Beloved Empress

3. Forced marriage

Hanfu

Mrs. Han sat in the room, holding a note in her hand, and looked at it carefully. It was the marriage certificate drawn in Yuelao Temple that day. The words of the master echoed in her ears: The marriage of the son has arrived, far away The horizon, in front of us, as long as you work hard, it will soon come to fruition.

With a sigh, he murmured: "Why does God have to arrange this, why is Bai Jiuhui the daughter of the Mo family, she is really suitable for Xiaoer, but her identity, no, they can never be together, how can Xiaoer be with himself Let’s kill the daughter of my father’s enemies together! Absolutely not.” Angrily shredded the marriage certificate in his hand, angrily said: “Bai Jiu deceived us for so long, it’s too unpredictable, and she is just like her father, crazy Pride, no one in the eyes, is it true that we Han people are bullying? She will soon be asked to be chopped off. Although the entire Mo family cannot be buried with him, but Mo Jiujiu died, and the Mo family will not feel better. Deserved, this is their retribution. Zhenguo killed my father-in-law, and Xiao Er lost his father, so God also punished him for losing the person he cares most about and letting him lose his daughter. This is the retribution he deserves. Mo Jiujiu, as his daughter, should be damned. I will never allow her to be with Xiaoer. Xiaoer is so good, I must find a virtuous and gentle girl to match him, I will help Xiaoer find A better woman, let Xiaoer forget Mo Jiujiu, Mo Jiujiu."

"Ma'am--" Qiu He, the maid next to Mrs. Han, came in at this time and reported: "Ma'am, there is a girl outside who wants to see her."

"Girl, what girl?" Mrs. Han asked.What girl does she know!

Qiu Heyu reported: "The girl said that she came from the south, named Wu Bingbing, and said that she was the wife of his wife."

Mrs. Han heard the name Wu Bingbing and immediately smiled happily: "Bing Bing is here, hurry, let her in."

"Yes!" Qiu He went down immediately.

A moment later, I saw a woman dressed in lilac dress walk in. The woman looks beautiful and has a white complexion. The charm and temperament of her body are the kind of tenderness unique to Jiangnan women. The clothes on her body are exquisite and beautiful. Under the light of her face, no matter how beautiful her clothes are, she has become bleak, her soft and weak figure, her slim waist, and her eyes soft and watery.

Wu Bingbing walked in and saw Mrs. Han with her lips raised, her knees bent gracefully, her voice soft and well-behaved: "Bing Bing has seen the goddess."

Mrs. Han immediately stepped forward and raised Wu Bingbing: "Bing Bing quickly and without any courtesy, let the goddess look at you."

The old lady took Wu Bingbing's hand and looked up and down, heartily admiring: "I haven't seen it for many years, Bingbing has become a big girl, looks so beautiful and beautiful, if you see it on the street, the goddess must not Dare to admit it."

Wu Bingbing blushed and said softly, "Gang Niang, you have won the prize. Compared with the beauty of Gan Niang, Bing Bing is far away. After so many years, Gan Niang is still so young and beautiful."

Mrs. Han smiled: "Your boy, your little mouth is sweet. Sit down quickly. The goddess has some things to tell you."

Mrs. Han took Wu Bingbing to sit at the table and took her hand to ask: "Bing Bing, your parents are okay, why did you come to Kyoto suddenly?"

Wu Bingbing gently smiled and replied: "Father and mother are very good, thank you godmother for your care, but father feels that he is older, and in the past two years, he has taken care of the business of his brother, father and mother. My parents are free now, and my dad has more time to spend time with my mother. This time I came to Kyoto. First, Bingbing has been to Kyoto from the future. I am very curious about Kyoto. Second, I haven’t seen the goddess for years. Come look at the goddess, Tang suddenly came, hoping not to disturb the goddess."

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "What is your child, what can you say, you can come to see the godmother, the godmother is too happy to be too happy! How can it bother you! I really envy your mother, you are such a wise person A lovely daughter, the godmother and your mother grew up together from a young age, we said at that time! If you are married in the future, you will have a son and a daughter, your mother and you gave birth to you and your brother, but the godmother did I only gave birth to a child of Xiaoer, and I really regretted it, so I will recognize you as a daughter from an early age, but the two are too far away. There are very few times to meet each other. Every time I see you, I return to me. Maiden's family, and then went to your mother to play for a few days, only to see you. Since your godfather died in battle, the godmother has gone back alone. A few years ago, her parents died, and Xiaoer was busy, so Not much to go back, and I haven’t seen you for many years. I didn’t expect you to grow up like this.”

