rebirth [rebirth]

Rong Jingxuan recalled the scene of that day again.

He remembered that they were also getting married that day, so he came to Xie's house in silence, and after politely receiving the greetings from Xie Xiang and his wife, he called out Xie Mingze who was waiting in the main room with a cold face.

Along the way, they did not speak a word.

After the post-sealing ceremony was completed, Xie Mingze spoke the first sentence to him.

He said he didn't want to go to the palace banquet. To be honest, if Rong Jingxuan were him, he wouldn't want to go either.

Generally speaking, on the day of the wedding, the queen is going to toast at the palace banquet to thank the civil and military officials for their loyalty to the court.

Rong Jingxuan didn't make things difficult for him, and let him go back to Chu Ming Palace, while he went to drink at the palace banquet.

He was in a bad mood, and it was rare for him to drink too much. Yu Xiude, the prince of An Guohou, tried to dissuade him several times, but he still didn't dare to grab the wine cup from his hand.

Thinking of this, Rong Jingxuan couldn't help hating himself even more.

If he hadn't been drunk at the time, he wouldn't have let Xie Mingze throw him to death with his hands and feet weak.

The country was ruined and the family was destroyed. He should have been destroyed with Da Chu instead of fleeing from Changxin Palace in a panic.

For a moment, Rong Jingxuan felt a lot of words rushing to his lips, but in the end, he only said: "Let's go Mingze, let's go get married."

Yes, he said we were going to get married.

As of today, that's all they can do.But Rong Jingxuan also made up his mind long ago, no matter what Xie Mingze chooses in the future, he will not stop him, he will respect his decision.

After living a new life, Rong Jingxuan understood many things.It's too boring to hide some words and wait for others to guess. It's better to tell the truth to each other, maybe everyone will be happy.

Rong Jingxuan paused, and took advantage of the time when Xie Mingze opened the door, he added: "Mingze, I know that you have been wronged by this matter. I hereby swear to you that all the sacrifices you made for Da Chu and me today are worthless." In the future, it will be rewarded tenfold."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin door opened with a "squeak".

Xie Mingze stood in front of the door with no expression on his face. He was only half an inch shorter than Rong Jingxuan, and his figure was unusually tall and straight. He was wearing a bright red auspicious suit, which made him look handsome and indescribably good-looking.

Rong Jingxuan didn't expect him to open the door so quickly. After a short moment of stupefaction, he continued, "The words I swear today are all from my heart. The golden mouth has been opened, and I will never forget it in this life."

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Mingze seriously.

After hundreds of days and nights, after parting from life and death, seeing Xie Mingze again, he still feels familiar.

They knew each other when they were young, studied in the same school, and spent almost most of their lives together.During the more than 300 days and nights of separation, Xie Mingze's face was never blurred.

During those years of returning to the country, when Rong Jingxuan was alone, he always thought of the crimson figure rushing to death, the bruised corpse.He will unconsciously recall Xie Mingze's appearance, he remembers that his eyes are dark ocher, he remembers that his lips are plump and full, he remembers that he is the most famous handsome young man in Yong'an City, he has a strong character in every gesture.

He always wanted to know how Xie Mingze died.

Such a person, who dared to die for him, would definitely not betray Da Chu.

It is conceivable what he suffered at that time.

If there is a chance, Rong Jingxuan really wants to exchange Xie Mingze back then, but there are no ifs in life.

Xie Mingze looked at Rong Jingxuan quietly, and the most supreme emperor of Da Chu was also watching him silently at this moment.

The two of them looked at each other without saying a word, until the magpie on the tree called three times, and then the two people who were lost in thought were called back.

Rong Jingxuan saw that Xie Mingze had remained silent, thinking that he was unhappy, so he could only sigh: "Let's go, the auspicious time has come."

"En." Xie Mingze responded softly.

For some reason, Rong Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, he took two steps towards Xie Mingze, but stopped cautiously as if afraid of disturbing him.He handed forward the red sandalwood folding fan that he had been holding tightly in his hand, and tentatively smiled at Xie Mingze.

For a moment, he immediately felt the breath of Xie Mingze's accident.

Rong Jingxuan's outstretched hand was a little stiff, he maintained a smile on his face, and still waited for the other party's response.

