After Shi Xihua left, the ink marks were like a puppet that had lost its soul, and there was no longer any hope. Ning Huchen arranged for someone to send him to the underworld to fulfill his promise to Shi Xihua and help him reincarnate. After all this series of things was done, she returned to humanity.

And on the way back, she didn't notice a shadowy presence behind her.

On the second day of leaving the palace, Ning Huchen went to the post house to meet with Xunqi, and returned to the palace with her carriage and horse.

Demon Dao, Yueque.

The black-robed black shadow man stood respectfully outside the screen and said inside: "Princess, the minister has gone to investigate, and this time the one who went to humanity is now mixed up with a fairy who guides the way of heaven." Seemingly, what do you want to do with that fairy? ”

Hearing this, Crying Youji said coldly: "You follow her, guard outside the palace, and act carefully." Find an opportunity to turn the fairy against her and help us do things. ”

The black-robed man responded and left the moon.

As soon as Xun Qi saw Ning Huchen, he told her: "I tried my best to buy time for those envoys, and the deadline was after the day I went to General Naweiyuan's mansion to attend the birthday banquet. If you see him that day and know his intentions, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, you don't want to miss him again. ”

Ning Huchen smiled deeply: "Five days later, I hope you get your wish." ”

There are enough five days, enough for her to lay out.

Ning Huchen asked to see Jing Yu. He was originally dealing with the important affairs of the military aircraft, and as soon as he heard that she wanted to see him, he put everything aside for the time being and met her in the East Pavilion.

Ning Huchen had already ordered someone to make tea and waited for Jing Yu to come over. As soon as he saw him, he said: "The emperor has only finished lunch for a short time, and he has worked so hard. It's better to take a break first, drink a cup of tea, and relieve your greasyness. ”

She knows Jing Yu's preferences too well. As soon as Jing Yu saw the cup of tea with golden color and bright color on the small table, the gentle years of the past were vivid, and she knew that she actually did not prefer the top and precious tea: "Lao Junmei?"

Ning Huchen handed over the teacup: "This is what I like to drink in my daily life, it can't compare to those famous tea treasures, but it also has a different taste, the emperor can taste it?"

Jing Yu took it and looked at her with a complicated expression, it was hard not to think that it was really her back. He took a slow sip, his throat moving slightly, drinking the warm hours of the past.

"I heard that the emperor punished Si Tianjian and put him in prison?" Ning Huchen took Jing Yu's cup and put it back on the small table.

Jing Yu said: "He spoke wildly, not only cursing Wu Xianguo for having bad relations with our country, but also talking about the king of Xiang, which is really hateful. ”

He was a little unhappy in his heart, looked at Ning Huchen and said, "Are you trying to intercede for him?"

"No, I heard Si Tianjian's words, he said that if the county lord wants to make peace, he can only marry the emperor. I think that's a lot of that. "Ning Huchen won't worry about what will happen to Yuan Jia, the dignified Immortal Venerable, a human heaven prison looks at him and traps him, it's just nonsense.

"You know that I don't like her, and since you came, I don't like to have new people in the harem. ”

Ning Huchen bowed to him with a little solemnity: "I implore the emperor to put state affairs first." If I can't make friends with Wu Xianguo because I am so spoiled by me, I am really a sinner. Even if I have three thousand pets in one, I won't be happy. ”

Jing Yu sat quietly, his head hanging thoughtfully. After a while, he said, okay.

He got up and wanted to leave, and motioned to Ning Huchen not to kneel anymore. He took her hands, and his face was as gray as brocade: "Do you know why there has never been a queen in my harem, only a deputy queen?" ”

Ning Huchen said politely: "There is probably no one who is worthy of the emperor, and he can have a deep relationship with the emperor." ”

"It's not. Because I had promised the woman I loved, the queen would always belong to her. ”

With that, Jing Yu went back to his palace and continued to be busy with state affairs.

The tenderness on Ning Yuchen's face dissipated away, and he looked at Jing Yu's back coldly. It is said that uselessness is affection, but the king's affection caused her to be separated from her beloved Yin and Yang, and her family was ruined, so she couldn't afford it.

She turned her head and arranged for a few more reliable people to go to the post house where Xun Qi was located, and met with the envoys of Wuxian Kingdom.

Five days passed quickly, General Weiyuan was extraordinary, Jing Yu went to his mansion with a face, and naturally took Ning Huchen with him.

Zou Renze's second son and third son were greeting guests, and the eldest son, Zou Hesong, entertained guests in the mansion.

And Ning Huchen also fulfilled his promise to find a strange and took her to General Weiyuan's mansion. Accompanied by two envoys, Xun arrived belatedly. From the moment she entered the gate of the Zou family, she had expectations in her heart.

The house is full of lights, and the words of congratulatory birthday are also coming and going, so lively.

Zou Hesong kept a smile on his face and entertained them one by one. The smile on his face froze the moment he saw the woman in Tsing Yi.

Three feet away, through the crowd of people, the two met again.

Zou Hesong put down the matters in his hand, and didn't care about maintaining the modest demeanor of a noble son, so he squeezed over to find a strange side, and finally stood in front of her.

"Looking for a girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?"

