After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

Young people's temper comes and goes quickly.

Ever since he came back from Lingnan Road, the little prince Yucheng has been tossing and turning, secretly regretting his behavior that day.After the rage passed, Xiao Yucheng, who gradually calmed down, also began to reflect on whether he was too abrupt that day.

Meng Xu's life experience is different from his. Meng Xu grew up with his grandmother, Empress Meng, and entered the family tree of the Meng family when he was seven or eight years old. Under the name of the family without descendants.

In name, he is the decent great-great-grandson of the Meng family, but in fact he is just an orphan with no family or reason.Both he and his biological parents were sacrificed for those ultimate powers.

So for a person like Meng Xu, he will desperately loyal to the emperor who gave him the opportunity, and will not hesitate to dedicate everything he can to the Lord, but at the same time he dare not face his own In my heart, I dare not go beyond the slightest bit.

Thinking of this little prince, I always want to hug that elder brother who grew up with him, and tell him that there is nothing to be afraid of with him in the future.

But whenever Yu Cheng really stood in front of Meng Xu, what he wanted to say would always be choked up by the word "Joking to win" in his heart.

Maybe Meng Xu didn't have him in his heart at all, maybe he was wrong from the beginning to the end.He is the heir apparent of the dynasty and the future master of the dynasty. He can't be entangled with a person who doesn't have him in his heart, otherwise what will be the face of the dynasty?

During this period of time, Meng Xu's life has not been easy.He couldn't forget the boy's cold eyes after that day. He knew that he was hated by the boy, so he could only hide as much as possible where the boy couldn't see him. .

The two have been ignoring each other like this, neither of them is willing to take a step forward.

The entire East Palace suddenly became cold and silent, and even the big white tiger in the backyard became depressed without the company of the two of them, and lost its appetite. The whole tiger lost a lot of weight.

Xiao Yucheng felt that he was the same as that white tiger, no matter how many soups stewed by Wu from Shanggong, it would not help.

In order to untie the knot with Meng Xu as soon as possible, Xiao Yucheng made a serious order, and arranged for Meng Xu, a good Donggong from the fourth-rank deacon general, to stay overnight in front of the Donggong bedroom.

The little prince's original intention was, since you are avoiding me, then I will bring you to my side. If you can't avoid it, you will naturally talk to me.But he seemed to have forgotten that the sudden removal of a young general like Meng Xu, who regarded his military service as his life, to the post of bodyguard meant a harsher punishment than prison.

Xiao Yucheng didn't understand why Meng Xu still refused to talk to him even though he had called Meng Xu back to his side?

Maybe he really didn't like himself, and he took care of himself when he was young just to repay his father, Gu Xiu, for his kindness?

But at such a moment, among the brothers, the king of Hengjun who is the closest to Xiao Yucheng is busy all day conferring titles, establishing a mansion, and preparing for the wedding ceremony, and has no time to help his good brother analyze the situation.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.Without the mediation of the middleman, the two players in the game can only let the bad feelings in each other's hearts spread and grow everywhere, and eventually become an indelible mess.

In the middle of the night, two people who have their own concerns lean on each other through a door, thinking about each other, but neither of them wants to talk to the other first, and neither of them wants to look at the other.Turning around, each of them carried two balls of black clouds sinking in front of their eyes, and continued to alienate each other coldly.

***

The awkward atmosphere between the two stubborn bulls, Yu Cheng and Meng Xu, remained stalemate until the next year's Huachao Festival.

Zaisheng eight years, the second day of February.

On the day of the Huachao Festival, a hundred flowers bloomed in Bianjing.There are garlands distributed by the Secretary of the Internal Government in front of each merchant. Some large merchants even put flowers and plants on the plaques and decorate the stairs with flowers in order to meet the occasion.

In the market, you can see a hawker selling flower crowns every ten steps, and there are many small stalls selling things for daughters in the market out of thin air. People’s families also choose to take their daughters out for fun on this day. On this day, the entire city of Bianjing was filled with the unique sweet fragrance of a little daughter.

Inside Miyagi is completely new.

For the Flower Festival this time, the emperor had long ago decreed that all the halls and pavilions in the palace except the Hanyuan Hall should be decorated with hundreds of flowers.