Wu Bingbing smiled softly and mentioned Han Yixiao. His small face unconsciously climbed onto the blush. He asked shyly, "Brother Xiao is okay now?" When asked Han Yixiao, Wu Bingbing's heartbeat was unconscious. speed up.

Mrs. Han saw this reaction from Wu Bingbing and understood in her heart that every time she returned to the south, the two children met. Bingbing liked to play with Xiaoer. At that time, Bingbing's parents also said that they would grow up with their children and relatives when they grow up!Now that both children have grown up, Bing Bing has that thought about Xiao Er. Xiao Er has not married yet. If they can be combined, maybe Xiao Er will forget Bai Jiu as soon as possible, and Bing Bing has grown up since childhood. Yes, knowing the roots and the bottom, and rest assured, quite good.

The more I thought, the more I felt that Xiao Er was as good as Bing Bing. Thinking about this, Mrs. Han's mood slowly improved, looking at Bing Bing Road: "Your brother Xiao is good, just like your godfather, dancing every day. Guns, there is no time to accompany the goddess."

Wu Bingbing smiled and comforted: "Brother Xiao is a great general and a great hero of Huachenguo, and will naturally work harder, but how can a godmother have such a wonderful son as Brother Xiao, how many parents envy! So the godmother should be happy ."

Mrs. Han said with joy: "Your child really talks. The goddess really likes it more and more, and you and Xiaoer haven't seen you for a long time. If she knows you are coming, she will be very happy to see you come and go. So beautiful, your brother Xiao must dare not recognize you."

Wu Bingbing smiled shyly, lowered his head, and asked shyly: "Brother Xiao must be busy! I don't know if I will see Brother Xiao when I come to Kyoto this time."

Mrs. Han said happily: "Your brother Xiao is usually very busy, but Bingbing came by today, your brother Xiao happened to be in the house today."

Wu Bingbing raised his head, his eyes filled with joy, "Really? Brother Xiao is in Fufu now?"

"Yes! You are really destined. Let's go. The goddess takes you to see Xiaoer and gives him a surprise." Mrs. Han took Wu Bingbing's hand and walked out. She had her own plan in mind and must match Xiaoer and Bingbing were together. Although Xiaoer's attitude towards Baijiu's affairs was very firm. After knowing that Baijiu was the daughter of the Mo family, he decisively broke off his relationship with Baijiu, but she knew that her son was only superficial. I gave up. In fact, Bai Jiu was reluctant in his heart. After all, he had been together for so long. Now it seems that Bai Jiu is quite scheming. He first entered Xiaoer's atrium and let Xiao Er fall in love with her, even if she knew her. Xiao Er's identity also requires her to miss her, maybe she will find a way to save her because of this thought!I used to think she was simple, but now it seems that she is not only simple, but also very thoughtful. As Mo Changxiao's daughter, how could it be simple!It was their mother and son who were too stupid to be deceived by her.

But no matter what, she was the daughter of the Mo family, so she never wanted to enter the door of the Han family.She must be completely removed from Xiaoer's life and heart.

Bingbing is a good girl. If she marries in, she will definitely be a good wife and a good mother. Although she is not as capable as Bai Jiu, she is very suitable for a wife and will take good care of her family.If they were with Xiaoer, they would be happy. Xiaoer and her knew each other from childhood. This relationship is incomparable for Bai Jiu. As long as they have more contact and get along for a period of time, I believe Xiao Er will forget that Bai Jiu likes Bingbing. of.Thinking this way, the worries in the old lady's heart had dispersed a lot.

Wu Bingbing thought that she could see Han Yixiao immediately, and she was very excited. In fact, she saw Han Yixiao for the first time since she was a child. She liked him very much, and every time she saw her, she wanted to be closer to him. And play with him. Although I haven't seen each other in recent years, I haven't forgotten him for a day. As long as I think of him, I feel very happy and happy.The main reason for coming to Kyoto this time is to want to see him. If it is possible to be his wife, that is her biggest wish.

