Chapter 204
"My lord, it would be great if the king of Xiliao could take the initiative to propose a marriage. This matter is a great thing for our two countries!" The queen mother put down the memorial in her hand and looked at her frowning son Jianjun in puzzlement. "En..." Seeing Jun casually watching the wisps of green smoke rising from the Boshan furnace in the hall, his heart was in a mess. "Emperor, are you worried about Lanling?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows clearly. Although this son was not very close to her since childhood, he was still born by her. What was he thinking? Nine to ten. "I can't bear it..." Jian Jun thought of Lan Ling's charming smile, and sighed heavily.The late emperor didn't have too many heirs. Although there were a few princesses, most of them were born to low-level concubines. He only met them a few times at family banquets on major festivals. Ling was very much loved by the first emperor, and he was often brought with him, and only Lan Ling was closest to him.Why did the king of Xiliao choose Lanling?If it was any other princess, he would not hesitate so much. "Emperor!" The Queen Mother interrupted Jianjun's words heavily, and looked at him with piercing eyes: "The way of being a king, everything should put the country first! The emperor and Princess Lanling have a deep brotherhood, and there is inherent regret It's also natural. However, marriage is inevitable, and the matter is of great importance. We cannot refuse the kindness of King Xiliao. Isn't the emperor's son also going to marry the princess? The emperor is like this, not to mention that Lanling is also a member of our royal family. Take up the important task of marriage and let the two countries repair each other forever, so that I can live up to the late emperor's love for her!" "This..." Jian Jun was shocked by the queen mother's words, and the strength of Xiliao is growing day by day, so it is rare for the king of Xiliao to take the initiative It is indeed a beautiful thing to ask for a marriage proposal, but... the Queen Mother looked at her son's face, knowing that her words had an effect, and the son also understood the serious relationship in it, but she was still thinking about the friendship for many years, so she couldn't help but smile lightly, Said softly: "Emperor, the empress mother also knows your difficulties. The empress mother also watched Lan Ling grow up. Now she can't bear to let her marry to that remote place..." Saying, A few tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and he took out a Jinkerchief to wipe them away. The "mother queen" couldn't help but feel a little moved when Jun saw the wet corners of his mother's eyes.The two were on their own minds, and fell silent for a moment.After a long while, Jian Jun looked up at the sky so blue that it looked like a piece of glass, took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly stood up, shaking the golden dragon-pattern silk brocade robe , said loudly: "Mother, don't worry, I will agree to the request of the King of Xiliao tomorrow!"

"My minister has seen the emperor!" The county king approached Bibo Pavilion, and saw the emperor pouring wine alone. "Brother Huang, get up! There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be polite." Jian Jun smiled and said, "Yes!" The county king respectfully agreed, dusted off the hem of his black clothes, and then sat down on the stone bench next to him. "I don't know what's the important thing for the emperor to summon the minister?" The county king looked at the man in front of him. He had a gentle and refined taste, but he had a pair of shrewd and deep eyes, a tall nose bridge, and lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It seems to be contemptuous of everything in the world. It really deserves to be the dragon among men and the charming son of heaven. "I want to drink with you, Brother Emperor." Jian Jun picked up the golden chiseled flower pot and poured wine into the gold inlaid cup. The amber liquid rippling in the pure gold cup with a sweet taste, The chiseled double dragons in the cup seem to be alive, with their teeth and claws open, and the sunlight shining on it reflects a dazzling light.The king of the county looked at the vivid Ssangyong in the wine, his long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his cold face, he picked up the glass and drank it down. "Lanling, she is going to Xiliao to make a kiss soon," Jian Jun said in a low voice.Outside the pavilion, an emerald water bird skimmed across the calm water surface with a "chirp", causing circles of ripples.Lanling?The princess born to the woman who favored the harem?The king of the county tried his best to search for the memory of the girl who was regarded as the jewel in the palm of the first emperor.

