1252, put down
With the auspicious day of the new emperor's wedding, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the preparations. The palace also sent nannies to teach Xu Shu's etiquette. Perhaps because of the special instructions from Empress Dowager Chun'an, the two nannies were particularly polite to Xu Shu. In addition, Xu Shu had been blind for many years and had more cautious and steady behavior than ordinary people, so there was no big mistake that people could not see. The two nannies were not too harsh.
While learning etiquette with the two teachers, Xu Shu was coping with various preparations for the wedding. In the middle, a female official from the Department Bureau sent Xu Shu an unfinished auspicious clothes for Xu Shu to try on the fittings so that there were unfit parts that could be modified in time. Although the female official knew that this was inconsistent with the rules, the female official did not dare to disobey after the emperor ordered, so that the female official could only do so. However, the female official knew in her heart that the queen should be very popular with the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not have asked the Department Bureau to send the clothes to fit in advance, for fear that she would not wear it on the wedding day and would be wronged.
During this month, Xu Shu was in a very calm mood. It was not until May 30 that her heart suddenly felt a little throbbing. Is it nervous, uneasy, or hesitation? Xu Shu herself couldn't explain what kind of mood she felt.
Even though she knew that her life was not left, she was ready to leave alone, but in the end she was still worried about the world. Zhou Jin was even more persistent than she had imagined. She could be cruel to herself, but for Zhou Jin, who was willing to throw a heart in front of her, and would never retreat even if she stabbed a knife into his heart, she still couldn't...
The easiest thing in this world is loneliness, and the most difficult thing is loneliness...
"From tomorrow, you will be the queen of Dayin, but you don't seem happy!"
Zhuang Li, who had not seen for a long time, came out from somewhere. He wore a dark red official robe and threw the official hat there. Therefore, although he was wearing an official robe, he still couldn't hide his invisible appearance.
"How do you know I'm unhappy?" Xu Shu asked indifferently. She was still wondering if Zhuang Li would come to find her at any time, but it was indeed here.
"Yes! You may not necessarily laugh when you are happy! You may not necessarily cry when you are unhappy. You woman cannot be treated with the eyes of ordinary people!" Zhuang Li grinned, and the deepest part of his smile could not hide his loneliness.
"Then are you congratulating me or laughing at me?" Zhuang Li's smirk Xu Shu saw it, but did not expose it. Some people missed it and could only miss it.
"Of course I'm here to congratulate you! How dare I laugh at you? After today, I will kneel and kowtow when I see you in the future. One day, if you are unhappy, I will have to be in a different place. Of course, I have to flatter you!" Zhuang Li smiled so hard.
"Since you said you were here to congratulate me, I will regard this as your truth! Thank you, Zhuang Li!" Xu Shu ignored Zhuang Li's joke and said it very seriously.
Zhuang Li couldn't help but restrain his careless expression and his expression became serious, "Xu Shu, I hope you can be happy!"
This was probably the last time he called her name. From then on, he only belonged to another person. His name was always with names and names. Some people think this is rude and alienated, but he thinks that this is inexplicable closeness. Zhou Jin must have thought so...
"I will..." She will work hard, even though she doesn't have many days left, and even if the final result is not as good as her, at least she has tried, she has tried hard, and since she has made a choice, she has to do her best.
"The emperor just went to the Temple of Heaven, Ditan, Taimiao, and worshipped the heaven, the earth and the ancestors. Originally, it was enough to send an official to such a thing, but the emperor insisted on going there in person to show his importance to you. The emperor really loves you..."
This time Xu Shu didn't answer. Is Zhuang Li coming today to say this? She also came to Zhuang Li to recall the past.
Zhuang Li suddenly smiled, "I remember that I used to be directed towards you, but now why do I speak to others?"
"As a subject, it is your duty to be loyal!"
"Yes... the identity has changed, and what I think will change together!"
Not only him, Xu Shu also changed... No, Xu Shu has not changed. From the beginning, he was the one who was hidden the most thoroughly. Xu Shu used him to deceive Zhou Jin. Later, Zhou Jin woke up, and only he still kept it in the dark.
"Xu Shu, how long can you live?"
"You only know?" Xu Shu smiled, "I don't have to feel so frustrated, at least I've hidden one!"
"It's true that you've been lying to me..."
"A good person doesn't live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years. This is what you said!" Xu Shu smiled slightly, "This means I am a good person, right?"
But Xu Shu's smile seemed very dazzling to Zhuang Li, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable. Xu Shu's calmness towards death was also to comfort the living people. What qualifications do he have to resent Xu Shu for hiding the truth from him? In the final analysis, he is not Xu Shu, and Xu Shu has no obligation to explain everything to him clearly, right?
"The emperor has always condoned you. After I suddenly issued an order, I felt abnormal. Later, Mr. Qin moved directly into Zheng Mansion. I knew that things were not that simple..."
Zhuang Li smiled bitterly and was a little gloating, "Are you very smart and always doing things well, why did you still show your strength and let the emperor notice it?"
Xu Shu frowned and glared at Zhuang Li, "Not everyone is as stupid as you!"
"Yes... I'm quite stupid!" A wry smile finally occupied Zhuang Li's entire face. "I always thought that the person who knows you the most is me, and I have always been proud of it. After this incident, I found that someone came from behind and I lost to him..."
It's true that I'm here to remember the past...
Xu Shu sighed, and some words were finally said, just like when they opened up all the lies and deceived them, their relationship became harmonious and calm.
"Zhuang Li, we lost to time and ourselves..."
Knowing the truth, sharing weal and woe, and finally going to the world alone is destiny and choice...
"If I forced you away that night in Luochuanyi, the result might be different now..."
"Zhuang Li, it's ridiculous to make such a meaningless assumption now!"
"It's ridiculous..."
If you miss it, you miss it. Even if he likes her, she had been moved by him. But it was all over. It was because he failed to make the right choice at the right time. One step was a mistake in his life.
"Xu Shu, you must be happy!"
It's time to let go...
