Chapter 278: Caught off guard
When the howling wind blew through the Lotus Valley with snowflakes, the Xi Kingdom ushered in another winter.
It was just winter, and Emperor Guangen and Empress Jiayi met with the visiting new monarch Ye Zhiqiu and the monarch and crown prince of Gan.
Ye Zhiqiu was succeeded in the autumn of this year, and he took the initiative to abdicate due to the old king's ill health, so Ye Zhiqiu became the monarch of the world as a matter of course.
Shiguo is a large Buddhist country, and people are strict in their beliefs and do not covet fame and fortune, so it does not take much effort to manage.
It only took three months for Ye Zhiqiu to deal with Yiqiē very well, so he wanted to come to Xi Country for a friendly visit, but he was worried that he would be criticized for coming as a monarch with nothing important, so he made an appointment with the monarch and the prince of a neighboring country.
The three of them, accompanied by a large group of envoys and personal guards, came to visit the Xi Kingdom.
And Shen Xizhen was very happy as soon as he knew the news that Ye Zhiqiu was coming, and personally went to help clean up the room and prepare daily necessities.
"Queen, you care so much about Ye ...... The King of the World? Emperor Guangen asked sourly.
Shen Xizhen put down the work in his hand and looked at Emperor Guangen and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already told you many years ago, the reason why he insists on not marrying is more or less related to the concubine, naturally, this kind of thing is not easy to say, this is not a glorious or commendable thing, but the concubine is clear in her heart, and the concubine also respects him very much, no matter what, the concubine hopes to make friends with him as a brother and sister." ”
Shen Xizhen's tone was very emotional when he said this, and his eyes were red. Seeing this, Emperor Guangen hurriedly took her into his arms and said softly: "I understand, I have always understood. Therefore, I also have great respect for the monarch of the world. ”
"This time he came, the concubine wanted to form a brother and sister with him, but I don't know what he meant, so the concubine will ask him in person at that time." Shen Xizhen said.
"Well, even if you do these things according to your ideas, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly." Emperor Guangen said with a smile.
"The concubine also knows, but you are the husband of the concubine. The concubine must tell you first, that is for you and for our marriage. Shen Xizhen hugged Emperor Guangen's waist and said.
Emperor Guangen kissed her on the forehead lovingly.
When Shen Xizhen and Emperor Guangen personally went out of the city gate to greet Ye Zhiqiu, the king of Gan and the crown prince, Shen Xizhen found that Ye Zhiqiu's whole person was more and more prestigious.
Maybe it's because he became a king. His words and deeds have become more relaxed.
Shen Xizhen couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Ye Zhiqiu came this time like visiting an old friend, so he didn't come with too many political purposes. In addition, Shiguo is a Buddhist country, and it doesn't need to be too political, so in addition to having dinner with Emperor Guangen and Shen Xizhen, he only symbolically chatted a little about politics. Emperor Guangen answered them one by one. I also like this emperor who believes in Buddhism in my heart.
On this day, Shen Xizhen and several envoys personally accompanied Ye Zhiqiu, Gan Guojun and the crown prince to the Yanque Tower for sightseeing.
Ye Zhiqiu and Shen Xizhen walked side by side, and when the north wind blew, they vaguely smelled the fragrance on her body, and they didn't feel their hearts move. This woman, he is still in love, although he does not allow himself to make mistakes in the issue with her, but he still can't control his heart, such as this visit. There is not even a big deal coming like this, and if it falls into the hands of someone who has the intention of sowing discord, I am afraid it will be detrimental to both sides.
But fortunately, he knows how to measure. So there are no particular concerns.
He wanted to be alone with her for a while, saying things that only he could say when he was with her. And she also wanted to be alone with him for a while, indicating that she wanted to recognize him as a brother.
So when she was about to go down the tower after enjoying the scenery, she whispered to him: "Please stay and come to the Swallow Bird Tower again, I will wait for you here, I have a few words to say to you." ”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and pretended to be nothing.
Shen Xizhen also walked down slowly, and then boarded up again accompanied by two personal palace maids.
"You two just wait at the entrance of the stone steps at the bottom of the tower, and don't let anyone else come up except the king of the world." Shen Xizhen commanded, and the two palace maids immediately received the order.
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly climbed the Swallow Bird Tower and strode towards the beautiful figure.
Shen Xizhen turned to look at him, feeling a kind of distress that he didn't know what posture to greet him, and he was also a little scared and worried.
But when she saw him walking towards her with firm steps, she felt as if her legs were stuck in place, her eyes were misty, and she could no longer see his face when he came to her.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't ask her why she called him, and bravely stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.
Shen Xizhen subconsciously pushed him with his hand, but he hugged him tighter.
He buried his face in her jade neck, and said in a dumb voice: "Don't say anything, don't say anything, I think I know what you want to say, I just ask you to let me hug you well, please." ”
Shen Xizhen stopped pushing his hand and let him hold it, but tears flowed down unconsciously.
"You...... It's still so beautiful, I thought I could let go completely, but when I saw you, I knew that all my struggles were in vain, how could I possibly let you go? Ye Zhiqiu whispered in her ear, and suddenly, he grabbed her face with both hands and kissed her red lips violently.
Shen Xizhen was frightened, how could this be? She immediately pushed him hard, but he had also practiced martial arts, her strength was no match for him at all, the more she pushed him, he was held frantically, her head was tightly fixed by his heads, she couldn't dodge, she could only let him kiss her feverishly.
Shen Xizhen was anxious and scared, she knew that she was wrong, she shouldn't have asked him to come here to meet alone, but now it was too late, she pushed hard with both hands, and finally pushed him away.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her with blazing eyes, and the expression on his face was still a little obsessive.
Shen Xizhen calmed down, looked at him and said, "King, I called you out to tell you that I want to marry you as brothers and sisters, I don't know if you agree with my opinion?" ”
Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have expected her to say this, so the expression on his face was faint, and he said: "If this is what you want, then do it, but what I want to tell you is - this will not affect my feelings for you in the slightest." ”
This time, Shen Xizhen stayed in place. (To be continued......)
