I wish you two lifetimes

As soon as Liu Chupei walked out, she saw a head poking around beside her.

"Come out, I see you."

At this time, the person behind the wall came out, her eyes were red, she looked at Liu Chupei and didn't know what to say for a while, "Ah... sister..."

"Xiu Ming, why did you think of Sister today?" Liu Chupei rubbed her head and squatted down.

Xiu Ming is her biological sister, who is only six or seven years old now.

"The queen mother said... my sister... is gone, I'm a little worried." Liu Xiuming stood aside, feeling aggrieved.

"Isn't this coming back? What are you afraid of? Elder sister just went out of the palace to play for a few days, and it's not like you don't know that elder sister likes to play out of the palace the most." Liu Chupei patted her head and shook her head. Panic, Xiu Ming is too young to know this.

"Sister, are you going to get married soon?" Liu Xiuming threw himself into her arms, "Xiu Ming can't bear you." What Xiu Ming loves most is this elder sister who always brings her delicious food.

"Where did you hear that?"

"I overheard my mother talking to Sister Yu that day..."

"It's not that I won't come back. Elder Sister will choose a place where you will enter from the palace to be the Princess Mansion, so you can come out to play often." Liu Chupei rubbed her head.

"Sister, is your husband good-looking?"

Liu Chupei chuckled, "Where did you learn these words, you know what is good-looking at a young age?"

"Xiu Ming naturally knows. Sister Chu Yu's husband is very good-looking, even better than the prince's brother and the second emperor's brother." Liu Xiuming scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "If Xiuming finds a husband in the future, he will also find him. A man who is as good-looking as the emperor's brother-in-law."

"Liu Xiuming!" Liu Chupei poked her on the head, "Where did you learn this! You are only so young and you want to get married? Are you ashamed? Believe it or not, I will tell the queen mother."

"Sister! Don't!" Liu Xiuming was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said coquettishly, "Sister, I was wrong, don't tell the queen mother."

"If you don't want me to tell you, then be good." Liu Chupei patted her on the head, "Let's go, go to Sister's, I'll ask them to make you some pastries."

Liu Chupei led Liu Xiuming and walked forward.

"Sister, you haven't told me yet. Is your husband good-looking?" Liu Xiuming was led by her and looked at her curiously.

Thinking of Yan Zhi, Liu Chupei couldn't stop the smile on his face, "He——he looks good."

"Better than the prince's brother?"

"nature!"

"Better looking than Second Emperor Brother?"!
"nature."

"That's even better-looking than Brother Ah Heng?"

"Naturally..."

"Is it more beautiful than the emperor's brother-in-law?"

Liu Chupei...

"Why don't you just ask Brother-in-law Huang?"

"It's not surprising that there are such good-looking people as Huang's brother-in-law." Liu Xiuming looked like a little adult.

"You know this, but I'll tell you, it's even more beautiful than the emperor's brother-in-law." Liu Chupei was naturally very proud.

Liu Xiuming's eyes lit up, "Really?" She tugged at her sleeves excitedly, "Sister! Sister! I want to meet him!"

"Let's meet another day. I'll let you meet another day." Liu Chupei took her hand, and the voices of the two echoed along the way...

"Sister, how did you meet Huang's brother-in-law?"

"It was on the Lantern Festival, and he gave me two lanterns at the Lantern Festival."

"Sister, is there a lotus lantern?"

"Yeah... wait, how do you know?"

"I went to sister's bedroom yesterday and accidentally... broke the lamp!"

"Liu Xiuming! Are you looking for death!"

……

Liu Chupei waited for a few days, but there was no news from Yanzhi. She looked at her right hand and sighed silently. Even the wound had completely healed. He didn't give him any news, not even a letter. Never wrote to her.

She also heard people say that Tuo Balue fled back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his father was very angry. He was waiting, and he gave more than [-] days of time. If the Northern Wei Dynasty did not send someone to apologize, then the father would Send troops to crusade.

The second brother came to see her yesterday, and said that the father had long wanted to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this time he just found an excuse for Tuo Balue to kill people wantonly.

He still wanted to go to war, saying that he would wait until after she reached Jili.

The Jiji Ceremony was confirmed to be on April [-]th, and the palace became more and more busy. Posts were sent out from family to family, and the palace was preparing for the Jiji Ceremony. The biggest happy event in Jiankang City.

However, the master of Jiji Li was not happy, there was still a few days until Jiji Li, but there was no news at all, once the Jiji Li was over, the emperor would give her a marriage, she didn't want to marry Xie Heng.

Perhaps Xie Heng could also feel her helplessness and annoyance, and he never came to look for her again, but from time to time he would ask someone to bring in some interesting toys from outside, which had been piled up in the west courtyard by Liu Chupei all the time, and never went to Seen.

……

Finally, the day of the Jiji Ceremony came, the emperor was very happy, and held a whole day's water banquet in Jiankang City. Everyone said that Princess Linhuai was the most favored princess in the palace. If anyone could marry her, That is the glory and wealth of a lifetime.

Although this son-in-law is a bit of an upside-down to put it bluntly, but that is being the emperor's son-in-law, who wouldn't like it.

Everyone focused on Xie's family. The son-in-law of Princess Linhuai must be the third son of Xie's family. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. The status of Xie's family was more than enough for a princess.

Everyone is envious and jealous.

