In the garden, when all the officials were nervous and at a loss, a high-spirited singing at the door broke the awkward mood in the garden.
As the sound rang out, all the guests in the garden turned their heads and looked towards the door where the butler was standing.
At the arched doorway decorated with lights, four maids in pink dresses walked in elegantly, carrying lanterns. Their steps were light and their bodies were graceful.
After entering the door, two maids stood beside the door. The pink lanterns in their hands cast a beam of light, illuminating the arched doorway.
Then, King Jin, who was dressed in a bright red and gold suit, led a strange-looking woman and walked in through the arch.
To say that the woman's appearance is strange does not mean that she is ugly. On the contrary, as soon as this woman appears, she makes people feel amazing. And this woman's appearance, especially her eyes, makes everyone present feel the same.
I thought of a race.
"Turks!"
Amidst the exclamations of the guests, Lu Heng also said to himself in surprise. Looking at the woman with a pair of charming blue eyes, he felt quite curious.
Beside him, Hong Quan nodded slightly, looked at the woman next to King Jin, thought for a while, and said lightly: "After the war that year, the Great Zhou Dynasty had a brief period of peace with the Turks. In order to express their wish for peace, both sides
Each of them sent their peace envoys. A woman from my great Zhou Dynasty married a Turkic Khan. And the Turkic Khan also married a little princess from the grassland to the King of Jin. Oh, this matter was talked about in those days.
.However, after so many years, the war between the two sides has resumed. No one is mentioning this matter anymore!"
Hong Quan raised his chin and pointed at the woman. His eyes were dull and he said to Lu Heng beside him: "This woman is the little Turkic princess who married the King of Jin back then, the youngest daughter of the Turkic Khan back then, Qiqige!"
After hearing this, Lu Heng nodded slightly. He reached out and took an apple from the table next to him, without wiping it off. After taking a bite, he casually asked: "Then who was the woman I sent to marry in the Zhou Dynasty?
ah?"
"Oh, it's the one hanging in His Majesty's Imperial Study Room... Damn, didn't you guess it?" After hearing Lu Heng's casual question, Hong Quan said it smoothly. However, as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong.
Turning his head, he saw Lu Heng's shocked eyes. Hong Quan then realized that he had spilled the beans. At this time, seeing the shocked look in Lu Heng's eyes, it gradually turned into a look of understanding. Hong Quan felt annoyed.
Come on, I wish I could slap myself in the mouth.
"Then..." After hearing this, Lu Heng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned around, looked at Hong Quan, and said in disbelief: "Then, that woman is the mother-in-law of Princess Qinglan and Prince Jin? That legend
The noble concubine Qinglian who died of illness in the harem?"
Seeing Lu Heng's shocked eyes, Hong Quan squeaked a few times with an unhappy look on his face, then nodded in acquiescence.
Ha, so that’s it!
Lu Heng glanced at Princess Qinglan and Prince Jin in the crowd, feeling like a turbulent sea and unable to calm down.
"But!" Anyway, things were leaked, so Hong Quan simply told everything: "But after Concubine Qinglian got married to the grassland, she died in less than two months due to acclimatization!"
Raising his head and looking at Lu Heng with twinkling eyes, Hong Quan lowered his voice and said: "Only a few people in Dazhou know about this matter! Your Majesty suppresses this matter very hard and regards it as a major event in his life."
Humiliation! So..."
Hong Quan glanced at Lu Heng with worry in his eyes, and the worried look on his face was self-evident.
After experiencing shock and astonishment, Lu Heng calmed down. Seeing Hong Quan's cautious expression, Lu Heng nodded solemnly and took a bite of the apple in his hand: "I didn't hear anything!"
Hearing this, Hong Quan breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and nodded gratefully to Lu Heng with a grateful smile.
After chewing a few mouthfuls, he found that the apple in his hand was getting more and more tasteless. After Lu Hengyi put the apple down in a wan mood, he raised his head and looked at King Jin and Princess Qinglan, feeling both sad and sad for their lives.
Pitiful.
In the past, Lu Heng was still wondering why the King of Jin, who had a great future, acted so aggressively.
Now it seems that it must be because of this incident.
The biological mother was forced by the emperor to remarry to the Turks, and finally died of humiliation. As a son of a human being, and a relative of the emperor, the King of Jin and Princess Qinglan, how could they accept such a great shame and humiliation.
For more than twenty years, he has been secretly preparing to win over various forces. The purpose is to restore the reputation of his biological mother, that miserable woman. Or, in other words, just for a statement. Now, King Jin's wings are gradually full, and he is depressed.
The hatred in my heart also surfaced.
However, thinking about what King Jin had done over the years, Lu Heng felt pity for him.
Just as the emperor's crazy roar said in the early morning. If, if King Jin could let go of his hatred, or in other words, target his hatred, maybe the emperor would really pass the throne to him as he wished.
