Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Empress of Chu
Shigang Town.
Leaving this town, there are two hundred miles to Kyoto in the Chu Kingdom.
Since he met the little princess halfway through, Duan Chen took the place of the middle-aged man surnamed Ge and acted as the groom of the three little princesses. And along the way, the little princess evoked Duan Chen as much as possible.
In this regard, Duan Chen's only choice was to be silent.
No matter what the final outcome will be between himself and the little princess, the purpose of going to Kyoto in Chu State this time is to meet his brother Duan Feng. With this, Duan Chen didn't bother to worry about the little princess, so he could do whatever she wanted.
At dusk.
The Kyoto of the Chu State is finally in view.
This behemoth is far less thick and tall than the walls of the Izumo Imperial Castle, but the moat that surrounds the city is more than ten zhang wide. There are four suspension bridges in the east, west, north and south, and there are no ships moored on the water.
South of the city.
A mansion away from the downtown area but close to the Royal Palace.
'It's been almost five years in the blink of an eye......
Standing quietly in the courtyard, looking at the west, the young man looked a little melancholy, a little lost... But his expression is resolute and heroic.
The pair of knife eyebrows were almost the same as Duan Chen's, except that the eyes were a little bigger and the skin was much whiter. The whole temperament is domineering in silence, and it has the atmosphere of a superior.
The three princes of Izumo.
Duan Feng.
In the mouth of the little princess, although Duan Feng is called her brother-in-law, she and the third princess have not yet held a wedding. However, the matter of marrying the third princess seems to have no variables for Duan Feng.
Be the concubine of the Chu State...... This is Duan Feng's extreme reluctance, but he has no better way, or choice.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that the third princess fell in love with him deeply, he wouldn't have been able to do it.
met the third princess and asked for a prescription for Duan Chen, and the queen of Chu Ge Jinglian was very domineering and gave Duan Feng a choice. To heal Duan Chen, he Duan Feng must be the concubine of the Chu State.
This condition doesn't seem to be harsh, but this is not the life that Duan Feng wants, and there is a certain unwillingness in his heart. However, Duan Feng, who had left Izumo to find a lot of prescriptions, was already exhausted and even a little disheartened.
If he can heal his younger brother Duan Chen, this colt will be recognized. Unexpectedly, after this prescription was sent back, Duan Chen was really 'cured'.
Pity Duan Feng at this time, he still doesn't know that Duan Chen is pretending to be stupid. And before the wedding with the third princess, the queen of Chu State, Ge Jing, did not allow Duan Feng to return to Izumo. As for this news, since Duan Feng asked not to spread it before the wedding.
Right now, there is still half a year before Duan Feng and the third princess of Chu State hold a wedding.
'It's been so long, why hasn't there been any news from my brother......
Being in the Chu State, Duan Feng couldn't get the news of Duan Chen at the first time. In the depths of Duan Feng's heart, he was even more worried, worried about the existence of the crown prince and Miao Yixiong.......
.........
After entering the city, the two princesses and Yelu Zangji and the others went to meet the queen Ge Jingbin.
"Duan Gongzi, why don't you wait for me to meet the queen and then make plans?" Seeing that the two princesses did not say anything, Yelu Zangji took it upon himself to ask Duan Chen.
"This ......" Duan Chen is in the mood to see any queen now, but it is really difficult to say this refusal.
"Hmph!~~~" snorted softly at Duan Chen, and the little princess said without scruples: "The queen mother doesn't want to see this idiot!"
"Hugh is rude!" scolded the little princess, the third princess's face was very serious, and she smiled embarrassedly, looked at Duan Chen, and said, "Sister, she is still young and doesn't know how to be polite, so please don't care about the eighth prince." "The tone and attitude are very comfortable.
didn't wait for Duan Chen to respond.
"Sister, you ..." stomped her foot, and the little princess turned around and left.
The middle-aged man surnamed Ge shook his head, but had to follow.
"Sister, she is completely spoiled by the queen mother!" Looking at the back of the little princess, the third princess seemed to be talking to herself, more like she was explaining to everyone.
In Duan Chen's opinion, the so-called little princess is just a real little girl for a day. The more the little princess had this attitude towards him, the more relaxed he felt.
At the invitation of the third princess, Duan Chen had to go with the others to meet the queen of Chu. After all, he didn't know where Duan Feng lived, and there were some things that he couldn't help him.
Fortunately, the third princess saw through Duan Chen's mind and sent someone to invite Duan Feng in advance, which made Duan Chen's eager mood feel more steady, and added a touch of goodwill to the third princess.
The Imperial Palace of the State of Chu.
The seven samurai were invited to other places, and the queen Ge Jingbin acted relatively low-key and did not alarm anyone.
Under the leadership of a middle-aged man surnamed Ge, he actually came to a relatively quiet hall.
When I entered the hall, I saw a middle-aged woman at a glance.
A lock of beautiful black hair fluttered down like a waterfall, curved willow eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes that hooked the soul, a straight nose, pink cheeks slightly red, dripping cherry-like cherry lips, a flower-like melon seed face crystal like jade, tender snow skin like ice and snow, a beautiful figure, charming and affectionate, happy and hateful.
Where is this middle-aged woman who is a mother, even if she is a sister to the third princess. I have to say that this queen Ge Jinglian is really a stunning beauty.
There are no guards in the huge hall with only three or five palace maids, which shows the attitude of Queen Ge Jinglian towards Yelu Zangji and others.
"Jelu Zangji has seen ......"
Only then did Yelu Zangji speak up and prepare to salute.
"The third shopkeeper should not be so angry, it's too late to be grateful!" Ge Jinglian, who was smiling, hurriedly interrupted Yelu Zangji, who was about to give a salute.
"Queen Mother!~~" Without waiting for the palace maid to greet Duan Chen and the others to sit down, the little princess ran to Ge Jinglian with a shout.
Seeing Ge Jingbin's first impression, Duan Chen didn't feel that the other party was the queen of Chu at all, but had an inexplicable sense of closeness.
The little bird threw herself into Ge Jinglu's arms like a human, but the little princess whispered and didn't know what to say.
After a few words, Ge Jing's brows furrowed slightly, and at a certain moment, she seemed to glance at Duan Chen unintentionally, but she finally turned her daughter away and looked at Yelu Zangji.
"The caravan's losses in Qinglong Mountain will be compensated by the palace, if the three shopkeepers of Yelu have any requirements, they can come bluntly, and they don't have to be polite to the palace!"
Inviting Yelu Zangji to come to Kyoto in the Chu State, Ge Jingbin was just to show his gratitude. What surprised her and moved her was the existence of Duan Chen.
Regarding Duan Chen, he has long been regarded as a stupid and wasted person by Ge Jingbin. When the little princess reaches the age of sixteen, it is said that Izumo will withdraw from marriage. Unexpectedly, Duan Chen, who seemed to be a stupid and wasted person, actually appeared in Kyoto in the Chu State.
This sudden scene made Ge Jinghan unprepared at all, and secretly thought about it in his heart.
