8. Northern Qi Dynasty |
"Don't say that, Your Majesty." The little guy persuaded with a bitter face, "Who in the world doesn't know that you are a famous general, and your merits are incomparable. Those people...... The messengers in the palace have gone, those Xiaoxiao, you, you must not go to your heart. ”
King Lanling sneered lightly, got up from the couch, and said casually: "I married the Zheng family in Xingyang, those people are probably very happy, right?" Even his uncle made Zheng Zhaoyi as a show of favor. I heard that the prince's cousin also used two more glasses of wine. ”
The little servant took the civilian clothes and changed them into King Lanling, and his face became even more depressed.
King Lanling glanced at him and said lightly: "You must not make such an expression again, so that outsiders will see it, and you will have to find a housekeeper to send you down." The second lady of the Zheng family was born stupid, but I heard that she is usually quiet, so you can watch her more for me. ”
The little guy was taken aback: "Then, what about you, the king?" ”
King Lanling took the bronze mask on the case and said casually: "Me? Naturally, I wanted to go back to the state and stay in office. As for the princess, you should send her back to Lanling County, and there is no need to go with me to merge the state. A few of you are following me as a child, and you know what I mean. He put the mask over his face, grabbed a seal on the desk, and walked away.
The little girl's bitter gourd face became even more bitter: "But, but the princess is a fool......"
Yun Yao floated up to the little guy and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of his eyes. The little maid still stared blankly at the door, muttering, "The princess is a fool", ...... "How can this be good", ...... "Is it too late to redeem herself from the palace"......
Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the last sentence.
It turned out that not only the maids in the Zheng Mansion were afraid, but even the little maids in the Lanling Mansion were also afraid.
The shadow floated quietly for a while, then ignored the little guy, and followed the direction that King Lanling had left, chasing all the way. There was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and occasionally beans fell, and after a while, the placket of King Lanling's clothes was wet. King Lanling didn't care at all, pushed away the umbrella handed over by the little servant, and strode towards the front hall. The envoys in the palace had already left, the guests had also left about the same, and there were no one left in the front hall, and occasionally two nobles in royal robes were already drunk and unconscious.
"Your Majesty......" A man in a scarlet official uniform stood up and staggered towards King Lanling, "I heard that the princess is beautiful...... Well, the flower and the moon are three points more beautiful than the beautiful Zhaoyi in the palace, but is it true? There were three points of banter, three points of teasing, three points of sarcasm, and finally one point of schadenfreude.
King Lanling pushed his shoulders away and said lightly, "You have overstepped." ”
He didn't use much force, only slightly blocking the man. The man staggered, his eyes widened and drunk, and he only saw a bronze ghost face in the candlelight, which looked more and more hideous and terrifying, and he was instantly frightened to wake up.
"Uh...... Uh...... "The man took the gold bottle and staggered away, not knowing whether he was pretending to be drunk or really drunk.
King Lanling stood in the middle of the hall, his gaze slowly sweeping over the people in the room. Most of the hosts and guests were already drunk, and the little guys were busy serving, feeding the sobering soup, and preparing the carriage and horses to send people home. Occasionally, one or two pretended to be drunk, and raised their eyelids to look at him secretly, their eyes full of schadenfreude and mockery, as if to say: A princess who was born stupid, sneering.
Outside, thunder roared, and bean-sized raindrops crackled and splashed on the eaves. The little guy held an umbrella, trembled and came to King Lanling's side, and whispered a few words. King Lanling pinched the fish talisman in his hand and said in a calm voice: "I know, you just do it." Today's wedding ceremony is all simple, let them send the princess back to the house. ”
The little guy trembled and asked two more questions.
King Lanling was silent for a moment before replying, "I will pass the night." ”
The little guy walked away with an oil-paper umbrella. He had to rush back to tell his sisters that it was raining heavily, and that he had to send the princess back to the house first, so that the princess would not get drenched. As for the rituals that spread the tent later, they are all simple. The king has just said that he will go back to the house at night.
Yun Yao listened to the general situation next to him and knew that she couldn't stay any longer, so she followed behind the little guy and floated back into her body.
She opened her eyes.
The two maids held an oil-paper umbrella, helped the new princess to the new house, and hurriedly retired. As for the ritual of spreading the tent, since even the king of Lanling didn't care much, they naturally wouldn't talk much. Yun Yao looked at the new house for a while, and suddenly felt a little sticky, so she sat in front of the dressing mirror, slowly washing off her makeup, while waiting for the arrival of King Lanling.
She did want to tell him some truths, but she couldn't tell him all of them.
Such as her true origins, such as her means, such as what she can bring him......
A figure appeared in the bronze mirror, vaguely wearing a ghostly bronze mask.
