Chapter 90: A Plea for Mercy

"Next time I guess wrong, Yuning has to promise the imperial brother one thing."

Chu Yongnian re-arranges the cup.

"What's the matter with Brother Huang?" The first moon asked in the evening.

The evil Danfeng of the early eternal year stared at her: "Help this king and your prince brother to ask for a favor." ”

"What do you ask for?" Chu Yongnian raised his eyebrows: "Promise me first, and then talk about it after playing this." ”

Chu Yuewan thought about it and nodded with difficulty: "Okay! ”

"Wait, Lord Wang."

Yun Jinshu suddenly said, "This one is mine, do you think it's okay?" ”

"It's rare for Grandpa Yun to be interested, yes."

Chu Yongnian knew that he was not easy to deal with, but he did not refuse, but was very curious about how he was going to make a move.

He spread out his hands, holding a pom-pom in his left hand, and showed Yun Jinshu a good look, without any problems.

Then he touched the three cups and turned them over to show them, but there was nothing in them.

Finally, he rubbed the pompom in his hand, patted it gently, opened his empty hands, and said, "Guess what, in which cup?" Yun Jinshu pointed to the one on the right.

Chu Yongnian raised his hand to lift the cup, and Yun Jinshu suddenly slapped his wrist and pressed it on the table.

"Yo."

Chu Yongnian was a little painful.

Yun Jinshu flipped over the cup, which was empty, and then turned over Chu Yongnian's hand, breaking his fingers in his wry smile, and the pompom was in his hand.

"That's not interesting, little man."

Chu Yongnian rubbed his aching wrist.

"Lord Wang, I am willing to lose the bet."

Yun Jinshu pinched the small pompom and handed it to the curious baby next to him.

"Squishy! No wonder you can't find it even in the palm of your hand! "Chu Yuewan found a novelty, and hurriedly showed it to Chu Youkang and Chu Sujing.

"What do you want from the little grandfather? This king can afford to lose. ”

Chu Yongnian looked at Yun Jinshu.

"It's not a big deal."

Yun Jinshu leaned in front of him on the table and said in a whisper that they couldn't hear in the early moon evening, "Lord Wang, please stay away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Chu Yongnian smiled dumbly.

Yun Jinshu's eyes were like knives.

"We brothers walk around occasionally, does this have anything to do with Grandpa Yun?" Chu Yongnian put away the three cups.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he didn't want to see you."

Yun Jinshu simply went straight.

"Then do you know why I have to see him?"

"The prince's heart is as deep as the sea, Jinshu doesn't dare to guess, Jinshu only knows that His Royal Highness the Prince's order cannot be disobeyed, and I hope that the prince will do it himself."

After speaking, Yun Jinshu slowly retreated, and said to Chu Yuewan, who had seen it: "Fun, right?" ”

"It's fun!" In the evening of the first moon, he put the small pompom on the table and returned it to the shop here.

Chu Yongnian didn't have the heart to play anymore, got up and rolled up his sleeves, thought for a moment, and then called the three children: "Come, what do you want to play, there are pitchers and shadow puppets over there, are you hungry?" Craving something? He deliberately took Chu Yuewan's hand and turned around to give Yun Jinshu a look.

Yun Jinshu sat on the table with a back face, determined to fight him to the end.

"Second Emperor Brother?" The early moon raised her head and pulled the sleeve of Chu Yongnian.

"Huh? What did Yuning see interesting? Chu Yongnian leaned over to hear her say, "Oh, Yuning wants to see the roulette, let's go."

Kang'er Jing'er, come here! Yun Jinshu jumped off the table and followed them with his arms folded.

"Prince Su......" he pondered, "where were you at that time?" In his memory, the smoke suddenly billowed out, the flames soared into the sky, the sound of soldiers killing was endless, and when the sword light and sword shadow, blood stained the stratus clouds.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the sixth year of the Dagao Dynasty is celebrated by the whole world.

The mighty tribute carriage of the Tobo Kingdom drove into the palace gate, held a banquet in the Zhaohua Palace, and received the three princesses who returned to their home country.

The old emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the Yun Empress was graceful and dignified, sitting quietly beside the emperor to receive the same congratulations.

The courtiers and royals sat on both sides, and the early moon evening was also led by Hibiscus and Hanka, watching from a row of seats behind the dragon chair.

Tobo's envoys came to the palace to bow to the emperor first, offering gifts, exaggerating to claim that Tobo has been blessed with the grace of the Dagao Dynasty over the years, and the people's livelihood is stable, and this year it is under the experience of agriculture and animal husbandry brought by the three princesses of the Dagao Dynasty, and has obtained a considerable harvest.

