Chapter 2 Luodu Palace
King Ping is the mother and brother of the emperor of the State of Li. He is the uncle of Zhou Huaiyi. He was favored by the emperor because he broke his arm with a sword on the battlefield. His title "ping" means to be on an equal footing with the emperor, which can be seen in the royal status of the State of Li. In this way, Zhou Huaiyi should take her forward to salute, but he just looked at her from a distance with dark eyes. After a long time, King Ping and Princess Heping disappeared at the gate of the city gate before she pressed her eyes and strode away without saying a word, as if she had completely forgotten the existence of Wei Fuyan.
And if Wei Fuyan is right, Zhou Yuanzhi, the second Marquis, is the eldest son of King Ping!
Wei Fuyan was thinking about this matter all the way, so that the scenery of the whole street was not interested. Only one corner suddenly hit the window of her carriage. Wei Fuyan raised the curtain and looked out and saw the mighty Tuo Wang and a shrewd woman raising their glasses together on the second floor of an inn. Smile at her. King Tuo still looks domineering, and his eyebrows are especially decisive and fierce. Wei Fuyan has just seen Princess Ping's beautiful posture. Now when she looks at the woman next to King Tuo, she only feels that she is just ordinary. She has a very thin body that looks more like a Jiangnan woman. There are two deep dimples on a melon seed small face. Her eyebrows and eye color are light from a distance, but her eyes are full of fine. Ming is quick-witted, and it seems to be the concubine of King Tuo. It's just that the woman didn't wait for King Tuo, but took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass, and then looked at her with an unfathomable smile.
Does this mean that this is the beginning of a good play? Everything was as Wang Tuo wished. Zhou Huaiyi brought her to Luo to fight. The excitement between King Tuo's face could not be hidden at all. Zhou Huaiyi was right. This person was born belligerent, and he was probably happy in the battlefield or the court.
I didn't expect that the first old man she saw after coming to Luodu was the Tuo King who was about to become an opponent! Although she and Zhou Huaiyi may not be together, they must lose together, so Wei Fuyan has no choice but to fight against King Tuo with Zhou Huaiyi.
Thinking of this, Wei Fuyan changed into an infinitely flamboyant smile to face King Tuo and the dimple woman, and then clearly saw King Tuo slightly stunned, but the dimple woman smiled more happily.
Wei Fuyan put down the curtain and immediately became more curious about the dimple woman.
The carriage continued to walk forward slowly, and gradually the sound of Dada's horseshoe came, and then the carriage suddenly stopped, and Wei Fuyan stabilized with the help of his master.
"Brother, brother! You're back!"
When Wei Fuyan got off the carriage, he saw a young man in gorgeous clothes suddenly rushing into Zhou Huaiyi's arms, who had just disared and had not yet stood firm. Zhou Huaiyi stammed, and the dark color in his eyes gradually faded away.
"It's Yi'er's mother and brother, the ninth prince Zhou Shengqian." Master whispered in her ear.
Zhou Shengqian's 17- or 18-year-old appearance, a face that looks like Zhou Huaiyi is simple and cute, and it seems that his nature has always been well protected. Zhou Huaiyi's doting on Zhou Shengqian is almost visible at a glance. He has never been a colorful person, but at this moment, looking at his brother's eyes are clearly gentle. Sure enough, everyone has many faces, showing only the fixed faces in front of a person. During the days when Wei Fuyan was bedridden, she had already felt the tenderness of Zhou Huaiyi, but now she realized how superficial and impure the tenderness she had seen before.
"Yuer, come quickly!" Zhou Shengqian turned his head and blinked his big eyes and shouted, "Come and see my brother!"
Wei Fuyan looked along his eyes and saw half a small head at the corner, but Zhou Shengqian's small head immediately withdrew, as if he was very afraid of this scene.
Zhou Shengqian stared and said, "Yuer, I'm going to be angry!"
The small head in the corner of the wall poked out timidly again, probably because the situation was wrong, so he dashed out. It turned out to be a very beautiful little girl in red. She looked just 15 years old. Zhou Shengqian also had a pair of simple big eyes, but at this moment, she pouted her cherry mouth and looked unwillingly, and her face clearly said "I accept my fate."
"The people's daughter returned to Mingyu and said good morning to His Royal Highness King Huai!" The little girl seemed to be very afraid of Zhou Huaiyi. After pressing on the ground reluctantly, she immediately began to try her best to hide behind Sheng Qian.
Zhou Huaiyi nodded to Yuer and didn't seem to recognize Yuer very much. Brother, my father married me and Yuer! Married on the third day of May!" Sheng Qian narrowed his big eyes and giggled happily. Wei Fuyan clearly saw the little girl named Yuer punching her future husband fiercely behind his back.
Wei Fuyan couldn't help laughing. Yuer immediately sensed it and looked at her up and down with her big black eyes curiously.
Zhou Huaiyi seemed to remember a person like her at this moment. He said, "Smoke, come here."
Wei Fuyan walked over obediently and stood up to look at Sheng Qian and Yuer immediately felt that they were golden boys and girls.
"Is it your sister-in-law?" Sheng Qian shouted affectionately, "Good sister-in-law!"
Yuer seemed to be afraid that Zhou Huaiyi was not afraid of her. She looked at her curiously and saluted, "The people's daughter returned to Mingyu to say goodwilling Princess Huai."
"Explanation," Wei Fuyan smiled, "I also have a nickname named Yuer. Do you also have a piece of jade?"
