Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 134 Seeing King Qin Again

Slowly, she took a silver blade and stirred it gently from time to time, adding some petals from time to time, every minute and every inch was just right.

The scent came in bursts, and Yue Pengju took a long breath: "Hehe, it smells so good..."

She smiled sweetly, and was still preparing something, some side dishes to go with the wine.A plate of broad beans, a stack of smoked bamboo shoots, a stack of dried tofu, and the leftovers of fat pigs, fat cattle and sheep slaughtered in the military camp during the Chinese New Year, and two small plates of braised pork sliced ​​by Hua Rong from the kitchen. A pig's foot was boiled on the stove, the soup was gurgling, some wild alfalfa was added, and then there was a big pot of corn and rice.

Yue Pengju helped him. He had never done such a job in the army all these years. At this moment, he felt that it was extremely novel, as if such a thing had endless fun.

Finally, the food was served piping hot; the wine was also piping hot, poured into a set of earthen bowls, which were full, and each person had a big bowl.

Hua Rong was holding the bowl, and his palm was hot; Yue Pengju was also holding the bowl, and his heart was also hot.

The two sat facing each other, looked at each other, full of joy, this is also the first time for the two to celebrate the New Year together.In a chaotic world, people are not as good as dogs, they don't get together much, and they have been separated for a long time. It is really not easy to be where we are today.

Hua Rong took a sip of wine, couldn't help it, and a tear fell.

Yue Pengju put down the wine bowl, sat beside her, and gently put his arms around her shoulders: "Sister Seventeen, what's the matter?" Old habit, call her smoothly: "Sister, what's the matter?"

He reached out to wipe away her tears, but at this moment, she laughed, so happy, "Pengju, I'm so happy. It's been many years, and no one has ever accompanied me during the New Year like this."

"We are husband and wife, and I will naturally be with you every year from now on."

"Ah."

This New Year's dinner was almost at dusk, and both of them were drunk, with peach blossoms on their faces.

Yue Pengju stood up with a smile, and went to hold her hand: "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Ok".

As soon as he went out, the cold wind blew on his face, Yue Pengju quickly untied his fur and hugged her in his arms.In the garden after the snow, because the owner fled for a long time, there was no maintenance at all. The plants fend for themselves in a mess. The tops of the holly clumps are covered with snow, and some yellow weeds lie on the ground. When winter boots step on it, There was a slight strange creaking sound.

The two rows of magnolia trees in front are in full bloom with pure white flowers. Although the sky is full of snow, the difference between the flowers and the snow is so huge that people will never be confused.

There are huge trees in the front and back, and some red lanterns made by the female family members of the army are hung sporadically on them. In the barrenness, there is a warm and festive atmosphere.

The two walked forward in a drunken cuddle.The snow in front was so thick that the boots sank deeply.

Hua Rong was petite, and when he stepped on his boots, he almost sank a little. Yue Pengju quickly grabbed her, and the two of them laughed. He got up and squatted in front of her: "I'll carry you..."

She happily leaned on his back and hugged his neck, Yue Pengju stood up, at this moment, Hua Rong looked around, only to feel that his vision immediately widened.

Unfortunately, it was already dusk, and she didn't know if her eyes were dazzled, but she suddenly noticed a tall figure in a thick fur fur, walking forward step by step on the road ahead.

That's the way out, the way out of here.

He walked very slowly, as if he was holding a huge wine jug in his hand, drinking while walking, and his steps were a little staggering, as if he was about to get drunk.

Such a familiar figure is imprinted in my heart and will never be forgotten. It was the nightmare of girlhood and the deepest gratitude in my life.His bad and his good are like eternal marks in his heart, every time he thinks about it, he doesn't know whether it's joy or sorrow, resentment or hatred...

King Qin!
It's King Qin!

She almost screamed out.

On Yue Pengju's back, she straightened up involuntarily, but that tall back was gone.She didn't know whether it was the coming of night or her eyes were blurred, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and when she looked again, she couldn't see anyone anymore.

At this time, the night had already enveloped the earth, covering this snow-capped world. Looking from a distance, the surroundings were blurred. Where could there be any figures?
She silently thought, King Qin has already returned to the island, and he has not been chased all the way, how could it be him?

