Chapter 56 Persuasion
The next day, Nangong Jinse and Li Jin returned to the general's mansion together. Xia Qingshan greeted him at the door of the mansion.
"Miss, are you back? Is that okay?" Xia Qingshan asked happily and worriedly.
Nangong Jinse said lightly: "Well, it's okay."
Xia Qingshan: "This morning, the imperial capital was talking about the archery skills of the young lady in the world, and no one could match them, even if she could shoot her hair off."
Nangong Jinse: "There is no need to pay attention to the rumors in the city."
Xia Qingshan nodded and looked at Li Jin beside him: "Who is this?"
"This is Li Jin, my brother, I'm going to stay in the General's Mansion for a few days. You can go and prepare a room."
"Yes, I'll go now." After saying that, Xia Qingshan walked inside, and Nangong Jinse took Li Jin to Tingyu Tower.
Inside the house, Yuzhu made new tea for the two of them.
"Brother, have you figured out how to deal with the martial arts competition and marriage?"
"Well, just lose to Wei Jiannan."
"I hope that the princess can give up and see more easily at that time."
"Sister, don't worry about me. But you, after the hunting ground competition, I'm afraid your future journey will be even more difficult. Those concubines and royal children are staring at you!"
"I will be far away from them."
"Well, that's good, everything must be safeguarded."
After a while, Xia Qingshan walked in from outside: "Miss, the guest room is ready."
Nangong Jinse looked at Li Jin and said, "Then brother will have a good rest in the general's mansion these days. Feng Yang, take his brother to his wing room."
Li Jin nodded and walked out with Feng Yang, but the expression on his face was a little solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After Li Jin left, Nangong Jinse said, "What's going on with the old lady and Nangong Yuyan?"
Xia Qingshan: "The old lady said that she was so bored that she brought the second lady back to accompany her. After the second lady came back, she was still wearing a nun robe. She either recited scriptures and meditation, or recited Buddhist scriptures for the old lady. She felt like she was really devoted to Buddhism and was not interested in the world at all."
Nangong Jinse: "If she is true, I will not care about it, but if she is ill-intentioned, I will not show mercy."
Xia Qingshan: "Would you like to send someone to stare?"
Nangong Jinse: "You don't have to worry about this, I will ask people to stare at it."
Xia Qingshan: "Yes, I'll go down first, Miss, have a rest. I guess hunting is also very hard."
Nangong Jinse nodded, thinking that he would not be tired after hunting for the past ten days, but the most important thing was that he was tired.
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
It was noon when Wei Xiaoyu woke up. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and the maid was dressing up for her. Thinking about the humiliation yesterday, her anger was hard to relieve. In anger, she pushed everything on the dressing table to the ground.
The maid was frightened and used force to hurt Wei Xiaoyu.
Wei Xiaoyu stood up and slapped the maid in the face. The maid covered her face and knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, I didn't do it on purpose."
Wei Xiaoyu was so angry that she threw the maid a few slaps before she gave up. The maid was crying like rain but she didn't dare to say anything.
Wei Jie walked in from outside.
"Get out." Wei Xiaoyu said to the maid on the ground.
The maid quickly got up and ran out. Wei Xiaoyu sat on the chair and looked at Wei Jie.
"Have you found out what happened to Nangong Jinse?"
"My subordinates have already investigated. Since Nangong Jinse returned to the General's Mansion, he has not been favored by the old lady of the General's Mansion. Once, because Nangong Jinse beat Nangong Yuyan, he gave her fifty whips. But later, for some reason, Nangong Yuyan's biological mother became crazy for some reason. Nangong Yuyan was also expelled from the General's Mansion by Nangong Jinse to become a nun because of poisoning her biological mother."
"What else?"
"Later, the general's concubine and concubine daughter both had an accident, and none of them were spared."
"Then do you think these are related to Nangong Jinse?"
"I don't know that the general's mansion is very strict and it is difficult to find useful things. However, the old lady took Nangong Yuyan back recently."
"Nangong Yuyan! It's my cousin to speak of it! Although her biological mother has no relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, this blood relationship cannot be changed." Wei Xiaoyu said quietly, with sharp eyes, as if she was planning something.
"Does the lady plan to take revenge on Nangong Jinse with Nangong Yuyan's hand?"
"Yes, we can use all those who can use it."
"What's that lady going to do?"
"I still have to think about this. Will my brother come back?"
"I'm back, but." Wei Jie looked a little embarrassed, not knowing whether he should say it.
"Just what?" Wei Xiaoyu said in confusion.
"Miss just woke up and may not know what happened to the hunting ground last night."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Wei Xiaoyu said anxiously.
"The young master and Deputy General Li won the first place at the same time. The young master asked the emperor to marry the princess, but the princess was unwilling to force each other to die. In the end, the emperor issued an order to compete for martial arts and marry a marriage in five days and choose a princess for the princess." Wei Jie briefly explained the matter in one breath, and did not dare to look up at Wei Xiaoyu's face.
When Wei Xiaoyu heard this, her face turned so dark that she slapped the table with her palm.
"Brother actually wants to marry that bitch." Wei Xiaoyu said with a twisted expression and gritted her teeth.
Wei Jie comforted, "Miss, it's not certain now. If the young master loses his marriage competition, he will not be able to marry the princess."
"Hmph, I must not let my brother marry that bitch, I must not." Wei Xiaoyu said coldly with a vague and resentful look on her face.
Wei Jie stood aside and didn't say anything. He knew that Wei Xiaoyu admired Wei Jiannan. Although the two were not biological children, the young master treated the lady as his own sister and had no personal relationship. How could he accept such inappropriate love?
