Chapter 181: Bonfire
Zhong Lichun looked up and saw Qu Ziru looking at Zhang Shaoqing with envy on his face, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking. Finally swallowed it back. couldn't help but smile slightly, "If Mr. Qu has anything to say, as long as this palace can do it, he must try his best!" ”
"Really? Thank you for your grace. Qu Ziru thanked him repeatedly.
"You haven't said anything yet, don't be busy saying thank you yet, I don't know if I can do it." In fact, Zhong Lichun had already guessed the truth, just waiting for Qu Ziru to speak.
Qu Ziru's face turned red, "Weichen wants to marry Xiaoxue as his wife, please fulfill it." ”
Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, "Mr. wants to marry Xiaoxue, but you have to think about it, don't betray it in the future!" Otherwise, Xiaoxue will be angry and will slap you to death with one palm, aren't you afraid. ”
Qu Ziru patted his chest, "Weichen swears that he will only marry Xiaoxue in this life and will never take a concubine." ”
Zhong Lichun said: "Although I am her sister, I can't make decisions for her, first, I need her own consent, and second, I have to nod my grandfather and parents." So be it! I sent a letter to the Merlot Palace, and asked what Cher and her father and mother meant, and what they had to say. ”
Qu Ziru was overjoyed, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”
Zhong Lichun waved his hand, "It's too early to say thank you, it's not too late to thank them when they have a reply." After speaking, he immediately picked up the pen and wrote two letters, handed them to Zhang Shaoqing, and sent them to the Merlot Palace and the Mo family quickly. talked a little about his current situation, and explained Qu Ziru's proposal to ask them to decide. After everything was in order, he smiled and asked, "You two came together, is there anything wrong?" ”
Zhang Shaoqing smiled, "The ministers received a post report yesterday that the emperor arrived in Yan Country about yesterday, and I heard that Murong Yan personally went to the border city to greet him, and he stayed in the palace directly, and he will go to Shanrong with King Yan on the same day." ”
"Oh! Murong Yan went to the border city to greet him, and he could be regarded as having a heart. Zhong Lichun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself why Jun Mo didn't write a letter and send it back with the post newspaper, didn't he know that he was thinking about him.
Zhang Shaoqing saw that she was a little lost, and took out a letter from her arms, "This is a letter of peace specially written by the emperor to Niangniang." ”
"Oh, Jun Mo asked to write it himself. Great, why not take it out sooner. Zhong Lichun hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it. I couldn't wait to open it and take a look, the dragon flying and the phoenix danced, but it was written by Jun Mowen's own handwriting.
Zhong Lichun read it over and over again before carefully putting the letter away and putting it on the head of the bed. asked: "During the time when the emperor left, how did the political affairs of the DPRK and China be handled?" ”
"Qi Yu Niangniang, everything is fine in the DPRK and China, and the officials of all ministries perform their duties, and now they are diligent in doing things." Zhang Shaoqing bowed and replied.
"Shaoqing, sir, the emperor is not here, we must send more people to keep an eye on the movements of the two degraded princes, and if there is any change, we will strike first. Remember! Remember! ”
Zhang Shaoqing felt a pang in his heart, how could he forget this stubble. Then he bowed, "Thank you Niangniang for reminding me, and the minister will immediately send someone to monitor their movements." ”
Zhong Lichun waved his hand, "There is no trivial matter in the court, the emperor is not here, you must be more cautious, there can be no mistakes, the slightest mistake will cause a big disaster, you go down!" If there is anything, come and report it, my body is fine, don't worry! ”
Zhang Shaoqing and Qu Ziru nodded again and again, and a cold sweat broke out on each of their heads. Hurriedly got up and said goodbye, and hurried out to busy their own affairs.
After Zhong Lichun saw the two of them leaving, he took out the letter and read it a few more times before putting it in the dark compartment of the dresser. A hanging heart is slightly lowered. I fell asleep quickly on the bed, and I slept very peacefully.
Jun Mowen and Murong Yan crossed the border of Yan and came to the Shanrong tribe, only to know that Zhao Erya, the prince of Zhao, and Wei Wuxian, the prince of Wei, had arrived at the Shanjie tribe one day earlier.
The Taal chieftain of the Ring tribe personally greeted the two people, placed them in two large tents, and held a grand bonfire party in the evening to welcome the two kings.
Jun Mowen and Murong Yan had just had dinner when they were invited to a bonfire party. Jun Mowen smiled slightly, "Brother Yan, let's go and see the situation!" You can't keep people waiting.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the periphery of the bonfire party, the audience was shaken, and the tribal chief hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Welcome to the two Majesies, let us grassland flowers as smart and beautiful as pearls, Princess Tanaqige come and dance with the two Majesies!" ”
"What did my father call me?" The young and the young, the beautiful and beautiful Princess Tanaqige ran to the Taal chief like a whirlwind.
Chief Tal smiled and said, "Tana, this is His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. This is His Majesty Emperor Yan. In the place of your father, you will entertain them. After saying that, he smiled slightly at Tana.
Tana's face turned red, "Father, don't worry, Tana will definitely entertain the two Majesties warmly." After speaking, he said warmly to Jun Mowen and Murong Yan: "Welcome to our beautiful Garga steppe as guests. The bonfire in front of us was a grand welcome ceremony for our two Majesties. After speaking, he took the hands of the two people and walked into the party scene.
