Marriage of the Di Daughter

The carriage was driving at night, the familiar distance, the familiar night breeze, Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage, but she was in a strange mood.

The fate in the world is probably very strange. From Tongxiang to Yanjing City, thousands of miles away, I didn't expect that she would marry from Tongxiang to Yanjing, and there would be such entanglements with the Shen family in her previous life. And the grievances between Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning turned her into Jiang Li, and after becoming Jiang Li, many people she met, inexplicably made her and Ji Heng have an intersection.

The road between Guogong's Mansion and Jiang's Mansion was actually only a year or so ago, and she seemed to be very familiar with it. So much so that when we parted, we felt reluctance to part with each other. From the surprise at the beginning, I felt that the act of leaving the house at night was really unimaginable, but later I got used to it and even went to take the initiative. When did the change happen, no one found out.

In the future, there will be no such actions, nor will there be such feelings. That kind of uneasiness, anticipation and peace of mind, complicated and intertwined feelings, I don't think there will be any more. Jiang Li doesn't know if she will be sad in the future, maybe she will be a little sad when she thinks about it, but she really doesn't regret it. Although she left Yanjing and her stable life, she could take her father and bring Xue Zhao back to her hometown, or even take Xue Zhao's ashes to travel all over the world, which can be regarded as fulfilling Xue Zhao's old dream.

I have been imprisoned in the house for the first half of my life, and it is time to fly out. Freedom is precious in life.

So the corners of her mouth raised slightly again, and the previous sadness disappeared. Even if she wanted to say goodbye, she should say goodbye with a smile. Compared with her who just became Miss Jiang Er, everything is much better now than she thought at the beginning. The vengeance between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong has been avenged, and her father is still alive, so she can still have a future, which is not bad after all.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Li jumped off the carriage, and followed Zhao Ke to the Duke's Mansion.

Every time I go to the Duke's Mansion, there are various things, and Jiang Li doesn't take it seriously. She takes a good look at the Duke's Mansion. Wood is engraved in my mind and I remember it clearly, so that when I recall it in the future, I can also store it for many years, instead of the memory becoming blurred as the years pass, and I forget what the place I have been to is like.

Zhao Ke saw her strange behavior, and Zhao Ke became more and more baffled. When he arrived in the yard, Zhao Ke asked Jiang Li to wait here first, and then went to report by himself. After a while, Zhao Ke said: "My lord is in the study. I come."

Jiang Li followed Zhao Ke to Ji Heng's study, the door of the study was ajar, Jiang Li opened the door and walked in, Zhao Ke closed the door behind him.

Ji Heng was sitting in front of the table. He was looking at things like booklets. The table was piled high. When he saw Jiang Li coming, he stood up and ignored the booklets. He walked to the small table and sat down, saying, "Why do you coming?"

There were still two teacups and a pot on the table, and he naturally gave Jiang Li a cup of tea, as he had done countless times in the past, which seemed to him almost a habit, and with Jiang Li, it was almost done. nature. Jiang Li followed and sat down, Ji Heng pushed the teacup in front of her, poured tea for herself slowly, and said, "Why don't you talk? What's the trouble?"

Jiang Li suddenly laughed, and Ji Heng said this, as if every time she came, it was not a good thing, and she came to ask for help with a lot of trouble. But after thinking about it, Ji Heng was right, and what he said was so powerful, in fact, he handled it properly for her every time.

Jiang Li picked up the teacup on the table. The tea she drank in summer was air-dried in advance. It was slightly bitter but fragrant with the slight coolness of the evening breeze. Jiang Li smiled and said: "Actually, I came today to say goodbye to the Duke."

Ji Heng stopped drinking tea, put down the teacup, looked at Jiang Li, his amber eyes had an expression of ambiguity, and asked, "Farewell?"

"Over the past year, I would like to thank the Duke for taking care of me. Although I have always said that the Duke will need it in the future, I will definitely do my best to help. The Duke always says that I am lying. Now it seems that the country may The Lord is right, I probably have to break my promise." She smiled softly, "I am leaving Yanjing City, and I probably won't come back in the future. Before I leave, I hope to say goodbye to the Lord, otherwise I won't say goodbye. And don’t do such a thing, it’s too unconscionable.”

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by that, you won't be back in the future? Does Jiang Yuanbai know about this?"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I kept it from him, or in other words, I want to leave Jiang's house and Yanjing."

