Chapter 19: The Lover Returns
Shen Bingdie's face suddenly turned red beautifully, the beautiful guqin, and the prince who fell in love at first sight by her side.
It turned out that Nalan Xujin had woken up a long time ago and deliberately pretended to be asleep on the ground, just to listen to her play "Drunk Diao Chan".
On such a cold day, lying on the ground and pretending to be asleep, listening to her play the guqin, it was really embarrassing for him.
Ouyang Xirong also opened her eyes, and when she saw the men all over the ground, she screamed in surprise, and then, she anxiously looked at her clothes and saw that her clothes were still there, and then she slapped her heart with her jade hand, as if she was frightened.
"With me by your side, even if there are a few men sleeping next to you, you will be fine." Shen Bingdie said with a gentle face:
For women, innocence is the most important thing, and ruining one's innocence for a good meal of wine is really unjust.
Especially a beautiful girl like Ouyang Xirong.
The day dawned, and the warm sunlight shone on Ouyang Xirong's body, crossing a layer of golden light.
Nalan Xujin also woke up, squinted his eyes, looked at the rising sun, and said, "My God, it's all dawn, and I played all night, and my father knows about it, so he has to kill me." ”
Ouyang Xirong smiled, squinted her eyes, and said, "As a prince of the dynasty, you actually fooled around with a group of courtiers all night, and let the emperor know, I'm afraid you will abolish your status as a prince, right?" ”
Nalan Xujin was full of excitement, and instantly smiled: "Little girl, if you tell your father about last night, I will tell my father that you seduce His Royal Highness the current prince and drive you out of the palace." ”
Ouyang Xirong grabbed Shen Bingdie's arm with one arm and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go with Sister Shen Bingdie, let's see, who is reluctant?" ”
Nalan Xujin hurriedly said: "I wanted to drive you away, I didn't say that I wanted to drive Shen Bingdie's sister away, don't expand the scope of the attack." ”
Ouyang Xirong said: "Sister Shen Bingdie and I are like sisters, if you are leaving, she will naturally follow me." ”
Shen Bingdie nodded and said, "If Ouyang Xirong is leaving, I will also accompany her." ”
Nalan Xujin said: "I'm joking, I don't have that much power. ”
Ouyang Xirong said: "You are the prince, you are likely to inherit the throne in the future, the whole world is your family, how can you have no power?" ”
At this time, Princess Mengyue and Shen Jianghan had already woken up and stood aside to watch the excitement.
Outside the door came the footsteps of a samurai, and the leaves of the pear tree fell a few and fluttered, turning and falling to the ground.
A warrior in armor stood in front of Nalan Xujin and fell to his knees.
"Is something wrong? Jia Bingwu? Nalan Xujin asked, this warrior is none other than Nalan Xujin's confidant Jia Bingwu, who is about 26 years old and has a sword at his waist.
Jia Bingwu said: "His Royal Highness, General Nangong Ling has put down the southeast rebellion and returned triumphantly. ”
Nalan Xujin was surprised for a while, waved his hand at Jia Bingwu, and told him not to say any more, Nalan Xujin turned his head and quietly glanced at Shen Bingdie.
Shen Bingdie suddenly turned around, if it weren't for Ouyang Xirong beside her, she almost fainted to the ground, Nangong Ling is her lover, two childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, Lin Shoulong in the southeast rebelled, Nangong Ling led an army of 100,000 to fight against the rebels, and finally put down the rebellion in the southeast and wiped out Lin Shoulong's 100,000 army, and now he has returned triumphantly.
Shen Bingdie looked forward to her lover's return day and night, and she and Nangong Ling secretly agreed that when the rebellion was quelled, a wedding would be held, and the two of them would live a sweet life together.
For this day, Shen Bingdie has been waiting for more than half a year, worrying about Nangong Ling every day, and having nightmares almost every day, and now, the lover has returned victoriously.
Why isn't Shen Bingdie excited?
Nangong Ling quelled the rebellion in the southeast, and returned with an army of 100,000 stationed outside the capital.
Lives in the Tianbo Hou Mansion of the Nangong family.
Last night, his father, Nangong La, entered Nangong Ling's room alone, and Nangong Ling took off his armor and became a scholar in white.
