Chapter 56: Reunited after a long absence, who is still in love?
The temple of poetry is lit with locusts, and the night is lit up like day. The dinner is about to begin.
Ling Er quietly entered the hall and whispered the words in Fu Chip's ear After Fu Chip listened, his eyes swept over the empty position next to the emperor, and his gentle eyes flashed a trace of clarity, and it was fleeting. After Ling'er finished reporting, she quietly retreated.
Emperor Lin was in the main position, wearing a dragon robe and majestic, he looked at the few seats that were still vacant around him, he frowned, and said unhappily: "What time is it?" Why hasn't anyone arrived? Didn't Worry-free and Lao Jiu go up the mountain a long time ago? What about people?
Gonggong Chen hurriedly responded: "Back to Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock in the morning, the prince and His Royal Highness the Ninth are probably entangled in official business, and they forgot the hour when they were dealing with official business in a secluded garden, so the slave will take someone to find it."
This is an excellent statement, but everyone from the emperor to the hundred officials, and even the palace eunuchs, everyone knows that this is just a lie to save the emperor's face in front of his prince.
Emperor Lin nodded with a smile on his face, but he was depressed and worried, and after Duke Chen led the people to leave in a hurry, he glanced at the seat next to him, and asked the palace maid on the side in a low voice: "Where did Concubine Lian go?" ”
The palace maid replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Niangniang heard that the white lotus in Fuliuyuan is blooming well, and she wants to pick one in person to match the South China Sea pearl rewarded by Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Lin asked how long it had been",
The palace maid whispered back: "I have been there for half an hour." ”
Go and find it. Before Emperor Lin's words fell, the palace maid didn't have time to respond, only to hear a crying voice outside the hall: Your Majesty......
With the sound, a red figure ran into the main hall and rushed towards the arms of Emperor Lin, regardless of the occasion or who was present.
The civil and military officials who sat in several rows looked at each other, and such a rude banquet to entertain his prince made them feel that they had lost face, and they didn't realize that they lowered their heads and sighed secretly that after all, they just looked similar! If it was Yun Guifei in the past, she would never be so rude. ”
Emperor Lin glanced at Ning Ganyi, the prince of the Dust Wind who was generously sitting on the VIP seat, and saw him smiling and drinking tea, while the middle-aged man next to him and the entourage behind him all looked disapproving, as if to say that the concubines of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Lintian were nothing more than that. When Emperor Lin looked at Concubine Lian again, his face couldn't help but sink.
Concubine Lian saw that Emperor Lin didn't help her up with nervousness and love like every time before! After pretending to cry for a while, she quietly raised her eyes to peek at this emperor, and was surprised to see that this emperor, who was usually gentle and spoiled by her, was sinking like water at the moment, looking at her coldly. She remembered that His Majesty had told her last night that there was a prince of the Dust Wind at the table tonight, and told her to pay attention to her appearance and not to lose the face of the country.
Concubine Lian was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down and took two steps back, and bowed: "The concubine should die, the concubine has lost her honor, please forgive your majesty." ”
Emperor Lin felt a faint ache in the soft corner of his heart when he looked at the pure face that was somewhat similar to the depths of his memory. He sighed and reached out to help her up.
Even the concubine didn't understand etiquette at all, she was just used to being arrogant, after she got up, she turned around and bowed to Ning Qianyi, "This palace is rude, let the prince laugh!" ”
Ning Ganyi was dressed in a purple robe, with a Mo Ya crown on his top, sitting upright but not looking muddy, and his gestures had the unique luxury and domineering of the royal family. He got up and saluted back, and said with a hearty smile, "Niangniang is beautiful and beautiful, and it is natural to have the grace of Your Majesty."
Fu Chip, who was sitting in the seat of the first-class master, lifted his eyelids quietly, glanced at Concubine Lian and Emperor Lin, and the corners of his mouth almost invisibly raised a faint arc of ridicule, and then picked up the teacup in front of him, and the rim of the cup was on his lips, along with a deep disgust and resentment hidden in his lips.
Concubine Lian sat down beside Emperor Lin, her phoenix eyes were shining with water, her face was very sad, and her expression was extremely aggrieved. Emperor Lin's heart softened, and he asked: Why is the concubine sad to talk to me. ”
Concubine Lian took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes without a single tear, and sobbed softly: "The South China Sea pearl that Your Majesty rewarded to the concubine yesterday was torn off."
Emperor Lin smiled dotingly: What should I do, just a precious chain, since the concubine likes it, I will order someone to find one for you.