As soon as the three handsome men and beautiful women walked into the bonfire party, they immediately applauded, attracting everyone's attention, and a tall and mighty man stood up, bowed to Tana Qige and said: "The beautiful princess of Tana Qige on the grassland, I am Hu Zhifei, the crown prince of the Donghu Empire, how about inviting the princess to dance with me?" ”
Tana Qige smiled and pulled a woman next to him and said with a smile: "Dear Royal Highness the Imperial Crown Prince, this is my cousin Lord Tana Zhurig, she admires His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, let her dance with His Royal Highness!" ”
Hu Zhifei looked at Jun Mowen and Murong Yan unwillingly, and then looked at Princess Tanaqiqige, seeing that she looked indifferent and rejected thousands of miles away, he had to pull up the shy Lord Tana Zhurige and walk into the center of the party.
Jun Mowen and Murong Yan smiled slightly, quietly withdrew their palms, and sat on the grass.
The two people in the middle danced astringently, one was full of shyness, his face was flushed, and he secretly glanced at the man he liked from time to time. A heart is not right, from time to time to sweep to Tana Qiqige's side, looking at Tana Qige sitting next to Jun Mowen and smiling. The dance steps were often wrong, and he stepped on Tanajurig several times in a row, and the pain made Tanajurig almost cry. When Hu Zhifei stepped on her again, she groaned, leaned her whole body, and fell forward on Hu Zhifei.
Hu Zhifei was stunned for a moment, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and out of instinctive reaction, he hugged her in his arms. Immediately the applause was thunderous, and the people sitting next to him booed and shouted in unison. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kisses one, Tana Zhurig kisses one."
Lord Tanazhurig's heart was pounding in shame, and he hurriedly jumped out of his arms. Covering his face, he quickly slipped out of the crowd.
Hu Zhifei was stunned for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses, when he saw the tribal chief say loudly: "Congratulations to the crown prince for getting the beautiful Caiyun County Lord Qingmi on our grassland." Please accept the most sincere blessings from our tribe. After speaking, he hung a white hata around Hu Zhifei's neck, put his palms together, and sincerely prayed that they would love each other.
Hu Zhifei's mind was dizzy, blank, and he didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed the chief and asked what was going on.
The tribal chief explained with a smile, "In our tribe, if an unmarried man holds an unmarried woman in his arms at a bonfire, he is courting her in front of everyone. And if the woman doesn't object to it, this family business is settled. Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held the county lord of Caiyun in his arms, and the county lord of Caiyun did not speak out against it, so this family affair is settled and ironclad.
Hu Zhifei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My favorite is Princess Tanaqige, I don't know your customs here, I just saw that she almost fell to the ground, so I reached out and hugged her, where is asking her for a kiss?" You're mistaken. ”
The tribal chief's face sank, "It's best for the crown prince to pay attention to proportion, what you said, this king didn't hear it, you don't know, it doesn't matter, now the entire tribe knows that the beautiful Caiyun County Lord has agreed to your marriage proposal." Now that you say that you have misunderstood and don't want to marry, do you know what the consequences will be? ”
"What consequences?" Seeing his heavy face, Hu Zhifei hurriedly asked.
"The man is to accept the spitting of every unmarried woman of the tribe who has reached the age of fifteen, plus a whip." The tribal chief swept him and said unhurriedly.
"This ...... How else do people live? Hu Zhifei was dumbfounded when he heard this. I was a prince who was spit on by a woman and whipped up, so how will I face the subjects of the empire in the future? ”
"Then the crown prince can only marry the county lord of Tana Zhurige as a concubine, and the county lord of Caiyun and Naqiqige are called the twin pearls of the grassland, she can sing and dance, she is skilled in bows and horses, beautiful and generous, so she is not worthy of the crown prince? It is a blessing for the crown prince to be able to marry her. ”
Although Hu Zhifei was unwilling and reluctant, he could only agree after weighing the pros and cons. He stumbled back to his tent.
Jun Mo asked the tip of his ear, and listened to the conversation between the two of them, and immediately became vigilant, and unconsciously distanced himself from Princess Tanaqige. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he was also relied upon?
Tana Qiqige stood up and asked Jun Mo happily, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, can I invite you to dance?" ”
Jun Mowen smiled slightly, and just wanted to speak. The prince of Zhao stood up and smiled at Tanaqige, "Can Xiao Wang ask the beautiful princess of the grassland to dance?" ”
Tana Qige looked at the eldest prince Zhao Erya's face was slightly stunned, "Your Royal Highness the prince of Zhao, it is very impolite for you to interrupt others like this, I will not dance with an impolite person." ”
A trace of annoyance flashed on Zhao Erya's pretending to be gentle, a woman who doesn't know how to lift, if you are angry with me, Lao Tzu will make you unable to eat and walk around. He quickly hid his dissatisfaction and replaced it with a smiling face, "I'm sorry, this king is too anxious, please forgive the princess!" ”
Princess Tana was disturbed by him, and when she saw Jun Mowen's cold face, she refused to be thousands of miles away. Reluctantly, he sat back where he came, thinking about how to speak so that he would not be rejected.