It won't be his!
It must not be him!
At such a moment, he should be on the island, with many women in his arms, drinking a big bowl of wine and eating meat, and happily living his life as a pirate.

How could it be him?
How could it be that he walked thousands of miles away and walked on the snow all by himself?
It won't be him!

It will never be him!
Sorrow, fear, heartbreak and desolation, after all, he is a person who lives and dies together, after all, he is a man who treats himself so well, I feel very melancholy, just thinking, don't be him, I don't want him to be in such a big, alone man walking on snow...

As if the tears were about to fall, she stretched out the back of her hand and rubbed vigorously, making her eyes extremely bitter, and forcefully forced the tear back.

"Pengju, let's go back."

"Okay, it's cold outside, let's go back early and rest."

Yue Pengju didn't know about her "illusion" at this moment, he was a little drunk, he happily turned around behind her back and walked back. After a few corners, he would "go home" and return to their new house.

The room had already been tidied up, and on the vacant table, a few snowy white magnolias that Yue Pengju had broken off from the garden outside the window were inserted. There were faint red and purple dots in the petals, which looked extraordinarily bright.

The candles were lit, and a bouquet of plain incense wafted around the room.

A piece of paper was laid out on the table, Yue Peng picked up a pen and drew on it, while Hua Rong sat on the side and rubbed the ink for him.He drew a few strokes and looked up at her from time to time.

Every time I look at it, I can't help but smile.

It took Hua Rong a long time to draw a rough outline of him, and only the eyes were drawn so vividly, really bright and clean.She clicked her tongue: "Pengju, it's good as it is."

"No, I have to finish the painting this time, and it must be very beautiful."

She smiled, and didn't stop him anymore, she was still grinding ink and making hot tea for him.At this time, Yue Pengju looked like a man at home, and he was no longer the solemn and dignified military man. How good it is, don't want him to be a hero, but only hope for such trivial things as forever.

The atmosphere of the peace talks between Song and Jin was getting stronger and stronger, which also gave a stabilizer to the small court that had just gained a firm foothold from the precarious escape. The Hangzhou Palace had an extremely lively New Year.

On this day, the palace hosted a banquet for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin.After drinking and eating, Jin patted his chest with drunken eyes and said to Kang Gonggong: "Son of the Zhao family, the return of Concubine Wei Xian is always on his mind, so why is it difficult to ask Concubine Xian to return? As long as the Song Dynasty sends envoys to discuss peace..."

After talking and laughing, the envoy left, and Eunuch Kang hurriedly reported to the officials.

Zhao Deji sat in the study, facing the warm stove, holding a brush in his hand.People are not plants, at such a moment, I think of my mother even more, and I don't know what kind of inhuman torture she is suffering in a foreign country.

Eunuch Kang bowed his body: "This old slave has repeatedly tested Jin's tone, and they are willing to let the queen mother back..."

What Zhao Deji was thinking about was only his biological mother.The peace negotiation with the Kingdom of Jin this time is no small matter. The result of the discussions of several prime ministers is that it should be treated with high standards. At present, a peace negotiation mission headed by the deputy prime minister has been dispatched, and it will leave after the Lantern Festival.

However, after all, I feel uneasy, especially the "erotic pictures" of the biological mother that Jin Wushu once promoted. I am afraid that Jinren will make a big fuss if he goes this time.How to make the Empress Dowager return completely without being questioned by the people all over the world about her innocence and integrity is really a headache.

And because it is in contact with the Queen Mother, it is best to have women in the envoy's member regiment.In this way, the person who went there had to be a shrewd and capable woman who was good at keeping secrets and who I could trust completely.But, inside and outside the palace, where could one go to find such a woman who could take on such a big responsibility?

Eunuch Kang whispered: "Officials, this old slave has a candidate..."

"Who?"

"Hua Rong!"

Zhao Deji pondered for a while, it's not that he didn't think about this problem, but, Hua Rong just came back from the sea, experienced a long escape, is not in good health, and just newly married, is she willing to go?

Seeing that he was silent, Eunuch Kang said in a low voice: "Official, Hua Rong is shrewd and careful, and she is loyal to the official. She can also speak Jurchen language. It would be perfect for her to go..."

