Volume II: Under the King's Land, Chapter 92: Transactions

"Your Majesty must be the master of the concubine, what do you see this crazy wolf bite your son's shoulder?"

Liu Kang glanced at the woman with great annoyance, but she couldn't remember her name Liu Kang, but his son could always recognize it, the boy had a thick silk gauze tied around his shoulders, and shrunk back into the woman's arms sickly, this damn woman, she wouldn't sleep alone on the first day of the new year, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the boy's scream startled him so much that he almost fell down on the low couch.

"Father, it's her!It's her!It's her who let the wolf bite me!" He looked at the girl hiding behind the man viciously, Ye Weiwei was also hard-tempered, Xie Zuo said that he would stand on her side: "You provoked us first, Mao Mao just gnawed you lightly, it was you who scared it!"

"Weiwei?" Liu Kang came back to his senses, looking at the slender and slender girl, the concubine pointed at Ye Weiwei and scolded: "You are so bold, you should talk to your brother like this, sure enough, wild seeds are wild seeds, there is no place for you to talk here." ”

"Shut up woman, are you scolding Gu?" Liu Kang made her shut up with an extremely cold look, and then he sat up straight: "Xie Zuo, bring her over and let Gu take a look." ”

"Go, talk to your father, don't make him angry. He gently pushed Ye Weiwei's back, she lowered her head and pulled the hem of her skirt and walked in front of Liu Kang, in order to see her father, she changed into the best palace skirt, which was embroidered with small purple flowers, but compared with everyone in this palace, she was like a hen who fell into the phoenix's nest, and she couldn't get on the stage.

The jade-like white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, Liu Kang stretched out his hand to caress her shoulder, his eyes were a little empty: "You...... You've grown so big, why haven't you come to see Gu all these years?"

Ye didn't speak slightly, a trace of blood oozed from his bitten lower lip, and it took a while for him to say, "You look exactly like your mother." ”

"Your Majesty!" The woman's scream interrupted the rare warmth in Liu Kang's heart, Liu Kang took a step, and a strong breath burst out from his body, shaking the woman back for a distance: "If you don't want to abolish Lonely, shut your mouth for Lonely!"

"Weiwei, did your wolf bite his shoulder?" he looked into the girl's eyes and said in a low voice.

"Yes, but he came firstβ€”"

"Liu Zhiwei, why were you bitten by her wolf for no reason, I remember that I gave her a little white wolf many years ago, so many years have passed, and I don't see anyone else in this palace who was bitten by her wolf, why is it you!" Without waiting for Ye Weiwei's answer, his voice fell in the ears of the so-called son, and the boy stood in front of his mother and pointed at Ye Weiwei: "It was she who let the wolf bite me, Erchen wanted to play with her, but who knew that she let the wolf bite me!"

"Is that so? My brother came to play with you, and you let the wolf bite him?"

"Liar, he wanted to take Mao Mao away, and he also said he was going to eat it. Tears gradually blurred her vision, and the boy took out the jade block on his waist and threw it towards Ye Weiwei: "Slut! Rotten goods! Obviously, you let the wolf bite me!"

When the heavy jade piece was about to hit her head, Xie Zuo immediately drew his sword to cut off the jade and stood in front of Ye Weiwei: "Your Majesty, the minister personally heard that His Royal Highness the prince is going to buy Weiwei's wolf, it's true!"

Seeing Xie Zuo speak for her, the boy rolled uncontrollably on the ground, punching and kicking the floor: "Liar, liar, you are all liars!"

The favorite concubine hugged her son with a pale face, but unexpectedly he was beaten backhanded, and the sideburns that had been coiled all morning were scattered and shawls, and the mother and son looked extremely embarrassed.

"Take this crazy boy and his mother and concubine down, how can there be a child like you?" He glanced at Liu Zhiwei with hatred, and the two strong eunuchs carried the two out of the emperor's bedroom, and the boy's cry became farther and farther away from them.

The dormitory was quiet for a while, Liu Kang sat back on the low couch tiredly, and said to Xie Zuo: "You see, this is my son, he is not like his brother, my son, how can I have a son like him? When I was as old as him...... Alas, not to mention it. ”

"Your Majesty is angry, it's just a child's nonsense, and it will be fine in a few days, there are no serious consequences, Your Majesty forget about it." He glanced at Liu Kang, Liu Kang remembered that his daughter was still standing here, he beckoned her to sit beside him, and greeted him cordially: "Weiwei, have you eaten breakfast, are you still hungry, do you want me to let the people bring you some food, what do you like to eat?"

