MTL - After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother-Chapter 52

The guests in the front yard have dispersed, and the red lanterns are hung all over the porch, like a remnant of joy. It's just that except for the candles, there is no other difference.

The more you walk into the mansion, the more you can feel the coldness that you can't see. Silent high walls and tree shadows, silent and silent. Even though the spring is dark and green at this time, it makes people feel dry.

In the huge mansion, there are few masters and few servants, so it looks extremely empty. The trees that grow wantonly form a shady forest, becoming more and more chaotic in the night. However, where the winding paths lead to secluded places, there are unexpected beautiful scenery.

A thin man walked slowly from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard. He walked a little anxiously, as if he wanted to avoid someone, or as if he was going to meet someone. The dark light from the tree shadows passed over him, mottled his facial features and blurred his expression.

Suddenly a black figure appeared, respectfully but firmly blocking his way.

"My lord, please stop."

It turned out that this person was Wen Guogong.

Wen Guogong stopped and looked at the black-clothed guard with his hands behind his back.

"Step aside."

"The king of the county has an order that idlers are not allowed to approach the pear garden."

In recent years, the Princess Mansion has almost never held a banquet to entertain guests. Today's wedding can be said to be the first time since the completion of the Princess Mansion. But the guests only entered the outer courtyard, and no one dared to set foot in the forbidden area of ​​the inner courtyard.

The Liyuan is a forbidden area of ​​the Princess Mansion, except Consort Wen and Wen Yu and his son, no one else can enter. This rule is not only known to the servants in the mansion, but also to outsiders.

It is impossible for Wen Guogong not to know, if not, he would not come here in private.

"I am the uncle of the county king."

He is also the brother-in-law's brother.

But he will not say this sentence, because the word son-in-law is his taboo.

"The county king has an order that no one is allowed to enter except the son-in-law."

The black-clothed guard refused to give way, still blocking the middle of the road.

Wen Guogong looked in the direction of the pear orchard with dark eyes.

It's the son-in-law again.

This title should have been his.

They can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, he is the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, and Li'er is the first princess born of the former empress. Court disputes and worldly entanglements never separated them. Even if it was Gong Wei's calculations, the passage of time had never shaken his love for Li'er.

He waited, guarded, and never regretted his original intention.

Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, Li'er said that she would retire after her meritorious service. She also said that she would be a good wife from now on and get along with him day and night to have children.

How happy he was at that time, he couldn't wait to tell his mother that he was going to get married.

His mother was noncommittal, and he thought it was tacit approval. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, there was a woman sleeping beside him. That woman is none other than the eldest daughter of the royal family who he regards as a junior.

He knew in his heart that he was plotted by his mother.

The mother likes the eldest daughter of the Wang family, and has mentioned it more than once. He thought that everyone knew about him and Li'er, and that his mother's selfishness was just wishful thinking, but he didn't think that his mother would do that.

The Wang family is talented and famous. After the accident, he didn't cry or make noise, but blamed himself for his negligence. The Wang family has the ancestral precept that women should not be concubines. As the eldest daughter of the direct line, it is even more impossible for Wang to bow down to be a concubine.

His mother appeared in due course and forced him to marry Wang. Wang disagreed, saying that she could not separate herself and Li'er, and that she would conceal the matter.

He was extremely remorseful at the time, fearing that he would lose Li'er. He thought that if Mrs. Wang didn't tell her, maybe he could keep this matter a secret, and no one would drive a wedge between him and Li'er.

However, he forgot that his mother took so much effort to make arrangements, how could she give up halfway.

Li'er finally found out, and she didn't cry or make trouble.

At first he was terrified, but after the terrified, he blamed himself and repented, and felt ashamed in front of Li'er. He thought that since he had waited for many years, Li'er would ignore the past. He thought that their affection was so deep that they could resist all variables in the world. But later Li'er told him that the fate between them was over, so he asked him to marry Wang. After that, no matter how much he begged, Li'er made up his mind.

During those days, he was in a daze. In the end, he obeyed his mother's arrangement and married Wang. Unexpectedly, less than three days after his marriage, the news of his younger brother Shangzhu spread.

He didn't understand why it was his younger brother Wen Hua?

He didn't even understand why years of feelings were no match for a calculation?

He is in pain because he only has Li'er in his heart. He was sad because he felt that Li'er didn't really love him. There are many men in the world who marry concubines, and his skin-to-skin relationship with Wang is not voluntary, why does Li'er not allow it?

He even thought dejectedly, maybe for Li'er, he is just someone who can be used. On the day when he is useless, even if there is no such thing, he may be an abandoned child.

