love palace
Chapter 81
Time flies, it is the beginning of spring.
The sky in the afternoon was gloomy, and the pavilions and pavilions were shrouded in gray.Ke Weiqing dragged two and a half-year-old Qing'er with his right hand, and held Yan'er, who was still breastfeeding, with his left hand, standing on the winding stone bridge.
The guards and nurses all backed away a hundred steps away. The emperor had allowed Ke Weiqing to play with the children. It was no longer like before, where the wet nurses and eunuchs were staring at each other step by step.
"Daddy, fish! So many fish! Ah! It's gone!" Qing'er's face was plump, and when she smiled, the dimples were particularly conspicuous, just like the peach blossoms blooming in the imperial garden. like him.
Qing'er is also very playful, with a small pot full of bait hanging from her waist and a net bag in her hand, she throws herself on the stone railing. The fish come out from under the bridge and swim around. When they see Qing'er He hurriedly hid under the stone slab again.
"They're shy. Give the fish something to eat, and they'll come out to see you." Ke Weiqing reminded Qing'er with a smile.
"Okay!" Qing'er's tender little hands grabbed into the pot, took out a few handfuls of bait mixed with rice and glutinous rice flour, and threw it into it.
There were layers of ripples on the surface of the lake, and the fish opened their mouths to eat greedily. Nearly a hundred white or red carps and golden dragon fish surrounded them all at once.
"Father... Daddy... Huh...?!"
It is said that Yan'er and the emperor look exactly the same, as if they were carved out of the same mold, and they are very smart, and they can call people in just six months.However, whether he calls Huang Ye or Ke Weiqing Daddy, there is no difference.
"It's fish." Ke Weiqing said with a smile, telling him tirelessly, "Fish...a lot of fish, this is red, this is white..."
"Ah..." Yan'er babbled and stretched out her hand, catching the fish wandering in groups.
"My brother is so cute! Do you want a fish? My brother will catch it for you!" Qing'er, who had just settled down under Ke Weiqing's eyes for a while, boldly wanted to jump into the pond.You must know that he is still short, and he has to hold on to the railing when he goes up the steps.
"Your Highness!" Before Ke Weiqing could grab Qing'er, Jing Tingrui flew over, reached out his hand, and carried the little man away from the dangerous stone fence.
"Ruirui! I want fish! I'll catch fish for my brother!" Ke Qing'er was not grateful, and was still kicking and kicking in Jing Tingrui's arms, "You catch fish for me!"
"Yes! Your Highness."
Although it was beginning of spring, the lake was still bitingly cold, with thin ice floating on it.Jing Tingrui seemed to have no scruples, plunged headlong into the water with a splash, then used his clothes to make a net, quickly and accurately caught a red koi, and jumped onto the stone bridge again.
The cold wind was blowing, and Ke Weiqing couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. Even Huang Ye might not spoil Qing'er so much.
"Ruirui is great!" Qing'er was very happy, and Yan'er giggled as she danced at the koi carp, although he still didn't understand what was going on.
The fish got out of the water, fluttered a few times, and opened its mouth to inhale. It looked very hard. The drenched boy said to Qing'er, "The fish is just like His Highness, it misses Daddy, let's take it home .”
The boy put the fish back into the pond, and it slithered and disappeared.
"Did the fish go back...?" Qing'er lay on the stone fence again, staring at the colorful fish with longing eyes, full of reluctance, "The fish will come to play again."
"As long as Your Highness is obedient, eat and sleep obediently, the fish will come to play again." The young man said patiently in Qing'er's ear, with endless love in his eyes.
"Huh! Rarity hug me!" The child was a child, and she smiled again in the blink of an eye, clamoring for a hug.But Jing Tingrui was soaked from head to toe, and his hands were cold.
"Okay, go down and change your clothes." Ke Weiqing said to the boy.
"Yes!" Seeing that Qing'er stopped making trouble, Jing Tingrui nodded and backed away.
"What an interesting boy." Ke Weiqing couldn't help thinking, it's really not easy for Qing'er to be honest and obedient.
"Daddy! Look! There are ants!"
Qing'er really couldn't be idle, as soon as she turned her little butt, she went to see the ants. Ke Weiqing hugged Yan'er, and followed closely with other attendants.
Countless black mother ants wandered across the bridge on the stone slabs, like a well-trained army.
"The ants move because it's going to rain." Ke Weiqing murmured, "The rain will flood the low-lying places, so they have to move to the high places."
"Daddy, what about them? Are they moving too?" Qing'er raised her head and pointed to the opposite side.
Exquisite pavilions and pavilions are distributed along the mountain. There are about a hundred court ladies, like ants, carrying, carrying, and dropping new furniture and utensils, new mattresses and brocade tents, all of which are pasted with red double happiness, heading east go……
"No," Ke Weiqing replied softly, with endless bitterness in his heart, "They are decorating a new house for your father."
"What is a new house?"
"It's just..." Ke Weiqing didn't know what to say, and lowered his eyes, "It's for weddings. When you grow up, you will understand."
"Why do you have to grow up to understand? No... the baby needs to know now!" Qing'er grabbed Ke Weiqing's hand and shook it like a swing, "Daddy!"
"It's you and Yan'er... who will have a queen mother." Ke Weiqing said hoarsely helplessly.
"Mother's queen...?" Qing'er tilted her head, "What is mother's queen?"
"It is the mother of a country, and also your mother." Ke Weiqing looked at the magnificent team, "In the day after tomorrow, your father and emperor will hold a wedding ceremony, and Dayan will have a mother of the country by then, and everyone is looking forward to it... ...Queen."
"Hmm...?" Qing'er still half-understood, shouting, "Isn't the queen your father?"
"Who said that, Tongyan Wuji." Ke Weiqing smiled wryly, raised his hand and tapped Qinger's forehead lightly.
"Daddy..." Qing'er held her head aggrievedly. Of course, this is what the emperor said. He said that a country has an emperor and a queen, and the queen is the prince's biological mother or biological father. If you think about it this way, the queen is not the father. ?
"Master Ke! The Princess is here." A eunuch rushed to report.Ke Weiqing turned around in surprise, and saw Ying Qiantong, who was supposed to be very busy preparing the dowry, standing at the end of the bridge, slim and full of joy.
"Okay." Ke Weiqing nodded, "Meet you in the pavilion ahead."
※※※
The good news that Huang Ye was about to get married turned into bad news once it reached Jinyan Palace!Shuo Lan was so angry that she threw all the festive things in the palace, such as mandarin duck vases, lotus seed treasure boxes, and even dragon and phoenix brocade tents, out of the bedroom.
But whether she is sarcastic or angry, she can't stop the emperor from marrying Princess Liang, because the marriage is of great benefit to Yan and Liang.
What's more, the emperor, who has always been so repulsive, actually agreed. This made the princes and ministers happy before it was too late. How could they object?
