The Words of the Number One

On the eighth day of June, it is suitable for marriage.

I straightened the last fold of the wedding gown for the woman in front of me, and put a golden fringed hair crown on her. This is the best Huani brocade, embroidered with the highest standard phoenix pattern of the Song Dynasty, which symbolizes the future dignity of the bride. This may be the wedding dress that most women dream of, but my sister is not happy.

My elder sister, the widowed daughter of Qi State who was subjugated, and the most famous beauty in the world——Jiang Qiqi. In order to get her, the four countries fought in a scuffle, and the final winner, Song Guojun, was finally able to marry my sister after annexing the other three countries.

The woman in the bronze mirror has an astonishingly beautiful appearance, a perfect outline that cannot be drawn even with a painting, and it is even more beautiful under the full makeup. Qiqi stroked her bun and said softly, "Jiujiu, you still don't know how to comb your hair."

I smiled and stroked her soft hair: "My sister always knows that I am stupid, do you want me to ask Mo Lan to comb her again?"

Qiqi grabbed my hand, she turned her head and looked at me: "What's the matter, Jiujiu combed it for me with your own hands. And this marriage, anyway, can't be concluded."

After she finished speaking, she was silent for a while, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes: "It's finally coming to an end, isn't it?"

I hugged her and patted her on the back: "Yes, it will be over soon."

My sister, she can finally end her grand revenge.

"Are we going to die?" she asked tremblingly, hugging me.

"We're all going to live."

She looked up and looked at me blankly. In the past few years, she has always done what I say. I knew that she was prepared to burn herself to death from the very beginning, and she didn't know what to do if she wanted to survive well.

What my sister did was revenge, what I did was to keep us alive, that's all.

I can only do so much.

The wedding is very lively and lively. I heard that there are more than ten countries, big and small, and each country sent congratulatory gifts and envoys to attend the wedding of the king of Song. I held my sister's hand and led her through the long red carpet, the fluttering petals and the grand drum music, through all the curious or flattering or contemptuous eyes. Naturally, all eyes were on the elder sister. After all, everyone wanted to see what kind of moving face this rumored beauty who caused troubles in the four countries had.

The king sitting on the seat, who was over half a hundred years old and still wearing the groom's red dress, smiled triumphantly. He just wanted to show off, showing off his achievements in defeating the Three Kingdoms and his beautiful concubine.

Among the bustling and intertwined figures of the guests, a man who looked like a guard suddenly jumped out, jumped up the steps very quickly and threw himself on King Song. The blood spattered three feet, King Song's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the dagger stuck in his chest in disbelief, piercing his heart exactly. As soon as the assassin succeeded, he drew his knife and killed himself, fell to the ground and died.

As if time was frozen, no one made a sound in the hall, only the drums of the celebration continued to play enthusiastically, celebrating the tragedy absurdly.

I don't know who shouted "Your Majesty!" All the guests were in a commotion as if they had just woken up from a dream. I couldn't help laughing when I saw Li Yan, the eldest son who was running towards King Song's corpse with an anxious expression on his face but carelessness in his eyes. .

This scene was really bloody, and it came faster than I imagined. Presumably, Li Yan, who is so talented and ambitious, has long been impatient with his father.

What's more, if he doesn't do anything, his father will marry his beloved woman.

Qiqi grabbed my hand tightly. She has always been kind and innocent, and she will panic when she sees blood. Although I told her long ago that this marriage was impossible, she definitely did not expect such a situation. I calmly said to Qiqi Fuer: "The four kingdoms that destroyed Qi lost three, and the king of one country died. Li Yan did not participate in the crusade against Qi. He loves you very much, and you can follow him with peace of mind."

Qiqi's voice was a little trembling, I couldn't hear what she said amidst the hustle and bustle of life, I just felt that she was holding my hand tightly, which hurt a little.

My gaze crossed the period and met the gaze of another person.

He is a young man dressed in brocade, with a pair of phoenix eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, and his lips are slightly raised. The color of the eyes is not as dark as ordinary people, but a crystal clear amber color. I thought that after seeing such a beauty as Qiqi, I would no longer find anyone beautiful, but he still amazes me. It was a slender, healthy and proud beauty, and an elegant breath emanating from the bones.

This is a kind of temperament that is easy to fascinate, like a light in the fog. I can guess that as long as he smiles, countless girls will be willing to fly moths into the abyss for him.

Judging by his hairstyle and clothing, it doesn't seem to be the style of any particular country, but it seems that he often travels in various countries. The eight beautiful maidservants stood behind him, all of them lowered their eyebrows and kept their eyes down, indifferent to the farce at the wedding.

Seeing me looking at him, he tilted his head and smiled slightly. Under his gentle appearance, he looked like a hunter sizing up his prey.

After finally calming down, Li Yan said in a deep voice to all the guests: "Father was assassinated and died. I will definitely find the real culprit for him. As for Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Jiang, the person who caused the disaster is an ominous person. Pull him down and give him death."

