Chapter 53: Chinese New Year's Eve
"This king disagrees!" Helian Jue hurriedly grabbed Si Nanyue's cold hand and interrupted her words.
He leaned his head, Si Nanyue couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only see his eyelashes fluttering, and after a while, he raised it, his eyes seemed to deliberately dodge Si Nanyue's gaze.
"You ...... Don't you women in Zelu City care about your name? You are already a man of this king, how can you commit yourself to others! ”
Si Nanyue's face was shocked, and after she was sure that she had heard correctly, she couldn't help but smile dumbly, "When did Your Highness start caring about the name of the slave?" ”
Helian Jue also felt that his excuse was too bizarre, he could casually find an excuse to imprison Si Nanyue to marry someone else, but he couldn't deceive himself.
Ever since his father married her to others at the ceremony today, at that moment, Helian Du only felt that the blood in his whole body was rushing into the top of his skull, he always knew that Si Nanyue hated him and resented him and wanted to escape from him, at that moment, he felt that she would definitely leave him!
It was also at that moment that he had even thought about secretly transferring the Wolf King Army on the frontier back to the royal capital, and replacing the position of the co-lord of the eight cities when necessary!
Results...... She refused......
Helian couldn't fool himself either, how happy he was when he heard her answer......
Helian Jue's hand on her wrist gradually tightened, her face was a little unnatural, her slightly flustered golden eyes looked at Si Nanyue fixedly, her thin lips opened tightly, and she said: "What this king said to my father today is not a joke, in a few days, this king will write again, and ask my father to marry you and me." ”
"Your Highness knows that this will add to your and mine's plans."
Si Nanyue pulled out her hand vigorously, she looked at Helian Du in confusion, "Doesn't Your Highness want to sit in that position that you think about day and night as soon as possible?" Follow my plan, I can get rid of a competitor for His Highness as soon as possible, this ...... Hmmm......"
Without warning, Helian suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her, choking the words she wanted to say into her throat.
His hands tightly imprisoned her waist and the back of her neck, making her unable to struggle, the tip of his tongue probed into her mouth and wrapped around it, and the breath of blood and rust on his body was like an impenetrable net, enveloping her layer by layer, as if to devour her completely.
I don't know how long it took, Helian Du finally stopped, he buried his head in Si Nanyue's neck socket, his breathing was a little messy, and he read in her ear in a low voice: "You are the woman of this king, no matter what, this king will never let you out, and after the New Year's Festival, this king will definitely marry you into the door." ”
Si Nanyue lowered her eyelashes, and glanced at Helian Duel suspiciously and apprehensively.
From the beginning to the present, she couldn't guess anything about him except that she knew he wanted that throne.
Just like now, he chose a path that was not good for him, even though he had a better choice, was it just because of his ridiculous possessiveness?
After thinking about it, Si Nanyue only had a ridiculous thought, and then she shook her head and dispelled this thought.
Although Helian is not very clever and far-sighted, he is not stupid, how could he be tempted by himself?
But it's not without a trace, if it is......
A sneer crossed Si Nanyue's lips, pressed this idea to the bottom of her heart, and waited for a suitable opportunity to try him.
A few days after returning from Miyagi have been quite stable, the New Year is approaching, the people in the house are busy before and after, and the red lanterns in each courtyard are hung up, and there is a taste of the New Year.
After practicing riding with Dari Achi every day, she took Dari Achi to go outside to buy some materials, and made lanterns by herself as she did in Zelu City in previous years.
The little girl is ingenious, and the finished products are more exquisite than those bought outside, she tied these small and delicate lanterns one by one under the eaves, causing Ah Huan to run to the small courtyard after practicing her homework, and was reprimanded by Helian for this.
Since then, Ah Huan only dared to sneak over to take a look when Helian was definitely not in the courtyard.
Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Helian decided to take the eldest lady and Ah Huan to attend the palace family banquet, Si Nanyue sat alone at the table, looking at the meal that was about to be cold, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
In previous years, when he was still in Zelu City, every Chinese New Year's Eve, the brothers would rush back from the frontier, and the family would gather together to celebrate the New Year.
My father and brother liked to drink Tusu wine at family banquets, and my mother, Ximing and sister-in-law would tie lanterns in the palace and play the piano for them.
Xing'er was not interested in doing such a meticulous job, so she trained Ah Chen outside, and the tired Ah Chen complained bitterly.
Now things are changing, the yellow springs are falling, the family is separated by yin and yang, and the only thing left is her and Xi Ming, thinking of this, the tears in the eyes are finally dripping.
Just when Si Nanyue was sobbing softly, there was the sound of the door opening behind her, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with the silk handkerchief in her hand, pulled a smile on her face, and pretended to reprimand: "You girl is full of learning archery with Dari Achi, and she came back so late Chinese New Year's Eve night, and the meals are ......."
Before she finished speaking, the smile froze on her face when she turned her head, the person who came in was not Ximing, but the cold prince of Mobei!