Originally, Shuo Lan had already arranged everything, so that Fei Ying, together with nearly forty ministers whom she had wooed, jointly signed a petition to request the emperor to confer her as empress and make Yongfu his crown prince.Looking at Dayan Empress Palace, there are no women with a higher status than her, and a nobler status than her.However, a princess of the Liang Kingdom unexpectedly appeared on the way!
Relying on her noble background, Ying Qiantong insisted on marrying into Dayan!Shameless!
"I don't care what she is! She's not a shameless bitch!"
Shuo Lan wanted to see the emperor, wanted to attack with tears, and win Huang Ye's mercy, but Huang Ye avoided seeing him, which made her even more angry. Regardless of Yong Fu's presence, she cursed and smashed the vase, frightening Fu The son fell to the ground, crying for "Nurse", his little face turned blue from fright!
But no court lady dared to approach, someone wanted to coax the Second Highness before, but Shuo Lan slapped her away, saying that she came for a good show!
"Your Majesty, I will carry the Second Highness down to drink some milk." Nanny Li couldn't stand it anymore, and said desperately.
"It's useless! It only sucks milk! I raised you, but I didn't see you giving my mother some blessings!" Shuo Lan patted the child's head hard, but also cried out!
"My poor lady!" Nanny Li also cried, she thought she was on the same boat as Shuo Lan, if Shuo Lan suffered, would she still have a way out?Don't all those murders, frames and poisonings have to be exposed?
The emperor hasn't even skinned her!
Nanny Li quickly snatched the child away and comforted Concubine Lan Gui, "Your Majesty, the emperor saw you treating the Second Highness like this, so he will blame you..."
"Bah! Does he have blessings in his heart? He only knows Qing'er and Yan'er, by the way, that Yan'er...!" Huang Ye said, when the third prince was born, his complexion was ruddy, and he cried loudly, so he was named Yan. For fire, it also has the meaning of shining on the heaven.
Obviously, he loved his newborn son so much.
And Qing'er, when he was catching Zhou, Huang Ye smiled and said that Qing'er would manage officials in the future.Is it implying that he wants to make Qing'er the crown prince?These things tortured Shuo Lan's nerves, almost driving her crazy!
I thought that as long as she endured it, she would be able to endure it until the day when all the officials appeared on the table, but now it's all over!She can bring down Ke Weiqing, because he is just a male favorite, but Princess Liang, how should she deal with her?
Could it be that he just watched that stinky girl take the back seat?
No!can not be like this!She has endured humiliation for so many years, so she won't give up her position to others!
"Mother Li, take Fu'er away and clean it up...Let General Fei come." Shuo Lan stopped her tears suddenly, as if she was a different person, she walked to the bronze mirror stand, raised her eyebrows, swept over her temples, and mended makeup.
"Yes! Your Majesty." Li Nanny was startled in her heart.When Shuo Lan sent someone to kill Eunuch Zhao, she once said that only the dead would not block the way. Obviously, Concubine Lan Gui is going to make another ruthless move.
"Remember, let him go through the back door." At this moment, Shuo Lan looked completely new, with only the calmness and cunning of the past on her face...
※※※
The rain just started to fall, but it was getting colder in the pavilion. Yan'er was lying on Ke Weiqing's shoulder, already fast asleep, while Qing'er, under the care of the wet nurse, was eating crispy white sesame cakes, muttering: Thinking about something, Jing Tingrui stood not far from the gazebo, guarding them.
"Master Ke, you must find it very strange?" After taking a sip of hot tea, Ying Qiantong asked Ke Weiqing with a smile.
"Um?"
"I want to marry your sweetheart." Ying Qiantong looked into Ke Weiqing's eyes and murmured, "Am I trying to win love with a knife?"
"Princess……"
"Don't tell me that you don't love the emperor. I don't know what other people think, but you, Mr. Ke, from the moment I saw you, I knew that there was always someone in your heart - a person like me. A person who is impossible to reach in this lifetime." Ying Qiantong sighed softly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't let your son-in-law quit and insist on going back to Dayan."
"Princess! You promise me that you won't talk about it anymore! And you were still young at that time, so it's just a joke." At that time, King Liang paid a lot of money to keep him, and Ying Qiantong still held Ke Weiqing and insisted on marrying him. He almost became the son-in-law!
"Haha, what are you afraid of? You started arguing. By the way... I heard that the emperor is very jealous and domineering, and often punishes you?"
"...!" Ke Weiqing blushed immediately, and then turned his head, "It's nothing, the emperor is not that kind of person."
"That's good, I can't bear to marry such a jealous husband, ha ha." Ying Qiantong propped her chin with one hand and laughed.
"Why are you here today...?" Ke Weiqing said.After sitting for most of the day, Ying Qiantong either teased the children, or ate tea and chatted about the trivial matters in the palace. Seeing that the big wedding was about to happen, she was not in a hurry at all.
"In my heart... I have a little doubt, and I need your answer." Ying Qiantong blinked and said slowly, "Da Yan is getting stronger and stronger, and has the potential to annex the world. If I marry him, I can make Liang Guo It is also my duty as a princess to be spared, but... I am not very comfortable here."
Ying Qiantong pointed to her chest.
"Princess." Marriages with political goals are very common among the Ten Kingdoms, but Ying Qiantong is the only one who dares to act boldly and speaks out.
"I have never been able to forget you. Your eyes and your smile are so beautiful." Ying Qiantong became bolder, staring straight at Ke Weiqing, "Even if you are a witch, I don't care."
"Princess! Please be careful! You must know that walls have ears...!" Ke Weiqing reminded in a panic.
"I don't care. I'm going to get married anyway, and I have to say what I have to say, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I marry." Ying Qiantong was no different from a child when she started messing around.Thinking of her pretending to be a court lady and sneaking out of the palace, it is no less than ten times.Apparently, Emperor Liang's pampering had formed her character of being well-educated but also very self-willed.
"Princess, if you have any questions, I will answer them for you." Ke Weiqing said anxiously, "The emperor is a good man. He will know that you treat him well. You can rest assured about this."
If Huang Ye married Ying Qiantong, she would take on the responsibility of being a husband. Ke Weiqing knew this very well, so it was even more painful.
"Hehe, I want to ask you," Ying Qiantong said, "do you hate me?"
"what?"
"Do you hate it?" Ying Qiantong asked again.
"No." Ke Weiqing shook his head, "I don't hate you. Before, now, and in the future."
Ying Qiantong is much better than Shuo Lan as Dayan's queen.Ke Weiqing believed that Ying Qiantong would treat Huang Ye well.
"Okay!" Ying Qiantong stood up and said shyly, "With your words, I feel relieved. Also, don't think that I married the emperor just for the sake of Liang Guo. Although... it was like this at the beginning, But your sweetheart is really different, and can capture the hearts of your daughter's family very well."
