Chapter 280: The Concubine's Fight for the Heir 23
When the trees in Pinglin City are shady and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, this place will no longer be a wasteland, and the people's lives will be greatly improved.
Today, everyone suspects that it is a wasted effort to plant trees, and it will be beneficial in the future, Gu Xiaoxiao did not say anything to explain.
The ideas of geniuses are always difficult for ordinary people to understand, even if Gu Xiaoxiao explains them in detail, they may not be able to understand them.
Yiwang is really an amazing character, and Gu Xiaoxiao has another layer of understanding about him. Such a person, if he can become the next emperor of Tianfeng Kingdom, it will be a blessing for the people of Li.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao's heart moved, maybe she found a new way to complete this mission. Tu Lanyun supports the Seven Princes, then she supports the Nine Princes, and there must be someone to compete for power.
One thought led to countless thoughts, and according to the understanding of the Wing King in the plot and in reality, Gu Xiaoxiao felt more and more that he was suitable for the throne. Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, diligent and far-sighted, he seems to be a natural leader.
But how to convince the Winged King, he has no intention of the throne, this is a well-known thing. Fame and fortune, the Wing King was not short of these at the beginning of his birth, and brocade clothes and jade food were even more readily available to him.
Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what reason she should use to convince the Wing King. But the only one who can compete with the Seven Princes is the Winged King.
Less than a quarter of an hour after entering the city, the people who came to meet the Yiwang Mansion were already waiting on the road, and more than a dozen cars full of winter clothes were pulled into the barracks, and Gu Xiaoxiao was welcomed into the Yiwang Mansion.
The architectural style of the northwest is very different from that of Tianshui City, with majestic carved beams and painted buildings. The patchwork rockery is dizzying.
The people in the palace were all selected from the military camp, and when they walked, they didn't squint at the tigers and tigers, and Gu Xiaoxiao entered the Yiwang Mansion alone. No one paid attention. With such a well-trained army of officers and men, one can imagine how heroic it would be to meet the enemy.
"Miss Tu Lan, the general is training troops, you can settle in the wing room for the time being, and there will be hot water and meals later."
"Thanks, tired."
"You're welcome, the general has a word. Let's be sure to entertain Miss Tu Lan. ”
General, the little one can only help you get here, the butler said silently in his heart. After he arrived in the northwest from the Wing King, he began to work as a steward of the palace. For so many years, the prince has been alone in addition to training and training, and there is no one around him who knows cold and hot.
The Winged King is becoming more and more majestic year by year, and they are subordinates. I just hope that he can have simple happiness and joy like ordinary people. There are no fathers and sons in the heavenly family. Although the Wing King is deeply favored by the saints, there are no mother's children in the palace, so how much better can life be.
The northwest is a bitter cold place, and the prince takes the military camp as his home, and he stays in the camp longer than in the palace. They only hope that there will be a female lady in the house, so that the prince can have a warm rear after the bloody battle.
After the next person left, Gu Xiaoxiao walked around the wing. The layout is simple and generous, and there is only a copper mirror and a comb on the dresser.
After a while, the hot water was delivered, and Gu Xiaoxiao closed the door to take a bath. Then I changed into a skirt. For the convenience of the trip, she has been dressing up as a man, and she changed into half-new women's clothes when she was close to Pinglin City.
Now that she is going to see the Wing King, Gu Xiaoxiao doesn't dare to look new and not stained with a trace of dust.
Looking at the girl in the bronze mirror with her eyebrows bent and her lips slightly opened, and her long hair braided into braids, Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, and the fair lady in the mirror immediately became radiant.
It shouldn't be rude to meet guests in this way, thinking of the Wing King Bai Di, Gu Xiaoxiao lost his mind for a moment. The housekeeper's words before were faintly ambiguous, she didn't hear it, she just felt incredible.
What is her identity, what is the identity of the Wing King, how can he be interested in her.
After freshening up, the subordinates came to remove the bucket and sent four dishes and one soup, which made Gu Xiaoxiao's index finger move. In order to hurry, she didn't bother to have a good meal all the way, and most of the time it was hot dry food and jerky.
That kind of food, how can it be compared to a hot fresh meal, Gu Xiaoxiao devoured more than half of it.
It was dark early in the northwest, and not long after eating, the sky was already dark, the wind was whistling, and the wind chimes at the corners of the eaves were crashing.
The lanterns were lit one by one in the distance, and Gu Xiaoxiao stood under the eaves, listening to the wind chimes hitting back and forth, looking at the deep night sky.
At this moment, a flickering lantern floated into Gu Xiaoxiao's courtyard, and she looked at it as a housekeeper.
