  On the eve of the wedding, the emperor summoned me into the palace.

  "My dear, when will you salute tomorrow?" The Emperor asked me with concern. I quietly took a look at his expression. He seemed to be smiling, but I couldn't tell what he was feeling.

  "Tomorrow, you time." I replied respectfully.

  "I won't be going tomorrow." He took out a gift box and handed it to me, "This is a wedding gift for you."

  "Thank you, Lord." I took the box. When I opened it, I saw a pair of jade hairpins, crystal clear and extremely detailed in carving.

  "Looking at you and your wife, playing the piano and playing the piano." He looked at me and said auspicious words, but he still had that calm look on his face.

  "According to the Holy Will." I replied softly. He was so calm and calm, I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: Could it be that I made a mistake? He is not the attacker of the script at all? But the system never goes wrong.

  "My dear, how about you go to Jiangnan and serve as the county governor?" He was a noble, but he asked this question in a consultative tone. Although being transferred from Kyoto to a local area meant demotion, Jiangnan had always been prosperous, so it was a good job to be a county guard there. But I can't leave. Once I leave, it will be more difficult to continue the plot.

  I hurriedly knelt down and begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if I have done something wrong and I am subject to your punishment, I am asking you not to transfer me out of Kyoto."

  He helped me up and said helplessly: "I am just trying to reconcile you. You discuss it, but you haven't made a decision yet."

  "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave Kyoto." I lowered my eyebrows, a little depressed.

  "Then don't leave." He patted my hand and coaxed me softly: "Don't be unhappy, there will be happy events tomorrow."

  I nodded and excused myself to him.

  Before I had gone far, I heard a long sigh. The breeze carried his voice outside the hall. Although the voice was small, I could hear it clearly.

  "If only I were just a prince..."

  I was a little confused. He stood at the pinnacle of power, and the world belonged to him alone. He could make clouds or rain with his hands. Moreover, he was willing to coax me, proving that he was still interested in me. If he pinned me down, I wouldn't dare to resist, I could only let him take what he wanted. Why would he rather just be a prince?

  I looked up at the sky. There were no stars or moon tonight. I was afraid that the sky would change tomorrow.

  The next day, I got up early and put on my wedding clothes. This bright red embroidered dress makes my face look rosy and bright. But my mood is not so bright, I have been extremely depressed since I woke up in the morning.

  I rode on a tall horse and left the house to meet Chen Jue's escorting procession. Xu Shen made full preparations for me. I led the welcoming team, and the scene was grand. Along the way, many people watched and talked about it.

  The journey went smoothly. I took Chen Jue to his new house and went out to entertain the guests with Xu Shen.

  Qin Ting didn't come, the emperor didn't come, the prince didn't come, who should I show this play to? I was very anxious in my heart, but I still wanted to smile and chat with others. Fortunately, Xue Yiyang came later. This play, with two spectators, can barely begin.

  When it was almost time to arrive, Xiniang helped Chen Jue out. I stepped forward to support him and stood with him in front of the hall door. Because my parents died young, I was brought up by my eldest brother, so Xu Shen sat in the hall.

  "Bow down to heaven and earth!" the ceremony officer said loudly.

  I pulled Chen Jue to his knees and worshiped heaven and earth.

  "Second thanks to the high hall!"

  I didn't move and just looked at Xu Shen in the hall. He had a smile on his face, and anyone who looked at him would feel that he was happy for me. Xu Shen, are you really happy?

  Seeing that I didn't move, he looked at me and frowned slightly, reminding me that it was time to salute. I lowered my eyes and knelt down.

  Maybe it's going to rain today, but I just feel my chest is tight, I can't breathe, and I feel very unhappy.

  "Husband and wife bow to each other!" This is the last kneeling ceremony. After the ceremony, I became a married man.

  "Wait!" At this time, a voice from outside the door interrupted us. I turned around and saw that it was the prince. His clothes were messy and his hair crown could not fall off, as if he had been in a fight with someone.

  "Your Highness, today is my younger brother's big day. I apologize for the delay in welcoming you from afar. Please come here." Xu Shen stood up in a hurry and went over to pull the prince. Xue Yiyang also stepped forward and held down the prince's wrist.

  "Husband and wife bow to each other!" The ceremony officer received Xu Shen's signal and continued to sing.

  I glanced at the three people opposite me, turned around and bowed to Chen Jue.

  "The ceremony is completed! Send him to the bridal chamber!"

  Chen Jue was helped out by Xiniang and sent to the bridal chamber.

  "Come with me." I walked up to the prince and whispered. He nodded and followed me obediently to the backyard.

  "Your Highness, aren't you restricted from visiting the East Palace? It's better to go back early." I advised earnestly.

  "Brother Jinxing," he lifted his robe and knelt down, looking up at me with regret in his eyes: "I was wrong that day. If I had seen clearly that it was you, I would never have done that kind of thing."

  He This is the prince, who only kneels to heaven, earth and the Holy One, but now he bows his knees to me.

  "Get up!" I wanted to help him, but he refused to get up.

  "Brother Jinxing...can you...forgive me?" He hugged my waist and cried.

  I touched his head and said softly: "You have been punished too, and this matter is over."

  "Then can you not want to get married?" He thought that I was soft-hearted, so he asked even more.

  "The ceremony is complete, Chen Ying and I are now husband and wife." I opened his hand and took a step back. He made a mistake, I'm not soft-hearted, I just don't care about it at all.

  "Then can you be separated from her?" His eyes were full of pleading, like a pitiful puppy.

  "Your Highness is joking. How could I be separated from her? She is my first wife, the one who will be with me for the rest of my life." I chuckled, expressing my feelings.

  "What about me?" His eyes were red and he wanted to cry.

  "Your Highness, you are the future prince, and I am your minister, that's all." I said coldly.

  "But that's not what you said before!" He widened his eyes to prevent tears from flowing down.

  "That was also before." I paused, "You should go back."

  "No! You still refuse to forgive me, I know it! If you don't forgive me, I won't get up!" He said stubbornly.

  "That's up to you." I waved my sleeves and left, glancing at Xu Shen standing in the corner from the corner of my eye. My brother, are you satisfied?

  I went back to the hall and drank with everyone. At this time, the sky became darker and it started pouring rain outside.

  I don't know if the child is still kneeling in the rain...

  Today's Small Theater

  Xu Jinxing: Brother, you can take care of your heart but not your heart, do you want to make a date?

  Xu Shen: Brother, if you are distracted by your heart and not your kidneys, are you here?

  Zhao Yi felt aggrieved: Mom, brother Jinxing doesn't want me anymore...

  The author dragged Zhao Yi away and touched his head: Be good, leave the home court to your brothers...

  That's right! Let's place a bet. Is it the big Xu Sheng or the little Xu Sheng?