"Princess, it would be great if you think so." Ke Weiqing said softly.Compared with her own broken heart, Huang Ye's happiness is the most important thing.
"Yes, as long as you don't regret it." Ying Qiantong seemed relieved.
"Since I decided to follow him, I have no complaints or regrets in my life..." Ke Weiqing smiled slightly, hugged Yan'er tightly in his hand, stood up, and sent the princess away.
※※※
The emperor's marriage was grand and grand, and various ceremonies were arranged early.
First of all, it was Dayan who sent gifts to the Kingdom of Liang. This mighty guard of honor, nearly 5000 people, connected end to end, sent golden and silver knives, armor, gold-painted porcelain plates, and silk and satin. , and dozens of carriages filled with exotic treasures such as coral and ivory.
Secondly, the team that Dayan sent the "Da Zheng Li" was even more brilliant, with 300 taels of gold, 3 taels of silver, a golden phoenix, a silver unicorn, a thousand feet of golden silk satin, and five hundred thousand-mile horses. The Jedi were sent to Liang Guo.
After the ceremony, the emperor will formally marry Princess Liang. However, since the princess lives in the Dayan Palace, the ceremony in this aspect should be simpler. There is no need to trek across mountains and rivers to welcome the bride, but it is also very grand and the whole country Celebrate.
On the day of their wedding, Ke Weiqing and his son put on brand-new colored brocade robes, the collars were deep red, embroidered with golden patterns, the cuffs and hem were decorated with red Robe fringes, and the waists were inlaid with silver chrysanthemum and white jade belts.Gold flowers and silver ornaments echo each other, shining brilliantly and extravagantly.
Ke Weiqing also wore a golden silk-carved phoenix crown on his head, which was fixed with green jade hairpins, making his chiseled face even more mature and handsome.
Although the little prince is wearing a crown, he is wearing a red wreath, which is the same as his father's attire, which makes them more eye-catching. Their innocent smiles are so cute that they make people's heart burst!
Dressed up like this, the three of them really looked like a family of immortals. The maids and nuns who were near the attendants couldn't move their eyes, they just stared at them, almost missing the auspicious time.
That's all for the child, Ke Weiqing felt that he was dressed so gorgeously, it was too much, you must know that he was neither a high-rank concubine, nor an important minister wearing a boa robe, according to the etiquette system, he was not qualified to stand in the hall and participate in the ceremony. Grand wedding ceremony.
He is only responsible for sending the children to the hall.But Li Deyi said with a smile, this is the emperor's wish, let him accept it with peace of mind, after all, the emperor only has one big wedding, and all countries will send envoys, so you can't lose face.
Too.Ke Weiqing's mood darkened again.Rumors that Emperor Dayan had a male favorite had spread all over the world. If he dressed plainly and was rude to others, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Huang Ye?
"As long as the emperor... is happy to get married." Anything that benefits Dayan is what Huang Ye is willing to do, and anything that is beneficial to Dayan and Huang Ye is what Ke Weiqing is willing to do.
However, after today, the distance between him and Huang Ye will become farther and farther, forming an insurmountable gap.Now that Huang Ye has a queen, he can no longer act recklessly like this, and his "male favorite" has come to an end.
The ministers will urge Huang Ye to give birth to an orthodox heir, and then make the queen's child the crown prince, everything will be on the right track, and the world will be in balance...
"Daddy! Let's go! It's so lively ahead!" Qing'er jumped up and down, tugging at Ke Weiqing's hand. The innocent child didn't know where he was going, so Daddy would no longer be able to stay in the palace.
"Well, Daddy's distracted." Ke Weiqing said with a smile, holding the youngest son Yan'er in her arms, and walked forward a few steps faster.In front is the Guanfeng Gate, walk out of this gate and turn left, about a hundred steps, is the square of Qinzheng Palace, where ministers and nobles gather.
In fact, palace music and human voices can already be heard from here, filled with joyous atmosphere, Ke Weiqing tried hard to restrain the pain in his heart, for Huang Ye, all this is worth it...
"My lord, please stay." Just in front of the Qilin gate in the square, a guard stopped Ke Weiqing.
"Yes. Please send your highnesses in." Ke Weiqing bowed.
"No, my lord." Unexpectedly, the guard clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Li has ordered you and your two highnesses to go to the West Palace and wait quietly."
"West Imperial Garden?" What are you doing in the Imperial Garden at this time?Ke Weiqing asked puzzledly.
"Yes. Please hurry up, my lord." The guard just urged.
"Daddy?" Qing'er looked up at Ke Weiqing.
"Let's go, let's go to the garden." Ke Weiqing took Qing'er and Yan'er to the opposite place of the main hall.
※※※
"Daddy, it's so dark in here!"
When Ke Weiqing and the others arrived at Xiyuyuan, it was completely dark.The emperor's big wedding had cumbersome ceremonies. During the day, he was almost devoted to offering sacrifices to the heavens, ancestors, and accepting worship from his subjects. Therefore, the actual ceremony was moved to the evening instead, and the banquet would be held all night long.
"Don't be afraid, Qing'er, Daddy is here." Ke Weiqing held Qing'er's hand tightly. If it wasn't for the bright moon hanging in the sky, the garden would be frighteningly dark.
"What's going on here? Why is no one coming to light the lamp?" Ke Weiqing wondered.When I came in just now, I didn't see any maids and guards.
Li Deyi wants the three of them, father and son, to wait in this remote and dark garden?
Just when Ke Weiqing was puzzled, he heard a loud bang of "Boom!", followed by a shriek of chi chi, thousands of bright golden flowers bloomed in the air, followed by bang bang!The golden flowers spread out and turned into bright silver stars!
"It's so beautiful! Daddy, look at it!" Qing'er was overjoyed, while Ke Weiqing stared dumbfounded at the fireworks that suddenly rose into the sky.
At this moment, in the winding corridor of the garden, a palace lady holding a golden lantern slowly walked in.Take a closer look, these hundreds of court ladies are actually connected end to end, forming a string of golden dragon dance lanterns.
Under the pavilions, the eunuchs used ropes to pull up the vermilion palace lanterns one after the other, and in just a moment, the lanterns hung high in a dark imperial garden, shining red.The fireworks are brilliant again, like meteors streaking across the sky, sprinkling a rain of gold and silver flowers, it is really lively and gorgeous!
"What's going on here?!" Ke Weiqing's face was full of surprise, and at the same time, the colorful fireworks were reflected.He looked up and looked above the rocky and towering rockery, where there was an octagonal pavilion with golden dragons hovering on the pillars, also known as "Wanglong Pavilion".
Huang Ye was standing in the pavilion, looking at the father and son in the garden, while Li Deyi was standing beside the emperor, bowing to accept the order. After a while, someone came down the mountain quickly, asking Ke Weiqing and the others to meet him.