The reason why Han Yixiao didn’t go to the barracks today was because he was really in a bad mood. As early as the early dynasty, the emperor sentenced Bai Jiu’s death sentence, which meant that she would disappear from this world forever. It completely disappeared from his own world, as Chu Lingxiao said, parting from life to death, it is impossible to meet again.

But what can he do, she is the daughter of the Mo family, he is the son of the Han family, the two have a common hatred, even if he can't bear it, he has no such relationship with her after all.

I don’t want to go to the barracks, I want to calm down my heart, because when I walk into the barracks, I will think of her involuntarily. After all, she stayed in the barracks for so long. In the past, when she was in the barracks, as long as she saw herself, she would He smiled and ran over to say hello. Now every time he walks into the barracks, there will be such a picture in front of him, but he is very clear in his heart. Such a picture is just a fantasy, because she left a deep impression in her mind.

I thought that she would miss her less if she didn't go to the barracks, and that she would occupy less place in her life, but he found that even if she didn't go to the barracks, her voice and smile would still be in front of her. When I appeared, I couldn’t help but linger. I had no choice but to pick up the sword and practice the sword in the yard, hoping to use my mind to practice the sword, so that I might temporarily forget her.

A chilling sword flew up and down like a dragon in Han Yixiao's hands. The moves were very fast and fierce. Every move carried cold coldness, as if to take the resentment and anger in my heart through the sword. Vent out, is it possible for him and Bai Jiu to lose these bad emotions?

Thinking of Bai Jiu again, Han Yixiao's heart became even more disturbed, and the sword in his hand moved faster.

Mrs. Han and Wu Bingbing came to the residence of Han Yixiao, walked into the courtyard, and saw Han Yixiao practicing sword from afar.

Mrs. Han looked at his son’s sword, and knew that he was in a bad mood. The son was a poorly expressed person. He didn’t like to talk to someone about anything. Although he had a friend of the prime minister, he didn’t like to talk to his friend, so When you are in a bad mood, you will use sword practice to vent your emotions.

Bai Jiu has a great influence on him in his heart, and now he has to help him divert his attention as soon as possible so that he can forget Bai Jiu.

Mrs. Han took Wu Bingbing towards her son.

Wu Bingbing looked at Han Yixiao who practiced swords. The love in his heart grew wild. Before, he just missed him in his mind. Now he sees him in front of him. The handsome sword dance is indescribable excitement and emotion. Excited, he moved quickly and couldn't see his face clearly, but just seeing his tall Wei'an figure, he was already obsessed with him.

Han Yixiao quickly danced the sword in his hand. One turned around, and the long sword swung out quickly, just in the direction of Wu Bingbing.

Wu Bingbing scared her face pale and screamed, "Ah!" He fell to the ground in shock.

Although Han Yixiao's sword was swung out quickly, he kept it in front of Wu Bingbing.

Wu Bingbing looked at the sword in front of him with a chill, his heart thumped violently.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Han immediately stepped forward and asked: "Bing Bing, are you okay!" and pulled her up.

Wu Bingbing shook his head: "Bingbing is fine."

Mrs. Han glared unwisely at her son and reprimanded: "Xiaoer, since he wants to practice swords, why not go to the martial arts field in the backyard and do something in his own yard. What do people who come and go hurt when they come and go? It hurt Bingbing by mistake, how dangerous!"

Wu Bingbing quickly grabbed the old lady's arm and said softly: "Gang Niang, you must blame Brother Xiao, Bing Bing is not good, the wrong place to stand, disturbed Brother Xiao practicing sword."

The mother stared at her son: "Look at Bing Bing how sensible."

Han Yixiao looked at the woman in front of him. Although he was beautiful, his heart was calm, because in his heart, Bai Jiu was the most beautiful. The other women could not compare with her.

When Mrs. Han saw her son's eyes fell on Wu Bingbing, she immediately pulled Wu Bingbing and asked, "Xiao'er, can you still recognize her?"

Han Yixiao really has no impression of the girl in front of him, but he just heard his mother call her Bingbing, and she called her mother godmother. In his impression, the mother has a mother daughter, the daughter of her friend, who lives in South, called Wu Bingbing, could this girl be her.

