The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 24 Joy as a Hook
Before the middle-aged man approached, King Ning on the side had already landed on one knee and made a big salute. Jin Yu also knelt down when she saw this posture, but she didn't expect that her trip was really not in vain, and she unexpectedly saw the current master of Qi Kingdom, Emperor Qi Jing Yi Qi won a success.
Emperor Qi Jing's real name is Lian Sheng, but the rumors about him have nothing to do with this name.
It is rumored that this Emperor Qi Jing is kind-hearted, and he is the most virtuous of the princes under the throne of the first emperor, but he is also the one who is not treated by the first emperor.
The first emperor called for martial arts, emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, and always believed in winning the world by force. But this Emperor Jing not only does not like to fight, but is obsessed with poetry, books, rituals and music, cultivating morality, and naturally does not get the blue eyes of the first emperor.
But no one expected that in the end, it was the prince Wen who was the least popular with the first emperor to inherit the unification. Fortunately, although he is not as heroic and good at fighting as the first emperor, he can barely be regarded as a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
It seems that this emperor is not doing very well, but Jin Yu feels that he may be far more of a father than the previous emperor.
Although Jin Yan wasn't sure what it meant to be a father, she smelled her father when she died. Even though the smell had already contaminated the foul air in the high wall, Jin Yu could still vaguely see its original appearance, although only a faint shadow remained.
She accidentally met Emperor Jing on this trip, which is not a bad thing. But she didn't expect that she happened to be in the palace, she was only intimidated by him yesterday because of King Ning's matter, and even put her sword on her neck. As a result, she turned her head and came together with King Ning again, and she was treated squarely by this plague god, and she didn't know how he was going to settle accounts with her when she turned around.
Don't stage another night of murder in the dark moon and high wind, she will really whimper.
However, speaking of which, she is already a soul body, can these mortals still let her die again? But Yanniang also said that as long as she wears the haunting hairpin, she will be the same as ordinary people.
It seems that the possibility of dying again cannot be ruled out, so it is better to be careful.
"Let's all be flat, I just discussed with the dead in the imperial study, and when I was done, I thought about going out for a walk. I heard a noise in the garden from afar, and when I came, it turned out that Xiao Wei was breaking the formation, so I didn't make a sound, but I didn't expect to see a good show unexpectedly. ”
"Weichen violates the palace rules by entering the palace without permission, please punish Your Majesty."
The first time he sneaked into the palace, he was caught by Emperor Jing, and it was really a coincidence that he couldn't write a book, it seems that he can't escape the name of trespassing in the harem.
"Flat, you grew up here. After so many years, it's rare that you are finally willing to return to Yudu, and it's understandable that you want to come in and take a look, and there is no need to punish you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Ning and Xiao Wei stood up, and Jin Wei secretly glanced up, but she just met Emperor Jing's gaze. It's really unlucky to be caught all the time today.
"This girl should be flat too."
Jin Yu stood up upright, and didn't dare to look up blindly. But her ears are not idle, and from Emperor Jing's voice, you can judge that his reputation as "Prince Wen" is not in vain, but he has not lost any of the majesty that an emperor should have.
What's more, his long and calm skills are definitely kung fu, but his voice sounds lacking in qi, most likely due to a long-term illness or a dark injury.
No wonder Mr. Lu said that Emperor Jing's health is getting worse and worse.
The one on the side pursed the corners of his lips and stood behind Emperor Jing expressionlessly. Jin Yu was at a loss in her heart, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, but saw that she was staring at her gloomily.
Jin Yu silently withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
King Ning and Xiao Wei also stood aside, King Ning still looked indifferent, but Xiao Wei was a little worried about her, and couldn't help but keep glancing at her.
"This girl looks at her eyes, the first time she has entered the palace?"
"Little girl Jin Yan, I am fortunate to know King Ning and General Xiao. Meng Erwei did not give up, and kindly took the little girl into the palace to take a look at the magnificence of the palace, but he didn't expect to collide with His Majesty and beg His Majesty for forgiveness. ”
"Oh? I don't remember that there was an official surnamed Jin in the DPRK. ”
"The little girl is just a folk girl, and she has never been lucky enough to climb any adult."
"Then how did you know Du'er and Xiao Wei?"
Jin Yu opened her mouth cautiously, and after careful consideration, she told Emperor Jing an interesting story about her and Xiao Wei's inacquaintance, although it was not as wonderful as storytelling, it sounded like an accident.
"Speaking of which, you do have some fate with the two of them. I don't know where the girl's family lives, what relatives she has, and why did she come to Yudu alone? ”
Jin Yu had already guessed that Emperor Jing would ask this question sooner or later, and originally wanted to find a reason to prevaricate, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly stopped, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.
She didn't mention anything about her death, and there was no special reason for her, but she was just subconsciously unwilling to have more branches, but in the eyes of insiders, she was deliberately concealing it.
This Emperor Jing does seem to be as kind-hearted as the legend says, and he is a virtuous monarch, but this kind-hearted family does not mean that he is dumb and incompetent, deaf and blind, otherwise how could he have been dealing with Ye Xiang for more than 20 years.
Moreover, the people who came out of the royal family, even the servants are all fine, even if this Emperor Jing is kind-hearted, how can he really know nothing about the things under his feet and ignore them, not to mention that this is a major matter related to the two princes.