Confused and a little uneasy, Ke Weiqing came to the brightly lit pavilion, but what he saw was a table of extremely sumptuous dishes—comparable to a wedding banquet.
There are two big red gold plates containing koji meat and elk meat, two red gold bowls containing double-happiness bird’s nest eight-treasure duck and double-happiness bird’s nest gold and silver goose, and another big silver plate containing fish carved with Jackie Chan, two red lacquer In Double Happiness's porcelain bowl was filled with emerald fish soup and white dew soup, and a bright red date...
The dazzling gold and red dishes on this table were all in pairs, which was of great significance. Ke Weiqing stood there, dumbfounded, thinking that the queen would come over for a drink.
"Looking at the delicious food on this table, Wei Qing, have you even forgotten to see me?" Huang Ye said jokingly.
"Ah, yes!" Ke Weiqing couldn't hide his embarrassment, and pulled the two children to kneel down, "I kowtow to see my emperor..."
"My son kowtowed to the emperor..." Qing'er also said seriously.
"Excuse me, you and I don't need to pay attention to these things when we are happy." Huang Ye said again, making Ke Weiqing even more confused.
"My lord, please take your seat." Li Deyi gestured for Ke Weiqing to take a seat, but Ke Weiqing glanced left and right before asking, "Where is the empress?"
"What queen?" Huang Ye sat down in a chair carved with a dragon's head armrest, and the maid beside him surveyed the wine for him.
"Empress of Dayan!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help but said, "At this time, should you drink with the empress at the Hexi Bar?"
"You really want me to drink with the empress and grow old together?" Huang Ye looked at Ke Weiqing with a half-smile.
"Weichen..." Ke Weiqing wanted to say yes, but found that his chest was constricted and he couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, you sit down. I will tell you what's going on." Huang Ye took Ke Weiqing's hand and told him to sit down. The two nuns embraced the prince and sat in the other two chairs to serve the prince. We dine.
The table full of delicacies attracted the attention of the children to some extent. Ke Weiqing looked at Huang Ye, wanting to know the answer.
"Tomorrow, Ying Qiantong will leave for Liang Country." Huang Ye said, but like a bolt from the blue, Ke Weiqing turned pale with fright.
"What? Just got married, and you two have conflicts?!" How can a queen run back to her mother's house on the first day of their wedding?Isn't it going to provoke a war between the two countries?Knowing that Huang Ye is used to self-willedness, but he didn't know that he was so reckless.
"No, she has completed her mission and returned home with honor, why not?" Huang Ye said, with a somewhat casual attitude.
"Your Majesty!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help standing up, "Do you know the consequences of your actions? King Liang..."
"Wei Qing, do you still remember my concubine mother?" Huang Ye interrupted suddenly.
"You said... Concubine Ping...?" Ke Weiqing didn't know why the emperor suddenly brought up this matter, this tragic princess who had been in the mood of revenge all her life.
"Well, in order to keep the Qinglu immortal, my mother married the emperor against her will, but she still couldn't stop Dayan's iron cavalry from invading Qinglu. I told Ying Qiantong about this story. Move her Liang Guo."
"what?"
"She actually begged me on her knees and asked me what to do? Can I stop my idea of attacking the Liang Kingdom?" Huang Ye said, "I said, then make a 50-year non-aggression covenant. Inside, the two countries will help each other and live in harmony and friendship, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven.”
"Princess agreed?" Ke Weiqing's heart hung up.
"Well. She is a smart person, and she will not repeat the same mistakes, and watch Liang Guo become Qinglu Kingdom." Huang Ye's black eyes shone brightly, and said in a low voice, "However, in the final analysis, she can't hide a word of love, and she doesn't want to be You hate it."
"What do you mean?" Ke Weiqing looked at Huang Ye.
"She said, you only have me in your eyes, so you can't see other people. Is this true?" Huang Ye stared straight at Ke Weiqing.
"Weichen—?!" Ke Weiqing opened his mouth wide in surprise, "No..."
"That's what I said too." Huang Ye smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to hold Ke Weiqing's wrist, "It took me two children to tie you by my side..."
"Your Majesty..." Ke Weiqing was not used to such a "confessed" emperor, and his disguise almost collapsed.He tried his best to suppress the pain in his heart and the urge to tell him his sincerity, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are those wedding ceremonies all fake?"
"Sacrificing to heaven and offering generous gifts are just some friendly gestures of friendship between the two countries." Huang Ye said, "Da Yan has one less queen and one more country with diplomatic relations. It is still very cost-effective."
"But your majesty, what a shock it should be if you do this..." Ke Weiqing said anxiously.Originally, when the emperor wanted to marry Princess Liang, there was a lot of turmoil in the court, but now it has become an oolong, I really don't know what will happen?
"If you want to take it, you must first give it." Huang Ye said suddenly while drinking.
"what?"
"Do you remember the art of war I taught you?"
"Of course I remember. Sometimes, you have to pay some price first to induce the opponent to relax their vigilance before you can find a chance of winning." Ke Weiqing said.
"Yes. But the art of war applies not only to the battlefield, but also to court struggles." Huang Ye said, but Ke Weiqing seemed to understand. Who is the enemy behind this scene?
——Shuolan?But didn't Huang Ye trust her very much?
"Okay. It's such a beautiful day, let's have a drink. There are several dishes here, which are made by you Wuque people."
"What?" Ke Weiqing was very surprised.
"Like this Shiba green emerald tofu soup." Huang Ye pointed to a plate of green tofu and said with a smile, "It's actually made with a kind of turtledove leaves and plant ash, can you believe it? It's so beautiful and delicious. "
Ke Weiqing looked at the plate of Qingxiang, but it was the first time he saw green tofu, and couldn't help feeling a little moved, it turned out that it was made by the tribe...
"These Wuque people were released from Shishan, and they will stay in the palace to cook. If you want to eat any hometown food, just tell them." Huang Ye said, took a spoonful of water tofu, and put it on the table. into the golden bowl in front of Ke Weiqing.
"emperor……"
"Fine wine and delicious food are the lives of gods." Huang Ye stopped talking about some troublesome things, let Li Deyi fill the gold wine glass tied with a red string, and insisted on drinking with Ke Weiqing once.
In front of the children, being so close to Huang Ye made Ke Weiqing extremely uncomfortable.It happened that fireworks were set off again, and the cannon exploded in the air, and the gorgeous colorful flowers illuminated most of the imperial garden. The children were screaming and jumping, and they were very excited!
"Miss Wei."
While everyone was watching the fireworks, Huang Ye stretched out his arms, put his arms around Ke Weiqing's waist, and whispered in his ear, "Don't forget, there will be wedding night later..."
Obviously, even if there is no queen, the bridal chamber for the big wedding has already been prepared.
"...!" Ke Weiqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally bit his lip.His cheeks were so red that it was too clear whether he was drunk or the light from the fireworks.
