Alien love

Chapter 40 The Way of the King

When I walked to Zhuxuan alone, Ling Ye and Wei Feng had already returned, and I smelled the fragrance of the valley that belonged to him just after I entered the door.Wei Feng was dressed in a stern black robe, squatting on the ground with iron chopsticks and fiddled with the charcoal basin.Ling Ye was dressed in a blue robe as clean as the blue sky after snow, and was sitting upright sipping tea.

I smiled and took off the cloak, revealing the green veil skirt on my body, and Ling Ye stared at me with a flash of amazement.

"It smells so fragrant, Wei Feng, what are you doing?" I asked Wei Feng squatting on the ground and the fragrance coming from the charcoal basin.

"The taste of roasted chestnuts. The third master said to roast them first, and let you come back and try something new." Wei Feng said lightly.

At this time Wan'er jumped in from outside the hall with a porcelain plate, and shouted with a smile: "My sister is really lucky, she came back just after the chestnuts were baked."

I smiled and nodded, isn't it? There is delicious food waiting for me when I come back.Ling Ye stretched out his hand and pulled me to sit beside him, and whispered in my ear: "Today is so beautiful!" Hearing this, I found myself blushing.

Wan'er handed the porcelain plate to Wei Feng, and after Wei Feng took it, he took out roasted chestnuts full of golden flesh from the charcoal basin.The fragrance in the hall was overflowing, which made me almost unable to hold back, and I was about to drool.

Wan'er took the porcelain plate and put it on the small table beside me. I couldn't wait to peel one off and taste it, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I immediately retracted it. It was too hot, and I grinned and pressed my fingers on it. on the earlobe.Seeing my embarrassed appearance, Ling Ye couldn't help laughing beside me.

I glared at him fiercely, and murmured complainingly: "Damn it, you still make fun of me like this when you see me in such a mess!"

Ling Ye picked up a plump chestnut, calmly and gracefully peeled off the chestnut's shell, brought the golden flesh to my mouth and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I'll peel it for you to eat!"

I looked at the sincerity on his face, took the chestnut in his hand with a smile and asked, "Why don't you call me when you go to practice? I haven't practiced swords for a long time. I think I'm about to forget all the moves you taught me." gone."

"It's too cold, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the cold. If you forget it, forget it, anyway, you will be by my side in the future, so let me protect you." Ling Ye handed me the peeled chestnuts Said.

"How can I do that? I have practiced hard for so long before, and I don't want to give up easily." I replied with my round eyes open.

"Well, next time, I'll take you with me next time."

Wei Feng and Wan'er sat on the other side eating roasted chestnuts, Wei Feng lowered his head, eating in a careless, careless manner, with chestnut shells scattered messily on the ground.Wan'er also ate with gusto, ignoring what we said aside.

Ling Ye got up and took my hand and was about to go out. I stuffed half a chestnut in my hand into my mouth and asked vaguely, "Where are you going?"

"The sun outside looks very good, go out and bask in the sun!" The lazy sentence coupled with his lazy expression is just right to make people comfortable, and it feels like lazily wandering in the sun is the most beautiful enjoyment.

I nodded, stretched out my hand to straighten my sleeves and was about to live with him, Ling Ye picked up the cloak hanging by the side and tied it up for me.

Walking out of the bamboo pavilion holding hands, Ling Ye asked, "I heard that you went to see a doctor for Nan Wang today?"

"Well, I'm also surprised. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace. I don't know why I was asked to see a doctor. It's just that King Nan's health is really bad, and I'm afraid there are not many..." I felt a little pity for King Nan. Small and weak, it is very difficult to survive in the cracks of the great powers. When old, he has to bear the pain of bereavement, and there is no successor to the throne. "Hey, if it's Lan Gu, maybe there are other ways." I gritted my teeth and said.

"Don't be unhappy, life and death are life and death, and many things cannot be changed by manpower." Ling Ye comforted me lovingly. "Speaking of Langu, I just remembered a plague that broke out in Yancheng a while ago. I heard that the plague was so fierce that many people who were infected by the plague were isolated in the epidemic area. The imperial court sent Mr. Huang to lead many imperial guards The doctor went to understand the epidemic situation and treat the patients, but they failed to achieve good results. The people who were infected died one after another. Ling You volunteered to go to investigate, but it was said that finally a hidden expert found out The source of the disease, with a prescription to treat the plague, saved Yancheng."

"Did the plague happen in Yancheng? Then the hermit master you mentioned, is it Lan Gu and Uncle Zhong?" I asked a little excitedly.

"I don't think it's wrong." Ling Ye nodded.

"I miss them so much. Ye, how about going to Fireworks Valley to see them when we get back?" I asked coquettishly, holding his arm.

"As long as you like, it's up to you!" Ling Ye scratched my nose pamperingly.He took my hand and walked towards the imperial garden, and smiled as he walked: "It was dark yesterday, and it was snowing and cold, and the koi in Bihu Lake didn't come out. I just discovered that there are so many beautiful koi in the lake today." Fish, let's go take a look now."

