CHAPTER XXIII
The wind blew across my cheeks like a knife
But I don't feel any pain
I ran as hard as I could, not daring to stop for a moment
I'm afraid tears will fall
I'm afraid he's going to come to me, and I'm afraid he's not going to come to me
I'm more afraid I'll go to him
Finally getting to my palace, I slowed down and walked in
"Your Majesty, why did you run so quickly, did you freeze? Come and bake it."
I smiled and nodded, my nose a little sour
Aunt Lan pulled me and wanted to give me some heat
"Your Majesty, this is afraid that we will be in a hurry, so we can run so fast," Mu Xiange sat at the table
"yes," I said, holding back tears, "I'm hungry"
I avoided Aunt Lan and secretly wiped my tears and went over to sit
"Aunt Lan is coming."
Aunt Lan came over and poured us wine
I gave Aunt Lan a dish "This is delicious"
I changed my chopsticks and picked up the food for myself
Mu Xiange took my bowl, and I want to take it back
"How skinny you are, you should eat more meat," he stopped as he sandwiched half a bowl of meat for me
"Thank you," I took it
"Eat more yourself, don't just care about Your Majesty," Aunt Lan called him with a smile
Aunt Lan is gentle with everyone, but why is she not good to Brother Yan?
After eating, Mu Xiange went back to rest
"Your Majesty," Aunt Lan called me suddenly
"What's wrong, Aunt Lan?" I sat down
"No matter how well the second prince treats His Majesty, no matter how good His Majesty's relationship with him is, Your Majesty must remember that he is a Qiguo person, and you can't fully trust him"
I know what Aunt Lan means
"I understand"
"Your Majesty understands," Aunt Lan looked at me and said, "The mission will arrive in a few days, so let the two princes live in the inn together."
"That's what I think," I laughed, "and I know that."
"Your Majesty has really grown up, and you don't need me to worry about it, okay, Your Majesty, go and rest"
I nodded
The missions arrived one after another, and it took more than ten days, and there were five days before the New Year
We had been preparing for a month or two, but they couldn't stand the cold weather and wanted to go back
After they all arrived, they held a reception banquet
"Your Majesty, our second prince is causing you trouble" Master Chang of Qiguo seems to be Mu Xiange's teacher, no wonder he wants to follow
"Lord Chang is polite, and the second prince has not caused any trouble"
I took a sip of wine
"Her Majesty the Empress is really as beautiful as the rumored fairy, but I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is not in good health, and Your Majesty of our country specially asked me to ask Her Majesty if she is still healthy?" He was smiling happily
"But my body is a little weaker, and I have almost recuperated over the years."
It's okay when the time comes, but if they see any clues, I'm afraid it will be chaotic by then
"So that I will be able to make a deal with our majesty," he toasted me, and I drank
"Father still cares about this?" Mu Xiange came out with such a sentence coldly, in fact, I know what he meant, her mother was sick for a while, and his father never asked, he has always disliked his father
Master Chang saluted me awkwardly, and I just smiled and nodded
I don't dare to ask about them
However, Chang is busy, and when he talks around, he can't see what they want to do, so it's really a coincidence
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a gift myself, but do you want to see it?" Mu Xiange looked at me
"Even if it was prepared by the second prince, it is naturally a good thing, of course it depends on it" I was curious
"Pick it up"
He had them brought up and wrapped in cloth
"Your Majesty absolutely likes this thing"
Mu Xian Ge will be pulled away, I was stunned, and everyone present was shocked
Xiang'er came over to help me up, I went down slowly, my outstretched hand was a little trembling, I stroked it
"Does Her Majesty like it?" He asked me with a smile
"I like it, I really like it," I smiled, but my eyes sparkled
"I have been looking for the portrait of the Empress for a long time, and I have found the best master to do it for many months, and some things are not made finely, unlike places, Her Majesty the Empress has to bear more, this is the best new gift I can think of for you"
"It's really good," I said, looking at him and saying "it's the best gift I've ever received."
"Xiang'er, put it away" I'm busy asking Xiang'er to keep it
"What does the second prince want?" I looked at him and said, "The second prince gave me such a valuable gift, but I don't know what to give you."
