She personally offered it, and Yue Pengju took a sip, "Good tea, it tastes really good."
She smiled sweetly and downed a cup herself. "Pengju, I'll boil some wine for you from now on, okay?"
"Good, good, good."
Yue Pengju saw that her eyes were bright and his smile was bright, that taste was even above the taste of the tea, and he couldn't help but hug her to his side. He smelt the fragrance of tea all over her body, and when he lowered his head, he immediately kissed his bright red lips.
"Ugh …"
She was buried in his arms, unable to breathe for a long time. He held her close to him and saw that she had raised her face and kissed him again. This time, she had come to her senses and gently hugged his neck in response. The two of them lingered for a while. Seeing that it was already late, Yue Pengju finally sat up: "Elder sister, let's choose a good day for our wedding."
Because Hua Rong had received the King Qin's warning, it was obviously not a wise decision for a King Qin to get married here. She told her worries to Yue Pengju, who thought for a moment, then immediately said: "Then during this expedition, I will bring you out of here, and we will get married on the way."
She did not care about being shy and quickly nodded her head. If they were to get married on the way, then it would be fine as long as they officially deployed their troops. At least it would be better than getting destroyed by the King Qin and the others here.
"Elder sister, I'll be leaving first."
"Yes."
Yue Pengju hugged her again. While the two of them were deep in love, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried knocking on the door, wave after wave, as if they were about to break in.
Who would have thought that this fellow would stop coming out as soon as he went in. It was already late into the night and he was alone with his wife. Who knew what he was up to?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He couldn't hold it in any longer, he almost couldn't care less, he almost broke into the house.
Yue Pengju saw that Hua Rong's face changed drastically, and pulled her to his side. "Big sister, let me go take a look, to see who is so rude to you."
Hua Rong said in a trembling voice, "It's King Qin. It must be King Qin."
Yue Pengju opened the door, and King Qin rushed in with his blade raised. Yue Pengju had already prepared himself and dodged to the side. One blade was close to one blade, the other blade was killing, they had actually steeled their hearts to take Yue Pengju's life.
Hua Rong was so angry that her entire body was trembling, and she roared: "Qin Shangcheng, what are you trying to do?"
"I'll kill this brat tonight and see if he still dares to have any ulterior motives towards you." When he chopped down with his blade, he saw that Hua Rong had blocked and was both angry and sad. "Girl, are you still protecting him?"
"Elder sister, move to the side …"
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, Yue Pengju pulled her behind him and shouted: "King Qin, stop!"
King Qin should not have, his attacks were even fiercer, but he was not a match for Yue Pengju in the first place, plus the room was small and narrow, he was afraid of injuring Hua Rong, so with this slash, he directly knocked over the pot of tea that Hua Rong had just made.
Yue Pengju took the opportunity and blocked his blade: King Qin, thank you for saving my sister.
"Shameless brat, don't talk so much nonsense. Today, I will kill you!"
As Yue Pengju thought about how he had risked his life by going to the Jinying and saving his sister, he decided to hold back. He said, "King Qin, you go out first, I will have a good talk with you."
"I don't have anything to talk about with you. I won't stop until I kill you today."
Hua Rong was afraid that the battle would startle others, and if Ninth Prince ascended the throne, the consequences would be unimaginable. Seeing the King Qin slashing at Yue Pengju again, she actually went forward to snatch his blade, "Qin Shangcheng, are you satisfied if you kill me today?"
King Qin retracted his blade, feeling indescribable grief and indignation, he spoke with a hoarse voice: "Little girl, are you really going to marry him?"
"What does it have to do with you? Get out of here. "
Yue Pengju remained calm and collected as he pulled Hua Rong to one side, "King Qin, I am grateful that you saved my sister. "If you still want to stay in the military camp, then listen to my orders. If you don't want to, then please leave."
He stared at Yue Pengju intently, "Yue Pengju, Hua Rong is my legal and proper wife. The reason why I came here today, is to take my wife away."
"Formal marriage? Who receives the betrothal gift for the matchmaker? King Qin, it's fine if you were bullying men and women on the island, but why are you still trying to argue now? From today onwards, my sister has nothing to do with you. If you continue to pester her, don't blame me for being impolite. "
King Qin was angered until his eyes turned red, he extended his hand to pull Hua Rong: "Today, I will definitely take my wife away."
How could Yue Pengju allow him to pull his? Taking a step forward to protect Hua Rong, he blocked him from the side. At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, it was Yue Pengju's close subordinates who had heard the news and rushed over.
"It's fine. You two guard it first."
Seeing that he had the military power now, even if they fought, she was not his match. Looking at Hua Rong, she only paid attention to the wounds on Yue Pengju's hands, and did not pay attention to him at all. With this comparison, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quietly hid his injured arm, turned around, and left.
Seeing his figure disappearing outside the door, Hua Rong heaved a long sigh and fell back onto the chair, unable to make a sound.
Yue Pengju looked at the mess on the ground, and because of King Qin's harassment, he felt very heavy in his heart. He cleaned up quickly, carried Hua Rong to the bed, and said gently: "Big sister, the sky is about to brighten, you need to rest."
She forced a smile and nodded. "What about you?"
"I have to go back too. I have to be on duty early in the morning."
Hua Rong nodded her head and closed his eyes. Yue Pengju walked to the door, then turned back and saw her eyes staring at him again. He smiled: "Big sister, don't be afraid.
