Devil’s Advent

The regent walked into the bedroom and saw his sister sitting at the table with her head slightly lowered, she was waiting for him.

When I get closer,

The princess raised her head and looked at her brother.

A smile appeared on the regent's face,

road:

"I heard that something happened to you, and I was very anxious, but Tian Wujing from Zhennan Pass pressed up, so I stayed for a while to deal with the matter there, and finally came after the situation was stabilized.

He looked good, and he wasn't thin. Although the slaves below had reported it, but I, the elder brother, had to see it with my own eyes to feel at ease.

You grew up by my side, the first time you went out so far alone, I was worried about it in my heart. "

The Regent sat down beside him,

"Pour me a cup of tea."

The princess got up, poured tea, and brought it to the regent.

In the past, every time I went to visit my mother, my sister would take out her treasured imperial cakes and tea cakes for her to eat. The father's favorite Osawa tongue, she kept a lot of it, and I couldn't bear it. Drink, keep it for yourself.

"Brother, I'll ask you again, who has anything to do with your business, the Mi family? I don't think so;

Sister, speak out boldly, if an older brother can't even protect his own sister, how can I protect the people of the Chu Kingdom? "

The princess shook her head and said, "It's all over."

The regent looked at his sister and remained silent for a long time.

The princess smiled slightly and repeated: "It's really all over."

The Regent nodded and said, "Okay."

This is a promise not to pursue it again.

"I heard that Qu Peiluo often came to see you? I've met this kid before, and he's pretty good."

"If brother thinks it's good, brother can marry himself."

"You're talking nonsense again, aren't you?"

The regent was not angry. He had never been angry with his well-behaved girl, and he had never even said a serious word.

Born in the Tian family, he has fought openly and secretly with his brothers since he was sensible. The so-called kinship of the Tian family is a piece of red paper mounted on the outside of the lantern, which can be broken and ignited in a flash.

It is only when we are with her that we can relax our hearts and enjoy the joy of family affection of ordinary people.

The princess said: "I can't see anything good about it."

"Sister, believe in my vision, as long as my brother and I are alive, this kid dare not treat you badly. Secondly, even among the many nobles in my big Chu, Qu Peiluo's material can be regarded as excellent. , at this age, he is not much better than him."

"Not necessarily," said the princess.

Xiong Liqing has already made a comparison by herself, from the rules and regulations to the inside and outside, and found that the more she compares, the more she feels that Qu Peiluo is worthless.

Of course, whoever called Qu Peiluo had a bad life, he couldn't compare with anyone, but he was taken to Pingye Bobi.

"Is there any resentment in your heart?" the regent asked.

The princess did not answer.

"If you have any grievances, just vent it to your elder brother. If you express it, that's fine. Don't vent it to someone like Qu Peiluo. After all, elder brother is your elder brother. Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as a real elder brother being angry with his own sister?

But Qu Peiluo is also a son of a nobleman after all, and he is also arrogant in his heart, you will marry him eventually, don't try to make the relationship stiff for a while, it's not worthwhile. "

This can be regarded as the words from the heart, and it is also the way of housekeeping.

In many cases, you can't be more serious in your life, and you can't let your temper go, otherwise, it's yourself to live an uncomfortable life.

The majestic Prince Regent of Chu can sit down and talk about the way these parents have a short marriage, obviously he really cares about this girl.

"Brother, I don't want to marry, I really don't want to marry."

"Be obedient, the date has already been set."

"Brother, why, you promised me before, I will decide who I marry in the future. As the king of a country, how can you say nothing! You are not joking!"

"I'm not the emperor yet."

"But what's the difference between you and the emperor?"

The nominal regent, but he always sits on the dragon chair when he goes to court.

The regent shook his head, and said: "Emperor, there have always been only people with names, but there have never been people with no names. If you want to blame, blame our father for leaving in such a hurry that my brother and I were not fully prepared at the beginning."

If the Emperor Chu died a year later, or even half a year later, the Regent would have the confidence to prevent the Chu Kingdom from that internal friction.

