Chapter 50: Willingness will eventually come to an end
It turned out that Luo Yu had caught wind and cold when he left Gongyuan, and he had a high fever for three days before he got better. Later, a fellow countryman invited him to a banquet, but Luo Yu refused and went to drink again. As a result, he fell ill for several days in a row, and it was not until the eve of the release of the results that his health began to slow down.
Getting better slowly.
Luo Yu had been ill for half a month and was very thin. He just didn't dare to see Meng Ying, for fear that Meng Ying would think that he was too ambitious and alienate him. He only asked Xiao Shan to bring a letter, using the excuse of traveling with friends, and he would return soon. p>
Meng Ying believed it to be true and did not investigate further.
Until the day when the results were released, Hongying sent the concierge to watch under the results early in the morning. If it was Luo Yu High School, she would come back to report the good news.
It was almost noon when the concierge ran in and said, "Miss Hongying, I'm hit, Mr. Luo is hit."
"Where did you win?" Hongying asked excitedly.
Hearing the concierge's voice, Meng Ying also paused her pen, and a large drop of ink fell onto the paper.
"First A and Fourth!"
Meng Ying was happy to hear that Luo Yu was in the first class of high school and ranked fourth. She was also happy for Luo Yu. He had been studying hard for more than ten years and was waiting for today. If the imperial examination goes well, there is always a chance to get a half-official position.
of.
Luo Yu, who is in high school, has more banquets, but even if he cannot escape to Meng's house, he will write to Meng Ying and tell interesting things during the dinner.
Meng Ying would laugh out loud when she read something interesting, causing Hongying to pout.
The palace examination takes place on the first day of March.
Luo Yu arrived at the main hall, and his answers were measured and respectful. Emperor Wu personally recommended Luo Yu to be the third in the palace examination, and Luo Yu became the courtier.
Hearing that Luo Yu was a prostitute, behind the beaded curtain in the main hall, there was a woman in rich clothes, and she also curled up her lips.
This person is none other than Emperor Wu’s youngest sister, Princess Chaohua.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother next to her had a plan in her mind. She pointed her finger on her daughter's forehead and said, "Is this person satisfied?"
Princess Chao Hua nodded shyly.

After the palace examination, soldiers beat gongs and drums to clear the way, with the number one winner in front, followed closely by the number two and top pick, dressed in red and colorful, riding horses and paraded through the streets, it was a truly unparalleled scene.
Meng Ying also hid in the crowd, watching Luo Yu with a springy face, and bowed to the people on both sides. Meng Ying didn't like to be public, but when she saw Luo Yu walked away, Hongying couldn't help it. She moved toward Luo Yu on the horse.
He waved his hands and shouted, "Master Luo, we are here!"
When Luo Yu heard Hongying's voice, he turned around sharply and saw Meng Ying in the crowd at a glance. Their eyes met, Meng Ying smiled slightly, while Luo Yu turned away like a fire and urged his horse forward. Hongying asked in confusion, "What happened to Mr. Luo today? Didn't he see us? Why did he turn his head?"
Meng Ying sneered and said to Hongying: "Let's go."
Hongying walked behind Meng Ying, still mumbling, "I couldn't drive away in the past. Why is it so strange today that I hid and walked away like that? If Mr. Luo comes back again, I will definitely question him."
Ichiban."
Meng Ying suddenly stopped. Hongying, who was walking behind her with her head lowered, almost bumped into her.
"He will never come again, don't mention him again!"
Hongying's sudden change of attitude left her stunned.
After a long while, Hongying finally figured out the meaning of this sentence. No wonder she turned around and left. It turned out to be a bad idea.
Hongying spat at the parade, and cursed bitterly: "Sure enough, the most heartless is the scholar, the fool who is chasing Qin Muchu..."
As Meng Ying said, Luo Yu never set foot in Meng's house again. He just secretly looked at Meng Ying's carriage on her daily route, but Meng Ying never raised the curtain to look at her carriage. Half a month later, the emperor issued a decree for the marriage of Princess Chaohua and the concubine Luo Yu, and they decided to get married two months later.
It turned out that after the imperial examination that day, Luo Yu was taken to the harem by the eunuch and summoned by the Queen Mother.
The old eunuch sent Xiang out of the palace and laid out the pros and cons. If he is not a princess, he will be a minor official of the eighth rank. Whether he can enter the capital again in this life is unpredictable; if he becomes the princess's consort, he can rise to the top.
, the glory of the family and the glory of the rest of life are all tied to this, it can be said that you can reach the sky in one step.
Although he loves power, he also knows that if a princess becomes his daughter-in-law, she is an ancestor, and she will support her in everything she needs. It will be difficult for her future husband to support her.
On the night when the imperial edict of marriage was issued, Luo Yu drank some wine. Perhaps he was relying on the strength of the wine to think of Meng Ying's good fortune; or perhaps it was because Meng Ying withdrew too quickly and he felt unwilling to do so.
My original intention was to go out and evacuate, but I didn't want to leave the door. Unknowingly, I walked to Meng's house again. By some mistake, I rang the door knocker.
The concierge had already been told not to open the door for him.
But after knocking for a long time, Hongying was afraid of causing gossip, so she said to Luo Yu through the door: "Tanhua Lang was drunk and went to the wrong door. Our small family cannot afford to hire a great person like you. Please give me a favor."
You have a high platform and noble feet, so don’t pollute the soil in front of my house!”
Luo Yu knew that with Hongying's fierce personality, he would inevitably be scolded. He begged in a low voice: "Miss Hongying, listen to me, I just want to say one thing to Miss Meng, just one thing, please."
