Chapter 37: The Marriage Contract (3)
After that, Nangong Luo Jing and Yan'er left with the people of that palace.
The man looked at the woman's distant back, as if relieved, took a deep breath, raised a faint smile on his handsome face, and followed the direction of the woman's departure, until the woman's slender figure slowly disappeared at the end of the corner before turning away.
Qingyi Palace
"King Qiqi, the third princess has arrived"
As soon as Nangong Luo Jing arrived outside the Qingyi Palace, the palace people guarding outside the palace gate raised their voices to report, and there was a bit of stupidity in their sharp voices, which made Yan'er purse her lips and laugh secretly.
"Yan'er, don't be rude" Nangong Luo Jing looked at the little palace person who had been announced, and looked back and "taught" Yan'er.
"The slave knows her mistakes" Yan'er knew in her heart that the princess was pretending to teach her a lesson, so she also calculated it.
"Princess, the king is waiting for the princess in the inner palace" I saw a chamberlain dressed in yellow palace clothes walk out of the Qingyi Palace, and said with a low brow.
Nangong Luojing nodded, and walked in with the attendant, while Yan'er stayed outside the door.
"Luo Jing has seen his father" Nangong Luo Jing just wanted to bless himself, but was stopped by King Wei's "excused".
Nangong Luojing raised his head and looked at King Wei, who was half-leaning on the soft collapse at the moment, a faint smile appeared on his soft lips, the smile was shallow, but with a hint of joy, like the warm sunshine outside the window, with a trace of warmth, rendering the autumn depression.
"Father is looking for Jing'er" The woman's indifferent voice was accompanied by the joy that came from the heart, but before the words were finished, she stopped because of a soft sigh, and asked a little suspiciously: "Father, what's wrong with you" I saw that on King Wei's almost aged face, his eyebrows were frowning, and he seemed to be a little worried.
"Jing'er" for a long time, and then King Wei called Nangong Luojing, who had been in this Qingyi Palace for a long time.
Nangong Luo Jing stayed quietly in this dead palace, waiting for a long time before King Wei opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
"Jing'er is here" nodded slightly, and the joy of the road just now has long disappeared at this moment.
"Jing'er is 18 this year, isn't it" King Wei's indifferent voice flowed in this huge Qingyi Palace not lightly, and the echo that precipitated when the voice fell could be faintly heard.
Nangong Luojing hesitated for a while, then replied with a straight face: "Yes" I wondered in my heart: Why do you ask like this.
"Father remembers, your mother is also married to your father in such a flower" Nangong Luo Jing looked at the elderly king in front of her indifferently, I don't know if it was an illusion, she felt that King Wei's eyes were a little sloppy, maybe she remembered the past
"If you can marry your father, your mother will be the happiest person in the world" mentioned the woman, Nangong Luojing felt that her eyes suddenly had a trace of confusion, and her childhood memories were replayed scene by scene like an old movie.
Ancient, but unforgettable.
Warm, but sad for the permanent loss.
When King Wei heard this, a faint smile overflowed from his mouth, he got up slowly, and wanted to get up and down from the soft collapse, Nangong Luo Jing saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
But when he touched the old and vicissitudes of King Wei's hands, his heart trembled.
His misty eyes blurred the old man in front of him.
"I don't know how much time my father has to survive in this world" As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.
King Wei's gentle voice hit Nangong Luojing's heart like a drizzle, not heavy, it was indeed a fierce distress, in an instant, her eyes were moist, and the woman sniffed hard and smiled.
"Father is still young, how can he be old" Some angry voices, like a child.
"Oh, Jing'er is comforting her father" As soon as the words fell, King Wei's slightly hearty voice echoed the coldness of the room.
"No, Jing'er never lies" The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled, the smile was real, the smile was bright, and the smile even buried the bitterness in her heart, and she wanted to divert such a heavy topic in her heart, so she bowed her head and said: "Father summoned Jing'er today because he wanted Jing'er to gossip with his father?"
Hearing this, the smile on King Wei's face gradually faded, and it was replaced by a positive face, Nangong Luojing saw this, so she hurriedly lowered her hands supporting King Wei, and took a few steps back, she thought that she was still a little afraid of her father in front of her, and there was a trace of bitterness in her heart when she thought about it.
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", he is the king, but if one is unhappy, he can take the lives of thousands of people who defend the country, can she not be afraid.
"This morning, Xiling's envoy came to see this king" King Wei's face was solemn, and Nangong Luojing, who saw it, had a palpitation in his heart, Feng Yeyu had seen his father, what was it for, this time Wei Guo owed Xiling too much, Feng Yi was cold to him
Nangong Luojing shook his head suddenly, and didn't think about it anymore, for fear that his thoughts would scare him, this is not a matter of once or twice.
"Xiling envoy, but the princess of Xiling" Nangong Luo Jing pretended to be ignorant, she couldn't let her father know that she was close to the princess of Xiling Kingdom.
"Hmm" King Wei turned sideways and looked at Nangong Luo Jing, who was lowering his brows and looking indifferent at the moment, walked to the center of the hall, and waved his hand, only to see several palace people outside the hall entering from outside the palace gate with neat and small steps, and everyone was holding something in their hands, Nangong Luo Jing looked at those palace people with a confused face, and then looked at King Wei, who was colorless at the moment, and his heart was even more foggy.
"These are" Nangong Luo Jing couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and his eyes swept over the items held in the hands of those palace people.
"Xiling's dowry" King Wei replied lightly, the solemn look on his face did not change, only the voice restored the loneliness when Nangong Luo Jing entered the palace just now.
"Dowry" Nangong Luo Jing's memory suddenly returned to what Feng Yeyu said to herself yesterday, and the strange smile on her face when she looked at her.
"Hmm" King Wei nodded, and then said: "This time it is Xiling who rescued the country, the debt is easy to repay, the country owes favors, and I am afraid it will be difficult to repay the debt to Xiling."
"Father doesn't have to worry" Nangong Luo Jing looked up, with a relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "Father accepted the dowry, right, since that's the case, then Luo Jing is married."
The light voice floated to King Wei's ears, and I saw that his eyes, which had long lost their brilliance, showed a bit of anger that did not match his face at this moment.
"Will Jing'er blame her father?" King Wei looked at Nangong Luo Jing with a worried face.
Nangong Luojing shook his head lightly and smiled.
If it was someone else, Jing'er wouldn't blame her father, not to mention, that person was the person Jing'er cared about
At this moment, Nangong Luo Jing was indescribably happy in his heart.
