Chapter 285: Between the Three Kingdoms
Seeing King Chen, Mama Jin showed a look of embarrassment. He bowed his head and said, "The old slave deserves to die, because he has the trust of His Highness." ”
"What's the matter, you're going to die or live? Let's talk about it. "Actually, you don't need to ask King Chen to know, it must be Lu Caixi's side that has made some trouble.
Rong Yunxi took off his cloak for King Chen, hung it on the hanger, and went to the cabinet for him to get the civilian clothes he wore at home.
I heard that Mama Jin reported to her again, and she reported it to King Chen. Naturally, she will not wronged Lu Caixi, she still tells the truth, Lu Caixi is polite to her, she still says it very clearly.
King Chen smiled: "Mama, don't be careful, it seems that Cai Xi respects you very much." I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so I will carefully ask you to come out. ”
"Madame has raised the old slave." Mama Jin smiled embarrassedly.
"She's just having a temper tantrum, and she's pregnant, so it's inevitable that her mood will be unstable. Wait for the king to take Mama back, talk to her well, she will not dare to embarrass Mama in the future. King Chen said.
Rong Yunxi held back a smile, thinking that Mama Jin has the intention of dying headfirst now, right?
knew that King Chen would not take Lu Caixi lightly. So Lu Caixi's struggle was all in vain.
"Mama will go outside and wait for a while, and when the king changes into his court clothes, he will take you back to the Xianglai Courtyard." King Chen.
"Yes." Mama Jin replied and respectfully retreated.
knew that His Highness would not let her go. When you are old, why do you still suffer this sin? It's really bad luck!
Rong Yunxi handed a civilian robe to King Chen, and served him to change out of court clothes. For a while, she had become accustomed to being so "served" to King Chen after he went down to court. seems to be because of guilt in his heart, always thinking of using some extra care to make up for the fact that he can't have a husband and wife with him.
"You're going with the king?"
Rong Yunxi was tying a belt for King Chen, and King Chen asked.
"I'm not going." Rong Yun Xi Road.
King Chen smiled, and did not force her. Knowing that she is in trouble, she will always pick herself out as soon as possible. I want her to be nosy once, but it's not easy.
After changing his clothes, Rong Yunxi took King Chen another cloak that was at home and was not contaminated with cold air, and draped it over his shoulders.
King Chen smiled: "Why do you care so much about me, you know how to hurt people too well." It's only been a few steps, and I'm afraid I'll freeze. ”
Rong Yunxi glanced at him and pushed him: "Go quickly, I'm going to freeze to death in a while!" ”
King Chen smiled and pinched her face: "You, except for not being with this king, it's okay anywhere." ”
"Hurry up, hurry up! Why is it so verbose! Rong Yunxi had already pushed him directly to the door.
knew that he was going to knock her on the side as soon as he had the opportunity.
Fortunately, she is a person with strong concentration, otherwise she might have been fooled by him.
I don't know what King Chen and Lu Caixi said, anyway, after a while, King Chen came back. And looking at the little expression that seemed to be nothing, I knew that I must have left Mama Jin in Xianglai Courtyard again. This little episode is not a problem at all in King Chen.
"This afternoon, the envoy of the Lei Kingdom entered Beijing, and it was the crown prince of the Lei Kingdom who came, but the father asked the king to greet him. You say, "What is the reasoning behind this?" King Chen leaned on the head of the bed, testing her again.
"My father made such an arrangement, presumably not to belittle the crown prince and promote you, but just to reduce the weight of the prince of the Thunder Kingdom's visit. My Fengguo is located in the Central Plains, the land is vast, and in the eyes of my father, the people of the Thunder Country have always been barbarians. How can the prince of my Wind Country be compared to the prince of the Thunder Country? Therefore, when the prince of Lei Guo came to visit, we greeted him with a prince. How about my answer, to the satisfaction of His Highness? Can you pass the test? ”
King Chen smiled: "It's really something that can't stop you." ”
"Fortunately, this time the eldest brother is quite smart, and he didn't think that his father's arrangement was aimed at him, otherwise he would have to complain again...... In the afternoon, you go with this king, and we will greet him with family etiquette, the ceremony is not grand, and he can't find anything wrong. King Chen said.
"Hmm." Rong Yunxi responded.
Lei Qianliu is not very good. It is said that he looks tall and big, a typical Lei country man. This year is only nineteen, and the son born to the concubine has a child. And the temper is quite hot, and there are countless women who serve him who don't live for three years.
On the Thunder Country and the frontier side, there is still a story about the barbaric nature of the prince of the Thunder Country.
It is said that when Lei Qianliu was fifteen years old, he fell in love with a palace daughter in the palace, and the queen felt that her son was also old enough to find someone to serve, so she gave him this palace daughter. Lei Qianliu played for three days, for three whole days, closed doors, and played with this palace daughter in the East Palace. On the fourth day, the slaves and maids serving in the East Palace, carrying the body of the palace daughter, came out, and was killed by a knife in the throat, and her eyes were gouged out.
