Chapter Eighty-Nine: Yingfeng Palace

At night, Han Wangkang set up a banquet in the Xinzheng Palace to entertain Zhao Xiang, Zhao Bao, Da Sima Feiyi and Sima Wang, the envoy of the family. During the banquet, Han Wangkang toasted frequently, and the scene was happy. Suddenly, a waiter whispered a few words in Han Kang's ear. Han Kang's face instantly stiffened, but in order not to let the guests see the abnormality, Han Kang quickly maintained a pleasant face and said to the people of Zhao Kingdom: "The widow has something important and needs to be dealt with. Ladies and gentlemen, I will be the first to accompany you. ”

Although the people of Zhao Kingdom didn't understand what was happening, Han Kang's expression had already told them. This matter must have something to do with marriage.

Han Kang left the main hall and hurried to the Chaoyang Palace, asking at the same time, "What happened to the Chaoyang Palace." ”

The waiter said, "Back to the king, princess... Princess..."

Han Kang glared at him and said hurriedly, "What's wrong with the princess!" ”

The waiter bowed his head and said, "The princess is gone." ”

"What." Han Kang exclaimed, "The princess is gone." ”

Han Kang and the others had not yet stepped into the Chaoyang Palace, and a scolding voice came from the hall: "Bastard, the princess is gone, why don't you report it earlier." ”

Everyone in Chaoyang Hall said tremblingly: "The prince forgives his sins, and we only found out today." ”

"Bastard, bastard." Han Cang pointed at everyone and scolded: "I let you take a good look at the princess, the princess left the Chaoyang Palace, you don't know." What use do I want from you? ”

"Please condemn the prince." The Chaoyang Hall was filled with the sound of begging for mercy.

Suddenly, one of the attendants shouted, "The king has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Han Cang turned around, greeted him, knelt down and said, "Son, meet my father." ”

Han Kang glanced at the people in the hall, raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

Han Cang arched his hand and said, "Father Xie." ”

"Thank you, the king." The people made a mistake and did not dare to get up.

Han Kang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Han Cang said: "When the child saw Zhao Guo's welcoming team enter the city, he came to Chaoyang Hall to see Ji Yao's sister. When the child arrived at the Chaoyang Temple, he saw that everyone was terrified. The child asked about the situation, only to learn that Ji Yao's sister was not in the palace. ”

"Yao'er is not in the temple, where will she go."

"Son, I don't know."

"Yao'er, will it be where your mother is?"

"The child went to the queen mother to ask for peace, and I didn't find Sister Ji Yao."

Han Kang said with a calm expression: "Ji Yao is not where your mother is. ”

"Father, this is also what the child is worried about."

Han Kang saw everyone in Chaoyang Palace, still kneeling on the ground, trembling like chaff, pointing to the consul's palace people and asking, "Except for the princess, there is no one in the palace in Chaoyang Palace." ”

"Your Majesty, there are three maidservants."

"Get up!" Han Kang knows his daughter's personality, and he is not embarrassed by these subordinates.

The crowd bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Han Kang waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat. Han Kang, holding his forehead, said with a headache, "Yao'er, is it too worry-free for the widow?" ”

Han Cang said worriedly: "Father, will Sister Ji Yao go out of the palace to play." ”

Han Kang sighed, his eyes helpless, "Play? Zhao Guoying's team has already come, and Yao'er is still thinking about playing. Alas, Yao'er, she is too ignorant. ”

"The father is angry, and he blames the child for not being able to take a good look at his sister."

"What Yao'er wants to do, no one can stop it. Including you, who is an older brother. Han Kang asked, "Cang'er, did you send someone out of the palace to find it?" ”

"The child has sent several waves of people out to look for it." Han Cang's eyes were very lost, "No one who came back found any trace of my sister." ”

"I didn't find Yao'er, continue to send someone out to find it!" Han Kang was not calm anymore, "Send more people to search for them door to door." Zhao Guo's welcoming team is all in the city. Tomorrow afternoon, Yao'er has not been found, so what should I do? ”

Han Cang thought for a while, and arched his hand and said, "Father, the child feels that he can't look for his sister in a big way, so as not to alarm everyone in Zhao Kingdom. ”

Han Kang thought about it and felt that this was the reason. At present, Zhao Guo's welcoming team is already in the city, if it is a big fanfare, go to find Yao'er. Didn't you tell Zhao Guo that her daughter was not in the palace, "Cang'er, what do you say?" ”

Han Cang knelt down and said, "Father, the child has a plan." ”

"When is it, don't tell me soon."

