Chapter 26: Sauvignon Blanc

In front of the tortoiseshell phoenix wearing a peony ebony gold screen, a pair of men and women in gorgeous clothes sat awkwardly.

For this official meeting, Princess Chen Guo spent two hours dressing up, under the costume, the clouds are a shalf, the jade is a shuttle, the hills overlap and the gold is extinguished, the eyebrows are light and the cheeks are fragrant and the cheeks are better than the snow, and a little Danzhu peony is dewed. However, even with such a courteous dress, he still bowed his head timidly when he saw him.

Unlike the princess's elaborate decoration, the prince seemed a little careless about the meeting, and his long crow-colored hair was casually tied in a bun, with only a green hosta fixed hairpin. Because he was absent-minded when he pulled the bun, there was a little hair loosening around his neck. The smiling face is still the same as before, like a jade like a bright moon, only the corners of the eyes are slightly red, revealing haggard fatigue. At the beginning of his recovery, his body was still very thin, and the wide sleeved robe had the illusion of being weak when he wore it, and the moonlit clothes did not smoke new incense, and the faint smell of plum tide was mixed with the slightly old gardenia aroma, which volatilized silently.

The almost perfect side face, calm, but condensed with heart-wrenching sorrow.

When his eyes met, he avoided her gaze.

He really didn't want to see me at all, Tuoba thought bitterly.

I hurt him, I ...... It's a bad woman who hurts the people I love the most.

Since she revealed her identity, she has not seen her for two days, but she has been suffering from gains and losses day and night, and she can't wait to die once.

However, the princess of the town who was sitting at the top did not notice the ambiguity and bluntness flowing between the two young people, and after she looked at Li Yeyin carefully, she shook the palace fan and said: "I have heard that the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty is both talented and beautiful, and I don't want to be the same thing." After seeing it today, I realized that the rumors were not as perfect as one ten-thousandth of a real person. There really are such beautiful men in the world. If I could be twenty years younger, even if it was only ten, I would have the cheekiness to beg the imperial brother to let me marry the prince. ”

The eldest princess married Xiao at the age of fifteen, was widowed at the age of twenty-nine, and married Murong Feng, the general of the Zhenguo, seven years ago, as the continuation of the string, and was promoted to the eldest princess of the Zhenguo, and was a married woman. It's just that the Xianbei folk customs are open, and if a woman has a man she likes, she will also boldly court. Therefore, although the words of the eldest princess made Tuoba Jing, who racked her brains to play the role of a lady trying to please Li Yeyin, suddenly lose face, she herself did not feel that there was anything wrong.

When Li Yeyin heard this, he also smiled lightly and said: "It's a pity that Yeyin was not born twenty years ago, and Yeyin was still a childish ten years ago." In the end, I missed this good fate. ”

The eldest princess Wan'er: "Today, there is another good fate in front of me. ”

Li Yeyin raised her head and looked at Tuoba Jing, as if she was smiling.

......

As we all know, Li Yeyin's grandfather, King Linchuan, was born to Emperor Gao's favorite concubine Wu in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In order to establish Wu Guifei as the queen, Emperor Gao killed three sons in one day. However, Wu Guifei became the empress only three months after she became the queen, and she died violently due to a sudden illness in her dreams! Emperor Gao beloved the son of Empress Wu and wanted to make Zhi'er the crown prince. The courtiers argued with reason, and finally persuaded Emperor Gao to be named the king of Linchuan on the grounds that "the six princes are young, and His Majesty rashly became the crown prince, and he is afraid of early death", and the treatment is far better than that of the kings.

Xu is a prophecy, this love soon became a sword hanging over the head of the king of Linchuan.

Soon after, Emperor Gao died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, overturned the case for the three brothers, and became a concubine after the abolition of martial arts! Although the king of Linchuan was not denounced, he also became a marginal figure of the imperial family from then on. When Li Yeyin was born, he was brought into the palace by the royal family in the name of pity for the loss of his mother, and was raised by the queen herself, called Sheng Pet, but in fact, he was under house arrest. Li Yeyin, a peerless genius, saw the cunning behind the appearance of Hemei at a young age, and was inseparable from the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

This is also one of the most important reasons why Emperor Qi agreed to his daughter's invitation to marry.

Tuoba Hongfen III finally completed the great cause of unifying the world, and he hoped to use this marriage to appease the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty and pacify the internal affairs, so as to continue his ambition to open up an unprecedented territory!

The princess of Zhenguo, who knew her brother's ambitions, the first moment she saw Li Yeyin, she as a woman and as a politician were attracted by this almost perfect young man. However, when she found out that Tuoba Jing looked at him with such infatuation, she sank into deep distress.

- Jing'er's love for Li Yeyin is a stone in the stream, clear and clear, but Li Yeyin's eyes only make her think of the starry sky, flawless and bright, completely covering her true heart.

......

"Princess Linchuan, who can give birth to such a wonderful character as the son of the world, must be a peerless ......"

"I have never seen my biological mother, and my father's study has pictures of beauties from all ages, but there are no portraits of my biological mother. ”

Even if the object of the conversation is his biological mother, Li Yeyin is just as calm, he has never met her, and he is not willing to assume the "love" between them.

What's more, they were originally united purely for the sake of profit.

"That's a shame. ”

Seeing that Li Yeyin's face was sick, the princess of the town country smirked to hide her embarrassment, sat up straight, grabbed Tuoba Jing, and quipped: "Jing'er, you have always been cheerful and lively, why did you squirm in front of your future husband? Could it be-"

β€œ...... I ......"

Tuoba Jing bit her lip and whimpered in pain. She didn't even dare to look up at him, because she knew that even the woman who had deceived him about this hurt would always have eyes full of tenderness, heartbreak tenderness.