Zhao Deji can definitely trust Hua Rong's quality and behavior style, but he is still very hesitant: "She is a woman, it will be inconvenient in the end, and I don't know if she is willing to part with Yue Pengju..."

"The officials are worrying too much. Hua Rong is alert and smart. Besides, this time, the deputy prime minister is leading the team. The peace talks are of a very high standard, so she won't be in any danger. Besides, the queen mother..."

He didn't continue talking, Zhao Deji knew well that the life of the Queen Mother in the Kingdom of Jin must be difficult, if those scandals were really spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Okay, let me think about it again."

into the night.

Hangzhou in the past, Lin'an today.

The Jin army went south, Huaiyang stopped, and it had not yet ravaged Hangzhou, so this prosperous place of gold powder in the Southern Dynasty was preserved.

After the Jin army withdrew to the north, the atmosphere of the peace talks was strong. In addition, just after the new year, everyone was busy welcoming the Lantern Festival. The streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and festoons. Even the air was no longer cold and filled with the scent of festive food and wine.

In the private room of a brothel, the procuress warmly greeted her from afar: "Masters, please come in, we have the best girl in Lin'an City..."

She waved the handkerchief prettily, and suddenly found that she had not yet reached the chest of the tall man, and the strong sense of oppression made her take a step back involuntarily.

"Leave the entire second floor to me..."

"Oh, sir, do you need so many girls?"

The old bustard was careful to curry favor, and then looked at the eight strong and strong men who happened to be beside him, and secretly guessed, what are these people doing with such a floor?
"I don't want women, come to sleep."

"You don't want a woman, then go to the inn..."

"Damn, do you want to die..."

A follower slammed a few ingots of gold.At this time, Song and Jin were negotiating peace, and the folks had gone through rounds of searches, and there were very few gold and silver that were sold at will. When the old bustard saw these ingots of yellow and clear gold, his eyes were green, and he hurriedly said: "Welcome, welcome, hurry up, girls, Come out to serve...good wine and good food..."

A group of beautifully dressed women came out twisting their bodies like wind: "Master..."

"Master, please come in quickly..."

"Master, what song do you want to hear..."

"..."

In the charming voice, King Qin stomped on the stairs and went up to a private room on the second floor; behind him, there were cheers from the pirates. They had been traveling long distances for a long time, and they needed to relax completely, so, Coming to a brothel is naturally the best place for men to have fun.

The two prostitutes watched him go upstairs alone, and said coquettishly, "The old man stay a while..."

A pirate stopped her with a "shh": "You take care of your life, don't meddle in your own business..."

The prostitute twisted her waist and spat.

The door closed, shutting off the bustling downstairs, laughing and laughing.

There is a table of wine and dishes on the table, four cold and four hot, and a pot of hot wine.

The wine entered the heart, burning hot, as if all the limbs and bones felt a great pain.

"Damn, why is this wine sour?"

He slammed the jug on the ground and ate another bite of vegetables, but he felt that the vegetables were also bitter, everything was bitter.

With a wave of his hand, he violently swept the entire table of wine and food down.

The two servants who were waiting outside did not dare to say anything when they heard the patron's anger. They were only at the door and did not dare to knock on the door to come in and clean it.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the bustard personally brought a man up. The man had a fat complexion and no beard. He was followed by two attendants in green clothes. They were the great eunuch Kang Eunuch in the palace.The old bustard knew his identity, and his attitude was not respectful.

When the old bustard saw the young servant, he immediately said, "Where is Uncle Qin? Why don't you take good care of Uncle Qin?"

The two dared not make a sound, they just mumbled inward.

The old bustard snorted: "Useless things, go away."

The two young servants retreated to the side, and the bustard knocked on the door, saying in a coquettish voice, "Master, there is a visitor..."

"Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Eunuch Kang went in, but seeing the mess all over the room, he said in surprise: "King Qin..." Seeing that King Qin was still full of anger, he immediately waved his hand, and two young servants stepped forward and took the ground. The residue was swept away, and then retreated quickly.

The old bustard flattered her, "Do you want to prepare more wine and food?"

"No, if I don't call you, I won't come in again."

"Yes."

The old bustard led everyone out, and only the two Qingyi attendants brought by Mr. Kang were guarding the door.