"Father, let's say that the queen mother is not well. When Sister Ji Yao heard the news, she would definitely return to the palace. ”

Han Kang also thought it was a good idea, and set out to let Han Cang do it immediately. Han Kang wanted not to make Zhao Guoyi suspicious. A news of the blockade of Zhaoyang Hall created a good atmosphere when the princess got married. Second, he secretly sent people out of the palace to continue to look for news of Han Jiyao, and then led everyone back to Zhaoying Hall and continued to drink with everyone in Zhao Kingdom.

The news that the Korean princess sneaked out of the palace also reached the ears of the queen Han. When Empress Han heard this, she was not panicked at all, her expression was extremely relaxed, and she said indifferently: "You don't have to panic!" Yao'er is happy when she goes out to play, so she will naturally come back. ”

Everyone looked suspicious, how could the princess come back if she ran away from marriage.

When Han Jiyao went out of the palace to play, she was deeply attracted by the things outside the palace. When Zhao Guo's huge welcoming team entered Xinzheng, and the city was full of people, Han Jiyao knew that he should face his mission as Wang Ji. The palace maid Xiaorou asked, "Gong... Son, what are we going to do. ”

Han Jiyao, holding her forehead, said bitterly: "You ask me, I ask who to go." ”

Xiao Rou said in a low voice: "Princess, Zhao Guo is a bitter cold land. You really have to marry far away to Zhao State. ”

Han Jiyao said helplessly: "My father, my mother, and my brother want me to marry Zhao Guo, what else can I do." ”

At this time, a voice came from not far away: "Zhao Guo's welcoming team is really huge!" ”

Another person responded: "That is, I have never seen such a large welcoming team in my life." ”

"Zhao Guoying is married to my country's Wang Ji, the king's most beloved daughter. The country of Zhao is located in the bitter cold, but it is not a shabby country either. Let's talk about Zhao Bar! The vassal states are world-famous. The pomp of marrying Wang Ji is, of course, a sensation among the princes and countries. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Zhao wine is also my favorite. When I'm fine, I'll always hide from the yellow-faced woman and come out to drink a few bottles. ”

"That's right, that's right. I'm good for this too. ”

Xiao Rou asked, "Do you think Zhao Guojun is worthy of our Wang Ji?" ”

"King Zhao is eighteen, Wang Ji is seventeen, the age is just right, it is a match made in heaven. The marriage of Han and Zhao! We are all happy. No, thanks to the marriage of the two countries, we can drink such a delicious and reasonably priced Zhao wine. ”

"I heard! King Zhao is young and a young hero. As soon as the Marquis of Zhao Su went, Wei united with the princes in an attempt to destroy Zhao. If it were an ordinary person, he would have sent his property and ceded land to seek peace. Thinking back to the time when the king of Chu succeeded to the throne, the Wei State sent troops to attack and captured the Jingshan of the Chu people. The territory of Chu is the widest, and it is one million generations, and it still doesn't even bounce a fart. When Qi Wang Tian succeeded to the throne, he also suffered from the Wei State. King Qin succeeded to the throne and also married a Wei woman to improve relations with Wei. However, Zhao Junnai is just a son, not only is he not afraid of the Five Kingdoms, but he dares to compete with them. This courage and courage are rarely matched by anyone in the vassal states. ”

"King Zhao is not afraid of the Five Kingdoms and competes with them, and I also have a share of the credit of South Korea. Therefore, ah! The two countries have been friendly for generations, supported each other, and never lost each other. Wang Ji married to Zhao State, which is really a good marriage. ”

Xiao Rou said angrily: "These are the things that men should do. For the sake of peace between the two countries, is it too ruthless to let Wang Jiyuan marry Zhao Guo. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. They only saw the friendship between Han and Zhao for generations, but ignored Wang Ji's feelings.

Han Jiyao coughed, couldn't sit still, and asked, "I want to ask you, if you were to marry a woman you had never met, would you be willing?" ”

"If a woman marries us, of course we will."

"This woman is beautiful, she is ugly, she is tall, she is short. None of you know what the character is. Will you marry her? ”

"Women are beautiful, I naturally want to. But..."

