forced into marriage

Beiqi 15 years

"I won't marry! How can I, a big man, marry a man?! Even if I die, I don't want to marry a man!"

Lin Xi, who was covered by Feng Guanxia, ​​was holding on to a pillar and yelling.

Xiao Ran stood by and protected Lin Xi from getting close to him.

Hou Yongning, who was in a dilemma, comforted Lin Xi anxiously: "Xi'er, you can go, the emperor's order is hard to violate, we can't resist it."

Lin Xi refused to let go even to the death: "Father! Do you have the heart to let me marry a man!"

"Xi'er, King Ning, a sick child, something will happen sooner or later, when the time comes, we will bring you back immediately."

Marquis Yongning also had no other choice, if it wasn't for the emperor's order, how could he marry his child to a man.

If it wasn't for the emperor's decree to order Lin Xi to go by name, why would he treat Lin Xi like this.

"I don't want it! The emperor wants to congratulate King Ning, so he can find someone else, why should it be me! I don't want to marry!" Lin Xi still insisted not to marry.

Xiao Ran stopped in front of Marquis Yongning with a firm attitude: "That's right, Marquis, I will never let the young master marry King Ning!"

Yongning Hou was furious: "Xiao Ran! Get out of the way!"

"No." Xiao Ran shook his head.

Madam Yongninghou said: "Xiao Ran, your young master is messing around, do you want to mess around with me too?"

In Xiao Ran's mansion, besides Lin Xi, the person he respects the most is Mrs. Yongninghou.

He hesitated a little, but still put down his hand and moved out of the way.

"Xi'er, you can go. Although mother hates you, if we resist the decree, we will punish the nine clans and beheaded. If you don't think about your father, you should also think about mother."

Mrs. Hou Yongning patted him on the back, on the surface she was reluctant to part with Lin Xi, but in fact she was pulling his fingers with the other hand.

"Mom! You can't do this! Do you just have the heart to let me be wronged?"

Lin Xi resisted again and hugged him even tighter.

"Xi'er! If you continue to be disobedient, I will drive Xiao Ran out of Yongning Hou Mansion!"

Lin Xi had to let Mrs. Hou Yongning force him to agree.

"Master." Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xi without saying a word.

After listening to Mother's words, he looked at Xiao Ran, and immediately let go: "No! Xiao Ran is my good brother, you can't drive him away!"

Mrs. Hou Yongning knew that this trick was useful, sure enough.

"Yes, then you must agree to marry King Ning!"

"Yes……"

With a sad face, Lin Xi was taken back to the room by Xiao Ran to touch up her makeup and tidy up her wedding dress.

"Hey, my carefree life, goodbye."

Once back in the room, Lin Xi started howling.

Xiao Ran comforted him: "It's okay, young master, the big deal is, let's treat Prince Ning's Mansion as another place for us to play, and let's make a fuss over there."

Lin Xi suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Ran: "Good idea! Not only do I want to make a fuss there, but I also want to see what kind of sick man this rumored King Ning is!"

The time has come.

Mrs. Marquis of Yongning forced Lin Xi to cover her head. He didn't want to cover her head until he died.

Lin Xi was supported by Xiao Ran into the sedan chair.

After the bridal sedan chair was gone, Mrs. Yongning Hou felt relieved: "It can be regarded as sending this stinky boy away. If you don't show him some color, he will really be his mother and I can't control him anymore."

Yong Ning Hou felt a little inappropriate: "Ma'am, if you let him know that you are like this, I am afraid that the sky will be turned upside down."

"No problem."

Mrs. Yongninghou didn't say much, and entered the mansion directly, while Yongninghou cast a look of self-seeking blessings into the distance, and then entered the mansion.

This Yongninghou's Mansion is still some distance from Ning Wang's Mansion, Lin Xi almost fell asleep on the sedan chair.

……

Ning Wangfu Gate

There was no joy in Prince Ning's mansion, no one came to welcome the bride, no one stood at the door, the gate was closed, and the sedan chair stopped outside the mansion.

Lin Xi also woke up shaking.

"what happened"

Xiao Ran had never seen this kind of scene before, and for a moment he didn't know how to say to Lin Xi: "Master, this Prince Ning's Mansion..."

Listening to his tone, Lin Xi knew that something must have happened, so he ignored the etiquette explained by his mother, and directly opened the door curtain of the sedan chair, lifted the hijab, and walked out.

