Chapter 219: Father and Son
The small episode will not affect the relationship between the same family, after having dinner together, Wen Moqing first went to Wen Mohong's room, and then was pulled by Jun Wunian to drink tea. Yan Li couldn't wait to talk to Bi Xiao about what happened recently, but he was afraid that Chu Jiu would be alone and lonely, so he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief until Chu Jiu fell asleep in the dead of night, and slipped into Bi Xiao's room without waiting for a while.
Knowing that Yan Liwu would come, Bi Xiao did not rest on time, a lonely lamp, a cup of weak tea, and did not put down the scroll in his hand until Yan Liwu knocked on the door.
"I said a long time ago that you and your senior brother are a match made in heaven, you didn't believe it at the time, but now it's okay, and you don't need anyone to match it to come together, and the speed is so fast that even I can't bear it."
"I don't know how it came to be like this, most of it was deceived by him." Yan Li pouted worriedly, and immediately smiled at the corner of his eyes, "But I am really happy to be with him, unlike when I am with Mo Shu, I always suppress myself intentionally or unintentionally, and I am always afraid that I will accidentally do something that will make Mo Shu annoying." ”
When it comes to love, Bi Xiao is much longer than talking about sorrow, and those trivial and subtle thoughts are naturally deeply understood. After repeatedly reassuring and saying that he was not going to comment on the accident, Bi Xiao said something about Wen Mohong's situation, and when he was about to ask in detail, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Bixiao, the prince is back."
"Got it, I'll go and say hello later." After retiring from the house, Bi Xiao chuckled, "I may have heard that my senior brother came home and rushed back." On weekdays, the prince never said that he missed his senior brother, but in fact, he missed it tightly, and often sat in his brother's room for most of the hour. In the past few years, the senior brother has gone farther and farther, and the number of times he has returned to the house has become less and less, and the prince can't wait to let the senior brother find a girl to marry immediately, so as to tie his heart to his home. ”
"His heart is so ambitious, who can hold it? I can't do it anyway. He muttered quietly.
"Okay, you'll know when you get married."
The word "marriage" was repeatedly mentioned by Bi Xiao, and he was worried and looking forward to it, but he was also a little worried. Staring at the yellowed tea in the cup, Yan Liwu hesitated for a long time before asking softly, "Where is the eldest prince...... Will you agree with me and Wen Moqing? I used to be able to hide, but if I really got married, I couldn't hide it from him for the rest of my life. ”
"I've been looking for an opportunity to tell you and my brother about this." Bi Xiao lowered his head, and a soft smile hung lightly on his face, "Actually, Mo Hong had already discovered your identity when you left last time, I don't know if he was sure that you were the Qinglian King, but he wrote me two words, don't hate." I think Mo Hong probably wants to tell me that he doesn't hate you, and he asked me to thank you, maybe this can also prove that you are not the Qinglian King. ”
The smile dissipated, and the eyebrows were lightly raised.
If Wen Mohong has doubts about her identity, it means that her voice is the same as that of the Qinglian King, which will undoubtedly increase the possibility that she is the Qinglian King; However, Wen Mohong said that he didn't hate, so he wasn't sure that she was the Qinglian King? If you don't hate, does it mean that he has eliminated his hatred, or does he also have no idea about her relationship with King Qinglian?
No matter how she thought about it, Yan Liwu always felt that it was not a good sign for Wen Mohong to guess her identity based on her voice.
It is estimated that Wen Moqing has already met King Dingyuan, Bi Xiao and Yan Liwu went to the front hall together, and it happened that Wen Moqing and Jun Wunian had not left yet. Wen Moqing bluntly explained to King Dingyuan the relationship with Yan Li, but King Dingyuan did not object, but only asked the two not to be in a hurry to get married, and to get along for a while before deciding.
Marriage is not a child's play, everyone understands this truth, and being able to get the consent of King Dingyuan is even if the goal is achieved, yes, and Wen Moqing did not say anything else. After the others went back to the room to rest, Wen Moqing asked his subordinates to make a few side dishes and scalded the pot for a long time, and then put down his steady appearance and pulled King Dingyuan to drink with his father and son in the inner hall.
