Chapter 63: King Duan
When she came, she was still thinking about it, expecting Ai Ai; really waited for her, but he couldn't help but be petty, broke free of her embrace, took a few steps forward by himself, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't go back...... I want to listen to the book, for free. ”
"Your Highness, Jukun Tower is still half an hour away from closing." She followed me a few steps forward, her voice inaudible to be angry, but her arm kept her arms around my waist to prevent me from falling—this little gesture taught me to soften my heart for a moment—but the meaning of her words blocked my excuses, and prevented me from getting off the stage, and even forced myself to suppress the slightest soft-heartedness.
"Then stay for another quarter of an hour." Turning his head in disgust, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at her look—his lips pursed, but there was no anger in his eyes.
I was relieved, and moved a few steps to the side with even more intensity, sat down against the kissing beast on the roof, picked up the flask that had been sitting for a long time, and took a shallow sip.
"Your Highness......" She frowned at me, as if to persuade me, but she was worried that I was deliberately working against her, so she sighed again and again, and simply said no more, just sat beside me in silence.
Although I wanted to talk to her in my heart, reason controlled me to resist the urge and ignore her; I like her to the point that I can't extricate myself from the love xù mixed with the bitterness and complaining that I can't ask for, and it is inextricably entangled into a mess, teaching me not to know how to face her, let alone how to speak...... Irritable, he took a big sip of wine.
The wine was in my throat, like a fire, and it burned into my stomach with a high song, and I gasped and hissed and stuck out my tongue.
She opened her mouth and didn't speak.
I knew that I must be very wolf in her eyes, so I also gave up my self-deception disguise, lazily leaned on the statue of the kissing beast, supported my head in one hand, carried a wine jug in the other, and raised my glass to the starry sky: "How can I solve my worries?" Only Du Kang! ”
"Your Highness, you're drunk." She looked at me and said calmly, but her white fists revealed a hint of uneasiness.
"I'm not drunk, I'm more sober than ever. The stars are so beautiful tonight...... You say, don't you? With a toothy grin at her, I shook my head - obviously, she didn't think so.
I snickered and pretended to take a big sip of wine on my neck—in fact, the wine in the pot had already been sprinkled on the road when it was bumpy, and the degree was not high, and even if I had drunk it all, my face would only be slightly red, and I would never have gotten dizzy and drunk and talk nonsense.
But since she thinks I'm drunk, then I'm drunk.
What's so bad about getting drunk? Cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, want to hold her in your arms, hold her in your arms, and even want to kiss her...... She didn't push me away either.
At this time, only I knew that I was sober, and I was taking advantage of her in the name of drunkenness, and this despicable behavior that would have taught me contempt in the past did it without any psychological baggage.
She sat obediently in the same place, not dodging and letting me hold her lips and pull gently, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and her eyelashes hung softly, which was a unique well-behaved appearance, teaching people to feel like they were brushed by the eyelashes like those two small brushes, and they were □□ and itchy, ironing, and then reluctant to bite off, but gently holding it.
Tentatively sticking to it for a while, seeing that she did not refuse, the little devil in her heart popped up, and couldn't help but poke out the tip of her tongue inch by inch, licked her lips, and then opened her teeth in a puff and drove straight in.
Just as I was immersed in it, I was unexpectedly grabbed by her on the back of the head, the scene reversed, and the initiative was fully delivered, and it turned into me being held in her arms and kissed wantonly...... In a daze, I didn't know how I lost my armor under her attack and collapsed; was fascinated by her kiss, dizzy, and when the wine came up, he finally fell asleep.
The next day, I was woken up by the noisy noise.
His throat was dry and hoarse, and there was a clicking sound when his neck turned, and the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.
I closed my eyes hard, dodging the dazzling sunlight, I felt like I was being held in my arms, and I opened my eyes suddenly, facing Jiang Zhuo's eyes; She looked haggard, her eyes bloodshot, her lips pale and chapped, but those eyes were as deep and beautiful as ever.
"You...... Ahem...... "I opened my mouth and found that my throat hurt so much that I couldn't speak, and I coughed violently as soon as I spoke.
She smoothed my back, already knowing my thoughts, cleared her throat, and whispered, "Just after the hour, His Highness spent the night here. ”
――What? One night?
I didn't know why, but my voice was grinding badly, so I had to ask her with my eyes.
She seemed to sigh, looked away helplessly, and replied softly, "Doesn't Your Highness want to look at the stars?" ”
That is, for a lame reason, this fool just held me on the roof and blew the cold wind all night?
It's hard for her to hold on until now.
I was angry and funny, but in the end I turned into a full of distress, reached out and touched her cheek, stared at her fixedly, endured the pain in my throat, and hissed, "You kept me all night last night?" Why didn't you wake me up? ”
She said calmly: "I don't dare to shirk the affairs of my subordinates." ”
"What's in it? Well, let me ask you, where did you go some time ago yesterday? Seeing that she deliberately dissociated herself from the relationship and attributed everything between us to identity and responsibility, I felt sour in my heart and asked unconsciously.
