Chapter 18: The Woman in Red

In the blink of an eye, the day came to January later, the envoy of the Li State was the second prince, and the matter of welcoming foreign guests fell on the heads of the two brothers Yan Zituo and Yan Beishen, a few years ago the two countries were still enemies of each other's wars, and I didn't want to go to relatives now, I asked Yan Bei Shen if he would be embarrassed if he saw it, after all, Yan Bei Shen was the main general before, and the relationship with Li Guo was naturally not much better.

"To be able to stretch, you must be able to bend, and to be able to fly, you must also be able to fall."

Yan Beishen only said one sentence to me, forgive me for my low level of education, and I really can't understand the mystery of his words.

Gu Ran is about to give birth in the next few days, so she didn't participate in this welcome banquet, fortunately, Xiao Ruan and Beixi came, but they sat a little far away from me, fortunately, I can still chat with them before the banquet, but there are people I like, and people I don't like naturally come, like Long Shiyan and Long Shili, and even Yu Heng came, and Yu Heng actually attended as the prince's guest of the curtain, which I think is a little surprising.

The dinner was held very grandly, and the food alone was dizzying.

I remembered that there was an assassination when I came to the palace to attend the banquet last time, so when the singer came out to dance, I unconsciously grabbed Yan Beishen's hand under the desk, and Yan Beishen knew that my mind was holding back.

The second prince of the Li State came to Mocheng this time, ostensibly to see the cultural customs of the Tongqiang State, but secretly he didn't know what to fight Xiao Jiujiu, but the water came to cover it, and the troops would block it in the future.

"Your Majesty, this king heard that the former god of war came back from the dead, and I don't want to know which of these princes here is the Qing Wangye, who didn't have a chance to meet in the past, but today I want to see the style!"

This person toasted a glass of wine to the emperor Lao'er, and then the emperor also spoke up, "King Qing, I haven't seen Baili Yue, the second prince of the Li Kingdom." ”

After the words fell, Yan Beishen got up and took the wine and toasted to the second prince opposite, "I don't want the second prince to remember this king back then." ”

This Baili Yue glanced at it leisurely, but then the words that came out made people very unhappy, "I don't want the God of War to look so white and tender, haha." ”

You, do you think everyone is as dark as you, and they are about to catch up with black carbon, speechless.

"The second prince doesn't know anything, Qingwang's biological mother is a beauty, and the appearance of the son and mother is naturally a Peugeot." Yan Zituo didn't know if it was to break the siege or something else, Yan Beishen just smiled, didn't answer again, and then sat down.

These dancing singers are all twisting their waists enchantingly during the banquet, like a spirit snake writhing, but this dance is too fragrant, and the emperor is very calm today, remembering the last time he forgot his appearance, it was like two people.

Unexpectedly, after this dance, the black carbon-like second prince began to speak again, "Your Majesty, the song and dance of this Mocheng city is really unbelievably beautiful, but the song and dance of Li Guo is also a must, it is better to let the dancer brought by this prince perform an ugly dance, which should be regarded as a cheer for today's banquet." ”

The two princes have said so, who would say no, so after a while, there will be another dressed dancer to come up and dance, these dancers each cover their faces with veils, long sleeves and good at dancing, not to mention this dance I can't help but revel in it, I thought this was already the best dance, but I didn't want to jump up in the last woman in red, I don't know where she came from, but her appearance compared the original women in green clothes, today I finally know what is called' The pearls are dazzling and the stars are shaking, and the flowers are fighting and the dragons and snakes are fighting. ’

"Yan Beishen, it's so beautiful, I also want to learn to dance." I said a word to Yan Beishen in a low voice, but Yan Beiyan gave me a roll of the eyes, the meaning of which is self-evident, it is clearly to say that you can't do it.

"What's your name?" The emperor was looking at the woman in red with a smile on his face at this time, no, this emperor is afraid that he is fascinated by this woman.

Seeing the woman in red, she gave a gift, "Back to Your Majesty, the little woman's name evokes my heart." ”

Nian Xin, this name is so familiar, who has ever said these two words.

"What do you say your name is?"

Everyone present listened to it clearly, why did the emperor ask again as if he didn't believe it.

"Back to the saint, the little woman's name is called the heart, the mind is the thought of the heart, and the heart is the heart of the heart."

