fifteenth quarter moon

Chu State Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the courtiers stood up straight.

The Emperor Chu said, "Prince, how are you preparing for the reception banquet for the mission from the country?"

Prince Chu Linchuan said: "My father, everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the mission from the country."

Emperor Chu said: "This is the Prince Li's visit. You must be careful in entertaining people, and you must not lose your face....But you said that Nalan Xianyue's younger brother is also in the mission?"

Chu Linchuan "Reporting to my father, there are eight members of the visiting delegation this time, and Nalan Xianzhi is among them."

Emperor Chu: "Alright! Let these two brothers get together?"

Chu Linchuan: "No!"

Emperor Chu: "The second prince didn't come to the court?"

Everyone was silent, everyone knew that Chu Linye never went to court.

Chu Linchuan said: "I would like to report to my father, my second brother and my ministers have been very busy preparing for the reception of the mission these few days. I went to investigate again this morning, so I didn't come early."

Chu Huang said: "That's the case, the two of you brothers will be in charge of the visit of the embassy from the country."

"promise!"

After the morning court, Emperor Chu went directly into the imperial study.

The old eunuch brought out the refreshments that had been prepared!

Chu Huang said: "Is there any news about the secret investigation?"

The old eunuch said: "The message has just been delivered!"

The old eunuch handed an unopened envelope to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu took it, opened the envelope, and opened the letter inside. There were dense handwriting inside!After reading it, Emperor Chu was stunned for a long time, and then tore up the note.

"Your Majesty, the empress is waiting outside!"

"I know, back off!"

After a while, Emperor Chu got up and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.The empress has been waiting outside the hall.

Chu Huang said: "How is the Queen's injury?"

Queen: "It's almost done."

"The banquet for the visiting mission from abroad must be carefully prepared, and there must be no mistakes."

"The concubine understands!"

Emperor Chu walked ahead without saying a word, and the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming for an unknown period of time.

"The emperor has been away for a long time, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to rest!"

"Alright!"

In the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, a maid brought freshly brewed tea.

"This is His Majesty Dahongpao who just paid tribute this year!"

Chu Huang raised his teacup, just about to drink it, but suddenly put it down again.

"What's wrong, it doesn't taste good"

Chu Huang said: "It's not that the tea is bad, but that I don't have the desire to drink tea."

The queen was silent, she knew that at this time she just had to wait quietly.

"I always thought that my decision would not be wrong, but it seems to be different now!"

"Your Majesty's decision must be made after careful consideration, so how could it be wrong!"

"You don't know! I actually personally buried a scorpion that could explode at any time in my Dachu! At first I thought it would be used to control that tiger, but I didn't expect him to be a lion that cannot be domesticated."

"Then why didn't His Majesty let the lion go?"

"Now I can't let go even if I want to!"

How could the queen not understand, the lion the emperor mentioned was naturally Nalan Xianyue and the tiger was naturally Nalan Jincheng, Nalan Xianyue's father.Thinking about Nalan Jincheng's achievements and prestige back then, it was not ordinary.

The Queen said: "No matter how fierce this lion is, it will always have its weaknesses."

Awakened by a word, Chu Huang looked up at the queen.

The delegation from the country finally arrived at Xuanyang City. It was rare that the [-]th day got up the earliest. Nalan Xianyue was still lying on the bed when it arrived at Yinshi. Lan Xianyue was much more excited.

Nalan Xianyue looked at his busy figure, amused and helpless: "Fifteen, don't worry, it's still dark, come here!"

Fifteen said: "I'm worrying for you, my brother is so calm after not seeing him for so many years!"

Nalan Xianyue patted the place beside the bed and said, "Come here!"

"Oh, no matter, it's always been like this. You were also like that when I came down from Baiyun Mountain. You looked so noble that you didn't like to talk to me. If I hadn't been thick-skinned, I'd have been scared away by you long ago!" Fifteen was still very cooperative and sat on the edge of the bed.

"At that time I..." At that time, even Nalan Xianyue didn't know what he was like, he only knew that he saw Shiwu shaking in front of his eyes, and he was happier than anyone else.Fifteen Days has been driving for several days without rest, knowing that the fifteenth day is coming, why don't I not sleep without rest!

"Well, fortunately, I know that my brother is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so I don't care about you!"

"I also know that Shiwu is a hot person inside and out..."

"That's... well, can't you say something serious?"

"This is the truth, how unscrupulous, I think you are unscrupulous! You can't wear clothes well, but you want to seduce your husband?"

Fifteen lowered his head, only to realize that he was only wearing a thin nightgown and one side of his collarbone was exposed, and the belt of his underwear hadn't been fastened. Then he remembered that he was a little too nervous just now. "hehe!"

Nalan Xuanyue hugged Shiwu and lay down on the bed, and Shiwu lay on Nalan Xianyue's strong chest.

"Fifteen are you nervous?"

Fifteen tried to break away from Nalan Xianyue's hands, but a certain person's hands were too long, and he tightly circled himself and said: "You are not nervous, why am I nervous!"

Nalan Xianyue narrowed her eyes and stared at Fifteen

"Oh! Well, I'm really nervous." Fifteen finally compromised and admitted.

"It's okay, I'm here!"