Xie Mingze looked down at the folding fan, then looked up at Rong Jingxuan's smiling face, and finally asked, "Your Majesty, who is this?"

"Uh..." Seeing Xie Mingze looking at him suspiciously, Rong Jingxuan suddenly felt that he was really stupid, so he hurriedly explained, "We are all men... men, it is not suitable to use wedding bands, so I found this folding fan and came out." , let it replace Xidai.”

After he finished speaking, he asked again as if asking Xie Mingze: "How?"

Seeing his tangled face, Xie Mingze suddenly laughed.

Rong Jingxuan stared at him blankly, seeing that his eyes were red from laughing, and his face had a thin rouge color, he finally felt relieved.

From childhood to adulthood, they got along very harmoniously and naturally. Xie Mingze did not respect him because of his status, and he never insisted that the son of the dragon and the emperor were superior to others. It is common for the two to joke and joke, but the one time in memory A big marriage without saying a word is the most abnormal.

They should have been like this today, although it was an extremely awkward wedding, it was relaxed and happy.

Between the two of them, just a smile can resolve everything.

Xie Mingze laughed for a long time, and finally stopped when Zhong Qi's confession came from outside the yard.

He looked down at the long folding fan again, and finally stretched out his hand to hold it gently.

The weight on the other end of the fan seemed to melt into his heart with heavy warmth. Rong Jingxuan shook his hand lightly, but saw Xie Mingze's long sleeves shaking accordingly.

The golden color embroidery of dragon, dish and phoenix flying on the edge of the sleeve is shining brightly in the sun, very beautiful.

Because Xie Mingze was Da Chu's first appointment as a male empress, and the people in the Clothing Bureau couldn't find the dress regulations, and time was really tight, so they had to bite the bullet and invite the emperor.

Regarding the issue of Xie Mingze's dress, Rong Jingxuan was quite concerned. It was strange to say that it was obviously a very unwilling marriage, and he could still forget to eat and sleep just to check "Rong's Genealogy·Prince Volume".

In the end, Rong Jingxuan found out that although the emperors of all dynasties had never married a man, there was a prince who had a male princess.

The "Genealogy of the Rong Family" was not written by a historian, but was recorded by the royal family's own clan mansion. From the abolition of a crown prince to the birth of a prince, all sorts of royal events were recorded in the book.

Generally speaking, this book is mostly read by the order of the clan, so as to follow the old system when encountering things.

Rong Jingxuan had never read these hundreds of volumes of "Rong's Genealogy" before, but this time he had no choice but to ask the clerk of the clan's mansion and picked out a few to look up.

"Rong Family Genealogy" records that at that time the prince and the princess were married, and the auspicious clothes of the prince and concubine imitated the prince's auspicious clothes. The auspicious wishful knot on the book changed the five phoenix crowns to white jade crowns, and the rest of the books are no different.

This is quite ingenious. It not only confirms the identity of the princess, but also shows respect, which is very good.

Rong Jingxuan immediately arranged according to this old rule, but not everyone can wear the dragon robe, so Rong Jingxuan had to settle for the next best thing, and ordered the maid in Shangyi to use the prince's five-clawed dragon suit as the base, and replace the embroidery pattern Jackie Chan, Pan Fengxiang, set the emperor's lowest-standard purple jade crown as Xie Mingze's dress tiara, and felt relieved.

Now looking at Xie Mingze with his heart like this, he immediately understood why he was so caring at that time.

Because the two of them walked together wearing such auspicious clothes, they looked like a pair of lovers, and they couldn't be more suitable.

Rong Jingxuan silently suppressed the strange agitation in his heart, and steadily led Xie Mingze out of the main room.

Outside, there was no sign of Zhong Qi anymore.

The road was short, but it seemed very long. Through the cold paper fan, their long sleeves fell together, and their fingers seemed to intersect.

Not long after, the two came to the gate of the back house. Rong Jingxuan was about to lead Xie Mingze out of the house when he heard low voices behind him.

