The legendary fate of the female consort will be destined for three lives

Nearly three o'clock, Donghua sent a servant girl back to report. Chaoyue's heart sank when she heard this, but she still said to Xiang'er without changing her face, "In that case, I will take off my clothes and go to sleep."

After Xiang'er left, Chaoyue opened her eyes and thought that Donghua had sobered up outside the room last night and never entered the room again. He didn't come back today. I don't know why. Then he thought of Donghua's fiery kiss yesterday and couldn't help feeling hot all over his body , This night I tossed and turned until the sky turned pale before I gradually fell asleep.

At noon the next day, Donghua and Baicao came out of the room. While having lunch, Chaoyue couldn't help asking, "Junior Baicao, what kind of questions did you study with Donghua?"

Baicao hurriedly looked at Donghua.

Donghua answered unhurriedly, "It's just some weird questions that master and uncle often discuss on weekdays. They are very boring. The princess probably won't want to know." Chaoyue didn't ask too much after hearing about it.

After that, for three or five consecutive days, Donghua said that he and Baicao were studying poetry and books all night. Chaoyue was already quite unhappy, and asked in front of the two of them at noon one day, "I am quite curious. What exactly did you study?"

Baicao signaled Donghua to answer, Donghua was about to speak, and said to the moon, "Why don't you let your brother-in-law talk, Baicao is usually reticent, so you can talk about it today."

Baicao immediately held a cup of tea in the air, and said after a pause, "Master and uncle often argue endlessly about whether medicine can save the world or civil and martial arts. As disciples, we both naturally think that our master is right, so we debated endlessly for a few days. "

Chaoyue nodded silently when she heard this, and said nothing.

Donghua saw that Baicao was usually dull, but now he was thinking quickly, so he couldn't help giving Baicao a look of admiration, and Baicao just stared back at Donghua.But all of this was seen by Xiang'er who was standing aside.

After noon, Xiang'er went to the dining room to order dinner, and heard a few little maids in the dining room deliberately lowering their voices and saying, "I heard that the son-in-law never spends the night in the princess's room, but sleeps with the younger brother every night. You said that this son-in-law and What is the relationship between his junior brother?", only to hear another person say, "You mean...impossible, everyone knows that the son-in-law and the princess have a deep relationship, how can the son-in-law be as good as Long Yang, you Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be heard by others!"

"Where am I talking nonsense, everyone in the mansion is saying so now, don't you look at how much time has passed, it's not just a day or two."

When Xiang'er heard this, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "What is the dining room preparing for tonight? The princess ordered me to come and see", and then deliberately slowed down and walked in.When Xiang'er went back and saw Chaoyue reading quietly alone, she was anxious to remind the princess but didn't know how to speak, Chaoyue looked up at Xiang'er with a hesitant expression and asked, "But what do you want to say to me?" Palace talk?"

Xiang'er looked at Chaoyue still unable to speak, Chaoyue frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiang'er had no choice but to tell Chaoyue what she heard at the door of the dining room, but she omitted the location and person because she was afraid that Chaoyue would blame the little maid in the dining room.

Chao Yue heard that she put down the scroll in her hand, lowered her head and sighed, "It turns out that everyone in the house is guessing like this..."

"Did the princess also hear the gossip?"

Chaoyue nodded silently.

"But the son-in-law doesn't look like that. Although the son-in-law is suave and suave, and Baicao is thin and weak, the two of them are just good brothers and sisters. What's more, the son-in-law has a special liking for the princess, everyone can see it!" After a pause, he continued, "But the son-in-law does stay at Baicao every night..., Princess, please think of a way!"

Chaoyue pondered for a moment and sighed quietly, "What can I do?" As he said this, Chaoyue had already made up his mind in his heart, otherwise it wouldn't be proper to go on like this.

At dinner, the three of them lowered their heads to eat, Xiang'er looked at Chaoyue, Chaoyue looked up at Donghua and Baicao, put down the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Baicao and said, "Today, the aunt in the palace sent someone to say goodbye. There is no one to take care of the garden, and I feel uneasy, the affairs in the mansion are complicated, and Uncle Rong can't get away, I thought about it for a while and thought that Junior Brother Baicao should be the best candidate, I don't know what Junior Brother thinks?"

Baicao didn't know how to answer for a while, so she turned to look at Donghua.

Donghua tentatively replied, "Junior brother also doesn't have much experience, so I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Chaoyue said sternly, "Baicao is now an official of the court, and the son-in-law can't take Baicao with him every day. After all, one day Baicao will marry a wife and have children."

Baicao heard that there was something in Chaoyue's words at this moment, so she replied, "What the princess said is true, so please rest assured, Baicao will take good care of it in the past."

