As night falls, Feixian Palace is illuminated by colorful lights, shining like colored glaze.
The king of Zhongzhou stood outside the hall, looking at the river rushing under his feet.
In the hall, there was a conversation between his wife and children.
"This is so difficult!" The young boy's tone seemed to be coquettish.
"Learn slowly, it won't be difficult once you understand it." The woman's voice was gentle and patient, not at all tough as rumored.
"Concubine Mu, don't these elder brothers understand everything? Wouldn't it be good to let elder brother help you?"
The woman was silent for a moment, and replied: "Yu'er, don't you remember what my concubine told you? Big brother is big brother, and you are you."
"Aren't they all the sons of the concubine?"
"But," the woman said softly, "Brother is not your father's son."
There was a long silence in the hall.
"Okay, I've finished my homework, I'll take a rest early today, and I still have work to do tomorrow."
"Understood, mother concubine..."
After a while, someone approached, and a cloak was draped over his shoulders. The woman said softly, "The night is cool, why don't you wear an extra one?"
Zhongzhou Wang smiled and looked at his wife: "Am I still afraid of the wind?"
Warriors in the Transformation Realm are not limited to everything in the world, so how can they be afraid of the wind
The concubine was startled, and then laughed: "I forgot for a while, and thought you were Yu'er."
The king of Zhongzhou smiled back and held her hand.
The husband and wife looked side by side at the mountains and rivers under their feet.
After a long time, the voice of the king of Zhongzhou came: "Qing'e, I have worked hard for you these years. I live in the palace all the year round, and I have to take care of all government affairs and family affairs. Even Yu'er, I have to teach you personally."
The concubine smiled: "Isn't this exactly what I'm asking for? Does the king feel that he owes me?" There was a hint of girlish playfulness in her voice, which made people smile.
The king of Zhongzhou smiled and put his arms around her shoulders.
After a moment of warmth, he asked, "are you sure about the barbarians?"
Speaking of this topic, the princess's tone became serious: "You know, it's not just a matter of a day or two for us to contact the barbarians. This time they are willing to send people to Zhongzhou, which can basically be used as a signal. I think, as long as There should be a 70% to 80% chance of not making any mistakes."
The king of Zhongzhou nodded, and said again: "This matter is very dangerous, and if it is a hair's breadth away, it will be an abyss. If you are unable to do it, please tell me in time."
"Yes." The princess responded softly.
King Zhongzhou sighed: "Actually, I want to stop you more, but I know that you have been planning for more than 20 years, and you will definitely not give up."
The princess was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Thank you, Wang, for your understanding."
As the night grew darker, Feixian Palace became quieter and quieter, standing on the edge of the cliff, with the wind whistling past its ears.
"Xing'er, what are you going to do?"
The princess raised her head and looked at her husband's face.
The king of Zhongzhou looked as usual: "Is his illness serious again?"
The princess sat down on the railing sadly: "You can see it."
"So, you are in a hurry to marry him?" King Zhongzhou shook his head, "Qing'e, he has always been thoughtful and very wary of outsiders. It is not a good thing for him that you suddenly put someone beside him."
"But if he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will collapse sooner or later." The princess said with a sad face, "He has a family and a child, and he has a concern in his heart, maybe it won't be like this..."
"It's not bad to think so." King Zhongzhou said slowly, "What did he say?"
"What else can I say?" The princess smiled wryly, "Of course I don't want to."
"then you… "
"I don't want to force him either." The concubine said, "but his current situation is really bad. He has locked himself up for at least half a year in a year. I'm worried that he won't come out at the Qilin meeting."
King Zhongzhou was silent.
"It's my fault. I was not by his side since I was a child, and let him be ridiculed. Master died because of him, and he has been carrying heavy shackles in his heart. If I knew this, I shouldn't have forced him to succeed Lianzhen." King Xing."
"You..." the king of Zhongzhou said slowly, "You also have a bit of resentment against me, right? Because you don't like him, you won't let you see him more."
The princess was silent at first, then shook her head: "I can't blame others, it's in my heart that he is not important enough."
There are thousands of mistakes, and I only blame myself for making this choice at the beginning, and there is no room for regret.
"Where's that girl?" Probably because the atmosphere was too heavy, King Zhongzhou started another topic and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say that Ling Wuxia is the only one? Why did you fall in love with her again?"
The concubine also laughed: "At first, I just thought of her as a candidate. I didn't want to hear something about it two days ago."
"Oh?"
"That child Jiayan heard that the wind is rain, so she ran to make things difficult for her. Xing'er happened to leave my place, so she went over in person."
"Then?"
The smile on Wang Hao's face became gentle: "He told the girl himself, this might not be a good choice." She looked at her husband, "You know, Xing'er is not a person who is willing to give in. This shows that in his In my heart, this is an object he can accept.”
King Zhongzhou nodded: "This is more important than any other conditions."
"That's right!" Princess Wang laughed, "Now, even if Ling Wuxia comes, it's not the best choice."
"But," the King of Zhongzhou frowned slightly, "The little girl doesn't seem to agree, does she? I heard that Jiayan ran to make a bet with her again, and she agreed directly."
Speaking of this, the princess was worried again: "Isn't it? Marriage is not enmity, especially in Xing'er's situation, we can't force her."
King Zhongzhou held her hand: "Don't worry, there is still time."
…
In the other part of the palace, the dim candlelight reflected Xie Lianzhen's clear face.
His expression at this moment is quite different from that of others, his eyes are dim and his face is expressionless. Holding a jade pendant in his hand, he rubbed it slowly.
The door was pushed open, and a young man about his age walked in: "My lord."
The young man stopped in front of him, cupped his fists and said, "The princess sent someone to the barbarian side. Looking at his back, it should be Ding Lingshi."
Xie Lianzhen's caressing movement stopped, and after a while, she said slowly: "Ding Qingqing goes out in person, she really takes it seriously!"
His tone was light and slow, revealing a bone-chilling chill.
"Young master..."
Xie Lianzhen raised his hand: "Okay, don't stare at me anymore, this matter ends here."
"Yes."
After a pause, he asked again, "Where is the princess?"
The young man reported: "The concubine has not been out of the palace, and except for Ding Lingshi and Xiahou Lingshi, she has not seen anyone else."
"She didn't send anyone to Jiuyao Palace?"
"No."
Xie Lianzhen didn't speak again, the candlelight shone on his face, casting a layer of gloom.
The young man glanced at him, and couldn't help but said, "My lord, are you really missing the county lord?"
"No." He said simply and neatly.
"But the magistrate refused to leave..."
Xie Lianzhen sneered: "Everyone says I'm sick, but I think she's sicker than me! Outsiders are not allowed to approach me, and I'm not allowed to have a word with others. Does she treat me as her personal property? Hold on to it, I'm afraid King Yijun will be the first one to settle accounts with me!"
The youth dared not speak any more.
Xie Lianzhen looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and said in a tone of deep boredom, "The entanglement in this world is really boring."
