Who loves whom?
The other side couldn't control his steps, and slowly walked to the crimson flowers, the corners of his eyes were also a little moist, it was really the other side of the flower, the other side of the flower in late autumn.
Walking slowly into the path between the flowers, the other side closed his eyes, raised his chin and opened his arms, feeling the coolness, and tasting the faint fragrance of flowers on the other side. Maybe it's because he was born and his name is related to this flower, and his father likes this flower very much, so he also has a strange love for this flower.
She was extremely excited, and she didn't notice the shadow slowly approaching behind her, and when she felt the oppression coming from behind her, she turned her head abruptly and saw a burly Hun man, standing behind her with his back to the moonlight.
"Where are you on an errand? I wonder if people here can't break in? The tone of the yin owl can be compared to that of Yelu Fox.
The other side knelt down in a panic, his tall figure turned his back to the moonlight, all he could see was his eyes that were shining in the night, as sharp as a wolf, and his figure blocked the moonlight, obviously he would not see his appearance, so the other side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you hear what Prince Ben said?" The deep voice came faintly again.
The slave --- the slave maid heard, "It turned out to be a prince, that is, the prince born to the legendary concubine who is only now favored, that is, the biological son of the current queen, Yelu Hucao."
After a long time, when the other side lowered his head and felt his neck numb, a voice came from above, but this voice seemed to be very lost, "Which palace slave are you?" ”
"The slave maid is on an errand in Xuanran Palace" She knew that the place where the name of the royal court was only the place where the autumn banquet had just been held, and she secretly bit the corner of her lip, hoping that he would not go on for more.
Sure enough, fortunately, Yelu Hucao didn't continue to ask, and walked past her into the flowers, and then said lightly, "Isn't there an autumn banquet going on now?" How do you have time to be lazy here? ”
"The slave maid came with a few princesses, and they didn't keep up for a while, so they got separated." The other side secretly raised his sleeves to wipe his face, just wanting to leave quickly.
Yelu Fox Cao's handsome appearance looks more and more enchanting in the moonlight, which is also the reason why he doesn't want to see the fun, a prince looks like a man, whoever looks at it at first glance is to exclaim that there is such a beautiful woman in the world, behind knowing that he is a man, but they all secretly want to treat him as a prostitute under him.
Warm as jade, beautiful face, soul-hooking peach blossom eyes, cold at the bottom of the eyes, thin lips ruthless, even if you can't see Yelu Hucao's appearance, the other side also feels a chill emanating from him at this time.
"Do you know the name of this crimson flower?" His eyebrows were furrowed, he had bought them from a merchant when he was out of the royal court, and he liked the large flower and its crimson color.
So, after two years, there is this large area of flowers, and this flower is also strange, every day in late autumn more and more red and bright, so he will always come here quietly at night, this has also become his forbidden place, although it is planted in the imperial garden.
"The flower of the other side" the other side replied plainly.
Yeluhu Cao replied suddenly, "What do you say is the name of this flower?" ”
"The flowers on the other side are called so in the slave's hometown." The other side looked confused, and seemed to guess that it might be another name in the Xiongnu.
"Flowers on the other side" he repeated in a low voice, turned around again, and looked at the whole flower, what a beautiful name.
"You're not a Hunn?" Then he asked.
The other side replied, "The slave grew up in Da Zhou. ”
"Oh, then you must have grown this flower in every house, right?" He had a longing and anxious tone, and he didn't hide it under the cold voice, but he was still discovered by the other side.
"No, in the slave's hometown, this flower mostly grows wild, and most of the places where it grows are on field paths, riverside trails and cemeteries, so it is also called the dead man's flower."
Before the other side finished speaking, Yelu Hucao interrupted and asked, "Then why is it called the other side flower?" ”
"In the slave's hometown, the three days before and after the spring equinox are called the other side of spring, and the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called the other side of autumn. It is the day of going to the grave. The flowers on the other side bloom during the autumn period, which is very punctual, so it is called the other side flowers. The other side explained, and at the same time anxiously wanted to find an excuse to leave.
