Chapter 5: Thousands of Miles Away
Chapter 5: Thousands of Miles Away
At the entrance of the Zhilan Palace, a group of palace ladies sent away the last wave of concubines who came to say goodbye, and packed up the congratulatory gifts that were piled up in the garden, it snowed overnight last night, and the snow in the garden had already been stepped out of a road.
Looking out of the screen window, seeing that everyone had dealt with the matter, Ouyang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, put away the window screen, and went back to the bed and sat down, Ouyang Yu didn't want to see so many people from the bottom of her heart, in fact, she knew the speed at which these concubines in the harem learned the news, and she should have let people spread the word, so that the sisters didn't have to come one by one.
Ouyang Yu looked at the little princess in swaddling clothes, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Gongsun Yuting, as well as the tall little nose and pink mouth, I am afraid that in addition to her skin quality, she was carved out of the same mold as Gongsun Yuting, but it was a pity that Yan Feng looked like himself.
The birth of the ninth princess of Gongsun is undoubtedly a plum blooming in this cold winter, especially after the people have added oil and vinegar to convey, the events on the night of the birth of the ninth princess of Gongsun are very mysterious, nothing more than a gust of wind blew for no reason at that time, and it was just a snowy night around the world, and all kinds of public opinion were overwhelming.
"Auntie, I think it's okay, these nine princesses must be immortals, I heard that she still has fairy red on her eyebrows, it's not wrong"
"Nonsense, these nine princesses are clearly the reincarnation of the demon queen, and the demon wind that night can prove it, how did they become immortals?"
"No, no, you are all wrong, my nephew is on an errand in the palace, he has seen the nine princesses with his own eyes, and said that the nine princesses have clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there is a mole between their foreheads, which is the same as the Bodhisattva in the painting, and I said that the nine princesses must be reincarnated as a Bodhisattva."
"Boring, what kind of reincarnation wheel is the ninth princess that you and I care about?"
It's nothing more than a topic, looking at a few people arguing again, their faces are red and red, and the tea just served is cold again.
However, in just a few days, the matter of the ninth princess of Gongsun has not stopped for a moment, and the teahouse and restaurant can be pulled together together, but the nine princesses of Chu are really not a big deal, and the people of Chu love to worry, and look at the southern country thousands of miles away, the night the ninth princess was born, a singer in the southern country also gave birth to a prince, it is said that the scene at that time was more dangerous than the Chu country, but there was no rumor at all.
In the largest source teahouse in Rong'an City, in an Accord, several men sat cross-legged, upright and straight, and a few people sat opposite a year-old man, only to see his face solemn, a little thoughtful, holding a letter that had just been opened in his hand, and a good piece of white jade was placed on the side, and a pair of unicorns were engraved on the white jade with good luster, symbolizing the dignity of status.
"Everything is fine with the little lord of Yixiang, the little prince is also safe, the queen has no chance to kill the killer, and her subordinates are desperate to save the two little masters, but I am afraid that I will have to be more careful in the future"
Among the people sitting cross-legged, a man in a green robe spoke, and several other people nodded one after another, and after looking carefully, they found that these people were not wearing Chu costumes, and their accents were not the same as those of Chu people.
In recent years, the south has been in the midst of war, even the lord of a country of the south king have led the army to go out, it is said that the court is also the south of the king in the agent, under the war, all countries can see the people of the south, in the eyes of outsiders, the war-torn south has no glory at all, and it is only a matter of time before the country is overthrown.
However, the few people sitting at this table today are by no means ordinary southerners, although they are wearing simple southbound clothes, they still can't hide their well-trained temperament, especially the man opposite, with elegant manners and gentle conversation, you can see at a glance that he is a well-educated person.
"I have read Yixiang's letter, the queen is the head of the harem, and there have been many years after the seal, and she has not been able to have a son and a half daughter, but now she has let Yixiang take the lead, she will naturally hold a grudge, the king has been fighting for half a year this time, Yixiang is in the harem thanks to the help of your brothers, Ye Mou has thanked a few here"
It turned out that the man who spoke was Ye Qiuke, the left prime minister of the southern country, and the Yixiang in their mouth was Leng Yixiang, the singer from the left prime minister's mansion in the southern country, the righteous sister of the left prime minister Ye Qiuke, and now she is a beautiful person in the south, her status is not high, and her title is inconspicuous, but she gave birth to a prince very competitively, and it is no wonder that several masters of the left prime minister's mansion in the south personally sent a letter to Ye Qiuke.
"Prime Minister is serious, the little lord of Yixiang grew up with our brothers since childhood, just like our little sister, it is our duty as brothers to protect our sister" The man in the green robe said again, and the others still nodded blindly, the man in the green robe had red eyes, and he must have been on the road day and night in order to catch up with Ye Qiuke.