"This isn't leaving, it's fleeing." Ji Heng asked, "What did the Jiang family force you to do?"

Jiang Li smiled and shook her head: "It's my own idea."

"It's about Yin Zhili."

Jiang Li paused.

The young man was holding a teacup, but the teacup made his hands very beautiful. He looked indifferent, but his tone was firm, and he said, "The Yin family forced a marriage?"

He actually guessed it?

Jiang Li thought so too. Since Ji Heng has been paying attention to the Yin family all day long, he naturally knows what Yin Zhan's plan was before, and it's not hard to guess why he is leaving in such a hurry.

Ji Heng frowned: "How dare they force the marriage?"

"It's a marriage gift." Now that Jiheng knew about it, Jiang Li didn't plan to hide it, she said: "My servant girl heard the conversation between my father and the old lady. Yin Zhan interrupted the celebration banquet, and your majesty will reward you for your merits." At that time, I exchanged my military exploits for a marriage, and gave Yin Zhili and me a marriage."

After saying this, Jiang Li felt the room became colder, because it was a hot summer day, the feeling of cooling down was particularly strong.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, he was still smiling, but no matter how you looked at that smile, he was leaning on the chair, it was probably at night, his clothes were only on the outside, revealing the inner shirt, which was also open at will With his collarbone exposed, his skin is white, which complements his whole personality, making him even more attractive at night.

Jiang Li turned her eyes away, and said: "If he really grants the marriage, I have no other choice. Father and the old lady seem to like Yin Zhili very much."

"You ran away because you didn't want to marry Yin Zhili?" He stared at Jiang Li and asked.

"Yes." Jiang Li replied very straightforwardly, "But I have no other way for the time being. I have also persuaded the Jiang family not to get too close to the Yin family, but my father refused to listen. I also want to ask you for something. , if you confront the Yin family in the future, I believe the Yin family is not your opponent, can you spare the Jiang family and at least save their lives?"

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "No."

Jiang Li said: "Why?"

"They are not your real family members. Why do you want to protect Jiang's family? Jiang Yuanbai now treats you as a bargaining chip. If I were you, I would kill them all." He said lightly, but there was murderous intent in his eyes, Jiang Yuanbai Li knew that Ji Heng was not lying.

"No matter how you say it, after I became the second Miss Jiang, the Jiang family also gave me a place to stay. I'm not trying to threaten the Duke, but I just hope that I can be ashamed of my heart. If I don’t do it, it has nothing to do with me. Before I leave, I will leave a letter to remind my father.” Jiang Li said: “Similarly, whether he is willing to listen or not depends on the luck of the Jiang family.”

"You are really kind." His tone was slightly mocking, wondering if he disagreed with Jiang Li's approach. He suddenly leaned closer and asked, "Why don't you want to marry Yin Zhili?"

Why?

The night wind blew the shadows of the trees outside, and Jiang Li felt that Ji Heng asked this question very strangely, and she said: "Of course it's because I don't like Mr. Yin, and I don't plan to get married, so I won't marry Mr. Yin." Married. The Duke also knows that I have been married, and I have been cheated and hurt. Getting married is no longer something that must be done for me in this life. "

"What if you meet someone you really like?" He leaned forward and approached him bullyingly, "You don't plan to marry either?"

The distance between him and herself was too close, Jiang Li almost held her breath, she wanted to turn her head away, but she bumped into Ji Heng's eyes again, when she first saw this young man's beauty, the phoenix eyes were narrow and affectionate, now she fell Once you get into her amber eyes, it's hard to get out again.

"No," she forced herself to calm down, only smiled and said, "I haven't met someone I like for now, so I don't need to think about these unnecessary problems. When I do meet one day, let's talk about what to do at that time."

The girl's posture is evasive, but she wants to pretend to be serious. She is really cute. She has been married once and has been hurt once, but she doesn't seem to know how to protect herself, or she is confident, brave or reckless. Forget it, she still likes people, and she won't be affected by some external things and become another person.

Perhaps the current Jiangli, the Jiangli who has lost her hatred, is actually no different from Xue Fangfei when she was a girl.

Ji Heng couldn't help but moved closer. He tilted his head and looked at her carefully. His eyes were sharp and gentle, which taught even a sober person to sink. He said, "You're lying."