The woman said that she also used these two idioms in her name, I don't know if anyone had specially taught them like this, after she said this, the emperor was even a little excited, but finally he calmed down before saying, "Take off the veil and let me see your face." ”

Then I saw that this thought really took off the veil, I didn't want to hide a delicate and beautiful face under the veil, except for Long Shiyan and Beixi, I couldn't think of a third person who could match it, and the emperor sitting on the high platform even dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"Second prince, this woman can be married." The king of a country was so impatient that he asked his mind so frankly, and that Baili Yue stood up from the seat as if he had expected it a long time ago, and then saluted the emperor, "Back to the emperor, Nian Xin is the most outstanding dancer in the Li country, she is not married, but she is just ......"

This Baili Yue deliberately aroused the emperor's appetite, but the latter words were picked up by the woman's mind, "Back to Your Majesty, Nianxin already has a favorite person in his heart, this person is the former god of war of the Qiang Kingdom, and the current Qing Wangye." ”

I didn't want this thought to point the finger at Yan Beishen, I turned my head to look at Yan Beishen on the side, but I didn't want all his eyes to be on this thought at this time, could it be that Yan Beishen was also immersed in beauty and couldn't extricate himself.

The emperor probably didn't expect this woman to say this, he coughed, and turned to speak to himself, "The green king and the green princess have a deep relationship, I'm afraid that your infatuation will be in vain." ”

"Father, since the girl is devoted to His Royal Highness the Qingwang, how is the beauty of the father not as good as an adult, and I can accommodate a little dancing girl in the Qingwang Mansion." The crown prince Yan Dingchen said such a remark at this time, could it be that this woman had something to do with him, but the Long sisters sitting next to him looked at the woman in red in unison, and they didn't know what they were thinking at this time.

In fact, whether it is successful or not, it is all between the emperor's thoughts, I thought that the emperor would definitely not agree, but I didn't want him to just suppress the matter, saying that he was a little tired, and he wanted to go back to the palace first, and indicated that he wanted Yan Beishen to send him back, I was a little uneasy and followed behind Yan Beishen, but when I left the banquet, I saw that this thought showed an unbelievable smile to me, and I was uncomfortable for a while.

Today's emperor did not sit in a sedan chair, but only let a chief eunuch follow in front of the lamp, and Yan Beishen only held my hand and did not speak along the way.

"Qingwang, what do you think of this girl?"

"My father already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking his son."

"You're right, but she's too similar, too similar."

Well, I mean I don't understand at all, what does this mean by being too similar.

"Things must be opposed, and I hope that my father will reward this daughter to his son."

After Yan Beishen said this, my steps froze, but Yan Beishen still held my hand and did not let go, after so many things, I will no longer mess around like before, so I decided to believe him.

"You let me think about it, I'm a little drunk today, and I felt like I really saw Nianxin in a trance before, okay, you can step down, I'll think about it."

Saying that, Yan Beishen stopped, and the emperor himself and the eunuch gradually disappeared in front of me, and I didn't have time to ask Yan Beishen what happened, but he turned around and hugged me, "Nan Kite, I guess I will wronged you in the future." ”

"Yan Beishen, as long as the person in your heart is me, then I am not wronged." Although I don't know the true meaning of his words, I can guess some of them.

Later, the second prince of the envoy of the Li State said that he wanted to see the swordsmanship of the god of war in the past, isn't this a change of way to humiliate Yan Beishen, he is not a swordsman, how can he dance the sword in this public to help the fun, I naturally can't let his plan succeed, so he picked up the wine glass and toasted this Baili Yue glass, "Second prince, today Qingwang is a little drunk from drinking, I'm afraid I can't offer ugliness, if the second prince insists on appreciating the sword dance, when the time comes, the sword edge will go astray, but it will be uncomplaining." ”

Yan Beishen is also a little indulgent to me now, knowing that what I say will offend this Baili Yue, but he didn't stop me, but really looked drunk with his elbows on the table, looking at me with his palms on his head, staring at me so intently, it made me a little embarrassed.

"Princess Qing is really a wonderful person, since the princess is so protective of her husband, why don't you dance the sword for the princess for King Qing."

This Baili Yue may have some twists and turns in his brain circuit, he actually said something that made me dance the sword, Yan Bei just wanted to speak to stop it, but I stopped him, he wanted to find abuse, but no one stopped him.

