Chapter Ninety-Six: Ordinary as Sand

()

Moonlit night, on the north bank of the river.

A young woman stood in the wind, she had been standing for a long time, and she always had a shallow smile on her face, perhaps because she was in a good mood, or perhaps because the people who were waiting would come

After another half of the incense time, a young man stood behind the woman and asked, "It's the letter you sent to the Anping Palace."

The woman smiled and turned around, with a simple salute, "Princess Meili of Northern Qin is polite, Queen Zhan is fine."

"Hmph" Zhan Nian saw that it was Mei Li, and turned around to go back. Mei Li was not in a hurry, but shouted in the back, "Since Queen Zhan can come here without hesitation for the word Jinyan, why can't she listen to my words patiently?"

Sure enough, as soon as the word "Jinyan" came out, Zhan Nian immediately paused, then turned around and walked back, standing ten steps away from Meili, and said coldly, "Give you half an hour, don't talk nonsense, don't play tricks, start now"

Mei Li's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, wouldn't this person talk well to others If it weren't for the revenge for herself, she really wanted to turn around and leave immediately, you deserve to be deceived and abandoned, and you deserve to be heartbroken and unloved for the rest of your life

Containing the depression and indignation in her heart, Mei Li put a smile on the corner of her lips again, "Empress Zhan, about the empress, I really can't finish talking about it for a while."

"Hey" Mei Li made a silent gesture towards Zhan Nian, "Don't be busy getting angry first, good things naturally have to be said well, I only have one sentence, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to listen to the rest or not." ”

"Empress Jinyan is not dead"

After saying this, Mei Li no longer spoke, but looked at Zhan Nian for a long time, watching his iceberg face that had not changed for 10,000 years shatter in an instant, and it felt very happy.

"Tell me what you know"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out of between the teeth, and a pair of ancient eyes loomed, hiding emotions that could not be detected, and also hidden invisible dangers.

"Ha" Meili smiled secretly in her heart, now you are begging me, and you are still so domineering, how can there be such a cheap thing, I risk losing my life to tell the truth, I always have to get some benefits

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me one condition"

Mei Li offered her own price, confident that she could make a fair deal. And the next moment, a figure came to her with lightning speed, one hand clamped the slender and graceful neck, and tightened inch by inch.

"Okay, say it, I promise to spare you today"

"Ugh"

Mei Li, who was choked by the throat, struggled indiscriminately but had no effect, seeing that the qi entering was getting less and less, and her face had begun to turn blue, Zhan Nian suddenly let go.

Mei Li slumped on the ground, as if she had just walked around from the ghost gate, and she was very aggrieved and scared, but she didn't dare to cry. The person in front of him shot ruthlessly, and he didn't make any sense, seeing that she died once, how many lives she had enough to toss like this, if she was not forced to do so, she would never have anything to do with such a person in this life

"Finish what you know once, don't let me bother to say anything again, if half of the sentence is untrue, the next time I will directly strangle you"

"I said," Mei Li no longer sold Guanzi, and replied in 1510, "When I came back from Xiangcheng, the Southern Emperor set up a secret from the sky

The plan to cross the sea and kidnap the empress to Nangan, the ship that caught fire and sank was a cover for people's ears"

"I saw it with my own eyes when I was in Nanqian, and the new queen of the Southern Emperor was the Empress Jinyan"

"Therefore, I also got into the trouble of killing, the Southern Emperor sent someone to take my life, I escaped, I was not angry and at the same time felt that the empress was really pitiful, she was trapped in Nangan every day with tears on her face, missing her homeland but not free, so I took the risk of being hunted down to find you, and told you this secret"

"They're going to get married tomorrow, so go and save her."

"My words are finished, I swear in the name of the princess of Northern Qin and the national fortune of Northern Qin, everything I said is true"

In the dark, Mei Li couldn't tell what the mood of Queen Zhan in a black brocade dress was, she only felt that the moonlight was shrouded in dark clouds, everything in heaven and earth was hidden in darkness, and the weather in early summer was suddenly cold and shivering.

Looking at the back of Zhan Nian's departure, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the Empress of Beiluo, marrying such a queen, it is no wonder that she would abandon her husband and children and run to the arms of others, but it is a pity that Mei Li finally laughed easily, "What about the empress, you can't escape the fate of the red face after all"

With a happy mood, Miri returned to the ship. As soon as he reached the deck on the second floor, he bumped into Lian Jing and a face that was as gloomy as the night.

"Miri, where have you been?"