"Yes, yes!" Yuer was really simple. She immediately pulled off the copper life lock hidden in her clothes and said, "My jade! Do you also have jade?"
It was a long-lived lock that looked quite old. The copper chain was specially matched with a gorgeous purple jade, and Wei Fuyan immediately knew that Yuer must be after the famous family.
"My jade has been put away and I'll show it to you another day." Wei Fuyan said with a smile.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at her faintly and said, "Let's go in and talk about it!" Zhou Huaiyi took the lead in walking in front, and Sheng Qian immediately took Yuer's hand and followed him. She and her master followed.
Whether it is the Huaiwang Mansion in Yanjing or the Huaiwang Mansion in Luodu, Wei Fuyan doesn't like it. This is the feeling of the first time she sees the Huaiwang Mansion.
This Huaiwang Mansion doesn't look as big as Yanjing's, but it has a strong smell of Zhou Huaiyi - it's lonely and doesn't look like a family.
facing the gate is a square flower bed, in which there are several precious flowers and trees, and every flower and grass are exquisitely arranged. A road leads directly to the hall, which looks straightforward. The hall in front of it seems to be a special hospitality. There is a letter of "Zhi Yayong and He", and a group of servants waited in front of the hall to salute them: "Speak to the prince and princess! Please give my peace to the ninth prince! "Give it back to Miss San!"
Seeing that the master was missing, Wei Fuyan turned around puzzledly, but saw that the master had stepped into the room with Zhou Huaiyi.
Zhou Huaiyi and Sheng Qian had something to talk about, so that Qiyun and Hui Nuan took her and the master to the room to rest. Yuer asked to keep up almost without hesitation. Zhou Huaiyi just looked at Yuer and nodded coldly.
Qiyun took them around many lush but over-regulated flowers and trees to a semi-new garden, which looked more like the Wanxi residence where she had lived in Yanjing for three years. There were four bluestone round tables and four bluestone stools next to the garden. There are no flowers and trees in the garden, which looks simple and empty.
I don't know whether this cold place has raised Zhou Huaiyi's cold nature, or Zhou Huaiyi arranged the garden according to his own nature. In short, it is really difficult for Wei Fuyan to fall in love with such a place. When Qiyun came forward and opened the door, Wei Fuyan knew at a glance that this was the place where Zhou Huaiyi usually lived, but it was hard for her to say that she wanted to change it with Yuer.
The pattern in the room is simple, which is similar to He Xinzhai in Yanjing: the middle is empty, with a round table and a few exquisitely carved chairs, a soft couch on the right side through the screen, and a bookshelf on the left side. The bookshelf is separated by a small study that also has no door.
Qiyun was cleaning up. Yuer looked at her curiously and said, "Princess Huai, are you from Chen? Are you the princess Duanyang of Chen?
"Yes! I am." She said.
Yuer didn't go on, but said shyly, "Can I see your jade?"
At that time, Wei Fuyan only saw the purple light between her clothes and talked casually. Seeing that Yuer was really interested, she ordered Qiyun to bring her black wooden box, and then took out the white warm jade still hanging on the silver collar and showed it to Yuer.
"Huh? This piece of jade is similar to the one that Princess Jingyu said!"
Princess Jingyu, the "world's first beauty"? Why did she also come to Li? This is interesting. There are actually two princesses of other countries in the capital of Li at the same time, namely, Princess Duanyang of the State of Chen and Princess Jingyu of Yueguo. I'm afraid you can't avoid this bustle!
It's just that there are too many people I met today. Wei Fuyan has no intention to know another Jingyu princess.
"No, no, it's still different. This pattern is wrong!" Yuer looked at it carefully for a long time and handed it to her and stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry..."
Wei Fuyan was happy that she was innocent and cute. She took the jade and put it into the black wooden box and was about to close it, but Yuer was shocked again and said, "Oh, this machete..."
Wei Fuyan took out the machete given to her by Zhou Huaiyi and asked with a smile, "This one?"
Yu'er said, "We Shengqian also have one!" The emperor gave each prince a defensive blade, and Sheng Qian was a dagger.
No wonder, Wei Fuyan thought that she was given a machete when she met for the first time in the cave that day. She was dedicated to cherishing it, but it was just a gadget that others came to send out casually. Wei Fuyan smiled and shook his head to take the machete out of the black wood box and put it alone.
Yuer suddenly covered her mouth and looked at her timidly when she saw her strange behavior. For a long time, she put down her hand and blinked her eyes and whispered, "I mean...the ninth prince..."
Afraid of this? Wei Fuyan became more and more fond of Yuer's innocence and frankness. She smiled and said, "That's your future husband. What's your favorite name? Just don't shout like that when you go to the palace!"
Yuer said awkwardly, "King Huai doesn't like it. King Huai doesn't like me to be with Sheng Qian very much..."
"Why?" It shouldn't be. Zhou Huaiyi really doesn't like how can they be married so peacefully?
"I'm the granddaughter of the captain, and the empress dowager is my aunt. I heard from my brother that King Huai doesn't want Sheng Qian to marry the daughter of the powerful!"
So it is. I don't want my brother to marry the daughter of a powerful woman to protect her. I'm afraid that Zhou Huaiyi says that Wei Fuyan is also a more troublesome daughter of a powerful woman, right?
Wei Fuyan immediately skipped a figure in white. She smiled and shook her head, thinking that it would be lively to enter the palace tomorrow!