Concubine Lian said: "The concubine was almost knocked down by her!" Moreover, it is not just a chain that the concubine is sad about, but His Majesty's heart for the concubine, how can it be broken casually? Your Majesty
Concubine Lian pulled the sleeve of Emperor Lin's coat, raised her little face, and her half-withdrawn appearance accompanied by Chu Chu Kecha's expression made Emperor Lin's heart tremble, such an expression, how much he once wished he could see it from another beautiful face, "Even once!" He patted her hand and whispered coaxing: Okay, good, what do you want to do with the concubine, I depend on you. ”
Concubine Lian's eyes were shining, and her expression was still aggrieved, "The concubine didn't think about anything, the concubine just wanted to punish the person who broke the pearl chain." But the man was brought up the mountain by the ministers of the court, so the concubines felt that they should still be a little merciful, so they only punished them to pick up the pearls scattered on the ground, "Your Majesty, you said that the concubines were not punished severely. ”
Emperor Lin smiled and said, "When did you know how to show mercy?" ”
Concubine Lian pouted, is Your Majesty saying that the concubines are usually arrogant and willful? ”
Emperor Lin was amused by her, and laughed at you! ”
With a straight face, Emperor Lin turned his head to Ning Ganyi on the VIP seat and smiled, gentle and without losing the majesty of the emperor, I heard that the prince has traveled around the world this year, in order to find beautiful companions, and I am like a cloud of beauties, it just so happens that today is the day when the seven emperors of the United Kingdom choose a concubine, and the best women in this dynasty are in this palace, if they can get the prince's favor, it will be their blessing. A year ago, China and Qiyun formed a friendly friendship, and if we conclude a century-old alliance with your country, it will be a matter for our two countries. ”
The ministers nodded one after another, and the hall echoed the voice. Although the Dust Wind Country is not a big country, however, the Dust Wind Country is known for its cavalry and war horses, if you can reach an agreement with them, with their war horses and the ironclad cavalry of the Lintian Kingdom, then the Lintian Kingdom will be just around the corner.
Ning Ganyi didn't respond immediately, he only smiled brightly, and looked around at the colorful girls around him who were like a hundred flowers competing for beauty but more delicate than flowers, those women were still worried, but at this moment, seeing him so heroic and extraordinary, his heart was full of yearning, so he was shy, and secretly said that if he couldn't let the king choose, it would be a great thing to be favored by this different prince. He is the future king of the Dustwind Country, "Although it can be sad to be away from parents and relatives, the temptation of a mother is far better than the pain of being uprooted."
Ning Ganyi swept it at a glance, and sure enough, it was a beautiful woman, especially a woman in a blue gauze skirt in autumn water, with a delicate face, at first glance, like a peony blooming in spring, and the eyes of the flower watchers were easily attracted from among the flowers. But he only paused.
When the woman in blue saw Ning Qianyi looking over, she was not as shy and timid as the other women, but frowned slightly and lowered her head, as if she was afraid of being taken by him.
Ning Ganyi's smile remained unchanged, and finally stopped at the vacant seat beside Fu Chip, and looked at the seemingly gentle but deep General Weiguo.
It has long been heard that the Kingdom of Heaven is the most ceremonial state, and it must be excellent to treat the allies. It is the wish of the subjects of the King of the Dust Wind Kingdom to form an alliance with your country, but," he paused slightly.
Emperor Lin smiled and said, "The prince has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Ning Qianyi glanced at the vacant seat beside Fu Chip, and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Wang heard that the princess of Qiyun Kingdom was originally going to marry the princess of the divorced king, but after coming to your country, she was rejected for marriage and had to remarry General Fu, I don't know if it's true." ”
Emperor Lin's face condensed, and the alliance naturally paid attention to the integrity of the time side and the attitude towards the allies, and it was reasonable for the prince of Dustwind to have some suspicions. The emperor's eyes were deep, avoiding the important and light, "Since ancient times, there have been many rumors that are not credible, just like the eldest princess Rong Le, it is rumored that this princess has an ugly appearance and temperament?" Barbarism, and in fact, the princess is beautiful and intelligent, knowledgeable and polite. As for the change in the choice of the princess to marry, it was not forced, but the princess and Yuan Aiqing were in love with each other and personally chose Fu Aiqing as her husband, which led to the marriage between the two countries. ”
He turned his gaze to Princess Rongle's seat, but when he saw that her seat was empty, he couldn't help frowning, "Fu Aiqing, why don't you see Princess Rongle?" At this time, she represents not only the wife of a minister, but a sign of friendship between Lintian and Qiyun.
Fu Chip collected the corner of his mouth secretly sneering without a trace, stared at Concubine Lian who was in a panic and disappeared in a flash, and replied unhurriedly: "Back to Your Majesty, the maid just came, and Rong Le her" was punished by Concubine Lian to pick up pearls. Not only did Emperor Lin's face change suddenly, which was extremely ugly, but all the ministers below also looked at Concubine Lian in unison, all sighing.
Not to mention that General Fu is in charge of the three armies and is an important minister of the imperial court, if it is only because of a string of pearls, General Fu's face should not be considered. Besides, the purpose of tonight's banquet has long been clear, Concubine Lian, as the only concubine to attend the dinner, represents the motherly demeanor of a country, and she not only lost her honor first, but also asked a princess who came to be close to her to do what a slave should do at this juncture, which in the eyes of other people, it is a humiliation to the allies! If it spreads, it will not only ruin the friendship with Qiyun Kingdom, but also make people in the world feel that the Yang of the Heavenly Kingdom is against the Yin, who is willing to cooperate with it from now on?
Ning Ganyi frowned, he didn't say anything, but from the expressions of the middle-aged man beside him and the few attendants behind him, he could also see what they were thinking at the moment. The credibility of the Lintian Kingdom in treating the allied princesses in this way is very doubtful, and cooperating with the Lintian Kingdom and providing them with war horses is not sure whether the Lintian Kingdom will do something to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and use their war horses to attack their country in turn.
Time seems to have stood still, and the hot and stuffy air unique to summer seems to be mixed with the cold air of ice like the wax moon.
The entire hall was so quiet that it could be heard.