Xiao Ran didn't stop him either.

As soon as Lin Xi saw the scene in front of him, he began to want to curse.

"He Ning Wangxu is too disrespectful?! I didn't even see the young master, so he was scared..."

If it hadn't been for Xiao Ran to stop him, with Lin Xi's temper, he might have scolded Emperor Beiqi along with him.

After Lin Xi regained his composure, he carried his heavy wedding dress, walked to the door, and began to knock on the door.

As soon as he touched the door, the door opened by itself.

"..."

After Lin Xi was stunned for a while, he turned to look at the people behind him.

"You all go back, as long as there is Xiao Ran here, after you go back, tell my mother and the others that I will 'live up to expectations' when I arrive, so they can rest assured!"

He also deliberately emphasized the words 'live up to expectations'.

Everyone except Xiao Ran looked at each other, said goodbye to Lin Xi, and left.

After seeing them leave, Xiao Ran followed Lin Xi, and saw the half-open door, he was a little puzzled: "This?"

Lin Xi didn't care what he had, he opened the door wide and walked in, followed closely by Xiao Ran.

"This dress is too troublesome!"

After speaking, he took off the robe of the wedding dress and let Xiao Ran hold it.

As soon as it was handed to him, Lin Xi heard a voice.

"My lord, know some etiquette."

The two heard the sound and looked over.

It's a sword-wielding man with a silver half-mask.

"You are?" Lin Xi asked.

The man clasped his fists in his hands, and his words and deeds were very respectful: "Subordinates clear up, I have seen the princess."

"Suppress..." Lin Xi repeated the person's name, and after a while, it was still under Xiao Ran's reminder that he realized something was wrong, and quickly retorted, "No! This young master is not your princess!"

"Prince Concubine unexpectedly entered this Prince Ning's Mansion, so it is naturally Concubine Ning."

Su Qing saw that no matter how much Lin Xi refuted, he insisted on what he said without changing his face.

Lin Xi also gave up, the one opposite was really too hard to convince.

"Fine, fine, call it whatever you like, it's just a title anyway."

"Then ask the princess to move to the meditation hall."

After Su Qing made a gesture of invitation to Lin Xi, he jumped up and disappeared.

The two of them were left in a daze.

"Meditation Court? Where?" Xiao Ran asked.

Lin Xi yelled towards the place where Suqing disappeared: "Just tell me the name, how can I find it! Take us there anyway!"

He shouted there for a long time without any response, and his voice was almost hoarse.

The voice was hoarse again: "Ahem, who is it? Really! Ahem!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back: "My lord, it looks like this, he just wants us to find it by ourselves."

Lin Xi slowed down, took off the robe of the wedding dress, and threw it on the ground: "Okay! Let me find it! This young master will definitely make you regret it!"

He looked left and right, walking around, Xiao Ran picked up the wedding dress, and followed closely.

……

"How big is King Ning!"

Just this sentence, Lin Xi recited it countless times, but fortunately, Huangtian paid off, they can be considered to have found it.

The Jingxinyuan is located on the right side of the main hall of King Ning's Mansion, and it is considered a relatively remote place. It must be in the backyard. Apart from this, there is Yunshuiju on the left... the quietest place in the whole Prince Ning's Mansion.

Although this meditation hall has not been lived in for two years, it is not dusty yet.

Lin Xi felt a little strange, they searched the entire Prince Ning's mansion all the way, but they didn't see a single person, but the meditation courtyard seemed to be just cleaned.

"There are no people, but the place is so clean, it's so strange."

Xiao Ran looked around and found that not only the place was clean, but also the things in the courtyard seemed to have been changed.

"These things seem to be new." Although the things are good, he still shook his head, "It's a pity that the young master doesn't like them."

Lin Xi glanced at the sky, and then smelled his own body: "It's getting dark, hurry up and prepare hot water and food for me."

He dragged the bulky wedding dress into the room, and took off all the tiaras on his head that he had hated for a long time.

Because he was not familiar with these things, he lost his temper several times during the process, and finally took off the headdress and messed up his hair.

"My daughter's things are really annoying! I will never wear them in the future!"

After an unknown period of time, Lin Xi almost fell asleep sitting up, and Xiao Ran prepared hot water for him to take a bath.

Because Lin Xi couldn't have anyone around when he was taking a bath, so Xiao Ran took advantage of this spare time to go to the kitchen to make food for his young master.

