Chapter Ninety-Nine: His Royal Highness the King of Thailand
In the evening, the Empress Lixia set up a rich banquet to entertain the envoys of the Yunshang Kingdom, and at the same time prepared rich gifts to return to the Yunshang Emperor.
During the banquet, Ling Ruohui had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she didn't dare to look at King Qi opposite, what if she saw it, didn't she want to separate? Now her identity is the crown princess of Lixia Kingdom, and he has become her royal brother.
In the early morning of the next day, Yunsheng's convoy was about to return to Beijing, and Xia Liyan knew why he accompanied Ling Ruoyi to the suburbs early, "I know you want to send him, just send it here, I'll wait for you around here." After finishing speaking, Xia Liyan took Chen Fei and stood not far behind her and waited quietly.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you so troubled? You love the crown princess so much, why do you still let her come into contact with King Qi? ”
"This is a gentleman's dispute between me and him, I can't deprive Yi'er of the right to love him, maybe I shouldn't have intervened in the first place."
"But, Your Royal Highness the Prince, isn't this tantamount to pushing your beloved woman into the arms of other men?"
"Okay, don't say anything, this palace has its own decision."
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is King Qi who walks in the front, only to see him wearing a crescent moon robe, his tall and beautiful figure looks so lonely and lonely, and the man who is usually gentle and elegant, with a little haggard on his face.
"Lord Wang, you see it's my sister." Ling Yunfei pointed to Ling Ruoyi, who was standing not far away.
I saw Ling Ruoyi wearing a long skirt of dark blue brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms, and used a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist. The jet-black hair is curled into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted, although it is simple, it looks fresh and elegant.
King Qi immediately turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and held Ling Ruoyi's hand tightly, "I didn't expect you to come to see me off, he was actually willing to let you come." ”
"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that since it is a dispute between gentlemen, I will not be deprived of the right to see you, and if I say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, I just hope that your heart is like my heart, and don't forget me."
"No, in this life and this life, I will not let go of the Yellow Spring."
"Well, I won't let go, it's a long road, I wish you a safe journey."
"Promise me, take care of yourself, I will wait for your wishing lamp every night, as long as I see our wishing lamp, I know you are okay."
"Definitely."
"Then I'm leaving." After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse again and waved his hand gently.
"My sister has to write letters to her family often." Ling Yunfei said on his horse.
"Yes, I will, take care of Daddy."
The group set foot on the road again, Ling Ruoxuan took the guqin in Mu'er's hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the qin flat, took a deep breath, and the jade fingers began to fluctuate on the guqin, very smooth. Accompanied by the guqin, the tactful and somewhat sad singing slowly flowed out......
Suddenly, he smiled lightly, and his red lips spit lightly, "Leaving the hometown, the footsteps are stained with dust, Tsing Yi Gu, leave a touch of Chuchu, the mountains and rivers are twilight, the eyes are blurred, but I have vaguely remembered the way I came, the old trees are withered, only the crows are left, the horse's hooves are lonely, the chase is not stopped, the thousands of mountains are crossed, and there is still no hesitation, the wanderer is bitter, who to complain to, where is the west wind road in the past, the end of the world, there can be a hometown sound to accompany the way back, the withered vines and old trees are faint and crows, the small bridge and flowing water, the ancient road is west wind and thin horses, the sunset is setting, the broken intestines are at the end of the world, the road away from the hometown, the footsteps are stained with dust, Tsing Yi Gu, leave a touch of Chuchu, the wanderer is bitter, who to complain to, where the west wind road used to be the end of the world can be accompanied by the hometown sound on the way back. ”
After the song, the person had already gone away, during which Xia Liyan just watched silently and did not disturb her. Perhaps, it was wrong in the first place, he was not her lover.
"Let's go back to the palace." Xia Liyan pulled Ling Ruoyi and said softly.
"Thank you." Ling Ruoyi said very sincerely.
"Between you and me, you don't have to be polite." immediately took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Ling Ruoyi's body. The two rode a horse together and walked slowly in the direction of the palace......
