Chapter 44: Childhood Sweethearts
Jun Yao Huo Ran woke up to the fact that Xiang Tianlai had been walking outside as Jun Mowen. So he paused, "It's Jun Mo who asked my brother, holding your poetry manuscript all day long, I was torn up a lot, and he ignored me." After speaking, Jun Yao pouted and got angry.
Zhong Lichun finally figured it out, it turned out that he was jealous. It's just that when did I write a poem manuscript and give it to him, I thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that it must be the poem manuscript that I snatched when I gave the Qingying Sword last time. I can't believe that he still hides it like a treasure. Thinking of this, there was a sweet thread in my heart, so I walked into the room from the door generously and calmly. Sitting on the bed, he said, "You like Jun Mo to ask, but he doesn't like you?" β
"How do you know he doesn't like me?" Jun Yao blurted out.
Zhong Lichun shook his head amusedly, "If he liked you, you wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Chu State to Qi State, and did everything possible to sneak into the palace and ask me Xingshi for guilt?" β
Jun Yao opened her mouth and said after a while, "We grew up as young people, childhood sweethearts, he brings me gifts every time he goes back, and he has always been like a brother and sister to me." How can you say he doesn't like me? β
Zhong Lichun sighed, "You also said that you childhood sweethearts grew up like brothers and sisters." So he always treats you as a sister, instead of treating me like he did with me, putting me in his heart and wanting to marry me, which are two completely different likes. β
Seeing her calm expression and calmness, Jun Yao couldn't help but snort, "Shameless, when Mo asked my brother to say that he wanted to take you as his wife, you have entered the Qi Palace, and you still want to marry Brother Mo Wen." β
Zhong Lichun's face sank, and he shouted loudly, I miss you and Jun Mo like brothers and sisters, and treat you kindly, you don't want to get an inch again. Jun Mo and I asked about the matter, and it was not your turn to put the beak. If you really want to marry Jun Mowen, then you will win Jun Mowen's favor in these five years, and if he is really willing to marry you, I have nothing to say, and I am willing to quit, instead of pestering me here. Let's go! If you don't leave, I'll call someone, and you won't be able to leave if you want to. β
"You ......." Jun Yao looked at Zhong Lichun's awe-inspiring body, and couldn't help but shudder. Speechless, he stomped his feet angrily, walked out of the room, and a palace maid flashed out of the dark and grabbed her, took her to the palace wall, and whispered: "Miss, let's go!" Our people are out there to answer them! If it's a little too late, you won't be able to get out. β
Jun Yao looked back at Xiang Ningju in the distance, stomped her feet, and had to jump onto the wall and fly down. The guard who answered outside looked around and quickly led her to an alley in the distance. Jun Yao got into the carriage and returned to the rudder headquarters.
Shi Guang was already sweating profusely, pacing back and forth, regretting it in his heart, in case the two of them met and disagreed, if they started to move, if they hurt Zhao Ruoyan, it would be troublesome. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves from afar, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Jun Yao: "Miss, you are finally back, you don't have to get out of the car, the young master Feige ordered, I want you to go back in time." The subordinate will personally send you back immediately. After saying that, he threw a burden, jumped into the carriage, raised his hand and whipped his hand, and drove the carriage out of the capital. Bumpy all the way, back to the helm of the Chu State.
As soon as Jun Mo saw Jun Yao, and heard that she had entered the palace and met Zhao Ruoyan, he was angry and angry, scolded the two of them fiercely, and ordered Shi Guang to send Jun Yao to her fiancΓ©'s house. Jun Yao is looking for death and life, but he refuses to go. Holding Jun Mowen's thighs and refusing to let go. Jun Mowen had no choice but to lock her up for three months. She was not allowed to take half a step out of the helm. I wanted to go to Qi State, but Chu State's affairs were urgent and I couldn't leave. After pondering for a long time, he returned to his room and wrote a letter, ordering Shi Guang to return to Qi to send it to Zhong Lichun.
Shi Guang didn't dare to slack off, took the letter, flew on his horse, and rushed back to Qi day and night. He ordered someone to be secretly sent to the king's palace.
