Chapter 229: Dragon City Enchantment (12)

The queen's bedroom is divided into three major rooms: inside, middle and outside, among which the outer room is the living room, and the middle is the residence of the maid of the maid, although it is the room of the maid under the ring, the decoration is also very gorgeous, and everywhere can reflect the style of the queen and the queen of the world. The living room is called "Lanfeng Pavilion" is dotted with precious orchids everywhere, each pot of orchids is carefully cared for by the gardeners selected from all over the heavenly king realm, sent into the palace, each pot is priceless, the utensils of Sheng Orchid have different forms according to the different categories of orchids, the shape is elegant and chic, with delicate orchid leaves, blooming orchids are pleasing to the eye. Compared with those vulgar gold branches and jade leaves to make decorations, that is, elegant and tasteful, the connotation of orchids is very deep, so it also reflects the deep connotation of the owner.

The different furnishings in the house are mostly mahogany, nanmu, inlaid with gold and jade in the hands of the craftsman, full of ancient charm, ingenuity and extremely luxurious. There is no need to light up at night, and the precious jewels in the house alone can illuminate the whole house.

At this moment, in this hall, in front of a gold-trimmed, ivory-topped dining table, Chu Ci was holding a wine glass in his hand, blood dripping from his heart, and he was toasting the emperor duplicitously. Although she was reluctant in her heart, the voice of the Holy Ancestor lingered in her ears over and over again.

"Chu Ci, you remember, you and your sister Bao must sing this play to me, for the sake of the common people in the world, even if you try everything you can, you have to delay time as much as possible. ”

Drinking the wine toasted by Princess Mingzhu and carefully examining the pretty and noble face of Chu Ci, the emperor was overjoyed and happy.

"Father, my son will give you another cup, and I wish my father a long life. Chu Ci stood up elegantly, holding the wine glass in both hands, and respectfully raised the wine glass in front of the emperor, a brilliant pearl on the princess's forehead shone on the wine in the glass, and also made the princess's face more glamorous, even the pretended smile caused chaos in the hearts of the ministers and envoys below.

The emperor's cheeks were already flushed, and he looked at the wine glass held by his daughter's delicate little hand in a daze, waved his hand and said, "If you don't drink it, don't drink it, son, your father will get it, and if you drink it again, you will be drunk." ”

"Father," Chu Cinu pursed his red lips and said in a coquettish voice: "My son listened to the queen mother, you have a thousand glasses of alcohol that you don't get drunk, how come you get drunk after just two drinks to your daughter!"

The emperor is generally after the queen is cold, and he will not get drunk when he drinks here alone, but since his daughter returned to the palace, the gloom clouds that have been caged on the queen's face for many years have been swept away, and this time he saw his daughter's delicate and pretty appearance, and heard his daughter's sweet voice, which made him shake drunk, crispy and numb, and he had never experienced it in front of the ministers. But for the last cup, don't force my father again, otherwise I'll be angry. ”

"Okay!" Chu Ci lowered his head and blinked, and said obediently.

Seeing that the emperor raised his glass, the ministers below also raised their glasses, smiling one by one.

Several old ministers were quite excited, raised the sleeves of their robes and gently wiped their tears, probably never saw the emperor so happy as today, and sighed: "My emperor's family of three feasted and entertained the ministers for days, which really made the ministers grateful. ”

"The emperor's family is harmonious and beautiful, it is really a blessing for the country, and it is also a model for the country!"

"The queen is the mother of the world, the princess is even more dignified and noble, the heroine among the women, it is the wind and the tiger and the dragon, which is the auspicious omen of the country. ”

With a few old ministers taking the lead, the flattery among the ministers was endless.

"Okay, since all Aiqing said so, I am also very happy today, today I will borrow my daughter's glass of wine to toast all Aiqing, dry!" The emperor was proud, and his speech was also sonorous and powerful, and he took the lead in doing it after speaking.

"Phew! a group of sycophants, what bullshit auspicious, it's almost like to fall!" Yingbao, as a special envoy, sat at the same table with the emperor and queen and Princess Mingzhu, she raised the wine glass to her lips, and secretly pouted and scolded in her heart, her red lips lightly dipped on the wine glass, and by the way, she gave Chu Ci a look.

Chu Ci comprehended, stood up and bowed respectfully, "Father, my son has a small gift for you." ”

"Oh?" the emperor was stunned for a moment, wrinkled his sword eyebrows and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You gave me a gift?"

Chu Ci shyly took out a small round cloth bag from his pocket, shaped like a red heart, embedded with bright diamonds, filled with some vanilla, fragrant, and sewn a ribbon made of gold thread at the upper end, which could be hung around the waist, and a tassel fell below, and the upper end of the tassel was tied with a beautiful knot.

"What is this?" said the emperor, who held it in his hand for a long time and shook his head.

The emperor had never seen this object, and neither had the civil and military officials below, so they all stared and watched, waiting for Chu Ci to reveal the answer.

