I said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have made an engagement with Linglong, the daughter of General Linggufu.
I will marry her soon.
How can I break the engagement and marry someone else?
Even if I take a concubine, I have to wait until after the day to discuss it." " Gou Jian, the king of Yue, looked doubtful in his eyes.
It was no wonder that he was suspicious.
Linglong was an arrogant person.
Even the king of Yue was rejected when he proposed marriage for his son, not to mention me, a little person with no talent or virtue.
Tang Meng's whole body was almost paralyzed, and her eyes were full of despair.
It seemed that my performance had exceeded her psychological endurance.
The whole hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on me and King Goujian of Yue.
King Goujian of Yue looked at me for a long time, and finally burst out laughing: "Haha, Lu Xiaogui, Lu Xiaogui, do you know the consequences of cheating on me?
"?"
I remained calm and smiled calmly: "How dare you lie to your Majesty?"
King Gou Jian of Yue suddenly stopped laughing: "What a coincidence.
Linglong happened to come to visit the queen.
Whether this is true or not, you will know as soon as you ask."
He whispered to the maid next to him: "Go and invite the Queen and Miss Ling to come over."
My heart was shocked.
Damn it, it couldn’t be such a coincidence.
It didn’t give me any time to relax.
How could Linglong be here by such a coincidence?
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, said calmly: "You go back and sit down, we will continue drinking."
Returning to his seat, Mi Yong looked at me and said, "Are you a little scared?"
I whispered: "Linglong is really with the queen."
Mi Yong nodded and said: "The queen is ill, and Miss Ling happened to come over to see her."
At this time, the bead curtain on the right side of the hall moved slightly, but the Queen of Yue walked in with the support of two girls.
The one on the left was her personal maid, and the girl on the right was wearing a green dress, with slender eyebrows. , a faint hint of light on her pretty face Shy, with a delicate body like a willow in the wind, swaying posture, and crystal clear skin, which contrasts with the pretty face of Qingli, which makes her look even more otherworldly.
The style between looking at her is like a dream, which makes people feel confused.
This girl is Ling Gufu's daughter Ling.
Long.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
It was also the first time that I saw Linglong's true face in Lushan.
The shock in my heart was unparalleled.
I unconsciously made a comparison between Xishi and her.
Linglong was both beautiful and temperamental.
She wants to be one step ahead of Xi Shi, but for some reason she does not have a seat among the four beauties.
If you think about it carefully, none of the four beauties are of noble birth.
This is the difference between a lady from a famous family like Linglong and them.
King Gou Jian of Yue pretended to welcome the queen over, asked her to sit next to him, and said warmly: "Linglong, I heard that you are already sixteen years old this year.
It's time to think about important things in your life, I think."
Linglong Chilai didn't know what happened just now and said softly: "Your Majesty is hosting a banquet for distinguished guests from the Chu Kingdom today.
It's better not to mention the trivial matters of the women of the country."
The King of Yue said with a straight face: "How can we not mention that the queen and I treat you as our own daughter, and your lifelong affairs are a big deal to us?"
The queen smiled and said: "The king has been thinking about this all the time."
Linglong lowered her head, but her beautiful eyes drifted towards me, and I quietly winked at her.

Linglong's pretty face could not help but have two pieces of red cloud flying up.
King Gou Jian of Yue said: "I have discussed this with the queen."
Linglong mustered up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Linglong has already made an engagement."
The queen was slightly startled: "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
Linglong said coyly: "It happened not long ago, and I haven't had time to tell the queen yet."
"Whose young master can be so lucky?"
I was afraid that Linglong would show his weakness, so I stood up suddenly and said: "I"
It happened that Linglong also said at the same time: "Lu Xiaogui" In the main hall, everyone who had been suppressed for a long time could no longer help laughing at the same time, and the usually serious Yue King Gou Jian couldn't help but smile.
Linglong's pretty face turned red with embarrassment.
It took a lot of courage to say this in front of so many people.
We looked at each other and knew each other well.
If it weren't for the coercion of King Goujian of Yue, we would have He would definitely not tell such a lie.
But this also proves that we are actually thinking about each other all the time and regard each other as our best choice.
The happiest person was Tang Meng.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
The thrilling moment just now almost scared her to the point of fainting.
Fortunately, the two of us resolved the impasse with our wit and tacit understanding.
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, sighed and said, "I can't believe it, I can't believe it."
