"How wonderful it is for me to play the pipa and for you to dance! If life is complete, that's it!" He placed his hands on her beautiful black hair. The soft and delicate hair glowed with a faint fragrance in the dim hall. Glossy, when you lift it between your fingers, it has already fallen down smoothly.
"Thinking of the past, I have known you for twenty years and worked with you for nearly ten years. From playmates to lovers to husband and wife to relatives, over the years, the world has changed, but you have remained the same," he said, turning his wife's face Holding it, he leaned down and kissed her lips.
She stood up, put her arms around his neck and said, "Mr. Lang, it doesn't matter what the future is like, whether it is difficult or dangerous, bitter or sweet, I will always be by your side, and I will never leave you even if I die."
As she spoke, she looked into his eyes again, which were already filled with joy. He held his hands again, and she leaned into his arms, cuddling tightly under the plain curtain.
"I remember what I said to you by the river more than ten years ago. At that time, I fell down, and you cried and wiped your tears and pulled off a strip of cloth from the skirt of my skirt to bandage my wound. At that time, When I was young and didn’t understand love, I thought to myself that it doesn’t hurt me, so why are you crying?”
"At that time, you replied, "Your body doesn't hurt, but my heart hurts." That sentence made my heart suddenly sting. It turned out that I was young and unaware, but you had already taken me into your heart. . "
She smiled, held his hand and said, "Then my husband said that he would protect me for the rest of my life and build a big house here when I grow up, and we will stay together for the rest of our lives."
"My childish words have come true. You are my only wife, Wanyan Wulu."
The two of them cuddled together like this for a long time. When the candlestick wax had burned out, he gently placed his sleeping wife on the couch, then inserted her soft hands into the quilt, and gently touched her eyebrows with his fingers. Then he kissed her forehead again.
Lifting his legs and getting out of bed, he gently opened a bookcase drawer in front of the desk, and took out a long box covered with light yellow brocade. He then opened the coffin box and found a white jade belt lying inside. He looked at the whole body and the front. There are six jade plates on the jade plate. The back plate is arranged in a square shape, each with a belt hook for easy connection. The lower layer has a belt made of leather. If you look closely at each jade plate, you will see that the color is bright and the carvings are different. "Shuanglong Opera" "Pearl" is the widest jade plate in the middle, followed by "Single Dragon Stepping on Clouds", and then there are various Ruyi patterns on each plate, including strange flowers and strange treasures.
He couldn't help but think that in the former Song Dynasty, jade belts were only for the monarch, and other ministers could only wear gold, silver and rhinoceros belts. However, for the monarch, jade belts were also treasures. Now, the treasure that his father had finally obtained was about to be sacrificed. He was a little hesitant, but in the end, he remembered what his wife had just said, and he made up his mind to present the jade belt clearly.
He stood alone on the bed and took another look at his wife. She was pregnant with hard work, and her face looked a little bad. Her haggard face stood still under the tent, which suddenly hurt his heart. He also said to himself: "For the sake of my wife and children." , Wanyan Wulu, you must be careful."
It happened to be a happy event. Just one month ago, the second concubine Zhao gave birth to a daughter for the emperor, the seventh daughter of the emperor. The daughter was pure and beautiful, exquisite and lovely. The emperor loved her very much and named her Jialing. , when the princess was full moon, the emperor summoned several royal ladies to attend the princess' full moon banquet. Wanyanyong also brought the white jade belt, hoping to find an opportunity to present it to the emperor.
There were only four brothers' families in the house, and even the emperor's married daughter and his family, there were only ten seats in the house.
I just looked at the emperor in the middle seat, with the back on the right, the emperor's concubines in small seats next to the back, and the ministers and family members of the outer chamber on the left. Because Mingxuan was pregnant, Wanyanyong brought Zhang Qinli over, and the two sat in silence.
The dancer's sleeves were rising and falling in Taichung. Suddenly, a lady came to the emperor with a swaddled baby in her arms. After the emperor took it, he had no intention of looking at the dancer again.
