Chapter Twenty-Three: A Glimpse
By the way, he said that he had a very good relationship with Hongyun, how could he not have seen Hongyun's appearance, but in the memory he recalled, she met him twice before and after as Hongyun, and each time she was across the lake, and there was a hat to cover it, how could he see Hongyun's true face?
It's been three years since I crossed over, and in my dreams every night, Wu Jinghong picked up the memories of this princess of Yunguo little by little, from birth to death on the mountain road, among which the two lakeside encounters related to this Shuoguo Shura King are those two lakeside encounters. It doesn't make sense that she forgot something, right?
"Hmm, I'm so dizzy......" Jiuzun staggered under his feet, and he was about to fall on Wu Jinghong, but he stopped it with one foot, and his face full of wine was close to Wu Jinghong, "Sure enough, look at it this way, Hongyun, you really have a face of a closed moon and a shy flower, and you are as beautiful as my imperial sister!" ”
Sister Huang? Wu Jinghong frowned slightly, as a princess of Yunguo, she had never heard of an eldest princess in Shuoguo.
Looking at Jiuzun's drunken appearance, isn't he talking nonsense?
"This wine is so strong, Hongyun, quickly, you can taste it too!" Jiuzun barely stabilized his body, and handed over the wine bottle he was carrying, using too much force, and some wine spilled out of the sloping bottle.
Wu Jinghong pursed her lips and was silent, if she said that King Shura was a cup of poured wine, she would never believe it. But looking at Jiuzun's current state, it is conceivable that this wine is very powerful, and it is better for her not to try it casually.
"What? Hongyun don't want it? Don't you like to taste the best wine in the world? Jiuzun staggered back his hand and poured another sip into the mouth of the bottle, smacking his lips and burping.
"With the way you drink like this, it's no wonder you're drunk like this." Wu Jinghong shook his head helplessly, and the initial tension in his heart was wiped out by Jiuzun like this. She reached out and took the wine bottle from Jiuzun's hand, and persuaded in a good voice, "Get some sleep, I'll go to Adom and ask for a bowl of sobering soup for you." ”
Who knew that Jiuzun turned over and dodged Wu Jinghong's hand to help him, and leaned crookedly on the edge of the table, "If you don't sleep, you don't sleep, you still have to chat with the imperial sister!" ”
Wu Jinghong chuckled, does this really regard her as a royal sister? Speaking of which, she was also curious, why was this unknown princess of Shuo so unknown? Could it be that there is any ulterior secret of the Shuo royal family?
Although I really want to chat with Jiuzun like this to find out some secrets of the Shuo royal family, but in the face of Jiuzun, Wu Jinghong really can't do such a thing to take advantage of people's danger - who knows if this person with a clear heart is pretending to be drunk and testing her?
"Okay, okay, it's okay to talk, but you have to sober up first." Wu Jinghong skillfully pulled Jiuzun into the inner room and leaned against the wooden bed, "You are chatting with me drunkenly now, don't say that I took advantage of you when you wake up in a while." ”
After a pause, she changed her words again, "No, you should have taken advantage of me." ”
She has regained her youth and beauty, and she is not an old woman, so she is the one who wants to be taken advantage of, right? Although Jiuzun's appearance is also very greedy...... Wu Jinghong's eyes drifted to Jiuzun's face, and he saw that his intoxicated eyes were no longer as bright as usual, but because of the hazy drunkenness, he showed a different "temptation" from his usual days. Coupled with the slight redness of his cheeks, his originally heroic face was softened a lot, and his thin lips were stained with a little crystal wine - Wu Jinghong hurriedly withdrew his gaze, only to feel that his head was deprived of oxygen, as if he was drunk by the fragrance of wine in the room.
"I, I'll go get the decanting soup first!"
She almost ran away, holding her legs a little limp and running out of the room.
"Hehe......" As soon as the back of Wu Jinghong was far away, Jiuzun's eyes became clear, he shook his head, the tip of his nose sniffed deeply at the fragrance of the room, the tip of his tongue hooked the wine on his lips, and smiled slyly, "It's really good wine, it's a pity that you don't drink it~"
After saying that, he lay down relaxedly, staring at the top of the bed, and gradually lost his mind.
Sister Huang, he hasn't mentioned it in years. For a moment just now, he really saw Wu Jinghong's side face as the imperial sister, but the imperial sister was not as gentle as her, nor did she have those superfluous feelings.
I don't know how long it took, Wu Jinghong walked into the room gently, followed by Xiwen Ayu.
"King Shura is asleep?" As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Jiuzun breathing steadily on the bed, and Xiwen replied that Yu was full of curiosity and asked, "Princess, what did you say?" ”
"He was drunk and talking nonsense, and I didn't understand it." Wu Jinghong took the decanting soup from Xiwen Dayu's hand, fed it to Jiuzun carefully, and whispered, "I don't know what kind of wine he brought from your lord, his amount of wine is not so weak." ”
"Smell this smell, it must be the poisonous wine!" Xiwen replied to Yuman and said indifferently, "The strength of the wine is fake, and you will wake up after a long time of drunkenness." However, it is only suitable for men to drink, and it is actually very beneficial to listen to the scary name. ”
Hearing this, Wu Jinghong's movements stopped, the spoon stirred in the bowl, and he suddenly felt a little bored. I spent half a day trying to feed him the decanting soup, dare to love the snake to add to it?