That internal friction caused Chu State to miss an opportunity. At the same time, it could only watch helplessly as the Yan people annexed most of the land in Jin.

Even if Qu Tiannan was sent to lead the Qingluan Army to go out later, in fact, the Chu State did not do its best, and at the same time, it was only making up for the matter as if it were the last thing.

If there hadn't been that internal friction, the Chu army would have been able to participate in the battle for the land of the Three Jins in time when the Yan people had just wiped out the Helian family, and it would have been difficult for the Yan people to gain a firm foothold in the Jin land. .

"Anyway, it's brother, you have reason, you have difficulties, you have difficulties, as a younger sister, I have to sell myself for your great cause."

The regent frowned slightly, then stretched it out,

road:

"Girls always want to marry when they grow up."

"I don't, I don't, why should I do this, why!"

"Just because you are a princess, you have been well-clothed and well-fed since you were born, you can drink ice in summer and enjoy snow in winter, and you are a royal family who have given you a life of grace and wealth, so you must contribute to this family." Own.

Don't ask why, and don't ask why;

Girls from poor families who have older brothers or younger brothers have to be sold by their parents as goods in exchange for dowry money for their brothers to marry;

In the brothels, how many women are willing to choose to do this business by themselves, most of them are sold by their parents because their families are too poor to survive;

It is the daughters of those noble families, and there are fewer marriages?

Why didn't they ask why, why didn't they ask why?

In this world,

Where did all the best in so many libretto dramas come from,

Whether it is the people or the royal family, everyone has to live. If they want to live, they have to compromise.

girl,

You have to be sensible. "

Xiong Liqing opened her mouth, bit her lips with her white teeth, and said word by word:

"I don't want to be sensible. I just want my brother to spoil me and take care of me like he did when I was a child. I just want to be by my brother's side for the rest of my life."

"Stop talking about such stupid things, we are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, people, we have to learn to grow up.

good,

As long as your brother is here, you can guarantee that you will not be bullied in the slightest in this life. "

"But it was you who bullied me!"

the princess cried out.

The green python at the bottom of the bed felt something, and poked out the snake's head from under the bed.

But when Qing Mang saw the regent sitting there, Qing Mang quickly shrank back.

When the princess's anger reaches a certain level, it will automatically wake up and swallow the person in front of it, but he dare not be presumptuous in front of the regent.

"Brother, you came to see me just to tell me these things."

"My younger sister is getting married. As an older brother, I have to come and see her."

"Is it because I am afraid that I will be too nonsense and ruin your relationship with Qu?"

The regent didn't want to talk anymore, he stood up, as if he was about to leave the bedroom.

The princess still sat there without standing up.

The regent walked to the door, stopped in his tracks, and said: "Brother also wants to tell you something, if you are not happy to marry, we will not marry, but you have no choice.

The emperor of the Yan Kingdom has a clear intention of annexation. He will not give his brother too much time to prepare, and his brother will not have too much time to waste. There is really no choice. "

Xiong Liqing raised her head, looked at the Prince Regent, and said:

"You can choose not to be emperor."

The regent's face turned cold,

Directly scolded:

"I won't fight for this position. If other brothers are allowed to sit on it, you won't be sitting here and complaining to me that you don't want to marry. You have to be exiled to Daze with me now!"

the princess smiled,

Some said sadly:

"I would."

The regent was silent,

Two people,

one standing,

one sitting,

No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere in the bedroom just froze.

…

Uncle Zheng was sitting in the carriage. He didn't go out to wander around at this time, and he didn't go to see the scene where the swordmaker watched the sword for Daxia Chen. He just sat there silently drinking tea.

Zhao Jiancheng stood aside, not daring to speak much.

It's just that the two of them still met their eyes from time to time, but they didn't make any valuable exchanges.

are you here?

Yo, are you here again?

Yoyo, are you still here today?

Yes, I'm in, I'm out again, I'm in again...

Uncle Zheng really wants to smoke a cigarette now, one is that he has nothing to do now and waits to be bored, and the other is that he has some emotions in his heart and wants to resolve it in this way.