The ten-year-old king of the county likes to squat under the old tree and watch those ants busily coming in and out from the roots of the coiled tree. Apart from studying in the study room and practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, he can squat like this until the sky. black.Sometimes he likes to throw the food that the ants have finally found far away as a prank, and then watch them crawl over to pick it up in a panic. Repeating this seems to bring him endless fun.He didn't want to go back to Nangong where the young prince and princess lived. There was nothing there except a group of old nuns who could only say "yes" or "no".He also didn't want to go to the Liufang Palace of his mother and concubine. The concubine mother always sat in front of the window with a blank face, looking at the eaves of the bright yellow auspicious beast in the east, which was the emperor's bedroom, day after day, year after year , Ever since he could remember, the mother concubine has been like this.When he was young, he didn't know why he talked to his concubine, but she always seemed to have never heard of it, and it took a long time to answer a sentence or two, and talking to him was nothing more than "What have you learned? What have you eaten? Let's play!" After a few words, he sank into the sadness he had created again, with a lifeless look on his face that was so peaceful that it was annoying.He hates such a concubine mother, and every time he sees her, he is always annoyed for no reason.Once he accidentally saw Concubine Yugui and her daughter Princess Lanling playing in the imperial garden. Lanling chased her concubine mother with a smile and a cry.Her little face was flushed, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.Concubine Yugui is so beautiful. Although she was running panting and sweating heavily, she still accompanied her daughter. Her exhaustion could not conceal the agility of her bright eyes, like a dewy peony.Sitting in the gazebo next to him, the royal father smiled and looked at the two figures, one big and one small, peeling the fruit with his own hands, his crescent-like eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness that he had never seen before.At that moment, his little heart was full of jealousy, envy and loss.Why did my mother and concubine never accompany me?Why does the emperor never look at me and the concubine mother?His little sky was full of gloom.Looking up at the sky, the clouds in the sky are red like fire, and a large group of evening crows "quack" are returning to their nests.Every day he enjoys the beauty of the dusk alone like this. "Princess! Princess, don't run away, the old slave can't keep up with you!" He frowned when a hurried call came, he didn't expect someone to come to such a clean place. "Come on! Mother Fang, I've caught up with you and I'll give you a meal!" The delicate female voice approached. With a sound of "crash", the flowers and bushes in front of him were pushed away, and a small head with two horns was exposed. The big black and white eyes stared blankly at him who was squatting under the tree. After a long while, Suddenly she giggled, like a flower blooming, "I know you, you are my brother!" The girl came out with a smile, wearing a light green robe, with a string of pearls hanging around her neck, her face was extremely white and tender , seems to be able to drip water, with slender eyebrows, and although she is small, she can see that she must be an outstanding beauty when she grows up. Holding a piece of colorful pastry in her hand, "My name is Lanling!". "Hum..." the king of the county snorted, and continued to look down at the ants. "What are you looking at?" Lan Ling's small head moved up to block the King's sight, and he stared at her helplessly. "Oh, so my brother was looking at the ants!" Lan Ling squatted down as if he had discovered the treasure.A burst of aroma rushed straight to the forehead of the king of the county, his stomach growled, and he stared at the pastry in Lan Ling's hand and swallowed. "Brother, do you want to eat it?" Lanling noticed the abnormality of the king, and smiled sweetly, "Here, this is the lotus leaf osmanthus cake made by my mother and concubine." The king hesitated, but still refused Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, I reached out to take it, took a bite, it was so sweet! "Xixi, it's delicious. My mother and concubine make all kinds of pastries for me every day, and my father also comes to taste them every day!" Lan Ling shook his head and said, "Brother, your mother and concubine often make delicious cakes too. Is it for you?" The bite he just took was suddenly stuck in his throat, and his face flushed red. "Brother, are you alright?" Lan Ling looked nervously at the flushed county king, wanting to reach out to pat him. "Go away!" The king of the county pushed Lan Ling's hand away violently, threw down half a piece of pastry in his hand, and shouted, "Go, don't want you to pity me!" "Brother..." Lan Ling jumped violently The county king was frightened, and stared at him blankly. "I tell you to go!" The king grabbed Lan Ling's hand and took it off. He walked to the flower tree and then let her go, letting her fall to the ground.Lan Ling's arm was red and hot, "Wow!" She cried and got up, gave the county king an aggrieved look, turned and ran out. "Princess, princess, what's the matter with you?" the old mama shouted nervously, and the crying became farther and farther away. "Let's go, let's go, don't come here again!" the king murmured, and sat down under the tree. Suddenly, he found that half of the pastry was covered with ants, like black sesame seeds, and tears welled up. He hugged himself and wept silently... From then on, Lan Ling hid away when he saw him, and he was also slightly alienated.

