King's Landing GL

Chapter 22 Love and Hate

Back to the palace, as soon as I arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, I asked the palace servant Murong Bai where he had gone.

The palace people said that Murong Bai was still dealing with government affairs with the ministers in the imperial study, and she told me that if I came back, I should go take a shower and change clothes first.Then go to the imperial study to find her.

When I arrived at the imperial study, I happened to meet a few ministers who had just come out of it. It was a coincidence that they were polite again.

When I entered the imperial study room, Murong Bai was sitting on a chair reviewing the memorial, she didn't raise her head when she saw me, and said calmly:

"came back."

Consistent declarative tone.

"Yeah." I nodded and found another chair to sit down.

As soon as my butt touched the chair, I heard the lonely woman ask me:

"Have you met Xiang Yao?"

I froze for a moment:

"Who?"

"...Princess Chu."

"No, I haven't seen it before." I shook my head, wondering why Murong Bai would ask me this.

Murong Bai nodded, and didn't speak again.She was always so quiet, sitting upright and reviewing the memorial.I was afraid of disturbing her, so I found a place far away from her and sat down, waiting for her quietly.

In fact, most of the time, Murong Bai and I were relatively silent.

I am silent because I like her.Young and reckless, I see things clearly, but I am afraid that I will say something that will hurt her, so I have no choice but to keep silent.

She was silent because she didn't know how to treat me.Her temperament has always been so cold, she will not show favor to anyone.Probably because of guilt, many times she just let me go.

It took me many years to understand.Why do I always keep a close distance from Murong Bai, why no matter how hard I try, I can't get into her heart.It turned out that she was using me and was ashamed of me, so she couldn't let go of everything and face me.When I was young, I didn't understand her situation, and I just chased her on my own.

I understood later, but it was too late.

Because we can't go back.

In my whole life, the most serious mistake I made was that I only regarded Murong Bai as Murong Bai. As a young man, I never saw the existence of Qin Guoguo in my eyes.

It's a pity that I understand too late and love too early.

After about an hour, the sky was already dark.Murong Bai just finished handling today's official duties and stood up.

"Let's go." She walked up to me and said to me.

I stood up obediently, and followed her steps to the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the dinner party has begun." Li Dequan saluted us as soon as we left the door.

"En." Murong Bai nodded, and then he took me and a group of palace people to the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the dinner was held.

Hall of Supreme Harmony

Hall of Supreme Harmony, well, I know.

After all, the wedding with Murong Bai was held here last time, including this time, I have only been here twice.The two identities before and after are different.

I looked calm but my heart was filled with awe as I watched His Highness and all the officials saluting to me and Murong Bai, I was so happy in my heart.Suddenly, I feel that there is nothing wrong with marrying the king of a country.Although the fierceness is a bit fierce, but at least I have earned the face - of course, the premise is that I don't know what kind of image I am in the eyes of the people of Qin.

"Everyone loves you, keep yourselves down." Murong Bai said to the ministers who were saluting.

Li Cheng, sit down.

Don't ask me what the banquet was about, who was seated, and what I didn't say!I do not even know!

Because after the dishes were served, my eyes never left the table.I'm not saying that, since the state of Qin became rich in the early years, it has lived a very good life...Look at the dishes on the state banquet, tsk tsk...

Let me eat first...

I was eating happily when I suddenly felt a cold light.I looked up and saw Murong Bai sitting next to me looking at me with a cold expressionless face.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at the people in the hall who were singing and dancing, and then turned my head to look at Murong Bai.I thought about it, could it be that I ate too much and snatched this woman's food, so she was upset? —Unfortunately, I only guessed the former.

So I thought wisely and distributed some food to Murong Bai. Although I looked reluctant, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt that I couldn't compete with this woman who must revenge, so I might as well follow her wish.

Seeing me push the food to her, Murong Bai's expression turned a little colder.

I was surprised when I saw this, doesn't she like to eat roast suckling pig? !

So I pushed my favorite chicken in front of her with an apologetic smile on my face.