Chu Ci smiled, "Father, this is what Erchen learned in the Wulin Continent, this is called a purse, it symbolizes reunion, I specially made one for you and the Queen Mother," Chu Ci lowered his head and blushed and said: "Erchen's needlework is not done well, Father should not dislike it." ”

The emperor had seen too much of those delicate embroideries, and when he looked down carefully, the needlework of the purse was indeed not ordinarily clumsy, and he couldn't help grinning secretly, but this thing was both a gift from his daughter and a symbol of reunion, so he gladly accepted it.

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor!"

An old minister watched for a long time, and suddenly bowed upward.

"Oh!" Seeing the old minister's eyebrows and smile, the emperor was puzzled and asked, "Why did Aiqing say this?"

"Hey, hey!" The old minister said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the thing that the princess gave to the emperor is a new culture" The old man praised the purse like a river, and there was some foam at the corner of his mouth, so he cut to the point and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this thing is a symbol of reunion, please forgive the old minister's old eyes and be dizzy, and the minister is willing to ask the emperor to let the old minister open his eyes, and he can also let his children and grandchildren follow suit when he goes back." ”

Chu Ci's face was flushed with shame, and countless hearts were beating in his heart, as if beating a war drum, and he silently recited in his heart: "Can't let him see it, if he sees that work, won't he be laughed at behind his back!"

The emperor didn't have to look at Chu Ci's face, he also knew that truth in his heart, in order to cover up his daughter's shame, the child generally held the purse in the palm of his hand, turned around and said, "That's not good, my daughter gave it to me." Looking at the face of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Muran, the emperor said: "Okay, I will order people to do more another day, and each person will reward you with one, it's late today, all the Aiqing are scattered!"

Since the emperor issued an order to expel guests, everyone did not dare to say much, but this object has since spread in the Heavenly King Realm.

After another three knocks and nine bows, the ministers got up and dispersed, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall cleaned up the mess and walked back and forth, and the emperor's family of three and Baotianguan all entered the middle hall.

Chu Ci's marriage was finally put on the agenda.

The emperor played with the small gift given by Chu Ci, and felt that it was very beautiful in his heart, and said to himself: "This thing has a good meaning, but the work is a little worse." ”

"If your daughter gave it to you, you should be content!" the queen said angrily.

The emperor was really powerful in front of the ministers, and when he arrived in front of the queen, he became a cat, and the queen's coquettishness was like the owner combing the cat's fur, and the emperor smiled and said, "Didn't I give you one?"

The queen blinked, took out the small purse given to her by Chu Ci from her pocket, picked it up and shook it in front of the emperor's eyes, the emperor took the one in the queen's hand, put it together with his own, raised his eyes to look at the queen, the two looked at each other, and there was tenderness in their eyes that they had never seen before.

"The two of them want to show affection, there will be more opportunities in the future, let's talk about serious things!" Yingbao looked at the affectionate appearance of the two, and said softly.

"Disappointing!" The emperor glanced at Yingbao, his face became serious, and said: "The conditions I proposed, if the snowy region is willing to agree, my daughter will marry, and if you don't agree, you won't have to talk about it." ”

"Over there in the elven land, I can talk about dissolving the relationship with Princess Qin, but the matter of repairing the starry sky plank road in the Wulin Continent is too expensive, I'm afraid the Holy Ancestor will not agree, and this has nothing to do with Chu Ci's wedding, it is really a rude request. Yingbao said indeed.

"How can it not matter, as far as I know, the Wulin Continent is full of treasures, and the people there are stubborn, I still want to give him to my daughter as a fief after I conquer it." After the emperor finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and the smile was very calm.

What idea he had in his heart, Yingbao already knew it, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and sneered: "Why can't you temporarily put aside your ambitions and think about Chu Ci's happiness! Chu Ci is no longer small, and if you don't get married, you will be laughed at by the world." ”

Yingbao's words made the emperor speechless for a while, even though he had confirmed that Chu Ci was his own flesh and blood with blood drops, but after all, he had not raised Chu Ci for a day, and he thought that he was a little unreasonable, but if he didn't take this opportunity to open the seal of Bamen Mountain, I am afraid that there would be no good opportunity in the future. Thinking of this, the emperor said unreasonably: "You don't have to scare me with words, my daughter is still worried about not being able to get married?"

"But you also have to think about her, she can marry comfortably, just find a royal relative to marry, she will not be happy for the rest of her life. ”

"The emperor's daughter, there is nothing unsatisfactory in marriage, just say, which family to marry is not to call for wind and rain!"

Yingbao's face turned blue with anger when she heard this, and she took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, I won't talk to you today, I will think about it again, and by the way, I will send someone back to inform the Holy Ancestor to see what her opinion is." ”

"It's okay!" Since Chu Ci returned to the palace, the emperor has been around her for several days, feasting foreign envoys, and accepting worship from various countries, and this time mentioning her marriage, he also felt a little dizzy, so he nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave!" Yingbao stood up, looked at Chu Ci, and said, "Chu Ci, let's go, I'll go to live with you today." ”

"Father, mother, and son-in-law retired first. Chu Ci said a blessing lightly and left with Yingbao.

The Great Emperor was still kept in the dark, Chu Ci and Yingbao came prepared, so it had already been arranged by the Holy Ancestor, and this series of activities was enough to delay for two months and distract the Great Emperor. Chu Ci endured the torment of his soul in the palace, and Mo Cong's place, the war was burning fiercely.