He once thought angrily, it's better to be different.

The heartless person is Li'er, not him.

He thought that as the days went by, the one who regretted it must be Li'er. But he didn't wait for that day, what he waited for was the sad news of Li'er's death.

They used to know each other so well, but in the end they were yin and yang. Thinking back to Li'er's last days, they had never met or spoken a word.

Every year in the future, he will not live in regret for a single day. Even though yearning is like crazy grass, he is not even qualified to worship Li'er. What stood in front of him was more than just a bodyguard, that was the chasm of ethics in the world, and also the natural moat of human dignity.

"If I insist on breaking in, what should you do?"

"Does the Duke want to force his way in?" An angry voice sounded, and a woman with a blue beanie came from the darkness, holding a plate of sacrificial fruits in her hand.

Wen Guogong squinted his eyes and recognized the woman.

"Ten Brocade?"

"It's hard to be the Duke of the country, but I still remember the slaves."

This woman named Shijin was the most important court lady of Princess Anhe during her lifetime. She was released from slavery as early as Princess Anhe married after she left the palace, and she was also granted the title of Gongren.

After the eldest princess passed away, she followed the young master back to the palace. After the little master grew up, she followed her out of the palace. In these years, she lived in seclusion and stayed in the princess mansion to raise her up.

Even if Mrs. Wen saw her, she would call her Jin Gong.

At this time, she called herself a servant girl, but I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

Wen Guogong remembered that when he and Li'er were in love, Shi Jinji was very lively and talkative, and also very respectful and winking. I don't want to think that after so many years, the other party is so mature, with a dull face and innuendo, there is no respect at all.

"How have you been all these years?"

"The servant girl is a blessed one, so naturally she will live well."

"What you hold in your hand is an offering for Li'er?"

"My lord, you respect yourself, you should call my master the eldest princess."

Princess?

That's his Li'er!

Wen Guogong closed his eyes in grief. For more than 20 years, the past is already a paradise, but he has never let go. I'm afraid he won't let go of it in this life, and will eventually live in the memory of the past.

It's just that today, he can't even think about people when he sees things.

"I want to pay homage to the dead, can't I?"

"The Duke is so affectionate, I really amazed the servants."

"Shi Jin, so many years have passed, I just want to remember my old friend, why do you say these insinuations."

"The eldest princess once said that it is better to feed the dog if the affection has changed."

When Wen Guogong heard the words, his eyes were full of disbelief.

He never changed his mind, why did Li'er say that. Could it be that he had been waiting for his true love for so many years, but was actually abandoned by Li'er as something to feed the dogs?

How ridiculous, ridiculous that he still can't forget everything in the past.

He turned around slowly, his thin back seemed to be a little bent.

Until he was about to leave the mansion, he saw people waiting there.

Mrs. Wen looked worried, and she was obviously relieved when she saw the person she was waiting for appear. She gently put on the cloak for Wen Guogong, her brows were full of concern.

Wen Guogong was not without guilt in his heart, and his eyes were rarely softened.

"Don't wait next time."

"The health of the Duke is important, and the body of the concubine is not tired."

After getting married, they live in separate rooms.

No one expected that after being tricked that time, Mrs. Wang would become pregnant. Mother was very happy, and praised Wang's blessings to everyone she met. Wang was pregnant in October and gave birth to her eldest son.

In terms of virtuousness, no one can match.

He regretted that he never touched Mrs. Wang after marriage. Not only did Wang not complain, but she was also very considerate and admired him, and often felt sad for the lack of fate between him and Li'er.

Many years later, when he was drunk, he was distracted for a while and had a physical relationship with Wang, and then Wang gave birth to Sister Yu. It's just that even though they already had a son and a daughter, they never slept in the same bed like ordinary couples. Over the years, Mrs. Wang has been taking care of the back house and raising children, and she has never complained.

Such an understanding woman is really rare.

"It's been a lot of hard work over the years."

Mrs. Wen's eyes were red when she heard this sentence.

"Being able to marry the Duke is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. I don't have to work hard at all. It is the Duke who suffers. You are the one who has really worked hard these years."

Wen Guogong looked at the gate of the princess mansion, if Li'er was half as gentle as Wang's, their ending would not be like this.

"Let's go."

"good."

Mrs. Wen followed behind him, dignified and respectful.

…

The hour of Hai had passed, and Wen Ruqin hadn't gone to bed yet. She was sitting on the lintel stool, twisting the handkerchief one by one, looking in the direction of the gate of her yard.

