Chapter 47 Gongsun Ye
And the identity of this Gongsun Ye is also more subtle to say.
Today, led by Dayan, occupying the Central Plains, there are several other countries scattered on the side, and the stronger ones are the Zhou State in the east of Dayan and the Zheng State in the west.
Zheng Guo and Dayan are separated by a large area of mountains and rivers, and both sides are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they come and go, and each other's well water does not interfere with river water.
And the Zhou State is also a plain, and there is no barrier between Dayan, there is a vast grassland in the middle, the border friction between the two countries is continuous, a few years ago, the first emperor drove the expedition in person, even the three cities of the Zhou State, the emperor of the Zhou State at that time was mediocre, the prince was busy intriguing, and people were at the door of the house before they remembered to resist.
Fortunately, the spirit of the Zhou State was not exhausted, and the crown prince of the Zhou State ascended the throne, personally led the troops to the battlefield, and the Great Yan Emperor spent more than a month, and the grain and grass on both sides were exhausted, so the new emperor of the Zhou State proposed the conditions of land cession and compensation.
Emperor Dayan readily agreed, and in addition, he also asked to send protons to Dayan Jindu, and then put them back according to the situation when they reached the age of marriage.
The new emperor of Zhou didn't want to agree, but at that time, Zhou was worried about foreign troubles, and there was no way but to respond, and the three cities were returned to Dayan, and the annual tribute was paid every year.
And this proton candidate, Zhou Guo quarreled for a long time, and finally sent Gongsun Ye, the youngest of the Nine Emperor Sons, who was born with a crippled appearance, and Gongsun Ye's mother was strangled for studying witchcraft, and the mother family was scattered, and he didn't have any help.
The new emperor looked at this little son and felt strange and pitiful, and made an exception when he was ten years old and was named King An and sent to Dayan.
So far, Gongsun Ye has lived under the fence of Dayan for seventeen years.
lived until the new Emperor Dayan succeeded to the throne, and Zhou Guo didn't say that he would take him away, and he didn't even ask about his marriage.
They didn't care about it, and the emperor naturally didn't want to interfere, so he kept delaying.
In addition, he is not in good health, he is often sick in bed, and his face is half ruined, and no one wants to marry him, who knows if he will be widowed if he marries him?
It's just that he didn't expect that he would come together with Wei Jiusi quietly behind everyone's back.
……
Xin Xing was still chattering: "Otherwise, forget it, master, to put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with us who the eldest princess marries us, let's not wade into this troubled water." ”
If it was placed in the past, Chu Wuxian might really leave it alone, anyway, he would always be poked out in the end, he had a lot of things to be responsible for, and supervising the princess was not within his scope of responsibility.
But...... He lowered his eyes and glanced at the blood jade pendant on his waist, thinking of the relationship between Xie Shuangge and Wei Jiusi, he paused, raised his hand to interrupt Xin Xing's words: "I will tell Your Majesty about this matter." ”
Xin Xing was puzzled: "Why? ”
Chu Wuxian touched the jade pendant and said with deep meaning: "Princess Jianing has a very good personal relationship with her. ”
Xie Shuangge: "......"
Don't think I'm going to remember you like that!
Well, she has a clear grudge, and she will also remember the good deeds of this guy.
It was too risky for a woman to make a private decision for life, and she also supported telling the emperor's uncle first.
Xin Xing: "......"
He looked at Chu Wuxian with a complicated expression, and silently looked away.
What is the situation in the world?
He felt like a monster, and even a calm and resolute person like an adult was affected so far, how terrible!
……
Tea House Private Room.
Wei Jiusi's long eyelashes drooped, trembling slightly, like a butterfly about to fly.
The sun fell through the window, and half of her side face was so soft that it was a little transparent, like a fine mutton fat jade.
Sensing the unconcealed scorching gaze on the other side, Wei Jiusi buried his head lower, his cheeks slightly reddened.
"If you bow your head again, you will bury yourself in the teacup, this Longjing is so fragrant?" A laughing and joking voice sounded, Wei Jiusi couldn't help but purse his lips, and his heart beat even harder.
"It does smell good."
She made the person on the other side laugh like a mosquito.
"Okay, it's distracting to call you out, you're so restrained, I can't bear it, or should I go out?"
As he said that, he was about to stand up, Wei Jiusi hurriedly raised his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Don't-"
"Finally looking at me?"
Gongsun Ye's gentle gaze swept over the hand that was pulling his sleeve and fell up on Wei Jiusi's face.
Looking at each other, Wei Jiusi's face couldn't help but turn redder, "Don't go, if you're not here, I should go back." ”
Gongsun Ye sat down again, "Okay, don't go." ”
He let Wei Jiusi pull his sleeves, didn't stop it, didn't remind her, picked up the small plate on the table with the other hand, and put it in front of her: "This is a new dim sum developed by the chef, called crystal peach blossom jelly, which is said to be very popular with girls, I tried it once, and I think you should like it." ”
The feeling of being remembered made her heart move, and Wei Jiusi pinched a piece and looked at it.
The crystal peach blossom jelly is crystal clear, with pink peach petals floating in it, and the smell has a faint sweet fragrance of peaches, which makes people like it when they look at it.
She ate a piece under the expectant gaze of Gongsun Ye, it melted in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, cool, and really delicious.
She smiled slightly, "It's delicious." ”
Gongsun Ye also smiled, "If you like it, I'll ask Xiao Er to pack one later, and you can take it back to eat." ”
"Okay."
"What excuse did you use to sneak out today?" Gongsun Ye smiled and stretched out his hand and tapped it on her lips.
Wei Jiu was startled, and hurriedly stepped back, his eyes widening.
"Don't be afraid, you've got pastry crumbs on the corners of your lips."
Gongsun Ye handed her index finger in front of her, Wei Jiusi looked away a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Thank you, is there anything else?" ”
"It's gone." Gongsun Ye sat back in his seat, and Wei Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief.
"My mother and I told me to go out of the palace to see Jianing, and go back later."
"Princess Jianing again?" Gongsun Ye smiled, "I use her as a shield every time, if we get married in the future, we have to thank her well, and she can be regarded as our matchmaker." ”
Speaking of this, Wei Jiusi couldn't help but cover his lips and laugh, but soon his eyebrows were dyed a little melancholy, "We...... Can you really get married? ”
The smile on Gongsun Ye's lips gradually faded, and he sighed for a long time: "I have the heart to ask for marriage, but I am afraid that Your Majesty should not, the country of Dayan is rich and the people are strong, and there is no reason to let the princess and relatives, not to mention that I am not young, my appearance is defective, and I am still a sick man, no matter how I look at it, I am not a good candidate for a horse." ”
"But I'm only pleased with you!" Wei Jiusi hurriedly said: "If I marry someone else, I will not be happy." ”
Gongsun Ye's eyes were stunned, and he stretched out his hand to touch her face, but he stopped restrainedly, "Don't cry, maybe things will take a turn for the better, it's man-made, I will try my best to convince Your Majesty, but this matter is urgent, I have to make it clear to my father first, he agreed, and then I can propose." ”
Wei Jiusi pursed his lips, even though he was so shy that he didn't know where to put his gaze, he still firmly held Gongsun Ye's hand and put it on his face.
"My father is reasonable, he will not teach lovers to separate, as long as we insist, we can always be together, otherwise I would rather be with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of my life."
"Stop talking stupid."
Gongsun Ye touched her face gently, his eyes were gentle, but he was firm in his idea of repairing the book and sending it to Zhou Guo immediately.
