MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 675 [Fan] No colorful phoenix with double flying wings (17)
Pingyang slowly opened the car door. She glanced at Li Xiang lightly and asked, "We have only met each other a few times. Why should I marry you?"
Seeing that Li Xiang was speechless for a moment, Pingyang asked again: "Did you ask for this marriage decree?"
Li Xiang nodded vaguely and hesitated: "Cousin, are you angry because of this?" He explained for himself: "I just want to marry you so much, that's why I took this step. I hope you don’t blame me.”
Pingyang sneered. He looked at Li Xiang and asked, "I heard that you have been having an affair with a girl named Jiao Xing in the room, is that right?"
Li Xiang was shocked when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Pingyang in surprise.
Pingyang sighed helplessly and added, "You keep saying that you want to marry me as your wife. I'm afraid you also took a fancy to my good temper. You know that if I marry you as your wife, I will definitely not treat your sweetheart harshly in the future, right?"
Li Xiang quickly explained hesitantly: "No, that's not the case. Cousin, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, that Jiao Xing is just a humble maid. She has always abided by her duties, and I will not do anything to spoil her." The concubine killed his wife."
Li Xiang has no bad intentions, but he has never been able to figure it out clearly. Whether it is in his career or in relationships, he has been wasting his life in confusion.
Pingyang sighed helplessly and replied: "In your heart, as long as you marry me and treat me with courtesy, I will also treat your concubine with courtesy, then everyone will be happy, but Li "Xiang, let me tell you, the life I want is not like this. My husband must treat me wholeheartedly. I can't bear that he loves another woman in his heart."
After Li Xiang heard Pingyang's words, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but Pingyang did not give him this chance. She continued indifferently: "I already have a sweetheart, I hope you will stop pestering me in the future. , if you really love that Jiao Xing in your heart, you will just keep her alone in this life. Why would you drag an innocent woman in to cover up? Don't you know that you are really irresponsible in doing this? Isn’t it very unfair to that innocent woman?”
After Pingyang finished speaking, Li Xiang immediately asked: "Is the person you like the young master of the Pei family?"
Pingyang admitted frankly: "Yes."
Li Xiang said anxiously: "The Pei family has long been in decline. You are the princess of the golden branch. How can the young master of the Pei family be worthy of you?"
Li Xiang was entangled here, and Pei Yunqian happened to come from outside the city on horseback.
He heard in the camp that Emperor Ming had granted marriage to Pingyang, so he rushed back impatiently.
Pingyang saw cousin Pei from a distance. She didn't care about breaking up with Li Xiang. Pingyang hurriedly got out of the carriage, holding up her skirt and trotting towards Pei Yunqian to greet him.
Pei Yunqian didn't bother to stop his horse. When he saw Pingyang running towards him through the snow, Pei Yunqian turned over and jumped off the horse, striding towards Pingyang. Pingyang rushed into cousin Pei's arms, and his first words were : "Cousin, my mother-in-law has promised to marry me and you."
Pei Yunqian hugged Pingyang tightly and asked anxiously: "But just now I heard that the saint actually gave you a marriage to that Li Xiang."
Pingyang looked up at Cousin Pei's anxious look. She smiled sweetly and replied briefly: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already asked Aunt Huang, and she promised to stand up for me."
Because of anxiety, Pei Yunqian galloped all the way, with a few flakes of crystal flying snow on his temples and a biting cold air exuding from his body.
Pingyang stood on tiptoes and kissed Pei Yunqian's chapped lips gently. Pei Yunqian was so shocked by her sudden move that he froze in place. After he reacted, he licked the lips that Pingyang had kissed. lips, and then smiled stupidly at Pingyang.
“We can finally be together forever.” Pingyang put his head in cousin Pei’s arms and murmured.
“Pingyang, I will take care of you for the rest of my life.” Cousin Pei didn’t speak much, but every word he spoke was firm.
The two of them chatted for a long time before Pingyang remembered Li Xiang who was standing not far away. She straightened her clothes and pulled her cousin Pei towards the carriage. When she passed by Li Xiang, Pei Yunqian raised his eyes. He glanced at Li Xiang lightly and said two words coldly: "Get out of the way!" Li Xiang didn't come back to his senses until the two of them drove away in a carriage.
He only felt that the whole world was dimming, and he had never been so depressed. He rode on his horse and headed towards the city in despair.
A few days later, several more eunuchs came to the palace and apologized to Concubine Lan and Princess Yong. They said that the **** next to the emperor sent the wrong message last time, which caused the Ministry of Rites to draft the wrong edict. Imperial edict, then there was a misunderstanding.
In short, the decree granting marriage is not counted.
It is unbelievable to the world that the imperial decree can go wrong. However, Emperor Ming was a confused emperor, and only the Duke and Prince Yong's Palace knew about the marriage decree. It was a wrong decree. As long as It doesn't hurt that the person involved is not humane.
Just after experiencing such twists and turns, Princess Yongqin no longer wanted to cause trouble, so she immediately sent a letter to Prince Yong, explained the situation, and simply made a marriage agreement between Pingyang and Pei Yunqian.
The twilight is all around, and the willow trees are slightly above the moon.
Another ten days later, Pei Yunqian returned on horseback. The boy at the door greeted him enthusiastically, took the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "My dear cousin, you are finally back. The princess has been waiting at the door since noon." You were so cold that you sneezed several times, and you were just forced by Yuzhu to take you back to the inner courtyard."
After hearing what the boy said, Pei Yunqian hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard. He went straight to Pingyang's courtyard. When he reached the door, he hesitated and stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he still did not go in, but He informed the maid guarding the door: "Tell the princess soon that I am back. It's freezing cold. Ask her to stay in the house and don't come out."
Pei Yunqian returned to his residence. Before he could take off his coat, Pingyang opened the door and followed him in.
“How did you come back?”
Her face was filled with joy, but she was pouting and complaining coquettishly.
When Pei Yunqian heard this, he turned around quickly and looked at Pingyang with eyes full of tenderness. Even the tone of his words was very gentle: "We are training in the camp today, so we came back late. Why did you run to the gate again?" Wait, it’s cold now, what if you get frozen?”
Pingyang smiled and stepped forward, stretching out his arms to Pei Yunqian in a very clinging manner. Pei Yunqian subconsciously took a step back, scolded her, and said seriously: "Pingyang, don't mess around."
“We have already made an engagement.” Pingyang’s eyes sparkled with happiness and he whispered: “That day at the gate of the city, in front of so many people, we even kissed on the lips.”
Pei Yunqian's handsome face was slightly red. He raised his hand and scraped the tip of Pingyang's small nose with his crooked fingers, and coaxed: "Be good, don't mess around."
Pingyang knew that Cousin Pei was a determined gentleman, so she simply sat down opposite him, holding her cheek with one hand, pouting and muttering: "The wedding is only three months away, it's really annoying."
Pei Yunqian looked at her lovingly and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so anxious?"
"Are you not in a hurry?" Pingyang held his chin and raised his eyes to look at Pei Yunqian. His eyes were watery and aggrieved, like a soft kitten.
Pei Yunqian held his breath for a moment. He closed his eyes and uncontrollably leaned over and kissed Pingyang gently on his forehead.
This sudden kiss surprised both of them. After reacting, Pingyang covered his face with his hands shyly, and Pei Yunqian also blushed.
