Spring dyed pear blossoms

Although the Xiliang Palace was not as luxurious as the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was still very magnificent.Along the way, the guards are guarding layer upon layer, and they are extremely strict.

A group of people entered the palace, Zhuang Ye and others were stopped by Xiliang's guards outside the main palace, "Idlers, please don't enter!"

Lord Zhuang looked at Meng Qiucheng, saw Meng Qiucheng nodded, and then retreated to the side, guarding outside the hall.

Wei Anrong and Meng Qiucheng looked at each other, and they both seemed to understand that this was the same rule for all royal families.Master Zhuang and the others were all carrying weapons. If it wasn't for the envoy's relationship, they might not even be able to enter the gate of the palace.Now it is just blocked outside the temple, which is considered an extra grace.

However, today's Xiliang Palace is still a bit special. It is obviously a happy event for the marriage of the two countries, but no one seems to have any smiles on their faces.Even Chi Rao Rong Yi and the woman in red named Jiang Li looked serious and didn't say much.

When they arrived at the main palace, Chi Rao Rongyi sat directly on the main seat, which surprised Wei Anrong and Meng Qiucheng.The king of Xiliang did not come out to meet the envoys. It seems that the rumors that the king of Xiliang was seriously ill were true.Now that Chi Rao Rongyi can sit on the throne of the king of Xiliang calmly, it means that the next king of Xiliang has been decided.Chirao Rongyi is the only heir of the King of Xiliang, which is justifiable.

But the situation that Chi Rao Rongyi is now facing is not stable. If her identity is known by someone who cares, she will be pulled down from the throne immediately.

Not only did Meng Qiucheng secretly send people to investigate, but there are naturally many secret works of Da Zhou in Xiliang.Even Wei Anrong, in this Xiliang palace, also placed his own people.

If there hadn't been a decisive Chirao Rongyi in Xiliang, once the king of Xiliang died of illness, Xiliang would face an inevitable civil strife.

That's why Chi Rao Rongyi needs a woman, a woman who she hates but cannot offend.So Wei Anrong became the best choice, and the fate of the two countries is related to them, if one party suffers, the other party will also be implicated.

Now that both parties hold each other's lifeblood, neither of them will easily go back on their word.

Wei Anrong understood that Chi Rao Rongyi's move was to block his fate on himself.

Meng Qiucheng still doesn't know Chi Rao Rongyi's true identity, but seeing Chi Rao Rongyi's attitude, and that Jiang Li, she couldn't help but sweat for Wei Anrong.If Wei Anrong really married Xiliang, he would definitely make things difficult for him.Going back this time, if there are other ways, marriage is still not advisable.

Chi Rao Rongyi sat in the upper seat and glanced at Wei Anrong, "It's a great honor for Princess Jingrong to come to Xiaowang's small country in Xiliang all the way. It's just that Xiaowang's father is ill and cannot receive the princess in person. Princess forgive me."

When Wei Anrong took out the letter before leaving, the emperor stepped forward and said respectfully, "Since the king of Xiliang is unwell, it is the same to hand this letter to the little prince."

Chi Rao Rongyi ordered someone to take the letter, opened it and looked at it casually, and said, "Xiao Wang understands what Emperor Zhou means. Xiao Wang should do his best to deal with Emperor Zhou. But before that, Xiao Wang has one more request." .”

Wei Anrong looked cold, staring at Chi Rao Rongyi, "What else does the little prince want?"

The corners of Chi Rao Rongyi's mouth slightly turned up, her eyes were also abnormally cold, and the words she said were still as cold as the mask on her face, "Xiao Wang hopes that Princess Jingrong can stay in Xiliang for one more month."

"No!" Meng Qiucheng hurriedly said, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and changed his words again, "Although the princess and the little prince have a marriage contract, it is really against the rules for the princess to stay in Xiliang without three letters and six rituals. The common people know that they want to laugh at the Tian family and disrespect the ancestors' etiquette."

Chi Rao Rongyi sneered, "The little Wang stayed with the princess because she was afraid that the princess would not get used to it in the future, so she had to adapt to the palace for a period of time, so that she could understand. Besides, the date of the marriage between Xiao Wang and the princess has not yet been set. Fan immediately went back and didn't know anything about Xiliang, how could he stay in peace in the future!

The people of Xiliang never dare to talk about the affairs of the Tian family. Do the people of Dazhou dare to talk about the affairs of the Tian family?Heh, it seems that Emperor Zhou's benevolence really dares to talk nonsense. "

Meng Qiucheng's eyes tightened, holding back his anger, but he couldn't attack it.

She looked at Wei Anrong, seeing that Wei Anrong was also very angry, but she had no intention of objecting.

She sighed slightly in her heart, yes, this time they are asking for something.So they had no way to refute this rude request.

For seven days in a row, Meng Qiucheng and Wei Anrong were served at the Xiliang Palace for three meals, and they were treated with respect.Only for these seven days, they were not allowed to leave the Xiliang Palace for half a step, and during these seven days, Chi Rao Rongyi never showed up again.

Meng Qiucheng had nothing to do, and patrolled around the palace.Overhearing the whispering of the servant girl in the palace, she realized that the reason Chi Rao Rongyi didn't show up was because he took Jiang Li to the hunting ground the next day to hunt.