The sky in the afternoon was gloomy, and the pavilions and pavilions were shrouded in gray.Ke Weiqing dragged two and a half-year-old Qing'er with his right hand, and held Yan'er, who was still breastfeeding, with his left hand, standing on the winding stone bridge.
The guards and nurses all backed away a hundred steps away. The emperor had allowed Ke Weiqing to play with the children. It was no longer like before, where the wet nurses and eunuchs were staring at each other step by step.
"Daddy, fish! So many fish! Ah! It's gone!" Qing'er's face was plump, and when she smiled, the dimples were particularly conspicuous, just like the peach blossoms blooming in the imperial garden. like him.
Qing'er is also very playful, with a small pot full of bait hanging from her waist and a net bag in her hand, she throws herself on the stone railing. The fish come out from under the bridge and swim around. When they see Qing'er He hurriedly hid under the stone slab again.
"They're shy. Give the fish something to eat, and they'll come out to see you." Ke Weiqing reminded Qing'er with a smile.
"Okay!" Qing'er's tender little hands grabbed into the pot, took out a few handfuls of bait mixed with rice and glutinous rice flour, and threw it into it.
There were layers of ripples on the surface of the lake, and the fish opened their mouths to eat greedily. Nearly a hundred white or red carps and golden dragon fish surrounded them all at once.
"Father... Daddy... Huh...?!"
It is said that Yan'er and the emperor look exactly the same, as if they were carved out of the same mold, and they are very smart, and they can call people in just six months.However, whether he calls Huang Ye or Ke Weiqing Daddy, there is no difference.
"It's fish." Ke Weiqing said with a smile, telling him tirelessly, "Fish...a lot of fish, this is red, this is white..."
"Ah..." Yan'er babbled and stretched out her hand, catching the fish wandering in groups.
"My brother is so cute! Do you want a fish? My brother will catch it for you!" Qing'er, who had just settled down under Ke Weiqing's eyes for a while, boldly wanted to jump into the pond.You must know that he is still short, and he has to hold on to the railing when he goes up the steps.
"Your Highness!" Before Ke Weiqing could grab Qing'er, Jing Tingrui flew over, reached out his hand, and carried the little man away from the dangerous stone fence.
"Ruirui! I want fish! I'll catch fish for my brother!" Ke Qing'er was not grateful, and was still kicking and kicking in Jing Tingrui's arms, "You catch fish for me!"
"Yes! Your Highness."
Although it was beginning of spring, the lake was still bitingly cold, with thin ice floating on it.Jing Tingrui seemed to have no scruples, plunged headlong into the water with a splash, then used his clothes to make a net, quickly and accurately caught a red koi, and jumped onto the stone bridge again.
The cold wind was blowing, and Ke Weiqing couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. Even Huang Ye might not spoil Qing'er so much.
"Ruirui is great!" Qing'er was very happy, and Yan'er giggled as she danced at the koi carp, although he still didn't understand what was going on.
The fish got out of the water, fluttered a few times, and opened its mouth to inhale. It looked very hard. The drenched boy said to Qing'er, "The fish is just like His Highness, it misses Daddy, let's take it home .”
The boy put the fish back into the pond, and it slithered and disappeared.
"Did the fish go back...?" Qing'er lay on the stone fence again, staring at the colorful fish with longing eyes, full of reluctance, "The fish will come to play again."
"As long as Your Highness is obedient, eat and sleep obediently, the fish will come to play again." The young man said patiently in Qing'er's ear, with endless love in his eyes.
"Huh! Rarity hug me!" The child was a child, and she smiled again in the blink of an eye, clamoring for a hug.But Jing Tingrui was soaked from head to toe, and his hands were cold.
"Okay, go down and change your clothes." Ke Weiqing said to the boy.
"Yes!" Seeing that Qing'er stopped making trouble, Jing Tingrui nodded and backed away.
"What an interesting boy." Ke Weiqing couldn't help thinking, it's really not easy for Qing'er to be honest and obedient.
"Daddy! Look! There are ants!"
Qing'er really couldn't be idle, as soon as she turned her little butt, she went to see the ants. Ke Weiqing hugged Yan'er, and followed closely with other attendants.
Countless black mother ants wandered across the bridge on the stone slabs, like a well-trained army.
"The ants move because it's going to rain." Ke Weiqing murmured, "The rain will flood the low-lying places, so they have to move to the high places."
"Daddy, what about them? Are they moving too?" Qing'er raised her head and pointed to the opposite side.
Exquisite pavilions and pavilions are distributed along the mountain. There are about a hundred court ladies, like ants, carrying, carrying, and dropping new furniture and utensils, new mattresses and brocade tents, all of which are pasted with red double happiness, heading east go……
"No," Ke Weiqing replied softly, with endless bitterness in his heart, "They are decorating a new house for your father."
"What is a new house?"
"It's just..." Ke Weiqing didn't know what to say, and lowered his eyes, "It's for weddings. When you grow up, you will understand."
"Why do you have to grow up to understand? No... the baby needs to know now!" Qing'er grabbed Ke Weiqing's hand and shook it like a swing, "Daddy!"
"It's you and Yan'er... who will have a queen mother." Ke Weiqing said hoarsely helplessly.
"Mother's queen...?" Qing'er tilted her head, "What is mother's queen?"
"It is the mother of a country, and also your mother." Ke Weiqing looked at the magnificent team, "In the day after tomorrow, your father and emperor will hold a wedding ceremony, and Dayan will have a mother of the country by then, and everyone is looking forward to it... ...Queen."
"Hmm...?" Qing'er still half-understood, shouting, "Isn't the queen your father?"
"Who said that, Tongyan Wuji." Ke Weiqing smiled wryly, raised his hand and tapped Qinger's forehead lightly.
"Daddy..." Qing'er held her head aggrievedly. Of course, this is what the emperor said. He said that a country has an emperor and a queen, and the queen is the prince's biological mother or biological father. If you think about it this way, the queen is not the father. ?
"Master Ke! The Princess is here." A eunuch rushed to report.Ke Weiqing turned around in surprise, and saw Ying Qiantong, who was supposed to be very busy preparing the dowry, standing at the end of the bridge, slim and full of joy.
"Okay." Ke Weiqing nodded, "Meet you in the pavilion ahead."

The good news that Huang Ye was about to get married turned into bad news once it reached Jinyan Palace!Shuo Lan was so angry that she threw all the festive things in the palace, such as mandarin duck vases, lotus seed treasure boxes, and even dragon and phoenix brocade tents, out of the bedroom.
But whether she is sarcastic or angry, she can't stop the emperor from marrying Princess Liang, because the marriage is of great benefit to Yan and Liang.
What's more, the emperor, who has always been so repulsive, actually agreed. This made the princes and ministers happy before it was too late. How could they object?
