Chapter 7 Affection is Deep
Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Wen Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair, holding a red pen, correcting the recitals from all over the country.
Just then, a little eunuch walked in.
Seeing this, Gonggong Zhu possessed himself, walked lightly to the little eunuch's side, listened attentively, and then asked the little eunuch to leave, came to Emperor Wen Yuan's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen mother heard that Your Majesty was hard, and specially boiled ginseng bird's nest soup and brought it herself."
Hearing this, Emperor Wen Yuan put down the pen and said, "Let the queen come in."
After a while, wearing a phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix crown, and a faint wrinkle at the corner of her eyes, the queen mother who still had the charm walked in and saluted:
"The concubine has seen His Majesty".
"Exemption" Emperor Wenyuan said.
"The concubine saw that His Majesty had corrected the chapter, and it was very hard to make a bowl of ginseng and bird's nest soup to replenish her body, and asked Her Majesty to drink it while it was hot."
The queen held the jade bowl, walked up to the high platform, and handed it to Emperor Wen Yuan.
And then come behind the other person, gently squeeze the shoulders to relieve fatigue.
"It's also very hard for you to manage the harem, just leave these little things to your subordinates to do," Emperor Wen Yuan took a sip.
"This person is clumsy, and the concubine is not at ease," the queen smiled slightly.
Just halfway through the ginseng bird's nest soup, the queen said curiously: "The concubine heard that the people from the Northern Barbarians are coming, and it seems that she has plans to welcome her relatives."
Emperor Wen Yuan paused, then put the bowl on the table, and sighed: "I am already preparing to marry Zhaoyang Xu to the son of the Northern Barbarian Khan, and I have asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for related matters with relatives."
"So fast"?
The queen was a little surprised, and then said: "Your Majesty, this northern barbarian land is bitter and cold, and Zhaoyang is pampered, I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt; Why doesn't Your Majesty have to marry on behalf of you, find a palace maid to make her a princess?"
Emperor Wen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood, and touched the queen's hand: "Zhaoyang is my daughter, why don't I want her to be happy and find a good horse, but this time the Northern Barbarian envoy's intention is clear, and he has already inquired before coming to the palace."
If I find a palace maid to canonize at random, then I will definitely anger the Northern Barbarian envoy and fall into the mouth, and then the Northern Barbarian will use this as an excuse to cause a military disaster and a catastrophe is coming. ”
The queen's eyes darkened, she was such a daughter, and she really couldn't bear to let the other party go to that kind of barren and bitter cold place.
But as a queen, she also knows the importance of harmony.
Even the emperor has helpless times, let alone a queen.
"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang is outside the palace and wants to see you" At this time, Gonggong Zhu whispered.
"Your Majesty, the concubine will go back first"
Someone is coming, and the queen should choose to avoid it.
"You stay, help me persuade Zhaoyang well, let her stay in the palace quietly" Emperor Wen Yuan stopped, and then said to Gonggong Zhu: "Let her in."
Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Ye Ruoshui's eyes flickered, his expression was a little uneasy, like a stab in his back, and he whispered to Bai Yun: "I'll meet my father later, but don't be stupid, you must follow our previous good words, remember?"
You better take care of yourself, look at your thief-hearted appearance, you see that you have a ghost in your heart...... Bai Yun complained in his heart.
Then he nodded: "I know, I don't want to die; But you, don't be frightened by Your Majesty, just confess, otherwise I will die and I will not let you go."
"Hmph"
Ye Ruoshui snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, and this big liar spoke more and more out of proportion.
If it's not useful, I really want people to educate about what is called dignity and humility.
What grade, dare to talk to her in this tone.
"Princess, Your Majesty let you in"
After a while, a little eunuch came over and said respectfully.
"Whew"
Ye Ruoshui took a deep breath, cheered himself up in his heart, and then pursed the corners of his lips, gritted his teeth, and walked in with the posture of going to the execution ground.
Bai Yun looked at the eunuch, his bent back, and then glanced at his lower body, and couldn't help but feel cold somewhere.
began to pray in his heart, he must be deceived in the past, and the Bai family is still waiting for him to spread out.
And at this moment, Ye Ruoshui had already entered the Heart Nourishing Palace, and said, "I have seen my father and the queen."
"Why are you here?" said Emperor Wen Yuan calmly.
"Father"
Saying that, Ye Ruoshui knelt down and continued: "The child came this time to confess one thing to his father."
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Wen Yuan frowned, making such a big gift, it seems that this matter is not trivial.
Do you want to resist the decree and refuse to make peace?
"When my daughter went out of the palace to play before, she met a man named Bai Yun, and the child fell in love with him at first sight; I thought I would wait for the right opportunity to tell my father and queen mother about it.
Unexpectedly, the Beiban marriage happened, and my daughter knew the importance of this incident for the stability between the two countries.
I didn't want to say it.
But I didn't expect that after Bai Yun learned about this, he was desperate and broke into the palace without permission, which was a big crime, and asked his father to pardon him and let him leave safely."