"Really? Are our Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong beautiful?"

"Uh, I still think our little black, little white and little red look better." Ling Ye pretended to think about it before answering me.Looking at his exaggerated expression, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She broke free from his hand, ran forward, turned her head while smiling, "Ye, let's see who gets to Bihu first." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at him and ran forward by herself.

Ling Ye smiled evilly from behind, "Are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Standing on the attic, Princess Yusi looked at the frolicking couples in the imperial garden, and she couldn't help showing a hint of envy on her face.How much she wants to have such a beautiful love for herself, with someone who loves and loves herself wholeheartedly by her side.Her father loved her very much since she was a child, and no one around her dared to offend her, they would only blindly flatter and invite pets. Those so-called princes and grandchildren couldn't get into her eyes at all.Is there no good man in this world?No, at least there was one right in front of her eyes.

"Princess, my lord invites you to come over." A little palace maid in blue palace attire knelt beside Princess Yusi and said in a low voice.

"Oh, you go back first, I will go there after I change clothes." Princess Yusi turned her head and glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, lightly raised her jade hand, and replied flatly.

"Yes!" The maidservant backed away.

Hui'er glanced at the dress on Princess Yusi, then took out a fiery red fox fur cloak from the closet knowingly and helped her tie it on.Yu Si stretched out her hand to caress the soft fur, showing a satisfied smile.

Nan Wang leaned on the bed with a pale face, covered with a thick silk brocade quilt.As soon as Yu Si entered the bedroom, she smelled a bitter medicinal smell.She walked quickly to the bed, and asked with concern: "How is father feeling today? I heard from the people below that you invited Miss Xiaowei to see you. What did she say?"

Nan Wang stretched out his hand to caress Yusi's temples in great pain, and showed a wry smile: "Yu'er, my father knows his own affairs. I am afraid that my father's time is numbered. However, the only person my father is most worried about now is You." He stared at Yu Si closely, sighed and continued, "Your elder brother is gone, if your father is also gone, what should you do?"

"No, father, you will live a long life, and you will not leave your daughter." Yu Si held Nan Wang's hand tightly, and crystal tears dripped from the corners of her eyes unconsciously.

"Yu'er, Nanding Kingdom doesn't have any suitable family members to inherit the throne. As a father, I don't feel at ease entrusting Nanding to them. And you, as a daughter, it is very difficult for you to succeed to the throne. Father must give the people of the whole country a reasonable reason and explanation. After all, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the king of a country." Nan Wang said with difficulty, panting heavily.

"Father, my daughter shouldn't be the king of a country. Father, stop talking and take a rest." Yu Si persuaded her father with distressed eyes, looking at her bloodless father.

Nanwang waved his hand, coughed a few times, raised his blood-red eyes to look at Yusi, and asked tentatively, "Yu'er, what do you think if Nanding Kingdom is handed over to the emperor of Li Kingdom?"

Yu Si looked at her father in surprise, and asked inexplicably, "Father is going to hand over Nanding Kingdom?"

"Heh, this time Nanting was almost in danger of destroying the country. If it wasn't for the help of Li Guo, it might have been reduced to Xiyue's possession now. Look, the country is in trouble. Where are your clansmen and royal family members? Speaking of bringing Soldiers and wars should be avoided by everyone, otherwise, how can a father grow old and lose his son, so desolate?" Nan Wang looked out of the window with mist in his eyes, this was the most painful thing in his heart and the regret of his life .He pondered for a while and then said: "If Xiyue loses the protection of Li Kingdom and commits another crime, no one is capable of defending Nanding, you can't, the clansmen of Nanding Kingdom can't, only Li Zixin can protect the people of Nanding Kingdom. Yu'er ,Can you understand?"

"Father, what are you going to do?" Yu Si asked, looking at her father in pain.

"Father decided to pass on the throne to you, and our Nanding Kingdom wants to rely on Li Kingdom to survive, that is marriage."

"Let me marry Li Zixin?" Yu Si asked in surprise.She stood up a little unacceptably, no, why did you come to tell her this now?Why did you let her marry another man when she wanted to belong?But, doesn't the person she loves also have someone he likes?What's more, he had never looked at himself with such focused eyes.It's ridiculous, it turned out that it was just wishful thinking.

"But he already has Xuan Guo's Princess Yixuan as his queen, and I..."

"It's okay for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Yu'er, the emperor of the Li Kingdom is definitely not something in the pond. If you can marry him, it is your good luck. Even though you married him in disguise and gave him the Nanding Kingdom, this It also means that the century-old foundation of Nanding Kingdom is over in the hands of the father, who is ashamed of his ancestors. But the father does not regret this decision. At least, Nanding will flourish in the hands of Li Zixin, and the people of Nanding will not suffer from war again. If the suffering of the family is handed over to other clan members, it will be the common people who will suffer after all. Yu'er, can you understand the painstaking efforts of being a father?"

