Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beauty's Family
trotted all the way to the palace, and several attendants couldn't help but be secretly startled when they saw King Shun's wet appearance from head to end, and hurriedly leaned over to hold an umbrella in panic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just in time for the Duke of Yongming to leave the mansion, Yongming bowed slightly, looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two of them, and kindly reminded: "Your Highness should be careful of your body, this kind of weather is very easy to get typhoid fever." ”
King Shun nodded slightly, and seeing that she was going out at this hour, he said a little strangely: "It's dark at night, where is the princess going?" ”
Yongming glanced at the maid beside him, and King Shun followed her gaze, only to find that this maid was not a maid in his own house, but was dressed as a palace maid, and heard her whisper: "Anding Niangniang invited me to go to Anding Palace for a banquet." ”
Anding Niangniang is the biological mother of the sixth prince Qingwang, formerly known as Liu Rushu, after giving birth to the prince, the emperor gave the name Anding and moved to Anding Palace. Now they all sent people to the Shun Wangfu to invite Princess Yongming to the banquet, presumably they were a little anxious to wait, King Shun didn't think about it, and even King Qing had the idea of marrying Lu Guo.
King Shun understands his father, the state of Lu will be destroyed sooner or later, not only the country of Lu, but also the country of Qi, the state of Liang, and the state of Beiyan will be destroyed, and his heart of dominating the world is not known to others, and the king of Shun, who has been fighting all year round, will not know?
What does it have to do with who you marry?
didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and strode towards his courtyard, Wang Ruoyu bowed and left.
At the right time, Chu Shenxia was watching King Shun trot into his room outside the window, and the rain and thunder kept coming, and he was a little stunned for a moment. That year, it was also such a weather, and he remembered very well that he turned over and rushed into the house with two bags of green plums.
Don't dare to think about it anymore, turn around and close the window, in recent days, the abolished prince seems to have stopped a little, and nothing major happened in Jincheng.
However, Chu Shenxia understands that this is just the calm before the gale, and I don't know what kind of scene the bloody wind will be after that?
King Qing seems to have made no progress on the severed palm case, and suddenly it was like a hot potato, and he was looking for someone to take over this hot potato at the moment.
King Qing happily agreed, transferred the case to King Shun, and went on to do something else.
King Shun was also having a headache at a very moment, and a person in the rivers and lakes claimed to be able to help King Shun solve the case and also moved into King Shun's mansion.
Chu Shenxia was obviously very shocked by his appearance. The two eyes stared at the person sitting opposite, but the person being stared at was holding a cup of hot tea and sipping it carefully.
After eating a cup of tea, he reached out to take the teapot again, Chu Shenxia snatched the teapot with his hand, and said angrily: "What are you here to make a fuss?" ”
Jing Min reluctantly put down the teacup, rubbed his cold hands, and sighed: "Can't I come if you can?" Besides, I'm here to solve problems for Your Highness. ”
"What can you do?" Chu Shenxia glanced at him, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table twice, and said solemnly: "This matter is much more complicated for you than you think. ”
Jing Yan didn't care about it, and said, "How complicated can it be?" Isn't it just a murder case? ”
"I don't know." Chu Shenxia scolded, got up and walked to the window, and said in a low voice: "Do you think that the flowers here are flowers, trees are trees, and people are people?" ”
Jing Min rubbed his hands desperately, and couldn't help laughing: "When did you become so worried, you don't look like you used to be." ”
Chu Shenxia turned around and saw that he was wearing a thick robe, but there was no trace of blood on his face, and the wind rushed in through the window, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Closing the window, sitting down again, he looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "When did you become so afraid of the cold?" ”
Jing Min was stunned, rubbing his hands for a moment, his eyes dimmed, but after a moment, he brightened again, and said with a smile: "Yes, this weather is really cold." ”
"I advise you not to get involved..... just as the words began, and a crisp knock sounded at the door, and the door opened, and the attendant came in to explain his intentions.
It turned out that King Shun knew out of nowhere that today was Banrong's birthday, and insisted on setting up a table in the palace, inviting some familiar people to celebrate her birthday, and also inviting the new staff Jing Yi to go.
Yongming was late, swept around, and saw that they were all seated, but found that the seats were empty, and froze in place with some embarrassment.
King Shun raised his eyes and smiled: "I thought the princess was not coming, so I gave up the princess's seat to the new staff." ”
After laughing, he immediately ordered the subordinate on the side: "Hurry up and set up another seat." ”
Yongming's eyes fell on Jing Min's embarrassed look on his face, and it was really embarrassing to be seen by his friends in such a situation today.
Jing Yan "Teng" got up and asked the attendee to say respectfully: "Princess, please, I offended." ”
Chu Shenxia took a deep look at him, he still had such a side? I have the impression that he has never had a rule.
Yongming smiled reluctantly, sat down tremblingly, and the newly added seats were also set up at the right time, and the embarrassment in his heart faded slightly when he saw Jing Min enter the seat.
King Shun raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Banrong: "Miss Banrong, this king toasts you a glass and wishes you a happy birthday." ”
Banrong but his eyes were ethereal, he didn't hear what he said at all, King Shun frowned slightly and shouted again, and Banrong raised his head with an "ah".
Hurriedly grabbed the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and said lightly: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
King Shun raised his hand in mid-air, a little inexplicable about her performance today, he smiled, and drank it all.
