Chapter 615 Chu Jingqi returns to Beijing
Xia Zihan didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of herself.
During the meal, she tried hard to suppress her emotions and showed great joy. After the meal, she accepted the New Year's money given to her by Mrs. Zeng, and sat down again until nightfall, when she and Mrs. Zhuo, the twins, Returned to Prince Anjun's Mansion.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Chu Lin suddenly brought news about Rong San.
When Princess Rong returned to her natal family on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she arranged a marriage for Rong San, who was her natal niece.
The marriage had already been decided, and even the girdle stickers had been changed. Moreover, before the engagement, Princess Rong didn't ask Rong San about her intentions at all. Even Prince Rong only found out about it after the marriage was settled.
Rong San despised his cousin. After learning the news, he was extremely unhappy and started quarreling to break off the engagement.
Princess Rong didn't want her family to be embarrassed, so she didn't agree.
It turned out that Rong San's cousin had liked Rong San very much since she was a child, and had expressed her love to him overtly and secretly. Unfortunately, flowers fall with intention, but water is ruthless.
On the contrary, Rong San hated her very much. He hated her very much. Every time he saw her, she always looked like someone had bullied her. She wanted to cry or not. She was so pitiful.
Rong San hates that kind of woman the most and avoids her for fear.
Consider her one of the number one alienated people.
How could Rong San marry such a disgusting person willingly? He wished he could stay away from her.
Rong San secretly went to his grandfather's house without telling Princess Rong, and called off the marriage himself.
After his cousin found out, she felt so sad and despaired that she hanged herself.
The niece died, and she died during the Chinese New Year, and it was because of the death of her son. One can imagine how guilty Princess Rong felt towards her mother's family.
When Princess Rong got the news, she almost fainted. In grief, she sent someone to arrest Rong San, and ordered her son to kneel in front of his second brother and second sister-in-law, and kowtow to plead guilty.
"The niece of Princess Rong who died was the eldest daughter of her second brother's family. I heard that Princess Rong's second sister-in-law loved this daughter the most. When she saw her daughter dead, she almost went crazy. She was holding her daughter. The body didn’t let go, or her son was afraid that his mother would be upset and did something bad, so he knocked her unconscious and she hasn’t woken up yet.”
Chu Lin gloated and sighed for a while.
Seeing Rong San's misfortune, Chu Lin seemed very happy, but she couldn't help but add insult to injury, "Rong San is also in this situation, he deserves it, huh..."
But Xia Zihan couldn't be happy, and he was not in the mood to add insult to injury.
She always felt that Rong Sanhui broke off the engagement probably because her young life was just gone... Even if it had nothing to do with her directly, she... felt heavy in her heart.
"Master, Rong San is still kneeling at the gate of his grandfather's house. Many people are watching the excitement. You don't know that Rong San has been completely embarrassed this time."
"Her second uncle was also ill, and Princess Rong hired an imperial doctor to treat him. Also, I heard that in order to compensate her second brother, Princess Rong even gave several Zhuangzi shops as a dowry, saying they were for her second brother. The dowry for the second daughter can be regarded as compensation. The Zhuangzi shop was originally a dowry for Miss Rong Wu. "
Everyone is dead, so what can we do to compensate for some property?
Xia Zihan sighed deeply, "Princess Rong made the wrong move."
It is understandable that Princess Rong wanted to leave the position of Princess Rong to her niece in the next generation. Yes, the mistake was that she made the decision privately without even leaving room for discussion with Rong San, which caused Rong San The rebellion was so severe that it caused today's tragedy.
Princess Rong always used softness to overcome strength when doing things, even if she wanted to use dirty tricks, she also did it secretly. Like this time, she knew clearly that her son hated her niece, she hated her so much, but she still insisted on bringing them together, and she killed Rong San first and then reported it. , no wonder Rong San would rush to break off the engagement after knowing it.
No matter what happened, Princess Rong was always to blame for this matter.
It was an accident after all, and no one expected it. In addition to a fortune, Princess Rong also compensated her second brother fifty thousand taels of silver, and the matter was finally settled.
The relationship between the two families is no longer as close as before.
After that incident, Rong San became a lot duller. Basically, except when he went to the palace to do errands, he would lock himself in the room as soon as he got home and ignore anyone.
After Princess Rong had been taught a lesson, she did not dare to make a casual engagement to him again. Sometimes when she saw him, she would mention his marriage, but Rong San also refused directly.
And Rong San was also stimulated. For no reason, he drove away and sold the women in his yard, including the maids, without leaving any women under the age of thirty.
People in the capital were spreading rumors that he had been greatly stimulated and that he had changed from a playboy to a womanizer.
In mid-February, news came from the south that Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen joined forces to attack Kyoto of the Japanese state and directly surrounded the imperial palace of the Japanese state. In addition, they also captured many ministers of the Japanese state.