Seeing Nangong La coming in, Nangong Ling knelt down and said, "Father, my son asks for peace to my father." ”
Nangong La nodded, supported Nangong Ling with both hands, and said: "My good son, you have made immortal achievements, my father is very happy, I heard that you have returned triumphantly and are going to marry Shen Bingdie, the daughter of the Marquis of Fengjiang, isn't it?" ”
Nangong Ling nodded and said, "Shen Bingdie and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have long made a private agreement for life, and when I come back this time, I will definitely fulfill my promise and marry her, she is a good girl." ”
Nangong La sighed and said: "I grew up watching you and Shen Bingdie, Shen Bingdie is a good boy, I have long regarded Shen Bingdie as my daughter-in-law, but now, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Nangong Ling hurriedly said, "Why? Can't I marry Shen Bingdie? ”
Nangong La stopped talking, paused, and then said: "I heard that the emperor is going to give you a marriage and marry Princess Zhenting, the daughter of Concubine Xiao, to you as a wife." ”
"Princess Zhenting?" Nangong Ling was taken aback and said, "I only have Shen Bingdie alone in my heart, and I haven't seen Princess Zhenting yet, why would I suddenly want to marry her?" ”
"This is the emperor's will, if you resist the decree, you will be killed, even if you quell the southeast rebellion, don't resist the decree, listen to the emperor, you and Princess Zhenting will be married." Nangong La said:
Nangong Ling was stunned and said, "Then, what about Shen Bingdie?" I only love Shen Bingdie alone. ”
Nangong La said: "If you love Shen Bingdie, you must abandon her, otherwise you and she will both die." ”
Nangong Ling was dumbfounded and said, "You asked me to abandon Shen Bingdie and marry Princess Zhenting?" ”
Nangong La nodded.
The palace was boiling, and Emperor Nalan was a talented man, and he summoned the civil and military ministers to greet him in front of the Jinluan Treasure Palace.
Nangong Lingjin helmet and golden armor, riding a high-headed white horse, dumb like a prince with white horse and golden armor.
On both sides were the civil and military ministers who knelt on the ground to greet them, including Nangong Ling's father Nangong La, and now his father is also kneeling to himself among the civil and military ministers, Nangong Ling glanced at his father Nangong La, sighed slightly, and strode into the Jinluan Treasure Palace.
In the Tianbo Hou Mansion, the mighty general Nangong Ling's golden helmet and golden armor arrived in the mansion, and a team of golden warriors stood on both sides.
Suddenly, a girl with long hair fluttering was juju outside the palace gate, she was wearing a pale green gauze skirt, a jade belt was tied around her waist, and she was covered in jewels, she danced like a swallow, and juju seemed to stick to her.
The sound of her swallow warbler filled the entire palace.
In the majestic palace, on the Jinluan Palace, there was actually a young girl's silver bell-like laughter, bowing.
A palace maid was behind her and shouted softly: "Princess Zhenting, come back quickly, this is the palace, your father will be angry." ”
Hearing the palace maid's soft shout, Nangong Ling stopped, turned around, stared at the girl with her eyes firmly on the bowing girl, and thought, "She is Princess Zhenting?" Today, the emperor wants to give me a marriage and want me to marry her? ”
The beautiful Princess Zhenting hooked Keju with her foot, turned her head, looked at the panicked palace maid, and said with crooked eyebrows: "This is my father's world, my father regards me as the pearl of his palm, what's wrong with me here?" ”
The palace maid said in a panic: "Today, it is the day when His Majesty the Emperor receives General Nangong Ling and returns triumphantly, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are kneeling to greet him, Your Royal Highness Princess, let's go back with me quickly." ”
Nangong Ling walked out from the kneeling courtiers.
Princess Zhenting looked at Nangong Ling from a distance and asked the palace maid, "Everyone else is kneeling, why is he standing?" Who is he? ”
The palace maid glanced at it and said, "That general is Nangong Ling in the southeast of Pingding, and now the ministers are kneeling on the ground to greet him, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to receive him." ”
"It's so mighty!" Princess Zhenting looked at Nangong Ling in the distance, Nangong Ling also looked at Princess Zhenting, and when she got closer, Princess Zhenting looked at Nangong Ling blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
The general was stunned.
Captured the heart of a young girl.
