Shu'er has been sleeping lightly recently, and it dawns early in summer, so she got up and drank a few sips of water, and then practiced swords in the small courtyard of Dongfang Mansion. The Huaiwang sword that she used very easily had been given to Zhuge Congrong after the Qingshitai competition, and now the sword in her hand is another Meng Lin sword hidden by the king of Shu.

She first warmed up with the simplest Liuyun Sword, then practiced the Xuanyan Sword and the Qiushui Sword again, and finally practiced the most exquisite Wuyi Sword. Practicing a set of swordsmanship, in a trance, it seems that he can see Zhuge calmly. She knew that she missed him, thought about it at night, thought about it in her dreams, woke up, and still thought about it. Endless longing, for her, is not torture, but sweet.

Calmly, in the Mandarin Duck Hall of Yihui Palace, there are the monarchs of Wei, Shu and Qi as evidence, I am married to you. Since I am married to you, I want to always think about you and miss you all the time like I am now. Moreover, now that I have relatives and a home, I can be described as carefree and idle. I want to wake up early and think about you seriously, I want you to patiently teach me a set of swordsmanship, I want you to patiently teach me how to unlock the mechanisms in the ancient tomb of King Zhou, I want you to make me grilled fish, I want you to sail me on the East China Sea......

It is said that there are thoughts during the day and dreams at night. Only by seriously thinking about you during the day, at night, can I go to bed early and dream of you earlier.

Lin Ying said that I was a money-seeing, cunning like me, and never thought that I would become so stupid one day. But I like to be stupid, because I married you like this.

Shu'er was holding the sword in a daze, Dongfang Yu walked over to her and said, "Shu'er, what is your swordsmanship...... Taught you little, right? ”

Shu'er nodded. Although they had lived in Dongfang Mansion for several days, and although they had met a long time ago, she couldn't help but look at her father curiously.

She felt that her father was gentle, easy-going, and calm and wise in his conversation and laughter. Since her return, they have not recognized each other with a hug and crying father and daughter, nor have they talked too much. But she knew that her father had been observing her with curiosity, just as she had been observing him with curiosity.

Dongfang Yu took the sword in Shu'er's hand and said gently: "He taught very well." You haven't practiced internal skills, he can teach you to this extent, and he has done his best. ”

Shu'er lowered her head. Maybe it was because of her father's calm tone, or maybe it was because she knew that her father had watched Zhuge grow up calmly, and those things that she didn't want to confide in anyone about Fengyue, at this moment, in the small courtyard of the family in the early morning, she wanted to tell her father. Shu'er said frankly: "Dad, I married him without permission, even if you and my mother do not agree to our marriage, even if I choose to return to you and choose to leave him, I have never regretted it." In this life, I will never regret it. ”

Dongfang Yu looked at his daughter, who had been missing for many years, with pity, and said, "Dad understands. ”

Shu'er smiled tearfully and didn't explain more.

Dongfang Yu said: "Shu'er, your mother and I are both stubborn people, and your temperament can only be stubborn." In the past few days, although you have come back and brought us one 'generous gift' after another, my father can see that you are blaming your mother. Because of the small, but also because of the little Song King. ”

Shu'er sighed: "Mother is just doing her duty, and I understand." ”

Dongfang Yu said: "What your mother does, one by one, one by one, is all for the Chu State." When he murdered the princess of Qi State, your mother just carried out the order of his brother King Sheng, and this idea of separating King Song Huai and the Qiao clan of Song State was what I told King Sheng. If you want to blame, you shouldn't blame her. I should be blamed for all your disappointments. ”

Shu'er asked: "My mother temporarily wanted to poison King Song, was it also instructed by my father and King Sheng?" ”

Dongfang Yu nodded and said, "Actually, killing King Xiao Song was originally something that the three of us discussed many years ago. ”

"Many years, how many years?"

Dongfang Yu sighed: "How old your brother is, it's probably how many years." ”

"Thirteen years?"

Dongfang Yu said: "Fourteen years ago, my father went to the Song Palace under the pseudonym 'Fang Yu'. At that time, your mother delivered a message saying that she had lost you. When I received the news from your mother, I also happened to hear that the musicians of the Song Palace had sent people to the state of Chu to find someone who knew the ancient score of the Zhou Dynasty's lyre. I pretended to be a musician and went to the Song Palace. When I arrived at the Song Palace, I learned that it was the little Song King Liu who wanted to learn how to recognize the ancient scores. I will stay in the Song Palace as planned, teach the little Song King to read music and play the piano every day, and I can sneak to the Splendid Garden every day to visit your mother. ”

Shu'er was surprised: "So fourteen years ago, the church brother ...... Song Wang...... The musician who plays the lyre is Dad? ”

Dongfang Yu smiled helplessly: "Exactly." It was also at that time that your mother was pregnant again. I wanted to accompany your mother more in the Song Palace, but your mother asked me to help his brother win the heir and become the next king of Chu, so I could only leave in a hurry. After I left, the King of Xiao Song also sent someone to Chu to look for me, wanting to send a heavy apprenticeship gift, but how could Chu have a 'Fang Yu' person? How did he know that the musician who taught him to read music and play the piano was the same person who had been trying to kill him? ”

Shu'er was puzzled: "But my father and mother didn't kill him at the beginning." ”

Dongfang Yu said: "Because you are lost." Your mother said that the king of Xiao Song should be killed, killing him will benefit the Chu country without any harm, but killing him will do you a hundred harms to your mother, your father, and yourself. Your mother knows that the little Song King is doing her best to find you. In the past fourteen years, the Song Kingdom has been turned upside down by him. Your mother said that as long as he is still looking for you, we will spare his life. ”

Shu'er couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of Liu. She pleaded, "Dad, can you let King Song go?" When I was a child, my mother didn't tell me my life experience, so I always regarded King Song as my own brother. He was very kind to me when I was a child, and when we met again, he shielded me several times. He only wanted to govern the Song State well, and he never coveted the Chu State. Besides, Song and Chu have been friends for generations, and he has no reason to send troops to attack Chu. If you kill him, you can only make the Song State unstable, and what good will it do to the Chu State? ”

Dongfang Yu said: "Indeed, this time, that time. At that time, he was still young, and the power of the Song Dynasty was not actually in his hands at all. King Youwang is mediocre, the state of Chu is in danger, and those old ministers of the Song State who follow the legacy of King Wu of Song and want to unify Kyushu will inevitably not covet the country of Chu. Killing the little Song King can at least make the Song State turbulent for a few years and give the Chu State a chance to breathe. Later, he gradually grew up, not only held great power, but also governed the country in a way, and made the already powerful Song State even stronger. Once the Song State led the army to attack Chu, Chu Land could be instantly included in the territory of the Song State. Your mother stubbornly stayed in the Song Palace because she had to wait for the little Song King to find you back, and on the other hand, she had to prevent the Song State from sending troops to attack Chu. Once the Song Kingdom sends troops, your mother will immediately kill the little Song King. ”
