(
After the Empress Dowager Qi Zhao and the eldest princess of Jinling stayed in the Tai'an Imperial Mausoleum for a hundred days, a new chapter finally began in the court.
Emperor Xiao Rong of Qi'an issued an edict that Zen be located in the powerful minister Zhou Yi. In the same month, Zhou Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the southern suburbs of Jiankang. The heads of the Wang and Xie families presided over the ascension ceremony. The country's name was Liang, which was Emperor Wu of Liang, and was known as Nanliang in history.
In the winter of the twelfth lunar month in the early years of Liang Wu, Xiao Rong, the deposed emperor, asked himself to guard the Tai'an imperial mausoleum as the late emperor and would not leave it for the rest of his life.
The new emperor demoted Queen Mother Qi Zhao to a commoner and returned to her mother's family, the Chen family. The eldest princess of Jinling confiscated her land, retained her title and mansion, and was demoted to the title of Lord of Jinling Township.It's cold, people are quiet, and snow is falling. As soon as the master of the Xiangjun Mansion came back, someone from the Xie family came to the door hurriedly.
When the man rushed into the room with a cold air all over his body, Xiao Jiaojiao sat through the window and stared at the snow outside the courtyard.
This was the first time Xie Xuan saw her after the late emperor left.
The princess lived in the Tai'an Imperial Tomb for a hundred days. Xie Xuan also went to see her several times, but was rejected by the guarding soldiers. The princess had ordered that during the period of filial piety, there would be no visitors.
It's not that I don't want to see the visitor, it's that I don't want to see him.
After that night of talking, laughing and having drunken sex, Xiao Jiaojiao changed and became cold and indifferent, not even willing to deal with him. All the good things in the past suddenly seemed like a dream.
At this moment, she was sitting under the window, her pretty eyebrows were like ice and snow, and she didn't show any emotion when he came. For example, looking at Mei, looking at snow, and looking at him, they are all regarded as dead things in her eyes.
"Princess, do you not want me anymore?" He calmed down and asked hesitantly and a little aggrieved.
Xiao Jiaojiao raised his head and said calmly: "You know everything."
Xie Xuan looked at her with pain in his eyes: "Do you promise that the Xie family will reconcile with me?"
Xiao Jiaojiao calmly replied: "Yes."
He asked again: "Marry each other, No more entanglements?"
Xiao Jiaojiao remained calm: "Yes."
Xie Xuan was aroused by her indifference and became a little angry: "Who are you going to marry? Who else do you want to marry?"
"You marry your daughter of the Cui family ? , I'm looking for my lover." Xiao Jiaojiao said slowly, pretending to be indifferent: "I'm not suitable for the Xie family, and I have no intention of being your wife." Xie Xuan shook his head and sneered: "My
lover, haha ..." He asked self-deprecatingly: "I'm no longer of use, so you just kicked me away, right?"
Xiao Jiaojiao turned away from him: "We are not suitable."
Xie Xuan saw her guilty look. , I just felt that my heart had been crushed and crushed, and even my breathing was about to freeze.
He asked in a trembling voice: "You never thought about being with me from the beginning, right?"
"Yes!" Xiao Jiaojiao looked directly at him and answered decisively: "I have no heirs, so you are the one I use to negotiate with the Xie family. "As a bargaining chip."
She described to him in detail: "Because of you, the new emperor pardoned the Queen Mother Qi Zhao and the Xiao Chen clan, and only confiscated the fiefdom and reduced my status. The Xie family also promised to give me money. Idyll, a lifetime of worry-free life. Instead of giving birth to a child and being tortured to death, and possibly having to endure the pain of mother and child separation in the future, I think it would be more cost-effective for you to negotiate terms with the Xie family." Xie Xuan asked coldly:
"Why don't you go back to the Xie family? You've made up your mind, have
n't you?" Xiao Jiaojiao raised her slender eyebrows and smiled provocatively: "Don't you have any idea whether I have an idea or not? Aren't you always very partial to me in the Xie family? Didn't you refute me in public for me? Mother? You were beaten because I disobeyed my parents, right?"
Her smile was full of malice: "Xie Xuan, I have always known it, and I feel very happy in my heart. Seeing that you have been deceiving yourself, I I also find it extremely ridiculous."
