Chapter 52 Farewell Gift
"Your Majesty, I would like to give you a toast. May the country of Qi continue to live forever."
"Ha ha, Hong Aiqing has a heart."
Qi Che smiled, raised his glass, and drank it happily.
The sky below quietly looked at the man who was drinking. His dark eyes were hard to see, and his eyebrows did not mean stretching.
Luo Lanzi's deep clothes look more noble on Qi Che's body, which is more gorgeous than the previous majesty.
Purple forging is rare and more difficult to wear, because few people can wear purple so enchantingly but not enchanting. And Qi Che, I have to say that he was born suitable for purple, which is difficult for everyone to control. Only he can make it bloom with a noble and warm life that only belongs to him.
It's just such a dazzling man, but he is lonely at this time. No queen, no concubine, no close person.
Seeing that their emperor was always smiling, it was not like the rigidity of the court. They toasted to the emperor in the main throne to celebrate his birthday one after another, and the emperor did not accept it, as if the dragon's heart was very happy.
Sheng Xiao rises, long-sleeved dance, the king and minister are happy, but it is also peaceful.
As you come and go, the atmosphere slowly warms up, and everyone's conversation slowly becomes casual.
"After all, you can only see such extraordinary singing and dancing in the palace."
The minister who had just made a toast sighed, clinging to the glass, looking at the dancers dancing on the stage, and admiring.
"I'm afraid Lord Hong hasn't seen the birthday banquet of the former emperor in the Shiyu Garden." An older minister beside him took a sip of wine and smiled faintly, "Although this dance is good, it is better than that time, hehe, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud."
"Oh?" He looked sideways and his eyes showed curiosity, "I really haven't seen that palace banquet, but I have heard about it. The second lady of the general's family, dressed in red and long sleeves, ambushed the audience on all sides and stunned the audience. Since then, she has become famous all over the world, but I don't know it's true!" His tone was slightly exciting, but he soon felt sad. "But I haven't been lucky enough to see Miss Xi's posture. Unfortunately, it's a pity..."
"I don't know how that lady is now?"
Hearing this, the minister's face condensed, his eyes dimmed, and his words also brought a trace of regret. "There are many statements about Miss Xi. Some people say that she has already married a woman, and some people say that her beauty has passed away and turned into a wisp of fragrant soul. Speaking of which, it's been ten years.
"I heard that," he deliberately lowered his voice, "Miss Xi still has something to do with today's emperor--"
"Shh!"
The older minister quickly motioned him to stop talking, looked at it nervously, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can we talk about such a big matter of losing our heads? The emperor is the son of heaven, and we can't speculate at all. Lord Hong, be careful."
"Lord Li, I've drunk too much. It's nonsense."
The man knew that he had violated the taboo in the palace, so he immediately silenced and looked at the dance, but his chest was still a little undulating.
What they don't know is that their conversation fell into the ears of the man who had not been spoken from the beginning. Tianwen's expression was still faint. He knew what they had just said, even more detail than they knew. I just heard the narration of the woman from other people's mouths, and a strangeness rose in my heart.
They certainly don't know that the woman has come back.
Tianwen thought, and his eyes fell on the silent man again. Qi Che tilted his body slightly in the table, shaking the wine in the glass. The wine reflected the moonlight and cast light and shadow on his face, as if it were covered with a layer of blurred hazy gauze.
At that moment, he felt charming.
He smiled, but it was a very bitter arc. He was alone in the corner, and the astringency at the corners of his mouth seemed to have been expanded countless times.
Looking at his appearance at this time, Tian asked his eyebrows. Did he really make a decision?
While thinking about it, I faintly heard someone shouting at the banquet.
Not only him, but everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger: under the blue and black night sky, a huge octagonal gauze lamp was slowly moving through the royal garden.
"Oh, my God, that light can fly!"
The people on the ground burst out, pointed, and the people were full of people, scrambling to look up.
"Look, there are still words on it, and there are also words!"
Someone exclaimed again, so their eyes once again focused on the bright crazy small regular script reflected by the candlelight in the gauze lamp - facing the sea, spring flowers blooming.
The background of the wordis a vast sea. The sun shines on the sea, which only makes people feel infinitely vast.
The wind moves slightly, the gauze lamp slowly turns, and the words under the seclusion appear one by one:
- When the flowers bloom, they can be folded straight and must be folded. Don't wait for no flowers to fold branches.
- Happy birthday, Qi Che.
Seeing the same name as their emperor, everyone was shocked and did not dare to say anything, but carefully patrolled the emperor's look. Seeing that he was not angry at all, he showed the light but real joy. In addition to great doubts, he was more and more curious about those who dared to call the emperor's name.
