Chapter 22 The Queen's Design
Seeing that the hottest time of summer had arrived, the emperor took his favorite concubines and princesses to the suburban garden to escape the heat. Although the red fox is also a princess, it is just a name. So, I stayed.
The red fox who stayed in Beijing was sitting leisurely in the gazebo at the moment. Eating chilled melons and fruits, drinking chilled juices, and playing poker with Rabbits.
"Ah Tu, why haven't you seen Hei Yi recently, I still want to ask him if there is enough saltpeter in Avena. ”
With doubts on his face, Ah Tu touched a card, thought about it and said, "Count it up, the slave hasn't seen Heiyi for more than a month." ”
Red Fox did the math, but no, she hadn't received a letter from Arwen for more than a month. There was no reply to the letter sent in the past.
"Ah Si, go back and contact our shop in Da Zhou, and ask if something has happened to the Da Zhou royal family recently. ”
Sitting next to the red fox, Ah Si, who was embroidering a veil for the red fox, heard the red fox's command and nodded.
"The slave is going to get in touch. ”
Great Zhou State Military Camp
"Little sister, it's so hot, why are you here. ”
As soon as Situ Qing entered the barracks, he saw his second brother wearing a cotton vest, squinting in the sun, waiting at the door to greet his second brother.
Situ Qing handed the reins to the soldiers, and followed Situ Junwen into the camp tent. There were several basins of ice in the tent, and as soon as Situ Qing entered, he took the juice in the ice basin and drank several large sips.
Wiping her mouth casually, Situ Qing felt that she had eased up.
Situ Junwen saw a smile on Situ Qing's face, and asked curiously: "What is a good thing that is worth your trip at noon." ”
Situ Qing's eyes when she looked at Situ Junwen were full of invitation and pride.
"Second brother, you have to thank me this time. ”
Situ Junwen's eyebrows tweaked, "Oh?"
"Second brother, I begged the queen mother for a long time, and the queen mother relented and said that in a few days, at the queen mother's birthday banquet, if you haven't found a suitable one, the queen mother will agree to the marriage between you and Xing'er. ”
Situ Junwen's eyes flashed, "Really, how did you persuade me?"
Situ Qing raised her chin slightly and stared at Situ Junwen, "Since you had a fight with your mother last time, you stayed in the barracks and didn't go out." I don't know how famous Xing'er is now. The mask and ice cream she sold in Daisheng were in short supply in Daisheng. There are also paintings she paints, poems she makes. In short, she is now famous, and even the queen mother knows it. I took the opportunity to play the side drum again, and the queen mother agreed. ”
Situ Junwen's eyes darkened, with suspicion, "When the queen mother heard about these things, she didn't object to us?"
Situ Qing nodded her chin very surely, "Oh, second brother, the queen mother finally agreed, so don't think about it." ”
Although Situ Junwen had doubts in his heart, it was not too much to think about the conditions proposed by the queen mother. As long as he attends and meets, he can exchange for a happy life with the girl, and he will not lose.
In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the celebration of the whole country of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the birthday of **.
"I hope that in this group of girls, there can be something that our Wen'er and Yue'er like. The emperor muttered softly.
The emperor and queen, who were sitting in high positions, looked at the many girls below, all of them were as delicate as flowers. Whether it's beauty, talent, or temperament, these girls are good. The queen didn't believe it, and the two sons couldn't find one that suited their hearts today.
The queen winked, and a girl in a goose-yellow dress stood up. Holding a wine glass, he came to Situ Junwen's table.
The girl has a sweet smile on her face, a round little face, and there will be two small dimples when she laughs, which makes the girl more and more sweet.
"Yan'er heard her father say that the second prince is like a brother to the generals in the army, and he is a rare general. Yan'er has admired the second prince for a long time, and I don't know if I am lucky to be able to toast the second prince today. After the girl finished speaking, a pair of round apricot eyes looked at Situ Junwen.
Situ Junwen subconsciously looked at the queen, and saw that his mother was looking at him with a shallow smile, and the warning in her eyes was undisguised. Situ Junwen couldn't, so he had to take a drink. Then, other officials and girls came to toast Situ Junwen.
Situ Mingyue saw that Situ Junwen was slightly drunk, so she stopped a few glasses of wine for him, and called a little eunuch to take Situ Junwen out to sober up.
Although Situ Junwen walked a little floating, he was very clear. Looking at the little eunuch who was supporting him, Situ Junwen asked, "Where is the little group?"
The little eunuch lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Brother Tuanzi has a stomachache and has gone to the toilet." ”
Situ Junwen nodded, "Help King Ben to go back to the palace, you come back in a while and tell the eldest brother that this king has drunk a lot, so he will go." ”
"Yes. ”
Back in his palace, the little eunuch waited for Situ Junwen to lie down, put down the curtains, and lit incense before going out.
Situ Junwen, who wanted to lie on the bed to rest, felt that his body was becoming more and more uncomfortable, as if there was a fire running in his lower abdomen. He pulled back the curtain, got up and poured a cup of herbal tea. But somehow, the more Situ Junwen drank, the more he felt that his situation was wrong. The heat all over his body made Situ Junwen's mind more and more unconscious.
At this moment, Yan'er, who had just appeared at the banquet, entered the main hall. Her face was flushed, her eyes glistened with tears, and she bit her lower lip with her teeth. Seeing Situ Junwen lying on the ground with a flushed face and constant pain, Yan'er walked over slowly.
Looking at Situ Junwen's handsome face, Yan'er approached Situ Junwen's ear and whispered: "Second Highness, Yan'er has admired you for many years, and everything today is my willingness." Yan'er hopes that His Royal Highness will never fail me, don't let me down, don't let me down. After speaking, her small hand caressed the face of her boss Tu Junwen.
"As soon as today passed, the queen mother agreed to the second brother marrying Xing'er, and I was really happy for them. ”
Mingyue glanced at Situ Qing, who had been happy for Situ Junwen, and only felt that things might not be so simple. He understands his mother, who is a very reasonable person, very stubborn, and it is impossible to change his mind easily.
But why did the queen mother suddenly agree? The more Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that it was a trap.
The brother and sister were walking in the direction of Situ Junwen's palace when they saw that the area around the palace was very quiet. As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of a woman crying from the direction of the dormitory.
As soon as the brother and sister walked in, they saw the disheveled Situ Junwen and Li Yan'er kneeling on the ground. The traces on the two of them, and the smell of the temple, shocked the brother and sister in place.
The queen had a blue face and glared at the two people at the door.
"Yue'er, take my sister down. ”
Situ Mingyue glanced at it, there was no brilliance in his eyes, Situ Junwen, who seemed to have lost his soul, bowed, and hurriedly pulled Situ Qing, who was still stunned, to leave.
The brother and sister came to a nearby shady place, Situ Qing lowered his head, and big tears rolled down.
"Big brother, why did the queen mother do this, didn't she say that she agreed to the second brother and Xing'er being together. ”
Situ Mingyue patted his sister on the back, he didn't know how to explain all this to his sister.
