In the main hall, Yan Jin was fuming. Wei Zhao had been here for several days. He knew clearly what the other party wanted to do, and he really felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't be angry. I received a letter from King Chu seven days ago. I naturally know what to do and what to say."
Yan Chen smiled and said, this time is undoubtedly a good opportunity. If things happen this time, it will definitely give King Chu a face. He only hopes that they can live in harmony in the future.
"I just feel that it is really shameless to be disliked by such a person in the past! I will give this tone no matter what!"
Yan Jin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Wei Zhao didn't want to mention the original engagement, so he just suppressed it. She didn't have to marry him.
I didn't expect that he would dare to come and mention the engagement. It was clear that he didn't take himself seriously. He would forget about it when he didn't need it, and he would come here shamelessly when he needed it!
"There are ways to vent your anger. He has already reached this point. Naturally, he is at the mercy of others!"
Yan Chen also felt sorry for his sister. Anyway, given this opportunity, he would definitely let out all his bad energy.
When Yan Jin went out, his hand was still on the whip on his waist. He planned to go to his palace to give a good crack of the whip later. Who would have thought to see a green figure in the imperial garden?
This person is very unfamiliar. Could he be someone from Wei Zhao's side?
Seeing that this man looked quite good, with a tall and straight posture, and his face was very handsome even from such a distance, Yan Jin raised his eyebrows, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He took his hand off the whip on his waist and changed direction and walked towards the imperial garden.
Xiao Qi had already seen Yan Jin's arrival, but he pretended not to see it. He was focusing on the flowers that were blooming in front of him.
"Who are you? Judging from your clothes, you are not from the Yan Kingdom. Could it be that you are someone from Prince Wei Zhao's side?"
Yan Jin raised his head high and asked condescendingly. Anyway, the prince of Wei is just a title. He is willing to entertain them with good food and drink, just to give them face.
"To return to the princess, Xiao Qi is indeed someone close to His Highness, but he has been disturbed by something in the past few days."
Xiao Qi quickly turned around and saluted respectfully to Yan Jin. He was wearing blue clothes today and his posture was as tall and straight as a bamboo.
"What's up?"
Yan Jin stared at Xiao Qi's face carefully, with a satisfied smile on his lips. Wei Zhao was not that good, but the people around him looked pretty good!
"Your Highness did something wrong when you were young and ignorant. Now you want to make up for it, but you consciously don't have the face to make up for it. I am someone close to His Highness, so I want to help His Highness solve his problems, but after thinking about it, I still can't think of a solution. .”
Xiao Qi said helplessly. He glanced at Yan Jin quickly just now and thought that the princess looked pretty good, but her temperament looked fierce. No wonder His Highness disliked her so much.
Men all like weak and obedient women. This Princess of Yan Kingdom is really a bit fierce, but now is not the time to care about this at all. No matter what she looks like, she must be pleased.
"You did something wrong when you were young and ignorant, and now you want to make up for it?"
Yan Jin thought he heard it wrong, so he repeated it loudly, the sarcasm in his tone was so sharp.
Xiao Qi was a little unaccustomed to the fact that a woman could be so arrogant in front of him, especially with such sharp words. The women of Yan State were indeed much more fierce.
"Does he want to make up for it?" Yan Jin suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Okay, I can give him a chance to make up for it."
"Is what the princess said true?"
Xiao Qi raised his head in surprise, half-convinced. He never expected that Yan Jin would be so easy to talk to, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Of course it's true. I can give him a chance to make amends. As long as he can give me what I want, then my grudges with him will be wiped out, and I will also help him say something nice in front of Brother Wang! "
Yan Jin suddenly took a step forward and got closer, his tone became exceptionally soft, and he stared straight at Xiao Qi with his eyes.
Women in the Yan Kingdom don't have so many rules. Whoever you like is what you like. Her brother-in-law can have many concubines, and she can naturally have many doting husbands.
Xiao Qi was surprised and happy. He didn't expect Yan Jin to be so easy to talk to, but he was also a little uneasy. What did she want?
…
In the hall, Chu Xiao was sitting on one side and drawing with a brush. She had no talent for drawing. She only saw how other people drew and followed her example. She wanted to draw a peach blossom, but she didn't know how to draw. How about it.
Chu Xiao was dealing with affairs, and he looked up and glanced at the people around him from time to time. He felt cute when he saw the other person biting his lip and not knowing how to write.
After wasting the third piece of paper, Taoyao realized that she really didn't have the talent for painting. Even if she could just cast a spell to conjure a flower, it would still be good.
Her real body is a peach blossom in full bloom. I tried to draw a peach blossom, but the result was that it didn’t come out well.
"What's going on here?"
Chu Xiao suddenly appeared behind him, reached out to hold her hand, and dipped some pen and ink on it. He could tell that he wanted to draw a peach blossom, so he grabbed her hand and drew a few random strokes, and the outline of the peach blossom was vaguely visible. Changes have occurred.
"Amazing!"
Tao Yao smiled and said, she didn't expect that the painting with just a few strokes would look pretty good, at least much better than what she painted herself!
"It seems like you like peach blossoms very much?"
Chu Xiao continued to hold Tao Yao's hand and sketched the appearance of Tao Yao one stroke at a time.
"Yes!" Taoyao smiled and nodded, "I think peach blossoms are the most beautiful flowers in the world!"
