There's something wrong with the lonely princess

"Have you heard? The Holy Majesty gave Prince Jing a marriage! Whose family? The first assistant is the talented and beautiful lady of Xie's family. That Miss Xie is the most beautiful woman in Yejing City. She is proficient in everything , is a rare beauty! What a pity."

Someone who didn't understand asked: "What a pity? Isn't such a beautiful woman worthy of a crown prince?"

"Where did you come from, what a pity? Such a good person, matched with that Prince Jing, how can you not be a pity?"

"I've heard about it." Someone with something good squeezed over and lowered his voice: "When Miss Xie heard that she was going to marry the prince, she hanged herself eight times and threw herself into the lake five times and took poison twice. She wanted to die!"

"Why, what is this?" The person who didn't understand before asked again: "That's the prince, why is this Miss Xie dying rather than marrying?"

"Why?" The speaker lowered his voice, whispered to his ear, "everyone in Ye capital knows that Prince Jing is a cripple who is not good at behavior!"

"People in wheelchairs, I heard that they can't do that either." Someone sighed: "Whoever marries him is tantamount to falling into a pit of fire. Not to mention Miss Xie, even our erya, I don't even want to!"

"Cut, just dream, and return your two ya, can the crown prince take a fancy to you two ya? Are you making trouble?"

"Hehe, just kidding."

The teahouse was bustling with people, and after a while, the topic changed to other aspects. As for Prince Jing's marriage, it was nothing more than a gossip after dinner, and the noise was over.

In the corner of the teahouse, a man dressed like a servant showed a bit of disapproval on his face. He dropped a few taels of silver and left the teahouse. He turned a few corners along the street, walked around a few alleys, and entered the Prince's Mansion. The back door, and then went all the way to Donghuayuan.

"That's all." Bai Li gritted his teeth, his eyes were red: "Your Highness, Miss Xie's eyes are blind, she doesn't want to marry, we don't want to marry her yet, how many people are vying for the position of Crown Princess , it is her blessing that the emperor bestowed the marriage, our prince..."

"Bai Li, don't do this." A soft reprimand, with a little emptiness, seemed to come from the ravine in the mountains, with a bit of gentle coolness: "Miss Xie is well-known in Yejing, she should have a good match. Yes, if you really marry an orphan, what's the difference from entering a pit of fire? An orphan is a useless person and shouldn't be a burden to others. Forget it, Bai Li, change clothes and enter the palace."

"Your Highness." Bai Li's voice was trembling: "Your Highness has already annoyed the Emperor, if he refuses again, I'm afraid the Emperor will blame His Highness."

The wooden wheelchair "creaked" twice, and the person in front of the window turned the wheelchair and moved over. The begonia outside the window fell with the wind and sprinkled on the thin blanket covering his body. A pair of slender hands gently twisted the petals and clamped them on the pages of the book. During the meeting, he handed the book to Bai Li.

"If you blame it, just blame it. You can't delay someone's life." The face of the person in the wheelchair was abnormally pale, and even his delicate facial features lost some color due to illness, which made people feel pity.

"Didn't you hear that too? Miss Xie would rather die than marry. If it's really urgent, it's a human life. I will ask my father to take it back, so I can't harm other girls."

Hearing the prince's words, Bai Li turned his back, raised his hands and covered his eyes with his sleeves, and there was a sound of sobbing. Li Shengjing turned his head and saw Bai Li's aggrieved appearance, and sighed softly: "Bai Li, this is fate, lonely Don't cry, prepare your clothes to enter the palace with you alone."

On the Gujue Peak, two figures were fighting. The silver mask and the long sword in the black clothes made the one dazzled. The gray robe was obviously at a disadvantage. After a hundred and ten moves, they were finally defeated. The long sword in the hand was covered by the silver mask. Tiao Luo, knocked back the gray-robed man a few steps with a palm, and simply pulled the sword flower neatly: "Brother Li has accepted."

"Don't dare, I tried my best. This time, you are the top of the list of swordsmen, Yan Luo Yan Yi, the ghost face, again. Let's go down the mountain and have a drink. Anyway, you have to treat."

"It's easy to talk about." The silver mask smiled brightly: "It doesn't matter who is the first and who is the second if you can have a quick fight with Brother Li?"