Twisting slightly, she looked down at her embroidered shoes that showed the hem of her skirt, because she came in such a hurry, she didn't even take care of her hair, and a few strands of playful black hair curled up in her ears, she mustered up her courage, looked at the man in front of her who could almost be her grandfather and shouted Father, Liu Kang nodded again and again, and clenched her hand with surprise on his face.

"Your Majesty, I have already told Weiwei about that matter. Xie Zuo whispered in Liu Kang's ear, Liu Kang looked at the daughter in front of him and thought for a moment: "This matter, Gu will give you an explanation." ”

"What does the father mean?" raised his head slightly, and met Liu Kang's eyes, the deer-like eyes were slightly red, Liu Kang was shocked, and hurriedly comforted: "Father hasn't cared much about you all these years, it's my father who is wrong, and my father is damned." ”

Slightly watched him slap a few times on his face, not feeling warm, only funny, she has been looking at people's faces and doing things all her life, naturally she has no sense of this kind of pretending to play treasure, Xie Zuo patted Liu Kang on the shoulder and motioned for him to get down to business.

Liu Kang rubbed his flushed cheeks and asked softly, "What Xie Zuo told you this morning, how did you think about it?" My father specially helped you choose a good husband this time, young and promising, and he is also the most honorable third prince of Yinguo, His Royal Highness, you will not suffer if you become his princess. ”

He raised his neck stubbornly suddenly, and his tone was plain, but with a very stubborn attitude: "My daughter won't go!"

"Don't go, tell your father why you don't go, the princess above 10,000 people, not everyone has the opportunity to do it, you see how noble your two sisters are, aren't they also married to generals? At most, they are called Mrs., think about the future after you marry the third prince of Chu, Luan Yu Feng drives, the honor guard, the wind blows, and the rain gets rain. And the father can see it, this third prince of Chu is very likely to become the emperor of the next generation in the future, and then you will be the queen of the Yin Kingdom, this transaction will only make money and not lose money!" Liu Kang was not angry, and his eyebrows danced.

"Buying and selling, is my father going to sell me to the third prince of Chu?" she looked at Liu Kang deadly, her clenched little fists made bursts, and there was only empty fierceness in her eyes.

Liu Kang was stunned for a moment, his businessman's essence was suddenly exposed, and he didn't know how to continue for a while, Xie Zuo hurriedly went up to play a round: "Weiwei, what about your father and the emperor joking with you? What does he mean that you will be the queen in the future, whether it is for yourself or the benefit of the Bottle Kingdom, and we do not yet know the next military action of the Yin Kingdom, this kind of closure is bad for us, if you become the concubine of the third prince of Chu, at least we can avoid their head-on confrontation." If your father marries you to a child of a family or a minister, it will not only be of no benefit to us, but also to yourself, would you be willing to live in the same room as a wife and concubine? Only by marrying you to the third prince of Chu with the best prospects, will you have a chance to form checks and balances by his side, and you will be able to turn the tables! Moreover, you can obtain a lot of military intelligence for your country by his side, and we will marry you not abandon you, we need you!"

Xie Zuo is worthy of Xie Zuo, after some eloquent talking, the girl's slightly angry eyes gradually subsided, she nodded unconsciously, Liu Kang agreed with Xie Zuo's words on the one hand, and was a little unhappy on the other hand, he felt that Xie Zuo was more or less pointing at Sang and scolding Kui, but as long as his daughter agreed to come down, scold it, anyway, he is such a person.

"I understand what you mean, but my father has ignored me all these years, and suddenly said that he wanted his daughter to be a princess, and my daughter is not worried that this is a scam, because my father will not do anything that is not beneficial to my father, but I suddenly feel a little chilled, you only remember me when you want to use me, and the father's attitude towards his daughter has determined why the bottle country is now suppressed by the Yin country, and the hundreds of thousands of men under the father's throne have not been able to make the bottle country strong, but now it depends on me, the daughter of an abandoned son, hehe......" She laughed softly, and the laughter echoed in the huge dormitory, and Liu Kang looked at her in silence and turned his head away.

Which is more painful to be used by others with value or to be abandoned for nothing?

