Chapter 865 864 [Broken Wings or Metamorphosis]

In a room on the east side of the courtyard.

Princess Qinghe dismissed the maid, turned around, walked to the cloisonné enamel smoke cage and sat down. Looking at Xu Churong's absent-minded face next to her, she hesitated to speak, and finally could only let out a soft sigh.

"Sister, I'm fine." Xu Churong said with a forced smile.

Princess Qinghe didn't know how many times she had persuaded her during this period, but Xu Churong was still unwilling to go home. She didn't know whether the girl next to her was heartbroken because of the incident in Jiangling, or she couldn't let go of her feelings for Pei Yue, or both.

.After hearing the news that the eldest prince of Beiliang would continue to fulfill the engagement, she no longer considered her situation and focused on persuading Xu Churong.

In any case, it will be difficult for her to find a stable and secure situation in the future if she goes north without any reason.

Princess Qinghe was filled with sorrow, but she did not dare to speak too harshly, so she could only say tactfully: "Chu Rong, I heard that the Marquis of Zhongshan left the city today to meet the daughter of the Gu family."

Xu Churong nodded and said, "Yes, he got engaged to Ye Gu at the beginning of the year, and the wedding date will be at the end of the year."

he?

Princess Qinghe had a wry smile on her face, and now she even changed her title, which showed that Xu Churong had already made up her mind.

Looking at the bitter smile on the face of the princess sister, Xu Churong immediately realized the problem, but she did not explain it deliberately, just said plainly: "Sister, Marquis Pei told me, what are the plans of those people in the south...

, he didn’t hide anything from me. I know that he has no such thoughts about me, and he already has many women in his heart, and there is no place for me.”

Princess Qinghe couldn't hide her shock, not only because of Xu Churong's indifference and directness at this moment, but also because of the hint of ominousness.

"Chu Rong, don't do anything stupid..."

"Sister, I'm not that fragile. I just feel that although Marquis Pei is an enemy, he is more upright than most people, which proves that my vision is not bad at all."

At this moment, Xu Churong didn't look like a sixteen-year-old girl, pouring out her thoughts openly. However, based on Princess Qinghe's understanding of her, what she wanted to express was definitely not a private matter of love between a man and a woman.

In fact, Princess Qinghe can completely understand the throbbing in Xu Churong's heart. If the grievances between Liang and Zhou are ignored, a young and promising man like Pei Yue would easily attract attention. Especially Xu Churong has seen many of his deeds with his own eyes, such as before

The peace talks between the two Koreas, the Sifang Pavilion war, the Donglin Cultural Conference, and even the war some time ago.

Xu Churong has a very high vision, and ordinary men cannot attract her attention. However, Pei Yue is so outstanding. In addition, she suffered the betrayal of her relatives outside Jiangling City. It is not unexpected that she fell into that kind of love. However, at this moment, her tone and expression

It was enough to show that she had some decisive thoughts in her mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Princess Qinghe said softly: "Churong, do you really plan to go to Beiliang Kyoto with him?"

Xu Churong shook his head and said with a strange expression: "Sister, Pei Yue is just a minister, and he can only marry two equal wives at most."

Princess Qinghe said: "Yes."

A sneer appeared on Xu Churong's face, and he said slowly: "He told me that my father wanted me to stay with him so that those noble families would have more room in the future. In fact, my father thought the same way. He couldn't always

The name of Xu family in Qinghe

Yi openly asked me to be Pei Yue's concubine, so that he and even the whole Xu family's face would not be saved. The only way is to let me follow Pei Yue unclearly like this, which will not affect the reputation of the Xu family in Qinghe, nor will it affect the reputation of the Xu family in Qinghe.

It can preserve a way out in the future.”

She paused and said extraordinarily calmly: "When the day comes when Beiliang captures the southern territory, Pei Yue will definitely have to give a good result to those southern clans. Who can make the daughter of the Xu family's daughter willing to follow him without shame?

"

Hearing the decisiveness in these words, Princess Qinghe was horrified and said in a trembling voice: "Churong, don't think so wildly. Lord Chief Assistant must not have such thoughts."

Xu Churong looked up at her and said with a sad smile: "Even if the Jiangling incident was a helpless move, the two dynasties have started peace talks again during this period. Why didn't he just send someone to take me back, just to make people feel painless?"

Pretending to be concerned?"

Princess Qinghe was speechless.

Xu Churong changed the subject and said: "Actually, I can understand my father's difficulties. For a family like the Xu family in Qinghe that has been passed down for thousands of years, compared to the future of the entire family, what does the fate of a mere woman mean? The pressure on my father

He is older than me, and there are many elders in the clan and the expectations of other clans are as heavy as a mountain. Even if he really loves my daughter, many things cannot be decided by his ideas."

Princess Qinghe couldn't help but think about her marriage. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to say: "In that case, you can follow me north. After arriving in Kyoto, Beiliang, I will personally find the Marquis of Zhongshan. I will find a good home for you no matter what."

Xu Churong held her hand, shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Sister, I have already thought about it, I can only send you here."

Princess Qinghe understood the meaning of this sentence, but she was not happy at all. Even if she was not good at guessing people's hearts, she could still realize that some terrible changes had happened to the girl.

"Churong, I...I'll write to Xu Shoufu right away."

"No need. After my sister leaves Puqi, I will return to Jian'an. Pei Yue personally promised not to embarrass me, and my father will not openly refuse my return. The Xu family in Qinghe must have some dignity."

Xu Churong smiled at her, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Even though the room was very warm, Princess Qinghe felt her heart was filled with chills.

She is a very gentle and kind person. Looking at the girl in front of her who seems to have matured overnight, she cannot say a single word of objection.

…

In the flower hall.

Taohua's crescent-like eyes seemed unable to open, her head bobbed up and down, her cheeks were already flushed, she would let out a charming laugh from time to time, and occasionally she would raise the wine cup and say: "Master, cheers!"

"

Pei Yue was not much better over there. Although he was not as drunk as Peach Blossom, his usually clear and calm eyes were full of drunkenness, and he laughed and said: "Cheers!"

The dishes on the table were not much moved, and there were only more than ten empty wine bottles.

Gu Zhen did not expect that it would be like this. What surprised her even more was that Pei Yue would rarely be as obsessed with getting drunk as he was tonight. She had heard from Gu Fan before that Pei Yue had a very good drinking capacity and rarely indulged himself.

.

"Sister Ye, is the banquet over here?" A worried look appeared on Gu Zhen's face.

Ye Qi looked at Pei Yue who kept pouring himself a drink and sighed: "Let him get drunk. In fact, he feels very uncomfortable."