Zhong Lichun, since Jun Yao left, he felt a little worried in his heart, and he always felt a panic. In the blink of an eye, after the Spring Festival, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and all kinds of lanterns were hung up and down the palace.
Qi Xuan Wang Tian Yujiang sat in the middle of the Wufeng Tower with his arms around the noble concubine Wang Jinxian, looking at the bustling people below, and the colorful lanterns of all kinds of flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as the dragon lanterns roaming around the streets. The heart was full of joy, and Wang Jinxian whispered. Wang Jinxian leaned on his arms and smiled from time to time.
The concubines sitting on both sides were full of envy, and Concubine Li looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces and whispered, and the hatred in her heart was as uncomfortable as five claws scratching her heart. She looked up, got up and said with a smile: "King, sister, today is the Lantern Festival, guess the lantern riddles, sister can't patronize and drink with the king and forget about business." β
Wang Jinxian leaned out from Tian Yujiang's arms, "My sister said it again, today's Lantern Festival, how can you not guess the lantern riddles!" Then according to my sister's opinion, how to guess it! β
Concubine Li smiled brightly, "Since you guess the lantern riddle, of course you have to have a colorful head." Wouldn't it be boring! β
Tian Yujiang was interested when he heard it, and laughed and said: "Whoever guesses the most and is the fastest, I will appreciate the jade Ruyi." β
As soon as Wang Jinxian was about to speak, Concubine Li took the lead and said, "Although Jade Ruyi is good, it is an item after all. Today, it is rare for the people to enjoy together, so it is better to do this. The king beats the drum blindfolded, our sisters pass the flowers, the drum stops, the three flowers fall into the hands of the three people, the three of them go together to get ten lanterns, whoever guesses the most will be exempted from punishment, and whoever can't guess or guess the least, will be punished with a glass of wine, or singing or dancing, or writing or painting, or playing the piano and blowing the flute. β
Tian Yujiang stroked his palms and laughed, "Good idea, it's decided like this." The lonely king turned his back to beat the drum, and there was no need to be blindfolded. What does Aifei think? β
Although Wang Jinxian knew that Concubine Li was not well-intentioned, Tian Yujiang had already spoken, and he didn't want to agree, so he had to agree, so he had to nod, "The king is in charge, and the concubines obey orders." β
Tian Yujiang laughed and turned his back and began to beat the drum, and more than a dozen concubines sat together. The drums sounded, the flowers were transmitted, Concubine Li and a few concubines made a look, and several people took turns to transmit, in short, three flowers, there was always one in Wang Jinxian's hand.
Although Wang Jinxian knew that they were intentional, she was helpless, and she was not afraid of her literary skills. When the drums of Tianyujiang fell, sure enough, one of the three flowers was held by Wang Jinxian in his hand. Two more were taken by the other two concubines.
So the three of them got up and walked down the Wufeng Tower, walked to the lantern stand, and the three of them took off the ten lantern riddles respectively and returned to the Wufeng Tower.
Zhong Lichun stepped down from the Wufeng Tower from the three of them, and he stared intently at the every move of the three people. Seeing the three of them come back to Wufeng Tower, they put their minds at ease, took a sip of the wine glass, and a palace maid next to them immediately came over to pour wine, a lot of heart, sprinkled a little on Zhong Lichun's dress, the palace maid even took out the brocade to wipe it for Zhong Lichun, Zhong Lichun just wanted to say that it was not necessary, but felt that an envelope was suddenly stuffed into his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned, just wanted to look up carefully, and saw the palace maid bowing her head and leaving quickly.
Zhong Lichun quietly stuffed the envelope into his sleeve, excused himself from the table, hid in a place where no one was, and opened the envelope to see that it was Jun Mowen's letter to himself. Zhong Lichun's heart was beating wildly, he took a quick look, quickly hid it, and hurried back to the banquet. During this period, Wang Guifei won this round, and when a concubine lost, she sang a tune. Now the second round is beginting, and there are another concubine, Concubine Li and Concubine De, and the three of them got up to get the riddle again. Later, he returned to Wufeng Tower safe and sound.