"Jia Ling, Jia Ling, come and smile!" He put his fingers between his beloved daughter's palms and teased her.
"Daddy, I want to hug my seventh sister!" It was the seven or eight-year-old sixth princess who was standing next to the emperor. She looked at her beautiful little sister and wanted to hug her.
She had never held a child before, so she followed the guidance of her sister-in-law, first hugging her shoulders and then her hips. She lowered her head and saw her sister laughing a few times and then babbling, so she said, "Daddy, Seventh Sister wants to talk!"
After hearing her childish words, everyone laughed. The emperor pinched her cheek and said, "Not yet! How can you speak after only three or four months!"
"Dad, when will that wait? I will
, when did you call me daddy and mama! "
The emperor turned back and glanced at the queen and said, "It seems that Liu Ya didn't call her daddy until she was one and a half years old!"
"Yes, it is indeed one and a half years old! At that time, Concubine Xian was dying of panic when she saw that she was one year old and could not speak. The imperial doctor could not find out the reason. The only time she called her daddy in surprise was at His Majesty's birthday party."
The Sixth Princess pursed her lips and blushed and said, "My dear, I'm going to tell you something scandalous. I came here to celebrate my father's birthday. I want to give him a surprise!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, and she delicately handed the seventh princess to the emperor and returned to her place. The emperor looked at her with a blushing face and said angrily: "This girl is my sixth daughter. She is an unforgiving master. We will see which young master will be unlucky in the future!"
"Then when I grow up, I won't leave the country. I will stay with my father all my life and bother my father!"
The childish words, cuteness and cuteness made the emperor happy. The emperor greeted the seventh princess for a long time, looked at the singer dancing in front, and talked and laughed with the ministers. For a moment, the emperor looked at his beloved daughter sleeping soundly in his arms, and then ordered his sister-in-law to carry her down. He stood up, twisted his waist and legs, lifted the silver ring on the table and said, "I'm going to take a nap in the back hall. Please do as you please."
After he finished speaking, everyone stood up and bowed their heads. Wanyan Yong also said to Qin Li beside him: "Madam, just wait a moment, the lonely king will come as soon as he leaves."
He led a group of waiting people to carry the treasures and then walked all the way to the back hall. The emperor had already closed the door and undressed in the room.
"Your Majesty, King Yong wishes to see you!"
Just as the emperor was about to get on the bed, he heard the Daxing Guo Bao and said in surprise: "Oh? Why didn't you talk about it at the banquet?"
"I don't know, I don't know. Maybe there are some things that cannot be discussed on the stage."
"Come on, let him in!"
Wan Yanyong walked in and bowed first. Then the emperor called him to sit down and gave him a seat. Then he sat down on a chair beside him. The emperor looked at his peaceful expression, stretched out his arms, and put the silver ring in his hand again and again. The beads on it kept spinning.
"Wulu, why do you want to worship?"
"I'm disturbing my brother's nap, but I'm here to offer you a treasure!"
"A few days ago, I and my wife were cleaning out the old king's old warehouse and sorted out many old things. Among them, I pried open a lock box and found this thing to my surprise. I didn't dare to say anything or keep it when I saw it. , so I took this opportunity to meet the emperor in person to present this treasure!"
Only then did the emperor become more interested. He sat up and put his legs down. He waited for someone to present the coffin to Daxingguo, who then opened it and presented it to the emperor.
When the emperor saw it, his face was bright, his eyes were like copper bells, and his pupils were like the sunspots on Go. He was staring at the jade belt without moving.
He slowly picked up the treasure, his eyebrows were filled with joy, he touched the moist jade and said, "This is the property of the monarch of the Song Dynasty. How did you get it, Wulu?"
"I was about to report back to Your Majesty. I have never seen this thing before. I accidentally found it among the old things of the late king the day before yesterday. I quickly sent someone to ask my aunt. My aunt said that the king got it when he conquered the Song Dynasty. I think there are more than ten of them in the warehouse. years."