Jiang Li looked up at him: "Why?"

"The reason why you don't want to marry Yin Zhili, I know." His voice was low and mellow, crawling over people's hearts, it was numb, as if his acupuncture points had been tapped, and he couldn't move, so he could only look at him with a seductive smile, As he got closer, he said, "I already knew that you liked me."

With a "boom", something exploded in Jiang Li's mind. In her panic, she subconsciously wanted to deny, "No, I didn't..."

The next moment, her lips were blocked.

The young man's face was close at hand, Jiang Li opened her eyes wide in shock, and could see his eyelashes clearly, his lips were soft and warm, lingering between her lips and teeth, he held Jiang Li's back of the head with one hand, She brought it in front of her, deepening the kiss.

No one would be able to hold back after being kissed by Ji Heng and not indulge in it, even Jiang Li. His expression was gentle but his movements were firm. Jiang Li struggled several times before pushing him away.

She covered her lips, looked at the young man opposite, and said, "Ji Heng, you!"

"Angry?" He said, "They all call me by my first name." Ji Heng smiled, and approached again with a hoarse voice. He looked down at Jiang Li, his eyes loving and soft, and he said, "You like me This matter, I know, then I like you, do you know?"

Jiang Li was stunned.

He looked at her leisurely, and couldn't hide his pleasant smile. Jiang Li was a little embarrassed by his gaze, and she said dumbly: "What did you say..."

"I didn't want to involve you so quickly, little girl," he touched Jiang Li's hair, and pinned the hanging hair back for Jiang Li, "but you seem a little impatient, I can't let you run away .”

His movements were natural, as if he had done such a thing countless times, but Jiang Li was a little at a loss. For Ji Heng, she thought that the other party really regarded her as a friend, no matter whether the care and concern was sympathy or a whim, it had nothing to do with liking. A person like him probably wouldn't fall in love with others. But what he said at the moment made Jiang Li have to doubt herself.

"Do you like me?" she asked softly.

The girl's eyes were pure and genuinely suspicious, which was really rare. Ji Heng couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying, "Of course."

Jiang Li said: "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "I look like someone who can lie to women?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "It's not like that."

Ji Heng would never lie to a woman, not because he was so upright and upright, but because he was too lazy to do it. For him, many things were easy to do. Of course, he doesn't need to bother to deceive, as long as he is a little gentler, someone will fall for him and follow him.

"So you don't have to leave Yanjing City." Ji Heng said, "I'll find a way."

Jiang Li was puzzled: "What can you do? Yin Zhan's idea was to bestow a marriage from the royal family. Now that he has won the battle, the emperor trusts him. If he wants to exchange military exploits for a marriage, the emperor will not disagree. You can't openly resist the order." .”

"You don't have to worry," he said with a smile, "he won't have this opportunity, and he's not the only one who will ask for a marriage."

Jiang Li was stunned: "You..."

"Little girl, are you willing to marry me?" He raised his eyebrows.

He yelled very naturally, obviously he knew that he was married and was a woman, but he always called her by such an intimate name. It also caused Jiang Li to have an illusion in a trance. Everything in her previous life was a big dream. She had already dreamed about Wuhen. She is still a carefree girl, and she can be cared for in the palm of her hand, which is the most precious thing.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to agree to me for the time being," Ji Heng wrote lightly, "We'll wait until the day you agree, but I think, since you like me so much, you will be willing sooner or later, right?"

Jiangli: "No."

Ji Heng said, "You're lying."

"I don't know if you will become the second Shen Yurong," Jiang Li smiled generously, "I can like someone, and I can trust someone, but now I won't do things for him without a bottom line. Whatever you do, you will learn a lot from what you eat, Ji Heng, I have to love myself first, and then love others."

She thought that Ji Heng would be angry when he heard this, and even thought she was just, but he just smiled and patted her head, saying: "That's good, you don't have to get hurt, and I don't worry."

Jiang Li looked at him, his eyes were more serious than ever before, he didn't lie, what he said was true.

"I never think that selflessness is a good thing." Ji Heng said softly: "But I think it doesn't matter if you can't learn to be selfish. I will do those things, and you only do what you want to do."