She shook her head. "I'm not afraid. Don't worry about me."
Yue Pengju then stepped out of the door and raised his head to look at the sky. In the eastern sky, a hint of fish-belly whiteness had already appeared. First day of May, a new era was about to begin, but, for Da Song and for her life, was this day good or bad?
Although he was only slightly injured, the anger and sorrow in his heart was hard to put into words. He concealed himself to the side, but when he saw Yue Pengju walking out with a spear in his hand, looking extremely majestic, in the dim light of the dawn, he truly was a young hero, a genius on the surface.
She deeply realized that Hua Rong's attitude toward him and herself was as cold as ice and fire. That girl actually didn't have any feelings for her at all. However, in his mind, she was not chasing after girls. Instead, she was deeply convinced that his wife had changed her mind, and that the main culprit who had caused her heart to change was actually this "shameless bastard", Yue Pengju.
The hatred of killing his father and stealing his wife was originally the greatest shame and humiliation in a man's life. How could he take it lying down? He regretted his impulsiveness now, so he made a plan. If he didn't find an opportunity to kill Yue Pengju, how could he dispel the anger in his heart?
In the afternoon, he did not go to eat, but a soldier that respected him as "boss" brought him two steamed buns. He munched on them randomly a few times, but before he finished eating, he heard someone at the door ask: "Where's Qin Shangcheng?"
When he heard Yue Pengju's voice, he walked out in large strides, "Little bastard, why are you looking for me?"
Yue Pengju waved his hand: "You may leave first."
After everyone left, there were only two people left in the room. King Qin glared at him and saw that he actually brought a bag of gifts along with two taels of silver.
Yue Pengju placed the thing down and bowed deeply. Seeing him bow in such a manner, the King Qin bellowed: "What the hell are you doing?"
Yue Pengju bowed again before saying, "Thank you for saving my sister. If it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to see my sister ever again. "
"NO!" King Qin, you should know that she is not my sister! I just like to call her that out of habit. "Elder sister doesn't like you and has already decided to marry me, so please stop pestering me."
King Qin grabbed the bag of things and ruthlessly threw it at his face, "Stinky kid, are you trying to use the travel fee to send me off?"
Yue Pengju did not dodge, and calmly replied: "Yes. I don't think you need to stay in the army any longer. That would be bad for you. If you really like your sister, you should think for her, not embarrass her. I owe you a favor. If you ever need it in the future, you will definitely go through fire and tread through water and return it to you. "
King Qin laughed out loud. "Yue Pengju, do you know what I hate the most?"
"What?"
"Back then, I didn't kill you with a single slash on the island. That was the only reason why I have the shame of stealing your wife."
Seeing his bloodshot eyes, Yue Pengju knew that he no longer had anything to say to this idiot, and only calmly said: "King Qin, if you have anything, just vent on me, but don't hurt my sister at all, if not, I will never forgive you."
"Yue Pengju, let me tell you this, if Hua Rong marries you, I will definitely not let you two live a peaceful life!"
Yue Pengju shook his head and turned away.
The bright light of the day seemed to foretell the good fortune of the Empire, but the morning sun only appeared for a moment before it was hidden. A cold wind blew, and once the morning was over, it began to rain.
The Ying Tian Palace became a temporary "palace" and the inauguration ceremony was held here.
The only direct prince of the Song Kingdom who escaped the Golden Man's pursuit, the Ninth Prince Zhao Deji, was going to ascend the throne here to become emperor.
Hua Rong had temporarily been ordered to stay close to Xu Caizhi and the others to protect the Shangguan Family as she ascended the throne. Hua Rong naturally could not decline, so she donned her military uniform and stood by the side of the crowd.
The Ying Tian was not big, as a separate city divided the city area into two parts: the north and the south. The four city gates were Yanhe Gate, Zhaoran Gate, Shuncheng City Gate, and Huizheng City Gate. The inauguration ceremony of the New Emperor was held in the magistrate court, and in addition, a small round altar was built in the east building of the magistrate court.
It was early in the morning. Ninth Prince wore 12 strings of pearls at the front and back of his crown, wearing a green robe, a golden dragon and phoenix leather belt around his waist, and red socks and red boots. Under the guidance of an envoy of etiquette, he stepped onto the round altar.
The old general Zong Ze and the others were outside, and had no time to rush back, so the only ones following behind him were Zhang Bangchang, Huang Qianshan and Wang Bo Yan. The ancients generally believed that the round place, the round altar symbolizes the heavens, its due north set up a tablet of Haotian God, under the laying of artemisia straw. The Emperor was the ruler of the world, the world created the god, and the God of Clear Sky was the ruler of the gods. On the east and west sides of the round altar, there were the ancestral tablets of the Taizu and Taizong respectively, and a mat was placed beneath it.
After the Ninth Prince had ascended the altar, he respectfully kowtowed to Haotian and his ancestors. However, he stood up straight with his hands folded, and with etiquette, he read out the words to Haotian and his ancestors on behalf of the Emperor, "The son of heaven, Zhao Deji, dares to announce to Haotian God and his ancestors' spirit. The Golden Man invaded, the two emperors were besieged, and the sect was ownerless. "As the son of a Daolord Emperor, Chende Ji has chosen to take over the throne, and has taken over Song Dynasty's prosperity."