In the end, she still didn't accept my love... This bitch is really difficult to serve, I must clean her up some other day!

"Very hungry?" Murong Bai asked me in a cold voice with a straight face.

My face was full of smiles, and outsiders thought we were flirting.But I know that the tune—there is.Love - there is no such thing.

Because when I nodded to express my affirmative answer to her words, she, a shameless woman, replied to me like this:

"Then eat more, so as not to pass out at night."

My face turned pale, and I growled at her:

"Are you going to be ashamed? You actually told me dirty jokes in public!"

She glanced at me, then took a sip of wine, and said lightly:

"Aren't you very 'hungry'? I'm afraid you're 'hungry' and faint. Is it wrong for you to eat more?"

"..." Do you want to emphasize the word "hungry" so much...

You are hungry!Your whole family is hungry!

I was treated so well by Murong Bai, and I no longer cared about food.I had no choice but to watch the singing girls dancing in the main hall, but it didn't matter. When I found two familiar figures inside, I broke out in cold sweat.

Who can tell me... when Zong Qi and Lin Lang hooked up and sneaked into the palace.

My face turned pale in an instant, I wasn't worried about what Lin Lang would do, I was just afraid that that foolish Zong Qi would do something to me, last time she left me a big red lip mark I suffered from Murong Bai's air-conditioning for several days.This time I'm married to Murong Bai, if she does something thought-provoking, I don't think I can even see the moon tonight...

Sure enough, I was really afraid of something, that shameless Zong Qi dared to walk up to me with dancing steps, and even made an invitation gesture.

My face is green!Although she is wearing a mask, I swear Murong Bai already guessed who she is, because Murong Bai's cold light almost killed me...

Just when I was in a stalemate with Zong Qi, Murong Bai stood up suddenly, followed Zong Qi's invitation and led her into the dance floor.She danced lightly.

The state of Qin pays attention to elegance, etiquette and music, and everyone from the royal family to the common people can dance and play musical instruments, so it's no big deal for Murong Bai to dance on the dance floor.

But not for me...

This is the first time for me to see Murong Bai dancing, tsk tsk... Her black robe is very obvious in the crowd, and her beautiful figure is reflected in the moonlight dancing, which makes people forget.

She is really my good junior sister...

I stared blankly at the graceful Murong Bai, and remembered a poem in my mind:

There are beautiful women in the north

peerless and independent

Alluring City

Look at the country again

......

After a dance, everyone praises it.

Murong Bai still had a calm face, she walked to me and took a look at me, then sat down.

"..." Needless to say, I know I offended her again...

"I have known for a long time that the King of Qin is capable of both civil and martial arts, and today I saw him is really extraordinary." A woman about sixteen or seventeen years old stood up and said to Murong Bai, "Xiang Yao has met the King of Qin, the lord."

So this is Princess Chu?Interesting, I looked Xiang Yao up and down, um, she looks like a princess.It's just a little strange that I always feel like I've seen her somewhere, with a sense of intimacy.

"Princess, you are being polite." Murong Bai said flatly, "Princess came to Qin today, and Qin hosted a small banquet, I hope the princess will not laugh at you."

"Your Majesty is very polite." Xiang Yao saluted and continued, "Yao, I came to Qin today to see your eldest son Shan Hanfei."

Yo, this girl is straightforward.

Murong Bai didn't speak.

"Dan Hanfei, I've met Princess Chu." Shan Hanfei, who was sitting at the banquet, stood up now, and saluted Xiang Yao.

Hearing the sound, Xiang Yao looked at Shan Hanfei.

I have to say that although Shan Hanfei looked weak, he still looked like a dog anyway.So Xiang Yao met him.Did not say anything.

"Present a letter to the state." After a long pause, Xiang Yao spoke to her servants.

After a while, the palace servants who came with her presented King Chu's letter of credence in front of Murong Bai.

Murong Bai opened it and took a look, she probably thought it was expected, so she didn't say anything.Then he took out the national seal and stamped it, and handed it back to Xiang Yao.

