Section 20 The Story of the Golden Knife and the Horse (2)
"When Lord Jin first arrived in the dense forest, he was a slave in the hands of the slave owner, and because of his literacy and appearance, he was bought by a nobleman in the dense forest to curry favor with the eunuch chief of the palace of the jungle. ”
"Eunuch, what does a eunuch want a man-" Yao Jin's eyes widened, and the sentence he was about to say "Can a eunuch also be gay" came to his mouth and swallowed hard, "Could it be that there is anyone in the Jungle Palace who prefers male pets?"
"Your Highness expected it to be good, and the King of the Jungle himself seems to have this habit. However, Lord Jin entered the palace of the Jungle King, not only successfully avoiding the King of the Jungle, but also won the favor of the Jungle King's beloved daughter Princess Jungle in one fell swoop. Although this princess of the jungle is mediocre but has a very high vision, she is already old, but she has never found her favorite concubine, but since she met Lord Jin, she has been bent on marrying him, but Lord Jin's identity was only a slave at the time, and she was a sergeant of the Li Dynasty, and she came from the palace of the Li Dynasty. But on the day of the wedding of the two, Princess Jungle was poisoned and died after drinking a glass of wine, and Lord Jin was martyred at that time, and drank the remaining wine in Princess Jungle's cup, but strangely, he did not die after a day of coma. ”
Hearing this, Yao Jin couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, and she looked at Wang Xiang hesitantly: "Could it be that Princess Jungle's death is-"
Wang Xiang shook his head slowly, "Now that the times have changed, the subordinates, as outsiders, look back at this whole thing, and naturally feel that Lord Jin must have planned it from beginning to end." However, in the Jungle Country at that time, Lord Jin had no real power in his hands, how could he poison the glass of wine in the wedding, how could he ensure that he drank the poisoned wine together without hindrance and could not find the slightest trace, even if the King of the Jungle at that time was so suspicious of Lord Jin, but he could not find any suspicion, and he could only believe that he was innocent. So in the end, although Lord Jin became a concubine, he was still single, and he borrowed wine every day in the palace of the jungle to drown his sorrows and miss the princess, and all his behaviors were in line with the proper behavior of an infatuated man, so that in the end, no one in the palace did not pity him. And the king of the jungle finally gradually dispelled his suspicions, coupled with Lord Jin's courage and resourcefulness and knowledge, he gradually got a place in the jungle army, and later the king of the jungle saw that he was only depressed all day long in addition to official duties, and never participated in the banquet and other activities in the palace, and specially comforted him to want to open some, this time let him come to get the totem stele, but also intended to let him take this trip back to his homeland to relax. ”
Yao Jin was silent for a moment, and finally said "hehe", and said slowly: "What a bitter drama, it's really good to sing and read, but I didn't see that he still has talent in this area before!"
At this time, the prime minister beckoned the maid in the distance to come forward and put a tulle cloak on Yao Jin, and then knelt down and said: "No one else in the Xiaonan Kingdom knows about this matter, and everything depends on the decision of His Highness." However, it is a fact that the vassals acted in private, and I ask His Highness to punish him. ”
Yao Jin stretched out a plain white hand and patted him on the shoulder, and advised: "I will inform Zhao Yu about this matter, but no one in the country will know about it, and no one in the country will be allowed to investigate the matter of Jin Liancheng, the descendants of the Jinsha clan, and the totem stone tablet." ”
"Yes. ”
"The matter of the road to the north of the jungle is also suspended, and after a while, I will try to solve it. ”
"Yes. ”
"Also, in the future, all the situations related to Jin Liancheng will be told to me as soon as possible, don't act without permission. ”
"Yes. ”
The wind blew cool in the evening, and it was not cold, but Yao Jin felt a little inexplicably depressed in his heart, it turned out that governing a country, even if it was a small feudal country like Xiaonanguo, was also cumbersome, and none of them could be slackened. Her gaze lingered from the lake to the sky, the last trace of the sunset was gradually fading, her voice was very soft, with a hint of confusion and innocence: "Wang Xiang, what do you think is the most important thing in your life?"