The maids in the house had already retreated, and only two thick ones. The big red candle is burning. Yun Yao turned to look at the bronze mask, ready to speak frankly to him, but as soon as the words came out, he was stunned.
King Lanling held the lintel with his hand, his body was a little unstable, and his eyes were a little blurred.
Yun Yao stepped forward and saluted, "King Wan'an." ”
This general title of the king of the mountain is the way the Southern and Northern Dynasties called the king of Lanling. Although Yun Yao felt awkward, she became accustomed to following the local customs and screaming. King Lanling glanced at him faintly, and his gaze became a little sharp.
He went into the house, poured two bottles of wine, and drank another to himself, but he choked and coughed twice.
Yun Yao guessed that around the time when she was away just now, something unpleasant happened in the front hall. She knew that it was a combination of wine, so she walked to the case of King Lanling, took another bottle of wine, and drank it shallowly.
King Lanling asked in a deep voice, "Are you a stand-in, or a lady who is married on your behalf?" ”
Yun Yao was stunned and said in surprise: "...... What the? ”
"It is rumored that the second lady of the Zheng family was born stupid and does not understand etiquette." King Lanling got up and walked to another desk and slowly began to study the ink. His hands were slender and powerful, with well-defined bones, and thin calluses on his fingertips, apparently from years of practicing knives and guns.
Yun Yao walked up to him and asked with some surprise, "So the king guessed that I was ......"
King Lanling put pen to paper and said, "But you are a normal girl. ”
- I see.
Yun Yao stabilized her mind and said the words she had thought about before: "Don't dare to hide from King Lanling, I was pretending to be crazy and stupid." Now that he is married to the king, there is naturally no need to pretend anymore. The king is broad-minded, so he shouldn't bother with me, a little woman? ”
King Lanling froze for a moment, and pinched the pen in his hand slightly: "Pretending to be crazy and stupid? ”
His voice softened slightly, and he was no longer as angry as before.
Yun Yao calmed down and continued: "I had a high fever when I was young, and since then I have been ignorant and ignorant of the world. It wasn't until a coincidence that I reopened my mind. But something happened in the clan at that time, and I had to keep pretending like this. She paused for a moment, then deliberately changed the conversation and said, "This matter is a long story, if the king wants to hear it, I will talk to the king in detail in a few days." ”
She believed that King Lanling would not have the patience to listen. The filth in these big families should be the most disgusting thing for King Lanling.
Sure enough, King Lanling shook his head and said, "No need. "The filth in the family is often no less than that of the heavenly family. He has been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child, so he can naturally guess the voice of Yun Yao's words. When he said this, he paused slowly, and said: "Since you are no different from ordinary people, I might as well speak directly with you: I have also heard a little about those rumors in Yecheng." The women in the city avoid me like a snake and scorpion, but you are married here, and it is helpless to think about it. I know that my fate is different, and I don't dare to delay the first life of the lady, so I will write a letter to release my wife tonight, and stamp the big seal of the county king, no matter when the lady wants to leave, I will definitely not stop it. When King Lanling said that, he had unconsciously squeezed the pen, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
Yun Yao was stunned and said, "Actually...... That one...... I'm not ......"
King Lanling shook his head slowly, signaling that she didn't have to say much, and wrote down the letter of releasing his wife like a cloud, and stamped a large seal, folded it neatly, put it in Yun Yao's hand, and continued: "From now on, it is up to Qing to stay." I have a bad life in my life, and I don't dare to delay the girl. I'm going back to Merge in three days, and if the girl doesn't want to stay in Yecheng, she might as well go to my fiefdom Lanling County and spend her life in peace. I can send someone to escort the girl. ”
Yun Yao was stunned and said, "That's actually ...... I'm not ......" As soon as she spoke, she suddenly turned a corner again, "What if I'm not a normal person, but a fool?" Do you want to write a letter about releasing your wife? Leave me to fend for myself? ”
King Lanling shook his head and said in a low voice, "Then it's different. If she was still the original idiot, he would send her back to Lanling County with the letter of release of his wife, and then send a few personal servants to follow, and send her to a village safely and contentiously to spend the rest of her life.
Yun Yao said dumbfoundedly, "Oh." "She felt like she was going to be stupid.
The bronze mask in front of him overlapped with the man of that day, vaguely as if he had returned to Jinyang City, and the young man turned his head sideways and asked the lieutenant general a few words in a low voice, vaguely "How can you let a woman go out of the city alone, the world is chaotic outside"......
King Lanling: Probably, probably, a person with a good nature.
But how could such a good-natured man be the general who fought bravely and skillfully and terrified the enemy?
For a while, all kinds of thoughts came to Yun Yao's mind, and there was nothing left in a trance. The bronze mask glowed slightly in the candlelight, as if it separated him from others from the distance, separated into two worlds.