"Steward Ho is good, but what are the commands?"
"The girl is too polite, the old man took the liberty to come and disturb, if the girl does not plan to settle for the time being, the general invites you to come over."
The twilight was low, and when he came to invite someone at this time, Steward He always felt a little unreasonable. But after the general came back from the camp, the first thing he said was to ask Miss Tu Lan, and he couldn't bear to be disappointed by the general.
So although the general's original words were that if Miss Tu Lan was ready to be resettled, he would invite her over tomorrow, he changed it to today without authorization.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the starlight in the sky, nodded, and took the wind lantern in Steward He's other hand: "The day has already rested, and now there is no sleep, it is a little woman's honor to meet His Royal Highness the Wing King." ”
Steward He smiled like a flower when he heard this, and while leading the way in front, he chattered about the various dangers encountered and the miraculous feats he had made when the Winged King was marching and fighting. There was a strong sense of pride in his words, and he knew everything about the Winged King's battle.
From Steward He's description, Gu Xiaoxiao sketched in front of him a young hero who was resolute, resolute, and strong in martial arts, which made the barbarians fearful.
The wonderful story made the journey short, and the word of what was done made Gu Xiaoxiao come back to his senses from the thrill.
The light poured out from the flower hall as bright as day, and there was silence all around, the stars in the sky were already half scattered, and the snow on the ground was faint.
"Thank you, Steward He, for showing the way."
Steward He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "No thanks, the little one will come back and send the girl back later." ”
After he had said the talk, he turned to leave, the lantern fluttering in the snow.
The flower hall was too quiet, Gu Xiaoxiao held her breath and didn't hear any movement inside. She stepped up the steps and said loudly: "Tianshui City Tu Lanxuan, meet His Royal Highness the Wing King." ”
The loud voice startled the snow on the eaves of the house, and Qingyue's male voice came from the flower hall: "Please come in." Tu Lan girl should not be formal. ”
Maybe she had a thought that she shouldn't have, and suddenly heard the peaceful voice of the Wing King, Gu Xiaoxiao was a little weak-hearted, as if she wanted to persuade the Wing King to ascend the throne, and the idea of using him was already known to everyone.
There was a screen in front of the flower hall, and Gu Xiaoxiao walked around slowly, on eight magnificent Taishi chairs with black paint. Only one person was seated.
The man's eyebrows and eyes were cut out like ice and snow, and a white robe was shining like a full moon under the yellow lights of the flower hall. He's just too good. Every time Gu Xiaoxiao saw the Wing King, she had the illusion that she couldn't describe it enough.
Judging from his appearance alone, the Wing King is too beautiful, even if his facial features are sharp. If he doesn't unleash a compelling momentum. Nor can anyone associate him with killing.
"The folk girl Tu Lanxuan has seen the prince."
Although the Winged King had already said that he would be exempt from courtesy, Gu Xiaoxiao still bent down and bowed, this is the courtesy that the Winged King deserves, he is a hero to the people.
"Please sit down, Miss Tu Lan is too rusty, let the girl come all the way to this wild place, Xiao Wang feels guilty."
He was referring to the seat next to him, which was obviously not appropriate to sit on an equal footing with the prince of a country. But Gu Xiaoxiao analyzed the character of the Wing King, and he didn't care about his status. If she insists on sticking to the old rules. On the contrary, it would disgust the Wing King, so Gu Xiaoxiao sat down.
The tea on the table was still steaming, and the fierceness between Bai Tong's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot under the light, and he pushed the tea he poured by himself to Gu Xiaoxiao's side.
This cup of tea made Gu Xiaoxiao feel deeply troubled, she smiled bitterly and moved the teapot in her direction, and then said: "Lord Wang, I can't help it, you have tormented the people's daughter." ”
Let the prince pour tea for herself, Gu Xiaoxiao's neck is cold, she hasn't lived enough, and she doesn't want to be stimulated by this.
Bai Tong didn't force it, but a trace of unknown emotion flashed in the depths of her eyes, she had always been cooking and making tea for them, and she also showed them the ancient tea art on a whim.
He actually thought about making tea for her many times, and the scene where the two of them talked around the fireplace at night. At this moment, the two sat opposite each other, and he suddenly found that those wishful thoughts also came true, but he couldn't tell who he was, and could only accompany her as a stranger.
Perhaps, she had forgotten him a long time ago, Bai Yan was in a trance, after going through so many tasks, there were not many people he could remember.
After Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, he found that the Wing King had no echo for a while, and peeked into his eyes, but found that he seemed to be looking at the void in a daze.