He stood up again and bowed his head: "I forgive my sin. I just feel that this white jade belt is extremely precious. It belongs to the king, and what belongs to the king belongs to the king."
After hearing these words, the emperor felt like a breeze blowing on his face. Looking at his upright and respectful demeanor, he felt that he was calm and honest.
Wan Yanyong took the opportunity to say something nice again: "My stupid brother, I took a closer look at the four jade plates with dragon patterns. I thought that these four jade plates symbolized the four directions. At present, the four vassals are Song, Xixia, Mongolia, Goryeo, all surrender to our court, just like these four jade slabs, hanging firmly around your majesty's waist."
The emperor was very happy, so he walked down the hall, held Wan Yanyong's shoulders, looked at his slightly nervous expression, and hooked his shoulder with one hand: "Hey Wulu, why are you so nervous! I I won’t eat you!”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just feel that I haven't gone through daddy's old things before, otherwise I would have presented this treasure earlier."
"Hey, it doesn't matter. You offered it right away. How could I blame you for being so sincere? If it were someone else who doesn't know the heights of the world, I'm afraid he might covet my throne. Wear the jade belt by yourself!"
Although it was a casual remark, there was something in it that hinted that King Qi was coveting him.
"The royal family members are all loyal to His Majesty and will definitely not covet him. A humble minister like this is not qualified to be a monarch. It is better to be a free and easy king without having to work like an imperial brother every day. .”
The emperor turned back, put his hand on his shoulder and sighed softly: "Wulu, you and I have known each other since childhood, but you are the most popular in my heart."
"The minister and your majesty are brothers. The minister can only assist your majesty with all his heart and has no intention of talking about anything else."
Just these words made the emperor think deeply, thinking about the story of the country. For more than ten years, he had been a puppet emperor with the support of his uncle. Then, in the face of many contradictions and under high political pressure, he began to indulge in extravagance, brutally kill people, and indulge in wine and sex, which led to the increasing corruption of the Jin Dynasty. He is moody, indulges in drinking and sex, and has a murderous nature, which leads to betrayal and alienation.
He sighed softly: "I have been emperor for decades, and my officials, wives, and children have gradually distanced themselves from me. They all think that I am cruel. I have long been a loner."
"Your Majesty's actions are also in line with the general trend. There is no perfect law in the world. For the sake of the country and the country, someone must shed blood. This has been the case since ancient times."
"Wulu, you are the only one who would think so!"
"Wei Chen just wants to be a brother and a minister!"
"I understand, I understand. You were like this when you were young. You were calm, loyal, humble and respectful, and you followed Aunt Wang's temperament."
"On Chinese Valentine's Day, you are about to welcome your new wife. I will send someone to bring Aunt Wang back!" the emperor suddenly asked.
Wanyanyong recalled what happened on that day in Qingya, and said: "Your Majesty, it was originally scheduled to be the Chinese Valentine's Day, but my cousin suddenly fell ill and was not feeling well, so I'm afraid it will have to be postponed."
The emperor thought about it carefully and said, "Well, then I'll follow you!"
The emperor waved him off, and he stepped back to the banquet room. As soon as he returned, he held Qinli's hand tightly, took a deep breath, looked at the musician playing the song in front of him, and gradually relaxed his brows to enjoy it with everyone.
"Your Majesty, is it done?"
He excitedly picked up the wine glass and placed it in her palm and said: "It's done, it's done, madam, I will drink some wine with the lonely king today!"
She nodded, drank wine with him, and then looked at the table in front of her. The table was surrounded by small green plants, and musicians gathered in groups to play music. Some beauties in water sleeves came up from two places. Their plain clothes were flowing lightly, and their postures were graceful. After looking at the princes and generals everywhere, they were all intoxicated with the banquet. Only With Wanyan Yong, he is the most sober person at the moment.
