Chapter 5 The concubine is ruthless
After the court meeting, Chu Wangwei and Taibao stood side by side and stepped out of the Taiji Hall together, followed by a large group of courtiers from their respective factions.
Chu Wangwei glanced at Wei Qi, who was following behind Wei Qian, and suddenly laughed and said: "Wei Taibao, so that Sun Weiqi is young and promising, he is already a general of the Central Protector Army at a young age, and he is in charge of the forbidden army with Gu." ”
Although Chu Wangwei and Wei Qian and others looked at each other angrily in the Taiji Palace, they quarreled fiercely. But after getting out of the court, the two of them are still harmonious, at least on the surface, this bit of work must be done in place.
Wei Qian scolded secretly, although Wei Qi is nominally in charge of the forbidden army with you. But everyone knows that only one of the Central Protectors can be mobilized by Wei Qi's subordinates. If it weren't for the old man's desperate fight today, I'm afraid that even the Central Protector Army would not be able to move. And you, Chu Wangwei, are also the marquis of the Northern Army, but you have more than 100,000 forbidden troops under your command, how can you be compared?!
However, his grandson Wei Qi himself is also extremely satisfied, although he is not like the rest of the family is from the literature, but he is also mixed in the forbidden army, and he has long won the reputation of the god of war of the forbidden army. Thinking like this, Wei Qian's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and said, "King Chu has won the award." Speaking of young and promising, it is necessary to belong to Prince Ting. Prince Ting shined in the battle of Diqiang, and even the old man couldn't help but applaud after hearing about it! ”
Sima Ting listened to the two of them smiling faces, you and I talked to each other sentence by sentence, and followed behind Chu Wangwei and walked down the one hundred and ten steps of the Taiji Palace. Suddenly, I saw a sedan chair on the right slowly coming this way, and when I looked at it, it was Princess Qinghe sitting on it!
Sima Ting was shocked when he saw this, lowered his face without a face, and hid behind Chu Wangwei, secretly complaining in his heart, how could it be so coincidental that he met Princess Qinghe?! Wouldn't she have been hiding aside a long time ago, watching the end of the court, so it's a good time to have a coincidence, right?
"Huh?" I only heard a soft sound from Tai Baowei, and then turned his head to look at Sima Ting, who was hiding behind Chu Wangwei, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Isn't this Princess Qinghe?" ”
Chu Wangwei heard Wei Qian's ridicule, and also turned his head to look at Sima Ting, only to see that he was hiding behind him and didn't dare to raise his head, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, flicked his sleeves, and snorted heavily.
"Fall!" Over there, Princess Qinghe also seemed to have noticed a group of courtiers coming down here, and immediately dropped the sedan chair, only to see a palace maid running in front of them and respectfully said: "I have seen the prince of Chu, Wei Taibao and all the ministers." The princess said, "Please go first." ”
Chu Wangwei and Wei Qian stopped, looked at each other and smiled, and said, "It's better for Her Royal Highness the Princess to go first." ”
"This ......" The palace maid seemed to be a little embarrassed, and ran back to Princess Qinghe's palanquin to ask for instructions.
Then, I saw Princess Qinghe step down from the sedan chair, walked in front of Chu Wangwei and others, bowed slightly, and said, "I have seen the prince of Chu, Wei Taibao and all the adults." A pair of resentful eyes stared straight at Sima Ting, who was hiding behind Chu Wangwei.
Chu Wangwei and the others hurriedly returned the salute: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Princess Qinghe nodded blankly, but she still looked at Sima Ting intently.
Chu Wangwei frowned slightly when he saw it, so he had to cough lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, let's go over first." ”
Princess Qinghe heard Chu Wangwei talking to her, so she had to withdraw her gaze from Sima Ting's body, fell on Chu Wangwei, shook her head and said: "The prince of Chu and others are working hard for the country, so naturally the ministers should go over first." As he spoke, he moved the lotus step lightly and stood aside.
Chu Wangwei was only afraid that something would go wrong, but this time he didn't give in again, thanked him, and passed past Qinghe. Sima Ting followed behind Chu Wangwei, but he never looked up at Qinghe from beginning to end, looking weak-hearted, like a negative man who had been abandoned from the beginning to the end.
Princess Qinghe stood aside, looking at Sima Ting who was mixed with the courtiers, tears rolling in her eyes. How can this enemy be so ruthless! When I heard that he would enter the palace today, I tried my best to come over to see her, but who knew that he didn't even look up at himself! In this way, it is better to marry the prince Yuwen Xianbei Yuwenqiu who is not diligent!
Looking at Sima Ting, who was walking farther and farther, Qinghe finally couldn't help the longing in his heart, and shouted: "King Chu, please stay!" As he spoke, he hurried after him.
Sima Ting originally felt a pair of resentful eyes burning his back, and he was already uncomfortable. Now when I heard Princess Qinghe call her father, she must have come for herself, and she couldn't help but cry bitterly in her heart.