But no, my own body is peach blossom, how could I not like peach blossom!
Chu Xiao held Tao Yao's hand and finished painting one stroke at a time, with peach blossoms blooming one after another under the pen.
Taoyao took the finished painting and looked at it with satisfaction. It was indeed good.
"I heard that Wei Zhao went to Yan State and received hospitality from Yan State. Did Your Majesty know about this?"
Tao Yao asked curiously, Chu Xiao must know.
"This matter is all under my control. I believe King Yan also knows how to choose. No matter what happens, Gu will not involve you, as long as you stay by my side obediently!"
Chu Xiao reached out and hugged Tao Yao into his arms again. He had always felt that men's affairs did not need to involve women, and he was sure that he could handle many things by himself.
"I just feel that Wei Zhao is really unworthy. As the prince, he was the first to raise his head and run away. Now that the days are gradually passing and the lives of the people are slowly calming down, does he want to stir up trouble again?"
Tao Yao said disdainfully that the power of the Wei state was indeed exhausted, the king of Wei was mediocre, and the prince was so incompetent that he really could not stand up.
"Don't worry, I have already signed a letter with King Yan, and I will never provoke another war. Peace is the most important thing."
No one wants to have war every day. The people don't want it, and he doesn't want it either. War means there will be casualties and people will die.
"Okay, I believe you."
Tao Yao leaned her whole body in Chu Xiao's arms, feeling very lazy.
Hong Luo had just brought out a bowl of chicken soup from Ming's kitchen. Before she could take a few steps to feel it, someone pushed her behind her. She fell to the ground unprepared and the chicken soup spilled all over the floor.
When she looked back, she found two slaves in palace clothes. The two quickly squatted down to help her, and when they were close, they whispered a few words in her ears.
"Please also ask Concubine Wei to save my mistress. My mistress is Princess Mingwan. She is imprisoned in Hanyu Palace. She has been ill for a long time. His Highness Prince An has been coveting her for a long time. We have no choice but to come find her." Concubine Wei! In order to avoid attracting attention, I can only use this method, I'm sorry!"
The two palace ladies quickly helped her up and left quickly, for fear of being noticed by others.
"Princess Mingwan?"
Hongluo rubbed her red palms. She remembered that Princess Mingwan was raised in the Wei Palace in the past, and she had met her princess several times.
When the King of Chu came in, he was merciful to his female relatives. The young ladies who were in the palace that day were also rescued. If the princesses were safe, they could be well taken care of in a house.
I just said that King An coveted the princess, so I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
"Mingwan?"
When she went back, Hongluo quickly explained the matter clearly. In her impression, Mingwan was a very gentle woman. If she could help, she would help!
"Mingwan's parents have passed away long ago. Her father thought she was pitiful and approached the palace to raise her, but he didn't pay attention to her later. On the day when His Majesty invaded, he did not kill the female family members. It should be Or live in her Hanyu Palace?"
Tao Yao recalled carefully that Wei Shu could not take care of herself and had no ability to help others.
Mingwan has been pestered by King An. The Kingdom of Wei has already died. Her status as a princess is useless. What's more, the King of Chu has made the decision. How can she dare to report her brother's case to the King of Chu?
In the end, her choice was surprisingly the same as Wei Shu's, and she could only commit suicide.
"The people around the princess did say that she is still in Hanyu Palace and that she is sick. Princess, should you send a few imperial doctors to take a look first?"
Hong Luo worriedly said, in fact, if the princess had not won His Majesty's favor, I am afraid her life would not be any better than Princess Mingwan.
"It's natural," Taoyao nodded, "It's better that I go and see her in person tonight."
Tao Yao couldn't bear to see a human life lost like this. If it could be saved, it would be saved.
"But does the princess want to talk to your majesty about this matter? Does your majesty really make the decision? His Royal Highness Prince An is your majesty's younger brother, so your majesty should be facing him?"
Hong Luo didn't have much hope in this matter at all. What could the princess do if she was entangled with such a person? Who could save her?
"That's not necessarily the case. Your Majesty and Prince An are not brothers from the same mother. What's more, Prince An may not have his own selfish motives. I'm sure I can handle this matter. Don't worry. I'll leave it to the kitchen later. Make some delicious food and send them over."
Tao Yao looked at Hong Luo and gave her instructions carefully. In fact, the fates of Wei Shu and Ming Wan were very similar. In this world, they were just weak women. Without a big tree to cling to, they would not be able to survive at all.
But this is not their fault at all.
"yes!"
Hongluo nodded quickly and went to the kitchen to order someone to cook something delicious.
Hanyu Palace.
"Ahem..."
A woman who looked very thin was half leaning on the palace man, while another palace man was crying and giving her medicine.
"No, I can't drink."
Mingwan waved her hands and didn't want to drink any more. This medicine was really bitter, but it wasn't of much use. These imperial doctors would just follow the wind and not prescribe medicine carefully. These medicines weren't of much use.
"Princess Princess..."
Xinfu put the bowl aside distressedly and wiped the corners of Mingwan's mouth with a handkerchief.
Now I really don’t know how to live this day. After the chaos in the palace that day, the princess was frightened and fell seriously ill. The imperial doctor was unwilling to prescribe some good medicine, so she kept delaying it.
Not to mention that King An unexpectedly fell in love with the princess at some point. This was really a disaster from heaven!