I took the sword of the guards on the side, and as soon as I took it, I felt that this sword weighed three or four catties, and it was no problem for me to raise it, but the problem was how to control it well, I originally wanted to let Baili Yue be abused, and the person who was abused now was obviously me!

Just when I was thinking about how to raise the sword so that it would not be so difficult, Yan Bei Shen somehow came behind me, and then the whole person stuck behind me, and raised the sword in my hand high, the person who made the force was completely Yan Bei Shen, I just had to follow his steps to walk, his sword dance was smooth, obviously the person holding the sword was me, but the person who was pulling it was him.

I don't know if he is really drunk or fake drunk, his steps seem to be a little messy, but in the end, the sword passed through Baili Yue's dial impartially, Baili Yue was so frightened that the whole person fell backwards, after the sword dance, Yan Bei Shen spread the whole person behind me, if it wasn't for Kun to step forward to support me, I was afraid that I would have to fall, naturally I didn't have to accompany this group of ill-intentioned people but took Yan Bei Shen back to the house.

After waiting for three days, I finally knew what this grievance meant, that beautiful woman Nianxin entered the house as a dancing girl concubine, the reason why I didn't cry and didn't get annoyed is very simple, because this Nianxin looks almost exactly the same as Yanbei Shen's mother, and even the name of Yanbei Shen's mother is the same.

I was surprised after seeing the painting scroll collected by Yan Beishen, there are such similar people in the world, it is like two people carved out of the same mold, and now Yan Beishen can be sure that this idea is a chess piece planted by Li Guo in Mocheng, as for who she was ordered to do for the time being, the reason why Yan Beishen kept this woman by his side was just to make the best use of it.

Because Nianxin is the identity of a concubine, so all the food she eats in the house has to be approved by me, I once wondered if this person was wearing a dummy skin mask, so I once deliberately pretended to accidentally spill tea on her face, but her face did not have half a vision, it seems that she did not wear a mask.

On the one hand, I guarded against her tricks, and on the other hand, I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to Yan Beishen, so I tried to avoid meeting with her, but she came to greet me twice a day, and I couldn't refuse.

Since she entered the palace, Yan Beishen was angry by the emperor for no reason, and was punished to go to the ghost place to go to the disaster relief, this on the surface, Yan Beishen was condemned by the emperor, but I know that this emperor and Yan Beishen are acting together for outsiders to see.

As soon as Yan Beishen left Mocheng, the Ling Mansion sent someone to spread the news, saying that Gu Ran had given birth to a son of six catties and five taels, which was the best news in recent times.

When she saw Gu Ran, she had just woken up, she was looking at the little little girl she had just given birth to on the bed, her eyes were full of maternal love, the only regret was that Ling Han, who was a father, could not be with her in person, because Ling Han also went with her when Yan Beishen went to the earth.

"Nan Kite, you're here."

I walked over and saw that the child was sleeping, such a small and small point actually came out of Gu Ran's belly, I felt really amazing to be a mother, I thought Gu Ran was a child before, but I don't want to be the child's mother now.

"Gu Ran, you are so brave, you have brought a life to this world, and you will be a mother in the future."

Gu Ran smiled, it seemed to be a little difficult, and Ling Mu on the side patted me on the shoulder, "Nan Kite, let Gu Ran sleep first, she tossed all night last night, I'm afraid she's tired." ”

I nodded, then patted Gu Ran's hand, and followed Ling Mu out of the house.

"Gu Ran, this child was really offended yesterday, and the child's head didn't come out until the middle of the night, which really hurt her."

Mother Ling was full of distress for Gu Ran, I didn't care much about her own grandson, Gu Ran was really lucky to have met such a mother-in-law.

I just wanted to say something, but Ling's mother suddenly took my hand, "You and Qingwang also have to work harder, having a child can become a bond between you, as for the dancing girl in the house, no matter how she is, she is also a concubine, and she can't turn the sky around, if you are wronged, even if you come to me, I am also your nominal mother." ”

I don't know if it was Ling's mother's words to my heart, I reached out and hugged Ling's mother, how many years, I didn't know that it was so good to have a mother, I felt that I was so happy, someone would put himself in my shoes like this, "Mother, I will." ”

After that, I didn't stay in the Ling Mansion for a long time, but I didn't want to go out to the Ling Mansion to see Gu Ran during the time that something happened in the house.
