Marriage of the Di Daughter

From before to now, Jiang Li didn't like parting very much. When she was in Tongxiang, it made her very sad to get married and say goodbye to her father and brother. Now more sad than at that time, because she knew the danger of going to Ji Heng. This is not a good fight, Yan Zhan is fighting hard, years of painstaking efforts, is for the arrival of this day.

The Empress Dowager did not hesitate to let King Cheng deal with emperor Hong Xiao, and let King Cheng and Emperor Hong Xiao discuss their power with each other. If Ji Heng hadn't intervened in it, it would be easy for the Yin family to make a profit with their left hand.

Jiang Li was still thinking about Ji Heng's injury. She said, "can't you go later?"

"Yin Zhili will do it soon." Ji Heng laughed, "you can't let people take the lead."

Jiang Li was silent, and Yin Zhili had become another person. The death of Yan Zhan, his life experience, and the death of Yan Zhiqing would have a huge impact on him one after another, and ordinary people would collapse under such circumstances. Jiang Li thought that Yin Zhili would not collapse, but it was by no means the former Yin Zhili. When he decided to use himself to coerce Ji Heng, Yin Zhili, who could not bear to hurt the people for the war, had vanished.

She remembered Yan Zhiqing again. Yan Zhiqing blocked Yan Zhili's knife for Ji Heng, and I don't know whether he is still alive now. Jiang Li hoped that Yan Zhiqing could get better. Yan Zhiqing did nothing wrong. In some ways, it was the biggest mistake that she was born in the Yan family.

Ji Heng has put on his armor, which is different from his lazy and beautiful appearance in the past. Maybe Ji Xuan is very similar to Yu Hongye, but in his bones, he is exactly the same as Ji Minghan. Jiang Li has never seen Ji Minghan, but as long as you look at Ji Heng's appearance at the moment, you can probably imagine how handsome general Jin Wu was in those days.

He patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Ji Heng seemed to have completely recovered, but Jiang Li bandaged him last night. Those scars were too deep and too deep to recover in a very short time.

"If you can't make it, don't force it." Jiang Li said seriously, "Ji Heng, nothing is more promising than living. Only living can make everything possible."

"Little girl," he narrowed his eyes, "you've never been selfless? Why are you selfish today?"

Jiang Li reached out and hugged him, whispering, "I'm just afraid of losing you."

She has lost relatives in her life, but fortunately, she has recovered. But God will not care for her again and again. Many people, lost is lost, never come back. For example, Ji Minghan, Yu Hongye, and old general Ji.

People can be strong or calm, but as long as they are mortals, they will not be calm enough to face the possibility of losing their sweetheart and remain indifferent.

Ji Heng's smile faded. He was held by Jiang Li. It seemed that he could feel the uneasiness in Jiang Li's heart, so he sighed and said, "believe me, Ali."

Zhao Ke was outside the cave and walked in and said, "my Lord, the cars and horses are ready."

Jiang Lisong opened his hand, and Ji Xuan said, "let's go, I'll see you off."

If Ji Heng wants to stay in Qingzhou, Jiang Li must return to Yanjing city. Yin Zhili can catch Jiang Li once, and naturally he can also catch Jiang Li twice. On the battlefield, Ji Heng may not always be able to protect Jiang Li, and the sword has no eyes. Jiang Li does not know martial arts. If she is injured, it will only drag Ji Heng down.

Jiang Li also knew this truth, so even though she was worried, she agreed with Ji Heng's decision. Ji Xuan picked dozens of people to escort Jiang Li back to Beijing. He took another waterway, which was not easy to be noticed.

It seems that the way to see you off is very short, as if you arrived at the dock before long.

When the ships docked, the water of the long river was frozen, but there was no one in the Yongding River. The passenger ships were floating on the river, and the world was almost connected, especially magnificent. Jiang Li, wearing a fox skin cloak sent by Ji Hong, looked up at Ji Hong.

She was reluctant to take the step of getting on the ship, but taught Ji Hu to look and laugh. He said, "why haven't you found out before? You're so clingy." He said this in a joking tone, as if joking, but Jiang Li couldn't laugh. She is used to smiling, and often uses a smile to hide her feelings. Up to now, she can't squeeze out a smile. Even gave birth to a meaningless, if you really can't laugh, then don't laugh.

Jiang Li stood on tiptoe, stroked Ji Xuan's face with both hands, closed her eyes, and gently kissed his lips.

Even others said that she was shameless and immoral. She just didn't want to regret it. She let go. The next moment, Ji Chen held the back of her head and pulled her to herself, deepening the kiss.

In the snow filled sky, the young man kissed the petite girl. He kissed deeply and warmly, determined and gentle, just like his contradictory heart, with cautious piety. Jiang Li lifted her head to accept the kiss, only feeling that her eyes were hot, as if she was going to cry.