Presumably, at this time, Lingyun and Lu'er must have also noticed that they were missing, but Lingyun, who often walked around the royal court, knew that this was a forbidden place, but he was afraid that he would not find this place.
"Would you like to come to this prince's side as a personal maid?" This time, the voice was not as cold as before.
"Prince Xie carries love, and the slave maid is used to being an errand in Xuanran Palace, so... The voice of the other side is getting lower and lower, and I don't know if the rejection of the high-ranking prince will annoy him.
Yelu Hucao turned his back to the other side coldly, his handsome figure looked a little desolate in the hazy moonlight, and his voice was a little hoarse at this time, "Then forget it, you can retreat." ”
"Yes" The other side breathed a sigh of relief at this time, ignoring the rules, and ignoring the legs that were a little numb and disobedient because he had been kneeling for too long, and left quickly.
It's just that she has just taken a few steps when she hears the cold voice coming out again, "Tomorrow, at this hour, this prince is waiting for you here." ”
The other side pretended not to hear it, and did not stop his feet and leave quickly, but Yelu Hucao, who was behind her, believed that she must have heard it, and even if she didn't hear it, he would not visit, as long as she was in the royal court, he could find her.
The other side walked back the same way with a sweat, and saw that Lingyun and they were still playing the child in the same place, and they were also relieved, otherwise they found that they were gone, and she really didn't know how to answer when asked.
In that pavilion for a while, a group of four people walked to the Xuanran Palace, and when they arrived in the hall, they saw everyone talking and laughing, and they who had no one to pay attention to and returned, only when the other side sat back in the position, only to find that Yelu Hu Chu on the side was looking at him with a look of grievance.
The other side hurriedly retracted his eyes, pretending to look at the song and dance in the center of the hall, at this time he heard the silence of the door, and then looked sideways, only to see a handsome man walked in, if it wasn't for his tall figure, seeing his hibiscus face, the other side would definitely regard him as a beautiful woman, and his most special thing is those eyes, under closer inspection, you will find that one is black, the other is green.
Everyone's reaction returned to their original appearance after a while, only to see Shan Yu sitting on it wave his big hand, the courtesan in the center of the hall stopped, slowly retreated to both sides and knelt down, the man in white who walked in wanted to be very favored, and walked through the road that he let out of the middle with an indifferent face in front of everyone's eyes, and only stopped when he was down from the high Shan Yu, and knelt on the ground on one leg, "The emperor asks his father Khan to say goodbye." ”
"Haha, Hu Cao, hurry up, come on, give me a seat" Shan Yu was obviously happy that he didn't like to participate in the banquet, but suddenly came to the emperor.
Only then did he know that it was the third prince he met in the Imperial Garden, looking at the ruthlessness on his lips from afar, only to know that there was no illusion in the darkness there, why did such a man just look like a weak woman, and he was full of loss?
Seeing him looking over here, the other side retracted his eyes in a panic, patted the child in his arms lightly, and slowly raised his head after a long time, in fact, even if she didn't touch the head, the third prince would not recognize herself, and found that his eyes were still looking at this side, and the other side was puzzled to find his nerves, and that gaze finally fell on Bai Xinlan.
I saw Bai Xinlan at this time with a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were also looking at the third prince sitting next to Shan Yu, because there were Yelu Fox Evil and Lingyun in the middle, so the other side and Ben couldn't see what kind of demeanor Bai Xinlan was.
But it can be guessed from the iron-faced Yelu Fox Evil on his face that the two people looked at each other, and they did not miss Yelu Fox's eyes, and they were a little provocative, only to see Yelu Fox Evil suddenly hugging Lan'er into his arms, but the corners of his mouth raised high were looking at the third prince, with a successful face.