Your heart is broken, and my heart dies with it.

Bei Yan bit his lip lightly, and blood slowly overflowed.

Suddenly, the corner of his eye glanced at Li Yeyin's fingers and suddenly moved, Tuoba Jing couldn't help but move in his heart, and was about to take the initiative to talk, when a maid stepped forward and said, "The bird's nest is stewed, please taste the eldest princess and the princess." ”

The princess of the town country glanced at the jade plate, and next to the gold-inlaid jade tea cup was a budding gardenia.

"Thank you. She said indifferently, twisted the pure white gardenia, and said, "There are already gardenias at this time?"

"Gardenias can bloom in March, but the gardenias that bloom early, with less accumulation, the aroma will inevitably be lighter. ”

Li Yeyin said softly, stretched out his hand, twisted the gardenia, sniffed lightly, the pure white petals slid across his lips, and sighed.

"It's early. ”

"It's the slave's fault...... When the maid saw that the gardenia in the garden had opened, she remembered that the prince liked gardenias, so she made her own opinionβ€”β€”"

The slave and maid explained nervously, Li Yeyin changed the conversation again, and said with a smile: "But it's just right." ”

Because of his smile, the gloomy sky suddenly brightened, the slave and maid looked at Li Yeyin with bright eyes, and Tuoba Jing only felt that the sweetness in her heart was about to overflow, and said to the female official on the side: "The maid is smart, reward!"

"Yes. ”

The female officer was ordered to take out the gold bead as a reward, and after the slave and maid were rewarded and thanked, she peeked at Li Yeyin several times, and then reluctantly followed the female official and retreated.

In the air, there is a touch of cold fragrance and a little ambiguity.

"Ahem!"

The eldest princess of the town deliberately coughed loudly, but Tuoba Jing's heart was hanging on Li Yeyin's body, listening to the eldest princess's cough, she also picked up the blood bird's nest in ignorance, and said, "Auntie is thirsty?"

"The liver is on fire. The princess of the town said angrily, took the blood bird's nest, but put it aside, and said coquettishly: "You have indeed changed." Sure enough, the daughter is about to get married. ”

"Auntie!"

Tuoba Jing smiled shyly, picked up the golden jade cup, put it to his mouth, and said affectionately: "I...... It wasn't until I met Yeyin that I realized how willful I was before. I...... Nightshade, would you like me?"

His lips had already touched the edge of the bowl, and he was about to drink it, Li Yeyin, who was looking down at the gardenia, suddenly raised his head and said, "You are you, you don't need to change for anyone." What I like is the real you, not a fake face to cater to my preferences. ”

"Really?" Tuoba Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and put down the bird's nest.

Seeing this, the princess of the town raised her dress and retreated, leaving space for the little lovers.

There were no elders present, and Tuoba Jing was less shy, she burst into tears and laughed, and threw herself into Li Yeyin's arms: "It turns out that Yeyin's heart has left a place for me." ”

"My heart has always had a place for Jing'er. I just can't accept your deception...... I finally made up my mind to accept my fate and marry Princess Chen Guo for the sake of the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty. But you ...... Jing'er's appearance shook my determination...... I burned all my courage to force myself to accept this loveless marriage, and I thought I could just ...... I was even ready to bear Nantang's insults for Jing'er, but you ...... The moment I learned the truth, I was very painful and even felt very mocking...... That's why I did that to you...... I was just...... Felt ......"

β€œ...... I'm sorry, I ...... I'm the one who is at fault...... I ......"

Tuoba Jing said with tears in her eyes, knowing that she was angry because she was angry that she didn't tell the truth earlier. Suddenly, he felt more and more remorseful and weeping. In order to cover up her gaffe, she picked up the golden jade cup and said, "The bird's nest hasn't been drunk yet, and if it's cold, it won't taste good." ”

This time, however, before his lips even touched the rim of the cup, there was a dark incense surging, and the gardenia fell into the soup.

"The bird's nest is dirty. ”

Li Yeyin said calmly, Tuoba Jing glanced at the petals with light gray markings in the bird's nest soup, and infinite emotion welled up in her heart, she put down the blood bird's nest, grabbed his hand, and said affectionately: "Actually...... I knew from the beginning that the bird's nest was poisonous, and I also knew that the maid in the Dao was called Shangguan Lingyun, who was once a singer in the Southern Tang Palace. But I am still willing to drink this cup of bird's nest, because this bowl of bird's nest is what you want her to bring to me, and if you want me to die, I will die. ”

"You...... What a stupid I ...... Never thought of wanting you to die...... Even if it's for the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I ...... Not going to do that!"

Li Yeyin sighed and hugged her, the slightly cold gardenia incense infected her skin, as if she was caressed.

"Zhilu Dao, the person I want to thank the most at this moment is actually Shangguan Lingyun, Xie Lu thanks her, let me know that you really love me!"

Tuoba said dreamily, she raised her head and instructed the female official who was waiting beside her: "You immediately find Shangguan Lingyun and send her out of the palace safely." No one should be told that she was trying to poison me!"

"But ......"

The female officer wanted to speak and stopped.

At the gate of the palace, the princess of the town country smiled skillfully, she slowly entered the palace, and said, "No need, Shangguan Lingyun has committed suicide in fear of crime...... Li Yeyin, after this incident, the imperial brother and I can finally rest assured that Jing'er will be handed over to you. ”

Smiling, the eldest princess put the blood-stained pearl into his palm.

Li Yeyin glanced at the hairpin and sighed lightly: "What's the trouble with this...... Even if the pearl is stained with blood, it is still just as dazzling. ”
