„Offers the king heir apparent......” “献王世子……” On clear/pain sovereign the face reveals to ponder over the color, a moment later, nods, said: „Makes him go to the capital.” 楚皇脸上露出思忖之色,片刻之后,点了点头,说道:“让他进京吧。” Good that the prime minister said that must from these heir apparents of Chu imperial family, choose one not to have the medicine to rescue, only then offered the king heir apparent. 丞相说的不错,要从楚国皇室的那些世子中,挑选出一个还不那么无药可救的,也只有献王世子了。 The position of crown prince, not only relates to the next emperor, many officials with Imperial Court , many benefits involve. 储君的位置,不仅仅关系到下一位皇帝,与朝中的诸多官员,也有不少利益牵扯。 Originally with offering the king relates significantly, in the heart is happy, as for supporting the officials of other heir apparents, in the heart will also lose unavoidably. 本就和献王关系匪浅的,心中自是高兴,至于支持其他世子的官员,心中也难免会有失落。 However the prime minister and your majesty has opened the mouth, this matter also almost settled down. 然而丞相和陛下都已开口,此事也差不多尘埃落定了。 Then at this time, an official walked to go forward, bows saying: „Your majesty, does the envoy in little as if country's, yesterday to Capital, your majesty want to summon them?” 便在这时,一名官员走上前,躬身道:“陛下,小宛国的使臣,昨日到了京都,陛下要不要召见他们？” „little as if country?” clear/pain sovereign, on the face of people appeared incessantly the color of doubts. “小宛国？”不止楚皇,众人的脸上都浮现出了疑惑之色。 little as if and Capital, have remote of thousand li (500 km), the western region and Chu, what also never has to relate, little as if sends an envoy to come to Beijing, what matter also meets for? 小宛和京都,有着千里之遥,西域和楚国,也从来没有过什么联系,小宛遣使来京都,又会是为了什么事情？ The prime minister thinks, said: „Your majesty, little as if already today we are no longer as we have been, although before us has not established diplomatic relations, but treats these envoys, cannot profane.” 丞相想了想,说道:“陛下,小宛已今非昔比,虽然与我们之前并未建交,但对待这些使臣,也不可轻慢。” In clear/pain Huangxin has not profaned the thoughts of little as if envoy, present little as if, already not compared with on Chen clear/pain weak many, regarding and great nation of their same rank, must have enough respect. 楚皇心中并没有轻慢小宛使臣的心思,如今的小宛,已经不比陈楚弱上多少,对于和他们同等级别的大国,要有足够的尊重。 He has not despised too small as if, even when they is a western region small country, he still quite attaches great importance to this country, even, many systems of Chu, profited from and learn/study little as if. 况且,他从来就没有轻视过小宛,即便在他们还是一个西域小国的时候,他也对这个国家颇为重视,甚至于,楚国的很多制度,都是借鉴和学习小宛的。 In addition, as an extremely proud person, he to that little as if king monarch sovereign, in the heart somewhat is also admiring. 除此之外,作为一个极度骄傲的人,他对那位小宛国主,心中也有些钦佩。 He only pondered flickers, then says: „Asked them to enter the palace......” 他只思考了一瞬,便开口说道:“请他们进宫吧……” The several envoys in western region, under two Chu officials' leadership, entered the imperial palace. 西域的几名使臣,在两名楚国官员的带领下,进了皇宫。 Several people enter a main hall, Mr. slow to standing arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest in the above man, bows saying: „slow Lingjian Chu emperor.” 几人走进一座大殿,徐先生对站在上方的男子拱了拱手,躬身道:“徐凌见过楚国皇帝陛下。” His behind several officials, bows to salute. 他身后的几名官员,也纷纷躬身行礼。 clear/pain sovereign visits him, on the face appeared unusual look, said: „Unexpectedly is little Prime Minister as if, We had heard so much about you.” 楚皇看着他,脸上浮现出了一丝异色,说道:“竟是小宛宰相,朕久仰大名了。” Chu before several years, learn/study little as if who started to intend, regarding little Wan's situation, he naturally understood others were more. 楚国从数年之前,就开始有意的学习小宛,对于小宛的情况,他自然比其他人了解的多一些。 Then including little Prime Minister as if name. 这其中,便包括小宛宰相的名字。 This person has the ability extremely, will otherwise not become little Wan's prime minister who must learn/study Chu. 此人极有才能,不然也不会成为连楚国都要学习的小宛的宰相。 Also because comes the specialness of person status, causes clear/pain sovereign to his purpose in coming, had very deep suspicion. 也正是因为来人身份之特殊,使得楚皇对他的来意,产生了很深的怀疑。 Mr. slow raised the head, says with a smile: „Your majesty overpraised.” 徐先生抬起头,笑道:“陛下过誉了。” clear/pain sovereign is curious their purposes in coming, does not have the thoughts and they empty with the winding, asked: „little as if and Chu great distance thousand li (500 km), the prime minister did not come this, can have the important matter?” 