Xi Liu recognized his voice, it was someone from King Xi's side.
"Your Majesty, please come over."
Sure enough, he still had to be called over alone to have another talk... Although Xiliu had expected it, he just didn't expect it to be so soon. Didn't he just come back from his place? But there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to agree, but saw that the father-in-law was still standing in front of the door and asked, "What else can I do?"
The father-in-law smiled and said softly: "The king said that you should bring this girl with you."
Xiliu sighed inwardly, ah... Yanwu, this talkative woman... doesn't study marching and fighting properly, and just spreads gossip in this palace every day...
Xi Liu looked at Wujiang, not knowing how to speak. He saw the father-in-law outside the door and smiled again, thinking: His Highness, who has been absent from the palace all year round, is really nothing like King Xi in this respect. I remember back then, when the King of the West pursued the Queen so blatantly that the whole city noticed. At that time, he had been king for many years, but the throne had been vacant, and there was no woman around him. The aunts and father-in-law in the palace, the generals and tutors in the court, and other officials and military officers were worried and worried. He recommended many women of the right age, and the ring was fat. Yan Shou was good at writing or dancing, but was rejected by the King of the West until one day he met the current queen on the street in the east of the city.
At that time, she was still a commoner woman named Chiyu, dressed in white and graceful. She was holding a silver-white sweat-blooded horse and wandering around the luxurious Xixuan city, as if she was the king of this rich, rough, lively and noisy royal family. The only touch of tranquility and tenderness on the streets.
It's heartwarming.
However, there happened to be such an ignorant dandy who violated the tranquility. He beat a horse and galloped through the crowded streets of Xixuan, knocking down street stalls and passers-by. Just when an old man was about to be injured by the horse's hoof, Dressed in white, she stood up gracefully, grabbed the horse's bridle under the crazy hooves, and jumped onto the horse's back. Her movements were natural and smooth, and she subdued the crazy horse effortlessly. She sat on the horse's back calmly, like a girl from the Western Territory. The ethereal cold plum blossom on Nanshan Mountain.
Just that one glance made Xi Yan chase him from the bustling streets of Xixuan to the deep mountains of Barbarian Frontier. During the days when he was not in the palace, the aunts and father-in-law in the palace, the generals and masters in the court, and other civil servants and generals were worried and distressed. The whole of Xixuan knew that their Western King was chasing the queen, and they looked up every day. Wait, finally one day I saw two people riding horses side by side on the streets of Xixuan. They were tall and majestic in purple clothes, and graceful in white clothes. The whole country was celebrating in Xixuan.
The laughter and laughter still seemed to be floating in my father-in-law’s ears.
"Let's go then." Just when His Highness was in a dilemma, the girl next to him spoke first.
"Yes." The father-in-law smiled brightly. He liked such a cheerful woman, "Girl, please come this way."
Walking through the courtyards and alleys, the Xixuan Palace was not very magnificent. Instead, it was lined with ancient trees, rockeries, and luxuriant flowers and plants. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came to a house called "Wei Shi".
"Your Highness, please."
Compared with the overall rough style of Xixuan, this room is decorated in an elegant and ethereal style, with a few cold plum trees and a few strands of gauze. As the door is opened, the gauze flutters gently.
Entering the house, Wujiang saw a man and a woman talking and laughing, pointing to something spread out in front of the jade table and talking intimately. The man was tall and tall, with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows, giving people a sense of power without anger. The woman next to him had a tall figure. He is tall and has a beautiful face. Although his clothes are not very luxurious, the expression between his eyebrows makes people feel that he is both elegant and inviolable.
Wujiang once heard at the Fufeng Teahouse that the late Emperor Xi Yan came to the throne at a young age. He managed the government at a young age and supported the dynasty alone. When he was seventeen years old, he went on a personal expedition to save the northern territory from the violent waves and supported the building from falling. Even though he had already ascended the throne. More than ten years old, but actually only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, very young. She was quietly sizing up the legendary King of the West when she suddenly heard the person next to her shout: "Brother Wang, Sister-in-law Wang."
Brother Wang? Sister-in-law Wang?
Wujiang was slightly surprised.
When the father-in-law called His Highness Xiliu just now, Wujiang felt strange. That day at the Fufeng Tea House, she heard from everyone that the King and Queen of the West had no heirs and seemed to have no brothers. So where did this "His Highness" come from? In a place like Xixuan, all the royal relatives and relatives with some status and reputation were picked up, not to mention the "royal brother" in front of him who was first-class in appearance and martial arts?
He seemed to appear out of nowhere, and so far has not been known to anyone outside the palace walls.
While she was thinking wildly, the person next to her seemed to see her frown, and suddenly came closer and whispered: "Don't be nervous, they are actually very amiable."
...I'm not nervous.
The two people who were rated as "affable" by Xiliu walked out from behind the table, smiling.
"Miss Chuiyan, please take a seat." Queen Chiyu sat down next to Wujiang in a graceful manner, and started to talk about her family, "Our Xiliu didn't cause any trouble for the girl, right?"
"No, I caused him trouble, and he helped me a lot." Wujiang thanked him sincerely.
Chiyu held Wujiang's hand very naturally: "This child Xiliu is used to being wild. Girl, please help us take care of him in the future."
...Wujiang didn't know how to answer the conversation. He was stunned for a moment. Xiliu immediately stepped in from the side and said, "Hey, Sister-in-law Wang, can't you say something nice about me?"
Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, our Xiliu young talent can read at the age of three, compose poems at the age of four, play with guns at the age of five, practice swordsmanship at the age of six, kill tigers at the age of seven, capture lions at the age of nine, He knows astronomy and geography, and is proficient in the Five Elements and Bagua at the age of ten. He is truly a scholar, a master of martial arts..."
"Sister-in-law Wang, sister-in-law Wang, you can just brag about it." Xiliu was happy, but couldn't help but interrupt her, "You are too exaggerated..."
There was still commotion here, and a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded over there: "Have you really thought about it?" As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent instantly, and the atmosphere became inexplicably heavy. Xi Yan looked at Xi Yan with complicated eyes. Liu, "You have been on the mountain for twenty years, and now you have come down. I wanted you to stay in the palace for a longer time."
Xiliu lost his playful expression: "I know what Brother Wang means, but I have lived in the palace for a few days. The Western Border is so vast that Xiliu has lived in one corner for the past twenty years and has never been to anywhere else. This time he went down the mountain. I want to travel more places, so Xiao Wu goes to the front line this time, and I just happen to follow him to see the world."
Xi Yan frowned deeply and did not speak, but the majesty formed by sitting high in the hall for many years made him exude an intimidating aura even if he remained silent.
Xi Liu stood up, bowed respectfully to Xi Yan, and said sincerely: "Thanks to Brother Wang's hard work over the years, Xi Liu can be carefree in the mountains. Now I should share some of the burden with you."
Wujiang didn't know if it was her imagination. After Xi Liu said this, she seemed to see a thin layer of mist in the eyes of Xi Yan, the young emperor.
It appears quietly and then disappears suddenly, as if it had never appeared before.