His eyes turned from the bowl to Jiuzun's face, only to find that Jiuzun had woken up, looking at her with shining eyes.
"......" Wu looked at him speechlessly, didn't you eavesdrop on her talking to Xiwen Ayu when you woke up and didn't say anything?
"What's so good?" Jiuzun blinked, not at all conscious of wanting to eavesdrop but being discovered, but licked his lips greedily, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Wu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, so he continued the movements of his hands, and his smiling face was full of gentle style.
opened his mouth to take a spoonful, and Jiuzun squinted his eyes with enjoyment, "This kind of treatment is also rare, could it be that this bowl of sweet and sour decanting soup is also made by Hongyun?" ”
"Why do you know I'm Hongyun?" Wu Jinghong put down the bowl and asked indifferently.
Who knew that Jiuzun narrowed his eyes, and his face became dangerous for a moment, "You really forgot." ”
"Two conversations on the shore of Yuehuai Lake?" Wu Jinghong's face did not change, and his tone was calm.
"Nope." Jiuzun turned over and got out of bed, his long hair was neatly thrown behind his head, there was no wine to set off, and his face returned to his former handsome and heroic spirit, "In the winter of the fifth year of Emperor Qianming, the palace of Yunguo." ”
Wu was startled, his heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat, and when he came back to his senses, Jiuzun had already left.
In the fifth year of Emperor Qianming, it was the last year before the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion began, and the situation was already very tense at that time, and the generals in the court often led the orders to go north, and the father and emperor occasionally sighed in front of them, "The new emperor of Shuo is ambitious, and I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the world!" ”
At that time, Jiuzun had not yet become king, and Jiu Yao was only a little emperor who had just ascended the throne, so she would argue with her father, "The foundation of the new emperor of Shuo is unstable, and it will take three or five years to sort out the domestic government and politics, and my father should not worry about the sky." ”
She still remembered her father's wry smile and her mother's gentle shaking to stop her movements.
The queen told her that the royal families of each country have their own way of working, and those in high positions may not be on their own.
Even General Mao, who is already at the border, the master she has followed since she was a child also taught her in the letter, "Being prepared for danger in times of peace is the way to strengthen the country, he is strong and I avoid the edge, and he is weak and I stick to one side!" ”
It was also during that time that an anonymous guest came from afar and was quietly admitted to the palace by his father and mother. When she learned about it, she went to the council hall out of curiosity.
"Your Highness's young talent, it's really rare, it's just that I'm still young, and this matter is not appropriate."
Her father's voice was as majestic and solemn as it was in front of the ministers, but she heard a different kind of prudence and seriousness than before.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty think about it anymore?"
Hearing this voice, her heart moved, and she poked her head out curiously, only to see a small figure standing steadily in the hall, which didn't look much taller than her, but it was extraordinary. Most of his black cloak was covered by a black cloak, and only his small head was still exposed.
"I really need some time, why don't Your Highness stay in the palace first, and I will give you an answer in three days!"
She glanced at Gao Tai, her father's face was solemn, his eyes were firm, but his tone was a little hesitant, as if he was thinking about something. The queen mother sat quietly on the sidelines, her eyes gentle, and she didn't see any special emotions.
She turned her eyes and wanted to take another look at the face of the young man with a nice voice, but in the blink of an eye, she fell into a pair of phoenix eyes. Those dark eyes were full of rage, so frightened that she immediately shrunk her neck and covered her lips and whispered.
"In that case, I'll wait a few days."
She heard the young man's voice smile a little more, but it was a little more gloomy.
"Princess, Mama and her father-in-law said that when the man came, he didn't say who he was, and His Majesty didn't ask, as if he already knew."
"Princess, that person was taken to live in Miyue Palace."
"Princess, that man has not come out today."
On the second day, she sent people to inquire about everything, but she didn't hear any useful news, only that her father had arranged him in Miyue Palace.
Miyue Palace and her Nihua Palace were located at the north and south ends of the palace, separated by a long distance, so she didn't need to think twice to understand what her father meant - to stay away from that person.
Although she somehow, she has always regarded the interests of the royal family of Yunguo above all else, so she unconditionally trusted the decisions of her father and mother, and since then she has also broken her curiosity and continued to live in study and dance.
"It turned out to be you." Wu Jinghong shook his head helplessly, just a glimpse in the hall of the council, he could actually remember himself? She can only tell when she thinks about it now, the young man with a clear and beautiful voice but dark and scary eyes back then is the current King Shura.
However, with only that glimpse, how did you catch a glimpse of me as Hongyun? At that time, her identity was the princess of Yunguo! What's more, Hongyun was not famous back then, and it was only rumored in the imperial capital of Yunguo.
Wu Jinghong frowned, raised his eyes to look in the direction of Jiuzun's departure, and had the urge to catch up and ask clearly.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess......" Xiwen Ayu, who had been watching silently for a long time, couldn't help but remind him, "The lord of the kingdom and Adom are waiting for you in the main hall to discuss the matter of disaster management......