Chu Wangwei heard Princess Qinghe stop him, so he had to stop, saw Princess Qinghe walking quickly in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Does Her Royal Highness the Princess have any orders?" ”
Princess Qinghe looked at the civil and military ministers in front of her, all of whom looked at her with a smile, her face flushed, she opened her mouth, and stopped talking.
Tai Baowei looked funny, laughed, and said to Chu Wangwei: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has something to do with the prince of Chu, then I will take the first step." With that, he took the patriarch and left.
In the Chu department, I saw Princess Qinghe chasing after her, I don't know what it was for, and now I saw Wei Taibao leading people away, and they also retired to the king of Chu, and after a while, only the two brothers Chu Wangwei, Zhou Chu and Sima Ting were left here.
Sima Ting's eyes rolled, he smiled, and also saluted to Chu Wang Wei: "Father! Erchen also took the first step. Saying that, he picked up his second brother Sima Ji and was about to flee.
When Princess Qinghe saw that Sima Ting wanted to slip away, she was in a hurry, so she blurted out: "Lord Chu, this palace wants to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Ting." ”
After Sima Ting heard this, he just stepped out and stopped, with a wry smile on his face.
Chu Wangwei glanced at Sima Ting, and said to Princess Qinghe with a pleasant face: "Since the princess has a life...... then he made a face and said in a deep voice: "That old seven!" And thou shalt stay with the princess...... Well, talk! After speaking, he took Zhou and Sima Ji away.
Sima Ting looked at the second brother following the King of Chu, turning around and smirking at him as he walked, feeling helpless for a while.
Slowly turned around, arched his hand towards Princess Qinghe and said, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Qinghe looked at Sima Ting very respectfully, and his heart was sour, and he said quietly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ting, please get up." ”
Sima Ting raised his head, looked at Qinghe, who was radiant half a year ago, and now looked a little haggard, and sighed lightly: "Your Highness Xie." ”
Qinghe looked at Sima Ting and said softly, "Can His Royal Highness the Prince accompany me for a walk?" ”
"This, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" Sima Ting wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Princess Qinghe's eyes were instantly filled with tears, and when she was about to take her eyes out, she immediately changed her words and said: "But the princess has a life, how dare she not obey!" ”
Qinghe was amused by Sima Ting and laughed out loud, and said coquettishly: "You guy, you will bully me." ”
Sima Ting laughed dryly twice after hearing this, but he didn't know how to reply.
Qinghe sighed lightly and said, "Let's go." ”
"......" Sima Ting responded weakly, and accompanied Qinghe to the princess to stroll.
Princess Qinghe tilted her head, stared at Sima Ting's handsome face, and suddenly said, "Prince Yuwen Xianbei proposed to his father for me." But I refused. ”
Sima Ting glanced at Princess Qinghe, and said weakly: "Oh......"
Princess Qinghe smiled, took a deep breath, and said to the sky: "I don't want to marry Prince Yuwen Xianbei, I still have to wait for someone to marry me in two and a half years." ”
Sima Ting was startled, but he didn't expect that he would say casually at that time, this Princess Qinghe still remembers. In addition to secretly screaming in my heart, I was also a little proud, look at it! This princess Qinghe, who is like a flower and jade, and everyone is rushing to ask for it, but her heart is tied to this prince.
However, Sima Ting was still unwilling to accept Princess Qinghe's affection, just because the figure of the goddess of Naluo in the palace banquet that day was deeply engraved in his mind, lingering, making him often think about it at night and toss and turn.
Looking at Princess Qinghe's determined eyes, he suddenly felt how despicable and shameless he was to deceive this simple princess like this! What if Princess Qinghe really waited for him for three years?
Ay...... Long pain, not as good as short pain!
Sima Ting stopped, looked solemnly at Princess Qinghe, and said softly, "Your Royal Highness the Princess." The minister has one thing to ask for......"
Princess Qinghe was very happy when she saw that Sima Ting was willing to take the initiative to talk to her, and hurriedly said: "Say it, as long as you say it, I will definitely promise you." ”
Sima Ting took a deep look at Qinghe's eyes full of joy, and suddenly felt that he couldn't say decisive cruel words, but he thought that if he really delayed Princess Qinghe's youth for three years because of his perfunctory words, what should he do?!
Thinking of this, Sima Ting's heart was crossed, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister wants to say that Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood. At that time, the minister was young and ignorant, and what he said about the three-year covenant was just perfunctory, and he never thought that the princess would believe it. The Minister hereby apologizes to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Kneeling on one knee as he spoke, he continued: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a beautiful country, like a flower and jade, there must be many young talents who fall for the princess, and you will definitely be able to find a wishful husband in the future, why bother thinking about Sima Ting?" Sima Ting is just an inconspicuous drop of water in the vast sea, and he really doesn't dare to expect it...... What I want to ask His Highness is to let His Highness forget Sima Ting......" After saying that, he stood up, no longer looked at Princess Qinghe, turned around and strode out of the palace.
Qinghe never thought that what Sima Ting was going to say turned out to be...... A heart shattered in an instant. The beautiful face was also full of tears, looking at Sima Ting's back farther and farther away, his body was weak, and he fainted.