In the East Palace, the only one who can attack Lei Qianliu's woman is Lei Qianliu himself. Later, when Emperor Lei asked, Lei Qianliu gave an explanation, "I am the prince's noble body, and when I was jerky for the first time, I was looked at by this woman and kept her alive, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not go out and talk nonsense in the future." And she died unjustly, I'm afraid that she will remember me, and what if she turns into a ghost and comes to me for revenge another day? So ruined her eyes, so that if she wants revenge, she can't see the way or find anyone. ”
Emperor Lei listened to his explanation, and instead of blaming him, he laughed and said, "Wu'er is a person who has achieved great things, and he can bear the trust." ”
Although I don't know whether this conversation is true or not, anyone who is executed by Lei Qianliu and thinks that he died unjustly will definitely order someone to gouge out his eyes, in order to make his ghost have no way to take revenge.
For such a person, Rong Yunxi really can't raise half a good impression. To greet him, it is natural to have some hypocrisy and response.
And some time ago, the wind country had already spread. It is said that the prince of the Lei Kingdom came here this time to make peace with the Wind Country, and he wants to marry a princess of the Wind Country and go back to be the crown princess.
The Thunder Country and the Fire Country have always been in a hostile state due to some historical grievances, and they both want to annex each other, but so far neither of them has the ability.
In the battle between the Thunder Country and the Fire Country, the Wind Country has always been neutral and does not want to get involved. So I haven't been dealing with the two countries much, so as not to let the other side grasp the handle.
But in August of this year, on the border between the Wind Nation and the Fire Nation, a spy from the Fire Nation was caught. From this spy, he found a map of the border of the Wind Country, which was almost complete. Afterwards, General Chu, who was stationed in Rongcheng on the border, sent people to infiltrate the Fire Country, and paid special attention to the Fire Country's actions. It was discovered that it was training in secret, and all the combat tactics were made in response to the situation in these cities on the frontier of the Wind Country.
It can be seen that it has coveted the border of the wind country.
But because the spy didn't go back for a long time, they probably expected that the spy was caught, so they didn't dare to continue the training. And taking advantage of the New Year, just two days ago, they also handed a letter of worship to the Wind Country, saying that they would send their second prince to come and walk around.
Its intention, naturally, is self-evident, and it is also to win over the wind country. But in fact, he is doing a wooing move, trying to make the Wind Country relax its vigilance, and at the same time, he is holding back to deal with the Wind Country.
So the current situation is that the Wind Country doesn't want to be involved, but it can't help but let itself be remembered. It is not easy to remain neutral for a long time.
"Does my father have the intention of uniting the Thunder Kingdom?" Rong Yunxi sat on the chair in front of the dresser, lowered her head and embroidered mandarin ducks for a while, and looked up and asked.
"Huh?" King Chen lay on the bed, hanging in a daze.
Rong Yunxi glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, you are closest to Jue." ”
"How is that possible? This king is closest to you. ”
Rong Yunxi didn't bother to answer his flamboyant tongue.
King Chen didn't make a fuss anymore, and Zhengse said: "What my father means is to accept the overtures of the Thunder Country first, and on the surface reach an alliance with the Thunder Country, to jointly deal with the Fire Country." The Thunder Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom have a vendetta and are planning to attack the Youyun Three Prefectures of the Fire Country recently. Once they have the Wind Nation behind them, they will definitely be able to deal with them first, and they will have a relatively easy deal to deal with. In this way, the Wind Country is actually using the Thunder Country to attack the Fire Country, which is quite advantageous for the Wind Country. ”
"But the Emperor of the Thunder Country is not a fool, how can he not know the intention of the Wind Country to use them, it is just a plan", Rong Yunxi said, "What the Wind Country thinks is to use the Thunder Country to extinguish the Fire Country, and when they are almost defeated and the Thunder Country is about to win, they will copy the Thunder Country from the rear, and destroy or subdue these two countries in one fell swoop." And what Lei Guo thinks about is to use the power of the Wind Country to extinguish the Fire Country first, and then strengthen his own power, and then confront the Wind Country. ”
King Chen smiled: "So, the current situation is that each has its own calculations, and this union is more dangerous than not uniting." When the time comes, it will depend on who is more stable and ruthless. But now, there is no other way than to unite on the surface. The other two countries have a war spirit, and the Wind Country can't avoid it. Either unite the Thunder Nation or unite the Fire Nation. The Father Emperor felt that the Fire Emperor was more difficult to deal with, so he couldn't leave him behind. ”
"So...... This time, there must be a princess who marries into the country of thunder? "Now the war is not a top priority, the top priority is whether the Wind Country will send the real princess to make peace.
The emperor's heirs are thin, only five sons and two princesses, over the years, there are very few new concubines in the palace who are pregnant, and occasionally they are pregnant, and they are not blessed. Therefore, if the emperor really has the intention of letting his daughter go to get married, then among Feng Beining and Feng Beiyi, there must be an unlucky person who wants to marry into the Lei Kingdom......