Originally, Shuo Lan had already arranged everything, so that Fei Ying, together with nearly forty ministers whom she had wooed, jointly signed a petition to request the emperor to confer her as empress and make Yongfu his crown prince.Looking at Dayan Empress Palace, there are no women with a higher status than her, and a nobler status than her.However, a princess of the Liang Kingdom unexpectedly appeared on the way!
Relying on her noble background, Ying Qiantong insisted on marrying into Dayan!Shameless!
"I don't care what she is! She's not a shameless bitch!"
Shuo Lan wanted to see the emperor, wanted to attack with tears, and win Huang Ye's mercy, but Huang Ye avoided seeing him, which made her even more angry. Regardless of Yong Fu's presence, she cursed and smashed the vase, frightening Fu The son fell to the ground, crying for "Nurse", his little face turned blue from fright!
But no court lady dared to approach, someone wanted to coax the Second Highness before, but Shuo Lan slapped her away, saying that she came for a good show!
"Your Majesty, I will carry the Second Highness down to drink some milk." Nanny Li couldn't stand it anymore, and said desperately.
"It's useless! It only sucks milk! I raised you, but I didn't see you giving my mother some blessings!" Shuo Lan patted the child's head hard, but also cried out!
"My poor lady!" Nanny Li also cried, she thought she was on the same boat as Shuo Lan, if Shuo Lan suffered, would she still have a way out?Don't all those murders, frames and poisonings have to be exposed?
The emperor hasn't even skinned her!
Nanny Li quickly snatched the child away and comforted Concubine Lan Gui, "Your Majesty, the emperor saw you treating the Second Highness like this, so he will blame you..."
"Bah! Does he have blessings in his heart? He only knows Qing'er and Yan'er, by the way, that Yan'er...!" Huang Ye said, when the third prince was born, his complexion was ruddy, and he cried loudly, so he was named Yan. For fire, it also has the meaning of shining on the heaven.
Obviously, he loved his newborn son so much.
And Qing'er, when he was catching Zhou, Huang Ye smiled and said that Qing'er would manage officials in the future.Is it implying that he wants to make Qing'er the crown prince?These things tortured Shuo Lan's nerves, almost driving her crazy!
I thought that as long as she endured it, she would be able to endure it until the day when all the officials appeared on the table, but now it's all over!She can bring down Ke Weiqing, because he is just a male favorite, but Princess Liang, how should she deal with her?
Could it be that he just watched that stinky girl take the back seat?
No!can not be like this!She has endured humiliation for so many years, so she won't give up her position to others!
"Mother Li, take Fu'er away and clean it up...Let General Fei come." Shuo Lan stopped her tears suddenly, as if she was a different person, she walked to the bronze mirror stand, raised her eyebrows, swept over her temples, and mended makeup.
"Yes! Your Majesty." Li Nanny was startled in her heart.When Shuo Lan sent someone to kill Eunuch Zhao, she once said that only the dead would not block the way. Obviously, Concubine Lan Gui is going to make another ruthless move.
"Remember, let him go through the back door." At this moment, Shuo Lan looked completely new, with only the calmness and cunning of the past on her face...
※※※
The rain just started to fall, but it was getting colder in the pavilion. Yan'er was lying on Ke Weiqing's shoulder, already fast asleep, while Qing'er, under the care of the wet nurse, was eating crispy white sesame cakes, muttering: Thinking about something, Jing Tingrui stood not far from the gazebo, guarding them.
"Master Ke, you must find it very strange?" After taking a sip of hot tea, Ying Qiantong asked Ke Weiqing with a smile.
"Um?"
"I want to marry your sweetheart." Ying Qiantong looked into Ke Weiqing's eyes and murmured, "Am I trying to win love with a knife?"
"Princess……"
"Don't tell me that you don't love the emperor. I don't know what other people think, but you, Mr. Ke, from the moment I saw you, I knew that there was always someone in your heart - a person like me. A person who is impossible to reach in this lifetime." Ying Qiantong sighed softly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't let your son-in-law quit and insist on going back to Dayan."
"Princess! You promise me that you won't talk about it anymore! And you were still young at that time, so it's just a joke." At that time, King Liang paid a lot of money to keep him, and Ying Qiantong still held Ke Weiqing and insisted on marrying him. He almost became the son-in-law!
"Haha, what are you afraid of? You started arguing. By the way... I heard that the emperor is very jealous and domineering, and often punishes you?"
"...!" Ke Weiqing blushed immediately, and then turned his head, "It's nothing, the emperor is not that kind of person."
"That's good, I can't bear to marry such a jealous husband, ha ha." Ying Qiantong propped her chin with one hand and laughed.
"Why are you here today...?" Ke Weiqing said.After sitting for most of the day, Ying Qiantong either teased the children, or ate tea and chatted about the trivial matters in the palace. Seeing that the big wedding was about to happen, she was not in a hurry at all.
"In my heart... I have a little doubt, and I need your answer." Ying Qiantong blinked and said slowly, "Da Yan is getting stronger and stronger, and has the potential to annex the world. If I marry him, I can make Liang Guo It is also my duty as a princess to be spared, but... I am not very comfortable here."
Ying Qiantong pointed to her chest.
"Princess." Marriages with political goals are very common among the Ten Kingdoms, but Ying Qiantong is the only one who dares to act boldly and speaks out.
"I have never been able to forget you. Your eyes and your smile are so beautiful." Ying Qiantong became bolder, staring straight at Ke Weiqing, "Even if you are a witch, I don't care."
"Princess! Please be careful! You must know that walls have ears...!" Ke Weiqing reminded in a panic.
"I don't care. I'm going to get married anyway, and I have to say what I have to say, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I marry." Ying Qiantong was no different from a child when she started messing around.Thinking of her pretending to be a court lady and sneaking out of the palace, it is no less than ten times.Apparently, Emperor Liang's pampering had formed her character of being well-educated but also very self-willed.
"Princess, if you have any questions, I will answer them for you." Ke Weiqing said anxiously, "The emperor is a good man. He will know that you treat him well. You can rest assured about this."
If Huang Ye married Ying Qiantong, she would take on the responsibility of being a husband. Ke Weiqing knew this very well, so it was even more painful.
"Hehe, I want to ask you," Ying Qiantong said, "do you hate me?"
"what?"
"Do you hate it?" Ying Qiantong asked again.
"No." Ke Weiqing shook his head, "I don't hate you. Before, now, and in the future."
Ying Qiantong is much better than Shuo Lan as Dayan's queen.Ke Weiqing believed that Ying Qiantong would treat Huang Ye well.
"Okay!" Ying Qiantong stood up and said shyly, "With your words, I feel relieved. Also, don't think that I married the emperor just for the sake of Liang Guo. Although... it was like this at the beginning, But your sweetheart is really different, and can capture the hearts of your daughter's family very well."
