Chapter 42: Qingtao's Dream

Qingtao was in a coma, but he had a dream, and the dream suddenly went back to the past, which was the scene where he met with Canghai and his cousin Xiaoya at one time: at that time, although he was in the year of establishment, he had been busy with the southern and northern wars, and he had no time to arrange the major events of his life. Finally, the war in all parts of Deep Blue was settled, and he decided to confess his heart to his cousin Xiaoya, and he brought a necklace he bought on the way back from the end of the battle.

That day, early in the morning, he asked a girl who was very close to his cousin to help him make an appointment with him, and asked her to wait for him in the grove. While his cousin was waiting for him, he crept up behind his cousin and blindfolded her charming eyes.

"Guess who I am? Guess right, I'll let it go." ”

"Cousin, don't make trouble, I know it's you, say, tell me to come here, what's the matter?" Xiao Ya was blindfolded by him, but her voice was heard very clearly.

So, he let go of his hands, but he was still standing behind his cousin.

"Don't move, my cousin has a gift for you, wait for me, don't rush to turn around yet. "Say it. He took his necklace out of the box he was carrying with him and put it on for his cousin with his own hands. After putting it on, he told his cousin to turn around.

"Cousin, why did you give me such a valuable gift?" Although my cousin accepted my cousin's heart, she didn't know why he gave herself such a gift.

"Because I like you, we have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and I plan to propose to your father and marry you!"

"No, you can't. It wasn't until he began to pour out his love to her that she couldn't help but shed tears and shook her head.

He thought that his cousin liked him, but he deliberately didn't want to talk about marriage. But he couldn't care much about being young and vigorous, so he hugged his cousin all of a sudden, watching her soft body being hugged tightly by himself.

However, his cousin was not as obedient as he imagined, and was forcibly hugged by himself, but struggled desperately. In a panic, Xiaoya shouted: "I already have someone in mind, you let me go, otherwise he will kill you." Finally, she broke free, and she didn't care about the pain, so she ripped the necklace off her neck, gave it back to him, and slapped him in front of him, without looking back, and ran away vigorously.

Only Qingtao stood stupidly in place, motionless. He thought to himself: Impossible, my cousin has been my childhood sweetheart since she was a child, how could she fall in love with someone else? Could it be that the person she is interested in is Canghai, my good brother, the good big brother who is more than ten years older than me, no, it can't be him? This bastard has taken away my favorite. No, maybe my cousin just doesn't like me being so rude?

At this time, Canghai happened to go to the vicinity to relax, and the three of them met by chance, and the scene just now was also seen by him. Looking at Xiao Ya who ran away in tears, he stepped forward and reprimanded his brother Qingtao, scolding him for not being so rude and unseemly to a girl.

Qingtao listened to his reprimand, but excitedly stepped forward to hold Canghai's arms, and he roared at Canghai: "You once said that you treat me as the best brother, and said that I will give me whatever I want in the future, but what have you done over the years, the promises made by the two of us, you have forgotten, you have forgotten everything." Not only do you have the whole world now, but you even have to take away my most beloved woman!"

Canghai watched him pestering himself, broke free of him with both arms, and said ruthlessly: "As the emperor of the dark blue, how much hardship I have, you will never understand, yes, I have always regarded you as a brother, but it doesn't mean that I have to give up the pursuit of Xiaoya, besides, the person she really likes is me, and I hope that the queen of the dark blue will be her in the future." If she becomes a queen, she will be your mistress. I hope you remember that I am not only a good brother for you, but also have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, and I hope you can be polite. ”

"I'll kill you bastard, you're embarrassed to mention the righteousness of the monarch and the minister to me, when you rob my woman, mention the righteousness of the monarch and the minister to me, it's good brother, I hate you!" Qingtao's eyes were red, and he stepped forward and punched him when he lost his mind.

Canghai was punched, but he didn't want to have too many pointless disputes with him, anyway, it is a fait accompli that Xiaoya will become the queen in the future, and no one can easily deny the decision of the supreme decision-maker, the emperor.

Looking at the figure of the sea gradually moving away, Qingtao collapsed to the ground, crying loudly and begging with a heartbreak: "I beg you to give her back to me! For her, I can do nothing, I am willing to be a dog by your side, and I will always be loyal." No, she's mine, and none of you can take her away......"

Later, Qingtao also asked the girl who helped him ask Xiaoya to come out, why his cousin didn't like him, and the girl explained the reason to him: It turned out that during the time when Qingtao went on the expedition, Canghai sat in the capital to preside over government affairs, and his cousin went to him several times, but he didn't meet him, but he met the emperor. Once, Xiaoya and Emperor Canghai met unintentionally, he took her to play in the garden of the royal court, and also took her to the chamber where he handled government affairs, and even in order to facilitate her to enter and exit the royal court, he also gave her a portable waist card that could freely enter and exit the royal court, and the frequency of contact between the two was more, and even she would accompany him to deal with government affairs and meet courtiers, day by day, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up. Canghai felt that he couldn't do without Xiaoya, so he expressed his heart in advance and asked her if she was willing to be her queen, Xiaoya and him were already in the same mind, so she nodded and agreed on the spot. It's just that Canghai is too busy, and he doesn't have time to explain everything to Qingtao, let alone send someone to propose marriage. Therefore, Qingtao made those uncomfortable actions for his cousin without knowing it.

In the face of such a scene, Canghai's heart is not painful, on the one hand, there are brothers who are born and die with him, and on the other hand, there is a woman who loves him deeply and loves him deeply. However, he knows that Xiaoya is sincere to himself, maybe only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. If she really pushed Xiaoya to the cousin she didn't love, it might be painful for both of them. He thought to himself, after Xiaoya became the queen of Deep Blue, he would help Canghai find a good family!