The guards turned away and didn't see the lingering kiss goodbye. The boat on the river was parked quietly and left on the dock, as if they had seen all the plays in the past, which was less than half a minute hard to say at the moment.

After a long time, Ji Heng released her hand. Jiang Li didn't look at him anymore. She turned around, lifted her skirt and got on the boat.

The guards followed on to the ship. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji stayed with Ji Heng. They were Ji Heng's right-hand men. This time, they wanted to go to the battlefield with Ji Heng. Even when the two of them saw this parting, their hearts were sour, and they should not use Tiji.

Jiang Li stood in the bow of the boat, and the boat slowly moved forward. In the wind and snow, Ji Xuan was tall and straight. That touch of bright red was especially bright in the ice and snow, as if she was going to exist in her memory so domineering that it would never fade. Jiang Li suddenly remembered the spring night in her dream. The spring breeze passed through the busy crowd, and he stopped at her wall. She was still a woman. He had just been desperate to death for his father's death, but it was just a mistake, and he made his first love in a play on the swing.

I don't know when this war will stop. Jiang Li hopes to meet him again on the spring night, when everything is born in the spring, he reappears and continues the story that hasn't been finished since he got up very early.

The boat was getting farther and farther away, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger. Soon, the red became a red dot. Jiang Li stared at that place without blinking, until the wind and snow completely covered his figure, and there was no Ji Heng's shadow in front of him. Only the wide river reminded them of their separation.

I hope the reunion is not far away, and I hope to see you forever.

……

From Qingzhou to Yanjing, it takes more than 20 days by water. When Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, Ji Heng should have told the people of the state government in advance that ye Mingyu and others did not live in the state government now, but all lived in the state government. Therefore, after Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, she went to the government house first.

There were white lanterns hanging outside the government house. When Jiang Li was away, general Ji was buried. Originally, as the only grandson of the government, Ji Heng didn't wear mourning for old general Ji. If Ji Heng's temperament was in the past, people in the city would say that Ji Heng was indeed an unfilial bastard. But this time, it didn't happen. The reason was that the king of Xia Jun rebelled in Qingzhou, and Ji Heng led Jin Wujun to rehabilitate him. For heroes, people are always extremely tolerant. Although the hero's reputation in the past was not good, and he may not have military achievements, but he did so, which gave him a reason not to return to Beijing in time for filial piety.

Over the years, there were only Ji Heng and old general Ji in the government house. Ji Chen is moody and doesn't make friends with others. General Ji was no longer in the middle of the court, so the court was left out in the cold. After the heroic general fell, few people came to mourn. There are few people in the government. There are white lanterns and filial piety characters hanging at the door, which only makes people feel lonely and engraved into their bones, which is distressing.

When Jiang Li returned to the government, everyone was shocked.

Ji Xuan really asked Ye Mingyu to move everyone to the government house. Jiang Li went into the yard and saw Ye Mingyu and Xiaohong quarreling. It is because of these many people that the desolation of the government has been diluted. Xue Zhao first found Jiang Li and shouted, "sister!"

People found that Jiang Li had come back.

Situ Jiujiu, who was carrying the mortar of mashing herbs in his hand, also came over. Everyone gathered around, Xue Zhao said, "sister, my brother-in-law wrote to say that you are coming back these days, and you really are coming back these days!"

Ye Mingyu didn't bother to correct Xue Zhao's wrong address, just thinking that the boy probably wanted to marry Jiang Li. He looked at Jiang Li up and down: "how's it going, Ali, aren't you hurt?"

Jiang Li shook her head and Xue Huaiyuan said in a deep voice, "Ali, this time you are too impulsive. You shouldn't risk yourself to save us. If something happens to you, how can we deal with it?"

His name was "Ali", and ye Mingyu wondered how Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li were so close. But now is not the time to investigate this. Besides, Xue Huaiyuan was right, so he nodded and said, "that is, ah Li, what Yan Zhili really wants to do, we will play with him. You are a little girl, how can you save us?"

Jiang Li said, "Mr. Xue, a Zhao, uncle, cousin, Miss September and begonia, are you all right? Did Yin Zhili embarrass you... The servants of the Ye family were killed, and the fingers of Begonia..."

Haitang shrunk back slightly, and said, "it's nothing. It's all destroyed from the front face, and a finger is nothing. They knew that Miss Jiang was soft hearted, so they would do this in order to make Miss Jiang care and mess. It's me who implicated Miss Jiang."

"Why say so? If it weren't for me, the Yan family wouldn't tie you away." Jiang Li answered and asked, "what happened that day? I only know that Yin Zhili grabbed you, but I don't know what happened to you."

Ye Mingyu sighed and said, "at that time, the incident happened suddenly, and we didn't expect..."