Han Jiyao further said: "For the sake of the friendship between Han and Zhao for generations, sacrificing Wang Ji's personal happiness, do you think this is too cruel." ”

Someone felt that what he said made sense, and nodded in agreement, "Well, it's a bit cruel." ”

Han Jiyao raised her arms and shouted, "As men, you should protect Wang Ji." However, you combined Wang Ji and Zhao Jun to pass on the throne. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think you should marry Wang Jiyuan to Zhao Guo. ”

Before the crowd could speak, one shouted, "Nonsense, nonsense." ”

I saw several armor soldiers rushing in, and then an eight-foot man also walked in. Xiao Rou saw that the person who came was the prince, and immediately knelt down to greet him: "His Royal Highness the prince." ”

When everyone saw that it was His Royal Highness the Prince, they also knelt down and bowed. When Han Jiyao saw her eldest brother, she suddenly appeared and was stunned, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. Han Cang didn't bother to pay attention to everyone, and walked directly to Han Jiyao and asked, "Have you had enough?" ”

Han Jiyao dodged Han Cang's starry eyes, and said stubbornly: "Not yet." ”

Han Cang sighed deeply, "Let's go!" Go back to the palace for me. ”

Han Jiyao pouted and said, "I don't want it." ”

Han Cang pointed at the many armor soldiers, and said in a somewhat threatening tone: "Now, I can't help you." ”

Han Jiyao looked left and right, and the way out was blocked by the armor, and she gave up struggling in her heart, but she was unconvinced: "You can control my people, but you can't control my heart." ”

Han Cang approached her, his face did not soften at all, "It's enough to control you." ”

"Are you willing to follow me back, or do you want me to be rude, please go back."

Han Jiyao shouted, "I'm not going back." ”

"Someone." Han Cang raised his hand and gave an order, "Please go back." ”

"No." Two armor soldiers stepped forward and bowed.

When Han Jiyao saw that Han Cang was really coming, tears rolled in her anxious eyes. Han Cang was also afraid that Han Jiyao would use tears as a weapon, so he said softly: "After you left, my mother was sad for a few days. Mother is sick, and you don't plan to go back and visit her. ”

Han Jiyao heard that her mother was sick, but because of her, she walked out quickly. Xiao Rou faced the prince, bowed slightly, and chased after him. Han Cang walked out of the door and sighed silently, "Keep up." ”

Han Jiyao didn't wait for anyone to report, so she rushed into the queen mother's bedroom. When she looked at the queen mother sitting upright as if waiting for her, no matter how Han Jiyao looked, she didn't feel that the queen mother had any signs of illness. In an instant, she understood that Han Cang had deceived her. When Empress Han saw her daughter stumbling into the dormitory, she was not angry, and beckoned to her, "I haven't seen her for a while, Yao'er is beautiful again." ”

Han Jiyao didn't have time to escape, so she stepped forward and hugged the queen mother's thigh, and said coquettishly: "Queen mother, Yao'er left the palace without permission, you won't blame me!" ”

Empress Han stroked the scattered hair on her daughter's forehead, "Before you got married, the queen mother allowed you to mess around." After messing around, you have to go back to a palace like this and do what a princess should do. ”

Han Jiyao pursed her mouth, "Yao'er remembers the words of the queen mother. ”

Empress Han smiled: "Yao'er, it's time for you to fulfill Wang Ji's responsibilities and missions." You're going to get married tomorrow, so I'll talk more with my mother tonight, okay? ”

Han Jiyao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

An old palace maid stepped forward and saluted, "The queen is talking to Wang Ji inside, prince, won't you go in?" ”

Han Cang said, "I won't go in." Let the queen mother and Sister Ji Yao talk more! ”

After Sima Wang's envoy to South Korea to welcome his relatives, Zhao Yong's whole person was much quieter. Tu Yi and the others saw it in their eyes, and they felt more and more that the king had the demeanor of an ancestor. On this day, Dong Yuyue came to Congtai Palace and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the new palace has been built." ”

Zhao Yong put down the things in his hand and looked at Dong Yuyue, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Zhao Yong looked at the new hall that had just been built, he was very satisfied, and rewarded Dong Yuyue heavily. Tu Yi walked around the palace, and the sound of footsteps echoed in every corner of the palace. Tu Yi stopped, always feeling that something was missing here. But he was stupid and didn't know how to express it. Han Zhong saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Tu Duwei, do you think this palace is too deserted, and you feel that something is missing." ”

Tu Duwei nodded, "Da Ling, that's a good point." This palace always makes people feel that something is missing. ”

Dong Yuyue exclaimed: "Two adults, can you tell me what is missing from this palace." ”

"This palace is too deserted."

Dong Yuyue knew the meaning of Han Zhong's words, and said with a smile: "This hall is a little deserted. ”

When Mu Jian heard this, he laughed unabashedly, "This palace is missing a woman, so it seems deserted." ”

Tu Duwei hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's just that it's less feminine, so I feel cold." ”

Dong Yuyue built this palace to welcome the arrival of a heroine. Dong Yuyue saw that the king's expression was too quiet, and stepped forward to ask, "Your Majesty, please give this hall a name." ”

"The widow calls it Yingfeng Palace."