Xie Zuo sighed in a low voice, signaling her not to say any more, and the girl smiled knowingly: "A palace maid sister once told me that girls will only have candy to eat if they cry." You are the daughter of the Emperor of the Bottle, no matter how bad it is, it can be regarded as his species, but you don't make noise or trouble when you encounter something, you just blindly endure it, and you are responsible for everything by yourself, and you won't learn from those noble princesses who ran into their father's arms to be coquettish, he naturally doesn't care about you, of course I understand this truth, I also want to have a father like me, and I also want to be coquettish in my father's arms. ”

I asked her what I should do, she said you have to learn to compete for favor, learn to dress yourself, at least look like a princess, bathe and dress every day, don't always wear a skirt for five days, your father has more than 50 children, but there are few daughters, men generally like daughters more than sons, the reason why you are in such a situation now, most likely is that you will not please your father, men like girls is nothing more than those points, beautiful and generous, gentle and moving, your mother is a washerwoman This objective condition you can't change, so you can only start with yourself, the way of father and daughter companionship is a kind of knowledge, especially in this palace, it's better to be close than to be estranged, you are still so young, don't always embarrass yourself. ”

Ye paused slightly, and suddenly laughed: "It's just that I can't do these things, you told me to take a shower and dress up every day, but I don't even have a mirror in the house, I can only look at the reflection in the water tank and tidy it up occasionally, and this carrying water is also tiring, I took a bath and went to Kaiyun Courtyard to carry two or three buckets of water back and forth, and then I had to chop wood to boil water, and I was already very tired to take care of myself every day, how could I have time to do these things."

Liu Kang listened to every word she said very carefully, like a knife cutting his heart, and at this time he felt that he owed a daughter too much.

"I know what you're thinking, I'm the way I am, and I'm going to be like that. If I go to Yinguo in the future, the third prince of Chu will definitely not like me, and I will not try to like him, Brother Xie Zuo, you are right, instead of being a boudoir resentful woman, it is better to be a queen above ten thousand people, if the third prince of Chu bullies me in the future, it will be a big deal to kill him with a knife. After that, you're going to come and save your daughter, right?"

Liu Kang suddenly felt that he had never understood this daughter, and there were too many emotions flowing in her eyes at this time, grief, sadness, and indifference, he nodded and said, "Father will support you in all your actions, you just let it go." ”

"Father, I believe in you. She smiled softly, but that look contained a lot of distrust.

"After the New Year, my father will personally take you to Yinguo to ensure that nothing happens to you on the road, you can have fun in the palace these days, and do whatever you want...... I know that some people in this palace treat you badly, if anyone bullies you again these days, you will beat you to death, if your brother and brother come to bully you again, you will come and tell your father, and your father will help you teach them a lesson. Liu Kang rarely showed this side of spoiling.

Ye was slightly silent for a while: "Can I meet someone before leaving?"

"Who?"

"Rou Niang, the old maidservant who took care of me before, she was kicked out of the palace after she was blind. ”

"Of course you can, Xie Zuo, tell the two maids to go to Weiwei's courtyard, pack up her things and take them to Concubine Yun's bedroom, Lone still trusts her more, let her take good care of Weiwei these days. Liu Kang didn't know who Rou Niang was in her mouth, so he had to agree indiscriminately.

Ye Weiwei rarely refused, she turned around and left silently, did not salute Liu Kang to leave, Xie Zuo stretched out his hand, and wanted to say something, Liu Kang glanced at him, and the two of them suddenly fell silent.

"I don't owe you anything...... she dropped the thoughtless words.

"Your Majesty, can you be satisfied with Weiwei's performance? After coming over for a long time, Xie Zuo spoke.

"Xie Zuo, if something happens to you after going to Yinguo this time, or if you die in Yinguo, I will definitely kill you with a sword. Liu Kang's voice was as fierce as chewing steel.

"Your Majesty is only showing concern for Weiwei now, it's too late, she will take care of herself, whether Your Majesty believes me or not. He watched the girl's slender figure disappear from view, and looked at Liu Kang with confidence.

"I don't know what Your Majesty is worried about now, Weiwei has now agreed to our conditions, and now we are waiting for Emperor Yin's reply, although it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Your Majesty should not be idle all the time, take some time to help Weiwei think of two good-sounding princess names, and at the same time include her name in the royal family temple book, as well as the confession letter, which is the basis for determining whether Chu Xiaohua is willing to accept our conditions, I hope Your Majesty will consider the time. ”

"Xie Zuo, you little bastard, my last daughter was also sent to Yinguo as a hostage by you, when do you plan to send Lone over as well?"

"There is no such thing as a daughter that can be regenerated, but the opportunity to rejuvenate the country is not always available. I hope that Your Majesty can pay attention to your body, and do less things for men and women, this hidden war will last for many years, if you return to the west in a few years, who will give support to the micro in the country of Yin, if you really cherish your daughter, please do your best to live for her. ”

"Damn Xie Zuo, you are so bold, dare to curse Lao Tzu to death, don't you?" Liu Kang suddenly became angry, picked up the copper sandalwood kettle on the side and threw it towards Xie Zuo, but he turned around lightly and dodged it.

"The minister still has something to deal with, so he retired first. He bowed slightly and turned away.

Liu Kang looked at the dormitory that suddenly quieted down, speechless.
