Surai Kasih Tiga Lives
Episode 144 Banquet 3
Still in the Hall, where the annual banquet was held, in the Tang Empire.
Hearing this, Ziaruo rounded his eyes for a moment.
The woman stood up from her seat, and walked over towards the old man, who called himself a man with the surname Gu.
With both hands, Ziaruo helped the man up, and said. ''Don't do this, you don't deserve to bow your body to me.''
In the midst of a festive party, the presence of the great general Gu, who approached and paid tribute, to the Empress of the country Zing, attracted the interest of all eyes there.
As if, it was a much more interesting spectacle, compared to the gleaming motion, the beautiful dancers in the middle of the room.
Meanwhile, those who were the center of attention (Ziaruo and old general Gu), tried as if they were unaware of it.
With the face made as appropriate as possible, the General quickly took something, from behind his clothes.
Although, the man is quite old, his hand movements are still very fast.
In fact, almost no one noticed, as he slipped a small scroll, behind his hand.
And, without coercion, he grabbed the hand of the beautiful woman, who was now standing right in front of him.
''Forgive this old man's boldness Your Majesty, for being so brash.'' Said the old man Gu, after reaching for his hand, and slipped a small piece of paper, into the palm of Ziaruo's hand he touched.
Empress Zing, realizing what the general's purpose was, and why the man touched her hand.
He only frowned at a glance, after sensing a small object, on his palm.
However, Ziaruo quickly returned a smile, and said. ''No, it is precisely this woman, who should apologize to you.''
Ziaruo slightly bent his body, grabbed the old man's hand, and carried it over his head.
''A father never puts his hands together, to apologize. However, giving warmth, as well as caresses of affection to his daughter.'' Ziaruo is back.
Getting such a response, a lot of things stirred in the old man's heart.
There are also many words that he wants to convey, to the woman he just met now.
It was ironic, a daughter-in-law he had never even met before, was able to present feelings, like a real princess, who had been separated for a long time.
And in fact, the woman was no longer even with the son.
And has rebuilt a new family, alongside another man far greater, than his son in the eyes of the world.
The great general Gu looked at Ziaruo softly, slowly opening his mouth, and ventured back.
''If you'd like, can you stop for a moment to our Gu residence, there's a woman, who really wants to know you.''
The man with that piece of talent, looked teary.
I don't know what he was thinking, and what his hope was, to the Queen of the neighboring country.
But clearly, Ziaruo understood what the old man was thinking, with a tantalizing glory for everyone.
However, Ziaruo found out that the man was pathetic under the real circumstances.
A man, with a resounding success until the age that began to climb the twilight, still reverberated in splendor.
However, what he had was just a pseudo-look.
In reality, he and his wife were no longer able to smile.
In fact, at the age of those who should be happy with the grandchild, now only filled with endless anxiety.
After the death of his son, he and his wife must continue to worry about the safety of the princess, who became one of the emperor's favorite concubines.
Old man Gu looked gallant, and dignified on the outside, but Ziaruo understood the emptiness, as well as the anxiety struggle in the man's heart.
''If there really was a chance, happily, this woman would be willing to come.'' Ziaruo replied, with gentleness.
Hearing that, both Jing, General Gu, concubine Gu and even, emperor Canzuo were shocked.
They did not believe that the beautiful woman agreed to what the General asked for.
''Even the news of Xu'er's pregnancy, is also not a good news.'' Continue again in the heart.
And Empress Yun, understand those thoughts.
For Ziaruo who can understand, and know all the thoughts of others, he can choose who he deserves to talk to, or deserves to be trusted.
Of the many thoughts there, no more than a single finger, which has sincerity for him.
Ziaruo walked back to his seat. He did not want any longer, attracting the attention of insincere eyes, among the lively party-goers.
''Your Highness...'' Call Ziaruo lirih.
''He.. I know, you want to see that woman right?.'' Reply Jing softly.
Hearing those words, Ziaruo slightly shifted his body, and again asked. ''Do you allow.''
''Heee...''
Emperor Jing sighed softly, there was a thought in his head right now, and of course Ziaruo knew about it.
The woman, chuckling softly as she closed her lips, with a piece of cloth, which was always attached to her hand, spontaneously.
''What are you laughing at?.'' Jing asked, with a squeak on the forehead.
''It's nothing Your Majesty, this woman only wants to see the General's wife, not to remember another man.'' Ziaruo replied, gently rubbing Jing's hand, which rested on her thigh.
Hearing the Answer, Emperor Zing rounded his eyes, he displayed a face full of shock.
''Is it clearly written on my face?.'' Asked Jiang jingwei's reflexes.
He felt like he was caught, jealous. And it was embarrassing for him.
A Jiang jingwei, in the middle of spouting a memory, belonged to the wife along with another man, who in fact, the man had long since died.
''Kel kel...'' Ziaruo chuckled even more.
In fact, he couldn't cover up his little laugh right now, from some of the people there.
The woman, also nodding her head several times, in response to Jing's question, her husband.
Seeing Ziaruo nod, Jing widened his eyes even more, and drew closer to Ziaruo.
''If you keep laughing like this, don't blame me for not remembering any explanation from the healer.'' Jing said softly, for it was too soft to sound, like a whisper to Ziaruo.
A moment after emperor Jing finished the remark, it was Ziaruo's turn to round his eyes wide.
With gestures, trying to shift away from the man, he said again. '' No more laughing.''
''Heeemmmzz.'' Jing continued, flirting with his wife, who was accompanied by a mischievous blink of an eye.
For Jiang Jingwei, whatever it was as long as she did it with the woman, whether it was just walking, or joking like now, she always felt immense happiness.
In fact, ever since Ziaruo's presence, it was as if he again had the feeling of a man in general returning.
Not only that, Jing also began to be able to trust others.
Although, it still prepares prevention, for the worst.
In other words, even though Jing was now beginning to be able to trust others, it was still full of fearful, alert thoughts, at the worst possible chance, of betrayal.
To him, it was only the woman (Ziaruo), who he deserved and could trust completely, until now.
............................
Leaving the chemistry that intertwined there, and turned to the owner of a pair of eyes above the throne, who stared at the two sharply.
Like a mighty eagle, who was targeting the emperor Jing, as a prey hunt.
"Well, while you're still with her." Canzuo muttered inwardly, full of rage.
