Chapter 119: The Wind and the Waves Are Calm and Stupid
"Is it all over? After saying that, go in and fool Your Highness, let them go. Zhang Yueheng's gaze gradually fell on King Xuan's gloved hand, and said coldly, "After all, the prince's daughter is expensive, and frostbite is difficult to heal for many years." ”
King Xuan tightened his palms, gasped deeply, and frowned: "Do you have to be like this?" You have forgotten that when we first set out on the expedition, we were allied and brothers in front of 100,000 iron horsemen."
"Because of this, I let that heavenly thing rot in my stomach, more completely than everything at the bottom of Leigong Gorge. After all these years, I have retreated to a corner and no longer get involved in any disputes, what else do you want me to do? I, Zhang Yueheng, don't have the courage of you, I'd rather die on the streets than ignore both loyalty and righteousness. For you, my brother asks himself, he is considered to have done his duty. For the first time, Zhang Yueheng was willing to respond to King Xuan head-on, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and the smell of wine over the years had penetrated deeply into the cracks of his dull armor.
"I believe in you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so open and honest with you. King Xuan paused for a long time before he slowly said this weighty sentence, and then, he lowered his voice and said solemnly to Zhang Yueheng, "Others don't understand, I won't know, you have pretended to be confused for so long but refused to return to your hometown like the other three old friends, it is nothing more than a flat mind." You also know very well the situation between the DPRK and China, who is ambitious, who is vulnerable, who has accumulated a lot of money, who needs the real you, and who you Zhang Yueheng really needs, do you continue to pretend to be confused! ”
"Some people, retreat to one side, think long-term, and are unwilling to wait for the opportunity to move, while some people are wasted, and they are willing to do it without regrets." Zhang Yueheng lifted the saber on his waist, cocked the soles of his feet and rubbed the mud on the upper of his shoes with a time-honored and dim scabbard, lowered his head and muttered casually, "I heard the embroidery lady say that in the laughter and conversation of Hongtu hegemony, it is better than a drunk in the world." Lao Tzu cares so much about you? ”
Behind the door, Painting Thirteen's heart shook a little, and he saw that King Xuan's shoulders seemed to collapse, so he silently turned around and walked back, and Painting Thirteen quietly went back.
"Uncle Wang, where have you been, the tea made by the princess and aunt is almost cold." Yin Chenglian asked with a smile.
King Xuan glanced at Princess Xuan, exchanged glances with each other, and the affection was indeed a tacit understanding that others could not understand, he took the teacup and replied with a smile: "How?" Are you still used to drinking this tea? ”
Jing Mo Wan'er said with a smile: "I just accompanied the princess to make tea together, which was really eye-opening." Princess Orchid Heart Hui quality, with different effects of herbs with different aromas of tea, simmering slowly, tea fragrance and medicinal fragrance blended together, it is really intriguing to taste carefully. ”
"Miss Jing is an expert after all." The princess smiled softly, and the faint and small wrinkles loomed between a pair of kind eyes, "I am bored in the house on weekdays, and I have nothing to do, so I have to hold all kinds of medical skills, guessing like a riddle with cooking tea with medicinal herbs, although I am an outsider, but I only seek to nourish and nourish my body, there will be no big mistakes, but it is also very interesting." ”
King Xuan looked at the princess with pity in his eyes: "You always care about nourishing my body for me, and you can also make up for yourself." ”
"I don't know what kind of medical books the princess reads? Can you have a detailed description and explanation? Each has its own owner, and its properties are different, so if the herbs and food are not good, it will hurt the body. As soon as Jing Mo heard about the medicinal materials, he suddenly became energetic and said with great concern.
"I don't dare to believe in partial books and miscellaneous books, and the left is just the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and the like. But when Miss Jing said this, I really remembered that I once cooked Cassia and Autumn together, and after eating it, my stomach tossed for most of the day. Princess Xuan looked at King Xuan with tender eyes and smiled slightly apologetic.
Jingmo's identity as a pharmacist and her enthusiasm naturally made her not sit idly by: "It's better like this, I'll be free another day, and I'll accompany the princess to always know which ones are taboo to eat together, and I won't suffer in vain." ”
"That's great." Princess Xuan smiled warmly and took Jingmo's hand, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day." I'm going to study a medicinal diet tomorrow, I wonder if you can be free, Miss Jing? ”
Jingmo glanced at the thirteenth painting, the princess understood, and said with an ambiguous smile: "I don't know if the painter can rest assured that I will borrow a beautiful woman for half a day?" If you don't feel at ease, why don't you come and eat together tomorrow? ”
Although Hua Thirteen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he only smiled and said gently: "Naturally, rest assured, it's just that the time is closed, and I am afraid that Mo'er will disturb the palace a lot." ”
After a few polite words, it was not early, Yin Chenglian and the others got up to say goodbye and went home. King Xuan watched the figures of this group of young people gradually disappear into the vast night, Princess Xuan gently grabbed King Xuan's arm, King Xuan turned around and asked quietly: "How many days have passed since the Chinese New Year's Eve ceremony?" ”
Princess Xuan replied: "It's been twelve days. There are still three days to go. Husband, are you ready? What did Zhang Yueheng say? ”
"He's still the same, the stones in the pit stink and hard." King Xuan lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
"But right now, it's probably nothing without him, after all, there are already the other three." Princess Xuan's words gradually became less warm, and her eyes turned to Suzaku behind her, "Once something happens at that time, I want you to swear to protect the prince's safety." Can you do it? ”
Suzaku nodded heavily: "Yes!" Don't dare to make a slight mistake. ”
At this time, the night breeze was blowing cooler and cooler, sweeping all the way from Xuanwang's Mansion to the long street, and the thirteen and others were walking leisurely by the dim thin moonlight.
