The mother and son stepped forward to take over, and the maids served the king of Chu to sit down. The crown prince bowed down to his father and stood sideways. Queen Cai personally served tea to the king of Chu, and then sat on the side of the king of Chu.

"What are you mother and son talking about? According to the time, the envoy who hired Qin should be able to return to Yingdu in these days, I wonder if Ai Ji is ready to marry her? The prince's wedding, the important ceremony of the country, can not be wrong. ”

Cai Ji replied: "Thank you for the king's memory, the prince's wedding ceremony, the concubine has made the celebrant ready." Besides, Taishi Wu is in charge of the honor guard, and I don't think it's bad. Just now, the concubine and Wu'er also talked about this, and the prince thought of the king's licking of the calf, and he was also nostalgic in his heart. King Chu glanced at Cai Ji, although she still has charm, but the years are long, yesterday's bright and fresh, and now it is yesterday's yellow flower, and it is gone. The King of Chu was speechless for a long time, and after thinking about Fei Wuji's words, his heart became a little active. His sideburns are gray, and he no longer cherishes the good time now, and he is really unwilling. So he jokingly said: "My son is filial, and he will not be an enemy of the widow one day." The widow has delivered the country of a thousand miles to you, and it will be yours in the future, right? ”

The prince hurriedly knelt down and said that he did not dare. The king of Chu ordered the crown prince to retreat, chatted with the queen for a while, stayed for a while, and went to the other concubines to rest without mentioning it.

After the morning of the second day, the king of Chu returned to the palace and was sitting depressed. An attendant came to report, saying that the young master Fei Wuji was asking to see him at the palace gate.

After Fei Wuji came in and bowed, the king of Chu waved to the attendants, and the attendants withdrew from the palace. Fei Wuji urged: "Hasn't my king made up his mind yet? Ask the king to decide this matter as early as possible, in case there are many dreams at night. Besides, if the king is indecided, then Gongzi Pu, the envoy of the Qin State, will also be suspicious. What else should the king hesitate about? ”

The King of Chu frowned and said: "There is no perfect way to suffer, although the widow is also very willing in his heart, why is this heavenly way human?" Besides, you haven't come up with a good plan at the moment, everything is not going to be done, what can you do to let the widow do it? ”

Wuji searched for the meaning of the king of Chu, afraid that there was no perfect strategy, and it was difficult to block the mouth of Yunyun, so he offered a plan: "As long as the king makes up his mind, this matter is not too difficult to do." The old minister has long thought of a plan for the king, how about the king? ”

"Tell the widow what you want, and if it works, you will be rewarded."

Wuji stepped forward and whispered: "This time, King Qin married several of the princess's personal maids, among whom there was a maid named Waist Yu, who was originally a daughter of the people of Qi State, and was later selected to serve in the palace to serve the princess. Although this girl is not as good as the princess, she is also extraordinary in appearance and elegant in temperament. If she is dressed as a princess, there is no flaw. The king matched the waist jade to the crown prince, and then secretly carried the princess into the palace. This is a plan for grafting flowers and trees, which can be safe. What does the king think? ”

The king of Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Wuji repeatedly told him about the beauty of Princess Qin, and he couldn't hold it in his heart, so he made up his mind: "Aiqing should be careful about this matter, and don't leak the news." If there is a mistake in this matter, the widow will not spare you. When he is done, the widow will reward you heavily. Fei Wuji said goodbye to the king of Chu and went to make arrangements.

Wuji returned to the place where he was encamped, and asked Shuya to straighten out the car account and prepare for the princess to enter the city. At the same time, Wuji sent a messenger into the palace and reported it to the court, saying that the princess of Qin had welcomed back and asked the palace to prepare the prince's wedding ceremony.

Wuji divided the convoy into two teams, the princess and the messenger Gongzi Pu went to the palace, and he took the waist jade as a team to the prince's east palace. Before leaving, I dressed up my waist jade carefully. That's exactly: the lips are red and the face is fragrant, the eyebrows are willow cuts, and the temples are painted with ink; Jade Pei Lingling, gold hairpin obliquely inserted; is really like a fairy, more beautiful than peach blossoms.

Before leaving, Gongzi Pu was a little puzzled: "Young Master, what is the reason why the princess does not go to the prince's east palace but goes to the palace?" The lord led the maid and maid to the prince's east palace first, and he was really a little puzzled. ”

Wuji replied in a hurry: "My lord doesn't know, according to the customs of our Chu country, the new daughter-in-law must first go to meet her aunt (father-in-law, referring to the king of Chu) before she can marry the prince." When the princess arrives at the palace gate, the princess can return to the inn, and the king of my family will arrange to thank him. So Gongzi Pu did not doubt, sent Princess Wuxiang to the palace gate, handed over it, went back to the post house to rest, and returned to Qin State to hand over a business in a few days.

The princess was kept in the dark, carried into the palace by the attendants, and was sent straight to an inner room prepared by the king of Chu.

After Princess Meng Huan of Qin got out of the car, she was introduced to the inner bed of the King of Chu by her concubine. I saw an old man with gray hair sitting upright in the middle. The princess was taken aback for some reason. The heart said: "Could it be that my brother married himself to this dying old man?" Besides, if he married the prince of Chu State, it is impossible for the prince to be so old. While the drum was beating in his heart, the old man came up and cared for himself kindly, and ordered the maids to serve well.

