Chapter 15: Congratulations from all directions

There are many wine shops in Changjing, and most of them are complicated, there are many people who dine, the dishes are more exquisite, there are quiet private rooms and you can listen to music while listening, and a restaurant called "Zhu Ji Restaurant" has won unique praise.

Zhu Ji wine is good food, this brewed Xinghuacun Fenjiu is a famous mellow wine in Changjing, not to mention steamed bear paws, steamed lambs, steamed deer antlers, as long as you can tell, what kind of delicacies and seas can be made for you, even the imperial chef in the palace is just like this, so it is widely welcomed by the noble gatekeepers.

In the wing room, the visiting singer will play the bamboo flute and pipa, there is a piece called "Gusu Xing", the rhyme is tactful, sometimes brisk, sometimes surging, one after another, the melody is melodious for a long time, refreshing and pleasant.

At the end of the song, Chu Hui explained: "The original lyrics of this song are about the lyricist's unforgettable experience of Gusu City, and the song is played slowly, like a dream, which expresses the good memories of the past and the longing for his hometown." ”

Zhifeng's eyes were a little moist when she heard this, she was homesick, she had never been away from home for so long, and there was no hope of returning.

She suddenly asked with a depressed face: "If you marry me, will there be someone else in the future?" ”

Although it is common for a man from the royal family to have three wives and four concubines, but her father only married her mother in his life, she thought, there should be very few such men in the world.

Remembering when she was a child, she asked the same question to the queen mother, asking why her father had no other concubines, and the queen mother said: He dares? The head was screwed off for him.

She laughed and decided to take the queen mother as a model, but when she grew up, she knew that her father was not afraid of the queen mother, but that he only had the queen mother in his heart, and the furrows in his chest poured out the world, and the affection in his eyes could no longer tolerate others.

Chu Yu gently touched her little head, and said with a leisurely smile: "I have been thinking about something all day long, I have been poisoned since I was a child, fallen into the water, shot by secret arrows, etc. more than ten times, and ended up weak and sick, the imperial doctor said that I would not live to be twenty-five years old, so I wasted my time, I didn't ask about political affairs, and women didn't want to marry." It was you who made me change my mind, my head is big with you, wouldn't another one kill me? ”

She asked, "What you said is true?" ”

He replied, "I'm a turtle bastard lying to you." ”

When he was twelve years old, his grandmother saw that he was depressed all day, so she told him the truth about his mother's assassination, so that he could live with hope. When he came back to Changjing, he was in the open, but secretly he cultivated a lot of secret stakes and eyeliner, and never stopped looking for evidence, in order to wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

After the death of his mother, his grandfather was a general, afraid of assassination by people with a heart, high merit and high power, since ancient times, the loyal ministers who had too much military power did not end well, and the second daughter was left in Beijing, the emperor held the lifeblood of the Situ family, and his heart was naturally relieved a lot, he Situ Jing invited himself to go to the Jibei fiefdom to guard, far away in the frontier will not be anti and dare not rebel, the family has changed for ten years, only the emperor has to be called, in order to return to Beijing.

Therefore, the emperor loves and cares about his son Chu Hao, and he is concerned about the power of his mother's Situ family, but because he wants to balance the party of Sima Xiangguo and the queen of the current dynasty, the Situ family is also indispensable.

Miao Zhifeng thought to himself, Chu Hao's life experience is also complicated, how can he live until now, without putting on a disguise, and practicing a hard-hearted heart? So that time when she saw him kill someone in Qinglong Mountain, she thought that he was ruthless, and among the people he knew around him, he was pretending to be a swinger, and when facing her, he never pretended or disdained to pretend, it can be seen that Chu Hao has always been at ease with her, but she found that she began to rely on him gradually, afraid that she would never be able to leave him again, and she was faintly afraid in her heart.

Chu Hao is good to her, but because she is simple-minded and will not think about harming people, although she was a little rude at first, but she will cherish what he gave, he thinks it is worth it to be good to her, the most important thing is that with her brain, she can't calculate him......