At the moment, everyone in the palace is extremely busy.

"Princess, what are you still thinking about?" Seeing her sullen look, Shan Nu was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. "Princess, don't be distracted. There are so many people, the princess must not lose her sense of proportion."

Seeing that her eyes were still blank, Shanu called in her ear: "Princess!"

"What are you doing?" Liu Chupei was taken aback by her, "Why are you talking so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you."

But princess, you didn't listen at all.Xiang Nu was very helpless, "Has the princess memorized the etiquette? I will recite it to you again."

"No, no, no." Liu Chupei hurriedly interrupted her. She had been reciting for two days, and Xiang Nu had been chattering beside her, which annoyed her to death. She just wanted to be quiet now.

"Princess, Your Majesty said that after the Princess finishes bathing, I will go to your Majesty's."

"Understood." Liu Chupei looked at herself in the mirror, her thoughts had already flown elsewhere, "Anu, do you have any news?"

Shanu paused, she didn't expect the princess to still be thinking about this matter, "Princess, there is still no news, princess, don't think about it anymore, the most important thing right now is the ceremony."

Xiangdong walked in, and put the sweet porridge brought in in front of Liu Chupei, "Princess, you should eat some first, to fill your stomach, it will take more than half a day after the ceremony, and you won't be able to bear it by then."

Liu Chupei was helpless, she took a few mouthfuls at random, and then asked Xiangdong to take the bowl away. In the past few days, she has no appetite to eat, and she feels a little nauseous when she sees it.

"The princess eats so much again." Xiang Nu frowned, "Sister Xiangdong, why don't you make some small glutinous rice cakes for the princess, she's afraid she can only eat those now."

"Princess, princess, the empress is urging." Another young maid walked in quickly, and seeing that Liu Chupei's makeup and hair were not finished, she went out and informed the maid who came to report.

"Xiangdong, draw me a red lotus today." Liu Chupei looked at herself in the mirror, she thought that at the Xie family's birthday banquet that day, she was also a red lotus, and she saw him who had been searching for a long time but hadn't been found yet. .

This time, maybe she can see him too.

After dressing up, Liu Chupei walked out. Today she was dressed in palace attire, which was a bit cumbersome and heavy, and it was a bit laborious to walk. She walked slowly towards Hanzhang Hall.

Today's empress is extremely energetic, and the emaciation of the previous days is completely invisible today, "Mother's empress." Liu Chupei stood in the hall of Hanzhang and made a big salute.

"Ape..." The queen's eyes were filled with tears, her voice was a little suppressed, "Get up, it's really fast, our Ape has grown up so much, and we have become big girls who are going to marry, after today you will be ready I'm no longer a child, don't act recklessly like before, understand?"

Liu Chupei felt sore. After today, she would no longer be able to act like a child in her arms, "Mother, Apei knows."

"Have you memorized today's etiquette?" Wang was a little worried, "Don't forget it at a critical moment."

"Queen mother, my son is not good at other things, but his mind is very good, but he has the ability to remember with a photograph, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Today and after the ceremony, your father should give you a marriage directly. Apei, listen to your mother, just follow your father's wishes. It is absolutely irrefutable. Your father's decision cannot be questioned."

Liu Chupei's heart skipped a beat, and she sank. Although she had expected it a long time ago, she still couldn't accept it when she heard what her mother said. Is it settled today?Marriage... I'm afraid it's not the marriage she wants... In other words, where are you?Why don't you come.

"Yes……"

"The queen mother knows that you may not want to, but this is all about the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, not to mention that you are a princess of a country, and the marriage is not up to you." Wang put her in her arms, "All today You have to swallow your grievances, no matter what, you are not allowed to cry today, understand?"

"I won't cry, how could I cry..." Liu Chupei held back tears, "Queen Mother, it's getting late, let's go."

"it is good……"

Jiji Ceremony is first performed in the Taizu Temple in the city, and it can only be performed after worshiping the ancestors.

The procession in the palace walked out of the palace in a mighty manner. The emperor sat in the front seat, followed by the empress and Liu Chupei, and behind them were the princes, concubines and princesses.

Along the way, everyone knelt and worshiped, and Liu Chupei frowned at the voices one after another. These are the people of the Song Dynasty. They are attached to the emperor, but the emperor they revere is about to bring them into dire straits.

Liu Chupei looked around, trying to find that familiar figure.

"Ape!" The queen looked straight ahead, dignified and elegant, and whispered to remind Liu Chupei, "Don't look around."

"Mother, he won't come." Liu Chupei looked away and sighed slightly, "I've been waiting for him for half a month, but he never showed up. He knows my feelings for him, so even if he doesn't like me, Why didn't you explain it clearly to me? I, Liu Chupei, am also the one who can pick it up and let it go. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can tell me, but he never gave me a single word."

"Ape, don't think about it anymore. I'm afraid that if you lose your mind, you will offend your father." Wang patted her hand and comforted her. Now that she is in the public, she can't say much.

Liu Chupei looked at Luanjia who was walking ahead, took a deep breath, her gaze was firm, she Liu Chupei is not such a person who gives up easily, she has to fight for everything, isn't she?

Liu Chupei lowered her head, clutching her sleeve tightly.

In other words, I'm sorry, I'm a little selfish, I just want to get what I want, if I don't do it, I will regret it in this life.
