Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven Marriage
At the same time, the city of Chang'an in Zhou State was also drizzled.
The palace was still as silent as ever, with occasional patrolling guards and maids in twos and threes walking through it.In the imperial study room flickering by candlelight, Princess Ashina looked at the young emperor who was reading the memorial, and couldn't help feeling a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart.
Speaking of which, she had been by his side for quite a while.However, over the years, she has become more and more incomprehensible to this nominal husband.What kind of king is this?He has all the advantages that a king should have, but almost none of the bad habits that a king has.No extravagance, no enjoyment, no lust.So far, his harem has only a mere four or five people.
For some reason, the appearance of the boy who gave her the umbrella in memory has gradually become blurred with the passage of time, but what is becoming clearer and clearer is the familiar face in front of her.
Sometimes, she also asks herself, what she wants most now—is it still freedom?
"Ayun, do you miss your hometown?" The emperor suddenly put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked.
She quickly pulled herself back from that ambiguous mood, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine naturally misses her hometown."
"By the way, you haven't been back for several years," the emperor said with a faint smile on his lips, "Why don't I accompany you back to Turkic at the beginning of next spring?"
She was taken aback, but she calmed down quickly. The emperor would never say such things for no reason. He must have had other more important purposes when he said that, so she bent her lips, "The emperor has something important to do." Do you want to discuss with the concubine's elder brother personally?"
A look of admiration flashed across the emperor's eyes, "As expected, you are a Turkic princess. I really want to go there in person this time, and discuss with your brother about the next year's attack. We have made sufficient preparations in the past few years. So, this time, I don’t want to make the same mistakes again.”
"But your majesty, now there are Hu Luguang and King Lanling in Qi, and it is not an easy task to win." She noticed that when she said these two names, the emperor's expression seemed a little strange.
"The two of them are indeed my Great Zhou's great enemies, but we can't give up Qi State's attack just because of this." The emperor looked at her, "As long as you are human, you will have weaknesses. We will definitely find a way to defeat them." flaw."
Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but think, do you have any weaknesses, Your Majesty?While thinking about it, this sentence just blurted out like this.
"Ah, Your Majesty, the concubine just made a slip of the tongue..." She hurriedly explained.
The emperor was not annoyed, but a little surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "I am also a human being, so naturally I have weaknesses." He paused, "In order to better consolidate the alliance, I want to send my seventh sister, Princess Qinghe betrothed to your brother."
She raised her eyes in surprise, "Then this trip is also for this marriage?"
"That's right, although I married you, I still feel that this alliance is not strong enough, so..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face.
"Your majesty, do you want to call the imperial doctor?" Seeing his expression, she knew that the old wound on the emperor's shoulder had been repeated. This wound seemed to be injured by the legendary King Lanling three years ago. The rainy weather will torture the emperor and make him miserable.
"No need." The emperor said in a low voice, looking at his wound with a complicated expression.There are many kinds of tenderness in his eyes, forbearing lovesickness and layers of love are entangled together, too thick to dissolve.
But then, the next moment, his eyes became cold and ruthless.
That person is the person he misses the most and also his greatest enemy.
"Ayun, you will write a book tomorrow and say that I will accompany you to Turkic to visit relatives."