"Father doesn't mind leaving his identity?"
"Your Uncle Tong has the sharpest vision and sees people very accurately, he has come forward to say good things for Miss Yan, can I still say no? Anyway, it's your business, and you can do it yourself. King Dingyuan drank a cup and sighed happily.
It was indeed right to give Tong Ruchu the task of persuading the old diehards. Wen Moqing applauded his wise decision, but unexpectedly poured a glass of wine, and King Dingyuan changed his tone again.
"Mo Hong doesn't seem to have any objections to you being together, but on the second prince's side, you still have to think about what to do - just because this Yan girl left with you, the second prince has lost a lot, his body is not as good as day by day, and he can't see anyone else for a while."
Wen Moqing frowned: "He is a chronic illness brought about by his mother's womb, and it has nothing to do with leaving worries." ”
"The illness starts from the heart, I didn't say anything about the girl, how could the second prince suddenly fall ill?" King Dingyuan sighed lightly, put down the wine glass and looked at his son, "Moqing, you tell your father honestly, do you still have the will to help the second prince now?" If not, you can do as you please; If there is, then you have to think of a way, if it drags on like this, I'm afraid that the second prince's life will not last long. ”
Wen Moshu is frail and sick, and it is not unclear that Wen Moqing broke out in a terminal illness during the collegial marriage, but the person who assisted Wen Moshu was Chu Ci, a top strategist who was close to the demon and whose eyesight was not inferior to Tong Ruchu, Wen Moqing did not believe that Chu Ci would find a person who might die at any time to plan a great cause.
In Wen Moqing's opinion, either Wen Moshu's weakness is fake news, or it is the elixir that Chu Ci has for Wen Moshu's life, and he will definitely not see Wen Moshu die, but the fact that Wen Moshu is getting weaker and weaker makes him wonder if his previous inference is wrong.
After a moment of silence, Wen Moqing returned to a flat expression: "Chu Ci's whereabouts are difficult to grasp, I have sent the best subordinates in the building to track him several times, but he has thrown him off, if you want to grasp his movements, it is probably possible to let Wu Nian go out in person." By the way, does my father know what has happened to the four princes recently? Wu Nian has always watched the four princes closely, and he can't wait to keep an inch away, so it is very rare to run outside the imperial capital for a few days and not return, I suspect that there may be a problem between Wu Nian and the four princes. ”
King Dingyuan was slightly surprised: "When you said this, I only thought that Wu Nian's behavior was indeed a bit abnormal. Recently, I have been in the county, and the situation in the imperial capital is not very clear, I only know that Concubine Yun has been canonized as a concubine, and Prime Minister Zuo was crowned a first-class knight by the emperor, and then there are four princes who are concubines out of the palace and are titled Prince Yu, and I don't know anything else. ”
Wen Moqing had heard these news on the way back to Dingyuan County, and there was nothing abnormal on the surface, it was still Wen Jingyuan's old routine of overly favoring the traitorous concubine Yuchen and Wen Mozheng's efforts to escape from the shackles of the palace, but he just felt that something was wrong, and he faintly felt uneasy.
After a few drinks and ending the night talk, Wen Moqing wanted to go to see Yan Liwu, but when she saw that the lights in the room had been extinguished, she had to give up, and the next morning she woke up Yan Liwu in her sweet sleep at dawn.
"I have an urgent matter to go to the imperial capital, you and Jiu'er live in the mansion temporarily, if you are tired of living, you can go back to Qixian Mountain first, and I will go back as soon as possible after finishing my errands."
The word imperial capital is always associated with bad things in Yan Li's mind, and when he heard that Wen Moqing was going to the imperial capital, his sleepy eyes immediately widened: "Do you have to go?" Then I'll be with you. ”
"Where's Jiu'er?"
"Jiu'er has never been to Dingyuan County, just let Bi Xiao take her around to see and play for a few days, Bi Xiao is better at taking care of people than me."
Yan Liwu insisted on going, Wen Moqing had no reason to stop him, and after asking Jun Wunian if he would go on the road with them, the two of them ended their short visit to their home, and one person and one horse embarked on the post road to the imperial capital.