The wind swept to her face, as if she was lost and depressed, and she didn't understand why she was unhappy, but thinking that today was her birthday, she tried her best to promote the atmosphere and said: "Today's weather is good, why don't we each chant a poem, and take the family as the theme." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence, and no one echoed him, and King Shun was a little embarrassed.
Chu Shenxia was stunned, and used the posture of drinking to hide his slightly heavy face, Jing Yan didn't have any expression, but he couldn't see how happy he was, Yongming looked at the people of the palace and thought that his father was thousands of miles away, and his mood can be imagined, Wang Ruoyu has never had a look, and he didn't speak.
King Shun noticed everyone's expressions, and also regretted his proposal a little, so he coughed dryly and said: "The beautiful woman I am talking about is that there is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the beauty in the country. ”
Jing Yi smiled: "I also know a poem related to beautiful women, there are beautiful women in the peerless generation, living in the empty valley." ”
King Shun glanced over, looked slightly displeased, and said, "Have you read the last few lines of the poem carefully?" The husband is light and thin, and the newcomer is as beautiful as jade. But when I saw the new man laughing, I heard the old man crying. She is just a poor woman abandoned by her husband during the war, how can she be the kind of beauty I refer to? ”
"Your Highness, that's your mistake. She came from a good family, but she was born at the wrong time, because of the war, her high-ranking brother was killed, and her husband, seeing the fall of her mother's family, abandoned her and married a beautiful woman. Although she was homeless, she was not overwhelmed by misfortune and did not succumb to fate. Secluded in the empty valley, adjacent to the grass and trees, determined to keep the festival, like a mountain spring. How can such a sympathetic and admirable woman not be considered a beauty? Jing Min finished saying this very quickly, but the words were clear.
Several people present listened to him very carefully, and there was a lot of approval in their eyes, and even King Shun couldn't help nodding.
Only half of the face, from beginning to end, he did not raise his face, and was always in a state of emptiness.
Everyone seemed to sense that something was wrong with her, and they all looked at her in a daze, and she realized the gaze around her, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up, which startled everyone.
Banrong then stood up and said with some uneasiness: "I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll go back to the room first." ”
King Shun originally wanted to keep her, but seeing that she really couldn't keep her spirits, he had to give up, and when he drank again, he suddenly felt very tasteless.
Everyone hastily finished the meal and went back to their rooms.
It is indeed a bit inappropriate to choose this atmosphere to celebrate, not to mention that the palace has been busy for several days, even the parties are not very interested.
Jing Min quipped: "King Shun is really unusual to that half-rong girl." ”
Chu Shenxia bent down to play with his two pots of flowers and shook his head: "You see that each pot of flowers looks different, I am very unusual for these flowers, but in the end, they are just potted flowers for me after all." ”
"Your ability to scold Huai is getting higher and higher, I want to see which woman can be your wife Chu Shenxia in the future." Jing Min hugged his chest and teased wantonly.
Chu Shenxia fiddled with the flower pots, got up and said, "Tell me how you plan to solve the case." ”
"Well..."Jing Min blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”
"Okay, I'll wait and see, don't run away when the time comes, you pat your ass and leave, I'm the one who is embarrassed."
Jing Yan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Isn't it shameful enough to know a liar? This makes me how to raise my head in front of His Highness in the future. Chu Shenxia blinked as he did.
"Okay, I haven't played for a long time, and my muscles and bones are a little itchy." Before Jing Yan's words fell, his palm with a strong wind slashed towards him.
Chu Shenxia was not prepared, but he avoided it in a flash, turned around with a palm, shook his head and teased: "I haven't seen you for a few days, it's a lot slower, this hero, if you can't do it, quit the rivers and lakes as soon as possible, the rivers and lakes are too dangerous and not suitable for you." ”
Jing Yan's eyes tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, look at my newly practiced swordsmanship." ”
Chu Shenxia saw that his sword qi was coming, and there was no sword beside him, so he jumped off the pavilion at once and picked up a stick as a weapon for self-defense. Jing Min followed reluctantly, the sword qi struck left and right, the movement was so fast that people couldn't see clearly, Chu Shenxia was forced into the corner, reflexively borrowed his strength to take three steps on the wall, and jumped into the pavilion again.
Before he had time to turn back, he already felt Jing Yan's sword qi attacking from behind, a short body rolled, and when he looked up, his few pots of treasures had been "separated".
Chu Shenxia said angrily: "Good you Jinghan! ”
Jing Yan put away his sword behind his back and smiled proudly: "After all, they are just potted flowers to you after all!" ”
Seeing that he was sarcastic with what he had said, he was slightly stunned, and quickly made a move before he was expecting, and slapped Jing Yan in the chest with a strong palm.
Chu Shenxia saw his Adam's apple rolling, and knew that it must be too heavy, so he hurried over to grab his pulse, but he threw it away.
"A little palm, something." Jing Yanqiang swallowed the blood gushing in his chest, and waved his hand pretending to be indifferent.
Chu Shenxia stared at his eyes and said, "The teeth are all red." ”
Jing Min only felt dizzy, and his eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't hear what he said, so he had to ask, "What?" ”
Before he could hear the reply of the person in front of him, his hand was firmly clasped, and he felt him on his pulse, knowing that it was too late, so he did not push him, so as not to deepen his suspicions.
Chu Shenxia's brows locked and locked, and he said to himself, "What kind of breath is this?" I have never..."
Jing Yan quickly withdrew his hand and pretended to tease: "I said that I was fine, but you still don't believe it, even if I have something, what can you see?" ”