"Father." Yu Si nodded choked with tears, with clear tears on her face, "Father has the people in his heart, and Yu'er certainly understands. Yu'er, listen to Father's arrangement."

Nanwang nodded in satisfaction, reached out and patted Yusi's shoulder, and said distressedly, "Good boy!"

Yu Si supported Nan Wang to lie down, tucked in the quilt, gently wiped away the tears on his face, and walked out of the bedroom with heavy steps.

The cold wind blowing outside woke her up immediately.She packs up her full belly of depression, raises her head and strides on the royal road, the fiery red fox fur cloak is particularly eye-catching in the white world, and like a proud peacock, she regains the princess's due deportment.

And Nan Wang, who was lying on the dragon bed, watched the back of his daughter leaving for a long time and did not take back his reluctant gaze.A cold thing slowly flowed from the corner of the eye, and fell on the Fushou pillow with brocade Tuanfu pattern, and was quickly sucked dry, leaving a circle of dark marks.He sighed helplessly, and thought of the incident that Li Zixin mentioned to him in the morning again in his mind.

In the morning, Li Zixin, who was full of smiles, came to comfort his body in person. He was a little surprised when Yu'er was mentioned in the conversation. It is not difficult to see his appreciation and love for Yu'er from his words.When he was thinking about how to refuse, Li Zixin bluntly mentioned to himself the idea of ​​wanting Yuer as a concubine, and even threatened that he would completely protect Nanding Kingdom from foreign invasion in the future.Only then did he really understand that he was using Yuer as an excuse, and that wanting to annex Nanding was the purpose of his trip.But now what else can he do besides agreeing?Pointless resistance will only increase the suffering of the people from the war.If he agreed to it, Nanding might be able to survive by relying on Li Guo.

******

In the early morning of the next day, when Ye, Wei Feng and Wan'er and I were having breakfast, the two imperial decrees that Princess Yusi was established as Crown Prince and married to Emperor Li Zixin of Li Kingdom spread throughout the Nanding Palace.I was a little taken aback when I heard the news.He didn't let go of the bird's nest porridge for a long time, and his eyes widened.It is not surprising that Yusi was established as the crown prince. Her two brothers died in battle, so it is reasonable for her to inherit the throne.But why did she suddenly want to marry Li Zixin?Is it because you like it?

Wan'er reached out and shook her hand in front of me, it was only when I came to my senses that Ye was also looking at me with caring and curiosity.

"What's wrong, Wei. Is there something wrong?" Ling Ye reached out to catch my pulse.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "No way, I'm fine. Ye, does the emperor of Li really want to marry Princess Yusi?"

"You heard the imperial decree just now, didn't you?" Ling Ye looked at me and nodded with a smile.

"But, doesn't he already have Ling Xue? If this happens, Ling Xue will be very sad. He is on the imperial conquest, and Ling Xue must be worried about his safety day and night in Li Guo, hoping that he will return triumphantly as soon as possible. But what about him? ? When I went back, I brought another beautiful woman by my side. How could Ling Xue feel so embarrassed? How could he treat Ling Xue like this?" I was a little angry, as expected, since ancient times, emperors have been unlucky, and the ridiculous thing is that this man was still facing me yesterday Entanglement, you can marry another woman today.

"Xiaowei, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and he's still an emperor." Seeing my angry look, Wei Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Why can a man have three wives and four concubines? A woman has to be single? Why can't she be a couple for the rest of her life? This is so unfair to women. I feel really sorry for Ling Xue. Ye, she is your sister, you Can you bear to see her sad?"

"Wei'er, for him, he can marry anyone, as long as it is beneficial to his country. Besides, this is not something we can control. It's just a political marriage. I think Xue'er can understand." Ling Ye was also helpless A sigh.

Hearing such remarks, I suddenly became angry for no reason.Yes, why did I ignore myself? Ling Ye, the third prince of Xuanguo, may also be the future emperor. One day he will abandon his children for the sake of the country, and he will have three thousand beauties. There will be a political marriage, so what am I then?

Hehe, how ridiculous, I was still swearing to Li Zixin that Ye was different yesterday, it seems that I was totally wrong.He has long had a recognition in his bones that he can accept and understand anything that is beneficial to Jiangshan.From time to time, scenes of Ling Ye wearing a dragon robe and hugging left and right appeared in his mind.The more I think about it, the more angry I get, no, I can't accept such a thing. If he can't completely belong to me, I'd rather not. If I want to share him with other women, I absolutely can't do it.

I glared at him with some hatred, turned around and ran away from him.The cold wind whizzed past his ears, and Wan'er's exclamation and Ling Ye's anxious call came from behind him.

I ran forward without turning my head, and the tears of disappointment fell down, which were extremely cold, just like my heart.
