Chapter 40 The Old Man
The annexation of Zaigang is a major event celebrated by the whole world.
The nine princes who were in command and triumphant, Helian Shu, received military merits and awards in the court, and he couldn't wait to run to his fifth brother's mansion when he got off the court. Helian Shu's temperament has changed a lot in recent years, he no longer stays in the land of fireworks as before, he married a concubine, and was trained in the army hard, and the only thing that remains is the nature of a big boy, who is simple and not good at scheming.
"Fifth brother and fifth brother, you are still satisfied with my expedition this time. Zaigang is a whole barbarian nation, they are really warriors from top to bottom, they are so fearless, they don't seem to be afraid of anything. ”
"Because they believe in the Heavenly Mountains, this is the courage God has given them. ”
"They have a god of fart, a captive of a captive who has been killed, and their god does not know where it is. ”
The two royal brothers of Helian paced here and heard the sharp sound of whips, the fierce sound of the long whip whipping the air, which made the Nine Princes particularly curious. He followed the prestige, a tall woman was waving her nine-section whip in the courtyard, and two people sitting leisurely under the porch next to him were eating melon seeds.
Helian Shu was eager to jump into the courtyard, wanting to catch the whip with his bare hands, Long San's whip was wielded cleanly and sensitively, dodging and attacking, with ease, Helian Shu was stimulated to strengthen the offensive.
Seeing that the two of them were fighting more and more disregardful, the woman under the corridor ordered: "Third sister, don't hurt anyone." ”
The Ninth Prince, Helian Shu, couldn't swallow this breath, he didn't believe that a soldier who had been honed for several years couldn't beat a woman.
Long San turned from offensive to defense, and the Nine Princes were angry at the moment, and made a heavy move.
When King Yin stepped forward to stop the Nine Princes, Princess Yin happened to come over. She paused for a moment, not expecting that King Yin and the Nine Princes were here. A brief greeting and an explanation of what he meant. The queen invited her to visit the lake to enjoy the flowers, she wanted to invite Shui Ruoshan to accompany her, this girl has stayed in this courtyard almost every day since she came to the palace.
Princess Yin's softness and kindness have always been praised by people, and her friendly care for Shui Ruoshan has made Shui Ruoshan fearful. She was about to refuse Princess Yin's invitation, Helian Shu on the side walked over and pulled her arm, staring at her tightly, and his puzzled eyes repeatedly looked at half of her face, slowly becoming incredible.
King Yin knew that this young man who had just fallen in love with her when he was young easily recognized Shui Ruoshan.
"Ruo'er, are you Ruo'er? You're Ruo'er, aren't you!" Helian Shu kept shaking her, desperate to know the answer.
Shui Ruoshan saw all kinds of emotions of surprise, sadness, and hesitation in his eyes, and she didn't know if she could still treat Helian Shu with a simple heart after those things back then.
Shui Ruoshan quickly slapped away the hand of the Nine Princes who wanted to take off her veil, and shouted angrily: "Helian Shu!" The latter hugged her excitedly as if he was encouraged, and he couldn't speak with his breath. The Helian Shu in Shui Ruoshan's memory was as simple and emotional as now, she was helplessly held by him, and the memory of laughing and playing with Helian Shu quickly flooded into her mind, she slowly raised her hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
King Yin looked at the two people embracing each other, but inexplicably gave birth to a warm feeling.
Only then did Princess Yin know that this girl, whom she had never seen or heard anyone mention, was actually an old acquaintance of the two princes. She had long forgotten that this Shui Ruoshan in front of her had been her unintentional words that exposed her identity.
After a while, Helian Shu let go of Shui Ruoshan: "Why are you still alive...... At that time, you were not ...... by the fifth brother I always thought you were ......"
Shui Ruoshan glanced sideways at King Yin, after three years, it was not you but Helian Shu, and after meeting, she asked, "Why didn't you die?" but she didn't know how to answer.
"This flower on your forehead ......" Helian Shu involuntarily stretched out his hand, and was blocked by Shui Ruoshan when he was about to touch it. The latter never answered a single question.
In the end, under the condition that Helian Shu made his own opinion, the tour of the queen mother and Princess Yin became the company of a large group of people.
In the splendid inner courtyard of the imperial palace, there is a large artificial lake, the whole lake is dug out by the working people little by little, the lake water is brought in from the moat outside the imperial city through the underground, and then drained out from the underground on the other side, the project is so huge, it can be seen that the labor and wealth at that time were lost.
When Princess Yin came with a few people, the queen mother Shen Miaoyan still showed a moment of surprise. She didn't expect that the Ninth Prince, Helian Shu, would come, let alone that King Yin, who always avoided her, would come. King Yin, whom she liked since she was a child, has never looked at her directly over the years, but she has not avoided herself in order to accompany his princess to enjoy the flowers.
Shen Miaoyan couldn't bear it when she thought of this.
She shouted angrily: "Why don't you take off the veil when you see this palace?" Shui Ruoshan seemed to be a soft persimmon at this time, King Yin and his wife, the ninth prince Helian Shu were not good for the queen, she was inexplicably angry, but Shui Ruoshan did not show people in front of her, which was just a good way for her to use the topic to play.
Shui Ruoshan returned without being in a hurry or impatience: "The people's girl has an ugly face, which frightened the queen's noble body. ”
"Open it and let this palace see how ugly it is. ”
Shui Ruoshan stood straight, quietly confronting the queen's eyes.
"Imperial sister-in-law. Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little nervous, the Ninth Prince hurriedly stepped forward to help Shui Ruoshan relieve the siege.
Queen Shen Miaoyan has been pampered since she was a child, and after marrying into the royal seal, she is even more than 10,000 people under one person, Helian Shu has been bullied since she was a child, "What, can't this palace cure you of a big crime of rebellion with this attitude?"
Shui Ruoshan hesitated a little, she didn't want to take off the veil but didn't want to get into trouble with Shen Miaoyan because of this little thing. Just as she raised her hand helplessly, King Yin took a step and blocked her whole person in front of her, he wrapped her hand in the air, and replied: "Imperial sister-in-law, this is a distinguished guest in my house, her face is flawed, and she never shows her true face, so it is not good for her to think that it is difficult for us royal strongmen." ”
The flame of the queen's jealousy is getting stronger and stronger, a good King Yin, not to mention that she dotes on Princess Yin in every way, and now she is still protecting this ugly woman of unknown origin, as if she is the only one, not in the eyes of King Yin, he has never given her the slightest warmth for so many years, Shen Miaoyan's fist nails have been embedded in the palm, these cheap women who are entangled in King Yin's side should die.
One day she was going to send them all to hell, and she was going to leave Helian Jing alone with her.
Shui Ruoshan was shrouded in the shadow of King Yin's back, she cautiously raised her head and stared straight at the back of King Yin's head, she rarely saw it before, King Yin's wide shoulders and straight back were really straight.
Princess Yin stood up at the right time to hold Shen Miaoyan, comforted her and took her on the boat as she walked.
Shui Ruoshan suddenly woke up and withdrew her hand from King Yin's hand, she forgot that there was at least one Princess Yin between her and King Yin.