Seeing that Baicao had already answered in this way, Donghua couldn't say much.

After dinner, Baicao went back to the room first, and Donghua left with Baicao without saying a word. Looking at the back of the two, Chaoyue couldn't help frowning, her face as cold as ice.

Donghua closed the door and blamed Baicao, "Junior brother, why did you promise her just now?"

Baicao said helplessly, "The princess has already spoken so clearly, why don't I go?" He hesitated for a moment and continued, "Brother, you don't know that everyone in the mansion is saying that you are the best of Longyang?"

Donghua snorted coldly, "Junior Brother, do you think I'm the best of Longyang?"

Baicao was a little impatient, "I don't want to be caught between the two of you, besides, it will only become more and more chaotic if I'm caught here, I'm afraid the princess won't allow me to stay in the consort's mansion even if I don't agree today There will be other things, just imagine which princess in the world can tolerate this?"

"But you left, brother, what should I do?"

"Brother, you have great powers and you will naturally find a solution, but what is your plan, brother? This is not a long-term solution."

Donghua frowned and said, "For a long time? Only if the princess is willing to admit me as a son-in-law after knowing the details, can it last for a long time, but right now is not the time."

"This matter is dangerous, senior brother should not act rashly, but right now I can't help much, so I can only go to the other garden first, fortunately it is not far away, senior brother can send someone to find me anytime if there is anything to do."

After Baicao finished speaking, he began to pack his clothes.In the early morning of the second day, Donghua sent Baicao away silently, and Chaoyue couldn't help trembling when he saw Donghua's eyes sadly. Could the rumors be true?If it is true, what should I do?

Donghua was afraid that night would fall this day, but the night naturally fell. Donghua whispered to the princess in front of everyone after dinner, "Princess, go back first, I will go to the study to find a book." leave.

That night, Chaoyue sat quietly in the room waiting for Donghua, but seeing that Donghua was still missing after three o'clock, Chaoyue sent Xiang'er to the study.Not long after, Xiang'er came back and faltered and said, "The son-in-law...the son-in-law said he wants to continue studying and let the princess go to bed first...", Chaoyue's heart was as cold as water at the moment, and she said nothing She waved her hand to signal Xiang'er to go out, Xiang'er had no choice but to go out with a sigh and close the door behind her.Seeing that the door of the room was closed, Chaoyue took out a kit from under the pillow, and gently took out the concentric knot that she had made with the hair of the two of them, watching the tears rolling down her cheeks, Donghua's eagerness was circling in her mind. Her eyes, affectionate words, and even the fiery kiss on the wedding night, but now why it ended up like this, the more Chaoyue thinks about it, the more puzzled she becomes, and the more she thinks about it, the more wronged she becomes, and she doesn't realize that the curtains in front of the bed are wet with tears.

Donghua is sitting alone in the quiet study at the moment, even though he has a bed, he has no intention of sleeping, thinking that he will disappoint Chaoyue again tonight, thinking of her disappointed and lonely eyes, his heart twitches, how innocent Chaoyue is to be tortured by himself like this, I keep saying that the world is alive and the court is in danger, but in fact it is not all due to my own selfishness. In order to stay by her side, I let her endure this unexplained suffering every day.The more Donghua thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and he was angry and hated towards himself. The eyes of Chaoyue staring at him affectionately appeared in his mind, and his heart softened again. Suddenly, he remembered that he had read a book before. A passage in the book, I was touched by that affection at the time, and now I should be in the same state of mind, so I wrote it down:

I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and said to the Bodhisattva, that woman is my lover, we love each other, although we have already had the ceremony of knotting our hair, but we may not be able to live forever, I will worship in front of you today and tell you and myself, from now on in my life In my heart, she is my wife.No matter what happens, I just treat her kindly, pamper her, try my best to understand her, and fulfill her.

Her sorrows and joys are the reason why my heart is moved.

Donghua had tears dripping on the paper after writing the last word, he bit his lip and tried hard not to let the rest of the tears fall, this was originally his favorite passage, he devoted all his heart and soul to it, and now he presses it I changed my situation slightly, but I didn't expect that after many years, my heart was still full of twists and turns, and I shed tears.

The author has something to say:

"Once Upon a Time in Shanghai" by Zhang Haoyin

I read this book many years ago and was deeply touched by it. Now I can't help quoting this classic discourse. In order to show respect for the original book and the author, I hereby mark it.

The original text is:

I said to the Bodhisattva, the woman kneeling in front of you with me is my lover. We are in love, but we cannot live forever. To worship in front of you today is also a ceremony for us to tie hair. In my heart, she is my wife.No matter what happens, I just treat her kindly, pamper her, try my best to understand her, and fulfill her.

Her sorrows and joys are the reason why my heart is moved.
