Unspeakable and strange

A few owls chirped in the distance, startling the wild birds in the grass, fluttering their wings and flying into the clouds.

Yan Ning came back to her senses, the sun had completely sunk now, and they had stayed in this barren palace city for so long without knowing it.

Looking back at the past, the scenes were as vivid as before, and he finally remembered them all.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, Yan Ning was in a trance.

In front of my eyes, there seemed to be the scene of the old palace full of lights and drums, and the palace maids and eunuchs shuttled like weaving in the verandah, beautiful and picturesque, soft red into fog.

A small gilt lamp stretched out in front of him, and someone smiled and took his hand, "Your Majesty, why are you still here in a daze? The banquet is about to begin, let this servant take the time to wash you up."

The slender and tender hand like a catkin held him, and he also stumbled away

When he was pushed into the screen, someone took off his hair crown, and someone came to undress him, then he felt that something was wrong.

Yan Ning grasped the skirt of her clothes tightly.

The maid who had grabbed his hand covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Why is your majesty still shy? Pearl has served you for so many years, and you haven't seen it. After tonight, your majesty will be an adult."

The girl's hand gently opened Yan Ning's clenched fist, and took off the muddy clothes on his body, "Where did you go, Your Majesty? Why did you change your clothes?" Zhu'er disliked the clothes Throw it aside, change him into a brand new red dress, and then lead him to the mirror and walk down.

A woman opened the bead curtain and came in, her face also filled with joy.

Seeing the familiar face, Yan Ning said in surprise, "Chun Niang?"

Chun Niang picked up the comb to comb his hair, the comb teeth slid through the black silk flowing like a waterfall, and kissed his forehead affectionately, "My little prince has grown up."

Thinking of her dead body sinking at the bottom of the icy Yu River suddenly, Yan Ning couldn't help but see the water vapor in his eyes, he lowered his head and blinked, sniffed to blow the water vapor away.

Then I raised my head and looked at everything around me. The dilapidated palace has taken on a new look. The painted colors between the eaves and purlins are as bright as before. On the window, the red happy characters were pasted on the window pavilion, and the red brocade robe on his body was embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread.

"The queen's phoenix has entered the palace." A young palace lady hurried in from outside the door, and when she saw the room full of people, she whispered embarrassedly, "It's time for your majesty to move to Qingping Palace."

Chun Niang came over to help him by the arm, "After the king is married, don't miss Chao Gang in pursuit of happiness."

Yan Ning broke free from her hand, opened her eyes wide, took a step back, and bumped into the stool, "Married?"

Pearl smiled crisply, like a yellow warbler, "Yes, what's wrong with your majesty? The queen is the niece of the empress dowager. She is beautiful and beautiful. The empress dowager always dotes on her, and she is like a golden boy and jade girl with the king. but."

Yan Ning couldn't help shaking her head when she heard it, and suddenly raised her head, "Where is Qin Hongfeng? Where is he, I want to see him."

Zhu'er was puzzled, "Lord Qin? Naturally, he and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs are waiting outside the gate of Yonghe. They will not enter the palace until the wedding cannon has been fired three times."

Yan Ning's face turned pale, and she sat down on the edge of the table, "Hurry up and call him over, just say, just say that I need to find him."

Zhu'er looked troubled, Chunniang looked at Yan Ning's distraught look, and nodded to her, "Then you lead Master Qin over from the side door first, the auspicious time has not yet arrived, so we won't miss the time."

Yan Ning raised her eyes again, and there was a look of pleading in her eyes, "Hurry up."

Zhu'er was a little panicked now, she didn't know what the big deal was, so she agreed, raised her skirt and hurried out of the palace gate.

After her back disappeared at the end of the corridor, Yan Ning looked away.

This was the second year after he succeeded to the throne as King Xi, his grandmother died of illness, and his adoptive mother, Mrs. Yin, became the queen mother.

At the border, Di Kingdom and Yin Kingdom are ready to move, and there are frequent violations of the ban. Disturbing battle reports often come from the border of a hundred miles.

Although the internal troubles have been calmed down, the influence of foreign relatives is still great.Mrs. Yin relied on the strength of her home country to control the government, and no one dared to speak out.She was afraid of losing control over Yan Ning, so she stuffed her niece into the harem and made a secret whistle by Yan Ning's pillow.

As soon as Yan Ning heard the news, he was furious. He said that if he agreed to the marriage, what would be the difference between the ruler of a country and the prostitutes in the market?

"Your Majesty, you can't say that. The marriage with Yin is based on the overall situation..." All the close officials in the meeting hall were vague and distressed.

The country of Yin is located in a wild place, and the people are tough. The children all grew up on horseback, and they are all brave and good at fighting. One can defeat a hundred.It is far from being able to compete with the docile and law-abiding people of Xi who live on the Lishui side and are raised by the gentle wind and rain and the abundant food.

Only Xie Qixiang stood alone and stood by him.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and quarreled endlessly.

Yan Ning blushed, looked at Qin Hongfeng, and said viciously, "What does Master Qin think?"

Qin Hongfeng tapped the fan in his palm, raised his eyes, and smiled calmly, "If you want to talk about it, Yin Rao is twenty-eight years old, with a face like peaches and plums, and Wang Shanglang, a talented woman, may be a good match."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone in the court knew that the newly enthroned King Xi listened to Lord Qin the most, and never refuted his proposal. Lord Qin has said so, and the matter is sure.

But Yan Ning was suddenly furious, overturned the book on the case, picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at it.Master Qin didn't dodge, maybe he lost his aim in anger, the inkstone rubbed against the corner of Qin Hongfeng's forehead, smashed the square bricks on the floor, and there was a loud bang, and fragments of Duanshi splashed all over the floor.

A corner of Qin Hongfeng's forehead was scratched, and the blood flowed down windingly, slowly trickling over the corners of his eyes, his long eyelashes half covered, pooling in his chin.

After the loud noise, there was silence, and the stagnant air was like a pool of stagnant water.

More than a dozen ministers who discussed the matter were stunned, all of them lowered their heads and stared at the toes of their boots, their backs were sweaty, and they dared not breathe. I don't know why King Xi would suddenly attack the most favored Master Qin.What would happen if the inkstone was hit correctly?Undead and half-life.

Yan Ning felt exhausted after being furious. Looking at the blood on Qin Hongfei's face, his heart was suddenly filled with darkness, and he sat down in the seat in embarrassment, and said hoarsely, "That's it for today, you all back down."

Everyone in the hall kowtowed and said goodbye one after another as if they had received an amnesty.

The door of the palace creaked shut, blocking the sunlight that leaked from the high walls of the palace.