"You go out first, I want to be quiet." Wei Xiaoyu said this after a long time.
"Yes." Wei Jie withdrew and closed the door.
Two days later, the palace.
Hao Lianyue sat in a chair with a bun in a daze.
Hao Lianche walked in with Jiang Yihuan's arm, but Hao Lianyue turned a blind eye.
Jiang Yihuan sat next to Hao Lianyue, looking at Hao Lianyue's disgusting look, feeling very distressed. Hao Lianche also sat on the other side of Hao Lianyue, holding his head with his hands on his head, looking at Hao Lianyue who was ignorant, not knowing what to do to make her happy.
Jiang Yihuan held Hao Lianyue's hand in her hand and said in a gentle tone: "Yue'er, Mother knows that you are sad, but there are some things that cannot be forced."
When Hao Lianyue heard this, she looked at Jiang Yihuan with some sense of consciousness.
"Yue'er doesn't want to force him, she just hopes that he will give me some time, maybe he will change his mind." Hao Lianyue pursed her lips and her eyes began to turn red again.
Jiang Yihuan pulled Hao Lianyue into her arms and patted her back and comforted her: "Silly Yue'er, if a man would rather die than marry you, it means he must have no affection for you, even if it took a long time, it would be the same."
Hao Lianyue cried and said, "But even if the mother cannot marry him, Yue'er doesn't want to marry Wei Jiannan."
Jiang Yihuan: "Actually, when you were fourteen years old, the emperor had already planned to betroth you to Jiannan, but at that time, the emperor and I were reluctant to leave us so early. This delay lasted for nearly three years, so no matter what, your marriage should be prepared this year."
Hao Lianyue didn't speak, but just shed tears silently.
Jiang Yihuan: "Besides, Jiannan has grown up with you since childhood, and he has seen his good mother to you. If you marry him, you will not suffer any grievances."
Hao Lianche was feeling distressed when he looked beside him and comforted him: "Sister, don't cry. I see that Wei Jiannan is much better than Li Jin."
Jiang Yihuan: "You are in the royal family and have the rights and wealth that ordinary people cannot enjoy, but on the contrary, you have to pay more than ordinary people. The daughter of an ordinary family can not marry, but as a princess, you cannot, because your every move represents the royal family. If you are not bad, you will be ridiculed by the world."
Hao Lianche: "My mother is right. If you don't marry, people would think that your dignified princess can't get married. Wouldn't our royal face be lost?"
Hao Lianyue whispered: "Yue'er thought that since childhood, she had been loved by her father and mother, she could get everything in the world and do everything in the world. She could do everything Yue'er could do, but she didn't expect there was so much helplessness."
Jiang Yihuan: "It's enough that you understand these things. Today, my mother came to you, just hope you can see the reality clearly. You should think about what you should be open, and you should let go of what you should be."
Hao Lianyue said aggrievedly: "But Yue'er can't do it!"
Jiang Yihuan felt distressed when she looked at Hao Lianyue, but she was helpless.
Jiang Yihuan: "It is indeed difficult to grow up all at once, but you must accept some things. No matter what the result is in the competition for marriage, the mother hopes that Yue'er will not be willful anymore. Your father and I hope Yue'er will be safe and happy all her life."
When Hao Lianyue heard this, she gradually stopped crying and lay quietly in Jiang Yihuan's arms.
Jiang Yihuan sighed and said sadly: "I hope Yue'er, don't blame your father and mother for forcing you to get married."
Hao Lianyue shook her head and said, "Yue'er doesn't know what to do, don't worry, Mother, Yue'er will grow up slowly."
Jiang Yihuan: "Now Yue'er wants to agree to her mother, no matter what the result of the competition is to recruit a bride, she must accept it."
Hao Lianyue whispered: "Well, okay, Yue'er agreed. Yue'er is so old, so you shouldn't let your mother and father worry about Yue'er any longer."
Hearing this, Jiang Yihuan's face, which was originally full of sorrow, finally had a smile on her face. Hao Lianche looked at Hao Lianyue and thought it through and felt much better.
The few chatted a little longer, and Hao Lianche stared at the buns in Hao Lianyue's arms and stared at the buns in a daze: "Sister, are you so fat in this meat bun? You can stew a big pot."
When Hao Lianyue heard this, she hugged the bun tightly and looked at Hao Lianche vigilantly.
Hao Lianche's eyes turned, and he snatched the bun in Hao Lianyue's hand and started running. Hao Lianyue was stunned for a moment, and then chased Hao Lianche like crazy and ran out.
Hao Lianche ran and said, "Catch me, I'll give it to you if I catch me, otherwise I'll use it to stew it."
Hao Lianyue said angrily: "Bad Che, stop me, don't eat my buns."
"What are you doing if you don't have such a fat diet? It looks delicious." Hao Lianche said owing a flattering thing.
Hao Lianyue snorted, then ran desperately with the power of the prehistoric world. She was about to catch up, but she was tripped by a stone under her feet and rushed forward, just grabbing Hao Lianche's leg. Hao Lianche also fell down, and the bun ran away as soon as it landed.
Hao Lianyue climbed upwards and sat on Hao Lianche's waist with a proud look on her face.
"Hmph, I've caught it yet."
"I said sister, not only did the buns grow fat lately, but you have also grown fat, my waist!" Hao Lianche said helplessly.
When Hao Lianyue heard this, she pulled her sleeve and started to scratch Hao Lianche's itch. Hao Lianche laughed loudly, and Hao Lianyue also laughed, and the two of them laughed together.
Jiang Yihuan walked out of the house and saw this scene, with a slight smile on her face.
"Oh! These two siblings don't know when they will grow up!"