The man who always called him "Jingxuan" or "Your Highness" with a smile was telling him in an unusually firm tone: "Your Majesty, Ming Ze was born in the noble family of Da Chu. He is a citizen of Da Chu, and Mingze has been in love with His Majesty for many years, and he is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty. Your Majesty, Mingze will not feel humiliated by what happened today, and it is Mingze's duty to share his worries for His Majesty. Mingze is willing."

Willingly.

Rong Jingxuan thought about the decisive bright red figure in his memory, and the last sentence he left to himself, and really felt the meaning contained in these four words.

Even if a catastrophe strikes and he sacrifices himself to die, the last thing he thinks about is to tell himself to "survive".

Since entering Xie's house, Rong Jingxuan's tears finally flowed from his eyes after he had endured several times.

He turned his back to Xie Mingze, not wanting him to see his weakness.

In those years, he had already told himself that as the last royal family member of Da Chu, he could not be weak.Once he falls, the loyal ministers who have followed him and sacrificed their lives will lose their last confidence and belief.

Da Chu was gone, and he didn't want them to lose confidence and die miserably.

Rong Jingxuan took a deep breath, lowered his head and gently wiped away the teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes, then slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Mingze seriously.

Da Chu Zhongjing's eldest son, Xie Mingze, was capable of writing at the age of five and poetry at the age of seven. He not only has outstanding literary talents, but also has good martial arts. He is the most outstanding noble in Yong'an City.

He is tall and straight, handsome, with deep ocher eyes and plump lips. He is the wishful husband of Yongan's unmarried lady.

Such a person, but gave him to be the queen.

Rong Jingxuan He De He Neng, when he is willing to these four words.

Rong Jingxuan moved his dry lips, and finally responded in a low voice: "Ah Ze, thank you."

He didn't want to say thank you at first, but seeing the firmness in Xie Mingze's eyes, he still said it.

Although these two words are pale, they are also what he thinks in his heart, day and night.

After he finished speaking, he pulled Xie Mingze out of the inner house.

After going out, Rong Jingxuan took the initiative to let go of the hand holding the fan, and then signaled Xie Mingze to say goodbye to his parents.

Although the three present were not clear about it, Rong Jingxuan knew that once they parted at this moment, they would not know when they would see each other again.

He did not disturb Xie's family from the side, but went directly to the gate of the mansion, called Zhong Qi who was waiting here, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

When Xie Mingze came out with his parents, he saw two jade horses waiting at the door of the house, but the big horse that the queen should ride on for her wedding was nowhere to be seen.

Xie Mingze glanced at Rong Jingxuan with some doubts, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty...this is not in compliance with the rules."

But Rong Jingxuan smiled at the family of three, walked over and bowed to Xie Xiangxie's mother in person, then held the folding fan again, and said to the two elders: "Mrs. Xiangye, I will say goodbye to Mingze here. Then give a toast to the two elders at the palace banquet."

As the queen's parents, the two of them had to attend the palace banquet at night, if they didn't go, it would definitely cause other disturbances.

Rong Jingxuan had already made arrangements, he took Xie Mingze and walked two steps forward, first helped him onto the horse, and then turned to Xiang Xie and said, "Master Xiang, Xuan remembers that Master Xiang taught you on the winter solstice day of the 27th year of Yongyan. Xuan discusses policy, and Xuan still believes that the answer he made at that time was for the sake of superiority, so the Prime Minister should think more about it."

After leaving such a puzzling sentence, Rong Jingxuan nodded at Mrs. Xie, and then got on the horse directly.

Han Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, chanted loudly in front of him: "The emperor and empress are married, and drive back to the palace."

As his voice sounded, the long line began to move forward slowly.

Xie Mingze followed closely behind Rong Jingxuan, bowed his head and remained silent.

On the winter solstice of the 27th year of Yongyan, there were only him, his father and His Majesty in the imperial study.At that time, my father asked what His Majesty would do if his loyal ministers fell into the enemy's hands.

Xie Mingze still remembers that Rong Jingxuan, who was only ten years old at the time, replied: "Teacher, the ancients said that if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of lack of firewood. My courtiers in Dachu are all loyal ministers for the country and the people. I hope they can keep it no matter what. Your own life. Integrity is important, but there is only one life. They can come back alive, so why not the blessings of my people?"

Xie Mingze lowered his eyes, and after a while, he returned to normal.
