued, "When I was a child, I did receive a little favor from your Liang family, and I know your thoughts about me, but I will repay you from the side. 」
"The person I like has always been Meng Lang, I advise you to die of this heart, and don't have today's banquet again. 」
Back then, I pulled her out of the snow on the outskirts of Beijing with my bare hands.
gave her a place to live, introduced her to the military camp, earned her current outstanding military achievements, and took care of her in the army.
From a little beggar who everyone shouts and beats on the street to a successful female general.
Does she call it a little favor?
"It's a big face. I looked at her with disdain.
"Your kind of goods are worthy of my eyes?"
"The people I have saved in my Hou Mansion over the years are not one thousand but eight hundred, and in my eyes, you are no different from ordinary beggars on the street. 」
"I'm not interested in you or your Meng Lang, General Xie better not be sentimental. 」
"It's just that the grace of reinvention can be said to be "a little favor", and Liang has been taught today. 」
After saying that, he turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered, "However, I see that your Meng Lang is very attentive to the eldest princess. 」
"Why, I didn't see him with you, didn't you go to find the eldest princess again?"
Hearing this, Xie Shiyan's face changed instantly, as if she remembered something, turned around and walked away quickly.
finally gained a foothold in this woman's difficult world, but she was in love and love all day long, and she didn't have any extra brains.
A few words can sway emotions.
Really...... Idiot!
04
More than a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, military reports came from the frontier that the Hu people invaded the mainland territory.
In her previous life, the granddaughter of the Shen family went to the north with Xie Shiyan, but because Xie Shiyan delayed the military situation, she died in the north at a young age.
The three generations of the Shen family have served in the army, all of whom died in the war for the country, and now only Shen Yue is left, a lone seedling, which was a good seedling for marching and fighting, and he was folded in the north when he first entered the battlefield.
After Shen Yue died in battle, our army retreated and could only defend Shanhaiguan.
Then Xie Shiyan sent a letter back to Beijing, saying that the food and grass in the city were insufficient and needed support, and His Majesty had already complained about the unfavorable military situation, and because Shen Yue's matter was lingering, he deliberately dragged it out and did not approve.
It was my father who withstood the pressure of the Manchu dynasty and personally asked for the supervision of the grain and grass.
The north was already bitterly cold, and the Hu people were even less food and grass, and it was with her father's help that Xie Shiyan won the battle.
After thinking about it again, I still had someone deliver a letter to the Shen family the night before the army started.
With my reminder, Shen Yue was prepared this time, and sent someone to keep an eye on Xie Shiyan to avoid the trap of the Hu people.
When the first snow fell in Beijing, the frontier sent back good news.
Shen Yue defeated the enemy army, captured the leader of the Hu people, and the army returned to Beijing in a few days, and it could be reached before the New Year's Pass.
Xie Shiyan not only did not make military achievements, but also delayed the military plane and almost killed Shen Yue.
also broke a leg because of greed.
When the news came back to Beijing, the people were filled with indignation.
It was Chinese New Year's Eve on the day of the army's triumph, and I booked the elegant room with the best view on the main road of the city gate.
When Shen Yue entered the city, the people greeted him, and when he saw Xie Shiyan following behind, he took out the eggs and vegetable leaves that had been prepared a long time ago and smashed them angrily.
"You waste, you almost killed General Shen! Do you know that you are the last general of the Shen family!"
"Greedy dogs, it's really cheap for you to break one leg!"
"Why don't you just die on the frontier?
I leaned on the edge of the window, watching Xie Shiyan's embarrassing scene, and my heart was calm.
Xie Shiyan, without the help of my Hou Mansion in this life, how capable do you have?
I was stunned for a moment, staring at it for a long time, and she seemed to notice it, and suddenly raised her head to meet my eyes, first in astonishment, and then in her eyes full of resentment.
I didn't care, smiled back and turned away.
In her previous life, she was welcomed by the people and enjoyed praise and praise.
But nothing should be taken for granted, and the result will not be the same, it just depends on what you choose.
After entering the palace to face the saint, Shen Yue was named the general of Fuyuan. Xie Shiyan was suspended for three months and fined one year for repeated mistakes in the army.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, His Majesty held a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for Shen Yue.
As I passed by the Imperial Garden, I was stopped by a neat female voice, "Mr. Liang, please stay." 」
I stopped, turned my head and saw that it was Shen Yue, casting an inquiring gaze.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Shen Yue continued, "Shen Yue knows that the letter was written by Gongzi. 」
"Although I don't know how Childe knows, I still have to thank Childe for saving his life. 」
The letter only told her to pay more attention to Xie Shiyan's movements and not to trust her too much, and did not reveal her identity.
More is better than less, I slapped the folding fan and said, "I haven't written any letters, I don't understand what the general is talking about. 」
Shen Yue stared at me for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted.
"General Shen!"
When you hear the voice that makes people annoyed, you don't need to look at it to know who it is.
Meng Que hurriedly stepped forward: "I didn't expect to meet the general here by such a coincidence, it's really fate. 」
It's a coincidental fate, and it's all due to the promising golden people.
Shen Yue is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty, how could he, Meng Que, let go of the opportunity to climb the relationship.
As if he had just seen me, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Liang Gongzi is also there." 」
At the end, it meant something in general: "Forgive me for saying more, if outsiders see it, you and General Shen are alone in the same place, and it will not be good for General Shen's reputation to spread it. 」
Hearing this, Shen Yue's face was unhappy, dissatisfied with Meng Que's self-talking.
I was noncommittal, and instead stared at Meng Que: "What is the reputation of my Hou Mansion, when will it be your turn to put your beak?"
Catching a glimpse of Xie Shiyan coming behind her, I added, "It's you, during the days when Miss Xie was away, I heard that you went to the princess's mansion very diligently?"
"At the banquets of various families, the eldest princess has also been entangled many times, your Meng family's door style, huh...... Very good. 」
After that, he raised his feet and left, passing by Xie Shiyan's side, but was stopped by her: "Don't think that such a few words can provoke the relationship between me and Meng Lang. 」
Hearing this, Meng Que turned around and saw Xie Shiyan, and exclaimed, "Yan'er......"
"Oh?" I looked up at him, "Miss Xie's face didn't quite match what she said. 」
I quietly withdrew my hand and walked in the direction of leaving the palace.
Meng Que was anxious to explain behind me, and I didn't have the heart to listen to it at all.
05
Xie Shiyan stopped for a few days, and then ran to the third prince.
The messenger sent to keep an eye on her said that three of the five days they were to meet in the private room of the Heavenly Chamber.
But it's hard to come forward and listen to what you're talking about.
Since the matter of delivering the letter to Shen Yue last time has been seen through, then the good person will do it to the end and hand her a letter again.
The three princes coveted the position of the prince, and formed a lot of parties in the court for personal gain, but they had no ink on their chests, and they were useless.
The Earl's Court held a polo club in the suburbs of Beijing, and invited the nobles of Beijing, and Shen Yue naturally wanted to go, and at that time, I would find another opportunity to inform the news.
Shen Yue is friendly with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who supports the crown prince, and the Shen family has always supported the prince's faction, when His Majesty was still the crown prince, General Shen was like this. This time, I should sell my personal favor to her, and it will be beneficial to the Hou Mansion for the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future.
After that experience in my previous life, I figured it out, and it was all good
