Chapter Twenty-Seven: King Huai

The capital of the Northern Ming Kingdom is Shangyuan City

The sky is blue, the breeze blows the crisp song of the birds, and the turquoise surface of the lake sparkles in the refraction of the sun.

The winding covered bridge by the lake is dotted with slim pink lotus flowers, and from time to time a quiet lotus fragrance wafts through, attracting a few dragonflies to stay on the flowers and leaves, adding a fresh life to this picturesque beauty.

Walking along the winding water covered bridge, there is a water pavilion standing on the water.

This water pavilion located in the south of Shangyuan City, the back is connected with the water covered bridge, facing the water on three sides, with a wide field of vision and the ultimate scenery, which is favored by many literati and artists, and even many elegant celebrities come here.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come here every day, but today it is almost deserted, probably because there are a dozen soldiers standing straight at the entrance of the covered bridge, so at this time, there are only two young men and women in gorgeous clothes sitting in the water pavilion.

The woman is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate appearance, wearing a pink and white butterfly cardigan skirt, a pine colored light gauze shawl, black hair curled into a delicate double ring looking at the fairy bun, the hairpin stars and the moon, and the pearls and emeralds around her body collide with a crisp sound between her gestures.

From time to time, she looked towards the entrance of the covered bridge, as if looking for something.

When she retracted her gaze again, there was a faint look of loss in her eyes, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

"What are you anxious about? Didn't he promise to come? ”

The man sitting next to her looked at her helplessly, and handed her a plate of snacks, "Eat something, you haven't even eaten a bite since you got up." ”

There is a slight resemblance between the eyebrows and eyes of the man and the woman, he is about twenty-five years old, tall, dignified, his face lines are particularly tough, and his two bright eyes reveal a resolute and calm color, and the whole person looks heroic and magnificent.

The woman shook her head, fiddled with the tea cup in front of her absentmindedly, and muttered, "I should have gone to his house to wait for him, although he agreed, but I was afraid that he would suddenly not come again." ”

The man frowned a little unpleasantly, looking at her with a slight reproach in his eyes, but he couldn't hide the implicit concern, "Are you embarrassed to say it?" You are a girl's family, and the number of times you run to this Huaiwang Mansion is almost catching up with your brother and my general's mansion, do you still have a little shame? Besides, if this Huai Wang had that kind of thought for you, he would not ignore your name and let you run to his house all day long. In my opinion, he probably let you enter and leave his Huaiwang Mansion for the sake of our father and your brother and me, but you girl is still wishful thinking......"

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw the woman's eyebrows frowning slightly, biting her red lips, and throwing a resentful look at him, "Even if he doesn't like me now, it doesn't mean that he won't like me in the future!" Besides, second brother, you promised me, no matter who I like, you will support me! ”

Seeing that she was slightly annoyed, the man opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and his tone softened unconsciously, "Okay, okay, my brother doesn't say it." ”

He sighed helplessly, poured her a cup of tea again, and doted on his eyes, "But you also have to know how to be restrained, my brother knows that you like him, but you are not a girl who has not been out of the cabinet and is not decent to run to him!" Now the city is full of the pearl of the Prime Minister's family, and my sister of the Iron Cavalry General is infatuated with King Huai, how do you say you will marry in the future? ”

This man is the general of the iron cavalry of the Beiming Kingdom, and he is the year of his return. And the woman is the younger sister of Feng Guinian, the only daughter of Feng Lanzhi, the prime minister of the Beiming Kingdom, and the only concubine of Feng Lanzhi, Feng Chengcheng.

"I don't want to marry anyone else but him."

"You girl......"

Feng Guinian wanted to educate her well, but when the words of reprimand came to his mouth, he was reluctant to spit out half a heavy word.

His younger sister has been pampered since she was a child, and is regarded as the pearl of the palm by the family, and the family loves her very much, where is she willing to say half a heavy word about her, including his always strict father, once he is helpless against this little sister. Therefore, as long as it is something she likes, she will try her best to give it to her, even if it is the seventh prince of the dynasty, with the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the military power of his iron cavalry general, no one dares to say a word "no".

Feng Guinian's words changed, and he looked quite helpless, "Alas, let's not say that King Huai is willing to marry you, even our father may not allow this family business." ”

A layer of confusion appeared in Feng Qingcheng's eyes, and she tilted her head and asked puzzledly, "Second brother, why is Daddy always unhappy that I have dealings with him?" ”

Feng Guinian paused slightly, and his slightly frowned eyebrows looked thoughtful.

Under Feng Chengcheng's inquiring gaze, he thought about it again and again, and decided to tell her the stakes. In the past, she felt that the less she knew about these treacherous things, the more carefree she would become, but now that she is so devoted to King Huai, as a member of the Feng family, she must understand.

He looked at the rippling blue lake and said earnestly: "This situation is treacherous, and the situation is changing rapidly. Today's prince is too mediocre, deposed is a matter of time, now the prince, King An, King Ning three-legged, only King Huai's foundation is still shallow, and he has become idle clouds and wild cranes, in order to be alone, not involved in the party struggle. But how could his identity allow him to stay out of the matter all the time? One day, he will choose a tree to live in. And my father is in a high position, no matter how the princes have tried to win him over the years, he has not been involved in party disputes, but only maintains a neutral attitude, which is why the emperor favors and trusts him. If you marry King Huai, and he chooses his good wood, how do you let your father deal with himself? If you take a hair and move your whole body, the honor and disgrace of our entire Feng family will be turbulent with King Huai, do you understand? ”

Feng Chengcheng's eyes moved, and suddenly sat upright, looking at Feng Guinian extremely seriously, her voice was clear, and every word was extremely clear, "Allure doesn't understand the situation between the DPRK and China, but Allure knows very well that in this life, I will not marry him!" ”

Feng Guinian was shocked by the determination in her eyes, for the first time in so many years, he saw her show such a look, and he was speechless for a while.

It seems that his sister really likes King Huai!

He was silent for a long time, and was about to say something, when he heard a commotion at the entrance of the covered bridge, and soon a clear voice came from afar.

"I've been waiting."

The jade-like warm timbre is like a cool breeze in the ears on a summer day, with a hint of freshness and refreshing.

Hearing the prestige, he saw a man with a clear breeze coming from the winding covered bridge, and everything in this world became his background.

He was dressed in white and snowy, with long wind sleeves, black hair like flowing clouds pouring down from his shoulders, letting the lake breeze blow, a white hairband loosely tied the black silk on both sides behind his head, and the white jade tassel pendant hanging from his waist swayed lightly with his steps.

It seems that the face is delicately drawn by the best painter in the world, and every stroke shows the elegance and beauty. On the tranquil face, the eyebrows are clear, and the phoenix eyes are narrow and long, containing shallow warmth. The color, the whole person is clear and dusty, like a fairy.

When he walked to the water pavilion, he saw a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and bowed slightly at them.

"General Feng, Miss Feng."

Feng Guinian hurriedly got up, bowed to him and said, "His Royal Highness King Huai." ”

Feng Chengcheng's pretty face was flushed, with a peach blossom-like charm, she got up and called softly shyly: "Brother Rong Sui." ”
