Forsythia: "This is mandarin duck lily soup." ” "This is Wawa Meimei Four Joy Maruko."
"This is a porridge full of lotus seeds for children and grandchildren."
"This is a case of eyebrows and sauce, fragrant elbows."
"It's a wine made in heaven."
Chu Crag: "---------" Lingxi listened to the names of these dishes, and then looked at Forsythia serving the dishes so personally today, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Forsythia brought a pot at this time: "The last one, the husband sings the wife with the white head to the old plaice, and the affection is affectionate and affectionate. ” Lingxi exhaled slightly: "You chose this name, did you agree to these dishes?"
” "It's auspicious!"
Forsythia looked at her, "I've flipped through a lot of books." ” Lingxi glanced at her: "It's hard for you." ” Forsythia smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, princess, start the chopsticks!"
This wine must be drunk. ” Then the maid next to him lit the red candle, and her face was red.
At this time, a smile appeared at the corner of Chu Ling's lips: "Forsythia is named, and this king likes it very much." ” Lingxi pursed his lips: "Your Highness, can you also look at such a non-standard name?"
” He said: "The key is to have a good meaning. ” Forsythia jumped out of the house very happily, and pulled away a group of maids by the way, and the whole room was just the two of them.
Lingxi looked very helpless: "If you eat like this every meal, I'm afraid I'll get dizzy." ” Chu Lingxun gave her vegetables: "Okay, let them not do this next time." ” He is a vegetable and a cold soup, Lingxi looks at it from time to time, it has been the same for the past few days, and every time after eating, Lingxi looks at his bowl and barely touches.
A sense of helplessness rose in her heart, and she sighed: "Your Highness, don't you be busy?"
” Chu Lingxun was stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon at this time, and turned his head: "What." ” "I mean, I can eat by myself."
It's not that you don't know how to use chopsticks, and you don't need to clip every dish.
Chu shook his head at this time: "This king is happy." ” Lingxi turned his head, and there was a sudden feeling in his heart: "What are you happy about, does the dignified Northwest King like to serve others so much?"
” "You're none other than that."
He smiled lightly at the corner of his lips: "If I can accompany you like this for a lifetime, then it is also good to give you dishes for a lifetime." ” Lingxi froze, and the corners of his lips smiled bitterly.
It seems that since marrying in the northwest, the two have been avoiding the problem that has always separated each other, and if he doesn't mention it, she will never show a flaw.
It seems that they are carefully maintaining such a relationship, respecting each other as guests, cautious everywhere, and walking on thin ice.
But in this life, do you have to be like this for the rest of your life?
If not, then what, if those heavenly relatives are watching, how should she feel at ease.
Chu looked at her bleak side face at this time, and the look in his eyes was a little darker, and he said, "Yue'er, you think more than you want." ” Lingxi's finger moved: "I didn't." ” "I still said no, my brows are furrowed together."
He reached out and stroked her forehead: "Is the dish too unpalatable?"
” The corners of her lips were indifferent: "It's better than what you make." ” "That's it."
Chu handed the cold soup to her hand: "This soup smells very fragrant, taste it." ” After eating, the two walked into the courtyard, surrounded by golden chrysanthemums in full bloom, and the moonlight was bright and the afterglow fell.
The two figures dragged on for a long time, and Chu walked beside her, standing still under a huge tassel tree in the courtyard.
The tassel tree blooms with white flowers, falling one after another, softer than the catkins.
Chu looked up with a deep look in his eyes at this time: "Do you know where this tree came from." ” Lingxi shook his head: "It's the first time I've seen such a big tassel tree, I used to pay tribute to the seeds in the Jin Kingdom Palace when I was a child, but I didn't grow up and died because of the water and soil." ” "The tassel tree is not for the lands of the South."
He held on to the trunk of the tree: "Three years ago, I attacked the Otsuki Clan, and this is a tree I got on the way to the battle. ” Lingxi looked at him, thinking that there must be a story in it, and walked to his side and stood quietly.
"The people of the Dayue clan are extremely cunning, and they are good at using Qimen tricks in battle, and the Great Chu army is only good at land real swords and guns, I had a general under my command at that time, although the Northwest Army won successive battles, but the sacrifice was not small, and the soldiers who got along day and night were not small, and when attacking the Nine Ring Pass, because there were too many casualties before, the king did not dare to take risks easily, but he took two personal guards alone to go deep into the enemy camp and become a civilian, just to be able to find out the trap set up by the Nine Ring Pass."
Lingxi listened, his eyes moving slightly.
"What happened to him in the end?"
Chu said in an extremely dark tone: "He is very smart, he successfully learned about the trick of the Nine Ring Pass the day before the war, but they were found on the way back, in order to bring the news back to the Northwest Military Camp smoothly, he desperately sent his subordinates away and left one to stop him, and finally was cut into a skeleton and hung on the tree under the Nine Ring Pass, and there was no corpse." ” Lingxi's body stiffened, looking at his dim gaze: "It's this tree?"
” Chu Lingyu silently tightened his fingers on the trunk: "Yes, that battle, because of all the dangers of the Nine Ring Pass, the Northwest Army crossed all the traps of the Nine Ring Pass that night and went deep into the enemy camp, and the battle of the Nine Ring Pass was the easiest battle against the Dayue Clan, and there were no casualties in the whole army, except for him." ” Lingxi's eyes moved slightly: "How did he follow His Highness ----?"
” "We were both fifteen years old that year, he was a native of Western Xia, he used to be a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he also got acquainted with him by mistake, no matter where I was, he followed him closely, from a knight to my guard, a loyal Chicheng."
She walked further and reached out to hold the back of his hand: "So this tree was brought back in honor of him." ” Chu Liang's eyes were a little cold: "He only followed me for two years, but he ended up dead without a body." ” Lingxi's heart throbbed at this time, but he only blurted out one sentence: "Fortunately, the Dayue clan was defeated and did not live up to the sacrifice."
The only blood disaster she has experienced in her life is the chaos in the palace of the Jin Kingdom, and then she and Forsythia fled to Western Xia, and every time she hears the news that those cities have been captured and the defending generals have thrown themselves to the Chu State, she is cold.
Although she hadn't seen what the war was like, the bloody rain of blood under the swords and guns would only be more brutal than she imagined.
And Chu is rugged, he fought on the battlefield at a young age to protect the frontier alone, no matter what the emperor's attitude towards him, he has really been suppressed for many years, no matter what his military exploits are, no matter how much blood is shed on the battlefield, he has never had a good word.
But in so many years, there are only a few loyal people who accompany him.
Chu Qixuan: "Do you know how he ordered the two departing soldiers when he was dying. ”
