forced into marriage

Lin Xi hurriedly pushed him away: "You are all boring!"

"It's the princess who wants to ask, and it has nothing to do with the king." Chu Yu stepped back and replied with an innocent face.

Seeing him like that, Lin Xi was speechless, picked up the bowl, ate a few quick mouthfuls, then put down the bowl and ran away.

Seeing him leave, Chu Yu looked at his bowl and found that it had hardly moved at all.

So the few mouthfuls he just took were air?

-

In the Jingxin courtyard, Lin Xi had been in the room since he came back from breakfast, and it took a long time before he came out.

It just so happened that when he came out, he saw Xiao Ran taking care of the crabapple sapling.

"Put it down! I'll do it!" Hastily ran over to take what was in Xiao Ran's hand, "Go and sit, I'll pour it myself."

Although Xiao Ran wanted to stop him, he knew that Lin Xi would definitely not let him go, so he went to sit down anyway.

After Lin Xi finished pouring the water, he put down the bucket and came back to sit.

As soon as I sat down, I started to complain about what happened last night: "Hey, I thought he wouldn't come back, we were able to escape last night, but...we just happened to be caught by him."

Xiao Ran remained silent and just listened to him.

"He's so hateful! I didn't tell you last night, but when I had breakfast this morning, he still..."

And he didn't say anything.

There is nowhere to vent your anger, just vent it on the table,

Xiao Ran hurriedly stopped him, took his hand: "Sir, don't shoot."

"I'm just so angry, why don't you let us go out!" Lin Xi withdrew his hand, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Bastard! Inhuman!"

"This king still thinks who wrote these, it turned out to be from the hands of the princess."

Hearing a familiar voice, Lin Xi suddenly turned his head to look, and Xiao Ran also raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

It was Chu Yu who was looking at the writing on the walls on both sides of the courtyard with his back turned to them.

"Chu Yu! Why are you here?" Lin Xi immediately stood up and looked at him.

"This is the king's mansion. I can go wherever I want." He turned around and walked towards Lin Xi. Listen in."

Lin Xi retreated, and Xiao Ran quickly stood in front of him, afraid that Chu Yu would blame him, so he pleaded for him: "My son is born with such a nature, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

"Xiao Ran! Get out of the way, even if you want to kill him or cut him to pieces, it's impossible for me to hide behind others and be a coward!" He pulled Xiao Ran away and stared at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu came over, sat in front of the stone table, and looked at Lin Xi: "It seems that what the king said last night has been ignored by the princess."

"I don't even have a pot of tea when I come here to the meditation hall. How much do you hate me?" Chu Yu said again.

Only then did Xiao Ran realize that, just as he was about to go, Lin Xi stopped him and refused to let him go.

"Didn't you say that this is your palace, then go by yourself and don't order my people here."

Lin Xi finally stiffened up and confronted Chu Yu directly.

Chu Yu glanced at Xiao Ran, and continued: "I said that the palace belongs to me, but I didn't say that Jingxinyuan belongs to me."

"What do you mean by that?" He didn't understand.

Chu Yu explained: "This Jingxinyuan belongs to the princess herself, so if the king is here, the princess should also let the king drink some tea."

Hearing what Chu Yu said, Xiao Ran went to prepare tea.

Lin Xi understood it this time, and realized something was wrong: "So...then what I drew on the wall is destroying my own yard?!"

"Yeah." Chu Yu looked around the yard again, and nodded with a smile.

He stood there and stomped his feet: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

"Why did my lord tell you earlier? Besides, you married into Prince Ning's mansion. Naturally, it is Princess Ning, so this courtyard is also yours." Chu Yu was very innocent.

Lin Xi sat down, clapped his hands on the table, and said angrily, "I call that marriage! There is no procession to welcome the bride, I kick the sedan chair door by myself, there is no worship hall, and I still keep the vacant room, you call that marriage!"

"I thought the princess was angry about it." Hearing Lin Xi's words, Chu Yu smiled, "If the princess feels unwilling, I can make up for the princess again, with ten miles of red makeup, eight lifts of a big sedan chair, and the Ming matchmaker is getting married. ?”

Although what he said made Lin Xi feel a little bit moved, but he had to be firm, he was a man!

