Chapter 229 Unparalleled in the World (Part 2)
Liu stepped into the Changyuan Hall of Lingxi Palace and saw that Shu'er was not in the house, so he walked to the small kitchen in the courtyard to boil water and cook. He knew that he was no longer the Zhuge Congrong of Xiaoyaojianghu, but
He still wanted to wash his hands and make soup for his beloved girl. He thought, Shu'er, you and I have just changed our names, I am still me, and you are still you. It's just that you and I were born in the emperor's family, and we have nothing to do with you.
I'm afraid it will take some years for the world's promises to be fulfilled. I wonder if you are willing to accompany me to fulfill my adoptive father's wish?
The meal was almost ready, but Shu'er was still missing. However, after listening to his adoptive father's advice, Liu felt at ease and didn't think much about it. He just sat under the eaves of the small kitchen and watched the last scene before the spring flowers bloomed.
A light snowfall.
Shu'er returned from Dongyang City Market, carrying three or five kinds of vegetables and a pair of live chickens and ducks. She saw that although the Changyuan Palace was simple and dilapidated, there was still smoke in the small kitchen, and his handsome husband was sitting under the eaves.
Suddenly, I felt that this Lingxi Palace, which was almost destroyed into ashes, felt very warm at this moment.
Liu stood up, walked briskly towards Shu'er, took the chicken and duck in her hand, and said with a smile, "Madam, please go to the market to buy."
Shu'er smiled a little sadly. She looked at the smoke in the small kitchen and felt sour in her heart. She couldn't help but throw herself into Liu's arms and choked up: "Calm, I didn't mean to refuse my adoptive father's kindness. You are the first-class Duke of Weiguo.
, if I were the Minister of Household Affairs of Weiguo, wouldn’t it be a good story in the world? But..."
Liu held two struggling chickens and ducks with their wings flapped in one hand, and stroked Shu'er's back with the other, saying: "If you don't want to do anything, don't do it. You don't have to explain everything to me. Besides, you have already done it in the Hall of Ren."
I made it very clear that if you don't become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it will save my wife's hard work. It is easy to capture a city, but it is very difficult to revive a country. In the future, your husband will be busy with official duties, and I hope that my wife can help me have children.
, diligent and thrifty." Then he chuckled again, "I'm not as greedy as your little brother, and I don't have to have chicken and duck for every meal. Whatever Madam eats on weekdays, just give me a bite, and I'll be satisfied."
Shu'er reluctantly leaned into Liu's arms and said: "Reviving a country is indeed difficult. From now on, husband, please do not work too hard, and do not forget to eat and sleep. Do not neglect three meals a day. Do you remember, we and King Sheng and Lin Ying
When we were leaving in Yuling, Lin Ying said that the world is dangerous, so don’t drink too much wine? I said the same thing, eat more meals and don’t drink too much wine."
Liu Xiao looked at the frowning Shu'er, kissed her gently on the cheek, and said: "As long as you are by my side, I will not drink a sip of wine. I drank wine last night and was so rude to you. It can be seen that
Wine is not a good thing."
Shu'er's cheeks turned red, she glanced at Liu and whispered: "It's not your fault, it's me... I feel guilty."
Liu Wenyan said: "Excuse me, our days are still very long. Your husband and I are not just beasts in clothes. If you still need time to resolve the guilt in your heart and any concerns you don't want to express to me, I
I'm waiting for you. It doesn't matter how long I wait for you."
Shu'er quietly wiped away her tears on Liu Kuang's chest, then turned around and ran into the small kitchen. Liu, don't wait for me. Problems that can be solved can wait, but my mother was killed twenty years ago.
You killed your mother! How can you wait for something irreversible?
The two cooked vegetables and meat together and prepared a sumptuous table of dishes. Shu'er sent the palace servants to invite King Wei, and when the dishes were served, King Wei came happily.
