Chapter 32: Arrival
After a long journey of several days and nights, they finally arrived at the Snow Fang, and the King of the Snow Fang learned that the Great Yin Shang Wuding Emperor had visited, and hurriedly lined up to meet them.
"Xiao Ke, how did you arrive at my snow side with Emperor Wuding?" The King of the Snow Fang was puzzled by the arrival of Xiao Ke and the Emperor Wuding, and Xiao Ke's coming this time was different from the past, he always came here alone before, but this time there was an extra woman next to him, and they looked very familiar, could it be that he was hinting that the King of the Snow Fang was going to get rid of his daughter? When I think about it like this, I can't help but get nervous.
"King Hui, we met on the road, so we went together." Xiao Ke replied.
"I see, then who is this woman next to you?" The king continued.
"She was one of my buyers and was curious about the snow cube, so I took her with me." Xiao Ke replied, hearing Xiao Ke say this, the hanging heart of the Snow King finally fell to the ground.
"This king is building a theater in the palace, I wonder if you are interested in accompanying this king to visit?" King Snow asked.
"Okay." Emperor Wuding showed a certain interest, but Xiao Ke said that he would not go. In this way, Emperor Wuding and Concubine Tang accompanied King Xuefang to the place where the theater was built, while Xiao Ke, Li Wan, and Hunger Zhong walked around the palace courtyard by themselves.
"Big brother, why do you always wear a mask on your face?" Li Wan finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and asked.
"It was in a war that I was wounded and left with a scar." The Hungry Bell replied.
"Oh, I see." Li Wan finally understood, "I'm sorry, it reminds me of a sad past." ”
"What's on the back of my neck? Hurry up and help me take a look. Suddenly, Xiao Ke screamed, his body writhed, but he felt a pain and itch there, and slapped it with his hand, but nothing was photographed, and said, "Shouldn't it be into the clothes?" ”
Hearing this, Li Wan hurriedly walked over and helped him check, only to see that there was indeed a red and swollen blister on the back of his neck, as if he had been bitten by something. Just as she tugged at his clothes, Tianna came from a distance, saw the two of them so close together, her face darkened, and she shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
"Princess, don't get me wrong, I just got bitten by a bug, and Miss Li is helping me see if any bugs have fallen into it." Xiao Ke said nervously.
"Don't fool me, men and women don't kiss, you don't call a masked man next to you to help watch, do you have to call her?" Jona walked over and pouted.
"Princess, don't get me wrong, Master Xiao is not very familiar with the man wearing the mask, and he is wearing a mask, which is not very convenient." Li Wan explained, and the hungry bell nodded vigorously from the side. "Don't believe it, you see, there is a big cell on the back of Xiao Fang's neck." Tiao Na leaned her head over to take a look, it really seemed to be bitten by a poisonous insect, and just as she looked, a flying insect came out of the collar and flew away into the distance, maybe it fell inside, but fortunately there was a bottom coat across it, so Xiao Ke was not bitten by it again. Tianna finally stopped being angry, and said to Xiao Ke: "My queen mother asked me to go over, why don't you accompany me?" By the way, put some ointment on her. Xiao Ke nodded, and went to her mother's bedroom with Princess Tiaona, leaving Hunger Zhong and Li Wan alone.
"Mother, what did you call me over?" As soon as Princess Tianna entered her mother's bedchamber, she couldn't wait to ask.
"Na'er, the queen mother saw that you rarely come here recently, so she asked you to come over. Your father has been building a theater recently, and the queen mother is in a panic, do you know why? Tiaona's queen mother said, not noticing Xiao Ke coming.
"It's a good thing that my father built a theater, if I am bored and panicked in the future, I can go to the theater to listen to music, how pleasant it would be!" Tianna said with interest.
"Silly princess! Your father had never listened to a play before, but ever since that singer came out, he was fascinated by her. Why did he suddenly go to build a theater? The queen suspect that he was built specifically for the singer. The Queen Mother began to sob at this point.
"Queen Mother, are you talking about Concubine Zhu, who has just entered the palace? Mother, your mother has been in the world for many years, and she is loved by civil and military officials, and no concubine can shake you or pose a threat to you. When you sit in the position of queen, you are 'gaining and losing' - your father is the ruler of a country, and if there are three thousand water around him, he cannot take only one scoop of drink. At a certain stage, it is normal to spoil a certain concubine alone. You should be able to see and think openly. Tiaona persuaded, and Xiao Ke also nodded in agreement. At this time, Tiaona's mother noticed Xiao Ke and asked when Xiao Ke came.
"By the way, do you have any ointment here? Xiao Ke was bitten by a poisonous insect. Tiao Na said for so long, and then she remembered the compatriot on Xiao Ke's neck. Tianna's mother hurriedly ordered a maid to fetch ointment for him, Tianna took the ointment from the maid's hand, helped Xiao Ke apply the ointment, and said while applying: "The effect of this ointment is very good, and the medicine will cure the disease." After Tiaona finished applying, Xiao Ke immediately felt neither so painful nor so itchy.
"Are you married?" Li Wan blinked and asked Hunger Zhongdao.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Hungry Bell was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, it's abrupt, but I just care about you." Li Wan said, and the hunger bell shook her head.
"You don't have a home yet?" Li Wan asked again.
"Yes, I haven't married yet." The Hungry Bell replied, "Who would want to marry a man like me, who wears a mask all day long?" ”
"How can you be so presumptuous? Although you have regrets about your appearance, your voice is very magnetic. Li Wan looked at him and said.
"Really?" Hungry Zhong smiled bitterly, as if marrying a wife was a very distant thing for him.
The theater building has been half built, and it has begun to take shape, with a total of three floors, and it has been built to the first and a half floors. It is expected that if this building is completed, it must be very magnificent, and Emperor Wuding praised King Xuefang for having such a good fortune and building a theater building inside the palace. While talking and laughing, Concubine Zhu came over and saluted King Xuefang. King Xuefang immediately introduced Emperor Wuding and said that he was the king who came over to fight the Great Yin Shang, but it is a pity that the theater has not yet been built, otherwise you can ask Concubine Zhu to sing a song in it, which is really a blessing in the world! As he was talking, a person suddenly fell from the upstairs and fell downstairs to his death on the spot.
"Wasn't the person who fell to his death the official in charge of building the theater? Was it an accidental fall, or was someone behind it an assassination? The Snow King's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered the guards who followed him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Concubine Zhu, there was a murder before this theater was built, so it seems that the omen is unlucky, you must be more careful in the near future!" The King of Snow Fang explained to Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Zhu nodded solemnly. The King of Snow stopped in front of the theater for a while, and then went back.
King Xuefang arranged a place for Emperor Wuding and his group to stay, and Emperor Wuding thought to himself: "There are internal battles in the courts of every country, maybe it is not the right time to come alone, and it happens to catch up with the outbreak period. When he came, he was thinking about going home, but Concubine Tang insisted on staying for a few more days, she said that they had worked tirelessly all the way to get here, how could they return so quickly?
