The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 196 Change of Mind
In the uterus, Dongfang Xu received a letter, and seeing the beautiful handwriting on it, he couldn't help but move his heart, and the bottom of his black lotus-like eyes was full of anticipation.

However, after reading the letter, Dongfang Xu's complexion gradually calmed down.

It was night, the moon was sparse and the stars were sparse, pedestrians on the street in twos and threes, the street shops on both sides of the road were not yet closed, some restaurants and inns were even full of guests, and occasionally the shifters walked among them, and the loud and long voice crossed the night sky.In a courtyard not far away, some dry goods are drying, and the door is not closed at night.

In the night, under the moonlight, the handsome man strode towards a certain direction.

In an attic by the river, Yun Shu, who was disguised as a man, was already waiting there.

Today, she is still wearing a moon-white gown, which seems to be the same as in the past, but it also makes people faintly feel that there is a different kind of determination and composure, and she seems to be able to understand everything and plan strategies.

She lowered her brows and eyes, her clean appearance was spotless, she skillfully brewed tea between her fingers, and the slowly rising tea fragrance seemed to change constantly with her movements, just like her state of mind at the moment, ever-changing.

Dongfang Xu pushed the door open and entered, and the two men's eyes met, but they were both serious.

He took out the letter, his handsome face slightly condensed.

Yun Shu put down the tea set in her hand, her eyes longed, "What does the prince think?"

Dongfang Xu's eyes darkened. Did she call him the prince to remind him of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders?

He couldn't help but squeeze the letter tightly in his hand. The letter contained some evidence of Emperor Yi's recruitment of soldiers and horses, and the fact that Yi's power had penetrated deep into the court.

Dongfang Xu put the letter on the table, he already knew that the alliance between the two countries was a trap, in order to lower Chen country's vigilance.

Is this what she and the prime minister went to Kansas to investigate this time?
Yun Shu's eyes fell on the letter that Dongfang Xu put down, and her tone was deep, "The situation is urgent now, and there is not enough time for the prince to prepare. Yun Shu also discovered that some forces in the Lotus Kingdom also have contacts with the Chen Kingdom. I hope His Highness can consider the complexity."

"Lianguo?" Dongfang Xu was a little surprised
Lian Kingdom is an extremely mysterious country. It is said that the soldiers and horses are powerful, and Emperor Yi wanted to test the water several times, but he still did not dare to act rashly because he did not have sufficient preparations and did not know how powerful the opponent was. .

Yunshu carefully observed the changes on Dongfang Xu's face, and from his flickering eyes, she concluded that he didn't know about it.

It seems that the power of Lian Kingdom should not be invited by Chen Kingdom.

Yun Shu looked out of the window and looked at the innocent children running with small lanterns under the night, and couldn't help sighing softly, "Does the prince know how much effort it took to achieve this state of Chen? The current state of Chen, Although it is not in its prime, it is still rich, and every decision of His Highness is related to its future, I think the crown prince should not want to watch the people being displaced, right?"

Dongfang Xu didn't answer, but he could hear the meaning behind Yun Shu's words, and he couldn't help showing guilt on his face. He knew that he had neglected his duty.

At the same time, he suddenly felt that he had failed Yunshu's expectations of him.

I still remember that she said at the beginning that she wanted to help him strengthen Chen Kingdom...

Dongfang Xu was full of thoughts, and the bottom of his dark eyes put away the last bit of emotion, submerged into the night, deep, and no one could peep.

The two started to drink tea, neither of them spoke again, but there was an indescribable tacit understanding.

Yunshu knew that after today, he should be able to temporarily put aside his children's affair, so she reminded, "Princess Xiyue should be from the Yun family of Yi Kingdom, and she knows how to use medicine. The prince must be careful."

Dongfang Xu was a little surprised, why did she seem to know everything?

Yunshu saw through his thoughts, but now she didn't want to be timid, so what if the prince suspected him?
Holding the fragrant tea in her hand, she repeated with firm eyes, "The crown prince doesn't need to worry too much about it, all he needs to remember today is that the common enemy between you and me is the Kingdom of Yi, and that's enough."

Dongfang Xu glanced at her shallowly, and no longer thought about this question in his heart. Just as Yun Shu said, their common enemy now is the Yi Kingdom!

All of a sudden, the night that was originally bright and starry gradually sank, and the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, leaving an empty space, and the gradually dense dark clouds in the sky seemed to be the pressure that Dongfang Xu felt now, thick and heavy. And depressed!
The next day.

In the palace, the prince unexpectedly invited Princess Xiyue to enjoy the flowers.

In the palace, when Xiyue heard the palace man's report, she couldn't help covering her lips and frowning in shock.

"The prince really said that?" Xiyue seemed to be in a dream, feeling so unreal.

The palace servants who came to report back lowered their heads, "Princess Hui, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed explained so!"

"Then go and report to Your Highness, the princess will be there in a while!" Xiyue's beautiful face was slightly red, and she had the air of a little girl. Bring the skirt made by Rixin."

After a while, Xiyue, who was wearing a pomegranate red floral plain pleated skirt, came to the imperial garden gracefully.

