Chapter Seventy-Four: Wanzhou
Wanzhou is located in the middle of Chu State, and is an important hub connecting the east and west of Chu State, which is very prosperous.
Huaishui flows through the city of Wanzhou, cutting it into two parts, and there are stone and wood bridges scattered on the river, which is very chic.
Ben came to Wanzhou, Hua Xiangrong could part ways with Nangong Xu, but tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nangong Xu didn't let them go, and insisted on pulling them for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Hua Xiangrong was really reluctant, but she couldn't help it.
When he arrived in Wanzhou this time, Nangong Xu did not go to the inn like before, but went to the prefect of Wanzhou. The prefect of Wanzhou had already arranged two first-class wings, and they could move in when they arrived.
With Nangong Xu's face, Hua Xiangrong also became the prefect's guest.
In fact, every time they arrived in a city, the officials in charge of the city would come out to greet them, but Nangong Xu never "appreciated his face", just because the prefect of Wanzhou and Nangong Xu's mother had some kinship, and they were urged to come in a hurry.
"Childe, the queen has been sending someone to pass on the book, saying that I think you are thinking about it tightly, and I wanted Childe to hurry back to Yingdu so that he could celebrate the festival with his mother, but who knew that he was delayed on the road for so many days......"
"Okay, okay, I know," Nangong Xu interrupted the prefect's words and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I finally came out, what's wrong with playing for a few more days?" My father didn't say anything, so you told my queen mother that I would go back in a few days. ”
"Yes, yes......" The prefect laughed and followed him into the prefect's mansion.
Hua Xiangrong was choked.
The only person in the world who dares to speak to the queen of Chu like this is probably the ninth prince of Chu State.
The queen of Chu had two sons, one was the eldest son Nangong Yan, and the second son Nangong Xu. In the rumors of the outside world, Nangong Yan is much more mature and stable than Nangong Xu, if nothing else, the throne of this Chu State will be passed on to this eldest son in the future.
But no matter what, Nangong Xu will not suffer. The two brothers are harmonious, and Nangong Yan also loves him very much, the only younger brother. In the state of Chu, Nangong Xu is truly a collection of thousands of favors.
Today's weather is also a little more poisonous.
Hua Xiangrong pushed open the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Even though it's in the mansion, the view from this mansion is also very nice. There are a lot of rockery flowers and trees, and the layout is ingenious, which makes people think that they are in the outside world, and it can be seen that the person who designed this design has put a lot of effort into it.
Midsummer has passed, the weather has not eased a little, and the sun is still spicy. If you were in Yuanji, the weather would have cooled down by now.
She pursed her lips.
The weather is getting colder, and Grandpa Huang is going to be cold in Yuanji again.
In the middle of summer, grandpa has to wear a heavy leather jacket, not to mention the cold, the most unbearable. In the past, when she was there, she could go and pick up dead branches to make a fire for her grandfather, but now that she is gone, what would grandpa do.
She really wanted to go back to Yuanji, but Chu was too far away from Yuanji, not to mention that her grandfather asked her to come out, so she went back like this alone, for fear that she would make her grandfather angry.
She shook her head, straightened up, and tried to close the window.
But when her hand touched the window, her movements paused.
It seems like......
Liu Zheng also has cold disease.
Cold disease is rare, and Hua Xiangrong doesn't know the cause of this disease, she asked her grandfather, but her grandfather refused to tell her.
Could it be that Liu Zheng and Grandpa Huang have the same cause of illness?
In her memory, Liu Zheng when she was a child seemed to be free of this disease.
He was born.
Perhaps, the next time you see him, you can ask him.
Hua Xiangrong closed the window.
No sooner had she come back to the table than there was a knock on the door, "Girl, are you there?" ”
"Yes," Hua Xiangrong said to the door, "what's the matter?" ”
"The Ninth Prince sent the slave family to tell you, tomorrow night the son invited you to put the lights, please come when you come." The woman outside the house said softly.
Put the lights??
"Okay, I got it."
She replied to the door.
Put the lights? What is he going to do?
Nangong Xu wants to put the lights, doesn't he want to and promise to put the lights? What did you invite her to do?
She was puzzled when she heard someone outside the window: "He invited you, it must be because he invited the promise, and if the promise didn't agree, he came to you, and if you went, the promise naturally went." ”
Hua Xiangrong figured it out in an instant.
She laughed, walked over and opened the window, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's boring in this mansion, can't I come to you to play?" Xiao Zi said, "What were you looking at in front of this window just now?" ”
"It's nothing, just take a look, I'm bored." Hua Xiangrong replied.
"The scenery of Wanzhou is also very beautiful, don't you want to go out and have a look?" Xiao Zirang asked.
Hua Xiangrong smiled and said, "I'm just passing by, and I'm not here to see the scenery, so I'm not going." ”
Xiao Zirang shook the bone fan in his hand and didn't say anything.
"Nangong Xu is really well-born." When the two were silent, Hua Xiangrong suddenly spoke.
Xiao Zirang had doubts in her heart, waiting for her to continue.
"Born in the royal family, he is the son of the king of Chu, loved by his father and queen mother, and taken care of by his brother, how many people can't ask for all this." She put her hand against the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and propped her head up.
Xiao Zirang laughed and said softly, "Indeed." ”
"It's just that this Chu throne has nothing to do with him." Hua Xiangrong said again.
"It shouldn't have been his." Xiao Zirang thought for a while and answered, "Just because this throne won't be his, he can now be so loved by King Chu." ”
Because if he is the heir to the throne, then he can't be so easy and worry-free, and the king of Chu is more strict with him.
Hua Xiang was silent.
She naturally knew that she didn't want this throne just by looking at Nangong Xu. Perhaps he himself understood it in his own heart, and enjoyed all this with peace of mind. Even if his brother is on the throne, then he will be carefree and have no worries about food and clothing in his life, and it is certain that he will be crowned with a shadow.
"It's just that the extremes of things must be reversed, and when the moon is full, it will be lost." Xiao Zirang said suddenly.
Hua Xiangrong was stunned.
"What do you mean?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Literally." Xiao Zi said, "He is too stable, maybe in the future, he will have some unexpected suffering." ”
"How is that possible?" Hua Xiangrong said, "In his life, he has already seen the end, even if it is not his brother who inherits the throne, this position is also his, either the title or the shadow seal, is there a third kind?" ”
"If he really inherits the throne, then he will not be stable in this life." Xiao Zirang smiled, "Do you think the lord of a country is very good?" It's just a shade seal, but I'm afraid that the shade seal is not stable. ”
"What are you talking about?" Hua Xiangrong was a little angry and said, "Can you talk nonsense like this?" ”
Although she felt that Nangong Xu was a little annoyed, his nature was not bad, he was pampered and arrogant, and he always thought about her swordsmanship, but he also took Hua Xiangrong as a true friend, no matter what angle it was, she didn't want Nangong Xu to suffer anything.
Xiao Zirang knew what she was thinking, lowered his head, looked at the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Of course, if he is safe and stable in this life, it will naturally be the best." ”