Lanling was dressed in plain clothes, without a trace of makeup or hairpin, and her black hair was pouring down on her shoulders. She sat there swaying, frowning, her ten fingers were as light as feathers, and the soft sound of the piano lingered in the forest. "Lan Ling, why did the Queen Mother call you there just now?" I asked. "It's not about making peace with Xiliao," Lan Ling said lightly. "Do you like the King of Xiliao?" I didn't ask her if she agreed to the marriage, but asked straightforwardly, "This..." The jade fingers were fixed, the sound of the piano gradually died down, and my face turned red. "What's there to be ashamed of? If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it." I took her hand and looked at her calmly.Lan Ling tilted his head to the side and thought about it seriously before he took out a ruby ​​and amethyst pendant from his bosom, and said in a low voice, "He gave it to me." I took it and looked at it carefully. His hands were also stained red, "It's very expensive!" "Yes, he said it was an heirloom given to his queen by their royal family." Lan Ling was infinitely delicate.That night when he suddenly knelt down on one knee and expressed his love to her, she knew that there would be a day of marriage. What could such a gentle and domineering man not sit on?He even forcibly took her first kiss, which was so irresistible, so hot that the bright stars lost their color, and her delicate red lips still seemed to have his breath left. "Our little girl Chun's heart is moved!" I smiled wickedly, "Sister Yuehua, you are making fun of her!" Lan Ling stomped her feet, her face flushed. "I'm not making fun of you, I'm happy for you!" I looked at her seriously, "You know that in the history of princess marriages, few of them are willing to do so, so their fate is also very bleak. But you fell in love with King Xiliao, although The name is Heqin, and it can be regarded as marrying a good man, so I am relieved." "Sister" Lan Ling leaned her head on my shoulder, hesitating: "But I am so worried, will he only love me? Just like my father Emperor, although I love my mother and concubine very much, there are always other women between them, and they can never belong to each other." I looked at a red flower protruding from the wall and smiled: "So you are worried about this. , I think the King of Xiliao is a reliable person." Lan Ling looked at me, red-eyed, "I'm not just worried about this, I... I can't bear you and Brother Huang, I can't bear to leave here!" I rubbed her tenderly With long hair, there was a burst of sadness in his heart, but he still smiled forcefully: "Fool, the love between brothers and sisters cannot replace the love between husband and wife. One must taste all the love in the world in order to not live a life in vain. You are going to get married when you grow up, and you can't stay with us all the time, right? Besides, your mother and concubine have spirits in the sky, and I must be very happy that you can find a man who truly loves you." "En" Lan Ling nodded, Eye sockets are red.

After reassuring Lan Ling with good words, Fang left Yueyue Palace, heard the whimpering Xiao sound coming through the sound of water, and went looking for the sound, and saw the king of the county standing under the willow tree in a blue satin and flat gold robe, A pole of jasper Xiao in his hand.The tune of the flute is cold and mournful, with twists and turns and moving.In the quiet night, it sounds like weeping and complaining, and the sound of the flute is full of twists and turns, lingering endlessly, like returning to the wind and moon, so beautiful that it is hard to describe.After playing a set of flute tunes, I was already there in a daze, "This tune should be a farewell," the county king whispered while looking at the vermilion gate of the Yaoyue Palace with animal-headed copper nails. "Why doesn't your lord go in?" This man always plays cards unreasonably, even seeing him off is so strange. "If you have this intention, why look at each other with tears in your eyes?" He turned and looked at me with clear eyes. "Yeah, parting is the most hurtful thing." I picked off a willow branch and played with it. "There is a long shed for thousands of miles, and there is no permanent banquet in the world. Who can guard whom forever?" He held Yu Xiao's hand behind his back, smiling sadly, showing his white and neat teeth.I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I couldn't help walking around in front of him, and said with a smile: "Actually, it would be better if the prince smiled more!" Knowing that I was abrupt, I turned around and left in a hurry after speaking.

Looking at the original figure, the king of the county smiled suddenly, even his eyes were full of smiles, his smile was like the most dazzling ray of sunshine in summer, shining the light of the sun, as if in the whole universe, his smile was the most dazzling and attractive Attention.After a while, the smile gradually settled down, like burnt charcoal, the residual warmth gradually disappeared, leaving only a little red shadow.