"Princess, it would be great if you think so." Ke Weiqing said softly.Compared with her own broken heart, Huang Ye's happiness is the most important thing.
"Yes, as long as you don't regret it." Ying Qiantong seemed relieved.
"Since I decided to follow him, I have no complaints or regrets in my life..." Ke Weiqing smiled slightly, hugged Yan'er tightly in his hand, stood up, and sent the princess away.
※※※
The emperor's marriage was grand and grand, and various ceremonies were arranged early.
First of all, it was Dayan who sent gifts to the Kingdom of Liang. This mighty guard of honor, nearly 5000 people, connected end to end, sent golden and silver knives, armor, gold-painted porcelain plates, and silk and satin. , and dozens of carriages filled with exotic treasures such as coral and ivory.
Secondly, the team that Dayan sent the "Da Zheng Li" was even more brilliant, with 300 taels of gold, 3 taels of silver, a golden phoenix, a silver unicorn, a thousand feet of golden silk satin, and five hundred thousand-mile horses. The Jedi were sent to Liang Guo.
After the ceremony, the emperor will formally marry Princess Liang. However, since the princess lives in the Dayan Palace, the ceremony in this aspect should be simpler. There is no need to trek across mountains and rivers to welcome the bride, but it is also very grand and the whole country Celebrate.
On the day of their wedding, Ke Weiqing and his son put on brand-new colored brocade robes, the collars were deep red, embroidered with golden patterns, the cuffs and hem were decorated with red Robe fringes, and the waists were inlaid with silver chrysanthemum and white jade belts.Gold flowers and silver ornaments echo each other, shining brilliantly and extravagantly.
Ke Weiqing also wore a golden silk-carved phoenix crown on his head, which was fixed with green jade hairpins, making his chiseled face even more mature and handsome.
Although the little prince is wearing a crown, he is wearing a red wreath, which is the same as his father's attire, which makes them more eye-catching. Their innocent smiles are so cute that they make people's heart burst!
Dressed up like this, the three of them really looked like a family of immortals. The maids and nuns who were near the attendants couldn't move their eyes, they just stared at them, almost missing the auspicious time.
That's all for the child, Ke Weiqing felt that he was dressed so gorgeously, it was too much, you must know that he was neither a high-rank concubine, nor an important minister wearing a boa robe, according to the etiquette system, he was not qualified to stand in the hall and participate in the ceremony. Grand wedding ceremony.
He is only responsible for sending the children to the hall.But Li Deyi said with a smile, this is the emperor's wish, let him accept it with peace of mind, after all, the emperor only has one big wedding, and all countries will send envoys, so you can't lose face.
Too.Ke Weiqing's mood darkened again.Rumors that Emperor Dayan had a male favorite had spread all over the world. If he dressed plainly and was rude to others, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Huang Ye?
"As long as the emperor... is happy to get married." Anything that benefits Dayan is what Huang Ye is willing to do, and anything that is beneficial to Dayan and Huang Ye is what Ke Weiqing is willing to do.
However, after today, the distance between him and Huang Ye will become farther and farther, forming an insurmountable gap.Now that Huang Ye has a queen, he can no longer act recklessly like this, and his "male favorite" has come to an end.
The ministers will urge Huang Ye to give birth to an orthodox heir, and then make the queen's child the crown prince, everything will be on the right track, and the world will be in balance...
"Daddy! Let's go! It's so lively ahead!" Qing'er jumped up and down, tugging at Ke Weiqing's hand. The innocent child didn't know where he was going, so Daddy would no longer be able to stay in the palace.
"Well, Daddy's distracted." Ke Weiqing said with a smile, holding the youngest son Yan'er in her arms, and walked forward a few steps faster.In front is the Guanfeng Gate, walk out of this gate and turn left, about a hundred steps, is the square of Qinzheng Palace, where ministers and nobles gather.
In fact, palace music and human voices can already be heard from here, filled with joyous atmosphere, Ke Weiqing tried hard to restrain the pain in his heart, for Huang Ye, all this is worth it...
"My lord, please stay." Just in front of the Qilin gate in the square, a guard stopped Ke Weiqing.
"Yes. Please send your highnesses in." Ke Weiqing bowed.
"No, my lord." Unexpectedly, the guard clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Li has ordered you and your two highnesses to go to the West Palace and wait quietly."
"West Imperial Garden?" What are you doing in the Imperial Garden at this time?Ke Weiqing asked puzzledly.
"Yes. Please hurry up, my lord." The guard just urged.
"Daddy?" Qing'er looked up at Ke Weiqing.
"Let's go, let's go to the garden." Ke Weiqing took Qing'er and Yan'er to the opposite place of the main hall.
※※※
"Daddy, it's so dark in here!"
When Ke Weiqing and the others arrived at Xiyuyuan, it was completely dark.The emperor's big wedding had cumbersome ceremonies. During the day, he was almost devoted to offering sacrifices to the heavens, ancestors, and accepting worship from his subjects. Therefore, the actual ceremony was moved to the evening instead, and the banquet would be held all night long.
"Don't be afraid, Qing'er, Daddy is here." Ke Weiqing held Qing'er's hand tightly. If it wasn't for the bright moon hanging in the sky, the garden would be frighteningly dark.
"What's going on here? Why is no one coming to light the lamp?" Ke Weiqing wondered.When I came in just now, I didn't see any maids and guards.
Li Deyi wants the three of them, father and son, to wait in this remote and dark garden?
Just when Ke Weiqing was puzzled, he heard a loud bang of "Boom!", followed by a shriek of chi chi, thousands of bright golden flowers bloomed in the air, followed by bang bang!The golden flowers spread out and turned into bright silver stars!
"It's so beautiful! Daddy, look at it!" Qing'er was overjoyed, while Ke Weiqing stared dumbfounded at the fireworks that suddenly rose into the sky.
At this moment, in the winding corridor of the garden, a palace lady holding a golden lantern slowly walked in.Take a closer look, these hundreds of court ladies are actually connected end to end, forming a string of golden dragon dance lanterns.
Under the pavilions, the eunuchs used ropes to pull up the vermilion palace lanterns one after the other, and in just a moment, the lanterns hung high in a dark imperial garden, shining red.The fireworks are brilliant again, like meteors streaking across the sky, sprinkling a rain of gold and silver flowers, it is really lively and gorgeous!
"What's going on here?!" Ke Weiqing's face was full of surprise, and at the same time, the colorful fireworks were reflected.He looked up and looked above the rocky and towering rockery, where there was an octagonal pavilion with golden dragons hovering on the pillars, also known as "Wanglong Pavilion".
Huang Ye was standing in the pavilion, looking at the father and son in the garden, while Li Deyi was standing beside the emperor, bowing to accept the order. After a while, someone came down the mountain quickly, asking Ke Weiqing and the others to meet him.
Confused and a little uneasy, Ke Weiqing came to the brightly lit pavilion, but what he saw was a table of extremely sumptuous dishes—comparable to a wedding banquet.