When the ministers saw the emperor's color change, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Although the ladies did not know the stakes, they also tensed their nerves when they saw that their adults were solemn, for fear that they would be killed if they were not careful
Concubine Lian had never seen Emperor Lin with such an expression, it was a deep disappointment, and it could even be called heartache and despair, and in the end, every point of those emotions was gone, and the affection of the past could no longer be found in the eyes of this high emperor. She was terrified, regretting that she shouldn't have done it so quickly.
Emperor Lin stared at her tightly, his gaze like a blade, as if he wanted to see another person through her.
Yun'er, she's not you after all! Is there any woman in this world who can be as smart, generous and pure as you, who knows how to measure and understand the general situation, and who is favored without being arrogant?
Emperor Lin exhaled a breath of turbidity, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The person who came to the Lian clan has no virtue, and he is slow to treat the envoy with his relatives, and now he has cut off all his titles, and immediately moved into the cold palace, there must be no mistake."
A cold holy decree made Concubine Lian finally realize the seriousness of the matter, her face turned pale, her mouth opened wide in shock, her hands slipped weakly from the emperor's arms, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, forgetting to even beg for mercy. She just couldn't believe that this man, who was still very doted on her at the last moment, could become so ruthless.
It's a pity that she doesn't understand that a stand-in is always just a stand-in.
When Emperor Lin clearly understood that letting this woman be a stand-in for that woman to make up for the shortcomings in his heart was only a blasphemy of the woman in his heart, he could no longer deceive himself, and at this moment, all the favor he had for Concubine Lian in the past made him feel a deeper debt to the woman in his heart. Being relegated to the cold palace is already the lightest punishment. In Fuliuyuan, the moonlight is quiet and soft, and the light breeze blowing in the face carries the faint Hunan air of the lake, which eliminates the hot heat in June.
Manyao stood quietly under the supervision of Concubine Lian's personal palace maid, without a trace of impetuousness. The palace maid waited for them to pick up the precious South China Sea pearls on the ground before they could go to the banquet hall, but after waiting for a long time, the princess who married from Qiyun Country never made any moves, and she didn't let the county lord of Zhaoyun go to tie the pearls, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, but she didn't dare to urge them because she was afraid of their identities.
Zhaoyun's face was a little uneasy, and the fingers in his sleeves were gently twisted together. "Sister Rongle, the dinner is about to start, let's hurry up and get the pearls and go over. Otherwise! If you delay the dinner time, Your Majesty will condemn you. ”
Manyao smiled faintly and reassured: Don't worry, it will be fine. Concubine Lian is narrow-minded,? arrogant, relying on the emperor's favor, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes. She has no intention of making enemies with others, but even if Concubine Lian has to embarrass her, she can't. It's just weird, Concubine Lian can't see the current situation clearly.
Rajah
In the distance, Gonggong Chen led a group of people towards this side, shouting loudly as he walked. Gonggong Chen was slightly stunned when he saw Manyao, and then saluted and said hello, but his eyes looked in the direction of Bihu behind her.
His eyes were slightly slighted, and his heart was shocked, in this banquet, who else could be called the prince and the head of the palace who came to find him? She subconsciously followed Gonggong Chen's eyes and turned back.
Among the boats docked on the shore of the lake, two people walked down unhurriedly, one with his hands folded and his shoulders bent, his face handsome, and his smile always heartless; The other person, with a pure and perfect face like a fairy, had a pair of eyes that were as evil as hell Yama, and those eyes, against the backdrop of such moonlight, seemed even more silent and cold.
This is a real reunion after two days of seclusion in the underground stone chamber. The distance from the gate of the garden where she stood to the shore of the lake was not far, but it was not close. Looking at the familiar face from afar, there was a moment of trance, in this hazy night, a few feet away, but she already realized that this man seemed to be even colder than a year ago.
After Zongzheng got off the boat without worry, he said lazily to Gonggong Chen, he asked you to find it? ”
The Nine Emperors said with a smile: My father must be worried that the Seventh Brother will regret it. He summoned so many ministers to bring their sisters or daughters to the banquet, if the seventh brother suddenly changed his mind, wouldn't his father be busy in vain? I can't explain it to the ministers. ”
Zong Zheng sneered: Isn't there another prince? Since I promised to return to Beijing in a year to choose a concubine, I naturally have to do it. He habitually hooked his lips and only hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling! There is a touch of ridicule and sarcasm. Go first. ”
Gonggong Chen didn't dare to say much, so he took the order and left first.
Manyao's heart was astringent, and his lips were thin and cold. Without the worry-free consent of the Zongzheng, how could Emperor Lin be bored with himself. It's just that Zongzheng is carefree, isn't it impossible to touch women? Could it be that he was entangled that night, and he was even cured of this problem? Then he's really a lot of money.
The cool white moonlight envelops the clear water of a lake, and with the wind falling and the dust ripples in the water, the silhouette of the white lotus reflected in the lake is crushed finely.
Liyue: "The Nine Emperor Princes walked briskly, kicking away the glowing white beads on the ground as they went.
Manyao suppressed his thoughts and responded with a light smile. The Nine Emperor Princes seem to have always lived so freely and comfortably, which makes people envious.
The Nine Emperor Princes approached her, as if a person who had been puzzled for many days was eager to know the answer, lowered his voice and asked, "Liyue, half a month ago, I heard that Brother Qi quickly brought back a box of lychees, did you send it to you?" Thinking of this, he was depressed, and when he heard about it that day, he thought that the seventh brother had brought it back to him on purpose, but who knew that he went happily and searched the entire palace, and he didn't even see a lychee shell. asked Brother Qi, and he ignored him at all.