Since he has this question, there must be a deep meaning in it, and if she continues to conceal it, I am afraid that it will be the real endless trouble.
Although she wasn't sure whether Emperor Jing knew or didn't know, as the saying goes, one lie is not difficult, but the difficult thing is to cover up the first lie with countless lies
"Back to Your Majesty, the little girl suffered a catastrophe three years ago, but fortunately she was rescued by Yanniang and luckily picked up a life. But when the little girl woke up, her mind was blank, and even the name Jin Yu was given by Yan Niang. ”
"You mean, you can't remember anything?"
"Indeed, I dare not hide anything."
"So what is the identity of the Yan Niang you just mentioned?"
"Yan Niang was originally a subordinate of Lord Xuan, and the little girl has always been by her side. It wasn't until a few days ago that Yan Niang traveled far away, and she couldn't rest assured that she couldn't leave the little girl, so she let the little girl come to Yudu to seek refuge in King Xuan. ”
"So, you're doing something for the dead now?"
"King Meng Xuan will not give up, he is willing to take in the little girl, and the little girl should do everything for the prince."
Emperor Jing paused, glanced at Yan meaningfully, and took his gaze back from Jin Yu expressionlessly.
"I see that your kung fu is good, and you are also calm in dealing with it, and it is also appropriate to do things for the deceased. What else would you do besides martial arts? ”
"Fortunately, Yan Niang carefully taught, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are taught, but unfortunately the little girl's qualifications are mediocre and shallow, although she has learned, she is not proficient."
"Your kung fu is really good, Yu'er and Xiao Wei are both martial artists, it's not surprising that you can be appreciated by them. But Ju'er has never liked these things, so how can you get him to look the other way? ”
"Father, although the sons and daughters have known each other for a short time, they are very close to each other, and the cause has nothing to do with talent and learning."
"Oh? So what is so special about this Jin girl? ”
Erchen often chatted with her, and found that she was thoughtful and unique, and fellowship with her could always give people unexpected gains, so Erchen was willing to take her as a friend. If you have to say it to learn... Miss Jin's piano skills have a unique style. ”
"This opinion is a little new, I don't know what Xuan'er thinks?"
"Indeed, as the imperial brother said, Jin Wei is thorough in her mind and strong in martial arts, and she is indeed a good helper for her sons."
"Yes, it's the first time I've heard you praise a girl, and I'm even more curious."
"The two princes praised falsely, and the little girl was ashamed."
Emperor Jing listened to what the two said, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, lacking the majesty of an emperor, but like an approachable elder. Only then did Jin Yu dare to raise her eyes slightly, secretly looking at this Emperor Jing of the Qi Kingdom.
This Emperor Jing is simply a mature version of King Ning, almost carved out of a mold.
However, the vicissitudes of wisdom revealed in the eyes of this Emperor Jing are far from being comparable to King Ning.
Calculated that he should be almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, maybe he looks younger because he is well-maintained, but the haggard old state revealed between his eyebrows is very obvious.
She wasn't mistaken.
"Why don't you ask the girl to play a song, so that I can hear what the girl's heart is?"
"This... Your Majesty has this Yaxing, how can the little girl not obey it. ”
"I see that there is a lyre in this pavilion, why don't you use it?"
"But it's up to Your Majesty to decide."
I didn't expect Emperor Jing's interest to be so good today, it seems that this song can't be avoided.
But speaking of this piano skill, she just plucked it a few times when she was drinking a cow at a banquet before, but she didn't want to get into King Ning's eyes, and then looked at the subtle smile on King Ning's face at this time, didn't she have this idea a long time ago?
Didn't you see Emperor Jing present today, so he said this on purpose? After all, this Emperor Jing opened his mouth, but it was not so easy to prevaricate. Moreover, although he didn't say anything, his eyes were already gloomy and about to drip water.
Jin Yu was a little annoyed and indignant in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at King Ning, but saw that the smile on the corner of King Ning's mouth deepened a little, this emperor's house really has no fuel-efficient lamps.
However, Jin Yu patronized King Hening, and didn't realize that this glance had already been clearly seen by King Xuan and Emperor Jing on the side.
He frowned, squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a sullen breath in his heart, and his face became even colder. However, he has always been restrained and restrained, but in the blink of an eye, he has returned to normal.
As the saying goes, the more scruples you have, the more things go wrong, if you put it in normal times, I am afraid that no one will notice such a subtle and instantaneous change, but Emperor Jing was originally careful, and all the changes in expression between the three of them fell in his eyes.
Emperor Jing saw it clearly in his eyes, and his heart was like a mirror, but he didn't show half of it on his face. He still smiled gently and elegantly, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.
These people sat around the pavilion, they really had their own thoughts, but their faces were harmonious, only Xiao Wei sat on the side and drank tea by himself, unaware.
Seeing that several people had already sat down, Jin Yu sat down on the piano bench, plucked the strings a few times, and tried the timbre.
Speaking of this piano song, the song she is most familiar with is probably "War Spirit", but she doesn't like this piece at all, and even rejects it a little, but she can't say why.
She was hesitating about which song to choose, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two small words '婳夜' engraved on the tail of the piano.
Why don't you just play a song "The Night"?
Although it is not suitable for the occasion, it is not without merit.
She swept a few strings low, then pulled up a chord to play the top note of "The Night."
Adjusted, Emperor Jing's face changed.