Under her full attire, she is extremely glamorous, and the beautiful color rippling on her face is even more eclipsed by this hundred flowers.

"Concubine, see Your Highness!" Xi Yue stepped forward to salute, looking very happy.

Dongfang Xu's eyes fell on her, but he was not surprised. Instead, he changed his usual indifference and helped her up himself, "Princess, you are so polite!"

And Dongfang Xu's actions this time made Xiyue ecstatic. She raised her bright face and looked at the handsome and cold man in front of her for a moment. She couldn't restrain her heart. Surging, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly think of calling your concubines to enjoy the flowers?"

"Today, some pots of Yuxiang peonies were sent from outside the palace. I heard that the princess loves peonies very much, so I invited you rashly." Dongfang Xu's tone remained the same, but this change of attitude has already made Xiyue's heart flutter.She knew that the prince must have his own place in his heart, otherwise why would he specifically inquire about his favorite peony?

At this time, Dongfang Xu took out another small box from his cuff, "I was concerned about state affairs a few days ago and alienated the princess. I wonder if the princess can forgive me?"

"This... is this for a concubine?" Xiyue's eyes lit up.

Dongfang Xu opened the box himself, revealing the pearl hairpin inside. It was a very round and bright pearl. Although the style of the hairpin was simple, it was very chic. It was just that the moment Xiyue saw it, her original expectation There was a trace of disappointment, but it was a pearl...not a precious gem.Forget it, this is always the first gift the crown prince gave him. A man always doesn't understand what a woman wants. No matter what, it's best to be considerate of himself.

"What a unique hairpin! Your Highness really has a heart!" Xiyue took out the hairpin, "Why don't you bother the crown prince to help your concubine wear it?"

With a slight smile on Dongfang Xu's face, when his eyes fell on her black and smooth hair, he thought of Yun Shu, and the elegant and chic hairpin seemed to reflect Yun Shu's clear appearance, as well as her shallow The dusty temperament when laughing...

"Your Highness?" Xiyue's puzzled voice interrupted Dongfang Xu's thoughts.

He responded softly, and looked down at Xiyue, "Does the princess like it?"

Xiyue covered her mouth with a charming smile, "Then... Your Highness thinks Xiyue looks good wearing this hairpin?"

"En." Dongfang Xu's gaze was as deep as the sea, "It's still early, let's go to Luomei Garden."

Turning around, he walked to the front first, not letting Xiyue see the flash of indifference on his face.

Not far away, the queen had a panoramic view of this scene, and she could see every move of the prince very clearly. No matter what the reason was, now that he was able to put the overall situation first, the queen was very pleased.

Soon, the news of the prince's wedding came quietly from the palace.

The whole country was full of joy. In the palace, there were red hangings and festive red lanterns everywhere. Every day at the gate of the palace, guests presented precious jewels and high-quality silk and satin to the palace to express their congratulations.

For a time, it was very lively and full of people.

But at the moment the prince was in the attic of his own palace, watching the palace people busy in and out with indifference.

The handsome facial features did not show the joy of newlyweds at all, on the contrary, they became more and more solemn.

Although I know that I have to shoulder the responsibility, how can I get rid of the unwillingness in my heart to marry a woman I don't like?But thinking of Yun Shu's reminder, he felt that those who make big things don't care about small things, and now he can't afford to waste any time. Chen Guo can't wait, and neither can Yun Shu.

The breeze suddenly rose, shaking the red lanterns outside the palace, and also blowing up Dongfang Xu's hair, fluttering as if there was nothing.

With a long back, leaning against the railing, there is a bit of loneliness and helplessness...

On the other side of the palace, Princess Xiyue was dressing up in her bedroom. Thinking back to the faint smile that appeared on the handsome face of the crown prince admiring the flowers that day, ripples appeared in her heart, like a spring breeze, making that beautiful face Covered with a layer of blurred color.

Looking sideways at the hairpin in the vanity box, he couldn't suppress a chuckle at last.

It was so good that he was finally fascinated by himself.

"Congratulations princess!" Xin Lan, who was combing her hair behind her, immediately flattered her.

Xiyue smiled and said nothing, but she felt more and more proud in her heart.

At this time, the palace man came in holding the Fengguanxiapei from outside, "See Princess, this Fengguanxiapei has been finished, please take a look at it!"

Xiyue stood up upon hearing the sound, "Bring it to Ben Gong to have a look."

The palace servants immediately stepped forward to unfold the exquisitely crafted Fengguanxiapei one by one.

For a moment, the dazzling red made everyone's eyes shine. This wedding dress is simply perfect.

The satin surface of Su brocade, the embroidery of pure gold silk, and the ingenious tassels are all amazing, and the most wonderful thing is the Hua Yu wearing the phoenix, which is not only made of gold Embroidered with silk, each feather is embellished with a gemstone.

It is colorful, even in the bedroom, you can feel its dazzling luster.

Xiyue couldn't hide the smile on her face, she had never seen such a beautiful wedding dress before.

What made her even more excited was that from now on, she would be the Crown Princess of Chen Kingdom.
