Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Deep Topic
Hall of Fragrances.
This is the palace that belongs to Mrs. Mingzhu, which displays precious spices and precious herbs from all over the world, and Mrs. Mingzhu is very good at preparing herbs, including incense that can treat insomnia and mental exhaustion, so it is deeply loved by Han Wang'an, and in the past, Han Wang'an was not less "treated" by Mrs. Mingzhu, and even became dependent.
After all, as the head of a country, the pressure on Han Wang'an can be imagined, and the courtiers in the court do not have much peace of mind, and after a long time, the body will naturally be unbearable, and he needs to rely on some foreign objects.
At the moment, in the dimly lit palace.
A bewitching woman was weighing the spices and medicinal materials needed with a rod scale made of pure gold, and her eyes looked at the scale intently, and her slender jade fingers moved the scales from time to time.
"Madam, the king has an invite."
A maid walked in slowly from outside the hall, her steps were light, and she didn't make the slightest sound, and when she came behind the woman, she bowed her head respectfully and said softly.
The woman's narrow eyes moved slightly, and she didn't look at the maid behind her, still fiddling with the scales, her thin lips opened lightly, and her voice was lazy and casual: "What's the matter?" β
"Zhao Jia, the eldest prince of Zhao State, has entered the palace, and he is on the side of Princess Honglian at the moment, the king's meaning, after the two of them meet, a banquet will be held in the evening, so the lady needs to be present in person."
The maid folded her hands on her lower abdomen, respectfully and well-behaved, and spoke concisely and to the point.
"Zhao Jia? Hongu had heard of his name...... Then we'll see. β
Mrs. Mingzhu put the weighed medicinal herbs on one side, her bewitching eyes rippled with a little curiosity, accompanied by a wisp of smile on her lips, and a soft voice sounded in the hall, and at the same time she slowly got up, her tall figure was extremely proud outlined by a purple-blue tunic dress, and the snow peaks towered.
The long black hair is like a waterfall, reaching to the waist, and there are several delicate hairpins inserted on it to bind the smooth long hair, and there is a long stride hanging from the tail, hanging two precious orbs, and gently shaking between getting up, revealing her beauty more and more.
This is a woman who is bewitched to the extreme.
If Flame Spirit Ji is a soft, charming and hot female goblin, then Lady Pearl is a succubus who eats away at her soul.
Just like the nickname of Mrs. Pearl.
Tide Banshee!
β¦β¦
Zhao Jia on the other side naturally didn't know that he was being targeted by Mrs. Mingzhu, and he was teasing an innocent girl at the moment.
Princess Honglian has been regarded as the pearl of her father since she was a child, because her mother is the princess of Wei and the queen of Korea, but unfortunately she died soon after giving birth to Honglian, so Han Wangan is extremely doting on Princess Honglian, which also leads to Honglian's naΓ―ve and romantic character, lack of awareness of the sinister world, like a blank piece of paper, and full of curiosity and yearning for everything in the world.
There is another girl in the world who is not pregnant, not full of longing for love, and fantasizes that her future boyfriend is a prince charming.
Zhao Jia's horse is not other for the time being, the appearance alone is enough to satisfy all the fantasies of the girl, if not, how can he easily get on Zhao Ji's bed.
At this moment, in the aisle, the sun shines through the leaves, and the light and shadow are spilled on a man and a woman.
Honglian was a little dizzy and was held by Zhao Jia, the warm palm seemed to have a kind of magic, which made her face hot, and she even forgot to resist for a while, she could only watch the other party gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and at the same time, the other party's face enlarged in front of her eyes.
His eyes are as deep as the sea, and he seems to have experienced many things.
The straight nose bridge and perfect lip shape give people a sense of finely crafted delicacy, especially the curvature of the lips, which is perfect, and it seems to be smiling all the time, which makes people feel comfortable.
It's like a spring breeze in late autumn, moistening people's hearts.
The red lotus, a girl who had never been out of the palace alone, was directly stunned, but the woman's reserve made her quickly come back to her senses, and she didn't continue to be a nymphomaniac, she took a step back suddenly, and her bright peach blossom eyes looked at Zhao Jia in a panic, and said lightly: "You... What are you doing! β
"Wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes, they don't have them now."
Zhao Jia smiled slightly and explained very calmly.