There was a shock, and my mind was a little trance. I don't remember how long ago, in the garden called Manxiang Pavilion, she once said that among all the fruits, her favorite is lychee, but it is a pity that it is rare to see fresh ones in this world. She also told a story about the emperor and the concubine related to lychee, and the concubine laughed when she rode the red dust, and no one knew that it was lychee.
At that time, who joked: "If one day, I personally guess for you, I don't know, can I get you a smile in exchange for Aman?" ”
Xiang Ying said that the box of lychees was given to him by Gonggong Chen after chasing it out, saying that he had taken it less. And Fu Chip didn't know that Emperor Lin's reward was one of the skills.
She couldn't help but look at the silent and clear man on the shore in surprise, only to see that he looked indifferent and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a deep gaze.
The Nine Emperor Princes suddenly felt a chill in their vests, their necks shrunk, and looking at the expressions of the two of them, they already understood a little bit in their hearts. Hurriedly put on a flattering smile, Seventh Brother, Liyue, I'll go first, you can talk slowly. Zhaoyun, let's go. ”
As he spoke, he went to pull Zhaoyun, Zhaoyun had an injury on his arm, how could he withstand his pinch, he couldn't help but tremble, and exhaled in pain.
The Nine Emperor Princes paused, raised his eyebrows and rolled up Zhaoyun's sleeves, only to see that the delicate skin was covered with bruises and purple miasma, and his complexion changed, what was going on? The kid surnamed Xiao hit it?
Zhaoyun hurriedly took two steps back, lowered his sleeves, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, biting his lip and not making a sound.
The Nine Emperor Princes turned his head to look at Zongzheng Wuwu, Zongzheng Wuwu glanced lightly, his face was unwavering, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see his joy and anger, "You don't have to go back." Lao Jiu, take her to your mansion to live temporarily, and tomorrow someone will write a letter of resignation and send it to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion. Whoever dares to disagree and call him to come to this king. ”
Zhaoyun raised his head in shock, as if he couldn't believe it, looking at the man who had been waiting for him all along. Did she hear it wrong?" Brother Sanssouci wants to help her get rid of the man she hates! The woman Hugh is unheard of, can she do it? It turned out that Brother Wuwu didn't care about her at all, but she also knew that in his heart, she was just a little girl who was taken around by him as a sister. That's enough. Now, with her dirty body, she doesn't dare to have any delusions, she just hopes that her worry-free brother can be happy.
Yes? Why go to my house? The Nine Emperor Princes shouted, he couldn't get used to the kid surnamed Xiao bullying Zhaoyun like this, secretly gossiping about the seventh brother behind his back, and didn't take them seriously, but he never thought that the seventh brother would actually stuff Zhaoyun to him like this. He doesn't want to suddenly have an extra woman in the house, although Zhaoyun is also a beauty, but it's always inconvenient, he doesn't like it!
Zongzheng glanced at him obliquely, the love you ask for does not live in your mansion, can't you live in my mansion? Since you don't want to, don't worry about it in the future. ”
Zhaoyun clenched his hands in his sleeves, and as soon as he lowered his head, tears fell from his eyes. It turned out that her business was just idle for Brother Sanssouci. Is there anyone in this world who is not an idler in his heart, and whose business is not idle? Looking at the fairy-like woman beside him in a blink of an eye, if one day, General Xuan hurts Sister Rong Le, Brother Wuwu, will you also think it's just an idle matter?
She knew that she couldn't compare with this woman, but if Brother Wuwu cared about her as much as Sister Rong Le, she would also feel that she was very happy, but no, one in ten thousand, no.
Seeing Zhaoyun's gaze gloomy, he couldn't help but sigh silently, Zongzheng was still like this, and he wouldn't think about how much damage his casual words would bring to the people who loved him.
The corners of the Nine Emperors' mouth were still twitching, the Zongzheng was carefree and indifferent, there was no negotiation, this Zhaoyun's eyes were full of sorrow, and people couldn't bear to refuse. He was really in a dilemma, looking at a country, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly he lit up, and approached the moon of the dead Liyue, are we friends? ,
This look, this tone, whoever looks at it knows that he is beating her idea. Wandering but smiling, her friend could be counted, but she couldn't respond until she knew what his idea was. Your Highness Nine, please have something to say. ”
Seeing that she was not fooled, the Nine Emperors smiled brighter, "Look at you, His Royal Highness is called by others, and in Liyue, you can just call me Lao Jiu just like the Seventh Brother in the future." ”
I'm afraid that's not right. Manyao smiled lightly.
What's wrong with it, you're not an outsider. Hey, Liyue, I'd like to discuss with you, can you lend Zhaoyun the Moon Courtyard in your western suburbs for the time being? You see, she divorced that kid surnamed Xiao, living in my house will attract gossip, I don't care, but it's not good for her. For the sake of your friends, you can help! He's eyebrow-raising! A flattering look on his face.
Manyao's face turned pale, "How do you know that the courtyard is mine?" "The Tea Garden is no longer her property on the surface, and the Western Suburbs Courtyard is used to discuss matters with the tea garden stewards of the various branches, and no one knows that the Courtyard is her unless they investigate her privately.