"That's what you said, why didn't you let me do a few tricks just now?"

The silver mask patted the shoulder of the gray robe: "How can I do that? If I give in, I'm sorry for Brother Li. Let's go, drink first, and discuss it another day."

Just when he got down to the foot of the mountain, a family member came up in a hurry: "My lord, there is something urgent."

The gray robe laughed immediately after hearing the words: "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that you ghost-faced Yan Luo is a handsome son of an aristocratic family, could it be true?" As he said that, he was about to sneak attack to pick off the silver mask, but Yan Yi dodged it deftly and smiled. Reply: "Brother Li, this is not kind. If you take off my mask, you can take it off in a fair manner. Why use this trick to make people know the joke."

"Who doesn't know your rules? If I can take off your mask in the competition, why do I use that trick? Forget it, I don't have the chance to see what this nobleman looks like. I think there are nine out of ten He's an ugly monster, otherwise why are you wearing a mask?"

The gray robe is Li Liang, who is known as the "Quick Hand Shadowless Sword" by people in the Jianghu. Since Jianghu, Yan Yi has always been at the top of the list of swordsmen ranked every three years. Although Li Liang is not reconciled, he is still convinced.

"Nonsense, my son is very handsome, he is not ugly!"

"You talk too much." Yan Yi patted the boy with the scabbard, and asked him: "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I just say, go home after the sword fight."

"Something happened." The servant said, and glanced at Li Liang next to him: "My lord, it's a big deal!"

Li Liang: "Okay, today's drink is considered to be undrinkable, remember that you owe me a drink, and I will get it back."

"It's easy to say, Brother Li can come and ask for it at any time."

"Okay, tell me, what's the big deal?"

The person whose pseudonym was Yan Yi was none other than Xie Yiyan, the talented and beautiful young lady of the Xie family.

Just because Xie's family couldn't support a boy, Xie Yiyan's two elder brothers all died young, and when they arrived at Xie Yiyan's place, they were born with many illnesses.

On the day of the full moon, a monk suddenly came to the house and gave him a life-saving talisman, saying that the Xie family was doomed to have no children and could not raise a boy. He got his ears pierced and changed into women's clothes, and from now on he was only raised as a lady, until he was about ten years old, the monk came again, and accepted Xie Yiyan as his apprentice, saying that it was to teach him some skills to strengthen his body.

The Xie family thinks this is a good thing, who knows that this teaching can teach the best sword in the world, which is also amazing.

"The emperor gave the young lady a marriage."

Xie Yiyan almost fell off the horse: "What is it? Marriage?"

The servant said with a bitter face: "Yes, Madam has done a great job of building up the eldest lady in the past two years. The city of Yejing is both talented and beautiful. He is proficient in everything, and the eldest lady is praised so much that there is nothing in the world. This is not true. , Let the royal family know that the emperor bestowed a marriage and betrothed the young lady to the prince to be the princess!"

"What does my father say?" Xie Yiyan tightened the reins.

"The master said that the emperor's order is hard to violate. The emperor has issued an imperial edict. If we don't follow it, we will disobey the order and be disrespectful, and it will be a capital offense." The family member sighed repeatedly: "If you say that you are really married, it is deceiving the emperor, and it is also a capital offense."

"It doesn't mean that he didn't say anything. He has been fooling all his life in the court, and now he is still fooling me. For such a big matter, he hastened to find a way to ask the emperor to take it back. What's the use of analyzing it!"

"I think about it." The servant chased after him on horseback: "The master asked someone to spread the news in the capital, saying that the eldest lady is unwilling to marry, and has been hanged and thrown into the lake for several times, and now I invite you to go back and discuss what to do about this matter. "

Xie's study.

Mrs. Xie was wiping her tears, crying miserably: "Tell me about you, why didn't you realize that the emperor had the intention of bestowing a marriage? You are the chief assistant, and you can't even figure out the holy meaning. What kind of official are you? Forget about farming at home! If we had known earlier, we would have told Yan'er about a marriage in advance, how could such a thing be arranged?"

Xie Yiyan was wiping his sword next to him, when he heard this, he looked up at Mrs. Xie, and reminded: "Mother, this is not a matter of talking about marriage in advance."