Jiang Li lowered her head and unconsciously grabbed the fan in her hand with her fingers. It was the fan that Yin Zhiqing gave her. The summer in Yanjing City is very hot. This fan is easy to use, so Jiang Li took it with her. Ji Heng saw her movements, and Ji Heng's eyes fell on her. There was a slight pause on the fan, and the next moment, she took the fan from her hand.

"The fan Yin Zhili gave you?" he asked.

Jiang Li nodded, then shook her head: "It's from Yin Zhiqing."

With a smile on the corner of Ji Heng's mouth, he slowly showed the fan. There was a pear flower on the top of the fan, but a small lotus flower was engraved on the handle. The fan handle was originally made of white jade. Snow white, such a lotus flower engraved is really cute when tapped, showing every detail.

Ji Heng calmed down and said leisurely: "Yin Zhili is really generous, but there is something wrong with his eyes. What white lotus is clearly a cannibal flower that eats people but does not spit out bones."

Jiang Li was stunned at first, but then she understood what Ji Heng said. She immediately came back to her senses and said, "How do you know what Yin Zhili said to me? Is Zhao Ke still staying in Jiang's mansion?"

"I don't worry about leaving my little girl alone in a place like Jiangli," he said, "Of course people will stare at you."

If he wants to coax someone, he is afraid that he will be worthy of him. Jiang Li felt a little touched, and saw the fan in his hand, and said to her: "I confiscated this fan."

"This is mine." Jiang Li said.

"Your things?" The corners of his lips curled up, and he suddenly reached out to hold Jiang Li's chin, and stretched out his other hand to caress her lips, warning: "Little girl, you will take in another man in the future." Try something."

Jiang Li fell silent.

His fingertips were slightly cool, and he rubbed against her lips, but it seemed as if they were about to be burned. Jiang Lifu thought of the kiss that he caught off guard just now, and his face became even hotter.

In a trance, she only heard Ji Heng chuckle lightly, and he said, "I saw you were so courageous, why are you so afraid of me now?"

"I'm not afraid of you." Jiang Li broke free from his hand and said, "It's just that I'm not used to it."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it in the future."

Jiang Li looked at him and fell silent. Ji Heng just waited patiently. After a while, she asked, "Will I change your plan? If you want to stop the Yin family's marriage, It is bound to make the Yin family pay attention to you, and by then, will it change your business?"

"Yin Zhan has noticed me a long time ago, it doesn't matter if you are married or not." Ji Heng smiled slightly and comforted her: "You don't have to worry about it."

"I still don't understand what the grievances between Yin Zhan and you are. If you don't want to talk about it now, I won't ask. However, what is his purpose for returning to Yanjing City? I'm afraid it's not just Yin Zhili himself who married the Jiang family I'm not a stunning fairy, Yin Zhili won't fall in love with me after meeting me once, why?"

Jiang Li still finds it very strange, if she doesn't know Yin Zhan's purpose, Jiang Li doesn't know how to guide the Jiang family.

"Li Zhongnan is dead now, and the head of civil servants is Jiang Yuanbai." Ji Heng said calmly: "If you win over Jiang Yuanbai, half of the power in the court will be won over."

When Jiang Li heard that he used the word "woo", her heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out: "He wants to be the second king?"

Ji Heng smiled and said, "Is there any better reason?"

"Why?" Jiang Li became more and more confused, "If he wants to usurp the throne, he has been unknown in the cloud for so many years, why wait until now, can't he do it when the emperor is young?"

"Your Majesty wants to grow, King Cheng wants to grow, and King Xia must grow even more. Otherwise, why do you think that the reason why the late emperor expelled King Xia to Yunzhong was because the late emperor found some clues, but there is no more evidence. , Suspicious in my heart, I can only expel it. In the final analysis, the late emperor missed the past, if I..." Ji Heng said casually: "I will never raise a tiger."

"He and you..."

"Hush," Ji Heng made a silent gesture, and smiled at Jiang Li: "You don't need to know a lot of things. The more you know, the more dangerous you are. I like you so much, but I don't want anything to happen to you."

He speaks love words as soon as he opens his mouth, but he doesn't make people feel tired of hypocrisy. Jiang Li also accepted it naturally. The relationship between the two of them, as early as the initial trial and calculation, met by chance, and gradually became friends and confidants, and even became what it is now.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this.

What Ji Heng didn't want to say, she couldn't find out no matter how much she asked. Just hearing Yin Zhan's treasonous heart still surprised her.