After confirming, Murong Bai pulled me up, then raised his glass and said to everyone:

"Qin, will marry Chu! Great Qin's eldest son, Shan Hanfei, will choose a good day to marry Princess Xiang Yao of the Kingdom of Chu!"

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Just like that, amidst the congratulations, the marriage was considered settled.

The next day, I woke up very early in the morning, yawned and left the palace gate, I lowered my head and thought about things all the way.The marriage between the Eldest Princess of Chu and Shan Hanfei is almost settled, which means that the time for me to clean up this mess for Murong Bai is not far away.Looking back, since I came to Qin, I haven't lived a few days of peace and stability, and I haven't even been to a brothel. Murong Bai, Murong Bai, you should treat me better!

When I arrived at the place, I looked up at the golden words "Single Prince's Mansion" on the gate, and felt uneasy again.Compared with my vertical mansion, this mansion is really...too extravagant, right?Even though I am the king of the Qin Kingdom, you make me so poor, Murong Bai, Murong Bai, how displeased are you with me?

"Who is here?" The guard at the door saw that I was about to enter, so he stepped forward and asked me.

I had no choice but to show them the badge Murong Bai gave me.

"I have seen His Majesty Wangjun! All blessings, Your Majesty!"

For some reason, they suddenly fell to their knees.It's broad daylight, it feels... so cool!

I cleared my throat and put on a gentle look:

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I smiled and nodded.

After a while, the butler from the mansion came out to welcome me, and I said to the butler:

"There's no need to mobilize people like this, I'm here to find Shan Hanfei."

Don't ask me why I didn't come to Shan Zhenlin, just kidding!I'm sure they're only here in the morning, okay?Shan Zhenlin is undoubtedly an old fox, I don't want to confront him so early.

"The eldest son is in the study, I will call you now."

I waved my hand and said:

"No, just take me there."

"promise."

I have to say that Prince Shan's mansion is really big. I followed the butler around the mansion for a long time before arriving in front of Shan Hanfei's study. Someone came to disturb me, after thinking about it and ordering him to do something, I paused at the door again before walking in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shan Hanfei wearing a dark blue robe, with a delicate face like a jade crown, sitting in front of the desk and chair in a daze.

I walked around behind her gently, looked at the word "Xiang Yao" written on the rice paper on her desk, and her stupid appearance, my heart sank:

Didn't this kid fall in love with that eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom?

Thinking of this, I couldn't hold back my face, so I coughed lightly twice.Shan Hanfei was so scared that his face turned pale. When he saw it, he hurriedly got up from his chair and saluted me:

"Wang... Wang Jun... Your Majesty? You... how... are you here..."

I nodded and helped her up.With a serious look on his face:

"What are you thinking about?"

"No... nothing..."

I sighed, found a chair and sat down, and said to Shan Hanfei:

"Did you meet Princess Chu last night?"

"See... I've seen..." she said with a blushing face.

When I saw her look like she had never seen a woman before, I felt angry!Why is this man acting like an idiot?Just mentioning that princess made her face blush.It's really... useless...

It seemed that she was really interested in that princess.

I smiled kindly and asked her:

"Have you ever liked it?"

"..." She blushed and said nothing.

I laughed three times in my heart, why is this child so innocent?

"She is your fiancee, and she should like it. Don't worry about it."

"Go back to Your Majesty Wang Jun, Han Fei will remember..." She nodded with a blushing face.

I laughed:

"You and I are about the same age, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Returning to His Majesty Wangjun, the courtesy of a monarch and a minister is indispensable."

I just had to let her:

"It's up to you. By the way, this time Princess Chu will come to live in Qin for half a month, and I have given her orders. She lives in a mansion that is not far from your mansion. If you have nothing to do these few days, you can spend more time with her." She gets along well. Although you are married, the king and I hope that you can get along better."

"Thank you, my lord." Shan Hanfei saluted.

"Well, I will leave for Chu State in early May, and the Ministry of Etiquette will take care of the wedding. It is your father, you should spend more time with him," I said earnestly, "He is just a son like you... .”

