Chapter 557: The Lord of the West Palace
Wu Zhongyuan called the palace people to help the old blind man out of the palace, and he left the Zhongtian Hall and went to the harem.
There are three palaces in the harem, and each of them is equipped with a maid, but at this time, only the west palace has a master.
Outside the gate of every palace and pavilion there is a windproof oil lamp, the lamp base is carved from bluestone, about seven feet high, and the built-in copper lamp, if this oil lamp is on, it means that the owner has not fallen asleep, if it is extinguished, it means that the master is asleep.
At this time, there is no turning over the brand, whoever is convenient for the servant will light the oil lamp in front of the palace pavilion, and the king can choose the palace pavilion with the lights according to his mood, and he can go for a day or every day. However, according to the regulations, the king of palaces and pavilions without lights cannot go, which is also a kind of respect for women, the king can not come, and the queen and concubine can not let the king come.
The oil lamp in front of the West Palace was on, indicating that Jiang Nan had not slept yet.
Before that, there was no owner in the three palaces, Wu Zhongyuan had always rested alone in the middle palace, this time Jiang Nan entered the West Palace, he couldn't sleep by himself anymore, this is not about etiquette and regulations, but disrespect for Jiang Nan.
If it were someone else, as soon as he heard that he was going to enter the cave room, he would definitely go to the fart, but Wu Zhongyuan began to get entangled again, in fact, he was still very simple in dealing with other things, but he couldn't do it simply for men and women, he grew up in modern times, and the concept of marriage and love that was instilled was monogamy, but monogamy was completely in conflict with the three wives and four concubines at this time.
To tell the truth from a man's standpoint, all men want to occupy more mates, this is the nature of male animals, there is no one who does not want to occupy more, only those who cannot afford to take up more.
Tangled is entangled, not very tangled, people's ideologies are guided and shaped by those in power according to the needs of social stability, the biggest advantage of monogamy is that every man can marry a wife, which is conducive to social stability. Three wives and four concubines do not work in modern times, but they are very suitable for the actual situation at this time.
Don't want to be a bitch again.I'm going to set up an archway again.,In fact, you shouldn't even have this kind of thought.,This kind of thing is normal at this time.。
On the top of the right side of the gate hangs a small gong, which acts like a modern doorbell, but this thing has another use, and can be heard when you knock on the harem, which roughly means to tell the other wives and wives that the king has gone to someone's house, and you can wash and sleep.
Wu Zhongyuan doesn't like this kind of behavior of having to beat gongs and drums to sleep, but the rules should be observed, "dang~"
As soon as the gong sounded, Jiang Nan soon greeted him, there was a palace maid in the West Palace, but according to the etiquette, his wife should come out to greet him in person.
Wu Zhongyuan smiled, Jiang Nan also smiled, the husband and wife went to the house, and the palace maid did the closing of the door, Wu Zhongyuan walked a few steps and turned back, he forgot to hang the small mallet back after striking the gong just now.
Because it is winter, there is a brazier in the house, and the brazier in the palace is not the same as the brazier used by the people, it is divided into two layers, similar to the stove, and towels can be dried around it, and food can be warmed on it.
Seeing the porridge and vegetables warm on the brazier, Wu Zhongyuan asked casually, "How do you know I'm coming?"
Jiang Nan helped Wu Zhongyuan untie his cloak, and then took the bow and arrow and long sword he handed over, "You only canonized me, where can you go if you don't come to me?"
"Oops, I'm exhausted. Wu Zhongyuan stretched his waist.
"It's hard for you to be relaxed for a long time to come. Jiang Nan said.
Wu Zhongyuan sat down, Jiang Nan held the pot and poured tea, she was the princess of the Niu clan, she was used to the service of the palace maid, and she naturally handed over the trivial tasks of serving porridge and serving wine to the palace maid.
Due to the presence of the palace maid, Wu Zhongyuan did not talk about confidential matters, but just gossip, "How is it, are you still in the habit of living?"
"That's good. Jiang Nan said.
"Accompany me tomorrow to worship my ancestors. Wu Zhongyuan said that at this time, the heaviest sacrifice, all kinds of sacrifices are strictly regulated, but not at any time you can run to your parents' grave to cry.
"Good. Jiang Nan nodded.
Before coming in, Wu Zhongyuan thought it would be awkward, the so-called awkwardness is not that there is any disharmony between the two, but that he thinks that he will feel that being close to other women is a harm to Wang Xinran, but at this time he does not have this awkward feeling, they are all his own women, and he treats them equally and kindly, he is originally a person in ancient times, and he can't always follow the modern way of life because he has lived in modern times for eighteen years, and he can't have the so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The palace maid retired after doing her part, and as soon as the door closed, only the husband and wife were left in the house.
Jiang Nan got up from his seat, walked to Wu Zhongyuan and knelt down on his knees.
"What are you doing here?" Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly put down the teacup and helped out.
Jiang Nan is also too Xuan Xiuwei, she doesn't get up, and Wu Zhongyuan is inconvenient to use the aura deadlift, Jiang Nan said solemnly, "My father is guilty, and I can't be forgiven, thank you for the favor of the saint, and even love and sympathy." ”
"Why are you so out of sight? Hurry up. Wu Zhongyuan frowned.