So a concubine reminded the princess: "This is the monarch of our country, King Chu is also, and the princess can worship him." ”

The princess bowed to the king of Chu, and was always confused, and looked back and found that the waist jade was missing from the personal maid. Then he asked the maidservants on the left and right: "Where did that Qi girl's waist jade go?" Why didn't I see it? The king of Chu came up and held the princess's jade hands, and sighed: "The princess is worthy of being the daughter of a big country, she is really the color of the country, and the country of Chu has not seen half the color of the princess." The princess is really an immortal! ”

Looking at the princess's confusion, the king of Chu laughed heartily: "The princess's maid is named Waist Yu, and she is now marrying the prince in the East Palace." The princess has been widowed, do you understand now? ”

The princess was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she understood what was going on. However, there is no door to call the deep palace compound here, and to say that it is facing the power of the king, it is really called that there is no way to the sky, and there is no way to ask for the land. Besides, the news could not reach his brother thousands of miles away, and they were all in the dark, thinking that she had already married the prince. Meng Huan's tears burst out of her eyes, she had traveled thousands of miles, suffered a lot of displacement, said goodbye to her hometown and relatives, and didn't want to end up like this today. I was dropped by someone and became the wife of the dying old man in front of me, so I felt sad from my heart.

When the king of Chu saw that the princess's pear blossoms were raining and the flowers were discolored, he came up to comfort her carefully and was very considerate. Tell me not to disobey the princess's will, and if the princess needs anything, you must do it immediately, even if you want the moon in the sky, you must go and take it off for me. So the princess was slept in by the king of Chu, and neither the minister nor the prince knew about it, thinking that the prince in the east palace was married to the princess Meng Huan of Qin, and no one suspected Fei Wuji's treacherous schemes.

Meng Huan washed her face with tears all day and cried every night. The king of Chu was not angry, and often came over to be careful and forgiving. Meng Huan finally thought that the King of Chu was old, and he was always a little unwilling in his heart. But there is no other way to suffer, just sigh about his hard life.

On that day, the princess sat alone and wept, and one of the personal maids named Suyu persuaded her: "The princess weeps all the time, and it is not a common law to be depressed." In this case, the princess must also have a plan, and she can't be sent away like this. I have some thoughts, I wonder if the princess would like to hear it? Meng Huan saw that there was something strange in her words, so she asked her to speak carefully.

"At the moment, we don't have much to do, it's better to follow the King of Chu in order to plan for the future."

"What else can you think about? I am in the prime of my youth, but he is an old man, what is there to talk about? At the moment, the four of you are my confidants, and now I have gone to the waist jade, and although the three of you are with me, I want the waist jade to follow me for many years, and now I still betray me, what else can I say? ”

So the three personal maids, Suyu, Chenyu, and Xiangyu, all hurriedly knelt down and cried with them.

"Otherwise, the princess will follow the king of Chu, if there is a man and a woman in the future, things will be easy to do. It is best to give birth to a boy, just to become a prince, and it is not in vain for the princess to marry thousands of miles away. Otherwise, the princess will be old and lonely all her life, which is really no way. Sutama continued

The princess groaned for a long time and held back her tears. He said hatefully: "The king of Chu forced me to such a point, and he will not blame me for messing with his Chu country in the future." What you said is also a solution, since we have no way out, we have to do this. So I thought about it carefully and made up my mind.

One day, when the king of Chu arrived, Meng Huan combed her hair and makeup, and dressed up carefully. The king of Chu only saw the princess's tears all day long, either sad or sighing, and he was really overjoyed to be able to spring after the rain today. I saw that the natural beauty was blooming, and it was really a fascination with the old eyes of the King of Chu. When the king of Chu saw that Meng Huan had turned around, he was really overjoyed.

Meng Huan said to the king of Chu: "The concubine left home thousands of miles, endured a lot of hardships, left her relatives and land, and came to the kingdom of the king. Even though she was cherished by the king, the concubine did not dare to force her resignation. But today, the concubine has a word, hoping that the king will allow it. ”

The king of Chu replied happily: "Ai Ji quickly speak, the widow will definitely promise." ”

"The concubine obeyed her brother's order and married far away to the Chu State, she originally thought that she was the same age, similar in spring and autumn, but now that the king is old, the concubine does not dare to complain. But after his day, who can the concubine rely on? The king should think of a way back for his concubine in the future, so as not to make the concubine suspenseful all day long, and it is difficult to feel at ease! ”

The king of Chu understood Meng Huan's meaning, and in order to stabilize her first, he promised: "If the princess is widowed, if she can give birth to a boy in the future, the widow will appoint him as the prince as the support of Aiji in the future." ”

"The king must not deceive his concubines, and I should keep in mind the words of the king today."

After Meng Huan bathed and changed clothes, the king of Chu hugged the beauty. It's really mellow and lovely, clotted nephrite, drunk and lying among the flowers, with all kinds of love for honey, only hating the short night and the white horse flying.

Since then, the king of Chu has often ignored the government and politics, as long as there is no major event, he will accompany Meng Huan to drink, sing and dance, and feast endlessly. Because of Fei Wuji's great achievements this time, the king of Chu summoned him to the palace from time to time and granted him state affairs. As the King of Chu gradually became addicted to wine, Fei Wuji became even more powerful, ignoring the original old ministers and upstarts, and was very domineering.

But there is no leaky wall in this world, and the capital city gradually spread the news that the princess was dropped, and it spread for a while, and in the face of such rumors, the king of Chu secretly summoned Fei Wuji into the palace to discuss how to deal with this matter.