Zhong Lichun looked at the thirty palace lamps left below, what did Concubine Li want to do, it would definitely not be just to guess the lantern riddle and be happy with Tian Yujiang. Zhong Lichun carefully looked at the position of the thirty lanterns, and sighed in his heart, oh, so that's the case! So he got up quietly, came to the lantern and looked at it quietly, and saw that there seemed to be a crack on the railing.
So he quietly retreated, and while no one was paying attention, he picked up a small pebble and held it in his hand. Sure enough, this time it was Wang Jinxian's turn and the other two concubines, Wang Jinxian walked in front, the two concubines walked behind, and the three of them took down other lantern riddles, and finally left the three lanterns on the side of the railing. Zhong Lichun quickly flicked the index finger in his hand, and the pebble hit Wang Jinxian's ankle like an arrow.
The two concubines looked at each other, stood behind Wang Guifei, stretched out their hands and pushed, but unexpectedly, Wang Jinxian sighed, quickly squatted down and covered her ankles. The two of them pushed into the air, exerting too much force, one stumbled, and threw himself on the railing, the railing suddenly broke, and the two figures fell like pieces of paper.
Wang Jinxian opened her mouth wide, looked down at the two figures that fell to the ground, her brains splashed, she forgot the pain in her ankles in fright, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and retreated again and again.
Looking at the sudden changes, Tian Yujiang and Concubine Li both changed color suddenly. Concubine Li looked at Wang Jinxian who was sitting on the ground, and a trace of unwillingness and jealousy flashed in her eyes. Watching Tian Yujiang hug and scare Wang Jinxian back to Fengwu Palace. and ordered people to investigate the matter strictly.
Zhong Lichun watched all this coldly, and slowly returned to Xiangningju among the beautiful girls, waving his hand to let Chen Yujin retreat. I couldn't wait to take out Jun Mowen's letter, read it word by word several times, clutched it tightly in front of my chest, and swept away the boredom of many days.
Pick up the letter paper, put it at the head of the bed, think about it and take it out, untie the sachet on the body, pick a hole, fold the letter paper and wrap it in the sachet, and sew the mouth again. Place the sachet on your chest and fall asleep.
Waiting for Chen Yujin to come in with water on the second day, she also saw Zhong Lichun with a sweet face, snoring in a dream, holding a sachet, and couldn't help but feel strange. I was so happy to see her, I must have seen that son in a dream! Otherwise, how can it be sweet.
So he quietly withdrew from the room, and did not wake her up until the third pole of the day. Zhong Lichun woke up, finished freshening up, hurriedly had breakfast, and came to Fengwu Palace.
Wang Jinxian was lying on the bed, the redness and swelling on her ankles had subsided, and when she saw Zhong Lichun coming in, she beckoned Zhong Lichun to sit on the bed, "Holding her hand, she said with palpitations: "Sister, did you say that they wanted to deal with me last night, if it wasn't for the sudden pain in my ankle and squatting down, as long as the two of them gently pushed on the back, it was me who fell." β
Zhong Lichun smiled, "I thought my sister wouldn't think of it!" Doesn't my sister wonder why your ankle suddenly hurts at that moment. β
Wang Jinxian stared at her in surprise, "Could it be that my sister did it on purpose?" β
Zhong Lichun nodded, I always felt that Concubine Li was uneasy and kind, so I quietly went over to take a look, and saw that there seemed to be a crack on the railing. The matter was urgent, and it was too late to inform my sister, so I had to make this decision, hoping that my sister would forgive me. β
Wang Jinxian was shocked for a while before saying: "My sister is really insightful, and she saved my life, how can I repay it!" β
Zhong Lichun smiled, "Between our sisters, are you so polite?" If my sister is in trouble in the future, my sister will definitely help, right? β
Wang Jinxian nodded, "This is natural, it's just that my sister is far-sighted and wise, I'm afraid I don't need my sister!" β
"How so! A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, even if he is a former queen and has been poisoned, how dare I say that I can expect it all. Zhong Lichun said quietly, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
When Wang Jinxian saw her mention Xia Yingchun, she suddenly remembered one thing and said, "Sister, I heard that after a few months of healing, the madness has improved a lot, what do you say!" β