So Han Yixiao said: "She is the daughter of Uncle Wu's family! My mother's daughter."

Mrs. Han smiled: "I didn't expect Xiao Er to remember Bing Bing. Bing Bing, Xiao Er still remembered you. It's really rare. It seems that our Bing Bing is in Xiao Er's heart and has a deep impression."

Wu Bingbing's heart is both shy and happy. I haven't seen him for so many years. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to remember himself and recognize himself. I'm really happy. Does this also mean that Brother Xiao also has his own heart?With this idea, the joy in my heart is even stronger.

Han Yixiao did not say much. In fact, although she was impressed with Wu Bingbing, she had never appeared in her mind in recent years. After seeing her, she remembered that she knew a girl named Wu Bingbing.

"Is Uncle Wu's Uncle Wu coming to Kyoto?" Han Yixiao asked lightly and put away the sword.

The mother smiled and looked at her son with a deep expression in her eyes: "Your uncle Uncle Wu has not come, but Bingbing came by herself, because she has never been to Kyoto, so she is curious and wants to see it, but also miss you brother Xiao. Come and see you."

"Gang Niang!" Wu Bingbing screamed, and Madam Han's words made her shy little face blush, but this is indeed the main reason for her coming to Kyoto, because she wanted to see Han Yixiao, so she was taken away. Dare not look up at Han Yixiao.

Han Yixiao, as always, was cold and alienated, saying lightly: "Bing Bing, you are welcome to come to Hanfu as a guest."

Wu Bingbing shyly said: "Thank you Brother Xiao."

Mrs. Han smiled happily: "Xiao Er finally said something that made people happy. Bingbing, this time in Kyoto, you must live longer, it is best to stay alive."

The meaning of Mrs. Han is obvious.

How could Wu Bingbing not understand it!Head down shyly.

However, Han Yixiao frowned unconsciously. He didn't like his mother to directly match him with Wu Bingbing. In his heart, he only regarded Bingbing as his sister.

Mrs. Han was displeased when she saw her son frowning, knowing that he must be because of Bai Jiu and could not accept Bing Bing, but no matter what, she also had to match him and Bing Bing, so that Bai Jiu completely disappeared from his heart, let her Can't affect his son.

"Bing Bing, today Qiangan and your brother Xiao will take care of the wind and dust for you. Ganniang has let the people go down to prepare and let them cook the dishes you like. I don't know if the taste of Bingbing has changed?" Han Laofu People looked at Wu Bingbing's eyes full of love.

Wu Bingbing said softly: "Thank you goddess, Bingbing still tastes the same as before."

"That's good. Xiaoer, you and Bingbing haven't seen each other for so many years. Bingbing has finally come to Kyoto. You have to make time to spend time with her and take her to the streets." My mother couldn't wait to match them.

Han Yixiao said calmly and calmly: "Mother, there is still a lot of things to be done in the children's military camp. I am afraid that I can't make time for the time being. The children will go to the military camp now."

My mother's face immediately became displeased and scolded: "Stop, Xiao'er, you are so ridiculous. Bingbing came to our Han Palace on the first day today and came to see you with joy, how can you be so rude? !I have to go to the military barracks. I am not allowed to go anywhere today."

"Mother, the children's barracks really have things left untreated." Han Yixiao tried to explain.

The mother said displeasedly: "How important things must be handled today, and stay in the government today, no place to go." How could the mother not understand the son's thoughts!He brought Bingbing to him. He also saw Bingbing’s reaction to him, knowing that Bingbing had that heart for him, so he deliberately escaped. If it was really important, he would go to the barracks as soon as possible. He never came back. It was not because Bai Jiu was in his heart, making him unable to accept other women. Even if she could not, she would make him forget Bai Jiu and Bingbing together.

Wu Bingbing saw that the old lady was angry, and immediately said softly: "Gang Niang, you must not be angry. Presumably Brother Xiao really has important things to deal with. The things in the military camp can be big or small, in case something goes wrong. That’s not good, Bingbing will disturb for a few days in Hanfu, so there will be time to eat with Brother Xiao, don’t worry today."

Mrs. Han distressed Wu Bingbing's hand and praised, "It's such a nice boy, Xiaoer, look at Bing Bing, how generous you are! You can't make Bing Bing unhappy, or your mother won't spare you ."