The famous species of peonies that Prince Ning Yi Gu You cultivated in the suburbs of Beijing in the year when the little princess Gu Xican was born were also moved into the imperial garden in the palace. Today, it is only for the little princess to pick at will.

There are flower boats floating on the waterway in the imperial garden, and the hull is covered with light gauze. In the boat stands Le Niang who came from a long way from Suzhou, playing the zither, playing the zither, playing the zither, or playing the harp. The sound of fine music comes from the waterway, and with the breeze, it is particularly refreshing.

Clan relatives, wives, and foreign officials who traveled far away to Beijing gathered here with their underage daughters. The girls wore various flower crowns on their heads, and the makeup on their cheeks was also decorated with flower petals. .

The little princess Gu Xican wore a pink palace dress embroidered with silver silk, with a light brocade velvet corolla on her head and an ivory pearl pendant on her chest. She sat obediently on Princess Qingzhao's lap, surrounded by hundreds of flowers. The guy also looks more and more cute.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor and Taifu Han set foot on the waterway side by side, and decreed that all the wives and clan relatives should not kneel down and worship, and go to their own entertainment.

These two people did not wear official uniforms today, but wore two wide-sleeved blouses of the same standard, both of which were tied with silver crowns. The only difference was that the blouses worn by the emperor were ivory white, while those of Han Taifu It is moon white.

The silver and white uniform softened the king Gu Xiusu's cold and firm eyes, and he and Taifu Han walked together among the flowers, and they complemented each other indescribably.

Everyone knows that Gu Xiu, the emperor of the current dynasty, doesn't like the hustle and bustle of banquets first, and the fragrance of flowers and makeup second. If it wasn't for handkerchiefs for this hard-won little princess Gu Xican today, he would definitely not like it. Maybe sitting in the middle of such a large pile of flowers listening to music and having a feast.

This is the second time the Flower Festival has been held in the palace since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first time was when Princess Qingzhao Gu Jin was six years old.That year was the first year when the late Emperor Gu Hong became stable in the internal affairs. Among the wives, some elders whispered and compared the two Flower Festival feasts with each other. The Flower Festival at that time was not as good as this one or two.

At the Huachao Festival banquet, the little princess Gu Xican was extremely happy.

This is the first time she has seen so many girls of her age. From her birth to now, he is surrounded by those brothers who are much older than her. Those brothers can't comb their hair or sing. She doesn't know how to make a rabbit out of a handkerchief, and her brothers' thin and short hair can't fit pearl hairpins at all. She took a box of dolls from Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou and asked her brothers to play with her, but her brothers would only hold the dolls, like Kaichao Hui usually said a bunch of strange words that she couldn't understand at all.

Whenever the brothers saw her, they would definitely hug her, and never allowed any outsiders to get too close to her. Even Yu Han, the younger brother who had just learned how to walk, knew how to protect her in the future.

Today, it is rare that there are no elder brothers who are fierce to outsiders by her side.She took out another box of dolls and distributed them to the girls around her. They sat together on the open space covered with soft silk, eating candied desserts and drinking sweet and delicious soup, happily. Singing songs to give hairpins to dolls.

The king, who saw this scene not far away, covered his mouth and nose slightly, and said to the people around him: "If I had known that this would make this child so happy, I would have let these children enter the palace early in the morning."

"Your Majesty can't stand it for just a moment. If you let these ladies from the clan enter the palace early in the morning, I'm afraid Your Majesty will have a short life." Han Mochu said and took out a small box of moxa ointment from his cuff, and handed it to Gu Xiubi. He said: "Your Majesty, you should wake up first, otherwise you will feel dizzy soon."

Gu Xiu took the vial of moxa ointment and placed it under his nose, gently lifting the nostrils, a burst of bitter fragrance penetrated into the nasal cavity, instantly awakening the seven orifices of the person.After waking up, he took advantage of the situation to look towards the opposite side, and happened to see the little prince who was standing opposite him: "Hiss, Ziran, look, what is that child Yucheng doing?"

Han Mochu looked in the direction of Gu Xiu's finger, and saw a few tables of running water mats in a few open water pavilions along the opposite bank of the river, a large group of teenagers of the same age were chatting and laughing in twos and threes, only their son Gu Yucheng put his hands together Leaning on the railing, he was absent-minded and sullen: "Don't His Majesty know? This child has been like this for several months."