"Han Fei knows." She lowered her head, and there was not much emotion on her face.It seems that her relationship with Shan Zhenlin is not very good?

no?Isn't Shan Hanfei the only son of Shan Zhenlin?

Just thinking about it, the butler knocked on the door and saluted:

"Your Majesty, Eldest Prince, Your Highness Princess Chu is here."

Shan Hanfei was startled, his whole body became stiff.Compared with her, I am much calmer, because I called that person.

Hahahahahaha~

I turned my head and said to Shan Hanfei, with a serious look on my face:

"Go, go and meet people together."

"promise......"

main hall

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Xiang Yao in a bright yellow dress. I don't know why I always feel familiar with her.Before she recovered, she heard her melodious voice resounding in the hall:

"Xiang Yao has met His Majesty Wang Jun." She bowed to me with a faint smile on her face.

I smiled and nodded.

And Shan Hanfei behind me has been feeling awkward and embarrassed ever since he saw Xiang Yao.

I'm really upset, why is she being embarrassed? !

He's even less promising than me! ! !

The more I look at Shan Hanfei like that, the worse I feel, isn't she just a bitch?Why is it so shy and worthless after meeting?I've managed to subdue a woman as attractive as Murong Bai, but this kid is so much taller than me, why isn't he half as smart as me?

So I just had to say:

"I don't know if the princess is used to coming to Qin Ke?"

Xiang Yao smiled dignifiedly and generously:

"It's okay, but I'm not very familiar with this royal capital yet."

"What's so difficult?" I laughed, "Why don't I find a local person for Her Highness to accompany the princess around?"

"Will it be too much trouble?"

"No." I said politely, pushed Shan Hanfei beside me, and said to Xiang Yao, "I think Zhongwei is quite suitable."

Xiang Yao smiled lightly and said:

"It's time for Master Lao Shi."

Other girls have said that, but this Shan Hanfei couldn't hold back his fart for a long time, so he knew that he would look at other princesses with a blushing face.That idiot, does Murong Bai have a head?How do you let this kid marry?She doesn't have the demeanor of my Da Qin Shizi at all!

Look at him like that!As soon as I saw Xiang Yao, I was eager to follow others and go home. Even if you are married, you have to have some backbone, right? !Can you learn from me? !

I was also deeply intoxicated seeing Shan Hanfei's worthless appearance, so I had no choice but to come forward and accept this matter.He worriedly asked the housekeeper to make preparations, and then he sent a shy and awkward eldest son and a glamorous and noble princess out of the mansion, and let them wander around to cultivate their relationship.

After I was done, I was left from Prince Shan's Mansion. After all, I still don't want to see that old fellow Shan Zhenlin.

After I walked around the street twice, I suddenly remembered that the mad woman Su Yu was still at the house.Although I just met her yesterday, she seemed to have something on my mind, so I decided to meet her.Seriously, I miss her.

When I arrived at the mansion, I asked the housekeeper about Su Yu's whereabouts. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard my good junior sister shouting at the throat:

"This round doesn't count! Let's do it again!"

The other voice is from my good uncle:

"Zongqi, don't be shameless! Did I teach you that?"

"My master is Liu Rufeng!"

"Hmph! Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked."

"..."

I walked over with a black face, the two women were indeed gambling...

"You are..."

Before I finished speaking, Su Yu said impatiently:

"Get out of the way, block the old lady's light!"

"..." I opened my mouth, but was interrupted by Zong Qi:

"That's right, brother, what are you doing there?! I'll lose as soon as you come! Can you have a little insight?!"

"..." What does it matter to me if you lose? !

I looked at these two people with a face so dark that it couldn't be darker, and I deeply felt that I was rejected.

So I retreated to the main hall, thinking that these two people will be able to see me after a while?But I was wrong.

Because when the two of them came out of the backyard to eat at noon and saw me sitting in the main hall, the surprise on my face made me feel very relieved.She finally found her conscience!

"Brother, why are you still here? Does the palace care about food? Why are you still lazy here?"

"..." Calm down.