楚皇好奇他们的来意,也没心思和他们虚与委蛇,问道:“小宛和楚国相隔千里,宰相不远来此,可有要事？” Mr. slow has not beaten around the bush, cups one hand in the other across the chest again: „Is open about the facts your majesty, Xu this time comes, presents life of the king monarch sovereign, seeks a marriage alliance to your majesty.” 徐先生也没有绕弯子,再次拱手到:“不瞒陛下,徐某此次前来,是奉国主之命,向陛下求亲的。” „Seeks a marriage alliance?” clear/pain sovereign the brow slightly wrinkle, asked: „Whose kissing/betrothal asked?” “求亲？”楚皇眉头微皱,问道:“求谁的亲？” slow first unfamiliar road: „King monarch sovereign admires Changning princess for a long time, the western region is willing with Chu, altogether to tie the marriage alliance, Xu this time comes to your country, represents the king monarch sovereign, asked to marry Changning princess......” 徐先生道:“国主仰慕长宁公主已久,西域愿与楚国,共结秦晋之好,徐某这次来贵国,是代表国主,求娶长宁公主的……” Such remarks, in the palace somewhat is then peaceful. 此言一出,殿内便有些安静。 little as if king monarch sovereign is the lord of western region, the princess marries him, does not entrust the body, if Chu can become friends with such a powerful ally, regarding the Chu future development, is very advantageous. 小宛国主已是西域之主,公主嫁给他,也并非委身,如果楚国能结交这样一个强大的盟友,对于楚国未来的发展,也是非常有利的。 However the people also knew in the heart, your majesty regarding this only princess, is what kind of favoring drowns, in the past Chen Guo sought a marriage alliance, in addition your majesty has not complied, let alone was the western region? 然而众人也心知,陛下对于这位唯一的公主,是何等的宠溺,当年陈国求亲,陛下尚且没有答应,更何况是西域？ Really, after hearing the words of Mr. slow, clear/pain sovereign the complexion sinks immediately. 果然,在听到徐先生的话之后,楚皇的脸色立刻沉了下来。 „Is it possible that is prime minister joking inadequately with Us?” clear/pain sovereign complexion tranquil visits him, said: „little as if can, from a negligible small country, step by step the unified western region, regarding your country king monarch sovereign, in Our heart also very be in 20 years admiring, however his age, how many should unable to miss with Us, now he says that wants to marry Our daughter, did not think that some are inappropriate?” “宰相莫非在和朕开玩笑不成？”楚皇面色平静的看着他,说道:“小宛能在20年的时间里,从一个微末小国,一步一步统一西域,对于贵国国主,朕心中也很钦佩,然而他的年纪,应该和朕差不了多少,如今他却说想娶朕的女儿,不觉得有些不合适吗？” Mr. slow smiles, said: „Your majesty misunderstood, what you said is the former king monarch sovereign, now, few king monarch sovereigns have replaced the old king monarch sovereign position, becomes the master in western region, the age of few king monarch sovereign, with the princess is being similar......” 徐先生笑了笑,说道:“陛下误会了,您说的是前国主,如今,少国主已经接替了老国主的位置,成为了西域的主人,少国主的年纪,和公主是相仿的……” little as if changed the master unexpectedly, the clear/pain sovereigns are somewhat accidental, indignant elimination in heart, even if the matter is not such that he imagines, he will not comply with this matter. 小宛竟是换了主人,楚皇有些意外,心中的气愤消去,然而即便是事情不是他想象的那样,他也不会答应这件事情。 Not to mention Chu and Chen Guo were the friendly ally relations, but western region and Chen Guo, actually potential with water and fire, if complied with seeking a marriage alliance of western region, to stand in Chen Guo opposite? 且不说楚国和陈国乃是友好的盟国关系,而西域和陈国,却势同水火,若是答应了西域的求亲,岂不是站在了陈国的对立面？ Drew back 10,000 steps saying that even if Chen Guo will not produce discontentedly, the daughter of his stubborn temper, will not comply. 退一万步说,就算是陈国不会产生不满,他那位脾气倔强的女儿,也不会答应。 As the father, he is very clear, several years pass by, in her heart still also has that person. 作为父亲,他十分清楚,几年过去,她的心中依然还有那个人。 However, she is thinking that person, is actually being the prime minister in Chen Guo, has the lovely wife concubine, merry boundless, often remembers this matter, he then wishes one could to come from Chen Guozhua him, exhausts 18 torture on him, can solve the resentment in his heart slightly. 然而,她想着的那个人,却在陈国做着宰相,坐拥娇妻美妾,快活无边,每每想起这件事情,他便恨不得将他从陈国抓来,在他身上用尽十八般酷刑,才能稍解他心中的怨气。 Which reason, he will not comply with seeking a marriage alliance of western region tranquilly, the complexion looks at several envoys in western region, said: „Chu is willing to coexist with your country in a friendly way, but the disagreement/not with kisses/intimate does not present tribute, is the Chu present law of the land, with the matter of kissing/betrothal, the prime minister did not need to raise again.” 