Chapter 132: Love Must Be Necessary—Worldly Affairs
Ling'er enjoyed the singing and dancing with great interest, and was surprised to find that among the group of white gauze dancing girls, a quiet princess in a fiery red dress appeared in a gorgeous and fiery manner.
A few days after Emperor Xuanwen recovered, Empress Yan took Concubine Wan's mother and daughter back, still living in the same place, and this quiet princess was finally out of the sea of suffering. Today, there is a dance at the palace banquet, which shows that the emperor still has Concubine Wan and Princess Tranquility in his heart, and Ling'er is very happy for the princess.
The name of Princess Tranquility's dance is called "clouds", and the palace maid in the white gauze dress is dressed as a white cloud, and the flying white yarn is like a cloud-like mist, constructing a mystical fairyland. The princess in the red dress stretched out and jumped out of the clouds, like a fairy in the clouds, and the beauty was incomprehensible.
Ling'er looked at the singing and dancing in front of her enviously, even if she had a little dancing skills, she was only attracted by some dancing skills that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have, if she said that her skills were still from the royal family, Princess Tranquility was even better, not to mention that this kind of noble temperament was incomparable to a little folk girl like herself.
Between the gods, after a dance, Princess Tranquility bowed apologetically, and then stepped forward to pour wine for Emperor Xuanwen.
"Emperor, you see that the following is Prince Lei Zhen, the eldest prince of Wuhuan Kingdom, he sent my Da Zhou on behalf of Wuhuan Kingdom to repair the two countries forever, and the other is the savior of his father, you respect the eldest prince and Ji Shenyi on behalf of your father."
Princess Tranquility obediently picked up the wine glass, and came to Prince Lei Zhen, and gestured slightly, Prince Lei Zhen looked at the princess for a long time but forgot to raise his glass.
"Please, Prince!" Princess Tranquility was very generous and reminded.
After a cup, Princess Tranquility moved to Ling'er's table again, and the two of them were exhausted. Ran Ling'er looked at Princess Tranquility but did not look happy, although there was a layer of fat powder on her face, she still couldn't hide the mottled tears, and she was vaguely sad. This is also strange, now it can be regarded as a place of death and then born, how can it be sad again, is it not that Concubine Wan is unwell, and she has to take time to take a look after the party.
"Prince Lei Zhen, how do you think of the widow's quiet princess, can she still compare to your Wuhuan beauty?"
Prince Lei Zhen, who had been following Princess Tranquility's figure with his eyes, couldn't take his eyes off it, and unconsciously praised: "The princess's appearance has been in the sky, and there are a few times in the world that the emperor is too humble."
Ling'er heard these two men say everything you and me, I don't know what I mean, but I hate this Prince Lei Zhen who was fascinated by himself the day before yesterday, but today he showed such a face in front of everyone, is there really a bad man in this world. Thinking in his heart, he unconsciously saw Emperor Xuanwen smile heartily, "Da Zhou and Wuhuan are connected to each other, and this king also wants to reconcile with your country for a hundred years, and now since the prince belongs to the most favored princess of my Da Zhou, then this king should give the prince as a concubine, I don't know what to do?"
Prince Lei Zhen was still disheartened, and suddenly heard such a good thing, where was there anyone who was not happy, but he didn't mean it that way, and unconsciously set his eyes on Ling'er, who was already disgusted with it at this time, and was looking forward to it with fire in his eyes. In contrast, Prince Lei Zhen is still Princess Tranquility is more gentle and lovely, and she is the princess of Da Zhou, which is more suitable for herself.
Emperor Xuanwen nodded with satisfaction, today's matter is considered to be a successful end, and it is not in vain that he has made a twists and turns.
But after a while, King Heng entered the palace and held a brocade box in both hands and sent it to Prince Lei Zhen. Prince Lei Zhen is already smiling and blind, he has a stunning beauty, and then look at this box must be the princess's marriage, is there such a good thing in the world?
Ling'er looked at the quiet princess who retreated to the side and was already lowering her eyebrows and pretending to be her daughter's house, where is the arrogance and aura of the past, but she has also become a beautiful woman in the deep palace like her mother, which is really sad and lamentable.
The banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere, but Ling'er went out silently as if she had lost her soul. I was going to go back to my residence directly, but at this time, I felt depressed and tight, and walked to a pavilion to sit against the pillar, looking at the cool moonlight in front of me and feeling more set off today's happy event with a little helplessness.
"It's very cold at night here, why do you have to embarrass your body, if you are frostbitten, you should drink bitter medicine." A nice word of concern floated from the night, injecting some warmth into the thin and cool air.
Ling'er trembled her arms, and after sitting for a long time, she felt cold all over her body, "Knowing that the night is cold, you still come out, and you are begging for hardship!" I don't feel that the backlash will come out, although it is a scolding, but it makes people listen not so mean.
King Heng looked at Ling'er nearby with pity, and didn't speak for a while, just listening to Ling'er taunt him.
"You already knew what was going on tonight, didn't you? Whose idea was it, and why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know how sad it is for Princess Tranquility to do this, she is such a penetrating woman who was sent from one deep palace to another by you like this, if Concubine Wan Niangniang misses her daughter in the future, where will she go to find her, don't you think it is too unfair and cruel to their mother and daughter to do this?" In the end, I didn't hold back, and I originally planned to put this matter deep in my heart, but as soon as I saw anyone about it, I couldn't help but explode, and I wanted to cry out for them, but what was the use? After venting, Ling'er sat back on the stone bench dejectedly, such a thing is not to say that King Heng can't control it, even Concubine Wan Niangniang is probably trying her best, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the fate of the women in the deep palace can't escape the arrangement of others after all.
"It's not the best place for her." King Heng didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said such a sentence, which made Ling'er's calm heart agitate again, but he supported himself and gave up arguing, everything was in vain, let it be fate!
"I should go back and rest, otherwise Qingxi and Nuo'er will be worried." Ling'er calmly said to Heng Wang who was blocking in front of her, no matter how she comforted her heart, the person in front of her was powerless about tonight's matter, but she still didn't want to see anyone related to this matter at this time, which could be regarded as a deep escape.
"Why do you care so much about the people around you, even your handmaiden, and always turn a blind eye to what I have done for you?"
Ling'er had no intention of discussing this, and reached out to push King Heng, wanting him to let him go.
It is impossible to say that King Heng took the beautiful woman into his arms with his long arms, and the kiss fell like raindrops, kissing on the forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, and finally entering the cherry lips.
Or maybe they are tired, maybe they need some warmth at this moment, since Ling'er did not resist, and slowly catered to each other, the two hugged and kissed each other like lovers of their first love.
"I'm getting out of here." Muttered words.
"I'll be with you." Firm but gentle response.