Summer is the most beautiful season on the grassland. In this season, Chang Gong gallops on the grassland almost every morning. The feeling of galloping against the wind makes her feel extremely relaxed and relieved, as if she has also turned into an eagle soaring in the blue sky, as if Completely contained in the agitation of life, the huge, boundless world suddenly makes people extremely small. She is free like this!Is not bound by anything! After running for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly reined in the reins and stopped.On the grassland in summer, you can often see such a breathtaking flower scene. The dew-covered flowers bloom from her feet to the hillside where the sun rises not far away, red, yellow, white, blue, pink. , purple...the colors of flowers are countless; one flower, one bunch, one branch, one cluster, budding, blooming...the shapes of flowers are countless. Under the tree on the hillside, she saw a familiar figure. The handsome man was leaning against the tree, holding a volume of books in his hands, his long eyelashes cast shadows on his fair face, and he was casually reading the words in the book.The morning breeze blew his hair, and in the silence, the corners of his light-colored lips raised slightly, and his elegant and unparalleled smile carried a trace of alienation. That kind of smile was as loose as light smoke, as clear as a mountain spring, but And as elusive as floating clouds. "Hanga!" She smiled and waved at him. The moment he looked up and saw her, his smile changed. It was a pure and joyful smile, a smile that really belonged to him. Chang Gong raised his horsewhip and rushed up the hillside. He couldn't hold back for a while, and almost hit Heng Jia's body. "Look at you, why are you always so rough." Heng Jia sighed helplessly, rubbing the corners of his eyebrows. "If you were hit so easily, you wouldn't be called a fox." Chang Gong narrowed his eyes and glanced at him without regret.Hengjia's Turkic horse named Heixue was obviously very happy to see Feiguang, and kept hooving there. Chang Gong smiled, and simply tied Feiguang beside Heixue, so that They can play together. Heng Jia suddenly showed a hypocritical smile she was familiar with, "Chang Gong, do you know what you look like riding a horse?" Chang Gong looked at him very vigilantly, every time the fox showed such a smile, it always represented a dangerous signal. But curiosity still prompted her to ask again, "Like—what?" "Of course it looks like an eagle flying in the sky." Heng Jia said with a smile. Eh?Is the sun coming out from the west today?Heng Jia didn't hurt her?Although Chang Gong was a little puzzled, he still enjoyed Heng Jia's words, so he didn't think about it any more, and said with a soft snort, "You still have vision." "However, there are many kinds of eagles." Heng Jia's eyes flickered with a narrow smile, "Chang Gong is more like the one called—vulture." "Ah, fox, you are looking for death!" Chang Gong just punched it out, but Heng Jia, who had been on guard for a long time, dodged it all at once. "Why are you angry? Vultures are also eagles, and they are even more majestic." Heng Jia added without hesitation. Chang Gong was about to kick him away, when he suddenly turned his eyes and noticed something strange, pointed at Feiguang and Heixue, and asked in surprise, "Hang Jia, what are they doing?" Heng Jia turned his head and took a look, a suspicious blush suddenly appeared on his face, and his voice seemed a little strange, "It's nothing, don't make a fuss." "But, my flying light is pressing on your Hei Xue, shaking and shaking, very heavy!" Chang Gong stood up with an inexplicable expression, "I'm going to pull them away!" "Sit down for me!" As soon as she got up, Heng Jia quickly pulled her back to the original place and sat down beside him. "What's wrong! My Feiguang is bullying your Heixue!" Chang Gong gave him a dissatisfied look, and planned to stand up and pull them away. "You idiot! That's not bullying!" "This isn't bullying, what is it?" "Idiot, this is—" Heng Jia felt a sense of powerless frustration, how should he explain to this stupid guy..."After they do this, there will be—Little Feiguang and Little Heixue, Do you understand it?" "Ah?" Chang Gong opened his eyes wide, and suddenly reacted, his face flushed immediately, "It, they..." It's terrible, she's heard of this before, but it's the first time she saw it with her own eyes, and it's even worse Surprisingly, Hanga is here too! "But that look is so strange..." Although she felt very embarrassed, she couldn't help turning her head to look there curiously. Before she saw anything more, she was pulled over by a force. "Girls, don't look at that." He stretched out his hand and pulled her face away, not letting her look at it again. Looking at her flushed cheeks due to shyness, his mind was in a trance for a moment. His fingertips slid across her smooth chin, and the touch full of water was gradually transmitted from the tip of his index finger to the nerves. In the eyes, in the heart... the calmness seemed to be shattered, and Yunyun Liuying leaned out. His body slowly became hot and dry, and the blood seemed to flow to a certain point, where a sweet and slightly swollen feeling kept accumulating.He withdrew his hand in astonishment—his