Drunk House

Zhou Gu left Beijing, and Su Rong was very uncomfortable with it.

That night, after she had dinner with the King of Nanchu, she didn't want to go back and sat at the table without moving for a long time.

The King of Nanchu looked at her, "Have you thought about Zhou Gu?"

Su Rong raised her eyelids without much energy, "Is it so obvious?"

The King of Nanchu was funny, "It's all written on your face."

Su Rong sighed and lay on the table, "Father, what do you think about me also going to the three southern states?"

"No matter what, you, the princess, can't leave. The government and the public are inseparable from you now." The King of Nanchu thought that he was just a decoration now. She did not want to ascend the throne and put him in this position. Moreover, He was very happy with this arrangement.

Su Rong looked at him sadly, "You are the king, don't you think it's shameless for you to say this?"

The King of Nanchu coughed, "Well, that's the fact."

Seeing that Su Rong's expression was not good, he quickly changed his words to comfort him, "It's just a matter of separation for a month or two..."

 “He said maybe three months.”

The King of Nanchu immediately said: "Three months is nothing. Think about it, didn't you come to the house to cancel the engagement, with the idea that there would be no relationship for a lifetime? Now people just leave the capital to go out on business. If everything goes well, a month Just came back."

Su Rong rolled her eyes, "Can it be the same?"

 “Why is it different?”

Su Rong was not angry, "The time we got together was short at that time."

"But what about Zhou Gu? We have only been together for a short time. Didn't he fail to pull away because you pulled away in time?" The King of Nanchu looked at her, "I just think about you and him. Maybe he is also thinking about you now that you are in charge of Nanchu." Jiangshan, who is so determined to prosper Southern Chu, he is the only one who can go to the three southern states, and he is also for your future."

"Of course I know." Su Rong sighed and muttered, "It's all because of you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave the capital."

"You are a princess. If the two of you leave together, the target will be too big. He now has the old prince as a reason, but you don't. If you leave the royal capital together, it is inevitable that no one will notice." Nan Chu Wang touched her head and said, "Okay, don't be depressed. You are a person who does big things. How can you learn from me? The love between children is long."

Su Rong was listless, "As soon as he left, I didn't know what to do at night. I didn't want to do anything but him."

The King of Nanchu shared his experience with her, "When your mother left me, I gritted my teeth and vomited blood in my heart to fulfill her righteousness. At that time, I thought that if you love someone, you should be good to her, and you should not tie her down. If the Liang Dynasty is destroyed, she will die in depression, so it is better to let her do what she wants to do. Later, when news of her death came from the Wei Dynasty, I regretted it so much that I wished I could die with her, but I am the king of Nanchu, and I cannot go with her. From then on, in the dead of night every day, regret gnaws at my heart. Only when I am drunk can I dream of your mother. I have been drunk every night, and it has been so many years. .”

Su Rong sat up, rarely feeling sorry for the person in front of her, "Dad, what about now? I stop you from drinking every day, and my mother can't sleep? Are you having a hard time every day?"

"No." King Nan Chu said sincerely: "Since you came back to me, I have been very happy every day. You look so much like your mother. I want to watch you get married and have children, and have grandchildren with you." Until you can't stay with me anymore, as Xie Yuan said, at that time, I can go to Jiuquanxia to see your mother calmly and tell her that you are fine. What she didn't see, I saw for her. , she must be very happy."

Su Rong suddenly felt relieved, "Compared to you and my mother, this brief separation between Zhou Gu and I is really nothing."

She felt that she was energetic and stood up, "Father, you are really good at comforting people. I am leaving. There are still several memorials. I have to think about how to approve them."

King Nan Chu smiled and waved his hand, "Hurry and leave."

Su Rong turned around and left. After she left, the King of Nan Chu sighed and muttered, "Even I can adapt to Zhou Gu leaving the capital, hey."

At this time, Prime Minister Ye was also asking Ye Guixue, "Did the concubine leave the capital really to pick up the old Duke and others on errands?"

Ye Guixue shook her head, "Before he left the royal capital, he met with me and asked me to help the queen control the court situation. He went to the three southern states."

Ye Xiang frowned, "There is something wrong with the three southern states. Is it the Nangong family's trump card to stay in Nanchu?"

 Other than this, I basically don’t think twice about it.

Ye Guixue nodded, "Maybe, he went to check."

Prime Minister Ye sighed, "The foundation of the Nangong family is too deep, and the princess is too broad-minded and magnanimous. This year, people with the surname Nangong are allowed to participate in the imperial examination and enter the court. If one day they turn against each other, it will be trouble after all. .”

Ye Guixue said: "The Nangong family members who stayed in Nanchu are all abandoned children. The queen has a broad mind, which is a good thing for the king. You cannot lose talented people and abandon them just because the future is uncertain. Need not?"

"That's right." Ye Xiang nodded and looked at his son in front of him, "Your mother is planning to find a new wife for your eldest brother. Shouldn't you also consider your marriage?"

Ye Guixue shook her head, "Let mother worry about big brother, I'm not in a hurry."

Ye Xiang looked at him and said, "My father made a mistake in the first place. Maybe I shouldn't have let you..."

"Father." Ye Guixue intercepted his words, "My son doesn't regret it, and he doesn't think it's wrong. Today's Nanchu is the prosperity that my son wants to see. If there is signs of prosperity, it's good now."

Ye Xiang gave up and said, "That's right. Let's wait for your marriage. There are so many things going on now, and you really don't have much time to think about marriage."

Zhou Gu led his men on fast horses and traveled two hundred miles in half a day. He did not plan to stay overnight, so he found a tavern for a brief dinner, took a short rest, and continued on his journey.

Cui Yuanbin had no objections to Liu Yuying and followed him on a fast horse all the way.

The horse ran for half the night before resting on the ground.

Liu Yuying leaned against the big tree and said, "It's been a long time since I rode a horse so happily."

 Cui Yuanbin was so tired that he no longer had the strength to speak, "I'm so tired."

Liu Yuying looked at him and said, "Husband, you are so useless. In the past few years, you have neglected to practice martial arts."

Cui Yuanbin closed his eyes, "When I was a child, I was most afraid of having to endure hardships to practice martial arts. Then when I met you, I could only grit my teeth and pick it up. Later, when we returned to Cui's house, even you were lazy, let alone me."

Liu Yuying sighed, "So, you still have to pick it up. If you hadn't been holding me back, I doubt Brother Gu wouldn't have rested at all tonight."

Cui Yuanbin was silent.

Liu Yuying leaned over and found that he was asleep with his head tilted.

Even though Zhou Gu had been riding for half a day and half a night, he didn't feel tired. He closed his eyes to rest, but he was thinking about what Su Rong was doing now. Did he fall asleep? Oh, he missed her. (End of chapter)