It seemed that Bai Xinlan blushed and buried her face in Yelu Fox's arms, and Yelu Fox Cao in the distance was slightly stunned, so she looked away, and the other side retracted her gaze, teasing Lie'er in her arms, guessing the relationship between the three people, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't understand, so she didn't think about it.
The deep voice of "the other side", the other side looked over and saw that it was Yelu Huchu on the side.
The other side habitually smiled slightly, "Is there something wrong with the second prince?" ”
One sentence easily opened the relationship between the two, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, seeing that he had been staring at him, the other side lowered his head and pulled the sheet wrapped outside Lie'er.
"Imperial sister-in-law, the clothes you are wearing today look very good." Yelu Huchu couldn't wait to slap himself, he usually didn't have such a stupid mouth, in fact, he wanted to ask if he liked the clothes he sent? Unexpectedly, he finally came up with this sentence, and sighed secretly, seeing that she was so cold, he really didn't know what he had done wrong? Is it because of that kiss last night?
"Oh" The other side didn't look up, and responded lightly.
The silence and the atmosphere made the two of them feel a little annoyed.
"I'm sorry last night,---- If she blamed him for that kiss, he apologized, he didn't want to see her so cold to himself, which made him feel a little painful in his heart.
The other side lowered her head, just to hide the pain that flashed in her eyes, and replied flatly, "It's okay, I've forgotten what happened last night." ”
She didn't want his apology, but what did she want? His apology will only make her feel more uncomfortable, and she was shocked, could it be that she was moved by him?
His gentleness is like the wind, although he always looks like a playboy, but he is a man who is single-minded on the outside and single-minded on the inside, and has never tasted what it is like to love someone, if this feeling is now, then she wants to say that the taste of the first taste is very bitter and astringent.
The dancing queen of the main hall finally went down, and only then did she hear a scream that was neither male nor female, "Great Khan said, this king is happy for today's autumn banquet, all the courtiers bring their female dependents to the banquet, and each female family member will give a chance to perform." ”
After speaking, I only listened to the sound of discussion below, with different expressions, some ministers were proud, and some were quietly discussing something with the wife on the side, Yelu Fox Evil also looked at Lingyun and the other side at this time, and the worst face was Bai Xinlan, and the other side also understood the reason, after all, she was still nameless and no part at this time, how could she have the opportunity to show her talent.
The other side pouted mockingly, such an opportunity, only a woman like her who loves vanity would like it, seeing Lingyun secretly pulling her sleeve below, the other side looked at her sideways.
"Sister on the other side, Lingyun's stomach hurts so much, so you should go up later." Lingyun pouted.
The other side gave her a plan, it was okay just now, she believed that she was weird, and ignored her and replied, "Where have you ever seen someone who went up to perform with a child, saying that I am a Da Zhou woman again, and it is the best choice for you to go up." ”
"Okay, okay" Lingyun turned his head, obviously losing his temper.
The other side shook his head again, didn't say anything, patted his arms lightly, and the following performance has just begun, how generous and enthusiastic the Hun women are, although they are married to other women, they jump into the dance of the Huns, and live like an unmarried girl.
Lingyun, who was angry on the side, kept rolling her eyes, and finally saw a touch of cunning flashing in her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth successfully, she used to love her evil brother with all her heart, although she understood why he married herself, she was still willing to marry him.
Now, especially after coming into contact with the other side, she suddenly became enlightened, knowing that some things are not destined to be yours, and she will not be happy if she fights, and through Brother Chu's temptation last time, she believes that the other side must be special in the eyes of the evil brother.
It's just that I still have an inexplicable loss in my heart, I raised my head and looked at the indifferent man, only to find that he is really ruthless, and now the two people use the identity of the prince and the princess to separate the distance between the two people, and the love word is the most hurtful.
