Manifest Marriage I

In June, the rain continued.

The ministers above the Golden Palace were arguing fiercely about the disasters in various places. Li Shiqi restrained the urge to beat them all up. Just as he was about to speak, a terrible palpitation hit him, and his face suddenly turned pale.

All the civil and military officials fell silent when they saw this, and the chief supervisor said worriedly: "Your Majesty..."

After a period of dizziness passed, Li Shiqi raised his head bravely: "I'm fine, all the gentlemen will continue."

He almost made His Majesty angry, how dare the courtiers talk any more?All honestly outrageous.

At the end of the morning court, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, His Majesty was in good health, and taught everyone to loosen their tense heartstrings slowly.The emperor's bedroom was huge and empty, Li Qiqi frowned and asked for no reason: "Where's Duanduan?"

The personal palace maid who was waiting on the side said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, Dean Shen led the students of the academy to go on a study tour, and they have not returned yet."

"You haven't come back yet." Li Shiqi asked again, "Where's Brother Jing?"

"Mrs. Zhou is ill, and the Patriarch is staying at home with her to recuperate."

Li Shiqi said "Oh", but he was still uneasy: "It's been a few days, why hasn't Duanduan come back?"

Her behavior was really abnormal, so the maid had no choice but to patiently explain to her how far Xiangnan was from Xunyang.

The study tour of Baihe Academy changed from last year to twice a year, one to Zhanqiu City, and the other to go to any place in Dazhou.Increase knowledge and broaden horizons.Lian Zhou was going to go too, but fell ill the day before his departure.Li Shiqi listened to the maidservant's words, but couldn't understand it: "Call Xiuyu to come here."

"Yes……"

Just after a class, Li Xiuyu was called away by her mother. She was terrified and said what mistake she had made. She hadn't entered the bedroom yet, her feet were unsteady and she fell face to the ground, her forehead was covered with blood.

Li Shiqi originally wanted to call his daughter to come over for peace of mind, but he didn't expect to see the blood on his face, which made his eyes hurt.

The crown princess was injured, and there was a lot of commotion in the palace.Li Shiqi had to take care of his daughter, so he lost his mind for a while, and his uneasiness gradually expanded.

Seven days later, the teachers and students of Baihe Academy returned home.

At the gate of the city, His Majesty welcomes you personally.Those who didn't welcome the people they wanted to see were startled by the plain clothes and white banners all over their eyes.

Walking in the front was Shen Duan's elder sister, holding a black spirit tablet in both hands, followed by a coffin.The students wept unceasingly, and when they saw Her Majesty the Empress, they knelt down tremblingly.

The dean of Baihe Women's College, the master of the Great Zhou Emperor, died in a mountain torrent to save his students.The last one she rescued was a seven-year-old orphan girl who kept yelling to worship Shen Duan as her teacher.

Shen Duan liked her study very much, and agreed to accept her as a student as long as she passed the academy examination.

The silent black coffin was stared at silently. Her Majesty suppressed tears and asked angrily, "Tell me, who is lying in the coffin?"

No one dared to answer a word.

All kinds of reactions showed that person, Li Shiqi sneered, and lifted the coffin in anger!

"Your Majesty must not—"

The heavy coffin lid was pushed away by her, and she stared blankly at the lifeless woman lying inside, Li Shiqi's eyes were red: "This is not her, this is definitely not her, tell me, where did you hide my dean?" ? Tell me!"

Zhou Jing took a step forward to inspect, only glanced at it, and nodded weakly at Lianzhou.

Li Xiuyu's forehead injury has not healed, she cried out "Mother", and fainted in Lianzhou's arms due to over-excitement.

"This is not your mother... Li Xiuyu, this is not!"

It was June, and Dean Shen died young. The emperor was very sad when he heard about it.

Another year of miserable wind and rain.

Shen Duan's death made Li Shiqi depressed and made the empress dowager depressed. The couple of Li's family buried their pain silently in the deep palace.

"Seventeen, I won't abandon you."

In the middle of the night, Li Shiqi fell drunk in the bedroom, muttering sadly: "Liar..."

She scolded angrily, and threw the empty wine jar: "Liar! Shen Duan, how dare you lie to me!!"

The love words that were not considered love words in the past are still in my ears, but things are right and people are different.

"I'm still the one who was left behind..."

She collapsed on the ground, reeking of alcohol, speaking sad or angry words, sometimes even she herself didn't know what she said.Waiting for the dawn alone with my thoughts in my heart.

It was also in this year that Zhou Jing and Lian Zhou adopted an heir from the family in despair and cultivated them carefully.

The following year, in June, was the anniversary of Shen Duan's death.

His Majesty Zhou

In the golden palace full of people, he sneered three times.

After all, it was still capricious.

Li Shiqi exchanged her willfulness for Shen Duan's tomb to be moved into the imperial mausoleum to be buried with her in the future.

In August, Zhou Jing resigned from office, please resign eight times, Li Shiqiyun.

Lianzhou took over the duties of the dean and continued to follow Shen Duan's unfinished journey. With ten years of continuous implementation, Dazhou Women's School gradually entered the vision of poor women.

Li Shiqi loved Shen Duan all his life, hated Shen Duan all his life, and finally couldn't let go of his love-hate dilemma.

The 41-year-old Majesty sat alone on the stone steps wearing the wedding dress of his youth, besides the grown-up princess Li Xiuyu, and the orphan girl Shen Duan rescued last before she died.