, please come out, girls!"
Hongying was furious and said: "This is really a big joke. Our girl's friendship with you is just a nod. Your face is not enough. Please go back. If you continue to pester me, I don't care if you are a top pick or a loser."
Hua, I guarantee that your head will blossom!"
"Miss Hongying, I won't leave if I can't see Miss Meng today!" Come on, Luo Yu actually sat on the ground, as if he vowed not to leave until he achieved his goal.
"You..."
Through the door panel, Hong Ying's words were spoken in an angry tone. Even though he couldn't see what was going on outside, he could still guess that Luo Yu was here.
In the dead of night, sounds can travel far. If gossip spreads among the neighbors, how will the girl get married in the future?
Hongying was wandering at the door, thinking about countermeasures. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw that it was Qinghe who was holding a lantern and helping Meng Ying out.
Meng Ying woke up from her sleep, put on the soft shoes in the inner room and put on a turban and came out.
"Girl, why are you out here!" Hongying shook her head at Meng Ying, trying to stop Meng Ying back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Meng Ying waved her hand towards her, signaling her to stop talking.
Hongying was worried that she would catch a cold, so she went to get a cloak.
When Luo Yu heard the noise, he stood up suddenly, put his mouth close to the crack of the door, and said: "Miss Meng, it's you who are here, right? I, Luo Yu, can't help you, I..."
The words were interrupted by Meng Ying, "Stop talking, Mr. Luo, you have nothing to do with me. Although we are from the same hometown, we have always been casual acquaintances. Now that I heard that Mr. Luo has found a beloved, he has become your consort. Meng Ying
Here I congratulate you on your high profile, and I will send you a small gift to the young master’s house when you come."
Meng Ying's words completely eliminated the relationship between the two, which made Luo Yu, who was filled with guilt, suddenly not know how to answer the question.
Luo Yu felt disappointed and unwilling in his heart. After a while, he said: "No matter how much the girl gives you, can this be considered a casual acquaintance?"
Meng Ying replied: "The items I gave to Mr. Luo were all ordinary items made by the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop, and they were also given to other fellow villagers in Qingzhou. It was just that I felt that we were taking care of each other outside, and there was no other meaning.
, please don’t think too much, Mr. Luo.”
After hearing these words, Luo Yu's head buzzed. Other villagers were also involved? Did he really think too much? No, he didn't believe it. There were also cold clothes and snacks...
"Miss Meng, I know you are talking angrily, but I have my own reasons, so please..."
Through a door, Meng Ying's voice slowly came, "Young Master Luo may have misunderstood you all this time. I have no love for you, and I will never have any in the future. Please don't get involved in this matter."
/p>
For the sake of her fellow countrymen, the little girl gave Mr. Luo a message: The wind and rain will eventually dissipate, and the mountains and seas will have their own return dates. No matter how hard it is, the will will eventually be leveled, and the feelings will eventually be willing. In the name of a passerby, I wish you a bright future.
Jin, Changle and peace."
After Meng Ying said that, she took Qing He and turned around and entered the inner room.
Hongying was at the door and said loudly: "Our girl has finished speaking. Mr. Luo, please leave quickly and don't disturb her purity."
After saying that, he turned around and walked around the screen wall and entered the side room.
Luo Yu slid down against the door panel outside the door. After a long while, he walked back like a zombie with the help of Xiao Shan.
Luo Yu said to himself: "It turns out that she understands that no matter how difficult it is to make peace with one's will, it will eventually be reconciled, and one's feelings will eventually be reconciled." There is not a word of resentment, but every word is heartbreaking." p>
Luo Yu thought that by coming here in the middle of the night, he could deceive others, but little did he know that every move he made, even his outings every few hours, were being recorded and reported to the palace.
The next morning, the eldest princess of Chaohua wore a floor-length dress and served the queen mother for breakfast. As soon as the palace maid served her a cup of fragrant tea, she listened to the maid describing word by word what the guards outside were "protecting" the consort.
.
After hearing the words "If you don't like it, you will eventually be willing to do it." The eldest princess finally couldn't bear it anymore. The tea bowl flew out of her hand and hit the maid on the forehead. She cursed: "Shut up, stop talking!"
The exquisite Ru porcelain was shattered at the sound, and the maid knelt on the ground crying and begging for mercy: "Elder Princess, have mercy on me..."
Princess Chaohua leaned back on her chair and cursed angrily: "What a little bitch. I am the noble princess, the emperor's biological sister! I chose the consort, and it's not her turn to criticize her."
Chaohua was so angry that he beat the palace people in the palace, threw things to vent his anger, and even made trouble with the Queen Mother. He went out of the palace to find Meng Ying and Luo Yu to argue.
Luo Yu, who drank a few more sips of the yellow soup, spent the whole night making a fuss, and finally woke up today. He laughed at himself for being stupid, and Miss Meng smiled more at him, and felt that she was in love with him, but he didn't know that he just had unrequited love.<
/p>
He made a fuss in the middle of the night to plead guilty, but who knew that the half of friendship he had for me would be gone as soon as he said no.
Miss Meng is like the moonlight in the sky. She feels cold even when it shines on her body. But when a cloud comes, the light is reluctant to shine on her body.
After all, she and herself are destined to be together!
In any case, the deal is done. He is the consort who has been given a marriage. If the palace finds out, there will be a lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Luo Yu decided to thank the guests behind closed doors, gather his thoughts, and spend all his thoughts on the wedding in two months.
The elders at home write letters home, and guests and friends from all walks of life write invitations.
And Meng Ying, who was in the embroidery workshop, had no idea that a disaster was coming!