"Okay, get out!"

Lin Xi's expression made Chu Yu want to laugh more and more: "Why is the princess still a little childish?"

Mentioning this, Lin Xi couldn't help but want to scold Chu Yu: "I still have three months to go before the coronation ceremony, but now...it's all your fault!"

And March is the day of Lin Xi's coronation ceremony, he dare not even think about it, before the coronation ceremony, there is still this one waiting for him.

He originally planned to invite his husband to the Yongning Hou Mansion on the day of the crown ceremony, but in the end... everything was disrupted.

"The crowning ceremony is also held in the palace. This king crowns the princess."

Lin Xi felt speechless again: "The crowning ceremony will be held in the ancestral temple, presided over by the father, and the designated person will be crowned, do you understand?"

"Why do you have to follow the rules, the king is presided over by the emperor, and the emperor crowns the king." He added, "And, the king was crowned in the seventeenth year."

This surprised Lin Xi: "Isn't it said in the book that a man's 20-year-old crown ceremony?"

"What's the matter? Before my father passed away, in order for my brother to succeed me, I crowned my brother when he was 15 years old."

Lin Xi sized Chu Yu up and asked, "Why didn't you become the emperor?"

Hearing what Lin Xi said, Chu Yu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Why does the princess want to be the queen of Beiqi?"

"What!" Lin Xi shook his head again and again, "I don't want to be a queen, let alone your princess!"

"If you really want to be, then I will take the throne for you."

He said his, Chu Yu said Chu Yu's.

Seeing how serious he was, Lin Xi almost believed him, and jokingly said, "How can you, a sick child who is not favored by the emperor, win?"

"Unpopular" Chu Yu heard this word for the first time, and it was a little strange "Who told you that this king is not popular?"

"It's a rumor." He still had a casual look on his face.

He supported his head with one hand, looking at the crabapple saplings he had planted.

Seeing him like that, Chu Yu closed his sleeves and raised his hand to touch his head, but he didn't want to...

"By the way! What are you..." Lin Xi originally wanted to ask him why he didn't become the emperor of Beiqi, but when he turned his head, he found that his hand was hanging above his head.

Chu Yu didn't take back his hand, he knocked on Lin Xi's head: "Don't be in a daze."

"How could I? I was wondering why you didn't become the emperor of Beiqi."

"Do not want to."

He didn't look at Lin Xi again, and looked at the tree like Lin Xi, but it wasn't the one Lin Xi planted, but the ginkgo tree he planted when he was young.

"Why?"

"Because... this king is the same as you. I don't like being locked up. If I become a king, I will be trapped by those memorials and things big and small all day long, without any freedom." He turned around and looked at Lin Lin. Xie.

Lin Xi also looked at him, staring into his eyes, half-believing, but he didn't care, it was none of his business anyway.

"Then you come back, can I go home?"

It was only then that Lin Xi remembered that, to him, the most important thing.

"No!" He refused.

"Why didn't you say that I can go out when you come back?" Lin Xi was excited.

Why not let him go out? It was clearly agreed that Uncle Li was already there. As long as Chu Yu came back, he could go out.

"According to my Northern Qi law, the days when a woman returns home after marriage must be an even number."

This made Lin Xi anxious: "My young master is a man! Besides, today is the fourth day, which is also an even number!"

Chu Yu still refused: "That's not okay. Today, the king is going to the palace to face the saint, so I can't accompany you back home."

"Then I'll go back by myself."

"That's even worse!"

Beiqi law stipulates that the days when a woman returns home must be an even number, and she must be accompanied by her husband.

"Then your face saint can be tomorrow, why is it today!" He lay on the table again, this time he was not tired or sleepy, he, this time he was wronged and sad "I just want to go home and have a look Parents, tell your sister clearly, don't let them worry, why not."

Seeing how wronged he was, Chu Yu felt helpless: "Forget it, I'll accompany you back home."

Lin Xi was lying there wronged, tears were about to come out, but when he heard that he agreed, he withdrew the tears and sat up straight: "Really?"

"really."

Chu Yu really had nothing to do with him, and he was very upset.

While they were talking, Xiao Ran also came over with tea.