Seeing Zhao Jia so calm and composed, Honglian's flustered heart improved a lot, but her face was still panicked, and she asked angrily: "How can Childe be so rude." β
"Who made His Highness look so good-looking, people can't help but want to take care of it."
Zhao Jia chuckled lightly and said indifferently.
Honglian obviously didn't expect Zhao Jia to admit to taking advantage of herself so generously, so she couldn't help glaring at Zhao Jia, and threatened fiercely: "Don't be afraid that I will tell my father about this, be careful that he chops off your hand." β
Don't your father dare ...... Zhao Jia smiled in his heart, don't say that he didn't do anything, even if he really did something, Han Wangan didn't necessarily dare to do anything to him.
Behind him are the two behemoths of Qin and Zhao, South Korea is sandwiched between the two countries, wouldn't it be difficult for the two countries to face if it moves, how can it withstand it.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, as has been the case since ancient times.
"Then how can the princess keep this matter a secret?"
Zhao Jia pretended to groan, and after a while, he said with some embarrassment.
Honglian saw that Zhao Jia was "scared", her eyes instantly brightened a little, she thought about it, and said with a serious face: "You are not allowed to propose to my father again!" β
Although Zhao Jia gave her a good feeling, she obviously didn't want to marry yet, as for the future, let's talk about it later.
I have to say that the girl always thinks of everything very beautifully.
"I try."
Zhao Jia nodded, and continued with Red Lotus's words: "However, is Your Highness disgusted with me? β
Honglian heard that Zhao Jia agreed, her eyes instantly turned into a pair of crescent moons, and she said with a smile: "I was very disgusted, but now~ I think you're not bad!" β
"Then do you want to think about our marriage again?"
Zhao Jia teased.
Honglian glared at Zhao Jia, shook her head and refused: "Don't, I don't want to marry now." β
"Okay."
Zhao Jia nodded, there was nothing entangled, like this kind of girl, there is no point in blindly entanglement, hot and cold pulling is the king.
Although Honglian has no right to refuse this marriage, Zhao Jia doesn't want to force anything, Honglian is related to many people, and those people are his important "partners" in the future.
Honglian didn't expect Zhao Jia to be so cheerful as she agreed, and immediately frowned, inexplicably feeling that she was not attractive to Zhao Jia, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said sullenly: "Where do you want to play?" There aren't many interesting places in the palace, and there are some places you can't go. β
"Let's go to the cold palace to have a look, I want to see the old site of Zheng Guo."
Zhao Jia has not forgotten his business, in the original plot, there seems to be some secret hidden in the old site of Xinzheng, there is a secret about the seven houses of Canglong.
For Canglong Qisu, Zhao Jia is not small.
After all, it is rumored to be divine, especially the attitude of the Yin and Yang family towards it, which is quite interesting, it seems that whoever controls the Canglong Qisu can become the master of this world.
Tianze even regarded it as a hope for the restoration of the country.
Blood-clothed Hou Bai Yifei also intervened.
However, this time with Zhao Jia's joining, especially if he was accompanied by Da Si Ming, if he knew about these things in Korea, he was very curious about how the Yin and Yang family would react.
It doesn't matter, let's clean up the South Korean insiders.
The Onmyoji family seems to have been guarding this secret all along.
Honglian nodded, did not refuse, obediently took Zhao Jia towards the cold palace, Zhao Jia was not very enthusiastic about Honglian throughout the whole process, but she paid more attention to Zhao Jia, people are like this, the more enthusiastic you are about her, she feels bored.
Lust is indulgent...... Old-fashioned, but quite effective, especially for a simple girl.
Of course, the premise is that you have an aspect that can attract the other person, such as being handsome enough.
Zhao Jia naturally noticed Honglian's gaze, he looked at Honglian from time to time, and the flirtatious Honglian's footsteps were messed up, but fortunately, she soon discovered this, and immediately glared at Zhao Jia viciously, and said angrily: "Why do you keep peeking at me!" β
The wicked sue first...... Zhao Jia chuckled and asked, "Isn't the princess peeking at me?" β
"I didn't peek at you, I was just a little curious about you."
Honglian pursed her lips and said confidently.
"For example?"
Zhao Jia looked sideways at the red lotus and asked.
Honglian blinked her bright and intelligent big eyes, like a curious baby, and asked, "Aren't you the eldest prince of Zhao Kingdom?" Why did your father send you to Qin as a hostage? β
As far as she knew, Zhao Jia seemed to be the eldest son of the current King Zhao, how could such a person be sent to the enemy country as a hostage, she couldn't understand it at all.