"A few months? How come I don't know? I didn't see him like this in the previous court." Father Gu Xiu sat upright, but his head was clearly turned in the direction of Han Mochu.

"Your Majesty has always been a strict father, and all he sees in his eyes are military and state affairs, so naturally he can't see what is in this child's heart." Han Mochu smiled, picked up an eight-petal peony cake from the plate, and brought it to Gu Xiu's lips .

"What's on your mind? What's on your mind? I haven't done much homework with him these days, so why should he be so preoccupied?" Gu Xiu took a bite of the pastry shell and asked in confusion.

"Is Your Majesty not worried at Yu Cheng's age?" Han Mochu slightly raised his eyebrows, "For example, what about the little fox that is placed next to him?"

Gu Xiu was touched by the word "little fox", and he choked up before taking a mouthful of sweet snacks: "Ahem, cough, cough...speaking of Yucheng in a good way, you are talking about it for no reason. What am I doing?"

"I just want to tell Your Majesty that your Majesty's thoughts are the same as your Majesty's at that time. After all, he has reached his age and is no longer a child." Han Mochu patted Gu Xiu on the back very caringly, and handed him another cup. Qingcha gargles the mouth: "Your Majesty often wishes to hold his subjects tightly in his arms and wipe them off when he is in daily life. Why does he blush so much when he mentions this old thing?"

"This, this is different." Gu Chu took a sip of the fragrant tea and said calmly, "Let's talk about Yucheng first, Ziran knows why this child is so depressed?"

"What did your majesty say? Besides that little general Meng, who else could this child be because of?" Han Mochu stroked the folds of his clothes and sighed softly: "The son raised by your majesty is very similar to your majesty everywhere, except for a little bit. Your elder brother, His Highness King Ning."

"Zi Ran, explain more clearly? How does that kid look like Sixth Brother?"

"When you see someone you like, you don't care what other people think. If you throw yourself on someone and don't care about it, you will take that person as your own." Han Mochu said bluntly, "That's why I asked your highness to know about this love affair." You can’t force it, sometimes there is a wall between mutual affection and wishful thinking.”

***

On the other side, the little prince stood leaning on the railing of the water pavilion and looked into the distance with a heavy heart. Several younger brothers who were close to him came to call him a few times, but he just waved his hand and rejected everyone's invitation.

More than half a month ago, his Asian father, Han Mochu, transferred Meng Xu back to Wang Shi's barracks without warning, saying that there were too many new recruits at the beginning of the new year, and some experienced generals were needed to go to the new barracks to take charge of the overall situation.Although it was only a secondment in name, the return date was uncertain, and he had no excuse to make Han Mochu return Meng Xu and him.

For more than half a month, he has been tossing and turning in the East Palace in a daze, and when he closes his eyes, he can recall the scenes of Meng Xu covering him with a quilt, riding with him on a horse, and teaching him how to practice a gun. under the shadow.

In the loneliness of being alone, he regretted it, he really regretted it, regretted his recklessness that day, and regretted neglecting Meng Xu for so long.He clearly knew that he was wrong, but he didn't know what he was still awkward about.

Now that this person is gone, everything has become so at a loss, let alone speak clearly, there is no suitable reason for wanting to see him now.

During this period of time, he has always been distracted from time to time, no matter how busy he is with the official documents assigned by Junfu Gu Xiu, he always feels that he can't fill himself.It doesn't matter what time of night, as long as I think of it, I will run to the backyard to see the big white tiger Bairong they raised together, and only Bairong is willing to listen to him talk about the trivial past between him and Meng Xu.

Tired of standing, the 15-year-old boy sat slumped on the platform in the water pavilion, propped his chin and thought to himself: If Meng Xu can appear in front of him now, he will never quarrel with him again. The words are all overthrown.

He liked Meng Xu and would continue to like it as always, but if Meng Xu refused to respond for a while, he was willing to wait until he was willing to respond.

It's a pity that Meng Xu is not here now, and he wanted to say what he was holding back, but he couldn't find a way to vent it.

Xiao Yucheng sighed, and turned his erratic eyes to another direction. With just one glance, he stood up with a "chuckle" and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Walking through the curved corridor on the west slope was a figure he was very familiar with, wearing a light blue spring suit and wearing a square pendant around his waist.

