Chapter 588 (1/2)
On the other side, the eighth princess's bedroom is in the middle.
Empress an sat on Luohan's bed, took warm wine by the hand, and asked anxiously, ”Jiujiu, what's the matter with Emperor Yan? Why did he enter your princess's house with great fanfare when he came to the capital of Western Chu, and today he talked to your father and emperor that he must marry you anyway? Didn't you forget all your previous things? Why did you suddenly like him...”
”I can't say a word or two about this clearly.” Wen Jiu interrupted, blinked and said in a warm voice: ”although I have forgotten a lot of things, I was full of joy when I saw this man. I was very happy when I heard him talk, and I was also very happy when he approached me. Empress mother... I don't know how to tell you this feeling...”
She said, bending her eyes and smiling, her eyes filled with warm light, ”I can't remember things, so I write all the important things in an account book, and take it out every time I wake up.”
Ann didn't interrupt, but looked at her daughter gently.
All the maids were outside the door. Only mother and daughter sat opposite each other in such a big bedroom.
It has been three years since Wenjiu returned to the capital of Western Chu, but they rarely spend time alone.
Wen Jiu said slowly, ”yesterday I counted the things recorded in the account book. There were two at most. One was about gold and silver treasures, with 87 times. The other was Xie Heng and Xie Dongfeng. After removing the small half of the account book torn away, there are 99 times left.”
She said, suddenly raising her eyes to say hello, ”does the queen mother know what kind of person I used to be?”
After an was slightly stunned, he said softly, ”the national teacher said that you used to love yellow and white things.”
”The National Master said?” Wen Jiu smelled the speech, took back the hand held by empress an and said positively, ”the national master was wrong. I don't love yellow and white things very much. Gold and silver are to me like blood and life.”
Her eyes were like ink, and her words were clear: ”since Xie Dongfeng is more important than my life, I naturally want to believe him.”
After Ann saw such a sober highness eight for the first time, her eyes were slightly surprised. She was stunned for a long time before she asked, ”is that why?”
Warm wine nodded, ”that's enough.”
”Jiu Jiu.” empress an said emphatically, ”you are the legitimate Princess of the Western Chu, and you want to succeed as the empress in the future, but now you embarrass your father for someone you have forgotten. Why bother? The Western Chu and Dayan have the same national strength now. If you really go to war and make the people of the two countries in dire straits, do you really have the heart?”
Wen Jiu thought for a moment, and his eyes turned like ink and asked, ”how do we have to start a war? As long as my father raised his hand and let me go back to Dayan, Xie Heng will not send troops innocently, and there will be no war between the two countries worried by his mother.”
She said to herself:
It was simple.
But these people like to think about complexity.
Empress an pursed her lips and said in a slightly changed tone: ”are you so sure that Xie Heng will not send troops? Has Dayan ever stopped fighting against other countries in recent years? Maybe he came to Western Chu this time under the guise of marrying you and secretly arranged in Western Chu, hoping to dominate the world!”
Warm wine tilted her head and looked at Ann in front of her like a star. ”Did the empress mother forget where you are?”
An Hou's eyes were slightly sluggish and speechless for a moment.
Wen Jiu continued: ”then I remind my mother that you are the princess of Dayan married to the Western Chu Dynasty. You were born in Dayan and grew up in Dayan. At that time, you married your father to keep the peace of Dayan's border. Don't say Xie Heng won't send troops. If he really wants to dominate the world, my mother, as the princess of Dayan, why not do it?”
She got up slowly, and the golden sunshine through the small porch window fell on her, shrouded in a faint halo.
