Chapter 108: Tribute to the Holy Maiden and Relatives
"Xi'er, I'm so scared."
Xiao Sujin hugged Ling Yuexi tightly like a child, her voice choked, tears wetting Ling Yuexi's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er didn't come back well!"
Ling Yuexi smiled and comforted Xiao Sujin.
This high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable left tears for her Ling Yuexi, didn't she love it to the bones. Thinking of the bits and pieces since he first entered the palace, Xiao Sujin's dependence, care, support, and relieved the heart-wrenching pain of Gu with his body. Ling Yuexi's eyes were also moist.
raised his head from Xiao Sujin's arms, looked at him, and wiped his tears for him.
Xiao Sujin held Ling Yuexi's hands, pressed them against her chest, and said faintly: "Xi'er, I understand, you don't like this palace, but why not. It's just that as an emperor, I have a responsibility to all the people, and I must take up the burden of a strong country, and with you, I will feel that I am still a normal man. Xi'er, that night, I felt that the world realm had collapsed, and there was nothing to make my heart beat anymore. I will not jump off the cliff to be martyred, because I can't let go of the people of the Celestial Empire. But my heart, my soul, will go with you. Just a walking corpse. Xi'er, will you blame me? ”
"Why didn't the emperor jump off the cliff and die for his love?" Ling Yuexi's eyes flowed, with a hint of naughtiness of a girl.
"With the world in his heart and the people's livelihood and suffering, he is a good emperor and a good husband in Xi'er's heart. If you are really selfish and jump off the cliff, Xi'er will definitely not be happy! ”
"Xi'er!
Xiao Sujin called emotionally, held Ling Yuexi's face, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Such a reasonable woman, who attaches importance to the country's social welfare, and does not take the love of children and daughters, is not heartwarming.
Where did Xiao Sujin know that Ling Yuexi's righteous and awe-inspiring words originated from the subconscious of An Youran's soul in his previous life. At that time, in the army, the idea of 'protecting the family and defending the country's peace, cracking down on criminals, and sacrificing a small family for everyone' was deeply rooted.
There was a banquet in the evening, Xiao Sujin hugged Ling Yuexi and lay on the soft floor, let her pilllow her legs, gently comb Kurosawa's long hair, and quietly listen to Ling Yuexi tell about this experience.
She only talked about the development of things, but did not say in detail, such as the secret between her brother and sister at that time with Lan Qi; For example, taking care of Xiao Mojue all the way.
Xiao Sujin listened, with a doting smile on her face all the time, but the undercurrent in her eyes was turbulent.
Feng Zhuo had already told himself that Xi Er was taking care of the injured Xiao Mojue on the way, and he was in the same car all the way, and the two were alone in the same room when they spent the night in Yunhe Mountain.
But her Xi'er didn't mention any of this.
"Xi'er, this time the royal father has made a lot of contributions, and tomorrow, I will go to the regent palace with you to visit, and then make a reward!"
"Hmm."
Ling Yuexi answered, stopped talking, closed her eyes, and forced herself to rest for a while, so as not to be listless during the dinner.
The kingdom of Moro must be hated to the core.
In the evening, from the Yuehua Gate of Kunning Palace to the Wenhua Palace, the scarlet rich peony carpet was laid out, the palace maids bowed their heads slightly, stood in two rows, five steps and one person, palm lanterns, along the way, the flowers were beautiful in the faint candlelight, such as in the fairyland.
There are several night pearls hanging under the plaque of Wenhua Palace, bright as day, the wall behind the main seat in front of the hall is the totem of the dragon for nine days, the rare blue night pearl hangs in the totem, just like the dragon pill.
Xiao Sujin clasped Ling Yuexi's hand and sat upright in the light blue halo.
Both of them are golden dragon robes and phoenix suits bordered by red, one is handsome, starry eyes and sword eyebrows; A delicate and charming, elegant and dusty, suspected of being a person from the Heavenly Palace.
The envoy of the Moro Kingdom walked all the way, and he was amazed and had to be in awe, such a magnificent Heavenly Empire, how could he be eroded by a small Moro country.
The envoy of the Moro Kingdom was the younger brother of the new emperor, Yekodo, with an unknown minister, more than a dozen retinues, and a graceful woman with a veil covering her face, and knelt down to greet them one by one.
After the ceremony, Yekodo personally offered the tribute and the compensation for the land cession. When Ampey finished reading the list of tributes, everyone heard the word 'holy woman' and looked at the red-gauze woman.
Yerondo put her left hand on her chest, leaned over and said: "Every two years, the Moro Kingdom selects pure women who grow up drinking holy water, and personally approves them as 'holy women', and is in charge of national sacrifices, which means that the country and the people are safe." In order to show the sincerity of my Moro, I will send the holy plum makeup to the Celestial Empire and relatives, and may the two countries be reconciled forever! ”
Mei – Makeup ——!
'I will curse you with my soul that you will never leave your body!' Haha You don't have to die well! ’
There seemed to be a basin of cold water poured from the top of her head, and Ling Yuexi was stunned. Her thoughts flew far, far away, that moonlit night was high and windy.
Since it is the 'holy woman' who represents the reconciliation between the two countries, if Xiao Sujin does not accept it, he will embarrass the Moro country, and Chrysostom said: "The king of the Moro country is so sincere, I am very gracious. 'Saint' and 'God of War' are a match made in heaven. The regent is worried about the country, and there is no princess ......"
"Your Majesty!"
Mei Ying bowed, took a few steps forward, and interrupted Xiao Sujin's words.
"Since the founding of the Moro Kingdom for a hundred years, it has always been a 'holy woman' with the king, if Mei Xiang and the regent, in the hearts of the people of the Moro country, the regent is their god, in this way, wouldn't it trap the regent in injustice!"
The sound of plum makeup is as crisp as a bell, and with a hint of sweetness, which makes everyone feel swaying.
At this time, the prince of Moro and all his messengers knelt down on one knee and prayed: "Your Majesty, what the Holy Maiden said is very true, if the Holy Maiden marries the Regent, it will be a great disgrace to my Moro kingdom!" ”
Xiao Sujin hated someone to threaten her the most, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said loudly: "The regent is my royal father, how can he marry?" ”
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly cracked.
Everyone in the main hall seemed to be able to feel a cold aura.
Ling Yuexi's eyes have been locked on Mei Makeup, her every movement, every word, but it doesn't look like Mei Makeup.
Perhaps, it was a coincidence.
comforted himself like this, and suddenly felt a few eyes swept towards him.
It is several ministers of the DPRK and China.
sneered in his heart, what's the matter, they want to persuade the emperor by themselves? How can a wife in the world persuade her husband to marry again? What's more, Xiao Sujin promised herself that no matter what, she would not accept a concubine again. Could it be that the Celestial Empire is still afraid of the threat of a defeated country! Then he retracted his gaze, his expression was indifferent, and he looked out of the way.
Liang Qiru shook his head slowly, got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has heard a little, in the Moro Kingdom, the position of the 'Holy Maiden' is higher than that of the princess of the current dynasty, and she is extremely noble, especially worshiped by the people. Yu Regent, it is indeed a marriage! Moreover, the emperor is pro-government, and he should open branches and fill the harem! ”