The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned for a moment, knowing that he was speechless, under the sharp gaze, at the moment when Zongzheng was killed with a cold eye, he fully showed his rogue nature, patted his head, and shouted loudly as if he remembered something important: Ah! Suffered! I forgot such an important thing, Seventh Brother, Liyue, I'll go first, and I'll see you in the Lotus Hall in a moment. "The words have not fallen, and people have already slipped away from their responsibilities. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take Zhaoyun and Concubine Lian's personal palace maid away.
The night is thick, and the sky is dark and cloudy. The air is silent, and the white lotus in the lake is reflected in the water, elegant and holy, with a posture that does not touch the fireworks of the world.
In the blink of an eye, Fuliuyuan only created the two of them.
Although Rong Le is a princess of another country, she keeps her duty, and thinks that she will not pose any threat to the king and the kingdom of heaven, I don't know why the king of Li is so bothered to investigate me? After a long silence, Manyao still spoke up, she didn't know why she said that, she just couldn't understand why this man, who had always been indifferent to anyone, still investigated everything about her. Even the Western Suburbs knows it, so her every move in the past year is probably under his control.
Zong Zheng stared at the darkness in the distance, his eyes were far away and silent, and he didn't look at her, "You don't have to call yourself in the name of Rongle, emphasize your identity everywhere." This king knows that you are the princess of Qiyun Kingdom, the wife of the general of the Wei Kingdom, if this king really has any thoughts, these are not within the calculation of this king.
With a faint smile, I know that the king is powerful, acts unscrupulously, and never cares about anyone or anything. ”
If he had put it before, he would have accepted it calmly, but now when it came out of her mouth, he only felt the irony of the extreme. She replied, "But I still want to thank the king for saving his life seven days ago." Whether intentionally or unintentionally. "As a stranger, the grace of saving lives, thank you when you are grateful.
The polite words exhausted the distance between each other. A sentence of "whether intentionally or unintentionally, made his already cold heart freeze another layer of frost."
Now, she thinks he still has a plan for her?
Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly moved his gaze to look at her, those beautiful eyes were as indifferent and clear as before, but it lasted for a year, and it was a little more bleak and indifferent and alienated. It was such a pair of eyes that lingered in his heart or in his dreams for many days and nights, making him sleepless and unstable, and he did not know what to eat. Now, she is in front of her, a stone's throw away, but it seems to be separated from the ends of the world, all kinds of entanglements in the past, in her heart, after all, there is nothing left? There is not even a hh of hatred. Thinking of what she said to Zhaoyun before, it was like a stab in the heart, and the pain couldn't stop.
Do you think that you still have value for this king...? "He has ice in every word, and frost is in his heart.
I also think that there should be none. But I really don't understand, why does the king want to investigate me? And why did you appear at Qingliang Lake at such an opportune time to save my life? Maybe it was a cup, but she had to. The sad and helpless life is a blood mark step by step in the deception, use, injury and betrayal of the people around him again and again. When she always thought of him involuntarily, she reminded herself over and over again that this man had used her body as a tool for him to practice martial arts, and when she unloaded her defense, he gave her a fatal blow, that kind of bloody pain, how dare she forget? How can you forget?
Indifference and suspicion have always been double-edged, while hurting others, the pain swallowed is also like a sharp knife piercing the heart, just like Zongzheng is worry-free, covering up the pain with coldness, it has always hurt others and hurt oneself.
He hooked the corner of his lips and laughed self-deprecatingly. This king just thinks it's too boring, and wants to see what kind of life the man you choose can give you? Can you stay away from exploitation and harm without me?
Manyao's heart trembled, he was alluding to Fu Chip's also using her, he was reminding her that there was no one around her who really treated her, and she lived a ridiculous life.
Without him, there are others who see her as a pawn. Her heart ached, but she laughed hard, laughing extremely brightly, dimming the light of the moon, swallowing lightly, I don't know what kind of taste it tasted when she swallowed, she smiled and said Leave the king to see? The general treated me very well, and he gave me the life I wanted. At least ......, I don't regret my choice at this time. It's you, I should say congratulations. Today's famous ladies gathered, the flower viewing banquet is worthy of the name, presumably His Royal Highness will be able to get what he wants, and choose a beautiful person to accompany him. Her voice was calm, and every word sounded insincere.
He sneered silently, he chose a concubine, and she smiled and congratulated, but she was so indifferent.
It's not that hard to forget one person and fall in love with another. Isn't it really that hard? When she said this, did she feel a sense of cone? If she can really forget the past cleanly and completely, then what is the purpose of so much loneliness and desolation hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows?
In that year, he was inexplicably happy when he heard that they had never had sex together. I clearly remember that she once said that you can't be together without feelings.
He thought she couldn't forget him.
But just as he was looking forward to it, day and night, he brought her her favorite lychee back to the capital on the same night, and he got the news that they were in the same room. What does this mean? It means that she accepted Fu Chip, and it means that she has feelings for Shi Chip. With such a wise woman as her, if she is unwilling, who can force her?
Maybe their time together was too short, or maybe they didn't talk to each other enough, or why did he remember everything she said so clearly?
flew over, dragged her body, and in the blink of an eye, the person who was thinking about it fell into his arms, and the familiar longing came rushing in, drowning his pride and reason.
He wanted to call her the haunting name of "Aman", as before, with the utmost gentleness
He wanted to ask her, did Fu Chip treat you sincerely, "This kind of day, is it really what you want?" Do you really not care about choosing a concubine at all?
