Wishing You Eternal Happiness

Three years ago, the prince's mother-in-law, on this day, on the third anniversary of the ceremony, the prince went to the Royal Ci'en Temple to preside over the ceremony, and returned to the palace at night to see Emperor Wei.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Wei contracted a cold and caused the old illness. Although the imperial physician tried his best to treat him, his condition did not get better, but after one year, there was a trend of worsening. Near the end of the year, there was no going to court for many days. Just a few days ago, I received a good news from outside the Guan. It was learned that Wei Guogong led the army to defeat the Hu people. This battle that lasted for a year and a half ended with the victory of the Great Wei. The courtiers celebrated, the whole country rejoiced, and the spirit of Wei Emperor was like this. It's better. The prince who heard it came to see him, and he was ordered to pass in.

When the prince entered, he bowed down and paid a tribute to the day. Emperor Wei forwarded the memorial report he had just received to the prince. The Dao army was about to return in the beginning of the spring. He sighed and said with emotion: "In these years, the Hu people have been aggressively fighting their horses, intending to seize the loop. This is for me. One of the major concerns. Now that the war has finally been won, the Hu people retreat in a hurry, and their vitality is greatly injured. It is expected that within ten years, there will be no more power to commit crimes. It can be said that I have gone away."

"We rely on our ancestor Fuyin and father Hongfu to align the heavens, and general Pei and other generals are loyal to the world. We are invincible, and the world is invincible." The prince replied respectfully.

Emperor Wei looked at the prince: "I have another concern, that is, I am the candidate for the prince. I am afraid that my illness will not get better. You are the prince, and the East Palace has only a side concubine, but no concubine. Concubine matters, don’t postpone any longer..."

"Father, the emperor is lucky, he has the blessing of heaven. The matter of children and ministers, wait for the father to recover from his illness, it will not be too late to discuss!"

The prince knelt down with a "puff".

Wei Di waved his hand.

"I know that you are sincere, but this matter can't be delayed any longer. Previously, you kept the filial piety for your mother. Now that the filial piety period has expired, let's get married as soon as possible. In this way, I feel at ease, and the courtiers can also feel at ease."

The prince kowtowed and choked: "The sons and ministers are subject to the arrangements of the emperor."

Emperor Wei motioned to the **** to pass the fold to the prince.

"These three families are not only the door of Langui, the daughter of the boudoir, but also the virtues of maternal rituals."

The prince took it, and quickly read it through the exhibition. He didn't see the person he was thinking of, and was silent for a while.

In his mind, the shadow of another woman emerged.

Her mother, Mrs. Pei, and his queen were former acquaintances of the boudoir. The mother loves Madam Pei's daughter, and she used to call Madam Pei to take her to the palace to talk.

In this way, the daughter of the Pei family who grew up slowly gradually fell into his heart, which made him often remember.

Only then, he had already made a marriage contract.

Later, the woman who had a marriage contract with him died, and at that time, she hadn't had enough time.

The prince found an excuse to postpone her concubine and waited silently for the day when she grew up.

Later, the queen mother unfortunately passed away, and three years later, she finally grew up.

His filial piety period for his mother's queen has expired, and his father's health is deteriorating. He will definitely establish a concubine for him at this time, which is in his expectation.

But what he didn't expect was how could she not be among the candidates for the princess?

Not to mention her own boudoir reputation, only in terms of family background, Pei family has been loyal for generations, and now the Wei Guogong, has a reputation in the court, and knows how to advance and retreat, plus this northern expedition, and make great achievements.

Appointing his daughter as the prince princess, logically, is also beneficial to myself.

As far as he knew, Emperor Wei delineated the daughter of the four ministers this time, and her name ranked first among the four women.

But at this moment, she was not among the candidates for the princess, the prince couldn't believe it for a while.

Wei Di said: "Among these three, I think the daughter of your Taifu is the most suitable. Naturally, the other two are fine. You can choose from them."

How could the prince not be able to hear the emperor's tone of voice? It was the emperor's last meaning to make the daughter of the emperor the princess.