Now the orphan girl has the stature of an adult, worships Lianzhou as her teacher, becomes her student, and becomes the master of the younger generation of Baihe Academy.She did what Shen Duan hoped for, and it was at this time that Li Shiqi's grudge against her disappeared.

She looked at the woman who indirectly killed her sweetheart with a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "I want to know your name."

"To evade, Weichen didn't have a name at first, but she gave me my name. She said that there must be an idiot in life to be worthy of living. Either because of love, or because of ambition. So she gave me the last name, Give me the character Chi as a name. Considering that I am a girl, I changed Chi to Chi."

"Shen Chi..." Li Shiqi had just turned [-] for the emperor, and her temples were all white. She asked with a smile, "Did she tell you whether she was infatuated with love or infatuated with ambition in her life?"

"She said she had both."

"Really..." His Majesty stopped talking.

Before Shen Chi retreated, Li Shiqi suddenly raised his head, his eyes burst into an astonishing light: "If you are half ashamed of her life-sacrificing grace to you in this life, Xiuyu will kill you."

"Weichen, remember."

On that day, His Majesty summoned the Patriarch and his wife and talked for a long time, crying and laughing, and finally passed away at dusk.

The deep palace wept endlessly.

Zhou Jing cast the soul-attracting curse learned from Feng Qingna, using his own blood as a guide, led the suddenly weakened living soul in the magic weapon to follow Li Shiqi's soul.

Engrave love in the soul, forge the cause and effect of the next life.

All the old people left, and in the same year, the head of the family was located in Riqingzheng, completely abandoning the world of fame and wealth, and followed Lianzhou to travel to the four directions to teach and preach.

People often see Mrs. Ning running around with a white fox in her arms, and she refuses to touch the fox when others come.It is also often seen that the always young and beautiful head of the family talks and laughs side by side with his aging wife.

It took Lianzhou 50 years to change the address in the world, from Mrs. Day to Mrs. Ning, and from Mrs. Ning to Zunshi.

Fifty years later, in Dazhou, there are many female schools, and even a three-year-old girl can know the thousand-character text while walking on the road.

A private school in the countryside.

The white-haired woman was still giving lectures on the high platform. The sun shone through the window on her snowy hair. She smiled at the people outside the door and continued to focus on the scroll.

An hour later, Lianzhou sat there exhaustedly, watching the young faces in front of her salute and recede, she collapsed tiredly in the arms of her sweetheart.

"Today's sunset looks so beautiful..."

Zhou Jing kissed her cheek that was no longer young and bright: "We can watch together."

"I can't see it anymore..." Lianzhou smiled and stroked her unparalleled eyes: "Ah Jing, am I still beautiful?"

"Beautiful. Zhou Zhou is in my heart, no matter how long it takes, she is always the most beautiful."

"Aren't you lying?"

"Do not lie to you……"

"Nonsense..." Lianzhou sneered at her: "Aren't you lying to me too often? But I like being deceived by you."

"No, Zhouzhou, I didn't lie to you."

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and was coaxed by the woman: "It's okay, I don't blame you for being so bad. From now on, you can paint generously and carefully. Ah Jing will be with me all my life, and I will be lonely in the future. I feel so sorry for..."

"Zhou Zhou!"

"It's a pity that Ah Jing was not given a beautiful and well-behaved little fox. Ah Jing, can you show me another little fox?"

"Um……"

With a flash of white light, Zhou Jing turned into a little fox with snow-white hair that could only be held in one hand, and was held in her palm.

The sky gradually darkened.

The temperature in the palm is scattered in the long wind.

Zhou Jing changed back into a human form and hugged his beloved wife who was slowly closing his eyes.

It's been a long time.

Feng Qing appeared from the wind, followed by the wolf demon Asi who was covering his eyes and couldn't bear to see him.

"Chang Ye, she has already gone."

"I know..." The pain slowly spread in the tip of my heart, and the three thousand black hairs turned into frost and snow, Zhou Jing murmured: "I know..."

The fox demon is born with a lack of delicate perception of her own love, and she is always one step later than ordinary people when she is happy or sad. Just when Feng Qing didn't know how to comfort her, two lines of blood and tears flowed from Zhou Jing's eyes. She couldn't bear the blood and tears to stain the face of the person in her embrace. Flicking the fingertips lightly: "I know..."

Counting Ning Lianzhou's life in detail, she became the wife of the head of the family as an orphan, entered Baihe to study, and repeatedly defeated Qiucheng to become famous and talked about Taoism.

Later, Shen Duan went, following the ambition of his predecessors, to take charge of Baihe Women's College, promote women's studies, compile books, and spend half of his family's wealth to establish academies and private schools, so that poor women can have books to read and aspirations to pursue.

After 50 years, he has become a great Confucianist, with many peaches and plums, and is called a respected teacher by women all over the world.

Its happy marriage is also longing for the world.

In the first year after Lianzhou left, Zhou Jing took back the contract signed by the two of them from the Marriage Department.

Dressed in white clothes, with three thousand white hair, a psychic jade on her heart, two white jades on her waist, the jade pendants collided and made a ringing sound, "my wife" and "my love" were facing each other on the jade face, and the peach blossoms were as colorful as rain. Sitting in the peach tree, I didn't know what to think, and smiled gently.

The first volume, the first life, the end.

——2021.3.17.

The author has something to say: After writing this chapter while crying, Ah Jing still laughed at the end.See you in the next life.