Princess Zhenting looked at the tall and burly Nangong Ling, asked, and said, "Who are you?" Why do they kneel to greet you? ”
Nangong Ling said: "I'll go to Nangong Ling." ”
"What?" Princess Zhenting opened her cherry mouth and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are Nangong Ling?" ”
She had already heard rumors in the palace that Nangong Ling had quelled the rebellion in the southeast.
Nangong Ling said: "You are Princess Zhenting?" ”
Princess Zhenting exclaimed in surprise and said, "Yes, my name is Princess Zhenting, do you know me?" ”
Nangong Ling nodded with a smile, strode past Princess Zhenting, and walked towards the palace.
After a while, Princess Zhenting came back to her senses, and the palace maid grabbed Princess Zhenting, and Princess Zhenting's eyes still fell on Nangong Ling in the distance.
Nalan Xujin appeared in the distance, looking at Princess Zhenting, only to see Princess Zhenting with her toes hooked and bowing, standing there lightly, stopped in the air.
Princess Zhenting's eyes were glued to Nangong Ling's majestic body.
Nalan Xujin walked in and gently patted Princess Zhenting on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Princess Zhenting came back to her senses and turned her head to see Nalan Xujin.
"Brother Prince, are you here?"
"Hmm." Nalan Xujin nodded, pointed at Nangong Ling who entered the palace with a finely carved folding fan of ivory, squinted his eyes and said, "He is Nangong Ling?" ”
Princess Zhenting blinked her eyes and said, "Yes, he put down the southeast rebellion, and our father is going to receive her, I don't know what to reward him?" ”
Nalan Xujin blocked his mouth with a folding fan, stretched his head closer, and gently attached it to her ear and said, "I heard that my father is going to reward you to Nangong Ling." ”
Suddenly, Princess Zhenting blushed to the base of her neck.
"I'm only 16 years old, brother prince, you talk nonsense." Princess Zhenting turned around, and Nalan Xujin had already walked away.
In the palace, there was a solemn silence, and Emperor Nalan Xiongcai was sitting on the Jinluan Palace, beside him were Concubine Qin Niangniang and Concubine Xiao, and next to him stood Concubine Qin's confidant Wang Aixian.
The palace is golden, with a sky surrounded by nine dragons overhead, white marble on the ground, and a white marble railing next to it, which is embedded with glittering gems.
Nangong Ling and the five generals stood at the door solemnly, and when they heard the chief eunuch let them in, the six people began to bow and bow nine times outside the hall neatly.
In the end, the six men knelt down before the emperor together.
The six generals fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but on the Jinluan Palace, they were sincerely frightened, kneeling there, motionless.
The emperor looked down at His Highness with satisfaction, and said for a while: "The six generals are flat." ”
Nalan Xiongcai said: "Your Nangong family has made miraculous contributions to my country for generations, and I must reward you heavily this time." ”
The emperor canonized the six as loyal princes, and then gave marriage to Nangong Ling, and gave his daughter Princess Zhenting to Nangong Ling as his wife, and got married on a certain day.
Nangong Ling suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, no." ”
Nalan Xiongcai frowned and said, "What? Nangong Ling, do you want to resist the will and disrespect? Or is my precious daughter not worthy of you? ”
Nangong Ling said: "I have a childhood sweetheart lover named Shen Bingdie, before the Southeast Rebellion, I promised her to marry her, the eldest husband made a statement, I can't marry her, and marry Princess Zhenting." ”
Nalan Xiongcai said: "You can marry your real baby daughter, Princess Zhenting, as your wife, and then marry Shen Bingdie as your concubine." ”
What else does Nangong Ling have to say.
Nalan Xiongcai said: "It's settled like this."
Now, you will be my colt, and I will order you to be married in three days. ”
Nangong Ling knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the Longen of His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live." ”
Nalan Xiongcai was very happy and held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the Nangong family.
Nalan Xujin appeared on the Jinluan Palace, the folding fan in his hand waved gently, and a burst of chime incense came, he said: "Congratulations, General Nangong Ling, no, I should call you Zhongguo Gong, now, you married my sister Princess Zhenting and became my father's concubine, we will be a family in the future, congratulations on joining our royal family." ”
Nangong Ling clenched his fists in his chest and said, "Your Royal Highness, the minister is polite." ”
Nalan Xujin walked into Nangong Ling's side lightly, and said, "General Nangong, Shen Bingdie has been waiting for you for more than half a year, don't snub the beauty's heart." ”