"Mother, how dare children make Bingbing unhappy, Bingbing can come to visit Hanfu, the children really welcome." Han Yixiao said calmly, he really welcomed Wu Bingbing to visit Hanfu, because she was the mother's daughter , My own sister.

"It's so good, Bingbing came from the south, it's not easy, even if there is something to be busy, I will wait until after lunch." Mother said in a mild tone.I was really touched when I thought of Wu Bingbing, a girl in a carriage, with a maid, and several family members who came to see them from so far away.She is no better than Bai Jiu, she can martial arts, and she is a girl who runs through rivers and lakes.

She remembered that Bingbing was very timid when she was a child, and she was crying. She was a very weak girl, and such a weak and weak girl dare to go so far away from her parents, presumably because of Xiao Er in her heart. She likes it and gave her this courage!

Since the mother said so, if you insist on refusing, it will make Wu Bingbing very embarrassed. Han Yixiao is helpless and can only nod and agree: "Yes, mother!"

Mother smiled happily.

Seeing Han Yixiao agree, Wu Bingbing's heart rose with infinite joy.

After lunch was prepared, three people sat around the round table, full of rich dishes, which shows the old lady's hospitality for the arrival of Wu Bingbing.

The old lady looked at her son and said, "Xiao'er, don't just eat by yourself, give Bingbing Jiacai!"

Although Han Yixiao didn't want to do this, he really didn't want to make his mother angry when he was eating, but he helped Wu Bingbing to get some food.

The mother was very happy after seeing it, and felt that it would not take long for her son to forget Bai Jiu.

And Han Yixiao's dish made Wu Bingbing's heart blooming and shy, and she was clever and sensible, and helped Han Yixiao with a dish: "Brother Xiao, you also eat."

Mrs. Han looked happy and couldn't close her mouth. It seemed that Bingbing really liked Xiaoer. Although she was a timid and shy girl, she still expressed her admiration boldly in the face of Xiaoer.

And Han Yixiao looked at Wu Bingbing in the bowl to grab the dish, there was a trace of displeasure, he did not like to be close to people, especially women, sitting in this seat today, there are many women in their arms, but every time they meet He was very disgusted to the woman who approached actively. Although she knew that Wu Bingbing was different from that kind of woman, she was the mother’s dry daughter and regarded her as her sister, but when she took the initiative to show her favor, he still resisted, except Bai Jiu, he can't accept any woman's closeness, even if it's just a sandwich, he will feel uncomfortable.

So Han Yixiao put the dishes in the bowl back into Wu Bingbing's bowl: "Bingbing, you eat more."

Han Yixiao's consideration makes Wu Bingbing shy. She did not see the alienation and displeasure flashed in Han Yixiao's eyes. It was only because Han Yixiao treated her well, so she was very happy: "Thank you Brother Xiao."

And Mrs. Han knew her son very well. The son clipped the food that Bingbing pinned to him back, indicating that his son repelled Bingbing, remembering that when Bai Jiu first came to dinner at home, Xiaoer pinned her. She also served Xiaoer with vegetables, and Xiaoer ate without hesitation. Although she didn’t know that Bai Jiu was a girl at the time, her unprepared mentality was unprecedented for others.The worry in the old lady's heart slowly rose again.

While Han Yixiao accompanied her mother and Wu Bingbing to eat at this time, she unconsciously jumped out of the figure of Bai Jiu and looked at a piece of beef she was holding. She couldn't help but think of her first time to eat at the Han Palace. At that time, he noticed that her chopsticks deliberately avoided beef and mutton every time she ate food. At that time, she did not expect that she would be picky eaters. After all, most men do not eat too much, and as a general, they will not refuse beef. Lamb, only if she prefers other dishes!After all, a lot of dishes were made that day, as hearty as this table.

But when he was at Bianguan, he knew that she was very picky. At Bianguan, they sometimes ate with the soldiers, sometimes they ate with her in the tent, and there were often green vegetables in the dishes that Bianguan ate. She picked out the greens and put them in his bowl. She didn’t eat beef and mutton either. She said the beef and mutton had a savory smell, which she didn’t like.