Therefore, King Tobo was grateful, and specially offered a gift that was several times more than in the past, and paid tribute to the Central Plains.

"Your Highness."

Han Xiang quietly crouched in the ears of the early moon, "Look at that messenger of Tobo, doesn't he look like a little ghost in the Yama Palace?" "Looking at the messenger at the beginning of the moon, he was black and thin, with a big pouting face and a big nose, dressed like a brocade cloth wrapped around a few times, and with a pointed fur hat on his head, which was indeed a little strange.

Where has she seen this kind of scene, since the age of the previous life, there is only this small piece of world in the palace left in her daily life.

"It's a little bit like that."

She whispered to Hanxiang.

"What you see isn't much."

Han Xiang said, "I heard that there are still people over there who have two heads, and some of them are full of fangs, and they use people's heads as wine glasses on weekdays, and they also eat raw meat with blood...... "The early moon was creepy, and she quickly hugged herself and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

"Ahh Hanka said, deliberately biting down on her little cheek.

Chu Yuewan, who was inexplicably bitten by the "little ghost", looked aggrieved.

"Don't fool Your Highness."

Fu Hui stopped Han Xiang and rubbed her face for Chu Yuewan, "Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense, where are those strange things, the people over there are also people, but they look a little different, and the customs are different from those of the Central Plains."

Don't be afraid. ”

Chu Yuewan looked at the messenger and said worriedly, "King Tobo, do you look like this?" Fleur shook her head: "The slave maid has never seen King Tobo. ”

didn't get an answer, Chu Yuewan had to look at the messenger again curiously, and hid the words in her heart for the time being.

The old emperor listened to the envoy's words silently, but did not show any joy.

Without saying a word, he ordered the messenger to be rewarded, and he was invited to sit down in the temple.

The subordinates carrying the gifts walked through the main hall in a row, and then went out after showing the emperor, and the dazzling gold and silver utensils, beeswax incense beads, turquoise, vivid and exquisite statues of gods were lifted up and carried down one by one.

Liu Cunmao reported the names one by one, and soon the people present could hardly remember how many varieties there were, and this was only the varieties that could be brought up to the temple, as well as seeds, livestock, camellia, etc., which were no longer brought in, and were directly sent to the treasury for counting.

When the last treasure was displayed, the ceremonial official standing outside the palace gate said in a loud voice: "Xuan--Princess Tobo--" The music in the palace was played, accompanied by a melodious tune, and a group of women with similar appearances and clothes to the messenger walked up to the main hall, they were like flower petals, surrounded by a tall and bright beauty.

When the old emperor saw the young and moving woman, his expression was slightly moved.

The beauty in the center of the crowd had a fair silver basin face, her eyebrows were drawn slender and long, and the corners of her eyebrows and forehead were pasted with flowers, just like the makeup of a woman in the Central Plains.

The long, dark and thick hair was all gathered up, coiled on a long bow, and decorated with strings of beeswax coral, which looked unusually heavy.

The clothes are also exotic, with a rainbow-like thick thick skirt wrapped around the waist, a long skirt mopping the floor, and slowly walking towards the dragon chair.

She stopped at the front of the stairs and bowed to the emperor with her chin bowed.

"Princess Tobo had an early dream, meet the Dagao Sheng, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up."

The old emperor raised his hand to signal.

Chu Meng thanked him again and got up.

"I haven't been back for many years."

The old emperor spoke in a kind voice, "In the past few days in Dagao, are you still used to eating?" ”

"Back to my father, the Dagao Dynasty is Mengzao's mother country, and over the years, Mengzao has been thinking about his homeland and his father all the time."

Chu Meng replied early, but still never looked up at him, "One heart, just to do your best, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and always maintain peace and tranquility between Dagao and Tobo, and enjoy each other." ”

The old emperor stroked his knees and was silent for a moment.

"I'm tired."

He said after a long time, "Go and rest, and at the dinner, we will have a good conversation as a family." ”

The first dream got up early.

Suddenly, she raised her head and glanced at the early moon behind Queen Yun.

"Is that the ......" A thought flashed in Chu Mengzao's heart, so he avoided his gaze and withdrew from the Zhaohua Hall with his entourage.

…… The audience is in the morning, and the dinner does not begin until dark.

For such a long time, the early moon is late.

I heard that the third sister had settled in the harem, and she wanted to meet her, but she didn't know where it was, when it was, so she and Hanxiang Furong slipped to the Chenji Hall to ask her father.
