Chapter 167 Princess Anping
Ji Yuanan looked at the mother and son who were on the verge of a fight.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "Zi Zhan, calm down first. Miss Shen will be in the county for a few days to recover from her injuries. You should take a rest and recuperate, and then go talk to her."
Then he looked at Zheng Jinshu and said, "Jinshu, accompany Zizhan."
After saying this, he took Princess Rui out.
Arrived at another yard.
Ji Yuanan couldn't help but blame his elder sister: "Eldest sister, can you please stop interfering in this matter? It's just causing trouble. What will be the result? Your son will be the one who gets hurt!"
Princess Rui was still recovering from the rebuke from her son.
Looking at my younger brother, I also felt aggrieved.
"I have loved him so much since he was a child and have planned everything for him. Why can't he understand the hard work of being a mother?"
Ji Yuanan looked at his sister with tears in his eyes.
“Ah——” shaking head.
"Yuan'an! Why did Zizhan's marriage have so many twists and turns?"
Ji Yuanan thought, if you didn't make things more complicated, it wouldn't be that complicated.
"You also know that Zizhan was originally engaged to Princess Anping of the Princess's family. Princess Anping was the most noble lady in the capital. She was born with a fiefdom and was loved by everyone. But who knew that there was a civil strife that year and Princess Anping disappeared. This perfect marriage was gone just like that."
"I have a distinguished candidate for daughter-in-law in front of me, and a noble lady from an aristocratic family behind me. How can I accept the sudden appearance of a girl from the mountains?" Princess Rui became more and more sad as she spoke.
Why doesn’t Zizhan understand my painstaking efforts?
Think back to those days.
The prince and the eldest princess are cousins, and he has a good relationship with the eldest princess, so the two families agreed before their child was born that if both sides had a son or a daughter, they would become in-laws.
As a result, she had given birth to three children, but the eldest princess had no children due to years of war. Finally, when Zizhan was seven years old, the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter. The late emperor immediately named her "Princess Anping".
Just the two words "Anping" will tell you how much she loves him.
In fact, Zicheng and Zizhan are only two years apart in age, so I arranged the marriage for Zizhan.
The eldest princess was also willing, and Zizhan didn't mind seeing it.
Although there is a seven-year age difference, it doesn't hurt to wait a few years for such a good marriage.
After the new king ascended the throne, the situation of the Rui Palace was already awkward, and this marriage was the best way to stabilize the situation at that time.
Fortunately, the prince didn’t have any thoughts about this at ordinary times, otherwise he would not have been safe and sound until now.
The eldest princess is your Majesty's aunt.
Your Majesty was also supported by the eldest princess since childhood.
Therefore, His Majesty thinks highly of the eldest princess.
It was thought that the two families could revive the Rui Palace because of their children's marriage, but Princess Anping disappeared when she was three years old.
Otherwise, Zizhan would be 22 years old this year, and Princess Anping would be 15 years old, so they could both get married.
pity--
Then the marriage between the two families ended in failure.
It just so happened that in recent years, the only daughter of General Zhenyuan fell in love with Zizhan, and he wanted to bring them together, but Zizhan didn't even look at her.
The more I think about it, the sadder I feel. I have planned everything for him, but he just doesn't appreciate it.
Ji Yuanan looked at his sister's tearful face and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early and we'll talk tomorrow."
next day
Because I couldn't get out of bed, I stayed in bed all night.
In the evening.
Shen Xia heard a quarrel at the door.
As a result, I only heard the door being pushed open with a "clang" sound.
Shen Xia looked at the person at the door.
Gu Zizhan.
Song Jiang and Song Jin also followed behind him, as well as Wen Zhu and Zheng Jinshu.
Zheng Jinshu advised: "Zi Zhan, calm down and have a good talk."
Shen Xia saw bright red blood oozing out from the area where Song Jin had been bandaged. She was afraid that it was touched when they were pulling just now.
Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang and said, "Brother, take Third Brother to get his wound bandaged. Don't let the wound bleed any more."
Song Jiang glanced at the people in the room.
In the end, I listened to Shen Xia.
He took Song Jin away.
Zheng Jinshu watched Song Jiang and Song Jin leave.
He also pulled Wen Zhu out, leaving only Gu Zizhan and Shen Xia in the room.
The two looked at each other.
Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan's haggard expression.
The originally handsome and elegant man seemed to be gone.
Gu Zizhan walked to Shen Xia's bedside step by step with heavy steps.
I want to reach out and touch that pale face.
Shen Xia looked at the outstretched hand and dodged it.
Gu Zizhan's hand paused in the air.
At this moment, it seemed as if the air had stopped.
Gu Zizhan frowned and looked at Shen Xia.
Her eyes turned red unconsciously: "Xia Xia - I -"
In fact, Shen Xia felt very sad seeing him so sad.
But I am a modern person, and I am ambitious.
After this incident, I finally figured it out. Gu Zizhan is a good person, but his family background does not make him a good match, even if I were with him.
Although he promised to settle in Wuyang County,
But what about later!
It can be seen that his mother attaches great importance to him.
I have such a controlling mother.
Could he not go back just because his mother was sick?
And if I were already married to him, I would compromise for him.
The days ahead may not be a mess, but they will definitely not be peaceful.
I have to say, some of what Song Yun said does make sense.
Shen Xia raised her hand and held Gu Zizhan's hand that was suspended in the air: "Zizhan, maybe we are really not a good match, and there must be a future.
Marry a girl of equal status to you."
"I don't want a match with someone from a similar social class, I just want you." Gu Zizhan begged.
"Our family backgrounds are truly an unbridgeable gap,"
"I promised you that I would settle down in Wuyang County."
"So if your father and mother are sick, do you want to go back? Of course!"
Gu Zizhan was stunned after hearing what Shen Xia said.
In this situation, it is really not good not to go back——
but--
Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan and fell silent.
Imagine your future life with him.
"In a few years, we will get married. If your mother wants you to go back on the grounds of illness, we will already have children by then. In order to fulfill your filial piety, can I stop you from going back? No? Because I love you, I can only compromise." Shen Xia analyzed the future situation with him.
"After we go back, if we don't live together, we will definitely be laughed at by outsiders. If we live together, I will feel uncomfortable. Do you think that life will be better?"
"We still quarrel over these things. No matter how deep the relationship is, it can't withstand repeated quarrels."
"In fact, breaking up only makes you sad for a while. Believe me, after a few days, a month, two months, half a year, or a year, it will be nothing when you look back on it."
Gu Zizhan frowned and pursed his lips slightly. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
After a long time: "My mother said that she agreed to our marriage."
Shen Xia smiled faintly and said, "Zi Zhan, believe me, your mother only agreed because she saw that you were sad, not because she thought highly of me. This kind of thing won't last long. If someone you look down upon at the beginning doesn't change drastically in the future, you will basically look down upon them for the rest of your life."
Gu Zizhan listened to Shen Xia's particularly calm analysis.
He knew what she said made sense and was entirely possible.
I can't refute it.
But because what she said made sense, I felt even more sad. She was very rational, so rational that she knew what suited her.
Does that mean I have no chance at all?
Gu Zizhan lowered his head, and tears fell drop by drop onto the ring on the back of his hand.
