Chapter 34
Chapter 34
After sending Murong Zhao away, Chu Mingge sat on the dragon chair and meditated for a long time.
Murong Zhao was right, marrying Murong Xiu was the best choice for both him and Murong Zhao.
Shen Zhuoyu's status is embarrassing, unless he is not allowed to see anyone for a lifetime, otherwise, once his existence is known, it will be a big trouble for him.
Besides, he was not so willing to marry Shen Zhuoyu.
Chu Mingge's thoughts were heavy, and he thought of Yunfei again.
He looked at the void, and that sense of loss reappeared, his pupils lost focus for a moment, and a faint bewilderment spread to the depths of his eyes.
Ask yourself, he likes Yun Fei.If he doesn't like it, he won't soften his heart again and again, and repeatedly give birth to the weakness and hesitation that he shouldn't have.
However, Chu Mingge is also clear.Compared with the emperor's great cause, that love is nothing to mention, even if comparing Yunfei and Shen Zhuoyu, he will unswervingly choose the latter.
These days, he has spent too much energy on Yunfei's affairs, and the attention paid to him has already exceeded the scope of his responsibility.
He is just a secret guard, and it is enough to complete the tasks assigned by the master. As for whether Yunfei has a private life with others, that...is not in Chu Mingge's consideration.
Chu Mingge squeezed the space between his eyebrows, his knuckles knocked on the table unconsciously, making a "duk-duk" sound.
The big wedding is coming soon, Murong Xiu knows the relationship between the two of them, he doesn't want to see Yun Fei, which will have all kinds of unexpected effects on the wedding.
Simply, arrange him to the frontier to sharpen and sharpen, and call him back after a while.
The frontier is remote and bitterly cold, and the wind and sand are strong. Let Yun Fei go there, and he must be able to grow up.
……
After receiving the news that Chu Mingge was about to marry Murong Xiu, Shen Zhuoyu was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to realize: "...is he so casual?"
Xuanzhi's servant had a bitter face: "Your Highness made the decision in a hurry. Now the palace and the prime minister's residence are busy, and they are busy preparing for the wedding in half a month. Your Highness means to make a big deal and announce it to the world."
Shen Zhuoyu opened his mouth in surprise: "There is no sign at all, and he just changed his marriage partner so quickly?"
Shen Zhuoyu didn't really want to pay homage to Chu Mingge, but was shocked by the sudden news, and when the servant left, he turned around.
As long as he is not married to him, Chu Mingge will marry anyone.
What will Chu Mingge do with him after he gets married?According to the extent of his cruelty, rewarding him with a whole corpse is a great kindness.
After worrying about her butt, Shen Zhuoyu began to worry about her head again.
Shen Zhuoyu was restless until night, lying on the bed after eating, sleepiness gradually crept up on the brows.Just when he was about to fall asleep, Chu Mingge suddenly broke into the room.
Shen Zhuoyu was so frightened that she lost sleepiness, she shivered and wrapped her quilt tightly, when Chu Mingge entered the room, without saying anything, she directly kicked off her boots, and got into his quilt.
Shen Zhuoyu's limbs were stiff and his scalp was numb. Chu Mingge wrapped his arms around his waist, his arms were as firm as iron clamps.
Shen Zhuoyu didn't know what he would do next, as if invisible thorns were erected all over his body, he held his breath and concentrated, and when Chu Mingge touched him, he was slightly shocked.
Chu Mingge patted him on the back lightly, motioning him to close his eyes.
Shen Zhuoyu bit her lip, closed her eyes resignedly, Chu Mingge's arm swam around his waist, lifted the jacket with her fingertips, and her fingers landed on his naked skin.
Shen Zhuoyu had goosebumps all over his body, wishing he could kick him off, he took a few deep breaths, summoned up his courage, and finally cried: "Don't be like this..."
Chu Mingge's movements froze, and he slowly retracted the hand that was pinching the soft flesh around his waist.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.
Shen Zhuoyu maintained a high degree of mental concentration, not daring to really sleep to death, until the eyelids became heavier and heavier, the darkness surged, and the consciousness was sucked into the vortex.
In the middle of the night, Chu Mingge, who was tossing and turning, got up and saw that the boy in his arms had already fallen asleep, his fair face was stained with two touches of blush, and his bright red lips were oozing with an attractive pink.
Chu Mingge looked at it for a long time, then raised his hand and landed on his eyes.
It was at this time that he was somewhat similar to the person in his memory.
Chu Mingge withdrew his hand without interest, turned his back to Shen Zhuoyu, and sighed silently.
He originally wanted to try another person, maybe with someone else, the mark that Yun Fei had carved on his heart would slowly fade away, and he would return to the state of being fearless before, not caring about anything, and having no weakness.
Backfired.
The young man in his arms was neither beautiful nor well-behaved, but compared with that person, he lacked something after all.
Everything in this world lost its color in front of him.
With a cold face, Chu Mingge suddenly punched the wall, and his fingers immediately bleed.
The smell of blood flooded, Shen Zhuoyu muttered twice in his sleep, turned over, and fell into a drowsy sleep again.
Chu Mingge looked at him and thought to himself, it's actually pretty good to live heartlessly.
……
The day after Murong Zhao returned to the mansion, Murong Xiu also returned to the prime minister's mansion completely.
