married daughter

Chapter 380 Negotiation
When Ruan Yunting heard this, a salty and astringent feeling spread in her heart. It's not that she has never seen life and death. If she really faced it, she would not be disappointed.Even though Xu Ningmeng was wrong, she was just a victim in the court struggle.Putting myself in the shoes of Xu Ningmeng, if she was in Xu Ningmeng's position, maybe she would be more vicious than Xu Ningmeng, and maybe she would die worse than Xu Ningmeng?

Death is like a lamp being extinguished, and any grudges or grievances can be written off. However, if this news reaches the Xu family, it may cause another uproar.

The emperor was also stunned for a moment. Xu Ningmeng's temperament did not seem like someone who would decisively seek death. He always thought that Xu Ningmeng would always die in the cold palace, and he would be taken care of by others to save her life.No fault, after all, she also gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and served him with all her heart and soul for so many years.Xu Ningmeng finally walked into the cold palace, and he also contributed to the flames. In fact, it was because of some political reasons that he hurt her, and he had some intention of making up for it.

However, she died.

The emperor pursed his lips and sighed after a long silence.

This sigh contained too complicated emotions, which made everyone in the imperial study feel heavy.

Ruan Yunting understands that if Xu Ningmeng is alive, she is just a sinner that the emperor would hate when he thinks about it. Even if no one framed her, she can only linger in the cold palace, living a life of confinement every day, enjoying life from a high place. The position of concubine falls to the level of a sinner, maybe the emperor will think that keeping her alive is a favor for her, but he doesn't know that it is the cruelest torture for her.She ended her life so resolutely, which disturbed the emperor's peaceful heart. Perhaps, those good memories between them in the early years will come back to the emperor's mind. Will the emperor's psychology be a little bit sad and nostalgic?
Joshua and Ya Ge understood what was going on, and both expressed their condolences. Ruan Yunting also felt that it was useless for her to stay, so she wanted to resign.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone outside quickly came to report:
"Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles in the southern border are in a hurry!"

The emperor's spirit was shaken, he quickly walked out of the emotion just now, and sat up straight.

Detai made a special trip to send the memorial to the emperor.

The emperor unfolded the memorial, looked down for a long time, his expression seemed to be unbelievable, and finally a smile gradually appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly: "Good! Good!"

Just now, she was silent about Xu Ningmeng's death, but now she is so happy?The too strong contrast between before and after eliminated the little bit of emotion that Ruan Yunting had just now. It is not a lie that the emperor is ruthless.

The emperor stood up, put the memorial still on the table, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The remnants of Southern Chu have written a letter of submission, and are willing to bow their heads and become ministers, pay tribute every year, and become ministers every year!"

Seeing this, Detai beamed with joy, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "The emperor is holy, the emperor is holy! The remnants of the Southern Dynasty dare to shake the tree with ants? You really can't control yourself!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Joshua and Ya Ge also saluted.

"This time, thanks to Prince Yu's bravery and skill in fighting, he was able to defeat the enemy for thousands of miles on his first expedition. He is really my good nephew!"

"Your Majesty knows people well and works well, and his blessings are generous, which is the blessing of the people all over the world." Detai kowtowed again.

Detai has been with the emperor the longest, and he is also the person who can best understand the emperor's mind.Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat when she heard Detai say that the emperor "knows people well and works well", which is equivalent to attributing Han Su's achievements to the emperor.

Yes, they were all negligent.Now that Han Su is famous all over the world, wouldn't he be feared by the emperor?
Ruan Yunting was thinking so, but the emperor looked at her with a smile and said, "Princess Duanyang, what do you think?"

Ruan Yunting saluted with a smile and said, "Your majesty is so talented, even if there is no King Yu, the small country of Southern Chu is no match for Daliang's iron cavalry."

The emperor who said this felt very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Who asked you this. What I asked is your opinion on this matter."

Ruan Yunting opened her eyes in astonishment, and hurriedly said, "Your majesty is joking, how can a little girl know the important affairs of the country? Besides, I am now the princess of Xiwu country. I overheard the emperor talking about this matter today, and I am already terrified." , don’t dare to argue any more.”

"I forgive you for your innocence. Let's treat it as a small talk today." The emperor winked at Detai, and Detai immediately understood, and politely led Joshua and Accord to retreat. Only the emperor was left in the imperial study. and Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting became more and more cautious, and fully mobilized her nerves to deal with the emperor's question. She thought for a while and said, "Since the Southern Chu Kingdom has surrendered, why doesn't the emperor let them go?"

What Ruan Yunting said was duplicity, in fact, if she left it on her, since the matter has come to this point, it would be nothing more than to take back Southern Chu and bring it into the territory of Daliang Kingdom in one fell swoop.

But the one above is already very jealous of her, if she behaves too much, she will cause trouble for herself.

The emperor looked at Ruan Yunting and felt a little disappointed. Could it be that he thinks too highly of her?

"You're right." The emperor followed her words and said, "Nowadays, horses are exhausted and people are exhausted. If we continue to fight, it will be a waste of money and people."