He wanted to say that it is not that difficult to forget one person and fall in love with another. That's because the love is not deep enough.
These words are not suitable for him after all, even if he thinks in his heart, but he can't say anything, even the sound of "Aman" is stuck in his throat, like a long thorn, and he can't come out.
The unguarded hug made Man Yao completely freeze for a year, and his behavior was still so unexpected. For a while, they are indifferent, like strangers; One moment he was cold and unforgiving, and he left no room for hurtful speech: and the next he hugged him tightly, as if hugging the most important person in his life.
Which one is the real him? She couldn't tell the difference anymore.
Such a familiar embrace, such a familiar breath, when there is no one in the middle of the night, it is not that I haven't thought about it, but I am always suppressed by the pain of the bones.
If he hadn't used it in the first place, or if he hadn't been so indifferent and hurtful when the truth was revealed, would everything have been different?
If they had been in love, what kind of happiness would they have now?
There are no ifs, no ifs, those exploits, those harms, they are all real.
Leave your Royal Highness, please let me go. Unable to struggle, she spoke, her voice cold and indifferent, unable to hear the slightest emotion.
Zong Zheng Wuchen's heart was suffocated, and the delicate body in his arms was thinner and thinner than before, which made people can't help but want to feel sorry.
Leaving His Royal Highness, such behavior is not in line with his identity. Knowing that the last thing he liked was his identity, she still couldn't help but want to remind him.
Zong Zheng Wuwu hugged her tightly and didn't say a word, as if he wanted to vent all the thoughts of the past year through such a hug and inject it directly into the heart of the woman in his arms.
Time is changing, the times are changing, her identity is changing, and her heart may not be the same as before, only he is still standing in the same place, staying in that dark room, sinking deeper and deeper. When did you begin to understand that you have already been stuck in the mud when you are using it? He forgot.
Aman. He finally called out, his slightly deep voice as if piercing the tunnel of time, returning to the beginning, plucking the most fragile string in her heart.
The evening breeze blows, driving the white lotus in the lake to tremble slightly, the petals that bloom to the extreme seem to be nostalgic for the wind to please cool, want to go with it, but because of the footsteps of chasing the wind, finally unable to fall, falling in the clear water lake, losing itself, but also shattered the reflection of the silver-white moonlight. Drifting with the tide is its predetermined destiny from now on.
This man's every move, word and deed, and even a piece of news about him, can always easily disturb her heart and awaken her buried memories.
This is not what she wants. Those memories, she didn't want to remember.
She closed her eyes for a moment, her mind was certain, she secretly gathered her internal strength, and violently pushed away the man who was holding her.
The force was too heavy, and Zongzheng didn't expect it, and the two suddenly separated, each staggering back a few steps.
The wound on her left shoulder had not healed, and the wound was torn and painful to the bone, and she couldn't stabilize herself after taking six steps back.
Be careful!
There was a gentle and nervous voice of concern behind her, and she fell into a warm embrace.
With such a voice, she doesn't have to look back, she also knows who it is.
When Fu Chip arrived, she didn't even notice it! When he raised his eyes, Zongzheng's worry-free eyes were shocked with the same flash, and then his face sank like water. She was shocked in her heart, and she didn't even know that the sect attack was worry-free? Is it because Fu Chip's skills are too high, or is their mind so chaotic that they lose perception of their surroundings?
Fu Chip held her waist with one hand and took her into his arms without a trace.
The gentle and natural movements seem like flowing water, as if they have been done countless times.
The shadow of the moon shone, and the complicated expression of his face when he stood in the darkness outside the garden gate was obscured by the dark shadow cast by the thick eyelashes, leaving only his usual gentleness.
How should a man react when he sees his wife being hugged by another man? It's a matter of dignity, and loving or not loving is another matter. said that in the era of male supremacy, even in the 21st century, when such things are encountered, they will not be able to do anything. He frowned, not intending to explain anything.
Fu Chip hugged his wife in name only, without anger or accusation. Seeing that although her face was calm and unwavering, her chest was rising and falling sharply, and she was wheezing, knowing that she was in a state of turmoil because of Zongzheng's worry-free mind, he couldn't help but feel irritable, like this June weather, bored.
Aman? Why did Zongzheng Wuwu call her like that? Where did the name come from?
There were too many things between them that he didn't understand, too many memories that he couldn't intervene in, and he spent a year trying his best to deal with each other, but it still couldn't compare to the weight of the short ten days between them in her heart.
Fu Chip quietly calmed down the strange emotions that should not have sprung up in his heart, and unconsciously hugged her tightly.
You okay? He inquired gently, without any resentment.
She was stunned for a moment, she was so tightly detained that she couldn't even breathe well. Frowning slightly, she raised her eyes and saw that his gentle gaze had a faint melancholy color, she was slightly stunned, this kind of hug that seemed to call for everything was really unexpected for Fu Chip.
Let the general worry. She smiled lightly, apologetic.
Zong Zheng Wuwu was cold and cold even in her body, she pushed him away in such a hurry, like avoiding poisonous snakes and beasts, but she stayed quietly in Fu Chip's arms, and naturally smiled lightly.
In the end, they are husband and wife, and a year of getting along has already passed the short ten days between them.
Zong Zheng didn't worry about it, his throat moved, and he swallowed the bitterness in his heart.