It's Meng Xu, he's here, he's really here.

That's right, all the children of Youjue's family have arrived at the Huachao Festival banquet today.Meng Xu is a descendant of Duke Ding's Meng family, so naturally he will not be absent.

Yucheng stretched his neck, watching eagerly the elder brother Yurong whom he had been thinking about day and night approaching him, he couldn't help but go around the crowd and walked towards the opposite direction.

There is an old saying: "One day is like three autumns."

He always felt that he hadn't seen Meng Xu for more than ten years now, and if he didn't see each other or talk to him again, he would really drive himself crazy.

"Brother Yurong! Long time no see." A girl in a long water-green dress appeared suddenly, standing between the two of them, blocking Meng Xu's vision of him.

Yu Cheng's footsteps were stopped by this girl who appeared out of nowhere, he stood there in a dilemma, watched helplessly as the cute girl stood in front of Meng Xu with a smile, and patted Meng Xu's shoulder with his feet.

He didn't know that girl, and he had never heard Meng Xu mention it. Why was she so close to Meng Xu?

"Yes, long time no see. Is your mother okay?" Meng Xu stood still, smiled and saluted the girl.

"Mother and aunts are over there. Brother Yurong, do you want to go over and have a word? Mother told aunts about you a few days ago." The girl said kindly through Meng Xu's sleeve robe.

Speaking of the relationship between Meng Xu and this girl, it is actually not complicated. Strictly speaking, she is Meng Xu's righteous sister.

A long time ago, Meng Xu, who had just been included in the Meng family's ancestral hall from Master Huining, lived under the lap of the girl's mother for a period of time. Always be grateful.

Today, the girl and Meng Xu met here by chance, so Meng Xu naturally had to pay homage to the former adoptive mother.

Meng Xu was dragged by the girl and turned to another direction. At this moment, Xiao Yucheng's eyes suddenly became hot and his mouth felt sour, and he even felt a little bit wronged. He was obviously just one step away from reconciling with Meng Xu.How could there be such an inappropriate woman at this time?

He was about to ask the past directly, but was stopped by a kind voice: "Oh, your highness, you are here, the empress dowager is looking for you in a hurry."

Xiao Yucheng turned his head and saw Aunt Biyun, the personal maid next to the noble concubine Jin, bypassing his frolicking brothers and walking slowly towards him.

"Aunt Biyun." Xiao Yucheng cheered up and called out: "The emperor's grandmother is in such a hurry, why are you calling me?"

"It's a good thing for the imperial concubine to find you. The crown prince will know when he goes down." Biyun supported Xiao Yucheng's shoulders, turned the man around and walked towards the little flower hall where the golden concubine was. .

***

Concubine Li's small banquet in the flower hall was held in a warm and quiet open space in the southeast corner of the imperial garden.

Mrs. Jin was wearing a vermilion phoenix feather palace attire, leaning on the main seat, leaning against the main seat. Concubine Zhou, Princess Yucheng, Princess Kang Sheng, and several other wives of comparable rank were at the side. There are many fragrant tea fruits and candied desserts on the table.There are two round tables in the shrubs and flowers opposite to where the chief seat is sitting. In front of the tables are sixteen clan ladies sitting neatly, with their bodies straightened up and their shoulders raised. Knowing that today is the turning point of their fate, it is impossible to say which one of them will be able to fly on the branches.

The girls attending the banquet were all recommended by the court wives to the Jin family concubine.There were originally more than [-] people. Concubine Jin made a rough selection before today, filtering out those with bad looks and personalities. The rest are those who are consciously gentle, reasonable and considerate in Concubine Jin’s mind. Children, it is most suitable to accompany her precious grandson to take care of daily life.

Xiao Yucheng, who was brought here by Biyun, was naturally confused when he saw this group of well-dressed girls, so he had to bow to the Jin family first, and then asked: "Grandmother, what do you mean?"

"Stupid child, your brother Heng is married right now." Jin took Yucheng's arm to make someone sit beside her, and pointed at the girls who were dressed up opposite and more beautiful than Chunhua: " It's time for you to choose a girl to take care of you in your East Palace."