"Exactly." Ruan Yunting smiled and narrowed her eyes, knowing that what the emperor said was insincere, she still patiently accompanied her in acting.

……

When Ruan Yunting returned to Yangxin Xiaozhu, the sky was already dark, seeing the black clouds pressing down on the city, it seemed that it was going to rain.Quickly walked into the outer courtyard, walked across the courtyard to the west, just entered the door, An Guo greeted him with a smile: "Greetings to the princess."

"Hmm. Where's Mr. Jun?"

"Master Jun is playing chess with General Fu inside." Anguo pouted: "I don't know what's wrong with your lord. His chess skills have regressed a lot and he always loses."

Unless Jun Lanzhou has a high fever and his brain is confused, will he lose to Fu E?Of course Ruan Yunting understood the whole story, and did not answer Anguo, she quickly walked up the steps, stood under the verandah and took off the emerald satin cloak and handed it to Anguo: "Go and tell Chanjuan later, prepare the ingredients I mentioned this morning. .”

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Anguo blushed and smiled naively, and ran out like flying.

Looking at his back, Ruan Yunting naturally knew what he was thinking in her heart, she already had this matter in her heart, and walked into the room quickly.

"Lan Zhou."

The soft voice made people's hearts go numb, Jun Lanzhou raised his head and looked at her with a smile.

Fu E stood up, "Princess."

"General Fu." Ruan Yunting nodded in return, then sat on the empty seat beside Jun Lanzhou, took a few sips of his tea cup casually.

Seeing her like this, it was too late for Fu E to stop her. Ever since what happened last time, Ruan Yunting never paid attention to him again, and now he doesn't even have a chance to talk to her properly. How would a stubborn princess treat him.

Ruan Yunting suffered all the bitterness that Fu E had never experienced since he was a child, and he was so annoyed that he turned his eyes away and refused to look at her.

Ruan Yunting ignored Fu E's thoughts, only treated him as transparent and non-existent, and said to Jun Lanzhou with a smile: "I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"What's the big deal?" Jun Lanzhou dropped the chess piece, handed over to Fu E apologetically, and said with a flattering smile: "General Fu, I am willing to bow down to you, and you are not your opponent even after three games. Lose, it's better to be like this."

Hearing this, Fu E felt even more depressed.Jun Lanzhou clearly meant that he had something to say to Ruan Yunting, and he had no time to play chess with him.This chess was indeed requested by him on his own initiative, otherwise Ruan Yunting had entered the palace, and she would be idle here, winning a few games of chess would make her feel at ease.But now, he didn't feel comfortable at all.

Standing up quickly, he cast a cold glance at Ruan Yunting, his eyes were like the wife's husband who saw a red letter coming out of the wall, his nostrils were slightly open, he took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and said, "That's it, let's talk." Turning around and walking away up.

Jun Lanzhou said helplessly: "He is angry again."

"Don't pay attention to him." Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "Let's be serious, what do you think of Anguo and Chanjuan?"

"That boy An Guo told you?"

"You mean, An Guo told you?"

"So he didn't tell you." Jun Lanzhou smiled and said, "That's what Chanjuan said."

"No." Ruan Yunting said with a smile: "Chanjuan is a girl's family. How could she speak up about this kind of thing? I saw that the two of them seemed to have signs. You said that, it was An Guo who told you something about this in private. thing?"

Jun Lanzhou leaned on the armchair and picked up the teapot to refill Ruan Yunting's tea, "The person you have adjusted is naturally good. Chanjuan has a bright temper, is smart, and looks good. She is a good match with Anguo."

"But Anguo seems to be only sixteen this year? Chanjuan is already nineteen."

"Female junior, hold the golden brick." Jun Lanzhou handed the teacup to Ruan Yunting, and said with a smile: "You and Chanjuan grew up together, she has served you for so many years, now it's time to let her marry .Otherwise, it would be against human ethics not to marry her after the age of 20."

"I didn't mean to keep her from marrying. It's just that I've been busy with my own affairs all this time, and I've neglected Chanjuan and Hongdou. In the past, I also planned to take them as housemaids."

Jun Lanzhou naturally knows the rules of big families. The more noble the family is, the more outdated rules and bad rules there are. Many houses of the Hou family have maids to serve and entertain the master and the hostess when they have sex. Thinking about it, he thinks that I can't accept it.

"I don't want any housewives, you don't have to think so much, just match them all up."

Ruan Yunting was delighted to hear him say this, but she couldn't help but want to tease him: "Why not? They are like sisters to me, are they not good-looking or old? Besides, when I get pregnant in the future, I can't serve you anymore, why don't I want to give you a concubine? Instead of looking for it outside, it's better to use someone who knows everything."

Although it was a joke, Ruan Yunting spoke very seriously, as if she could foresee the depression of that kind of life.If you marry an ordinary ancient man, this kind of thing is unavoidable, isn't Luo Shimin just an example?Even Jun Zhaoying and Qiaojieer are not immune, Qiaojie is now pregnant and is planning to take a concubine for Jun Zhaoying.
