Wings and swallows dance all over the sky 2
Before the banquet, the emperor symbolically said a few words with his sons and daughters-in-law, and then introduced the southern barbarian envoys. The southern barbarian envoy got up and saluted the emperor. At this time, I saw clearly their clothes, with plackets, broad-footed trousers, and some complicated patterns embroidered in the corners of their clothes. Dressing up like this, I felt quite familiar. I was about to ask Wei Zhaohua in a low voice, but he shook my hand vigorously.
I looked sideways in surprise, but I saw him staring at the back of the southern barbarian messenger in front of me with a serious face. I followed his eyes and suddenly realized that when I first met Wei Zhaohua, he was hunted down by dozens of alien warriors, and those warriors were the southern barbarians.
"Your Highness." I gently shook his hand back and motioned him not to be angry.
"I'm fine." Wei Zhaohua loosened his tight body and reluctantly squeezed out a smile at me.
"The southern barbarians came from afar to marry our dynasty to enhance the friendship between the two states." The emperor's slightly smiling voice floated into my ears. I looked up and saw the emperor looking at his sons with a pleasant face. Then he said, "I decided to marry the southern barbarian princess and the fourteenth prince as the imperial concubine, and the fourteenth prince would be the king of Zhengxian."
Before the emperor finished speaking, the fourteenth prince got up, clenched his fists and shouted, "Father!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Xian'er, what's your objection?"
"Children... Children" The fourteenth prince frowned and couldn't speak.
"Fourteen." Wei Zhaohua raised his hand and gently pulled the clothes of the fourteenth prince to prevent him from hitting the emperor at this time.
"Thank you for your grace." The fourteenth prince knelt down in front of the case, his head was so low that he could hardly see his face.
The emperor looked at the fourteenth prince's submission, with a proud smile on his face. He grabbed the jade concubine's hand and began to rub it unconsciously. His posture was really unpleasant.
The beauty of the jade concubine did not fluctuate at all, just like a statue. I looked at her for a moment and lowered my head to look at the evil green jade on my wrist. Unexpectedly, the evil green jade did not respond at all, and the green color was as usual.
My heart tightened for no reason. Is there something wrong with my judgment? Is there no evil in this palace? Everything happened before was just a coincidence?
I looked at Wei Zhaohua doubtfully. He was looking at the fourteenth prince for a moment, and the fourteenth prince clenched his fist and almost burst his blue veins.
I pressed Wei Zhaohua's hand and wanted him to persuade the fourteenth prince, but I was interrupted by the sound of bamboo in the hall. Ten dancers with very cool dresses entered from outside the hall. I simply let go of Wei Zhaohua, cling to the wine glass, and appreciating the graceful posture of the dancer.
"What's the matter?" Wei Zhaohua ignored the exquisite dancers in front of him and asked in a low voice.
I opened the corners of my mouth and smiled: "It's all right. I want to say that your dancer's appearance is not bad."
"Why is there no formal shape at this time?" Wei Zhaohua frowned and looked at me unhappily.
"If it comes, it will be safe. Why does the prince bother to think about a lot of trivial things?"
"I want you to go to the palace today, not just..."
"Your Highness." I looked at Wei Zhaohua anxiously, picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, and blocked his words in his mouth.
Wei Zhaohua bit the chicken and looked at me helplessly. I smiled indifferently and turned around to enjoy the dancing.
The palace banquet of nearly an hour and a half passed by the crowd. When the emperor left, he was very tired, and his body was hollowed out by years of wine.
The fourteenth prince took me and Wei Zhaohua to the palace gate all the way. The three of them were speechless all the way. The fourteenth prince's face was full of melancholy. Wei Zhaohua sighed again and again. It could be seen that he was very worried about this brother.
In front of the carriage at the gate of the palace, I stood in front of the fourteenth prince and smiled and said, "Fourteenth brother, if you have free time every day, you can come to your home. My sister-in-law will cook osmanthus cake for you."
Under the dim light, I faintly saw a slightly surprised expression on the face of the fourteenth prince, as if the way he spoke to me was unacceptable for a moment.
Seeing this, Wei Zhaohua hurried out to make up the situation: "Fourteen, you have to come to the house in two days. The sixth brother happens to have something to tell you."
The fourteenth prince nodded sadly. After a long silence, he looked up at me and said, "Brother-in-law, it's really a blessing for my sixth brother to marry you."
I took the big hat of the fourteenth prince on my head with a smile, but I was a little puzzled. When he met me for the first time, how did he realize that it was a gratifying thing for Wei Zhaohua to marry me? However, this idea is only a circle in my mind. How can I guess how others think? If I think about trivial things for no reason, I will really fall into the mortal world.
Back to Ruiwang Mansion, Wei Zhaohua never mentioned the ** words such as Zhao Qing and Yingyuan, and led me straight back to Qinxueyuan, that is, the courtyard where he and I lived.
When they arrived in the room, Zhan Cui and Zhan Yan had been on the side for a long time. There were three stacks of snacks and a pot of hot tea on the table. The charcoal in the stove was burning, and the room was warm.
"Go down." Wei Zhaohua untied his cloak and handed it over to Zhan Yan's hand, with no expression.
"Yes, my lord."
The door was gently closed, and I sat on the side of Wei Zhaohua with hot tea, warming my cool hands with a cup. The climate in early spring is still extremely cold at night. Although I have been cold-tolerant since I was a child, my hands and feet are cold after a long time. Even if I have true qi to protect my body, it doesn't work. I don't know if it's because of the body is cold.
"What can I find in the palace today?" Wei Zhaohua went straight to the point and didn't say much nonsense.
"No discovery, it's peaceful and peaceful." I raised my eyebrows and looked at him. As I wished, I observed that there was a flat gully between his eyebrows.
"In this way, isn't it true that all the speculations are not true, and the lives of the hundred children can't be saved?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There is still a turning point in this matter."
"What is the turnaround?"
"Yuechen, let's ask the prince, what is the most difficult thing at present?"
"Save the lives of those 100 children."
"That's it. The strange things can be investigated later, but the lives of the children are imminent. I have a way to cure the emperor's illness and prolong his life. I don't know if the prince can make the emperor give up the method of skinning and digging the hearts of young children, and adopt our prescription?
Wei Zhaohua pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and finally nodded slightly and said, "I'll take care of the matter of persuading my father. Just grab all the medicine on the prescription."
I lowered my head and drank tea. There was a burst of joy in my heart. Yuechun, Yuechun, you usually regard as a precious elixir. This time I will take it to honor the old emperor.
I talked with Wei Zhaohua almost late at night. I couldn't help but have a pile of eyelids, so I moved to ** and was about to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, I was held in my arms by Wei Zhaohua.
"Yuechen, as my wife, have you left something unfinished?" Wei Zhaohua's voice was quite malicious. I sighed in my heart that this day came after all.