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Yao Jin, she was so thin, when the cloak danced in the wind, it seemed that people would fly with it, her lips were very light, but her eyes were bright, a strange brilliance, like a very small bunch of fireworks in Wang Xiang's heart, ignited and extinguished. He was silent and did not speak until the wind blew Yao Jin's cloak and blew over his face, his hands, and his knees, and Wang Xiang said in a hoarse voice: "In this life, the most important thing is to follow His Highness, live and live, live and live, and never leave." ”
On the second day, Wang Xiang was fined for half a year for his ineffective work, and he was punished for thinking about it at home, and he was not allowed to go out without an order. Zhao Sheng persuaded for a long time before persuading Lu Tao, who was holding her stomach, to return home from the gate of the courtyard, and Zhao Yu rushed to see Yao Jin in confusion, she was practicing calligraphy in the study calmly.
"Your Highness. ”
"You're here," Yao Jin put down his pen, "how is the situation on the Jinsha River today?"
"There is still no trace of the totem stele. Zhao Yu shook his head, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I just met Brother Sheng at the door, and he said Mr. Xiang-"
"It's because of Jin Liancheng. Yao Jin didn't intend to hide Zhao Yu, he explained the cause and effect simply and clearly, looked at Zhao Yu's chin that was about to fall to the ground, and smiled: "Do you also think it's incredible?"
“...... In the past, I only thought that after coming to the ancient times, you were the most difficult among the encounters of several of us, but I didn't expect Chen Cheng to ...... too."
"Lao Zhao, there is no such person as Chen Cheng in this world now, there is only Jin Liancheng. Yao Jin shook his head, "This matter is the end between you and me today, and no one can know about it." ”
"Yes. Your Highness is worried, is it Miss Lin?"
Yao Jin lowered his eyebrows and looked at the sentence he had just copied "The black clouds turned over the ink and did not cover the mountains, and the white rain jumped into the boat", and said softly: "I hope that the past is just the past, everything is just a storm, and tomorrow will be like this poem, and the water under the lake is like the sky......
"Your Highness...... I rarely saw you copying these poems in the past, but how can I think of practicing calligraphy today?"
"It's moon white. She said that I am a lord of the country, my calligraphy is not good, and I can't understand poetry and books, I really can't say it, so I have excerpted some for me to copy every day, one to deepen my impression, and the other is to practice calligraphy. Yao Jin picked up a page next to him and praised it: "Look at the words of Yuebai, dignified and beautiful, just like people, you can't find a flaw." ”
Zhao Yu took it and looked at it, nodded and said: "There is no shortage of famous ladies in the nine cities and rivers who are good at calligraphy, but compared with Miss Lin, they must be ashamed of themselves." ”
Yao Jin said proudly: "Even if you don't read words, just by your appearance and posture, our Yuebai is beyond the reach of these charming boudoir ladies." As soon as the words fell, she suddenly became a little gloomy, "It's just that she is only focused on Jin Liancheng......"
"I heard that Lord Jin attaches great importance to Miss Lin, and even the soldiers in the dense forest under him know that if this Miss Lin eats an extra bite of food today, then their adults will be able to laugh for a day. ”
"How can you be unlucky? Can you still cut off your head!" Yao Jin said casually, but saw Zhao Yu nodding silently, so he exclaimed: "What?
"I heard from the people of the jungle that if the people who served them were not thorough, they would be executed, and Miss Lin was never allowed to know half of them. Rao is these jungle people all seem to be tough, but they are all very respectful to Jin Liancheng, or very afraid, although there is a relationship between the master and his subordinates, but I think that Lord Jin can get to this position today among the fierce and wild jungle people, and he will definitely not be a kind-hearted person. Zhao Yu's tone was a little hesitant, "Does His Highness really plan to keep him in Xiaonanguo all the time?"
