Chapter 213: Out of the Water Hibiscus (1)
Outside the Silent Temple, the moonlight was misty and hazy, and the ethereal clouds gradually obscured the moonlight. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the cold wind passed slowly, and the shadows of the trees rustled and sounded.
On the walls of the hall, two figures were reflected in the candlelight, and they sat and stood at a distance.
The high priest said cautiously: "The stars are changing tonight, and Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty should be informed. ”
Oss's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "The stars have always been fickle, so why should you be in such a hurry to report it? ”
"Weichen follows the orders of the heavenly officials, and sees the trend of stargazing and meteorology, lest he not be able to convey it to His Majesty in time, and delay His Majesty's holy decision."
"No matter how good a courtier is, he can't do everything, so why do you blame yourself?" Oss's voice was deeper than usual, "In that case, I'd like to hear it." ”
"Weichen recently watched the stars, and was stunned to find that the star of Yaoguang appeared in the western sky, its form is like a dragon and a phoenix dance, the light is magnificent, peaceful and dazzling, and it has the potential to be widely accepted when the stars are turning, which is really terrifying!"
Os's gaze seemed to sweep over his face unintentionally, and he said quietly: "If it is an auspicious star, how can it be terrifying? ”
The high priest stroked the corner of his long silver-white hair and said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the terrifying thing is that this Yaoguang Star covers up another Kaiyang Star!" ”
A flash of clarity flashed in Os's eyes, the Kaiyang Star was once the life star given by the priest to Princess Linna, and now the meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Oss narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was a little gloomy, "You have always been the head of the concubine, but now you want to borrow the celestial phenomena to get rid of dissidents for the concubine?" ”
The priest was isolated in the temple and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister, the minister has always watched the world and followed the law of change of events, and does not look at anyone first, the only consideration is for the people of this realm of Loilai." ”
There was a faint sarcastic smile on Os's lips, and he obviously didn't believe it, "So, what kind of advice do you want to give me when you look at the stars?" ”
The high priest's eyes lit up, "Weichen's admonition may be contrary to the concubine's intentions......" He wanted to speak and stopped.
Os's eyebrows raised slightly, "Since the answer is already coming out, why hide it?" ”
"Now that the Kaiyang Star is gradually dimming and fading, I am afraid that there will be a trend of the stars slipping, and I hope Your Majesty will make plans as soon as possible."
"What in the opinion of the priests?"
The High Priest gently twisted his hair, which hung down between his temples and was as white as snow, "With all due respect, Your Majesty should entrap the Carter family, otherwise it will only exacerbate the uneasiness of the Carter family." ”
Netting? Oss suddenly snorted coldly in his heart, how to envelop them to eliminate their uneasiness? Another Carter princess?
"What else?"
The high priest raised his hand to his chest and said reverently: "Please also beware of one more person, Your Majesty!" ”
Oss frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is he?" ”
The dormitory was immersed in deathly silence, and the sound of the wind came from outside the temple, only to hear the sudden click of the wind window.
The high priest raised his eyes and asked angrily, "Who is sneaking around outside?" ”
As if only the slight rubbing of the garment was heard, silence returned to the outside of the hall.
"It seems that some people are very concerned about the priest's words!"
Os's voice was cold, but it seemed to poke directly into the high priest's heart.
The priest's eyes darkened slightly, "Since the will of heaven is like this, it is inconvenient for Weichen to say more, but who to watch out for, Your Majesty already knows it in his heart." ”
★★★★ The legend ★★★ of the mermaid in the parchment
Oss returned to the family banquet again, and it was only a short cup of tea.
But when he saw that the crowd was bent, he respectfully bowed and said, "Welcome to His Majesty." ”
The King of Loilai, dressed in a dark yellow robe, sat down calmly and coldly, and looked fixed in the direction of Man'er for a moment, and then suddenly shifted his gaze.
Man'er also followed everyone to greet him just now, she blindly lowered her eyebrows and had no intention of meeting his gaze, and her pretty little face when she first came to the Lotus Palace was now depressed without interest.
Oss's voice was not angry, and he announced coldly: "Mother, today's family banquet is the intention of the lonely king, and the purpose is precisely to make the relationship between me and the mermaid princess public, and I will hold a canonization ceremony on the next day. He was still speechless, and swept his gaze to everyone, "Therefore, in the palace, don't let me hear those words that catch the wind and shadows." ”
Oss's voice echoed majestically and majestically across the main hall, like the enduring ice on a thousand-year-old snowy peak.
Everyone present gasped and fell into silence in shock.
At the last moment, the concubine was still slowly twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, and the next moment, the concubine's face was the most difficult to see, only to see the blue tendons on her forehead, and her voice said coldly: "Where does Your Majesty plan to raise Princess Caterina?" ”
Os's expression was still cold and indifferent, his eyes stared straight at the concubine, and instead of answering, he asked, "I'm just curious, which side is the concubine on?" Is it the Donner family or the Carter family? ”
Everyone present could feel the rivalry between His Majesty the King and the Concubine Niangniang, and it seemed that there was a flame fighting between the eyes of the two, and it could erupt at any moment.
In the end, the concubine's hand that gently twisted the Buddha beads trembled slightly, she took the lead in retracting her gaze, changed her sharp words, and said in a gentle tone: "The mourning family naturally has to think about the Donner family everywhere, and even more importantly, for the sake of the entire Loilai realm, but Your Majesty, you also have the blood of the Carter family flowing in you, do you have to be partial as appropriate?" ”
Anyone can hear that the concubine's words at this time have already carried the meaning of retreat.
Pan Sen on the side didn't speak, his arms folded in front of his chest, and his cold face looked like he was watching a show.
At this time, Sain's face was still unfazed, he sometimes stared at Man'er, sometimes silently listened to the conversation between the concubine and Oss, and then drank the wine in the glass one after another.
Man'er, who was sitting next to Os, suddenly found that the focus of everyone was no longer on him, and he was happy to treat himself as an ornament, and began to eat the delicate green tea sesame glutinous rice cake on the porcelain plate without a bite.
The look in Os's eyes suddenly became a little unfathomable, "Caterina has committed the crime of deceiving the king, why, doesn't the concubine know it yet?" ”
The concubine's thin red lips trembled slightly, and she felt that there seemed to be something in her chest, and there was an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
"As the saying goes: a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days, Lina has always been infatuated with His Majesty, and in the past few years, she has been very good to His Majesty, is it ...... Has Your Majesty forgotten it? ”
The corners of Os's cold and thin mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled coldly.
The concubine's noble and dignified face became condensed in the next moment, and a flame appeared between the kind eyebrows at that time, "What? What is wrong with the mourners? ”