Princess Hongye was startled by her sudden disappearance, she held her hand and burst into tears, she was just such a daughter, loved like a jewel like a treasure, she suddenly lost the news, and she was anxious for several days No food, hard to swallow.
Murong Xiu's complexion was sallow, as if she hadn't eaten for several days, when Princess Hongye asked, she just shook her head: "My daughter is fine, mother is worried."
Murong Zhao held Princess Hongye's shoulders: "Since Xiu'er is back, you should go and rest too, don't burn yourself out, I will take care of Xiu'er."
Murong Xiu also persuaded her to go back to her room to rest, but Princess Hongye couldn't help it, so she had to wipe away her tears and leave.
Murong Xiu looked at her back with mixed emotions in his heart.
Ever since Princess Hongye married her father, the husband and wife have respected each other like guests, and their love is as thin as a thread. If she hadn't been holding the string in the middle, the two of them would have been separated like kites with broken strings.
At first she didn't understand why his father was Mr. Pian Pianjia and his mother was a well-known beauty in the capital, a match made in heaven, why their relationship couldn't compare to any ordinary couple.
It wasn't until later that she realized that there was a secret pain in her father's heart, and her mother also had a sweetheart, and the union of the two was nothing more than a relationship of interest.
Now the same fate has befallen her.
Thinking of what Chu Mingge said to her before leaving the palace, Murongxiu's brows were filled with anger and helplessness.
Murong Zhao said slowly, "Chu Mingge...he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Murong Xiu shook his head.
In the past few days, Chu Mingge did not make her suffer. Instead, he entertained her with delicious food, food, housing and transportation, and all the utensils are first-class, and his attitude is so friendly that it can be described as "abnormal".
Murong Xiu said with anger: "Before my daughter left the palace, he deliberately kept her and said that he would marry me as his concubine."
"Isn't that good? When he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you will be the empress of the world."
The corners of Murong Zhao's lips curled up, as if joking, the smile on the corners of his lips was like a flower in the ice and snow, beautiful but extremely cold.
Murong Xiu was in a hurry: "Father, don't make fun of your daughter. You know that she is a jackal and tiger in human skin. What about the position of empress? How can a daughter be so greedy for glory and wealth that she is willing to marry him?"
Murong Zhao clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, with such insight, she is worthy of being my daughter. But, have you ever thought about the essence of this wedding?"
Murong Xiu was taken aback, her cheeks flushed red: "Daughter is dull, please explain to father."
"Chu Mingge has already made preparations. I think that in a few days, he will be ready to announce to the world and take Dasheng's name as his own."
Murong Xiu was stunned: "So fast?! He is a Dazhou man, how can Dasheng's subjects be convinced, isn't he afraid that the people will unite against him?!"
"That's why he wants to marry you even more."
Murong Zhao sneered and shook his head: "He has no shortage of famous concubines, why should he give you the position of concubine? He is so decisive because of your mother."
"The eldest princess is an incomparably noble Dasheng princess. If you marry her, in the eyes of the subjects, it is equivalent to the eldest princess standing on Chu Mingge's side. The eldest princess doesn't care about it, so the subjects naturally won't have too many objections. "
Murong Xiu was furious: "Did father let him use us like this?!"
Murong Zhao smiled secretly: "Tomorrow, the guard of honor for Prince Da Zhou will arrive."
Murong Xiu looked at him with doubts in his eyes.
Dasheng and Dazhou live next to each other, and the strength of the two countries is comparable. For a hundred years, they have regarded each other as enemies. It was not until Chu Mingge's grandfather's generation that the relationship between the two countries improved. The younger sister's marriage brought the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries to a higher level.
However, after Chu Yan impulsively executed Yuan Jieyu, the relationship between the two countries returned to the original point.
Because of Murong Zhao and Chu Mingge's joint efforts to govern, Dazhou's military strength and national power are now inferior to Dasheng's. The cruel and silent palace change a few days ago made Dasheng's court crumbling and the people's hearts unstable. At this moment, the two All countries need long-term peace to seek breathing opportunities for development.
Therefore, this time Dazhou specially sent the prince to show how much he attached importance to this matter, Chu Mingge did not dare to treat it perfunctorily.
When Prince Dazhou arrived in Dasheng, he went to greet him in person.
The reception and cleansing banquet will be held in Zichen Palace.
The Shengge is melodious, the eyes are full of beauty, the cups are mixed, the chatting and laughing are lively, after three rounds of drinking, all the accompanying subjects are drunk.
Chu Mingge turned the wine glass in his hand, the wine in the glass was fragrant and showed an amber color.
"His Royal Highness, please."
The young man on the opposite side had a smile on his lips, nodded slightly in response, and drank the wine in the glass. Murong Zhao smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is a good drinker."
The young man's facial features are exquisite, his face is concise, and he is dressed in brocade clothes, giving him an overwhelming aura of nobility.At first glance, it is almost impossible to look directly at it.
It was none other than his half-brother, Chu Cang, Prince of the Great Zhou.
Chu Cang is the eldest son of Zhonggong, who has been favored since he was a child, and he can be called the proud son of heaven.
His mother was inseparably related to Yuan Jieyu's death, and Chu Mingge's childhood humiliation all stemmed from that bloodless frame-up. At this moment, he was sitting opposite Chu Cang, but his expression was very peaceful.