It turned out that when Jiang Li went to the Ye family, he found that the night before the Ye family accident, someone sneaked into the Ye mansion and kidnapped Ye Mingyu and them all. Those people are different from ordinary Jianghu assassins, but they are like soldiers in the barracks. Ye Mingyu has been told by each other. When they woke up, they had already left the gate, and they didn't know where it was, but it should not be far from Yanjing city. They listened to those people saying, "princess." He guessed that it might be Yin Zhan who was behind the instigation, that is, at that time, Haitang was dragged out and cut off a finger.

Xue Huaiyuan was smarter after all. He quickly guessed that the purpose of these people taking them captive was not simple, but to threaten someone. It seems that Jiang Li is the only one who has a close relationship with the Xue family and the Ye family at the same time.

"Mr. Xue guessed that maybe they were going to trade us for you. He wanted to stop us, but a few days later, we were knocked unconscious and left at the gate of Yanjing city. Lord Kong Liukong of the riding team found us and brought us back." Ye Shijie explained.

When Jiang Li heard Kong Liu's name, she knew that Kong Liu's appearance was not accidental, but arranged by Ji Heng in advance. Xue Zhao said, "later, Lord Kong came to say hello to his brother-in-law. Now the Ye mansion is not safe and let us live in the state mansion. We learned that old general Ji had passed away."

Xue Zhao's voice was also a little gloomy, and ye Shijie frowned and asked, "cousin, what's going on? What's the matter between the Duke of Su and the Yan family? Did you know something about the sudden rebellion of the Yan family?"

Jiang Li has a deep relationship with Ji Chen. If Jiang Li doesn't know anything, I'm afraid it's impossible. But Jiang Li is not willing to show Ji Heng's past to others. It's too dark and cruel for Ji Heng. She didn't want others to look at Ji Heng with sympathy.

Xue Huaiyuan seemed to understand what Jiang Li was thinking, and said, "Miss Jiang is just a daughter's home in the end. These matters matter a lot. Duke Su may not tell her. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. If you want to come to Duke Su to protect her, you won't say much."

Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li and saw that Jiang Li didn't want to say more. He also knew something in his heart. This cousin has always been stubborn about things she doesn't want to tell, and no one can shake her decision.

"I think my sister would better go back to the mansion and have a rest first." Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li's face and said, "as for the future, it's not too late to talk slowly."

Xue Zhao was rescuing her. Xue Huaiyuan also took advantage of the situation and said, "yes, Lord Jiang is also waiting for Miss Jiang to go back in the house. When Miss Jiang goes back, Lord Jiang can be at ease."

Although Ye Mingyu also has a lot to ask Jiang Li, those things are not important. What he cares about is Jiang Li's health and safety. Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao both said so, Jiang Li doesn't seem to be in good spirits, He said, "that's also... Ah Li, then you go back to the mansion to have a rest. I'll come back to the mansion to see you tomorrow. There are bodyguards in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about us. Although Duke Su is a man... He treats you fairly well. I won't say anything."

Ye Mingyu has always felt that Ji Heng's appearance is too prosperous, which is not a good thing. Moreover, the rumors about Ji Heng in the market are really not very good. But twice and again, Jiang Li was saved by Ji Heng. Moreover, Ji Heng and their Ye family are not related, so why let them live in the government house. If it weren't for the sake of Jiang Li, why is Ji Heng so proud of living in his own house, which the government can't avoid. Men know men best. Ji Chen's doing this is nothing more than loving Wu and Wu. It's really hard to have this heart for Jiang Li. At least compared with the previous marriage of Jiang Li's Ningyuan Marquis, I don't know how many times it is better. In addition, Ji Heng led the troops to fight in person. It can be seen that he is a real man, not just a beautiful little white face.

……

When I came back from ye Fu and returned to Jiang's house, it was already evening. Jiang Li didn't inform anyone about her return to Yanjing city in advance. When Ji Heng's bodyguards escorted Jiang Li back to the Jiang mansion, the porter was surprised to see it, and hurried to inform the master and wife.

In the evening breeze hall, it became crowded for a time.

Lu Shi was always warm and shrewd. At this moment, she showed some real worries. She looked up and down at Jiang Li and said, "Xiao Li, where did you go? Where did you... Come back?" She looked confused. Obviously, Jiang Yuanping didn't tell her the news of Jiang Li.

Old lady Jiang was very calm. She just showed a little excitement about Jiang Li's sudden return, and soon went as usual. She didn't ask Jiang Li much, only whether Jiang Li was injured, and then she didn't ask anything. Jiang Li guessed that old lady Jiang probably knew something, not to mention the grudge between the Ji family and the Yin family, at least old lady Jiang should know where Jiang Li went these days and why she disappeared. Jiang Jingrui wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li and said, "come with me."

He said this sentence every time, and Jiang Li was already used to it. With Jiang Yuanbai, he returned to the study. Jiang Yuanbai asked, "do you know what you did this time? You went out to make chips for the Ye family. Where did you put the yuan family like this?"