While secretly feeling sad for his feelings, he secretly took out a paper bag from his sleeve, and frowned slightly after opening it, this bag of croton powder was originally going to go down to Bai Xinlan's tea tonight, but there was an evil brother between the two of them, so it could be used on himself now.
The fingers secretly dipped a little, put it in his teacup and stirred it, before stuffing the rest back into his sleeve, not noticing the dark eyes of Yelu Fox above his head, he picked up the teacup and drank it in a few sips, only after drinking it did he remember one thing, she was sincere to let the other side perform, but she didn't ask the other side what would happen?
Wouldn't it be self-defeating if she didn't know anything------
Don't dare to think about it, Lingyun was already in a cold sweat, and when he raised his head, his mouth cracked and forgot to take it back, his eyes moved left and right, could it be that the people on both sides of his chin saw it?
The other side twitched the corners of his mouth, saw Yelu Fox's dark face, lowered his head and raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and smiled, Lingyun smiled at Yelu Fox, and turned to look at the woman who had just walked up to the main hall, thinking that it was useless to stare at me, who stipulated that you can't give yourself croton powder?
Hearing that the hall was quiet, Yelu Fox turned his head to look at the center, and it turned out that the woman in pink who came up was Yelu Chuchu, the daughter of King Zuo Xian, with a delicate and seductive appearance, but it was like the softness of a woman in the Great Zhou, and King Zuo Xian, who was sitting there, looked proud, stroked his beard with his big hands, and nodded with satisfaction with the impact of his daughter.
I saw her dancing, like a butterfly, poignant and moving dance, so that everyone quietly intoxicated, until the end of a song, watching her kneel on the ground, everyone came back to their senses, the noise 'noise', the hall is endlessly discussed, everyone is nodding to King Zuoxian, sitting on the main seat of the single Yu is obviously very satisfied, after the minister signaled, the hall quieted down.
At this time, Shan Yu's majestic voice spoke, "Chu Chu, now that you are over fifteen, do you have anyone you like?" If so, the Great Khan will marry you today. ”
"Xie Da Khan, Chu Chu already has a man in the end" The Hun woman was really generous and heroic, and she didn't blush at all.
"Oh? Who can let one of my Huns end up in love? After hearing this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
I saw Yelu Chuchu, who was kneeling on the ground, turn his head to look at Yelu Huchu, who was drinking with his head down, and then turned his head again, "It is His Royal Highness the Second Prince who Chu Chu is finally in love." ”
After her words were finished, it was obvious that King Zuo Xian was also stunned, and then his face sank, and then he glared at the second prince who bowed his head angrily, as if he had seduced his daughter, and that look made everyone understand that the fast son-in-law in his eyes was not the second prince.
The other side found that he seemed to have been beaten into the abyss, he was going to marry a wife, there was only this sentence in his mind, he raised the corners of his mouth bitterly, and shook his body slightly to coax Lie'er in his arms, it was a matter of time before he married a wife, why did he have nothing to do with it, what was she thinking?
After hearing her reply, Shan Yu, who was sitting on it, twisted his beard lightly, and finally spoke, "Chu'er is not bad, even if this is the case, let's talk about this matter in a few days." ”
In a word, the other side obviously felt relieved, yes, and Yelu Huchu, who had not raised his head on the other side, was also relieved in his heart, if he wanted to have the opportunity to touch the throne in the future, taking the daughter of King Zuoxian was a good ladder to the sky, and his father Khan did not point to marriage, I am afraid that he intended to point out Yelu Huchu to the third king's brother, how could he care about the prince born to him, a palace maid.
But that's fine, anyway, he doesn't dare to be interested in the throne, and he doesn't have any interest in other women, he is interested----- he moves his eyes to the other side beside him, how can such a woman make people look away?
"Okay, stand down" Without waiting for Yelu Chuchu to speak, Shan Yu waved his hand.
As a result, the atmosphere cooled down again, and then Shan Yu asked again, "Where should I go next?" ”
"Back to the Great Khan, it's time for the evil prince of Yeluhu." The unmale voice replied.
