Chapter 3 and the Rite of the Ring
After a short episode, the banquet began, and according to the custom, the elders wore hairpins for the juniors.
The guests were already waiting in the hall, and many guests from other countries also wanted to meet this blessed princess Namgygy. When the hall was noisy, suddenly the silk and bamboo ceremonial music suddenly sounded, everyone stopped talking, sat at the table, but looked at the entrance with their eyes, and then heard the voice of the communication: "The emperor and queen have arrived, and Princess Nanzhi has arrived." “
Everyone stood up and saluted, "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old princess,"
The emperor nodded to the eunuch beside him, and when his father-in-law got the instructions, he opened his throat, "No courtesy." The voice was a little sharp, but the meeting room of hundreds of people could hear it clearly.
Only then did everyone dare to raise their heads, stand at the table, and watch the emperor and queen walk towards the high platform.
Nanzhi has a light pink eight-treasure skirt today, with white pearl cloud shoulders on her shoulders, double phoenixes and jade pendants on her waist, she walks crisply, her complexion is fair and ruddy, she has no powder, and she can see a little baby fat, her long hair is like a waterfall, and she simply pulls a few buns, and her hair accessories are also light pink or glass. Although she was amazed by the beauty of Princess Nanzhi, she didn't dare to make a breath of atmosphere, so she could only praise it silently in her heart.
Nan Zhi's face was faint, he couldn't see any expression, but he was in a hurry in his heart, how could this road be so long, and he couldn't look around, he didn't know where Brother Ziyu was sitting, whether the master was here, who was coming from Beiqi, and he could only know when he walked to his seat.
When he arrived at his seat, the ceremonial officer began his procedure, and Nan Zhi just glanced at it casually, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
The queen tied her hair for the queen, and she was absent-minded throughout the whole process, and she didn't come back to her senses until Queen Licheng called her several times, and after returning to her seat, she searched carefully, but still no. He lied that he was a little uncomfortable and quit.
Sang Yu knew that she must not have seen the person she wanted to see, and she was in a bad mood, so she didn't blame her for leaving so many distinguished guests, anyway, the emperor didn't care, and she didn't have to, so she silently followed behind him.
"Ye Zi is a female dependent, if Ziyu doesn't come, she won't be able to sit at the table, could it be that something is delayed," Nanzhi said to herself as she walked, and suddenly heard someone calling her, and when she turned around, she saw Song Xuanhe running over with a swagger.
"Nanzhi Nanzhi, I have a gift for you," he said, and took out a box from his arms.
"But didn't you send it to the main hall just now?"
"That's different, that's what your mother and father gave you, and that's what I gave you." After saying that, he shoved the box into her hand. "I wanted to tell you before, we are going to leave for the desert border tomorrow, but you will tell you later."
"You're going too?" Nanzhi was suddenly a little unhappy, "What are you going to do, the desert is so far away, and it's still rainy." ”
"Father said, I should also go out to experience the experience, and I will have to carry the responsibility of guarding the country in the future, so," Song Xuanhe held her shoulders with both hands, lowered his body and looked at her, "I want to work hard to become stronger." "After saying that, it seems that you are desperate to hold people in your arms, and only by becoming stronger can you protect you, my princess. The smile on his face was still cheerful, but he was a little more satisfied
"Okay," Xuan He let go, "I don't know when I'll be back, don't you say anything to me." ”
Nanzhi's face was about to wrinkle into a bun, usually except for sticking to Brother Ziyu, he was the best bully, and now that she was leaving, she didn't know when she would come back, "Then come back and tell me the story of the desert." Nanzhi said, "When do you leave tomorrow, I'll see you off." ”
Song Xuanhe looked at Nanzhi, who was deeply frowning, and rubbed her head, "You should leave early tomorrow, you have been tossing for so long today, you will have a good rest tomorrow, you don't need to send it." ”
"Then how can you do it, I can't say how long you'll be gone, maybe you'll be injured, maybe you'll die outside, maybe-"
"Stop, stop," Song Xuanhe hurriedly covered her mouth, "Why does it sound like you're cursing me, don't say it, tomorrow, the South City Gate." If you say yes, you are not allowed to cheat. “
Nanzhi pulled away his hand, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go," and the two parted after talking.
The matter of Zero Sum entangled her for half a night, and it was dark before she returned to the princess's mansion, and then she remembered that she hadn't seen Brother Ziyu for a day. Then they climbed over the wall and looked for someone.
I didn't see half a figure when I just landed, and I remembered that the house had only been renovated a few days ago, and there was no one to lead the way, so I knew that I would go to the main gate. Nanzhi thought about it, but still gave up the idea, trouble. As I walked, I thought that there would be no lights in places where there were no people, so let's just go with the lights.
After passing the pond before, I walked inside, but the house was still quiet as always, and I didn't meet a single person on the way. I happened to see a light in the side courtyard, so I went to see it.
As soon as Nanzhi walked to the door, he heard what seemed to be a woman's voice, "Lord Wang, slow down, ahahaha, Lord Wang hates it." The voice is charming. Nanzhi's whole body suddenly stiffened, who else could be called the prince in this mansion.
She stepped forward in disbelief, like pushing the door but didn't dare, maybe it was King Qi staying in the mansion, how could Brother Ziyu be in the side hall. It wasn't until a woman's exclamation came from inside, "Ah, my lord," that she pushed the door open. Walked in.
I saw a man and a woman in disheveled clothes, entangled in bed, and when they saw someone breaking in, they didn't hurry up and straighten their clothes. Nanzhi looked at the two of them, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. The three of them looked at each other like this.
Nanzhi suddenly felt that he had lost his strength, "The prince said that the side courtyard was in disrepair, and he didn't want to be a golden house." After speaking, he asked, "Brother Ziyu still remembers what day it is and why." You, you ......" but you didn't know what to say for a long time.
Ziyu stood up from the side of the bed and walked over slowly, his face full of indifference, "Princess Nanzhi doesn't understand? Princess Namggyi is an adult, so she should understand. Why? Do you have to ask why? And the clothes just now were not tied, revealing a large part of the chest.
Nanzhi kept looking at him, his eyes filled with tears, "Brother Ziyu won't treat me like this, doesn't he love me the most, we said we wanted to be together." ”
"That's just your idea, I don't seem to have promised you anything, besides, I'm only good to you because you're a princess," Ziyu suddenly turned his gaze away and stopped looking at her face, "If you weren't a princess, how could I look at you." ”
"Is that so, you're lying to me, right, it's impossible for Brother Ziyu to say such a thing, Brother Ziyu-" Nanzhi already felt a little unstable on his feet, why is this happening, all this should be fake, it's all a joke.
"Hmph, I'm such a selfish and narrow-minded person," Ziyu lowered his head again, and said slowly close to Nanzhi's ear, "Besides, if you want to marry me, don't you want to do such a thing with me, I can be satisfied now-" The rest of the words have not yet had time to say,
Nanzhi angrily pushed him away, looked at him in despair, turned and ran out. Ziyu saw people leaving, and finally couldn't stand still, sat down along the stool, and then said to the person on the bed, light and distant, without a trace of emotion, and never gave anyone a look.
Nanzhi didn't know how he got back to the house, and when he saw Sang Yu, he hugged her and cried for a night, but he didn't mention the reason.
