Chapter 22: Narrative
Out of the room, Dongfang Luoyu met Dongfang Luoqi who was waiting outside.
Dongfang Luo Qi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Wang." ”
Dongfang Luoyu waved his hand: "You and my brother, don't be polite." ”
Dongfang Luoqi's hand still didn't let go, and said, "Brother Wang, can the younger brother ask Brother Wang to talk in the hall." ”
"Okay."
The two Dongfang brothers sat in the hall, and Dongfang Luoyu took the lead in speaking: "Luo Qi, you have something to say." ”
Dongfang Luoqi put down the teacup and said: "Brother Wang, although the younger brother should not put your private affairs in mind, and he doesn't care much about the government on weekdays, but the younger brother knows that you are about to marry the eldest princess of Ximen, Ximen Wuya, and the younger brother dares to ask, what do you plan to do with Lan Zijin?" ”
Dongfang Luoyu was silent, and then drank tea.
"Brother Wang, Zijin is very simple, and she cares about Brother Wang very much, Brother Wang can easily let her turn back in a few words, can you bear to hide it from her like this? If she had learned the truth, it wouldn't have been as easy as it is today. She can completely give up because Nangong Yu married Beiming Yiyi, if you marry Ximen Wuya, do you think she will betray you at that time? ”
"Luo Qi, you seem to care about her very much?" Listening to Dongfang Luoqi's painstaking persuasion, Dongfang Luoyu was a little puzzled, could it be that he fell in love with Lan Zijin?
"I am friends with Zijin, that is, I care about her, I also care about Brother Wang, and I think about the government and politics, Lan Zijin is the crown princess of Nangong, and she was sent to my east as a proton, if it is known by the subjects at this time, I am afraid that Brother Wang's reputation will be ruined." Dongfang Luo Qi explained unhurriedly, and his expression did not show the slightest panic.
"You take care of her for your brother first, about the marriage between Dongfang and Simon, the widow himself can't control it." Dongfang Luoyu sighed, his expression was full of helplessness, and then said: "I don't seem to be able to give her a complete self, nor can I allow her a stable life. But I'll try. Try to do what I can. ”
"Brother Wang, are you really in love with her?"
After hearing this, Dongfang Luoyu smiled, turned around and wanted to leave, Dongfang Luoqi also stood up and said, "Even so, it is inconvenient for the younger brother to say more, congratulations to Brother Wang." ”
Zijin, are you just like that, have you forgiven him?
The spring breeze blows, everything in the Oriental Palace recovers, and the lotus leaves in the lotus pond grow more and more luxuriantly. The seemingly calm Miyagi, at this moment, the ministers stood on top of the court, arguing.
"Lord, the Northern Underworld army has occupied two cities on the northern border of our country, and the minister suggests that troops be sent to Beiguan immediately to repel the enemy army and recapture the city!"
"Lord, the alliance between Nangong and Beiming is well known to the world, since Beiming dares to act like this, there must be a move! If we rashly send heavy troops to defend against the enemy, I am afraid that Nangong will not give up, if so, there will be war on both the north and south borders! ”
A big man with a tiger's back stood up when he heard the voice, and shouted loudly with righteous indignation: "Is it possible, do you want us to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" Where does this put the face of our Eastern Country? Lord! Chen Guo Mu is willing to lead the troops to the battle! ”
Dongfang Luoyu, who was standing on the high platform, put his hands behind his back, listened to the quarrel of the ministers irritably, and ignored it indifferently.
After a while, Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward, arched his hand and said: "Lord, at present, only by first making a family relationship with the eldest princess of Ximen and announcing it to the world can we deter the enemy army." The old minister thought that the monarch of the Northern Netherworld, Bei Mingfan, was brave and unscrupulous, but he was just a reckless man, and he must have been instructed by Nangong Yu to do so. But my East has not yet openly broken with the Northern Underworld, so the Northern Underworld does not dare to make too many mistakes. The minister thought that he should send soldiers to defend against the enemy first, and there was no need to rush to recover the city, so as to wait for the opportunity. ”
"What Prime Minister Zuo said is extremely true!"
Dongfang Luoyu waved his wide sleeves, sat on the throne, and sighed quietly, he knew that he had no other way at the moment, patted the chair, signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then said majestically: "Zhong Aiqing, the widow decided, according to the words of Prime Minister Zuo, immediately sent a messenger to the West Gate to discuss the matter of joint marriage." General Guo immediately led 100,000 troops to the northern border to defend against the enemy! ”
"Yes!"
After the ministers left, Dongfang Luoyu stood in place, as the king of a country, he had to take this road, the safety of the people and the integrity of the country were all burdens on his shoulders. He once personally promised his father that he would unify the four kingdoms to complete the hegemony, of course, this is also his wish.
He knows that those who achieve great things are not informal. What he should do is to abandon all his own personal emotions and settle for the outside.
To him, his Lan Zijin is just a beautiful dream.
Zijin, even if one day, you really want to leave me, I can't complain about you.
The birds were singing, the fish were playing happily in the water, and Lan Zijin was sitting by the pond in the palace, paddling with a branch.
Her thoughts drifted far away, she thought of the master and senior brother in the distance, her parents and brother, Nangong Yu and Bei Mingyi, Nuan Nuan, Yan Yan...... Many of the people she'd ever met, were they all okay? Although she was angry about Nangong Yu sending someone to hunt her down, she felt that she didn't hate him, and Beiming Yiyi's child was about to be born, I don't know if it was a boy or a girl. She hopes that if she is a girl, her personality must not be like Beiming Yiyi.
"Little Beauty! What do you think? Dongfang Luoqi's appearance brought Lan Zijin's thoughts back, she looked at Dongfang Luoqi, who was dressed in plain white, and said, "I'm thinking, the sound of the prince's flute last time." Melodious and tactful, very beautiful. ”
"Haha, do you regret that you didn't finish listening to it last time?"
Lan Zijin held his chin and pretended to be serious: "I regret it very much!" ”
"What's so hard about that? If you want to hear it, I'll play it for you. ”
Dongfang Luoqi took the flute, and the sound of the flute fluttered out, crisp and pleasant, and the aftersound lingered. The birds flying around the branches stopped their wings, and the fish jumped out of the water, and the song was like a heavenly sound, which made people intoxicated and unforgettable.
After finishing the song, Lan Zijin applauded, stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!" The sound of the prince's flute is really intoxicating. ”
Dongfang Luo Qi smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Lan often played the piano when she was in the palace a month ago, which caused the palace people to stop and listen, I wonder if Xiao Wang is lucky enough to smell it?" ”
Lan Zijin sank his face and said: "My music is different from yours, you play all the scores, most of them are created by ancestors, and I didn't play those things, as for my music is ugly, I just didn't find the one that belongs to me." ”
Dongfang Luoqi was a little emotional when he heard this, he thought that Lan Zijin just didn't understand the rhythm, but he didn't expect that the music that Lan Zijin pursued was different from others, others were just imitating, but she was looking for a song that only belonged to her. turned his back to his hand, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Then I wish you can make your own tune as soon as possible." ”
