Chapter 219 Meet My Ineffective Brother First

King Rui said calmly, "It's not like getting angry."

Chu Wuhen was puzzled, King Rui said again: "I beat you up."

Chu Wuhen: "..."

Qu Xuedong, who thought King Rui was a good friend before: "..."

King Rui didn't care how everyone looked at him, his eyes fell on Qu Xuedong and Chu Wuhen, he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned to Chu Wuhen and asked, "Excuse me, is the post ready for meals?"

Chu Wuhen nodded: "Meals and hot water are all available, and I will order someone to bring them here."

"It's work."

King Rui was quite satisfied with him, he knew what he meant without asking too many questions, and could make a judgment immediately, saving trouble.

Seeing that King Rui seemed more willing to befriend Chu Wuhen, Qu Xuedong felt uncomfortable, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "The lord will take the lord to look at the room, and the lord will see what is missing or what he wants, just tell the lord, Within the scope of my ability, I will definitely do it for the prince."

King Rui followed him in, and responded perfunctorily, Chu Wuhen followed on the other side, and Cui Jing had no choice but to follow behind.

When they arrived at the courtyard prepared for King Rui, Cui Jing immediately looked at it critically, but the emperor attached great importance to this marriage, and renovated the post house inside and out, and all the things were picked and delivered, and there was basically no fault. Jing could only withdraw his gaze in embarrassment.

Entering the room, the charcoal basin has been set up inside, and the incense is lit, and the warm fragrance blows on the face, making people relax unconsciously.

King Rui's frowning brows were relaxed, and he stood still in the middle of the room. Qu Xuedong observed his words and expressions, and felt that he should be quite satisfied, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the job was done.

Chu Wuhen ordered someone to deliver the meal, and when he came in one step later, King Rui saw him lift his chin slightly, "Does your Majesty have any orders?"

"Your Majesty understands the hard work of the prince, and let the prince rest for a day, take a bath and change clothes before entering the palace to see him tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, King Rui's face became more gentle, "Since that's the case, please ask my lord to thank His Majesty on behalf of the king."

Chu Wuhen cupped his hands: "It's just a little effort."

Qu Xuedong couldn't interrupt again, he forced a smile and asked, "Does the lord have any other orders?"

King Rui paused for a moment, and his expression turned serious, "Really, I don't know where my king's unsatisfied younger brother is now? Can you let him come to see this king?"

Chu Wuhen and Qu Xuedong looked at each other, "The lower officials sent someone to invite King An."

King Rui finally showed a little smile: "Thank you."

……

After leaving the posthouse, no matter what Qu Xuedong chanted, Chu Wuhen got on his horse and raised his hand, "Master Qu returns to the palace to report to His Majesty."

Qu Xuedong looked at him suspiciously: "What about you?"

"I'm going to invite King An."

"That being the case, then I will go ahead."

As if afraid of Chu Wuhen's repentance, Qu Xuedong turned around and got on the sedan chair and went straight to the palace.Chu Wuhen sneered, and rode his horse in another direction.

After receiving the news, King An immediately left for the posthouse. Cui Jing was sent to eat by King Rui, and he sat in his room staring at a table of food in a daze.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up, and saw Gongsunye coming against the light. He was tall and thin, wearing a half mask, completely out of his childhood appearance, and grew into a man of indomitable spirit. My brother is completely different.

King Rui stood up in a daze, staring at him for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing him, Gongsun Ye was also quite emotional, his eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands while suppressing the turbulent emotions: "Gongsun Ye, I have seen Brother Wang."

"Ninth brother..." King Rui's nose was sore, and his voice was nasal when he spoke. He hurried around the table, came over and held his arm to help him up, "Long time no see."

Gongsun Ye raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were moist and hot, "Yes, long time no see."

This "long time", a full 17 years.

After saying this, the two looked at each other for a long time, but neither could say the next sentence.

Jin Yiwei, who was watching from the dark, narrowed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Gongsunye came back to his senses first, and pulled King Rui to sit down at the table, "Brother Wang came from a long distance, don't stand there, let's sit down and talk."

With his back turned to the direction of the door, he blinked slowly, King Rui understood and nodded: "Have you eaten yet? If not, have a drink with me."

"Okay, I'll pour my brother a drink."

The two put aside their respectful names, and their relationship suddenly became much closer.

Gongsun Ye picked up the jug and filled it up for King Rui, and poured himself another glass. King Rui took this time to look him up carefully, "After so many years, I almost didn't recognize you. The one who followed me back then Child, now he has grown so tall."

Gongsun Ye smiled, put down the jug and said, "Compared to elder brother, it's still a bit worse."

"How do you compare with me?" King Rui sighed and said, "I eat and drink well in Zhou Kingdom, but it's really not easy for you to grow up so big under the fence of Dayan."

He raised his wine glass to Gongsun Ye and said, "This glass, my brother respects you, you have suffered."

Gongsun Ye lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass and touched him lightly, the two of them raised their heads and drank it down, Gongsun Ye picked up the wine pot and refilled it.

"For this second cup, I respect you on behalf of the people of the state of Zhou—exchange your 17 years of bearing the burden of humiliation for the state of Zhou to hide its strength and bide its time, and revive the flag. You have contributed a lot."

Gongsunye still didn't speak, just smiled lightly.

"The third cup, I respect you on behalf of my father, he also misses you very much."

King Rui stared at Gongsun Ye's face, and finally saw a little fluctuation on it.

"Father... is he still in good health?"

Gongsun Ye clenched his wine glass tightly, with an unconscious tremor in his tone.

"Father is over half a hundred years old, and his body is not as good as before, but the imperial doctor saw it and said that he can last for a few more years."

King Rui's tone was a bit vicissitudes, "His temper is much better now than when he was young, and he is more nostalgic. He often mentions you, and he is happy when he knows that you are going to get married. This is equivalent to giving him a step. Under the steps, I want to help you fulfill this wish."

Finally, Gongsun Ye couldn't hold it back, his hands trembled violently, the wine in the glass overflowed, spilled on the back of his hand, and fell on the table together with a tear.

"It's my unfilial piety that made my father worry."

King Rui pursed his lips, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then picked up his wine glass and took a big sip, "You want to marry, have you figured it out? It's too late to regret it now."

Gongsunye drank the glass of wine silently. The moment the wine glass fell, his finger slid gently on the table, King Rui narrowed his eyes and watched.

Right, appropriate, it, plan.

King Rui was silent, stared blankly for a moment, picked up the jug himself, and poured the fourth glass of wine. This time, none of them spoke, and when they clinked glasses, there was a tacit understanding.

"Let's not talk about that, didn't His Majesty call you into the palace to have an audience?"

Gongsunye was the first to change the subject.

King Rui shook his head: "Tomorrow."

"According to His Majesty's personality, he will probably hold a grand reception banquet for you, and let you meet your siblings then."

Gongsun Ye laughed as he spoke, with undisguised tenderness in his eyes.