This Jiang Li's father was Jiang Kun, the leader of Xiliang's three armies, Zhenguan General Jiang Kun. Before marrying Da Zhou, everyone thought that Chi Rao Rongyi would marry Jiang Li in the future.

The relationship between these two has always been ambiguous. Everyone knows that Chi Rao Rongyi is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he loves Jiang Li very much.As long as Jiang Li wants, Chi Rao Rongyi will try his best to get it.

Now that Wei Anrong hasn't left yet, and he is playing with other women so blatantly, Meng Qiucheng is annoyed. She is not only annoyed at Chi Rao Rongyi, but also annoyed at Wei Anrong's indifference.

Wei Anrong naturally understood Meng Qiucheng's thoughts.If she hadn't thought that she would die that day, she would never have said such a thing.But some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back.Now if she is not cruel, I'm afraid she really can't help it.

"Master Meng, how long has it been since we left Chang'an?"

Meng Qiucheng thought for a while, "It's probably been two months."

"It's been two months? There's no news from the spies I left behind in Kyoto. Did your people send you a letter?"

After this reminder, Meng Qiucheng suddenly remembered something, and his face froze, "There has been no news from the capital for the past two months. There is only one possibility. The capital may be in crisis."

Wei Anrong's face was equally ugly, she nodded slightly, "I am not afraid of anything, even if I marry Xiliang, I am afraid that even if I marry Chi Rao Rongyi, it will be too late. One month, too many variables It's too big. But I can't leave, Mr. Meng, you can go back tomorrow!"

Meng Qiucheng was stunned for a moment, "The princess is left alone in Xiliang, I am worried."

"There is nothing to worry about, Chi Rao Rongyi dare not do anything to Ben Gong."

"Princess, why don't you go back to Kyoto with Chen!"

Wei Anrong shook his head, "Master Meng, do you know what this palace cares most about? It is not the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What this palace cares about is that treacherous officials are in power. I don’t want to see those treacherous villains harming the common people.”

After she said that, Meng Qiucheng still didn't say anything.He couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Meng Qiucheng still didn't want to tell her the truth.

Wei Anrong felt a moment of loss in his heart.She is obviously a woman, why hide it?Could it be that the tribulations they have gone through together are not enough for a heart-to-heart exchange?

"Meng Qiucheng, you actually already knew the identity of Ben Gong, right?"

"Why did the princess say that?"

"Before you left, you purposely let me see that jade pendant, didn't you just want to remind me that you don't have to marry Xiliang far away? If I read the jade pendant correctly, it belongs to Jinxi."

Meng Qiucheng took a deep breath, then nodded, "Princess, only you and I know about this matter. I hope the princess will never tell her."

Wei Anrong smiled faintly, "I grew up with Jinxi in Yongle Temple together. When I was young, Master Huien took extra care of Jinxi. Later, someone came from the palace to take the princess back to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Hui Master En pushed Ben Gong to those people.

Master Hui En said that this is the fate of my palace, and it is inseparable from the world.

For so many years, Bengong also knew that the jade pendant was something only royal heirs were qualified to wear in the palace.So Jin Xi is the princess of Da Zhou.After that, Ben Gong finally understood Concubine Chen's thoughts, she only wanted Jin Xi to stay away from the palace and live a safe life.And what Ben Gong wants is to show off his grand plans.

This status was bestowed on me by Concubine Chen, so Concubine Chen's grievances and Jinxi's safety, I will definitely do my best to protect her, which can be regarded as repayment. "

Meng Qiucheng bowed and said in a low voice, "The princess has the world in her heart, and she is no less inferior than a man. This status is given to the princess, which is the blessing of the Great Zhou. I have never obeyed anyone, and the princess is someone I admire from the bottom of my heart."

Wei Anrong chuckled, thought for a while and then asked, "So what does Mr. Meng think that women are better than men?"

"Since ancient times, men farming and women weaving have been regarded as a harmonious husband and wife and a happy family. I think that women are more complementary than men, and they complement each other. Therefore, the world cannot be without men, and it cannot be without women."

Still scruples?Wei Anrong took a deep look at Meng Qiucheng, telling the truth, so why can't he speak to her?

No matter, after all, she is not in his heart.

If she really kept a trace of sympathy and compassion, she would be desperate.That's all right, she has nothing to worry about, and she has nothing to think about.

"Master Meng, go back to the capital tomorrow morning! I believe that you will be able to turn the tide."

Meng Qiucheng cupped his hands and saluted, knowing that Wei Anrong's mind had been made up.

Looking at the wind blowing the leaves on the tree outside the window, Wei Anrong suddenly asked, "If you met me first, would this be the result?"

These words seemed to be addressed to Meng Qiucheng, but they did not seem to be addressed to her.Looking at Wei Anrong's cold face, Meng Qiucheng was filled with guilt.

"There are no ifs in the world, why should the princess think about those impossible things?"

Now Wei Anrong shook his head and chuckled, "Master Meng is right, there are no ifs in this world." His eyes were calm, without any hope.

The author has something to say: There is no if in the world, and it is impossible to start over.