"Father... the Jiang family won't be implicated, right?"

"As long as your marriage with Yin Zhili fails, there is nothing to worry about." Ji Heng said calmly, "Jiang Yuanbai is a man who has no heart and no guts. He would never dare to do such a thing. Yin Zhili's previous The Jiang family may not know the idea. Once Yin Zhan shows his ambition, Jiang Yuanbai will naturally back away."

"I just think that if the emperor misunderstands that the Jiang family is as greedy as the Yin family, he will turn his back..." She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does the emperor know about this?"

Ji Heng just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Li immediately understood what Ji Heng meant, and Emperor Hong Xiao knew it. Emperor Hong Xiao really hid it deeper than everyone imagined. I don't know if Yin Zhan knew about this, but maybe even if Yin Zhan knew about it, he didn't take it seriously. For Yin Zhan, his army was strong, and the Imperial Forest Army in Yanjing City was no match for him.

But Ji Heng didn't seem to be afraid of Yin Zhan's intentions.

Could it be the lost Tiger Talisman...

"Little girl, stop thinking about it." He said, "As long as you stay at the house obediently, everything will be resolved."

"Ji Heng," Jiang Li looked into his eyes, "don't let anything happen to you."

Ji Heng paused for a moment, then laughed, his smile was particularly bewitching, the moles in his eyes were as red as blood, his voice was gentle, and he said: "Okay."

The night was just right, and the moonlight was neither too dark nor too light, as if he knew that this night was worth remembering, so he went crazy and beautiful.

After talking with Ji Heng, Jiang Li was also ready to go back. She was going to say goodbye to Ji Heng today, but for some reason, she became confused and opened up her heart to him instead. She is an honest person, and before she avenges Xue's family, there is still some leeway. The big revenge has been avenged Afterwards, the past was like smoke, and she was as open-minded as before.

But thankfully, the other party also likes her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

She once thought that after loving someone once, she would not easily fall in love with another person and trust another person, but it was probably unreasonable to like this thing. It is also a good thing that she can continue to love her without fear of getting hurt. If my father and Ah Zhao knew about it, they would be happy for her too.

Of course, this time, she will not blindly lose herself for the other party and become another person. Love has never been supported by one person's compromise.

With these in mind, she walked out with Ji Heng. Ji Heng took her hand, this time, he didn't hold Jiang Li's sleeve again. His palm was long and wide, and he held Jiang Li's hand in his palm, as if he would never let go.

"Smiling so happily." Ji Heng said: "It seems that you like me very much."

"It's so tight," Jiang Li immediately countered, "It seems that you are very afraid that I will run away."

"What's so scary," he snorted softly, "If you go to the ends of the earth, I will always find a way to catch you back."

Jiang Li sneered, and didn't bother to tell him that Ji Heng was going to take him to the carriage at the gate of the house. When the two passed the flower garden, they found a person sitting by the yard. The man was struggling to support the chair with both hands, in a strange posture.

Seeing that figure from behind, Jiang Li felt her heart skip a beat, and asked inexplicably, "That's..."

Ji Heng also looked over there.

"That's the kid who was rescued before," Zhao Ke explained, "he had a broken leg, and Miss Situ wouldn't let him walk, so he sat in a wheelchair during the day. , secretly ran out at night to practice walking." He sighed: "It's a hard bone, but it's a pity, martial arts are abolished, Miss Situ also said, he can't stand up again, why is he so stubborn?"

Jiang Li looked at the back of that person, as Zhao Ke said, it was extremely difficult for that person to stand up. The chair was leaning against the window of the house door, and he put his hands on the window sill, trying to prop himself up, but after a lot of effort, he could only prop up a little bit, and soon fell down with a "plop". Going down, the sound made Jiang Li feel pain for him.

Ji Heng said: "Let him go back."

Under the shadow of the moon, this shadow is really sad to see. Even if there is only a blurred back, it is strange, and suddenly Jiang Li feels heartache. She doesn't know why, so she stops and stares straight at the chair people, but they don't know why they do it.

Zhao Ke got Ji Heng's order, so he walked towards the man, and shouted as he walked, "Ah Zhao, don't practice, it's so late, and others have to sleep. My lord told you to go back and rest."

When Jiang Li heard it, she trembled all over, and she asked back, "Ah...Zhao?"