"Oh?" Shan Yu looked at the lower right side, and then raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Yun girl, your father went out to play, this time you want to hide but no one will help you."
Everyone listened to it and was happy, this banquet performance is a thing that happens every time, but this Lingyun county lord hides every time, in fact, she is not to blame for hiding, who here does not know that the song sung by Lingyun is difficult to find a second person in the world, it is really incomplete in five tones, I heard it for the first time, I am afraid that I don't want to listen to music in this life.
"Father Khan" Lingyun was sweet, and then he said again, "If Lingyun performs, he will also sing." ”
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was a little cold just now, and Shan Yu said, "It's okay to sing, this king hasn't heard you sing for a few days." ”
"Okay, that Lingyun ---- sigh" Before he finished speaking, Lingyun frowned, and cold sweat appeared slightly on his forehead.
"What's going on?"
"Please forgive Father Khan, I'm afraid that Lingyun won't be able to perform, please ask Father Khan to allow his sons to leave for a while."
Seeing her wrinkled little face, as well as her body standing up and bending down, Shan Yucai nodded and said, "Then go quickly." ”
She didn't want to be embarrassed, and everyone didn't want their ears to be mutilated, killing two birds with one stone, and everyone had no opinion, and after a long time, Shan Yu's eyes stopped at the figure of the eldest son holding the child against his head, and then moved to Bai Xinlan on the other side, her face was a little gloomy.
"Evil, which one is your other concubine?" The majesty of the king is fully displayed.
Yelu Fox got up, walked around the table, knelt down on one knee and replied, "The one holding Xiao'er is the other concubine of Erchen." ”
"Oh? So who is? Shan Yu asked, twisting his beard, his calm face making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
"Yes----" Yelu Fox Evil never expected his father Khan to pay attention to this.
Others also held the heart of watching the play, waiting for his answer, the other side kept his head down, but the corner of his eyes swept to Bai Xinlan, who was sitting across the seat, and saw that she also lowered her head in shame, more embarrassed, after all, a woman was brought in without a name, I am afraid that she herself will feel the ridicule of others, right?
Yeluhu Cao, who had never opened his mouth, swept Bai Xinlan lightly, and a hint of unintentional distress flashed in his eyes, only to see him open his thin lips, "Father Khan, that is Brother Wang's life-saving benefactor, when he took Brother Wang back to the royal court, Cao Er had seen it." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Wang'er's life-saving benefactor, Wang'er get up" Seeing that the matter had been ordered, Shan Yu was not pursuing it.
Yelu Fox thanked him and returned to his seat, the other side saw his big hand holding Bai Xinlan's hand tightly below, and secretly felt sorry for him in his heart, a man who wants to get power, for a woman to do this, has proved that he cares about her, I hope Bai Xinlan will not live up to this feeling, after all, when the third prince exonerates Yelu Fox evil, Bai Xinlan even if she bows her head, she still sees her happy look.
"Let another concubine perform as a performer." Shan Yu opened his mouth again.
The other side had guessed this as early as when Lingyun gave him his chin bean, so he wasn't much shocked, and when he handed the child into Lu'er's hands, she smiled indifferently when she saw Yelu Fox's eyes that she threw a warning to herself, when did he give herself a good face?
The other side walked to the center of the hall generously, knowing that many people were watching her jokes, and who among these people would not know that she was a slave girl, because she was named a concubine because she gave birth to the eldest son for Yelu Huxie, even if she was so terrible.
"I have seen my father Khan on the other side" Although she was wearing the clothes of the Huns, she was blessed and performed a big Zhou etiquette.
Everyone below took a cold breath, their eyes widened, they couldn't believe that she dared to challenge the majesty of the royal family in front of everyone, and in the end, there was no sound of cold breathing, everyone held back their breath, waiting for the wrath of the high king.