Several princes of the Japanese country had to surrender, including Prince Masada. Several princes headed by Prince Masada jointly wrote a document, willing to submit to the name of Dasheng and become a vassal state of Dasheng.
It's a pity that after the last time the Japanese sued for peace and reconciliation, Chu Xuanyu no longer trusted the Japanese people. He and Ao Tianchen's 300,000 troops were stationed in Kyoto and arrested all the Japanese royal family members.
The ministers and members of the royal family of the Japanese state became prisoners of Dasheng.
After receiving the letter, Emperor Dasheng summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
Three days later, a notice was posted on the door of the government office, saying that Japan had become a vassal state of Dasheng. The imperial court sent more than ten civil servants to the Japanese country to reorganize the Japanese court. Of course, who should be the emperor of the Japanese country? Now, it is not the people of the Japanese country who have the final say, but the people of Dasheng.
In April, Da Sheng's civil servants rushed to the Japanese kingdom and selected a five-year-old prince from the royal family of the Japanese kingdom to become the emperor of the Japanese kingdom.
The ten civil servants of Dasheng stayed in Japan to assist the emperor and reorganize the country. These ten civil servants also became the first batch of ministers of Dasheng stationed in Japan in the history of Japan.
As for Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen, they had to continue to garrison here until the Japanese country was reorganized. As for the prisoners in the Japanese royal family, a general escorted them back to Dasheng, where they were kept in captivity by Emperor Dasheng. In a palace that has been abandoned for many years behind the palace.
It was not until a year later that everything in the Japanese country was in the hands of Emperor Dasheng. The emperor then issued an order to let Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen return to the capital. As for the Japanese country, Ao Tianchen left two generals and two A hundred thousand troops have been guarding the territory of Japan for a long time.
The people of Japan did not dare to cause trouble again.
Of course, this is a later story.
……
Half a month after Chu Xuanyu and Ao Tianchen surrounded the Japanese palace, Chu Jingqi, who had been missing for a long time, finally sent word back to Prince Anjun's palace.
However, what surprised Xia Zihan was that Chu Jingqi's letter only mentioned Zhuo and the twins, but not her.
Not a word was mentioned about her.
Xia Zihan was very surprised, even in disbelief. However, when she read the letter Zhuo gave her from beginning to end, there was not a single word about her.
"Did Aqi write another letter to you and was delayed on the way?" Zhuo guessed.
If he really wrote a letter to her, he should have sent it back with him. Then why didn't she receive it?
However, when Aqi wrote back, how could he not mention her? In the past, he would only write to her.
Now, she was not mentioned a word, as if... it was as if she was no longer in the family, which made the uneasiness deep in her heart gradually expand.
Chu Jingqi said that she was everything to him, and even if someone would trade the whole world for her, he would not trade it.
When Chu Jingqi met Xia Zihan in his life, he wanted beauty, not power,
He said this to her on the second day after they got married. At that time, his expression was as tender as water and as affectionate as the sea. She still clearly remembers it to this day.
"Ayu, maybe Aqi wants to give you a surprise. This child has been able to make his wife happy since he was a child. Just wait for him to come back so that he can give you a surprise."
Xia Zihan smiled, this was the only way, otherwise, what else could she do.
Although Chu Jingqi returned with a letter, his whereabouts were very mysterious. Where he was, the letter did not mention a word.
Xia Zihan survived for more than a difficult month, and finally, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Jingqi finally came back.
He did give her a surprise, no... a shock.
"Mom, this is Princess Ximin. Please ask someone to clear out a yard for her to live in."
Suddenly returning to Beijing, suddenly entering the house, the first thing she said after entering the house was to ask Zhuo to arrange a courtyard for the woman next to her to live in.
After receiving the news, Xia Zihan ran out in surprise, but what she saw was him looking at another woman tenderly, supporting her, and introducing her to Mr. Zhuo.
"Aqi." Mrs. Zhuo's face changed greatly, "Princess Ximin is the marriage princess sent to the Japanese country. Now that you have brought her back, she cannot be arranged to live in our house. She has to ask the Emperor, Queen and Queen Mother for a marriage. An is the one.”
"I will tell the emperor personally about this matter. Mother, just do as I say and let Xiao Min stay." The voice was gentler than ever before.
Xiao Min?
Hearing this title, not only Zhuo almost fainted, but Xia Zihan, who had just walked in, was also dizzy.
"Aqi." She shouted with a slightly trembling voice, her eyes already filled with tears, "Aqi, are you back?"
Chu Jingqi seemed to hear a sound at the door, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Xia Zihan.
But that look hurt Xia Zihan's heart.
It was so strange, that gaze made her feel strange, as if...as if he was looking at a stranger, and he was a little disgusted, because his brows were slightly frowned, which was a subconscious action when he was unhappy.
"Aqi, is it you? It's really you. You're really back. There's been no news from you for more than a year. You bastard, why did you come back?" Xia Zihan approached him, her eyes blurred by tears. , staring at his face, holding on.
God knows how excited and scared she is at the moment.
