Chapter Forty-Three: Unexpected Affection
Zhou was called to the palace by the king because he knew that he had not reported the abuse and beating of the envoy, and confessed his mistake in public, and because he almost delayed the major affairs of his family and country, causing irreparable regret, so the king ordered him to be demoted and commuted, and he was imprisoned for three days for reflection.
When the princess translated these words to Wei Ying, Wei Ying hurriedly shook his head, and he said to the princess: "It's my fault that I lost the token, in fact, it's not a big mistake for Lord Zhou to be rigorous and thoughtful, it's just ......."
He scratched his head, and when he saw the princess looking at him, he said, "It's a bit old-fashioned...... The punishment can be punished, but the imprisonment is too serious, so it is better to reflect on it in the house. ”
The princess nodded, and passed his words to the king, who did as he said.
Wei Ying has never experienced such treatment since he was born, not to mention dining with the king, he also has to be translated by the princess, and the things on the table and on his body are all the best things.
The king thanked him and said that he wanted him to stay here for a few more days, Wei Ying originally didn't want to, because his sister and Lord Wang would be worried, but since the token had not been found, he had to stay.
If the token is really the king's as they say, then if someone else uses it to do something else, it will be doomed, so it must be found.
For this token, the entire capital was plunged into a frenzied search, but there was still no news for several days.
Wei Ying lives in the palace, because of the language barrier, the princess is the only one who can speak every day, and the princess is also a girl who likes to play, she is young and energetic, and she is not married.
The princess likes Da Yin's questions very much, from myths and stories to jokes, she has learned a little, and she can say a lot of simple things, but unfortunately Wei Ying hasn't read many books, some of Da Yin's folk tales, but Dawan's princess told him.
And here, he also learned that not all countries are internally peaceful like Dayin.
Although there are battles to be fought every year, the foreign army has almost never entered the land of Dayin, and their village is Dawan over a mountain, but their village has always been peaceful, at least he has grown up to such a big age, and has never encountered any war.
And Dawan, because he is in an awkward place and has a small land area, always has to try to establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries, but the countries surrounding this country are too many to bear the high amount of tribute and silver in the domestic treasury. Therefore, from time to time, there are people who want to annex this country, but fortunately, there are too many countries around, and once one of them moves, the others will swarm up, and they will not let any of them, but this country will maintain a strange balance, so it has always existed.
It's just that the wars are quite frequent, today we unite the east to fight the west, tomorrow we will unite the west to fight the east, and the princess who is close to her will become an enemy by accident, in short, the people are uneasy, the world is uncertain, the king is decadent and depressed, and the country is already duckweed in the wind, only relying on the last breath to hold on.
After hearing the princess's words, Wei Ying began to rejoice that he was born in Dayin, if he made a mistake, I am afraid he would not have the current stability. As a result, I also admired the prince who guarded the border even more, and admired the soldiers who defended the country even more.
Probably because the atmosphere was strange when this kind of thing was said, the princess took the initiative to change the topic.
Like Wei Ying, she expressed her love for her country, she said that she loved the land, the scenery, and the people of this country.
In order to let Wei Ying feel the scenery of Dawan, the princess took him to the Long River of Morning and Night.
The Long River is a river flowing in the desert, and the river is planted with patches of red willows, and at the end of the red willows is a whole pear forest. In spring, the ice and snow of the long river melt day and night, the red willow pulls branches, and the pear blossoms bloom, which is the most beautiful time of the long river.
The two of them sat by the long river and chatted, and the princess said to Wei Ying, "It's a pity he can't see it."
However, in just seven days, the two people are like old friends who have known each other for many years, and their relationship is visibly close. The princess never thought Wei Ying was a little silly and upright, he liked to see the kind of hard work that he would never give up without climbing the tree and taking down the kite, she took Dawan's liquor and taught Wei Ying to ride a horse.
As a result, Wei Ying drunkenly rode into the oasis forest, which was forbidden to people, for which the two of them were criticized by the king, and then they were much more obedient.
The princess also has regrets about Wei Ying, she wants Wei Ying to hand her over to write Chinese characters, but Wei Ying won't.
Therefore, Wei Ying decided to go home and study hard and be a man who can write and read poetry.
Half a month later, the token still hasn't been recovered, but Wei Ying has to leave, he has to go home to report the incident, otherwise his family may be anxious.
After expressing his fears, the king promised to send him home the next day.
That night, the two of them sat at the door of the room drinking and chatting, this time the princess said very little, but Wei Ying said a lot.
He told the princess about the red maple in the East Mountain, the blue river at the foot of the mountain, and the ten miles of peach blossoms in spring. also said that his sister, said that the sister-in-law in the village, and said that the big cow who hurt his head but would save people and heal his injuries.
originally thought that after saying goodbye this time, Wei Ying didn't expect that when he was about to set off on the second day, the princess would go with him.