Bianguan’s conditions are very difficult. If she is a girl, if she doesn’t eat meat, she’s afraid that her body won’t be able to eat it. Sometimes, she lied to her that the beef and mutton made by Huotou Jun was delicious, and she didn’t have any smell at all. Under his vigorous praise, she picked up a piece of beef from the plate and put it in her mouth, but her brow immediately scowled and said she lied to her.

In fact, people who like to eat beef and mutton really can't taste anything, but she always says that the taste is very bad, and she wants to spit it out. At that time, she kissed her lips and forced her to swallow the meat.

At that time she was ashamed and bitter with a small face. She was really cute. That day was the first time she had eaten beef. With her repeated persuasion, she ate several pieces.

Now thinking about her small appearance at the time, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Wu Bingbing saw that Han Yixiao's lips and lips had a seemingly absent smile, and his heartbeat unconsciously missed a half-beat. He smiled and looked good and charming. From the meeting to the present, he was cold and indifferent, a little alienated, But now he suddenly has a hint of smile, is he helping him pick vegetables, he likes it!Thinking of this, Wu Bingbing felt that he had the courage to see him add a piece of beef, thinking he would love beef!Chopsticks immediately reached the plate with beef, and helped him put a piece of beef into the bowl: "Brother Xiao, you practice sword every day, you must consume a lot of physical strength, eat more beef, and add physical strength."

Seeing an extra piece of beef in the bowl, Han Yixiao's brow frowned again, and immediately clipped it into Wu Bingbing's bowl: "Bing Bing, eat it!"

Han Yixiao's refusal made her mother very unhappy. Mrs. Han didn't fail to see the smile in her son's eyes, it must be related to Bai Jiu!And his repeated rejection of Wu Bingbing's kindness really made her very unhappy.

But looking at Wu Bingbing's face, there was no embarrassment or displeasure, but there was still a trace of shyness. Presumably, Xiao Er had not caught her because she was disgusted. She should have mistakenly thought that Xiao Er cared about her before she caught her. of.

Wu Bingbing thought so at this time. Because of her love and admiration for Han Yixiao, she did not dare to look directly at Han Yixiao, so she also missed the displeasure and frowning on his face.

Although the mother was dissatisfied with her son's behavior, but in front of Wu Bingbing, it was not easy to expose it, so she had to endure it.

During a meal, the three thought about each other, and the old lady was a little unhappy.

But Han Yixiao is tasteless, and the center of her mind is filled with Bai Jiu. No matter what she does, her figure is lingering.

Uninformed Wu Bingbing was very happy to eat, because I could see Brother Xiao who was thinking about it all these years, and accompanied Brother Xiao to eat together. It felt like a dream, and I was very excited.

After lunch, Mrs. Han let people take Wu Bingbing to go to rest first.

Han Yixiao was called to the house by his mother.

How could Han Yixiao not know what his mother called him to do?But now he really can't accept other women, so he can only choose to escape: "Mother, what do you have to say to let the baby come over? There is still a lot to do in the children's military camp!"

"You don't use military matters to tarnish your mother." Mrs. Han dissatisfied, looked at her son and asked: "I ask you, why did you treat Bingbing like that while eating, she kindly gave you vegetables, why? Don’t eat it? Return the dishes? Bingbing doesn’t understand you, doesn’t know what you mean, she grew up watching you grow up, don’t you know what you’re thinking? Are you still thinking about Baijiu? Have you forgotten that her father is our enemy? Have you forgotten how your father died? Are you not going to avenge your father?"

Faced with his mother’s questioning and reprimanding, he didn’t blame his mother. She knew that her mother’s dissatisfaction with Bai Jiu was because of her Mo’s daughter’s identity and her mother’s hatred for Mo, so she understood her mother’s anger at this time, but he really couldn’t Accept Wu Bingbing.

"Mother, the child knows that it is impossible for him and Bai Jiu, so the child has no longer expected anything. The child has let go of her, and will never have anything to do with her again. Please be assured that the child will not forget his father's hatred. , Will not forget that Dad was killed by Mo Changxiao, so the baby will definitely help Dad get revenge."

The mother nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you just remember it. Since you know that it is impossible with Bai Jiu, then forget her completely, even if you can't think about it, it can be seen that Bingbing likes you very much. She appeared at this time. Exactly, you can transfer your feelings for Bai Jiu to Bing Bing and marry her as soon as possible. You will be very happy."