As soon as he put it down, Lin Xi pulled him and told him excitedly: "Xiao Ran, we can go back!"

"Well." He glanced at Chu Yu, then looked at Lin Xi, "Sir, don't get excited, tell me what's going on first, and why we can go back."

Lin Xi calmed down after hearing his words: "He promised me that we can go back now!"

Chu Yu corrected what Lin Xi said: "This king is not talking about the present."

"When was that?"

"After lunch."

Seeing that Lin Xi wanted to ask again, he interrupted and brought up the breakfast incident.

"When you had breakfast, you didn't eat anything. If you came back hungry, the people in the Yongning Palace would not think that the king abused you."

Lin Xi still wanted to speak, but was interrupted again.

"You have to prepare something to go back."

This time Lin Xi did not speak any more, and sat down obediently.

Seeing him sitting down, Chu Yu got up and was about to go back to her Yunshui residence, but was stopped by Lin Xi.

"What about my yard?"

"Clean it up yourself, I won't help you." After he finished his answer, he quickly walked out of the meditation hall.

After he left, Lin Xi pointed at himself and asked Xiao Ran: "Did he let this young master clean up by himself?"

Xiao Ran nodded in response.

Lin Xi was angry again, but he was angry, after all, he did it by himself, and he should have cleaned it up by himself.

"Just clean it up!" He looked at Xiao Ran again, "Let's go get ready first, don't let Yun'er see me looking down, and don't tell her what I've been doing here for the past few days!"

-

After leaving the Jingxinyuan, Chu Yu returned to the study in Yunshuiju, and when he returned to the study, he called Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, the concubine returns home today, you go and prepare some things to give to Yongninghou, and leave after lunch."

"Yes, does Your Highness have any orders?"

Afraid that he still had something to say, Uncle Li asked again, seeing that he didn't say anything, so he was about to back down, but as soon as he moved, Chu Yu spoke again: "Restore everything in the Jingxinyuan to its original state, except for the tree he planted. "

"The old slave understands." Uncle Li withdrew.

after lunch

The two carriages with the word 'Ning' engraved on the front tags were already waiting at the gate of King Ning's Mansion.

Lin Xi and Xiao Ran came out first, followed by Chu Yu.

Lin Xi looked at the two carriages, and was about to pull Xiao Ran into the carriage behind, but was stopped by Uncle Li.

"This carriage is full of things for the Yongning Houfu, you should take one with His Highness."

Chu Yu didn't speak, just laughed at him from behind, and then got into the carriage in front.

What else could be done, Lin Xi had no choice but to endure and get into the carriage that Chu Yu was riding in.

Xiao Ran sat with Su Qing who was driving outside.

As soon as the car moved, Chu Yu started to ask Lin Xi. He looked at Lin Xi's clothes: "Why don't you change when you go home?"

Lin Xi lazily leaned against the wall of the car, he wanted to lean like this, and didn't want to talk.

But, facing Chu Yu, he had no choice but to speak.

"I didn't bring any clothes, but I borrowed this from Uncle Li."

"My king's?" He looked Lin Xi up and down, and finally his eyes stopped on Lin Xi's waist. "My king's clothes, with your slender waist and small body, I'm afraid they are too big for you."

Lin Xi leaned his head against the car wall, turned his eyes and looked at Chu Yu: "I am well dressed."

Chu Yu didn't show much expression: "Forget it, just bear with it, and when I get back, I'll let Uncle Li customize some clothes."

Lin Xi didn't respond on the surface and continued to lean against the wall of the car, but he didn't know how many times he complained about Chu Yu in his heart.

When you bring it, I'll just wait for it to get moldy. It's better to go back and wear my original clothes.

Originally, the distance was a bit far, so Lin Xi wanted to sleep first, but just as he wanted to sleep, he heard some unpleasant words from people on the street outside.

"Is this King Ning's carriage?"

"Is that the sick child that His Majesty doesn't like?"

"He killed the former emperor, and now he still wants to seize the throne. His father and elder brothers dare to kill him. It's good that God didn't let him die."

"He deserves it! If he is still married to a man now, isn't that a disgrace to the royal family? Why should the royal family keep this shame of him? He should be executed!"

"People who are dying are still wandering in the street, so they should stay at home and wait to die!"
