Chapter 340: Infamy (I)
When she returned to the White Jade Palace for the third time, Shu'er only felt like a dream.
Liu knew that Shu'er's thoughts were chaotic, so he held Shu'er's hand all the way, for fear that she would accidentally slip and hurt the child in her womb. Shu'er let Liu lead, and the two walked slowly in the long alley, silent for a long time. The few people from the Song Palace behind him also seemed to be holding their breath, very quiet and extremely careful.
Looking at the familiar pavilions, Shu'er finally couldn't help but choke up and said, "Liu, do you know......"
Liu looked at Shu'er, and when he saw her hanging her head slightly, two tears fell quietly, so he gently tightened his hand and listened quietly
"When I first returned to the White Jade Palace, I thought I would recognize you and then be the princess of the Song Kingdom again. Unfortunately not. When I came back for the second time, I thought that King Qi would hold a grand ceremony for me to become the queen of Qi. Unfortunately, there is none.
Coming back this time, I didn't know what I wanted to do.
But that's fine. Anyway, what I want to do, I can't always do. ”
Shu'er sighed and stopped talking.
Liu Dao: "Shu'er, since you came back with me, I will definitely not treat you badly." What's the big deal with the princess of Song and the queen of Qi? If you nod your head, I will immediately crown you the queen of Song. Your little grace is my first child. Whether it's the eldest son or the eldest princess, I will never let Xiao En suffer the slightest grievance. ”
Shu'er had tears in her eyes, smiled coldly, and pointed to the two beauties of the Song Palace who were walking towards them in the distance: "There is already a queen in the Song Kingdom, and I don't want to rob other people's things." ”
Liu looked at the two women who were gradually approaching expressionlessly, and did not lower his voice: "Who the queen of the Song Kingdom is, it is up to the King of Song to decide." ”
At this time, Qiao and Ling Zi walked in front of King Song and saluted: "Welcome Your Highness!" ”
Before Liu could say the word "free courtesy", Qiao first opened his mouth and said to Shu'er: "The queen of Qi has a tired journey, I don't know where to rest in the palace?" The Splendid Garden, Suhua Palace, and Qihe Palace have all been taken care of by the Queen of Qi, and they are at the mercy of the Queen of Qi. ”
Shu'er rolled her eyes, the tears in her eyes had dried, and she said to Qiao: "Queen Song is really a noble person who forgets things. Before the death of the king of Qi, he did not hold a ceremony to seal the queen, I am only the king of Anyi of the state of Chu, not the queen of Qi. It stands to reason that the queens of the two countries should be on an equal footing, if I am really the queen of Qi, you don't need to salute me, but you don't know that the king of Anyi, who holds 100,000 elite soldiers of the Chu State, is more than the unarmed queen of Song...... Who should bow to whom? ”
Qiao looked at Liu, and was pondering the cold expression, so he only heard Shu'er say: "Okay, this king is not as familiar as a harem woman." Then he made a hasty salute, "King Anyi of Chu State, after meeting the Queen of Song." Glancing at Ling Zi again, "I've seen Ling Meiren." ”
Qiao and Ling Zi were just about to raise their hands to return the salute, but they saw Shu'er smiling again, and hid a knife in their smiles: "Queen Song asked this king which palace in the White Jade Palace he wanted to settle down to rest, and this king is very grateful to the queen for taking care of it, so he naturally wants to choose the palace that the queen takes care of best, so as not to waste the queen's thoughts." Therefore, this king went to the 'Pavilion of Dreams' to rest. ”
Shu'er walked forward, Qiao was still standing in the middle of the long alley, stopping in front of Shu'er, and his tone was unpleasant: "Bumeng Pavilion is His Highness's bedroom. King Anyi of Chu lived in the palace of King Song, I'm afraid it's not suitable for reason, right? ”
Shu'er chuckled a few times and said, "It doesn't matter if it's inappropriate or unreasonable, it's okay to be suitable for His Royal Highness King Song." Then he turned his head and said coquettishly: "Liu, it's not like I haven't lived in your Dream Pavilion." I lived when I was a female rebel in the Qi Kingdom, but I couldn't live when I was the king of Anyi in the Chu Kingdom? ”
Qiao looked Shu'er's plain white dress up and down, and said, "During the mourning period of King Qi, you are still wearing a vegetarian dress for your husband, how can you bring bad luck into His Highness's bedroom?" ”
Shu'er took half a step back, took Liu's hand again, and smiled charmingly: "After the king of Song, when this king arrives in the Pavilion of Bumeng, he will naturally fade all the plain white clothes on his body. Moreover, this king is already pregnant with your highness's child, and there is only joy, so why is there bad luck? He winked at Liu again, "His Royal Highness King Song, what do you say?" ”
Liu pulled Shu'er away from Qiao and Ling Zi, walked straight forward, and said, "Let's go and say hello to grandma and queen mother first." ”
Shu'er broke away from Liu's hand, still with a smile on her face: "Grandma? Queen mother? Liu, when you and I were separated in the bazaar in the southern city of the jade capital, who sent someone to abduct me and ruthlessly threw me into the jade river, you won't find out until today, right? ”
Liu was stunned, and Shu'er had already smiled: "Say hello to them?" If I don't kill them, I'll already have the greatest peace I can ask them for. Yourself please! I went to the Bumeng Pavilion to freshen up and change clothes. ”
Liu sighed: "I'll send you to the Bumeng Pavilion first." So he took Shu'er's cold hand again.
Shu'er asked loudly: "Your Highness, isn't it afraid that others will say that you are bewitched by a demon girl, and you don't even want your grandmother, mother, and wife?" ”
Liu didn't pause for a moment, and still led Shu'er towards the Dreamless Pavilion. "When I have never done a bad thing, the people of the world have already scolded me as a treacherous and wicked person, and what else do I want to do 'Five ** Alliance to Fight Song'. What's more, I, Liu, have long been confused by you Dongfang Shu, are I still afraid of what others will say? I just offended everyone, even you, and I dare to do it, and I don't need to argue with half a sentence. ”
Shu'er glanced at Liu with disdain and stopped talking to him.
The two walked into the Bumeng Pavilion, and Liu immediately instructed the palace people to fetch food for Shu'er, but Shu'er said to Liu: "I won't eat alone, lest the villains poison me." Three meals a day, plus snacks and refreshments, I will eat with you. You test me for poison. ”
Liu led Shu'er to the couch and said gently: "Whatever you want to eat, I can cook it for you myself." If you are still not at ease, I will send someone to the State of Chu to ask your henchmen to take care of you. ”
Shu'er sat on the couch and looked up at Liu with a smile: "My henchman is Lin Ying, the king of Chu." Can you bring him in? ”
Liu raised his eyebrows: "If he can cook, what does it matter if I invite him with a letter of national information ten times that of the imperial chef of the Song Palace?" ”
Shu'er smiled: "He can only memorize the names and recipes of the dishes, and he can't cook." Liu, although your cooking is unpalatable, I can trust you. You can cook my food for me. ”
Liu couldn't help but reach out to stroke Shu'er's sideburns, and said softly: "I'll go and say hello to my grandmother and queen mother first, and then I'll cook for you immediately." What do you want to eat? ”
Shu'er let Liu pin her broken hair behind her ears, and said softly: "I love to eat whatever you do." ”
Liu couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and his fingertips stopped at Shu'er's sideburns, lingering.
