In the post house outside Chang'an City, Xu Tianlin sat alone in the courtyard, pouring a glass of wine in his hand, looking up at the moon in the night sky.
Behind him came the sound of footsteps.
Princess Yidu, accompanied by several maidservants, quietly walked in the direction of Xu Tianlin.
When she was more than a foot away from Xu Tianlin, Princess Yidu stood up and whispered to the maidservant beside her: "You wait here." ” "Yes, Your Highness Princess."
The maidservants bowed down and bowed in response.
Princess Yidu slowly walked to Xu Tianlin's approach, her voice was gentle, and she asked softly: "Brother Tianlin, why are you drinking and admiring the moon here alone?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianlin hurriedly turned around and bowed to Princess Yidu: "Minister Xu Tianlin meets Her Royal Highness Princess Yidu." ” "Brother Tianlin, why are you so polite."
Princess Yidu had a hint of reproach in her voice, and stretched out her hand to help Xu Tianlin up.
Xu Tianlin retreated, got up on his own, deliberately kept a distance from Princess Yidu, and stood aside with his head down.
Princess Yidu's eyes showed displeasure, she took a step closer and reached out to hold the wine glass in Xu Tianlin's hand.
Xu Tianlin's eyes were slightly stunned, and he looked at Princess Yidu hesitantly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you" Princess Yidu's wrist tried hard to snatch the wine glass from Xu Tianlin's hand.
Xu Tianlin had no choice but to hand the wine glass to Princess Yidu.
Princess Yidu took the wine glass, raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass, and reached out to touch the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and coughed lightly: "This wine is so strong."
Brother Tianlin, pour me another glass.
As he spoke, he handed the wine glass back to Xu Tianlin.
Xu Tianlin took the wine glass and bowed to salute: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you want to drink, the minister will order someone to change a light glass for you." ” "No, I just want to drink the same wine as Brother Tianlin."
Princess Yidu stopped her, and looked directly at Xu Tianlin without shying away from it.
Xu Tianlin looked down and bowed again: "The minister ordered someone to take another cup, please wait for a while." ” "No, you don't."
Princess Yidu spoke up again to stop: "I just want to share one with Brother Tianlin." ” "That's not going to work."
Xu Tianlin's voice respectfully stopped: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a daughter, how can she share a cup with Weichen." ” "You and I will be husband and wife sooner or later, eat at the same table in the future, sleep on the same bed, and get along day and night for a long time, do you want Brother Tianlin to be polite to me like this" Princess Yidu said, her eyes revealing a look of yearning.
Xu Tianlin knelt on the ground when he heard this, his voice was flat but deferential: "Her Royal Highness the princess is wrong with this.
In Weichen's mind, the princess will always be a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she deign to be the same as a layman like a minister" The "layman" Princess Yidu saw that Xu Tianlin's attitude was too humble and deliberately alienated herself repeatedly, and her eyes gradually became filled with a layer of anger: "Yi'er is willing to be a layman in Tianlin's brother's heart."
But you let me go all the way, you deliberately avoided me, and you didn't want to share the table with me when you dined, and talk to you, you always talked about him left and right, in the heart of Brother Tianlin, I'm afraid I'm not even as good as a layman."
Xu Tianlin lowered his body, and his voice was still respectful and polite: "It's rude, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to surrender the crime." ” Princess Yidu bowed down and stretched out her hand to support Xu Tianlin again, her voice was meek: "Brother Tianlin is my future husband, and we don't have to be so polite between husband and wife." ” Xu Tianlin dodged Princess Yidu's hand slightly, looked down, and arched his hand and said: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the minister does not dare to disrespect." ” Princess Yidu slowly withdrew her hand stretched out in the air, and asked in a questioning tone: "One sentence to condemn, one sentence to don't dare, is it possible that you and I will become relatives in the future, and Brother Tianlin will also talk to Yi'er like this, which is what ordinary couples do?"
Xu Tianlin bowed to the ground when he heard this, and still respected as before: "Her Royal Highness the princess descended to the minister, and the minister was flattered, so he should bow to Her Royal Highness the princess, this is the duty of a courtier, how dare the minister exceed it." ” "Brother Tianlin, you deliberately alienated Yi'er and groveled to me, you are clearly complaining about Yi'er."
Princess Yidu listened to Xu Tianlin's obedient words, and felt angry in her heart: "You are resentful that I didn't speak for you, preventing my father from marrying me to you, and taking Xiaoyu and Nanzhao, right?"
As soon as Xu Tianlin heard the words marriage and marriage, his eyes instantly gloomed.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Princess Yidu, his eyes full of doubt and sadness.
Princess Yidu looked at Xu Tianlin in a daze, watching the look in his eyes change from sadness to questioning, from questioning to dark anger.
Princess Yidu's heart gradually panicked, and she tried her best to argue for herself: "Brother Tianlin, do you think that these are done by Yi'er, I only learned about it when I received the holy decree in Yizhou, and I was also shocked like Brother Tianlin."
Therefore, Yi'er didn't know these things in advance, and if I knew, I would definitely intercede with my father for you. ” A cold smile hung on the corner of Xu Tianlin's mouth, and his tone was indifferent and sarcastic: "Since it wasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess, why are you in a hurry to explain and clarify to me?"
Princess Yidu walked in front of Xu Tianlin, squatted down, stared at Xu Tianlin with a pair of bright eyes, and asked loudly: "You don't believe me at all, the way you looked at me just now was clearly suspicious of me." ” The dark anger in Xu Tianlin's eyes gradually became prominent, and his voice became gloomy in vain: "It is clear that Her Royal Highness the princess has a ghost in her heart." ” "You, you talk nonsense.
I really don't know anything about this.
Princess Yidu stood up angrily, still arguing for herself.
Xu Tianlin raised his head slightly, looked at Princess Yidu with an angry face, his voice was cold, and he said unhurriedly: "After His Royal Highness King Shu entrusted you to the General's Mansion, my mother informed me that she was going to ask the emperor for marriage.
Xu Tianlin said this, there was a trace of anger in his eyes, and he continued to tell word by word: "Her Royal Highness the princess lives in my general's mansion, and it is you who give the marriage down, if my mother does not get the consent of Her Royal Highness the princess, how dare she dare to write a book, if she does not get the help of His Royal Highness King Shu, how can this holy decree of marriage be issued so quickly, His Royal Highness King Shu and Princess Yidu have been close since childhood, how can he not inquire about your wishes about your marriage, and Her Royal Highness the princess still wants to say that she knows nothing about this matter?"
Princess Yidu was already weak-hearted, and listening to Xu Tianlin's repeated questions, the panic in her heart was even worse.
There were tears in her eyes, and her voice was choked: "Brother Tianlin, I, I admit that I did know about the marriage in advance.
That's why I didn't object to my father's marriage, and that's because, because I like you, is it wrong for me to want to be with my beloved?"
"In order to pursue your own happiness, do you want to destroy the happiness of others?"
Xu Tianlin asked unceremoniously and coldly.
The promise of the third life is not lightly promised :