"Ahem, ahem." Gu Xiaoxiao coughed a few times, and sure enough, she regained the attention of the Wing King.
The Wing King came back to his senses, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip: "There are some things that I have always wanted to tell Miss Xuan, but I am afraid that it will be too abrupt and scare the girl." ”
Gu Xiaoxiao's palms were sweating, why was this rhythm so much like a confession, could it be that the Wing King wanted to have a friendly exchange of feelings with her? Her feet shrank back, and she said uncomfortably, "This doesn't quite fit." ”
Bai Li was amused by the uneasy sound of the person in front of him like a gnat, if he wasn't afraid of scaring her, he really wanted to follow her conjecture to confess. It's just that this time and place are not appropriate, he believes those words, he has time to say.
Although this king felt that it would seem abrupt to say it, he still couldn't help but say that meeting Jun Chu was like returning to an old friend. The first time I met the girl, I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. ”
Yiwang said too sincerely, Gu Xiaoxiao was a little fluttering, when did her charm become so great, even the dignified prince could remember her after meeting once, and he intended to communicate further.
"This, this, the prince is too loving, and the people are terrified." Gu Xiaoxiao really didn't know how to answer, could it be said that she was grateful for her love and honor.
The flower hall fell silent for a moment, and a smile seemed to flash on the angular face of the Wing King, but when Gu Xiaoxiao went to capture it, he found that there was no trace.
This kind of little trick you guess and I guess, you guess and I guess or not, Gu Xiaoxiao really can't play it, so she can only choose to be silent with her nose and mouth.
The two were silent, but the atmosphere did not seem awkward, and this silence was more like a kind of dialogue in which silence is better than sound.
Gu Xiaoxiao was very entangled, when would her relationship with the Wing King be good enough to have a tacit understanding. Except for the Doujin Conference, this should be the third time they have met, where did this feeling of old friends come from.
"What does Miss Xuan think about the northwest, the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River is enviable, but it is a pity that they are the same people of Tianfeng, but there are many disasters and difficulties here."
Referring to the northwest, Gu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment and embarrassment dissipated a lot: "The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river." The scenery outside the Saiwai is magnificent and colorful, and compared with Fengyi County of Tianshui City, each has its own beauty. The cold land in the northwest is barren and not richer than that in the south of the Yangtze River, but according to local conditions, the people's lives may not always be difficult. ”
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't forget to observe the expression of the Wing King when he spoke, and when he saw him listening carefully, his heart was relieved.
She believes that the words of the Wing King are not untargeted, and he must have a deep meaning when he mentions the hardships of the people in the northwest. A person who can know how to plant trees and improve the land will not have hills and valleys in his chest.
Gu Xiaoxiao knew that she was a class leader, but she wanted to try to seize this opportunity and find a chance to get the appreciation of the Wing King.
"I didn't expect Miss Xuan to have such feelings when she came to the northwest for the first time, which is really admirable. When it comes to adapting to local conditions, is there a good way for girls? ”
Bai Li knew better than anyone that Gu Xiaoxiao was a smart and wise person, but pretending to be unaware of it and asking for advice made him feel extremely interesting.
Now Gu Xiaoxiao can be called a small encyclopedia, she knows a little bit of knowledge in all aspects, although it is only a little scratch, but it is enough to talk about it at the moment.
After opening the chatterbox, coupled with the humble advice of the Wing King from time to time, Gu Xiaoxiao talked endlessly about afforestation to artificial canals, from animal husbandry to how to weave sweaters with wool textile wool......
The candle was crackling and burning, and when Gu Xiaoxiao felt that her mouth was dry, and when she carried the teapot to pour water, she found that it was empty, and then she felt tired and the whole person seemed to fall apart.
In the dead of night, there was an occasional crackling sound outside, Gu Xiaoxiao restrained the urge to yawn, and confessed: "Please condemn the prince, the people's daughter has missed the time by talking too much nonsense, and it disturbs the prince's peace." ”
Because he had said too many words and was not moistened by tea, Gu Xiaoxiao's voice was a little hoarse.
The Wing King kept talking, in order to talk to Gu Xiaoxiao for a while, and when he saw her waking up from a dream and finding that the night was late, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and a smile quickly appeared on his lips.
Under the light, the man in white smiled brightly, as bright as a star. Gu Xiaoxiao thought that it was too late at night, so she was dazzled, and when she opened her eyes and looked at the Wing King, she still looked serious.
"It's rare to have a confidant in life, and it's a great pleasure to be able to talk with Miss Xuan at night today, what is the sin of the girl. It's only to blame Xiao Wang for not knowing the right amount and delaying the hour. (To be continued......)