The prince finally managed to suppress the infinite loss in his heart, kowtow, respectfully and respectfully: "I will follow the orders of the emperor."

Wei Di smiled and said: "Very good, this matter is so set. I will issue an edict tomorrow, and I will choose a date to get married as soon as possible one year ago, so that everyone can celebrate with each other."

The prince kowtowed again and thanked him, and when he was about to retire, Wei Dihu said: "Your third brother is now on his way back to Beijing, and he must be there in a few days. He has been naughty since he was a child and insisted on joining the army with General Pei last year. I thought he would return after a while, but I didn't expect to endure the suffering, not only gained experience, but also made military merits. It can be seen that when he grows up, I am very relieved. When he comes back, I will make him king. "

The prince was startled, and he said with joy: "I also said that my third brother will only return with General Pei next spring.

Emperor Wei showed joy, and nodded: "Brothers are of one mind, and the benefits are broken. When I go, I expect you will be able to treat your brothers kindly. In the future, you will rule the world, and your two younger brothers will help you. If you go, you can feel at ease."

The prince replied and said, that night, he was rewarded, and then he finally understood why she was not among the candidates for the prince at the last moment.

Just yesterday, when he was busy preparing for the sacrifice, something he didn't know happened.

Emperor Wei received a letter from his third emperor's brother Xiao Lie.

The letter was sent by Xiao Lie to Beijing with eight hundred li to expedite the day and night.

The others are still on the road now, but that letter, earlier than others, was delivered to Wei Di's hands.

No one knows what he said in the letter, but it seems that the emperor temporarily removed the name of the Pei family's daughter from the list because of receiving that letter.

When the prince received this news, he couldn't sleep all night, and his mood was extremely complicated.

This third brother, because he was favored by his father, has a flamboyant personality since he was a child, and he looks like a different kind in the palace.

Last year he invited himself to join the army. In the eyes of the prince, this brother of the three emperors was nothing more than a reckless behavior under impulsiveness. After joining the army, as Wei Di thought, the prince also believed that he would return to Beijing soon.

What he didn't expect was that not only did he persevere, but in the end he even made military exploits, which made everyone look at him with admiration.

Xiao Lie's biological mother and Mrs. Pei brought some distant relatives, so since childhood, Xiao Lie often went to and out of Pei's mansion.

The prince knew about it.

But what the prince did not expect was that Xiao Lie also fell in love with Pei's daughter. Not to mention that the brother of the Three Emperors, who was originally scheduled to return next spring at the earliest, would return early at this moment.

Looking at his itinerary, it seemed like a makeshift.

Especially that letter is even more suspicious.

Did he know his thoughts, and then returned early, because he wanted to ask Pei's daughter to go before he could choose her?

A few days later, Xiao Lie returned to Beijing and immediately went into the palace to pay respect to Emperor Wei.

What happened afterwards really confirmed the prince's inference.

It was indeed because of the letter he sent that Emperor Wei had crossed out Pei Wenjing's name from the list.

Xiao Lie said in the letter that his biological mother died young and he was loved by Mrs. Pei since he was a child, so he made a wish that the daughter of Pei’s family would not marry, but she knew that she was stubborn. The army marched north, and was lucky enough to make an inch of merit. Then he flew back to Beijing, begging his father to propose to Pei’s family on his behalf to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

...

The setting sun shines in from a window of flowers, reflecting a pot of orchids placed at the corner of the dressing table. The green leaves are lush and lush, and a few plain white orchids have quietly bloomed among the leaves, secretly scented with fragrance. The girl dressed in a white shirt and sat in front of the mirror, holding a wooden comb in her hand, slowly combing a lock of long hair hanging on her chest, and a silver bracelet hanging from her jade wrist, gently shaking with her movements. .

The girl seemed to be worried, and finally put down the wooden comb in her hand, and her eyes fell on the carved lacquer makeup box. After a moment of trance, she stretched out her hand to open the box and took out a jade pendant from the lowest grid.