"Aren't you kicked out?" Su Yu asked me, "Could it be that you are the one below?"

"What?" I didn't respond.

I saw Zong Qi folded his hands up and down very cooperatively on the side, and moved up and down twice, and then explained with a very wretched smiling face:

"The next one, senior brother, you understand."

I don't fucking understand!

I said angrily:

"Will your elder brother and I be overwhelmed by her Murong Bai?! Are you just pretending to be fools!"

Su Yu leaned aside and said leisurely:

"I heard that the girls from rich and noble families don't like that?"

"..." I argued, "Murong Bai is not a girl!"

"Tut tsk tsk tsk..." Zong Qi applauded me, "Senior brother, you are really energetic, dare to say that your wife is also the king of Qin, I really respect you!"

"..." I didn't want to say anything.

I felt that I probably couldn't beat these two women, so I made a decisive decision not to stay in Zongfu for lunch.But it was this decision that provoked a round of ridicule from these two people:

Su Yu: "Oh, it's different when we get married. I don't even know how to have a light meal with the elders. Hey..."

I:"......"

Zong Qi: "That's right, this person is just being mean. Once you have a good life, you forget the past."

I:"......"

Su Yu: "Forget it, how can we keep others?"

Zong Qi: "Oh, uncle, don't be angry..."

Su Yu: "How could it be?! Animals are free, let alone humans?"

......

I stood there and listened to the accusations and scolding of the two women for more than half an hour, and I was not allowed to leave or stay.I just listened to them scolding me so quietly, and even when I was hungry, I had to make amends to both of them.It's not that I'm afraid of them. In Guigu Mountain, these two have been working hand in hand since they were young.I can't fight!

I am such an innocent person, compared with them who are too old monarchs, I am afraid that I will really not have the confidence to survive in this world.But at any rate, the two scolded and scolded, and finally finished their meal.It took me another laugh to send the two fairy grandmothers back to the room.I found the butler to warm up some leftovers for me, and I left Zongfu after eating.

I honestly feel like shit is growing in my head to come here for scolding.

"Uncle Master," Zong Qi called out to the person beside her after watching me leave.

Su Yu turned his head to the side and said lightly:

"how?"

Zong Qi looked at Su Yu's face, spun a lot of words around his mouth a few times and then choked back.Just one question she wanted to ask the most:

"Have you ever hated senior brother?"

That's right, she really wanted to know if Su Yu ever hated her senior brother.After all, the friendship between the two of them back then...but now they are so relative and silent, is it really the fault of time?

Su Yu froze for a moment, then smiled again:

"Never."

Yes, she never hated that man.Even when she saw that person married someone else and then told him many love words that she had never heard before, she never hated him.

Why should you hate?

Why should she hate?How could she be willing?

Hearing this, the tip of Zong Qi's nose turned red, and he almost burst into tears.She has been close to Su Yu since she was a child, and she knows best how much her senior uncle likes senior brother.The world said that Su Yu was born wandering all his life, but how did they know the nostalgia in his eyes whenever his uncle saw his elder brother?

She was fortunate to have seen the most beautiful smile of her uncle, after that noon three years ago.When the uncle was wearing the blood-red gown given to her by her favorite person, he was married to the senior brother.That smile is so beautiful.

She had the misfortune to have seen the bitterest smile of her uncle in that evening three years ago.When the uncle was wearing the red robe she had when she was overjoyed, she heard about her senior brother's condition and the consequences of his treatment.That smile hurts so much.

"Master Uncle..." Zong Qi sighed, "Get out of here..."

Su Yu chuckled, but his tone was a bit more lonely:

"Even you think... should I go?"

Why, everyone, wanted her to leave?

She can't talk about love anymore, why should she be deprived of the right to wait?

"It hurts so much..." Zong Qi opened his mouth, unable to say anything else to comfort Su Yu.

"Heh..." Su Yu smiled, still a seductive smile, "At least I can still see her."

"..."

Yes, it's good to see you.

She has already lost it once, and she never wants to have it again.Although... she is no longer hers...
