Chapter 25: Foolishness
After the dance, Lan Zijin applauded excitedly, Dongfang Luoyu carried the sword behind him, although he danced, his breath was still stable.
"How?"
"Well, pretty good!" Lan Zijin stepped forward, handed over an extra fruit in his hand, and handed it to Dongfang Luoyu, saying, "This is a reward for you." ”
Dongfang Luoyu returned the sword to Lan Zijin, picked up the fruit and took a bite, and said, "Your reward is also quite good, and the taste is very good." ”
"Hehe, but it would be perfect if you could have the sound of drums to accompany you, alas."
"It's a pity, there are more opportunities like this, Zijin's drum is beating very well, next time, you beat the drum for me, I will dance the sword for you, how about it?"
Lan Zijin's face was full of happiness, she plunged into Dongfang Luoyu's arms, her hair was faintly scented with jasmine, and said softly: "It would be great if we could be together forever like this." ”
Dongfang Luoyu's smile froze, and then gradually faded, caressing her hair, and said, "If we can be together all the time, is there anything you want to do?" ”
"As long as I'm with you, in fact, I can do anything, and I will feel very happy. But if I can, I'd like to talk to you:
Leaning on the tower to look at the night sky in early summer,
Walk on the snow in the morning and winter to enjoy the glass.
Spring sees thousands of flowers all over the fields,
Autumn view of fallen leaves spread all over the mountain.
Fang lives up to this life and meets again. Dongfang Luoyu, will you? ”
It was getting late, the lights in the palace were on, Dongfang Luoyu looked at Lan Zijin in his arms, and said, "I remember, Zijin's wish." Leaning on the building to look at the night sky in early summer, it is early summer, tonight, I will accompany you to watch the night sky, okay? ”
"Well, let's go to the highest place in the Eastern King City, okay? That way, the starry sky is closer to us and we can see it more clearly. ”
Dongfang Luoyu picked up Lan Zijin and jumped into the air, and the two rode the wind, the starlight was slightly dewed, and the moon hung high.
Falling to the tallest building in the royal city, Lan Zijin asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"This place is called Dongfang Ming Tower, the tower is more than ten zhang high, but the place you want?"
"Well, you see, the starry sky is so beautiful, vast and boundless." Lan Zijin leaned on Dongfang Luoyu's shoulder, pointed to the distance, and whispered.
"Well, it's beautiful." Dongfang Luoyu looked towards the place she pointed, at this moment, he didn't want to think about anything else, he just wanted to enjoy the beauty of this moment.
After being silent for a long time, Lan Zijin was sleepy, his eyes slightly closed. Dongfang Luoyu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her like this, and said, "You said you were going to see the night sky, and you were going to fall asleep so soon?" ”
"Whoever is going to fall asleep, I don't." Lan Zijin yawned and said, "I'm just, a little sleepy." ”
Dongfang Luoyu patted her on the back and said, "Then let's go back." ”
"Well, it's okay, anyway, you'll still accompany me to come and see it in the future, right?"
Facing such a pure and scheming Lan Zijin, Dongfang Luoyu nodded, his eyes were a little more profound, and said, "Hmm." I will. ”
Zijin, I, Dongfang Luoyu, will definitely accompany you to do everything you want to do.
"Good night." Dongfang Luoyu covered the quilt for Lan Zijin and left. Tomorrow the messenger of Simon will arrive in the East.
In the early morning of the next day, Dongfang Luoqi had just slept for a long time after a hangover, and was summoned by Dongfang Luoyu into the queen, standing in the imperial study with a look of not waking up, waiting for Dongfang Luoyu to appear.
"Where did Lord Luo Qi go yesterday?" Dongfang Luoyu walked in, saw Dongfang Luoqi and said with a smile.
I saw Dongfang Luoqi yawn, and then bowed his hand to salute, and said: "Brother Wang sees Brother Wang, I don't know what is important for Brother Wang to call Brother Wang early in the morning?" ”
"The messenger of Simon has arrived in my eastern country, so go and answer it." Dongfang Luoyu sat on the chair and said while looking at the music.
"Hey, it's better for them to send the left prime minister on this kind of errand, and the younger brother goes for fear of neglecting others." Dongfang Luo Qi was unwilling to accept this kind of errand to receive the messenger, so he resigned again and again.
"It's because I'm afraid of snubbing the envoy of Ximen, so I sent you, a noble prince, to go, which can better demonstrate the sincerity of my eastern country, as for the rest, you don't have to worry about the rest, you just do your part and take the envoy to the palace for entertainment."
"Okay, my brother takes the order." Dongfang Luoqi left listlessly after speaking.
Sitting on horseback, Dongfang Luoqi was sleepy and tired, but he had to maintain the demeanor of a prince in front of the people and messengers, so he had to endure squeezing out a smile.
When they arrived at the edge of the city, the procession of the envoys of the West Gate was already waiting, and Dongfang Luoqi dismounted and said to everyone: "On behalf of the Eastern Kingdom, this king welcomes all the envoys who have come from afar. ”
The little girl sitting in the carriage jumped out of the carriage happily when she heard the sound, ran to Dongfang Luo Qi, and said coquettishly: "Brother Luo Qi! You're here to pick me up, hee-hee, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”
This girl looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed flamboyantly and luxuriously, combing her hair in a playful bun, and holding Dongfang Luoqi's arm. This person is none other than the little princess Simon, Simon Dailin.
"Dailin? What are you doing here? Seeing Simon Dailin Dongfang Luo Qi couldn't help but feel numb in the scalp, this little princess had been clamoring to marry him since she was nine years old, when he went to Simon to deal with things, he didn't want to be love at first sight by this unruly princess, and shouted all day long that King Simon would give him marriage, which made him upset.
Simon Dailin's facial features are delicate and small, her figure is slightly fat, her face is slightly baby fat, and her smile is very cute, she raised her head and said to Dongfang Luoqi: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, people haven't seen you for a long time, you used to say that you would go to Ximen to see me, but you didn't come once, so I begged my father to let me come over, are you happy to see me?" ”
"Hehe, happy, happy. No wonder Simon sent so many people this time, it turned out that you also came with him. Dongfang Luoqi looked helpless, but he could only answer with a smile.
"Brother Luo Qi, my father has already agreed." Simon Dailin sat on horseback and walked side by side with Dongfang Luo Qi towards the palace.
"Promise what?"
"Promise to marry me to you, when will you go to Ximen Kingdom to propose, I will be fifteen years old in two years, and I can marry you then."
Dongfang Luo Qi was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, and thought to himself, when did I say that I was going to marry you? Hey, why did Brother Wang send me this errand?
"Princess, this marriage of a man and a woman is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents, and our royal family also needs the permission of the monarch to do it, and we can't make our own decisions." Dongfang Luo Qi said with a bitter face.
"What's so hard about that? Tell my father to go and talk to your brother. Dongfang-kun will definitely agree. Simon Dailin looked like she was not married to Dongfang Luoqi, and said firmly.