However, it was Canghai's decision that planted a seed of hatred, and from that day on, Qingtao wiped away his tears and changed his temperament. On the one hand, it becomes very ruthless and very decisive towards anyone. On the other hand, he behaved unusually docile to Canghai, always respectful.

Although Canghai noticed that he was acting strangely, he couldn't find a trace of what he was wrong about, so he could only continue to choose to trust him. Out of apology to his brother, he also took more care of Qingtao and once promoted him. Later, Qingtao's official achieved the position of the first auxiliary minister, which can be described as a very human minister, under one person and above ten thousand. But he knew in his heart that no matter how big he was, all this was just a gift from Canghai to him, and the scenery was infinite on the surface, but Canghai could easily take away everything from him at any time. After thinking everything clearly, he always maintained a gentle and elegant attitude, endured his hatred, and gradually won unanimous praise from everyone. By chance, with the consent of Canghai, he cultivated his own escort army, and at its peak, the number of troops once reached 20,000. On the surface, these people are under the banner of allegiance to Canghai and Deep Blue, but in fact, they belong to Qingtao's own private army. After his layers of sifting, countless days and nights of polishing, he has achieved a sharp blade, ready to pierce the heart of the enemy.

At that time, Qingtao was so high-spirited, and Canghai was in poor condition because of the old diseases caused by the wind and frost and the excessive battles in the past. In a kingdom, where the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the courtiers will inevitably have the opportunity to replace the king and become the master of the empire.

And not long after Xiaoya escaped from the grove on that day, the royal court arranged for someone to come to the door to propose marriage, and the royal family's marriage was naturally very lively, and the whole country celebrated. On the day of the wedding in Canghai, he greeted his bride with the highest standard of etiquette, and in order to make the wedding beautiful and celebrate with the people, he even issued an order to amnesty the world and reduce taxes for the subjects of Deep Blue for half a year, and the whole country celebrated.

Watching the sea of marriage blowing, the whole country celebrates, the ministers at the wedding banquet are all smiling, at this moment only one person is in the mood of extreme loss, he is alone and drinking stuffy wine, from time to time to pick up the wine glass, to the people on the side of the said: "Come on, come on, accompany me to have a drink!" He didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of others looking at him, as if he was looking at a madman.

Halfway through the feast, the emperor and the bride stood opposite each other and put rings on her. After the ring was put on, it was replaced by Xiaoya in front of everyone, kneeling in front of Canghai, accepting the canonization of the emperor, and did not watch Canghai take the queen's phoenix crown from the tray held by his entourage Lian Yun, until he personally put the phoenix crown on his head, at that moment, she was moved and smiled, because she knew that she had become the king's woman, and she had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the harem of the entire Deep Blue Empire for the emperor.

Next, the emperor and the queen sat on the throne together, and the ministers at the banquet took turns to come forward to toast and bless, and everyone was very happy, because the dark blue harem was finally presided over. Qingtao was the sixth to go up to toast, and the first five people would say some blessings, such as "I wish the queen and her heirs to last, and I wish the queen and her eternal youth". Only Qingtao borrowed the strength of the wine, the wine was strong and intimidating, carrying a pot of wine and a wine glass, and his body shook and walked forward.

To be honest, seeing Qingtao's appearance of being drunk, Xiao Ya, who was sitting on the throne, sweated for him, for fear that he would do something rebellious.

I saw him stop when he walked seven or eight steps away from her, he raised his wine glass, poured a glass, and said: "Cousin, no, Queen Mother, I respect you for this cup, you want to be happy, it's your cousin who is incompetent and can't let you have everything!"

Xiaoya could only cope with drinking this cup, which was very embarrassing. And Canghai was displeased, because it was a big day, and he was not good at attacking.

Then, he took the flask and poured another glass, raised the glass, and shouted to the sea: "You...... It's really good, the emperor can be an example for the people of the world, not long after I went out to fight, my cousin became your woman, it's really a good means!" After some disparagement, he drank another glass.

After Canghai listened to his sour words, he wanted to order someone to take him out, so that he couldn't hear a few good words, and kept making noise. Fortunately, the queen understood the righteousness, pinched his arm, and signaled not to deal with him, so he put away his anger.

Immediately afterwards, he took the flask and poured another glass, raised the glass, circled around, and said, "Drink this cup together, hahaha!" His series of performances really stunned everyone, because the emperor didn't speak, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Canghai saw that he had stopped, and hurriedly greeted Lian Yun and said, "Lord Qingtao has drunk too much and is drunk during the banquet, come and take him down and send him back to the house to rest." ”

In this way, Qingtao was sent back to his house, and no one on the way noticed a few tears oozing from the corners of his eyes from time to time.

After Qingtao left, the wedding went on in an orderly manner, and everyone ended the happy day in a festive atmosphere.

After his trouble, the emperor also felt that he was not suitable to preside over the protection of the royal court, because the three of them were in the royal court and might meet from time to time. After the meeting, it is difficult to guarantee what Qingtao will do, because he decided to let Qingtao participate in the internal affairs of the empire, so that he can keep an eye on him all the time. Gradually, Qingtao's talent became more and more prominent, and the official became bigger and bigger, in just a few years, after continuous promotion, he finally achieved the position of the first auxiliary minister of the empire, and the day of the birth of the prince Yufeng is getting closer and closer, and the day when he seizes the throne of the emperor is getting closer and closer.

Although it was in a dream, he obviously felt that this dream had been going on for a long time, and he wanted to wake up from the dream, but he was afraid to wake up from the dream. In this dream, it was all his sad past, but he could see his longing cousin in the dream, he was not afraid of the eyes of the world at all, he only knew that the woman himself had loved, and loved deeply. Only the prince, who was guarding on the side, saw the thunder water flowing out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but step forward to wipe it.