Lixia Kingdom Yuyang Palace.
Emperor Lixia and Empress Lixia were talking to a man in a white brocade robe, and when they saw Xia Lixian coming in, the man suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Big brother." ”
"Yi Jie, you're back, you won't even attend your eldest brother's wedding, you kid, you should fight." Xia Liyan lightly punched Xia Yijie on the shoulder.
"Brother Huang, it's not that I refuse to participate, it's because of the heavy rain that caused landslides and blocked the road, so it's too late to come back." Xia Yijie said with a smile.
"Well, let the eldest brother take a look."
Xia Yijie turned around in front of Xia Liyan and said with a smile: "I haven't changed much, but the eldest brother is more handsome and chic." ”
"You're still sweet-mouthed. Come. This is your sister-in-law, Ling Ruoxi. Xia Liyan said proudly.
"Little brother, Xia Yijie has seen the imperial sister-in-law."
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, Ruoyi is polite." Ling Ruohui said slightly to the King of Thailand.
"The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, I didn't come back in time to attend the wedding between the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law, and I hope the imperial sister-in-law will not blame, this gift should be to make amends for the imperial sister-in-law." After that, as a result, a brocade box in the hand of the entourage was respectfully handed to Ling Ruoyi.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Ling Ruoyi said with a smile.
"Leave the funeral, Ruoyi, Yi Jie is back today, the palace is going to set up a banquet to entertain him, this kid said that he would go out to play in March and come back, and he actually left for half a year, it seems that he is happy." The queen quipped.
"Queen Mother, maybe the third brother has some kind of affair, so he is reluctant to come back."
"Brother Huang, how can I have any sexual encounters, I heard on the way back to China that Yunshang and Lixia were married, and Mo Kite still has a love for King Anjun."
"Yes, Mo Kite got sick on the street, and it was Yun Fei who sent her to Ruoyi's hospital to be fine, and Mo Kite's heart leakage has also recovered."
"Oh, the imperial sister-in-law really lives up to her reputation, she is really a miracle doctor."
"His Royal Highness the King of Thailand has won the award, and it is also Mo Kite's strong willpower, and she has already been scared if she gives it to ordinary women."
"The imperial sister-in-law does not have to be modest, the imperial sister-in-law's medical skills are known to all four countries, and only the imperial sister-in-law, the world's first divine doctor, can cure Mo Kite's disease."
"Okay, don't compliment each other, Yi Jie, you just came back, hurry back to the palace to rest and rest, and let's have a good chat as a family in the evening." The queen said lovingly.
"Yes, father, mother, son, and son will retire first." Xia Yijie bowed and withdrew.
"Father, queen mother, how do you plan to arrange the family banquet in the evening?" Xia Liyan said lightly.
"I'll leave this matter to Ruoyi to do, anyway, she will do it in the future, it's better to be familiar with it now, so that she can share some of it for the palace."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Father, Emperor and Mother, we are tired of seeing off today, and Ruoyi will prepare for a dinner party after a while, so we will go back to the palace to rest first." Xia Liyan said lightly.
"Okay, you can also go back to the palace to rest." Emperor Lixia said with a smile.
Imperial.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I think the King of Thailand and you are very close, and they are also brothers, why is King Ning-for-tat?"
"Ruoyi, you don't know. The third brother's mother concubine is the Rou concubine of Yuehua Palace, the Rou mother concubine had a difficult birth that year, and the third brother was left with one breath, and she died. Therefore, he was adopted by his mother since he was a child, and his mother regarded him as her own, I was still a little jealous when I was a child, when Mo Kite was three years old, Xigong Niangniang also passed away, Mo Kite was also adopted by his mother, and the three of us grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is much better than other brothers and sisters. ”
"Oh, I see, the King of Thailand is also a poor man."
"I can't imagine that Yi'er is also a sentimental person, did you think of you and Yunfei, if you were not bullied by your aunt when you were young, maybe you would be happier."
