When night falls, the Flying Immortal Palace is illuminated by colorful lights, and the streamer is dotted, as bright as glass.

The king of Zhongzhou stood outside the hall, looking at the river flowing under his feet.

In the hall, there was a conversation between his wife and children.

"This is so difficult!" the young man's tone seemed to be coquettish.

"Learn slowly, and it won't be difficult if you understand. The woman's voice was gentle and patient, not at all as tough as it had been rumored.

"Mother, don't these big brothers understand?

The woman was silent for a moment and replied, "Yu'er, don't you remember what the mother concubine said to you? ”

"Aren't they all the sons of the concubine?"

"But," said the woman softly, "the eldest brother is not the son of your father. ”

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

"Okay, after the homework is done, I will rest early today, and I will have business tomorrow. ”

"Got it, Mother ......"

After a while, someone approached, a cloak was draped over his shoulders, and the woman said softly: "The night breeze is cold, why don't you wear more?"

Zhongzhou Wang smiled and looked at his wife: "Am I still afraid of the wind?"

The warriors of the realm of incarnation, who are not limited to everything in the world, how can they be afraid of the wind?

The princess was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I forgot for a while, I thought you were Yu'er." ”

Wang Zhongzhou smiled back and took her hand.

The husband and wife looked side by side at the mountains and rivers at their feet.

After a long time, the voice of the king of Zhongzhou came: "Qing'e, you have worked hard all these years." I live in the palace all the year round, and you have to take care of all government affairs and family affairs, even Yu'er, I want you to teach you personally. ”

The princess smiled: "Isn't this exactly what I asked for?

The king of Zhongzhou smiled and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder.

After a moment of warmth, he asked, "Are you sure about the barbarians?"

Speaking of this topic, the princess's tone became solemn: "You also know that our contact with the barbarians is not a matter of one or two days. This time, they are willing to send people to Zhongzhou, which can basically be used as a signal. I think that as long as nothing goes wrong, there should be a seventy or eighty percent chance. ”

The king of Zhongzhou nodded, and said again: "This matter is very dangerous, the slightest difference is an abyss, if you can't catch it, you have to tell me in time." ”

"Hmm. The princess replied softly.

King Zhongzhou sighed: "Actually, I want to stop you more, but I know that you have been planning for more than twenty years, and you will definitely not give up." ”

The princess was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

The night deepened, and the Flying Immortal Palace gradually quieted down, standing on the edge of the cliff, the wind whistling in my ears.

"Xing'er, what are you going to do?"

The princess looked up at her husband's face.

King Zhongzhou's expression was as usual: "His illness is serious again, right?"

The princess sat down on the railing in amazement: "You can see it." ”

"So, you're in a hurry to marry him?" King Zhongzhou shook his head, "Qing'e, he has always been thoughtful and extremely wary of outsiders, and it is not a good thing for him to suddenly stuff someone around him." ”

"But if he continues like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will collapse. The princess was sad, "After becoming a family and giving birth to a child, he has a concern in his heart, maybe it won't be like this......"

"That's not bad to think about. King Zhongzhou said slowly, "What did he say himself?"

"What else can I say?" the princess smiled bitterly, "naturally she doesn't want to." ”

"Then you ......"

"I don't want to force him. "But his current situation is really bad, and in a year, at least half of the year he has locked himself up." This time, I was worried that he would not come out. ”

The king of Zhongzhou was silent.

"It's my fault that I wasn't by his side since I was a child, and he was ridiculed. Master passed away because of him, and he has been carrying heavy shackles in his heart. Knowing this, I shouldn't have forced him to succeed him as Lian Zhen Xingjun in the first place. ”

"You ......," King Zhongzhou said slowly, "I also have a grudge against me in my heart, right? ”

The princess was silent at first, and then shook her head: "I can't blame others, it's in my heart that he is not important enough." ”

I made a lot of mistakes, I only blame myself for making this choice in the first place, and there is no room for regret.

"What about that girl?" After being silent for a while, probably because the atmosphere was too heavy, King Zhongzhou took up another topic and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say that Ling Wufang had to be?

The princess also laughed: "Originally, I just regarded her as an alternative, but I didn't think I heard about something two days ago." ”

"Oh?"

"Jiayan's child, listening to the wind is rain, ran to embarrass her. Xing'er just left me and went over in person. ”

"And then?"

The smile on the princess's face softened: "He personally told the girl that this is not a good choice." She looked at her husband, "You know, Xing'er is not a willing person. This shows that, in his heart, this is an object that he can accept. ”

King Zhongzhou nodded: "This is more important than any conditions." ”

"Yes!" the princess smiled, "Now, even if Ling Wufang comes, it is not the best choice. ”

"But," King Zhongzhou frowned slightly, "That little girl doesn't seem to be willing herself, right?" I heard that Jiayan went to make a bet with her again, so she directly agreed. ”

Speaking of this, the princess was sad again: "Isn't it? marriage is not revenge, especially Xing'er's situation, she can't be forced to do so." ”

King Zhongzhou held her hand: "Don't worry, there is still time." ”

……

In another part of the palace, the dim candlelight reflected Xie Lianzhen's clear face.

His expression at the moment was very different from that in front of him, his eyes were gloomy and his face was expressionless. Holding a jade pendant in his hand, he rubbed it slowly.

The door was pushed open, and a young man of his age walked in: "Childe." ”

The young man stopped in front of him, clasped his fists and said, "The princess sent someone to the barbarian side, look at the back, it should be Ding Ling's envoy." ”

Xie Lianzhen's movements stopped, and after a while, she said slowly: "Ding Qingqing personally went out on the horse, she really attaches importance to it!"

His tone was soft and slow, with a chill to the bone.

"Childe ......"

Xie Lianzhen raised her hand: "Okay, don't stare anymore, this matter ends here." ”

"Yes. ”

After a pause, he asked again, "What about the princess?"

The young man said: "The princess has never been out of the palace, except for Ding Lingzhi and Xiahou Ling, she has not seen anyone else. ”

"She didn't send someone to Jiuyao Palace?"

"Nope. ”

Xie Lianzhen stopped talking again, and the candle flame shone on his face, casting a layer of haze.

The young man glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "Childe, the county lord, are you really missing?"

"Nope. "Crisp and clean.

"But the county lord refused to leave......"

Xie Lianzhen sneered: "They all say that I am sick, I see that she is sicker than me! No outsiders are allowed to approach me, and I am not allowed to say a word to others, do I regard me as her personal property? If I continue to tolerate it, I am afraid that King Yijun will be the first to settle accounts with me!"

The young man did not dare to say any more.

Xie Lianzhen looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, and her tone revealed deep boredom: "The entanglement in this world is really boring. (To be continued.) )