Shu'er was about to salute King Wei when he saw King Wei wave his hand and said: "You two children, you never have to salute me in private. I am just a foster father in front of you, not your highness. You are in front of me,
He is just a child, not a minister."
Shu'er nodded movedly and sweetly called: "Father."
King Wei raised his eyebrows, smiled at Shu'er and asked, "How is your mother? Are you satisfied with your father and brother?"
Shu'er knew that Liu had told her adoptive father about her life experience, so she didn't explain much and replied helplessly: "My mother is fine. It's just that I haven't had time to return to Chu State to meet my father and little Dongfang."
After admitting it, I came to Dongyang to plead guilty... However, it turned out to be a mistake! The spy report that Teng Yong's army set up an ambush in Jing'an County was actually sent to our Qi army by someone sent by my father. The spy report was nine out of ten.
It was handed over to my father by my mother. Unexpectedly, I almost caused 80,000 Allied troops to be buried in Jade City with just one thought! I shouldn’t have done it. It was when I received the detective report from my father that I couldn’t.
It’s time to misuse that empty brocade bag and pass the news to the Song Dynasty without permission!”
King Wei gave Shu'er and Liu each a bite of food and said, "Fortunately, there is no danger, and you have returned safely. Your father and I are close friends. He disclosed the detective report to you, and he must have wanted you to try to rescue them."
Wei Jun. Shu'er, you really don't need to blame yourself for this matter. As for that empty bag of tips, it was something that I and I left for you, Qi Jun, to adapt to the situation. You did adapt to the situation, and you even guessed it unintentionally.
We have finalized our plan. Since all the mishaps have passed, let’s let it be peaceful!”
Shu'er replied: "Yes." However, the more kindly her adoptive father tried to persuade her, the more guilty she felt. The adoptive father was so kind to her and trusted her parents so much, but her parents murdered her adoptive father Zhongqing.
The woman who had been with him all his life... murdered Liu's mother, Princess Xiao Yi of Qi.
The night was soft and the candlelight was swaying. King Wei did not want to talk about the court at this warm family banquet, so he laughed and talked about interesting things about the world with his two children. The three of them drank small wine and ate the dishes cooked by Shu'er and Liu, and they were in a daze.
I feel that the years are gentle and there is no trace of the past.
After drinking and eating, the three of them talked about the treasures in the ancient tomb of King Zhou. King Wei said that if those treasures from five hundred years ago were to be reappeared in the world, their price would probably buy a Chen Kingdom.
As a gift to the State of Zhao. However, those treasures should not be destroyed by war and chaos, so King Wei warned the two of them not to misappropriate them privately.
After a while, King Wei looked at the King Huai Sword placed in the corner of Changyuan Hall and said: "My dear, your father's sword is finally in your hands."
Liu smiled and said: "And Shu'er, who has exchanged identities with me, is finally in my hands."
King Wei stood up and took the King Huai Sword, put it in his palm and rubbed it. Thinking about the past, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your father, King Huai of Song Dynasty Liu Ying, was actually a good man. He was very infatuated with your mother, and your mother also loved him.
Very infatuated. After so many years, the hatred and jealousy of your adoptive father towards your father have been wiped away by time. For your mother, the adoptive father has no regrets, only a touch of longing. The adoptive father even thanked them and will
You left it to me. If he hadn't wanted to raise you, my adoptive father might have been wandering and degenerate over the years. Watching you grow up, you probably still can't understand how proud your adoptive father is. For you
Proud, also for myself."
Liu saw his adoptive father looking a little sad after drinking, so he took out the sword from his adoptive father's waist and said: "I am self-defending and restoring my country. I haven't had a chance to ask my adoptive father for sword skills yet."
King Wei also took out King Huai's sword and said: "I have never used Liu Ying's sword. Since I no longer hate him, I will use his sword."
So the father and son took advantage of the moonlight, in the light snow in the early spring of Weiguo, to compete in swordsmanship in the small courtyard of Changyuan Hall of Lingxi Palace.