The night was so rich, but it couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes.
Fu Chip glanced at the seemingly indifferent man ten steps away from the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't see anything except gentleness. He let go of his arm and let go of the woman in his arms, it's windy here, and your head is blown out.
Manxiao didn't start unnaturally, and before he raised his hand to brush the silk, Fu Chip said again: "Let me come."
Cut her forehead into a strand, and gently wrapped it around the delicate hairpin between the manes a few times, he was familiar with his movements, and he didn't know, and thought he was curling for her every day. In fact, she rarely gets married, unless she goes out with him for some formal occasions.
All right. Fu Chip's voice sounded so gentle and affectionate, as if doing even the most trivial thing for her was a great happiness for him. His smile was slightly scorching.
Manxiao pursed his lips and opened his eyes, the man with an outstanding figure not far away was gloomy and lonely, the corners of his mouth were cold, and his evil eyes were slight.
She lowered her eyes, looked at the black satin brocade shoes in front of her, and unconsciously retreated a little. Raising his hand to cover his left shoulder, he took a breath of cool air, the wound seemed to be cracked, and it was already shallow and wet, but fortunately it was strong enough when he left.
Hit a wound? But it matters. Show me. Fu Chip asked a little nervously.
Zong Zheng looked sideways, she didn't even care about the injuries on her body in order to push him away.
Out of the way. Manyao replied lightly, "The general is here, but the dinner is about to begin?" Concubine Lian her,"
She paused, Fu Chip said Concubine Lian has been beaten into the cold palace by His Majesty, I am here to pick you up
was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Concubine Lian to be thrown into the cold palace. After all, substitutes are just substitutes, since ancient times, men have been affectionate, not to mention the emperor of the harem with three thousand beauties. She sighed, "Then let's go."
Pu Chip nodded, looked at Zong Zheng worry-free, and said with a gentle smile: "It's better to leave the king with us and my wife, today's dinner, you are the protagonist." He spoke of the word husband and wife very seriously.
Zong Zhengwuchen's hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly, like a breeze inadvertently stirring his robe, and it was almost invisible. He glanced deeply at the man, which seemed to be nothing, and seemed to contain the most difficult language in the world.
He didn't say anything, but walked past them and strode away.
Behind him came the voice of concern and a shallow smile, that once I thought about it for hundreds of days and nights, every day I heard the news of her happiness with another man, Qin Se and Ming, and finally under the verification of today's own eyes and ears, like a sharp knife with a stab, towards his heart, and then pulled out fiercely, those barbs with bloody flesh flew up, painful to the bones.
In the Lotus Palace, when everyone looked through the autumn water, a voice finally came: "Leaving His Royal Highness,
All the women in the main hall turned their heads to look at each other, most of them had never seen Zongzheng worry-free
It's just that I heard that Wang Junmei is unparalleled, which is rare in the world; The martial arts are high and unpredictable; The strength of the holy grace is like no other.
These three points alone are enough to make women all over the world flock to it, but they are not allowed to get close to the king's taboo women. Now that I heard that the king had chosen a concubine, why didn't they make their hearts flutter
As soon as Zong Zheng Wuchen entered the hall, so many pairs of eyes suddenly brightened and became obsessed. Although those women had thought of countless possibilities, they were still shocked by the man in front of them.
The man in front of him said that he was an immortal, but he was more like a demon: he said that he was a demon, but he had a fairy appearance
This person, with a pure and perfect appearance like a fairy, a demon-like cold and evil but breathtaking eyes, full of luxury, and a king's gestures have the power to make the world want to surrender. This is the worry-free politics of Zongzheng, and the world's description of him is not even a phoenix python.
The eyes of the women were obsessed, following his figure, and they couldn't move half a minute, and the woman in green who was sitting in the position of the women had firmness in her eyes.
Zong Zheng was expressionless, neither saluted, nor even said hello, but walked straight to the position between the crown prince and the Nine Emperor Princes and sat down.
The Nine Emperor Princes leaned over with a warm voice, and said with a mysterious smile: Seventh Brother, you two ......."
Before he finished speaking, Zong Zheng swept his cold eyes, and he immediately stopped. Seeing that the two Fu Chips who entered the hall later seemed to be the most compatible and harmonious couple in the world, they suddenly understood that their acquaintance was closed. Say no more.
And opposite the two of them is the position of Fu Chip and his wife, under the prince of Dustwind.
The officials in the court knew the character of the king, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but the people of the Dust Wind Country felt extremely strange, but the attention of the prince of the dust wind was all shifted to the woman in the moon-white cloud brocade forging robe.
Walk her?!
Ning Ganyi can almost be called a gaffe, in the palace people's sentence 'Princess Rongle arrived, and then when he saw the woman in white, he knocked over the fruit plate on the table, his bold and domineering eyebrows were full of disbelief, and a hearty smile froze on his lips, he looked at the stunning woman with elegant steps in shock, who was not the woman in white who had haunted him in the past seven days?
In the past seven days, he ordered people to inquire around, but they could not find out her identity. He thought that she was just a strange woman hidden among the people, but he never expected that she would be the princess of Qiyun Kingdom!
With such a character, he couldn't even inquire whether his people became incompetent after coming to a strange country, or did someone obstruct them?
Ning Ganyi's strange reaction, Zhou Sleepy's side didn't feel very unusual, after all, when they saw this woman at a glance, they were all shocked and reacted abnormally.