However, they didn't think too much, because then there was a loud noise in the sky, and then the whole dark night was reflected like the day!
The fireworks in the sky are blooming colorfully, but it's not only surprising. Looking at the fireworks with the dazzling four big words "Happy Birthday" in the dark night sky, everyone's expressions can no longer be described as surprise.
I have never seen this fireworks that can be made into words. This effect is really shocking!
Happy birthday, four simple words are full of the most sincere blessings.
It seemed that he was infected by the scene, and the ministers tacitly kowtowed to the man who stood quietly and looked up at the night sky.
"Hangt Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."
Long live the mountain, spreading continuously, echoing the bright fireworks in the sky.
Tianwen was by his side, his eyes were shining, and his heart was a little rolling. He thought that he had already learned to calm down over the years. Now that he looks at it, it is not.
He was moved in his heart and deeply condensed that he was a real open-looking man at this moment. I'm afraid he guessed it a long time ago.
He watched him slowly raise his glass of wine, towards the rising gauze lamp, and stopped for a while, as if to say a salutation, as if to say goodbye, and then he drank all the purple wine.
From beginning to end, the arc at the corners of his mouth has not weakened, and there is no sadness between his eyebrows. God knew that this time, he was really relieved and put it down. After a ten-year-long dream, he finally woke up.
Finally understood: It turned out that he had never thought of imprisoning her. He loved her too deeply and truely, loving to success, and so much to let go.
Fortunately, the woman did not choose to destroy him, but let him redeem herself in another way.
Tianwen smiled speechlessly, with a touch of light relief at the corners of his mouth. The whisper disappeared into the darkness. Maybe he can have a good sleep.
The imperial garden is bustling, and the outside of Kyoto is also very hot.
The rising gauze lamps and gorgeous fireworks on the street attracted the crowd to rush to the other end. Hearing the sound of shouting long live over the fireworks, the people also cheered uncontrollablely, and the flow of people gathered in that direction.
No one found that there was a retrograde figure in the bustling crowd.
In the meantime, she just looked back at the high-flying Kongming lantern, heard the sound of the ministers kowtowing and shouting, and looked at the happy smiles on people's faces, which were more and more vividly illuminated by the colored lights. She raised her lips slightly, withdrew her sight, and left without nostalgia, completely hidden in the crowd.
The next day, the emperor who had just celebrated his birthday issued an imperial edict. With the imperial edict, the whole country is happy. It was the emperor who had not had a child so far finally started the draft.
The ministers and the people began to look forward to it. The State of Qi is finally about to welcome a mother.
In the meantime, many unknown things happened.
Emperor Qi's birthday was not a trivial matter, and the State of Chu also sent an envoy to congratulate him. Therefore, in the surprise of that night, the envoy reported the emperor who lived in the court word for word. Presumably, the shock that night brought him was not small.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor, who didn't say a word, lost his temper after listening to the messenger's narration. In the hall, he first knocked over the teacup, and then asked extremely solemnly, "Are you telling the truth?"
It's as harsh as if the messenger only answers "fake" and he will not hesitate to let his blood splash on the spot.
Then something even more dumbfounded happened. The usually deep and restrained emperor ran out of the hall without a image, leaving the early morning minister with big eyes.
Chu Yinhao didn't even have time to change his imperial uniform to rush to the State of Qi. An emperor can do this. Looking at the world, I'm afraid he can't find a second person.
It's just that he doesn't care at all, because he is worried about a more important thing. If it's true, if it's true...
He didn't dare to think about it, but he just rushed to Qi day and night.
When Chu Yinhao arrived, everyone was scared by his dress. He didn't care, but just ran straight to the Daxiong Hall of Qi like a madman.
He suppressed his voice and only asked, "Where is she?" There is an intuition that it's her. It must be her.
Qi Cheping retreated the crowd, led him to the hidden back room, looked at him for a while, and there was a trace of clarity in his eyes. He said quietly, "Let's go."
Chu Yinhao didn't know how he walked back. Obviously, his body was extremely tired, but his spirit had been jumping, and he giggled like a madman all the way.
She's still alive, she's still alive, she's back, she's back!
But then he seemed to suddenly think of something and howled, "Oh, I forgot to ask where the woman died."
It's just that he doesn't know. Even if he asks, Qi Che can't give an answer, because no one knows where she has gone. This is also one of his selfishness.
When the bodyguards of the State of Chu came to pick up their emperor, they saw that he was a little stupid, sometimes frowned and sometimes giggled, which made them panic all the way. They kept guessing that their king was crazy?
I hope it's not what they think...
Of course, the woman who has already left this episode will not know. Where will she be at this time?