"Her Majesty doesn't need to give me anything, but I want Her Majesty to make a promise"
This is much harder to achieve
"The second prince might as well talk about it first?" I walked towards the location
"I think if," I sat down
"If I want to see Her Majesty, how about Her Majesty let me see her?"
He was serious
"Are you sure?" It's not hard to do, but it's so simple that I don't believe it
"Of course," he said with a smile, "I don't have anything I want, and I don't want to embarrass Her Majesty, and I think that's fine."
In this way, no matter what, I owe him a favor
"Okay, only I am in the same place as the second prince, if you want to see me, I will definitely meet"
I just don't want him to do anything with this
"But please also ask the second prince to say in front of everyone, don't use this matter to do things that are unfavorable to our two countries" I looked at him, "I'm 80 It's not that I don't believe in the second prince, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and this is also about the relationship between the two countries, and I just take precautions"
"I understand what Her Majesty the Empress means, so naturally I want it," he paused and said, "I, Mu Xiange, promise in front of you that I will never use this matter to do anything that damages the relationship between the two countries."
"Thank you for your understanding, the second prince" This is indeed a little difficult for him
"Even if it's all clear, the second prince doesn't have to stand anywhere anymore, there will be a performance later" The general came out to relieve the siege
"Is there any show that the general will come too?" Mu Xiange returned to his position
"The second prince laughed"
The general doesn't seem to be happy today, where is he drinking alone
They specially prepared a neon dress and feather dance, which took a lot of their efforts, but fortunately, they also praised them again and again, and lived up to themselves
"The performance just now is very wonderful," Chang applauded, he smiled and said, "The women of the Snow Country are as beautiful and moving as Her Majesty the Empress," he paused, looked at the general, and said, "Do you know how the sons of the Snow Country are?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
He wanted the general to perform
"Her Majesty didn't misunderstand, but I heard that the general is superb in the piano, and I want everyone here to have the honor to hear it."
This old fox, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for our generals to play the piano for them?
"Lord Chang laughed, only occasionally playing and playing, still afraid of sweeping everyone's interest, not to offer this ugly" The general toasted them
"What the general said, you can play with it, then we can listen to it casually, so what's the matter?"
This has to be forced
"Master Chang, in fact, I won't tell you that the general accidentally practiced archery a few days ago and injured his hand, and the general didn't want you to worry just now."
Nan Kuyue came out to speak for the general, and this scene was really unbearable
"This must be the female general of Nan Kuyue," Lord Chang looked at Nan Kuyue, and Nan Kuyue nodded
"But it's supposed to be called girl, that's what we call it," I reminded her, and the South Withering Moon was hard to say
"Nanqu girl" Chang Da once "Nanqu girl is really outstanding, but how can Nanqu girl know the general's thoughts all the time, the general is injured by this little injury, I'm afraid it will be better a long time ago"
Master Chang is not going to let the general go
"Master Chang, I haven't been to our snow country for a long time, and the news is not well-informed, I have lived here for a few days, and I don't even know that the little girl and the general Huangfu are married."
Nan Deadwood said quietly, "The two of them have been in the same place for the past few days, do you think my little girl will not know?" ”
Nan Deadwood's words left Master Chang speechless
It's just that the two of them are really in one place
"Even so, it was my abruptness," Chang could only apologize to Nan Deadwood
"It doesn't matter"
"But I heard Lord Nan Ku say that the marriage between the general and the Nan Ku girl, I don't know if the marriage date can be scheduled."
The wedding date is about to be set
"Not yet, but the marriage of the little girl is set by His Majesty, and this wedding date is also set by His Majesty."
Nan Deadwood undoubtedly stabbed me in the heart again
"It was His Majesty's engagement before, and this wedding date is still ours by ourselves"
"It's okay, that is, Lord Nanku wants me to set a date for the two of you, so let me come" I thought for a while and said, "The seventh day of the seventh month is an excellent day, but I want you to wait a little longer."
I looked at them with a smile
"That is, Your Majesty said it, then it will be the seventh day of the seventh month," Nan Deadwood nodded in agreement
"I've been drinking a lot, but I'm a little sleepy now, so I'll go back first."
I'm afraid it's not good for them to find out anything if they stay any longer