"Tell me, if Xianzhi knew that his brother was married in Chu State, how would he feel if he married a man?" This was what Shiwu was most worried about.

"Of course I have to call you sister-in-law!"

Fifteen frowned, "I'm a man, how can I call my sister-in-law!"

"I'm his eldest brother, so the person my brother marries should naturally be called my sister-in-law!"

"That's the theory, but... But you told them about our marriage?"

"It's a big deal, they should know!"

"Then, the prince also knows?"

"You should be called Father King!"

"Um...then how did they say it!"

"I didn't say anything, why, I'm afraid they don't like you?"

"Hey!" Fifteen lay down next to Nalan Xianyue, "How many people would accept two men together! But fortunately, my fifteenth heart is strong enough to not care about these things."

"Sleep a little longer! It's still early, and I'll call you when the time comes!"

"Alright! I'm really sleepy all of a sudden!"

"Go to sleep!" Nalan Xianyue thought, after being tossed around for so long last night and getting up so early now, anyone would be exhausted!How could he bear to make his people so tired!Turning over and hugging Shiwu, the two fell asleep peacefully again.

Fifteen was not the only one who couldn't sleep in the long night, the lights in the room in the inner courtyard of Tongji Hall were brightly lit all night.

Lu Xiao thinks that the reason why he became friends with Nalan Xianyue is just because he admires Nalan Xianyue's calmness and his extraordinary intelligence and wisdom.After meeting Nalan Xian, he unexpectedly discovered that he and Nalan Xianyue were the same kind of people.

The acquaintance with Nalan Xian can be regarded as a fate. If Lu Xiao has nothing to do, he will go to some small towns to see and treat people. In fact, the main purpose is to find some precious local medicinal materials, and Li Guo is often in a In the state of war, Nalan Xianzhi was upright and impulsive when he was young. He was seriously injured in the battle with the army. Nalan Xianyue knew about it. A letter from a flying bird sent Lu Xiao to heal him. At first, he was reluctant, but he went after that time. The person is back, but the heart stays there.Later, I always thought of an excuse to visit others.But there has never been a chance, after all, he also has a famous doctor in Liguo, and Nalan Xianzhi has become a lot more disciplined after the injury, so Lu Xiao doesn't even have an excuse to see him.Now that he has come in person, how can Lu Xiao not be excited!

It was already bright, and Shiwu was lying on the bed looking at Nalan Xianyue, still making a sound of envy from time to time.

"I don't know whose elder brother is, he looks so good-looking!"

Nalan Xianyue glared at Fifteen and threw the robe to Fifteen: "Put it on quickly."

"I don't want to go!"

"Why! Wasn't he very active a few hours ago, why is it..."

"I, I just want to stay warm on this bed with my brother until I dry up!"

"Forget it, if you don't want to go, you can stay in the room, and I will go with Beichen and the others."

Fifteen immediately got up and quickly picked up his robe and put it on.

Seeing him in a hurry, Nalan Xianyue walked over to help him straighten his robe, fasten his trouser pockets, and fasten his belt.

Fifteen enjoys this feeling of being served, and smells the unique fragrance of Nalan Xianyue's body, and his heart is warm.

"elder brother....."

"Um....."

"But you have to prepare to go back to the country with them?"

"I have to prepare to go back to leave the country, but not with them."

"Xianzhi and the others took advantage of this visit to take you back!"

"That's according to the plan, but do you think your husband and I still need them to pick us up or wait for the Emperor Chu to release us?"

"That's not necessary. With your skills, it doesn't matter where you go."

"So it's not that important whether the Emperor Chu agrees to let me leave Chu!"

"If Emperor Chu knew that you ignored him so much, he would be so angry that he would blow his beard and stare."

"Oh! I can't help but see you all, how can I put other people in!"

"Then when are we going to leave Chu?"

"Wait until Xianzhi's visit is over!"

"Then again, if they didn't come to pick you up, what did they come for?"

"You forgot, we still have an aunt in the palace, but this visit does have an important purpose!"

"Can you tell me?"

"Of course, have you heard of the Battle of Fuxian 20 years ago?"

Fifteenth said: "Of course, the battle between Chu and Li, and you came to Chu after that battle."

Nalan Xianyue said: "That's right, Liguo lost in that battle too badly, my mother died in that battle, and Fuxian was also occupied by Chu State."

"That place is now called Fuyang, and it is included in the territory of Chu State!"

"That's right, it's not Liguo's land anymore, it used to be my mother's hometown. That's why she's on guard!"

"The purpose of the mission is to return to this city?"

Nalan Xuanyue nodded.

"It's not easy to go back to the city!"

"No matter how difficult it is, you still have to try."

Fifteen "That's true!"

Nalan Xianyue stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go, let's wait for them at the gate of the city!"

Fifteen also reached out to hold Nalan Xianyue.

"Is this robe specially chosen for me by brother?"

"Well, do you like Fifteen?"

"The same as the crescent moon, of course I like it."

Beichen and Beiling were already waiting outside the door, and when they saw Nalan Xianyue and Shiwu, their eyes lit up.He was wearing a white robe with dark patterns embroidered with silver silk thread that just reached his ankles, and he was wearing a pair of white cloth boots. His hair was simply tied up, so he looked very much like the young man who went out to play.Nalan Xianyue was still as gentle as jade and extremely handsome.
