Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 414 The Dust Settled, The Loyal General (1)
When the news of King Yan's great victory was transmitted back to Liangcheng, the whole palace was boiling.

Originally, King Yan's substitute was still pretending to be sick in the palace. Except for a few close concubines, no one knew that King Yan had led an army to raid the capital.

Now King Yan has proclaimed himself emperor, set his capital in Beijing, and changed his year name to Jianyuan, which is Emperor Jianyuan. The people who used to be in King Yan's mansion can be said to have risen and prospered.

After Princess Yan heard the news, she couldn't hide the ecstasy on her face. She grabbed Mama Wang and asked in a trembling voice, "If the prince is enthroned as emperor, then I will be...the queen?"

"Yes!"

Mother Wang smiled from ear to ear, quickly bent her knees and saluted, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the princess... no, congratulations to the queen!"

"Rewards, all rewards!"

Princess Yan stood up slowly, with a smug smile on her lips, as if she was already looking forward to the moment when she stepped into the imperial palace in Shangjing, the mother of the world!
Concubine Shi Fang knew the news earlier than Princess Yan, but she kept her composure and heard the cheers from Zhengyuan, she couldn't help but sneer: "I really thought I could be a queen, and be her queen." Spring and Autumn Dream!"

Yunxiu also smiled and said: "When the servant girl passed by the main garden, the princess was giving rewards to the people in the garden. I heard that everyone got two eight-cent silver coins. People are so happy like something, really ignorant!"

Concubine Shi side lowered her eyebrows slightly, blew on the bright red Danko that she had applied evenly, and said indifferently: "Let them be happy now, wait until the prince... oh no, wait until the emperor returns to take care of the matter here There must be no good fruit for her to eat!"

Concubine Shi side snorted coldly, Princess Yan still doesn't know what disaster she has caused, but her father's letter to her home clearly stated that the princess is about to be unlucky, and she wants to be a queen. wishful thinking.

Yunxiu's eyes waved gently, and she responded with a smile, "The side concubine is right."

"Send someone to report the news of the emperor's great victory to Pei's mansion. Mr. Pei has made great contributions this time, and it will be a matter of time before he gets promoted!"

Concubine Shi stood up holding Yunxiu's hand, and walked out slowly, "Such a good news has come back, we should also go to Sister Fan to have fun, anyway, she is also the future imperial concubine, originally Gong should give her this face!"

Concubine Shi's tone seemed to put herself in a higher position than the imperial concubine. Besides the queen, who else could have such a magnanimity?

Yunxiu responded, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

The mother sent by Concubine Shi to report the letter almost stepped into Pei's mansion with Dongfang Tou. Ji Chonglian did not shy away from it, and invited Dongfang Tou to sit aside and listened to what the reporter's mother said.

Dongfang Tou scratched his head with a smile, and said a little embarrassingly: "The news from the side concubine is fast, so I made a trip for nothing."

He just wanted to come to Ji Chonglian as soon as possible to please him, but he didn't expect this message to come from someone else's mouth, and his interest suddenly faded.

Ji Chonglian smiled and shook her head, rewarded the mother who reported the letter with a purse of two taels of silver, and asked Caiqiu to send her out in person, then turned to Dongfang Tou, jokingly said: "Why don't you report it again, it's okay Well, I also have a reward!"

"Sister-in-law, don't make me happy!"

Dongfang Tou pursed her mouth, that funny appearance made Ji Chonglian burst into a hearty smile.

Her jet-black hair was shining with black oil, and her bright eyes were like lakes in spring, sparkling under the sunlight. The smile she covered her lips had both the innocence of a young girl and the charm of a young woman. The end is boundless style.

Seeing Ji Chonglian like this, Dongfangtu's eyes were startled suddenly, and then he lowered his head in a panic, trying his best to hide his strangeness.

During this period of time, he was entrusted by Pei Yan, and he always visited Pei's mansion from time to time, and he often came into contact with Ji Chonglian. After coming and going, the relationship between the two became familiar. .

But I don't know what's wrong, when I saw Ji Chonglian today, why did he have such a blushing and beating heartbeat?

Dongfang Tou threw his head violently, wanting to throw this feeling out of his mind, of course he knew the relationship between him and Pei Yan, some things he couldn't do, he couldn't even think about it, otherwise their brotherly friendship What is it? !

Dongfang Tou's hands hanging on his knees slowly clenched into fists, his face became stiff for a moment.

Ji Chonglian laughed for a while, and seeing that Dongfang Tou didn't answer, she asked with concern, "But what's wrong?"

"No, no!"

Dongfang Tou was startled, and stood up in a hurry. Because of too much force, he brought down the black lacquered wooden chair behind him all at once. He glanced at Ji Chonglian in a bit of embarrassment, and said incoherently: "Sister-in-law, I I won’t be here for long, the battle is set for the first time, I also want to go back to the city defense to have a look, and after we have settled with the King of Xiliang, we should withdraw our troops..."

"Look at your shapeless appearance, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law and go home and take care of yourself!"

Ji Chonglian straightened her expression, nodded with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful!"

Dongfang Tou responded, quickly pulled out the chair and stood it up, and then stepped back quickly. His footsteps were like the wind, and he didn't slow down until he turned two corridors.

Thinking of what Ji Chonglian said, Dongfang Tou frowned slightly. Ji Chonglian asked him to marry a wife and go home early. She said this a lot on weekdays. Why did it sound so harsh this time?

And her exhortation and concern for him, but it seems to be the most beautiful voice in the world...

The two contradictory emotions clashed in Dongfang Tou's chest, making him even more depressed. He raised his fist and hit the red lacquered wooden colonnade. A deep blot.

Looking at his red fist, Dongfang Tou left Pei's mansion with a sullen expression.

But Ji Chonglian didn't notice Dongfang Tou's strangeness. This person is so casual on weekdays. Maybe this is the common problem of ordinary dudes. To put it nicely, it's straightforward and informal by nature, but at worst, it's a bit dissolute. Now it can't involve her.

If Pei Yan had been growing up in Shangjing, he might have contracted the bad habits of the children of high-ranking officials and noble families. Ji Chonglian was glad that he had these tribulations in his life, which not only smoothed his edges and corners, but also precipitated his wisdom. Come to understand the meaning of cherishing.

Just like a pearl hidden in a shell, without the tempering of time and the baptism of sand and stones, how can it show the hidden luster and brilliance to the world at the moment when the shell opens? !

Ji Chonglian turned back to the main room with a face full of joy, Liu Li had already stood respectfully in the yard with the maids and women who were full of the courtyard, and when they saw Ji Chonglian's arrival, they all saluted and said: "Congratulations, Mrs. , Mrs. Hexi!"