Lin Xi fiddled with it for a long time, and finally got rid of the knotted hair.

He lay on the side of the bathtub, looked at the screen, and began to complain: "What, what do mother and father think, how can you let me marry a man? And still marry! Aren't you afraid of people outside talking nonsense?"

"So is the dog emperor! If you want to humiliate his younger brother, humiliate him, why did you let me come!"

"And King Ning, if you accept the decree, you agree, so why don't you come to welcome the whole Prince Ning's mansion, except for the purge, I haven't seen anyone else, and even he has disappeared!"

……

He looked at the dark green necklace engraved with the word "Yu" in his hand, shaking his little head: "It seems that I won't be able to visit you this year."

After Lin Xi finished washing, Xiao Ran brought out the food and arranged it.

He looked at the four or five dishes on the table, a little surprised: "There is no one, where did the dishes come from?"

Xiao Ranxu was too hungry, so he answered his question while eating: "I thought there wasn't any, but I found that there are everything that should be in the kitchen."

"Okay." Lin Xi didn't care, just eat, otherwise he would really faint from hunger.

After they finished eating, Lin Xi lay directly on the bed. He took out the necklace again, looked at the necklace, and asked Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, what do you think Mr. looks like? Although he is strict but gentle, such a good person, What is it like?"

Xiao Ran lay on the couch next to him: "Young Master and Mr. have been together for three years, but you haven't seen each other, and it's even more impossible for me."

"Wrong! It's three years and fourteen days."

"My lord, if you can use this kind of memory to memorize the knowledge in the book, you won't be often punished and grounded by your wife."

"Can a master and a book be the same? A master and a master are even more different."

"Okay, young master, shall we go to see Mr. this year?"

Lin Xi immediately sat up with firm eyes: "Go! You must go!"

After a while, he felt a little lost again: "But now, I'm already like this, how can I go to see Mr.?"

Xiao Ran knew what his young master said, and he was right, the young master is such a face-saving person, but now he has become like this, how could his husband see it.

"My lord, let's run away!"

Although he listened to Mrs. Yongninghou's words, he didn't want his young master to live an unhappy life for the rest of his life.

"Anyway, there is no one in this place. We can escape now. If King Ning comes back in the future, we will not be able to escape even if we want to."

Lin Xi leaned against the head of the bed, very helpless: "I want to too, but if I escape, what will happen to the Yongning Hou Mansion, and what will my parents do? If I die, am I not a sinner?"

"Forget it, I'm tired today, let's rest." Lin Xi didn't take off her wedding dress, she lay down directly, turned her body sideways, and turned her back to the outside.

Xiao Ran didn't bother him anymore, got up and left the room, and went to the side room to rest.

next morning

"Hey, you guys have to be careful! This is a reward from the emperor, it's priceless!"

"You can slow down!"

"Hey! This bottle is the only one in Beiqi, so be careful!"

……

A burst of noise woke up Lin Xi who was lying on the bed.

Lin Xi was already angry about getting up, and it was really noisy outside, so all of a sudden, his anger rose.

"Xiao Ran!"

This sound made Xiao Ran, who was busy outside, stop immediately, and rushed in: "What's wrong, young master!"

"What's going on outside! Why don't people sleep!"

Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xi who had messy hair in front of him, and quickly said: "My lord, you'd better get up quickly, something happened outside!"

Lin Xi got even more annoyed, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked to the door without shoes on: "I really want to know what can happen to a good palace!"

As soon as he took half a step out of the door, he immediately withdrew his front foot. He pointed to the scene outside and asked Xiao Ran: "What's going on?"

"That's what I want to tell you." Xiao Ran replied.

Lin Xi just wanted to step out the door to see what was going on, but was stopped by an old man: "Don't leave the room if you don't dress properly."

Being stopped by this, he withdrew his feet again, looked up and down the old man in front of him: "This old man, are you"

The old man saluted Lin Xi with a respectful tone: "Li Shao, the steward of Prince Ning's residence, has seen the princess."

"You know me?" Lin Xi asked, pointing to himself.

Li Shao laughed and said, "Young Master of Yongning Hou Mansion, no, you should be called Wangfei, Wangfei, your reputation is now known to everyone in the whole Beiqi."

Lin Xi understood what he said: "Hey, don't make fun of me."

He scolded King Ning and Emperor Beiqi all night in his heart, and he is still very angry now.

