Chapter 170 Love at first sight
She could endure it better than most men... The pain in her heart and body could torture her to death every moment, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, desperately holding on to her sobriety, using her thin shoulders to hold on. The more he got along with Yun Luan, the more clearly he understood that she had a unique charm that other women did not have. Xiao Tingyan was the first to come to worship, and the entire General's Mansion was empty, as if in He sneered mercilessly, this was the desolation of a generation of loyal ministers who spent the blood of generations of descendants to protect their home and country until the end. He followed Yun Luan into the mourning hall. After the worship, he looked up at the empty and lonely place. The mourning hall. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Is no one coming to pay homage?"
Think of Yun Fu Qing, who was loyal to the king and the country, fought on the battlefield for many years, and guarded the subjects of the Southern Prefecture for decades. Now he died in such a tragic way, but those courtiers, because they were afraid of King Rui, were like quails and did not dare to come forward to worship him. .Every one of them is like a shrunken turtle, interpreting the selfishness and indifference of human nature vividly. It is really sad, lamentable, and ridiculous! There was a bit of ridicule in Yun Luan's eyes: "Maybe they are afraid of offending Prince Rui... "Xiao Tingyan hesitated, wanting to say something to comfort Yun Luan, but in the end he found that he didn't know what to say. The sister-in-law had already adjusted her state. She leaned over slightly and thanked Xiao Tingyan: "Thank you just now, Your Majesty. Help me and punish my vicious stepmother for me..." "If it hadn't been for the prince, I'm afraid my father would have continued to make trouble in the general's mansion."
Xiao Tingyan waved her hand: "Sister-in-law Yun, you don't have to be polite. We are all a family and we should help each other."
Family? The sister-in-law looked up at Xiao Tingyan with some surprise... Yun Qing also looked up with a look of horror on her face. Yun Luan was a little stunned. She subconsciously wanted to pull Xiao Tingyan's sleeve to ask him not to tell his family about the marriage for the time being. . Unexpectedly, Xiao Tingyan didn't seem to see her hint, and he replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Oh, I'm afraid you don't know, Sister Yun... Not long after Luan'er went to the border, I asked the emperor for a marriage decree. .Now, Luan'er is my king's fiancée and the future Princess Yan."
This news was like thunder on the ground, leaving the sister-in-law and Yun Qing stunned. Marriage? Luan'er? When did Xiaosi become so close to King Yan? How come they didn't know anything? What happened in the middle, such an earth-shattering event? ? They looked at Xiao Tingyan in disbelief, and then turned to look at Yun Luan. "Xiaosi, is this true?"
"Xiaosi, when did you meet the King of Banquets? And you actually got a marriage?"
Yun Luan was helpless and sighed. She was a little annoyed and glanced at Xiao Tingyan. Xiao Tingyan looked at Yun Luan with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong? You just hinted to me that you should hide it from us first. What does the engagement mean?”
Yun Luan stared at his bewildered face and was in a daze for a moment. Could it be that he didn't guess the meaning of her just hint? Forget it, considering that he didn't know, she forgave him! She lightly She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her sister-in-law and Yun Qing to explain: "This matter is a long story. It cannot be explained clearly in a few words..." Who knows, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Tingyan. "Actually, it's a long story. , I asked the emperor for the marriage without telling Luan'er. I didn't have much interaction with her before, but five years ago, by chance, I met Luan'er, and I have been in love with her ever since. She fell in love at first sight."
"I have been waiting for her to grow up. This year she is sixteen years old, and it is time to discuss marriage. In order to prevent it, someone cut her off, so I took the initiative and asked Luan'er for a favor without telling her. Luan'er was also kept in the dark about the marriage decree... She also didn't know about it. But the decree has been issued, and she can't resist it even if she doesn't want to..." The sister-in-law frowned with a look of suspicion on her face. Looking at Xiao Tingyan, Yun Qing was very frightened and could not suppress her excitement. She pulled Yun Luan's sleeves out of the mourning hall and walked to a corner. "Xiao Si, you really didn't reveal any information to us. .I'm really going to be scared to death by you...Why did you get married and become the Princess of Yan so suddenly?"
"King Yan... he should be ten years older than you. With such a big difference, there must be a big generation gap between you. He is too overbearing. Didn't he even tell you when he asked for marriage? "
Yun Qing couldn't help scolding Xiao Tingyan, and Yun Luan listened helplessly without saying a word. She really didn't know how to explain this matter. Originally, she didn't want to tell her family the news so early. Who She knew that Xiao Tingyan said it so suddenly. Moreover, what else did he say that he had admired her for a long time? He said that he fell in love with her at first sight five years ago? She felt that he was simply lying. Five years ago, She was only eleven years old, still a child, how could he fall in love with her at first sight? At that time, she was running to the military camp all day long, like a wild child, not at all like a girl. He was a 21-year-old boy, How did you fall in love with an eleven-year-old tomboy at first sight? Thinking about it, it seems impossible. Yun Luan collected her thoughts and could only sigh: "The ten-year age difference is not that big. Men are older. You should know how to care for others. If King Yan hadn’t taken care of you along the way, I might not have been able to safely escort so many corpses of the Yun Family Army back to Beijing."
"Moreover, it is precisely because of his help that I successfully cleared my father's grievances and saved the Yun family from the disaster of confiscating the house. The emperor's marriage grant is not a bad thing for us..." Yun Qing coughed in a low voice, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Old... old man, he really knows how to love people. This way, it's good... it's good."
"But I think it's better not to tell my mother about this news now. I'm afraid that she won't be able to bear the stimulation and her condition will get worse again."
After all, before, because Xiaosi was obsessed with Prince Rui, her mother was very afraid that Xiaosi would meet other men in the royal family. If her mother knew that Xiaosi was already the future Princess Yan, her mother would have to vomit blood. Yun Luan Naturally, she knew her mother's prejudice against the royal family. She nodded quickly: "Well, please ask the third sister and sister-in-law to keep this matter a secret for me."
Yun Qing turned her head and glanced at the other side of the mourning hall. She approached Yun Luan's ear mysteriously: "But Xiaosi, third sister, to be honest, this banquet king is really good-looking... He is really worthy of us. The most beautiful woman in Nanchu."