There are two big red gold plates containing koji meat and elk meat, two red gold bowls containing double-happiness bird’s nest eight-treasure duck and double-happiness bird’s nest gold and silver goose, and another big silver plate containing fish carved with Jackie Chan, two red lacquer In Double Happiness's porcelain bowl was filled with emerald fish soup and white dew soup, and a bright red date...
The dazzling gold and red dishes on this table were all in pairs, which was of great significance. Ke Weiqing stood there, dumbfounded, thinking that the queen would come over for a drink.
"Looking at the delicious food on this table, Wei Qing, have you even forgotten to see me?" Huang Ye said jokingly.
"Ah, yes!" Ke Weiqing couldn't hide his embarrassment, and pulled the two children to kneel down, "I kowtow to see my emperor..."
"My son kowtowed to the emperor..." Qing'er also said seriously.
"Excuse me, you and I don't need to pay attention to these things when we are happy." Huang Ye said again, making Ke Weiqing even more confused.
"My lord, please take your seat." Li Deyi gestured for Ke Weiqing to take a seat, but Ke Weiqing glanced left and right before asking, "Where is the empress?"
"What queen?" Huang Ye sat down in a chair carved with a dragon's head armrest, and the maid beside him surveyed the wine for him.
"Empress of Dayan!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help but said, "At this time, should you drink with the empress at the Hexi Bar?"
"You really want me to drink with the empress and grow old together?" Huang Ye looked at Ke Weiqing with a half-smile.
"Weichen..." Ke Weiqing wanted to say yes, but found that his chest was constricted and he couldn't say anything.
"Forget it, you sit down. I will tell you what's going on." Huang Ye took Ke Weiqing's hand and told him to sit down. The two nuns embraced the prince and sat in the other two chairs to serve the prince. We dine.
The table full of delicacies attracted the attention of the children to some extent. Ke Weiqing looked at Huang Ye, wanting to know the answer.
"Tomorrow, Ying Qiantong will leave for Liang Country." Huang Ye said, but like a bolt from the blue, Ke Weiqing turned pale with fright.
"What? Just got married, and you two have conflicts?!" How can a queen run back to her mother's house on the first day of their wedding?Isn't it going to provoke a war between the two countries?Knowing that Huang Ye is used to self-willedness, but he didn't know that he was so reckless.
"No, she has completed her mission and returned home with honor, why not?" Huang Ye said, with a somewhat casual attitude.
"Your Majesty!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help standing up, "Do you know the consequences of your actions? King Liang..."
"Wei Qing, do you still remember my concubine mother?" Huang Ye interrupted suddenly.
"You said... Concubine Ping...?" Ke Weiqing didn't know why the emperor suddenly brought up this matter, this tragic princess who had been in the mood of revenge all her life.
"Well, in order to keep the Qinglu immortal, my mother married the emperor against her will, but she still couldn't stop Dayan's iron cavalry from invading Qinglu. I told Ying Qiantong about this story. Move her Liang Guo."
"what?"
"She actually begged me on her knees and asked me what to do? Can I stop my idea of attacking the Liang Kingdom?" Huang Ye said, "I said, then make a 50-year non-aggression covenant. Inside, the two countries will help each other and live in harmony and friendship, and those who violate it will be punished by heaven.”
"Princess agreed?" Ke Weiqing's heart hung up.
"Well. She is a smart person, and she will not repeat the same mistakes, and watch Liang Guo become Qinglu Kingdom." Huang Ye's black eyes shone brightly, and said in a low voice, "However, in the final analysis, she can't hide a word of love, and she doesn't want to be You hate it."
"What do you mean?" Ke Weiqing looked at Huang Ye.
"She said, you only have me in your eyes, so you can't see other people. Is this true?" Huang Ye stared straight at Ke Weiqing.
"Weichen—?!" Ke Weiqing opened his mouth wide in surprise, "No..."
"That's what I said too." Huang Ye smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to hold Ke Weiqing's wrist, "It took me two children to tie you by my side..."
"Your Majesty..." Ke Weiqing was not used to such a "confessed" emperor, and his disguise almost collapsed.He tried his best to suppress the pain in his heart and the urge to tell him his sincerity, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are those wedding ceremonies all fake?"
"Sacrificing to heaven and offering generous gifts are just some friendly gestures of friendship between the two countries." Huang Ye said, "Da Yan has one less queen and one more country with diplomatic relations. It is still very cost-effective."
"But your majesty, what a shock it should be if you do this..." Ke Weiqing said anxiously.Originally, when the emperor wanted to marry Princess Liang, there was a lot of turmoil in the court, but now it has become an oolong, I really don't know what will happen?
"If you want to take it, you must first give it." Huang Ye said suddenly while drinking.
"what?"
"Do you remember the art of war I taught you?"
"Of course I remember. Sometimes, you have to pay some price first to induce the opponent to relax their vigilance before you can find a chance of winning." Ke Weiqing said.
"Yes. But the art of war applies not only to the battlefield, but also to court struggles." Huang Ye said, but Ke Weiqing seemed to understand. Who is the enemy behind this scene?
——Shuolan?But didn't Huang Ye trust her very much?
"Okay. It's such a beautiful day, let's have a drink. There are several dishes here, which are made by you Wuque people."
"What?" Ke Weiqing was very surprised.
"Like this Shiba green emerald tofu soup." Huang Ye pointed to a plate of green tofu and said with a smile, "It's actually made with a kind of turtledove leaves and plant ash, can you believe it? It's so beautiful and delicious. "
Ke Weiqing looked at the plate of Qingxiang, but it was the first time he saw green tofu, and couldn't help feeling a little moved, it turned out that it was made by the tribe...
"These Wuque people were released from Shishan, and they will stay in the palace to cook. If you want to eat any hometown food, just tell them." Huang Ye said, took a spoonful of water tofu, and put it on the table. into the golden bowl in front of Ke Weiqing.
"emperor……"
"Fine wine and delicious food are the lives of gods." Huang Ye stopped talking about some troublesome things, let Li Deyi fill the gold wine glass tied with a red string, and insisted on drinking with Ke Weiqing once.
In front of the children, being so close to Huang Ye made Ke Weiqing extremely uncomfortable.It happened that fireworks were set off again, and the cannon exploded in the air, and the gorgeous colorful flowers illuminated most of the imperial garden. The children were screaming and jumping, and they were very excited!
"Miss Wei."
While everyone was watching the fireworks, Huang Ye stretched out his arms, put his arms around Ke Weiqing's waist, and whispered in his ear, "Don't forget, there will be wedding night later..."
Obviously, even if there is no queen, the bridal chamber for the big wedding has already been prepared.
"...!" Ke Weiqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally bit his lip.His cheeks were so red that it was too clear whether he was drunk or the light from the fireworks.