But Uncle Zheng restrained his impulse after all, because cigarettes are so iconic, maybe Fengchao's spies had already collected that he had this habit.

Idle is also idle,

Uncle Zheng's thoughts began to diverge,

Suddenly thought of one thing,

That is, I have seen Emperor Yan, the officials of Qian State, Emperor Jin, and the Savage King, and now I have seen "Emperor Chu";

Wow,

Even if they are envoys or envoys of two countries, they usually only go to one country and can only see the emperor of one family, but on their own side, except for the barbarian king, they are almost a grand slam.

In this world, there are not many people who have seen so many "emperors" like me, and have talked to them at close range, right?

Thinking about it this way, it really feels like a Pokémon;

"hehe."

Uncle Zheng couldn't help laughing twice.

Zhao Cheng, who was standing beside him, trembled subconsciously twice. He really couldn't figure out Zheng Fan's identity now. He only knew it was extremely mysterious, and mystery was the biggest source of people's fear.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from outside.

Immediately afterwards,

The three dismounted and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Two middle-aged men stood at the door and knelt down directly.

Qu Peiluo walked in directly;

The two kneeling at the door were Qu Peiluo's two uncles, that is, Qu Tiannan's younger brother.

In the morning, the imperial guards entered the other courtyard's garrison, and at the same time, Fengchao's fans also gathered, and the Qu family in Ju'an City immediately received an urgent report.

Qu's representatives immediately understood who was here, so the two uncles immediately accompanied Qu Peiluo to the imperial courtyard to meet him.

The regent is dressed in a white dragon fish suit, but Qu's needs to learn about Qu'er, the proper etiquette and posture must be present, not to mention the wedding is coming soon, the regent's coming here now is to give Qu's face.

Two uncles with general numbers on their bodies knelt at the door and didn't come in. They were just responsible for kneeling. After all, the regent didn't put on a chariot, which meant that most of them appeared as "family members". Pei Luo went in to chat with the regent and princess about family matters.

After Qu Peiluo entered the inner courtyard, he first saw the swordmaker who was helping Chen Daxia taste the sword there.

Obviously, he knew the swordmaker, and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Pei Luo met Uncle Dugu."

Dugu's family is a great nobleman of the Chu State with the same stature as Qu's, and one of Qu Peiluo's aunts is the wife of the swordmaker's second uncle, so the swordmaker is a generation ahead of Qu Peiluo.

Coupled with his status as one of the Four Great Swordsmen, it was only natural to put on airs in front of Qu Peiluo and accept this gift.

The junior who is about to get married salutes himself, and the elder needs to show something.

The swordmaker was also prepared, took out a short sword from his pocket, and threw it directly to Qu Peiluo.

"It's for you."

"Thank you Uncle Dugu."

The sword given by the swordmaker must be a good sword, there is no doubt about it.

Qu Peiluo didn't refuse, but respectfully accepted the sword, and then his eyes fell on Chen Daxia.

The sword maker said:

"The swordsman of Qianguo, Daxia Chen, was sent by Master Yao."

Qu Pei Llama handed over,

Chen Daxia responded with his sword.

The swordmaker squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"There is also a little Mr. Su inside, who is Master Yao's personal disciple. He is very talented. You can go and say hello later. When you get married, maybe he will write a poem for you."

"Yes, nephew knows."

Qu Peiluo continued to walk in and saw a carriage and Zheng Fan who was leaning against the carriage.

Although he said he wanted to rob someone's wife, and he had already unlocked a lot of tofu belonging to his fiancée before he did, Uncle Zheng really didn't know Qu Peiluo.

The last time Qu Peiluo was reading poems outside the door, Uncle Zheng was holding the princess inside. He had only heard the voice of the son-in-law singing, but never seen the real person.

Until Zhao Cheng knelt down and saluted Qu Peiluo:

"Slave pays respects to General Huwei, General Fukang."

"Get up."

"Thank you General."

oh?

It's him.

Uncle Zheng immediately assumed the role of the old man next door, and began to examine Qu Peiluo.

look good,

Um,

Really good.