"Princess, it's better to pack up quickly and come out to have breakfast." Li Shao looked at the sloppy person in front of him and said.

When Lin Xi heard this, she realized that she was too anxious just now, she was only wearing an inner jacket, and quickly closed the door.

"..." Uncle Li couldn't help laughing seeing him in such a hurry, "This kid's personality really matches His Highness."

After Lin Xi closed the door, he immediately ran back to the bed, and when he could cover himself with the quilt, he exposed his head.

"Xiao Ran, what's going on!"

Hearing Lin Xi's question, Xiao Ran quickly replied: "I don't know either. When I came together, I saw a group of them moving things here."

"Forget it, go and bring me the clothes." Lin Xi couldn't figure out why he looked like that.

"Yes." Xiao Ran answered quickly, but just when he was about to look for it, he realized that they didn't seem to have brought any other clothes except the wedding dress. "My lord, we didn't bring anything..."

Lin Xi came to his senses when he heard it, and tapped his head: "Oh! I asked them to go back, but they all took all their things back."

Now the more he thinks about it, the more angry he gets: "It's all because of that Prince Ning, if it wasn't for him, why would I be like this!"

"Young master, wait a moment, I will find a way."

"It's not where you go..."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ran ran out, before Lin Xi finished speaking.

Just like this, Lin Xi was wrapped in a quilt, cursing King Ning, the more he scolded, the more angry he became, and even a little...aggrieved.

My own parents just bought him like this, no, they got married and didn't tell him why.

After a while, Xiao Ran came back with a suit of clothes: "Here, young master."

Lin Xi took the clothes, looked at them and asked, "Where did you find them?"

Xiao Ran explained: "I went out and asked Uncle Li if he had any clothes, and then he took out a suit from the box next to him, who cares, you just wear it first."

"I'll go prepare water first." After finishing speaking, there was no one else.

Lin Xi didn't care about it either, and put it on first.

When he was wearing it, he thought to himself: This high-quality silk and satin must probably be his King Ning's clothes.

After he put it on, he felt that the clothes were surprisingly suitable, and they were completely made according to his size.

At this time, he felt that King Ning's size could be the same as his.

He has never met King Ning, but only heard about him from the families of those girls, saying that he is King Ning, who has a great appearance, and is the man that this Beiqi woman would want to marry in her dreams.

It's a pity that Lin Xi helped them realize this dream.

But...he has an extremely strange personality, he doesn't like to be touched by others, he doesn't like to be approached by others, and he is cold and black-bellied.

After tidying up, he opened the door and saw Uncle Li waiting for him in the yard.

"You are not familiar with this place, let me take you to have breakfast."

As he said that, he was about to take Lin Xi away, but he stopped him.

Seeing that Uncle Li turned his head, he let go: "Well...Uncle Li, I usually don't have breakfast, so you don't have to prepare it in the future."

"How can I do that! If I'm hungry, what should I do if my Highness blames me, so I can't."

As soon as Uncle Li heard his request, he immediately objected.

"Oh, I won't be hungry. I have been like this since I was a child. When he comes back, I will explain the situation to him. He won't blame him, okay?"

Hearing what he said, Li Shao looked Lin Xi up and down, no wonder he was so thin.

Seeing that Uncle Li still hasn't responded: "Uncle Li, how are you?"

Uncle Li saw him like this, if he disagreed, he probably could spend half an hour with him, so he agreed.

"Yes, but if you are hungry, just tell me, and I will let the kitchen prepare."

Hearing that he agreed, Lin Xi nodded repeatedly, and only after Uncle Li walked out of the yard did he happily return to the room.

He waited in the room for Xiao Ran to come back after eating. During this time, he kept thinking: When will he run away?

Finally, when Xiao Ran came back, he was almost bored to death.

He pulled Xiao Ran to sit down and asked, "When are we going to leave here?"

Xiao Ran made a silent gesture, signaling Lin Xi to lower his voice: "Master, please lower your voice, don't let others listen to you."

Lin Xi nodded and lowered the volume: "When are we leaving?"

"I know you want to leave early, but this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. If he runs away after knowing that you are newly married, we and the Yongning Hou Mansion will be ruined."

"I know, but I don't want to stay here, I want to play with my husband." Lin Xi became anxious when he mentioned his husband.