"Last night, my subordinates took turns off, and it happened that the gold sore medicine ran out, so I went to the pharmacy in the north of the city to prepare some." She paused, and said to me with her same expression.
"So, where did you go the night before? Is it also a rotational break? I resisted the excitement in my heart and pressed in.
She looked up at me, and the look in her eyes was shocked, but she was dumbfounded.
-- Since it's not a rotational holiday, it's in the house.
I can finally be sure that that night was not a dream.
But why didn't she admit it?
When I was sober, she was so alienated from me that only when I was drunk was she willing to reveal a trace of her true feelings to me.
What is she afraid of? Is it identity, status, or gender?
If so, then I want to sue her that this qiē is not an obstacle.
The atmosphere was just right, and I was about to confess, when I heard a rough voice interrupt our gaze: "Your Highness, someone is coming to the palace, and Mr. Yan is in a hurry to find you!" Let's go home with my subordinates! ”
Without waiting for me to reply, Jiang Zhuo took the lead in looking away, hugged me and gently and skillfully rolled down the ridge, and when I stood up straight, he stepped aside, silent,
I stared at her side face in disbelief, but I couldn't help the guards urging me again and again, and there were ordinary people and vendors who got up early to get out of the stalls on both sides, and I was embarrassed, so I had to get into the carriage of the palace and quickly return to the palace.
When I got out of the car, Jiang Zhuo had already disappeared, and Yan Ke, who arrived after hearing the news, dragged me back to the room to freshen up and dress up without saying a word, while chattering with me about the reason why he was in a hurry to find me back - King Duan suddenly left the fiefdom and was about to arrive in Guanlan City, and the emperor summoned the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the city gate to greet him.
Compared to this astonishing news, the fact that I didn't return home at night seemed insignificant.
Duan Wang Kuang Xizhao is Kuang Xihan's eldest sister, and she is also the daughter of the former emperor's dislike, and this dislike even reached the point that she was sent to Nanfeng City early to garrison the border before she was a minor.
Nanfeng City borders on the barbarian Rouran, the wars continued in the early years, since the Yongjia period of the Great Wu State dominated the world, Rouran returned to the Great Wu, the population in Nanfeng City finally increased, but most of the residents are still soldiers and families who resist the border defense, the people are fierce, but the production is far less.
In Kuang Xihan's memory, she didn't have much impression of this eldest sister, she only remembered that her father was a Rouran palace slave, so she had half of her Rouran blood, she was born with a high nose and deep eyes, brown hair and blue eyes, and she was very conspicuous in the courtyard of the deep palace, and she was also disgusted by the emperor.
Now that she has left the fiefdom without being summoned, is there any plan?
So, Kuang Xiqing summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to the city gate to greet him, what is his plan?
If the other party brought soldiers and horses, wouldn't they send them to the door and teach people to serve a pot?
However, according to my understanding of Kwong Xiqing, she is not a personality who will sit still, since she dares to do so, it should be relied on.
I hurriedly took care of myself, and hurried to the city gates, where the guards surrounded the streets, and the officials stood one by one according to their ranks, as if I was the only one who was late.
In front of everyone's gaze, I straightened my robe, put on a calm appearance, and slowly walked up the stairs to Kuang Xiqing's side.
She glanced at me lightly, did not speak, and continued to look out of the city, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and followed her example, and tried my best to look.
Not long after, sure enough, I saw the dust billowing down, and it seemed that a large group of soldiers and horses were marching in this direction; I turned my head sideways and looked at Kwong Xiqing's expression without a trace—she still stood indifferently with her hands in her hands, as if she was in control of everything, and I was relieved to teach me.
The group of men and horses was so close that they could already see the general outline of the people.
The first person is riding in black and silver armor, with a red hairpin, and he can't see his face clearly, but he can feel a sharp and heroic posture; Behind her were hundreds of black-armored knights, guarding a red-painted carriage in a square arch; Behind the carriage were thousands of thin-armored infantry, outnumbered but orderly, and intimidating.
The procession soon approached the city, and the knight in charge waved his hand, and the black-armored knight behind him quickly retreated to both sides, giving way to the red-painted carriage, while the infantry following behind took out their baggage tents and set up camp on the spot.
"Open the gates." Kwong Xiqing turned to the herald and commanded, and then took the lead and walked down the tower to greet him.
I followed her to the slowly open gate, and looked with bated breath—the knight dismounted, but did not come forward at once, but turned and helped a man from the red-painted carriage, and carried him with him.
The silver-armored knight was born with fair skin, deep eye sockets, and facial features as upright and handsome as carvings, and he was undoubtedly the king of Duan, Kuang Xizhao, but the woman beside her was even more eye-catching-beautiful eyes, clever smiles, and natural in the flow of eyes.
Before I could think about it, King Duan had already pulled the woman to bow deeply, and said loudly: "Minister, Kuang Xizhao and his family Jiang Lanyi, see my emperor's majesty." ”
This simple and single sentence was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves and shocked everyone present.
In Dawu, the only person who is called a dependent to the outside world is the husband.
Kuang Xizhao introduced this woman as a favor, which can be seen as her as the partner that Ming Media is marrying-Princess Duan.
