Chapter Seventy-Five: Queen of Chu
In the dimly lit palace of the King of Chu, the dew drops from the beams of the house dripped and drew a graceful arc, and the waterhole below caused a ripple.
In the deep palace, the smoke was misty, and the steaming white gas revealed a bewildering scene in the flickering candlelight, and dozens of palace maids surrounded an old man, his brows furrowed deeply, and the tightly knit brows and fine wrinkles on his face revealed his dryness.
He struggled to his body, and stood up with the support of the palace maid, wearing a dark royal robe, and the dark brown bottom swayed under his movements.
"The prince of Qi is here, no, it's the prince who is here." When he finished speaking, he gasped, his chin pressed against his finely groomed beard.
A temple man next to him bowed cautiously, walked to his side step by step, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, yes, Yingdu entered today." ”
The dim and yellow eyes of the King of Chu raised his head slightly, and a devouring dangerous aura also burst out from his body, pushing the temple man to the ground fiercely, fine sweat flowed down his forehead, no, it didn't stay, the ditches blocked the flow of sweat.
"The widow knows that the place where the widow is now is Chen Ying, it turned out to be a dilapidated city, and the widow doesn't need you to remind him."
The temple man fell to his knees on the ground, and his trembling body showed that he was worried and frightened at the moment, but he did not beg for mercy, but kowtowed again and again.
King Chu's eyes softened, and he said softly: "Get up!" The widow has been following the widow since you were in Yingdu, and you are considered old, so I will let you go today. ”
The temple man did not get up, and crawled outside the palace gate with his arms, he knew the every move of this Chu king's living habits, he liked to indulge in the glory of the Chu country in the past, but he did not want to be intoxicated all the time.
Like an alcoholic or a gambler, when they get drunk or lose completely, they will repent of their actions when they are sober, but as soon as they are contaminated with alcohol and poker tables, their true nature will be revealed.
Today is the day when the king of Chu is sober, he didn't calculate it accurately, and he didn't see it accurately, so he deserved it, servant, you have to know the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the master, and get information from the change of his eyebrows. It's a pity that he is not a master of Xiangren!
"Chu State, Qi State, it's all a joke!" The laughter of the king of Chu was clear in this empty and silent environment.
After laughing, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wisp of arc, he remembered the Chu State when he was Huai Wang, not like now, the Qi State when King Qi Min was also a powerful neighbor, the current Chu State, and the previous Qi State was very similar.
"By the way, how many princesses are there?" The king of Chu asked the palace maid standing next to him.
"The king, there are twenty-eight princesses, including two queens, one from Mrs. Wei, two each from Han and Yan, and the rest are born to some concubines." Gong Wan replied cautiously.
"How many princesses are there to be married, and how many princesses are there who have never been married?" King Chu asked again.
The palace maid raised her eyes and glanced at the king of Chu, and said boldly: "The queen's two princesses, among them, Princess Shu is about fourteen years old and has never had a marriage contract, and the queen is very satisfied with the marriage of Qi Kingdom. ”
As soon as the words fell, the king of Chu frowned and looked at the palace maid carefully, so frightened that the palace maid hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to be born.
The king of Chu paced back and forth for a few steps, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Shu'er, if she is promised to the prince of Qi, it can be regarded as a good match, after all, the nobility of the world is none other than the nobility of the princes, and the nobility of the prince lies in the mountains and rivers, the subsidence of the land, and the people. ”
"Thank you for your understanding of Shu'er's marriage."
From the entrance of the hall, a middle-aged beautiful woman, about forty years old, accompanied by dozens of palace people.
"Queen, you're here." King Chu had a look of surprise on his face
"King Xiang has intentions, but the goddess has no intentions."
This queen is not the princess of the Six Kingdoms, but the stunning woman he found in Chu State, with a smile and a smile, she has the color of the country, even if the years are not forgiving, she has not left the slightest time on this "goddess", but is more mature and charming.
Looking at the queen's white and tender complexion, the king of Chu secretly said that it was a pity, his own body had deteriorated over the years, and he had long been inhumane.
"I've seen the king." The queen bowed slightly.
The king of Chu hummed inadvertently, pretending not to see the thin white neck and the looming demeanor.
"Why did the queen come?" The king of Chu glanced at the queen.
The queen laughed coquettishly, her white fingertips covered her delicate red lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the slave family has met the king." ”
After speaking, he sighed faintly, with pity in his eyes, which made people can't help but comfort, and said in a lamented voice: "The king hasn't come to Zhanghuatai to see the slave family for a long time, is it that the slave family has made the king angry." There were tears in the corners of his eyes.
The king of Chu glanced at the queen, walked up to the queen, hugged the queen, patted her smooth back in a low voice, and said softly: "The widow is not worried about state affairs, he can't be busy, it's good to have Shu'er and Ya'er with you." ”
The queen tightly held the thin and old five fingers of the king of Chu with her hand, and said softly: "I heard that the prince of Qi has arrived in Chen Ying, and the slave family has met each other, I don't know if the king can agree." ”
The king of Chu was held by this gentle hand, and his heart was itchy, and he wanted to immediately correct this fox on the spot, but he was lamented that he had more than enough strength and was not enough, so he had to persuade: "The widow knows, I will let you meet him tomorrow, what is there to look good about a foreign prince." ”
The queen laughed and said slowly: "The king is jealous, I remember that the king was also wise and handsome when he was young, how did he eat the vinegar of young people." ”
The King of Chu snorted coldly and said: "The widow will have this idea, and you will only think like this if you are a woman." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the slave knows." After speaking, he let his Gao Ting lean on the King of Chu.
King Chu felt this soft touch, and his throat was dry for a while, but he still pushed the queen away and said coldly: "The widow still has state affairs to deal with, the queen, you can go first!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen glanced at the king of Chu sadly, twisted her waist, and walked out of the palace gate.
The king of Chu took a deep sniff of the fragrant wind left by the queen, looked at the palace maid next to him, and said, "Today you sleep for the widow." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid couldn't stop trembling, and her heart was full of horror, but she knew what inhuman treatment those palace people who were sleeping with.