"On the night of the little lord of Yixiang, the sky thunder and lightning, and the sky was full of red light, the wind was strong, the queen mother was sure that the prince was born of a demon, and she led the harem concubines to make a fuss in Yixiang Courtyard, and when the subordinates left, they moved the little lord and the prince to the prime minister's mansion without authorization, and asked the prime minister to punish him" Another man in a dark robe got up and clasped his fists with both hands, kneeling on one knee, and looked guilty.
"Brother Wu, what are you doing? Ye hasn't thanked you yet, how can he blame you? It is better for you to settle Yixiang in my house, the queen mother is no longer lawless, no matter how high the poster's position is, she will never dare to step into my prime minister's mansion, but there is a supreme pen given by the emperor himself in my house, if she dares to see no one, that pen will definitely draw a stroke on her surname" Ye Qiuke hurriedly stepped forward, politely helped the man who was kneeling on the ground up, and said a call with righteous words.
"The prime minister should be careful in Chu State, the south cannot be without the prime minister, and our brothers rushed back to the south overnight"
"A few brothers have worked hard, Yixiang will ask you, yesterday the king came to the letter, the king's men and horses are already on the way back to the court, you go back first, I have been in Chu for half a month, and I was planning to visit the king of Chu these days, but I heard that the queen mother gave birth to a princess, and it was delayed for a few days" Ye Qiuke did not have the slightest frame of the prime minister of a country in front of several people, he waved his hands and said goodbye to a few people politely.
As soon as the conversation between several people in the Accord ended, outside the closed window, a woman who looked like a maid left in a hurry, looking at it, it seemed that there were many people standing outside the window, and most of the conversations of those people in the room had heard it, and it could be seen that this person was excellent in martial arts, and several masters in the room did not find out her existence, and they could accurately know the place where Ye Qiuke and several people met, excluding her from Chu, the only thing that could be determined was that she was the same as Ye Qiuke, a native of the south.
A few days later, Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, received a letter that Ye Qiuke, the left prime minister of the southern country, came to visit, and was currently settled in Rong'an City, and he was not allowed to think about it.
Gongsun Yuting is not the first time to see Ye Qiuke, speaking of which, the two met more than ten years ago, at that time both of them were high-spirited young people, ambitious, both of them have the heart of the same way, and they have also tried martial arts together, but there is no contact later, and now they meet again, is it familiar or strange? Gongsun Yuting was worried.
The banquet to entertain Ye Qiuke was set up in the Yueru Song Pavilion not far from the Zhilan Palace, Gongsun Yuting did not invite any civil and military generals, he sat alone in the pavilion and waited, and he didn't even leave a waiting Gong E beside him, and they left on their own after all the dishes on the table, even if Ye Qiuke arrived, Gong E, who led the way, only led him to the door.
Ye Qiuke came to Chu for the first time, naturally did not recognize the road in the palace, however, Ye Qiuke did not lack a heart, entered the door and walked directly on the road, and did not walk long before he saw Gongsun Yuting in civilian clothes from a distance, he relied on the column to think, saw Ye Qiuke coming, came back to his senses, and welcomed him into the pavilion in a hurry.
"Ye was fortunate to see the legendary Yueru Song Pavilion today, which is really worthy of its name"
As soon as Ye Qiuke stepped into the pavilion door with both feet, he sighed, and Gongsun Yuting on the side was embarrassed.
"Oh? Has the prime minister heard of this pavilion? Gongsun Yuting suddenly asked with interest.
"Ye once saw the record of this pavilion in a book, it is said to be a small pavilion that is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is rumored that it is a stone house where the Queen Mother of the West lived in a thousand years ago, and was later moved back to his Qi palace by the famous King of Qi at that time, but now he never thought that he would be in the Chu State" Ye Qiuke's eyes were shining, and he looked around for a long time.
"The prime minister is really still the same as when he was young, he loves to collect the world's documents, and he is knowledgeable, but this king is ugly" Gongsun Yuting led Ye Qiuke to sit down and personally poured him a glass of wine.
"The King of Chu really likes to joke, if the King of Chu doesn't have extraordinary knowledge, how can he move the Yueru Pavilion to his palace?" Ye Qiuke said humbly and politely, first made a southern salute, and then drank with Gongsun Yuting.
Since Ye Qiuke entered the palace in the morning, Gongsun Yuting threw away all the official documents of the day, and specially ordered, don't look for him if you have nothing to do, go to Zhilan Hall to find the queen mother, he himself accompanied Ye Qiuke to drink wine for a long time, and only called Gong'e to send wine a few times on the way, no one knows what they have, but the hearty laughter of the Yue Ruge Pavilion has not stopped.
Since the birth of the ninth princess, Ouyang Yu, who has not stepped out of the Zhilan Palace for half a step, can be said to be stuffy, it is rare that this month is almost over, and she is idly becoming a female celebrity, but today she is looking for herself one after another, and even the affairs of the court have been passed to her.