"Sorry, father," answered Jiang Li, "it was urgent at that time, and I really didn't think so much."

"I'm afraid you'll still do it even if you think of it." Jiang Yuanbai snorted coldly, "you have been closer to the Ye family and Xue Huaiyuan's father and son since you came."

Jiang Li has nothing to say. To be fair, Jiang Yuanbai is absolutely right. But people's hearts are all flesh. Ye Mingyu treats her like his own, and Xue Huaiyuan is her biological father and son. People are close and distant. Even though Jiang Li is not a person who remembers to fight or not to eat, some things the Jiang family sometimes does are inevitably chilling. She won't hurt the yuan family, but she can't do anything if she wants to put the yuan family first. Maybe it's because she's selfish at heart.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Jiang Yuanbai was speechless. Jiang Li knew her mistake at all, but she didn't change it. This stubborn temper didn't know who she followed. It's not like him, let alone yezhenzhen.

"I ask you, did Ji Heng tell you about the past relationship between the Ji family and the Yin family?"

Jiang Li's heart jumped, her face as usual, frowned and replied, "No."

"Really?" Jiang Yuanbai looked at her suspiciously.

"Really."

It's strange that Jiang Li can always show her feet when she lies to Ji Heng, and her heart is also very unnatural, while Jiang Yuanbai's lying seems to be perfect, without thinking at all. Jiang Yuanbai sighed and said, "well, these are not important anymore."

He sighed for a long time, but Jiang Li heard some strange feelings from his words and asked, "what happened to my father?"

"Yin Zhan's reaction is tantamount to roasting me on the fire. Before, he came close to me and went to the yuan family several times. I think his majesty knows it well. His majesty allowed him to do this with me without warning. It can be seen that he had already made plans to deal with my yuan family. Now he didn't make it clear, but it's just to leave a face for my yuan family based on years of friendship between monarchs and ministers and the kindness of teachers and students. If I lick my face and pretend to be stupid, don't blame your majesty for being unkind 。” He turned his head, shook his head and said, "the yuan family can't stay in Chaozhong anymore."

Jiang Li didn't speak. In fact, she had already seen it. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was afraid that he had no intention of keeping the yuan family in the middle of the court from the beginning. In the past, when Cheng Wang was still there, it was still possible to keep the yuan family in check and balance. Now Cheng Wang has disappeared, and it is useless for the yuan family to stay any longer. It's not because Jiang Yuanbai was rebellious or something, but because most of the literary ministers in the current court were once Jiang Yuanbai's disciples. This is not a good thing for emperor Hong Xiao.

Emperor's skill was taught by Jiang Yuanbai, a Taifu, to Emperor Hong Xiao. He should know this better than anyone. Unfortunately, those who are in it will inevitably be confused by the current situation. Jiang Yuanbo official did too much and too smoothly. He had to bear the pain to give up, and he was more reluctant to part with what he should have done many years ago, but he dragged on for so many years.

Old man Jiang's character in those days has not been preserved by the yuan family now, so the decline of the yuan family will happen sooner or later. It's not a bad thing that Jiang Yuanbai can make up for it now. Cultivate future generations, such as Jiang Jingrui, Jiang Jingyou, and the Jiang family, may not have a time to flourish again.

It depends on how one chooses.

"Xiao Li," said Jiang Yuanbai, "after I resign, you will no longer be the first daughter. The marriage with Ji Heng..."

"Your Majesty's golden words, there is no reason to violate." Jiang Li interrupted Jiang Yuanbai's unfinished words.

Jiang Yuanbai stared at her, as if he understood her mind for a moment. He slowly said, "it seems that you like him very much."

"Not bad." Jiang Li answered frankly, and she said, "I like it very much."

"What if he dies on the battlefield?" Jiang Yuanbai frowned, "you know, he has never been on the battlefield, but Yan Zhili is Yan Zhan's son, and learning from childhood is the art of winning. If he loses, the emperor's marriage can also be counted."

"What father said is wrong." Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanbai. Her voice was clear. For a moment, Jiang Yuanbai seemed to see the eyes in front of her when Jiang Li was picked up from Qingcheng Mountain to Yanjing city a year ago. After eight years. Jiang Yuanbai was surprised by the daughter's firmness between her eyebrows and eyes. There was a deep stubbornness in her softness. Her voice was also gentle, but it was like an oath, heavy and unshakable.

She said, "Ji Heng will die, but he won't lose. When he comes back alive, I'll marry. If he doesn't come back, I'll keep my hair tied for him all my life. However," the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if with a little smile. Suddenly, Jiang Yuanbai saw a flower in front of her eyes, and she just felt that Jiang Li, who is a son, was very similar to Ji Heng's smile. She said, "he promised me that he would come back."