"This... grandson..." The little prince was in a turmoil at this moment, unable to concentrate at all, his mind was full of the scene of Meng Xu being dragged away by that girl, so he could only wave his hands and say: "The grandson is still young, and besides, the emperor has assigned a lot of government affairs to the grandson recently, I'm afraid there is no time..."

"You child, why are government affairs not government affairs? You are not allowed to learn from your father and let your grandmother worry about it for so many years." Concubine Li lovingly stroked Xiao Yucheng's forehead: "The emperor's grandmother has the final say on this matter, you The royal father can't control it."

"But, Grandmother, grandson just saw them for the first time today, how can..." Xiao Yucheng frowned, searching for an excuse to reject Jin.

"Yes, yes, the imperial grandmother knows that Cheng'er is seeing them for the first time, so she asks Cheng'er to see who is close to her." Jin patted the back of Yu Cheng's hand: "Besides, grandma doesn't need you to like them too much. , I just want more caring people to take care of your diet and daily life, and talk to you when you are bored in daily life."

"Like, like Aunt Wu?" Xiao Yucheng asked sincerely.

"Hi, you child." Mrs. Jin covered her lips with a handkerchief, and the other wives couldn't help laughing at the little prince's words: "What Aunt Wu, you are really just like your father. Go quickly , go over to see if there is anyone you like, how can you see it clearly when you sit here in this palace."

Xiao Yucheng, who was full of innocence, was half-led and half-pushed by Biyun, who was also suppressing a smile, and sent the little prince to the group of girls. The girls stood up lightly, bowed down again, and the little prince subconsciously backed away in shock. After two steps, he turned around and looked at Jin Shi as if asking for help.

Unexpectedly, Jin was afraid of his embarrassment, so she turned her head to talk to Zhou and the others without looking at him at all.

Just when the little prince was hesitating and at a loss, two people who wanted to hide from the lively palace banquet escaped.

They were a man and a woman, the woman was wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, and the man was wearing a water-green spring suit, talking and laughing side by side.

The panic in Gu Yucheng's heart was dominated by this strong sourness, he couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, he could only see that they were chatting very speculatively at the moment, and Meng Xu's smile was just like the first time he was young. It was as clear as the first time I saw it on the school field.

Thinking of all the past, Gu Yucheng only felt that he was a pitiful person through and through.Meng Xu didn't like him, and it was impossible to like him at all.What Meng Xu likes is a woman, a woman who is about the same age as him.

And they are just monarchs and ministers.At most, compared with ordinary monarchs and ministers, they have two more friendships from childhood.

Everything was his wishful thinking, he always thought that he liked Meng Xu, just like his father liked his sub-father.

But Meng Xu is not his sub-father, and there has never been a deep friendship between them like his father and sub-father.

That being the case, why should he trap himself in such an unsolvable mess?

Meng Xu and the woman got closer and closer, saying that the laughter had gradually become clearer, and his eyes would occasionally glance in his direction.

Gu Yucheng sighed deeply, waiting for a precise moment, waiting for a moment that could end all this completely.

Meng Xu and the girl walked to a position close to him, and finally stood still.

Talking and laughing stopped abruptly.

The moment he was sure that Meng Xu was really looking at him, he grabbed a girl's wrist from the girl group without hesitation, and said solemnly to Princess Jin: "Grandmother!" , the grandson wants her."

The chosen girl was taken aback for a moment, then she lowered her head with blushing cheeks, and let the clear and dignified boy hold her wrist without moving.

Concubine Jin, who didn't know why, didn't have time to get to the bottom of it. She looked at Concubine Zhou, who had been smiling apologetically by her side, and said comfortingly, "Yes, yes, this is grandma's good grandson."

"My concubine, congratulations to the noble concubine, and congratulations to your highness the crown prince." Seeing this situation, several wives who were sitting next to him bowed down one after another, without any loss of etiquette.

The Royal Concubine Jin did not expect that today she just wanted to show off to his precious grandson. She didn't want this child to really choose a suitable one. She will go to discuss with Princess Qingzhao in two days, right? This child should be given the title of side concubine.

Concubine Zhou did not expect that the girl her brother forced her to help her find a future would actually have a fortune, and she would have more confidence in spending the real money that was given to her.

Gu Yucheng never thought that he would choose a woman on an occasion like today, let alone that this woman would become the decision he regretted the most in his life in the future.