"Well, however, everything is over, and now Yunfei is also married, and he is the king of Anjun, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor, so I can look at my mother in the sky."
"Yes, and now I like you to be happy, and I want to give you happiness even more."
"Prince, I ......"
"Can you tell me to leave? I know that you and King Qi are both called by name in private. ”
"Okay, I'll leave you later."
"Let's go back to the palace first, and think about how to catch the wind for the third brother at night."
"Okay."
Chen Fei, Mu'er and others, who had been following behind, saw all this and had their own thoughts, for Chen Fei, he was very happy to see that the crown prince and the crown princess could love Baitou. And the three of Mu'er wished that Xia Liyan would do something to anger her young lady, so maybe the young lady could return to China. In other people's countries, no matter how high the status is, it is not as good as living happily in your own country, with your relatives by your side.
Heavenly Palace.
After asking the palace people and Xia Liyan about their preferences, Ling Ruoyi began to carefully draw up the recipe for the dinner. What wine stuffed steamed duck, drunken duck liver, roast venison, Longjing shrimp, Buddha jumping over the wall, Kung Pao hare, in short, according to everyone's preferences have been prepared, try to make everyone satisfied.
At dinner time, the people in the entire palace gathered in the main hall of Yuyang Palace, and sat down according to their status in the palace.
Ling Ruohui naturally sat with Xia Liyan in the closest place to the emperor, facing Concubine Yun and King Ning, and then Concubine Yu with her daughters Ice Princess and Princess Bingying. The rest are some low-grade concubines.
Sitting next to Xia Liyan is the king of Thailand Xia Yijie, and below are some adults and princesses who have become adults and have titles, which can really be described as a family gathering.
watched the palace people enter the main hall like long snakes, put the meals that the owner of the table likes to eat neatly, and then retreat in an orderly manner. Concubine Yun originally wanted to humiliate Ling Ruoyi by taking advantage of the poor preparation of dinner, but she didn't expect that people not only put their favorite meals in front of her, but also had a few dishes necessary for the palace banquet. It seems that this crown princess is not an easy character to deal with.
Ling Ruoyi's beautiful eyes looked at the emperor and queen who sat on the throne, and it happened that the queen was also looking at her, and the queen gave her a knowing smile, that is, to tell Ling Ruohui again, you have done a very good job, and the palace is very satisfied.
"Father, mother, why is there only food to eat, and there is no singing and dancing to enjoy when the third brother comes back today?" The Ice Princess said coquettishly.
"Bingxue, today's family banquet was arranged by your princess and sister-in-law, how can you ask the emperor and the queen, if you want to ask, you should also ask your princess and sister-in-law." Concubine Yun finally seized the opportunity, how could she let it go so easily. In a few words, the spearhead was pointed at Ling Ruoyi.
Bing Xue said with a domineering look: "Princess, princess and sister-in-law, why don't you enjoy singing and dancing?" ”
"It turns out that Sister Bing Xue likes to enjoy singing and dancing during the banquet? Originally, the singing and dancing were arranged after the dinner, and the palace believed that today was for His Royal Highness the King of Thailand to catch the wind, and the family would eat, and there was no singing and dancing to chat about family life and enhance feelings. So the singing and dancing were arranged to be enjoyed after the dinner, and I asked my sister to be patient and wait. Ling Ruoyi was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Yes, Bing Xue, you just wait, but this palace tells you that no one in this palace can compare to your crown princess and sister-in-law, she is a talented woman in Yunshang Country."
"I've heard about it, but Princess Ben doesn't believe she's that good."
"Sister, I heard that a few days ago, Concubine Yun and the imperial sister-in-law lost very badly in the piano competition, but the imperial sister-in-law was magnanimous and didn't let Concubine Yun kowtow."
"Oh? According to what my sister said, this princess is even more interested, how about the royal sister-in-law, dare to compete with this princess? ”
Just as everyone was waiting for Ling Ruoyi to answer, a warm male voice sounded......
