Chapter 6: Desire to Chase the Deer
"Marriage?"
Liu Chen subconsciously glanced at the direction of Gongsun You, and faced the prince who was full of eagerness in front of him, he smiled noncommittally, neither in favor nor against. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, marriage!" Seeing that Liu Chen's mood fluctuated little, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but feel relieved, and the smile on his face began to become warmer: "We need time now, the prince has just returned to Beijing, there are many things that cannot be done overnight, rather than rushing to meet the upcoming war like this, it is better to marry Rose to Wen Renhao......"
"You mean, we will show weakness first, and while we are proclaimed vassals, we will wait until the time is ripe, and then take them down in one go?"
Liu Chen sneered in his heart, although he didn't have much contact with His Royal Highness the Prince, but in the past, Liu Chen's impression of him was not bad, but who would have thought that it was time for His Royal Highness the Prince's idea...... How to put it, this idea is very royal and shameless!
"What the prince said is!" Liu Chen was thorough at a point, which really made His Royal Highness the Prince's heart happy, and he didn't care about the constant sobbing of his own sister-in-law behind him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought for a while, and said eloquently: "After Rose gets married, at least, it can buy us two more years, Xiao Wang believes that it only takes these two years for the prince to train an invincible army of a hundred battles by the Canglan River! At that time, I will be saved by hundreds of millions of lives in Daxia!"
"Huh!"
Liu Chen smiled, shook his head and said, "Since you have already thought of countermeasures, do you have anything else to do if you send me into the palace today?"
"That's it, of course I have to discuss it with the prince......"
"The marriage of the emperor is a family affair of the royal family, I am an outsider, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to say more!"
“...... Ahem......"
"Uh......" The emperor's sudden cough made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile for a while, and Liu Chen's attitude gradually turned cold, all of this began to make the atmosphere in the imperial study become weird, for a long time, the prince looked up at Liu Chen again, the inexplicable light in his eyes flashed, and in the face of the indifference of King Canglan, he hesitated and arched his hand and said: "In order to let the state religion see our sincerity, Xiao Wang hopes to ...... Hope ......"
"Hope for what?"
"Hope...... The prince can be this matchmaker!"
Liu Chen lowered his head, not for other reasons, but he didn't want to, he didn't want to suppress his anger to make the blood splash in this quiet hall on the spot, this prince is really shameless to the extreme, he wants Liu Chen to be a matchmaker and marry Gongsun You to Wen Renhao, what is this? The whole world knows that this Gongsun You once had a marriage contract with Liu Chen, if he really acted according to the prince's plan, then Liu Chen's reputation would not be washed even if he jumped into the Canglan River, the so-called big husband can bend and stretch, this is true, but if it really wants to be like that, Liu Chen might as well die!
......
I don't know how I got out of the imperial study, in general, Liu Chen still endured not tearing his face with the emperor and the crown prince, when the national disaster is at hand, he can endure it!
In the palace at night, it seems to be particularly deserted, Liu Chen frowned and walked behind the small yellow door with a lantern, walked out a long way in all directions, the courtyard was a little deeper, but no matter how you looked, this is not like the way you came, squinting her eyes, Liu Chen forcibly interrupted the thoughts in his heart, looked up at the direction of the stars and moon, and gradually, the coldness on the face of the King of Canglan finally began to be unscrupulous.
"Bang!"
"Lord Wang...... Hertz...... Spare ......"
The lantern fell to the ground, Xiao Huangmen's eyes widened in horror, his legs were constantly struggling to get off the ground, in the dark, Liu Chen appeared in front of him with a cold face, the big hand full of strength, like a pair of iron tongs slowly closing, pinched his neck, but after a few breaths, Xiao Huangmen's breathing was about to stagnate!
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem!"
As soon as he let go, the little yellow door sat down on the ground, and he didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, he knelt down in front of Liu Chen with a trembling face, and kept kowtowing to explain: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry, it was the emperor who asked the slave to lead the prince to Yongshou Palace!
"Yongshou Palace?" Liu Chen raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a hesitant expression: "You mean, Gongsun You wants you to take me to Yongshou Palace?"
"Yes, Lord Mingjian, when he came out earlier, Emperor Ji ordered that the servants take the prince there directly to meet Emperor Ji, saying that there is something important to discuss!"
"Something important?" Liu Chen snorted coldly, everything that happened today was enough to make him hold back the fire, "Lao Tzu just returned to Beijing, and you haven't eaten a bite of food, your important things are one after another, why, if you leave Lao Tzu, you will have to die in this Great Xia......?
"Lord Wang!"
Such a taboo words, Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to answer, and he didn't even dare to look at Liu Chen anymore, and it was only after His Royal Highness the King of Canglan scolded and scolded for a long time that he intermittently heard the footsteps of the King of Canglan going away.
Yongshou Palace, is the dormitory of the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty before leaving the pavilion, before Gongsun You, Liu Chen's biological mother Gongsun Ying lived here, even so, Liu Chen's impression of this place is vague and basically without outline.
Along the way, there were three or two agile figures flickering in the dark corners from time to time, and every time they crossed an arch, there was a palace maid who was obviously a cultivator to guide Liu Chen, which made the doubts on Liu Chen's face become deeper and deeper.
It seems that the Rose Emperor, who only knows the crying nose throughout the year, is not as simple as people see!
The exquisitely shaped palace lamps are dotted with strange candle flames, Liu Chen walked into the Yongshou Palace alone, and sat down at random with a soft collapse, there was no one in the palace at the moment, so quiet that even the night breeze could be heard very clearly.
It didn't take long for the smell of food to interrupt Liu Chen's closed eyes, and when he opened his eyes, Gongsun Youzheng, who had already changed into a vegetarian skirt, personally took two plates of side dishes, a pot of sake, and gently came to Liu Chen's side.
"Someone!" When he sat in front of Liu Chen, Gongsun You smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Clean your hands for the prince!"
The good-looking palace maids came to the hall with a basin of water and silk handkerchiefs, Liu Chen smiled, and went with them, and after some cleaning, he took the jade chopsticks handed by Gongsun You, and did not speak, and the king of Canglan took care of himself and feasted.
"Eat slowly, there's still miles in the kitchen!"
Watching Liu Chen eat to her heart's content, the exhaustion on Gongsun You's face weakened slightly, and her bright eyes flickered a few times, and a soft smile bloomed on her face.
Although the Yongshou Palace is quiet, but the atmosphere is extremely harmonious, for many years, Liu Chen is the first man who came to visit Gongsun You after entering this palace, if it were not for the unpredictable world, he would also be the man who married Gongsun You and left the Wanshou Palace.
Although God's will makes people, Liu Chen no longer belongs to her grandson, but in her heart, being able to enjoy the current moment of warmth is the greatest happiness in life.
After being full of wine and food, Liu Chen lazily leaned back, stretched out his hand to take the teacup handed by Gongsun You, paused, he chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm full of food and drink!
"Don't dare to do it!" Gongsun You's little face turned red, and he approached Liu Chen's side with a smile, looking at it from a distance, as if he was leaning into Liu Chen's arms, "It's just that my father is afraid that time is running out, and the concubine intends to chase the deer, and I don't know if the gentleman's heart can make expectations?" )