"For the answer to this question, Your Highness might as well ask the Ninth Prince."
Zhao Jia groaned for a while, and said softly, he didn't want to talk about any deep topics with Honglian, the girl in front of him was well protected, and she didn't necessarily understand those topics rashly, not to mention, some things can only be understood by experiencing them personally, and how can people who don't experience them understand.
"Brother?"
Honglian's mind came to Han Fei's appearance of spending his days drinking all day, and he immediately shook his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "My brother doesn't understand this, he only drinks alcohol." β
"Did the princess ever wonder why he liked to drink?"
Zhao Jia asked softly.
Honglian blinked, looking at Zhao Jia with some confusion, could there be any other reason why Han Fei likes to drink?
Why do adults like to drink and smoke, because there are too many powerless things in this world, and drinking to relieve sorrow is also a means of decompression, and it is the cheapest means.
Zhao Jia quite understands Han Fei, as the son of the queen of Korea, he is qualified to inherit the throne of the king of Han, but unfortunately he is not here, in order to avoid power disputes, he hid in Confucianism to study, and went for more than ten years, until he could no longer hide, and then returned to South Korea.
has no intention of power, but was born in the emperor's family, Han Fei has no choice.
"Why?"
Honglian tilted her head to look at Zhao Jia and asked.
Zhao Jia frowned and hesitated for a moment, before he said conclusively under Honglian's curious gaze: "Because your brother is a big drunkard!" β
βοΌοΌβ
Honglian was startled, staring at Zhao Jia with wide eyes, obviously not expecting the other party to give such an answer, but after a while, she stared at Zhao Jia tightly and snorted softly: "You lied to me!" β
She is not stupid, Zhao Jia's tone before was obviously not like this.
Right now, this is a lie to her.
Zhao Jia smiled, didn't explain or refute, but his feet sped up a little, and in his perception, it was not far from the old site of King Zheng's palace.
"Wait for me!"
Red Lotus trotted over.
Soon the two came to the former site of King Zheng's Palace, which is now the cold palace of King Han's Palace.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast lake, sparkling in the sun, and the dilapidated palace can still vaguely see the prosperity of the past.
Hundreds of years ago, Zheng Guo was one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, but no matter how powerful a country was, it could not withstand the passage of time.
Walking in the dilapidated aisles, looking at the dilapidated ruins, Zhao Jia inexplicably hesitated, whether everything he was pursuing now was meaningful, even if there was really a chance to replace the Qin State in the future and establish a more powerful empire than the Qin State, but it may only be a few pages of history in the long river of time.
The 5,000-year history of China, from a slave society to a modern society, has never been achieved overnight.
According to historical records, there is no thousand-year-old dynasty in this world, and it can't even break through for three hundred years, even if there are many black technologies in the world of Qin Shi, it still can't change this cycle.
Unless Zhao Jia can really keep giving up, or control the secret of immortality......
"What do you want?"
At this moment, the red lotus on the side tugged at Zhao Jia's sleeve, and the crisp voice pulled Zhao Jia out of the contemplative atmosphere.
A pair of bright peach blossom eyes looked at Zhao Jia puzzled.
Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding, maybe he had read too many history books recently, causing him to feel that it was boring to dominate the world, but what does the future have to do with the present, do you know that you will not do anything in the end?
Life is short, and it is true to grasp every day.
Zhao Jia looked at Honglian's clear eyes, smiled, and said softly, "I thought of some deeper questions. β
"Deep question? Let's hear it. β
Honglian was a little curious, she thought that Zhao Jia was quite interesting, different from his brother.
"I'm wondering what I'm going to do if you don't marry me now."
Zhao Jia said with a melancholy face.
Honglian was taken aback, obviously she didn't expect Zhao Jia to say this, and suddenly stared at Zhao Jia with wide eyes: "What are you doing, you still want to fight my idea?" Tell you, no! β
"Can't you think about it?"
Zhao Jia said with a smile.
Honglian was anxious, stomped her feet and snorted softly: "I can't think about it!" β
"Your Highness is really domineering, it seems that I can only think about others."
Zhao Jia smiled slightly, his voice was still gentle, but what he said was quite annoying, and Honglian suddenly felt that the person in front of her had become so hateful.