But people are often blinded by hatred. Perhaps, at that time, King Jin had the idea of avenging his biological mother, Concubine Qinglian. But over the years, King Jin has gone too far on the road of revenge.
Especially after the Turks appeared, he could never look back. Now he is on the opposite side of the entire Zhou Dynasty. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he will become the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation.
He has gone crazy!
Lu Heng held the wine cup in his hand and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who was laughing and chatting happily with the guests, and Princess Qinglan who was accompanying him. Lu Heng's eyes were long-winded, he shook his head and sighed. It was hard to describe the various feelings in his heart.
surface.
After greeting the guests for a while, King Jin turned his head and walked towards Lu Heng with a smile on his face.
When Hong Quan saw King Jin approaching, he quickly reached out and pushed Lu Heng, who was distracted beside him.
"Master Lu, Master Hong, welcome you to Prince Jin's Mansion!" Prince Jin specially dressed up tonight. At this time, the night wind blew, his black hair was fluttering gently, and he looked extremely elegant. There was a kind expression on his face.
With a smile, he looked at Lu Heng and the two of them and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome! It's a blessing for us to be a guest at Prince Jin's Mansion!" Hong Quan was a smooth and sophisticated person. At this time, seeing that Lu Heng still looked uncomfortable, he had to take matters into his own hands and raised his cup to touch Prince Jin.
, be humble.
But King Jin didn't appreciate it. Seeing Lu Heng's dazed look, a cold look flashed across his handsome face. After a flash, he looked at Lu Heng sideways and said, "Is it possible that Mr. Lu is still because of what happened to the dog just now?"
angry?"
The cool breeze blew across my face. The thoughts in my mind became much clearer.
Looking at the amber wine in the golden cup in front of him, and looking up at King Jin's seemingly kind smile, Lu Heng smiled, turned around, and took a glass of wine from the table next to him. He looked at Jin with a smile.
Wang glanced at it, and then...
Seeing Princess Qinglan turn her eyes away from him, Lu Heng smiled faintly. He moved the wine glass in his hand forward, and after touching it with Prince Jin's glass, he looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
, just raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking the wine, Lu Heng turned the wine bowl over with a smile. He looked at King Jin with a smile.
King Jin frowned and looked down at the wine bowl in Lu Heng's hand.
There are at least two taels of wine in this bowl. Although it is not much, it is still a lot. It is really not something that ordinary people can bear after one sip. Especially, the drinks tonight are all from the Western Regions.
The aged wine has great stamina. After drinking this bowl, the wind will blow, and the whole person will probably lose consciousness.
He hesitated in his heart, not knowing what to do. Unexpectedly, Princess Qinglan who was behind him suddenly walked up to him, stretched out his hand and took the wine bowl from Prince Jin. Then he raised his head and looked at Lu with beautiful eyes without any emotion.
Constant.
Princess Qinglan slowly raised the wine bowl and looked at Lu Heng. Then she raised her head, closed her eyes, and drank the wine in one gulp.
The amber wine flowed down from the corner of her lips and spilled. The pink dress was already wet. And the woman seemed not to notice anything until she drank the wine in the wine bowl.
Then he turned the wine bowl over and looked at Lu Heng intently, also without saying a word.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely weird.
Princess Qinglan held the wine bowl in her hand and looked at Lu Heng with cold and emotionless eyes. Lu Heng, on the other hand, had a look of astonishment on his face. He looked at the woman with a frosty face in front of him. His lips moved, but
No sound was made.
Not only King Jin felt the strange atmosphere in the venue, but even the guests who were watching noticed that something was wrong.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Heng and Princess Qinglan. Princess Qinglan stared at Lu Heng coldly, as if she was looking at a wolf with blank eyes. Many people have good character.
The guest in question had begun to wonder if something shameful had happened between these two people.
Moreover, it is also a matter of men changing their minds and shamelessly betraying women, which makes women heartbroken.
The sound of whispers spread among the guests. Soon, the wind direction had changed drastically. Almost half of the guests in the room had already looked at Lu Heng with contempt, disdain, and even hostility.
If it weren't for Lu Heng's status, I'm afraid there would have been rotten eggs and vegetable leaves flying all over the sky.
Lu Heng, who was in the field, seemed not to feel the sharp gazes from around him. He was still looking at the woman in front of him in astonishment.
Moving his eyes downward, he also saw Princess Qinglan's long dress that was soaked with wine, and a strand of black hair standing on her lips.
After a while, Lu Heng looked at Princess Qinglan, and his eyes changed from astonishment to admiration. After taking a deep breath, he turned around, walked directly to the table, and picked up a jar of unopened wine.
Then, under everyone's puzzled and surprised gazes, Lu Heng pushed aside the mud seal on the wine jar with one hand.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed in the venue!
Lu Heng held the wine jar and walked back to Princess Qinglan. He looked at Princess Qinglan intently, then moved the wine jar forward, with a look of admiration on his face: "Princess Qinglan has a good capacity for drinking.
