The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 128 Ji Zizheng is young, with a horse and sable fur

The country of Ba is very poor, and its military strength is extremely weak. Because of the steep terrain and the natural moat of the Shengjiang River, it is able to survive the division of the Kyushu countries.

It took Qin Wan half a day to visit the Ba Kingdom's palace, which is less than one-tenth the size of Yingyang Palace, which is really pitifully small.Fortunately, the climate here is pleasant and the flowers and trees are luxuriant. Coupled with the natural garden art attainments of the King of Ba, the entire palace is arranged like a large botanical garden, with winding paths leading to secluded corners, which is unique.

Perhaps because of the limited financial resources of the royal family, King Ba has no interest in marrying a concubine. He only has one wife, Queen Jiang, and the two of them have only one daughter, which is Qin Wan's current identity-Ba Guo Princess Qin Wanwan.

King Ba had no sons, and his national strength was declining day by day. There were only a dozen civil and military men in the Manchu dynasty.

At night, Ba Wang and the Queen lay on the bed and chatted.

Raking his ears, Bawang said, "Queen, I have an idea and I want to ask you what it means. Of course, don't be angry, it's just an idea."

The queen squinted at him: "What are you paying attention to?"

Ba Wang smiled and said: "You said that we are so cute, Wanwan. If we marry her to King Ning of Beirong, will our Ba Kingdom be able to hug Rong Kingdom's thigh, and we won't be afraid that Shu Kingdom will always bully us in the future."

When the queen heard this, she pondered over it and said happily, "Oh, your majesty, why are you so smart! I heard that King Beirong Ning is handsome and mighty yet unmarried. If he can take a fancy to our family, Wanwan, then we will be in the Kingdom of Shu." You can straighten your waist in front of you. And I also heard that King Ning is very rich, and if we give us more dowry gifts, our treasury may be able to make up for the deficit."

Ba Wang tried his best to nod and said: "Yes, but Beirong is so far away from us, we can't send Wanwan there. If King Ning doesn't like our Wanwan, it would be bad to send them back."

The queen thought that Ba Wang's analysis made sense, and pondered for a while: "Why don't we first ask the painter to paint a portrait of Wan Wan and send it to Beirong, and then attach the letter of credence, saying that we want to marry our daughter to King Ning as a concubine?" , if His Royal Highness King Ning saw the portrait and didn't find our girl, then it doesn't matter, if it does, then everyone will be happy, how about it?"

King Ba said: "My queen, you are still smart. Think about it, if I can become the father-in-law of King Ning of Beirong, I will have to swear in front of King Shu to see if he dares to look down on me." We are Pakistan."

When King Ba and the Queen were discussing how to "sell their daughter".Qin Wan was happily sitting in the snack bar by the Shengjiang River, eating Chaoshou and looking at the bright moon on the river.

"Oh, relaxed and comfortable, this is called life." Qin Wan drank the last sip of chicken soup in the bowl, looked at the trickling water of the Shengjiang River, and felt poetic in his heart, "How can I recite that song "Moon Song of Emei Mountain" by Li Bai?" What? Emei Mountain is half a month in autumn, and its shadow enters the Pingqiang River. At night, the clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges, and I miss you and go to Yuzhou. This place has really been a romantic place since ancient times."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan put down the money for the boss and left with a smile.

"Your Highness, it's really unusual for you to return the money after eating the bowl." The boss smiled and put the money back into Qin Wan's hands.

Qin Wan said unexpectedly: "It's not good if you don't pay for meals."

The boss smiled and said, "Oh, that's not a bad thing, you can come whenever you want."

Qin Wan never liked to owe favors, so she took down the dish brand that the boss had hung on the top of the front desk with "Chicken Soup Chaoshou" written on it, and took a brush from the boss's accounting desk, and wrote "Recommended every night" on the sign Four words, and then hung the sign back.

The boss saw it, and he was very happy: "Oh, princess, you have a good idea. In the future, whoever comes to our restaurant in Jiangzhou for dinner, I can tell them that this is your handwriting."

Speaking of which, the boss smiled and took two pieces of glutinous rice cakes, wrapped them and stuffed them into Qin Wan's hands.

After receiving the glutinous rice cakes given by the boss, Qin Wan bounced around and continued to wander around. She looked here and there to buy and buy, and after eating a stomach full of snacks, she started to walk towards the palace with big and small bags of food.