Qu Peiluo's appearance is really good. In future generations, he looks more handsome than those little fresh meats. This is an indisputable fact, a fact that even Zheng Laowang has to admit.

But Uncle Zheng immediately said with disdain in his heart:

Just good-looking has a fart.

Qu Peiluo didn't know what Uncle Zheng was thinking. He knew that Zheng Fan had to be recognized by the swordsmith as a disciple of Master Yao, so he was very polite to Zheng Fan:

"I met Mr. Su."

Zheng Fan smiled slightly, and retreated half a step implicitly in return:

"Meet the general."

"Pei Luo is deeply honored to be able to attend Pei Luo's wedding banquet, Mr. Su."

No, you will regret it.

"Pei Luo likes poetry, and also admires the culture of Qianguo. I also hope that Mr. Su will not hesitate to teach me. Pei Luo will be grateful."

No, you won't appreciate it.

"Where is it, brother Qu has a demeanor, he is really a gentleman of great Chu and Qianqian, and brother Qu's literary name Su has been heard for a long time."

After all, holding your fiancée in your arms and listening to you singing snow outside the door that day.

"Mr. Su is too polite, Qu Mou is ashamed."

The reason why Qu Peiluo was so polite to this disciple of Master Yao was that his purpose was just like what the swordmaker said earlier, he hoped that this "Mr. Su" could write a poem or a word for himself on the day of the wedding banquet.

In this era, the dissemination and influence of poetry is enormous, especially "Mr. Su" and the title of Master Yao's disciple.

No one would not want their wedding to be a splendid one and be remembered by future generations.

Zhao Cheng, who was standing on one side, lowered his head halfway, without speaking or making a sound.

As the only one who knows here,

Eunuch Zhao felt that the conversation between the son-in-law and Zheng Fan, sympathy, and mutual admiration were filled with a humorous black tone.

...

In the bedroom, it has been quiet for a long time.

The regent failed to get what he wanted here, he knew that his sister had resentment in her heart, and he came here to make her vent her anger;

As an elder brother, he hopes that his sister can live happily after marriage; as an "emperor", he hopes that his sister can complete his political alliance with Qu.

In fact, regardless of marriage or not, Qu can only be bound by his side, because Qu has already lost nearly 50,000 Qingluan troops for the regent, and at the same time lost the current Patriarch, a Zhuguo.

It was impossible to get out of the car.

This marriage was actually done for other great nobles to declare a position.

Therefore, the regent does not want his sister to have emotions.

But his sister's reaction made him a little strange. She should have accepted her fate. As a result, it seemed that she was extraordinarily tough now.

This made the regent, who liked to control everything in his hands, feel very uncomfortable, but all monarchs actually like the feeling that their will can control everything, and they don't like disobedience.

Coupled with what my sister has expressed to me over the past few years,

The regent's current mood inevitably brought some irritability.

He turned his head, looked at the princess, and said:

"Liqing, it's a done deal now, and the marriage is coming soon. I hope you can wake up a bit. You are my sister. I watched you grow up, so I know my sister. She is very smart."

"Brother, are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a will."

"Purpose?"

"It is my will that you marry me with a smile."

It's just acting, you can do it for me too!

I know you have this ability, you are not as weak as you look.

The princess sitting on the chair looked at her brother blankly.

And at this time,

The regent pushed open the door of the chamber,

The princess saw Qu Peiluo standing at the door of the bedroom for the first time.

Alas, here he comes again;

immediately,

The princess saw Zheng Fan standing beside Qu Peiluo,

Hey, here he is again!

Perhaps Uncle Zheng's appearance was really shocking, causing the depression and anger he had endured at his brother's place to be interrupted unexpectedly,

A smile appeared on the princess's face.

The regent noticed it, and he was relieved, his sister still listened to him and knew how to measure.

Qu Peiluo saw that the princess smiled when she saw him,

A sincere smile appeared on his face in response.

Uncle Zheng saw Qu Peiluo smiling so happily,

He also...

no,

Hold back, can't laugh.