She said she was going to see the red maple and blue river in Dayin, and now was the right time.
Wei Ying was frightened, thinking that the princess was crazy, and hurriedly ran to report to the king, but the king said that he had specially allowed it, and by the way, Wei Ying was loosened.
Wei Ying thought in a trance at that moment that he had been hit by the luck of life, and he was so happy that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and it was then that he learned that the princess's name was Ainur.
It means moonshine.
The king patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ainur has only been going for three days, and for these three days, please take care of her, and I want to give her the last freedom." ”
Wei Ying didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but he promised the king that he would take good care of this princess.
After getting into the car, Wei Ying showed a different excitement, and he planned how to take the princess to play with only three days. The county is definitely going to go, you can see the red maple on the way back, and the Bihe River is actually the river not far from home, and it doesn't seem to be much to see.
Thinking of this, Wei Ying was a little worried, he was afraid that the princess would be disappointed.
When the princess saw that his expression was happy and sad for a while, she asked him why, and he had to answer truthfully.
The princess laughed at him, telling him not to be nervous, but in three days, and in three days she would go back.
Wei Ying nodded, and then said: "There is still a lot of time to come in the future, you can come in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in fact, winter is the most beautiful, I will prepare cotton clothes for you in advance." ”
The princess smiled and nodded, looked at him and said, "I'm looking forward to it." ”
More than half a month has passed in a trance for Wei Ying, and time is like a white horse passing by, and he even wonders if he has a beautiful dream. Dreamy and unreal, but when he saw the princess lying peacefully asleep, he felt that he was thinking too much.
When he looked down, he found that there was still a bruise on the back of his hand that had not gone away, and he thought that this might be the most worthwhile beating he had ever suffered in his life.
He has been in a trance these days, Wei Rui and Lord Wang are living the same, but he is happy and happy, but those two people are worried all day long.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have let my brother go!" Wei Rui began to mumble in the courtyard again, and Sister-in-law Cai patted her hand, "It's okay, your brother, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely come back." ”
Wei Rui was silent and didn't speak, she didn't care about these relationships at all before, everything was fine with money, but now after going through a lot, she paid more attention to her feelings. Besides, this time Wei Ying ran this trip completely because of her, and she felt a little guilty and blamed herself.
Lord Wang is the same, although he is still recuperating from his injuries, he tries to appear in front of Wei Rui as little as possible, otherwise Wei Rui will think of his brother as soon as he sees him.
Although he thought that nothing should happen, but everything had a contingency, in case he fell down the mountain, in case he was robbed by mountain bandits along the way, and in case he was killed in the capital, these were not impossible.
In short, these days, those who want to do business can't do business well, and those who should be injured can't be recuperated.
However, because the medicine was applied in time and dealt with quickly at that time, Lord Wang recovered quite well, and the injury on his leg was no longer a major problem, and he could walk normally, but the shoulder was more serious, and he couldn't lift his arm at present.
That afternoon, after lunch, Wei Rui and Sister-in-law Cai were planning a marriage agency in the courtyard.
The three of them sat at the table and chatted, trying to avoid Wei Ying's topic, talking about something that they didn't have. It was also under such circumstances that Lord Wang finally relented and said that he was willing to invest in Wei Rui.
Wei Rui suspected that he was too guilty to agree, but it was better to agree than not to agree, but half an hour after Lord Wang said this, Wei Ying appeared at the door with the princess's carriage.
The three people in the courtyard watched Wei Ying get out of the car, and the beauty of Hella in their hands was all stunned on the spot.
Until, the woman walked straight to Lord Wang, bowed slightly and said in the courtesy and language of Da Yin: "Ainur has seen the prince. ”
Wei Rui's face was full of question marks.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ying also walked over, knelt down in front of Lord Wang and said, "The grass people have seen the prince. ”
Lord Wang glanced at Wei Rui embarrassedly, and then said, "Don't be polite, get up." ”
Wei Rui stood in the distance, rubbed his temples with his fingers with some irritability, and then said to Lord Wang: "It doesn't matter who you are, I can't take care of you now!" ”
After speaking, she rushed straight to Wei Ying, and said with a crying voice: "Brother, you are finally back!" ”
Wei Ying didn't expect Wei Rui to react so much, thinking that she had been playing there for half a month, and her sister had been worried for so long, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty and hurriedly apologized.
Seeing that there were many people in the yard and couldn't figure it out, Sister-in-law Cai casually said goodbye and turned to leave.
The attendants who followed the princess took down the things that the princess was in the car one by one and placed them in the yard, Wei Rui hugged Wei Ying and didn't let go, she wanted to cry so much.
And Ainur, who was standing next to him, asked the prince, "Who is this?" ”