Over the years, her reputation has not been good, and the wars in the four countries were caused by her, and her reputation as a disaster has become very popular. In name of giving Jiang Qiqi to death, he wants to give his people and his ministers an explanation.

I lip-synced to Qiqi: "It's okay, he won't hurt you." This time, Qiqi's voice was very clear, and she asked me, "What about you?"

She stared at me with a pair of apricot eyes that were about to cry, pulling me and refusing to let go.

I smiled and let go of her hand: "We are going to part here, Qiqi."

Just as the soldiers were about to pull me down, someone said, "Wait a minute."

I watched the young man in brocade clothes come out from the crowd, and saluted Li Yan: "I wonder if Your Highness can sell this maid to His Majesty in order to save face."

Li Yan glanced at me, what he loves is period, and I'm just an insignificant existence. So he said: "Qu Qu is a maid, the second son of Ji is serious."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the crowd.

The second son of Ji—Ji Yu, such a famous person also came.

He was originally the second son of the current emperor of Zhou. Five years ago, his mother, stepfather and elder brother were abolished, and after the emperor was reinstated, he left the capital Luoyi to travel among the princes. Ji Yu was unpredictable and capricious, and did not accept any official position in any country, and made suggestions for whichever country he came to, most of which were related to war. I heard that he is gentle and gentle, but his words are sharp and his arguments are excellent. There is no plan that is not accepted, and there is no plan that does not work after being adopted.

I don't know how many wars have been fought because of Ji Yu these years, and how many countries have risen and fallen because of him.

When you are angry and the princes are afraid, and you live in peace and the world is quiet, you are the number one lobbyist in the world.

The sedan chair was a little bumpy, and it didn't know how long it had been walking, and suddenly stopped. I stepped out of the sedan chair, only to see Ji Yu standing in front of me, and the eight maidservants standing far away, he was dressed in a purple fine attire, a gentleman like a jade, just in response to his name. He smiled charmingly and saluted me: "Ji Yu has met His Royal Highness Ninth Princess."

I waved my hand: "It's nothing more than a princess who has lost her country. Your Highness, as you are, you don't need to salute anyone."

Ji Yu smiled but said nothing, but there was some contempt in that smile.

I was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you save me, Young Master?"

Ji Yu hooked her lips: "If I don't save you, you will have a way to escape, right? With the princess's intelligence, it would be a pity to fall into the hands of others."

I laughed: "My cleverness?"

"Everyone knows that the Seventh Princess is a good trick, which can attract the four countries that are allies to kill each other. But the kings of the four countries are not fools, and the Seventh Princess is just a bait. The huge plan behind this is from your hands."

I was stunned, only Qiqi and I knew about this matter, how did he know about it as a foreigner?

He seemed to know my doubts, and laughed: "Ji has also met the Seventh Princess, she is indeed an unparalleled beauty. It is a pity that the Seventh Princess has a pure heart and has not been deeply involved in the world. She is just an ordinary daughter's family. Planning? As for the Ninth Princess, Ji once heard a friend mentioning you, and from observations during this period, His Highness is not someone who is waiting for you."

"So as soon as the period happened, you were guessing who was behind the scenes. You came to the wedding this time because of me, isn't it?"

"good."

"Your Highness is so troublesome, what exactly do you want?"

"I want a maid who is also a helper."

I frowned: "Why do you think I will promise you?"

He laughed: "Because Princess Jiu is a smart person and knows the pros and cons. There is poison in the water you just drank. There is no way to eradicate this poison. You have to take the antidote every three months. If you don't take it within five days after the deadline, you will be rehabilitated." died of poison. And I am the only person in this world who knows the antidote."

He also said the threatening words lightly and easily, very calmly.

But I didn't feel angry either. Since there is no unreasonable help in this world, he is not a gentleman but he is also a villain to be honest.

"Servant, please see the young master." I bowed my head and saluted.

There was approval in his smile, but his voice faded, as if he was stating a fact: "Princess Ninth is dead from now on. You are the maid I got from Jiang Qiqi. Your name is Ah Zhi."

"Azhi understands."

I lowered my head, and under my eyes was a corner of Ji Yu's clothes, dark purple silk embroidered with dark flowing cloud patterns.

Floating clouds of the past, fleeting clouds and mist, all kinds of things in the world are just a few lines of ink in the history books. In the past, Master Taishi Ling of Qi State always said this to me.

From now on, there will be no Jiang Jiuqing in the world, and no one will call me "Jiujiu" softly. Jiang Jiuqing was buried in the dust together with Qi Guo without a sound. In the future, if someone is free to think about the past of Qi State, the beauty Jiang Qiqi, the four countries turned against each other, it is another story of loving beauty but not country.

No one would know that a woman named Jiang Jiuqing died at the wedding that shook the world.