Ye Ruoshui said affectionately, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, as if it was the real thing.
"Presumptuous, do you know what you're talking about" Emperor Wen Yuan's face sank and he scolded angrily.
"What the child says, everything is true"
"I just let you make peace with the Northern Barbarians, but only an hour before and after, a man came out, you can't take me for a fool."
Emperor Wen Yuan's tone sank, and a cold cold wind howled in the hall, making people tremble.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.
"Your Majesty, dissipate your breath"
The queen persuaded, and then looked at Ye Ruoshui who was kneeling on the ground, even she didn't expect such a thing, suppressed the shock in her heart, and said:
"Zhaoyang, the queen mother knows that you are resistant and unwilling to go to Beiban, but you can't joke about your innocence."
"Queen Mother, the child is not lying, what he said is true, Baiyun is outside the palace at the moment, if you and your father don't believe it, you can summon and ask."
Ye Ruoshui's heart swayed violently, gritted his teeth, and said firmly.
This......
The queen looked at Emperor Wen Yuan, and the two glanced at each other.
Emperor Wen Yuan spoke: "Zhaoyang, do you know that you are guilty of deceiving the king by doing this, I remember that you have a reason for it, if you leave and go back now, stay in the Ziluo Palace with peace of mind, and when the time comes, go to the Northern Barbarians, I can not blame the past."
"Father, the child knows that the matter of harmony is destined for the child, although he is unwilling, but for the stability of the two countries, the child is willing to go; But in the matter of Baiyun, there is no lie, please ask my father to learn clearly."
"Good, good, good"
said three good words in a row, which shows how angry Emperor Wen Yuan is in his heart at the moment, but he didn't expect that in order to refuse to make peace, he even made a horse out of nothing.
"I want to see who this person really is, and if it's what you say."
"Let him in".
After a short while, Bai Yun walked in, looking at the man on the dragon chair, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with a golden dragon, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, and between his eyebrows, there was a strong majesty, which made people dare not look directly at him.
There is also a rich woman beside her, and I don't know if it is a queen or a concubine.
knelt down and said: "Grass people Baiyun, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"You are Baiyun"?
Emperor Wen Yuan's eyes condensed, looking at the white clouds, unremarkable, and there were no bright spots, and at first glance, they were temporarily pulled over to make up the numbers.
"Do you know that deception is a great sin punishing the nine sins?"
Such a murderous sentence, if it were an ordinary person, would definitely tremble with fright.
But Bai Yun said earnestly as if he hadn't heard it: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to deceive you; The grass people met the princess outside the palace, and were attracted by her gentleness and kindness, and fortunately won her favor."
Emperor Wen Yuan's eyes sank: "What are you doing when you enter the palace?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people learned that the princess was about to marry the Beiban, and when they heard the news, the grass people were anxious and had trouble sleeping; Courageously, he entered the palace in the name of the princess, wanting to ask her if she was willing."
"What if you don't want to"?
"Then the grass people will take her away, the sky and the earth are big, there is always a place for us."
"Just because you also want to take Changji away from the palace," Emperor Wen Yuan increased his tone.
The palace is the safest place in the world, and no one in the world can quietly take people away from the palace.
Bai Yun took a deep breath, and his voice was majestic, containing a majesty that dominated the world: "The love is across the mountains and seas, and I am willing to move the mountains and seas; I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated.
Even if you die, you will have no regrets"
The unwavering voice echoed in the Heart Cultivation Palace, constantly impacting everyone in the hall.
Ye Ruoshui's eyes jumped, and she secretly looked at Bai Yun, this sentence made her heart move.
It's exactly the same as the unswerving love she imagined, but she didn't expect this liar to be quite handsome.
The queen and Emperor Wen Yuan were a little surprised, their eyes flickered, such a calm expression, such deep words, it seemed to be affectionate, it didn't seem to be a fake.
Is it true?
For a moment, both of them became a little uncertain.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen Yuan spoke: "I have already married Zhaoyang to the Northern Barbarians, this matter is related to the peace between the two countries, and there is no possibility of further discussion."
said, looking at Bai Yun: "As for you, for Zhaoyang's sake, as long as you rot this matter in your stomach, I will not only let you live, but also give you a sum of silver, which is enough for you to be rich for a lifetime, how about it."
Your Majesty, you let me live, but if I agree, the princess will definitely blow herself up and stab me in the back.
Bai Yun roared angrily in his heart, he just went out to do business, how could he encounter this kind of thing.
Is there any royal law?
Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clench together.
This big liar is very greedy for money, and the reason why she came was because she forced her to come.
At this moment, the father opened his mouth, not only to keep him safe, but also to give a large sum of silver.
Such a good thing, I would definitely agree to it.
Standing on her side is like taking chestnuts in the fire; If you give up, you will have a rich life.
Whoever changes this deal knows how to choose.
Thinking of this, her face turned pale, her eyelashes were like fluttering butterflies, fluttering and fanning, and there was a touch of blue and gray in her panicked eyes.
"Am I really unable to change the fate of Kazuko"?