Jiang Nan stood up and returned to the Kun seat, "Holy ......"
"Don't be a saint, I listen awkward," Wu Zhongyuan interrupted Wu Di's words, "There is no way to have outsiders present, I can't make them feel that I have no fight at all, and you can shout whatever you should shout when no one is around." ”
Jiang Nan is not a person who twists, and when he heard Wu Zhongyuan say this, he didn't continue to insist, and said while getting up and pouring wine, "Zhongyuan, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you." ”
"I know what you want to ask," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have withdrawn my aura and let them go, it's too dangerous, you must know that this is not my own business, but the safety of everyone in the bear clan, I am suspected of doing this for personal gain, as a great Wu, I shouldn't risk the fate of the bear clan." ”
"Thank you. Jiang Nan was very moved.
"In your opinion, will I regret it in the future?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"No," Jiang Nan shook his head, "As my father said, he has never trusted anyone in his life, but he believes in you now." Prince Li is a righteous and hot-blooded man, if you spare his life and reward him with the green dragon armor, he will be loyal to the Lord and will never rebel against his word. ”
"I don't feel sorry either," Wu Zhongyuan nodded and raised his glass, "Come, toast you." ”
Jiang Nan raised his glass, and the husband and wife drank together.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little hungry, and served a bowl to eat, "I was busy before, I have been running around, I haven't talked to you for a long time, if you have anything to say, you can say anything you need me to do." ”
"I know you're busy, but I'm not good at handling government affairs, and I can't help you, and I don't have anything to worry about you," Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "But there's one thing I've been worried about." ”
"What are you worried about? Worried that Wu Di is uncomfortable?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
Jiang Nan shook his head, "Let's talk about Wu Di's Taixuan later, I'm worried about my father, I know my father, although he remembered yesterday's incident and surrendered sincerely, but his father cares about gains and losses, and cares about interests. ”
"Haha," Wu Zhongyuan smiled, "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, you can rest assured, as long as you don't lose your loyalty, the gains and losses are trivial." ”
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan say this, Jiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, as she herself said, she knows her father too well, that is a profiteer who can't afford to make a profit, and Li Tai is a reckless man with a lot of courage and little scheming, after the previous incident, Li Tai can't wait to dedicate everything to Wu Zhongyuan, and when the two princes are compared in the future, Jiang Zheng will definitely be an unpleasant master.
"You mentioned Wu Di just now, she made a contribution today, why don't you take the opportunity to canonize her?" Jiang Nan poured wine from the pot.
"What I hate the most is that others deceive me, she and Xiangguo are engaged in conspiracy behind my back, and almost trapped me in injustice, I forgive her, isn't it too cheap for her?" Wu Zhongyuan put down his rice bowl, picked up the wine glass, and then drank with Jiang Nan, and then put down the wine glass and continued to eat, "Wu Di is very smart, but she is not thoughtful, like this kind of thing, even if she wants to do it, it should be planned carefully, they are good, and they don't remind me in advance, so I was embarrassed and almost died." ”
"They probably didn't expect that their father and Prince Li would do it so early, she just didn't want to ......"
"You don't have to intercede with her," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I have my own measure." ”
Wu Zhongyuan made the final decision, and Jiang Nan was inconvenient to say anything.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "In a few days, I have to call your father over and ask him about some things back then, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to settle old accounts, I just want to know who pulled him to unite with the bird clan to attack Youxiong." Also, he had been in contact with Huang Sheng of the Demon Clan before, and the five seals would disappear at the end of this year, and my understanding of the other five realms was still insufficient, so I had to learn as much as I could. ”
"Don't worry, I won't be misunderstood, I trust you. Jiang Nan nodded.
"Damn," Wu Zhongyuan scolded casually, "How come this seal hasn't disappeared yet, the Quartet Divine Beast hasn't passed away yet, and the tentacles of the Five Daos have already stretched out, what is wrong?"
This is a question that has plagued Wu Zhongyuan for a long time, Jiang Nan naturally couldn't answer it, but reached into his arms, took out the white soul stone and handed it over, "Yesterday the incident happened suddenly, I can't take and deliver the body of the illusion beast, you take this thing, you need it more than me." ”
"I don't want it, you take it. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
Jiang Nan handed it again, "I can't use it, and now that you are the Yellow Emperor, you have become the target of the five realms, and you need to be careful to guard against it." ”
"If I say no, I won't ......" Wu Zhongyuan suddenly remembered something when he said this, took the soul stone and frowned, and after a while, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and took the tea and rinsed his mouth, "Let's go, accompany me to the Zhongtian Palace." ”
"What are you doing?" Jiang Nan was puzzled.
"I once got a mysterious chest with a nine-yin candle dragon carved on the inside, and I suspect it is a set of candle dragon armor. The Soul Stone is the eye of the candle dragon, let's go over and compare it to see if this soul stone can be placed in the eye socket of the candle dragon on the box. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"What if it's right?" Jiang Nan took Wu Zhongyuan's cloak from the hanger.
"Two soul stones, one black and one white, the black one belongs to the yin, which can protect the immortality of the original god, and the white one belongs to the eyes, which can protect the body from injury, and the yin and yang are complete, this set of armor is invincible, if this white one is right, we have to go to Kunlun Mountain again......"