"The law and order in Ba Kingdom is really good," Qin Wan said with emotion. "It's the middle of the night, and the night market is still so lively. As a princess, I don't need to bring guards when I go out. I really can't be more free."

Walking under the evergreen and luxuriant jute tree, Qin Wan breathed the breeze from the river, hummed randomly, and walked with ease and joy.

But suddenly there was a commotion ahead, and Qin Wan instinctively looked up to see a black-clothed masked boy in the alley ahead who was being chased by three big dogs, and they were coming towards her.

Hearing the three mad dogs barking, Qin Wan was too shocked to move.

The masked boy ran up to Qin Wan, and before she could react, he grabbed her hand and shouted loudly, "Why are you in a daze! Run!"

Then, Qin Wan was inexplicably dragged by the masked boy and ran all the way, avoiding the three mad dogs behind him. They ran to a huge yellow jue tree, and the boy lifted Qin Wan onto the tree without saying a word, and he himself He climbed up neatly.

The three dogs barked under the tree for a long time, but they didn't see the two of them coming down, so they left panting.

Qin Wan looked at the masked boy in bewilderment: "You are a good man, you are being chased by dogs, why are you arresting me?"

The young man looked at Qin Wan with bright eyes, pulled off the mask with a "swish", and showed a bright smile: "I haven't seen you in five or six years, you won't forget me, right? Your Royal Highness."

Qin Wan was stunned and shook her head in doubt.

The boy was a little disappointed: "I'm Ji Yan, remember?"

Qin Wan told the truth: "I fell from a tree and hit my head before, and I forgot everything before."

"Ah? How could this be?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Ji Yan's eyes, but the disappointment flashed away, and then turned into a hearty smile, "It's okay, we will get to know each other again if you forget it. Now you remember my name That’s enough, my name is Ji Yan, Ji of seasons, Yan of words.”

"Oh." Qin Wan nodded in bewilderment.

"It's so late, princess, why are you still outside the palace? I'll take you back." Seeing the dogs go far away, Ji Yan first jumped off the jujube tree, then turned around and stretched out his arms, "Jump down, I'll follow you. "

Qin Wan frowned: "No, I can come down by myself."

Ji Yan didn't care about Qin Wan's refusal, stepped aside and said: "Then you come down and be careful, I will protect you by the side."

Qin Wan jumped off the tree and asked Xiang Jiyan, "Why are you being chased by dogs?"

"I just went to Li Yuanwai's house to steal something. I didn't expect his house to have three dogs. No, I was chased out." Ji Yan said with a nonchalant smile.

"Are you a thief?" Qin Wan was shocked.

Ji Yan shook his head, pinched his waist and puffed his chest proudly: "The thief is too low-level, now I am an upright grand thief."

Qin Wan didn't understand. A grand rogue is a thief after all. How thick-skinned this man is, he even used "upright" to describe himself.

"Let's go, it's not safe at night, let me escort the princess back to the palace. Give me what you're holding, and I'll carry it for you." Ji Yan took the bags of food from Qin Wan's hand.

He flipped those snack packages, laughed at her with a smile on his face, and said, "Ha, you don't throw away these foods when the dog chases you. You really haven't changed a bit in these years."

"Hehe, is that so..." Qin Wan responded with some embarrassment.

Qin Wan felt that she was not very good at getting along with young people, and she felt a little at a loss in the face of this overwhelming feeling of youth.

But in this world, who can refuse the escort of a handsome young man?

So on the river under the bright moon, in front of the Huamao Jue tree, Qin Wan followed Ji Yan on the way back to the palace, all the way Ji Yan chatted with her familiarly.

Qin Wan looked at the young man. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He had neat and handsome short hair, and his eyes were as bright as stars. When he smiled, he would reveal two canine teeth. It's a noble son who ran out of nowhere, with an easy-to-get-together temperament.

Although Qin Wan didn't think there was any danger in the night in Jiangzhou, Baguo, she didn't think there was anything wrong with having such a handsome young man as a guard.

In this way, all the way back to the Ba King's Palace, the young man waved his hand and said "goodbye". Qin Wan was in a good mood, and walked into the palace gate with her snacks.

When he looked back, Ji Yan had already disappeared into the night of Jiangcheng, where the breeze and moon were shining.