Mrs. Xie: "What do you know, let's go back to our hometown and recruit a son-in-law, and we can always hide it perfunctorily."

Xie Shoufu flicked his sleeves: "Nonsense, what do you know, you woman? Yan'er is a boy. If you recruit a few sons-in-law, they are all men!"

"Do you know that you haven't made any early plans? It's good now, you don't need to recruit a son-in-law who comes to visit, and go to be the emperor's daughter-in-law. I'll see what you do!"

"It's not that there is no room for change in this matter. The prince entered the palace early in the morning to talk about it. As long as the prince can persuade the emperor to withdraw his order, this matter will not be possible." Xie Shoufu comforted his wife: "Don't cry, just What's the use of crying."

Xie Yiyan closed the scabbard, not quite understanding: "Why would the prince withdraw the engagement? Could it be that he doesn't want to accept this marriage? It shouldn't be. I often hear that the prince is weak in the court. For the crown prince, it should be a help, why doesn't he want to?"

Xie Shoufu sighed: "You know it all, others don't know? Do you know why the emperor's decree to bestow marriage came down when there was no news about your father?"

"Why?" Xie Yiyan didn't quite understand: "Could it be that the emperor doesn't trust dad anymore?"

"That's not true." Xie Shoufu waved his hand: "It's someone who wants to separate your father from the prince. The emperor trusts me. If the wife marry our family, it will be a hundred benefits. But if our family is not willing to marry the prince But the emperor issued a decree to bestow a marriage, then this is not a relationship, but a resentment."

"How do those people know that our family doesn't want it?" Xie Yiyan didn't understand: "My man's identity is a secret, only a few confidants in the family know the inside story, and no one else knows, it makes no sense."

"My son, are you running around stupidly?" Mrs. Xie pulled Xie Yiyan away: "The prince, who is not good at behavior, how can he marry? Whose daughter married him, just fell into the pit of fire, and was ruined for the rest of her life. gone."

"It's a pity to say that Prince Jing is fine except for this point." Xie Shoufu shook his head and sighed: "The reason why Dad sent someone to release the news that you would rather die than marry is because he is the most benevolent. Zhai Renhou absolutely cannot bear to see this kind of thing, and it is much more useful for a prince to enter the palace to beg than us to beg."

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Xie Yiyan and waved his hand: "Hurry up and go back and change your clothes. It's a very important time right now. You can't be so reckless. If people find out, it will be even more troublesome."

"Father, can the prince say something?"

"If the crown prince can't ask for it, then I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver in this matter." Xie Shoufu is still more optimistic: "And wait for the news, the emperor treats the prince differently. Take back your life."

Outside the Chaoyang Hall, the sun was gradually moving westward. Li Shengjing was sitting in a wheelchair with white lips. He sat outside without eating or drinking all day long. The gate of the palace was closed, not to mention Bai Li behind him. The little servants guarding the gate were all anxious.

He brought a cup of tea and handed it over respectfully: "Your Majesty said, please go back, His Royal Highness, the imperial edict has been issued, and Miss Xie's family will marry no matter what. If she doesn't want to, she can just seek death and be buried as the crown princess after she dies." , into the royal mausoleum."

"What's the reason?" Li Shengjing's voice was hoarse, as if a knife had been sliced ​​through his throat, without a drop of water in the whole day: "Father, my son is a useless person, why bother to drag her girl? She doesn't want to marry me, father Is the emperor going to force her to die? Dare I ask if this is the way of the emperor to be a king? Is the emperor not afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in the world?"

"Shut up!" There was a sound of porcelain being smashed inside, and the palace door opened after a while, and Emperor Yongjia put his hands behind his back with an angry look on his face: "You are a worthless thing, this marriage cannot allow you to say no, get out, don't be here!" This is in the way of my eyes!"

"Unless the father agrees to take back his life, I will never leave." Li Shengjing who was on the wheelchair supported the armrest, twisted hard, and the whole person fell out of the wheelchair.

"Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

Li Shengjing prostrated and knelt on the ground, confronting Emperor Yongjia on the jade steps: "I beg my father to take back my life!"

"You!" Emperor Yongjia's face became even worse, and he threw down his dragon robe: "If you want to kneel, then kneel, this marriage must be done!"
