When he returned to King Xuan's mansion, the sun was already in the west, and Wu Yu did not return to the mansion, presumably still in the palace.

Neither the wind nor the moon were in the room, and she walked towards the backyard.

Walk through the flower path, walk out of the moon gate, turn around the peach forest, and see the wind and moonlight playing chess in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake from a distance.

The lake is turquoise, and the green willows around the lake are piled up like clouds.

The breeze blew, the clothes and hair of the two were fluttering, and they were transcendent and handsome, and she couldn't help but be a little fascinated by it.

It's a beautiful painting, and I sighed in my heart. Then he stepped onto the pontoon bridge and walked towards the kiosk.

Fengzhao and Yueming looked up at Yaoling who came in the distance at the same time, and saw that she was wearing a pink and purple dress, with bright eyes and bright teeth, her eyebrows slightly together, and a faint sadness on her face, which added another kind of beauty to her lively and happy in the past.

came to the chair between the two and sat down, looked at the chessboard, and found that Yueming was already at a disadvantage.

This aroused her curiosity, Yueming's chess skills were exquisite, and the wind was slightly inferior. Today, I saw that the moon on the chessboard had brought signs of defeat.

After a while, the two put down their sons, and Yueming sighed lightly: "This is already the best destination in the country of thistle." ”

It was as if a small hammer gently hit Yaoling's head, and she was stunned for a moment.

"This is already the biggest concession to him. ”

Feng Zhao glanced at the chessboard, and his tone was cold and domineering.

Yaoling's heart trembled slightly.

It turned out that Yueming was playing chess with the country of thistle in the wind.

"If Ji Rujin can go like you and give full play to the strength of Ji Country to the fullest, then there is a fight, but it's a pity that he is not you. ”

The wind looked at the moonlight, and there was some deep meaning in his eyes.

Yueming's eyes glanced at Yaoling as if inadvertently, "War is inevitable, you have to be prepared." ”

A pain spread from the bottom of Yaoling's heart to her whole body for no reason, and she hurriedly turned her head and pretended to look at the lake.

A pair of seductive man's eyes suddenly appeared in the lake, melancholy and affectionate.

With a duck call, two gray mallards flew down to the surface of the lake, sorted their feathers, and rippled in circles.

Feng Zhao turned his head to look at Yaoling, his eyes were gentle and complicated.

To start a war against the country of thistle, he couldn't be sure what kind of move Yaoling would make at the most critical time, she knew that Yaoling cared about thistle Rujin.

"My sister is back. Yaoling's eyes turned back to look at the pontoon bridge with eyes that avoided the wind, and Wu Ling, who was dressed in green, came slowly.

Wu Yu, who went to the small pavilion, reached out and took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Fengzhao after saluting Fengzhao and Yueming.

"This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring to the county king. ”

Feng Zhao took it, glanced at Wu Yu and then gently opened the lid of the box, a delicately and gorgeously twisted silk phoenix hairpin was shining, the wings of the phoenix tail were decorated with gem crystals, and the phoenix mouth contained a pearl the size of a finger's belly.

Yaoling looked at the phoenix hairpin in amazement, and didn't understand why Feng Ze gave Feng Zhao this.

The wind took care of the golden hairpin silently, and the moonlight on the side was still as pale as water, but his expression was colder than before.

"How could this prince give a phoenix hairpin, that's..."

"Bell"

A faint light of the wind interrupted Yaoling's words.

Yaoling hurriedly stopped the latter words and stopped asking.

Feng put the phoenix hairpin back into the box as it was, and said indifferently: "This phoenix hairpin is a royal thing, and it is useless to shine, so you should return it to His Royal Highness." ”

"His Royal Highness said that this phoenix hairpin was given to the princess of the county for the wedding, although it is a royal thing, His Royal Highness does not care, and others can do nothing. ”

The cold eyes are like two deep pools of eyes, and there is no bottomless depth. Feng Zhao frowned and thought for a breath, and put the brocade box into his sleeve, "I will go and talk to Your Highness." ”

"Sister, the phoenix hairpin is something brought by the queen, how can Your Highness give it away at will?"

In the bamboo forest, Yaoling and Wu Yu talked while walking to the front yard.

Wu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out to pluck a mahogany carved plum blossom and pearl hairpin from his bun.

"I met His Royal Highness when I came out of the emperor, he gave me this hairpin, and took the phoenix hairpin and said to me that although I can't be his queen, I can be his wife, as for the phoenix hairpin, he thinks his sister is the most beautiful, so he asked me to bring it back as a gift for your wedding with the king of the county. ”

Yaoling was a little dumbfounded, the phoenix hairpin was the queen's match, that is, Fengzhao's mother was so favored by Fengqing, but he didn't see a phoenix hairpin on the bun, he actually gave it to himself.

Thinking about it, Feng Ze seems to have a gentle and supple temperament, but he is actually a person with great ideas, he loves Wu Yu with all his heart but has to marry another woman to be the queen, he must not like it in his heart, and he can't change it, so he has to express his love for Wu Yu in this way.

Because she is not a person who abides by the law of religion, she admires Feng Ze's practice very much, what kind of phoenix hairpin and dragon hairpin, since she gave it to her, what does it matter if she brings it, so I don't care about it.