With the bright lights on, Hong Sang walked in quickly from the outside.

"Ping... the second sister-in-law is taking a break?"

"Rest." Hong Sang was a little out of breath, "I asked Sanxi about it, and the concubine of the county prepared some suitable snack balls, but she wasn't hungry."

"That's good." Although Wen Ruqin has never been married, she also knows that on the day of the big wedding, women are kept away from morning to night. There are no elders in the house, the grandmother did not come because of illness, and the eldest aunt originally wanted to help, but was rejected by the second brother. When it came to the wedding banquet, it was Jin Gong who was in charge. Jin Gong was the most important person in my aunt's life, and he was highly respected by my second brother, so it was quite appropriate to arrange a banquet.

Father and Chang Taifu welcome and see off guests, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion is also guests.

"Did the second sister-in-law say anything?"

"No. Sanxi retreated after serving the county princess to wash up, and no one was left in the wedding room to wait on her."

Wen Ruqin was not surprised, the second elder brother always stayed away from strangers, and never liked servants to serve him close by. The second sister-in-law loves her second brother so much, she should be extremely happy to be alone in the bridal chamber with her second brother.

In the future, there will be a mistress in the mansion, and she will no longer have to follow the aunt and eldest sister when she goes out to socialize. She doesn't know how relaxed she is. And when she thought of the wonderful relationship between the new second sister-in-law and her, she felt like eating honey in her heart, a little sweeter than the dessert plate on the table today.

The second sister-in-law is newly married, so there must be many discomforts. Thinking this way, I can't help but feel a little worried. Worry more and sleep less all night, and wake up at Yinshi the next day. Dress and freshen up, it was not bright when I went out.

She didn't dare to get too close to the second brother's yard, she hid behind the tree and looked around, listening to the movement from the yard. At dawn, I finally saw someone come out.

The person walking in front is the second brother. The county king wears the crown, and the three-color beads on the crown are radiant. Followed by the second sister-in-law, the first-rank imperial order, the four-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head is shining brightly.

In the twilight of the morning, they are like a pair of golden boy and jade girl born to shine in the world.

She likes it and envies it.

She secretly thought that an infatuated woman like the second sister-in-law deserved her wish most.

From a distance, she saw that the second sister-in-law's body seemed to be weak and weak, and then under her shocked gaze, the second sister-in-law was picked up by the second brother in the air.

She quickly covered her eyes, not daring to look any further.

Ye Ping was also shocked, and subconsciously hugged the neck of the person who was hugging her after exclaiming. Newlyweds have their first taste, and there are few people who are not greedy for joy. She thought Wen Yu would be an exception, but she was wrong.

Marriage bestowed by the Son of Heaven is an honor, and under the honor there are also things that are unreasonable. The spring festival lasts all night, and I have to get up early to go to the palace to pay my respects. When she gets up early to change clothes and freshen up, she is like a puppet being played by someone. He neither cared about the bruises all over his body, nor did he care about the flushing of Sanxi and the others.

Now being hugged like this, she feels at ease.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she pretended to be shy and didn't speak at first. As the carriage moved forward slowly, she began to feel drowsy. Even in the face of beauty, no matter how much you want to be coquettish with her, you can't resist Zhou Gong's call.

When the carriage stopped, she looked dazed.

Seeing the brocade quilt on her body, she knew that it was Wen Yu who covered her. Can't help but think of the similar scene when he sent himself home that time.

"That's it?"

It's really a short dream, I wish I could be with Duke Zhou forever.

"Here we are." Wen Yu said, and handed her a cup of tea. "Moisturize your lips."

This tea is for lip balm, not thirst quenching.

She moistened her lips and licked it with the tip of her tongue.

Wen Yu's deep eyes are like sparks suddenly sparking in the dark night, with the potential to start a prairie fire. It turns out that the red dust in this secular world is so unstoppable.

No matter how wide the carriage is, it is still cramped for humans.

In the small compartment, charming and charming. Ye Ping blushed and thought, wouldn't it be too exciting if there was a car crash outside the high walls of the palace? If it weren't for the fact that her legs were so weak, she would have set fire to it again.

"The king of the county is also moistened." She handed over the teacup.

Wen Yu took it, and took a sip lightly on the place where she was wet just now.

She didn't want to blush, but she couldn't help it. She blushed not because she was shy, but because she was hot. Before getting married, she could only imagine, but now she has been honest with each other, even a simple movement can be seen by her in a different color.

When the two entered the palace, they first had an audience with Tianyan.