※※※
It was late autumn with a cold wind in the wind, and a horse-drawn carriage struggled to move forward in the dense forest, the wheels crushing the dead leaves and making a burst of cracking sounds, and it drove to the front of a clearing before stopping, and a pair of children, boys and girls jumped out of the carriage and shouted in unison.
"It's cold! It's so cold! ”
"Water mandarin, water duck, put on the wind and be careful of catching a cold." Yan Beixuan, who got out of the car after him, kept admonishing, but the person who took the wind and put it on the two children was Nan Rin, and his skillful movements were like housewives.
The two pieces were thick and heavy, cumbersome and uncomfortable to wear, and the water mandarin and the water duck pouted with a dissatisfied face: "The abyss is not fun, it's too cold!" ”
"Be good, bear with me, it will be warm when you go back to Fox Hill in a few days." Yan Beixuan coaxed softly, looked up at Nan Rin and smiled helplessly, "It's a shame that you are fully prepared, even with Feng Yu, otherwise the two of them will really freeze." It was heard that the weather in the Hosdu Empire was hot and there was no snow in all seasons, how could they choose such a cold place to meet? The girl looked thin and delicate, and she was going to get frostbite. ”
As soon as Yan Beixuan's voice fell, a chuckle came from the forest next to him: "People who practice martial arts will not invade in the cold and heat, thank you King Rong for your concern." ”
Nan Rin's breath tightened, his brows furrowed, and he raised his arms horizontally to block in front of Yan Beixuan.
"It's okay, Nanrin." Yan Beixuan shook his head and pushed Nan Rin's arm away, and gave a light salute in the direction where the graceful figure came, "Xiao Wang doesn't know that your envoy is also a person who practices martial arts, so he guesses in vain, and please don't blame your envoy." ”
"King Rong is considerate, it's too late to thank you, where will you blame? It is the second time to meet, and it is not a stranger, and it is not necessary to call King Rong, I have lived in Zhongzhou with my father for many years, for the convenience of walking, my father gave me the surname Helian, the name of Zhongzhou, and King Rong can be called casually - patronizing and saying, almost forgetting the business, it is cold outside, don't freeze the two little fairies, please inside. ”
Helian Ming has the tall figure and fair skin that the Khosdu people are born with, and her appearance is delicate and beautiful, and her delicate posture is matched with a toothy white plum and red trimmed suit, which makes her look more elegant and capable. Yan Beixuan followed Helian Mingyan into the fine house, and he didn't know if it was an illusion or it was true, he always felt that as a seven-foot man, he was three points shorter than Helian Mingyan.
There is no one else in the house, it is only Helian Mingyan and Yan Beixuan and his party, Yan Beixuan can't help but secretly smack his tongue, admiring Helian Mingyan's courage - a woman is alone with two big men, and it is to discuss the major affairs of the two countries, this kind of courage and courage is not something that ordinary women can have.
The water on the red clay stove was already boiling, Helian Ming lightly poured a full cup of tea with his fingers, served it to Yan Beixuan and Nan Rin with his own hands, and took a handful of red berries from the small bamboo basket and put them in the hands of the water mandarin duck: "Country coarse tea, don't blame the two." This is the wild fruit Du Ma fruit that is a specialty of Hosto, juicy and sweet, and is most popular with young children. ”
"Miss Helian is really thoughtful."
Yan Beixuan looked at Nan Rin quickly without moving, and it felt no longer as natural as before.
The water mandarin duck is the dragon and phoenix brother and sister adopted by Yan Beixuan in the name of the attendant, and they will follow him wherever they go, but whether it is to meet Emperor Yuan or the last time he met with the envoy of Huo Sidu, these two children were left in his residence without taking them, how could Helian Mingyan consider them and prepare wild fruits in advance to entertain them? The only plausible explanation is that the Hothdu Empire, or Helian Mingyan, has been keeping an eye on their every move.
Helian Mingyan didn't seem to care about Yan Beixuan's complicated expression, he sat down calmly and lifted his weights, smiled elegantly at the corners of his lips, and his elegance appeared.
"See King Rong again in a few months, and I hope I can hear the wise decision of your country to form an alliance with my Hothdu."