As soon as she entered the hall, she felt a blazing gaze staring straight at her, and she slowly raised her eyes, but she was also stunned. Compared to Ning Qianyi, she seemed very calm. If you think about it, only a prominent identity like the prince of Dustwind would attract such a deliberate assassination.
She walked to the center of the main hall and saluted, Rong Le was late, please forgive your majesty! ”
Emperor Lin smiled and said, "Princess, hurry up and excuse yourself." Father-in-law Chen, please take the princess to the table. ”
Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
After she and Pu Chip sat down, Emperor Lin introduced: This is the prince of the Dust Wind who came from afar.
Zongzheng listened without worry, and drank tea by himself.
Manxiao only smiled indifferently, as if it was just a meeting, and greeted him very formulaically.
Ning Ganyi's hearty smile no longer existed, and he still didn't want to believe the fact that she was a princess. I looked at her in a daze, and I couldn't come back to my senses. It wasn't until the middle-aged man next to him reminded him that he returned the salute and sat down, his eyes still looking over from time to time.
At the beginning of the banquet, dancing and music were all in unison, and everyone raised their glasses and drank tea.
The people of the Dusty Wind Country are good at wine, and Emperor Lin specially ordered someone to prepare fine wine for the prince of Dustwind alone, and Ning Qianyi did not refuse, and the three bowls of spirits entered the intestines, and the words became scarce.
Prince. The middle-aged man was very worried, the prince finally found a woman he liked, who knew that it was someone else's wife, alas!
Ning Ganyi put down the wine bowl in his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed down, "Don't worry, I remember my identity." ”
A dinner party, on the surface, seems to be harmonious, but in fact everyone has their own thoughts.
There are dozens of women present who have not left the cabinet, but there is only one position away from the princess, plus the side concubine and the princess of the dust wind king, there are few in total. If you want to stand out from so many people, you naturally need to work hard.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, all the women show their strengths, it can really be said that a hundred birds compete for a hundred flowers, all of them are excellent.
It's a pity that the two men they want to please and favor are all lost in their eyebrows; One was expressionless and just drank tea, and he didn't look at them from beginning to end.
Emperor Lin smiled and said, "What does the prince think about the women of my dynasty compared to the women of your country?" ”
Ning Ganyi thought about it slightly, and said with a smile. Although the women of your country do not have the sassy and heroic posture of our women, the women of your country are dignified and elegant, and they are both talented and beautiful, which is really rare.
Emperor Lin nodded happily, leaned over slightly, and said with a smile: Okay. I'm very happy today, Gonggong Chen, I want to reward you. After that, he looked at Ning Qianyi again, "Who does the prince think is better among them?" I gave her the title of princess. The implication is to let Ning Gan choose a concubine and will be named a princess and a pro-dust country. It is also strange to say that Emperor Lin has many sons, but there are no daughters.
Ning Ganyi glanced at the women, and finally his gaze fell on the woman in white who was sitting quietly.
If he hadn't met seven days ago, maybe he would have chosen one of these women to go back often, so as to fulfill the wish of his father and mother.
If there had not been that assassination, and without this woman's life and death and tribulation, he would have almost lost her life, maybe he would have shaved off his appearance and chose another person.
However, if none of this exists, he meets her, the princess named Rong Le.
fell in love at first sight, and since then he has been haunted by his dreams, this has always been the woman he has always dreamed of. Finally, I realized that, sadly, she was not just someone else's wife, but also a princess who was close to her.
Princess Rongle, why didn't he go to Qiyun Kingdom to meet her earlier?
Prince, Prince! ”
Ning Gan Yi came back to his senses, put his hand on his forehead, shook his head, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Wang has been drinking a lot today, so you might as well let Liwang taste it."
Emperor Lin's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the man who was quietly drinking tea outside the matter, and then looked at Zongzheng who didn't raise his eyes, sighed secretly, and raised his voice to the group of beautiful women in blue shirts: "Yali, I heard that you have recently practiced a dance, and you are dancing to cheer everyone up. ”
Your Majesty's will. "The woman in the blue shirt is the only daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially beautiful dancing. When she heard about the nomination of the emperor, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted, but her eyes looked at Zongzheng worry-free, with a deep admiration in her eyes that could not be concealed and the determination to win.
Sun Yali walked to the center of the hall, the drums sounded in unison, she smiled, she was charming, the pomelo shook, and she danced.
I saw that her body was light, and she seemed to want to fly away when she danced. She has practiced this dance for many years, just for today.
A multicolored brocade suddenly hung down from the corridor connecting the two attics, and came straight to the hall, and the woman jumped up with one hand, and flew towards the adjacent three-story attic.
The wind blew her long, and the gauze sleeves fluttered, like a fairy running to the moon, floating away.
Chang'e to the moon,
I don't know who exclaimed, and Zongzheng, who had always lowered his eyes, had a worry-free complexion, and suddenly raised his head.
What to watch for in the next chapter:
Why did Zongzheng's worry-free expression change abruptly?
Sun Yali came prepared, a stunning dance, but was unintentionally destroyed by Manyao, Sun Yali was jealous and hated to challenge Manyao, who wins and who loses? Will Zongzheng sit idly by?"
I am back! I read the message again, thank you very much for your waiting, care x support and encouragement during this time, my mother-in-law's operation went smoothly, her condition has stabilized a little, and she has been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor said that there should be a few more months.