Lian Jing's voice was neither happy nor angry, but Mei Li was so flustered that she could only laugh and soothe her: "Ah Jing, why are you awake, I can't sleep, I just went out for a walk." ”

"Meili" Lian Jing's face suddenly became painful, "You actually lied to me, you even lied to me"

"I didn't lie to you, I really went for a walk, the moonlight by the river is very beautiful, so linger, Ah Jing, don't be angry."

Mei Li still tried to cover it up, she coquettishly pulled Lian Jing's hand, but was thrown aside, and an angry voice asked her, "How did the bruise on your neck come from?"

Mei Li immediately covered her neck when she heard this, but she couldn't say a reasonable explanation, so she could only keep retreating under the pressure of that step.

"Meili, you said that you don't want to be separated from me and want to stay with me for a few days, but you actually lied to me, right?"

"Miri, do you know the consequences of telling this story?"

"That Nanqian is my home country, and I have my relatives; His Majesty the Southern Emperor has the grace of knowing me, and the friendship of friends, have you thought about it for me."

"I once said that His Majesty has decided to let you go, as long as you take the Hui Mengdan, the past grievances will be written off, and you don't want to eat the Mengdan, and you really told this secret to Queen Zhan, Meili, what are your intentions?"

Mei Li was forced to retreat to the guardrail of the deck, and when she turned around, she saw the surging river, and the desperate situation bred courage, she grabbed Lian Jing's clothes and roared: "Is it wrong for me to avenge myself, do you have to swallow your anger if I am bullied?"

"On the contrary, you keep saying that you love me, but you can't even protect the woman you love, you are a coward"

"It's me who is a coward," Lian Jing waved away the little hand that was tugging at the placket of his clothes, "so you never thought about marrying me at all, you never thought about our future."

Well, now it's difficult for me to marry you, and the future war will be even more distant."

"Let's leave now, I'll send you back to Beiqin to be a proud princess, where can I be worthy of you, I'll go back to Nanqian, you don't think about me, but I, a coward, only have you in my heart"

After speaking, Lian Jing turned around and went down to the first floor, and it didn't take long for the passenger ship to start sailing again. Miri stood on deck for half the night, and finally muttered, "I'm not wrong"

Nangan Canaan Mountain

There was a rainstorm last night, and Luo Yan was still worried about whether the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk, and whether he could get married smoothly. Unexpectedly, the sky was clear early in the morning, and the bright sun spread down, and it was another vibrant day

Not surprisingly, she began to be tossed from the beginning, and by the time she was dressed in the layers of intricate and beautiful crimson wedding dresses, the sun had risen in the sky.

With a high silk phoenix crown and a long skirt dragging the floor, Luo Yan now has difficulty even turning around, so he can only tilt his head slightly and ask: "Queen Mother, I can be regarded as a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon."

The Empress Dowager Nan was originally full of amazement, but after hearing this sentence, she was full of doubts, what does this mean

Luo Yan then muttered to himself, "If this is not counted, it can only be blamed on Ying Qi."

The Empress Dowager Nan asked tentatively: "Why blame Yingqi"

Luo Yan didn't hide it, and said directly: "He always says that he is as beautiful as a flower, and I am as ordinary as sand, and I can get him as a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

"I'm actually a little unconvinced in my heart, maybe it's because his eyes are not very good."

The Empress Dowager Nan endured and couldn't help laughing, and said in her heart: Is her son afraid that Luo Yan will be too proud, or afraid that she will be murderous or some other careful thoughts

Thinking of this, he became serious again, and made a serious evaluation: "It's not as ordinary as sand, I see that your skin is quite fair, your eyes are not very small, and your waist is barely slender, in short, the little jasper is more than enough."

As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager Nan quickly received the attention of dozens of pairs of eyes, which seemed to ask: Do you really see it clearly, don't you have a bad conscience when you say such things

A heavy cough made everyone quickly retract their gaze, and the Queen Mother Nan said to Luo Yan, who was very aggrieved: "What is good about sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, it is not as good as the love of the husband."

"If you don't have enough, I'll reluctantly share some love with you, and you will be better off than those who sink into the fish and fall into the geese, and close the moon and shy flowers."

Originally, Luo Yan was still a little unhappy, but when the Empress Dowager Nan said this, she immediately felt that the dark clouds had receded, and the sky was clear and she nodded again and again, "Queen Mother, I feel that I am really a lucky sand now."

The Empress Dowager Nan also nodded, thinking half funny and half emotional in her heart: This little fool is quite easy to coax, no wonder Ying Qihui is tired of this and can't put it down. If you are wise and foolish, you are content and happy, how can life be so complicated

The Jinghe Hall was full of joy, and Ying Qi was already on the way up the mountain, unlike the wedding a few years ago, this time he wanted to fill up all the regrets left by the wedding, this time he picked up his bride and went home