The jade pendant is green and has blue patterns on it. Although the carvings are not exquisite, they are simple and pleasing. The girl gave it a silk tie, just matching, lying quietly in the girl's palm, the shining jade light almost penetrated the fibrous hand, and the bracelets complemented each other, and it was especially gentle and moving.

The girl hung her head slightly, staring at the jade pendant in her palm, remembering the scene when the rogue boy forcibly gave it to herself on the night of the Yuan Dynasty that year.

After that night, she originally wanted to find a chance to pay him back, but unfortunately, there are always outsiders nearby, or he just doesn’t pick up, and the days go by, this jade pendant was finally left behind. Remaining it has become a matter of her mind.

Before he left last year, he left in a hurry. The night before leaving, he asked the little **** named Li Yuangui next to him to send her a letter in which he said that he would wait for her outside the southwest corner of her home garden.

He said that he wanted to see her.

This is the first time he has made a private appointment with her in the past few years after Shang Yuan Ye.

I still remember that night, after dark, she felt like a deer. I also tried new makeup on the mirror and tried Luo Yi all over.

But at the end of the day, he never took a step towards the appointment.

She only asked her close girl to go there on her behalf, and passed a word telling him to take care and return as soon as possible.

In the year and a half after he left, he heard the news of his father and brother from his mother, and then imagined what he did in the army, which became her little sweet daily pleasure.

It was also after he had left that she felt for the first time deeply that, I don't know when, this rascal who was ashamed and annoyed by reminding her before, turned out to have quietly occupied her heart.

She could never forget him again.

What she didn't expect was that things would become like this now.

The prince's filial piety period has expired for three years. Recently, she has faintly heard some wind. The emperor had to choose the princess for the prince. It is said that he was also one of the candidates, and the possibility of being selected is extremely high.

The supreme honor that so many people envy makes her feel uneasy all day long, sleepless and sleepy.

I hope everything is just false. I hope she loses the election. I hope...

She can wait until the day he returns to Beijing.

"Ajing! Ajing!"

Along with the sound of footsteps, a mother's voice called to him suddenly came from outside the door.

Pei Wenjing was shocked, returned to his senses, quickly put the jade pendant back in the box, turned his head, and saw that the door had been pushed open, and his mother was surrounded by a group of maids and came in, looking at him with a smile.

"Congratulations to the little lady. Someone has just arrived in the palace, and there is good news!"

A mother beside her mother smiled happily and said rushingly.

The girls also looked at her, all smiling.

Pei Wenjing immediately remembered the rumor, his cheeks suddenly lost their blood, one hand supported the edge of the dressing table, stood up slowly, looked at his mother, his eyes were slightly hollow.

Madam Pei immediately noticed her daughter's abnormality and hurriedly walked to her side.

"Ajing, what's the matter with you? Even the palms of your hands are so cold? But what's wrong with your body?"

Madam Pei held her daughter's hand and helped her sit down.

Pei Wenjing shook his head, saying that he was fine, and finally managed to stabilize his mind, softly said: "Mother, what news is coming from the palace?"

"Just now, Li Yuangui came and said that His Royal Highness III is back to Beijing today. Long live my Royal Highness III wants to marry you and betroth you to him."

Pei Wenjing was dumbfounded, with a heart beating so fast that he could hardly believe his ears.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at her mother as if she was in a dream: "Mother, what did you say?"

"Long live wants to marry you and the third majesty. Li Yuangui said, long live means that after the prince gets married, he will arrange the marriage of the three princes, and the imperial decree will be released soon. The news is a bit sudden, but my mother thought, you and the third majesty A little acquaintance..."

"Ajing, mother thought, this is a good thing, you should be happy."

Madam Pei took her daughter to the bed and sat down, put her in her arms, looked at her with relief and relief in her eyes, and said softly.

Pei Wenjing's pale cheeks gradually became blush, bright and beautiful.

"Daughter let her mother decide everything..."

A face of her was buried in her mother's arms, she closed her eyes shyly, and said in a low voice and vaguely.