Han Cang closed the door with his hand, separating the cold north wind from the outside of the house, with a cynical smile on his slightly drunk face, he raised his eyebrows at her and said, "Don't come to harm, Lord Zelu." ”
Si Nanyue has been looking for an opportunity to talk to King Hancang, but she didn't expect that he would be so bold as to dare to break into the Xiao King's Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Perhaps seeing that she was a little worried, Han Cang walked to the table calmly, unceremoniously poured himself a glass of warm wine, and said after drinking it all: "City Lord, don't worry, no one found out that I came to Xiaowang's Mansion." ”
"The prince is a master and bold, I am not worried about whether the prince has been caught by someone, what I am worried about is ...... His Royal Highness King Xiao may be coming back soon. ”
Si Nanyue sat opposite him, watching him eat wine and food leisurely, there was not much time, she already had a certain number in her heart, and asked directly to the point: "On the day of the ceremony, thanks to the prince, I can take advantage of the situation to push off the marriage of the king of Chiyuan, the prince's kindness this time, Si Nanyue is unforgettable, and today I also ask the prince to make it clear, what kind of conditions does the king of Mobei need to be willing to borrow troops in Zelu City?" ”
Han Cang's bamboo chopsticks stopped in mid-air for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Zelu City has already surrendered, and Mobei is now also friendly with Chiyuan, how could the city lord ask such a thing out of thin air?" ”
"Then what is the reason why the prince came to see me this time?"
Si Nanyue didn't have the heart, let alone time to play Tai Chi with him, so she opened her mouth and said: "The city lord of Ganquan has borrowed troops from Mobei more than once, how could you, as the most trusted brother of the king of Mobei, not know about this matter, and if Mobei is really friendly with Chiyuan, how can the king of Chiyuan not know about such a big thing?" ”
"You know about it......"
Han Cang squinted his eyes and looked at Si Nanyue carefully, as if he wanted to see her through.
After a long time, the corners of his mouth curved into a good-looking arc: "Earlier, I heard the rumors of the city lord of Zelu, and I thought that this kind of evil animal should be punished by everyone, but my little brother said that you had to do it as a last resort, and the evidence is that Helian decided to let the people of Zelu go, and now it seems that he guessed correctly." ”
He put down the bamboo chopsticks, and also pressed the thought of wanting to get rid of Si Nanyue, since Si Nanyue is quick to talk, he is not a person who likes to break a sentence into two paragraphs.
He also said: "Chi Yuan's ambition is known to everyone, if he is allowed to dominate the family, Mobei will be targeted by him sooner or later, my little brother...... Yes...... No...... Although my monarch has the intention to send troops, but all the spirit deer of Zelu Ganquan have surrendered, if we agree to take the risk, will the city lord show some sincerity? ”
"Sincerity ......"
Si Nanyue muttered, and after thinking for a moment, she leaked a meaningful smile, "Now I have difficulty moving, but within ten days, I will hand over an answer sheet that satisfies the prince, and please wait and see." ”
"Oh?"
Han Cang clasped his arms with both hands, and looked at Si Nanyue with interest, this woman looked weak, sickly, and the pear blossoms that were crying when he entered the door brought rain, until now the tails of her eyes and nose were still slightly crimson, he wanted to see what waves such a delicate little girl could make in just ten days.
"Looks like I'm going to need to stay here a few more days." Han Cang habitually raised his sword eyebrows.
Suddenly, his expression changed, he looked in the direction of the wooden door vigilantly, got up and quietly retreated to the back window, and said in a regretful tone: "The food in the city lord's house tastes amazing, but it's a pity that someone is disturbing me tonight, so I will leave first, and we will see you in ten days." ”
After confirming that there was no one outside, Han Cang jumped lightly to the branches, and climbed out of the high wall with the help of the dead branches the thickness of hairpins, and his dexterous posture was like that of a cat that was agile and light.
Si Nanyue walked to the window, she looked at the direction where Han Cang left, and breathed a sigh of relief, it is undeniable that she is extremely happy at this time.
Previously, Aunt Yulin's borrowing of troops was rejected by the king of Mobei again and again, and now they are willing to cooperate, it is really an unexpected joy, as long as there is an army of Mobei, they will take a big step towards the goal, she must seize this hard-won opportunity!
She was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't even hear Xi Ming come in, and the little girl saw that she was standing in front of the window without even wearing a big coat, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand and closed the window tightly.
In the middle, I didn't forget to nag: "What are you doing with the windows open in the middle of the night?" Your health has been worse since the winter of this year, coughing all day, just better in the past two days, you just stand here blowing the cold wind, what should you do if you get sick again?! ”
"I know, I know......" Si Nanyue rubbed her cold hands and smiled helplessly: "You, you are still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, how can you talk about people like a housekeeper, right...... After the dumplings we wrapped today are cooked, remember to send some to Dari Achi, and thank him for taking care of us these days. ”
"I know, I know, I can't be hungry for him, but you, Miss, have never taken care of yourself, if I don't care about you anymore, won't you be even sicker."
"The lesson of Lord Ximing is that I will never dare to ...... again"
Si Nanyue responded casually, turned around and walked towards the table with a smile on her face, but saw a big bowl of shou noodles on the table, and the smile froze on her face for a moment, and she only then remembered that the last day of the year was also her and Xing'er's birthday.
