In the evening, the sunset is purple, and the red silk in the Xiyu Palace is intertwined, and the music is sounded, and a thick and colorful picture is unveiled in front of everyone's eyes.

In the Xiyu Palace, the three princes and nine kings of the Chu State all came here with their families to attend the banquet, and the twelve beauties of the harem of the queen of Chu also came in full costumes.

The twelve beauties played well with Xiao En, and Shu'er was also idle during the banquet. Xiao En is smart and clever, and she is very favored by the King of Chu, and she has learned a lot of rules from her mother, and the twelve beauties pity her even more for being trapped in the Chu Palace like a hostage, and she is not allowed to meet the "Song King Daddy" in her mouth, so everyone is very good to Xiao En. Recently, Xiao En's uncle Dongfang was proud of the military exploits of the Chu State stationed in Chushui, and everyone looked at her uncle's face and pampered and obeyed her even more.

Shu'er doesn't want her daughter to wander around and be mediocre like she was when she was a child. Now living in Chu Palace, enjoying incomparably rich honor and favor, and being able to invite a famous teacher like Lin Ying to study and learn art, is the best life that Shu'er can give Xiao En at present.

With such a big banquet, the king of Chu was as late as ever, as if he was busy with state affairs, and he seemed to deliberately show his identity. Shu'er knew that in private, Dongfang Shou always came to Linjiang from Anyi to visit him, and Lin Ying never came late to meet him because of state affairs, but waited for Dongfang Shou as if he wanted to wear it. The two have a very pleasant personal relationship, and often go to Chu Water to take a canopy boat through the cover of Shu'er, drink and talk. And for Dongfang's wedding banquet, Lin Ying must be rude and late because of her identity, so that in the eyes of everyone, she will not think that the king of Chu relies too much on this new king of Anyi.

But what everyone can't figure out is why the king of Chu took the initiative to let Gongzi return to the Xiyu Palace in Linjiang Chu Palace to get married? Xiyu Palace is the residence of the princes of Chu in the past dynasties. The ministers admonished, but the king of Chu ignored it. And why didn't Gongzi ask without asking, so he directly agreed to marry the wife that the King of Chu secretly chose for him? The ministers were tempted, and the prince ignored them. Could it be that the king of Chu and the prince are really ignoring their past suspicions? The ministers were puzzled and could not be understood.

Shu'er always felt that in the past few years, Lin Ying's life has been really tiring, every step and every word must be exquisitely designed, and even his eyes can't stay in one place, for fear that others will see his preferences and find out his thoughts, and the best strategy is to let others can't help but keep guessing but can't guess his mind.

The king of Chu and the hundred officials sat on one side, and the female dependents sat on the other side, separated by a long red carpet, and entered the main hall from the palace gate. Dongfang and his wife slowly walked on the red carpet, entered the palace to exchange husband and wife salutes, and knelt down to worship heaven and earth together, and worshiped the king of Chu from afar. When worshipping their relatives, the two first worshiped the tablets of their husband's parents, which were the positions of Dongfang Yu and Lin Long, and then the parents of his wife's family, which were the tablets of King Chen Li Chen and the former Queen of Chen Lin Huan.

It turned out that the wife that the king of Chu found for his son was the former princess of Chen State, Li Su. Although Dongfang and Li Su are slightly wrong in generation, they are of the same age, and they are close to each other, and for everyone, they are a first-class marriage. This marriage, enmity and enmity, and the release of previous suspicions, made the ministers of Chu feel that the king of Chu is brilliant and the son is lucky.

After the ceremony, the bride enters the dormitory, and the groom goes to the banquet.

Dongfang first toasted the wine of the king of Chu, and then toasted the sister Dongfang Shujiu, and then toasted the three princes and nine kings one by one. The three princes and nine kings praised Gongzi for his civil and military skills, and Gongzi thanked the King of Chu for ignoring his previous suspicions, and expressed his hope that the monarchs and ministers of Chu would be united in their efforts to prosper the society and settle the people's livelihood.

During the banquet, hundreds of officials came to pay tribute to the East and drank wine, but he drank and talked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes and the hundred swords with a person who was not good-looking, that person was not the king of Chu, but the people of the rivers and lakes invited by his own post, and he was the first person in the Zhuge family today.