The queen said softly: "Since they have made an engagement, don't force me."
Gou Jian, the king of Yue, laughed and said, "I won't do anything like beating mandarin ducks."
He turned to me and said, "Lu Xiaogui."
I stood up in a hurry and said, "I'm here."
"Just pretend that I haven't mentioned anything about Hongying.
In the future, you must be kind to Linglong, otherwise I will never let you go."
I nodded repeatedly, but Linglong was too shy to look at me.
Tang Meng brought Linglong to her seat, and the two of them talked quietly.
Young Master Sheng picked up the wine glass and said cheerfully: "Okay, Young Master Lu is an invincible hero, and Miss Ling is as beautiful as jade.
They are truly a match made in heaven.
Congratulations to them all."
Everyone responded in unison.
King Gou Jian of Yue clapped his hands, and more than a dozen girls in white filed in from outside the main hall, dancing slowly to the music.
I paid attention quietly, but did not find Xi Shi and Zheng Dan included.
Then I thought, what is coming today is Gou Jian, the envoy of Chu State, would naturally not expose his trump card.
After the dinner, the ministers said their goodbyes one after another and came out.
Tang Meng called me in front of the palace gate and said, "Little turtle, you can use my carriage to send Linglong back."
I nodded and saw Linglong wearing a black cloak walking from a distance.
I opened the car door and asked her to get in the carriage.
Linglong didn't look at me and passed by me with her head down.
A faint fragrance drifted up.
Before I got into the car, I whispered to Tang Meng: "Sister, please don't mention tonight's matter to your brother-in-law again."
Tang Meng hesitated slightly, and then understood what I meant.
His eye circles turned slightly red, and he nodded slightly and said, "I know."
The carriage moved quietly in the dark night.
Linglong opened the curtain, and a wisp of cool night wind blew in from the window.
The moonlight fell softly on her pretty face like water, making her appearance look even brighter.

"Thank you" I whispered.
Linglong turned her pretty face and looked at me quietly with her clear and pure eyes: "Thank me for what?"
"If you hadn't come to my rescue, I'm afraid I would have died tonight."
A cute smile appeared on the corner of Linglong's lips: "There are many ways to avoid death.
You can agree to the king and marry Hongying.
In this way, you can not only survive, but also become the city guard of Lingyuan."
"But then what's the point of living?
How sad would someone be?"
"Who will be sad for you" "You"
Linglong bit her lower lip gently: "I was trying to save you just now."
I laughed, stared into Linglong's eyes and said, "Have you noticed that when the king forced us, we were thinking of each other?
Do you know what this is called?"
Naturally, Linglong couldn't deny the fact of what just happened, so he could only look at me silently.
"I don't have a colorful phoenix with two flying wings, but I have a clear understanding of my heart."
I smiled and said: "I suddenly realized that we are a match.
If a good girl like you is married by someone else, I will definitely be very sad.
Likewise, for such an excellent man like me If you marry another woman, you will probably be even more sad than me.
After all, I am the only man as good as me in the world."
I am not lying.
I may be the only one who has traveled through modern society.
"So thick-skinned" Linglong couldn't help but smile.
I boldly held Linglong's slender hand.
Linglong's beautiful eyes widened and she wanted to break away.
I whispered: "Marry me" "you" "No conditions, I like you and I want to marry you" "But" "No but, tonight you have acknowledged our engagement in front of the king and ministers of Yue Kingdom.
I will not allow you to go back on it, and you will have no chance to go back on it."
Linglong hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Lu Xiaogui, I admit that there are indeed many things about you that attract me, but I can't forget the hatred in my heart.
One day, I will avenge my father.
You woke me up that day.
Me, if I marry you, one day you will face the pain of me leaving you, and I don’t want to harm you.”
A smile appeared on my face.
The fact that Linglong could say this proved that I quietly occupied a very important position in her heart, and she did not want to drag me into her own hatred.
I held her delicate hand tighter in my own and said solemnly: "Marry me.
I will not agree to help you get revenge just to marry you.
What I want to marry is Linglong, the real you.
I I will give you happiness, I will give you lifelong care, your hatred is my hatred, I will not let you leave me."
Crystal tears welled up in her beautiful eyes: "Maybe one day, you will regret it."
"No, never, never" Two lines of crystal tears slowly slid down her pretty face.
Her fingers were quietly entangled with mine.
I whispered: "From today on, I will not let you suffer any grievances."