无论是出于哪一个原因,他都不会答应西域的求亲,脸色平静的看着西域的几位使臣,说道:“楚国愿意和贵国友好共处,但不和亲不纳贡,是楚国如今的国法,和亲之事,宰相不用再提了。” Mr. slow sighed, said: „That was really regrettable......” 徐先生叹了口气,说道:“那真是太遗憾了……” The western region envoy has not pestered, came as a surprise to clear/pain sovereign actually, actually also saved lots of troubles for him, he looks at several people, said: „Several come from far away, might as well first went back to rest on several th, waits to have been, We invited the friend from western region personally......” 西域使臣没有就此纠缠,倒是出乎了楚皇的预料,却也为他省去了很多麻烦,他看着几人,说道:“几位远道而来,不妨先回去休息休息,等到过上几日,朕亲自宴请来自西域的朋友……” After several people leave the imperial palace, an official looks at Mr. slow, for: „As if slow, Chu above this matter, the leeway that has not a little discussed that this king monarch sovereign confessed that gives our matter, feared that somewhat was difficult to manage......” 几人离开皇宫之后,一名官员看着徐先生,为难道:“徐相,楚国在此事之上,似乎没有一点儿商量的余地,这次国主交代给我们的事情,怕是有些难办了……” Mr. slow shakes the head, but mysterious smiles, said: „Relax, this matter, the king monarch sovereign has the arrangement, calculates the day, the king monarch sovereign recently should also to arrive......” 徐先生摇了摇头,只是神秘的一笑,说道:“放心吧,这件事情,国主自有安排,算算日子,国主近日应该也要到了……” „What, did the king monarch sovereign come to Chu?” “什么,国主来楚国了？” Several people hear the word in great surprise, speak the inquiry, however Mr. slow has not disclosed more news again. 几人闻言大惊,纷纷出言询问,然而徐先生却是没有再透露更多的消息了。 After a double-hour, Gongzhufu. 一个时辰之后,公主府。 A court lady stands in Li Tianlan front, said: „Returns to the princess, the news determination is unmistakable, little as if this time sent the envoy to come to our Chu, wanted to seek a marriage alliance to the princess.” 一名女官站在李天澜的面前,说道:“回公主,消息确定无误,小宛这次派使臣来我们楚国,是想要向公主求亲的。” She looked at Li Tianlan, added quickly: „They just opened the mouth, was rejected by your majesty, the princess does not need to be worried......” 她看了一眼李天澜,又很快补充道:“不过他们刚刚开口,就被陛下拒绝了,公主不用担心……” Li Tianlan nods, said: „I knew, you first get down.” 李天澜点了点头,说道:“我知道了,你先下去吧。” The maidservant complied with one, bowed to draw back. 那侍女应了一声,躬身退了出去。 After her form disappears, Li Tianlan arrives at the window slowly, looked at the distant deep blue sky, in the heart was actually floating off a irritation, a hidden bitterness. 她的身影消失之后,李天澜缓缓走到窗边,望着远方碧蓝的天空,心中却浮起了一丝烦躁,还有一丝幽怨。 Three years of deadline, has surpassed for a year, but she during this period, received two letters, in the letter/believes said that he had the important matter to delay, after getting through the matter, catches up immediately. 三年的期限,已经超过了一年,而她在这期间,也只是收到了两封信,信上说他有重要的事情耽搁,办完了事情之后,就会立刻赶来。 This delays, is entire one year. 这一耽搁,便是整整一年。 Must say in her heart not to have the resentment, naturally is not possible, is only she as the princess, usually in exposes before the people, possibly is not a hidden bitterness woman image. 要说她心中没有怨气,自然是不可能的,只是她作为公主,平日里在众人面前展露的,绝不可能是一个幽怨的女人形象。 For a long time, she breathes a sigh of relief long, depresses being inwardly angry in heart, at this time, the court lady walked, said: „Princess, outside the mansion has named Tang Ning, wants to see you.” 许久,她才长舒了口气,将心中的愠怒压下,这时,有一名女官走进来,说道:“公主,府外有一个叫唐宁的,想要见您。” The voice falls, she only felt that at present the remnant shadow has delimited together, is looking at already the main hall of nobody left, the trembling sound said: „Duke, princess......” 话音落下,她只感觉眼前一道残影划过,望着已经空无一人的大殿,颤声道:“公,公主……” Outside Gongzhufu, the small quick pace runs, hugs with the form that walks from the mansion in the same place, Li Tianlan visits her, the smile said: „For a long time does not see, grew......” 公主府外,小小快步跑过去,和从府内走出来的身影抱在一起,李天澜看着她,微笑道:“这么长时间不见,又长高了……” Tang Ning walks to go forward, on the face shows the smile, said: „For a long time does not see......” 唐宁走上前,脸上露出笑容,说道:“好久不见……” Li Tianlan turns the head to visit him, tranquil asking: „Who you are, do we know?” 李天澜转头看着他,平静的问道:“你是谁,我们认识吗？”