The guards outside Jugan Palace are heavily guarded, with one guard at three steps and one guard at five steps. Wangzhi Palace is majestic and majestic, with gold and jade shining on the roof of the hall with double eaves, and horned beasts in different shapes with teeth and claws.

Eunuch Ming had already been waiting outside the hall. When he saw the couple, he greeted them immediately.

When the two entered the hall, Emperor Jing Qing on the dragon seat got up and walked over without waiting for them to salute. After seeing the nephew whose brows were completely cold, he became more and more satisfied with his decisiveness.

Since you don't accept it, you don't have to marry it, so it's better to marry.

Sure enough, Brother Yu will be very different one day after they are about to get married, and I think I am quite satisfied with this Mrs. Ye.

Seeing the Son of Heaven up close, Ye Ping was shocked at first, and then suddenly, the change of Zhang Yichi was perfect. "The minister's wife did not recognize His Majesty before, and please forgive me for her offensive words."

"If I really wanted to commit a crime, how could I grant a marriage?"

Ye Ping immediately showed a flattered expression, two emotions of gratitude and shyness were just right on his face, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he wanted to look but didn't dare to look.

"Your Majesty Long En, the minister's wife is very grateful."

Emperor Jing Qing was very satisfied with her performance, Long Yan was very happy. On the wedding day, both men and women are tired, even the emperor. So after a few simple words of concern from the Holy Will, they were released from the Gathering Palace.

Later, some palace people led them to Zhaode Palace of Empress Gu. Zhaode Palace was already full of beauties, such as noble concubines, virtuous concubines and concubines Hui, who were so beautiful that they were fat and thin.

Empress Gu was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Although the Duke of Zhen's mansion has gone into seclusion after an accident, the position of Empress Gu's harem mistress is extremely stable. One is because of His Majesty's balancing technique, and the other is because Empress Gu gave birth to an eldest prince, who has been registered as a prince.

His Majesty values ​​Wen Yu, so Queen Gu naturally dare not not.

The couple went to the harem to pay their respects, but it was just a formality. Any concubine who still wanted to gain a foothold in the harem would not be so stupid as to embarrass Ye Ping at this time.

Ye Ping happily pretended to be a shy new daughter-in-law, blushing and lowering her head from beginning to end.

She has long been famous outside the palace, and it has spread throughout the palace. When the concubines saw the real person, they murmured in their hearts. Such a shy, beautiful and delicate beauty, unexpectedly knocked down four or five men by herself. If the matter is true, then how useless the descendants of the Wang family would be.

Concubine Wang Hui is also among the concubines, standing at the front.

As early as when Ye Ping met the Wang family, she had heard about it. Because of that stupid gossip, she has been listening to gossip a lot in the palace recently. I thought that such a shameless and fierce woman would be buried under the spittle of the world sooner or later. Unexpectedly, this person turned against the Wang family again and again, and was finally given a marriage to King Wen Jun.

She felt the complicated gazes of other concubines, and when she heard Empress Gu's compliments to Ye Ping, she felt more and more uneasy standing up.

Ye Ping was also exhausted physically and couldn't stand up.

At this moment, Wen Yu resigned, interrupting everyone's prepared remarks. Empress Gu was a little caught off guard, let alone the other concubines.

Wen Yu didn't wait for them to react, and led Ye Ping back.

Ye Ping woke up and looked at him gratefully.

It is worthy of being a criminal secretary, and the feeling is keen.

Wen Yu strode forward first, then stopped suddenly. He was used to walking alone, but he forgot that he was already married.

Ye Ping was walking with difficulty step by step, when a slender hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. With the palm facing up, the fingers are like jade shoots, and thin calluses can be seen between the finger pulps.

With these hands, she remembered how they fanned the flames last night, how they made her love and hate so much. It was the same at this time, and I was tangled in every possible way whether to put it or not.

She blushed, her eyes full of questions.

This is the palace, can we really hold hands?

Wen Yu's answer was to hold her hand tightly, "Are you tired?"

She blinked and blinked, tired or not, does this man have no idea?

"A little bit." Her voice was coquettish.

"Then what to do?"

What do you mean?

Ye Ping's eyes fluctuated, and she couldn't follow Wen Yu's brain circuit at all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the man in front of him is a fairy, but it is a pity that this fairy-like husband is as powerful as a dragon, but he only knows how to be reckless and completely unruly, which is really a bit disappointing.

And three times a night, it is really addictive.

"Just do whatever the king says, I'll listen to the king."

You are the uncle and you have the final say.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in Wen Yu's eyes, and he squeezed her hand a little tighter.