Xie Xuan did not argue with her, but looked gloomy and laughed at himself: "I deceived myself because I thought I could move you." "Do you
move me to compromise with you? Be a good wife for you, or be a concubine for you? ." Xiao Jiaojiao said with a sarcastic smile: "I said, in my eyes, what you did is just pretending to be affectionate!"
Xie Xuan had disbelief on his face, and he suppressed the pain in his heart. : "Am I not treating you well? Have you never given me any sincerity?"
Xiao Jiaojiao recalled the past, with a gentle look on his face: "I did. When we first got married, I also wanted to be your wife. "
She looked at him, returned to her cold look, and smiled weakly: "But what did you Xie Xuan give me? The indifference after every love, the ridicule of the maid Rouge, the concealment of the family's shunned son. You have never looked up to me since the beginning, and every time I pushed you to the point where you had no choice but to compromise with me."
Xiao Jiaojiao approached Xie Xuan step by step, pointing out every dark place in his heart with sharp words.
"The servants of Fufengyuan look down on me, don't you know? You know, you pretend not to see it, you are just waiting for me to beg you to give me the respect of my legitimate wife!" "The Xie
family gives me shelter, you You said that we had a bad relationship before, I understand you, but what was your attitude after I found out? You said that I was spoiled, and you were forced by me to compromise and let me have a child!" Xiao Jiaojiao saw him and remained
silent. , and sneered: "You still want me to be your concubine. If I had agreed naively at that time, do you dare to say that you did not marry Cui Yuan according to the family's wishes and put me outside?"
Xie Xuan lowered his head and was She was speechless.
Xiao Jiaojiao tore through the last bit of warmth: "Why didn't you mention that you would only give me the position of your legitimate wife before? Didn't you negotiate conditions with me before? You also said that you can only refuse to marry Cui if I do well. Now you know I don’t want to stay in Xie’s family anymore, so I asked for it, as long as I become my legitimate wife.”
She vented all her dissatisfaction, with a bit of hysteria: “Xie Ruhui, you think you are good to me, but these good things are all mine. I bowed my head to you and begged for it. I forced you like a shrew before you were willing to give it. But what I, Jin Ling, want is not this kind of love! I am also the apple of my parents' eyes. Why do I want your love? I have to keep it. Bow to you! You are still forcing me to bow to you. As long as I agree to be with you, you will not care about my identity or my feelings. You only have yourself in your eyes!" Xie Xuan was
stunned. Damn, he never thought that Xiao Jiaojiao would miss him like this. He broke the bottom line again and again for her and compromised her, but she actually said that this was not the love she wanted.
He thought for a moment and finally confessed: "Jiaojiao, I have wanted you to bow your head. But I, I just want you to love me more. You don't want to give me anything except your body." He lowered his head
. , admitted his worry about gains and losses: "Jiaojiao, do you know that if you treat me like this, I will be afraid, afraid that I am just wishful thinking. This is the first time I like a girl so much, I really like you, Jiaojiao..."
Xiao Jiaojiao Disdainfully interrupting him, her smile was cold: "Xie Xuan, I don't want to love you, and I don't want to give you anything!"
Her cold smile revealed a hint of charm, but it had more of a vicious meaning: "As for your Love, I've had enough! You don't know how to love at all! In other words, you love your family more, and you love yourself more!"
Xie Xuan's eyes were red, and he stepped forward and grabbed her by the corner of her clothes, speaking incoherently. He apologized and promised her: "Jiaojiao, I know I was wrong. I will change it in the future. I will never force you to bow your head again." He begged her in a low voice: "
Jiaojiao, I will rely on you for everything. As long as you Don't leave me. I will really change, I promise..."
Xiao Jiaojiao pulled the corner of his clothes out from between his fingers and coldly refused: "It's not a question between us whether you change or not. What I want , you can't give it."
He was still as noble and elegant as the first time they met, but he was not the young master she wanted in her heart.
She turned around, feeling a little melancholy again, and said decisively: "Maybe you can give it, but I don't dare to ask for it. Stop pestering me!"
When Xie Xuan heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his heart seemed to be torn in half, and the pain penetrated into his bones inch by inch.
Her back was slender, the soft body he had felt before.
But her heart was so cold and hard, no matter how much he hurt or hurt, she would never look back, let alone pity him.