Everyone was relieved to see that Gongzi was worried about the rivers and lakes and did not deal with the officials.

Time flies.

Zhuge got up and saluted Dongfang in vain: "It's not early, so I have to leave in front of the locked palace door." ”

Dongfang chou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I just hope that the palace gate can lock you here." When I was in Anyi, how many letters I wrote to you, you just didn't come to see me. I fought with the Song army a while ago, if you come to help me, maybe you can get a few cities in the Song Kingdom! But you always can't push, and I can only tempt you to come and see me on the grounds of marriage. ”

Zhuge said apologetically: "Zhuge Clan's business still has to be taken care of, I am not a piece of business material, I only hope that diligence can make up for my clumsiness and live up to the trust of my benefactor, so I can't serve Dongfang Gongzi for the time being." Childe is invincible, and there is no need to talk about it for the time being. ”

Dongfang raised his eyebrows: "When I need you, can you help me?" ”

Zhuge didn't answer and asked: "Doesn't the prince know the friendship between the Zhuge clan and the Dongfang clan?" ”

Dongfang nodded shou: "I naturally know this, we share hardships and hardships, and we have a hundred years of friendship." In that case, I'll let you spend a little more time on the rivers and lakes! It's just that you don't just care about making money for your Zhuge family, and you missed the swordsmanship we practiced together. ”

Zhuge talked and saluted again: "Talking vainly, I wish the prince and the bride harmony and beauty." Talk about it and take your leave. ”

Shu'er sat in the distance, and when she saw the scene of the two saying goodbye to each other, she kept looking over there. Zhuge was aware of it, but because of the etiquette, he couldn't look at the maids of the Chu Palace, so he stopped his departure for a moment, which was regarded as a farewell to Shu'er.

Seeing this, the hundred officials and their families left on their own. The twelve beauties of the harem also returned to the palace separately, each waiting for the king of Chu to be happy after drinking.

The fireflies are shining, and the stars are shining. The huge Xiyu Palace banquet, in the blink of an eye, only Lin Ying, Dongfang Chu, Shu'er and Shu'er were left sleeping soundly in their arms.

Dongfang Chu had long known Lin Ying's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "I'll go to the cave room to spend candles, and you will continue to feast." So he threw himself away.

Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and said while drinking: "Sister Shu'er, we can finally talk well." In the past few years, I have seen the grievances of you who reluctantly stayed in the Chu Palace for the sake of Xiao En.

I'm glad you can always trust me.

I had a lot to say to you, but on this cool summer night and the smell of wine, I suddenly felt that it was useless to say more. Anyway, in Zhaohuang Palace, you know my helplessness.

At this time, the orange grove in Yu Lingsheng's palace is probably about to be harvested. When I finish cleaning up the Song Kingdom, I will take you to Yuling to pick oranges.

After picking the oranges, I will take a detour to buy you and Xiao En a dress of Xianhu snow silk, and ask for the latest tricks.

In autumn, the ginkgo biloba leaves in Zhaohuang Palace are really beautiful, but I heard that the autumn scenery in Kyushu is in Xiling. I haven't been to Xiling for too many years, and I've never seen the autumn scenery of Xiling. Let's go to Xiling to enjoy the autumn, and then go to Fanjing to watch the snow. Xiao En grew up by another year. ”

Shu'er looked at the daughter in her arms and said calmly, "Maybe I've been too obsessed with giving Xiao En double what I didn't get when I was a child. You don't say it, but I almost forgot that Xiao En has never seen the scenery outside the Chu Palace. And I didn't take her to see it, probably because I didn't dare to see it anymore.

The king of Shu built two tombs on the top of the peerless peak. He himself wanted to be the first in the world, and the position of the peerless peak should have been reserved for himself, but he was buried on the side of the bluestone platform of Yihui Shu Palace. Yi Shu Palace...... Xiao En should have taken a look, but unfortunately it had already burned down.

If Fanjing was as lively as it was back then, Xiao En should also go and take a look, but King Zhao renamed Fanjing Wucheng, I'm afraid it would also be a depression there. ”

Lin Ying looked at Shu'er's increasingly thin face, sighed lightly, and said: "Xiao En has not seen the prosperity of the past, so she will not feel desolate and desolate today, she will only see the rise after the ruin, the bustle after the desolation." ”