This is the first heart-to-heart conversation between the two since they met, and they got a satisfactory answer, and the haze in Zhifeng's heart was swept away, and she happily ate the things on the table, grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it very deliciously.

Chu Hao poured her a glass of wine on the side and handed it over intimately: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Zhifeng felt that the chili pepper added to the chicken leg was too spicy, so he took the glass of wine and drank it up, who knew that his mouth was even hotter, and he took a "poof" breath and sprayed Chu Yu.

The culprit pointed at Chu Hao, laughing heartily, Chu Yu stared at her with an iceberg face, his hair and clothes were wet, His Royal Highness King Qi, who has always loved cleanliness, clenched his fists, and could only swallow his anger and watch her make trouble.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street outside, and it was the envoys of the Khitan and other foreign nationalities who brought gifts to congratulate me.

Lausanne pushed the door and came in to report: "Master, Your Majesty ordered someone to send a post, saying that tomorrow will be a banquet for the envoys in the Honghu Palace, and also invite the civil and military officials and princes to be present." ”

Chu Hao took the post and looked at it, and Luosang couldn't help but smile on the side: "The master is so embarrassed, this is the princess's masterpiece?" ”

Zhifeng smiled back and forth, and Lausanne secretly gave her a thumbs up, "If you provoke our Royal Highness, you can still live unharmed, I'm afraid only you are the princess." ”

"What are you laughing at, get out!"

Chu Yu threw a pig's trotter to the little guard who talked a lot, and the guy moved like a puppy and grabbed it, and said with a whimper: "Thank you for the master's reward, I'll get out immediately." Then he rolled around neatly, and the man was gone.

After August 15 every year, it is the period when small foreign countries come to Southern Chu to congratulate, which is nothing more than to receive envoys, continue the peace clause, and let them continue to obtain the protection of Southern Chu, and Southern Chu can also share economic exchanges with them, and introduce fine silk fabrics and papermaking, flavor and fragrance purification and other processes.

The Honghu Hall is tall and wide, the banquet is specially set up, accommodating 100 people to sit, and the hall can be seen singing and dancing.

The palace raised a group of dancing girls, and began to prepare for singing and dancing early, but I heard that this year is different from previous years, and the person leading the dance this year is not an ordinary dancing girl, but the daughter of the king of Youjun, Xiangning County Lord, 19 years old, she is the grandnephew of the queen mother, who almost married Chu Hui back then.

Now that he sees Chu Hui in high spirits, his body seems to be better, he is motivated, no longer muddy, he seems to be the most endearing among the princes, the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix among people, Xiang Ning has been wandering on Chu Hui intentionally or unintentionally since he stepped into the hall.

Good horses don't eat back grass, and they regret it at this time?

The royal relatives can bring their families to participate in the banquet, Chu Hui wore the costume of the prince to attend, sitting next to the wonderful wind, today's scene is grand, she gave up the daily simple dress, combed the snake bun, the pink peach blossom on both sides of the three golden butterfly hairpins, the central hair accessories with pearl white shell Dianying. Fan Dai is lightly applied, the forehead appliquΓ© blooms like a red plum, the face is crimson like the dawn of the sunrise, the whole dress is fairy, and the charm is extraordinary.

Then someone came in, and when he saw the saint from afar, he began to worship, wearing a lotus crown on his head, with gray hair and beard, it was Chu Hui's maternal grandfather Situ Jing, who had traveled thousands of miles before returning to Changjing.

After seeing the ceremony, Situ Jing didn't care about anything else, he pounced directly on his grandson, hugged Chu Yu, patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and laughed heartily: "My grandson is handsome, I haven't seen him for half a year, and he is much more energetic!" ”

Chu Hui's mouth is also a day, and he is never ashamed to praise himself: "That's not the joy of seeing a foreign fair and arriving in Beijing and being a grandson, no, as soon as I am happy, I will look better again." ”