"Feng Ze is going to give up the country. ”

In the pavilion in the center of the lake, Yueming looked at a pool of clear water, and said lightly.

The wind was silent, and his complexion was more condensed and deep than usual.

Feng Ze sent Wu Yu to send this phoenix hairpin, which had a profound meaning, and he had to guard against it.

In Jicheng, Ji Rujin, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was inspecting the royal guards on horseback, surrounded by the civil and military generals of Jiguo, and Jiang Xuerong, who was dressed in fiery red.

"I heard that the Great Dragon Emperor has been languishing since the death of his favorite concubine, the people of the Great Dragon Dynasty are unstable, and the new crown prince Feng Ze heard that he is indifferent, I want to try whether this new prince is as rumored, what do you think of Aiqing?"

The face of a woman as soft as usual was as cynical as ever, and the tone of understatement seemed to be saying something indecent.

"Your Majesty is wise, today's Ji soldiers are strong and strong, and there is General Liu Yi in the army, and the Dalong is just around the corner. ”

An old minister with a three-lock beard had a flattering face.

He didn't see the disgust in the slender phoenix eyes of Ji Rujin in front of him as he spoke.

"The Prime Minister is always very flattering to me. There was disdain in his slightly mocking tone.

"The minister thinks that today's Ji country has just recovered from the drought of last year, and if there is a war, it will definitely cause opposition from the people, so it is not conducive to the gathering of people's hearts, it is better to take advantage of the internal troubles of the dragon to govern our country's agriculture with heart. ”

After the prime minister, a young civil official whispered.

Ji Rujin's eyes showed some approval.

At this time, a palace man hurriedly beat the horse from a distance, and saw Ji Rujin turn over and dismount, and stand under Ji Rujin's horse with both hands clenched into fists.

Thistle Rujin looked at the man condescendingly.

"Say," he said, with a slightly cold tone and no expression.

The palace man bowed his head and began to report: "The guards sent to Yanlong have sent news that the identity of King Zhengzhen of Ningjun, who is now rumored to be in Yanlong's palace, is the prince of the Great Dragon Palace. ”

In a word, not only Ji Rujin, but even the officials behind Ji Rujin were shocked there, and for a while, the air was filled with thick depression and silence.

Ji Rujin felt that his breath was held in his chest and wanted to find a breakthrough, and suddenly he laughed, laughing out loud, so out of breath that tears flowed out.

"It's the funniest thing I've ever heard. ”

The courtiers behind him looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

"Returning to the Palace"

With a cold cheer, Ji Rujin, who was still smiling, was already gloomy, the horsewhip was raised, the horse's hooves were scattered, and the people had already rushed out a few feet away.

When he returned to the palace, he went straight to the Jinyao Palace.

Seeing that he was angry, the palace people in the palace all retreated with bated breath, not daring to disturb him.

"You already knew who he was, did you?" he asked in a low voice as he reached out for a golden bell.

"You must know who he is. ”

He held the bell in both hands and buried his face in his hands, his heart was full of pain.

"You didn't hesitate to go to the soup for him, but you know that I gave up the last chance of the Ji Kingdom for you. ”

Only his voice was lonely and low in the empty hall.

Sunlight shines through the panes and drops down pillars of light, and the dust in the pillars of light flutters up and down.

Under the eaves of the porch outside the door, Jiang Xuerong, dressed in red, was already in tears.

A palace man came in a hurry, and after seeing the chief steward on the steps, he said something in his ear, and the chief steward raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xuerong, who was crying on the side of the pillar, lowered his head, pushed the door and walked in.

took a step, cautiously walked to the front of thistle Rujin and stood.

"Say"

Thistle Rujin did not look up.

The "Eagle Book from the Great Dragon" The chief manager held the note in his hand with both hands.

"Reading"

"Yes"

The chief manager opened the book and believed: "The Great Dragon Emperor Feng Qing was assassinated by the queen, the injury is unknown, the crown prince Feng Ze has been passed on, the real identity of the king of Yanlongning County is the prince of the Great Dragon Xuan Palace, Feng Zhao, who has been ordered by Feng Qing to take over the position of the general in charge of military affairs, and Feng Xuan, the owner of the Great Dragon Xuan Palace, who has disappeared for many years, suddenly appeared to assist the new emperor to ascend the throne to deal with court affairs. ”

Without any movement, Ji Rujin still leaned her head on her raised hands, as if she hadn't heard what the manager was reading.

The steward carefully placed the letter on the wide desk and quietly withdrew again.

In the wide room, only Ji Rujin was left.

The curtain was lifted by the wind, the hourglass rustled, and the house was extremely quiet.

Jiang Xuerong, who was outside the door, wanted to push the door in several times, but finally held back.

A pair of thin eyebrows obliquely raise sideburns, slightly closed eyes slightly shake the slender eyelashes, a straight nose, and slightly thin red lips make the beauty of thistle more charming and lonely.

Slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to look at the bell, and suddenly he smiled, laughing sadly, sadly, laughing.

"Well, as long as you want, I'll give you the thistle country, as long as you can accept it with peace of mind. (To be continued.) )