Last night, he still said that it was not good for him to go to see the husband, and now he is arguing to go, Xiao Ran is in a difficult situation, but he does not want to make his young master unhappy: "Otherwise, let's go out for a while and ask someone to send a message to the husband .”

"Okay, let's go now!"

As soon as he heard that he could go out, Lin Xi immediately stood up, pulled Xiao Ran and rushed towards the gate of the mansion.

I thought I could go out, but I didn't want to, and was stopped by the boy at the door.

"Do you know who I am, just stop me!" Lin Xi was upset, and he had to go out at this door today.

"Just because I know who you are, I didn't let you out."

For this, the four of them stalemate at the door for a while.

The commotion at the door attracted Uncle Li who was busy.

Uncle Li stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xi: "What are you doing?"

Lin Xi was silent, and Xiao Ran answered for him: "The young master wants to go out, but the two of them won't let him."

"Just because of this." Uncle Li smiled, and explained clearly to Lin Xi, "You should stay in the mansion honestly. When His Highness comes back, you can leave the mansion with his consent."

"But I want to go out now." Lin Xi didn't want to stay here.

"What Your Highness ordered, we can't do anything about it."

Lin Xi was out of breath, and dragged Xiao Ran back to Qingxinyuan.

As soon as he came back, he sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, lying on the stone table, and complained about King Ning: "Why are they doing this, locking me up like a prisoner! I'm not here, and I'm still telling them not to let me go out, why?"

Xiao Ran also sat down: "My lord, stop complaining, bear with it, and wait for King Ning to come back."

"Who knows when that bastard will come back!"

Lin Xi was so excited that he even nicknamed King Ning.

As soon as Xiao Ran heard that he was right, he quickly covered his mouth, looked around, but fortunately there was no one there: "My lord, it's better to keep it under the fence."

"Ugh!" Lin Xi broke Xiao Ran's hand, "I want to! Damn bastard, stinky bastard at eight o'clock! Why don't you let me go out!"

After Lin Xi finished cursing, Xiao Ran spoke again: "My lord, if you are like this, if the lady sees it, it's time to blame you again."

Hearing what he said, Lin Xi remembered that her sister didn't know about it yet: "It's over, if Yun'er finds out that something happened to me, she will definitely cry with her parents."

"That's right, but we can't go out now, we can only let Madam and the others explain to Miss." Xiao Ran also lay down on the stone table.

"If I had known this, I would have gone out of the city with Yun'er to pray for blessings, and I could delay a little longer." Lin Xi regretted.

The two sighed at the same time, "Hey!"

-

Gate of Yongning Houfu

Marquis Yongning and his wife were waiting at the door.

Not waiting for Lin Xi, but waiting for Lin Xi's younger sister, Lin Yun.

Lin Yun went out of the city to pray for her parents and elder brother before Lin Xi was bestowed a marriage, and came back today.

After waiting for a while, a carriage arrived.

The servant girl Xia Qing went down first, followed by Lin Yun who was wearing a veil and wearing light pink.

Marquis Yongning and his wife were very happy to see Lin Yun come back, but they didn't expect that Lin Yun's first sentence after getting out of the carriage was to ask where Lin Xi had gone.

"Where's your brother?"

This question made them stutter.

Lin Yun asked again: "Did something happen to my brother?"

Mrs. Yongning Marquis calmed down Lin Yun's emotions first: "Yun'er, your brother is fine, don't worry."

"It's all right! Mom, do you know how anxious I was when I heard people on the street say something happened to my brother when I came back this way!"

Lin Yun said again: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with my brother?"

"Let's go in and talk."

"Speak quickly." Lin Yun didn't move, and let her speak now.

Madam Yongning hesitated.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Yun looked at Yongninghou again: "Father, tell me, what happened to brother!"

When asked suddenly, Yong Ninghou didn't know what to say, so he turned his head and didn't look at Lin Yun.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Yun looked at her mother again.

Faced with Lin Yun who was so anxious, she still told her: "Xi'er, he... the emperor bestowed a marriage on King Ning."

"What?" Lin Yun couldn't believe her ears, "How can my brother marry a man? What does the emperor think..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yun fainted from excitement.

"Yun'er!"

"Get the doctor quickly!"

-

Lin Xi has been sitting at the stone table in the courtyard in a daze since he didn't leave the mansion in the morning.

Want to do something, but don't know what to do, just sit all the time.

"Ahhh! I want to go out and play!"