perception as a man told him clearly: He actually had a reaction!At the wrong time, in the wrong place, and in front of the wrong people!What's more terrible is that in this extremely ambiguous feeling, it seems that there is something indescribable that is gently stirring his heart, lingering repeatedly... How did Chang Gong know about this mess, he just felt that he was very strange now. "Chang Gong..." He called her name softly, his deep voice was like fingers gliding over the tight strings, with a bit of depression, as if he wanted to pour out something, but hesitated. "Heng Jia, I know what you're thinking." What Chang Gong said surprised him even more, and he couldn't help but start to panic even though he was always calm, did she know?She knew—what was he thinking? Once this layer of paper is pierced, won't even be a good brother? "You—know?" He asked tentatively. "Of course," she smiled and blinked, "Hang Jia, don't worry, I will make Feiguang responsible for your Heixue, and I won't let it find another mares from now on!" "Ah—" the corner of Heng Jia's mouth twitched, "Is that what you're talking about—this?" "Well, fox, you will definitely not suffer, right, so I guess you must be thinking about this, don't worry, your Hei Xue will not suffer!" Heng Jia lowered his head, and after a few seconds, his shoulders twitched violently, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud. "Chang, Chang Gong, you guessed right!" "Since you think so, you should say it earlier, don't show that kind of expression that seems to be stimulated..." "Stimulated expression? Hehe..." The wind blows the trees, and the tiny spots of light cast in the sun flicker, and everything is gentle and peaceful under the light of the light.The light drifted away, and scattered light and shadows on them, twists and turns, fluttering, like a dream.
In the Turks on the other side of the prairie, Ah Jing also received a letter from the ally Zhou. "Brother, what did you say in the letter?" Seeing a strange smile on his face, Lin Xiaoxian guessed that there might be some mystery in it. "In the spring of next year, Ayun will return to Turkic to visit relatives." Ajing narrowed his blue eyes, "My brother-in-law will also come back, and he plans to marry his sister, Princess Qinghe, to me. It seems that Yu Wenyong You are still worried about our alliance." "Brother, will you marry that princess?" Lin Xiaoxian suppressed the slightly startled expression just now, "But regardless of whether you like it or not, Yu Wenyong will come here in person, it seems that there is no excuse." "I didn't intend to shirk it at first, woman, what's the difference between marrying one and ten? As long as you can have children." Ah Jing said disapprovingly, "Since he wants to marry the princess to me, I don't mind marrying him. Kiss more. But he came here this time, besides the marriage, he probably wants to discuss with me about attacking Qi again." "Since the fiasco in Luoyang, Yu Wenyong has been recharging his energy, and it's about time." Lin Xiaoxian raised his head, "One Lanling King and one Huluguang are the two that prevent us from conquering Qi. Mountain." There was a complicated look in Ah Jing's eyes, as if he was recalling something, "When I rescued him in the Chang'an fire, who would have thought that he would become such an outstanding person now." Lin Xiaoxian seemed to be touched by her heartstrings, and said in a low voice, "At the beginning, I didn't expect that in the eyes of my sister, I was not as important as that guy. Because of him, she didn't even recognize me as a real brother. Not only did she not recognize her, she also openly against us." Ah Jing shook his head, "Xiaoxian, you can't blame her. After all, she is also from Qi, especially after being by Gao Changgong's side for so many years, it is not surprising that she did this. Although she also killed many Turkic people, I On the contrary, I admire her. We are all for our own country, and she is not wrong." Xiaoxian's expression changed slightly, "I abandoned that country on the night that dog emperor burned so many of our brothers to death." Ah Jing reached out and patted his shoulder, but didn't speak. "Brother, you don't actually have the intention of taking over Qi, do you?" Xiaoxian stared at him. "Others think that you are full of ambition, expanding your territory everywhere, but I know that you don't actually like these things." Ah Jing nodded without hesitation, "You still know me best. I am indeed not interested, but this is the way of the world. If you don't invade others, they will invade you. So I have been on the Eastern Expedition Xifa, because I know that as long as I take more, it will be harder for others to take anything away from me." Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that he is never willing to pay a high price in exchange for what he wants. Therefore, on the battlefield of attacking Qi, if the situation is not good, he will withdraw quickly. He was not such a person before, but many things will change over time, so that he can become more suitable for this era. However, he has his own principles, as long as he does not touch this principle, he will continue to do so. In this troubled world, everyone lives in a different way.But, everyone survives -- it's tough.