Xun Qi shook his head: "I'm fine. ”

Zou Hesong's expression was restrained, but great joy was still expressed in his eyes: "Where is the girl? I have been looking for a long time, but there is no news. ”

The envoy beside Xun Qi coughed vigorously twice, stepped forward slightly, and saluted Zou Hesong with a fist: "Young General, this is the county lord of Wuxian Kingdom. Today is a gift from His Majesty, and the lord of the county has also come to visit the general. ”

"County Lord?" Zou He Song was extremely surprised and difficult to accept.

At this time, Zou Renze, followed by the guards, came to the hall with great momentum: "The arrival of all the guests really makes the humble house shine, please take a seat first." ”

Jing Yu took Ning Huchen with him, and he also arrived. Zou Renze and everyone knelt down, not daring to look directly. Zou and Song and Xun Qi also had to stop talking and retreat to the side.

Jing Yu came to him and said, "Zou Qing, get up, today is your birthday banquet, don't be too rigid about etiquette." ”

Zou Renze got the signal, got up, and asked Jing Yu to sit down on the main seat: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”

Jing Yu carried Ning Huchen and sat on the main seat. After receiving his signal, the birthday feast officially began. For a while, the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra remembered, and the bright and charming dancers entered one after another, presenting a rather joyful dance.

Jing Yu pushed a glass of wine in front of Ning Huchen, approached her, and said almost in her ear, "Today, you may have drunk?"

Ning Huchen was stunned when he heard this. When she first entered the palace, she used the woman's monthly incident as an excuse to avoid his closeness, and when she counted the time, this period should have passed. She decided to pretend she didn't understand what he meant: "I'm too strong to drink, and I don't drink no matter what the day." ”

Jing Yu just smiled at what was bound to happen.

Ning Huchen didn't look at him, and shifted his attention to the bottom, Xun Qi and Zou Hesong sat on both sides, looking at each other from a distance. And the two envoys behind her looked directly at Zou Hesong with a little hostility. They looked at each other again and nodded, reaching some kind of tacit understanding.

The dancers had just finished a song, and when they retreated, two envoys stood up, and one of them said in a loud voice: "The Central Plains dance is beautiful, but there is a lack of spirit and emotion in it." These beauties are like porcelain dolls, all the same. ”

"Oh, envoy Wu Xian, are you not only good at transporting salt and medicine, but also proficient in dancing?" Zou Renze heard this, and saw them openly provoking on such an occasion, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The implication is that they are small households, and they only know how to do some rough work, and they don't know anything elegant.

Another envoy smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, general, our Wuxian country lives between the mountains and rivers, and the songs and dances are soaked in the aura of nature. Among them, the posture of the county lord is the most moving, which can be described as a heavenly maiden. ”

Ning Huchen answered: "If the county lord is really so shocked, why don't you take advantage of a day like today to dance for the emperor and the general?"

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Looking for the county lord, you can let me and these courtiers open their eyes." ”

He said to Ning Huchen again: "I don't know how it compares to Ning Meiren." ”

Ning Huchen just hooked his lips: "The county lord is a heavenly maiden, and I am just a witch." ”

Xun Qi was a little surprised when he saw the two envoys acting like this, and when he heard Jing Yu say this, he knew that he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to say yes. She walked to the center without hurry, and cast a look at the place where Zou Hesong was, as if to say, this dance is made for you.

The envoy took off the bamboo flute at his waist and played a heavenly sound.

Strange stepped on the rhythm of the music and danced. As the envoy said, every move has a natural agility, which is completely different from the same gorgeous dance in the palace, and every time she looks back and smiles, she is shocked.

After a moment of silence, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause. Xun Qi bowed slightly to Jingyu and then stepped back, looking at the other side, still only caring about Zou Hesong's reaction.

"Yes, reward!" Jing Yu looked at it and appreciated it too.

The two envoys walked in front of Jing Yu and knelt down together. One of them took out a piece of white silk and held it high above his head: "Your Majesty, this is an edict written by the lord of the country himself." The lord of the country looks forward to being able to marry the Qin and Jin dynasties with the Jing Dynasty and enjoy peace forever. ”

The people around Jing Yu took the edict and presented it, Jing Yu read it, and said: "The good intentions of the lord of the country, I can't live up to it." I also want to live in peace with Wuham. In this case, I will be named the lord of the county and be a beauty. ”

"What!" Xun Qi and Zou and Song both spoke, and they both stood up, especially abrupt among the high-ranking officials and magnates who were seated.

Zou Renze threw a stern look at Zou Hesong and motioned for him to sit down. Zou Hesong realized the gaffe and sat down first.

Xun Qian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice." A few days ago, you were crowned a beauty because of the Roselle dance. After watching another dance today, he wants to make me a beauty. If you are listened to by someone with bad intentions, I am afraid that you will be obsessed with women. ”

Jing Yu's hand was on his knee, and his fingertips tapped lightly for a while: "The county lord is too worried." There are many beauties in the world, but none of them can be out of Ah Ning's right. I seal the beauty, it is love, and I seal you, but it is the intention of the lord of Wuxian. The county lord doesn't want to see the two countries fighting each other, right?"

Xun Qi frowned, and had no choice but to say yes. She raised her head slightly and stared at Ning Huchen, her eyes seemed to reprimand, but also seemed to hate, and she was puzzled.
